Good 7.0
I grew up in the area, so the location has always been very convenient.
The room was freezing when we arrived. We figured it was part of their policy being that it was very warm in the area. The only other thing I can complain about is the bed wasn't too comfortable.The staff was very friendly, the breakfast area was neat, and the place was overall clean. Like I said, the only things that bothered me were the bed quality and the room being very cold upon arrival.
Okay 6.0
Newer property, nice bedding.
No fitness room.Overall a decent stay. Bedding was very good for a Super 8. This appears to be a very new property. Microwave and fridge in all rooms; king rooms have a recliner.

These 2 bookshelves i made a few jears ago, because i can´t find anything that fit in this narrow corridor. After i made the shelves itself, they looked boring, so i decided that i have to make a crowning. That was fun to build and it gives the project an older look.The finish is homemade wax and handpolishing. Apologize the bad pictures, but like i wrote before, this corridor is relativly narrow.

we have upgraded some license to 2014 ans still we have 7 network license of Revit 2013 BDS.
my Question is can i use Revit 2011,2012 product with this licenses??
Please help me
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes. If your 2014 is under Subscription then your 2014 license file will already be encoded for you to use any combination of your 7 seats as 2011-2014.
Thanks for your quick reply,
i wanna like to conformation from you that
we have total 12 BDS of 2014 which is upgraded. i know i use 2011-12-13 product with that 2014 products.
but we haven't upgraded 7 Revit 2013 BDS. so my que is can i use 2011-2012 product with that 2013 BDS licenses ??
kindly Hellp
If the 2013 is under Subscription, then yes. If not, then no.
Also, since there is a lot of cascading of licensing that crosses over between those suites, you will want to regenerate your 2013 file on the same date as your new 2014 file to properly combine.

Can you get a copy of their cocktail menu? It isn't on their crackinwildeggs site either.
I had a really, really lovely breakfast at Wild Eggs yesterday. That coupled with the many, many visitors turning up in Consuming Louisville's server logs looking for more info on Wild Eggs made me think it was time for another Wild Eggs post. Most Wild Eggs search visitors are specifically looking for the menu so I asked the Wild Eggs folks for a digital copy of the menu to post and they were very kind to oblige. So you can either download a PDF of the Wild Eggs menu or look at images of it after the jump.
The last time I wrote about Wild Eggs I noted that the "Violet You're Turning Violet" was a bit of a misnomer since the pancakes had so few blueberries in them. They have since rectified that situation. I ordered those same blueberry pancakes yesterday and that were overflowing with blueberries. One more menu note: I still totally recommend the everything muffin. I love it so.

It's good to know that even the most mundane roles, such as Sheer Terror and Absolutely Horrified can get you drafted and provide an opportunity to go pro. I'm going to drill these lessons into my sons in the hopes that one day, they will be able to hit the big time with such panic and exacerbation.

Lowkick Poll: Which former UFC Champ is most likely to win back his title?Posted on September 4, 2010, 06:08 PM by Daniel Cassidy
- 1. BJ Penn
- 2. Lyoto Machida
- 3. Matt Hughes
- 4. Frank Mir
- 5. Rashad Evans
- 6. Other
DabsSharp25Weak | 9Funny | 3Cool | 0
I voted Rashad...those that voted Penn did so based on emotion.
NinjaSharp15Weak | 3Funny | 1Cool | 0
Other - Vitor Belfort, he was once a UFC champ and I see him becoming one again, and also, hopefully Wand makes a legit title run and becomes one of the best fighters again
whiteySharp4Weak | 2Funny | 1Cool | 0
I agree, it's the easiest choice.
He is the only one on the list who is actually fighting for a title in the next fight. Shogun is coming off knee surgery (we saw how good he was against Forrest in the same situation).
TorontoUFCFunny7Weak | 6Cool | 2Sharp | 1
Leave me alone, I love Penn! he will come back!! =(
samboFunny6Sharp | 2Weak | 1Cool | 1
Other...Randy Couture at LHW
Mir will have a good chance in the future but not for a while. Eventually he will figure out how to beat 300 pound HW's.
YoMamaCool1Funny | 0Weak | 0Sharp | 0
I agree... He is the smartest fighter I have ever seen and I think he could do it. If anything I can hope huh! Lol
IGMBurninPiffSharp2Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
BUT, it doesn't say who will regain their belt 1rst, so the part about him being the only current number 1 contender. I do think he'll have a softened version of Shogun he's always had trouble coming back from a long layoff from injury. I voted other because my vote was for a Interim champ (Carwin) next fight he'll have better conditioning and won't finish himself off. I think in the 1rst round there was 2 occasions where it could have been stopped. next time it'll just be a K.O no need for a ref to decide!
UrHypeWeak4Funny | 1Sharp | 1Cool | 1
That poses a good question though, makes you think. I think Rashad will get hurt trying to take away Shogun's belt, same with Randy Couture and I like him also. Machida has the shogun fear now, hes done lol j/k Lyoto could surprise everyone who knows.
ianFunny12Weak | 4Sharp | 1Cool | 0
rashad with his 5 minute dry humping with no offense he does nowadays

