Trick or Treat. I'm not here, am I? Because I've gone to post on ArtEpicurean for pre-Halloween fun. Please follow me over there for a delicious treat, my beloved cocoa shortbread cookies tricked out in Halloween costumes. Usually, I don't break out this recipe until Christmas, but I wanted to do something special for Jane, a woman after my own heart who posts recipes inspired by or accompanied by paintings.
I'll give you a thumbnail of the cookie painting, but please go visit Jane's blog for the recipe. You won't be sorry. Just click on the link that says ArtEpicurean in the first paragraph if you haven't done so already, or scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and click ArtEpicurean in my links section. We'll save you some cookies.
P.S. I have to be away early this morning through late afternoon. If something goes wrong with the link, please use your initiative and Google "Art Epicurean" to get your recipe. I'll check in as soon as I can — before 6 PM PST. — Sharyn
P.P.S. The link in the first paragraph works now, thanks to Sally B. Sorry that it failed earlier.

Sodomy first degree charges face a Flat Rock, Ala., man.
According to a Jackson County Sheriff's Office release, Eugene Gilbert, 54, of Flat Rock was arrested Thursday in connection to an Oct. 3 incident in Bryant, Ala.
The release states that "in the early morning hours" of Oct. 3, deputies were dispatched to Bryant, where an unnamed 17-year-old male was reportedly the victim of sodomy.
In Alabama, sodomy first degree is a class A felony. The charge stems from an incident where one of three criteria are met.
According to findlaw.com, either a person "engages in deviate sexual intercourse with another person by forcible compulsion," a person "engages in deviate sexual intercourse with a person who is incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless or mentally incapacitated" or a person "being 16 years old or older, engages in deviate sexual intercourse with a person who is less than 12 years old."
Gilbert is currently being held at Jackson County jail, and his bond is set at $25,000.

Hey, I'm making this journal mainly for myself to keep me motivated and keep track of my progress, aswell as anyone who cares to pop in here
I've always been the smallest guy, the skinniest guy. The one who got seen as a bit of a joke. I'm now 21, still small (5'5) which I can't change, and still 125lbs.. That I can change.
I've decided to give Rippetoe's SS a go, I've been reading about and watching videos on it for around 3 weeks and it looks like it's just the thing I need to get kickstarted. I will be doing exactly what Rippetoe perscribes, with the 3 day split, Workout A,2 days off, Workout B.
Supplements I'm taking atm only consist of 100% whey, which I will be taking post workout (1 scoop)
Overall Goal?
To get bigger, to get stronger.. continued.
Prior to this I have never seen the inside of a gym before. I joined last week, underwent an induction and then went back later on in the week to familiarize myself with the equipment.
My weights are odd numbers because they are converted from KG
Today was my first day on Rippetoe and this is where I start:
(I do not count w/u's)
Workout A
Squat 3x5 - 103lbs
Bench 3x5 - 77lbs
Deadlift 1x5 - 100lbs
Workout Overview
When I got in the gym was pretty empty which was great, I warmed up for 5mins on treadmill because I was freezing outside, then I got straight on with it, started with my squat warmups and graduated to working sets, same with bench.. When I did my deadlifts however I got interupted by someone else who was there who was correcting me on my form. He said I shouldn't be putting the weight on the floor between reps, infact I shouldn't be lowering it below my knees.. He showed/explained to me how I should be doing it and he suggested I stand up straight with the bar in my hands at arms length.. stick my bum out, bend my knees and lower the bar to just above my knee, then straighten up again. This confused me because I thought the whole point of a deadlift was to start and finish each rep from a 'dead weight' Anyway I realise he was trying to help me and doesn't want me to injur myself but it made me feel a little uncomfy for some reason, I can't think why.. but it did..

In reality, a Nigerian attorney named Ibrahim Musa Abdullahi created it based on chants he heard in the country's capital. Mosley did help create a massive social media presence on the issue, but people are not pleased by her dishonesty. Meanwhile, as that quarrel rages on, the Nigerian government is seemingly stagnant and has yet to share any specifics on what they're doing to rescue the girls. [Wall Street Journal] Keep reading »

Another great article by Brian Saner. Just a couple tips for playing a foot stomper:
1. If you're going for a bass drum sound, you'll need to plug your stomper into some sort of pre-amp. I use a BBE Sonic Stomp pedal (settings Low 100%, Process 0%). It's then fed into a classic MXR noise gate because piezos can be hissy. I've used this setup for big shows and had sound guys tell me my stomper sounded better than most pro bass drums.
2. Cut a rubber mat to size and glue/staple it to the bottom. These suckers move around a bit. Another option is to add guitar strap buttons to each side and tether the stomper around your stool (if you sit to play).
SEE YOU ALL AT THE PENNSYLVANIA CIGAR BOX GUITAR FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND!!! I'll be on stage at 3pm, and yes, I'll be using my foot stomper.

