Hindu Skunk
Hindu Skunk: Its History and Benefits
Various Marijuana forms like the hash and Kush, find their origins in the Himalayan region. The Hindu Kush, also popularly known as Hindu Skunk, is one major variety of the Kush that's traces back its history to the mighty lands of the fertile Himalayan belts in Afghanistan, Pakistan and parts of India. For a long time now, the region has remained in limelight for its territorial conflicts and cannabis cultivation.
In Fact, the name of the Hindu Kush weed has been derived from one of the world renowned Hindu Kush peaks, where it has been cultivated on the highest point, Chitral since ancient times. It's a luxury even in the modern times to get access to Hindu Skunk weed, for its rarity.
Considered to be one of the most balanced varieties of hybrid weed, the plant produces equal cerebral effects, while relaxing the muscles in the body. This along with the mild high it takes you on is prompting medical science for an increased use of Hindu Kush weed in treating various medical conditions.
Already, many practitioners have started using it for mild pain relief, and treating stress and anxiety. A good muscle relaxant, beside pain relief, it is also useful in treating insomnia and increasing appetite. Medical conditions like glaucoma, asthma, spasticity, nausea and others have been tested to be successfully treated with the help of this weed.
The plant of the Hindu Kush consists of light green medium size buds interspersed with random clusters of orange hair. The light green buds are resinous and its dense flower structure allows easy smoking of the weed. It is flushed with a sweet and fruity fragrance. It is only when you break it open when it exuberates the skunky fragrance.
What most smokers really enjoy about the weed is the earthy Kush taste that is followed by the sweet taste on inhaling. On inhaling, it only produces a very mild strain on the throat and there is not much chance of going into a coughing fit.
As already mentioned it's difficult to get your hands on the rare Hindu Kush, but many people have now started cultivating it at home. You can plant the Hindu Kush seeds, both indoors and outdoors. It grows best indoors, and flowering begins in about 8 weeks, after which you can get anywhere up to 450 grams per plant.
The flowering period lasts up to 50 -60 days, and begins in the month of September. The higher the temperature and humidity, the better the growth will be. Mediums of growing the plant can vary. From soil, to hydroponics and inert mixes, its quick adaptability allows it to sustain in medium.
So, if you think you too suffer from varying degrees of anxiety, insomnia, depression, or mild physical conditions like cramps, and inflammation, then too, you can consult your doctor for the use of Hindu Kush, which has medium lasting and yet provides effective relief against different ailments.
You can also consult experts on how to successfully grow it at home. It's an easy plant to grow and for complete safety, seeking advice would be a good idea.

Deployment can be incredibly stressful and straining on Southern Colorado's military families.
The Pikes Peak American Red Cross offered a free class on Saturday called "Coping with Deployments: Psychological First Aid for Military Families" to address that very issue. The course, offered free of charge, was open to military families of active duty, Reserve and National Guard forces, as well as their families.
The primary goal of the class was to provide pertient information pertaining to mental health issues as well as encourage solid a support system for soldiers. Its curriculum was developed by experts from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, to include active duty, National Guard and Reserve Commands.
"The best thing that a family can do for their service member is to support them in what they have to do. They have to ensure they're strong at home so their service member can be strong overseas," said Jaici Murcia, Director of Volunteer and Emergency Services for the Pikes Peak American Red Cross.

Dickens in Ohio
Thursday, May 8, 7:30 p.m.
Morrill Hall Auditorium
Charles Dickens was the most famous living writer of his time. A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield, and A Christmas Story made him a literary star. In 1842, Dickens embarked on a journey to America and having traveled the length of the Ohio River, he disembarked at Cincinnati and began a journey covering much of the state of Ohio. He traveled to Lebanon and Columbus, then on to Delaware, Upper Sandusky (through Marion), and on to Tiffin and Sandusky on Lake Erie. British actor Roger Jerome's one-man show covers Dickens' experiences in Ohio with the added bonus of 1840s American music.

A black bat flew in the stands Friday night at AT&T Field.
Not a baseball bat into the stands. A winged sort of bat startled a few patrons as Chattanooga Lookouts closer Yimi Garcia closed a 4-3 win over the BayBears in which manager Jody Reed learned a little more about his bullpen and starter Rob Rasmussen.
"We're trying to establish that order, and it's nice if you can get that seven-, eight-, nine-inning guy and everybody has a role," Reed said. "I like Jose [Dominguez] in the setup role, Yimi has been our closer, and Aaron [Miller] has recently gone to the bullpen to get him in a one-inning situation where he can let it go."
Two batted balls into the stands provided most of the game's offense.
Spotted with a 4-1 lead, the bullpen managed to keep the Lookouts (13-21) ahead at the end. Miller relieved Rasmussen and got the first two outs. Then he allowed a walk right before pinch hitter Ryan Stovall laced an opposite-field home run.
But Dominguez pitched to three batters in the eighth inning and Garcia earned his eighth save with a perfect ninth inning.
But they couldn't have done their jobs without an impressive start from Rasmussen, who threw 88 pitches in six innings, walked none, struck out five and allowed one run in the first inning.
"It was a pretty good evening once we got out of that first inning," Rasmussen said. "It's nice when your guys come back and score three, and it's easier to pitch and attack the zone and let them put the ball in play and trust my defense."
The three runs came on a two-run blast by Joc Pederson over the Budweiser Pavilion for his league-leading eighth homer of the year. Yasiel Puig scored on a grounder by C.J. Retherford. Rafael Ynoa doubled to start the third inning and scored on a grounder by Puig.
Rasmussen and the bullpen -- albeit not with a perfect effort but good enough to get the necessary outs -- carried Chattanooga to a celebratory fireworks show.
"Rob has a live arm, he throws it well, and if he can get fastball command down," Reed said, "with that live arm and that movement, he's got a chance to play in the big leagues."

