I have seen this "player mat", it looks very nice but the design is not very practical as far as I can see with the card placement slots etc.
To be honest Peter, I am not sure I would buy from those people, no matter how nice the product looks.
They have taken a design for perspex card holders from another Polish user and copied it with no reference or recompense to him…
The original card holders (and a link to the original designer) are here -

I've been photographing as a Professional Freelance Photographer for a number of years with great satisfaction resulting from the photos I have captured. In 2006 I started archiving my photography, this was when I purchased my first Digital SLR moving and transitioning into the digital era and away from film. My first digital camera was a consumer model, the Canon 350D. It was not long before I upgraded, purchasing from the 1D series of Canon professional camera bodies. I now own several professional SLR cameras and only shoot Digital!
Even as a professional photographer and with perfection my end goal the two things I love most with photography is you never stop learning which means it never gets boring.

We have decided to install a pool and spa and are interviewing pool contractors. I have been researching and reading the various posts, lots of good information. Wondering if anyone has had a pool/spa installed recently in San Diego and has any pool builder recommendations?
Also I have lots of questions, any info from folks that have installed pools would be greatly appreciated! Varrious pebble surfaces pebbletec, vs wet edge vs stonescapes? Heater 333,000 BTU or upgrade to 400,000? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not recent, but Mission Pools in Escondido did ours 20 years ago and it's still in perfect shape. It's the only home project we ever did that went off without a hitch and this was a big project. I think they've been in business since the 1960's and hopefully their quality remains. |
We live in San Diego and our pool installation should be done by the end of this month (I hope so). Did you already start your pool installation? Do you still have questions? |
- Posted by runswithweim (My Page) on Fri, Oct 12, 12 at 23:21
Kjsalga do you mind telling me what pool contractor you went with and are you happy with them? We are almost ready to sign the contract and I am nervous! We are planning ~16x35 feet with a raised spa(coated in quartzite), quartzite coping, baja entry (covered with quartzite), tan colored concrete decking, Raised far end with sheer descent (water feature) and raised bond beam between one side of pool and fence so I can plant behind it. I think I have decided to go with the white plaster with the quartzite on the Baja deck (I can still upgrade to pebble if I change my mind). -shotcrete pool Anything else I should consider? |

The release is mainly intended for commercial customers.
In particular it fixes problems with using the installed source code for purchased version
of the Suite. Previously the design time experience when using the compiled source code
would fail. This has been resolved by having the source code compilation use a strong key
and then automatically installing the newly built assemblies into the GAC. So now your
projects can always use the GAC assemblies for your projects and the design time
experience will be as expected.
Please download using the following direct link…
Download 4.1.6
Major Change
– Installed source code now compiles with strong key
– Installed source code build places assemblies into GAC
Bug fixes
– KryptonRibbon generated code was causing compile errors
– KryptonWorkspace load config was not adding created pages
– KryptonMonthCalendar weeks numbers were incorrect

Sgt. Mark Miller said he initiated a traffic stop on Fransisco Road late last week and the driver of the vehicle reportedly slowed, allowing the passenger to exit the vehicle.
According to his report, Jason D. Lawson, 28, of Birchwood, jumped from the vehicle and fled into a nearby field.
Miller gave chase on foot.
Lawson reportedly shouted to Miller that he had active warrants, according to deputy David Michaels of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office.
According to Michaels' report, after taking Lawson into custody, deputies found hypodermic needles and a glass pipe with "suspected drug residue" inside.
Lawson was arrested on 13 outstanding warrants that had been filed in Hamilton County, according to Michaels' report.
Other charges could be pending.
Two other people were arrested after a traffic stop on Lower River Road.
According to a report filed by Michaels, he was conducting speed reduction in the area when he confirmed through radar a driver was speeding.
Amanda Lee Carroll Freeman, 37, was identified as the driver.
Corporal Heath Arthur arrived on the scene and gained consent to search the vehicle and Freeman's belongings.
Terena M. Mathews, 44, was a passenger in the vehicle as well, according to the report.
After searching the vehicle, Arthur located a plastic bag containing suspected meth, digital scales, additional plastic bags described as "resale bags," and two glass pipes that is "used for the consumption of meth."
Both occupants denied knowledge of the items, according to the report.
Freeman and Mathews were taken into custody and transported to the Bradley County Jail where they were booked on possession of Schedule II for resale, and possession of felony drug paraphernalia. Freeman was also charged with speeding, according to Michaels.
n A portable safe was taken during an Old Alabama Road burglary during the weekend.
A coin collection was reportedly stored inside the safe, according to a report filed by corporal David Harper of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office.
Jimmy Crisp said someone entered through a rear door at his home and took the safe along with approximately $900 in coins.
Medications were also taken during the burglary.
Crisp was able to provide possible suspect information to Harper.
Investigation is continuing.
n Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting Safety Belt Checkpoints in Bradley County beginning next week.
The checkpoints will be set up in random location in the county.
According to THP officials, checkpoints are an effective means of recognizing the dangers presented to the driving public, by motorists who would violate the laws of the state.
All scheduled checkpoints are contingent upon weather conditions and manpower availability.

