Dominican-born Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez (24-0-16 KOs) needs his mouth washed out with soap for making an obviously inflammatory, untrue, publicity stunt claim that Andre "SOG" Ward (26-0-14 KOs) is "definitely a dirty fighter." Later, Rodriguez was quoted as having said: "I'm trying to be in a clean sport. I don't believe he's (Andre Ward) dirty at all. I think he's a great fighter …."
September 11, 2012
When Andre Ward stood on the ropes and raised his arms in victory after demolishing Chad Dawson, I was reminded of a similar scene when a young Cassius Clay stood next to the ropes with a raised fist after demolishing "Big Bear" Sonny Liston, and said: "I shook up the world. I'm the greatest." Both tend to beat their opponents psychologically before they get into the ring.

This weekend divas and dudes join forces to raise money for the Team Ashtyn Foundation.
When Ashtyn Schwartz was diagnosed with Leukemia, the community rallied around her.
Now she and her family are paying it forward with Lil' Diva and Dude Day.
The fundraiser raises money for childhood cancer families with a full salon set up for kids, bouncy castles and a dunk tank.
The foundation's president and Ashtyn's mother, Jennifer Schwartz says she wants to educate the community and provide awareness for Pediatric Cancer.
"We actually have two main goals for this event, one is to raise funds to help our local families going through Pediatric Cancer. And the second is to raise awareness you know, we are not exempt from childhood cancer here in the twin cities."
One of Schwartz's main goals is to give families dealing with Pediatric Cancer the chance to have "one" normal day.

It's nearly LC:M time again! They roll around so quick nowadays... I've barely taken down my Christmas tree and it's time to start planning my outfits again. In fact it's rolled around so fast this time that I haven't even managed to start my annual post-Christmas diet. In fact I still have more than my own body weight in both chocolate and booze left to consume.
This season I'm working with Clarks on a little thing called #ClarksStyle. In case you haven't noticed Clarks have revamped their entire range and consequently found themsleves catapulted into the world of men's fashion. They're still specialising in crafting comfortable and high quality shoes but have now added some serious fashion direction into the mix. If you don't believe me check out these pics from their SS14 collection.

During his first five seasons as an NFL starting QB playing in all 80 games, this player threw 100 interceptions, an average of 1.25 interceptions per game, or 20 interceptions per season.
During this same period, this same QB threw for 138 td passes, an average of 1.725 td passes per game or just under 28 td passes per season. His QB rating over the first five seasons as a 16 game starter in each was an average of 85.9.
Who was this NFL QB struggling with interceptions while throwing lots of TD passes?
None other than the future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning.
Peyton Manning is now considered perhaps one of the top 5 QBs in the history of the NFL, if not one of the Top 2 or 3 all time. But despite playing for one team in a dome stadium over the first five years of his career, Peyton Manning was erratic at best. He threw lots of TD passes, but along with it came an average of 20 interceptions per season.
Ryan Fitzpatrick has yet to play in 80 games during his career. This Sunday will be his 73rd game as an NFL QB. He has a reputation for being a gunslinger, with lots of TD passes being undermined by too many interceptions.
During Ryan Fitzpatrick's first 72 games as a QB, his statistics are the following: 91 TD passes and 81 Interceptions. Fitzpatrick will not start his 80th game in his career until almost midway through 2013, assuming he continues to start for the Buffalo Bills next season.
During his brief career as an NFL QB with less than one-third the starts of Peyton Manning (now with 223 starts), Fitzpatrick has averaged 1.26 TD passes per game, and 1.13 interceptions per game.
Over a 16 game season, Fitzpatrick is averaging just over 20 TD passes and 18 interceptions per year. So compared to the first third of Manning's Hall of Fame career, the allegedly erratic Fitzpatrick has thrown fewer interceptions per game, but also fewer TD passes.
Fitzpatrick's Passer Rating over his 72 game career is 76.7 over his career. Manning's was 85.9, significantly better, though Fitzpatrick has had the disadvantage of playing for three different teams and only being the fulltime starter over the bulk of past three seasons, less than 50 percent of his total games played in the NFL.
It seems fair to say playing as a backup is more difficult for any QB than it is to be prepped mentally and physically to be the starting QB. So advantage Fitzpatrick (in an unhelpful way).
In his 44 games as a full time Bills starter Fitzpatrick has 70 TD passes and 54 interceptions, which translates into 1.59 TD passes per game and less than 1.3 interceptions per game.
His Passer Rating since taking over from Trent Edwards in the third game of the season against the New England Patriots on the road has been over 81, with his high of 82.9 being registered in this his roughly third full season as a starting QB in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills.
So in comparison to one of the greatest QBs in the history of the NFL, and one of the top 5 QBs in the game today, Ryan Fitzpatrick's start to his NFL career compares favorably in terms of interceptions, and less favorably in terms of TD passes per game and Passer Rating.
Still, as a starter for the Buffalo Bills under Chan Gailey, Fitzpatrick (still young by Peyton Manning experience standards) has a Passer Rating of roughly 81.2, which is in the ballpark with Manning's first five years as a full time starter, where he had a Passer Rating 85.9, which is considered roughly average by current NFL QB ratings.
When it comes to the number of TD passes per pass attempt, an interesting comparison emerges. During his career of 72 games played in the NFL, every 24.4 passes Fitz has thrown results in a TD pass, but every 21.27 passes have resulted in a TD since becoming the full time starter as Bills QB, which compares favorably with the performance of Manning's early career.
During Manning's first 80 starts, every 20.41 passes resulted in a TD pass.
Over Manning's incredible career, every 17.93 passes has resulted in a TD.
Manning averages 1.94 TD passes per game over his career, which shows an improvement of more than an additional three TD passes per season since his first five seasons in the league.
For his career Manning has 209 interceptions in 223 games, or 0.937 interceptions per game.
Where Manning truly improved his performance over time though was by reducing his number of interceptions as he gained experience. Since his first five seasons (80 games) Manning cut his interceptions per game from 1.25 per game to 0.76, a reduction of roughly 8 interceptions per season. Manning has only thrown 109 interceptions in his past 143 games, after throwing 100 in his first 80 games.
If Fitz were to throw a few more TD passes per season, and reduce his interceptions per game as Manning has since his first 80 starts in the NFL, Fitz would be one of the leading QBs in the league.
Manning's career Passer Rating is 95.5, an increase of 10 points from his average during his first five years and 80 starts in the NFL.
But considering the improvement in Peyton Manning's game after his first five seasons in the NFL, those who claim that Fitzpatrick has hit his ceiling need to explain how it is that one of the greatest to ever play the game struggled so much with his game over the course of his first five seasons, and then took his game to a superstar level over the course of the following nine seasons in the league.
I am all for drafting a QB this time around, but I also do not believe Fitz cannot get better, and significantly so, in the seasons to come, if given the opportunity.
While I am in no way claiming that Fitz can become another Peyton Manning, I am suggesting that the career trajectory of Peyton Manning shows how a QB that can throw TD passes can also learn how to keep throwing them in abundance while learning how to significantly reduce the interceptions which kill drives and lose football games.
Perhaps Fitz will continue to reduce the number of interceptions he throws, while continuing to throw an impressive number of TD passes, as he has shown the ability to do since becoming the Bills full time starter.

