On the fringe of the CBD lies Surry Hills. This inner suburb offers restaurants, cafes, bars and nightlife and is close to Sydney city, the eastern suburbs, inner western suburbs and major transport services.
Major thoroughfares Crown Street, Cleveland Street and Elizabeth Street all have restaurants on them, and many restaurants are located on side roads like Devonshire Street. The range of cuisines and the level of dining is broad. At the high-end there is Billy Kwong, Marque, Vietnamese trendsetter Red Lantern and French bistro Tabou.
The intersection of Cleveland and Crown has a grouping of Japanese restaurants including Emon, where you can get traditional Japanese dishes like authentic grilled mackerel (and they have a great sake list). Around the intersection of Cleveland and Elizabeth Streets are a collection of Lebanese restaurants including Emad's and Fatimas. Crown Street between Foveaux and Devonshire Street has a broad cross section of restaurants including Prasit's Thai and Bird Cow Fish. And don't forget Vini's Italian food on Holt Street off Devonshire Street.
There is a wide range of cafes too. If you like to start the day with coffee and croissant then head to Bourke Street Bakery on the corner of Bourke and Devonshire Street. The line winding out the door might resemble an Eastern block food queue from the 1960s, but the croissant at the end is worth it!
Surry Hills is not a large suburb: it's likely that if you worked out the per capita distribution of bars and pubs the figure might be frightening. More simply put: there are a lot of drinking establishments here.
There have always been a lot of pubs in Surry Hills. Worth noting are The Clock, The Dolphin and the newly renovated Norfolk Hotel. The Trinity Bar serves up Irish brews, and the Shakespeare around the corner still has a lot of local old world charm. The Cleveland, The Cricketers Arms, The White Horse, Forresters: good, good, good and good. And pretty much all the hotels serve up good pub food too.
The pubs have been joined by new small bars and specialist wine bars like 121BC, Tokonoma and the Absinthe Salon. These are all part of the bar revolution sweeping across Sydney. Indeed, you'll pretty much find that no matter which speakeasy you stumble into, the visit will deliver rewards.
Surry Hills is home to the Belvoir Theatre and is close to the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium. There's also a fashion shopping district and a heavy concentration of designer furniture stores in the area.
Good accommodation is available in Surry Hills from budget to mid-range. The suburb is easily accessed via train from Central Station and there are many bus routes through it in all directions. It's not far from the village-like suburbs of Newtown, Glebe and Paddington. Next door is Darlinghurst and Kings Cross, and the eastern suburbs beaches including Bondi Beach are all within easy reach.

An annual wildland firefighting drill took on a sense of urgency Wednesday as officials continued to predict a worse-than-average fire season this year.
The event, now in its third year, had been scheduled for months, but state fire agencies have been eager to prepare for a potentially busy summer, said Rural/Metro Chief Gary Morris.
"It's like a football team training," Morris said. "If we don't train, we don't win the game. We train to win."
More than 150 firefighters from 23 agencies across the state split into teams and spread out across Usery Mountain Park in Mesa with the charge of fighting a fictional, 580-acre fire.
Although it was only a drill, Incident Commander Ward Fleger reminded the firefighters they could be fighting a fire like the Cave Creek Complex fire, which burned nearly 250,000 acres last year.
"We all know things can get bad pretty fast," Fleger said.
In one area, firefighters marched single file to snake water hoses across the desert in less than a minute.
Another team practiced using fire shelters, protective tarps similar in size and shape to one-person tents. At the signal, about 10 firefighters hit the ground and pulled their pea-podlike shelters around them.
Although the fire shelters deflect heat, they are not fireproof and should only be used as a last resort, said Jason Allred, a firefighter from the U.S. Forest Service.
The firefighters also watched a demonstration for the use of Barricade, a foamy substance that can provide a short-term fire barrier.
During the demonstration, the foam was sprayed onto a wooden board to preserve the integrity of the park's plants.
But not all of the plants at the park were left untouched.
Each team fired up chain saws, trimming trees and clearing shrubs within a 30-foot radius at the park to practice protecting homes.
In another drill, helicopters flew circles around the park, picking up water in one area and dumping it in another, while crews on the ground worked to maintain the water supply.
While the hands-on exercises were the main focus, another function of the training was to promote cooperation among the fire agencies, said Jim Hartsfield, training captain at Rural/Metro.

