Stadium Takes Big Step, Passes Minnesota House Of RepresentativesPosted by on May 7, 2012 – 9:40 pm
The Vikings organization, its fans and Minnesota lawmakers have been battling for a new stadium to keep the Vikings a part of Minnesota culture for more than a decade. And tonight, after a full day of debate inside the State Capitol, a huge step toward that end was made.
Stadium legislation passed the Minnesota House of Representatives by a margin of 73-58, setting the stage for debate and a vote in the Minnesota Senate on Tuesday. Fans played a huge role in making a push to gain passage in the House, and now fans can have the same influence as the process moves on to the Senate. Click here to find out how to contact your Senator and urge them to vote for the stadium legislation.
While more work remains to reach resolution on this long-standing issue, tonight's outcome represents a historic moment in the push for a stadium that will keep the Vikings in Minnesota for many, many generations.

Vikings Fans Can Help Make Stadium Dream A Reality This WeekendPosted by on May 4, 2012 – 8:49 am
Vikings fans have played a key role toward generating momentum for passage of stadium legislation. With the Minnesota House of Representatives now set to vote on the current proposal on Monday, the ultimate goal is now closer than ever.
The Vikings are urging fans to help make the final push and make the stadium dream a reality.
"The outpouring of support from Vikings fans has greatly intensified over the last several weeks, but it's crucial that our fans continue to be heard over the weekend," Vikings Director of Corporate Communications Jeff Anderson said. "Every day we will be asking supporters to email, call, and tweet their State rep and tell them to vote 'yes' on Monday. Given that we've never been this close, there is absolutely no reason to hold back now."
Vikings fans can call or email thier Representative to ask them to vote YES on the stadium bill to put thousands of Minnesotans back to work and help secure the Vikings in Minnesota for the next generation of fans. And don't think your voice won't be heard.
Minnesotans "are telling me that they want a stadium…a first-class facility that not only will be the home of our beloved Vikings for generations, but also a stadium that is used by the entire state," Sen. Julie Rosen, chief author of the stadium legislation, told the Star Tribune. "That will attract a Super Bowl, Final Four and provide opportunities for amateur sports, high school sporting events and other organizations."

Stadium Bill Picks Up Steam, But Still Plenty Of Work To Be DonePosted by on April 24, 2012 – 6:49 am
It was just eight days ago when a Minnesota House of Representatives panel shot down stadium legislation that seemed to kill any chance of a resolution to the issue this year and thus putting the Vikings future in Minnesota in peril. But now, with the clocking ticking, positive momentum is building.
A headline in Tuesday's Star Tribune reads "Vikings stadium revived, rolling," and the opening paragraph by the paper's writers – Mike Kaszuba and Jim Ragsdale – states that "the project's momentum accelerated throughout the day amid indications the full House and Senate could vote on the proposal by Friday."
Reaching the point where the full House and Senate vote on a proposal is the key. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL Stadium Committee chairman/Pittsburgh Steelers Owner Art Rooney II visited the State Capitol late last week and met with Governor Dayton and State leaders. Those meetings were called productive and Commissioner Goodell indicated that his desire was for the stadium proposal to be voted on before the Legislature adjourned.
This is all good news, but also keep in mind that plenty of work remains and we're not out of the woods yet. Stay tuned to vikings.com for the latest information, keep your fingers crossed, and use this link to contact your legislators and let them know that the time is now to solve this issue and keep the Vikings in Minnesota.

New Stadium Will Employ Thousands of Minnesota Construction WorkersPosted by on April 9, 2012 – 2:37 pm
With just several weeks remaining in the 2012 Legislative Session, discussions over a new stadium are continuing at the State Capitol. While much of the focus has been on the facility's public-private financing plan, Governor Mark Dayton and many legislators view the project as an opportunity to put thousands of unemployed construction workers back on the job. Currently Minnesota's construction industry is experiencing 20% unemployment, three times higher than the State's overall unemployment figure. Given that building the stadium will require nearly 4.3 million work hours with almost $300 million in wages for construction workers, we can have a immediate impact on the suffering industry while building this publicly-owned State asset.
Be sure to check out the stadium video the team released today, which includes interviews from various members of Mortenson Construction, builders of both Target Field and TCF Bank Stadium. For a more in-depth look at the jobs impact of a new stadium, take a look at the following numbers:
– 13,000 jobs, including 7,500 construction jobs (three-year construction period)
– Nearly 4.3 million work hours: According to Minnesota's Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), unemployment in the construction trades industry is nearly 20%, three times higher than Minnesota's overall unemployment rate.
Jobs for Minnesotans: As was the case with Target Field, over 90% of the labor and subcontract value is
expected to go back to MInnesotans.
Provisions for women and minority-owned businesses: Project goals include agreements to contract with women and minority-owned businesses as well as small business contractors throughout the State.
Nearly $300 million in wages for construction workers: Fabrication and delivery of project materials will create separate, substantial number of jobs with living wages.
Minnesota benefits from putting construction workers back to work: During the construction period, the jobs supported by this project will generate roughly $10 million in income tax revenue for the State's General Fund and approximately $5 million for the State's Unemployment Insurance (UI) Fund.
Work can begin almost immediately: 900,000 work hours in the first year of construction.
New stadium has lasting effects on the State economy: State of Minnesota will collect $26 million annually from Vikings-related sales and income taxes in the first year of stadium operation, according to a study by Convention, Sports & Leisure. Tax revenue will grow to approximately $61 million per year by 2045.
3,400 on-going full and part-time jobs from operation of facility: Vikings game days currently support over 2,800 jobs.

