It seems like such a long time ago that Andrei Arlovski was the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight Champion and widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound mixed martial artists on the planet that I was surprised to discover he is still only 33.
To put that into perspective, despite everything the Belarusian has achieved in his career, he is still younger than Randy Couture was when he made his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut.
After winning his last two fights by stoppage to claim the Pro Elite heavyweight belt before signing with the biggest promotion in Asia, he is entitled to be upbeat about his future. Speaking exclusively at the press conference for ONE FC: 'Pride of a Nation,' Arlovski told MMAmania.com he expects to continue fighting for at least another seven years.
"I think I'm going to fight to age 40, if my mind, my body and my skill set let me fight, I will definitely fight until age 40. For a heavyweight I am still young at 33 and all my fights, all my victories, all my losses, I took experience from and I am doing what I like to do. I like to train hard and put on a big show and the most exciting thing is to have your arm raised in the arena."
Arlovski left the UFC on a three-fight winning streak and with a 10-4 record inside the Octagon, a decision which he says was made for 'business reasons.' He carried on where he left off by beating Ben Rothwell by decision and stopping Roy Nelson, the only fighter to ever manage this feat, but a loss to perhaps the greatest heavyweight of all time, Fedor Emelianenko, signaled the start of a four-fight losing streak.
Many were writing Arlovski off, but he has since turned things around with back-to-back stoppage wins and believes that he knows exactly what went wrong during that period and has taken the necessary action to ensure it doesn't happen again.
"I changed pretty much all my trainers and I changed my camp, now I train in Albuquerque with Greg Jackson. I made a mistake not coming to Greg Jackson's place after my Emelianenko fight. At the time, I was trying to please too many of my trainers. Now I changed my lifestyle, I am focused on my MMA career and to be a champion again is one of my goals."
Losing those fights made Arlovski assess not just his approach to MMA, but his entire way of living and he thinks that he has matured as both a person and a fighter as a result.
"Before the Emelianenko fight for me it wasn't a big deal to go to some nightclub and have a party, you know? It's not what I am doing right now, I have a beautiful fiancee who I am going to marry next year, I changed all my life. When you grow up your priorities are a little bit different, it's not like when I was 25, I have some life experience and I have people who have been with me through my victories and my losses. When I was champion I had a lot of people with me but now the people who are with me have been there for all my losses and I know they are my best friends."
Even for a fighter who has headlined numerous UFC cards and commanded million dollar paydays, Arlovski's next assignment is an exciting one. ONE FC: 'Pride of a Nation' is taking place in the same arena that Muhammad Ali once fought Joe Frazier and will be by far the biggest event in the history of Filipino MMA with the live audience expected to exceed 16,000 people.
The man standing between Arlovski and a third consecutive win is Australia's top heavyweight, Soa Palelei. The CFC veteran is riding a seven-fight win streak and has never been the distance in 20 fights, but Arlovski admits he doesn't know too much about him.
"I don't know who he is. I never saw his fights but Greg Jackson already did and he told me he was a great wrestler, a contender for the national Australian team, so he is definitely tough. He's a giant and I am not a giant, he's about 300 pounds, so it's going to be definitely very exciting, but at the same time a very difficult match for me."
One fighter who Arlovski does know is the most recognizable Filipino in the world, boxing's Manny Pacquiao. The two have actually sparred together, although not seriously, at Freddie Roach's Wild Card Gym in L.A. and Arlovski almost turned his back on MMA to pursue a career in professional boxing.
"I trained with Manny Pacquiao and we used to fool around in the ring sometimes. He's a funny guy and he's a great boxer. I signed a good deal with Oscar De Lay Hoya's Golden Boy promotions but after my loss to Brett Rogers, they put my boxing carer on hold and I decided to move on, but I definitely want to do boxing one day."
The ONE FC press conference was very well attended and the prospect of a world class MMA promotion coming to Manila has clearly caught the imagination of the Filipino media. It is Arlovski's first time fighting in Asia and he is looking forward to playing his part in combat sports history.
"I know how big Manny Pacquiao is here and how big boxing is here and I am looking forward to creating fans of Arlovski and fans of MMA here. It's a great opportunity for me, I always wanted to fight in Asia and finally my dream is coming true."

