The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have had the amazing opportunity to volunteer with Cure International in both Ethiopia and Niger. Cure in both places feels like a big family-- inclusive, diverse, energetic, passionate, warm, and open. They greet people with a variety of skills with open arms allowing each person to use their skills to serve others.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
continue to expand slowly and intentionally to create more clinics and hospitals.
More feedback
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
A lot
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
Allowed me to use my skills in painting to create several murals. Allowed me a place to gain more experience in my area of interest. Allowed me to see first hand the work that Cure does overseas. Allowed me to form relationships with the staff and see the joys and challenges of their jobs.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
Wonderful. One of Cure's strengths is that it is incredibly inclusive and welcoming, allowing each person to grow in their skills and to sharpen their skills to serve others in life changing ways.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Great two-wheeled breaks this summer
Will the Tour de France inspire you to ride off on a cycling holiday?
Wednesday 05 June 2013
Cycle safari
From the city of Arusha in northern Tanzania, cycle through banana and coffee plantations into the Rift Valley and the grasslands used by the Maasai for grazing cattle. Expect about 35 miles of guided cycling per day, with the possibility of spotting zebra and giraffe, as well as time off to explore the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. The off-road cycling is mostly hilly and is graded moderately challenging. Nights are spent under the stars in simple but comfortable public campsites. Exodus (0845 863 9601; exodus.co.uk) offers the 15-day group Tanzania Cycle Safari from £2,599pp including flights from London, accommodation and most meals. Bike hire starts at US$170 (£111).
Baltics by bike
Explore the three Baltic states on one easy-graded guided pedal. From the medieval old town of the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, travel by bike through pretty villages in Trakai Historical National Park to the Curonian Lagoon, one of the best birdwatching locations in the world. From here, cross north into Latvia to cycle alongside the sandy beaches, Soviet-era spas and Art Nouveau houses of Jurmala, before continuing north into Estonia to explore Lahemaa, the country's first, and largest, national park. Explore (0845 291 4541; explore.co.uk) offers the nine-day Cycling the Baltic States trip from £1,122pp, including flights from London, B&B accommodation, bike hire and guide. There are six scheduled departures this summer.
Flat and easy
Denmark's low-rise topography makes it ideal for a leisurely cycle, and nowhere more so than Zealand, the country's largest island. On Inntravel's (01653 617 001; inntravel.co.uk) week-long self-guided Danish Riviera trip, you can follow the coastline at your own pace, past fishing villages, seafood restaurants and white-sand beaches. Accommodation is in small, charming guesthouses and the itinerary includes biking to the region's fairy-tale castles, including the imposing Kronborg, which inspired the setting of Elsinore Castle in Hamlet. The trip costs £1,065pp including accommodation, luggage transfers, bike hire, breakfast and most dinners. Flights not included. Departures July-September.
Le Tour
Follow the 100th Tour de France from Provence to Paris. Marmotte Mountain (00 33 682 891 523; marmottemountain.com) has an 11-day Luxury Tour de France Cycling holiday that costs £4,600pp departing 12 July, including most meals, transport and expert cycling guides, but not travel to France or bike hire. You can cycle many of the roads the professionals do and watch the last 10 stages of the Tour.
Peloton Cycling Tours (00 61 402 325 770; pelotoncyclingtours.com) also has a nine-day trip from 14 July, which includes Alpine climbs and live viewing of stages 18-20. The price of £2,365 includes accommodation, most meals and guides, but not flights or bike hire.
Insider information
"Cycling holidays are the ideal way to combine a passion with a holiday. Training beforehand will ensure that sitting on a bicycle seat day after day isn't too much of a hardship. If hiring a bike, take your own pedals and shoes. If your trip involves mountains, make sure climbing is part of your pre-trip training." – Greg Griffiths, 2012 Olympics mountain-biking judge and Marmotte Mountain cycle guide
Wine and wheels
Headwater (0845 527 7027; headwater.com) has a self-guided 10-day California Vineyards Cycling trip from £2,499pp, including B&B and bike hire but not flights. Departs April-November. The company also has a 50-night Pour de France tour, taking in seven "stages" of wine regions. It costs £7,359pp including flights from London, accommodation, bike hire and most meals. Departs 2 September.
Big mountains
Improve your cycling skills in the world's highest mountains, the Himalayas. From the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu, cycle through hillside Newari villages, past Buddhist temples and terraced farmlands on the way to the relaxing lakeside resort of Pokhara and the ancient kingdom of Gorkha to the north. The trip is at low altitude but expect up to 30 miles of challenging cycling each day, with nights spent in local guest houses and family-run hotels. Access Trips (001 650 492 4778; accesstrips.com) runs the 12-day Nepal Mountain Bike Tour, which departs on 20 October, costing £1,865pp with accommodation, all meals, transport and an expert guide. Bike hire from US$325 (£212); flights extra.
Charity cycles
Charity bike rides have become an industry, with a number of commercial firms running trips to beautiful parts of the world. For example, Discover Adventure (01722 718 444; discoveradventure.com) has a nine-day Pyrenees Coast-to-Coast Cycle, covering more then 400 miles over some of the Tour de France's most famous mountain passes. The registration fee is £299, plus minimum sponsorship of £2,065 (of which 60 per cent goes to the charity).
Alternatively, you can pay £826 and then all fundraising goes to your chosen charity. Accommodation, most meals and trip support is included, flights and bike hire are not. Departs 15 June and 7 September.
And Global Adventure Challenges (01244 676 454; globaladventurechallenges.com) has an eight-day, 260-mile Death Valley Cycle in Nevada. Registration is £399, plus either a payment of £1,399 if self-funding, or a minimum sponsorship level of £3,150. Return flights, accommodation, most meals and trip support is included, bike hire is not. Departs 9 November.
Individual charities also put on dozens of sponsored rides throughout the year, including London to Brighton, London to Paris and around Ibiza.