Sky's Sylvia Fowles a reunited center with Pokey Chatman at helm
By Tina Akouris email@example.com May 17, 2011 2:00PM
Sky center Sylvia Fowles will be playing for Pokey Chatman, her college coach at LSU. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times

Updated: June 19, 2011 12:34AM
Sky center Sylvia Fowles cracked a wry smile when asked if there's a certain comfort level playing for Pokey Chatman, who also was her coach at LSU and for Spartak Moscow in Russia.
''I wouldn't say there's too much of a comfort level there because you have to pick your poison with Pokey," Fowles joked Tuesday at the Sky's media day at the Sachs Center in Deerfield. ''The discipline level is definitely different than it had been in previous years.''
So the two are reunited as the Sky finds itself three weeks from the season opener June 4 at Indiana and under some pressure to make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.
Chatman is the Sky's fourth coach/general manager since 2006, the franchise's first season. She replaced Stephen Key, who resigned in October after the Sky finished 14-20 and in last place in the Eastern Conference.
Fowles said she didn't push for Chatman to get the job.
''I don't think I played a role in it, but I did have some say as to what was going on, and I asked a few questions about her,'' Fowles said. ''The comfort level is definitely there, and I know what she wants and how she wants to get it done. All you have to do is abide by those rules, and you won't get kicked out [of practice].''
One of Chatman's first statements was to draft Gonzaga's Courtney Vandersloot with the third overall pick in the WNBA draft last month.
Vandersloot, the first true point guard in Sky history, finished her college career with 2,073 points and 1,118 assists — the first Division I player, male or female, to have more than 2,000 points and 1,000 assists.
''I've only been here for about a week, and I already feel like I've learned a lot,'' Vandersloot said. ''Pokey wants to play a little bit of a faster pace, and that goes right into what I'm used to and my style of play.
''The level of competition is a lot greater, but this is a great place for me to be, and the veterans are willing to help.''
For at least the last three seasons, the 6-6 Fowles has been the Sky's centerpiece. The addition of another high draft pick in Vandersloot could change that status down the road, but not if Chatman has anything to say about it.
''[Don't be] so quick to anoint her the chosen one,'' Chatman said. ''She's thirsty and wants to learn, and I think she will grow into that role. The point guard commands that respect. But she needs her time to transition to this level with the physicality and speed.''

Police are investigating who is responsible for bottle bombs that damaged two mailboxes in Caroline County.
Around 8:20 a.m. Sunday, Virginia State Police bomb technicians responded to the 10000 block of Sunshine School Road to assist the Caroline sheriff's office concerning suspicious damage to two mailboxes, said State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.

"The investigation revealed the two bottles had ruptured, causing minimal damage to the mailboxes," she said.
The joint investigation is ongoing, she said.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact the Caroline County Sheriff's Office's anonymous tip line at 804-63301133 or the Virginia State Police at 804-553-3445.

Provide Pararescue
Air Rescue History
to USAF men and women, past and present,
who go into harms way to save lives.
Their motto is "That Others May Live"
PJ is the
nickname for USAF Pararescuemen. It came into use during the
Vietnam War as an abbreviation for parajumper.
The mission of Pararescue is to save lives during combat rescue,
special operations missions, or humanitarian peacetime operations.
Introduced in 1999 by retired Pararescueman Robert LaPointe, this
site was initially intended to collect information for the
publication of a history book about Pararescue during the Vietnam
War. Within a few months, the concept of the book was revised to
become "The Story of Air Rescue in Vietnam - As seen through the
eyes of Pararescuemen." The research site concept also expanded to
become a site to tell the history of America's warriors in Air
Rescue, Special Operations, and of course Pararescue. A successful
Search & Rescue missions involves many other groups and you will
also find information about them here.
2000, a subweb was added to include information about Pararescue
history after the Vietnam War. Following the 2001 attack on
America, another subweb was added to provide information about the
PJs and other personnel fighting in that war. In 2008, a
memorial page for PJs killed in the line of duty was begun.
Eventually, this memorial will be expanded to include all rescue
personnel killed in the line of duty.

