You are invited to join us for the third in a series of workshops with Eric Law that push you to think beyond your church's current boundaries and open ways to create rich, sustainable missional ministries.
Saturday November 8, 2014 10:00-4:00 pm Eastern Time
& Sunday November 9, 2014 10:00 - 4:00 pm Eastern Time
Eric Law returns to Toronto in November to continue his exploration of "Holy Currencies. In March Eric Law introduced the concept of "Holy Currencies", and invited participants to consider how enhancing Relationships in our congregations can lead to powerful changes in our missional ministry. In May he introduced he introduced the curerncies of Gracious Leadership, Wellness and Truth.
In November he returns to explore two more "Currencies" in the Cycle of Blessings and help teams who have been engaged in the full 8-month program as well as others, pull together their learnings and practice and prepare a plan for their congregation or ministry setting. Individuals and smaller teams are welcome to attend this final session.
As in the previous workshops, the goal is to help us imagine and implement ministries that are both missional (reaching beyond our current members), and financially sustainable.
Who Should Attend
These events were originally designed for congregational teams, who are invited to work with a local facilitator on a series of "homework assignments" between meetings, so that they emerge from the full 8-month program with very tangible changes to their ministries.
But we know that not everyone can be a part of a congregational team, and so we're inviting individuals to attend the conferences, or to watch online, even if they aren't currently part of a team that's actively doing the homework. If you're interested in Eric's ideas, and wondering about the difference they might make to your congregational ministry, come join us for the main events!

Eric Law, an Episcopal priest, is the founder and executive director of the Kaleidoscope Institute, the mission of which is to create inclusive and sustainable churches and communities. For more than 20 years, he has provided transformative and comprehensive training and resources for churches and ministries in all the major church denominations in the United States and Canada.

Bobby Brown: Sentenced to Prison for Third DUI Arrestby Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
The third time was anything but the charm for Bobby Brown on Tuesday afternoon.
A judge sentenced this singer to 55 days in jail today following his latest DUI arrest.
The sentence stems from when police pulled Bobby Brown over in October and smelled alcohol on his breath after he had been driving all over the place.
He was charged with drunk driving and driving with a suspended license.
A few hours ago in court, the artist pleaded no contest and was sentenced to the aforementioned jail time, along with four years probation.
The former husband of Whitney Houston also must attend 3 AA meetings per week until turning himself in on Wednesday, March 20.
Brown was also arrested for DUI in early 2012 and 1996.
He's clearly an idiot.
55 days aint no jail time slap on the wrist! DUI is dangerous for all parties involved. They should've banked his dopefiend ass!
Wow! What an amazing person he is....
This guy is such a loser....but his fans love him...shows you what kind of world we live in....
He won't/isn't going to change. You can give that idea up. Alcoholism isn't something that changes. Once addicted your stuck. Jail time isn't going to do anything but keep him from killing someone else. It won't cure him. But that's what prison is for. Fortunately we can't be convicted of crimes we haven't done yet so we can't insist on a life sentence yet. Unfortunately the chances are that he will kill someone else eventually. If it were one time I'd say a slap on the wrist was sufficient but he has shown a propensity to continue this behavior which considering he should always have money enough for a taxi to get home and does this anyhow shows me he isn't going to quit driving while intoxicated. It's hopeless. His punishment certainly doesn't fit the crime and had it been any average person they'd be looking at up to FIVE years at this point. This truly sux and totally fuels my hatred if these Hollywood types.
Does he have to kill an innocent person before he gets more time in jail. These celebrities think they are above the law.
So Bobby brown gets sixtyfive days after 3 duis and Lindsay Lohan has had just as many and gets a slap on the wrist.
Scream racism!!!!!
The death of his ex-wife Whitney, his current marriage, and his estranged relationship with his daughter Kristina have not changed his behavior. Someone like him needs to stay in jail for some time. If he keeps acting the way he does, he may end up dead sooner than later.
At the rate he's going, I'm surprised he didn't die a long time ago! I come from a dysfunctional family fueled by substance abuse. That's why I stayed away from that kind of stuff myself. But I bet he's just self medicating to work through the pain of losing Whitney as well as his strained relationship with daughter Bobbi Kristina. I bet he's got a mugshot for every day in the calendar! Its just sad really.
I hope he learns his lesson but i know people that still gets off after 3 dui s . Maybe he will seek the help he needs. This just might save his life or someone else's.
Wow, why don't you tell us how you really feel! LOL
read my lips: DON'T DRINK & DRIVE!!
(how many times more?)
How disgusting. What an insult, I take this lack of punishment very personally, my brother was killed because of a loser who had a liquid lunch and then drove. These lowlife scumbags keep driving drunk because they get a slap on the wrist. Bobby Brown 55-day Jail Sentence for Third DUI, Arrested Photos here http://tiny.cc/Bobby-Brown-Jail

