Funny Way to Be Comedy Club goes with a bang for funnyman Dave Johns
11:50am Monday 3rd December 2012 in News By Stuart Laundy, Reporter (Barnard Castle & Teesdale)
THE final Funny Way To Be Comedy Club show in Barnard Castle for 2012 went off with a bang for funnyman Dave Johns.
Making his first visit to the town, he was enjoying a pre-show nap only to be woken by the sound of fireworks exploding from Barnard Castle's Christmas festival Son et Lumiere event.
The Geordie native, who is used to headlining gigs all over the country, was part of a line-up of top names for the sell-out show, at St Mary's Parish Hall.
Compere for the evening was Jason Cook, who is currently enjoying a high profile thanks to his role in the BBC2 comedy Hebburn.
Graham Oakes performed in the character of Mr Oakley and Gary Delaney rounded the evening off with a performance packed with one-liners.
Organiser Peter Dixon said: "All the comedians said they had a great time in Barnard Castle and loved the Teesdale audience with their warm response."
The Funny Way To Be Comedy Club takes a midwinter break before returning to the parish hall on March 16, 2013, with this year's Edinburgh Festival best newcomer Daniel Simonsen headlining. Support will be provided by Pat Cahill and Alfie Brown.

Airs tonight on Sky1HD.
And we're not going to spoil it for you but.... there is an amazing new haircut. There is an amazingly rude new character. And our favourite actor gets a whole song to himself. Other than that you'll just have to tune in.
In the meantime, here are some snippets of songs we were sent - the episode is heavy on show tunage, as you you can see:

About Us
The Lao American Community Services is organized to assist refugees and immigrants from Laos residing in Illinois, especially those in metropolitan Chicago, to become self-sufficient, productive participants in American society while preserving and enhancing their cultural heritage, identity, and their sense of belonging to a community.
In 1975, the end of the war in Vietnam initiated a mass exodus of millions of refugees from the Southeast Asian countries from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. By 1985, nearly one million refugees resettled to the United States. From 1975 to 1983, over 3,500 Laotian refugees were resettled in Chicago, primarily in the Albany Park and Uptown neighborhoods. Others settled in the suburbs of Aurora, Elgin, Joliet, and Rockford.
LACS currently provides the following services in Chicago and South Elgin:

In a word, yes!
But whether a small relapse is helpful or not to your quitting depends on how you handle it. The key is to turn it into a learning experience that will make you better equipped to handle a clean and sober lifestyle.
The following pitfalls are common after that one drink or drug use, but can be used to your advantage.
Fear of Failure
After having that one drink or drug use, people often get scared that alcohol or the drug has a "hold" over them and that they will never be free of it. Fear increases anxiety, and when you are anxious, what do you want to do? You want to have a drink or take the drug that used to make you feel better.
So getting scared when you have had a drink or taken a drug after previously quitting can lead you right back to where you started.
The SolutionOne way to handle this kind of fear is by learning relaxation exercises, and practicing them on a regular basis, especially when you feel the urge…
Increased Cravings
After having one drink or drug use after quitting, some people have such a good time that they start craving it even more. This is partly because of the increased excitement for doing something forbidden, partly because of the decrease in tolerance you have for the alcohol or drug, giving you a stronger effect, and partly because in order to become addicted, your brain built up pathways as a fast-track to stress relief.
The SolutionThe best way to handle the increased desire to return to your addiction is to think seriously about other ways to enjoy yourself. They may not seem very exciting compared to drinking or drugs, but keep an open mind, and think about activities or experiences you have always wanted to try but never did (maybe because you were spending all your money on your addiction).
There may even be things you wanted to do but never dared or things you did when you were younger and really enjoyed doing. This is time to think about that skydiving holiday, joining a knitting club, or learning a new language.
Once an Addict…
When you give in to the craving for just one more drink or hit, you may feel resigned to the idea of being an addict forever. Yet this simply is not the case.
Very few people started out in life being addicted, and most have to work hard to get addicted in the first place. Your addiction may be something that feels very familiar to you, but that doesn't mean that is all that you are.
The SolutionThink about other sides to yourself, not related to your addiction. Counselling can be very helpful to realising you have choices about what you spend your time doing.
The Good News About Relapse
"Falling off the wagon" is not all bad. Most people who eventually succeed in quitting find that this can be their best learning experience. It can help you really pinpoint what your triggers are, what pushes your buttons, and ultimately, what lead to your moment of weakness.
So if you have woken up with a hangover for the first time in weeks, or otherwise partied in a way you shouldn't, think back over what lead up to it. Was it running into an old friend? Stressing about paying the bills? Feeling really pleased about your performance at work?
Whether it was that great drinking buddies feeling, escape from everyday hassles, or finding yourself in a celebratory mood, looking at what caused you to take that one drink or drug can help you prepare for next time, so you have a different way of handling it.
As long as you keep your long-term goal of getting clean and sober at the forefront of your mind, one mistake should not make you quit quitting.

The legal market for new grads is still sadder than a Sarah McLachlan ASPCA commercial. Job opportunities are still few and far between, and median salaries are taking a hit.
If you wanted to see all that sadness in one super-convenient graphic, we have you covered. Stick this on the wall of your law school dorm room.
Hopefully at one of those law schools where more than 50 percent of graduates land jobs….