Fights are 25 minutes, not 5, and I gave my vote to Machida, he's still a badass.
fights are 15 min if u watch ufc u would know that.. championship fights are 25 mins..
DaddyLongStrokesSharp7Weak | 5Funny | 0Cool | 0
Rashads chin is getting in his way of winning back the belt. BJ looks horrible but maybe if he trains hard instead of just saying he trains hard then he can get his belt back, but looks too despondent to come back. Seems like Matt Hughes is gonna retire soon, but hes looking good but not champ good. Frank Mir will always get pushed around by bigger guys. Never rooted for Machida but i think he logically has the best chance in my opinion
Joey SantosusSharp15Weak | 6Funny | 0Cool | 0
Rashad's chin huh? Hmmm.... You should look into that a little bit. Are you aware that he has only lost once in 17 fights? Sure he has stumbled a bit after being hit with big shots, but doesn't that actually prove his chin is decent? Many other fighters would have went to sleep.
DaddyLongStrokesWeak8Sharp | 5Funny | 0Cool | 0
i guess many other fighters have paper chins in your opinion. Rashads chin has been sort of exposed by fighters with serious knockout power by Rampage and Thiago Silva. Then the recent person with some power in his hands Machida. But Thiago was gassed and Rampage was tired and rusty and couldnt put Rashad away.....but its not like Rashad took them down while dazed or used good defense to prevent a knockout......Thiago Silva taunted because he was so gassed and Rampage was throwing punches that were missing its target somehow while Rashad was on the floor. Machida was the only one in shape and had kept busy fighting and he put away Rashad. If the Shogun that fought Machida for 5 rounds and then knocked Machida out in the first comes to fight then Rashad has little chance seeing how Rashad needs to avoid a good punch by Shogun. Plus Shogun is great off his back so Rashads tools are not going to cut it
griffinSharp6Weak | 4Cool | 2Funny | 0
rashad got seriously rocked by both silva and rampage but they were both too tired to finish. If shogun can learn some takedown defense he will rashad will get KTFO
Joey SantosusSharp3Weak | 1Funny | 0Cool | 0
Ok, you said yourself they have good "KO power." So yea they rocked him! Why didnt they knock him out? Oh wait... You had some reasons or another.
ChocolatSharp7Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
I agree with that, I hate when a guy gets ko'd once and suddenly their chin is weak, St-Pierre got tko'd 3 years ago are saying his chin is week, Kocheck can knock him out, Kocheck got knocked out just last year by a fighter who had never knocked out anyone, I'd be more worried about his chin than St-Pierre's.
DaddyLongStrokesWeak4Sharp | 1Funny | 0Cool | 0
solid reasons too...Rashad was lucky enough to not get knocked out by both. Im trying to persuade you that Shogun will squash Rashad because Shogun has endurance and cardio. In fact lets say Shogun beats Rashad then loses to someone else then Rashad works his way up somehow. That champion will be on top of his game enough not to let ring rust or cardio screw him over from rocking and knocking out Rashad. We all seen what happens when Rashad takes a punch or two while rocked, he falls down and looks like death and everyone on other websites shoop him and make fun of him =]
Joey SantosusSharp4Weak | 1Funny | 0Cool | 0
Ok, finish implies several follow-up punches.... Thats different than having a questionable chin : )
DaddyLongStrokesWeak5Sharp | 2Funny | 0Cool | 0
a good punch from Shogun for 5 rounds**** Also Shogun has a hell of a good chin too.
mmaukWeak5Sharp | 1Funny | 0Cool | 0
I would have voted for BJ Penn but my faith in him is not the same as it was. Rashad despite his conservative style still got tagged in his last two fights don't see how he'll avoid getting tko'd over 5 rounds with Shogun. Too many wrestlers + JDS for Mir to get that HW belt. no point even explaining why Matt Hughes won't. was gonna say Machida then I remembered i'll be rooting for Rampage so for me Rampage will get that belt somehow
nightmonkey17Weak6Sharp | 5Funny | 0Cool | 0
There's no way Rashad can beat Machida, and you fools know it.
newbreed07Sharp2Cool | 1Funny | 0Weak | 0
If Rashad actually tries to wrestle Machida instead of standing up with him like he did last time Rashad would have a good chance of winning. That why I voted for Evans he'll just do what GSP does and wrestle everyone he fights now because he knows that's his best chance and it works for the most part.
Joey SantosusSharp4Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Rashad is fighting Rua first, not Machida.....
newbreed07Sharp3Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Yeah I know but the statement was "There's no way Rashad can beat Machida" So I'm just responding to the post I'm not saying Evans is fighting Machida Im aware he fights Rua next.
Joey SantosusWeak4Sharp | 3Funny | 0Cool | 0
Right, and if he beats Rua then he reclaims the title whether he beats Machida or not... The poll asks who is most likely to reclaim his title. Thats why I thought you had it mixed up : )

Rampage eventually. He will get the belt back one day.

Tough call. BJ Penn needs to get his head on straight (no offense to the BJ fans out there) in his last fight he seems (to me) like there was something missing it was not the old BJ Penn. Lyoto is coming off an knee injury, but will see with his fight with Rampage I hope he is back to 100%. Matt Hughes is getting on in years so I think he need to kick the tiers and light the fire if he wants to get a shot at the title again and unfortunately it might not come this year. Mir ummmm so much potential but he has to get through some tough guys Carwin dominated him and have not seen him against Dos Santos nor Velasquez and this are some tough dudes. Evans will have to again prove himself against some very tough guys I mean yeah he beats Rampage but he (Rampage) looked like he had a lot of ring rust when he fought. I'm not sure but if Rua is injured then should there be a interim LHW title out there? Would that count as winning the title back?