were sold and there are presently no plans to print additional
copies. A second book (volume 2) will cover the rest of the war.
Work is
presently underway to complete volume two.
The book

was released in September 2006.
It quickly sold out. In late

Weird day
I started the day out getting ready to go to my mom's to help prepare snacks for tomorrow when all the family will be at her house. When I got to my car I saw the glove box and console open and things pulled out, I thought I locked it last night. I'm thankful that we did not leave anything valuable in there, I'm always forgetting something.
Then there were police crawling all over the parking lot and convenience store next door to my building, there was a robbery. Later in the afternoon while heading to the store one more time I passed my son's former girlfriends complex and it is surrounded by police with weapons. Seems from what I've read so far the same person robbed the store here, robbed a produce stand up the street, then holed up with weapons in this other complex. I called my son and he went to check on the girl and her little one, he said they are fine and were evacuated to the church across the street. What a mess.
My daughter was away on a trip, she came home today and had a lot of issues with a girl she went with and then her iTouch was stolen from the cabin they shared. We don't have a lot of income, that was something really special to her that she took good care of, I can't afford to run out and get her another one. Some of the chaperones searched the room, but did not go through belongings, supposedly they are bringing it up at the next meeting. Lovely, Girl Scouts sure have changed.
How crazy!!! I hope your dd gets it back!!! Hopefully things will calm down for you
The guy was finally smoked out, literally, with tear gas and no one was hurt.

Confidential 6
Confidential Statement to the IFTU Executive from Comrade Largo Caballero.
At the IFTU meeting held in Paris on the 7th and 8th December, 1937 to deal with the internal conflict within the Union General de Trabajadores de España, which was attended by representatives from the two Executives of the UGT, it was agreed that an IFTU delegation, composed of Citrine, Jouhaux and Schevenels, should go to Spain and try to get the two Executives of the UGT to arrive themselves at a solution. In the contrary case, the IFTU was to propose a formula of agreement.
The IFTU informed the UGT that neither Citrine nor Schevenels would be able to go to Spain, so that Jouhaux would go alone, arriving at Barcelone on Monday, 27th December, and that the first meeting would be held on the same day at 10.0.a.m.
Jouhaux arrived in Barcelona not on Monday but on Sunday, and took part in a demonstration held in Barcelona on the fall of Teruel.
On Monday and Tuesday, the two Executives met together, with Jouhaux in the chair, and more or less the same arguments which had been put forward in Paris were repeated. In reality, these were meetings of information. Jouhaux's proposal was finally accepted, this being to convene a meeting of the enlarged National Council, which, in addition to the representatives of national Unions, would be attended also by representatives from the provincial Trades Councils. In those provinces where no Trades Council exists, a representative would be appointed from the provincial branch of the most important Union (Landworkers) and another from the local branch of the most important industrial Union. It was agreed that this meeting should be held in Valencia on Sunday, 2nd January, 1938.
The representatives invited were present at Valencia on the 2nd January, having had to expend much effort and run great dangers to get there, because of the very heavy snow which had fallen all over Spain.
Jouhaux proposed the following procedure: on Sunday morning, up till 1.0.p.m., there would be a meeting of information; then a committee of four (two delegates from each side) would be appointed to find a formula. At 5.0. p.m. the enlarged National Council would meet to discuss the formula drafted and to vote if necessary, because at midnight Jouhaux had to leave Valencia in order to be in Paris on Thursday.
In the morning meeting, there were a certain number of speakers. Jouhaux proposed that the Sub-committee be composed of Vega and del Rosal from one side and Pascual Tomas and Zabalza from the other. This Committee held a meeting with Jouhaux in the evening, but at 7.0.p.m., when the National Council was waiting for the text, the news came that the meeting had been postponed till nine o'clock.
What had happened in this Sub-committee? Vega and del Rosal had insisted that there was no other legitimate Executive than the one they represented, which was recognised by the government, etc. The only thing they agreed to was that three members of the other Executive, representing the Unions of Landworkers, Metal Workers and Transport Workers, should be added to this Executive. They immediately raised the question of the elimination of Caballero. Pascual Tomas and Zabalza did not accept the veto against Caballero and refused to take part in any discussion as long as this veto was maintained. In their turn, they made two proposals, either to fill the five vacant positions in the old

What to Wear on New Year's Eve
Though you're dying to debut a new look for New Year's Eve, that sexy designer dress—not to mention new shoes to match—will push you far over your monthly budget. The more frugal but equally fun solution this year is to work with what you've got. Start by selecting a classic piece from your well-loved work wardrobe. Then dress it up for your New Year's Eve fete with party-perfect accessories. (What you don't have on hand already, you'll easily be able to buy at stores that won't break the bank.)