Eighteen kittens, who were left to die on Pugh Mountain, have started to find homes thanks to adoptions through the Smyth County Animal Shelter and Appalachian Animal Refuge.
An AAR volunteer told News 5 that yesterday they were able to re-home nine of the kittens. She said two women drove all the way from Knoxville, Tennessee to adopt two kittens.
Appalachian Animal Refuge offers adoptions on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 1-4 p.m.
If you would like to adopt an animal, and cannot make it during these hours, call the Smyth County Animal Shelter or get in touch with AAR on Facebook and arrangements can be made.

Today Jennifer Lawrence turns 24. You might have noticed that the Academy Award winning actress is our number one girl crush - she's the face of Dior, she doesn't get tizzy about a red carpet fail and she has the most gif-able face, EVER. She gives the best acceptance speeches and knows how to win over an interviewer every time, so what better way to celebrate her birthday than by reading the best Jennifer-isms? Oh Jen please be our bestie.
1. 'I wish this was like Mean Girls and I could just break this up and throw it at all of you!'
2. 'I can see the McDonalds right there. Wait, hold on, I didn't say fries! I'm seeing you talk and all I'm seeing is me being pissed I didn't get fries. And you have to remind them about ketchup because they never include ketchup, you have to ask for it. Cheapskates' - at the Oscars.
3. 'I'd like to direct at some point. But I don't know because 10 years ago I would have never imagined that I'd be here. So in 10 years from now, I might be running a rodeo.'
4. 'This isn't like an auction, right? You guys aren't going to take it away?' - backstage at the Oscars.
5. 'Sorry I just took a shot' - at the Oscars press conference.
6. 'I hate saying, 'I like exercising' — I want to punch people who say that.'
7. 'I'm sorry that I hit your family. I thought I saw Honey Boo Boo' – how she explained her car accident on Jay Leno.
8. 'Candy, almonds, my phone, a Baby Ruth, Laffy Taffy' - what she carried in her Oscars bag.
9. Sorry! That was phlegm. That was so powerful. I'm like a dragon!' - coughing on Letterman.
10. 'When I'm out, I think about my couch. Like, 'It would be awesome to be on it right now. I bet there's an episode of Dance Moms on. Am I missing a new episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians?... reality TV is my silver lining.'
11. "I really would not call myself a fashion icon. I would call myself somebody who gets dressed by professionals. [It's like], 'Dance, monkey, dance' right on the red carpet.' I would call me more of a monkey."
12. Anybody who makes fun of me [for falling], I'm just gonna go, 'Yeah, and then I got touched by Hugh Jackman.'
13. 'I just went to the doctor today, I got a chest X-ray of my lungs and discovered that my breasts are uneven.' - on Jimmy Kimmel
14. 'I grew up in Kentucky, but I did not grow up like that. I had heat, and I didn't have to shoot my dinner or anything.'
15. 'Not to sound rude, but [acting] is stupid.'
16. 'Your ass is mine, stone!'
17. 'Oh, what does it say? I beat Meryl!' - her Golden Globes acceptance speech.
18. 'I don't have anything to do all day, I might not even put my pants on.'
19. 'Backstage, I just peed like every 3 seconds. I think your staff thinks I have diarrhea.' - on Chelsea Lately.
20. 'Yeah, it changed my personality and my value system, absolutely. Why wouldn't it?' - when asked if winning the Oscar has changed her.
21. 'I just woke up and tried on the dress and it fit, thank God, and ummm...I took a shower...and then I got my hair and makeup done. And then I came to the Oscars!' - when asked about getting ready for the Academy Awards.
22. 'That doesn't look like me at all! I love Photoshop more than anything in the world' - on her Dior campaign.
23. 'We planned out this whole thing, where we were going to spin around and over to her and go, 'Please dance with us!' But at the last minute, Jimmy pooped out, and all of a sudden I spun around by myself and said, 'Dance with . . . me?' And she was like, 'Thanks, I'm just gonna watch.' - when she met J.Lo at a party with Jimmy Fallon.
24. "You can only s--t your pants so many times a day before you go to the emergency room."