I think all of them have a chance with the exception of Hughes. Rashad will be the first. In my opinion, Rua can not compete with a wrestler like Rashad. Penn could get his title back but I don't think he can get it from Edgar. There were a number of times when Edgar was in dangerous positions in BJ's guard and BJ was incapable of capitalizing. BJ has no answer (no pun intended) to Edgar's stand up. Machida is capable of beating any LHW on any given day including Rua. Mir needs to drill wrestling non stop for six months. If he does this he can be the champ again. Another name I would add in is Randy Couture. He can beat any UFC LHW or HW on any given day. He has one more title run left in him.

the dragon will beat rampage and then beat either evans/shogun.. but i hope its shogun rubber match and pay back is a bitch. u here me rua!
Voted Rashad. I think he will beat Shogun using his wrestling. Machida will get the belt back though.
Rashad for me aswell, now that he uses his boring wrestling based strategy
RicksonByArmbarSharp2Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Evans will hug his way to a dec win over Shogun regaining the title in the process :-(
mir got steamrolled in his fights against brock an shane i dont see any reason why that wouldnt happen again
hughes is on a good run but is 1-2 against the current champ gsp
shogun has got machidas ticket punched
bj penn is 0-2 against edgar if maynard can manage to take the belt then he may have a chance
so all that really leaves is rashad who in my opinion is a long shot but has the best possible chance to regain his title out of those mentioned
movescampWeak1Funny | 0Sharp | 0Cool | 0
Shogun would loose a rematch. If machida stays away like he should and uses the clentch to take shogun down over and over hewill exploit his weakness. He has very underated wrestling because it is sumo. He has beautiful takedowns and trips which use very little strength and all weight shift and leverage. He took shogun down at will and busted up his knee. If he did that over and over it would tire shogun out enough to submit or ground and pound. I bet we see him return to his ellusive style and include more takedowns. Remember he is very smart and humble so he will work on his holes. He has less to prove and won't try to go toe to toe again. His takedowns worked great and he is a great wrestler from the clentch. Look at him throw Tito sokojou shogun and trip his other opponents. I think this loss was his best motivation to evolve.
No chance to win back is title for Blow Job Penn ..
i voted machida only because i think rashad could beat shogun and machida would probably beat rashad
I voted Rashad. He's the only one who's next fight is a title shot and we don't know how Shogun's major knee surgery will affect him as his knee's have been part of his worste performances in the ring.

A recent letter to the editor about the bad effects of fluoride in drinking water overstated the writer�s case (�Good enough for public, but not the government,� March 4 by Maurice Anholt).
The Harvard study quoted demonstrating loss of IQ points in children was a metadata analysis of children in China, comparing areas where there is more (or less) fluoride added to the water. We don�t know any specifics about other factors in play. For example, in some areas of China, ships from Europe dump electronic waste and dead batteries on the shore, where it is disassembled by people who make their living selling wire and components. The water in those areas is extremely toxic with this waste. Attributing IQ deficits to fluoride in the water in some areas of China is not particularly meaningful to us in the U.S.
It is also important to remember that many, maybe even most, otherwise healthful vitamins and minerals can be detrimental or toxic in large quantities. We depend on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency for research and regulation to protect us from overdoses. I encourage people to read both sides of this issue, easy to do through Google and Wikipedia, before accepting anti-fluoride opinions at face value. Check out statements from sources such as the American Cancer Society and the National Kidney Foundation who have public health interests at heart.

Enter a location to find available office space
Established on 1st October 2012, Gryphon Property Partners provides personalised quality advice on office space in Central London.The partnership was established by former partners of Jones Lang LaSalle and BNP Paribas Real Estate, who set up the transactional and advisory firm in the old police station, which is a part of the 60 Gresham Street development.
In many respects, the firm's philosophy is encapsulated in its name and logo; a Gryphon being a name associated with the statues on key streets into the City of London, and a powerful mythical creature that is half Lion (King of the Beasts) and half Eagle (King of the Birds) and which due to its extraordinary powers, was used to protect things of value (e.g. property!).
Finding the right offices to let in London for your business can be like finding a needle in a haystack. With a wealth of choice in terms of style, size and location, we work with clients to make the process of identifying and renting office space as simple as possible.
Signing a new lease on a City office to let is an important decision that can make or break your business. We listen to your needs, analyse them, then match them to the ideal space. Our services include financial and functional benchmarking of short-listed options and negotiate on your behalf in respect of not just the financial terms but obligations under the lease such as dilapidations/repairing liabilities and warranties.
We can locate the best serviced offices London has available, then negotiate a competitive rate for your lease.
At Gryphon we are experts in:
The team consists of five partners, each renowned in their own particular sphere, and an office manager. Our small scale enables us to focus on client care, providing Partner level involvement in every deal.


text: At this point, most everyone on here agrees that taking any left over free agency receivers is a poor choice. While I would argue Jacoby Jones would be a safe bet and some competition for punt returner, I think defense is a good spot to shore up some spots. Andre Carter last of the NE patriots is available and yeah he's 33 but he looked like the best player on the pats defensive line last year until his injury (That sources say he's receovered from). It wouldn't hurt to have an experienced pass rusher. Then there's Drayton Florence, who was actually a fairly decent number 2 corner. I would hope Hogan progresses, but he'd be a solid back up on the cheap. Lastly Aubrayo Franklin isn't a bad NT. It's a what have you done for me lately league and well he hasn't done much, but that's our gain. He'd be cheap, he was good enough to be franchise tagged 2 years ago, and he's a better veteran force in the middle than Edwards (good dude but has never done much). This is my first post so lets try not to rip me a new one out of the gate. Go panthers

The fabric for the blazer was woven in England and is 100% pure new wool (340 g/m²). The term "blazer" stems from the crew of the British frigate, HMS Blazer, who were all kitted out with blue jackets with gold buttons for a visit by Queen Victoria in 1837. Nowadays, the blazer is a part of every man's basic wardrobe apparel. When worn with grey trousers it conveys a slightly more formal appearance than with the tweed jacket. For a more casual look, leave off the tie. Workmanship and style as for the tweed jacket. With gold-plated buttons.