The Sun And The Moon
( Originally Published Early 1900's )
The place of sunrise, according to the Bella Coola, is guarded by the Bear of Heaven, a fierce warrior, inspirer of martial zeal in man; and the place of sunset is marked by an enormous pillar which supports the sky. The trail of the Sun is a bridge as wide as the distance between the winter and summer solstices; in summer he walks on the right-hand side of the bridge, in winter on the left; the solstices are "where the sun sits down." Three guardians accompany the Sun on his course, dancing about him; but sometimes he drops his torch, and then an eclipse occurs.
Not many Pacific-Coast tribes have as definite a conception of the Sun as this, and generally speaking the orb of day is of less importance in the myths of the northern than in those of the southern stocks of the North-West. It is conceived both as a living being, which can even be slain, and as a material object — a torch or a mask — carried by a Sun-Bearer. One of the most wide-spread of North-Western legends is a Phaethon-like story of the Mink, son of the Sun, and his adventures with his father's burden, the sun-disk. A woman becomes pregnant from sitting in the Sun's rays; she gives birth to a boy, who grows with marvellous rapidity, and who, even before he can talk, indicates to his mother that he wants a bow and arrows; other children taunt him with having no father, but when his mother tells him that the Sun is his parent, he shoots his arrows into the sky until they form a ladder whereby he climbs to the Sun's house; the father requests the boy to relieve him of the sun-burden, and the boy, carelessly impatient, sweeps away the clouds and approaches the earth, which becomes too hot — the ocean boils, the stones split, and all life is threatened; whereupon the Sun Father casts his offspring back to earth condemning him to take the form of the Mink. In some versions the heating of the world results in such a conflagration that those animal-beings who escape it, by betaking themselves to the sea, are transformed into the men who thereafter people the earth. It is obvious that in these myths we have a special North-Western form of the legend of the Son of the Sun who climbs to the sky, associated with the cataclysm which so frequently separates the Age of Animals from that of Man.
A curious Kwakiutl tradition tells of a Copper given up by the sea and accidentally turned so that the side bearing a pictured countenance lay downward; for ten days the sun failed to rise or shine: then the Copper was laid face upward, and the light again appeared. It would seem from this that copper is associated with the sun. Other myths tell of a hero who marries a copper woman, whose home — an underworld or undersea mansion — is also made of copper. The connexion of the bones of the dead with an abundance of food and mineral wealth would imply that the hero of this tale, Chief Wealthy, is a kind of Pluto. One of the most widely disseminated of North-Western legends, in which the Raven is usually the principal figure, tells of a time when darkness reigned throughout the world. The sun, or daylight, was kept imprisoned in a chest, under the jealous protection of a chieftain. The hero of the story realizes that daylight cannot be obtained by force, so he enters the womb of the chieftain's daughter when she comes to the spring for water; thence he is born, an infant insatiate until he gets possession of the precious box, from which the light is freed. A Salish version makes the Gull the guardian of the chest; the Raven wishes a thorn into the Gull's foot; then he demands light to draw the thorn; and thus day and light are created. Still another tale (which seems to be derived from the South-West) narrates how the Raven bored his way through the sky or persuaded the beings above to break it open, thus permitting sunlight to enter the world below.
The origin of fire is sometimes associated with the sun, as in a Salish account which tells how men lived "as in a dream" without fire until the Sun took pity upon them and gave it to them; but in very many North-Western myths the element is secured, curiously enough, from the ocean — perhaps a reminiscence of submarine volcanoes. Thus another Salish story recounts how the Beaver and the Woodpecker stole fire from the Salmon and gave it to the ghosts; the Mink captured the head of the ghost-chief and received fire as its ransom. Possibly the salmon's red flesh may account for its connexion with the igneous element, but the most plausible explanation of the fire as the gift of the sea is in the popular tale which ascribes its theft to the stag. An old man had a daughter who owned a wonderful bow and arrow; in the navel of the ocean, a gigantic whirlpool, pieces of wood suitable for kindling were carried about, and when the daughter shot her arrows into this maelstrom the wood was cast ashore, and her father lit a huge fire and became its keeper; but the stag, concealing bark in his hair, entered by craft, lay down by the flame as if to dry him-self, caught the spark, and made off with the treasure.
The Sun and the Moon are sometimes described as husband and wife, and the Tlingit say that eclipses are caused by the wife visiting her husband. Again, they are the "eyes of heaven," and it is quite possible that the prominence of eyes and eyelashes in North-Western myth is associated primarily with these heavenly bodies. The Sun's rays are termed his eyelashes; one of the sky-beings recognized by the Haida is called Great Shining Heaven, and a row of little people is said to be suspended, head down, from his eyelashes. The Haida, Kwakiutl, and Tlingit believe that they see in the moon figure a girl with a bucket, carried thither by the Moon; and the Kwakiutl have also a legend of his descent to earth, where he made a rattle and a medicine lodge from an eagle's beak and jaw, and with the power so won created men, who built him a wonderful four-storeyed house, to be his servants. An interesting Tsimshian belief makes the Moon a kind of half-way house to the heavens, so that whoever would enter the sky-world must pass through the Home of the Moon. The Keeper of this abode is Pestilence, and with him are four hermaphrodite dwarfs. When the quester appears, he must cry out to the Keeper, "I wish to be made fair and sound"; then the dwarfs will call, " Come hither, come hither!" If he obeys them, they will kill him; but if he passes on, he is safe. A certain hero found his way to the Moon's House by the frequent mode of the arrow ladder, and was there made pure and white as snow. Finally the Keeper sent him back to the world, with the command : "Harken what you shall teach men when you return to Earth. I rejoice to see men upon the Earth, for otherwise there would be no one to pray to me or to honor me. I need and enjoy your worship. But when you undertake to do evil I will thwart you. Man and wife shall be true to one another; ye shall pray to me; and ye shall not look upon the Moon when attending to nature's needs. I rejoice in your smoke. Ye shall not spend the evening in riotous play. When you undertake to do what I forbid I will deny you." This revelation of the law is a truly primitive mixture of morality and tabu, based upon the do ut des relationship of god and man so succinctly expressed in a Haida prayer recorded by Swanton: "I give this to you for a whale; give one to me, Chief."

Dr. Liubov Kreminska, an assistant professor of physics at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, has been named the Woman Physicist of the Month by the American Physical Society's Committee on the Status of Women in Physics.
"Dr. Kreminska is an outstanding individual who has done, and is doing, outstanding work in research, service and teaching," said Deanna Ratnikova, American Physical Society's women and education programs administrator. "She serves as an example for women science students and has been instrumental in bringing outstanding women in science to speak to students at UNK.
"The CSWP Woman Physicist of the Month award recognizes female physicists who have had a positive impact on other individuals' lives and careers," Ratnikova said.
As a result of her willingness to involve students in her research, Dr. Kreminska has received the College of Natural and Social Sciences Research Mentoring award. Her students have gone on to receive NASA Fellowships, undergraduate fellowship awards and have participated in Research Experiences for Undergraduates. She has also collaborated with physicists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and faculty from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UNK. She has served on several committees and has been a judge for the Nebraska Junior Academy of Sciences, Central Region.
The Committee on the Status of Women in Physics was founded in 1972 to address the encouragement and career development of women physicists. The committee consists of nine volunteer members appointed by the president of the APS. Throughout its 37-year history, CSWP has been an active sponsor of studies, programs and publications to foster women in physics.