We watched her grow and grow, and fell more in love with her every day. Sadly, she got an infection that very suddenly took her from us when she was just two months old. During this time we lived at the Ronald McDonald House, as the hospital was two hours from our home. They loved us and supported us, and always took very good care of us. They became like family to us. This year, with our new son William, we took part in the Walk for Kids to help raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. We wanted team t-shirts with Lucy's tiny feet. Ordering from CustomInk was incredibly easy, and the customer service has been amazing.

Nomad(ATC) over Bear(ISC)
ISC missed with 3 pulses of R15 PPD on T4 and then on T7 brokedown on his HET #2 to prevent 8 p1 through down shield at R4.
ATC shields were mostly in the 10-12 range. ISC had one down shield, 2 shields at 6, one at 10 and the ohers OK.
Overall a nice, fast, fun game.

Here is my best memory of how the battle went down Thursday night between Romwe ( Andy Playtest ) vs Baldnforty ( Zin ).
Andy started at top and zin started at bottom.
Turn 1:
I plotted speeds 16i/26i with a HET plotted in EA and Brian went speed 21/28. I had a couple of disruptors overloaded during EA, the rest were standards. Brian started off by turning left and eventually crossed my centerline. After he was a couple of hexes past my centerline, he turned right. I slowly started to dribble out a mixture of 20 and 32 speed type I drones. Eventually, I turned right and Brian instantly turned left setting up for a range 3 firing pass.
During the firing pass, Brian did 37 points of damage to my #6 shield for 6 internals and I did about the same to his front panels. He than displaced away. I should have used my HET at this point, but instead slowly turned around ending the turn at range 11.
Turn 2: I skipped powering disruptors and just recharged batteries and phaser caps and poured on the antimatter to catch the andromedan.
Turn 3: I launched the SP at range 8, which Brian ignored, I also continued with standard disruptors. Late in the turn Brian performed a HET and got another range 3 firing pass on the #6 shield. He followed that volley displacing away. I had substandard disruptor and phaser rolls and didn't even bring his front panels to reinforced levels... In return Brian did another 35 or so internals to me which dropped my power significantly. Most importantly, he took out 7 warp. I was able to HET and follow him at about range 5 or 6.
Turn 4: I didn't realize it, but at this point Brian was almost out of battery power, so he skipped charging his TR beams. I skipped powering disruptors, and just put one point into phaser caps and the rest into movement trying to catch him. Near the end of the turn, I got a range 1 shot on his rear panels and took it, although I was 1 point of power short for the number of phasers I had. We ended the turn at range 1 with Brian off my #2 shield, however, most of my phasers had not cycled from the previous turn.
Turn 5: I plotted 2 tacs and an accel late in the turn throwing my remaining power into overloading my 3 remaining disruptors and completely refilling my phaser caps. Impulse 1 I launched 4 drones, and fired everything I could at Brian. 2 of the 3 disruptors missed at range 1!!! All I managed to do was to score a 3rd leak point, sigh... Brian displaced away which at this point was a good idea with about 8 to 10 drones in the air pursuing him. At this point I conceded because of the following.
a) Other than the 3 leak points he had taken no internal damage.
b) I had taken significant internals and was down 7 warp and 2 impulse.
c) I was almost out of drones.
d) I was at speed 0 and he was running. By the time I got back up to speed, he would have plenty of time to clear his panels and recharge his batteries. I didn't know at the time, but his TR beams were not charged. He had about 10 points of deg damage on the front panels and maybe 5 or 6 deg on the rears.
Analysis: Brian's batteries were almost dead at the end of turn 3 in spite of the extra 2 APR, however, he never performed a panel dump to recharge his batteries. He claimed that there wasn't enough power in the panels to do a proper panel dump, but in reality, he could have dropped the fronts in preparation for a dump and then on Turn 3 when he did his HET, he could have dropped the rears sending the power to his batteries and then raised the fronts before I could hit him.
Brian succeeded on both displace attempts which certainly helped. I'm sure the extra 2 APR helped him out a lot, because my experience with the standard Andy is that the power situation is usually desperate by turn 3.
As a side note, Paul and Mike West and were discussing possible solutions to the big plasma races Andy issues late last night on Talk Shoe... I came up with the idea, and Steve, please shoot me down if you disagree, that maybe all Big plasma ships should be allowed to fire Sabot rounds out of their tubes but at one size level lower than the tube size.
Example, a Plasma R launcher could launch an S Sabot or and S Enveloping Sabot.
A Plasma S launcher could fire a G Sabot or a G Enveloping Sabot.
A Plasma G launcher could fire a F Sabot, their is no F Enveloper.
Once, a torp is completed as a sabot round, it CANNOT be upgraded to a full strength torp for the tube.
Originally, I was saying that this should only be available for use by big plasma versus andy, but Paul mentioned that you really don't like race specific rules for ships. I'm not sure if the Sabot option would alter big plasma that much, because the torps would be 1 size class lower. Certainly, if you launch a Sabot round, your opponent knows it instantly is real and will do less damage. If faced with a Sabot round a lot of people might just run through the weaker torp and take the damage.
If this is unacceptable then as an alternative drop the torp 2 size levels for a sabot. Now the ISC would be incapable of firing a sabot and only the TKE could do a Sabot enveloper G... Against a high speed opponent who is running away fast, or an Andy, this makes the sabot option a slightly better option than a bolt.