Shot this a few months ago on a forgotten roll I had developed and scanned but never did anything with.
This is a ride at the Fair that occurs during Oyster Bake which is a major event for Fiesta in San Antonio.
I felt I had to take my Holga, because after owning it for about 5 years I had never shot the lights of a Fair ride with the bulb exposure. Honestly, I do not think I have shot a Fair ride period. So, I loaded up a roll of Kodak Portra in my favorite Holga, the brightly colored one, and set about the adventure of photographing these crazy machines at Oyster Bake.

This past weekend I went to Houston and got to see NASA Headquarters. While on the tour, I saw this massive beauty sitting in Rocket Park.
This was my first time to visit NASA and I was totally acting like a little kid.
Some of the things here where amazing, and to think we built these complex machines which are huge was so surprising.
This was another first for me because I loaded my Holga up with some Lomography X-Pro film and actually had the lab cross processed.
I am very pleased with the results and I am excited that I have 2 more rolls of Lomography X-Pro to play with. I will admit I was always a little nervous when it came to cross processing, I was always afraid I would ruin the roll.
Fears lifted. I love the rich blues the sky has in this photo. I have some others that I will share soon, that really look nice.
Shot with a Holga.
Also, visit NASA sometime. It is an awesome place.
Hey look, another shot from Hawaii. This is goat island, which is a little island offshore from Oahu.
The island can be reached by simply walking out to it, however that would not be a good idea because there are a lot of sea anemones out in the bay, additionally the island is a bird sanctuary; so I decided to keep my distance from it and just enjoy the view.
Shot with a Holga 135.
Shot this from on top of a mountain in Hawaii.
I have to admit, driving up the mountains there is one of the scariest things I have ever done. Narrow roads, and switchbacks make it kind of an uncomfortable drive. But the view, it is spectacular.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lincoln!
Facts about Lincoln
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Lincoln's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Lincoln is a four month old male Pit Bull who was rescued from the shelter after being abandoned by his owner. Lincoln is a real knockout to look at, and his behavior is also pretty amazing. Lincoln is almost 90% potty trained, he is crate trained, and he does well with kids and other dogs. Lincoln is going to be a very large dog at maturity! If you are interested in adoption Lincoln, please apply at www.adarrahbullbullyrescue.webs.com by clicking the adopt a bully link. You can also call Renae at 814-414-8127 for further information. Lincolns adoption fee is $250
Other Pets at A Darrah Bull Bully Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lincoln, a Roaring Spring American Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Roaring Spring, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Roaring Spring.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Roaring Spring 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 Roaring Spring 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 American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Roaring Spring paves the way for another one to be saved.

A video of a church performing an exorcism on a gay teenager is hitting the Internet and making the rounds on cable news networks.
The 20-minute video was posted on YouTube by the Manifested Glory Ministries in Bridgeport, Conn.
The video shows a young man lying on the floor as church members call for the "homosexual demons" to leave his body.
The Christian organization Exodus International is coming forward and rejecting the church's practice.
Exodus International provides prayer counseling for people struggling with homosexuality.
Gay rights advocates are calling the church's actions abuse and are demanding an investigation.
A church official denied the teen was hurt in the exorcism.
"We believe a man should be with a woman and a woman should be with a man," Rev. Patricia McKinney told The Associated Press. "We have nothing against homosexuals. I just don't agree with their lifestyle."
The church has since removed the video, but it is available on some sites that copied it.

text: I put in the CD to get my daughter's reaction to the music, to help me decide if it would be worth carrying in our store. She loved it and I think my husband and I loved it even more! We were singing along to each song, clapping and smiling. It is so rare to find music that has spiritual insight, progressive Christian language, professional quality and that is fun for the whole family. I was delighted to discover it! I think it would be perfect for use in Sunday schools, for fun family listening, and for the whole congregation. The language is progressive and inclusive. The style of music is fun, meaningful, and upbeat. I highly recommend it!

The Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) released its decision in The Queen v. Sommerer on July 13, 2012, concluding that subsection 75(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) does not apply on a fair market sale of property to a trust by a person who is a capital beneficiary of the trust. This decision overrules the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA's) long-standing position that the wording of subsection 75(2) is broad enough to include the fair market value sale.
Until the Tax Court of Canada (TCC) decision in Sommerer v. The Queen, tax professionals usually followed the CRA's position on the broad reach of subsection 75(2), structuring transactions and jumping through hoops to ensure a trust did not acquire any property from a capital beneficiary. In fact, many trusts were drafted prohibiting any purchase of property from a capital beneficiary, even a purchase for fair market value consideration, to prevent an unintentional application of subsection 75(2).
The application of subsection 75(2) can be catastrophic for certain tax planning structures using trusts. Subsection 75(2) attributes income, losses, capital gains and capital losses earned in respect of the contributed property (or substituted property) to the person who contributed the property.
In addition, pursuant to subsection 107(4.1), if subsection 75(2) ever applied in respect of any trust property and the contributor is still alive, only the contributor and his/her spouse can receive the trust property that he/she contributed (or property substituted for that property) on a tax-deferred rollover basis under subsection 107(2). No other tax-deferred rollover of property to a beneficiary is available.

Automatic Valve for Top Mount and Side Mount FilterLike
Sandy Hu
Contact Manufacturer
Product Range Main products
Sand filter, underwater light, pool pump, pool accessories
Target Market(s)Oceania; Southeast Asia; Eastern Europe; Africa(except Middle East); Hong Kong/ Macao/ Taiwan; Latin America; Japan & Korea; Western & Southern Europe; Northern Europe; Central & Southern Asia; Middle East
Basic Specification
Detail Description
POOLKING develop an automatic multiport valve to replace traditional manual valves. To keep pool water in peak condition, the filtering system must be run properly every day, including any filter backwashes required. Otherwise, the water can spoil and its excellent quality is lost, making swimming impossible. Costly refilling or shock treatment with chemicals may be necessary to restore adequate conditions for bathers.
POOLKING Has now developed a new automatic multiport valve that allows the user to forget completely about pool filtering.
Includes an integrated programmable keypad which permits access to the system in order to perform the following operations:
Filtration - Starts up when it receives the instruction from the timer installed in the control panel or any external programmed instruction.
Wash - Starts up automatically on receiving a signal from the pressure switch, and, in all cases, at least once a week. In other words, it is both time and preostat-triggered.
Rinse - Begins automatically after each rinse cycle.
Empty - Push-button operated, which positions the valve. This must be confirmed via the control box. This element prevents accidental emptying of pool.

To Lie With Grace, 5x7" Oil bar on paper, after Silver Valley, Idaho
Enso Artspace opens the autumn exhibition schedule with new work by Kelly Packer in "For What Comes After." In this series Packer investigates the remnants of mining towns of the West. Working from photographs taken during visits to these towns, Packer employs her vibrant color palette to assemble imagery that distills the nature of these quick-to-thrive, quick-to-perish abandoned places. The ominous presence of the mountains, shreds of wallpaper, rust and splintered wood are some of the elements expressed in these works. Also included in this exhibition are richly colored oil stick drawings of noxious plants that overcome these deserted lands.