Q: What are good business practices for outsourcing?
Wright: Best practices for an offshore outsourcing engagement include:
Addressing intellectual property issues up front
Defining clear service-level agreements
Implementing non-disclosure agreements
Identifying on-site and offshore project owners, process champions, and quality owners
Recommending organizational changes, if needed
Planning for employee issues
Anticipating cultural differences
Implementing good vendor governance processes
Planning for disaster recovery and business continuity
Doing up-front risk assessment
Implementing robust change management
Assuring physical and network security.
Wright: Planning for employee issues is a key priority of any outsourcing engagement. While there isn't enough space to address this
issue here, up-front planning is necessary to minimize the impact of outsourcing on existing employees.
Q: What do regulatory agencies say about outsourcing?
Wright: This is probably the area of greatest concern for life sciences firms, but there really are no regulatory restrictions to
using offshore facilities. If a company's validated system development and testing procedures meet FDA requirements, it really
doesn't matter where the work is done as long as the correct procedures are rigorously followed.
Q: What about compliance with 21 CFR Part 11?
Wright: For IT solutions requiring 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, it's important to partner with an outsourcing provider with significant
life sciences experience who has up-to-date regulatory experience and high-level certified processes. The vendor should not
only know how to implement compliant systems but should be qualified to advise on the regulations. The same consideration
applies to HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley regulations.
Q: Do you recommend that life sciences companies use IT offshoring?
Wright: Yes! And those who move first will achieve a significant competitive advantage. But vendor selection is critical. The key
to success is local vendor staff with substantial domain experience. They should remain engaged in the project throughout
and should be coupled with highly qualified offshore technical resources to lower the project cost.

Title: Great costume
Date: Oct 28, 2010
This is a good costume. The only issue is that the top is a bit too small. I can pull it down and attach it to the pants with a safety pin to compensate though. I ordered the 12-14 size. I think overall it's a good costume. We had a very positive experience with our order through Celebrate Express and we got our order before it said we would. (We did pay the $3.95 for shipping to get it early but it was even earlier than that.)

Yesterday's telegrams show that the fate of the Titanic is beyond doubt. The giant liner now lies in the bed of the North Atlantic at a depth probably of two miles and her loss constitutes the most appalling shipping disaster in the history of the world.
The vessel carried in all 2,358 persons. The total survivors are officially declared at New York to be 868, so that it would appear that the number who have perished reaches the awful figure of 1,490.
The terrible calamity has caused the greatest consternation throughout the world, and great sympathy is expressed with the bereaved. A large number of the crew resided in Southampton and district, but at least twenty belong to Belfast and the North of Ireland.
Washington messages announce that President Taft yesterday afternoon issued directions for several revenue cutters and a fast cruiser to meet the Carpathia, and render all assistance possible.
Messages of sympathy with the bereaved were received by the White Star Line last night from the King and Queen and Queen Alexandria.
There is now, unfortunately, no doubt whatever that the White Star liner Titanic, the largest ship in the world, sank after collision with an iceberg in latitude 41 degrees 46 min. N., longitude 50 degrees 14 min W., while on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. She carried 1, 455 passengers and 903 of a crew, a total of 2, 358, and there is every reasons to fear that the death toll reaches the awful number of 1, 400. The terrible calamity has created consternation not only in Great Britain and in the United States, but also on the Continent, and on all hands great sympathy is expressed for the bereaved. In view of the first statements that no lives had been lost, and that the passengers had been transferred to other steamers, a feeling of easiness prevailed; but unhappily that was dispelled as the day advanced.
In the early morning a message from St. John's, Newfoundland, gave rise to the hope that the Allan liner Virginian had some of the survivors on board, and another straw eagerly clutched at was a statement made by the operator at Sable Island, who on the night of the 15th inst., when asked as to the possibility of delivering messages to the Titanic's passengers, replied that it would be difficult to do so as the passengers were believed to be dispersed among several vessels. Later, however, the sad intelligence arrived from Montreal, through Reuter, that the Allan Line had received a communication to the effect that they were in receipt of a marconigram, via Cape Race, from Captain Gambell, of the Virginian, stating he had arrived on the scene of the disaster too late to be of service.
On board the Titanic there were in all 2, 358 passengers and crew. The numbers when she left Queenstown, including those from Cherbourg were:
The owners announce definitely that there are 868 survivors. The total death toll from the disaster is thus 1, 490.
But how far transfer to boats and rafts had progresses is not known, nor can anything be gathered from the information available to show whether it was lack of time or some other natural or material difficulty in the way of meeting such an emergency that sent two-thirds of the Titanic's human freight to the fathomless depths. But that order prevailed in conditions such as might well have been attended by chaos is eloquently shown by the proportion of women to men among the survivors, only 79 men so far having been reported as aboard the Carpathia out of a total of 248 persons whose names are as yet to hand. `These figures tell their own story of heroism and self-sacrifice'.
The Carpathia is now making for New York with 868 survivors, who alone can tell the tale of the midnight plunge into the angry whirlpool of ice, wreckage and drowning men with which the great ship went to her burial. They alone can relate the bitter experience of a wintry night spent in open boats on the lonely sea, of waiting for the morning, and of hope of rescue mingled with despair and anguish at the thought of loved ones from whose embraces they had been suddenly torn. Wireless messages have told how in the darkness their crews had to guide the boats with the greatest caution to prevent their being jammed in ice or overturned by swirling floes, so that the heavily laden craft became widely separated from each other.
There followed hours of heart-breaking anguish before daylight came, and the first faint tones of the searching Carpathia's siren were heard through the dense fog. Even then their anxiety was not at an end, for the Carpathia proceeded cautiously, sounding her fog whistle almost continuously until one after another she picked up the scattered lifeboats. No other ship was in the neighbourhood of the disaster, although before the Titanic disappeared wireless messages were pouring in telling of the approach of the Olympic, the Baltic, the Parisian and the Virginia, but they were still far away, and the Carpathia picked up all the survivors to the be found long before they reached the scene.
Nothing is likely to be heard from direct from the Carpathia until late tonight or early tomorrow when she will be nearing Sable Island, as her wireless apparatus has a radius of only 150 miles. Meanwhile a message from Halifax announces that the Parisian is approaching that port and will arrive there in the morning.
White Star agents learned to-day from the Oceanic that all the Titanic's boats had been accounted for. This, together with the abandonment of the long-cherished idea that the Virginian or Parisian might have picked up some additional survivors, has dispelled most hopes that the number of those saved may be increased beyond the pitiful 868. Those friends and relatives still without tidings of those for whose safety they are so anxious are basing their last hopes on the publication of the names of 483 survivors still to be sent by wireless telegraph from the Carpathia. Many men of great prominence in the social, financial and professional world are still missing. There is no word, for instance, of Colonel John Jacob Astor, whose youthful wife is among the saved, or of Mrs Isidor Straus, Major Butt, Mr Benjamin Guggenheim, Mr Francis D. Millet, or of Mr Wm. T. Stead, tidings of whom are so anxiously awaited not in England alone.
Naval men and experienced navigators who have discussed the disaster in the light of all the news available agree that the present information all appears to support the theory that the Titanic struck the iceberg a glancing blow, not running into it "head on". Mr Uhler, Inspector General of the Federal Steamboat Inspection Service, expressed the opinion that the Titanic struck the berg with such violence that the impact, "buckled her to pieces".

