Stubb: Russia needs to be linked more closely to Europe
Foreign Minister says he would not go to Beijing Olympics "under these circumstances"
Alexander Stubb
print this
Finland's Minister for Foreign Affairs
Alexander Stubb
(Nat. Coalition Party) says that his personal goal is to link Russia more closely to the European system. He does not believe that Russia will ever become a member of the European Union, because he feels that two great powers will not fit into one union.
"I believe in a free trade area, in which goods would move between Russia and the EU without tariffs. The closer the relations that are established, the more solid the dependency", Stubb emphasised at a lunch on Tuesday of the Association of Political Journalists.
Stubb feels that Finland should not try to become a bridge builder - of the kind that can fall into the river. Instead, he feels that policy toward Russia needs to be dealt with through the European Union. He saw his own lack of experience in relations with Russia as a small hazard, but emphasised the competence of his advisors and the expertise of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
"I am the generation for whom there has been a Russia. I remember the Soviet Union mainly as a magnificent hockey team, with CCCP written on their shirts", Stubb said.
"I went to the eastern neighbour for the first time in the early 1980s with the hockey team of the City of Helsinki. I believe that my father
Göran Stubb
was the managing director of the team, and he warned me not to bring back vodka, because I was underage. I hid two bottles in a pair of knee protectors, and was the only one who didn't get caught", Stubb recalls.
Stubb did not take a direct stand
on the decision by Prime Minister
Matti Vanhanen
(Centre) to attend the opening of the Beijing Olympics. Stubb said that the matter had been discussed within the government.
"I am not going to the Olympics myself, but the primary reason is different - a wedding anniversary. If the situation would relax, and give a possibility for dialogue between Tibet and China, I might go. In this situation I would not necessarily go to Beijing", Stubb said.

December 6, 2002
Thomasville - A South Georgia physical therapist hits the pool hall and with practice and determination he ends up a regional winner. Now, he's shooting for a national championship title.
Herb Williams of Thomasville doesn't consider himself a pool shark. He laughs, "I think I'm pretty lucky." At 49-years-old his game is right on cue for a shot at the National Championship title in singles. Williams explains, "When I was growing up I played a lot of other sports, but didn't really play a lot of pool. I have been basically playing for about a year."
In that year, Williams won the American Pool Players Association Regional Eight Ball Classic. He says, "Just before the tournament in Orlando, a month or two before that, something clicked in my game. Don't really know what it was."
Every player is assigned a handicap which will determine your skilled level. Two is the lowest and seven is the highest. Williams is somewhere in the middle at skilled level of four. He says, "The better players, the sevens, they can look at a table and see every shot and every pattern, know exactly what they'll do with each and every ball."
Williams never thought he had a shot at winning at a regional level, much less at a national level. He says, "If I win It's gonna be a miracle."
It's not an easy shot, but looking at his pattern of sinking balls in the pocket, he has a solid chance.
Williams will leave for Las Vegas to compete in the National Championship Tournament in April.
His league is in Tallahassee, Florida because Southwest Georgia does not have a league. He plans on starting one up in the near future.

comes with a blue neoprene-like foam for humidification. it does the job easily for smokes on the go, but is tricky to keep a sustained and consistent humidity. i use one of Boveda's small size humipaks and it holds the reading consistently. i had used duct tape to hold the bottom on (where the humidifier foam is seated), as it just slips in, not threaded. can easily inadvertently open in luggage.gtrisfun in honolulu, HI November 9, 2012

A Tutorial Video on "How To Create Tutorial Videos" – Using Pro Tools, Quicktime, and a Behringer Xenyx 302 USB mixer
Getting set up to create these "screen capture" style tutorial videos was a pain in the interface. It might seem simple in comparison to dealing with 24 channels of audio inputs and multiple interfaces when tracking a band recording, but it was a special challenge! There are a lot of screen capture programs for mac out there, but most of them could get me tapped into the audio output of Pro Tools successfully. That was the trick… I needed to have another mixer "above" (so to speak) all the other audio involved in creating the video that would capture a stereo mix of the audio involved, and record it with the video. First, the completed video:
Sure, I could have used an additional recorder, independent of the computer I am working on, but that would add several steps more to the process. Continue reading


text: Hey everyone. I'm back with more new customizing goodness for you. I bring two new customs from one of my favorite franchises ever, Aliens. I have a custom Bat Alien designed after the character from the SNES Alien Vs. Predator game from the early 90′s, repainted with a more traditional Xenomorph color scheme (props to Jin Saotome for the recipe). I also have a custom of the Colonial Marine Smart Gun operator Drake! He's based off of the look of the old 90′s Kenner action figure. You might remember a while back when I did a custom updating the design of the Kenner Sgt. Apone figure. Well, Drake is a continuation of that series. And yes, I definitely plan to update more. Just click on the pictures below to lead you to the corresponding page, where you can read the full descriptions for how I made the Bat Alien and Drake customs, as well as view the entire gallery of pictures.

In the Trenches: Reviewing 2013, Planning for 2014
The year 2013 is in the books and, as always, I've looked back to see how we did. Was it a good year? Indeed it was! But the results have set a challenge for us in 2014: This is the year we focus on revenue growth while keeping costs under control.
It took me a couple of days to reconcile our financials and make sure the reports were correct. I printed out an income statement and then began analyzing the results.
On the
surface, our 2013 financials looked great. Our annual revenue was up 34 percent over 2012, and that's all organic growth. (I still haven't done any paid marketing.) But it was a different story on the cost side: Our expenses were up 104 percent.
That would probably set off alarm bells for many businesses, but I had anticipated it: At the beginning of 2012, I had no employees. By the end of 2013, I had one full-time staffer (who stepped into a bigger role mid-year) and two part-timers. Their salaries and related taxes made up the bulk of our cost increases. I couldn't handle the growing workload myself — and didn't want to. I'd planned to have less of me and more of others involved in day-to-day operations, even if that meant cutting into profits.
As a result, of course, income was down. And no one ever likes to see that. So, our challenge in 2014 is to grow revenues without creating any major cost increases. We now have the capacity to do more work — and that's great. I'm also interested in pursuing higher-margin business to complement our existing customer base. There are a lot of opportunities in that area, and I think our 2014 year-end review will be a good one.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'll talk about those possibilities in a future post.