January blues.
A post of mine about Hugo Schwyzer got reblogged by a number of feminist blogs. I intend to address the issues raised in those posts, but not right away because I have things outside of the Internet to do. (I'm posting this lest my lack of posting be taken as a sign of meek withdrawal from the Internet for being called deluded, mindless, sexist, or a puppet, among other things. Discomfited yes, scared off—no.)
My hiatus from Tumblr posting may be a while. I'm juggling full-time student status, various college transfer application deadlines, student government, my campus' feminist club leadership, social duties (Chinese New Year), and a mean case of what I'm hoping are the temporary blues. I'm choosing to let this lay, in favor of more pressing issues in my life.

Trademark Law
M&M Lawsuit Just One Part of Naked Cowboy's Financial Plan
Posted Feb 21, 2008 1:59 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The singing Naked Cowboy has ambitions beyond winning his trademark lawsuit against the Mars candy company over a billboard featuring an M&M dressed in the same attire—or lack of it—that he sports.
The cowboy, Robert Burck, is seeking $6 million, but he already makes a pretty good living, the Washington Post reports. He owns a Cadillac Escalade that he drives to New York's Times Square where he "strums, sings and preens, seven days a week." The newspaper describes his act this way:
"Strictly speaking, the Naked Cowboy is neither naked nor a cowboy. Behind that strategically placed red, white and blue guitar, a pair of tighty-whities are wrapped around what he proudly calls his 'striated glutes,' with 'Naked Cowboy' scrawled on the back side. And he hails from Cincinnati, which is rarely confused with the O.K. Corral. Woefully Underdressed Ohio Guy, of course, isn't as zippy."
Burck can make up to $10,000 a day for a personal appearance and a couple hundred dollars an hour in tips. "Look, I've got thousands of dollars in the bank," he told the newspaper. "I've got no bills, no operating costs. I park for free. I live with my girlfriend in Secaucus, [N.J.]" He hopes one day to be able to afford a yacht, a private jet and a mansion.
The newspaper observes that Burck has a way with the ladies and notes that Mars has already pulled the billboard. "If the company melts in his hands, it will hardly be a first," the story concludes.

Too bad the Auburn La Tech game is at 6pm Saturday instead of The 11am time slot, which would have been an ideal time for the Alabama fans to enjoy it too, just think, how much fun it could be to drive down to the plains and watch Auburn squander around and suffer a devastating loss to the Bulldogs. Then get to hear the chorus of boo birds singing as you walk to your car and knowing the fun just got started. On the way home you would officially be in a full fledged JOY RIDE ! , discontentment in the Auburn fans voices calling in on the local radio stations, and the grimace filled faces of their fans as they pass by with cars decorated in orange and blue would make your drive home almost as enjoyable as the game its self , Imagine you and your friends laughing at each and every caller, claiming that he or she was against the hiring of Gene Cheezit in the first place ! , your side would begin to hurt as uncontrollable laughter becomes painful and the tears that come with it, stream down your face like a small stream. The thoughts of Alabama's game with Va Tech that night is the only thing that could shake you from your euphoric trance . Now all of these things could only happen if Auburn played at 11 am instead of 6pm. Well like they say it's the thought that counts .
Gene Chezzit with a little luck and baring injuries could get his 7th victory as a head coach this year , only because Auburn plays Furman, Ball st, and La Tech, at home. If all goes well , Auburn should win 2 out of 3 of those games. With the talent already there and the infusion of several two star players coming in this year that could make an immediate impact. It's not out of the realm of possibility for Auburn to have a 3 and 8 season. It just depends on the quarterback situation and how well the defense jells. The battle for the cellar is going to be interesting, on one hand Miss State has Anthony Dixon and no one else ,but a real offensive mind at the helm, on the other hand Auburn who has a hungry 5 and 19 coach , with three or four talented players that could surprise us all at years end. I have to put my money on Auburn to win the race for the cellar in the SEC this year , but it wont be easy.
You've heard the story about people going to the doctor and being told " to get their personal business together " well If I got a chance to talk to the Auburn athletic director or the guy who pushed for Chezzits hiring, I would tell him to get his personal business together in the next couple of years . Start networking right now ! so that when that time comes you will be ready to land another gig.

Here it is. Been a while. Nothing going on right now. No hispanic people playing baseball, no new aquisitions, no news from Jesse Jones, and nothing going on with Seattle College basketball. It's all really too bad. I wish there was more to report, but it looks like it's going to be Iran and Jerusalem in the championship game of the WBC.

Faculty Workshop and Comedy Show 'DEAFology 101' on Tap for Jan. 23
Old Dominion will explore Deaf culture via three programs offered this month as part of the Office of Intercultural Relations' Social Entrepreneurship series.
A comedy show about Deaf culture the evening of Monday, Jan. 23, featuring Ken Glickman, will be preceded earlier in the day by a faculty development workshop, "Deaf Proverbs."
Glickman, also known as "Prof. Glick," will conduct the free workshop from 1-2:30 p.m. in the Rectors' Room of Webb Center. Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP by Jan. 18 at http://bit.ly/deafproverbs.
Born profoundly deaf, Glickman joined IBM as a computer programmer and has taught programming and computer graphics at National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology and at Gallaudet University. He left IBM to establish DEAFinitely Yours Studio in Silver Spring, Md.
Glickman is the author of several books on Deaf culture, including "DEAFinitions," "Deaf Proverbs" and "More DEAFinitions!" which will be available for purchase at the workshop.
Glickman's comedy show, "DEAFology 101," is free and open to the public. It is scheduled for 7-8:30 p.m. Jan. 23 in Chandler Recital Hall of the Diehn Center for the Performing Arts and will be preceded by a reception at 6:30 p.m. Seating is limited; those planning to attend are asked to RSVP to email@example.com.
Many situations unique to the world of the deaf will be explored and explained on stage by "Prof Glick," dressed in his comical lab coat and beady black reading glasses. Just about everything, from anthropology to biology to physics, is covered in this hilarious, fast-paced course. Glickman's books will be available for purchase at the show.
A related program, "Language in the Academy: Deconstructing the Language of Disability in the Deaf and Blind Communities," will be presented by David Thomas, a Ph.D. candidate in ODU's higher education program, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 24, at the Intercultural Center (2114 Webb Center).
This Faculty Voice Brown Bag Lecture and the programs presented by Glickman are sponsored by several university offices, departments and organizations, including the Division of Student Engagement and Enrollment Services, the Office of Intercultural Relations and the Office of Educational Accessibility.