Most Minnesotans Support Downtown Minneapolis Stadium Proposal, Poll SaysPosted by on March 23, 2012 – 3:24 pm
The following information was taken from a press release issued by Home Field Advantage on Friday.
More than 60 percent of Minnesotans support the proposed new Vikings stadium on the existing Metrodome site, according to a new statewide poll commissioned by Home Field Advantage, a consortium of Minneapolis business and community leaders.
The poll – conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc., of Washington, D.C. – asked a random sampling of 1,000 Minnesotans this week whether they would support or oppose a stadium financed with state gambling and existing revenues, along with a major contribution by the Vikings.
The response: 61 percent voiced support, 30 percent were opposed and 9 percent said they were undecided about the proposed deal, which has the backing of Gov. Mark Dayton and is currently under consideration by Minnesota legislators. The poll, conducted March 16 to 19, carries a margin error of plus or minus 3.2 percent.
"The results of this poll confirm that the majority of Minnesotans want a new Vikings stadium in downtown Minneapolis," said Sam Grabarski, president of the Minneapolis Downtown Council and spokesman for Home Field Advantage.
Todd Klingel, president of the Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce and a member of Home Field Advantage, said the poll results send a clear message to state lawmakers.
"It's important that the Legislature work with Minneapolis officials and the Vikings to get this deal done," said Klingel, referring to the stadium financing proposal.
The deal would require the football team's owners to pay half of the stadium's estimated $975 million cost. Most of the state's contribution would come from gambling dollars, with no new tax increases or use of general-revenue funds. Minneapolis would chip in $150 million, exclusively from existing city hospitality taxes.
A few of the polls other important findings…
– Across Minnesota, an overwhelming majority of residents consider the Vikings an asset to the state, according to the poll. When asked to rate the importance of the Vikings staying in Minnesota, nearly 72 percent of respondents said that goal is "very important" or "somewhat important."
– Most Minnesotans also are keeping up with news about the stadium issue. Nearly three-quarters of those polled said they are following the subject "very closely" or "somewhat closely," with just a fraction – 9 percent – expressing a lack of interest in the stadium debate.
–In Duluth, 60 percent voiced support, versus 29 percent who were opposed. Nearly 11 percent were undecided in Duluth.
– In Rochester, 56 percent said they support the stadium deal, with 40 percent opposed and 4 percent undecided.

New Stadium Proposal By The NumbersPosted by on March 1, 2012 – 11:24 am
Thursday morning was a busy one for the Vikings, as Governor Mark Dayton was joined by State Legislators, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, business and labor leaders, and team owners Zygi and Mark Wilf at the State Capitol to an agreement to build a new "People's Stadium" on the current Metrodome site.
Hopefully many of you watched the press conference live on vikings.com, but for those of you who weren't able to do so, here's a brief rundown of the basics…
– The site is located adjacent to the current Metrodome site, and construction of the new stadium could be structured in a way that the Vikings would have to play just 1 season at TCF Bank Stadium. The new fixed-roof stadium will be 70% larger than the current Metrodome and will include modern fan amenities that will provide a first-class game-day environment for fans.
– The stadium will be a multi-purpose facility that will be open year-round to host events such as, but not limited to, NCAA Final Fours, trade shows and conventions, high school and college sporting events, cultural celebrations and other entertainment events.
– There will be 2,500 parking spaces adjacent to the stadium.
– Total projected cost of the entire project is $975 million, and the Vikings will pay for 50.6% of those costs. That total includes $427 million in up-front costs and $327.1 million in operating costs and capital expenses.
– The State of Minnesota's contribution will be 26.7% ($398M) and the City of Minneapolis's contribution will be 22.7% ($338.7M). Most importantly, in my opinion at least, is that no new taxes will be required in Minneapolis or statewide to pay for the stadium. That is to say, no taxpayer dollars will be taken from the state's general fund.
– The Vikings will sign a 30-year lease to play in the new stadium, ensuring that the team remains an asset to the state for generations.

Vikings Fans To Host "Stadium Huddles" During Super BowlPosted by on February 3, 2012 – 12:02 pm
With the 2012 Legislative Session underway, Vikings fans are once again stepping up to help resolve the long-standing stadium issue. To show support for finalizing a deal this session, fans across the state are signing up to host "Stadium Huddles" at their Super Bowl parties this weekend.
"Our fans have been great about supporting the team throughout this process," said Vikings Vice President of Public Affairs and Stadium Development Lester Bagley. "We're now at a critical juncture at the State Capitol and we need fans' voices to push us over the top."
Anyone interested in more information on hosting a Stadium Huddle this weekend, joining Minnesota Momentum or other ways to get involved and make their support known can visit the new stadium playbook page on vikings.com.
Additionally, Street Teams will visit various bars and restaurants around the state this Sunday to share stadium information and sign up new supporters. The teams will visit the following locations just prior to kickoff and during the first half of the game:
Mankato – Boomtown (1600 Warren Street, #17)
Maple Grove – Champps Sports Bar & Grill (135121 80th Circle N)
Maple Grove – The Lookout (8672 Pineview Lane)