Select Industry
For 40 Years: One Product Line, From Lucite® Lacquer to Sontara®
Since he first picked up a spray gun in 1967, Delmar Lambert has sworn by one line of products: DuPont Refinish.
"They've just been the best," he says. "They never gave me any problems and I always got good service from DuPont. Years ago I tried a couple of other brands, but they just weren't as user friendly."
It was only natural, then, that when he opened Delmar's Body Shop in Staunton, Va. in 1983, he installed the DuPont Refinish line.
Over the years, the shop has benefited from the continuous improvement that is integral to the DuPont offering. "I like the fact that you can guarantee a paint job now for the life of the car," he says. "We couldn't do that in the days of Lucite® lacquer and Dulux®."
His high regard for DuPont Refinish products has been passed along to his son, Dennis, who has handled most of the painting in the 10-person shop since 1984. With fast-drying ChromaPremier® products, the shop is turning out 15-18 repairs a week.
Delmar himself has not picked up a spray gun in more than 12 years, but he manages the shop and makes sure it has the latest from DuPont. He particularly likes a product that was introduced a few years ago – the Sontara® Surface Preparation System. The shop uses the Solvent Blend Pre-sat Wipes (PS-3990S), Static Reduction Wipes (PS-3995S) and the Solvent Wash & Dry Cloth (E-4143). To round out the job, technicians use Sontara®
Maintenance Wipes (E-4601) for window cleaning and general cleanup.
Delmar says the shop switched to DuPont™ Sontara® wipes a number of years ago. "The wipes we had been using frayed really easily. There were lint problems, too, which we don't have with Sontara®."
Delmar views Sontara® wipes as an insurance policy. "If you don't have to go back and re-do just one job, they pay for themselves. We never get any fish eye problems with Sontara®. Dollar for dollar, they're the best wipes in the business."
Dennis Lambert, the shop's senior painter, is especially enthusiastic about Sontara® static control wipes. "Static is terrible here in Virginia in winter," he says. "The static control wipes help us avoid the problems dry weather causes when you're doing bumpers."
DuPont Refinish Account Representative Jettie E. Hooker is a fan of Delmar's Body Shop. "They do everything right, from start to finish," he says. Jettie calls Delmar's "one of the most highly regarded body shops in the Shenandoah Valley."
Another important part of the shop's team is Dean Stum, who represents Delmar's jobber, E&M Auto Paint & Supply Co. of Harrisonburg. "Dean seems to know just when we'll need more of one thing or another and makes sure we get it right on time," says Delmar.
Dean calls on nearly 40 body shops and reports that, like Delmar's, the vast majority use Sontara® wipes. "The product sells itself," he says.
For more information, or to order DuPont™ Sontara® Surface Preparation System products, call Customer Support at 1-800-338-7668.

Every year comes the RRSP season. Advertisements will be bombarded your way until we reach the RRSP deadline and I wanted to discuss how to best best maximize your RRSP. "Maximize" being the key work here and not "optimize" – that's for another post. I had an interesting discussion with my dad about RRSP over the holidays around the benefits of RRSP and it's all about 2 things: how you use your tax credit and the tax free growth. Lets review those 2 critical benefits for a clear understanding on how to maximize your RRSP contributions.
RRSP Tax Credit
The RRSP tax credit is simple in that all your RRSP contributions (up to your maximum) provides you with a tax credit at the end of the tax year. Here are a couple of examples for 2 different incomes.
|With RRSP
|Without RRSP
|With RRSP
|Without RRSP
|Taxable Income
|Taxes (BC)
|Disposable Income
|Paid Taxes
|Tax Refund
You'll notice that for the same amount, the higher the tax bracket, the higher the tax credit is. It's one of the reasons why you may want to reserve your contributions for when you are in a higher tax bracket.
What the scenarios outlined is that you get a tax break when you contribute to your RRSP but what it doesn't show is what you do with the tax break and this is where you can truly maximize your RRSP. If you usually see your tax break as a gift, I would strongly suggest your reconsider because the tax man intends to collect it later on when you withdraw funds from your RRSP. Although it can be used to pay for your car insurance, home insurance or your trip to a sunny destination, it's actually much better to re-invest it The age old dilema is whether you invest it (TFSA anyone?) or pay down your mortgage. Both options can offer the power of compound growth. My personal take is if you are early in your mortgage, pay down your mortgage for a little while, it will have a big impact over time. Otherwise, it's really your choice; one has a guaranteed rates and the other has a potential investment return rate. In either case, you will benefit greatly compared with paying for insurance or any other spending.
Let's look at some examples of what you can do with your tax refund.
RRSP Growth @ 4% for 25 years
I used the $120K example from the scenario above as it can be representative of a family income. As you can see, it takes hard work and a lot of savings to reach 1 million dollars. This example represents just the RRSP contribution and assumes you spend the tax refund.
RRSP Tax Refund invested in a TFSA
Same scenario as above but with the $4,070 tax refund invested in your TFSA. Little by little, your TFSA will grow. After 25 years, you would have $169,498. Not too bad if I may say. The growth is also simulated with a 4% annual compound growth which is probably conservative if you invest in equities. A good 10/10 dividend strategy should help you grow it faster due to the 10% growth in your dividends annually and you'd expect a company that can do that to also grow in value.
RRSP Tax Refund invested in your Mortgage
Here we apply the tax refund to your mortgage with a 3.5% rate (might not be realistic for 25 years but for immediate comparison it works). We apply the same $4,070 and you can see that you shave 6 years of your amortization for a total saving in payments of $18,864. For the last 6 years, you should really invest the tax refund to kick start your savings and you could reach $26,996 at 4% annual growth. If you are really good at not adjusting your life style once your mortgage is paid and you invest the same payments for the next 6 years with your tax refunds, you would have $144,161. That's still $25,000 short but it's possible with a strict budget and willpower.
The Mortgage + Tax Refund pays a total of $108,779 of interest total where as the default mortgage will pay $149,343. It's a nice saving but after 25 years, what do you have to show? No extra investment and no extra equity … Something to consider.
RRSP Tax Refund invested back in your RRSP
Dividend Ninja commented on the post and asked about this option which I had overlooked. Thanks to Ninja, you can now see what re-investing your refund does to your RRSP nest egg.
The total assets land at $673,387.11 – no small change. The tax refund re-invested allows the contributor to increase the tax refund which increases the amount invested in total. The RRSP value is the same as all the other scenario but the re-invested tax refund ends up higher than a TFSA in this scenario at $256,928.03 compared with $169,498.85. That's almost $100,000 greater.
If you compare investing your tax refund in your TFSA compared with accelerating your mortgage, you will notice that after 25 years, in both scenarios your mortgage will be paid with a possible clear winner depending on your ability to continue saving.
- With 25 years of TFSA contribution, your portfolio will have grown by an extra $169,498
- With extra mortgage payments, your portfolio will have by an extra $26, 996 (not taking into account the ~$1,500 per month possible investment form the mortgage payments)
- With extra mortgage payments and extra monthly payment in savings, your portfolio would have an extra $144,161
- With extra mortgage payments and extra half monthly payment in savings, your portfolio would have an extra $85,875
- With 25 years of RRSP re-invested tax refund, your portfolio will have grown by $256,928.03
RRSP Tax Free Growth
Tax free growth simply implies that your money can grow tax free but it's important to organize your investments to maximize the tax free benefit. If you just want to compare investments from a tax perspective, a buy and hold strategy of an equity may be better outside of an RRSP than inside since all you have to do is pay capital gains when you sell where as you would pay your marginal tax rate when you withdraw from your RRSP. Tax free growth also requires growth It's also quite important to understand which account you should use for different investments.
With the introduction of the TFSA, many now opt for a TFSA before a RRSP. Often time, it's because the tax refund is not put back to work. Dividend Ninja just reviewed the dilema of investing in your RRSP or TFSA first. If you don't maximize your tax refund, the TFSA wins in my book.
Spousal Contributions
For families, I am introducing another way to maximize your RRSP. ALWAYS have the higher income spouse make the contribution when you can since the higher income will receive the tax break. The tax refund can be quite nice. All you have to do is open a Spousal RRSP and contribute to it just like you would do for yours. Let's look at a scenario.
- Wife makes $90,000 with a marginal tax rate of 38.29%
- Husband makes $70,000 with a marginal tax rate of 29.70%
As you can see, there is almost 10% different in taxes. Assuming they each put $5,000, the individual tax refund is:
- $1,897 for the wife
- $1,485 for the husband
- A total of $3,382
Now if we let the wife take a $10,000 RRSP contribution, her tax refund would be of $3,522. That's an increase of $140 dollars. If you start increasing the RRSP contributions, the tax refund will also increase, especially if you change tax bracket.
I have to say that it was a bit of an eye opener to run the numbers. I actually quite like the idea of using my tax refund for my TFSA. I have been a big fan of the TFSA to the point that I have been doing that first and then my RRSP but I may just change and adjust to leverage my tax refund for my TFSA.
Readers: Are you surprised by the mortgage and TFSA comparison?