Happy Friday to you South Jersey.
Yesterday the weather was, "calm, cool, and collected" and today we will see much of the same. High pressure just to our east will remain in control of our weather through Saturday before moving offshore. This means for us we will stay dry and comfortable for the day on Friday and for much of the day on Saturday. For Friday, expect light winds, ample sunshine and some high clouds. We have one more cool night in store; however, this should be slightly warmer than the past couple we've seen. Expect temperatures to stay in the low 60s for the overnight hours.Once we get into the day on Saturday we will begin to see more humidity creep in. We will be able to squeeze one more dry day out of the weather pattern, up until we see a slight change...
An area of low pressure developing along the Carolina coast, is expected to move across to the south of the region. As this system moves, moisture will be pushed northward. Showers are expected to creep into our area Saturday night and then into Sunday.High pressure will start to build in from the southwest around midweek and temperatures should start to rise to mid-August averages for us here in South Jersey.
Enjoy the dry, cool, suntastic weather while you can!
Until next time,
Meteorologist Sydney Daniel

Bill Murray has hit bottom in the first trailer for St. Vincent. A hedonistic war vet, Murray's Vincent is a cranky drunk who cavorts around with strippers and gets enraged at the slightest things. His bank account is overdrawn, he's got an unexplained head wound, and a massive tree branch just fell on his car.
But Oliver (newcomer Jaeden Lieberher), the young boy who's just moved in next door with his newly divorced mom (Melissa McCarthy), hardly notices all the vices and edges and starts to take to Vincent, and his mom agrees to let him look after Oliver for $11/hour. Predictably, Vincent's idea of babysitting is unconventional at best.

U.S. Supreme Court
Supreme Court Allows Lawsuit Alleging Mishandled 401(k)
Posted Feb 20, 2008 11:52 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Updated: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that an employee who says he lost $150,000 because of a mishandled 401(k) plan may sue the administrators for a breach of fiduciary duty, SCOTUSblog reports.
The Associated Press reports that the decision "has implications for 50 million workers with $2.7 trillion invested in 401(k) retirement plans."
James LaRue claims he lost the money because administrators twice failed to follow his direction to move the money to safer investments. At issue was whether the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ERISA allows damage lawsuits by individuals.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in Richmond, Va., had ruled that ERISA permits suits to enforce the rights of a whole plan rather than a single account holder. But the Supreme Court said one of its previous opinions that emphasized protecting the "entire plan" from fiduciary misconduct concerned the older, more traditional retirement plans that paid defined benefits based on a percentage of an employee's salary.
The new case, LaRue v. DeWolff, Boberg & Associates, concerned a 401(k), a defined contribution plan involving individual accounts, Justice John Paul Stevens said wrote in his opinion for the court (PDF posted by SCOTUSblog).
The prior opinion's "emphasis on protecting the 'entire plan' from fiduciary misconduct reflects the former landscape of employee benefit plans," Stevens wrote. "That landscape has changed."
In the new, more prevalent defined contributions plans, he wrote, "fiduciary misconduct need not threaten the solvency of the entire plan to reduce benefits below the amount that participants would otherwise receive."
The court therefore holds that ERISA "does authorize recovery for fiduciary breaches that impair the value of plan assets in a participant's individual account," he said.

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The owner of a Monterey Park retail store will spend a year in federal prison for the trafficking of DVDs with bogus trademarks of Dolby Laboratory Licensing Corp., a company responsible for sound quality in digital movies.
Jackie Weisheng Chen, 48, of Arcadia was sentenced late Monday by U.S. District Judge Gary A. Feess, who ordered the defendant to begin serving his prison term by Jan. 4, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Chen was the owner of Temia Media, which sold counterfeit movies from China, some of which were compilation disks featuring the Chinese and American movies starring such actors as Jet Li and Jackie Chan, federal prosecutors said. The case dates to the fall of 2010, when U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized three shipments destined for Tema containing nearly 5,000 DVDs with counterfeit Dolby trademarks, according to court papers.
After the third seizure and after two notices by CBP had failed to stop the unlawful conduct, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement obtained a search warrant for Tema Media and seized nearly 25,000 DVDs with counterfeit Dolby trademarks, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Despite the search and warnings about the counterfeit trademarks, Chen and an employee re-stocked store shelves and continued to sell the same DVDs with the same counterfeit Dolby trademarks, according to the government.
ICE agents then executed another search warrant at Tema and seized another 3,000 DVDs with counterfeit Dolby trademarks. Chen and employee Dong Qun "Melissa" Lin were arrested on the day of the second search.
Chen pleaded guilty in August 2011 to trafficking in counterfeit goods.
Lin, 43, was convicted last January of three counts of selling movies with counterfeit Dolby trademarks, as well as conspiring with Chen, and was sentenced to probation.

Pair held after 'wrong-way pursuit'
1:31pm Saturday 2nd June 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Two men have been arrested after a motorist drove the wrong way round the M25 in a police car chase.
The driver arrived on Britain's busiest motorway using an exit sliproad and travelled about six miles up the hard shoulder in the opposite direction of traffic.
The black Vauxhall Astra was not stopped until it left the road at the next junction.
Earlier, at around 4.40am, it is said to have failed to stop for police on the A22 in Godstone, Surrey and was then followed on to the M25 at junction six.
A Surrey Police spokesman said: "It continued travelling in the opposite direction to traffic on the hard shoulder while police units followed from the other side.
"The vehicle was subject to a stinger activation and was eventually brought to a halt on the M26 in Kent where the occupants decamped."
The two men, in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of failing to stop for police, dangerous driving, theft of a motor vehicle and possession of a class B drug with intent to supply.
One of the men was taken to a nearby hospital with a shoulder wound. The other is in police custody. No officers were injured.
Police are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the Vauxhall driving on the either the A22 or M25 to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to call the force's non-emergency 101 number, quoting reference TD/12/2410.