Challenges to Peace and Security Becoming More Diverse
"Challenges to peace and security have become far more diverse and multidimensional than most actors within the UN system or other relevant institutions would have thought not long ago," said Ambassador Miguel Berger of Germany at the New York launch of Peace Operations 2025 at IPI on February 19, 2013. The event was co-hosted by the German Center for International Peace Operations (ZIF).
"Although one might argue that within the next twelve years, nothing fundamental is going to change, we have seen shifts of paradigms within far shorter periods of time," he remarked.
Published by ZIF, Peace Operations 2025 aims to help policymakers and practitioners to structure their thinking about the future of peace operations and to identify alternatives for action. With contributions from a group of experts and practitioners, ZIF created distinct scenarios for peace operations in the year 2025, projecting alternative future environments in order to contribute to the conceptual evolution of peace operations and stimulate dialogue.
Mr. Berger, the Deputy Permanent Representative of Germany to the UN, provided his thoughts on peacekeeping and the importance of the book in thinking about the future of the field.
"Peacekeeping has, since the first observer mission in 1948, developed into the flagship activity of the United Nations," he said. "However, peacekeeping has undergone, as we know, a number of substantial changes. This applies to both the threats being posed to international peace and security and the way these threats are being addressed through the UN."
"One thing is clear, the peacekeeping system will face new challenges in a rapidly changing world and the UN will have to adapt to them in order to fulfill the mandates," Mr. Berger said, suggesting that in order to live up to these challenges, peacekeeping should create and maintain structural and operational flexibility.
In concluding, he remarked that most countries that contribute troops to peacekeeping operations are still in their own development phase, while many industrialized countries face serious economic constraints in their defense budgets. He recommended that the international community should strive for more inclusive and regionally balanced efforts in peacekeeping.
Dr. Almut Wieland-Karimi, director of ZIF, also provided her remarks on the new publication and what it aims to do.
"Scenarios are not predictions or forecasts but rather they provide a tool for strategic planning. We have developed these scenarios in order to provide impulses for dialogue inside this peace operations community," she said.
She pointed out that understanding what peacekeeping operations need to do today will allow them to have desirable outcomes and avoid an undesirable future, advising them to be proactive and act in a preventive manner.
She discussed the four scenarios presented in the book–national interests, erratic progress, regional diversity and global cooperation–and expanded on the twelve key factors, in addition to the two known factors, that were applied.
As she explained, the direction of the two known, "given" factors–demographics and climate change–is fairly clear, as much has been written on how these two megatrends will unfold within the coming decades. Some of the estimates are that by 2025, the world population will probably be around eight billion, while several hundred million will be "climate refugees."
Dr. Wieland-Karimi went on to list the twelve key factors, which were identified by participants of ZIF's "Peace Operations 2025" project. They were: the state of the global economy, national interest versus global interdependence, the evolution of international and regional organizations, economic and political power shifts, the evolutions of norms and values, state fragility, organized crime, resource scarcity, the cluster of migration, refugees, and diasporas, new technologies, new media, and finally, private security companies.
Offering his experiences and thoughts on what UN peacekeeping is facing now was Mr. Hervé Ladsous, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations.
"Whatever happens, UN peacekeeping will still be there, because let's face it, not only has it had its successes but also, I think, it represents a matter for large consensus within the international community [that] it is also good value for money," he said.
Mr. Ladsous added that although UN peacekeeping operations were undergoing consolidations in some of their missions such as Darfur, Liberia and Haiti, they are facing a broadening situation in Mali, specifically in the Sahel, Somalia, and possibly in Syria, assuming there will be a political breakthrough.
This, he believed, shows a number of new parameters in peacekeeping operations. "One is that we are increasingly going into environments which have nothing to do with old time peacekeeping, environments in which there was simply a situation to monitor or observe," he said.
"Now we are increasingly in high-risk situations and I think the best illustration was given last year when we deployed, briefly, the UN observer mission in Syria, ostensibly to monitor a ceasefire, but in fact a ceasefire which never really existed," he said. He added that it was a miracle they did not sustain causalities, although their twelve armored vehicles were completely destroyed.
Mr. Ladsous pointed out that the situation in Mali is also not going to be permissive, as recent days have shown the perspective of an asymmetric environment in which insurgents carry on surprise attacks.
"Increasingly we face what I call the transverse threats. And certainly again, the situation in Mali is a proof of that. We face, amongst other things, extremism, terrorism, but also international crime and drugs," he said.
"We have to be more than ever, adaptive [and] creative," he added. "Certainly there are many unknowns, especially over the next 15 years."
The event was chaired by Adam Smith, Research Fellow and Manager of the Peace Operations program at IPI.