Wilfs Send Letter to MinneapolisPosted by on January 10, 2012 – 10:49 am
The Vikings and the State of Minnesota continue working toward finding a stadium solution that will keep the Vikings in Minnesota. While the Vikings believe that Arden Hills is the ideal stadium location, the club has been asked by State Leaders to assist the City of Minneapolis with its site analysis and due diligence.
In a letter from Owner/President Mark Wilf to Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and Council President Barbara Johnson, the Vikings have followed up with the City of Minneapolis on the City's state preference for a building a new stadium at the Metrodome site. You can read the letter in its entirety by clicking here.
Building a new stadium at the current Metrodome site would require the Vikings to play three seasons at TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota, and the letter from Wilf to the City lays out costs that would be associated with this move, including: TCF Bank Stadium Revenue Limitations; Capital Improvements to TCF Bank Stadium; and NFL Program Requirements at Metrodome.
In summary, there would be $67 million in additional costs associated with building a new stadium at the current Metrodome site, and thus relocating the Vikings home games to TCF Bank Stadium. In the letter, Wilf also references disruptions to the football team, fans, sponsors and partners, as well as the potential challenges created for University of Minnesota neighborhoods during the three-year period in which the Vikings would play home games on campus.
Governor Dayton has asked the City of Minneapolis to submit a stadium proposal by January 12, 2012.

Vikings Lease At Metrodome Expires TodayPosted by on January 1, 2012 – 11:18 am
Today is the last game of Jim Kleinsasser's career, but it's also the last game under the Vikings lease at the Metrodome. That means that after today, the Vikings are essentially stadium free agents, which adds even more importance to an already super-important stadium issue in Minnesota.
Vikings Vice President of Public Affairs and Stadium Development Lester Bagley took several moments before kickoff of today's game to discuss the current state of affairs with members of the local media.
"Thirty great seasons at the Metrodome," Bagley said. "This is the last season on our lease. It's been thirty exciting seasons, and we appreciate our State leaders putting the stadium issue into play. Our lease expires after the game today and we'll be the only NFL team without a lease. There's urgency to resolve this issue, but we're encouraged by out State leadership and where they are, and the business community and organized labor. We think we're in position to get this resolved."
That is good news to hear, and hopefully over the next several months there is more and more positive momentum generated to get the stadium issue resolved and to keep the Vikings where they belong – in Minnesota.

LONDON — The Church of England says all its dioceses have voted to let women serve as bishops, leaving just one major hurdle to changing centuries of church practice.
The issue has long divided the Anglican Communion, a Christian denomination with more than 80 million adherents worldwide.
Anglican churches in Australia, New Zealand and the United States already have women serving as bishops.
The Church of England has grappled for years with whether to admit women to the hierarchy. The church's governing General Synod voted in February to send draft legislation allowing female bishops to its 44 dioceses. The church said Friday that all had voted in favor, with Manchester, the last to do so, deciding Thursday.
The legislation will now go back to the Synod in July for a final vote.

This recommendation, which reaffirms and builds upon Recommendation 77-3, identifies procedures and best practices for managing written and oral communications that may occur between an agency and interested persons, often referred to as "ex parte" communications, regarding the substance of an anticipated or ongoing informal rulemaking proceeding, which are not placed in the docket at the time they occur.
This project examined how agencies use internet-based technologies, particularly their websites, to support rulemaking activities and improve access to e-rulemaking portals. It sought to identify useful innovations and best practices that could be spread to other agencies.
This study focused on the many legal issues that arise in e-Rulemaking, including how agencies may use software to determine that submitted comments are identical or nearly identical, and whether agencies can (and should) destroy paper copies of comments scanned to electronic form. The resulting recommendation identifies approaches that agencies can lawfully use to reduce costs and improve efficiency in e-Rulemaking.
Background: In the last three months of a presidential administration, rulemaking activity increases considerably when compared to the same period in a non-transition year.* Although part of this increase likely results from ordinary procrastination and external delays, scholars have suggested that administrations also use the "midnight" period more strategically. First, administrations are said to have...