"I ordered my daughters birthday invitations from here for the 2nd year & just like the 1st time, they are so unique & beautiful!! Not only that, but they arrived almost a week ahead of the given delivery date!!! How amazing! This is definitely where I will always order from in the future. :)"
"This was a great card for my 2 children who were having a joint birthday party, but are NOT twins. The only negative thing was that the preprinted envelopes were very difficult to read because the font was so small and light. However, they were all delivered, so I guess the postman could read them!"
"The quality of the cardstock is excellent. The colors are bright and design beautiful. We took a picture of our son with his favorite Sesame Street characters to give away the theme of the party without actually sending a regular Sesame Street invitation. We ordered expedited shipping and invitations came in before the expected date. Overall great experience. I will definitely shop Tinyprints again!"
"Love the simple yet touch-of-whimsy design of this first birthday card. Chose these for my daughter's first birthday celebration. I loved the color scheme so much I decided to base her party off of it."
"I created a sweet 16 invitation using this card as my template. The designers at Tiny Prints worked with me to remove the original text for a quincerra and even took off some extra scrolls and curly qs because my daughter is more of an outdoorsy girl. It turned out so beautiful and we will treasure it for years to come in her scrapbook of the birthday. Thank you Tiny Prints!"

AUBURN, Ala. -
The Auburn soccer team picked up a 4-1 exhibition win on Saturday morning over the Atlanta Silverbacks of the W-League. Ashley Marks scored two goals and Katy Frierson had two assists as Auburn picked up its second exhibition win of the spring season.
Frierson assisted on a pair of first-half goals, serving a corner kick in the 10th minute that Lizzie Hamersly headed in for a quick 1-0 lead. Caitlin King scored 25 minutes later as Frierson served a ball from midfield over the top to King, who went 1v1 with the defender before finishing in the left corner from 10 yards out.
Marks scored the first of her two goals in the 52nd minute as Julie King served a ball from the left flank that Marks was able to two-touch to the back post from 10 yards out for the three goal lead. Marks capped the Auburn scoring in the 68th minute when she finished from inside the six during a scramble.
The Silverbacks avoided the shutout with a goal in the 79th minute off of a set play.
Auburn will close out its exhibition season this weekend in Orange Beach, playing three matches in two days. Auburn will face SEC foe LSU on Saturday at 7pm at the Orange Beach Soccer Complex before playing two on Sunday, April 19, the first against Columbus State at 12:30pm followed by a 2:30pm match against South Alabama.

Avocado, Spinach and Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich
No proper recipe posts in a few days, I apologize! That's because I've simply been busy and didn't have enough time to take, sit down and start writing. I've been trying to go on with my master's thesis that I'm writing at the moment and writing, looking for motivation, reading and ambiguous struggling with the topic have taken all my time during the past days (or better, months). In addition, I'm gonna turn 30 YEARS OLD on Friday! Holding a party for my friends is interrupting my thesis writing a little bit, cause I planned to cook a full table for the occasion - should take Thursday and Friday to prepare the stuff. I hope everything turns out good (not too many screw-ups in the kitchen for me!) and I can share the stuff with you here.
Talking about busy times, it's been less busy in the kitchen this week. Simple things are the best things, I like to say! Last time I blogged about grilled cheese sandwiches it was a similar situation: too much to do to concentrate properly on cooking, AND nothing in the fridge. At the moment we have a lot of things there, though. But not much energy to do something with them. I promise that later this week and next I'll blog at least about the best Indian food you can possibly prepare at home, some gnocchi 'n cheese and a continuity for my asparagus posts, asparagus pesto pasta.
But now, here's a quick recipe from always so great Tastespotting. I originally spotted it from Pinterest, and thought it's a slightly healthier option, with all that green, for us who love cheese (the more the better). I modified it slightly, to fit in what I had in the fridge.
Avocado, Spinach and Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich (for 2)
4 slices whole grain bread
1 ripe avocado, halved and sliced
big handful of baby spinach, washed and drained
2 tablespoons green pesto (I used store bought)
2 tablespoons Philadelphia cheese (or other cream cheese)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, finely grated
100g mozzarella cheese, shredded
a few leaves fresh basil
salt & black pepper to taste
olive oil, for frying
Spread one tablespoon of pesto on 2 slices of bread. Spread the remaining two bread slices with Philadelphia cheese.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses evenly on each four bread slices.
Spread half and half of the baby spinach on the bread slices with pesto. Top the cream cheese bread slices with sliced avocado. Finish with some fresh basil leaves, salt and pepper to your taste.
Press together one bread slice with pesto and spinach and one bread slice with cream cheese and avocado.
Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over low-medium heat. Add the sandwich to the pan and cook until bread is crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook the other side in a same way.

Czar's Blog....Alabama Sleeper!
This is on http://blogs.foxsports.com/NFL_Czar
There is also a very minimum blog about Wilf firiing Foley, but the most intresting part of the blog is written below:
Alabama sleeper
Even I know how unfair it is to post grades on NFL teams minutes after the draft ended. It makes more sense to judge each draft three years down the road when picks either materialize or not. I knocked Minnesota's trade and late second-round selection of Alabama State QB Tavares Jackson. Well, several clubs revealed this week that he was moving up the board. The kid has plenty of mobility and a very strong arm. "He's a two-year project,†said an AFC scout. "But our quarterbacks coach liked him so I went back and looked at five of his game tapes. I can see why the Vikings took him.â€Â
Hopefully the hype around Jackson becomes true. I think 2 years behind Brad J. might be just what this kid needs and hopefully he becomes the next Minnesota Vikings franchise QB.