so exactly who is going to see it? ya know as beer drinkers it almost seems necessary..
it did rank #4 this week...
if you went.. was it any good?
I haven't seen it, but one of the women at Hop Madness said, "It was just stupid enough to be funny."
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
(sigh) Um, I don't think so. Not to be too beer-snobbish or anything, but...I'd wager that every single ounce of beer depicted in that movie has an SRM of no more than 1.0, and their names are probably succeeded by "Lite".
I saw the commercials, and it seemed like a Man-Show-esque lowbrow celebration of getting ripped on cheap mass-market beer, and seeing how insane things get. As such, I don't think it's necessary for homebrewers and appreciators of fine craft brew to see such a movie. That's like saying that wine connoisseurs would be obliged to see a movie about bums drinking MD 20/20 and Thunderbird.
Hell, I'd love to be proven wrong. I'd love to hear that "beerfest" was a quality comedy that portrayed beer drinkers in a positive light...but judging from the commercials, I highly doubt it. Looks like it's going to be yet another flick that furthers the stereotype of the beer drinker as an over-the-top drunkard who acts like a crazed frat boy all the time...and portrays beer as swill for the idiot masses. That's not what we need. I work part-part-time in a fine wine & beer shop, and I do everything in my power to elevate beer to at least somewhere in the neighborhood of wine as a fine beverage, and not just something to pour into a funnel and chug. Movies like this, they don't help.
There, that's my beer-snob-screed. Go see the flick if you want, but don't expect there to be any discussion about Original Gravity or fruity esters.
Don't mince words Evan!, tell us what you really think!
It's a product of Hollywood, RDWHAHB.
Once the wind has been broken, it cannot be fixed.
Don't they go to Germany, though? Something about having to master Das Boot.
Well, it looked dumb to me and judging by a sampling of reviews, some of which read funnier than the film probably is, I might be right:Beerfest' goes flat fastUSA Today - Aug 24, 2006Like Snakes on a Plane, Beerfest pretty much gives the plot away in the title. Unlike Snakes, Beerfest doesn't have Samuel L. Jackson going for it. Or snakes. ..."Beerfest": Chug-a-lug, dummkopfsSeattle Times, United States - Aug 25, 2006The best joke in "Beerfest" is built around actor Jürgen Prochnow — the severe-looking star of a certain 1981 international hit film about a World War II ... "Beerfest" a flat concoctionReuters - Aug 24, 2006LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Beerfest," as the title promises, is an alcohol-driven comedy about young and foolish men and a fondness for contests ... The comedy goes flat in guy-focused 'Beerfest'Detroit Free Press, United States - Aug 25, 2006BY TERRY LAWSON. Paul Soter, left, and Erik Stolhanske play brothers-in-suds Jan and Todd Wolfhouse in "Beerfest." ... 'Beerfest' humor tastes flatBoston Herald, United States - Aug 24, 2006Ale-loving morons and liquor-guzzling idiots are the stars of ''Beerfest," a raunchy frat boy extravaganza that is about as funny as a hangover. ... 'Beerfest' is dregs of summer comediesBoston Globe, United States - Aug 25, 2006Making a comedy that celebrates binge drinking and cretinous behavior isn'ta crime against nature. Making one that's as brutally unfunny as ``Beerfest" is ... 'Beerfest' an Insult to AlcoholOhmyNews International, South Korea...
My bet is, it did great box office this past weekend b/c a lot of college kids headed back to school and this gave them a break. I bet it's gone after next weekend and will be in your Lackluster Video store before Oktoberfest begins.
Entertainment Weekly kinda liked it, I think they gave it a "B+" as a stupid comedy that actually worked fairly well. I've tended to agree with most of their reviews (much moreso than for most other publications), so I take that as a pretty decent indication. I can't imagine convincing the wife that we should get a sitter to go see it, but the video store happens to be right next to the package store....
Don't see it on torrent yet...probably see it when it appears.
I may not be an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express........ 6 months ago.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/denn...9/#post1766281http://groups.homebrewtalk.com/Tapro...ook_Repository
well personally .. opinions are kinda like.. well i wont go there.. its not like we were being serious.. its as if you dont think that we as "beer drinkers" cannot have fun..we have to have our thumb up our prestigious butts all the time as if we are better than the world because we homebrew.. thats not how i see it..
In reality i homebrew because i enjoy it.. i like the craft ... i enjoy drinking what i brew...i like the flavors, the variety, the spice of life..and if you dont.. well then maybe you need to find a craft in which you can truly enjoy and not have such an air about yourself and not be quite so serious that one movie may turn the whole world against beer drinkers..
see what others think of me doesnt bother me...there are those out there that may not think much of me because im a woman who loves beer..who loves to brew beer and who loves to drink beer.. do i care? NO..
i dont mean to come across as nasty..but i also dont like the assumption that just because there may be a movie out there that appeared to be funny and someone thought it would be "witty" to post about it on a site of LOTS of beer drinkers...that there is any thoughts that homebrewers or beer drinkers in the world are portrayed in any way...
i carry myself with respect where ever i may be.. whether with a group of "lite" beer drinkers or a group of homebrewers.. because all in all its not what i brew or how i brew it.. or what i watch or where i go.. but WHO I AM that matters...
that just in my "own" personal opinion.... and Dude (or any other moderators..) if this in inappropriate in any way.. feel free to delete it.. however i felt the need to vent..
it get a little uptight when ASSUMED that one thing was meant and it WASNT!
(in reality i probably wouldnt go to the theater to see it ..because well i couldnt sit back, relax and have a homebrew while i laughed at it.. )
You go girl!!!
Wait, did i just say that?