Our five remaining cheftestants enter the kitchen looking weary (PTSD from last episodes Guantnamo-style sensory deprivation, perhaps?), and Curtis is already smirking because he knows hes about to make them do something stupid. Were in a kitchen full of cutting-edge equipment, he tells them, but too bad, so sad they wont be able to use any of that for this Quickfire. Instead, theyll be cooking breakfast in ten minutes using only microwaves!
I have a line of food that is microwavable, says Floyd (we know you do), but I have never cooked eggs in a microwave. So hes never heard of an Egg Wave? But Floyd isnt the only one using eggs. Almost everyone else is using them, too, along with bacon, chanterelles, and spinach. Seriously, four of the dishes they come up with are variations of each other, but its the producers fault for constantly coming up with challenges that yield homogeneous results. Only Mary Sue thinks outside the box with a warm goat-cheese-and-avocado sandwich with bacon vinaigrette, which is not breakfast food, but gold star for effort.
For no reason at all, the Quickfire judges are comedy duo Frangela, whom you might remember if you used to spend your Friday nights misguidedly watching Best Week Ever. Like many comedians, they say nothing funny at all, and the only good thing they do is ask Curtis to take his shirt off. (He does not oblige.) Curtis advises the ladies never to cook bacon naked. And never use a meat grinder naked, too! Floyd adds. Lets leave the dumb jokes to Hugh, shall we? Anyway, Hugh wins because he baked an egg in a microwave and made it look pretty.
Then, because recipes are a lot like formulas, five scientists come out to explain the elimination challenge. Theyre all really smart people working on things like nanotechnology and experimental physics, but theyve been called here to explain food-related concepts like emulsions and acidity. (Is this more insulting for the chefs or the scientists?) Hilariously, the chefs will be paired with the scientists to create a dish and a presentation that reflect a certain scientific principle for an edible science fair to be attended by high schoolers. And they can only cook with beakers and Bunsen burners! This is going to be bad.
Traci wants to make ceviche to demonstrate acidity (bad idea); Naomi wants to make little pizzas to demonstrate elasticity (huh?); and Mary Sue wants to drizzle different things on churros to demonstrate viscosity (seems kind of weak, but whatever). Meanwhile, Hugh is getting schooled by Augustine, the polymer physicist (total star of this episode), on how to do his emulsification presentation. Appropriately, they get along like oil and water, and we see a pic of high-school-era Hugh in Ray Bans and a red bandana to show that he was too cool for science, even though his not-so-cool memory of that age is, I liked drinking a lot of coffee and hanging out.
Its time for the edible science fair and the kids flock to Mary Sues churros station while giving Tracis ceviche the side-eye. The
judges critics show up and OMG ITS PADMA! Who tricked her into coming on this mess? Also, Ruth is back and James is wearing a bow tie and suspenders, so theres that. And then, possibly the worst thing weve ever seen, all the food is served in petri dishes. Padma eating out of a petri dish is something that could only occur on a show of this caliber.
The whole segment is really boring because theres a lot of repetition and more focus on the presentations than the food. Naomis presentation is laughable because shes making it up as she goes along and somehow tries to relate mushrooms to elasticity. Floyd looks likes hes set to win because his beef prepared various ways nimbly shows off why meat browns and looks scrumptious as well. Hugh looks set to lose because his fried okra salad has broken mayonnaise running all over it.
The critics sit at an actual high school science lab table to discuss what just went down. James is surprised the food tasted good because of all the crap hes eaten this season, and Padma wonders what she is doing there. Even though Floyd should win, Mary Sue takes the prize. James proves himself a man never to be questioned on the issue of emulsion, because he attacks Hughs broken mayonnaise relentlessly. Traci gets guff for using lemons for acidity. Naomis soggy calzones come under fire. That melting gele really did spurt into your mouth in the most unpleasant manner, says James. Yeah, he went there.
In the end, Hugh is dismissed for his dismal mayo. Its too bad, seeing as he was able to hold everything together since returning after his first elimination, but ultimately everything broke apart. Get it? Okay, well stop now.
Next week: Naomi screams at some guy! A homecoming dinner for members of the military! Floyd makes a guy cry! Floyd cries!

Here's how it works: Transfer in approximately 45 hours of course work. Then, you'll join a cohort learning community of about 15 students. Your group will take one course at a time every five weeks–including thought-provoking subjects like global diversity and organizational ethics. About 24 months later, you'll have a B.S. in Management Studies–a real life degree from a real-life university.

At Grandma's on Mother's Day, we found a memory box containing the "1938 Psalms" copied by my grandfather:
Mr. Roosevelt is my Shepherd, I am in want.
He maketh me lie down on park benches
He leadeth me beside still factories.
He leadeth me in the path of destruction for the New Deal's sake.
Yea, tho I walk through the valley of depression, I anticipate no recovery, for he is with me.
His policies and diplomacies they frighten me.
He prepareth a reduction in my salary.
And in the presence of my enemies, he anointed my small income with taxes.
My expenses runneth over.
Truly unemployment shall follow all the days of my life.
And I shall live in a mortgaged home for ever.
This was published by the Harrisonburg Daily News-Record. It was submitted to the newspaper by Sara Liskey of Elkton.
It doesn't take a lot of imagination to replace Roosevelt and 1938 with Obama and 2009, respectively.

Once You Pop You Can't StopPosted: August 14, 2014 Filed under: Accessories 4 Comments
Who was your favourite cartoon character as a child? Mine was Charlie Brown and I so wanted to live in his world with Linus, Lucy, Schroeder and Peanuts. Now that I've discovered these dramatic comic strip bags by Pop Up Bags, I can live out my cartoon dreams in glorious technicolour with a solid bold outline. I no longer pine for Chuck but I can certainly play the part of his cartoon girlfriend with one of these scene stealers.
The Pop Up Bags website doesn't give any indication of how long the company has been trading or give any hints about what their next range may be, but I'm certainly following them on every social media platform available because I. MUST. SEE. MORE.

A few weeks back I posted about Demestiks New York who create great pieces using vibrant African prints that I fell in love with instantly . If African fabrics are a little too bright and attention grabbing for you to wear as clothing, how about in smaller doses in the way of accessories?
Dionne Gooding is an accessories designer who specialises in shoes and bags, utilising a variety of different types of fabrics including wax prints (Ankara), and Kente (woven designs) in her work. These bright pieces when teamed with plain colours would really make an outfit "pop" and I have my eye on a few items myself, particularly the clutch bags- and who doesn't like a superbly distinctive clutch? Sign me up for just about all of them.