Whatever Happened To Barry Sadler?
In 1966 the United States was in the middle of the Viet Nam war. The country was splitting apart, with words like 'Hawks' and 'Doves', draft dodging, patriotism, burning draft cards and people supporting and opposing the war effort writing and recording their views and feelings.
One of the biggest hit songs of that era was called 'Ballad Of The Green Berets' by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler. The song was a #1 pop/rock music hit for 5 weeks and crossed over into country, easy listening, and other musical formats.
And then, largely, he disappeared to much of the general public.
So who was Barry Sadler and whatever happened to him?
Born in New Mexico, Sadler dropped out of High School in the 10th grade and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force at the age of 17. As a member of the U.S. Special Forces, he was wounded in Viet Nam in 1965 and returned to the U.S.
And then, 1966 was the year of his mega-hit 'Ballad Of The Green Berets'.
Sadler was never able to copy the success of that smash hit, although he recorded several albums, won several awards and in fact wrote books.
But trouble would be in Barry Sadler's future.
In 1978 Sadler was accused of killing a man and was ultimately convicted of voluntary manslaughter.
He moved to Guatemala in the mid 1980′s and was shot in the head in September, 1988. He survived the shooting, was air lifted to the United States and remained in a coma for several months. He recovered but with brain damage.
He died in 1989 from complications related to the shooting.
Barry Sadler was 49.

Eggsotic on Hiatus
By M.M. Cloutier
Time was when restaurants in Palm Beach shuttered their doors as the winter social season waned and boffo patrons headed north to second and third homes where spring and summer heralded a new social whirl.
Restaurants like The Patio, which, during its 1927-1960s lifetime, closed annually by around March after a few months of nightly dress-to-the-nines dining and dancing to Val Ernie's all-violin orchestra and cheers when the retractable roof opened.
But in recent times, a steady year-round residential base—not to mention a constant stream of area visitors and a European tourist wave in summer, among other things—has changed that.
Except for an anomalous exception, restaurants in town are open year round.
And what of this pedagogical musing? It leads to this: Like restaurants of yore, Eggsotic at the Garden Club in Palm Beach (140 Sunrise Ave., beside the Sun & Surf condos) has closed for the season.
It's scheduled to re-open in mid-October.
Eggsotic debuted on the island in late December. Since then, its sister location along West Palm Beach's Okeechobee Boulevard has closed for good.

Billings College Students are celebrating in full force Saturday, as many seniors are taking that step out into the real world.
This is Rocky Mountain College's 131st Commencement Ceremony.
"I am super excited, it's been a long four years and it's just finally coming to an end and feels real now that we're waiting to go on stage. I did my internship here and it turned into a job and so I'm really excited to have a job right out of college," said Esther Timofeye, who just graduated from Rocky with her degree in Psychology.
And just a few miles away from Rocky Mountain College, MSU-Billings seniors celebrated as they graduated Saturday. MSU-B held their 86th Annual Commencement Ceremony at the Rimrock Auto Arena where many students proudly walked across the stage with their diploma in hand.
"I was able to be involved in school on campus and it opened up so many opportunities for me and now that I got an internship with the Rays, it's just like, I am so thankful that I came to MSU-B. I feel like it opened up the opportunity for me," said Alayna Lacher, who graduated with her degree in Public Relations and will be doing an internship with the Tampa Bay Rays.
"Just being able to graduate with my friends and all that was really special. And graduating from a school that I started out as a freshman, and found myself and grew up a lot, so I wouldn't miss the opportunity to walk today, for sure," said Aaron Stucker, who received his degree in Biology.
At MSU-B, degrees received included Associates, Bachelors, and Masters.

Who REALLY Cancelled White House Tours?
...tourists grumble
As tourists squawk about being denied access to White House tours, this question: who really ended the tours?
White House spokesman Jay Carney said this last week:
"The fact is the Secret Service, like other agencies of government, is affected by the sequester. And the Secret Service presented options that ranged from canceling tours to potential furloughs and cuts in overtime. And in order to allow the Secret Service to best fulfill its core mission, the White House made the decision that we would, unfortunately, have to temporarily suspend these tours."
So the White House made the decision, Carney says. But President Obama, in an interview with ABC News, had a different story. Here's what he says:
"You know, I have to say this was not a decision that went up to the White House. But th– what the Secret Service explained to us was that they're gonna have to furlough some folks. What furloughs mean is– is that people lose a day of work and a day of pay. And, you know, the question for them is, you know, how deeply do they have to furlough their staff and is it worth it to make sure that we've got White House tours that means that you got a whole bunch of families who are depending on a paycheck who suddenly are seeing a 5% or 10% reduction in their pay."
So who's right?