For Ivanovic, it's a plus that McDonald's is so demanding. When he first came to the U.S. in the late 1980s, he didn't know much about the restaurant, and when he started dating his future wife, Alexandra, who was a field consultant for McDonald's, he was still largely clueless. But as he learned about her work and met McDonald's employees, he was impressed.
"You start to see why McDonald's is one of the leading worldwide corporations," Ivanovic says. "You go into one restaurant and don't see the connections or understand the mechanism behind it, but then you slowly recognize why McDonald's is so big and powerful. They employ 1.6 million people. Engineers have a tendency to think logically, and logically, you have to know there is something big behind this, that you can make the same quality of hamburger in America or in Asia."
Ivanovic had wanted to own his own business for several years. He looked into real estate or possibly opening a business in Europe, but kept coming back to his wife's place of employment. "I tend to think where you should be is where the really successful people are. If I wanted to open a food store on the corner, I wouldn't have all this support, and I know a lot of businesses fail in the first three years."
Ivanovic is certainly right that he'll have a lot of support. Vest says franchise owners needn't stop learning on the job--they can attend the McDonald's worldwide convention, held every other year, as well as local and regional training seminars and workshops. Meanwhile, every seven years, owners are invited to attend a restaurant operations leadership practice course--a weeklong visit to Hamburger University--to catch up on new technologies and evolving practices.
That's what Susan Singleton, 44, did five years ago. Along with her husband, Chris, 54, she owns four McDonald's locations in the Illinois towns of Algonquin, Hampshire, Huntley and Marengo, all of which perform slightly better than the average unit. She returned in 2000 for her third week at Hamburger University, which she says was extremely rewarding. "My advice, when you go, is to thoroughly enjoy everything," says Singleton. "While it's easy to just focus on the exam, that's only a small part of it. I'd really suggest taking in everything that happens to you there, especially with the people you meet and the relationships you make. It's going to be something you refer to and remember for the rest of your McDonald's experience."
Basic Training
Before buying a franchise, make sure it has a quality training program.
After all, if you're expected to learn the language, you'd better have capable instructors. Bob Garrow, professional speaker, leadership trainer and author of Ahoy Mates! Leadership Lessons from Successful Pirates, knows what it takes to get people started on the right foot. Based on his suggestions, we've culled five rules to live by when looking at a franchise training program:
- Do what you can to make sure the training content is relevant to what franchise owners experience in their natural environments.
- You may hate exams and testing, but you'd better make darn sure that the franchise training program requires some sort of test, because you'll hate being a clueless business owner much more than that test.
- The program should be fun.
- Two words: interactive learning.
- The agenda should contain a variety of learning methods and changes of pace so it holds your attention.

[1202] Extrauterine Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma: A Clinicopathologic Study of 63 Cases
Ramya P Masand, Elizabeth D Euscher, Michael T Deavers, Anais Malpica. The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX
Background: Extrauterine endometrial stromal sarcoma (EESS) is an uncommon tumor that occurs in patients (pts) over a wide age range. The extrauterine location, non-gynecologic symptoms/signs at presentation and confounding histologic features can pose a diagnostic challenge. In this study, we present the clinicopathologic features of 63 such cases.
Design: 63 cases of EESS from a period of 20 yrs were retrieved. Clinical information was obtained from the pts' charts and questionnaires sent to physicians. The following clinical parameters were recorded: pts' age, clinical presentation, treatment (tx), recurrences and current status. In 46 cases slides were re-reviewed. The following pathologic parameters were recorded: size and location, gross and microscopic features, and evidence of endometriosis.
Results: The pts' ages ranged from 27 to 87 yrs (median 50). The most common symptoms/signs were: abdominal/pelvic mass or pain, vaginal bleeding, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Tumor size ranged from 1.2 to 24.5 cm. The most common sites of involvement included ovaries (24), bowel wall (27), abdomen/peritoneum (37), pelvis (20) and vagina (6). Multiple sites of involvement were present in 34 cases. 42/45 cases had a classic microscopic pattern and 1 had dedifferentiation; 16 had vascular invasion. Sex-cord elements were seen in 8, smooth muscle differentiation in 3, myxoid change in 4, and hyaline plaques in 23 cases. Stromal fibrosis was present diffusely in 5 and focally in 21 cases. Endometriosis was noted in 29/63 cases. CD10 was diffusely (+) in 26 and focally in 3 of 29 cases. Desmin was focally (+) in 7/15 cases. ER was (+) in 27/28 cases; PR was (+) in 33/34 cases. In 25% of cases an initial diagnosis other than ESS was made: GIST, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, synovial sarcoma, MPNST and various sex cord stromal tumors. 61/63 pts had cytoreductive surgery, 31/48 had hormonal tx, 13/45 had chemotx, and 7/45 had radiation tx. Follow up ranged from 5 to 336 months; 14 cases were lost to follow up. 29 pts had recurrent disease; the time to recurrence ranged from less than 12 mos to 192 mos (median 42 mos). 7 pts died of disease (DOD) with a median of 70 mos from dx to death, 14 pts are alive with disease, and 27 pts are alive without disease.
Conclusions: EESS is commonly associated with endometriosis and tends to be indolent with a propensity for recurrence. 6/7 pts who DOD had bowel involvement and 1 had dedifferentiation. Unusual histologic features or presentation and the extrauterine location lead to an inaccurate dx in a significant number of cases.

Since the 9/11 attacks, no book has provided a satisfactory answer as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately responsible for carrying them out - until now.
For SoTT readers who might not know the history of the US colonies, this guy Roger Williams was banished by the Massachusetts Bay Colony as a religious heretic, so he left Boston, moved a few miles south and founded Rhode Island. The first US colonists wanted to be free of the British state religion, but in their zeal they established their own state religion instead! Roger Williams saw the hypocrisy and he argued for separation of church and state, which as the story notes is now part of the US 1st Amendment.
That religion established in the New England states before the Revolution was Congregationalism, and survives today as a branch of Protestantism. (One of my uncles was a Congregationalist minister in Connecticut.)

Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.