Patrick Kane RW CHI 2 Months
Kane showed that there is no rust in his legs when he scored in the Blackhawks' first exhibition game of the season in the 2-1 overtime victory on Tuesday over the Red Wings.
Kane scored on a breakaway with the help of a pass from newly acquired Brad Richards. Kane will be looking to show this season that he is worth the recently signed eight-year extension of his contract with an average annual value of $10.5 million. Kane had 29 goals and 40 assists last season in 69 games. He'll be looking to top his 09-10 season where he registered his best numbers, 30 goals and 58 assists in 82 games.
Patrick Kane RW CHI 4 Months
Arguing that Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews' matching eight-year, $84 million extensions aren't excessive, agent Pat Brisson claimed that they could have gotten $13.8 million annually if they so desired.
That's probably true, because the Chicago Blackhawks were negotiating from a weak position. Kane and Toews have restored credibility to the Blackhawks and the team was in a position where they were basically going to cave into whatever demands the duo made. However, Brisson used that as an argument to suggest that Kane and Toews gave Chicago a hometown discount in an effort to keep their team together, which is pushing it. Kane and Toews chose to make themselves the two highest paid players in terms of cap hit by a significant margin so while they probably could have gotten even more, their demands were still high enough to hurt Chicago's competitive edge. That said, they were under no obligation to make life easy on the Blackhawks in the first place. After all, they've been successful and it's their right to cash in.
Patrick Kane RW CHI 5 Months
The Chicago Blackhawks have signed Patrick Kane to an eight-year, $84 million contract extension.
Jonathan Toews signed an identical contract. Kane and Toews new cap hits of $10.5 million annually don't take effect until the 2015-16 campaign, but currently they're projected to be the two highest in the league. Kane has emerged as a point-per-game player and a clutch performer in the playoffs, although his recent injury history makes him a bit of a risk going forward.
Patrick Kane RW CHI 5 Months
Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews aren't expected to re-sign with the Chicago Blackhawks until after the July 4 holiday weekend.
They were initially expected to sign on July 1, but it's way too early to be concerned. The only question is how high their combined cap hits will be. They have a lot of bargaining power in their negotiations, but the more they demand, the harder it will be for the Blackhawks to continue to compete for the Stanley Cup.
Patrick Kane RW CHI 5 Months
The negotiations between the Chicago Blackhawks and stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are ongoing.
July 1 was the first day Chicago was eligible to sign Toews and Kane to contract extensions. They won't become unrestricted free agents for another year, but the Blackhawks don't want to enter the 2014-15 campaign with their future being unknown. "Nothing has changed from my original expectation that they're both going to be signed," Chicago GM Stan Bowman said. "We're looking forward to that."
Patrick Kane RW CHI 5 Months
Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews might not sign on July 1 after all.
Kane and Toews will almost certainly re-sign with Chicago anyways, but this could be an indication that the duo is demanding more than the Blackhawks are comfortable with. If that's the case then Chicago could run into problems continuing to build a Stanley Cup-caliber team around them once they do sign.
Patrick Kane RW CHI 5 Months
Look for Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews to be signed on July 1.
Kane and Toews weren't eligible to be signed prior to that, but if Tuesday ends without them inking an extension, it would be surprising. The only question is how much their extensions will cost the Blackhawks as the more they asked for, the harder it will be for Chicago to stay competitive in the years to come.
Patrick Kane RW CHI 6 Months
Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman wants to have Patrick Kane signed on July 1.
Kane has already made it clear that he'd like to re-sign with Chicago and the two sides shouldn't have trouble meeting that target date. The only real question is how much Kane will get as it will obviously have an impact on how much space the Blackhawks have for the team's supporting cast.
Patrick Kane RW CHI 6 Months
Patrick Kane would gladly welcome signing a contract extension with the Chicago Blackhawks.
That should come as no surprise. Kane and Jonathan Toews have one year left on their respective contract and the Blackhawks have made signing them to extensions their top off-season priority. "I know we both love it here in Chicago, love playing here and having the chance to win every year," said Kane. Agent Pat Brisson represents both players and Chicago GM Stan Bowman is excited to start the negotiation process.
Patrick Kane RW CHI 6 Months
Patrick Kane picked up two assists in Game 7 of the Western Conference Final on Sunday.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he set an NHL record with nine points (two goals, seven assists) in the series while facing elimination. Kane surpassed the previous record held by Pittsburgh's Mario Lemieux, who earned eight points (three goals, five assists) in Games 5, 6 and 7, in 1992 against the Washington Capitals with the Penguins down 3-1 in the series.