Students have a lot of stress at school, these days. It can be anything and everything, from homework to tests.
Unfortunately, some have experienced something much more painful. That's why bullying was the focus of a day-long summit in Des Moines that drew state and local leaders, and hundreds of students.
You've probably heard the details from someone you know.
"They would get into fights, they would threaten each other and stuff, and sometimes the teachers weren't even aware," said Celeste Charchalac, a senior at Sioux City's North High School.
Charchalac was bullied a lot when she was younger.
"Since I'm kind of short by some standards, in elementary they would bully me and put me down or something, or sometimes it was because I'm a minority," said Charchalac.
She's one reason why state and local leaders were in Des Moines, to show that communities need to stand together against bullying.
"I think that they're here so they can get information and be leaders in their school districts, so they really start raising awareness when they go back to prevent bullying," said Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.
More than 1,100 students went to different breakout sessions where they focused on several aspects of bullying including health issues, cyberbullying, and of course, how to stand up to bullying.
The superintendent of Sioux City's public schools, Dr. Paul Gausman, shared his own memories of bullying as a middle schooler.
"I remember as if it were yesterday, though, sincerely being scared as a seventh grader. I had to go through this gerbil run, filled with ninth graders and of course, I thought that they all had ill intentions," said Gausman.
Gausman also showed parts of the documentary, Bully, which featured students from Sioux City schools. He says, originally, it was difficult to take part in the filming because of what it could reveal, but Gausman also knew they'd learn a lot. He's watched the Bully documentary so many times now, he's lost count.
"Every time I watch it, I pick out something that I could have done better," said Gausman.
"Probably a lot of the students in there it could resonate. I really admire him for letting them do the documentary, to acknowledge that it's going on," said Reynolds.
Now, kids are already starting to see changes. And state leaders say Sioux City could lead the way with mentoring programs that prepare kids for what can come with bullying.
"We know that there are those who will exercise whatever power and control they can to put others in an inferior position, but we need to do all we can with our students to build resiliency and to have them be proud of who they are," said Gausman.
Today, Charchalac is a leader for North High's M.V.P. program, which mentors sophomores and freshmen, and welcomes them to share their fears, so they're ready for bullying.
At the summit, Governor Terry Branstad announced a new resource for all Iowans concerned about bullying and youth suicide. The service is available 24-7.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Niklas Sade's 48-yard field goal with 33 seconds left lifted North Carolina State past Richmond 23-21 on Saturday night.
N.C. State freshman Bryant Shirreffs accounted for two touchdowns and Pete Thomas was 24 of 31 for 237 yards while helping the Wolfpack (2-0) rally from an 11-point deficit.
The Wolfpack took over at their own 21 with 1:59 left and Thomas led them 48 yards in seven plays.
He completed 4 of 5 passes during the drive for 31 yards - including a critical 13-yard throw to Rashard Smith at the sideline - before things stalled at the 31. Sade's kick from the right hash cleared the crossbar with ease.
Michael Strauss moved the Spiders (1-1) downfield in the final seconds, but his deep heave with no time left was batted down by Hakim Jones just short of the goal line.

I finally finished the Squelette amplifier
(Volume 23, "Mini Chip Amp"). The instructions were easy to follow. I built my chassis
from brass sheet and some cherry for the
endpieces. The metalworking is poor, but hey,
I'm a woodworker! Pictures of my amp are at
The amp sounds really good: no hum, noise,
or buzz. The headphone jack is a must. Ross,
thanks for the plans. This was a fun build!
—Brian Andonian, Plymouth, Mich.
AUTHOR ROSS HERSHBERGER RESPONDS: Thanks for
the pictures to drool over, Brian. I love the wood/brass
combo. As for the sound, don't be shy about throwing
it at some high-end speakers. More than one audiophile
has been amazed by what these little chips can do.
Tell me it isn't true! I saw the latest issue
of MAKE at a bookstore, and it was the same
size as every other magazine. I thought
Popular Science made a big mistake when
they "upsized." Now you appear to be doing
the same thing. I'm very sad. Nostalgic, too.
But I'll continue reading MAKE.

The issue you're describing is actually our MAKE Ultimate
Workshop and Tool Guide ( makezine.com/2011/workshop).
It's not MAKE magazine but an annual special edition.
Have no fear — we love the size of MAKE as much as you
do and have no intention of changing the size!
I'm from a long line of makers, but my
training is in urban public health. In Compton,
Calif., most of the community's health problems (poor food, housing, violence) can be
traced to the loss of factories and living-wage
jobs for blue-collar workers. Talk all you want
about retraining and scholarships, but we

are makers, born to work with their hands.

Sometimes you expect the news, and sometimes the news pantses you. From the Sun-Sentinel:
Marlins President David Samson ... will (appear) in the upcoming season of "Survivor." South Florida's ABC affiliate reported Samson will be among 18 contestants on the long-running hit reality TV show.
The article says there have been 27 different Survivor iterations since the show began, but I've never seen an episode. So I don't have any stupid Marlins jokes. Sorry.
Marlins minor leaguer: Wait, this isn't my per diem. It's just a leaflet. "How To Catch and Cook Grackle With Your Bare Hands", by David Samson. The hell?
Jeffrey Loria: /writes suggestions for how to best navigate the Tribal CouncilJeffrey Loria: /puts note in coconut
Jeffrey Loria: /ties coconut to pigeonJeffrey Loria: /throws pigeon out of window
Pigeon: /plummets to ground and explodesJeffrey Loria: /thinks of something else to micro-manage
Samson: And I'm telling you, we shouldn't just fry the fish up. We should put it on a rotisserie and spin, spin, spin it until it cooks, with all sorts of colors, we need colors, can someone get us some colors? We have to find a plant to boil into pink and teal dyes. You, start spinning the fish. You, find a 20-foot-tall flamingo and twirl it. Don't ask questions, dammit, just do it.
Just kidding. I had stupid Marlins jokes.