Part Two of my look at why this WILL be an exciting off season for us Charger fans will take a look at the Free Agents the Chargers should target. As I said in the first article, this is a make or break year for AJ Smith and he knows it. This leads me to believe, no matter how much he says his strategy this year will not change, that he will be willing to make some moves.
Our biggest positional needs (in no particular order) are:1)LG (due to the retiring of Dielman), 2)SS (Gregory doesn't cut it, we need an enforcer back there with Weddle), 3)OLB (Phillips was much better as "the other guy" we need to have a pass rushing duo again), 4)NT (while Garay is good, our defense sorely misses a "Jamal").
Some "nice to have's" would be 1)Slot WR (the quick reliable type like Welker, Cruz) and 2)a RT (Clary is good but gets beat consistently by speed rushers).
Out of these 6 positions we must fill at least 3 with starters via FA if the front office is serious about making it deep into the playoffs this season. Now onto the targets!
Vincent Jackson - Bring him back. He is our game changer and leaves another big hole that we do not need right now if he goes. He said he would take a little less to stay in SD with Rivers so make this happen.
LG - Carl Nicks is most likely going to be receiving the Franchise tag from the Saints so he is out. Ben Grubbs is the next best FA Guard however a report on profootballtalk.com today is reporting that he has rejected the Ravens first offer and is looking for big money and with the number of quality guards in the Draft the big FA money should be saved for another position. Therefore my vote is for Vernon Carey. He is the 7th ranked FA Guard on walterfootball.com and after Nicks and Grubbs is the highest ranked FA without a history of injuries. He was formerly a OT that has been moved inside. He is massive at 6'5 340. He has only missed 5 games in the last 7 seasons, and according to walterfootball.com, last season he only allowed 3 sacks and only drew 1 penalty. The downsides here is he will be 31 years old when the season starts and he is relatively new to playing G. However that is also an upside, most of his experience is at RT where we also have a need. He has never allowed more than 5.5 sacks in a season, while Clary has only allowed less than 5.5 in a season once. (Those last few stats were taken from profootballweekly.com).
SS - Tyvon Branch would be choice number 1. He is the consensus best young safety FA this off season. He is a tackling machine who is athletic, rangy, and a smart football player. He doesn't have a history of injury. He isn't a liability in coverage. He isn't a ball hawk but that's not why we would be signing him, Weddle is our ball hawk and he lead all Safeties (including Ed Reed) in INTs last season. The only thing is it is yet to be determined if the Raiders are going to let him go, their top UFA's this season are 1) Branch and 1a) Bush. What increases his likelyhood of hitting the open market are the reports coming in that the Raiders are already $20 Mil over the cap. (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/28/raiders-have-to-dump-plenty-of-salary/). The other option worth the money would be Michael Griffen from the Titans. Griffen is more of a FS/SS hybrid. He is better in coverage than Branch with much better INT and PD totals, but is not the tackling machine that Branch is. Griffen will come a little cheaper than Branch and is not that much older. I think that he we would do well signing either of them but if we don't get either of them then we need to make SS a priority in the early rounds of the draft. And for those of you who are thinking it, LaRon Landry is too much of an injury risk especially with the emphasis the front office is going to put on injury history when looking at players this off season.
OLB - Mario Williams will only be had at a King's ransom, but will be worth every penny. I have never been a big supporter of going after the huge money FA's but I am all for taking Mario. He would instantly give our defense a massive boost. He is a young game changer who is one of the best players in the NFL at getting to the QB and shutting down his side of the backfield. He has limited experience in a 3-4 but showed in the first few games last year he can play OLB in the 3-4, and when looking at our 3-4 a lot of our formations are almost a 4-3 anyway. After Vincent Jackson, he should be priority 1. After him Cliff Avril from the Lions is a great pass rusher, but in my opinion not worth the massive amounts of money he will be seeking because he isn't the complete player Williams is. If we don't sign Mario then Draft Priority number 1 needs to be improving the pass rush, either by drafting the top OLB available or by drafting Dontari Poe then a pass rushing OLB in the 2nd/3rd, since a "Jamal" type player like Poe makes all the LB's jobs a million times easier.
NT - Paul Soliai from the dolphins is the "Jamal Williams" type NT our defense has missed for a few years now. When you look at the numbers Garay produces much more in the way of tackles and sacks than Soliai. But Soliai's impact cant be reflected in those numbers. He eats blockers like a hungry hungry hippo eats those white plastic balls. He makes all the other in the box defenders better by lowering the number of offensive linemen they have to deal with. He will draw double and triple teams with his size (6'4 355) and strength. This will benefit our young ILBs Mouton and Butler by lowering the number of blockers they have to deal with, and it will help our DEs and OLBs on the outside by ensuring either 1 on 1 situations or leaving no blockers to deal with at all. If we don't at least re-sign Garay we need Soliai or we need sign Mario and draft Poe who is just as big and even more athletic. A NT who can do what they do allows us to get away with having less talented players on the outside and in the secondary by allowing us to put more pressure on the QB.
RT and Slot WR- Clary is good but we need a true starter at RT. He gives up too many sacks, draws too many flags, and is routinely beat by speed rushers. There isn't much in FA at RT. Demetrius Bell from Buffalo is only 28 and a pretty good tackle but has a history of knee issues. Jeff Backus (33) and Kareem Mckenzie (34) are both getting old and Jeff Backus was worse than Clary in both sacks and penalties last season. Depth is always nice but this is most likely a position that will be addressed in the Draft with so many quality RT prospects and OGs, who project to be able to move to RT, available in the first few rounds. As for Slot WR, with all our other big holes this is kind of a luxury fill. If we re-sign Jackson our starting three at WR will be Jackson, Floyd and Brown which is pretty dang good esp with Gates at TE. But if we can grab a quick, dual threat guy like Eddie Royal for not too much money I think that would improve our team.
Next up: Draft Board for all 7 rounds, including projecting Comp picks and a possible trade down.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey's lieutenant
governor denies that Superstorm Sandy relief funding was withheld from a
severely flooded city because the mayor wouldn't sign off on a
politically connected real estate venture.
Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno (gwah-DOHN'-yo) says Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer's claim is "false" and "illogical."
Guadagno made her statement Monday at a Martin
Luther King Jr. Day event in Union Beach, the day before Gov. Chris
Christie's inaugural.
Zimmer said Saturday that she and Guadagno had a
conversation in May in which the lieutenant governor made it clear that
Hoboken's storm recovery funds hinged on Zimmer's approval of a
commercial development whose lawyer and lobbyist are close to the
On Sunday, Zimmer said the ultimatum was delivered on behalf of the governor, a possible 2016 GOP presidential candidate.