Businesses today are faced with the critical need to ensure the availability and continuous operation of their business systems in spite of potential failures ranging from disk crashes and CPU failures to catastrophic losses of their computing facilities or communications networks, and planned downtime for maintenance. Many companies also have geographically dispersed data centers, that need information available across those data centers, particularly when a data center has an outage, planned or unplanned.
With many companies moving to e-commerce, it is even more critical to ensure availability. Web customers expect businesses to be up and running all of the time. If they aren't, another vendor or supplier is only a click away. Most of today's disaster recovery strategies are not well suited to meet the stringent business requirements of 24 X 7 availability. Beyond the need of mission criticality and customer expectations, any downtime hurts the bottom line of an online business.
While solutions exist to provide tolerance to component failure, the issue of site loss is often overlooked, with potentially dire consequences due to business interruption and loss of information. While off-site tape dumps have traditionally satisfied the requirements for disaster recovery for batch systems, they are typically inadequate for protecting the information in On-line Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems and e-business. Asynchronous replication facilities can provide continuous duplication of critical OLTP and e-business application information to off-site backup facilities without the high latency inherent in tape backup strategies. Once established, such an environment can be automated to ensure that information is replicated in a timely manner and the switch to backup systems accomplished with minimal business interruption. e-Businesses must provide an even higher degree of availability. They must find a solution to provide continuous availability of their systems or risk losing business.
High Availability should address availability of data in three areas:
1. Manage Planned Downtime (e.g., routine maintenance downtime, software upgrades etc.),
2. Protect during Unplanned Downtime (machine/network outages),
3. Provide Disaster Recovery. Any system providing HA services should provide continuous availability of data in all three scenarios.
Replication Server offers data availability in all three scenarios by providing a standby system.

The Foodtourist Guide to Breakfast in Australia
We are always searching for the perfect breakfast. When travelling it is wonderful to start the day with a perfect coffee, some fresh fruit juice and an interesting breakfast dish. Unfortunately these are few and far between!
So we decided to assemble a list of some of our favourite breakfast places - the ones we regularly return to on our travels within Australia.
Reuben Hills
In Sydney we always stay in Surry Hills due to the vibrant food scene there. The day always starts with a trip to Reuben Hills to enjoy breakfast in the cavernous space below their coffee roastery. The coffee is excellent and the staff are always eager to suggest a blend to suit the style of coffee you prefer. And the food is very good, with the 'not Reuben sandwich' a perfect dish to help recover from the previous night's excesses.61 Albion St, Surry Hills, NSW
Cumulus Inc
Mornings in Melbourne invariably see us heading to Cumulus Inc for a strong coffee and their signature breakfast dish of Shakshouka which is baked eggs with roasted peppers and shanklish or the light and delicious watermelon and strawberry salad. The service here is always very professional and efficient.45 Flinders Lane, Melbourne
GreenHouse Perth
Greenhouse Perth is committed to ethically sourced food. They also demonstrate that such food does not have to compromise on flavour. A dish of organic brown rice with shredded pork, kim chi and a deep fried egg is both deeply flavoursome and a very satisfying way of starting the day. The coffee is also very good as are the freshly squeezed juices.100 St Georges Terrace, Perth
Mocan and Green Grout
Mocan and Green Grout is a cool little café in the rather pleasant new development in New Acton in Canberra. The café features ethically sourced produce such as fair trade coffee, free range eggs from Temora, fresh water trout from Tumut and sustainable seafood from the NSW south coast. It is a very pleasant environment and the food is cooked with skill and care. The service is also very professional and friendly.Read more about Mocan and Green Grout 1/19 Marcus Clarke St
Silo Bakery
Silo Bakery in a suburban shopping centre in Canberra is also an ACT favourite. We have enjoyed breakfast here on dozens of occasions over a long period of time and have always been impressed with how the same owners have maintained their high standards over the years.Read more about Silo Bakery 36 Giles Street Kingston ACT
Tricycle Cafe
Tricycle Cafe and Bar is a delightful venue housed in one of the striking sandstone warehouses that line Salamanca Place in Hobart. The food is excellent and the coffee some of the best in town. Try the breakfast trifle or the fluffy scrambled eggs.
Small Print
Brookfield Place has turned dining and drinking in Perth on its head. The Print Hall now dominates this space, but tucked away downstairs is a quiet little haven where some absolutely excellent coffee and nice pastries are being served throughout the day. This is a very good place for that early morning heart starter. The coffee is roasted on site.Brookfield Place, 125 St George's Tce., Perth, WA