Lewis Hamilton stars in Swizz Beatz' new music video
People Post
It's a car that is no doubt his prized possession, but it seems that Lewis Hamilton is somewhat of a generous guy. The Formula One racing driver decided to let Swiss Beatz use his flashy McLaren MP4-12C sports car in his latest music video in Cannes last Tuesday.However, rather than let the U.S. star get behind the wheel, 27-year-old Lewis stayed put in the driver's seat and chaperoned his new friend around the French town. The pair obviously attracted a lot of attention as they cruised in the sleek red car in the sunshine. Lewis didn't appear to be fazed by the crowds as he drove down the street and looked rather cool, calm and collected in a denim shirt, dark sunglasses and a bright blue Reebok cap. Earlier on in the day, Hamilton had tweeted several photos of the vehicle, with the caption: "Just got to canne to catch up wit my man @THEREALSWIZZZ he loves my mclaren." However, Swizz Beatz isn't the only music star that Hamilton has been hanging out with while in Cannes. The Stevenage-born racer, who is currently in a relationship with Nicole Scherzinger, also tweeted personal snaps of himself with Chris Brown and Ludacris. Hamilton hinted that he is starring in Swizz Beatz' latest music video after he posted a photo of them in a studio with the following caption: "In Cannes wit my main man @therealswizzz on the film set to "everyday is your birthday" amazing experience!"

Is Kim Kardashian set to wed again?
They have only been dating for a few months, but Kim Kardashian and Kanye West may be set to walk down the aisle. The 31-year-old reality star, who came under fire for ending her marriage to former husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days, is apparently very close to receiving a proposal. The rapper is said to be currently designing a ring for his ladylove, according to radaronline.com. The Gold Digger hitmaker has reportedly asked a private jeweller to craft a piece for his girlfriend using diamonds and rubies from his late mother Donda's personal collection as he wants to propose when her divorce to Humphries is finalised. A source said: "Kanye picked out some of Donda's most expensive pieces, including some diamond earrings and a ruby ring."
He then gave them to a private jeweller friend to make Kim a one-of-a-kind engagement ring. Donda was such an important person in Kanye's life, he thought the world of her and was devastated when she died. "So, he kept all her jewellery as keepsakes — a lot of the pieces were items he bought over the years after he made it as a hip-hop star. And now, Kanye has found a woman he respects and loves just as much as his mom, so he wants to share her jewellery collection with Kim." Kanye wants to marry Kim in either Chicago, where he was raised, or Oklahoma, where Donda is buried. The source added to radaronline.com: "Kanye is an emotional character and has earmarked Chicago or Oklahoma as the two places he'd love to wed Kim." However, friends have advised the rapper against the gesture as he would struggle to get the precious jewels back if he and Kim were to split. The source explained: "His friends think it's a terrible idea and are advising him not to give Kim the ring. Because it's a gift, it would be difficult for Kanye to ask for it back if they ever split up."

Rihanna has a whale of a time as she goes parasailing
She may have injured her foot at the weekend but that didn't stop Rihanna from going parasailing today. The 24-year-old singer appeared to be having the time of her life as she glided through the air in Cannes with a female friend. It was also the perfect opportunity for the star to show off her slender figure in a sexy white swimsuit. Rihanna's fun day out came as reports suggested that she had enjoyed a late night meeting with her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown last Tuesday. The You Da One singer didn't have a care in the world as she screamed her way through the kiting activity in the sunshine. She showed off her slender legs in a black and white swimming costume, but of course was ordered to wear a chunky life jacket before taking part. Rihanna left her long dark hair down and was once again wearing bright red lipstick as she stuck her tongue out and held on tight.

A US drone strike targeting a vehicle used by Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud killed at least four people Friday in a militant compound in a tribal region near the Afghan border, officials said.
Pakistani security officials have not confirmed whether Mehsud was killed in the strike, which took place five kilometres (three miles) north of Miranshah, the main town of the North Waziristan tribal region, a stronghold for Taliban and Al-Qaeda linked militants.
"A US drone fired two missiles targeting a vehicle at the main gate of the compound, killing four militants," a senior security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"It was a Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) compound which was in use of top TTP commander" Mehsud, he added.
The strike came a day after three insurgents were killed in another drone strike that also targeted a rebel compound near Miranshah.
Another security official also confirmed the attack and casualties but the identities of those killed in the strike were not immediately known.
North Waziristan is one of seven semi-autonomous tribal regions in Pakistan.
Washington considers these areas a major hub of Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants plotting attacks on the West and in Afghanistan.
The incident comes a week after Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif urged US President Barack Obama to stop drone strikes during a meeting in Washington.
The Pakistani defence ministry Wednesday said 317 US drone strikes in the country's tribal areas had killed 67 civilians and 2,160 militants in Pakistan since 2008. Other organisations have given much higher estimates for the civilian casualties of drone strikes in the region.
The attacks are deeply unpopular in Pakistan, but Washington sees them as a vital tool in the fight against militants in the lawless tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan.
The Pakistani government has repeatedly protested against drone strikes as a violation of its sovereignty.
But privately officials have been reported as saying the attacks can be useful in removing militants from the country.