My name is !Ziggy Stardust - meet him!!
Facts about !Ziggy Stardust - meet him!
- Breed: Cairn Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
!Ziggy Stardust - meet him!'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Ziggy stardust is the most adorable cairn terrier mix, he is 17 lbs and approx 3 yrs old, he is so very sweet and just wants to be loved, he is very well house trained, does pretty well on a leash and is just a loving and well behaved little boy, he does well with the other dogs , and loves to curl up in his big doggie bed..he is on a monthly preventative for HW. He sleeps in his bed all night, and curls up in it after walks or playtime outside. He is not high energy, would be perfect for a calm lifestyle. He can be with other dogs, or on his own. He has not proven to be a chewer, and has figured out the doggie door on his own - very smart little man. He is not food aggressive, but he is food motivated, which makes him easy to train.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
!Ziggy Stardust - meet him!, a Norwalk Cairn Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cairn Terrier for sale in Norwalk, or seeking a Cairn Terrier dog from a breeder in Norwalk.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Norwalk already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Norwalk breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Cairn Terrier breeders who help with Cairn Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Norwalk paves the way for another one to be saved.

If you were a young, aspiring Chicago politician, looking for someone to model yourself after, who would you go to for advice? Barack Obama? Richard M. Daley? Michael Madigan? How about Roland Burris?
The man knew how to play the game. He was the first African-American to win statewide office in the state that has elected more African-Americans than any other. Overall, he won four statewide elections in Illinois -- three for comptroller and one for attorney general -- and was never indicted during his 16 years in Springfield. Those are both remarkable achievements.

More reviews by sophielovesnaps
Considering the price of this product I was expecting a little more pigmentation. Even after vigorously swirling my brush in the blush I struggle to get any amount of colour on my cheeks! However if you are after a sheer blush the colour (when it actually shows) is very nice.
I just started using this blush and really like it. I normally wear peachy/bronzy shades when it comes to blush, so this is a nice addition to my collection. On me, Desert Pink shows up as a muted, medium pink and it gives my cheeks a nice, natural flush. All of Bobbi's shades seem so subtle, but essential too. This has a nice color payoff that I think would good on fair to medium skintones.

Desert Pink is my first foray into Bobbi Brown blushes. I had previously been using BeneFit's "Dandelion," but the color was often too light for my (pale) skin, and the sparkles became a bit unflattering after a few hours of wear. I asked a Bobbi Brown consultant to match me with a matte pink, and she chose Desert Pink. So far, I love it! Very pigmented (a plus after "Dandelion") and looks very natural on my skin. My only complaint is that the product disperses everywhere when I swipe it with a brush - I end up having to "dab" the middle of the compact with my brush so as not to get powder all over the container, the air, the rug, etc. Very bizarre! I would definitely prefer a less shallow container so that I don't lose product. Regardless, not a deal breaker!
EDIT: This broke me out. Have moved on to Tarte blushes.

I have several BB blushes including Pale Pink, Desert Rose, Nectar, and Pink Raspberry pot rouge. Lucky27 described Desert Pink perfectly: "It is a matte pink, less muted than desert rose, and less bright than nectar. Seems right in the middle and a great blush color addition." I like it much more than Desert Rose on my cool PPP skin, and it's a great alternative to using Pale Pink constantly.

really pretty color warms the face up looks really pretty and goes on smooth but powder ends up puffing all over the air.
Let me start off by saying that I am the jackass of blushes.. I love concealers and foundations and I'm an expert in hiding flaws.. Yet at 32 years old I do not wear blush. I never really knew how to apply it without looking like either a hooker or a grandmother.. Therefore, I finally got the courage to ask the BB salesgirl for her help. I specifically stated that I needed a blush that was "fool-proof" and she recommended Desert Pink. Love the matte natural pink tone to this blush and my husband did not even notice that I added "something" to my face.. and he notices everything. I like that its just a "whisper" of color and you can build onto it. Thanx BB. Will consider adding more colors to my no longer virgin cheeks :)

Got this blush today in my bobbi brown haul.. it's great! It's not the color I expected though, it looks much different than the picture online. But the bobbi brown makeup artist recommended it for my coloring, and it does look good on me and suits my coloring! This blush is very good quality, looks great on, applies great, and doesn't look cakey or anything! Bobbi brown powder blush is my new favorite powder blush.. and best blush I have tried yet! I will definitely buy more of these.

Love it. Wore BB Pale Pink for 5+ years and bought this one to change it up. The descriptions below are accurate - matte pink. It is great on my PPP NC 25 skin (Blond hair and Green eyes). Very glad I purchased this and I use it often and am always glad to have it as an option. Another winner from BB - she does blushes SO well.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a neutral, pale pink matte blush. No shimmer. It was recommended by a BB makeup artist on the internet...I just described my coloring (fair, blue eyes, reddish brown hair). I was using Desert Rose and loved that one too. I would describe Desert Pink as Desert Rose's shy younger sister. It is great for daytime wear. You might want to punch up the color for nighttime by adding a "pop" of color. BB pale pink is a good choose.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my favorite BB blush color. It is a soft pink that looks very natural and shows up nicely on my fair to medium skin. The quality is amazing and it doesn't turn colors (orange) like other blushes I have tried. I also love that it is matte. I wear this over BB Bronzing powder and it looks amazing. I do use a skunk brush because I have a tendency to get overzealous with blush. My HG!

Sounds Like Predators are Coming to Call of Duty: Ghosts
"If it bleeds, we can kill it." This is a quote from the film 'Predator,' which is teased in a new video for the Devastation downloadable content pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts.
The video was posted to the official Call of Duty Instagram, giving us just a few seconds of gameplay on what looks to be Ruins, one of the new maps in Call of Duty: Ghosts' Devastation DLC.
In the background, you can hear sharp clicking noises, which are telltale signs that a Predator is stalking about. The player desperately searches around to find the source of the noise, but it seems like it's too late because a cloaked figure rushes towards him.
We'll have to wait until Apr. 3 to see just what kind of role the Predators will have in the DLC. Until then, keep your eyes peeled and peep the video below.