Retracing freedom's footsteps: Journalists on Underground Railroad quest
Urbana Daily CitizenPublished: Thursday, August 10, 2006
From the Urbana Daily Citizen, Urbana, Ohio
July 26, 2006.
MECHANICSBURG - Area residents received two visitors hailing all the way from Ottawa, Canada on Tuesday.
Ottawa Citizen reporter Chris Lackner and photographer Malcolm Taylor are working on a series of feature stories titled "Tracks To Freedom." Throughout the series, they will be exploring historic communities that were part of the Underground Railroad system.
In January, Series Editor Ruth Dunley approached Lackner with the opportunity that would take up a large part of his summer.
"My editor came to me and asked if I would be interested in doing this project, that it would take about three months of my summer," said Lackner.
Dunley explained that there was renewed interest in the Underground Railroad and its history, said Lackner.
"It's an important story to talk about," said Lackner. "It wasn't confined to one area; it was a continental event."
Although he and Taylor have a van to cart around all of their equipment, files and "portable library" of books, Lackner has been walking between communities to get a feel for how far fugitives traveled to escape.
"I'm just walking to get an idea of the distance. I'm not trying to recreate what a fugitive went through. You can't," said Lackner.
Lackner and Taylor began the journey June 11 in May's Lick, Ky., and have made their way through southern Ohio.
Because there were so many Underground Railroad routes throughout the state of Ohio, Lackner had to do extensive background research to find the most beneficial route.
"I had to research what route would take me through the richest areas of history," said Lackner. "I had to make sure I hit all the key pockets."
So far, Lackner has traveled an estimated 223 miles by foot and has stayed in several historical sites, including a 200-year-old jail in Augusta, Ky., that was used for holding captured fugitive slaves.

Retro Game Rewind: Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries3 CommentsPosted by Jason on April 29, 2011 under Featured, Features, The Retro Game RewindFor this particular RGR, we take a look at the popular PC game franchise known as MechWarrior.

According to the student pilot, who had about 36 hours total flight time, he had completed a solo flight earlier in the day that included seven takeoffs and landings. After refueling, he completed a local flight and returned to the departure airport, where he initiated an approach that terminated "perfectly" in a normal hover. However, the helicopter then "started spinning to the right," and the spin could not be arrested with full application of left pedal. The pilot stated that he then increased collective pitch and the corresponding increase in engine power aggravated the spin. He then attempted a hovering autorotation, but the helicopter landed hard, rolled over on to its side, and was substantially damaged. A witness described the helicopter as it approached "flying somewhat erratically" about 40 feet above the runway. The helicopter was "twisting" to the left and right as it hovered "shakily" closer to the runway. The helicopter noise increased, the nose pitched up, the main rotors struck the ground, and the helicopter came to rest on its side. A detailed examination of the wreckage revealed no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. A Federal Aviation Administration advisory circular stated that loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE) is a critical, low-speed aerodynamic flight characteristic which could result in an uncommanded rapid yaw rate which does not subside of its own accord and, if not corrected, could result in the loss of aircraft control. Further, any maneuver that required the pilot to operate in a high-power, low-airspeed environment with a left crosswind or tailwind would create an environment where unanticipated right yaw may occur. The nearest weather reporting station, which was located about 19 nautical miles from the accident site, recorded a 7-knot, left quartering tailwind for the landing on runway 9.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Representative Engagements
Interviews conducted by regulators are rigorous. For example, the FSA has publicly stated that a meaningful percentage of candidates are found not to be competent in the U.K. An additional proportion of candidates are approved, albeit with restrictions. Preparation ahead of regulatory approval interviews is critical to ensure candidates are able to demonstrate competence and an awareness of their development needs.
Promontory has extensive experience and success in preparing board-level (up to and including chairman) and senior management candidates for FSA and equivalent Approved Person Interviews. Drawing on our experience as former members of FSA senior management, where many of us performed these interviews, we use our extensive knowledge of regulatory practice to provide constructive feedback to individuals, including guidance on identifying and addressing shortcomings.
Promontory can assist firms and individuals in a variety of ways in advance of approval interviews. In addition to conducting practice interviews, we prepare and/or comment on gap analyses and development plans and source and deliver specific briefings for candidates.