DaveC (HYD, Team SWA) over Bakija (GRN, Team Watchmans)
Dave and I have played this match up, like, 700 times online and in real life by now. I'm ahead, lifetime, but the last two online games, he hosed me :-)
T1: I plot 26/16 with an enveloper. He goes, I think 26/30 (maybe off battery). We fly up the middle of the map, me slipping in occasionally. At R12, I launch my enveloper. He launches his 2 fighters. I slip away, and he slips in, and eventually he gets R7 without getting too close to the plasma. He fires a few P1s, a DF HB, and a std HB. He rolls ok, and leaves my #6 at about 12 boxes. He then turns off, speeds up to 30, and starts running from the plasma. I'm thinking "Huh? Great position--Hydran is running from plasma into corner, his fighters are separated from the ship, and I didn't even lose a sheild completely. Score!", so I turn in to pursue. I get R8 from his fighters and fire 4xP1 at one of them. I roll horrible, and only do 4 damage. Sad. I am compelled to keep moving towards his fighters for a while. He slips them out, so my other wing phasers are out of arc, unless I slip towards them, which will give them R3 from my #1, which I'm not thrilled about. So I end up turning north, giving the fighters my damaged #6 at R4, and shoot at them more. I give the undamaged fighter 2xP1 and the damaged one 1xP1. I cripple the undamaged fighter by rolling average, but roll another 6 on the damaged one. So *still* it is uncrippled. He returned fire with most of the fighters weapons, dropping my shield to 1 box after a battery. I get to R2 on the fighters who have fired everything by now, fire a P3 at the uncrippled, damaged fighter, and again roll a 6 (so that is 6 phasers at the fighter, and 4 of the rolles were 6...), but the 1 point of damage cripples it. Finally. I dispach one of the fighters by impulse 32 with one of my rear phasers. We end the turn at about R15, Hydran running into the SW corner with an enveloper behind it, and me facing north (?!?!?).
T2: Well, I used, like, 8 phaser capacitors to deal with his fighters and a battery to keep my shield up, so I'm behind a bunch of power, and I need to press the attack, from a bad position, to get to him before the HBs come back online. I plot 16/26 and rearm everything, figuring I can do a U turn and get pretty close by the end of the turn. He goes 27/26/20. Impulse 1, I dispach his last fighter aith a P3, and start turning around. He runs into the corner from the enveloper. By mid turn, the enveloper is gone and he slows to 20 to come out of the corner. I speed up to 26 just in time to miss my turn mode (as I can't count to 8 anymore, apparently :-), and lose another hex on him. He turns up to me as I close in, so I launch an S torp out of the A launcher before it goes out of arc. Impulse 31, He turns up and centerlines my #6 at R2 (not great...), with my plasma at R1. I use a couple batteries to tractor him, figuring he'll break it, and mostly, I just want him to use a battery so he probably can't HET. He likely realizes this and doesn't fight the tractor. He shoots me with 4xP1 and both gats, I give him 5xP1. I roll not great, leaving his #1 at about 9 boxes. He rolls pretty well, doing 17 internals, hitting an F torp and a P3. Impulse 32, he HETs B and I turn in, so we both move, ending the turn at R2, my #1 to his #6.
At this point, we start reading the tractor rules, and discover that at no point in the rule section on tractors, does it specifically say "if your tractor is broken due to an EA auction, it is an involuntary release". Which is important to say, as if your tractor is voluntarily released, you have to wait 8 impulses before tractoring them again. If it is an involuntary release, you can tractor them immediately. But the rules are (unsurprisingly) vague on this very specific instance. So we pause for about 10-15 minutes reading the rulebook. Eventually Ken Lin settles it for us (if you lose the auction, it is apparently an "involuntary" release), and we move on.
T3: Well, I start the auction, and Dave doesn't fight it. So I plot 0, pay for some TACs, refill my batteries, and put a whole lot of power in tractors for reasons that mostly escape me now, as he just HET and can't launch a weasel for 4 impulses anyway (which we already established). He goes 0, OLs his HB, and rearms stuff. I rotate him to R1 centerline, and launch 90 points of plasma. He fires an OL HB, doing about 18 in (through a down and a 1 box shield), hitting my other F torp and some phasers. Impulse 2, 90 plasma hits him, doing 54 internals after some reinforcement. He fires his other OL HB and I fire a few phasers in his ship. His second HB volley does 20 internals and hits *both* of my S torp tubes. After the smoke clears, I have 55 internals, but nothing except 3xP1 as weapons. He has about 70 internals, but still has a HB, both Gats, and 3 fusion beams. As I didn't plot any movement, we are going to end the turn at R1. He shoots a couple of my shuttles down (that got launched before the carnage) with his gat, and then I surrender, as on impulse 2 of T4, he gets to TAC his #1 to me and savage me with 2x Gat and 3xFusions, where all I have to shoot him back with are 3xP1. Brutal.
I could have played that last turn *much* better (i.e. put some energy in reinforcement or movement instead of 21 in tractor that I didn't even really need to keep up), but ya know, these things happen :-)