1. Will the controversies surrounding the Kansas ticket office, fundraising, and basketballers' fights with the football team affect the Jayhawks' play against Michigan State?
A. Uh, nevermind.
2. Does the Big Red have a legit chance against the Big Blue?
A. Jay Bilas sure thinks so. So does my pal Larry in Boston. But he's a Cornell alum. Of course, the Ivy Leaguers have a shot. The only time the teams have played, Cornell ventured into Memorial Coliseum. It was December '66 and the scholar athletes dispatched Adolph Rupp's defending national runner-up Wildcats, 92-77. The Baron was not happy.
Then again Gregg Morris — he tallied 37, hitting 16/21 from the field — won't be hitting the hardwood in Syracuse.
But seriously, folks. Yes, I think Cornell has a legit shot at beating UK. They will not do so, I don't believe.
If Kentucky plays to even near its potential, Cornell won't beat them. Neither will any of the other 14 teams still hoping to cut the nets in Indy. Think about it. Kentucky starts four probable lottery selections. And there's another sitting on the bench at tip off. Only Florida's 04s — as best I can recall — came close to such a load of talent.
UK is also hungry. And just beginning to reach its peak.
But I love the match up. It will be fun to watch.
3. Is it my imagination, or have there been more late season injuries to key contenders this season than ever before?
A. Purdue's best player, Syracuse's center, Michigan State's major weapon and now West Virginia's point guard are all sidelined. While I can't empirically state the correct answer, I don't remember similar sets of circumstances in the past.
4. Okay then, how will those injuries affect the outcomes of games this weekend?
A. Truck Bryant's absence will not affect Bobby Huggs' Mountaineers against UDub. The Huskies winning streak ends tomorrow night. But it will make a difference on Saturday, especially if Jerry West U. plays Kentucky.
I think the absence of Arinze Onuaku will hurt the Orange against Butler. (But the scribes who have to keep checking to see if they've spelled his name correctly are most pleased.) I like the Hinkles in this one.
Kalin Lucas has been Michigan State's spark plug all season. Despite Tom Izzo's incredible record of coaching Sparty up come tourney time, this year's edition has been living on borrowed time. Lucas loss will be too much. Ali & the Panthers will advance to the Elite Eight.
Purdue continues to amaze, despite the loss of Robbie Hummel. The Boilermakers are playing stronger than a mug of beer with a shot of Jack dropped in. I don't think Hummel's absence has affected Purdue as much as we "experts" thought it would. Besides, if the Basketball Gods have any sense of decency, they will alleviate our Blue Devil misery before Saturday dawns.
5. Who you got in the College Basketball Invitational?
The semis are being played tonight (Wednesday) as I write this. First observation is that the HDNet color announcer assuredly has a secondary career as a Dick Cheney look alike. I keep expecting for him to start a rant against Obama.
Rick "Mr. Creosote" Majerus' Billiken's are up 9 on Princeton at the half. I think they'll hold on. Bill Bradley will not be on the hardwood in the 2d half. The winner gets Virginia Commonwealth in the best of three championship round. These folks know how to stretch out the excitement, don't they? No one and done for this title. I'll take VCU.
6. Who you got in the collegeinsider.com tourney?
Well, Creighton is playing Missouri State as I write in one semi. Can't seem to find the score anywhere on the dub dub dub. Pacific plays Appalachian State tomorrow night in the other semi.
I don't know why, but I just got a feeling it's the Blue Jays' year.
7. Seriously now, who you like in the Dance?
A. Kentucky makes it to Indy. Easily. None of the other three teams in the regional has enough to do it. I'm inclined to think Duke will win two this weekend also. On the other hand, Coach K's team hasn't impressed me all that much this season, despite the glossy record. I think they will do it, but this region is wide open.
So too, the West. Any team that lost to U of L twice has no business being odds on to win anything Except maybe the collegeinsider.com tourney. I have no idea who will win that region. Really.
Thad Matta's Buckeyes will beat Northern Iowa in the Midwest final. Which means I'll be able to wear my Hoopeston Area Cornjerkers t-shirt on Monday and regale friend and foe alike with the trivia that it's where Matta went to high school.
8. Would you really like to see four underdog schools make it to the Final Four?
A. Abso-friggin'-lutely!
It wouldn't be good for TV ratings. Non-fans would be heading to the cineplexes in droves to watch "Hot Tub Time Machine." And Domino's wouldn't have many people thinking, "Hey, maybe I'll try their new pie."
But I'd love it. St. Mary's vs. Cornell in one semi-final. Northern Iowa vs. Xavier in the other. Normally I wouldn't mind Butler making it. But the Bears would be playing in their home town. Not fair.
It wouldn't be in the spirit of underdoggerel that's been the hallmark of this year's tournament.

Boaters will flock to the lakes for the Memorial Day weekend, but some may be changing their habits because of higher gasoline prices.
The Boat Owners Association of the United States says some boaters are cutting back on their activities, making shorter and fewer trips, because of the high cost of fuel.
Some will go to the lake for a long weekend, rather than for a week. Others won't travel as far as in the past or make the trip to the other side of the lake.
They say some people have begun so-called "boat-pooling" orsharing rides on boats on fishing trips.
Meanwhile, marina operators are keeping an eye on fuel costs.Lakeside restaurants and other businesses along Lake Lanier, LakeAllatoona and West Point Lake rely on the boaters to survive.