Imagine walking into Autzen Stadium for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. What do you experience? Are you overwhelmed by the sixty thousand fans screaming "O?" Do you feel lost in a sea of green and yellow jerseys? Or are you intimidated by the opposing team? These consuming feelings are pressed upon young freshmen each new season.
Going from a top senior talent under the Friday night lights to an inexperienced freshman on a team almost doubled in size, can be intimidating and, for some, unbearable. However, he who rises to the occasion and pushes through the intense feelings, experiences one of the greatest moments of his young life. Taking your game to the next level is both challenging and rewarding. But how, exactly, is this accomplished? I enlisted redshirt freshman and OLB Ivan Faulhaber for help, and he gives us an inside look at the transition from high school to college level football.
Faulhaber is from Eugene. As a starting linebacker and slot receiver at Sheldon High School, Faulhaber grew up watching, studying and longing to be a part of the high-flying Oregon Ducks football program. In high school football, it is not uncommon to find top players on both sides of the ball. Rest assured the competition level in college doesn't give this same leeway. Faulhaber explains, "The competition is a lot higher. You come from your high school where you're one of the top players on the team to being a lower-level player when you arrive. But once you get the hang of it, competing gets easier."
The "pre-game jitters" are only the beginning. From the moment you step onto the practice fields, you know it's time to go to work. Everyday is an opportunity to improve and prove just what you are capable of, especially for a freshman. Faulhaber describes the atmosphere on a Saturday morning before a game: "Well before the game, it's all seriousness. Guys are listening to their music, talking calmly amongst others, and just trying to focus on the game. It's all business for us." The very tactics that are used as recruiting tools also give off a quivering vibe. Whether it's the new Hattfield-Dowlin performance center, the dedicated fans, or the Nike endorsements, there is a lot of pressure on young athletes to perform.
Finding a balance between school work, social life and football is easier said than done. And while these same demands are present in high school, every one of them is heightened in college. Faulhaber says that the toughest part of this transition was "… getting used to it all. We treat this like a job, spending up to 6 hours a day at our facility. So with all that time consumption, it makes it hard to do other things like schoolwork and hanging out with friends — something I was accustomed to." Dedication and confidence are the minimum requisites, there is no room for doubt.
However, support is not limited on the Oregon Ducks roster as the upperclassmen and coaching staff are what draw young athletes, including Faulhaber, to become a Duck. "The team has a family-like atmosphere and vibe to it," Faulhaber says, "… fitting in and feeling welcome is easy." Being able to rely on your teammates and call them family makes the process of going from the big shot in high school to the little brother in college less problematic.
Not only is a supportive team crucial for anxious freshmen, but also having a particular role model on the team acting as a guide can benefit the changeover. For Faulhaber, that personal connection is with senior Tony Washington, starting DE for the Ducks. Ivan has this to say of Washington: "He does everything with a purpose and has a great work ethic. He has really started to push people harder in this offseason to get the whole team ready for the regular season."
"Win The Day. Stay in the present. Don't get too far ahead of yourself. Remain calm under pressure and look to your teammates." This represents the legacy Chip Kelly left behind for the program and players to continue on. The Oregon Ducks work as one unit on the field and as a family off the field, welcoming the incoming freshmen with encouragement and motivation, knowing that they hold the future of the Ducks' dynasty.

Glitches Turn Pikachu Into Nightmare Fuel
Pikachu...are you okay? Where did your face go? Why is your body doing that!? »
Pikachu...are you okay? Where did your face go? Why is your body doing that!? »
This weekend, a Pikachu parade was held in Seoul, South Korea. Too many people showed up. »
Okay, so Ash kinda sucks as a Pokémon Trainer. But damn, that kid is a physical marvel. »
Pikachu is so cute that you might just want to snuggle up with the Pocket Monster and go to sleep. Well, now you can. »
You could say that's pretty big. You can say it's even as big as Pikachu really is, because, well, it is. »
Considering how popular maid cafes are in Tokyo's gaming district, it shouldn't be a surprise that the Pikachu Cafe got a maid outfit of its own—temporarily, at least! »
Last Friday, a bunch of Pikachus began marching through Yokohama. Your typical Friday, this wasn't. »
If you happened to be in Yokohama yesterday, then you might have noticed something incredibly adorable: a small "outbreak" of real-life Pikachu roaming around, being all cute. »
Did I say Pikachu? Sorry, I meant Pikachus. Plural. »
Ages ago, a particular Pikachu bouncy house was noticed in Japan. The entrance looked like, for lack of a better word, a Pikachu vagina. Earlier today, it was reported that the "giant Pikachu" was once again making an appearance. Eager folks, climb right on in! »
This weekend in Tokyo, the Pikachu the Movie XY Exhibit opened in Roppongi Hills along with the Pikachu Cafe. Visitors got a hands-on look at the Pokémon movies as well as a chance to scarf down Pikachu burgers. Let's have a look at the festivities! »
Japan already has loads of Pikachu- and Pokémon-themed products, whether that's soft drinks, candy, or even curry. But typically, those simply have a Pocket Monster slapped on the labelling. The official Pikachu Cafe is a tad different. »
Today's gaming highlights: Some of the best moments from the biggest fighting game tournament of the year, plus incredible world records in both Spelunky and World of Warcraft! »
Can you draw Pikachu? Do you want to learn how? Pokémon Character Art Director Ken Sugimori is here to teach us all. »
Among Pokemon fans, it's well-known that Pikachu loves ketchup. Heck, back in 2000, Heinz even released a special edition ketchup with Pikachu on the bottle. But the character hasn't been seen eating it in the anime for years. That is, until last night. »
You might not think a hedgehog can pull off impersonations of, say, a dog, a bear or even Pikachu. Then again, you might not have met Marutaro the Hedgehog. »
Things don't always go according to plan when you cook meals—that's normal. Your end result doesn't always look like the snazzy pictures on the recipe instructions, or the boxes containing the ingredients. But this monstrosity that someone baked is something else. »
Aw, snow Pikachu is so cute! So small. And now, let's see what he looks like in his evolved snow type. »