I put this out side of my house and I'll think of ways I can do more,has anyone any ideas? I thought the crop circles will get peoples attention as they do not realise what they are like,they think they are done with planks!!!!!! or else they do not even seem to know about them!
Be there in your heart, find a group, google Shelly Yates 'Fire the Grid'
Thank you Kerrie

Nice one. Get people thinking.
Thanks Steven I am feeling a sense of urgency, this awakening is taking too long, I mean what are people doing besides 'BEING LOVE'? which is good and this is how it was supposed to work,the ripple affect, but it didn't! and time is an issue,people have no idea of what is going on and it will be too easy to fall into the trap of fear,I know we are anchoring the light in and I know that this is what is required to stabilise these energies, but I feel more need to awaken NOW!!!! I hope 11:11 will do that big time.
I feel this is why The Federation of Light made an attempt to show,but it failed and now it is plan B,but as they said they don't look at it as a failure, it woke up at lot of people and made them do some serious soul searching,I heard where this is a huge task and we volunteered to do another cycle until the next shift which is now, this is why we are going from 3rd dimension to 5th as the rest of our universe is already in 4th since the last cycle.
Yes I agree Kerrie. It seems strange that so much is happening in my own life both spiritually and physically yet I can see only small changes in people attitudes around me but no knowledge or understanding of what is happening. Hey! Is that a cat I just noticed on your shoulder? I love animals especially cats. Thats me, easily distracted.
Let me first start by making this bold, sarcastic statement, because I don't want you to even begin to think I'm being nice and respectful to the people this statement is being directed at: If any of you people can seriously view these incredibly complex and beautiful works of art, and then say that they were made with "stomping boards" and ropes, by a couple of whacky British farmers, then you are most definitely crazier than the infamous pair "Doug & Dave". If any of you have ever worked in a complex machine shop, then you will certainly get the idea on how all the many many crop circles were/are being done, from above Earth in their spacecraft. It's basically a remote controlled laser laythe, and although I may have the word laythe mis-spelled, you probably get the meaning. Rather than spending time making ridiculous accusations, and wasting time trying to figure out how they were made - spend some time researching the lettering etc and try to figure out the messages that are trying to be conveyed, because "they're" definitely trying to tell us something, but the majority of you people are just too dense, too scared, or too stupid to really get it! Unless you live in a cave, or under a rock, you must certainly be aware of the ever increasing number of sightings worldwide, even tho, on mainstream media, you rarely get a peep.
Start to get your minds around the facts - SOMETHING MAJOR IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, BUT DON'T BE AFRAID OR NERVOUS! BE HAPPY THAT FINALLY WE - THE HUMAN RACE - ARE ABOUT TO BE SET FREE, FROM THE BONDAGE AND SLAVERY, THE SO-CALLED ELITE HAS KEPT US IN FOR HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF YEARS. GET READY FOR A BEAUTIFUL NEW WORLD AND LIFE! "LET IT BE WRITTEN, LET IT BE DONE"!
Are such circles not a site to behold? Mankind ponders over their vastness and indeed the precision in which they are derived. And yet it is understood that these 'patterns' are much more than just visions of wonder. There are codes and analogies within them that are there for those who are of that nature to decipher and interpret. And indeed we would say such souls are doing their work unbeknown to many. We do not present them in order for them to be ridiculed as manmade misinterpretations and yet there are those who consider attempts to reproduce such works in order to fool those of your planet. We find this of amusement for anyone with any 'nouse' about them can instantly recognise the difference in structure from base level upwards.
I know White cloud has spoken of them a few years ago, but is it appropriate to tell us the reason behind them?
There are many reasons that shall presently unfold. In particular you are seeing in your minds eye the image of the 'dragon fly' circle that was presented earlier in a place of England. Although it may appear to many as a more complicated replica of such an insect of your planet we say to you that within the detailed account of each blade of grass is a magnetic field that is allowing energies to be released into your atmosphere. We would say also that these energies are sending out codes to your very planet. Codes that are received and understood. As if within their very vibration they are 'changing' polarities that need to be adjusted in order for certain vibrational frequencies to resonate with that which is necessary to enhance further developments to the ongoing plans of renewal upon planet earth. There shall indeed be many more of these occurring and in places that one would least expect. In situations where one would deem it impossible for such phenomena to occur and yet we say to you they shall. We would say also that they are 'signposts'.
Ok … for who? Because clearly your average bear can't find out in which direction they are pointing or what they are pointing too?
Yet they may not be signposts for the human race!
Upon your planet in these current days you are experiencing much that once would have been instantly denied and cast aside. So all we can offer you is to understand if you will, that what we may say to you in this particular day in this particular time may not be of clarity NOW, and yet we say without fail there will be a time when you would read back upon these words and giggle … as if to say 'it was written there all along'.
It will also be recognised that there is a pattern TO these circles. By this we mean differently than the pattern OF these circles. As more and more are presented to you on a much more regular basis it will become apparent that they tell a story … one leading on from the other … and yet until a certain amount are visible the story cannot begin. We say to you … they DO make sense.
They are formed from a blue print if you like. The speed in which they 'arrive' baffles your scientists and men of the land. Why are they never seen whilst in their creational moment? How is it they suddenly appear? For us it is simple. The 'ground work' is done 'off the ground'. It is then a matter of magnetic energy more or less instantaneously 'pulling 'everything' into place. Every blade of grass, every 'ear of corn' is in harmony with our desires. They bend and mould themselves at our bequest. They are in tune with us and vice versa. These circles are designed to impose upon your inquisitive behaviour as well as many other data specifics that are encoded within. As we say, to each given offering there are many 'points' to its point of being there.
This is what a lot of people say Grant yet I am being guided otherwise,
June 7th 2009
The Federation of Light ~Blossom Goodchild~
Greetings to you also dearest one. It is coming to the reasoning in these days ahead that there is a desire that beckons the soul self to create that which is thine to create. In other words we would gently persuade you to encounter within the deepest place of your heart self that which YOU KNOW to be the only way forward. We know you KNOW this to be Truth and Love. Yet we ask you to once again be of much diligence within this pathway that you walk upon. Yes, it is all well and indeed of goodness to 'allow' that which IS to guide you. To listen to your inner voice and to Trust All that IS. And yet we suggest now perhaps that you may desire to 'step up the pace' in which you are travelling. You are aware of the time lines that are predicted into that which lies only a few of your years hence. There is much to be done. And although there is much that IS being done and there is much pleasure because of it , we ask you now to look within and answer to the call that you will hear.
and through me more on timelines
Well I have been sleeping on and off all day, I feel you close or I am close, frequencies are full on, my breathing just went full on, do I write this down dear friends?
Know Kerrie that all is well, time lines are to present themselves in a way that will be understood, It is for you dear one to acknowledge yourself for who you are, this will help proceedings immensely, do not feel that you are letting the team down this can never be.The light is shinning bright dear one you are it be it, the time is now, be of Joy.
Thank you my love to you as always glad we are networking ,I liked that term you mentioned in the last channel,I don't feel like asking questions, I am over it my head is too full, I now know why Blossom doesn't go there.
Peace be with you Kerrie
And also with you, I am so grateful for all that you are doing Bless you bless me All is well