September 2, 2010
On Thursday, Gov. Bob McDonnell led law enforcement officers from across the Commonwealth in kicking off the 2010 Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign at the Virginia State Police Academy.
During the event he called attention to significant progress achieved over the past decade but noted that additional work must be done, particularly with regard to protecting the very individuals who keep Virginia highways safe.
Just since July 1, three Virginia State Police troopers have been struck by drunk drivers.
In 2009, fewer individuals (316) were killed on Virginia highways due to alcohol than in any year since 1997. Last year also saw fewer injuries (6,256) on Virginia roads than in any year since at least 1984.
McDonnell and public safety officials credited this progress to the combination of effective public education and targeted enforcement.
"I got my start in public service in the Commonwealth as a prosecutor and was honored to serve as Attorney General. Public safety is a top priority for me and law enforcement across Virginia, and this includes cracking down on drunk driving," says McDonnell. "We've made enormous progress in protecting Virginians from the dangers of drunk driving. However, we still have much work to do. Virginia's law enforcement and motorists still must continue to work together towards making our roads even safer."
As part of the Checkpoint Strikeforce program, Virginia's law enforcement community is out in force, looking for drunk drivers. In 2009, 36,718 individuals were arrested for DUI across the state, resulting in 31,434 DUI convictions, an average of one conviction every 17 minutes.
To assist with the 2010 Checkpoint Strikeforce kickoff, Virginia law enforcement agencies are joining with neighboring states Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia in a border-to-border effort over the Labor Day holiday. A total of 14 traffic fatalities occurred statewide during the four-day holiday last year, nearly twice the amount from the previous year.
The region-wide Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign combines stepped-up law enforcement efforts and proactive public education to promote a multi-jurisdictional effort in the fight against drunk driving. A significant multi-media campaign, encompassing radio and television, will run nearly 34,500 ads on a total of 96 broadcast stations, cable systems and radio stations in Virginia between August and December.
Additionally, targeted Internet advertising is expected to garner approximately five million impressions over the course of the campaign.
In addition to the Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign, the Virginia State Police will engage in the annual Operation C.A.R.E. traffic enforcement campaign. The Operation Combined Accident Reduction Effort is a state-sponsored, national program designed to reduce crashes, fatalities and injuries caused by speeding, impaired driving and failure to use occupant restraints.
As a participating agency, Virginia State Police will increase visibility and traffic enforcement efforts throughout the Commonwealth beginning Friday morning at 12:01 a.m. and continuing through midnight Monday.
MWR Strategies, a Richmond-based research firm that has conducted Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign surveys since 2002, conducted a public opinion survey of 800 drivers in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia in June 2010 for Checkpoint Strikeforce.
Among the campaign's targeted audience of males aged 21 to 35, key findings include:
- The biggest fear amongst this group of local male drivers as a result of driving while intoxicated is killing or injuring someone else (64 percent), more than arrest (13 percent) or their own death (16 percent).
- Nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of these local drivers perceive drunk driving as one of the most serious dangers faced on area roadways.
- The same number of people (73 percent) in this group think that being caught by police should be drunk drivers' number one fear.
- Nearly one-out-of-four (24 percent) of these local drivers said that they would (or have) changed their behavior knowing that sobriety checkpoints were being held in their area.
The Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign is supported by a grant from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles' Highway Safety Office to the nonprofit and Virginia-based Washington Regional Alcohol Program.