Training the Dive Voluntourist for Marine Research and Conservation
In dive voluntourism, the volunteers participating in scuba diving tourism can help towards marine research and conservation in Australia. Marine Parks Authorities around Australia recognise the useful contribution of volunteer and community watch groups. However, there are also legitimate reasons why universities and research institutions do not use willing volunteer labour more.
Involving non-scientist divers in marine research sometimes has to overcome scepticism in the scientific community that the integrity of data collection could be preserved. Time would be required to train up the diver in survey and data collection methodology. Some studies have been conducted to examine the efficacy of using tourism operators and community volunteers to collect reliable data. These studies concluded that, with appropriate training and research topics, non-scientist divers could make a meaningful contribution towards marine conservation and research.
In Australia, various community underwater research groups and non-profit environmental organisations have developed protocols for training and data collection suited to the non-scientist diver. Many are grant funded, and grants run out. There is potential to tap the recreational dive dollar to develop alternative channels of non-grant funding. The challenge is to find a way to do this without compromising the conservation objectives of the organisation, and at the same time, making the recreational diver's participation meaningful and fun.
Generally training a volunteer will involve an introduction to survey or data collection methodologies such as laying a transect line and the dive pattern to be employed in the survey. As surveys take place in sometimes exposed environments and can be in the shallows where the dive volunteer has to maintain his or her position in currents or surge, optimal bouyancy control is expected of the diver. Most training sessions start with a check out bouyancy dive and DiVo places great emphasis in ensuring that divers DIVE AWARE, ie., know about finning techniques that will minimise reef damage.
Check out a real life volunteer training session with the University of New South Wales and Sydney Institute of Marine Science with the January 2012 Sydney crayweed underwater forest regen project.
As a sample of training that a voluntourist may expect from a fish biodiversity survey, you can look up the training protocols for Reef Life Survey which will be applied in the upcoming December 2011 Reef Life Survey expedition in the Great Barrier Reef and Lizard Island.

It's been a while since we've had a good book-ish FanPost, so I thought I'd put one together. I try to put a little bit of a different twist on these whenever I do them and this time I've decided to look back on the books I've read this year--and I'd love for you to do the same. Not all of them, certainly. I'm something of a slow reader, because I have to be to stay focused, and I can crank out about 35-40 finished books a year. Some people easily read over 100. No, this is just going to be a highlights thread. What have you read this year that was notable in some way, and why?
The Left Hand of Darkness / The Dispossessed (Ursula Le Guin):
I've grouped these two because they're part of my overall read-through of Le Guin's Hainish Cycle. The truth is, I haven't met the ULG novel I didn't like (though I have met a short story or two). I found Left Hand to be a little more trying at times. It's a more difficult book with more genre-play, for one, but the characters are also more alien. That's not a bad thing. It's just a hard thing. Dispossessed really is a lovely book, though, and I was thoroughly impressed by how deftly it developed and handled the multiple meaningful connotations of its title.
Redshirts (John Scalzi):
The Hugo winner, and Scalzi's writing, seems to be pretty divisive. Though I'm not convinced Redshirts is major-award-winner good, count me solidly among the group that likes it, rather a lot. It's fast-paced, funny, and clever. I do agree with some of the criticisms Scalzi gets for his dialogue and characterization, the former of which is sometimes forced and the latter sometimes flat, but the book is a good time, darn it, and it does some legitimately surprising things with what seems like a thin premise. I also thoroughly enjoyed the much-talked-about codas.
The Shootist (Glendon Swarthout):
This book is notable for two reasons: 1) I would not normally be one to go in for the Western genre--in fact, I only read it because it was somebody else's selection in my book club, and 2) I really, really liked it. It's a thoughtful look at the end of a life, and, in a way, at the genre itself. It has pretty interesting things to say about modern myth-making, too. Really, one of the nice surprises of my year.
A Storm of Swords (George R. R. Martin):
This book put me, acutely, through my love/hate George R. R. Martin wringer. Martin left me with less room for middle ground in this book than he did in the other two. The stuff I hate about Martin's writing was hate-ier (though I think A Clash of Kings was creepier), and the stuff I love about his writing was love-ier. I was close, at one point, to putting it down and being done with it. Then, well, certain character outcomes happened and it became difficult to put down. And, if you'll excuse the pun, I haven't read a shittier ending that I enjoyed so much. I haven't tasted a Feast for Crows yet, but I assume the books will not stop being love/hate for me. I just hope they're not so extreme about it.
Wool Omnibus (Hugh Howey):
It's always an interesting experience reading the hot thing, and Wool was one of the hotter things out there for a while. It's also always interesting to look at these self-pub success stories and see what the bar is. Wool is, in my opinion, perfectly okay. It doesn't reinvent a single thing. It's relatively predictable. The reading level isn't all that high. But it moves, and I never felt compelled to put it away. As a writer, it's one of those books that, when it has success, gives you that encouraging sense of "Yeah, I could do this," without that infuriating sense of "This shit is what people want to pay to read?"
The Ocean at the End of the Lane (Neil Gaiman):
This was easily my favorite book of anything I read this year. It's short, but dense. It's really, really lovely. It's a concentrated burst of Gaiman's pre-occupations. Dreams? Doors? Hecate? Other mothers? Storytelling? Myths? It really felt like everything Gaiman has scratched at in each of his other works was here, and more vulnerable than ever. It felt like the book he's been trying to write since he left Sandman behind. I can't recommend this one enough, though I can recommend it a lot less for people who aren't already familiar with Gaiman.
Zone One (Colson Whitehead):
This was an interesting book. Whitehead's The Intuitionist is such a great book, and this one shares some of the same characteristics that one did. A small, slow beginning that builds to a satisfying end. However, this one felt more like a struggle for Whitehead. Was it being in the zombie genre? Sometimes it felt like it was trying too hard. Trying to sound literary. Trying not to give in to the impulse to show much zombie action. Trying to decide whether to take advantage of the genre's typical social criticisms or make fun of them. I found it consistently interesting, but I'm not sure I can say that I enjoyed it.
Stranger in a Strange Land (Robert A. Heinlein):
This one was notable because of how much I hated it. I'd never read Heinlein before, but I know, obviously, his position in the pantheon. Hated it. I wasn't aware before going in about the controversies over his writing (particularly his later career). Hated it. Though I did learn of them after--in part because I just HAD to Google whether or not other people were bothered by the same things I was (do you ever do that? hate a book or a movie and then Google "(title of thing) sexist/racist/sucks" just to see what comes up?). I hated this book. The story goes away so Heinlein can use a mouthpiece to lecture his audience about... every crazy thing he believes... for hundreds of pages. And did I mention the wish fulfillment? Oh, lord, the wish fulfillment. I hated it.
Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic (Alison Bechdel):
I really like the creative non-fiction genre, and I like it even more in graphic form. The structure of this book is largely circular and referential, and both of those can get tiring, but there are some moments of astonishing pain and clarity throughout. As somebody who lost a parent very suddenly, though in significantly different circumstances, I found Bechdel's search for personal meaning in her father's death... extraordinarily familiar. It's really good.
The Wise Man's Fear (Patrick Rothfuss):
This was the last book that I finished, and it's another one of those mixed feeling sort of things. The Kingkiller Chronicles have gotten A LOT of praise and love and so on and so forth and, well, while I like it so far, I don't love it. It does seem like an impeccably planned and dense series, but the voice of the writing feels workmanlike and oddly modern (though I usually dislike when people play the anachronism card with works that don't have a defined time period or, in fact, don't even necessarily take place on Earth -- such as ASOIAF: it's NOT the middle ages, jerks; it's not even on this fucking planet). Wise Man's Fear in particular is clearly very pleased with itself, which puts me off a bit, and indulges in more than its fair share of wish fulfillment, which puts me off more. But it is fast. It is clever. It is even unpredictable. It is also deep and fairly thoughtful, and the central conceit about how loudly silence speaks (which is the whole point, as I read it, of the Chandrian preventing people from talking about them a bunch) really gives the book a lot to chew on. I will be reading Day 3 whenever that happens, but my jury is still kind of out on this one. I haven't bought my ticket on the Pat Rothfuss express quite yet, I guess.
So, I mean, that's me. What about you?