According to Fitness Magazine, kickboxing has the ability to burn up to 500 calories within a single hour. Throughout the movements of this exercise, the core is constantly engaged as the body must maintain balance while kicking and punching. Kickboxing is composed of movements that are associated with martial arts, boxing and aerobics, which will swiftly raise the heart rate to use stored fat as energy. While kickboxing will isolate the core to burn fat and build muscle, it is a high-impact workout, thus people with weak joints or those who are recovering from an injury may find that this type of exercise is unsuitable. Speak with your physician before starting a kickboxing routine to ensure its safety.
Core Fat Burning Exercises
The core of the body is a term that is used to describe the abdominal and back regions. For both men and women, body fat tends to accumulate in the core. According to the University of Michigan, belly fat is linked to heart disease - so ridding fat from your core can help reduce the likelihood of heart-related complications.
Kickboxing Movements
There are a total of four main upper body movements within a standard kickboxing routine. These movements all involve extending the arms, thus it is vital that you pay special attention to proper form.
Twisting Jab -- Stand with your right foot in front of the left foot and bring your arms up to your chest while keeping your hands in a fist. As you jab your right arm forward, slightly twist your right foot to the right as you follow through with the punch. Involve your core by twisting at your hips as well.
Cross -- Stand with your right foot slightly in front of the left and bring your arms up in the standard kickboxing position. The cross is just that: as you extend your right arm, cross it to the left as your hip, knee and left foot cross to the same direction.
Hook -- Stand in the traditional fighting stance with your right foot in front of the left. Turn your right knee, hip, arm and shoulder to the left as you punch your right arm from left to right. Swiftly return back to the starting position.
Uppercut -- Stand in the same fighting stance as above, with your right foot forward. Keep your right hand parallel with the bottom of your rib cage and perform the movement by punching your right arm straight up and slightly away from your body. As you punch, twist your body to the left to engage your core muscles. Return back to the starting position before repeating.
There are two main lower body maneuvers within kickboxing. Both of these movements will engage the abdominals as well as hip flexors to fully isolate the core.
Front Kick -- Stand with your right foot ahead of your left and keep your fists up near your face. Shift all of your body weight to your left leg while your right leg is slightly bent at the knee. Lift the right leg into the air by leading with your knee and kick the leg while maintaining full control of your leg.
Side Kick -- Stand with your body weight resting on your left leg and your right leg turned out to the side. This will require a twist within your torso toward the right. As you lift your right leg through the knee, slightly lean the body to the left and forcefully kick the right leg out to the side.

text: On May 29, 2001, about 0718 Eastern Daylight Time, a Continental Copters Tom Cat Mark 5A (a modified Bell 47 helicopter), N25561, was substantially damaged during takeoff from a field in Benton, Pennsylvania. The certificated commercial pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local aerial application flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 137.The pilot stated that his assistant used a hose to fill the helicopter's "hopper" with pesticide. The assistant and hose were located on the right side of the helicopter. The pilot fueled and boarded the helicopter from the left side. He then observed that his assistant was clear from the right side, completing paperwork. The pilot started the helicopter, not realizing the hose was stilled attached on the right side. When the pilot attempted to takeoff, about 5-10 feet above the ground, the helicopter rolled right and struck the ground. The main rotor, tailboom, and transmission sustained substantial damage.

The U.S. National Team Trials were recently held at the Corpus Christi Yacht Club in Corpus Christi, Texas. One hundred twenty-one of the nation's top junior sailors (ages 8-15) converged upon the gulf town to compete for a chance to make the 2002 U.S. Optimist National Team. In addition, the top five finishers would compete in the Optimist Worlds slated for July, also at Corpus Christi YC. All sailors had qualified to compete at the Team Trials through various USODA events during the previous year. One hundred twenty-one invited competitors came from as far away as Florida, Maine, New Jersey, and California. Over three days of sailing, with winds ranging between 15-36 knots and with huge waves as high as 4-ft, the competitors sailed nine races on a trapezoid course set a half-mile offshore. For many, it was an unforgettable experience -- especially for the sailors from the Long Island Sound, who rarely experienced such conditions. According to Kenneth Andreasen, Director of Sailing for USODA, "Once again we saw that sailing is a true sport, where the sailors need to know about tactics, technique and sail setup, but also be in great physical shape to be able to handle the conditions." Racing four races on the first day of the regatta, Parker Dwyer, from Bellport Bay Club in Long Island, NY, held a commanding lead. The wind was so strong the next day that the Race Committee decided to have only three races, to the applause of everyone on the water.
The Hurricanes (boys U12) played an intense game against the Farmingdale Fusion, a team they had never beaten before. The well-played first half was dominated by defense and played mostly outside the penalty boxes on both sides. The Hurricane defense, led by sweeper Alex Stern, stopper Zach Ross, and fullbacks Drew Regan and P.J. Wezenaar, threw back several Farmingdale scoring opportunities.