WATERBURY, Vt. (AP) - Vermont State Police will be tweeting about police work and issues they face in a 24-hour tweet-a-thon involving nearly 100 law enforcement agencies around the world.
The second global tweet-a-thon this year starts on Friday at 8 a.m.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Knife, accordion, box, plissé—however they executed them, designers sent pleats aplenty down the Spring runways. We're not talking about the stiff folds of your starched schoolgirl uniform here. Haider Ackermann and Chloé's Hannah MacGibbon showed fluid, body-skimming incarnations that swished with each step. Richard Nicoll achieved a similar effect with sun-ray pleats that fanned out from the waist. "I used pleats to create architectural necklines and flattering volume," he told Style.com. "They add a mathematical, modern-looking edge to longer lengths and ethereal fabrics." Others gave classic creases an update by using Day-Glo brights. Miuccia Prada's sweet shirtwaist dress at Miu Miu, for example, came in an acid green. And at Rue du Mail, Martine Sitbon created a unique patterned effect by layering micro-pleated aqua tulle over a graphic shift.
Click here for a slideshow, and let us know if you're into the folds.
I really love that the folded style is back again. Marchesa's summer 2011 collection is such a great inspiration and I especially loved Stella McCartney. So I say yes :)
When done properly, pleats can be really flattering. Plus they look so lovely when you move.
I love pleats, a few weeks ago I visited an exhibition in london where a lot of Issey Miyake's most iconic work with pleats was on show and it was so inspiring. I am very pleased that pleats are going to be a big thing again! I simply love them!
I just got back from 5 years on the Model Circuit, Milan, Athens, Asia, Uhg! There is alot of good, but a lot of bad along the way. Personally, I was very effected by the way we had to "starve" ourselves, were treated like "mannequins" (suppose that's our job description).. but anyways I produced a documentary on it all, showcasing the "exploits" and raising awareness:)
It's here if you want to see it, free of course.. http://www.davecotetv.com

Hundreds of Vermonters were late to work Tuesday.
That's because a big paving project along Interstate 89 in Chittenden County forced commuters to get stuck in traffic. Workers were paving the northbound lane near the Richmond Exit, which forced commuters to move slowly through the area. The paving project also created headaches for those getting onto the Interstate from Route 2.
VTrans officials say they are working with the contractor to limit work during high
commute times, but to expect delays until the big project wraps up.

A point in dragged state has a leader attached, is there a way to add an additional leader?
How about a plain, old-fashioned AutoCAD leader? What info will the additional leader be pointing to?
The leader would be pointing to another point location of the same elevation, and if I wanted to use a plain old fashioned autocad leader I would not have asked.
I miss read that, none that i'm aware off
Would be nice though

Yet another convict had charges cleared on Tuesday in the sprawling "disaster" emerging from the State Drug Lab in JP.
Prosecutors went along with a motion on behalf of Charles Adilson, 32, to take back his August 2011 plea of guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, according to Jake Wark, spokesperson for the Suffolk County District Attorney's office.
Boston Police saw him do a drug buy near the Pine Street Inn, prosecutors said. Chemist Annie Dookhan processed the alleged cocaine in her now-shuttered JP lab. The substance can't be retested because it was destroyed on a court order.
Dookhan is suspected of tainting 34,000 samples in cases that have put 1,100 people behind bars.
Adilson did not get his freedom on Tuesday, however. He is being held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Prosecutors say he has prior convictions for violating the abuse prevention act, trespassing, assault and battery, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Patch has a call in to Adilson's attorney.
Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley has termed the scandal caused by Dookhan's alleged actions a "disaster." On Friday, three defendants were freed on bail or had charges dropped against them.
For all of Jamaica Plain Patch's coverage of the JP Drug Lab Scandal, please visit our topic page on the issue.