"Hatred paralyses life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
"I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet."
"If you hate your parents, the man or the establishment, don't show them up by getting wasted and wrapping your car around a tree. If you really want to rebel against your parents: outearn them, outlive them, and know more than they do."

NOTEBOOK: Rivers spreading the wealth
Also, in the fourth quarter, holder Mike Scifres failed to catch a slightly off-center snap on a point-after try. The failure kept the Titans within eight points and could have allowed them to tie the game with a touchdown and two-point conversion.
Said Scifres: "I could have handled it, and I missed it."
Taking it to the Titans
The Titans are known for being a physical (some say dirty) team.
The Chargers are known as a finesse team.
At least after halftime, the Chargers won the physical battle Sunday.
"We knew what we needed to do to match their physicality," Rivers said. We've matched it every time we've beat them. They are physical team, and we've matched them, and that's why we've beat them."
The Chargers, in fact, have beaten the Titans all seven times they've played them.
Rivers was hit a lot by the Titans, though only once blatantly flagrant, a roughing the passer penalty after Jason Babin took him down low and late from behind.
"Yeah, I don't know if cheap is the word, but certainly I was hit low more today than in past games," Rivers said. "Some of that is they are fighting for pass rushes. Again, I'm not saying they are cheap, but a couple of times they were low. They're fighting to win."
Nuts 'n' Bolts
• Tyronne Green played both right and left guard. He played one series in the third quarter in place of right guard Luis Vasquez, who twisted his knee. Green came back in the fourth quarter and finished the game for left guard Kris Dielman, who suffered a stinger.
• The last play of the game, an incomplete pass from Kerry Collins to Chris Johnson, may have been costly for the Chargers. Kevin Burnett suffered a shoulder injury. It isn't known how serious the injury is, but he appeared to be unable to use his arm after the game.
• Jason Mccourty's second-quarter interception completed a perhaps unprecedented two-game double for Rivers, who was intercepted the previous week by Jason's twin brother, Devin.