Mazatlan Comedy ClubBy · Comments
Welcome to the inaugural season of the Mazatlan Comedy Club!
Once a month, from November to March, Hotel Playa Mazatlan & Vissual Taller Creativo will be presenting a highly entertaining night of Stand Up Comedy in the state of the art, Venados Showroom, featuring seasoned performers from throughout the United States. These comedians are some of the best in the business and have all appeared on prime time tv shows and the most famous comedy clubs in the world.
The U.S. State Department gives approval to MazatlanBy · Comments
During a visit to Mazatlan by the General Consul of the Consulate of the United States in Hermosillo, John Tavenner recognized that although Sinaloa retains a travel alert to its American citizens, Mazatlan is kept outside this recommendation because of the good results that have been presented in the last three years.
In a private meeting with the Mayor of Mazatlan, Mr. Carlos Felton, Travenner said that the U.S. Consulate in Sinaloa estimated that there are about 10,000 Americans who enter and reside temporarily or permanently and the return cruise was due to all efforts made by the Local and Federal Government to change the situation in Mazatlan, improve and strengthen security and creating and improving tourist areas.
Notably John Travenner has served as Consul General from 2011, ending his management at the end of July.
The Internet travel agency Expedia placed Mazatlan in the Top Ten destinations in Mexico with increased demand for hotels packages, registering a growth of 200% between 2012 and 2013. This was announced by Pablo Castro, Marketing Director for Mexico and Central America in the frame of the Tourism Tianguis Mexico celebrated recently in Cancun, Quintana Roo.
This exponential growth is due to the excellent tourist promotion by tourism institutions and associations of hotels of the port, placing it as one of the most attractive destinations for travelers in northwest Mexico.
The Secretary of Tourism of Sinaloa, Francisco Cordova Celaya, in the frame of the Tourism Tianguis Mexico 2014 held in Cancun, Quintana Roo, reported that there is a real interest from tour operators in China and Taiwan to the north Sinaloa and the Copper Canyon circuit as a result of a familiarization trip they made in early May.
During the familiarization trip, Asian operators enjoyed the sea lions, the Farallon and Bird Island, the cultural wealth of magical town El Fuerte and the delicious cuisine of Sinaloa, ending the trip in the mountains of the Copper Canyon.
The Secretary Francisco Cordova said the importance and impact that would have this niche market for Sinaloa, as are travelers with high purchasing power and a large average overnight in the destinations they visit.
Following the interest shown, the Ministry of Tourism will be working together to attract this type of visitor to other regions of Mexico, tracing an attractive route: Copper Canyon-Sinaloa-Los Cabos.
In a breakfast provided by the delegation of Sinaloa in the Tourism Tianguis of Mexico to more than 200 friends of Mazatlan where there are representatives of airlines, tour operators, travel agencies, wholesalers and media tourism, the Secretary of Tourism of the state, Francisco Cordova Celaya, said that from 2013 to 2014 Sinaloa tourism has experienced unprecedented growth, making today the first economic activity in the state, "Mazatlan, the crown jewel in Sinaloa, records the beginning a promising future and expect the best flow of tourists and investment".
For his part, the Director of Connectivity of the Association of Hotels and Tourism Companies, Gilberto Aviles Bazua argued that there is much optimism for this year to Mazatlan, where the challenge is to ensure that hotel occupancy is not only weekend, increase average stay and promote in the markets of U.S. and Canada more seats for the destination.
The event was attended by representatives of companies that have pushed for years tourism port, among which are: Delta Air Lines, Sun Country, Expedia, WestJet, Orbitz, U.S. Airways, Sunwing, among others.
Images of Mazatlan are transmitted in JapanBy · Comments
Thanks to the National Convention Nikkei 2014 that was celebrated in Mazatlan from 1 to 4 May to commemorate the 400th anniversary of diplomatic and trade relations between Mexico and Japan, the beautiful port of Mazatlan was placed before the eyes of the world through the television company NHK (Nippon Hoso Kyoku) considered one of the most important brands in Japan, since it aired a special report of Mazatlan on the ocassion of the convention.
During the video, viewers did a tour for the activities that took place during the event, showing small fragments and scenes in the Convention Center and Hotel Playa Mazatlan, as well as the appearance of Esperanza Kasuga and other Japanese personalities.
Also, on the website of NHK images showing the closeness between Sinaloa and the Japanese culture, represented in a dance on the beach, mixing the Deer Dance with the Japanese tradition.
Hotel Playa Mazatlan extends sincere congratulations to Esperanza Kasuga who organized and coordinated one of the most important events that have taken place in Sinaloa.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Mayo Clinic Children's Center was awarded $250,000 by Hyundai Hope on Wheels on Tuesday.
Hyundai Hope on Wheels, a non-profit organization, will be donating more than $10 million to Pediatric Cancer Institutions nationwide in September.
Dr. Richard Bram accepted the check on behalf of the Children's Center. Dr. Bram and his colleagues are focusing their research on the CAML Interactor Protein found in Leukemia cells. Their research could help develop new treatments for pediatric cancer patients.
"This will actually make a big difference," said Dr. Bram. "We actually spend a fair amount of our time trying to get funding rather than doing the research so this really frees up our lab now to do the work that we want to do."
After the ceremony, patients were invited to paint their hand prints on a canvas and Dr. Bram's lab coat to commemorate their battles with cancer. September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Designed for high speed cutting and welding, FANUC America is the standard in laser welding robots. FANUC America' solutions offer the highest results in performance, repeatability and productivity, FANUC is the leading manufacturer of arc-welding, spot welding and laser processing robots. Six axis robotic arms are an effective addition, allowing them to reach the most confined spaces while still performing high speed welding with consistent path performance. The benefits of Laser Welding robots include:
With sealed bearings and drives and the integral utilities, including gas/air lines and a wire feed motor cable that is routed inside the robot arm, improved reliability is achieved.
Compatibility is also a hallmark of FANUC laser welding robots. FANUC laser welding robots are compatible with all major welding equipment brands. The arc welding laser robots offer intuitive control over their performance through the use of application specific hard keys. FANUC America have integrated and installed hundreds of systems throughout the world. Many manufacturers use more than one welding robot to decrease production time while adding a material handling robot to increase accuracy, and reduce costs per unit. These multiple welding robots can increase arc density while working closely together without interference. FANUC welding robot cells are designed to operate in confined spaces. This allows the welding robots to reach places where automation systems cannot effectively perform, as well as offering improved quality and effective consistency over manual welding.

Bromley public come together for lecture by News Shopper editor Andy Parkes
Updated 12:44pm Thursday 20th March 2014 in News By Patrick Grafton-Green, reporter
Bromley College staff, students and the general public came to hear a talk by News Shopper editor Andrew Parkes last Wednesday (March 12).
Andy, a journalist for 26 years and group managing editor for 15 south London newspapers and 11 websites, talked about his experiences of the good, bad and ugly sides of the newspaper world.
Speaking at Bromley College's campus in Rookery Lane, he said, due to staff cuts in newsrooms, reporters now attend fewer court proceedings, adding "this can threaten that most important principle, that justice is not only done, but is seen to be done".
He commented it can also lead to a general lack of understanding from the public as to what goes on in court.
The permanence of the internet was also discussed by Andy.
He explained how he is often asked to remove old news stories from the newspaper's website about people who, later on in life, find the articles detrimentally affect their employment and life prospects.
Andrew shared details of his own career, and gave an insight into what it takes to be a journalist in today's society.
Principal Sam Parrett said: "We were thrilled to welcome Andrew Parkes as our guest speaker at our sixth Landmark Lecture.
His informative and entertaining lecture gave the audience a real insight into the world of journalism and newspapers, raising some important questions on press regulation and the use of the internet in modern news reporting."
Bromley College's Landmark Lectures are a series of topical talks open to the public.
- GCSE results day: All the news and pictures
- Southeastern appoints new managing director with Thameslink Programme underway
- Hit-and-run leaves motorcyclist in hospital with leg injury
- Man rushed to hospital after Forest Hill stabbing
- No proper disabled access for eight months at Empire Cinema in Bromley

Hatersgonnahate says...
Wasn't he invited by the college? The story gives the impression he was on some sort of 'journalist tour' & how lucky the college was to be graced by his presence.
It centres more on his elborated achievements rather than the purpose of the lectures.
Attending court rooms has had no bearing on publics perception of justice as the internet has made this information more freely available.
Did he expand on the NS's right wing ideology.
His constant attacks on firefighters?
His bizarre & most professional article about people with red hair being discriminated is a form of racism!
Did the college have to expand it's exits to allow his massive ego to leave?
Quite ironic that the article is attempting to promote professional journalisim yet is written in the most self centred ego tripping manner possible.