A lesson is repeated until it's learned
This is a blog about some things that I like.
"Ever since the Olympics rolled into town everyone in Britain has had this weird upbeat feeling. Even long-term Leonard Cohen fans have sounded perkier than Andi Peters on Ecstasy. So what does David Cameron do? He decides to pour a giant bucket of steaming piss on our parade. And how does he do that? By having a reshuffle.
Don't get me wrong, he needed to have a reshuffle — everything he's done or tried to do since coming to power has been a disaster, from attempting to privatise trees to letting Chloe Smith talk in public. So, yeah, he needed to have a reshuffle all right, but the worst thing he could do was actually have a reshuffle. Because having a reshuffle took everyone out of our Olympic and Paralympic La-La land and reminded us that (a) we have a government; (b) it's f***ing terrible, and (c) it's just been reshuffled in a way that makes it even more terrible.
So what are the headlines? A woman who doesn't like gays as Equalities Minister, a man who is frightened of flying as Transport Secretary and someone who lots of people would like to see dead in charge of Health. Seriously, who was behind this piece of strategy? The Chuckle Brothers? It's like a joke reshuffle.
Why not go the whole f***ing hog and put Louis Walsh in charge of Defence and make an angry toddler Minister for Justice? How about Ant and Dec heading up DECC? The writer of Fifty Shades of Grey as Chief Whip? Or what about this — the decomposing heads of the Dragons Den bosses strung together to form a Newton's Cradle running the Department for Work and Pensions?
But none of that is the Real Problem with the shake up. The Real Problem is that the Chancellor is still there. Cameron should have shuffled George Osborne out of the Exchequer and to the backbenches or, better still, off this f***ing mortal coil.
Why? I'll tell you why. Because George Osborne is so f***ing unpopular that when he went to hand out medals at the Paralympics even the mascots Wenlock and Mandeville were giving him the finger.
And why is "Gorgeous George" so unpopular? (I use "gorgeous" ironically. And "George", for that matter.) Is it because he has the shifty look of a sex pest caught rubbing himself over the buffet at a funeral? Or is it that he's a millionaire who is doing to the economy what Russell Brand likes to do to granddaughters? Hard to say. All we know for certain is that since DC introduced his "happiness index" it has told us that George Osborne is the main thing responsible for our unhappiness. I'm not a believer in f***ing signs or portents but it can't be a coincidence that his initials are GO.
Maybe I'm being too harsh on Cameron. Maybe I should give him a second chance — the way he gave his Head of Communications, Andy Coulson, a second chance before he was arrested and charged with perjury. (You may think as a former government Head of Communications I am gloating. I am not. I only mention it because I am writing this for a Murdoch-owned newspaper and I know how rigorous they like to be with the facts). But I don't think I am being too harsh on the Prime Minister — I think the pancake-faced, claret-swilling pony-f***er has RUINED EVERYTHING (including my ability to hold down my tea when I see him on the evening news).
Cameron's Government is so catastrophically incapable that this reshuffle is less like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic and more like rearranging Titanics on a f***ing Super Titanic. And while the Titanics on the Super Titanic all head towards each other and the inevitable catastrophic conclusion he is parachuting in a team of expert ship scuttlers to speed things up. Meanwhile, despite the fact that a large amount of money has been spent on deckchairs, G4S have just announced that they will not be able to provide enough people to rearrange them.
The problem for the Conservatives is this: somehow, Christ alone knows how, the acceptable face of the Tory party is Boris Johnson. Yes. You read that right. Boris titting Johnson. A man who looks like he ate a scarecrow and sicked it up on himself. But he is also the only popular Tory. And the one and only Tory they can't shuffle into the Cabinet.
So what should Dave do now? Well, the answer's obvious. He should stand down and let Nick Clegg take over. I'm f***ing kidding. Seriously, can you imagine?
No, sadly for Dave, he'll just have to keep plodding on RUINING EVERYTHING until the electorate won't tolerate it any more and all his friends are in jail." -

(WCCO) - The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis announced Tuesday an allegation of inappropriate touching has been brought against Archbishop John Nienstedt.
According to the Archdiocese, Nienstedt is accused of inappropriately touching a young boy on the buttocks during a group photo session after a confirmation ceremony in 2009.
Nienstedt has denied the allegation but will step aside from public ministry, effective immediately, while an investigation into the incident takes place.
Once the Archdiocese learned of the allegations, they contacted police. They said in a statement on their website that they are ready to fully cooperate with the St. Paul Police's investigation.
In a letter to the ministry, Nienstedt said he does not know the individual involved in the allegations but presumes "he is sincere in believing what he claims."
That said, he said the allegation is "absolutely and entirely false."
"I have never once engaged in any inappropriate contact with a minor and I have tried to the very best of my ability to serve this Archdiocese and the church faithfully, with honor and due regard for the rights of all, even those with whom I disagree," he states.
Nienstedt also states he has met victims of sexual abuse and knows the lasting damage that can cause.
He finishes the letter asking for prayers for the individual who made the allegations and prayers for himself.
Auxiliary Bishop Lee Piche will cover all the Archbishop's public duties during this time.

Android's Malware Problem
According to a recent study by the U.S. government, 79% of all malware in mobile operating systems resides in Android.
That malware can come from a variety of sources, says Bob Egan, CEO and founder of Sepharim Group, a mobile enterprise consultancy. Legitimate applications can be infected within the Google Play store, and some users "sideload" applications from sources other than the Play store.
But the biggest threat is the free-for-all nature of upgrading and patching the many versions of the operating system. The study, conducted by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, found that 44% of Android users still have versions of Gingerbread that were released in 2011 and have known security holes that were patched in later versions.
The report, which was published to alert police, fire, EMS and security professionals to the problem, cited known threats and suggested mitigation strategies for each.
Threat: SMS Trojans represent nearly half of the malicious applications circulating on older versions of Android.
Mitigation: Install Android security suite designed to combat such Trojans. It's available for purchase or free download from the Internet.
Threat: Rootkits log a user's location, keystrokes and passwords surreptitiously.
Mitigation: Install Carrier IQ Test, a free application that can detect and remove the rootkits.
Threat: Fake Google Play domains trick users into installing malicious apps that can then steal sensitive information from the mobile device.
Mitigation: Install only approved applications and follow IT department procedures to update the operating system. Install and regularly update antivirus software.
— Tam Harbert