Adam Wainwright confessed to giving Jeter a free hit in his final All-Star Game
Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright paid tribute to Derek Jeter twice Tuesday night, first when he stepped off the mound to let the Yankee legend soak in the applause, and then again when he sent a fastball floating down the middle, just begging to be hit. Jeter did just that, swatting the offering to right field for a double.
After the game, Wainwright admitted to tossing a total meatball.
Adam Wainwright admitted he grooved a fastball to Derek Jeter in the first: "I was gonna give him a couple pipe shots. He deserved it."
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 16, 2014
And, when critics complained about Wainwright stomping on the game's integrity, the hurler apologized, saying he was "an idiot."
The parting gift was reminiscent of the easy cheese Cal Ripken, Jr., swatted for a home run in the 2001 All-Star Game. And though Jeter's double made for a tidy ending, too — the aging Jeets returning to vintage form with a signature line drive to the opposite field — the scripting undercut some of the magic in the supposedly spontaneous moment.
Mike Huckabee on 2016 bid: 'I'm moving in that direction'
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) said Sunday he is leaning toward another run at the White House.
"I think it's pretty evident that I'm moving in that direction," Huckabee said on Meet the Press.
Earlier this month, Huckabee left Fox News after more than six years with the network, a move widely seen as a prerequisite for a 2016 bid. You can watch Huckabee's entire Meet the Press interview here.
Bobby Jindal backs constitutional amendment on gay marriage
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) on Sunday joined the push for a constitutional amendment that would allow states to define marriage for themselves.
The Supreme Court this month agreed to hear arguments over whether the Constitution guarantees same-sex couples the right to marry. A decision is expected this summer, and Jindal said shoud the Justices side with same-sex marriage advocates, he would support a legislative effort to override that ruling.
"I certainly support Ted Cruz and others that are talking about making an amendment — a constitutional amendment — to allow states to continue to define marriage," he said in an interview with ABC.
Saturday Night Live on Deflategate: Tom Brady did it
Mystery solved: Tom Brady deflated all those footballs, according to Saturday Night Live's take on Deflategate.
As expected, SNL opened this weekend with a sketch lampooning the New England Patriots' alleged ball tampering, with a curmudgeonly Bill Belichick throwing his squirming QB under the bus. And yes, there were some jokes about balls. —Jon Terbush
Greece holds election that could serve as referendum on austerity
Greek voters headed to the polls Sunday for a crucial election that could set the stage for a showdown with the European Union over austerity measures.
The left-wing Syriza party, which led in the run-up to the election, has vowed to renegotiate a $270 billion international bailout it blames for the country's poor financial health. Led by 40-year-old Alexis Tsipras, Syriza has also said it will demand creditors write off billions of dollars of Greece's debt.
"Democracy will return to Greece," Tsipras said Sunday.
Bill Nye on Deflategate: Patriots' explanation 'didn't make any sense'
Bill Nye, the celebrity scientist and former host of an eponymous TV show, on Sunday threw cold water on New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick's amateur science explanation for why footballs used in last weekend's AFC Championship game were underinflated.
"What he said didn't make any sense," Nye said in an interview with ABC.
Belichick on Saturday said atmospheric conditions, not deliberate tampering, caused the balls to fall below the minimum allowable PSI, saying the team "absolutely followed every rule to the letter." —Jon Terbush
Rebel missile attack kills 30 civilians, injures 100 in Ukraine
Pro-Russian separatists on Saturday launched missile attacks on the southeastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, killing 30 civilians and injuring more and 100.
"This is a crime against humanity to be tried by the Hague tribunal," Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said in a statement.
Rebels fired around 60 missiles in two separate attacks, with the scope of the bombardment suggesting, according to Western officials, some degree of Russian involvement. Secretary of State John Kerry called the attack "reprehensible" adding that it was "aided and abetted by Russia's irresponsible and dangerous decision to resupply" the rebels despite a delicate truce.
Moscow denied any role in the attack.
Republican presidential hopefuls gather in Iowa for 2016 kickoff
A slew of potential Republican candidates for the 2016 presidential nomination descended on Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday for a conservative summit considered the unofficial kickoff to the next election cycle.
Sponsored by Iowa Rep. Steve King (R), the event drew prospective candidates ranging from the moderate (New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie) to the Tea Party-aligned (Texas Sen. Ted Cruz), the latter of whom challenged his fellow speakers to "show me where you stood up and fought" President Obama's policies. Other featured attendees included Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Notably, two of the most prominent potential GOP candidates — Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney — did not attend, citing scheduling conflicts.
Japanese PM Shinzo Abe 'speechless' over ISIS execution of hostage
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Sunday that though intelligence experts had yet to verify a video purporting to show ISIS had executed one of two Japanese hostages, the evidence had "a high chance of being real."
The video, which surfaced Saturday, showed one of the hostages, Kenji Goto, holding an image of what appeared to be the decapitated body of the other prisoner, Haruna Yukawa. Though ISIS initially sought a $200 million ransom for the two men, the group instead offered in the latest video to swap Goto for the release of Sajida al-Rishawi, a woman sentenced to death in Jordan for a 2005 terror attack.
President Obama called Abe Sunday to offer his condolences, saying the US. stood "shoulder to shoulder" with Japan.
Bill Belichick addresses Deflategate: 'I'm not a scientist, and I'm not a league official'
Bill Belichick spoke after the New England Patriots' practice on Saturday, saying the team had conducted an internal study on how footballs used in Sunday's AFC Championship against the Indianapolis Colts might have become deflated.
The short explanation? Science.
The Pats' head coach suggested that "atmospheric conditions" could have affected the footballs' air pressure, so that while the footballs were initially set to a proper 12.5 PSI, they eventually "adjusted to climatic conditions and...reached an equilibrium state" lower than originally set. Belichick said that he and other team officials had spoken to "a lot of people," and that they learned that while a football's texture is easy to identify, the pressure is "a whole different story."
Belichick again reiterated that the Patriots delivered footballs to the officiating crew that had been set to the proper PSI, and he lamented spending the week before the Super Bowl answering inquries about the controversy.
"I'm not a scientist, and I'm not a league official," he said. "(But) we feel like we followed the rules of the game to the letter."
Pro-Russian militants attack key Ukrainian port, officials say at least 30 dead
Having rejected further peace talks on Friday, pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine launched a new offensive a day later, attacking the country's strategic port of Mariupol, Reuters reports.
Mariupol city officials said at least 30 people were killed and more than 80 were injured in the Saturday clashes. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ordered an emergency security council meeting, to be held on Sunday.
"We are for peace, but we accept the challenge of the enemy," Poroshenko said. "We will protect our motherland."
The European Union's foreign policy chief called openly on Russia to use its "considerable influence over separatist leaders," to halt the offensives; Moscow has continued to deny that it is supporting the rebels.