"NS's right wing ideology", I have to claim BS on that statement.
"His constant attacks on firefighters", and there we have your real grievance and agenda don't we ?

If anybody does seem to go a bit over the top it is Sam Parrett. Whilst I have no doubt that Andy gave an interesting lecture it's not as if he has been undercover in a war zone.

Them Booty of AFAMY12
A couple of weeks have passed since AFAMY12, I have yet to categorise my acquisitions from then due to so many happening in the period: Post AFA Syndrome aka minor fever x failure to readjust, slight depression, end of vacation leaves, social problems at work, laziness, etc. just to name a few…
Finally put aside all those 3rd world problems and gathered enough strength to properly unveil my loots (Still prefer the term acquisitions but otaku comrades have exclusively "trademarked" the term all around the globe referring to their purchases… ^^;)…
Now would you look at them booty, yohoho arrrrr matey! XDc
The Day After AFAMY12
Set on the last floor just across the Tokyo Street district of Pavilion, Danny-san organised the Culture:Japan Night after the end of AFAMY12.
The Japanese Restaurant just in front of the venue, Tonkatsu, provided us with bottomless green tea beverages and a timed sushi buffet or sort during the course of the night…
The Layers of AFAMY12
Cosplay is an integral part of an ACG event, AFAMY12 being no exception. Unlike the failure of meself that was AFA11, I was lucky to have caught many of them raburi raburi and incredible cosplaying comrades into my lens this time around, framing them into digital piccies… XDc
Unlike the Layers in Singapore who were mostly gathered just outside the main hall of their AFA counterpart, most of the Layers here at AFAMY12 were found within the confines of the exhibition hall, allowing me to not-so-discreetly hunt them all around the place without having to leave the comfort (?) of my post…
Featured above, this raburi raburi Misaka Mikoto of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun fame is actually an employee under the KKnM x Little Akiba collab booth! The kawaii part is when I asked her to find a Misaka Mikoto Nenpuchi her booth's selling, she mistook Musujime Awaki as one… ^o^;;;
Dojikko Mikoto is dojikko desu wa~! XDc
The Dreamy Dollfies of AFAMY12
Albeit still slight in the growth of the community, Volks Dollfie Dream 1/3 dolls see constant increase of popularity over the past few years, a straight evidence from during AFAX when KKnM was kind enough to sponsor a display booth welcoming visiting musume of InnovaDDo to join in…
In AFA11, the musume-tachi saw a much bigger exposure with several InnovaDDo banded up to secure a booth from the organisers…
This was also the 1st début of Tama-chan in an ACG event! XDc
The Commencement of AFAMY12
After a very exhausting arrival the day before, the time has come for me to truly enjoy this trip down South!
In the wee hours of the still morning covered in not-so-silent darkness, along with my buddies we rode the LRT towards our target of the day. Unfortunately the direct route to PWTC is still down since yesternite, thus with reluctance we retrace the alternate route we used and backtracked to the site…
It's only been about 0800 hours when we've reached PWTC and we've already saw a throng of comrades lining up to get their ticket for the day…
Seems like everyone's out to get a piece of Anime Festival Asia Malaysia 2012 themselves… XDc
The Setup of AFAMY12
A very early in the morning on the day before my first local pilgrimage, I headed towards the terminal on my island along with Tama-chan to catch a ride down South to the very site.
Nice breezy wind and clear weather ahead, I'm really lookin' forward to enjoy my ride to Malaysia's 1st ever Anime Festival Asia Malaysia 2012. Everything seems perfectly in order or so I thought…
Sticking to our original plan with minor changes of details, upon reaching Kuala Lumpur my buddies and I boarded the city's Light Railway Transit train towards the station decided beforehand to drop off our excess baggage to allow freedom of movement the rest of the day…
Here comes the 1st jinx of the day: We got onto the wrong train that takes us to another line, veering off course from our intended destination. Twice. ^^;
Fortunately we were able to undo our mistake by alighting at the next station upon realisation and took a returning train back to a previous point where the train line starts to split.
Packing Up for AFAMY12
Soon, very soon! It's only a day left until AFAMY12!!
Taking a day off today, Goshujin-sama and Tama-chan are currently packing our stuffs and baggage as we'll be leaving our beloved island first thing in tomorrow morning and head towards
Mud Estuary Kuala Lumpur for the mid-year event! X3c
Stage Events of AFAMY12
T-minus 5 days left until the most exciting event in Malaysia this year (Besides Comic Fiesta)…!!
The stage events of AFAMY12 is finally revealed via a couple of teaser videos~ :3c
The Night of Culture After AFAMY12
Once again, Danny Choo-san of Culture:Japan fame will organise a special after AFA gathering for like-minded comrades to interact and have fun with one another, just like how Tama-chan had fun during last year's AKB48 night… ^~^
Announced just a few hours earlier, the Culture Japan Night Malaysia is set to be held in Pavilion KL, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It is just some walk distance away from the nearest LRT station as well as the Puduraya Bus Terminal and KLCC… :3c
Plotting Course for AFAMY12
With less than a week's left, the officials of AFAMY12 finally starting to unveil more and more news of the big day itself!
Looks like my early arrival at Kuala Lumpur will not be as boring as I have once thought… :3c
The Smile of AFAMY12
Good Smile Company, one of the more widely recognised figure maker known to comrades around the world, will attend AFAMY12 as one of its main sponsor…
Expect rotsa new announcements of lovely Figma, Nendoroids and scaled figures at its own corner of display booths!!
The Card Fight of AFAMY12

Man Charged re Judge Grudge Phone Threats, But Pistol-Packing Jurist Is Ready for Action, If Needed
Posted Sep 5, 2012 12:33 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A Florida man who police say left multiple profanity-laden voicemails in July threatening to pistol-whip and kill a state court judge against whom he'd admittedly held a 12-year grudge has been tracked down, arrested and charged in a stalking and harassment case.
A uniformed, armed sheriff's officer protected 15th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Nelson E. Bailey after the threats. But the judge, who sits in the Belle Glade courthouse in Palm Beach County, tells the South Florida Sun-Sentinel he's ready to protect himself, if necessary, with the pistol he carries at all times.
"I carry a gun and I know how to use it," said the judge, who was a criminal defense lawyer before taking the bench in 1995.
An earlier Sun Sentinel story provides additional details about the arrest of Alan Lester Sokol, who is also charged with making harassing phone calls to others.
An arrest report says Sokol told police he was angry at the judge because Nelson raised his bail in a 2000 domestic violence case in which Sokol's mother was the alleged victim.