"As usual, I've been jumping back and forth between prose and poetry, depending on my mood and energy level. I'm in the middle of Thomas Powers' huge The Killing of Crazy Horse and into the heart of Isabel Stirling's Zen Pioneer, a biography of the wealthy Chicago woman who became a Zen priest and served as mentor to Gary Snyder and mother-in-law to Alan Watts. For poetry, I'm savoring the excellent poems in Eliza Griswold's Wideawake Field, as well as the more experimental work of John Taggart's Is Music. Because it haunted me deeply the first time I read it, I'm rereading Anne Carson's Nox, a single-page, 20-foot-long collage of poetry and images, which I unfold and lay out across the floor to ponder."

We Love
Sonia loves this… because catching the sky in a stone is no mean feat. This season Chanel went all ice queen on us for their ready to wear collection and quite appropriately chose Northern Lights as inspiration for their jewellery. This oversized ring in Agate stone is like a little piece of heaven all for oneself, a blend of pale tones, fine grains of colour exploding from the centre reflects the colour spectacle of the wondrous Aurora light display in the ionosphere. Encased by a delicate silver trim, its magnitude is met in equal measure by the use of opulent materials, and makes the ring a captivating addition to any outfit.
Recently, film makers have taken a particular shine to fashion designers, none more so than the legendary Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel whose life has been the subject of two feature films: Coco before Chanel, and Coco & Igor Stravinsky, which is released this month. Though it is her love life that is subject to speculation in both features, it is her remarkable rise from opening a single shop on Rue Cambon to running the world most well-known fashion empire that is worthy of note. Her unique personal sense of style, advocating simple couture pieces, and in particular the knitted two-piece suit for which she became synonymous has made Chanel an institution in the fashion industry. After her death it was Karl Lagerfeld who took the reigns, succeeding in maintaining the integrity of Coco's aesthetic while each season presenting innovative, modern womenswear. This seasons collection inspired by snow and protection from the cold, Lagerfeld presented fantasy furs and silhouettes enveloped by sumptuous warmth.

When you decide to rent your real estate property, most people just going into the business realize the process takes a lot of time and work. In fact, a good landlord managing his own property likely has to be on-site or visit the location at least once a week if not more. This may sound burdensome, but the amount of tenant contact, management, repair, issues, and site issues that occur are numerous. The work only grows exponentially if the rental location is a multi-unit structure.
To reduce personal involvement, many landlords choose the option of hiring a property management service via a property management agreement. This kind of contract essentially lays out the terms and conditions a third party will perform for a landlord on the property in return for payment. The compensation is typically a share of the rent collected from the tenant in the property.
A property management agreement has a number of benefits. First, the landlord doesn't have to be present at the site for most, if not all, of the issues that arise. Second, the property management company can manage multiple aspects of the property, including rent collection, eviction, and marketing for new tenants. Third, the property manager can monitor the property regularly, leaving the landlord free to spend time on other unrelated issues.
While a landlord may prefer to be anonymous to tenants, the actions of the property management service still represent the landlord. Many services are fly-by-night operations, skimping on what they can to maximize profits. Such services give other property managers a bad name and ultimately upset the tenants. Screening for the right service is essential to avoid this kind of situation.
A property management agreement represents a legal contract between a landlord and a service manager. The document should spell out what the landlord needs from the service for a specific property and its tenants. This can include rent collection, monitoring, management, administration and paperwork, accounting, tax paperwork filing, renting, maintenance, and evictions if necessary. In some cases, property management services will even provide legal services for an extra cost. In return, a service will want payment through a cut of the rent collected, an outright payment, or both.
It is critical for landlords to understand that a property management service acts as the landlord's legal agent and proxy under a property management agreement. This means the landlord can be held legally responsible for the service's actions. For instance, if a service manager turns out to be a freak and starts peeking in the windows of tenants, the landlord can be sued for invasion of privacy and harassment due to the manager's actions. Thus it is important for landlords to make sure that indemnification language is included in the property management agreement.
A good management service will also provide a comprehensive package for a landlord needing third party servicing. Many times a property management agreement will come with options for the landlord to choose from. The greater the amount of services, of course, the higher the cost from either rent collected or direct payment.
Most services will have their own default property management agreement already written. A landlord is not bound to accept these default terms as any such contract is completely negotiable until agreed to by both parties. However, some services will demand that their default agreement be used or no service. It's likely a good idea to skip such a business as many reputable property management companies will be more than willing to customize a property management agreement to add a new customer to their portfolio. Landlords should not be afraid to push for terms that are favorable to their own needs first.
Once the draft property management agreement is ready to go, a landlord should have it looked over by a property attorney versed in both contracts and landlord-tenant law. This review will help identify any exposures or concerns the landlord should be aware of prior to turning over daily management to the hired service. You don't want to find out about a legal problem well after the fact when the contract is executed.
Finally, a property management agreement can be with an individual or a business. Sometimes a property just needs one on-site property manager. Whichever option is chosen, landlords just need to remember to specify all their requirements in the property management agreement. It becomes the guidebook and checklist for what the manager has to do with the property.