World Trade Center Hub rendering by Santiagao Calatrava.
"The World Trade Center site is a modern, world-class development featuring state-of-the-art technology," said Port Authority Executive Director Pat Foye. "The new cellular and Wi-Fi networks at the Transportation Hub, retail and other locations will enhance the visitor experience, and ensure that our commuters and patrons can enjoy free, world-class connectivity on-the-go."
In May, the board authorized the installation of Wi-Fi at various locations at the World Trade Center. The multi-year agreement will include complimentary Wi-Fi in the retail areas of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, as well as the PATH Station.
When completed, the World Trade Center Transportation Hub will be the third largest transportation center in New York City, with more than 200,000 daily commuters and millions of annual visitors from around the world.
The WTC Transportation Hub's concourse will conveniently connect visitors to 11 different subway lines; the Port Authority Trans-Hudson rail system; Battery Park City Ferry Terminal; the World Trade Center Memorial Site; WTC Towers 1, 2, 3 and 4; the World Financial Center and the Winter Garden. It will represent the most integrated network of underground pedestrian connections in New York City.

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for all of the News 5 viewing area from noon until midnight. This includes El Paso, Pueblo, Fremont, Teller, Otero, Las Animas, Custer, Huerfano, Crowley, Bent, and Prowers counties.
The rain overnight may have actually helped to stabilize the atmosphere, so it may be that after the morning showers end over the Plains today's stormy weather will be limited in coverage to areas in and near the mountains. Otherwise expect plenty of cloud cover to help hold down the temperatures. Highs will be in the 70's for most areas with lower 80's in the warm spots and 60's in high elevations with only a slight peek of sun through the clouds early this afternoon. We will have to monitor closely the threat of flash flooding as heavy rain looks to be favored in areas where flash flooding is a higher risk.
Tomorrow looks to have more widespread rain and thunderstorms, and once again we will have to closely monitor the flash flood risk. Wednesday will be another gloomy day with more cloud cover and rain, though the coverage likely will be less than that of Tuesday. By Thursday and Friday we will see more scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms with some sunshine in the mornings. Temperatures will remain unseasonably cool through Saturday with warming on Sunday as sun breaks out a little more forcefully.

Tour Bolt-ons - Inside a Soviet Bunker
|Head 65 meters underground to the Underground Cold War Museum - a Stalinist-era Soviet Bunker that up until recently was a top secret symbol of Soviet Power.

Wonders of the World
St Basil's CathedralOne of Russia's most iconic images is undoubtedly St Basil's Cathedral, with its riotously colourful tent roofs and twisting onion shaped domes, each with their own distinctive pattern and colour scheme. Located on Red Square in Moscow, opposite the Kremlin, St Basil's Cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in 1552 to mark the 1552 capture of Kazan from Mongol forces. It was designed by architect Postnik Yakovlev and completed in 1561. According to legend, Ivan was so 'blown away' at the beauty and intricacy of Postnik's work; he had him blinded so that he would never be able to design anything as fantastical again!
Below is a list of key highlights and what is included on this tour. Further, where appropriate, we have listed the items that are not included in the tour price.