So, got back from my league night. I took a new experimental list. The list is a bit... troll...ish...
Outer Rim Smuggler (27)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Navigator (3)
Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)
Outer Rim Smuggler (27)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Navigator (3)
Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)
Prototype Pilot (17)
Prototype Pilot (17)
Total: 100
Now, Outer Rim Smugglers get a bad rap. With 2 attack dice, only 4 shields and 6 hull, they are certainly less impressive than their named brethren. I noticed, however, that they can take an interesting combination. APL + Intel Agent + Navigator. Here's how it works:
When activation phase begins, each ORS selects an enemy craft in range 1-2 and looks at its dial. Navigator then allows the ORS to change the speed of any maneuver they select. Since they are PS1, they move before the vast majority of enemy craft. So this change in speed can potentially put them in the way of their hapless victim. At which time an attack die is rolled. On a HIT or CRIT, they take a damage. All this for 33 points.
I thought about taking 3, but I only had 2 YT-1300s (foam slot limitations... don't judge me). But 34 points is exactly 2 PS1 A-Wings. ... Excellent.
The first match was against:
Captain Jonus + Squad Leader
Gamma Squadron + Cluster + Proton Torpedoes
Gamma Squadron + Cluster + Concussion Missiles
2x Academy Pilot
As expected, the list quickly dropped one ORS with an alpha strike. However, as the ships began running into my large, clumsy ships, they were unable to concentrate fire on my second ORS. As both Academy TIEs fell to concentrated fire, he began concentrating on my A-Wings. In one round, he attacked a single A-Wing (with focus) with four ships, three at range 1. All attacks had at least two hits (including one with 2 crits). The A-Wing dodged all of it without spending the focus. He was eventually able to take out the A-Wing, but it was too late. My remaining ORS and A-Wing hunted down each of his bombers to wreak revenge.
The second match was against:
3x Obsidian Squadron
Tempest Squadron
Maarek Steele + Marksmanship
This was my first time facing the ellusive Maarek Steele. He attempted to concentrate fire, but the ORS was just too clumsy, causing him to crash into them repeatedly, doing fistfuls of damage over the course of the game. He was able to take out one ORS, but he just could not escape me as I was able to predict his moves and jam up his flight paths repeatedly. I did get to see Maarek's ability used for the first time, gaining a Direct Hit (of course) because of it.
Third Match was against:
Prototype Pilot
Rookie Pilot
Garven Dreis
Kyle Katarn + Blaster Turret + Recon + Moldy Crow + Shield Upgrade
He had initiative, which caused a couple issues. I attempted to 4 K-Turn into initial combat, but was blocked. Still, this worked out as I had both ORS clogging the center of the map in the asteroids. I was able to do a lot of damage early, but spread out across his forces. I placed the HWK and Garven in a bad position, forcing them to hit the ORS repeatedly. The Anti-Pursuit Lasers earned their pay this day. Still, he was able to take out one A-Wing before his first ship fell, Garven. Shortly thereafter the rest of his fleet fell. He did a lot of damage. In the end, I only lost the one A-Wing but every other ship only had a single hull left. Very close.
Fourth Match was against:
Han + Marksmanship + Gunner + Chewy
2 Rookie Pilots
The classic Han Shoots First list. I setup one A-Wing to the far left, then the rest spread across the middle. He setup to the far right. I swung the ORS up through the middle, one turning up and the other turning right. This meant that I entirely clogged his flght paths. All three craft crashed into the ORS, though one backed up passed the X-Wing. This caused him to not have shots with his X-Wings for several rounds, plus taking a couple damage. As the A-Wings began their assault on Han and the X-Wings and with an ORS blocking heavily, there was little they could do. He managed to eliminate one ORS, but by then it was too late. Both X-Wings had fallen and Han quickly collapsed under the weight of fire.
This list was far, far more successful than I expected it to be. It helps that I can thread a needle when piloting though an asteroid field and frequently surprise opponents with where I can place my craft. Twice I missed an asteroid by less than a millimeter, to the chagrin of my opponent. To be fair, some of that is luck, but I have a reputation for hugging, nuzzling and cuddling asteroids without actually touching them. I didn't expect to go 4-0 with this list. Granted, two of my opponents were relatively new, but two were quite capable fliers.
I believe the problem with fighting this list is that it flies so differently from other lists. I don't have to worry about firing arc with two craft. I'm actively trying to bump and they are large bases so they are capable at that task. Seeing dials and actively fowling the is a brutal tactic and one my opponents were slow to adapt to.

[489] Use of Immunohistochemistry (HMB-45,p16 and Ki-67) in the Diagnosis of Spitzoid Lesions
Ozlem Erdem, Doina Ivan, Victor G Prieto. Gazi University Medical School, Ankara, Turkey; University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre, Houston, TX
Background: Spitzoid neoplasms, which include spitz nevus (SN), atypical spitz nevus (ASN) and spitzoid melanoma (SM), are diagnostically challenging lesions. The histological similarities between SN and other spitzoid lesions may result in considerable problems in differential diagnosis. The aim of this study was to compare immunohistochemical expression of a group of markers including gp 100 (HMB-45), P16 and Ki-67 in spitzoid neoplasms.
Design: Thirty cases of spitz nevi, 19 cases of atypical spitz nevi and 20 cases of spitzoid melanoma were retrospectively selected from the archives of the Department of Pathology at the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center from the period 1992-2006. The diagnoses were confirmed by two authors including also review of clinical charts for possible events. Immunohistochemistry was performed in each case for gp100 (with HMB45), P16 and Ki-67. HMB-45 was evaluated in melanocytes of 3 different localizations of the lesions (i.e. junctional component, and superficial and deep dermis). Cytoplasmic P 16 intensity and percentage were separately evaluated in the dermis. Proliferative index was calculated by counting the cells that expressed Ki-67 per/mm².
Results: Ki-67 proliferative index was significantly higher in SM compared to SN and ASN (p<0.0001). Intensity of cytoplasmic P16 staining was stronger in SN and ASN compared to SM; however the difference between groups were not significantly different. p16 expression percentages was significantly higher in SN and ASN compared to SM (p<0.001). The percentage of intraepidermal cells labeled with HMB-45 was not different among groups. However, more cells in superficial and deep dermis were labeled with HMB-45 in SM compared to ASN and SN (p<0.0001).
Conclusions: According to our data, spitzoid melanoma shows higher expression of gp100 (with HMB45) and Ki67, and lower of p16 than Spitz nevi and atypical spitzoid lesions. Therefore, immunohistochemical analysis of these markers may help in the diagnosis of spitzoid lesions.