Could today become the hottest day of the year?
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year..so far.
The magic 30C was recorded in London, Rothamstead and Charlwood.
The last time we saw 30C was the 1st October last year.This could well be topped again today, with 31C possible in parts of the south-east
Across the south it'll be hot inland and muggy this evening and overnight.
Northern England, north Wales and areas of the north Midlands will be prone to more cloud and some drizzly rain but it'll remain warm - close in places.
Much of Scotland and Northern Ireland will be better and brighter than recent days.

Remote Sensing - an overview
Remote Sensing (RS) is the science and art of acquiring information (spectral, spatial, temporal) about material objects, area, or phenomenon, without coming into physical contact with the objects, or area, or phenomenon under investigation. Without direct contact, some means of transferring information through space must be utilised. In remote sensing, information transfer is accomplished by use of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). EMR is a form of energy that reveals its presence by the observable effects it produces when it strikes the matter. EMR is considered to span the spectrum of wavelengths from 10-10 mm to cosmic rays up to 1010 mm, the broadcast wavelengths, which extend from 0.30-15 mm.
Types of Remote Sensing
In respect to the type of Energy Resources
Passive Remote Sensing: Makes use of sensors that detect the reflected or emitted electro-magnetic radiation from natural sources.
Active Remote Sensing: Makes use of sensors that detect reflected responses from objects that are irradiated from artificially-generated energy sources, such as radar.
In respect to Wavelength Regions
Remote Sensing is classified into three types in respect to the wavelength regions
Visible and Reflective Infrared Remote Sensing
Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing
Microwave Remote Sensing
Bands Used in Remote Sensing
Emission of EMR (Electo-Magnetic Radiation) from gases is due to atoms and molecules in the gas. Atoms consist of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons, which have discrete energy states. Transition of electrons from one energy state to the other leads to emission of radiation at discrete wavelengths. The resulting spectrum is called line spectrum. Molecules possess rotational and vibrational energy states. Transition between which leads to emission of radiation in a band spectrum. The wavelengths, which are emitted by atoms/molecules, are also the ones, which are absorbed by them. Emission from solids and liquids occurs when they are heated and results in a continuous spectrum. This is called thermal emission and it is an important source of EMR from the viewpoint of remote sensing.
The Electro-Magnetic Radiation (EMR), which is reflected or emitted from an object, is the usual source of Remote Sensing data. However, any medium, such as gravity or magnetic fields, can be used in remote sensing.
Remote Sensing Technology makes use of the wide range Electro-Magnetic Spectrum (EMS) from a very short wave "Gamma Ray" to a very long 'Radio Wave'.
Wavelength regions of electro-magnetic radiation have different names ranging from Gamma ray, X-ray, Ultraviolet (UV), Visible light, Infrared (IR) to Radio Wave, in order from the shorter wavelengths.
The optical wavelength region, an important region for remote sensing applications, is further subdivided as follows:
Wavelength (mm)
Optical wavelength
Reflective portion
(i) Visible
(ii) Near IR
(iii) Middle IR
Far IR (Thermal, Emissive)
Microwave region (1mm to 1m) is another portion of EM spectrum that is frequently used to gather valuable remote sensing information.
Spectral Characteristics vis-ŕ-vis different systems
The sunlight transmission through the atmosphere is effected by absorption and scattering of atmospheric molecules and aerosols. This reduction of the sunlight's intensity s called extinction.
One cannot select the sensors to be used in any given remote-sensing task arbitrarily; one must instead consider
the available spectral sensitivity of the sensors,
the presence or absence of atmospheric windows in the spectral range(s) in which one wishes to sense, and
the source, magnitude, and spectral composition of the energy availabe in these ranges.
Ultimately, however, the choice of spectral range of the sensor must be based on the manner in which the energy interacts with the features under investigation.
Energy Interactions, Spectral Reflectance and Colour Readability in Satellite Imagery
All matter is composed of atoms and molecules with particular compositions. Therefore, matter will emit or absorb electro-magnetic radiation on a particular wavelength with respect to the inner state. All matter reflects, absorbs, penetrates and emits Electro-magnetic radiation in a unique way. Electro-magnetic radiation through the atmosphere to and from matters on the earth's surface are reflected, scattered, diffracted, refracted, absorbed, transmitted and dispersed. For example, the reason why a leaf looks green is that the chlorophyll absorbs blue and red spectra and reflects the green. The unique characteristics of matter are called spectral characteristics.