Authorities said a 56-year-old convicted murderer suspected of
improperly touching a 15-year-old girl in a sexual manner was arrested Tuesday
The Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office said Gary Foret,
also known as "Ace," of Bayou L'Ourse, is charged with indecent behavior
with a juvenile.
Deputies said the girl's father contacted them Saturday
to report his daughter had been sexually assaulted by a guy named "Ace"
after spending the night at his home.
They added the girl was supposed to spend the night at
a friend's house, but ended up sleeping at Foret's. Investigators reported she
was awoken by him as he was touching her.
Foret was booked into the Assumption Parish Detention
Center. Bond has not been set.
The investigation is ongoing.
Officials added Foret is currently on parole from a
conviction of second-degree murder in Jefferson Parish in 1975. They said he
was originally sentenced to life in prison, but it was commuted to 60 years. He
reportedly served about a third of that and was released.

Caption Diss: Pusha T Ridin' The Publicity Hype Or Lil Wayne Press?
Tuesday, Jun 5, 2012 12:45AM
For Caption Diss, the good ol' folks at SOHH are back at it giving y'all, my loyal doggies, a chance to capture the final word(s). The "Best We've Ever Read" headline gets to hold down that Cap Diss crown for a whole week. Who run it?
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
What ever happened to doggies going at one another with those direct name drops? Remember when Jay-Z put out "Takeover" and straight went after Nas' neck, which then got followed up by the infamous "Ether." Need help name-dropping? Just call up Game, he's always good for a guest feature or some ghostwriting. Even though I'm riding with Pusha T/G.O.O.D. Music in light of this whole Lil Wayne so-called "beef" the one thing you have to credit Weezy for is calling him out BY NAME on "Goulish." Sure, the diss has already fizzled out and nobody really remembers it, but he went at Pusha. 48 hours later? Pusha drops a music video for "Exodus 23:1" and is shown not only NOT calling out Lil Wayne but......sitting on the front of a bicycle? SMH.... I can't call it doggies, what exactly is going down right here? Hmmm.........................
LOL @25toLife! At the end of the day, we all like what Saigon is rapping about, more or less, in his music, but trying to get down with Rick Ross? LOL. Nah, leave all that righteousness at the door. LOL.
Aight doggies, let's cut out the small talk. Y'all know how we roll in here. Think 'em, diss 'em, ink 'em and submit 'em into the comments section by Monday, June 11th!

Ghosts of War: Bringing historic legacies to the present
What's the relationship between our history and our daily reality?
Each day we walk by our local store, our neighbor's place or the park, without realizing the stories from the past that existed in those same places many years before.
While we often think of history as antique, irrelevant and something out of the past, it can just as easily be intertwined with the present.
Imagine what it would look like if the ghosts of World War II came back to the streets today. That's what Dutch historian Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse shows through her Ghosts of War photo series.

Hidden Memorial: Honoring fallen heroes – Part 2
Recently, we wrote about the discovery of a memorial board - listing the names of 11 WWII servicemen - that had been hidden for 3o years in a communal building's basement.
Laurence Harris, MyHeritage's Head of Genealogy (UK), led a small team to quickly trace the living relatives of these men who were killed in action, to invite the relatives to a ceremony on Remembrance Sunday, in which the board was rededicated and their stories retold.
Over the next few weeks, we'll demonstrate how Laurence was able to do this, while sharing some of the stories of these unsung war heroes.

Hidden Memorial: Honoring fallen heroes
Our genealogy team love challenges – so imagine the reaction of Laurence Harris, MyHeritage's Head of Genealogy (UK), when he was shown a 66-year-old Memorial Board commemorating the names of Servicemen who had died in WWII.
The board had been hidden in a rarely-used storage area for more than 30 years.
The challenge was on! Laurence volunteered to trace living family members of the men so that they could be invited to a special service to remember and honor them and to rededicate the Board.
Laurence took this as both a personal and professional challenge. He recognized the importance of learning about these forgotten heroes of the past, enabling the present generation to honor them, and ensuring that their stories are preserved for future generations.
Along the way, he discovered many interesting stories. Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing with you some of these stories and explaining how Laurence managed to trace the descendants.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters there is still time to enter the new Wetland Wonders Challenge.
The Wetland Wonders Challenge continues through the close of the Allegan County Goose Management Unit season on Jan. 22. Hunters that visit at least four of the seven managed waterfowl hunting areas will be entered into a drawing to win one of seven ultimate waterfowl hunting prize packages.
The MWHAs include: Allegan State Game Area's Fennville Farm Unit Fish Point, Harsens Island, Muskegon County Wastewater Facility, Nayanquing Point, Pointe Mouillee and Shiawassee River.
Area managers report positive comments about the Wetland Wonders Challenge from hunters.
"The commemorative duck bands for each area that we are handing out have been very popular," said Brandy Dybas-Berger, Nayanquing Point area manager. "But the real excitement at the check station has been the great prizes that have been donated."
The DNR says seven impressive ultimate prize packages have been developed.
"All seven prize packages will be slightly different but equally amazing," said Barbara Avers, DNR waterfowl and wetland specialist.
Each of the seven winners will receive a Ducks Unlimited Remington 887 shotgun, a "golden ticket" good for one first-choice pick at a MWHA for the 2013-14 season (non-reserved), decoys and decoy bag, a call and lanyard, ammunition and gift cards.
Some ultimate prize packages will include guided duck hunts or taxidermy mounts from Naber's Taxidermy, Wildlife Reflection and Taxidermy by Dourlain. Freeway Sports Center has donated a 12-foot jon boat for one of the seven winners.
Avers continued, "This contest wouldn't be possible without the generosity of our sponsors."
Additional donors include Cabela's, Frank's Great Outdoors, Schupbach's, Safari Club International, Zink Calls, Ducks and Bucks, Flambeau, Lynch Mob Calls, Rig Em Right, Quacker Attacker, Waterfowl USA, Magnaport, Lake Effect and Saginaw Bay chapters of Michigan Duck Hunters Association, American Waterfowler, Fowl Pursuit, Fish Point Wildlife Association, Gibraltar Duck Hunters Association, Harsens Island Waterfowl Hunters Association, Joseph V. Demski, The Michigan Experience, Pointe Mouillee Waterfowl Festival, and Shiawassee Flats Citizens and Hunters Association.
Hunters are reminded that even if they visit at least one MWHA, they can enter to win several great consolation prizes. All winners will be selected on Feb. 15.
The DNR invites hunters to Explore Michigan's Wetland Wonders and experience the unique hunting opportunities available. For more information on the MWHAs (including location, drawing times, dates, and rules and regulations) and the Wetland Wonders Challenge contest (including the full list of contest sponsors, prize packages and terms and conditions), visit www.michigan.gov/wetlandwonders.