Today when I got to school, I did my usual routine: I went to my locker, dropped off my books in class and then headed to the bathroom, but today was different. I turned the corner into the bathroom and what did I see? A bunch of girls standing there half naked changing their clothes IN THE MIDDLE of the bathroom. One stood there bent over and stared at me and then apologized for being in the way. Then me being all akwardy cause I wasn't expecting any of this, tried to weave my way through the group of them, to get to a stall. Then I just sat in my stall quietly laughing at the upsurdity of it all. Also, I was wishing that I had some gay friends to tell this to.
It made my day just cause it was hilarious. If they knew me and knew I was gay I wonder if they would have acted any different. I wonder.
That's pretty zany.
Who does that in the middle of the bathroom??

St. Laurence student gives back at home and abroad
BY CHERYL DANGEL BARTOLINI Correspondent November 15, 2013 4:34PM
Lorenzo Morales, of St. Laurence High School in Burbank, recently went on a service-oriented trip to Peru. | Supplied photo by Amy Keating
Updated: December 19, 2013 6:06AM
Lorenzo Morales, a senior at St. Laurence High School in Burbank, enjoys giving back.
As a freshman, he remembers hearing a member of the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers talk about the needy in Peru, and it moved him so much he wanted to go there and help out.
"I talked to my parents and it was fine with them," Morales said, "but I had to raise the money."
The cost was $2,500, but since Morales' class was the first one to go, the school paid for half, leaving each student to come up with $1,250 on his own. Morales, 18, turned to his relatives, all of whom support community service, and they pooled their funds so he could participate in the trip sponsored by the Christian Brothers program.
For two weeks last June, Morales lived and worked among the needy in Peru. He toured neighborhoods and helped out at the local Christian Brothers school, visited orphanages as well as soup kitchens. Ultimately, he helped demolish a home that was falling apart and then helped rebuild it.
"We put the walls up. The house wasn't anything too difficult. I basically hammered, nailed and help put on the roof," Morales said.
"It made me feel really good inside because I felt like I was doing it for the homeowner and she wasn't used to having strangers helping her. It felt really good."
Morales, the son of Julie and Ezra Morales, of Burbank, also volunteers in his hometown. He helps out at the rectory at his parish, St. Albert the Great in Burbank. He also has logged service hours at a retirement some.
"I like being a friend to the retired people there because they don't get a lot of visitors," he said.
For the Oak Lawn Park District, he helped out with an Easter egg hunt. He's also planning to volunteer at the Animal Welfare League in Chicago Ridge.
Morales said his grandmother, Angela Morales, of Chicago, is his mentor.
"I look up to her a lot because she never judges me and she's had a hard time," Morales said. "My grandfather died and she had to raise my dad and his two siblings by herself. She is wise and gives me advice all the time."
At school, Morales is a member of the soccer team, track team and is treasurer of the National Honor Society.
Next year, he would like to attend the University of Illinois and major in business finance.
"I would like to be a financial advisor. I like money, so working with money and numbers would be something I'd like to do," he said.
He knows he'll have to work hard to achieve his dreams.
"If I do all the hard stuff now it will all pay off in the end when I have a career I enjoy," he said.

Breakfast Topic: Fancy meeting you here
Some of us find fellow players through work, some of us meet them on the street or in the store, and there's no real way to identify them. Whether it's a hoodie, a sticker on a car, or someone making the familiar mouse and keyboard hand motions when mentioning they play video games, there's a peculiar thread that connects the millions of people that play WoW. It's identifying that thread that can sometimes be tricky. By the end of the conversation, it was pretty much decided that WoW players need some sort of signal to indicate they play, a secret hand gesture of some sort.
As for myself, the most random of these moments was selling my television. I found a buyer who arrived with a friend to pick up the thing and noticed the friend was wearing a WoW hat. Upon asking him if he played, I discovered not only did he play, he had played on my server, and not only had he played on my server, he played a character that I'd randomly /licked in Dalaran out of sheer boredom one evening when turning in a cooking daily.
Small world.
With a game that has over 11 million players, running into someone that plays the game at some point in real life is almost a given. Where have you met your fellow players? What's the most random, unexpected moment you've run into someone that plays WoW?