Jul 29, 2012Whoever says Stallone cant act is full of it.Hes proven time and again and in this one he hangs with the big dogs like Deniro and Harvey Kietel.A Amazing Movie!
Sep 16, 2013A brilliant cast and an sharp, literate script make this one of the more overlooked films of the 90's. Stallone's morose and overweight small-town sheriff is a clever and well executed casting choice and he serves the film well by doing much with his body language and letting the other actors do the more fiery displays of cop-on-the-edge theatrics. Ray Liotta gets a part worthy of his brand of intensity and the mash up of High Noon meets Goodfellas is very effective. Too many story arcs spoil the cleanliness of the narrative for many but repeated viewings (of the directors cut preferably which has a valuable 12 extra minutes) show that most of it works itself out. The finale is exceptional in how it allows Stallone to be heroic but in a tired, bloody and almost defeated fashion. Being the hero probably isn't that fun sometimes and he realizes that.… Expand
Everywhere the camera turns in this tense and volatile drama, it finds enough interest for a truckload of conventional Hollywood fare. Whatever its limitations, Cop Land has talent to burn.
While this is probably the actor's best turn since Rocky, and he does a credible job that may earn him the opportunity to do more "serious" work in the future, Stallone's performance is outshone on all sides. That's not a knock against him; it's an acknowledgment that the supporting cast is about the best that it can be.
Branching out in a bold new direction, Stallone is quietly devastating. James Mangold has directed Cop Land from his own ardent, audacious script, and despite some draggy, overdeliberate moments, it's the strongest piece of material to come Stallone's way since he invented himself as Rocky 21 years ago.

MANSFIELD — A Terrance Hubby tip-in of a Corinthian Ramsey drive to the basket with 15 seconds left gave Mansfield Summit only its third lead of the game, but the Jaguars were able to hang on for a 49-47 victory over Mansfield Lake Ridge in a District 15-4A game Tuesday night at Lake Ridge.The win, Summit's second over Lake Ridge this season, put the Jaguars (16-9, 7-3 District 15-4A) in the driver's seat for the second playoff seed out of the district. Lake Ridge (17-7, 6-4) fell a game behind in the race."This is big for us because Lake Ridge is a very good basketball team, and to beat them twice in a season is quite an accomplishment," Summit coach Jason Mutterer said afterward. "It's big because it gives us the tiebreaker over them and puts us in a good position."The game might have been different had either team taken advantage at the free-throw line.Through the first three quarters, the Jaguars and Eagles had made just 8 of 22 combined free throws. Things didn't improve for Lake Ridge in the fourth quarter, as the Eagles went 4 of 9 when the game got tight.After leading scorer Jacob Van missed his third free throw of the final period, he fouled out on a charging call, canceling a basket that would've given Lake Ridge a four-point edge.Instead, Hubby tied the score with a dunk at the other end and got the game-winner moments later. His 16 points led Summit.Before fouling out, Van scored 18 points for Lake Ridge, hitting five 3-pointers as the Eagles built six-point leads in both the first and fourth quarters.

'There was just them three, and me': Jeff Lynne on the Beatles reunion's tense initial moments
The surviving Beatles reconvened in the 1990s to complete two John Lennon cuts.
The surviving Beatles reconvened in the 1990s to complete two John Lennon cuts.
Orbison, for the briefest of moments, was born anew.
Jeff Lynne discusses the prospect of a new tour, and ruminates both on reforming the Traveling Wilburys and reuniting with other original members of the Electric Light Orchestra in advance of a hometown honor tonight in Birmingham.
The anniversary celebrations abound everywhere: 50 years ago, the Beatles first reached American shores, debuted on Ed Sullivan, and officially kicked off the Beatlemania era.
The Band is revealed in all of its muscular, almost (but never completely) out-of-control on-stage glory — bolstered, in a meeting of musical worlds, by these stabbing horn charts from Allen Toussaint.
Jeff Lynne's first new music in ages isn't another ode to Beatle-y goodness, or another orchestral maneuver with ELO. Instead, it's a soundtrack instrumental for American Hustle. Listen in here!
ELO's Jeff Lynne has had plenty of time to take stock recently, even as he's hinted at the completion of some of his first new solo music since his often-overlooked debut Armchair Theatre.
For Jeff Lynne, meeting George Harrison led to a series of rock 'n' roll dream jobs, as he produced Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, the Beatles, Paul McCartney and the Traveling Wilburys, an all-star amalgam featuring Bob Dylan.
You would think that a supergroup featuring Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty would rack up massive hit singles.
Our series on live Paul McCartney concludes with a perfect example of how live recordings often improve upon studio versions. Some artists use concerts as an occasion to play deep album tracks that may have been unfairly overlooked