Porterdale's 8th annual Fourth of July Festival features vendors of food and gifts, as well as music, adult beverages, children's activities and fireworks later in the evening.
Page 1 of 1
Porterdale may take advantage of several small city-owned lots to install "pocket parks" that will feature a couple pieces of playground equipment for young children.
Caretakers for a property owned by a deceased Oxford man missed a Covington hearing last month for failing to secure a vacant property.
Porterdale cited an Oxford landlord for 10 code violations possibly totaling thousands of dollars in fines for a Spruce Street house where, among other things, the toilet and bathtubs would not drain and the doors would not latch.
Porterdale has received or is set to receive several grants totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars and is applying for more than $1 million more - the reward for complying with state requirements for development planning.
Porterdale's city storm water system has deteriorated in many parts of the city to the point that the old clay pipes are nearly or totally nonexistent, city officials said Tuesday.
Porterdale city officials decided Tuesday to eliminate the four-hour weekly furlough on all its employees, meaning the city will have 24-hour police coverage for the first time since last summer.
A former Georgia attorney general visited Porterdale Monday night to swear in a former colleague as mayor of the small city.
Several volunteers gathered Friday morning at a small house on Washington Street just inside the Porterdale line. The paint on the house had been sanded previously.
The Porterdale Police Department this month was awarded a $10,000 technology grant, money police officials said would be used to replace old computers and servers.
In 1981, Bobby Hamby and his wife Deborah moved into 35 N. Broad St., a house that had served as home to senior management at the textile mill owned by the Bibb Manufacturing Co.
Porterdale called a meeting for Thursday to adopt a stand-in budget for 2012 after a short public hearing last week.
Porterdale City Council agreed Monday night to pass a placeholder budget this month to meet state deadlines with the explicit intention of revisiting the entire spending plan when the new mayor and council are seated next month.
The initial proposed 2012 budget for Porterdale anticipated a nearly 17 percent drop in revenue compared with the budget passed last year.
"Anything worth doing is worth doing well." Everyone has had a parent or relative tell them that, often repeatedly.
Porterdale may have to refinance a one-year tax anticipation loan next year as falling property vaues have withered the city's budget and totally depleted its reserves.

All the latest Apple news, featuring developments on the iPhone, iPad, Macbooks, OS X and much more.
You'll pay a premium for it, but the ClamCase Pro for iPad Mini is the best and most versatile all-around keyboard case we've seen.
With its slim design, fantastic screen, and oodles of power, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a superb smaller tablet, and a worthy competitor to the ever-popular iPad Mini.
Functionally, the iPad Air is nearly identical to last year's model, offering only faster performance and better video chatting. But factor in design and aesthetics, and the iPad Air is on another planet. It's the best full-size consumer tablet on the market.
The latest iPad adds several tweaks and improvements to secure its position at the top of the tablet heap. It's better all around, but third-gen owners need not apply.
For sheer typing responsiveness, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air is still a pro. But, even with its new tilt-angle design, it's no longer quite as unique as it used to be.
With a host of improvements--faster graphics, 4G wireless options, a better camera, and a gorgeous high-res screen--the latest iPad cements its position at the head of the tablet pack.
A simple, clever solution to minimize finger smudges and germs sells for an affordable $45.
If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money.
The SteelSeries Stratus is the best-feeling and most versatile iOS game controller, but it's a lot to pay for an accessory.
As long as you take the time to learn its features, TouchCast has a ton of potential for making great videos.

Golden with slight chill haze. Creamy off white head with incredible lasting power. Good lacing. Biscuity aroma with some herbal spiciness, albeit a bit on the muted side. Medium body with a medium malt presence. Medicinal bitter finish. Medium high carbonation. Bitterness moderates as the beer warms up.

Poured into a pilsner a fuller than expected golden color with a great defined two finger clingy white head that left globs of lace as it settled very slowly into a frothy mass.The nose is light with light citric hops, and a tinge of toast and iron.Big citric,amd spearamint flavored New Zealand hops jump out at ya at first sip but they are not the only component to the beer a firm somewhat dry malt base with a bit of crusty bread,a faint iron note as well.Wow OHB really hit a home run here,this is a fantastic hopped up pilsner.A great pilsner,one of the best, if not the best I have had.

Thanks to jtd1969 for sharing this bomber with me.
A - pours a dark copper with a thin white lacing of head
S - very herbal hop aroma
T - quite hoppy - herbal, spicy; cereal grains
M - medium bodied, crisp, well carbonated
This is a decent beer, but it's intense for the style. The hop character is composed of New Zealand hop strains. It's intensely herbal and spicy. There are none of the grassy, noble hop characteristics here. Overall, it could use a bit of balance. I enjoyed it, but if I'm going for a pilsner I'd like something smoother and more easy drinking.

A: Pours a deep, clear yellow--almost amber--with two fingers of white head that recedes into a froth ring with a little lacing.
S: Pilsner malts and biscuit aromas with sweet citrusy and floral aromas from the hops.
T: Sweet biscuit flavors up front before a big blast from the hops. Some grapefruit flavors at first followed by strong notes of earthy and resiny pine. The finish is fairly bitter, especially for a pilsner.
M: Medium-light body with mid-high carbonation, this beer is a bit oily feeling in the mouth with all of the hoppy characteristics. I'd like it more light and crisp.
O: A good pilsner, overall. I like the strong hop presence, though the body holds it back some.

Clear gold crowned with a frothy, fluffy head that retains rather well. Buttery/biscuity pils malt aromas along with an interesting blend of NZ hops...grass, lime, fruit, and something kind of spruce-like. Nelson Sauvin is noticable. Hoppy and refreshing flavor. Slight metallic hint at first, though it seems to vanish after the first sip. Floral, leafy, minty, and green hops with some fresh grain in the aftertaste. Medium-light body, slick, oily, bitter, and lightly drying. This is a fine, unique hoppy pils. An intriguing showcase for New Zealand hops, which I'm increasingly looking forward to brewing with myself.

Cool looking bottle I picked up at the dispensary in Apex. Olde Hickory kind of popped up out of nowhere in the last year or so. The weather has been brutal so pilsner figured about right. This one has a decent white head above a translucent golden body. Carbonation does not appear to be excessive. The nose is earthy and bread tones with some moderate noble hop coverage.
This impresses me off the bat with strong hop flavors and a quenching, refreshing mouthfeel. The carbonation is present but isn't able to temper the zesty hopping. This is much more flavorful than most pilsners and seems more like a double or Imperial than a standard German pilsners. For four bucks for a bomber, this is a nice deal too. Definitely the best effort I've seen from these brewers. Very encouraging.