Dead Rising
Capcom comes up with a killer game
Dead rising is an action-adventure game, whose main point is to kill as many freakin' zombies as you can.
You start off as a budding paparazzi photojournalist, Frank West, who travels to a town to report on the riot going on there. Or so he thinks, as when he gets there, he realizes it's not a riot, but zombies killing and eating the residents of the town. Since he is going by helicopter, he stops at a helipad on a mall (wow, since when did malls have helipads?), and this is where the whole game is played. There are a few people who have managed to escape the zombies, and have barricaded themselves in it, until an old lady moves the barricade and runs out to the zombies in an attempt to escape her dog. So, the mall is now filled with zombies, and you have to fight them off, and find out what's going on, in 72 hours, as your helicopter will return back to pick you up at that time. So the whole game is basically timed. The story is not pretty deep, but it is uniquely presented, with about 4 cases you have to finish. Each case is timed, and you have to periodically check your watch to see how much time you have left. In case you are not on time, you will have to start from your last save and try to be on time or else you will die and its game over. In this way, the story doesn't progress in a linear fashion, which is an interesting aspect of the game.
The game is very fun to play, with tons of replay value, as killing zombies just never gets boring. Another key asset to the gameplay, is that Dead Rising is possibly, the game which has the largest variety of weapons. Anything you can think of, which would be in a mall, can be used as a weapon. From potted plants, to stuffed toys (Yes, you read that right) to chainsaws, to herbs and condiments, to electric guitars, everything is your weapon. Apart from these, for the serious gamer, there are lots of guns and explosives to use in the game. However, one deterring aspect is the save game.
You can only use restrooms or sofas to save, but the problem is there are precious few restrooms to save. There really should have been an autosave feature, this being an action-adventure game or a lot more places to save. When playing some missions you do get allies, but they are never quite useful. Other than the main missions, there is a plethora of side-missions, like escort missions, where you guide people to a safe place, namely the Security Room. These side-missions will give you a ton of Prestige Points (PP) which ups your level, giving you some benefits, like different ways to kill or evade zombies, or having a larger life, or a greater carrying capacity. As you are a photojournalist, you always carry a camera, and taking good photos gets you a lot of Prestige Points. There are 6 basic genres of photos including Brutality, Erotica and Drama.
Taking photos is quite easy to begin with, but difficult to master, but if you do get good enough photos, you get a tremendous amount of Prestige Points. There are two basic ways to kill zombies, melee or throwing stuff. Most weapons can be used both. But some are better in one way than the other. For example, it's definitely better to throw a TV on a zombie than to actually hit it over their heads, as that takes time, and makes you vulnerable to attacks from other zombies. Other than zombies, there are also Psychopaths, who are sort of mini-bosses, whom you meet quite infrequently.
The graphics in Dead Rising are good, but not really great. You have to give credit to the fact that the game features hundreds of zombies coming at you and is able to fit all of them in the screen, with no drop in framerate whatsoever. However, some more detail could have been done on Frank West's animations, as his walking looks very weird, almost zombie-like! Also, the lip-synching during cutscenes is quite bad, although the other player models look and walk fine. Explosions have been done quite well and the mall and its stores all look great and very life-like. A special mention should go out to the development team for making the zombies look scary, but at the same time, look like any person would love to hate.
The audio in the game is nothing short of being great. From the sound of whacking a zombie in the face with a baseball bat, to grinding them under a lawnmower, every sound is satisfying. The dialogues in the game are good, and the voice-acting has been carried out very well. The zombies sound stupid and dumb, which is great, as they are meant to sound like that.
On the whole, Dead Rising is a great game, which is fun to play, but becomes very frustrating because of the lousy save game aspect.
The Scorecard | |||||||
Fun and satisfying. Unique presentation of story. |
No drop in framerate even though a large number of zombies are present on the screen, but below-average lip-synching, good looking environment and player models. | ||||
Lovely and satisfying sounds of killing zombies, good voice-acting and good dialogues. |
Killing zombies with a pack of cards is a joy every Xbox 360 owner should experience. | ||||
Great replay value, as killing zombies just never falls out of fashion. However, game is hindered by a lousy save game aspect |
Great game and super-fun. |

Over the weekend, my gaming group played FoD, and I believe we were playing a rule quite incorrectly. When in a city, if a player doesn't want to heal or trade, the only other choice is to resupply. The rules say the player can take an event and/or (depending on city size) another event or item. When we were playing, we were always picking up another event card (even when the hunters were fully stocked, and didn't need further bonuses). Rereading the rules carefully, it seems as if we were playing incorrectly-- that you could, if you wanted to, move to a new town and do nothing at all, thus depriving Dracula of potentially another of his event cards.

Yes, it is not compulsory. One of the tricks to the game is not to draw events if you don't think you need them, as you don't want to give extra cards to Dracula.
Once you've been in the situation of closing in on a cornered Dracula and then one of your hunters, with 3 excellent event cards already, decides to draw another event because he can, and ends up handing Dracula the dreaded Evasion card .. then you'll recognise the importance to this little piece of strategy.

G.A.S. Gloves
Awesome design, suits my style. Felt kinda thin till you put 'em on then warm as toast. Good luck getting wrist guards under these gloves, not a problem for me as I don't really wear wristguards that much anymore. I bought the Ben Tour in an L and it's a perfect fit, I have long thin hands. Tried some on in a shop in Australia, priced at AUD$170!! US$40 you can't go wrong :) If you're after something a bit different and don't need to layer these are for you.

Kettell's Greenhouse history goes back almost 90 years when Edward Kettell, an Italian immigrant, built his first greenhouse. He grew plants for his own truck farm and supplied other farmers with vegetable plants. Now, third and fourth generations are commercial growers.
Among the plants grown are flowering annuals, perennials, vegetables, herb, hanging baskets and potted plants. The total production amounts to almost three and a half acres in the spring. Sales are open to the general public, garden centers and farmers. A fund-raising plan is also available to schools, scout troops, churches, sports teams and other organizations.
In addition, the business specializes in growing plug trays of seedlings for other greenhouses and farmers. Hardy mums are available for the Fall.
Kettell's is located along the Susquehanna river on route 92 in Falls, Pa. Please see our contact page for hours and to comment and for directions view the directions page for a map to the greenhouses.