1. Apples: No matter which type you choose, apples are nutritional powerhouses loaded with fiber, flavonoids and important antioxidants. And studies show they may help you shed pounds, too. Chop or grate Granny Smith apples into oatmeal or whole grain waffles with cinnamon for a breakfast reminiscent of fall's famed apple crisp (Denny's version, for example, weighs in at 740 calories compared to about 180 calories for oatmeal with apples and cinnamon). Another option: fold apple cubes into chicken salad with toasted walnuts and celery.
Do your jeans feel a little snug as the weather turns cooler? We asked Tara Mataraza Desmond, author of Almost Meatless- Recipes That Are Better For Your Health & the Planet, to weigh in with her favorite "skinny" fall foods -- and how to prepare them.
2. Pears: Pears are loaded with slimming fiber and they're a good source of vitamin C and copper -- both of which help protect cells from damage. Plus, they're sweet and tasty to boot! Slice and roast pears and serve with lean pork tenderloin or atop arugula salad. Another option: core, peel and blend pears with balsamic vinegar and a swirl of olive oil for a sweet, fragrant vinaigrette. Yum!
3. Pumpkin: Pumpkin is ridiculously low in calories (one-half cup of pumpkin puree is only 50 calories), but it's also loaded with potassium, beta-carotene and Vitamin A. Plus, studies show that pumpkin prevents cancer, heart disease and protects eye health. Use unsweetened pumpkin puree in soups, sauces for pasta and even macaroni and cheese! Toss with shredded, roasted or poached chicken as a filling for enchiladas.
4. Squash: Winter squash including acorn, butternut and spaghetti squash all have their own nutritional benefits (acorn is loaded with fiber, potassium and iron; butternut boasts vitamin A and carotenoids; and spaghetti squash is very low in calories -- just 42 calories per cup). What to do with this fall staple? Cube butternut squash and add to spicy vegetarian chili. Slice acorn squash into rounds (leave skin on), brush both sides with olive oil and roast on a baking sheet until tender. Halve spaghetti squash, roast and then pull out the spaghetti string strands with a fork. Yum!

Former Bad Boy Records artist Shyne will reportedly resurrect the late souls of Notorious B.I.G. and Boby Marley in a new song called "Belize."
Based on reports, the track is set to premiere online tomorrow.
Shyne is ready to get back in the spotlight and tomorrow XXLMag.com will be world premiering the formerly incarcerated MC's new song, named after his South American homeland, "Belize" Featuring posthumous appearances from former Bad Boy label mate The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and Bob Marley, "Belize" finds Shyne Po rhyming over a laid back sample of the reggae legend's track, "Sun is Shining." (XXL Mag)
In fall 2009, Diddy recalled hip-hop fans always comparing Shyne to B.I.G.
"I've never had any problem with him, I was looking forward to him coming home and just getting out here and letting people see what I saw. I think it was cut down too early, people never got a chance to see what I saw. The thing that bugs me out is people forget what was going on at the time, y'all was throwing so many stones at me telling me how Shyne sounded like Biggie. All the cats up here at [New York radio station Hot 97] was throwing stones at me and I was telling them, 'Nah, the kid got something special.' At the end of the day, when everybody go to jail, a lot of people jump on the bandwagon and it was beyond that to me." (Hot 97)
Prior to being deported to Belize last November, Shyne was held by immigration for nearly a month.
His release is now under review, as representatives for the rapper revealed that the Brooklyn MC is being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at an unspecified facility in Western New York State. Officials are determining whether or not to deport the rapper, who was born in Belize, a rep explained. "Shyne is currently in federal custody while his future immigration status is determined," the rep said in a message to MTV News. Shyne attorney Oscar Michelen emphasized to MTV News on Tuesday afternoon that Shyne has not been released, contrary to media reports. (MTV)
Last February, Island Def Jam CEO LA Reid revealed that Shyne would be signing a record deal with his company.
"I have come here to stand by Shyne and to officially kick off our partnership with Island Def Jam Music Group and Gangland Records and so it is really an honour to be here, really very special place. I am here because great people are worthy of travelling many many miles for it and I come here to say that your country is great and I hope you guys know that this is a great man from your country who deserves this kind of respect and who deserves this kind of support. So that is why we are here." (7 News Belize)

Georgia State kicker Christian Benvenuto (33) kicks a field goal as Nathaniel Minor (87) holds during the first quarter of an NCAA college football game against Tennessee on Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012, in Knoxville, Tenn.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
KNOXVILLE -- A few minutes after Georgia State's 51-13 loss to Tennessee on Saturday evening, Carolyn Curry raised her hand a foot or so from her husband's face, as if to elicit a soft and sympathetic high-five from the Panthers coach.
Instead, Bill Curry pulled her hand close and kissed it, then broke into a small but affectionate smile.
As always, the 69-year-old coach had his priorities in perfect order.
"It takes a lot to build a quality football team," said Curry, who started the GSU program from scratch four years ago and will retire at the end of this season. "And now I see that it takes a lot more than I thought it did."
Saturday's game went the way most thought it would, including, apparently, nearly 15,000 UT fans who stayed home.
But even Saturday's loss would have a hard time topping Curry's personal worst moment at Neyland Stadium.
"It was 1960," he said. "I was on the Georgia Tech freshman team and we were playing at Tennessee. Jim Carlen (who would later coach at West Virginia, Texas Tech and South Carolina) was our coach.
"With about three minutes left, our quarterback, Billy Lothridge -- who would go on to finish second in the 1963 Heisman Trophy [to Roger Staubach] -- gets hit hard by Ed Beard. Maybe it was clean and maybe it wasn't, but I thought Beard was trying to hurt my teammate, and I got into a fight with him and got kicked out.
"I was the only long snapper we had and Carlen's screaming at me, 'Now we're going to lose because we don't have anybody to hike the ball!' We did win, though. But when I got back to campus, Coach [Bobby] Dodd was waiting at the bus. He said, 'Let's not do that again.'"
Not that it's all been bad for Curry in Knoxville. The Yellow Jackets team he played on in 1963 won there. The 1985 Georgia Tech team he coached tied the Vols, 6-6. Then there was his 1988 Alabama squad, which provided Curry his happiest moment in Neyland, though he didn't expect it when the game began.
"We had David Smith at quarterback that year and he had a bad knee," he recalled. "Well, early in the game he hurts his knee and he limps off the field and I figure that's it for him. He was a skinny little thing anyway -- he looked like a choir boy -- and I just didn't think there was any way he could come back.
"So I walk over to him and tell him that I really appreciated him trying and we'd just have to win it without him. Well, David looks at me and says, 'Coach, I'm fine. And I know what to do to win this game.' And we did win it (28-20). To this day, [offensive coordinator] Homer Smith and I say that's as gutty a performance as we've ever seen in college football."
If his Panthers didn't deliver one of the best performances in college history Saturday, they did deliver one of the most determined, right down to calling two timeouts in the final minute, much to the consternation of UT's remaining fans, who loudly booed.
"We will never allow an asset to go unused," Curry said of those late TOs. "If the fans are late getting to their cocktail party, I apologize to them, but we'll do it every time ... to teach a lesson to the guys that you never give up."
From leadership such as that do wives look to high-five their husbands after 38-point losses.