I know that voice - hi Janet - thank you for releasing the magic!
Can someone please scrap that dreadful caged trailer for kids ....
Misty plastic windows well above seated eye level.
Low level trailer with bales down the centre would be far more exciting.
If H&S is a problem ... perhaps Billy Butlin could help out.

Despite inclement weather Saturday morning, almost 700 students proved they valued education by attending the Advanced Placement (AP) Student Conference at Ben Davis High School.
Students from Ben Davis, Speedway, Pike, and Westfield high schools participated in the conference, which started at 8:30 a.m. The conference is offered through the Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Program in Indiana (AP-TIP IN). The AP-TIP IN program is administered by the University of Notre Dame's Institute for Educational Initiatives.
Bryan Passwater, representing Notre Dame as the program's statewide math content director, said the program was started when the National Math and Science Initiative realized the need for more STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education.
"The National Math and Science Initiative about seven years ago ran this program and they had six pilot states across the country — Indiana was not one of them," Passwater said. "They give these states five years of funding and after five years the states should be finding their own funding sources through private local companies. The program was a huge success. They got more kids in AP classes and they had a ton of more kids passing AP exams. Because of the success that those six states had — the pioneer states — they added Indiana two years ago."
Passwater said the program in Indiana started out in nine high schools the first year and has added 11 this year, with Ben Davis being one of them.
"We focus on math, science and English," he said. "It's a STEM initiative, but we have to have writing skills obviously to do that."
The conference plays out basically like a typical school day and provides students with an opportunity to get extra education in any of those areas.
"It's geared specifically toward AP topics that will help get you ready for the AP exam," Passwater said. "(The students) get a big schedule. There are math, science, English presenters here from all over the country … The kids look at the schedules and they can see different topics. There are six periods, 55 minutes each. They can basically look at where their weaknesses are. We give them the topics the week before."

3.88/5 rDev -3.5%
Got a pint of this from Maia Restaurant in Villanova, PA.
A: Pours a deep, red/amber body with a small, off-white head with ok retention and some lacing.
S: A sweet, malty smell with hints of ginger and some orange zest.
T: A roasted toffee, malty taste with some slight ginger notes that were pretty complimenting.
M: A medium-bodied and pretty crisp mouthfeel that was pretty nice on the palette.
D: A nice mouthfeel and taste combination. A fairly good Christmas beer with some interesting spices.

3.95/5 rDev -1.7%
A- pours a chesnut color with a little head
S- Houston, we have spices! cinnamon, nutmeg, a little orange spice, a little clove
T- smooth overall, the aroma is evident during the first few sips, refreshing with just the right amount of carbonation
M- creamy but not overly malty
D- I really dug it and will reach for this again
never really dove into Xmas beers before, but this year it has been pretty enjoyable for me

4.22/5 rDev +5%
On tap at Teresa's Next Door.
A-A hazy amber brown with a thin, creamy white head. Nice retention and lacing.
S-Very nice. Caramel malt and fall/winter spices.
T-A very nice surprise. Spices right up front and all the way through, in a really nice balance with each other and with the malt. I am not usually a big fan of spiced beers but this one gets it just right. Nutmeg, cinnamon with a hint of clove. I have seen beers described as "pumpkin pie in a glass" but this is the first time I've tasted it. Maybe that's not how they want their Christmas Ale described, exactly, but I mean it as a high compliment.
D-Two would probably be my limit as there's only so much spice I can take in my beer. But I'd enjoy them both.

The liner notes to Brian Eno's Music for Airports (1978) act as a veritable Ambient Manifesto, outlining the philosophy of a genre he developed as an alternative to Muzak, and other background fluff. In the final sentence, he asserted, "Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting." By that count, Eno's solo Warp debut, LUX, is his most successful foray into ambient territory in quite some time.
A fluid composition presented in four parts, LUX recalls the aesthetic consistency of other protracted works (namely 1985's Thursday Afternoon and 1993's Neroli) while employing the broader tonal palette, and diversified instrumentation (guitar, bass, piano and violin, united by lingering, electronic drones) that defined his Ambient 1-4 series.
The result is a remarkably versatile album, shapeless and unobtrusive enough to float in the background and shade the atmosphere, yet dynamic and mutative enough to reward the scrutiny of active listening. Surely, Eno has a number of stronger albums under his belt, but never has he explored the grey area between "ignorable" and "interesting" so delicately.
Pretty section of content. I just stumbled upon your website and in accession capital to assert that
I get in fact enjoyed account your blog posts. Anyway I will be subscribing to your feeds and even I achievement you

Right here is the perfect website for anybody who wishes

You certainly put a new spin on a subject that has been discussed for ages.
Excellent stuff, just excellent!
I know this web page provides quality depending articles and
extra stuff, is there any other web page which offers
such data in quality?
wonderful points altogether, you simply received a new reader.
What would you recommend about your publish that you

Thanks…..I guess they need to get it right the first time because there's no quick adjustments….Such as, "Oh, oh…A huge cliff….Put on the brakes…." 14 minutes later you see a shot looking up at the cliff as the rover is stuck in a crevice it can't get out of….