League leaders Richmond backed up their win over Worcester last week by condemning a spirited Aylesford Bulls side to a 62-0 defeat.
Premiership newcomers Bulls, on a sharp learning-curve since their promotion this season, welcomed a daunting plethora of England talent but were much improved from their recent defeats to Saracens and Worcester. In fact, their strong defence allowed them to take the game to the visitors at times.
Richmond's experience proved pivotal though, and after 15 minutes wing Holly Myers broke through to score the first of her three tries that afternoon.
Further strong defence from the Bulls saw Richmond frustrated for long periods but in the end the home side's concentration slipped and they tired allowing for scores though Joanne Watmore (2), Becky Essex (2), Claire Allan and Oli Davies.
Strong running and well-timed tackles from Deborah Harwood and debutante Ellie Ambridge, along with flanker Megan Snape and skipper Catherine Spencer, meant Richmond could never relax but in the end the Bulls had to settle for a 62-0 defeat.
Last season's Premiership winners Worcester played host to Lichfield on Sunday, with their Midlands rivals welcoming the return of several star names.
Even so, the likes of England captain Sarah Hunter and her club and country teammates Emily Scarratt and Harriet Millar-Mills, couldn't stop Worcester inflicting a crushing 32-8 defeat on them.
Lichfield started well and an early penalty saw Scarratt kick the visitors into the lead. More sustained pressure and some good teamwork from the Lichfield forwards then resulted in a try for England lock Emily Braund.
Worcester appeared to be suffering from a lack of confidence and despite Megan Goddard reducing the deficit with a well struck penalty after 30 minutes they found themselves entering the changing rooms at the break trailing 3-8.
The half-time chat paid dividends though, as a revitalised Worcester took the game to Lichfield from the kick-off and after two minutes Kat Merchant had levelled the score with a powerful run along the wing.
Persistent infringements saw Braund sent to the bin and Worcester took full advantage. Karen Jones, a half-time replacement, had a significant impact on the game and her contribution was rewarded with a try, forcing her way over the line following excellent work from a Rochelle Clarke tap penalty.
With Braund still out of the fray, the Worcester forwards, superbly lead by Clarke, were now providing an excellent platform for their speedy backline of Ceri Large, Merchant and Steph Johnson to cause havoc. Their new-found domination provided an opening for Large to set off on a strong try-scoring run. Goddard collected the extras.
With home side now in the ascendany, Merchant collected her brace after good interchanges of passes with Johnson and Worcester's dynamic second half was rewarded with the bonus point try, when Johnson scored in the corner having outpaced the Lichfield defence.
Bristol, meanwhile, picked up their second win of the season on the road to Darlington Mowden Park Sharks on Sunday with a convincing 38-8 victory.
Bristol started strongly with a score in the first minute courtesy of prop Sasha Acheson. England fly-half Katy Mclean then clawed back three points for the Sharks, but Bristol were certainly making life difficult for the home side.
Bristol captain Amber Reed chipped over the Sharks' defence for Claire Molloy to score, and fly-half El Snowshill cut a great line to score another not long after. With Reed converting both, the visitors marched into an early 3-19 lead.
Matters only got worse for the Sharks when Mclean was sin binned and Bristol's wing Amy Wilson-Hardy took advantage making the score 3-26 at half-time with a good touch-down.
The second half started a much closer affair, with both teams battling hard. The Sharks were the first to break the deadlock with new England Elite Squad member Megan Ellery touching down after an impressive run through the Bristol defence.
Bristol kept the pressure on, and even with some great Sharks defence, Wales' Philippa Tuttiet scored twice in the latter stages of the game to make the final score 8-38.
Saracens also beat Wasps 34-10 at Twyford Avenue this weekend. England flanker Marggie Alphonsi put Saracens on the scoreboard within ten minutes and, despite Wasps clawing back a penalty courtesy of Hannah Edwards, the north Londoners moved into a 12-3 lead with a touch down for centre Leanne Riley just before half-time.
Saracens' momentum continued after restart with tries from Leah Morley, Stacie White and Leah Carey helping them into a comfortable 29-3 lead.
Wasps clawed a try back courtesy of wing Becca Rowe, but once again Saracens pulled ahead with Alphonsi having the final word.