Diego Rivera Gallery
Invisible Merkin: Discretion and Ostentation
Monday, June 17 - Saturday, June 22, 2013
Diego Rivera Gallery
Opening reception: Tuesday, June 18, 5 - 7 pm. Free and open to the public
San Francisco Art Institute
800 Chestnut Street
San Francisco,
About the Student Exhibition
Relative to the duality presented in Gustave Courbet's work L'Origine du Monde (The Origin of the World), Invisible Merkin: Discretion and Ostentation presents the flirtation between the literal and coded: figure vs. landscape. Brittany Acocelli doesn't depict the site of desire in a literal way, but rather illustrates the feminine anatomy of the landscape, codifying the otherwise concealed parts of the body and elaborating on the visual metaphors of space and penetrability. In David Lasley's images, a vulgar sexuality is poked fun at in terms of masculine beauty, and the idealized figure. His characters' intentions are meant to show off the virility of the romantically desperate male. Like a dirty text message, these works seek to invert and abbreviate innocent intentions into sensual statements that emphasize graphic eroticism.

Re "Skeptical of climate 'religion' " (Letters, March 12): The writer calling climate change "the new religion of environmental fanatics" does not help us work together on a problem that involves all of us.
Global warming from increased carbon dioxide is continuing with the ocean absorbing much of the heat. The writer states that carbon-based fuels have provided a "standard of living never seen before." This is true if one does not include the economics of the long-term and social costs.
As the carbon emissions heat our planet, the costs for storms, floods, wildfires and drought will be paid by our grandchildren via much higher taxes for a significant expansion of government to deal with increasing natural disasters. That is why conservatives such as William Kristol have said carbon emissions are a problem and the best way to deal with them is a revenue neutral carbon tax.

Apparently, when some people at one of the prouder universities in the country look into installing a new mascot to replace a fan favorite that hadn't been used for years, other people get angry. Well, first the other people don't vote on the eventual ballot item at all. Then they get angry enough to populate Facebook groups dedicated to voting against such movements.
Such is life at Ole Miss right now.
When the school first announced that it would be voting on replacing Colonel Reb -- a white-maned gentleman with a cane introduced in 1979 and retired in 2003 -- with a new mascot, a few enterprising souls who have seen at least the clips of Star Wars that litter YouTube decided that Admiral Ackbar would be their guy. Ackbar is one of the Internet's cherished memes, his "It's a trap!" used and abused like any other, but his connection to Ole Miss works both because of the general "for the lulz" principle of Internet mischief and because he was an admiral for the Rebel Alliance, which ties in neatly with Ole Miss' Rebels nickname.
That, of course, was only the beginning.The Ackbar-for-mascot campaign has gained steam since. But Ole Miss students opposed to the introduction of a new mascot helped it out by not voting on Tuesday: only 3,366 of the 17,000-plus students at the university voted on the proposal at all, and about three-quarters of those votes were for a committee to adopt a new mascot. That's the sort of apathy that America has come to expect from its youth, and the result of it is basically every American with an Internet connection writing something on those wacky Ole Miss students and their memes. Most of the writing fails to note that yesterday's vote was essentially for or against forming a committee but, hey, facts are tough and journalism is hard.
This sympathetic media attention for a new mascot hasn't stopped the resistance to change -- the rebellion against the Rebel Alliance's candidate for the Rebels, if you will -- from cramming a Facebook group with almost as many members than there were votes in Tuesday's election. The 3,100-plus members of "Vote NO on new Ole Miss Mascot!" are fed up with the people who found the time yesterday to vote for and pass a motion to investigate changing to the status quo, and are pounding keyboards with some always amusing ALL CAPS RAGE. A sampling of that rage (names withheld to protect the irate):
⇥⇥"HAS THIS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED? Why can't they just leave us the hell alone already....SERIOUSLY! THEY'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING ELSE!"⇥⇥
⇥⇥"I voted NO today. I have loved Ole Miss since I was a little girl, mainly because of the traditions and the spirit of the school, and now I am an Ole Miss student and really sick of dictatorship there. :("⇥⇥⇥⇥⇥
⇥⇥"we need a preacher for col.rebs funeral the people of ole miss has killed him he will be missed but not forgoten iam sorry col. reb the people did you this way in oxford mississippi------ R.I.P COL REB ---- MAYBE YOU WILL RISE AGAIN ONE DAY I HOPE SO"⇥⇥⇥⇥⇥
⇥⇥"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUMB AS DIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"⇥⇥⇥⇥⇥
⇥⇥"GREAT GOOGLEDY MOOGLEDY, send them dang carpetbaggers back to the north... or WAY down south..."⇥⇥
Disregarding the frequent charges of "dictatorship" on that page, which seem a little hard to swallow given the democratic vote that just happened, it seems that there are some peeved Ole Miss supporters today. If you wade through the frustrations about traditions being cast aside, they do have a point: the university may want to disassociate itself from Colonel Reb, but it's been profiting off of the image even since the 2003 retirement of the on-field mascot.
That point, though, is hard to hear when all the bellyaching is misplaced anger stirred up by a combination of the generally lazy student body and a few savvy Internet users. If the "no new mascot" crowd had been this upset about the prospect of change before yesterday or today, maybe more than a fifth of the Ole Miss student body would have been mobilized to vote.
While Admiral Ackbar is by no means a shoo-in for the next Ole Miss mascot -- good luck getting those rights from George Lucas -- he's probably got a better chance of seeing the sidelines in Oxford in the future than Colonel Reb does. That's because the traditionalists at Ole Miss fell into the greatest trap of the Internet: arguing about something instead of doing something about it.↵