The retail pulse is back in the Middle East.
Fashion brands point to positive trends in the region, including the return of tourists, particularly in Dubai. Wealthy Chinese are streaming in — picking up the slack from fewer Russian visitors — shoring up a fast-growing destination for Europe's luxury players even though business isn't near pre-recession levels.
Hermès, which operates five stores in the region, is to open in Beirut, Lebanon, on July 30, with three more stores on the way over the next two years in Kuwait; Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. Missoni and Oscar de la Renta also plan to launch in the Middle East. De la Renta will open three boutiques in the next 18 months in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Abu Dhabi, and Doha, Qatar, with a shop-in-shop in Riyadh in 2011.
Van Cleef & Arpels, which owns stores in Dubai, Bahrain and Kuwait, is to open a shop in Kuwait this month, followed by units in Doha in October and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, toward the end of this year or early next year.
Last week, Christian Louboutin was in Beirut to mark the opening of a 1,000-square-foot store and autograph his red-soled styles. The launch of that boutique followed the March opening of a Louboutin store in Jeddah. Both are in partnership with Chalhoub Group. More openings are planned for Dubai and Riyadh before the end of the year.
Also last week, Louis Vuitton opened its first store in Beirut, a two-level, 2,900-square-foot unit at 103 Allenby Street near the Beirut Souks. Dior and Chloé launched units in Beirut in December.
And Giorgio Armani put his stamp on the Dubai skyline in April, opening a 160-room hotel in the Burj Khalifa tower, the world's tallest building.
Lebanon's best-known fashion export, Elie Saab, last month opened his first flagship in the Dubai Mall. Saab, who counts the Middle East as his biggest market, described the location as a "luxurious and strategic destination." He also operates flagships in Paris, London and Beirut. Coming within the next 18 months are locations in Beverly Hills, Hong Kong and Moscow.
European brands have a history in the region, with Ferragamo arriving in 1994, Tiffany & Co. in 1995, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Burberry in 1997 and Cartier in 2000.
The market is forecast to grow 6.6 percent this year, according to Italy's luxury goods association, Fondazione Altagamma. Although trade is picking up, retailers acknowledged the global recession, fluctuating dollar and ruptured credit lines are among the factors that have contributed to a general decline in spending in the region over the past two years.
"Traffic in stores is much slower, but from indications we get from brands we work with, business and tourism is coming back," said Christophe Penne, vice president and merchandise manager, Al Rubaiyat Co., which operates 63 multibrand stores and branded partnerships in Saudi Arabia, with 24 store openings over the past two years that were planned before the downturn. Brands distributed by the company include Balenciaga, Lanvin, Prada, Ralph Lauren and Yves Saint Laurent.
With consumers looking for quality heritage product rather than trendy fashion, the luxury retailer scaled down volumes and shed 22 niche brands.
"We strengthened our top-tier luxury business and cut off midrange and niche brands," said Penne, adding that Saudi Arabia's large royal family is the kingdom's biggest consumer of luxury goods.
The drop in local spending power, on some levels, is relative. "I was talking to a prince recently who said, '[During a crisis] billionaires become millionaires,'" Penne said.
Saudi Arabia, a closed, conservative market, showed resilience during the financial crisis, experts said. Dubai, which was hardhit by a steep decline in tourism, on which it depends, is showing the speediest rebound.
Monthly traffic at the grandiose Dubai Mall, which opened in 2008, has reached as many as five million visitors. New mall developments in the region include the just-opened Mirdif City Centre in Dubai and the Dalma Mall in Abu Dhabi, which is to open later this year. Both are about 2 million square feet.

As I mentioned we just opened the wines today and did a vertical this afternoon. The 2003 is ready to drink and is showing flavors of forest floor and leather. The 2004 is a little more opulent and displaying more fruit, the acid/tannin balance on the 04 are in perfect harmony right now and probably so for the next 2-3 years. The 2005 could last a few more years and is drinking nice now, a little more about the spice then the 04. The 2006 would benefit from a year or two more. Still pretty big and brawny. Our general experience with Tempranillo is the older the better. The Spanish are on to something with their gran reservas.
Anyone in / near Boulder, CO want to split a case?
I'm trying to come up with a reason not to buy this. Is it possible to not buy it? The price is disgustingly tempting... Great start to my S(erious)SIWBM.
I've been waiting for a long time to finally break my wine woot cherry... here goes!
chado006 wrote:I've been waiting for a long time to finally break my wine woot cherry... here goes!
It's a slippery slope, my friend.
Anthony this seems like an outstanding value, and appreciate you sticking around to answer questions. For serving these do you have any recommendations on foods to pair with the various vintages? Also, a random question, is your Truchard family any relation to the the Dr. Truchard who is CEO of National Instruments Corp (NASDAQ: NATI)?
When we saw this, the varietal and then the price... SO immediately said buy it. We are fans of Temp so are looking forward to this. Not familiar with the vineyards. Are they truly from Napa ?? We've had some from Europe and Santa Cruz but that's about it.
The 2000 Tempranillo got 88 points from wine spectator, this is an impressive deal.
why not shipping to Idaho? I've had wine shipped here many times.
kgw7208 wrote:Anyone in / near Boulder, CO want to split a case?
Detailed notes on each vintage, found by digging into the link that MarkDaSpark provided: 2003 2004 2005 2006 Not a ton more info that what was already in the listing, but has some extra cooperage, innoculation, and fermentation details that might be of interest.
Just had the 2005 Tenpranillo and poured some for my roommates. 1 gave a strange face but had ice cream right before. My other roommate with a more discernible pallet described it as sharp and has a long finish. I can see why my roommate described it as sharp it since it's acidic and has a really long finish. I was enjoying this with my cabbage salad and soft-shell crab dinner. Probably not the best pairing in the world for this wine but it worked well with the fatty part of the crab. This wine would go GREAT with a creamy pasta or a nice fatty juicy cut of steak. The acidity of the wine would cut through the rich foods delightfully. Man I need to get my hands on a nice juicy steak now.
This looks to be a real deal! The larders are full, but at this hard-to-resist price, I can squeeze half a case in various nooks. Any Carson City or Reno area folks interested in splitting a case?
I'm down too! I live in Berkeley