A deficiency of Calc Flour results in a loss of elasticity and consequent relaxed conditions. Symptoms traceable to relaxed conditions of elastic fibers: varicose veins, hemorrhoids, a tendency to cracks in the skin between fingers and toes, impaired circulation and muscular weakness are all indications for Calc Fluor. Symptoms are generally worse with humid conditions and better with warmth and massage.
Calc Fluor is specifically useful for relief of symptoms of backache with bearing down pains in the lower part of the back and tired feeling that accompanies them; Hemorrhoids-both internal and blind piles sometimes accompanied by pain in the back. It assists in toning up the relaxed condition of the veins and muscular fibers, a leading cause of hemorrhoids; Muscle Pain-in the legs with a feeling of heaviness due to bad circulation and the pains in the lower back with a dragging sensation.

Svetlin Velinov
Average time per image: Varies depending on mood, project and inspiration. "The fastest artwork I've done is in five hours. Things are different when doing comics because there are some essential stages. It takes me at least two days to do a finished page."
To those who instructed Svetlin Velinov in his formal art studies, the fact that he creates graphics on a computer is pure heresy. The 27-year-old Bulgarian artist, however, whose comic art and distinctive fantasy artwork is fast gaining in popularity, now says that he uses nothing else.
"My professors, educated in the staunchly academic tradition, felt that painting is all about getting dirty with paint and materials," he says. "However, for good or for ill, I knew my own mind and followed my own path."
Instead of indulging in his early aptitude for painting and continuing his education at the National Academy of Arts, Svetlin chose instead to study animation in the New Bulgarian University in Sofia. It was here that he was exposed to new digital techniques and discovered an enduring
love for the comic art form.
Just like any other student, Svetlin needed to earn a living from his chosen path, so he found a job at one of the most prestigious advertising agencies in Sofia, where he worked for three years as their creative designer.
"Over time, my interests expanded," he recalls. "I found myself drawn to fantasy illustrations, character design and concept design. The lively and dynamic drawing style, typical of the comic genre, impacted on my general approach to art and helped me build an individual graphic style."
In 2003, Svetlin quit his job and dedicated himself to drawing. He now works as a freelance artist, a role that enables him to work on a variety of projects.
Digital man
Svetlin doesn't pretend that his background is grounded in the comic art and fantasy genres, rather he says he was influenced by the classicism of Bulgarian and Russian art. "Only when I discovered artists such as Luis Royo, Brom and Simon Bisley, did I decide I wanted to experiment in this aspect of painting," he explains.
Running concurrently with Svetlin's journey into the world of comic graphics was his departure from the analogue world of art production. "In time, I was totally turned off from using paper," he continues. "The scanner became useless. I now do everything with the computer."
For this digital approach, Svetlin prefers to use Photoshop. "This is the program I feel most comfortable using, and with which I feel I can best develop my artistic potential," he says. "I use Painter, too, but unlike Photoshop, my confidence with this program is much weaker, and so the environment feels less intuitive."
On the 3D side of things, Svetlin says he's a big fan of ZBrush. "I really fell in love with this software," he says. "To be really good at 3D art, it's not enough to just have talent. You need to think in a 3D way. That's why there are so few artists who are really good at both 2D and 3D art. ZBrush provides the 2D artist with an accessible way to get in touch with this 'unknown domain' and really takes the fear factor out of manipulating 3D objects."
After going freelance, Svetlin honed his style and improved his drawing techniques. He says it's difficult to generalise when describing how he creates artwork, however, he reveals the basics: "I begin by roughly sketching with the brush."My approach depends on whether I have a concrete idea or I'm just looking for an outline or another form to provide inspiration. After the rough sketch, I try to clear up the composition, working on specific sections. I lighten and flesh out the dark silhouette, then set the form in stone, designing the character and background, and further developing the colour. Applying the right lighting is very important in my pictures. It gives life to the drawing and creates the necessary ambience. Then comes the fine detailing stage and the addition of any important accent colours."
Body of work
Red Moon was the first piece of work that Svetlin published online, at the CGTalk forum. It garnered huge interest and received good feedback. "I know that the forums aren't objective enough and one can often receive praise," he says. "However, this feedback made me believe in my capabilities and my potential. It made me look seriously at becoming a digital artist."
The biggest challenge so far has been his environmental concept work for video game Death Jr. 2 by Konami. "This was probably my first brush with the professional market and it defined my working style," he reveals. "It taught me a lot and made me more disciplined, because I had to be exact and work to a tight deadline. I succeeded because I just couldn't afford to fail."
During the last few months, he has worked on illustrations for Warhammer 40K and Warmachine. "The work on the projects was a real challenge, but fun," he says. "At the moment, I'm working on a game project for the Nintendo DS and a character concept for a future MMO game. I hope to continue illustration work for World of Warcraft and there's the possibility to work with Darkhorse for one of their editions."
"I have a stimulating and interesting work schedule, which provides me with real pleasure and satisfaction," he concludes. "In the future, I hope to produce a book showcasing the best of my work and including previously unseen artwork."