The Official Site of The Jakarta Schools Football League
SEASON ENDS WITH 1000th GAME AND GALA BONANZA
Close to 2,500 players and parents crowded into the BIS World Theatre on May 31st to witness the end of season Coca-Cola League and Greenfields Cup Award ceremonies in what was another momentous occasion for the League. Earlier in the afternoon, when the final whistle blew on Open All Girls Cup Final played out between BIS Red and Dragons FC, the League notched-up its 1,000 game of the season and brought a new landmark conclusion to the 2014 campaign.
There were total of 11 finals played on Sunday with the cups and medals being awarded on stage by TV celebrity PJ Roberts and professional footballers from Persib binding. The morning session saw 2 penalty shoot-outs with Deutsche International School the U8 C/D/E trophy after a nail-biting 1-1 draw in regulation time against National High Jakarta School. In U8 A/B SD Al Fath took the Greenfields Cup trophy for the first time with another penalty shoot-out and victory over a disappointed Dragons PIE from Jakarta International School. In the U10 A/B division, BIS Red continued their unbeaten and double-winning season by lifting the Greenfields Cup alongside the Coca-Cola league trophy when they beat Avicenna School comfortably on the day. And in U10 C/D/E Binus Serpong beat a reorganized JJC Blue team to also record their first Greenfileds Cup victory after 5 years in the league.
The U12's went pretty much according to form in both sections with wins for Bogor Raya in C/D/E over Tunas Muda and Dragons FC over JJC-A Samurai in the blue ribbon A/B divisional championship.
The U12 All Girls division saw BIS Red lift the trophy after beating arch-rivals JIS Dragons in an exciting 2-1 win.
In U14, Ibnu Sina went down to a successful SIS United in the C/D competition and Muhammadiyah, as anticipated, maintained their unbeaten season and lifted the Greenfields Cup against Dragons FC.
The U16's final provided a shock result when B division runners-up Santa Laurensia toppled U16A runners-up BIS Red in a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 draw. A late equalizer from BIS after trailing for most of the game went down to a sudden death outcome after each side scored 4 out of 5 in the first phase. A massive crowd was present to watch the Laurensia goalkeeper save the 4th penalty of the shoot-out to the delight of the Laurensia supporters.
BIS Red had better luck however in the All Girls open final when they reserved finally beat Dragons Blue by 3 goals to 1 after 2 draws in the League competition, to take the Greenfields Cup title. And it was this game which fittingly became the celebrated 1,000th game of the 2014 JSFA playing program which started back in January 7th this year.
The 2014 Sportsmanship Awards for outstanding contribution to the League for reliability, good attitude and community awareness went to the following schools:
Under 8's - Beacon Academy
Under 10's - Sinar Mas World Academy
Under 12's - Singapore International School-Kelapa Gading
Under 14's - Macan Perigi - Charity Team
Under 16's and above - Bunda Mulia International School
Congratulations to everyone who has participated and particularly to the hard working committee who made it all happen.

About 2014 League
The Jakarta Schools Football League was founded in 1995 by a small group of British International School
Bintaro Jaya Sextor IX
Jln Raya Jombang Cileduk
Pondok Aren,Tangerang
Contact / Venue Coordinator
Marc Sprakel
0811836172 students with the sole aim to organize and deliver quality inter-schools association football in the Jakarta area. The JSFA or 'Coca-Cola' League as it has become known due to the continued involvement of Coca-Cola as lead sponsor from that time, has grown from 6 schools and 12 teams in 1995 to what it is today as perhaps one of the largest schools football competitions in the world with 210 teams from 65 schools fielding a total of 3,500 students over 4 playing months between January and April every year.
The 2014 Season will see the League organize and manage close to 1000 matches for students between the ages of 7 to 18 years old operating over 11 different venues, mostly host schools, as detailed in the venues section of this website.
The League is totally non-profit making and raises its operating cost requirements from its major supporting sponsors Coca-Cola and Greenfields Milk, who support The Greenfields Challenge Cup competition in which all teams in the various age categories participate plus annual subscription fees. All monies raised by the League are spent on venues, trophies, referees, Gala Day events and media.
The Leagues finances are managed exclusively within the British International School Foundation that is the legal entity within which the JSFA is housed and who control all receipts and payments on the League's behalf.
The 'Football for Life' campaign seeks to deliver an outreach programme to children in need in Jakarta. The League has always coordinated and encouraged charity teams to participate in the League targeted at children from orphanages and street kids who are organized under the auspices of The British International School Community Action Service programme and participating Students.
The Football For Life initiative however is an extension of this important role and seeks to embrace a wider cross section of children in need in Jakarta through financial support and the active participation by JSFA members in assisting worthy child related causes. The 'FFL' campaign raises independent funds via various fund raising initiatives to enable this to happen.
Full details are available under the 'FFL' banner on this site or by contacting any member of the main committee.
The JSFA main committee is always looking for additional members to participate in what is a positive and exciting experience for all concerned. Should you wish to support the objective of the League, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Pedro Rizzo Fight Booked
Updated: April 20, 2012
The Last Emperor Fedor Emelianenko continues to mop up the last remaining heavyweights outside the Ultimate Fighting Championship. M-1 made the announcement via twitter that Fedor will face former UFC fighter Pedro "The Rock" Rizzo on June 21, 2012 at the Ice Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia.
What do you think of this match-up CAGE fans?