There's a foamy head with a bright yellow color. At first taste, it has a decent amount of hops, but not something of a delicious pilsner. After a while though, it just starts getting ending so fast. It's dry, lacking in flavor, and then it just dies. It's one of the quickest beers that has fallen off my palette before.

Thanks to Commis for hooking me up with this pilsner and being a great trading partner.
Okay, so the appearance is a pretty standard clear golden yellow with a nice frothy head of pure white that lingers for a decent amount of time. The Pilsner may be a little darker than some other notable German-style Pilsners that I have had (even though they are calling this a New Zealand-style Pils, and I am not sure what that means.) The beer left wonderful lacing all over my pint glass.
The aroma of the beer is clean grain with almost no hoppiness shining through in the nose. It smells slightly metallic and not at all like a wonderful Pilsner.
The taste is, well, it is better than the aroma led me to expect. It starts off fairly neutral and quickly gives way to some grainy huskiness. There are some metallic notes in the flavor that are easily picked up and the ending is extremely bitter. I love bitter beers and bitter endings, but I like them to mingle with nice hop flavor, too. This beer is just bitter with no great hop flavor you expect to pop in a German Pilsner.
The mouthfeel is thin and watery and fits the Pilsner style quite well.
This is an average beer. I am very thankful for the chance to try this beer (thanks to Commis,) but this certainly isn't a Pilsner that shines with quality. I think this needs a bit more hop flavor and balance.

Purchased a bottle in Swansboro, NC at Harrika's brew haus.
Not that I care about labels, but this one looks like it was made with a dot matrix printer using a photo they found on google.
Anyways, had this one a nice day on the beach.
Smell: Hoppy, bread, nothing special
Taste: Grassy hops, some citrus, nothing really special about it. Maybe more hoppy than expected.
Mouthfeel: Went down easy. But then again, what doesn't go down easy on the beach...
Overall, it was rather regular. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great either.

4.38/5 rDev +16.5%
Appearance: An inch of foam sits on top of the clear golden liquid and webs the pint glass on the way down
Smell: Bready tones, with a hint of vinous and grassy hops
Taste: A hint of bread, up front, followed by the quick appearance of the vinous grassy hop bill; the beer becomes increasingly bitter, after the swallow though it finishes with a touch of residual sweetness
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with crisp carbonation
Overall: A very interesting and refreshing twist on the pilsener style; a top notch beer from Olde Hickory

One of the newer bottle offerings in the area. They've had this on draft at their tap room before, but the first they've bottled. Glad they did. Best by Jan. '13 marked on the side.
22oz bottle, split with my wife, poured into a pint glass. Pours a clear pale gold. Light bubbles rising throughout. A nice frothy white head rest atop, leaving behind great sticky lace all over the glass. The rose is lush with ripe oranges, lemon, lime, tangelo. Really a citrus bomb. I like it.
Fresh, crisp mouth that aides drinkability and is refreshing at the same time. The citrus carries over to the flavor as I get grapefruit, bitter orange rind, and a snap of lemon on the back end. The bitterness in this one is fantastic. A nice addition to this style. This could be a MIPA (Mild IPA). Crisp smack of bitterness, but it doesn't linger leaving the palate scorched. 4 types of NZ hops were used in this one, including one of my favorites - Jade - and you can tell. Great beer. One I will share with others in upcoming trades, no doubt.

Had this a while back. Poured on tap in a pint glass. The appearance was a nice pils look with a good head. The smell was pretty aggressive in the hop category. More than a traditional pils. The taste was balanced with the hops and the 5.75 ABV. This almost seemed like a cross between a pils and an ipa. Everything else was better than average. Overall, I would give this a 4.25, but BA doesn't have a half-way point between 4 and 4.5

Recollection is a funny thing
This quote "The organization has especially been stumped when it comes to drafting skilled forwards. The last one of note to step in as a raw rookie and start scoring immediately was Jarome Iginla." caught my eye. Iginla is not a Flame draft pick either of course. Admittedly no other Flames draft pick has been better, but Martin St. Louis was a college free agent won the Art Ross trophy and has a career 842 points, so I guess he was ok. As for Iginla "scoring immediately" as a "raw rookie" that's not how Iginla remembers it.

A spider-filled shabby old hut turns a perfect office room with a fabulous design. Wonder what we are talking about? The beautiful office room located in the middle of a domestic garden in Hackney, North-East London has caught our eye. This is a perfect place for those who take work from home.
The old cob-webbed hut now becomes a cozy office space. The Office Sian Architecture + Design group designed this green office under a limited time and cost expenses. In order to provide natural sunlight within the office they framed full-height doors which would also give a clear view of garden. You can catch glimpses of the sky through hidden roof light. Maximum space utilization and compatibility make this office space a fantastic piece of work.
The library gives a more professional look for the room. There, they have used modular sizes of wood to avoid wastage of space. The unique design is more eco-friendly and energy saving that will cut down electricity bills. This old hut now acts as a working studio for its clients.

Portugal Telecom (PT) and Brazil's Oi have agreed to merge, the two say, in a transaction that will hinge on the market providing a capital increase of at least BRL5bn ($2.28bn). The deal is motivated by synergies – though analysts are skeptical about the savings involved – and a simplification of Oi's shareholding structure. In the transaction, PT shareholders will come away with 38% of the combined company, and Oi's holders 62%. The new Brazil-based entity combining PT...

Yes fellow bloggers/readers, the reports of my unfortunate demise at the hands of The Bloated One have been greatly exaggerated. Although I do have a contract out on Lycosis' daughter, for her unscrupulous duping of my assistant cartographer, one Hannibal Hornblower.
Shalon, the aforementioned daughter, gave Hannibal a small chest as payment for his work on her dungeon (coming soon to this very blog). Turns out the chest had multiple complex locks and traps and Mister Hornblower, in his infinite wisdom, spent the portly sum of 1800 gp to remove the traps and arcane snares. Once unlocked, the dwarf popped the chest open - only to release her most daring trap - a miniature mimic.
Needless to say when Hannibal showed up for work last week, with said mimic - imagine a crab, complete with over-sized pincers - attached to his nose and right ear, I nearly died laughing. After regaining my composure, and telling Hannibal to please refrain from speaking due to his sounding like a seal on helium, we set about finding some equally unscrupulous miscreants to return the favor ten-fold.
Stay tuned...