I agree with everyone else. I bought Truchard Tempranillo during the last offering and was very happy. Very well made wine for what I recall was about $12 a bottle. At less than $7, this is an absolute steal. I am definitely in for a case.
although i'm a Black Box Wooter this is my first wine woot. It seems like a great deal and the vineyard and wine seems to garnish good reviews. Just in time for my new hand built wine cellar
Hey everyone - just in case you weren't aware - today is National Donut Day. National Donut Day 2011: Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme Giving Away Free Donuts June 3 (LOCATIONS) Thank you Michellesisk!! Hmmm, I wonder what wine will go with donuts?
$6.25/bottle? Couldn't resist this one.
4wheeler4 wrote:why not shipping to Idaho? I've had wine shipped here many times.
Usually it's when the winery doesn't have a license to ship to the state. Most often due to low sales or they don't have a distributor for the state. Wine.Woot is only acting as the agent for the wineries.
Autobuy!!!! I would actually like more, but not sure I want a second case enough to set a up a second account. If there's anyone in the Seattle area who wants to split a case, please send me a PM.
wife and i are new to wine woot but everything i'm hearing is saying this would be a good place to start.. anyone in the new england (southern nh/maine and eastern mass or so) area interested in a split? i have a friend in very-southern maine i can use for shipping to.
Yay! first Wine Woot :D Also first case of wine I have purchased. Question: Would i store these in my basement (it stays fairly cool) and should they be at an angle (what angle?).
This is great wine! I buy it whenever it comes up. Thanks for the great offer.
mennethitus wrote:Yay! first Wine Woot :D Also first case of wine I have purchased. Question: Would i store these in my basement (it stays fairly cool) and should they be at an angle (what angle?).
I'm no expert, but from what I understand you want to avoid temperature changes, so your basement may be your best bet depending on where you live in the absence of a wine refrigerator or cellar. As far as the angle, you just want to keep the cork moist so any angle at which the cork maintains contact with the wine (such as perfectly horizontal) would be fine.

Indeed, older Spanish wines! The supermarkets in England are practically giving away Gran Reserva 02 and 03 Tempranillos from areas like La Mancha and Jumilla, and they are an amazing steal. The oak has settled into something softer, and there are aged flavours as well as still-vibrant fruit. And they mostly improve over a couple of days in the open bottle! How would you compare your style of that of a Spanish Gran Reserva, and which region do you like the best? Talking of which, whose wines do you like most in California, our own aside?
I'm SO in for a case. I've not had very much Tempranillo, but the few I've had have been excellent wines. Great deal Woot! Anyone hesitating is wasting this opportunity.
Hey, Woot! Fix your order form. I can only select states that don't allow wine shipments! Otherwise I might have bought.
Ok, I love tempranillo.... the only thing that has me concerned, is in the description it states my word of avoidance... tobacco..... can anyone comment? I hate the essence of tobacco... yuck! So someone please tell me you can't taste it!!! I want this offer!!! Do I need it after I just got 2 boxes delivered yesterday? no, but I WANT it!! Ha Ha
I cannot resist. Coincidently I just purchased a bottle from Coppola of Tempranillo for $8.38 (thank you Target clearance sale!). Now I must drink it today to see what Tempranillo is like. Dash it all! The sacrifices I must make. Just a small complaint. Woot: Please mention whether the bottles are 750 or 375 in future. I assume it's always 750 unless noted but it would be nice to be sure.
I was all set to pull the trigger on this one, but then I noticed that there was no shipping to Louisiana.
NOOOOO....and none to NC. Crap. I was so ready to pick this one up.
Of course, the great deals never ship to Nebraska!! Curses, foiled again!
I'm in, how could I not be? Sad I can only order 1
tdkayl wrote:Of course, the great deals never ship to Nebraska!! Curses, foiled again!
No Missouri shipping either. Very sad day...
So much for summer SIWBM! In for one. At this price, how can one resist? That, and we enjoyed the ones from the November offering!
I have to say, that this is my first wine.woot purchase, and I am very happy, 12 for $76 bucks is a steal in my book, and I can always use some more red in my cellar (non blood I mean) ;)
So, I haven't bought a wine woot in a while. I was all excited to see a good Tempranillo, and then even more excited to see an amazing price on a good Tempranillo. Then I saw the shipping list, no Connecticut Is there anyone who is willing to wootleg this for me? Maybe someone driving to the clambake?
Well I had to jump on this. Took advantage of the earlier offering, but used it all making sangria a few weeks ago, so I really don't know how good the wine is. I remember the sangria was delicious. That's about all I remember from that party.
In for one! Hard to pass up at that price.

Best Director
Who's in:
Alfonso Cuarón, Gravity
Steve McQueen, 12 Years a Slave
Alexander Payne, Nebraska
David O. Russell, American Hustle
Martin Scorsese, The Wolf of Wall Street
The gimmes here were Cuaron, McQueen and Russell. If any of those fellows had been snubbed, it would have been an affront of Affleckian proportions.
There are snubs, yes, but none as egregious as last year — when Ben Affleck, Kathryn Bigelow, and Tom Hooper were shunned. The 377 members of the directors branch are the most offbeat and contrarian of the various Academy groups. They like to choose from the margins of the mainstream.
That's how we get Alexander Payne for the intimate, but incredible black-and-white father/son film Nebraska. And Scorsese proved the "shame on you" admonitions for Wolf were limited to a loud but small group.
Who's out:
I had Paul Greengrass as the wild-card for Captain Phillips, although many pundits had him as a sure-thing. The directors have shown a tendency to respect world-building over tension-building, however. That's why I thought he might get overlooked.
Prize Fighter Score: 4 for 5.
I thought Spike Jonze would connect with the director's branch for his visionary work in Her, but the Academy apparently thinks of that more as a writing accomplishment. (Still, not bad.)
Payne was a much longer shot, but transforming the small-town Midwest into a landscape of wonders and characters who were paradoxically colorfully bland is what got him on the list.