G.O.O.D. Music's Pusha T is keeping the positivity around him despite a publicized feud with Young Money these past few years by co-signing his boss Kanye West appearing at Drake's OVO Fest this week.
Rather than talk greasy or take any shots, Pusha said he hoped the unexpected appearance would have a lasting impact on the music industry.
"That should be good for them. Like I mean, you know, Ye seemed happy. Drake, he spoke well about it. I mean, it's all good. I think, hopefully, it's good for music. Maybe they'll do some great music together." (Revolt TV)
Following Ye's appearance, Drizzy revealed how much he appreciated the rap star coming out to show support and called it possibly one of the most important moments in his life.
"In rap, sometimes we don't communicate enough," Drake explained. "Me and Kanye, we hadn't even talked before we got on stage together. We didn't rehearse or anything like that. That was my first time seeing him, on stage. Hiw words, that was a moment I clicked out. I don't know if this is real or not. I'm not sure if I'm still sleeping from the morning, like, I'm dreaming about how this is working out, probably the most important moment in my life today. At the end of the day, I do look up to 'Ye, he's a major influence if not the biggest influence in my career." (Revolt)
During the concert, Ye applauded Drizzy for showing love to Toronto and also said his joint Jay Z Watch the Throne 2011 album was fueled by the 26-year-old.
"It's been a lot of rappers that came in the game that wasn't able to do something like this for their city," Kanye said during the concert. "Me and Hov would have never made Watch the Throne if this n*gga wasn't putting pressure on us like that." (OVO Fest)
In February, Pusha spoke on his readiness to battle the Young Money team but also acknowledged they make quality music.
"Listen, at the end of the day, I'm ready for anything and anybody," Pusha said in an interview with DJ Whoo Kid. "I don't, this is music to me, like, this is music, this is something I'm good at. Like, it's something that I'm very good at. Like I said man, I'm spiteful. I'm saying, you're asking me, so I've got to tell you, that's real. I don't shy away from anything. I'm not into it like that. And like I said, I keep it tasteful. I keep it tasteful and I keep it hip-hop, I keep it rap. Like, that's it. I ain't trippin'. And I'm not here to discredit what they've achieved. Drake is good. This is like real talk. These guys are good." (Whoolywood)

Center underwent recent second surgery on his ankle. Terry McCormick
Center J.D. Walton's 2013 season is in danger before it gets started, as he has had a second operation and could miss the entire year.
Jeff Legwold of the Denver Post says the procedure is expected to cause Walton to miss all of the season, though Broncos officials are holding out hope that if the healing process goes well, he could potentially return in late October or early November.
Walton originally broke his ankle in September 2012 against the Oakland Raiders and was placed on injured reserve.