Um numbnuts, bricking is where the console is fscked. Like when a RRoD totaly warps a motherboard!
Re: Sony Fails Again
I'm interested AC, you must have a huge library of exclusive AAA games for your 360 and i'm sure you'd love to share that list with us... And while you're at it i'd be interested to hear about all the HD films you're streaming off the net, or are you downloading them then watching?
Yeah, your quite right, the 360 is inferior to the PS3 because of the colour scheme on the plastic box because the looks of the outside of the plastic box is the most important part of a games console.
Then again, personally I spend most of the time playing great games on my 360 rather than looking at it, then again guess maybe you sit staring at your PS3 wishing you had any games worth playing on it?
what was that the 3shitty ?
Blu ray nope nope dont support it..
MGS4 in 1080p.. nope nope dont have it..
I have so many games queued up to play, I havent gotten round to it yet..
x360 looks like shit, is inferior cell processor ?? blu ray etc etc..
You even seen drakes fortune ? mgs4 ? motostorm ? gran tourismo 5 prologue ?
the list goes on I cant be bothered to continue,
you seen what the 2.4 firmware update will provide to the ps3 ?
bricking update ? the shop didnt work, backup the drive and format and it starts working again (some conflict probably to do with cod4)
massively expensive blu ray ? urmm... thats why the games are the same price near enough and it holds how much more data per disk ?
why bother trying to explain to an idiot why they are an idiot.. they are just an idiot..
If you happen to be a microsoft fan boy and your running the latest and greatest windows os, you could have gotten infected, except us users running Linux and on the ps3 wouldnt have gotten anything happen to us ...
Yes, the AC is (partly) downloading the HD movies, because the bandwidth needed to watch them is rather greater than what most people have at home. So it does the old "buffering..." trick in the background until it's nearly done. You can get a list from here:
Re: games, do you really need to see the Halo 3, Crackdown, Forza 2, PGR 4, Gears of War, Dead Rising, Ninja Gaiden II, etc, etc list again? There are several valid complaints about the machine, but you're the first person I've seen claim that its lacking in software.
@AC & Chizo
I, personally, am quite happy with my Wii.
@ Iain
I never said anything of the sort. What i asked was for the games AC had that we're exclusive to the Xbox, not the full list as i'm well aware of the 360's back catalogue. My point being, half the "exclusives" on the 360 will end up on another platform sooner or later, whereas that's rarely the case with PS3 or PC exclusives.
And WRT downloads vs bluray, you don't need to buffer bluray, if your HDD dies you don't lose anything and you actually own the media rather than renting from the download service :)
Well I own both...
..so I will incur the wrath of 2 camps or be able to provide a subjective comparison without fanboyism!
Let's be honest now. The 360 has been out a while and so it's bound to look dated compared to the PS3. However despite the PS3's 'superior' CPU it has yet to actually be used to any potential that I can recognise as it being better than the 360. The PS3 has games that look great on my 42" 1080p screen, likewise for the 360 and I can honestly say that there is no significant difference in the quality (especially as a lot of titles are acutally upscaled from 720). GTA IV runs better on the Xbox than the PS3, the xbox has achievements and live which are two reasons I rarely buy a game release on both platforms for the PS3. GTA IV i couldnt resist stealing a mates PS3 copy and trying out to see 'the amazing' PS3 in action. I was disappointed.
Now people will blame the fact it was limited by coding for the 360, that's a pretty lame excuse tbh, rockstar knew how big of a deal GTAIV would be, I'd bet they just couldnt get the grips with the PS3's complex code or streamline the code to a way that stopped the juddering the drop in framerates etc.
That said, the 360 has it's annoyances, random freezings is one main bugbear, that live is a subscription service is another. If the 2.4 patch (which they revoked last night after i'd got it installed :( ) makes trophies as good as achievements and if the PSnetwork upgrade whenever that comes can rival live for stability, performance and features then I'll certainly sit up and take more interest in online gaming on the PS3.
Both consoles are pretty evenly matched, currently the xbox wins purely for it's all-round ability. If people crack the cell processor programming and unleash the supposed beast then the PS3 may start to lead the pack. I don;t see it happening for a while yet though and I will continue to buy multi-format games on the 360 until something big happens.
So even though you will probably continue screaming tech-specs at each other, dredging old news and failures about each others consoles, anyone sane and not somehow braindead enough to blindly believe one console rules all then please take note this is one very happy owner of both. The only real loser here is my poor PC that sees less and less of me with each week that goes by.
Quit your pointless bickering about consoles, load up some anti-spyware software and prey other companies notice this unforunate attack on the Sony site and fix their sites from SQL injection attacks.
Format the HDD??? Lose all your save games? You have to be joking, otherwise you just gave the best ever reason NOT to own a PS3. Just imagine, all those hours on Forza2 and GTA IV down the drain. I'd rather have a RRoD every couple of months (more time with the missus, hehe).
Mine's the one with the proprietary, expensive, easily deatachable hard drive.
So, Sony.
Foist rootkits on us would you?
Well that's what it feels like.
Hope you enjoyed the experience.
come come
Oh yes lets not forget sony owns sony pictures..
and sony is releasing same said video "rental" service on the ps3 oh yes and there is play coming on..
Halo3 lets face it same shit as haze..
forza 2 trying to imitate the best Gran Tourismo, Gran Tourismo wins hands down..
Gears of war soon available on the pc if not already was a cool game..
ninja gaiden sigma was on ps3 2 on xbox360, and sigma 2 will probably hit ps3 soon enough.. I wasnt a massive big fan.. I didnt buy the sigma.. I thought Heavenly Sword was better (didnt get that on x360 right ?)
The Dead rising I havent seen only looked it up now.. Looks interesting.. Wouldnt buy a console for it..
WarHawk ? good game..
Unreal Tourney 3 x360 will get in a few months, its ok..
Ratchet & clank --> Absolutely Awesome game
Resistance 1 --> Awesome game, 2 should be amazing.
Time Crisis 4 --> nope nope dont think you got that..
Basically as it goes ps3 kicks x360s ass, in terms of raw power it has more (as proven by mgs4, I repeat again a game that heavy graphically that smooth an engine in true 1080p.. You have still have not gotten anything near that on the x360 the cell processor will show its worth.. It already is)
Other than that None of the games on the shitox360 stand out that much compared what is the killer games you guys have gotten this year ? nothing... pretty much..
Give it till the end of this year and x360 will be relegated to 3rd place with Nintendo wii top and ps3 second..
@Marco Alfarrobinha
rrod every couple of months ?? and give box back and lose everything ?
you can backup the entire ps3 contents onto a usb disk you plug in format, hell shit stick on linux as other os, then reinstall and the restore all the data..
read again
Format the HDD?
Yep if you backup your game data to a usb stick you can safely format ;)
@Marco Alfarrobinha
Let me re-iterate the point made earlier:
why bother trying to explain to an idiot why they are an idiot.. they are just an idiot..
restore !! doh, and it affected how many ps3's exactly ?? not a whole lot..
I was one of the people to get affected by the glitch.. Hence why I wrote about it..
So you would rather have your xbox360 blow up on you every other month, for you to have to send it in for repair or take it back to the shop and get a new one than to have to backup your data on a usb disk and then restore back ? and this glitch affected very few people..
Oh oh while we are it at, how easy is it to change your x360 drive ?? do you void your massively long eula by changing it or can you simply pull it out and stick in another disk ? any chance of running a proper os like Linux on it as well ?