Fedor you have proved you were a great fighter but the UFC just proved to be too much for you so i guess whipping up on these second class fighters is what you have become. Such a shame you would stoop back to inferior fighters but i suppose a paycheck is a paycheck.

Installing outdoor sun shades can significantly reduce cooling costs inside your home and create a pleasant atmosphere for your patio, deck or sunroom. Outdoor shades, also called patio shades or porch shades, are made with solar shade fabric that stops the sun's heat before it strikes your window, reducing heat transfer and keeping your home or business cooler. Exterior solar shades and patio door blinds also reduce glare and help block damaging UV rays without losing your view. Blindsgalore offers a wide variety of discount outdoor window shades and outdoor patio shades from Coolaroo and Bali in many colors and child safe models.
Outdoor sun shades, solar shades and patio shades are operated with a continuous cord loop system which remains the same height regardless of the position of the shade. These cord loops are available in stainless steel or fabric to match the shade if desired. Overall, porch shades and outdoor roll up shades have an easy and convenient operation system.
Light control of patio shades and outdoor solar shades is determined by the percentage of openness of the shade material. The percentage of openness refers to how much outside light and visibility is allowed to pass through the shade. Screen materials with a higher percentage allow more light and visibility to pass through and vice versa.
Our outdoor shades and porch blinds are custom made to fit the measurements of your windows and doors so they fit properly and work much better. The superior manufacturing processes and premium materials used in our outdoor patio shades and porch shades help extend their lifespan, ensuring you a top quality product that will complement your other home furnishings.

As for some kind of Gallen vs. Parker argument that you are trying to commit me to, show me where I said Parkers the better player. You wont find it.
My argument against several NSW backrowers is that they miss too many tackles. Guess what? Their Origin in Game 1 and 2 mirror these numbers. Your argument against Harrison was something like you didn't even notice him. GTFO! You want me to pull up his statline so far in the two Origin games?
Surprise, surprise... Youre once again missing the point.
Point #1 - that would be all well and good if those saud origin performers were actually worth a pinch of shit. Players such as Myles and Harrison are just getting strung along by the magic in the QLD side and are viewed as 'great' by association, when they're actually shit compared to the likes of Gallen, Lewis, Watmough, Glenn Stewart, and Bird.
Yes they might miss some tackles but scrambling defence secures those misses, and I'd rather have an attacking back row that could asisst in scoring points as opposed to a defensive backrow who are in essence more mobile forwards.
Please do tell how Internationals are more prestigious and worthwhile than State of Origin

ABUSE COMPO BOOST; Cardinal pledges more after survivors address bishops.SARAH Sarah or Sarai: see Sara.
(flourished early 2nd millennium BC) In the Hebrew scriptures, the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. She was childless until age 90. STACK
TOP clergy are to consider increasing compensation for survivors of abuse in Church-run institutions, it emerged yesterday.
Cardinal Sean Brady revealed a committee would look at offering further redress to victims who suffered under nuns and priests in industrial schools and orphanages.
The head of the Church in Ireland spoke out after four campaigners addressed the Bishops' Conference in Maynooth about the Ryan Report which revealed widespread physical and sexual abuse.
Cardinal Brady said the meeting with survivors was a first step.
He added: "There will be other steps. I think something very important has taken place.
"We will be setting up a committee as they asked to take forward this discussion."
Asked if he regretted not having the meeting sooner, Cardinal Brady replied: "Yes I do of course, but I thank God that it has happened."
Former Fianna Fail mayor Michael O'Brien Michael or Mike O'Brien may refer to:
- Michael O'Brien (Australian rules footballer) (born 1980), West Coast Eagles
- Michael O'Brien (swimmer)
- Michael O'Brien (photographer)
He added: "This was a chance for us to meet all the bishops at one time to tell them what we want. We need closure and unless we get closure this will go on forever."
The four men asked to see the bishops after the clergy announced in June they wanted to listen to victims.
Mr John Kelly John Kelly or Jack Kelly is the name of: People
- John Kelly of Killanne (died 1798), leader of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 in Wexford
- John Kelly (U.S. politician) (1822–1886), politician in Tammany Hall, U.S.
He added: "Since the Ryan Report we have seen senior members of the hierarchy demand that the congregations make additional contributions to the redress sums.
"We have also noted the thundering silence whenever the matter of a contribution from the hierarchy itself is raised.
"To date the Church has paid absolutely nothing towards the victims of sexual and other abuses in the Catholic-run institutions."
Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin Diarmuid Martin D.D. (pronunced deer-mid) (born 8 April 1945) is the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland. He was born in Dublin.
Early life and education described the meeting as the most significant he had ever attended in Maynooth.
He added: "It's been extraordinary. It's so sad that those things weren't heard and listened to before.
"I hope this is just the beginning and we set up dialogue between various groups who suffered through abuse by Church persons."
However, Christine Buckley, who first lifted the lid on institutional abuse 25 years ago, said she was appalled the women who started the campaign for justice were kept out of the loop.
The former resident of Goldenbridge Sisters of Mercy (R. C. Ch.) a religious order founded in Dublin in the year 1827. Communities of the same name have since been established in various American cities. The duties of those belonging to the order are, to attend lying-in hospitals, to superintend the education of girls, and protect convent convent: see monasticism. in Dublin was later granted a meeting with Archbishop Martin.
Ms Buckley, who works with The Aislinn Centre said: "We have been at this for almost 25 years to seek justice for fellow survivors. Money was never the issue with us."