If you're going to set off fireworks to music—as Evanston has for more than 30 years—you'll need a song list with just the right ingredients.
Good "fireworks shooting music" must be popular, have some patriotic element, a varying score and "a terrific beat," according to Dave Sniader, volunteer lakefront and fireworks director for the Evanston 4th of July Association. Though he's a Winnetka resident, Sniader has helped coordinate the music for Evanston's fireworks display for the past three decades.
The 18 songs in this year's set will offer a little something for everybody, he says, from old favorites like the 1812 Overture to pop songs from 2012. Many of the selections will commemorate anniversaries—like the 50th anniversary of astronaut John Glenn orbiting the earth, the 100th anniversary of the Mark Twain Museum in Missouri and the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
"I'm a commemorator, and I think that's important," says Sniader. "There are so many things to commemorate that appeal to so many different people."
While the 20-minute list for this year's fireworks display is filled with Americana, there are also a few surprising selections, including some calypso music in honor of the 50th anniversary of Jamaican independence.
"Just because we're celebrating our nation's birthday and the birth of a democracy, we're going to play a little selection from Harry Belafonte," Sniader says.
Evanston's fireworks have been set to music for years, since the 4th of July Association originally launched them to the beat of tape-recorded tunes at in the 1970s. Back then, the cost of the display was funded by the price of tickets sold for admission to the stadium.
In the 1980s, however, the 4th of July Association decided it wanted to make the festivities free, and moved the event to the lakefront.
"We wanted to share the fireworks display completely with the folks of Evanston all the way up and down the shoreline," Sniader says.
Today, the cost of , including the display itself, is funded entirely through personal donations and corporate sponsorship, according to Sniader. The total cost of this year's fireworks display, including the lakefront concert, is roughly $27,500.
Part of that sum includes the cost of synchronizing the music to the pyrotechnics, a feat that few other municipalities undertake, Sniader notes.
Setting up the sound system near the lagoon in during sweltering heat the day before the Fourth, Sniader explains how the musical signal from an iTunes playlist on his laptop is synchronized to the explosives. From a control room of sorts inside the picnic shelter, musical the signal is sent out on wires to speakers on the beach, transmitted to nearby stereos through local broadcast on 90.5 FM and sent via radio to the fireworks crew from Melrose Pyrotechnics, who are stationed at Clark Street Beach.
At the beach, a radio transmitter picks up the signal and carries it to a panel wired separately to each of the more than 1,000 shells to be set off. With the help of a computer, every firework is synchronized to go off at just the right time.
"We hit the beat of the music 99 percent of the time," Sniader says.
Before the process was computerized, a crew member held earphones hooked up to a radio to set off each firework one by one, hitting thousands of switches on a panel to the beat of the music.
"It's much safer now, and much more exact," Sniader notes.
This year's lakefront festivities begin at 7:30 p.m. with a twilight concert by the Palatine Concert Band. Fireworks will be launched from Clark Street Beach starting at 9:15 p.m.
"We're really looking forward to seeing some new shells that Melrose not only sources from around the world but actually manufactures themselves right down in Indiana," Sniader says.
On the big day, he'll watch the fireworks from his "command center" at the lagoon along with a crew of volunteers, where it's his job to make sure the music is broadcast without a hitch. As for what's on his playlist? That's top secret.
"Come to the show and watch," he says.

Not a bad time. Only one ring and kind of small. Thanks to protestors, there were very few animal acts.

It is a one ring circus. Only 3 elephants. The PETA people outside the event were obnoxious.

text: This is a trully masterpiece of a heavy metal live album.Ripper Owens is a great frontman and an amazing singer! His performance in the songs written in the Halford era is simply awesome. In fact, in songs like "beyound the realms of death", "metal gods" and "diamonds and rust" I dare to say that Owens had a better perormance than Halford. In the whole, Owens had a wonderful performance and he drives the cwowd crazy with his screams and powerful voice!The band performance is also awesome and the crowd is burning.The track list couldn't be better, with classic songs and a few songs from the jugulator album. It is a must have for any metal fan all over the world.

I was very surprised to see he was released by the Bears, and note that he's currently on the Jets practise squad, so is becoming increasingly familiar with the 3-4 defense.
At 6ft6, 288lbs, having run a 40yds time in 4.76 and with a wonderlic score of 29, I don't why he was drafted by the Bears who couldn't work out whether he was a DE or a DT, as for me he has the perfect size to be a 3-4 DE.
Surely he can offer more to the team than the likes of John McCargo long term and would it be worth us raiding the Jets to grab him as one for the future?

Albany - It's a rite of passage for boys, getting their first tie and of course learning how to tie it. But many young men don't have a father figure to pass on a tie, or that all important lesson of tying a half Windsor. But that doesn't mean they can't learn. And with the help of leaders throughout Albany, 30 young men got that chance Tuesday.
It seems so confusing. Do you loop once or twice? Or are you supposed to flip first? Tying a tie, can get just about anyone tied in knots. But with just the right touch, and a little lesson, it can be done.
"I think it's really great," said Jonathan Jefferson, "because some kids don't really know how to tie and tie, and some forgot." But not him. Jonathan may still need a little help, but he knows about ties, thanks to District Attorney Ken Hodges.
"That's the neat thing, and I obviously didn't realize the impact," said Hodges. The impact he had on Jonathan after giving him a tie. You see, Jonathan doesn't have a dad at home, so Hodges went through his collection of ties and found one that would suit him for school. He said, "I went home and picked a tie, just like the one he described he needed and found it and brought it to give to him."
A tie that binds the two together, like all the community leaders who donated one of their own ties for young men who are members of the Albany Boys and Girls club. "It's symbolic of course, but it's a step that all these community leaders want to come forward and work with them on this," said Hodges. "These kids, it's a step in the right direction in the transition from boyhood to manhood." "I guess today was that day," said Jonathan.
Plus, he really digs his new tie. He said, "I like the colors. I love blue a lot and it has gold in it too, which is another one of my favorite colors."
Ties that Bind was sponsored by Phoebe as part of men's health week. They plan on hosting the event annually.