No. 3 seed Roger Federer made quick work of Juan Monaco early Tuesday morning to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2011 U.S. Open.
With a match that started just before midnight, delayed by a three-hour match between woman's World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki and Svetlana Kuznetsova, the five-time U.S. Open champion dropped just three games in winning 6-1, 6-2, 6-0 in an hour and 22 minutes.
Federer's next match will be against No. 11 seed Jo-Wilfriend Tsonga of France, who needed five sets to get past American Mardy Fish, the No. 8 seed. Tsonga was down two sets to one before rallying to upset Fish 6-4, 6-2 in the final two sets.
"He's a tough player and I've had some really good matches against him," Federer said of his Tsonga. "It's always crazy up and down, just like his match today against Mardy Fish. He's an exciting player to play against, and I'm looking forward to it. He's definitely on a good streak. I hope I can stop him this time."

Cotswold wardens achieve nearly record year
3:29pm Tuesday 24th June 2014 in News
IT has been a successful 12 months for the Cotswold Voluntary Wardens who clocked up nearly a record 45,249 hours between them.
More than 320 active wardens, who form the voluntary arm of the Cotswolds Conservation Board, regularly carry out a wide range of activities to conserve, enhance and increase understanding and enjoyment of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Their work in 2013/14, was estimated to be worth at least £283,000.
Despite the wet weather earlier this year, the wardens managed to surpass last year's total hours of 41,973 and came very close to breaking their 2011/12 record of 46,960 hours.
Much of the wardens' time was spent carrying out a variety of practical conservation and enhancement work along with organising and leading guided walks, attending shows and working with schools.
Wardens also helped to facilitate easier access to the Cotswolds countryside by installing or repairing 145 gates and 130 waymark or finger posts, constructing 260 steps in banks and 28 bridges as well as patrolling more than 3,000 miles of paths across different parishes, and clearing 39,000 metres of footpaths and bridleways.
Head Warden John Bartram said: "It has been another very productive year and thanks must go to all our wardens who have once again shown huge enthusiasm, professionalism and a wide range of skills and expertise.
"Whether it involves building a dry stone wall, maintaining a footpath or enthusing children in nature, our ever-resourceful wardens always rise to the challenge and help make many significant and tangible contributions to the activities of the Conservation Board throughout the Cotswolds AONB."
More volunteers are needed for the Avon, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire areas of the Cotswolds. For details, visit cotswoldsaonb.org.uk/cotswoldswardens.

They'd known each other for years, of that much it was agreed. But for exactly how long, and how they first met, those details were a little foggy.
Until one day last summer when Shawne Alston told Dominik Davenport how they first became teammates way back in rec league. Davenport said no way. Alston was sure of it.
There was one way to settle it: Davenport had the championship game from when he was maybe 6 years old on video. So off they went to his house and fired up the VCR.
"He put the tape in," Alston said. "First play of the game, me breaking off the right side. He's lead blocking as the fullback."
The Doris Miller Raiders were the undefeated champions that year, and if that sounds familiar, it should. Nineteen days ago, with Alston bursting through holes and Davenport owning the line of scrimmage, the Phoebus Phantoms capped off an undefeated season by winning the state championship.
It was a fitting way for their high school careers to end. And for the icing, they were named the Daily Press Players of the Year — Alston on offense, Davenport for the second year in a row on defense.
Alston wasn't the Offensive POY in the Peninsula District (Hampton's Tron Martinez was), but his performance in the playoffs made our pick a no-brainer. In that five-game sweep, Alston rushed for 971 yards and 10 touchdowns — a heck of a season for most backs.
For his senior year, he finished with 2,278 yards. The only Peninsula District back who ran for more yards in a season was Phoebus' Elan Lewis, who did it twice.
"I don't think there was a better running back in the state this year," Phoebus coach Bill Dee said. "Different types, but not better. He would have gained 2,000 in the regular season if we had fed him the ball for four quarters."
During the regular season, as Phoebus blew out opponents with running clocks, Alston was seldom on the field in the fourth quarter. That hurt his numbers, but it also left him energized for the playoffs.
"He was as good as advertised," Dinwiddie coach Billy Mills said after Alston's 237-yard afternoon in the state championship game.
Phoebus coaches didn't keep defensive stats this season, but it's safe to say the majority of tackles either included Davenport or were created by his presence. His official position was "lineman," but there was no telling where he'd line up. Right side, left side, over the center, linebacker …
And he rarely took a snap off. He was the best offensive lineman in the district, too. He scored 10 touchdowns as the short-yardage fullback. He even took two snaps at quarterback when starter Tajh Boyd's knee was too sore to take the final kneel-down against Lake Taylor and Dinwiddie.
Davenport played every position on the offensive line, including tight end, during his career. He never got around to wide receiver, though.
"We had to stop somewhere," Dee said.
But that willingness to be versatile is one thing that made "Baby D" special.
"A lot of young players today think that they need to specialize in one thing, like in the NFL," Heritage coach Jason Robinson said. "However, high school football is about doing whatever it takes to help your team win. Not only is he one of the nation's best defensive linemen, but he also is a true team player."
In Davenport's four years on the varsity, the Phantoms went 52-3 and won two state championships. He started both ways in 2006, when he won his first ring. Last year, he was named all-state along with Daily Press defensive POY.
Alston spent his freshman and sophomore years at Menchville, where his two teams went a combined 2-18. He transferred to Phoebus the summer before his junior year, and though Dee knew little about him, Davenport did.
2008 Football players of the year: Shawne Alston, Dominik Davenport
Shawne Alston and Dominik Davenport formed a dynamic duo at Phoebus and will team up in college.