Today's dharma quote is yet another from the Vidyādhara, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939-1987), whom I first quoted and wrote a little bio for here. This is it:
In the scriptures, a crazy-wisdom person is described as "He who subdues whatever needs to be subdued and destroys whatever needs to be destroyed." Whatever your neurosis demands, when you relate with a crazy-wisdom person, you get hit with that. Crazy wisdom presents you with a mirror reflection. A mirror will not compromise with you. If you don't like what you see, there's no point in blaming the mirror.

Elder David A. Bednar
In May of 1829, the Prophet Joseph Smith and his scribe, Oliver Cowdery, were anxiously engaged in the work of translating the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
As they translated and learned about the necessity of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, Joseph and Oliver went into the woods here, along the banks of the Susquehanna River, to pray and to inquire of the Lord concerning this sacred ordinance.
In answer to their petition, John the Baptist—now a resurrected being—was sent to restore the Aaronic, or preparatory, Priesthood, to the earth. The heavenly messenger explained that he was acting under the direction of Peter, James, and John—the ancient Apostles who held the keys of the higher priesthood.
John the Baptist placed his hands upon the heads of Joseph and Oliver and conferred upon them the sacred priesthood authority necessary to act in the name of Jesus Christ. Having received the authority, Joseph and Oliver were directed to be baptized, and they obeyed.
The coming of John the Baptist was a first step in the process of restoring the priesthood to the earth. A short time later, Peter, James, and John were sent by the Savior to Joseph and Oliver and conferred upon them the Melchizedek Priesthood—the greater authority through which all spiritual blessings are administered—and ordained them Apostles.
In time, other heavenly messengers bestowed upon Joseph additional priesthood keys. Once again, the pattern of servants and leaders being called by Jesus Christ and ordained by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority had been established on the earth.
By virtue of the holy priesthood, ordinances are performed and blessings are bestowed in the name of Jesus Christ, and with His authorization, for the salvation of men and women. Through the priesthood, that which is bound on earth is bound in heaven, and that which is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven.
In the ordinances of the Savior's gospel and the authority of His priesthood, the power of godliness is made manifest to us all.
The principles and events I have described are true. I declare my apostolic witness that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ, our living Redeemer and Savior.
Priesthood authority, keys, and saving ordinances are again found on the earth that enable you and me to receive the joyous blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The heavens are not closed. God speaks to us individually and to the world through the authorized leaders of His latter-day kingdom upon the earth.
Of these things I testify, in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Trailer Round-up: REC 3, TWILIGHT, RISE OF THE GUARDIANS, TOTAL RECALL, THE DICTATOR
Huge fan of the first film, which TERRIFIED me, and really enjoyed the first half of the second. I was, however, massively disappointed by the sequel's conclusion. The teenagers that show up halfway through are hands down some of the most irritating kids I've ever seen in a horror film, and I've seen a lot of irritating kids in horror films. The concept and trailer for this third part looks really good though, and it'll be interesting to see how things will change now they're out of the apartment block. And if there isn't a scene where a priest says, "You may now kill the bride," they're missing a trick (I am available for screenwriting work).
There will be a new Anchorman
*ANCHORMAN HIPSTER BOAST ALERT* I saw Anchorman on it's original release, in a cinema with about five other people in it, and like everyone else I laughed my arse off. It's a really funny film.
Then I went to university, and I witnessed first-hand the brutally contagious practice of Anchorman quoting. Did you know it's actually a legal requirement if you're a registered student to have an Anchorman quote somewhere on your Facebook page?
I'm a little bit Anchorman-ned out, then, but that said the clip above still put a big smile on my face. As for the prospect of a sequel...eh. McKay and Ferrel are very funny men, and I know they've got the potential in them to make something really surreal and unique (like the first film), but the pressure from the studio to retread old ground and do lots of fan service is place of actual funny stuff must be pretty big.
That cast will be expensive now though, eh? Ferrell, Carrell, Rogen (he has a bit part), and Rudd alone are bona fide movie stars now. The budget won't matter though, as it'll be an enormous hit whatever it costs.
By the way, did you know James Franco turned down a starring role in the original Anchorman to star in a film with Sean Penn, even though his role was cut down and he was overlooked by the Oscars? Yeah…
*leans on mic stand*
…MILK was a bad choice.