The reality trend is here to stay. While we've talked about the need for visuals depicting real people in the past, it's a topic that's gaining more attention from advertisers and consumers alike. As more people look for reflections of themselves in advertising, marketers are responding with ads depicting fewer size-0 models and celebrities and more real people and relatable moments. However, it's not just about real people, but real families and real situations – everything from blended families and single dads to gay and interracial couples in everyday moments. By depicting scenes that more accurately reflect modern society, brands are gaining increased credibility while satisfying our growing interest in real people, stories and experiences. Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty, which debuted nearly a decade ago, set the stage for increased authenticity in advertising by celebrating individuality and imperfection at all ages and fitness levels. Today, we're seeing even more honest and refreshing depictions of everyday life from the likes of Cheerios, Barclays, VW and Crate and Barrel, whose communications speak to a diverse audience while giving consumers a taste of authenticity that's universally relatable. In the age of user-generated content and increased transparency, visual communications that accurately portray the nuances of the human existence are becoming the norm rather than the exception as people of all ages, shapes, sizes and ethnicities finally begin to take center stage.

D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier is warning drunk drivers her officers will be looking for impaired drivers.
And those officers will be armed with new breathalyzer technology.
The breathalyzer tests were suspended in the District after questions were raised showing they were not working properly.
But now the old machines have new and better software place.
Friday Mayor Gray and Chief Lanier say they have faith in the machines.
The chief made a comment that drivers should know her officers are out there looking for drunk drivers, but she wouldn't say if checkpoints or other certain locations were being targeted.

Fig. M: When hot-coating, use long, light strokes to
spread the resin. A little extra pressure in the curve
of the deck will help keep resin from pooling there.
Fig. N: A dam of masking tape creates a nice sharp
edge in the tail. Fig. O: Drip resin around the leash plug,
wait awhile for bubbles to rise, then drip a little more
if needed. Fig. P: Your board will be strongest if you let
the epoxy cure 7 full days — if you can wait that long.
15. Hot-coat the board.
17. Install the leash plug.
"Hot coat" is shaper-speak for the second coat of
polyester resin, formulated to cure quicker, generating heat. Your epoxy hot coat won't get hot, but
serves the same purpose: to smooth the board and
fill in the lamination texture.
Cut a 1¼" hole 3" deep in the deck, on the stringer
a few inches from the tail. Clean the hole so the
leash plug fits flush to the deck. Pour in a bit of
resin thickened with bamboo dust, place the plug,
and patiently drip resin around it to fill the gap
Lightly sand with 120-grit and remove dust. Mix
12oz of resin with double Additive F (2ml per ounce of
hardener). Paint the deck and rails, forcing resin into
the fabric texture. Go over it again lightly to spread
it evenly, letting the brush do the work (Figure M).
Scrape drips off the bottom, and let it cure.
(Figure O). Let it cure and sand it flush.
18. Gloss-coat the board (optional).
Paint a thin coat of resin mixed with double Additive
F, and let it cure. Sand with 320-grit and buff to a
mirror polish. Go surfing!
Flip the board, sand down drips, and remove dust.
Run masking tape around the rail just below the
centerline, to save the deck from drips. Around the
tail, add a resin dam of masking tape, sticking up;
this will make a nice sharp edge (Figure N). Now
paint the bottom and fins with 12oz of resin. Let it
set 2 hours, then pull off the drip tape and let it cure.

Special thanks to Brian Gagliana at Greenlight Surfboard Supply for friendly advice and encouragement.
16. Sand the hot coat.
Sand the board well with 80-grit, then 120, on up to
220. A power sander is handy, but go easy. Use the
foam sanding pad on the rounded rails, and a hard
block on the sharp rails. Hand-sand the fins.

Man Held After Stabbing Incident in Caldicot
4:58pm Saturday 30th July 2011 in Gwent news By Chris Wood, Reporter
A 43-year-old man was arrrested on suspicion of attempted murder after an incident on Sandy Lane, Caldicot, in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Officers attending the scene found a 47-year-old woman who had suffered serious stab wounds and was subsequently taken to Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital.
A spokeswoman for Gwent Police said on Saturday afternoon that she was in a serious but stable condition.
Gwent Police officers were called to the area at around 1am following reports of a disturbance.
The 43-year-old man remains in police custody with officers not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

Top Ten Greatest Beards in Horror History
THE TOP TEN LIST OF THE GREATEST BEARDS IN HORROR HISTORY continues...
5: Pierce Brosnan as Jean Charles Pommier in Nomads
I'll admit I've only seen this movie once, but that's just a testament to how utterly badass Pierce Brosnan's beard is in this movie. This beard was so impressive it ended up on the Box in full form. It's literally the first thing my eyes go to when I see the poster. It left an impression on me, and if you've seen the movie, you know what I speak of. You have to love scientist smart beards. The kind where you look at them and you just assume that person is a genius. This is one of those beards, and Brosnan is indeed a genius for growing it for the role. Now if only there had been a bearded Bond...
"Nomads" -- Featuring Pierce Brosnan's beard.
4: Tom Skerritt as Dallas in Alien
When you see the cast of Ridley Scott's Alien, it doesn't take long to guess which one is the captain. It's Tom Skerritt as Captain Dallas. Why is he captain? His motherfucking beard. Dallas had one of those rugged cheek and neck beards that could theoretically grow up to his forehead and down to his tits if he willed it. Fortunately he trimmed it up and earned himself a Number Four spot on the beard list of greatness. While his chances for survival may have been low, his beard will live on forever as one of the greatest bits of facial hair the galaxy has ever seen.
In space, a few people will probably hear you shave.
3: A.J. Bowen as Lewis/Victor in The Signal and The House of the Devil
More than any other actor on this list, when you hear the name A.J. Bowen, you can't think of him without the beard. I credit Bowen and his roles in The Signal and The House of the Devil for bringing the beard back in style. The featured beard in The Signal was so manly and badass that I saw Lewis, rather than Ben, as the hero of the film. Bowen's beard in The House of the Devil was a different beast altogether. When I first saw the film (and the beard), I had a mini Jaws moment where my girlfriend turned to me and said, "That looks like a three-monther" to which I responded with, "Three and a half, two pounds on him." I may be one of five people that finds that hilarious, but regardless, it's a beard that should be praised.
His beard could have been the babysitter.
2: Richard Dreyfuss as Matt Hooper in Jaws
Speaking of Jaws, it should come as no surprise that Matt Hooper is on this list. If my memory is correct, his was the very first beard I ever saw captured on screen, and to this day it is a thing of much envy for me. Richard Dreyfuss not only was able to memorialize himself as one of the greatest characters in cinema history, but his beard acted as its own character. It should have been in the credits, before Richard Dreyfuss. Without that beard, I don't think I'd buy Mr. Hooper as a marine biologist. Which I'm sure is why his character grew the beard in the first place: to get more respect from his elders. Or maybe it was just to keep his face warm in time of scuba diving/finding stray heads in boat hulls.
"I ain't talking about trimmin' goatees or sideburns here, Mr. Hooper. I'm talking about workin' for a living, I'm talkin' about shavin'."
"Yeah, well, I ain't talking about no patchy mess or chin hair either. I'm talking about a great beard."