|Game 7 countdown, 1 p.m.: Inside the numbers
|06.15.11 at 1:18 pm ET
With the Stanley Cup finals clincher getting closer, here are a few statistics worth noting about Game 7:
— The home team is 12-3 all-time in Game 7s in the Stanley Cup finals.
— Canadian teams are 4-0 all-time at home in Game 7s during the Stanley Cup finals.
— The Canucks have won six straight games at home. They had two streaks of six straight wins at home during the regular season but never got to seven straight.
— No team has ever won three Game 7s in the same playoff year.
— The Bruins have never won a Game 7 on the road in any playoff series. They are 0-4, with the last loss coming against the Canadiens in 2008.
|Game 7 countdown, noon: Vancouver police 'part of the crowd'
|06.15.11 at 11:59 am ET
The city of Vancouver is preparing for Game 7 and the mass of people that will take to its streets. Almost 100,000 people are expected to pack the streets both during and following the game. The Vancouver police have a plan in place similar to the Olympics to maintain crowd control, called "meet and greet."
"We're a part of the crowd and we're part of the event," police spokesman Lindsey Houghton said. "It's way more fun, a much better experience, the night goes by quick and at the end of the day everybody's got stories to tell."
Police are not expecting anything close to the riots that followed the Canucks' Game 7 loss in 1994. Houghton said there has been a change in the party culture. "It's a different atmosphere around here," he said.
City liquor stores have been requested to close early, and police from other cites have been called in for reinforcement.
|Game 7 countdown, 11 a.m.: Bruins look to Pittsburgh for motivation
|06.15.11 at 11:15 am ET
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review notes that only three road teams in any North American professional sport have won a Game 7 over the past four decades. Those teams all have come from Pittsburgh.
The Pirates have two Game 7 wins on road. In 1971 they defeated the Orioles, 2-1, in Baltimore. In 1979 the Pirates also faced the Orioles in the World Series. The Pirates also won that series in seven games, with the seventh game being played in Baltimore. The Pirates won by a score of 4-1.
Most recently, the Penguins won Game 7 on the road to capture the 2009 Stanley Cup. They defeated the Red Wings, 2-1. That series went exactly the same way the Bruins-Canucks series has gone so far, with the home team winning every game, until Game 7 when the Penguins finally won on the opposing team's ice.
|Kerry Fraser on D&C: 'Nobody came to the aid of Daniel Sedin'
|06.15.11 at 11:04 am ET
Former NHL referee Kerry Fraser joined the Dennis & Callahan show Wednesday morning to offer his thoughts from a referee's viewpoint on the Stanley Cup finals. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
'This is not a typical series, certainly not a typical Stanley Cup final," Fraser said. "We've seen such crazy, bizarre things go on, and the officials have certainly been under a lot of scrutiny. There has been some inconsistencies for sure, from my perspective. They need to make sure they are well prepared and call that first penalty that happens, otherwise they're going to be batting uphill all night.'
Fraser was asked about Game 7s and if the referees don't call as many penalties as in other games.
'It's got to be imagined," he said of that perception. "The players will dictate what the officials do and how they respond. That being said, the officials have to respond appropriately. I found in most Game 7s, the players just want to play. All the stuff that happened in the previous six games is over, it's forgotten, now it's do or die. … This is the kind of game where one call, one penalty can make a huge difference in the outcome of the game."
When asked about the Johnny Boychuk hit that knocked out Mason Raymond for the rest of the series, Fraser said he didn't feel like it was deserving of a suspension. "The Vancouver fans are furious," Fraser said. "That was a normal, acceptable kind of play. Twenty seconds in, Johnny fork-hooked the legs of Raymond. It should have been a two-minute hooking or interference penalty. That was it. Once he turned him and their momentum carried him into the boards, it was an awkward position, that's all it was. There was no suspension deserved."
|Game 7 countdown, 10 a.m.: No violence toward Green Men in Game 6
|06.15.11 at 10:08 am ET
The Green Men duo ' Force and Sully ' made it through Game 6 at TD Garden without any incident.
"The Bruins were up 4-0 after 10 minutes, they were just so focused on the fact that they were going to go to Game 7, they were kind of leaving us alone," Force said. "There was no threats of violence, no beer throwing."
The duo was amused at the fact that every time a Canucks fan exited the building Bruins fans gave them a standing ovation.
"We really thought the Canucks were going to take it home, and when you're out of the game only 10 minutes in, it's really deflating to know you're going to have to sit there and watch these guys get pummeled for another two hours," Force said.
|Game 6 countdown, 6 p.m.: Inside the numbers
|06.13.11 at 6:00 pm ET
With Game 6 fast approaching here are a few notable statistics regarding the series and Stanley Cup finals history that could play a role in Monday night's game:
– The team that has scored first has won each of the first five games of the series.
– The last time the home team won every game of the Stanley Cup finals was in 2003 when the Devils beat the Ducks in seven games.
– The Bruins are 7-0 in the playoffs when Brad Marchand scores.
– Since 1989, six Stanley Cup finals series have been won in six games. All of the clinching games have been won on the road.
– The last four times a team won the Stanley Cup in Game 6, all games were decided by one goal, with three games going into overtime.
– Only two teams since 1939 have won Games 6 and 7, with Game 7 being on the road in the Stanley Cup finals. They are the Canadians in 1971 and the Penguins in 2009.
|Game 6 countdown, 5 p.m.: How will Vancouver watch?
|06.13.11 at 5:01 pm ET
Vancouver will once again see its people flock to the streets tonight to view Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals. The city of Vancouver is closing many streets in anticipation of all the people that will take to the streets to watch the game outdoors.
Friday night's Game 5 drew more than 100,000 people to downtown Vancouver to watch the game on three large televisions at three outdoor viewing locations. Two dozen people were arrested, mostly for breach of peace and public intoxication.
'Our fan zones have been a big hit downtown throughout the playoffs, and we want to keep the positive celebrations going," Mayor Gregor Robertson wrote in a statement.
There have also been other outdoor viewing locations outside of the city of Vancouver, which have drawn thousands of people. It was a rainy day Monday in Vancouver, which could effect the number of people who attend the outdoor viewing parties Monday night.
Fans can also watch the game at Rogers Arena, the home of the Canucks, for $10, with net proceeds going to charity.

use lime?
lime do I use? (A rough guide)
So the original hydraulic lime was in fact a combination of pure lime putty and a pozzolan that can still be replicated and is usually used these days in the UK to render and point externally or internally on to walls that are inherently damp and require the chemical set.
A dry powdered Natural Hydraulic Lime was introduced much later when limestone was discovered with natural impurities that when burnt mimicked the Pozzolans used by the Romans. This is perhaps more like a weaker, early form of OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) as it needs to be dry stored and a chemical set begins once water is absorbed into it. If stored dry and air tight, this form of hydraulic lime offers a potentially cheaper option for a bedding or pointing mortar. Care should be given to selecting the most appropriate Natural Hydraulic lime as they come in different strengths of NHL2, NHL3.5 and NHL5. Different manufacturers strengths can vary widely even within these grades. NHL5 is ideal for Limecrete floors, chimney flaunching, coping or ridge tiles. Obtain guidance from our technical advisors before selecting the lime for your project if in any doubt. Lots more details can be found at: www.naturalhydrauliclime.net

Throseal Waterproofing Slurry etc.
Although, we would always suggest you need to try and allow the walls to breathe, it is sometimes necessary to seal the walls from the inside. A cement based waterproofing slurry is one way to achieve this. Waterproofing guidance leaflet
To keep walls as dry as possible, it's important that there are breathable external finishes to allow any rising moisture to wick away to the outside eg bare stone or brick or lime renders and a limewash or a mineral paint. Do not seal the inside of a wall that is effectively sealed on the outside.