14 minutes currently. But to be precise, it's anywhere between 4.3 and 21 minutes, depending on orbits. The distance between the planets constantly change because they orbit the sun at different rates. (man probably knows this, but tundrabeast may not) Mars is currently getting farther away from Earth at a rate of several miles per second.

Methods That One Could Ensure Your Affiliate Marketing Endeavor Is Effective
Keeping current with industry trends can help to boost your business. If you don't keep up with the news in your field and the techniques your competitors are using to gain an advantage, it's easy to fall behind. Partner up with affiliates that will provide you with resources to help you sell their products. Affiliate companies know what they're doing. They take great care to actively research the most effective types of marketing. The best companies provide the affiliates with this information, so that they can sell and earn more commissions. Don't worry about sorting through article after article. Now that you've read this article, you know everything you need to move forward in affiliate marketing. While there are many tips out there, the ones listed here are among the most essential and will give you some of the most impressive results.
Look for companies that provide 2 Tier affiliate commission programs. This is a great source of passive income for you. The 2 Tier program will earn you money if a customer you referred ends up selling the product themselves. You will earn a commission based on the product they sell. In comparison to other marketing ventures in the rapidly changing online world, affiliate marketing is the time-honored grandfather of them all. The history of affiliate marketing proves how effective and profitable it can be. If you know where to look, you are going to find a wealth of information on affiliate marketing. From beginner to established affiliate marketer, the tips below will help you to hone and tweak your strategies for even greater success! Choosing a pay-per-sale affiliate plan can pose some risks. It can, on the other hand, lead to very good money if everything works as planned. Look into how the affiliate performs for others and how well the product would fit your site, and make a careful decision.
Use a reliable tracking system. Using an affiliate's tracking system exclusively could cause mistakes with sales, and you will be left without recourse. Save yourself the disappointment and hassle by finding a trustworthy tracking service and using it constantly. The service will cost you money but it will save you money and stress in the long run.
Be honest to your readers and disclose your affiliations. Readers know an affiliate ad when they see one, and they will appreciate your honesty. It'll make them feel better about supporting you by using your referral link. Furthermore, honesty is important in generating a loyal reader base that will continue to generate money in the future. One of the best ways to gain interest in affiliate marketing and develop the tools of the trade is to acquire motivation through reading articles of success. This will allow you to generate your ceiling if you maximize your potential. Proper motivational tactics are necessary when you enter a new field. You can create a special affiliates-only website if you want to sell more products. If your affiliate program can be presented as strong and professional, you will find it easier to increase the amount of affiliates you represent. If your site is search engine optimized well, then you'll draw plenty of positive attention to both yourself and your affiliates.

(11/06/13) - After a close race for city council, political newcomer Wantwaz Davis will take over the 5th ward seat from incumbent Bernard Lawler.
This is Davis' first taste of politics, and in many ways, the beginning of a new life.
"I knocked on every door, I talked to everybody from the east side, from the west side, from the south side and north side and people love to have a face to a name and I gave it to them," he said.
That name, however, comes with a criminal background.
In 1991, at age 17, Davis committed murder. He admitted killing the person he says raped his mom.
Wantwaz says it wasn't the first time she had been sexually assaulted.
"This happened a year after my mother gave a courageous confession to me and told me that I was the product of a rape. My mother had me when she was 14 years old, so when this happened to my mother again, it took my mother back 17 years of healing," he said.
Shortly after the killing, Wantwaz turned himself in. He plead guilty to second degree murder and spent nearly 19 years in prison.
He went behind bars with a seventh grade education, but he launched an effort to improve himself.
"I got to college, I graduate next year in communications and then I'm going to go to U of M next year for Political Science and then I aspire to go to law school," he said.
Wantwaz hopes his story will help change Flint's story. He has a long list of ideas to help reform a city that has long been one of the most violent in the country.
"This is how we solve problems. When you send somebody who actually knows what goes on, who understands the constitution of the way they think with the intentions of changing it because when they see that your life came from one point and is now in a better point, it gives hope and inspiration," he said.