Whether you've got a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance in your family, or you're simply giving up milk for a while as part of an elimination diet, you may find yourself checking out the rows of dairy free milk substitutes in the grocery store. There are quite a few options available, and most have slightly different properties for drinking and cooking.
Here's a cheat sheet to your options. Just be prepared to sample a variety to figure out which taste suits you best; most are quite distinctive.
Lactose-Free Milk
Lactose-free milk is only suitable for people with lactose intolerance; it contains the same proteins as milk and is just as allergenic for people with dairy allergies.
That said, for people with an intolerance, lactose-free milk is almost indistinguishable from "regular" milk. The lactase enzyme added to regular milk to break down lactose into simpler sugars makes it taste slightly sweeter to most people. Lactose-free milk is available in both conventional and organic varieties.
Goat Milk and Other Ruminant Milk
Goat, sheep, and other ruminant milks contain similar proteins to cow's milk and are considered to have a high degree of cross-reactivity. That means that people with an allergy to cow's milk are likely to react to other ruminant milks, too.
If you or a loved one have a dairy allergy and you're considering trying goat milk (say, drinking it yourself, or giving it to a toddler), consult an allergist first. These milks do contain lactose and are not suitable for those who are lactose-intolerant without prior use of an over-the-counter lactase supplement.
Soy Milk
The most widely available dairy-free milk alternative is soy milk, which can be found both in cartons on supermarket shelves as well as alongside milk in dairy cases. Competition from national brands, like 8th Continent and Silk, has lowered prices across the board, making soy milk one of the more cost-effective milk alternatives.
Soy milk is high in protein, making it an attractive alternative to milk for cooking and baking. Soy itself has a strong, distinctive taste, so make sure you like it before adding it to a sauce or to your favorite cereal.
Nut Milks
Almond milk is among the most common nut milks. Like soy milk, nut milks are high in protein and are useful for baking. You may find their taste blends in with baked goods, coffee, or nutty cereals better than soy milk, although personal tastes vary. Nuts are also high in "good fats" and Vitamin E. One drawback to both soy and nut milk: both of these are common allergens in and of themselves.
Rice Milk
Unlike soy and nut milks, rice milk is not especially allergenic, making it an attractive choice for families concerned about avoiding allergens in young children.
Rice milk, especially vanilla flavored, is quite sweet. But its texture is the most watery of all milk alternatives, and it is not particularly useful for cooking. Being low in protein, it does not make a good nutritional replacement for milk unless heavily fortified. It is best used as a beverage and for pouring on cereal.
Hemp Milk
A newer milk alternative, hemp milk may be difficult to find in some places. Its protein level and texture fall in between that of rice and soy milk. It is more watery than regular milk when poured, but has enough protein for use in some cooking applications - sauces that don't rely on large amounts of protein, for example.
Oat Milk
Like hemp milk, oat milk has a moderate amount of protein, making it more useful than rice milk for cooking. However, it's still not a true drop-in replacement for cow's milk in baking.
Oat milk may not be suitable for those with celiac disease, who may be sensitive to avenin protein found in oats. Oat milk is fairly mild and nutty tasting, and is a natural match for hot cereals and many breakfast foods.

I'm already backed up with shit I need to do, so even when I do get regular strings, I'm going to have to tune to Eb and finish up some Morbid Angel tabs and update older CC/Deicide, plus some other shit I'm working on.
Here's a list of songs I'd like done. You can do one song or all the songs or none of the songs if you don't have the time.
Curse the Gods
Confound Games
Life Without Sense
United by Hatred
Eternal Ban
Upcoming Devastation
Confused Mind
Release from Agony
Dissatisfied Existence
Sign of Fear
Unconscious Ruins
Our Oppression
Survive to Die
I can probably send them to you if you don't have them and want to give it a go. If not, whatever, I'll just wait until I can get around to doing them myself, no biggie.

The American marketplace is becoming increasingly fragmented – it is more and more difficult to talk about an "average" American consumer. While there are still national trends (which SCAN continues to identify), it is critical to examine the marketplace via key subgroups – but how to define key subgroups?
The notion of generations (people grouped by what years they were born) has been a very popular and useful concept for the past 20 years. Each generation is shaped by unique social experiences, technological advancements, historical events and economic circumstances that they carry with them as they age so it makes sense to organize consumers in this way. But is an understanding of the broad generation enough to truly pinpoint marketing insight?
As a result of an exhaustive review of our SCAN data, we believe a very powerful way to organize consumers is via "Gender-ations"
- There are meaningful differences within generations as well as across generations – - gender matters
- And, the intersection of generation with life stage is also critical – - where they are now can modify the experiences and values they have taken with them to date
"…The generation is the fundamental concept of history…It is the generation
which provides the fundamental method for historic investigation."
- Spanish philosopher, Jose Ortega y Gasset, 1921
DYG SCAN® provides an annual "Gender-ations" update.