WEYERS CAVE -- Crews at the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport prepare for big snow storms all season.
Staff members at the airport urged anyone expecting to catch a flight Tuesday night or Wednesday to contact United Airlines to make sure it hasn't been cancelled. They also suggested rearranging any plans because there is a large potential for delays.
United Airlines has implemented a travel waiver option to avoid any of the normal fees that come with rebooking.
"SHD will be prepared and we can typically handle an event of this size without any issues. It's the airports that we feed into, like Dulles, that might become a little bit congested. We might see some issues with delayed flights or cancellations," said Greg Campbell, the executive director of SHD.

Apr 6, 2012Beautiful indeed not easy to forget. At times a bit slow, but still a great piece. I believe people should watch it at least once in their life. I will give it a 8.5 if that was possible to do here.
Nov 24, 20139 Oscars for a reason. It's a classic, yet for some reason not very appreciated anymore. This isn't just a story, this is a beautiful achievement in filming a story as accurate as possible. This is the first film footage of inside the Forbidden City, wow.
Mar 9, 2014Now this is an epic. The film has a regal air about it as it tells the story of Puyi, the last Emperor or China. At the end of the day, it is clear as day why this one won the Oscars it won and just how deserving it truly was. The film sympathetically portrays the final Emperor as we cannot help but look at him as a man who was revered as a small child, but as time went on, his power becomes less-and-less, before he completely loses all of it. What really makes this film work is the acting. The performance by John Lone as the adult Puyi, as well as the child actors who portray Puyi in his younger years is marvelous, as is the supporting work turned in by Peter O'Toole. On top of this, the sets throughout were top-notch and really oozed of that time period and really captured the essence of the era depicted.
On the negative side of things, the film can be hard to follow at times, what with flash forward storytelling that is utilized. You kind of have to re-adjust to the storyline, as well as who the characters are, since there are quite a bit of them. The other complaint I have is certainly the length. While I watched the two hour and 40 minute version, it still felt a little on the long side, especially considering that there was no real...action or drama that gripped you enough for it to warrant being as long as it is.… Expand
The movie's considerable emotional force springs from the splendor of its visual poetry. Mr. Bertolucci allows the sweep of 60 years of Chinese history to unfold around Pu Yi as background noise to his peculiar, poignant role in the emergence of modern China. [25 Nov 1987, p.1]
If you want the true, jaw-dropping details of Pu Yi's life, try the biography by Edward Behr, Newsweek International's cultural editor. If you want a staggering and certainly singular movie experience, The Last Emperor will do very nicely. [20 Nov 1987, p.1]
The reign of the last emperor, a reign in name alone, was an exercise in style over substance; it is perhaps fitting that his cinematic biography should follow the same incarcerated course. [20 Nov 1987, p.D1]

LUBBOCK, Texas — If there is an upside to the heat, it's less bugs. Our record temperatures have made it almost impossible for some populations to grow.
Mosquitoes, in particular are thirsting for water and simply not hatching their eggs because of that. This is good news, especially when we're talking about a potentially deadly virus we usually see this time of the year - West Nile Virus.
Right about now we usually see those creepy, crawly critters. Tim Gafford with Gafford Pest Control says the lack of moisture has depleted some populations.

A new study from Penn Medicine researchers in the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics demonstrated that bed bugs, like the triatomines, can transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.
The program enables pest management professionals (PMPs) to evaluate ActiveGuard Mattress Liners in real world applications.
Ronnie Caldwell, president of Innovative Pest Management, Denver, N.C., is one of the stars of the new Bruce Hedrick video 'A Better Man.'
The country has detected its first domestic case of the painful mosquito-borne viral disease chikungunya in the southwest of the country, the state government of Chiapas said on Saturday.
The company's 1st Bi-Annual Thermal Remediation Bed Bug National Conference will be held March 8-10, 2015 in Grapevine, Texas.

I completely understand the emotions you are all going thru. We have been trying for about a year for #2. The first time we had to take Clomid for it to work and once we got the dosage correct, I was pregnant that next cycle! Now this is cycle #4 on clomid with nothing... For the next 8 months I know (or work with) someone who is pregnant due to deliver - one each month. I fully expect someone to call me in a couple of weeks to announce they are due in March. It just fits the pattern. It is so difficult to maintain this balance of internal sadness (for me) and external joy (for all of my friends). I don't want to lessen their excitement in any way just because of my misfortunes.... I really am happy for them, its just difficult to show it. Make sense?