Bum-chums: An Xpress Review by Guys' Underwear Blog
By Jeff
Christmas arrived early at my home at this year when a box filled with an assortment of Bum-chum products was delivered. This British company, which ships all over the world, is dedicated to creating fun and funky designs, crafted to improve the appearance of your backside. And who doesn't want a better looking butt?
So here's a sampling of their products that I tried:
In2cooler – These sexy, low-rise briefs are in a category all their own. They're great looking, comfortable underwear, but what makes them truly unique is that the front pouch and strip of fabric running up the middle of the back-side are transparent and offer "ventilation" to keep you cool on a hot day. These aren't for shy guys; they're for guys who are confident enough have their manhood be seen by others (either that special someone or the entire locker room at the gym)…or for guys who just enjoy knowing that what they have on under their jeans is very revealing. Personally, I found these to be fun and sexy. They come in three color combinations where the main fabric is either blue, red or white…and the transparent fabric is always black.
Black Sneak Peek Hip-Brief – For those seeking something more revealing than the In2cooler Range, the Sneak Peek Hip-Brief is for you! These briefs are made entirely from transparent material. Other than that distinguishing feature, they offer the same high level of pouch and rear support of other Bum-chum products.
Fruity Cheeky Cherry Jock – While I'm not a fan of the name of this jock, I do like the product. Jocks tend to be comfortable and sexy and this one definitely matches that description. The pouch is a red stretchy material, which offers a great contrast to the 1-inch thick black waistband and white straps. If you like jock straps, give this one a try!
Fruity Lemon Lush Swimwear – Get noticed at the beach with this yellow, low-rise brief-style bathing suit! It's entirely yellow, offers an internal draw-string and is designed to sculpt your backside. Also, the pouch is double layered both for support and so you don't have to worry about it becoming transparent when wet. These are a great choice for fans of brief-style swimwear. (Also available in red, blue, plum and pink)
Terra-Firmer Hipster – Well, this is another first for me. When I saw them in the package, I was a little leery about trying on metallic lycra underwear. But I found the cut to be flattering all around and liked the support in both the front and rear. The fabric isn't as comfortable as the other Bum-chum products I tried, but these are truly unique and fun. Again, this underwear will get you noticed.
Black Cotton/Lycra Hipster – This is the most mainstream of their product offerings and probably the pair I'll get the most use out of. They're solid black hipsters that sculpt the form of my backside and provide comfort and support in the front as well. These are great for every day wear.
My final verdict: Bum-chums offers some of the most unique underwear and swimwear I've tried. They offer something for everyone and their products will definitely get you noticed.
|Style and look?
|A variety of styles from jocks and things to hipsters.
|Suitable for?
|That's a great thing about Bum-chums. They have some items that are suitable for bedroom-fun and others that are more for everyday use.
|Fit and quality?
|Great fit and construction.
|Is the price right?
|They range from about $25 -$30. But offer free worldwide shipping if you spend around $55. Considering the uniqueness of the products, they're well-priced.
|Best thing about it?
|The variety.
|Overall grade
|Buy it here

Guys in underwear – Bum Chums
Remember Bum Chums, the cheeky new (well, new to us) men's underwear brand that we introduced last week?
Maybe you were intrigued by their cute little video ad?
Well, our good friends over at Giggleberries sent over a bunch promo shots which definitely show that Bum Chums are all about fun and sexy designs.
This is a funky party/show-off underwear brand if we ever saw one, that's for sure. And who doesn't like to have fun in their undies – are we right?
I took a look around Bum Chums' website, and I like their attitude. Just listen to this, "Bum-Chums offer a place where a bum's owner can acquire stylish and comfortable accommodation for their long suffering curvaceous companions!"
Funny stuff.
A pair of Bum Chums is typically USD 25.
Bum Chums Men's Undies – cute video ad
Happy Friday, guys!
Giggleberries sent over this cute video ad for Bum Chums a while ago, and we thougt you might like it…
Here's what they had to say about Bum Chums:
Available at Giggleberries Men's Underwear, the Bum Chums Sneak Peak Collection is a glimpse, a hint, an enticing taste of what lies beneath. Made from a seductive and tempting sheer semi transparent fabric they are a tantalising titillation to whet the appetite and please the eye. It's a perfectly fitting preview for the main attraction! Take a Sneak Peak for yourself.
A tantalising titillation? Fancy, huh.
Anyway, enjoy the sneak "peek" :)

LEXINGTON, Ky. (5/10/13)— Nineteen schools in Kentucky made the 2013 list of America's Best High Schools, including Lafayette at No. 1,488 and Henry Clay at No. 1,904.
Each year, Newsweek and The Daily Beast analyze the nation's high schools with an eye toward finding the ones that best prepare students for college. The 2013 list ranked 2,000 public high schools based on graduation rates, participation in college-level classes via Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs, and acceptance into a two- or four-year college. All the data was self-reported for the 2011-2012 academic year.

NASHVILLE (AP) - The Agriculture Department has announced more than $4 million in grants and loans for four rural development projects in Tennessee.
The projects include a $1 million loan to help expand a manufacturing plant in Selmer, a $2 million loan to build a manufacturing plant in New Tazewell, a $1.36 million loan to turn the old Carthage General Hospital into an assisted living facility and a $42,000 grant to build a regional farmers market in Brownsville.
All of the loans are for 10-year terms at zero interest.
Deputy Undersecretary for Rural Development Doug O'Brien announced the awards on Thursday. The Tennessee loans and grants are part of a larger package of rural development projects across the country totaling $17.6 million.

A prominent expert in real estate and finance law, Professor David Reiss recently spoke to Reuters about the Federal Reserve's newest promise to maintain low interest rates on investments. This pledge impacts investors who may be concerned about the safety of their bonds, especially mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, whose futures remain unclear. Regardless of potential changes, older bonds will still be safe, said Professor Reiss: "The government would not change the rules of the game for securities purchased with the guarantee."