THE KID WITH A BIKE review
This glorious little piece of neo-realism from the Dardennes is a film that follows in the erstwhile tradition of SON OF RAMBOW, STAND BY ME, THIS IS ENGLAND and THE 400 BLOWS in its unsentimental portrait of looming adolescence for troubled young men. Out today, it's up against some pretty stiff competition in THE HUNGER GAMES and the forthcoming PIRATES, but I'm hoping it doesn't get lost in the mire – it's easily the Dardennes' most accessible film, and I think it probably has the potential to become a cross-over hit if given the chance.
From my LFF review:
Cyril is, essentially, a Bad Kid – he attacks and insults people with a frequency and a ferocity that is startling – but as played by Doret he is an immensely watchable screen presence. His tiny, fragile frame and angelic features play in stark contrast to his anti-social behaviour, and as the film progresses we see that, much like Antoine in THE 400 BLOWS, the Kid just can't catch a break. And when he's subjected to some intense emotional abuse in the film (which is often), his gruff exterior dissolves into hurt, uncomprehending confusion in a way that is utterly believable and totally heartbreaking .It's in these moments that we see that instead of being an inherently bad seed, it's more that there's something about Cyril's nature and background that makes his peers and elders assume he's trouble: as a result, it's suggested that his abrasive nature is ultimately the result of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA review
Today finally sees the UK release of ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA, a huge, difficult film and a quiet, unassuming masterpiece. It's demanding in ways that even most arthouse films try to avoid now, but its rewards are ultimately huge.
It's also the most heartfelt and nakedly spiritual mediation on the big stuff – death, faith, fidelity, family, duty – since THE TREE OF LIFE, with photography that's nearly as good (and in places actually exceeding it, like in the awe-inspiring opening shot pictured above), and even finds time to add moments of comic relief that are actually funny.
A must see then, and a good palette cleanser before the ever-engulfing blockbuster season starts taking over the movieplexes.
From my LFF review:
The prefix "Once upon a time…" suggests an epic, violent drama in the vein of Leone's films of the same name, but in reality ANATOLIA provides nothing of the sort. There are nods to Westerns (there are moments reminiscent of the more elegiac moments in THE WILD BUNCH, of all films), and some of the static, widescreen photography is easily the equal of anything Leone came up with. But there is very little violence or machismo on display, and revenge, justice and redemption are unlikely prospects for all involved.
So what kind of film exactly is ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANATOLIA? On the surface of it, it's one of the most thorough police procedurals ever made, and probably one of most realistic. We see every dead end, every uncomfortable car journey, and every police report dictated and replicated in intricate detail. Paradoxically however, the more detailed the film's portrayal of police work becomes, the less concerned it seems with the murder investigation itself.

text: The 19-year-old private pilot and three passengers in a Cessna 172P, which had 40 gallons of fuel on board, were on final approach to runway 36 after a 30 minute flight. The pilot reported that everything "seemed normal" until the airplane was about 50 feet above ground level (agl). He reported, "It felt like wind gusts were pushing me off the runway to the left." The pilot executed a go-around by pushing in the throttle, raising the flaps 1 notch, and gradually raising the airplane's pitch attitude. He reported that the airplane did not respond and it kept losing altitude. He reported that the airplane stalled and subsequently nosed over when the propeller impacted the terrain about 20 feet from the runway. The pilot and passengers exited the airplane through the front windshield without injuries. The airport manager reported that the airport's office was closed since it was after 5 PM, and he was out walking the dogs. He observed the airplane approaching from the south and landing on runway 36 even though the winds were out of the south. He reported that pilot attempted to go-around when the airplane was about 15 feet agl. He reported that the airplane stalled as it attempted to climb at low airspeed with a tailwind component. The airplane impacted the terrain and nosed over. The occupants had already exited the airplane when he arrived with a fire extinguisher. When he got back to the office, he noted that the winds were 220 degrees at 12 knots. The time of the accident was 1710. He reported that the airport's wind "T" and windsock were visible to the pilot. The pilot reported that the accident could have been prevented had he done the following:1. Known the exact weather and forecast weather en route and at the destination.2. Thoroughly calculated the Weight and Balance for the flight.3. Made quicker and smarter decisions.4. Made sure the Carburetor Heat was OFF on final approach.