Bloated Blowfish:Commons Tavern Detailed Maps
For those wondering, I've just finished moving and was without internet access. However, I can now continue posting info on the Bloated Blowfish Tavern complex.
Commons Tavern: First Floor
The layout is housed on the lower plateau that overlooks Lake Elise and grants easy access for town-folk, fishermen and travelers. The first floor includes main tavern hall complete with large fireplace, spacious fronting bar and kitchen.
Kitchen access is granted through a closed door, located near the stairs which lead to the second floor. A secondary storage room, containing steps to the basement, sits next to the kitchen. Entertainers passing through the Lake Elise region typically perform near the fireplace.
Commons Tavern: Second Floor
The second floor includes two large private rooms and a balcony area where the town-folk gather. It features a set of built in tables and benches which face inwards, and overlook the lower level. Entertainers performing below will either have a) coppers tossed down at them, or B) chicken bones depending on their entertainment level.
An outdoor balcony is accessible via a door on the Southern wall.
Commons Tavern: Basement
The basement is accessed via the storage room on the first floor and includes wine casks, two large wine racks and other small storage rooms. (B10) A secret door, located along the Northern wall leads to (B13) which includes a passage that leads up to the Blowfish Regal Tavern basement and to a sealed portcullis.

Modular Dungeon - Bloated Blowfish :Commons Tavern
7 December, 1977:
The Blowfish Commons Tavern is the meeting place for most people, given it's proximity to the Lake Elise harbor, and being on the lower hillock overlooking the town of Troyen. The tavern features 2 floors; a lower level with large fireplace, and upper balcony region (with 2 private rooms) and outer balcony for solitude.
Modular Dungeon - Bloated Blowfish Tavern - Finished
7 December, 1977:
After 48 hours of work, I'm proud to present the finished Bloated Blowfish Tavern/Inn. The next few posts will focus on the individual buildings, and includes floor plans (where applicable).
My original notes and maps included the following info:
The Blowfish was originally built on the ruins of a unfinished castle in the Crestfallen Mountains, and began operation in the only finished building, the guard tower. The tower was the first stronghold in the Troyen region, standing as both shelter and trading post to and from the Lake Elise region. Some 106 years later, the tower fell in disrepair as the result of a major quake that killed 14 guards and 23 peasants.
This particular quake led to the formation of two major features in the realm; the destruction of the 12000 foot peak known as Herald's Peak - which blocked the original Salt Route (altering the flow of the Soulease River), and caused the formation of Landsdrop.
Lord Silverleaf, with son in tow made the journey shortly after news reached his court of the disaster. After surveys of the region deemed the event to have settled, a retainer by the name of Horace "Flatfoot" Feshel came forward with a bold plan - which led to to the construction of the series of buildings that have come to be known as "The Blowfish".

Modular Dungeon - Bloated Blowfish Tavern
7 December, 1977:
In 1977 the Bloated Blowfish was hand drawn on brown rolled paper, and included 3 separate taverns/inns situated on a hill side overlooking Lake Elise. Then I transferred it to graph paper.
When I started mapping it in Sketchup I had considered reworking some of the features. But I decided the design deserved to be preserved on this blog, and thus, included below are in-progress images of the very tavern this blog is named for.

Modular Dungeon - Watermill
20 December, 1978:
Continuing the Modular Buildings, I decided to mash together a Watermill, which features a Gristmill for grinding flour. Originally I wanted to do a full river with inboard region where the water was directed into the feeding trough, but decided it was a feature I didn't need for this particular model.

In the past couple months, Shaq has been smoothing over the tensions with Kobe, Phil, and all the Lakers, paving the way for his return. Why not grant him his secret request?
Their recent game again the Celtics was a fluke - they can't beat the Celtics in a series without Bynum. This way they get their big body, plus someone who has shown he can defer to the younger guy when he gets back (like Shaq attempted to last season). Barnes fills the same role as Odom for them.
Odom can easily start at the PF here, and we can return, in a small way, to our up-tempo ways. I know Kerr says he wants to play defense, but we're worse even at defense than last year, and I remember hearing he tried to trade marion for odom at the beginning of last year anyway.
The coup de grace is Farmer, a legit backup PG for Nash. Maybe it looks like the Lakers are giving up a lot, but the chance to get Shaq back would be huge for them. PLus, we can throw in that Bobcats pick we got from the J-Rich trade if we need to.

The use of Adobe Acrobat and PDF file format is a growing trend in almost all aspects of the legal environment. Once PDF documents are created they are often transmitted electronically and file size can become an issue. If you have a full version of Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), there is a really quick and easy way to reduce the file size. Print the file to your Adobe printer! This action does not create a printed document, but it creates an electronic file (It doesn't make sense, but that is what happens.) When you create this file you are prompted for a file name. Create an amended file name before you hit save to protect your original. The cautionary caveat is to remember that you are creating an "electronic printed file" so navigational tools you may have built into your original PDF, such as bookmarks, will not be available.
If you are creating your PDF from Word or Word Perfect, use the print to PDF option instead of "Save as PDF" and you will have created the smaller file size from the get go. You still need to have a full version of Adobe installed to complete this option.
A third option available to reduce the file size in the Pro versions of Adobe can be found by navigating to Advanced on the Menu Bar then to PDF Optimizer on the drop down menu. Using this option will leave features like bookmarks in the document but still reduce the file size.