Top 5 Reasons to be a Girl Scout
January, 2014
There are plenty of reasons to be a Girl Scout - and there's still time to join us for an exciting year! Here are our top five reasons to become a Girl Scout (and a sneak peek at some of the fun you can have when you join)!
1. Make New Friends
Girl Scouts is a fun opportunity to meet other girls just like you! Whether you decide to join a troop or participate in Girl Scouts as a Juliette, you'll find lots of other girls who are interested in the same things as you, like camping or earning technology badges. You'll also make new friends at Community, Region or Council-wide events - friends who you can explore new interests with, like sailing or horseback riding!
Our favorite thing about Girl Scouting is seeing emails and hearing stories from troops who joined as Daisies and are now Ambassadors, celebrating their final year together. Not only have these girls formed a bond over Girl Scouts; they're best friends and get back together from time to time to reminisce about that camp out where it poured all weekend or the time their troop sold 5,000 boxes of cookies. Girl Scouts helps girls make friends for life.
2. Camping
Going to camp is one of the first things people think of when they hear "Girl Scouts" - and for good reason! GSSJC has 10 fantastic camp properties for girls to visit and explore. Whether you're canoeing at Camp Agnes Arnold in Conroe, horseback riding at Camp Myra S. Pryor in Nada or enjoying the salty summer breeze during resident camp at Camp Casa Mare on Galveston Bay, there's a little something for everyone.
In addition to going camping, GSSJC also offers program activities like nature hikes, archery, horseback riding and more that girls can enjoy without having to spend the night at camp. During the summer, Camps Arnold, Misty Meadows and Casa Mare all serve as resident camps, each featuring more than 20 different sessions where girls will not only earn badge requirements, they'll also learn valuable life skills such as leadership and independence. There's plenty of ways for girls to enjoy the great outdoors, learn a new skill and make a few new friends.
3. Girl Scout Cookies
Oh, Girl Scout Cookies - how we love you! But there's so much more to it than simply buying a box of Thin Mints from the adorable Brownie neighbor. When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, they are learning five valuable skills they will carry with them for the rest of their lives: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. Did you know 80% of female entrepreneurs were once Girl Scouts? We're betting most of them learned how to start a successful business from their experience in Girl Scouts.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program also gives girls a chance to earn funds for activities. Sixteen percent of each box sold goes right back to the troop, and the remaining funds stays within the local council. By participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls can earn funds for their next troop camping weekend - or they might choose to dream big and save it for a European excursion after the troop graduates from high school. It's completely up to the girls!
4. Travel the World
Girl Scouts can take you places! In addition to using troop funds earned from product sales to go on trips and see the rest of your state, country or world, Girl Scouts also have the chance to travel the world through an exciting program called destinations. Once girls are in junior high and high school, they are eligible to apply for this travel program.
Whether traveling to a state they've never visited or traveling to an exciting new country like Iceland, Costa Rica or even India, girls have the chance to see the world well before they go to college and have the option to study abroad. Each destinations trip has some aspect of community service, so not only are girls getting to see the world - they are literally making it a better place.
5. Scholarship & Career Opportunities
The highest award a Girl Scout can receive is the Gold Award. This prestigious award is earned by less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouting, and it holds some major power! It signifies a girl has successfully answered the call to "Go Gold" and marks her as an accomplished member of society.
In addition to achieving the pinnacle of success in Girl Scouts, a girl who earns this award is also eligible for scholarships exclusive to Gold Award recipients. She may enter the military at a higher rank in recognition of their accomplishment, and she is one of a handful of women who can include this impressive achievement on their resume for the rest of her life.

Colwall on top of the table
2:59pm Thursday 26th June 2014 in Sport
COLWALL moved to the top of Worcestershire Cricket League Division One after a narrow two-wicket success over fellow high-fliers Pedmore.
A fine all-round display from South African Wehan Joubert was instrumental in their success ahead of Saturday's visit to lowly Redditch.
The spinner snared 6-56 as, assisted by Max Backhouse (3-50), he played a major role in bowling Pedmore out for 227. Then, with Colwall on 107-7, Joubert's 47 stabilised the innings.
There was still work to do when he was dismissed at 178-8 but Frederick Coleman (48 not out) and Jon Gooch (19 not out) guided Colwall home.
Second-from-bottom Bromyard continued to struggle in Division One after a 21-run home loss to Redditch, despite 46 runs and 5-78 from Ahmed Jamal and 71 from Ash Bullock. They visit Pershore on Saturday.
Malvern, who host Enville on Saturday (1pm), are in a similar position in Division Two after losing by four wickets at Coombs Wood.
They were dismissed for 182 with Andy Cullen (72) top-scoring and Wood replied with 183-6.
Meanwhile, Colwall also lead Second XI Division One and their thirds top Division Eight.

Supplied photo courtesy of Cape Fear Community College�
Cape Fear Community College marine tech students will depart on Monday, Sept. 9, for their first voyage on the R/V Cape Hatteras, a 135-foot research vessel purchased last spring.
R/V Cape Hatteras leaves port Sept.9�
In March, Cape Fear Community College purchased a 135-foot research vessel, the R/V Cape Hatteras, from the National Science Foundation for $900,000.�
�That was equipment money that we got from the state,� said Jason Rogers, chair of CFCC�s marine technology department. Formerly, the boat was operated by the Duke/University of North Carolina Oceanographic Consortium.
The vessel will be used primarily by CFCC�s marine tech students, who must spend a total of 32 days at sea before they graduate from the two-year program. The Cape Hatteras replaced the R/V Dan Moore, a ship the college had used for more than 30 years.
�The Dan Moore was a converted fishing trawler. It really wasn�t built for research,� Rogers said.
The Cape Hatteras, however, was designed for research.�
�We�ve got a ton of equipment � scientific instrumentation � that came with the sale,� Rogers said.
Though the Cape Hatteras can carry the same number of students the Dan Moore carried, its living conditions have been a dramatic improvement. On the Dan Moore, 17 students stayed in two bunkrooms, one for males and one for females. The Cape Hatteras sleeps two students per berth, and four students share a head.
This fall, CFCC students will take their first voyages on the Cape Hatteras, departing on Monday, Sept. 9.�
�It�ll be four days at sea without a port,� Rogers said. He plans to use the time at sea to teach freshmen skills like biological sampling.�
�We�ll drag plankton nets. We�ll drag trawls,� he said.
The four-day voyages will be a chance for the new students to become acclimated to life at sea. �Many of them have never been out of the sight of land,� Rogers said. He will also teach the students how to react in emergency situations, such as fire or �man overboard� scenarios.
Marine technology students take a total of four trips, one each semester, before they graduate. Past trips included Beaufort, N.C., Charleston,S.C., and Baltimore, Md.
Perhaps the most memorable excursion is an eight-day cruise to the Bahamas that students take during their final semester. When students aren�t working on the boat, they enjoy outdoor leisure activities, like snorkeling and scuba diving.
Harrison Hall, a second-year CFCC student from Highlands, N.C., enjoys the marine tech department�s field work.�
�It�s really different from any other program I�ve done,� Hall said. He earned an associate of science degree before enrolling in marine tech classes.
Aside from the rigorous field work, the amount of skills the students master is another unique aspect of the marine tech program. Individuals learn how to use and maintain equipment, such as physical and chemical measuring instruments, electronic navigation devices and water sampling instruments.