Smith pitched all of 5 1/3 innings for Triple-A El Paso before the injury. He is in the running for a roster spot this spring after recording 11.4 strikeouts per nine innings in 10 appearances, including seven starts, for the big club last season. Of course, he also had a 6.44 ERA and 1.65 WHIP.
Smith allowed eight runs over his final 11 2/3 innings pitched. He finished his 2013 campaign 1-3 with a 6.44 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP in 36 1/3 innings.
Smith's overall numbers look pretty mediocre thanks to three ugly appearances in May, but he's given up just three earned runs in 17 1/3 innings since while striking out 21 and walking seven. He's 1-1 with a 6.57 ERA and 1.66 WHIP going into Saturday's potential start against the Dodgers.
He is 0-1 with an 11.37 ERA, 15 strikeouts, seven walks and five home runs allowed in six games (three starts).
Smith gave up 15 runs in the course of 7 1/3 innings in three starts earlier this season with the Padres, but has a 2.70 ERA at Tucson.
Smith had an 18.41 ERA in three starts, after failing to get out of the second inning for the second time Wednesday against the Cardinals.
He surrendered three runs in the first inning on three hits and three walks, then gave up singles to the first two hitters in the second before being pulled. One of those runners would score, leaving Smith with four earned runs on five hits and three walks in one inning.
This is the second time in three starts Smith has been unable to get out of the second inning. He threw 42 pitches as his ERA rose to 18.41. Smith took the loss in the 5-3 defeat.
Smith is not assured another turn in the rotation with how poorly he has pitched, although he is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Mariners.
"He was disappointed in his outing," Black said Sunday. "He will be back up on the horse later this week. But he's not going to back off his game."
The 23-year-old was charged with six runs and five hits in one inning but he managed to settle for a no-decision. He struck out two and walked two on 42 pitches, 26 of them for strikes.Smith is scheduled to start Friday at home against the Nationals.
Few had. In fact, at the time of the announcement, he wasn't even available in the CBSSports.com database. But he is now, and I have to say I'm intrigued. Though Baseball America rated him only the 22nd-best prospect in the Padres organization, it noted his high-90s fastball and suggested he could be an intriguing option if he developed a useful breaking pitch. Judging by his numbers at Double-A San Antonio, maybe he has.
No one had heard of Dan Straily before he became the minor-league strikeout champ last year. Few had heard of Tony Cingrani before he stormed up the ladder last year, and look at him now. I'm not expecting much from Smith in Fantsay, but I'm happy taking a stranger-things-have-happened approach to him in deeper leagues.

A weak system will bring clouds, cooler afternoon highs and a chance of showers to the Northstate today.
The clouds will be on the increase on today as the next storm approaches. The best chance for any measurable rain will be closer to the evening hours but at this point we are only expecting a few hundredths of an inch of rain. There may be just enough instability for a stray thunderstorm but without any breaks in the clouds it may be difficult for any storm development. It will also be on the breezy side with south winds at 10-15 mph and gusts over 20 mph.
We'll see a few lingering showers into Friday but the valley floor should begin to clear out.
An "inside slider" will clip the Northstate Saturday evening into Saturday night. As usual, expect the north winds picking up as high pressure spills back into the Northstate Sunday.
The ridge of high pressure will begin to amplify heading into next week. The higher resolution Euro and GEFS model both push highs to near 100 degrees for the valley floor by Tuesday and Wednesday. I think this may a bit on the warm side and currently I am leaning closer to the mid to upper 90s.

A physical bag that a hoe will carry with them most of the time. The bag usually contains extra clothing, lube, condoms, tampons, pregnancy test...and other such items that allow her to sleep from place to place with guy to guy. Be aware that one might call this an "emergency bag", that would be bull shit.
Tonya carried a hoe bag the whole time I knew her. Fuckin hoe.

South Bend, Ind. Melanie Scott's life was changed overnight when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
And now, Scott and others are getting the message out.
R&B artist Micki Miller partnered with Scott through her music and released her first EP "Love Letters" to spread awareness.
Dozens of people gathered Sunday evening at "The Brick" off Northside Boulevard for the cause.
Representatives encouraged those in attendance to swab the inside of their cheeks to identify possible bone marrow matches for those in need.
"And once they come through the door, we ask them if they're in between the ages of 18 and 41," explained event organizer Karrah Miller. "We say 'are you willing to find out if you can swab to see if you're a match for somebody in case they can get a bone marrow transplant?'"