No ? Thought not..
You tried mgs4 yet if you do own the ps3 try it play it and then come back.. not forgetting the res is at real 1920x1080..
They have cracked the programming well kojima pretty much did,
Hang on...
The article was about vulnerabilities in SQL structure leaving an open door to the base database which enabled hackers to invade a website. It just so happens the latest in a long line of large corporate victims was Sony US. The hacking of NASA's latest Mars lander website wasn't reported, neither was the hacking of Russia's national nuclear industry website and various databases. I'd argue the last example is possibly more worrying that the US Sony site or games console.
The article wasn't about console cock waving you bloody idiots. All of you!
Oh and the AC moron who posted first.... which company is it that wrote SQL? Anyone?.......
Exactly what I was gonna say!
Sheesh, give these geeks a chance to waggle their epenis in each other's faces and they never fail to take it!
And the thing that makes me laugh the hardest is that you only get hit by these 'attacks' on Sony's website if you're USING MICROSOFT WINDOWS?
Should supporters of either system really be talking right now? This is a case of double-pwnage of both Sony and Microsoft.
For the record, though, if it came down to owning either system, I'd ruther get a 360. Bloodbowl won't be on the PS3 after all...
*goes back to playing Advance Wars on his Nintendo DS*
Re: all those hours on Forza2 and GTA IV down the drain
Lol, yup, because right up to the hard drive format that was time well spent.
Karma Fluffykins
IBM "wrote" SQL - what is your point?
I don't know...
...how many times I've said this in the last few months, but what's another time?
Come on, web developers! SQL Injection isn't at all hard to protect against! Escape your input strings or use prepared statements for god sakes.
You won't currently see the PS3 excel on Multi-platform titles like GTA-IV because the consoles are so different, multi-platform development is all about compromises for both systems.
Look at the exclusives, and it's a different story, PS3 exclusives blow the 360 ones out of the water. You won't ever see a game on 360 that looks as good as Uncharted Drakes Fortune, it's simply not possible to stream those textures in real time. The PS3 will continue to get better for the next 4-5 years, the 360 has already peaked (seen the Gears2 footage? Marginally better than Gears1).
True yes they did. Modern SQL is Microsoft and the culprit of the lazy coding that keeps getting exploited that caused this.
That was my point but not well made, I hold my hands up to that, if we're going back that far and not just to current day SQL that is the root cause of this.
I don't have a 360 or a PS£
But I bet i've got a bigger cock.
There. Arguement over - can we all go back to discussing worthwhile tech issues now please?
In reply to various points...
Chizo - that's fair enough about the games that AC actually owns, I suppose. I don't have a few of the ones I listed myself; there are only so many hours videogaming I can do in a week. And personally, I found Gears of War to be a tedious, repetitive load of rubbish. Most people seem to like it though, just as they like the MGS series (which I just don't get along with at all).
I'd also rather own my HD movies on disc than use an online rental servies, which is why I have a super-cheap HD-DVD player at home, and will eventually pick up a Blu-ray player (probably PS3) in a year or so. Not because I'm some rabid fanboy upset that 'my' format lost, just because it's expensive and the firesales mean I've got the best part of a year's worth of unwatched films to catch up on as it is. My point was merely that, as online rental goes, the 360's is pretty good; the only ways you could really improve it would be by making the big drive cheaper (Sony got it right by letting you replace the drive with a standard one) and somehow persuade Sony Pictures to join the system, but that is hardly likely to happen.
"come come" AC - have you actually played Halo 3 and Haze? The former is far, far better, more's the pity; Free Radical's Timesplitters series was just fine, and I'm sure we can all agree on the excellence of GoldenEye. But Haze was a disaster. Elsewhere, as someone who has put a fair amount of time into both the Forza and GT series, I'd say that Forza 2 was comfortably the best game across both of them. Given that GT4 was better than Forza I don't doubt that the full GT5 will give it a good run if it fulfills expectations, but Prologue was just missing too much.
Time Crisis 4 is excellent. For a good hour or so, then you realise how little game you got for your £60.
UT3 comes out today, not in a few months.
Replacing part of the name of a product with a swearword is the lowest form if wit.
commeth the 360 fanboy
like the 360 has never had problems, i demand this faggotry cease!
Bless you, console kids
I love seeing console fanboi's fight :D It's like "who's got the least-shit crippled games machine". One day you'll grow up and play games that aren't built for the lowest common denominator with ADD ;) Until then, fight amongst yourselves (online only, using autoaim of course, and your "maximum 14 buttons" user interfaces ho ho ho bless) over which toy shows the prettiest pictures.
I mean you must know they are preeeetty limited or you wouldn't jump up and be in the face of people as soon as some imaginary slight is percieved. You know, like the short bloke down the pub who's got a problem with everyone because he's short. And thick.
The original SQL syntax was pre-Microsoft. In any case, SQL injection exploits are webserver issues, not the fault of the database server that receives the query. More precisely, it's probably a fault by the author of the site, not the server they are using. You might as well blame Apple when a 360 game has a bug, because they built the devkits.
Yep I know that and did say above, but in the grand scheme of things it was less bollocks than the console bashing that started right away on both sides of the political divide! You gotta at least give me that one!
Yes sure the webserver was likely the issue but it can be very, very difficult writing for and managing the web server when you continually have to fight a rear guard action with the code and management to take into account the fact that the underlying SQL is so prone to injection exploits.
My point wasn't a SQL bash, in the context of modern day Microsoft product, or indeed a MS bash. It was that people were throwing rocks in wrong direction for the wrong reasons. Plus typing whilst on a train on a touch screen at the time wasn't encouraging me to necessarily go into depth!!
Couldn't have happened to a nicer company.
Apart from Virgin.
> Modern SQL is Microsoft
So, "Modern" is what the "M" is for in "MySQL"..? What does the "y" stand for, then?
Jeez... I've just looked at one of the menus on "MS Word" (someone else's machine, of course, I use OpenOffice on SuSE10.3), and looked under "Language"... So it seems that Microsoft wrote "English", as well... :-(
Oh for christs sake, you missed the point TOTALLY.
Yes I know IBM write the original SQL language but in the context of TODAY, now, when this article was written and when the VERY first idiot posted twisting it to bash the PS3, Microsoft have responsibility for SQL server and the general authoring and development of transact query in the SQL server context. That is was I meant by 'modern' my good man. And the quip about the English language... you totally missed the point and just like the first poster in here twisted something comment to suit your own moan.
Jesus fucking christ, the article was about SQL injection vulnerabilities hitting various company website, not console bashing. I merely pointed out people were throwing rocks for the wrong reasons and also highlighted the IRONY of the first post, slagging the PS3 and Sony bigging up the 360. When in actual fact it is a MS controlled product in SQL (as in the SQL of TODAY, as in what I meant by 'modern' that is all!), that has a large degree of blame at the heart of the matter.
I like a good tit for tat tongue in cheek bit of banter, and don't normally react. But today I'm going to cause you missed the point, just like all the other people doing console cock waving. Bollocks!
So there, right back at you Willy and you can stick your flame up your arse whilst you're at it!