For anyone trying to crack the 3 in any marathon anywhere in the world
Guess another apology due from me for absence. In defence I've been in Asia since November, as some of you will know.
Good news I'm still running, despite getting my shoes nicked a month back. Bought some cheap fakes which so far haven't wrecked me and I'm still training. Doing masses of swimming though too so much bulkier arm muscles. TR, Padams and some other tri's will appreciate that. Doubt it will make a diddly squat of difference to my marathon time.
I'm building up to one. Just don't know which yet. Maybe Abingdon, might be something else in the summer. Nearly entered the Chiang Mai, Thailand one on a whim but had food poisoning.
Sad sad story about Claire Squires using DMAA. The tragedy is that as we know on here you don't need anything to do a great marathon time except good training and courage. And some beers, of course
Will start reading back. May return to the UK soon so will be trading runs up hills and along beaches for bliddy freezing conditions. Not sure if I'm mad, but missing England ... and my gf!
p.s. One of my former pupils has just done a 4 am UK run. I've messaged him to say he's suitably nuts and therefore now a proper runner.
HR - I saw that on the news this morning about Claire Squires. They should force everyone in the UK to watch that "Do sports drinks work?" programme, or whatever it was called. Good to hear you're still running (and expensive trainers are pointless).
Pursuits last night was really tough with the wind, but must be good training. Covered around 0.5M less in the 45 minute effort than my best, so fairly pleased with that considering the conditions.
You don't need to read much of the RW forums to realise that there are plenty who'll follow whatever the latest fad is, whether it's gear, clothes, shoes or 'supplements'. If they're legal nobody worries about it. Triathletes are even worse!
Intervals yesterday all seemed to be into the wind, although looking back at the splits it's very obvious one of them had it behind me. Swim today I think, before my long run tomorrow.
Padams - force em to watch the programme and then close down every scumbag that makes a living out of peddling myths and lies to clueless runners. (That programme is still on iPlayer I notice.)
Yesterday morning I ran past the ubiquitous trio of '30 something' women runners, each carrying their little wrap around drink bottle to prevent the deadly threat of dehydration which is ever present on their three mile winter runs. Makes me angry.
LD - I haven't read Noakes but I thought that an hour before was too early for coffee,thought you had to drink it in the last 30 mins before otherwise the effect would be wearing off. Am I wrong?
Simonx9 - I don't take anything with me on long runs, do them mainly before breakfast and just have some water to drink beforehand. Like LD says you don't need water even in the summer. I've only done 2 marathons but I didn't have anything in my first one, just sipped some water and then had a bit of lucozade and 2 gels in my second. Main reason for taking in some fuel was in the hope that I'd recover more quickly which I did but it may have been because I was better trained rather than down to fuel. Am undecided about whether I will take on any fuel this time, if I do then I will practise on a couple of long runs.
OS - I've never fallen off a treadmill but I don't like running on them as I always feel I could do if I don't concentrate. Haven't run on one for ages as I much prefer running outside. Your work gym sounds great, is it quite common in Switzerland to have a decent work gym?
This week has gone 5, 6 on Monday; 4, 10 on Tuesday and then 15 yesterday. Yesterday's 15 was the first one I've done on the road for ages and was a lot quicker than I've been doing them off road. Went to the pub to watch the football last night and am unbvelievably hungover this morning, haven't felt like this for ages.
Agree what sort of c@nt would spend (half) a lifetime peddling that cr@p and be able to sleep at night? (Hi Dan.) If you were ever in any doubt as to profiteering being the main driver then surely 'Powerade Zero - the zero calorie sports drink' made the pennies drop. I mean FFS what sort of world do we live in when people buy that BS and consequently buy that BS. When was indepenedent thinking outlawed? Mind you that's the same world where bottled water is more expensive per litre (if you buy the heavily marketed stuff instead of Asda's council range) than petrol but it's the petrol price that gets people's goat.Anyway I did some running in January.As you were.
Dids: it's pointless but if it's part of a routine that gets them running don't suppose it is doing any harm.
As opposed to drinking on a run, I do try to drink plenty of water during the day which comes from having read P&D Advanced Marathoning (only running book I've read), they suggest that if not hydrated then blood volume's lower thus less oxygen gets to your muscles so they can't work as hard. Have they over-egged this?
top idea, how about drinking petrol on a long run, to save money ?
still reckon my 4 word book would sum it all up !
Padams - top pursuiting on a windy evening.
TR wrote (see)
top idea, how about drinking petrol on a long run, to save money ?
Let's sack off Brendan Foster and get Hugh Porter on commentary to spice things up a bit. "And here's man-mountain TR, the Hampshire hot-rocket, storming down the Embankment, beginning to stoke up the after-burners!... He's on FIRE!! Actually he really is on fire, er, oh..."
I distracted some of my work colleagues laughing at some of the comments on this page, mostly because they are true. Running is great, but has a major downside to many people that there isn't really any stuff to buy, and beyond a very low level of knowledge there isn't much to it: if pushed I could do it in one page, with lots of space for chartsengrafs, rather than four. That said what folks choose to buy (eg pointless beverages, tops telling people how fast they once ran, etc) is harmless if it adds to their interest and gets them out the door.
I am unconvinced by the killer drink. What we have is an association, with n=1. I wonder what else the unfortunate lady did that day that could be latched on to as the cause? Were there more deaths in endurance events over the time that the product in question was available?
LJ. I am lucky/ unlucky enough to work for a very big company, and it has what is probably the best equipped and manged gym I have ever seen. That said in general Switzerland has a huge range of sports facilities almost all of which are excellent. I think the reason the Swiss aren't strong in many global sports is that most people do several sports rather than one, as they would in the UK.
Simonx9 - I tend to do my long run without gels or water, although there are exceptions. If I'm doing hard sections I might take a gel, or if I know that I've not eaten particularly well the day or two before (doesn't happen often) I might take a gel with me. I disagree with the point about not needing water even in summer. If it's hot (again, doesn't happen often), I've got a 1.5l camelbak that I'll take out with me. My understanding is that training while carb-depleted will get your body better practiced at burning fat for fuel, running while dehydrated or to the point of dehydration is pointless.
TR - Diesel, unleaded or super unleaded?
Oh yeah, fuel... on my first marathon I was venturing into the unknown and as a precaution (and believing all the horror stories about "The Wall") used to head out with my Batman utility belt full of Lucozade Sport and a pouch full of jelly babies. The last time I took any fuel on the run was during Summer, training for a September marathon, and that was mainly for hydration. This time round I've been happy enough going up to 24 miles (including 7M @ MP) off just a morning coffee and a banana before leaving the house.
I don't fully understand the physiology of sugar uptake on the run but I do know that when I'm tired and a little dehydrated, the feeling of a cold, sugary drink hitting the back of the throat is very pleasant indeed, and definitely gives me a boost. At the end of the day, all mental and physical phenomena are experienced "in your head" so on race day I will be calling on course-provided water and sugary drinks to help me round.
TR - if I don't schedule build-up races I get lazy. At least this way I know I'll get my finger out a couple of times during the build-up.
But CRAB, surely Powerade Zero and their ilk contain important electrolytes and stuff that's as essential to running as breathing? Next you'll be telling me that built-up trainers cause injuries and that it's NFRS.........
If I use water during runs I use the Asda council brand (marketing opportunity there if ever there was one surely? ), but typically all my running is done sans eau. Maybe I should switch to expensive water that will hydrate me in a better way?