Track your patients' progress and communicate with Stanford providers conveniently and securely.
To correlate [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([(18)F]FDG-PET) status after chemotherapy, but before radiation, with outcome in patients treated with the Stanford V regimen.We analyzed retrospectively 81 patients with Hodgkin's disease who had serial [(18)F]FDG-PET scans performed at baseline and again at the completion of Stanford V chemotherapy, before planned radiotherapy. Patients with favorable stage I/II (nonbulky mediastinal disease) and those with bulky mediastinal disease or stage III/IV were scanned after 8 and 12 weeks of chemotherapy, respectively. Radiotherapy fields were determined before starting chemotherapy based on baseline computed tomography scans.After chemotherapy, six of 81 patients had residual [(18)F]FDG-PET-positive sites, all in sites for which radiotherapy was planned. Four of the six patients with positive [(18)F]FDG-PET scans after chemotherapy experienced relapse compared with just three of 75 patients with negative [(18)F]FDG-PET scans. At a median follow-up of 4 years, the freedom from progression (FFP) was 96% in postchemotherapy [(18)F]FDG-PET-negative patients versus 33% in [(18)F]FDG-PET-positive patients (P < .0003). In a bivariate Cox model, [(18)F]FDG-PET positivity after chemotherapy remained a highly significant predictor of progression-free survival even after controlling for bulky disease and International Prognostic Score more than 2.These data indicate that PET status after chemotherapy is strongly predictive of FFP with the Stanford V regimen despite the use of consolidative radiotherapy. These results have implications for the design of clinical trials adapted to functional imaging.

ABC News on Campus reporter Brian McBride blogs: It's a charter bus fit for a rock star with an Arizona State University logo plastered on to the side.
The bus, filled with law students from the Sandra Day O'Conner College of Law at ASU, tours Arizona offering legal services. Last month they set up shop for a day in Prescott Valley. Located in central Arizona, 85 miles north of Phoenix, Prescott Valley is a town that is growing quickly but currently lacks legal services for many of its residents. (Images courtesy of Todd Story)
The student-run Consumer Advocacy Protection Program (CAPP) organized the Justice Bus, in which roughly 25 students helped low-income people through tax preparations, consumer protection and unemployment insurance seminars.
The crew set up shop in two locations, one at the local fire station and the other at one of Northern Arizona University's newer campuses, since ASU doesn't have a campus in Prescott Valley.
Mary Juetten is a third-year law student and the president of CAPP. Rather than having clients pay to visit her, or her team, for a consultation, she brings her skills to them by bringing tables and boxes of legal documents to the locations – free of charge. The idea for what's now been coined the Justice Bus surfaced around the same time as the housing market collapsed in 2008. Juetten felt inspired to help Arizona residents underwater in their mortgage payments – what some experts called ground zero of the foreclosure crisis. She also wanted to help prevent others from following suit.
"Our group was really pleased with the maiden voyage of the bus and we had a lot of fun," Juetten said. "Seeing the first person come to the CAPP presentation made our day."
Marcy Karin, faculty director for CAPP, saw the program as a way for her students to not only help others in need, but to excel within their own careers as well.
"The Justice Bus has empowered ASU law students to make a difference in their state," Karin said. "It showed them that they could diagnose a problem and think creatively to propose solutions."
James Kimes, 63, a retired Prescott Valley resident wanted help in getting a debt, in the thousands of dollars, paid to him. After consulting with the law students, he's still not sure he will get his money back, but was grateful to receive help for free. "I wasn't in financial distress, but sure wish I could get my money returned to me," Kimes said. "I very much appreciated the session and am grateful for the personal attention I received." In addition to offering free legal advice, a small group from the Justice Bus crew operated the Wills for Heroes program. Working with a large group of firefighters, students drafted wills for first responders in the public safety field in case tragedy occurs. The program generated so much interest within the firehouse that a waiting list was created to meet demand. The Justice Bus served more than 60 people from that first "tour" alone. Karin was pleased to see the positive attention from a project her students had initiated.
"The reaction has been very positive," Karin told ABCNews.com. "You could see it in the faces of people who came to the Bus event for information and advice. And you could hear it in the 'thank you's' the volunteers received throughout the day."
Because this is their first year doing the tour, money and volunteer services are limited. The bus won't hit the road again until the fall semester, but the law students are now holding information sessions in the Phoenix area.
The Justice Bus program is funded by donations from the Shoumakers, a local Phoenix family, the Law Student Division of the American Bar Association and other partners. The group can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 480-965-4450.