A construction project on Tejon between Vermijo and Constilla downtown will cause traffic problems from Friday through Sunday night.
Work crews will be installing underground pipes which will connect the Robert L. Russell Professional Building to the County's Central Utilities Plant.
"Connecting the Russell building to the C.U.P. will result in significant energy savings for many years to come," said Deputy County Administrator Monnie Gore. "It also allows us to remove a number of old, inefficient air conditioning units on the roof of the building which are well beyond their useful life expectancy."
Traffic flow will return to normal in time for start of the work week Monday morning.

I was keen to visit the high altitudes of Eastern Himalaya in summer to experience birds breeding at these altitudes. In addition, I was eager to bird in these unique habitats -- coniferous and alpine -- which turn breeding grounds in summer. Target birds were the likes of Gould's Shortwing, Fire-tailed Myzornis, Fire-tailed Sunbird, Finches, Grosbeaks, Grandala, Leaf and Bush-warblers, etc. Shashank Dalvi and other bird tour leaders specializing in North-east India usually combine high altitudes of Western Arunachal with Eaglenest and lowland jungle like Nameri, Pakke and Kaziranga.
I got the opportunity to visit these areas in June when Shashank, Vishnupriya and I found a week after completing a month-long Nagaland biodiversity survey. We met in Guwahati and headed straight to Arunachal Pradesh breaking the journey at Eaglenest. A landslide between Seppa and Tippi caused a delay of a few hours.
The places we birded were:
Eaglenest -- Lama camp
Dirang -- About 25 km west of Bomdila on the Tezpur-Tawang highway lies Dirang which serves as the birding base for sorties into the Shangti valley, Mandala and the road to Sela pass which provides the boundary in Arunachal Pradesh between West Kameng and Tawang districts. Dirang itself is a reasonably large town with the only decent hotels in the entire region.
Shangti Valley -- The Shangti valley lies at 1600m and forms a dry inner valley with pine stands and cultivation cloaking the valley itself. The river produces both gravel banks and sand banks along its length in the valley providing suitable habitat for Ibisbill, Long-billed Plover and wintering Wallcreepers. The flat marshlands contiguous with the banks of the river, although cultivated with rice, form the only wintering area in India for Black-necked Crane as well as Black-tailed Crakes.
Dirang-Mandala road -- This road climbs from Dirang up through temperate broad-leaved forest andscrub. Treeline vegetation is dominated by conifers, birch, rhododendron and birch scrub. A great location for Gould's Shortwing and Myzornis (although this highly sought-after species was not encountered on this trip)
Dirang-Sela Pass -- This road runs some 61 km from Dirang itself climbing all the time towards the Sela Pass. The habitat on the way up is similar to the Dirang – Mandala road.
Jang -- we actually camped here to accessed Sela pass on multiple mornings.
The full trip-list is hosted here (thanks to Shashank who is meticulous in certain things!). All landscape and habitat images are hosted at: ramki.zenfolio.com/sela.