P&D use physiological data to back up their statements and in this instance it is LD that is talking a "sort of bollocks". It's been proven that dehydration impairs performance and it's also been shown that the most likely mechanism underlying this impairment is a reduction in cardiac output and therefore, as P&D suggest, less oxygen getting to your muscles. Think you'd be well advised to read more P&D and less LD
Like many others, I don't take any gels/drinks on any of my long runs including 20+ milers that include chunks at MP, just a strong coffee before I set off. That said, I do take 2-3 gels during a marathon to try and guard against becoming glycogen-depleted before the end of the race.
I have experimented running 12 miles hard (including a steep hill) with and without water in summer. Running with a little water (500ml) made the pace easier to hold and I recovered faster. I have not done this test often enough to make it scientific and it might be more psychological, but to me it made a difference. Oh and at least it did not come from a book, I tried it myself to see how it worked for me
Don't know about the physiology, but this is what works for me
Training runs - no liquids or gels. Easy for London when most long runs are done in the cold.
Marathon - 750ml PSP (day before), 750ml PSP (3hrs before), 1 energy bar (1.5 hr before), 1 gel at 10M and another at 20M, sip of water/orange stuff every mile. I have never found myself running out of energy or bonking. Training partner ran his 2:19 PB after eating a bag of jelly babies on the start line.
Marmite - to add a little clarification. Obviously dehydration impairs performance. Like a man on the point of death in the desert isn't going to set any PBs for the 10K for example. The bollocks aspect is bringing dehydration into a book at all. If the book said "best have a drink every now and again if it's a hot day and your piss smells of Sugar Puffs, otherwise don't get hung up about it" that's fine.
When it gets to the point that people are sitting at work, drinking lots solely because of what they've read - then they've gone too far.
Some odd attitudes towards water intake on here.....

You have to have a subscription to MLB.TV, but the PS3 download is free. I have my PS3 hooked up to my widescreen TV and so was expecting it to look...well, like something being streamed over the internet, but it's really smooth and the picture is incredibly sharp. It's not quite HD, but it's pretty close. This will likely become even more valuable as the Cubs games available to those of us not in the Greater Chicago area become more and more of a rare phenomenon.

Fires like the one off West 22nd Court in Panama City make up a larger number of calls than Fire Chief Wayne Watts would like to see.
"Generally you are probably looking at anywhere from 16 to maybe 20%," said Watts.
That is the percentage of fires that result from arsonists like the one Monday night.
"Fire was definitely in the attic and under the house when we arrived," said Battalion Chief Gary Swearingen. "It was fully involved when we arrived."
Firefighters started to grow suspicious of the blaze because just fifteen minutes earlier they were blocks away putting out a small porch fire.
"We were able to knock it down pretty quickly and contain the damage to the front porch," said Chief Watts.
According to arrest reports 43-year-old Everett Anthony Tate of Panama City was arrested for setting the two fires. For firefighters, repeat arsonists like Tate add a new level of danger to an already risky situation.
"The reason that arson is more dangerous than a standard house fire is, depending upon the motive for the arson, some arsonists actually make holes in the floors so that firefighters then come into the building and fall through them and get injured."
And depending on the arsonists tactics their handy work can be detected immediately. An arson is something first responders are trained to see.
"There are certain types of burn patterns," said Watts. "There are certain flame and smoke colors and different things like that."
Thankfully no firefighters were injured in this particular incident. The fire is still under investigation by the State Fire Marshals Office.

linguistically diverse student body.