Ed Miliband made some massive mistakes on identity in his speech yesterday. Or was that geography? This, for example (the bold is mine):
Of course, there are economic and political arguments advanced for Scottish separatism.
But even though they often don't admit it, the logic of the nationalists' case goes beyond politics and the economy.
It insists that the identification with one of our nations is diminished by the identity with our country a whole.
After all, they want to force people to choose.
To be Scottish or British.
Personally, I don't see it. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or just the United Kingdom if you will (yes, OK – some would even abbreviate this to Britain), is a political union of varying degrees of happiness which has muddled along as such unions might. The British Isles on the other hand, and perhaps rather more controversially, is a geographical reality which also includes the Irish Republic. If Mr Miliband is saying that a Scotland which chooses no longer to be a part of the political union that is the UK then misses out on the opportunity to claim its identity as both Scottish and British because it no longer pledges allegiance to London, we are clearly in the presence of a curious confusion between geography and politics which hardly helps clarify anything.
Perhaps, even more sadly though, it also reveals an unhappy understanding of the right London-based politicos reserve for themselves when defining the limits of identity itself.
Yet identity is not just a question of politics and history – those areas of knowledge which people who make and shake nations so delight in.
There is surely a third dimension which I would argue is just as important: that of place. And place belongs to everyone, whether educated or not; whether powerful or humble. Place was there before history and politics started; place will remain when we all have gone.
This is why Ed Miliband is wrong to conflate the UK with being British. If he doesn't understand the difference, he shouldn't be talking about it. If he does understand the difference, then he is obfuscating deliberately.
If the Scots so choose, they can be both British and Scottish and outside the United Kingdom. It's the lawyerly politicians who prefer not to see that politics and history and laws can be far more easily changed than the land which lies outside their codifications.
Miliband didn't get it all wrong, though. He is far more useful – though still revealingly inexact – in the following description of London's role in all this antagonism:
There are some people who say that this English identity should be reflected in new institutions.
But I don't detect a longing for more politicians.
For me, it's not about an English Parliament or an English Assembly.
The English people don't yearn for simplistic constitutional symmetry.
Our minds don't work in spreadsheets, just like our streets don't follow grids.
But there is a real argument here which does unite England, Scotland and Wales:
And that is about the centralisation of power in London.
This resentment is felt in many parts of England.
A sense that our politics is too distant.
Too detached.
Curious how he says our minds don't work in spreadsheets when this generation of politicians works with nothing else; curious how he argues that politics is centralised in London to its detriment and in the same breath criticises constitutional symmetry for being simplistic.
He says we don't want more politicians; he doesn't say we might not want more of the politicians we've got. He argues that our politics is too detached without admitting that the reality is actually that it's far too attached to certain powerful and wealthy interests.
He says England doesn't need new institutions; he refuses to recognise that the United Kingdom as a whole has corrupted the ones it already has.
Yes, Mr Miliband. London is the problem. You're right about that. But you're wrong to assume that being together through continued inertia is necessarily the answer. The answer for the kind of politician you represent lies in making the Union so attractive that no one would ever contemplate leaving. The problem is that London-based politicians have – quite fatally of late – failed to achieve this essential feat.
No wonder some of us want to leave. Not our land, which will always remain where it is. Rather, our politics, which is manifestly unfit for purpose. Even to the point that it doesn't understand the difference between it and our geography.
For if the Scots end up leaving the Union, it's not the land they'll be shrugging off but the politics.
And if Ed Miliband wants to be taken seriously in this debate, and wants to seriously pursue a long-lasting solution, he really does need to properly remember this.

Since 2001, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl has showcased the nation's premier high school football talent. The level of play in these games has demanded the absolute highest levels of mental, emotional and physical strengths for those participating. The expansive and continually growing list of prominent alumni featured in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl's history stands as proof of this strength and the extraordinary level of competition. Some of the most notable All-American alumni include: Adrian Peterson, Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow, 2012 #1 NFL Draft Pick Andrew Luck, Marcus Lattimore and Robert Woods among many more.
As of the start of NFL training camps, there are more than 200 U.S. Army All-American Bowl alumni on NFL rosters. During the 2013 NFL Draft, a record eight U.S. Army All-Americans were selected in the first round. An incredible total of 79 U.S. Army All-Americans have been selected in the past three NFL Drafts. More and more U.S. Army All-Americans enter the NFL each season as the Army All-American Bowl continues to produce some of the game's brightest stars on its biggest stage.

Blanche Ely High School | FL
- Peterson first gained national acclaim as a junior at the U.S. Army National Combine, where he was named Defensive MVP. Peterson's senior season saw similar success, as he was named to both the Parade and USA Today All-American teams. Additionally, Peterson was named USA Today Defensive Player of the Year.
College: Louisiana State University
- Peterson was a mainstay in the LSU defensive backfield beginning his freshman year, starting four contests in 2008 and earning an All-SEC slot as a sophomore in 2009. However, this was just a prelude to a monstrous junior season. Peterson was a consensus All-SEC and All-American pick and was tabbed by SEC coaches as the conference's Special Teams and Defensive Player of the Year. Nationally, Peterson won the Thorpe (best defensive back) and Bednarik (best defensive player) Awards.