LOS ANGELES, February 17, 2013 — Normally late February and early March are the worst weeks of the year. The Super Bowl is over and the NFL Draft is not until April. Sure there is the Scouting Combine, but even many leatherheads cannot feign excitement for that. There is no sport at a critical juncture. Fans are forced on Sunday to go and "do things," perhaps even outside.
So in a typical year, the end of the NFL season would be a sad affair. Yet for the first time in my lifetime, the passing of football season brings relief. The end of NFL 2012 brings two words that should never be associated with the game of football: Good riddance.
This column was delayed out of respect for the greatest game in the world bringing America one of the most exciting Super Bowls in history. Yet now a couple weeks removed from the confetti, it is a relief that NFL 2012 will never be played again. One of the best Super Bowl games cannot paper over the worst season in the history of the National Football League.
It began in July with the suicide of former star Junior Seau. Dave Duerson also killed himself. Jovan Belcher murdered the mother of his child before taking his own life in front of his coach. Josh Brent was involved in a drunk driving accident that killed his teammate. Before the season was over, another one of Brent's teammates would be arrested for drunk driving.
The New Orleans Saints began the year with players and coaches suspended for instituting a bounty program designed to deliberately injure opposing players. While former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue overturned the suspensions of the players, this was not an exoneration. The bounty program did exist, and Commissioner Roger Goodell was right to crack down hard.
Even the Super Bowl was not immune from unfortunate circumstances. Linebacker Ray Lewis was asked about being involved in a double homicide twelve years earlier and about using illegal substances in the 2012 season. While Mr. Lewis was innocent in both cases, the questions cast a pall and reflected poorly on the media. This was before a 34 minute delay in the actual game because the lights in the Superdome could not even stay on properly.
This was only a few weeks after Robert Griffin III reinjured his knee without being touched. This is part of the game, but still grisly to watch. It was not as bad as Joe Theisman a quarter of a century earlier, but it still turned stomachs.
On the eve of the glorious Hall of Fame celebration, potential nominee Tim Brown accused former Oakland Raiders Coach Bill Callahan of throwing the Super Bowl. Brown quickly backtracked from this ludicrous statement, but the damage was done.
The NFL decided to sabotage its own awards show at the end of the season by revealing the names of the winners before the show even aired. The NFL Network could not even get the time right for the champion Ravens victory parade, listing the time after it had already ended.
Even fans who can never get enough football rejected having Thursday Night Football every week instead of just to open the season and on Thanksgiving Day. The games were terrible, and television revenues will keep the NFL from pulling the plug on an unnecessary expansion of games during the week.
From beginning to end, everything bad about this season washed over what was good.
Commissioner Goodell is heavily promoting the NFL's "Heads Up" youth football program to teach coaches how to show kids the right way to play football. Even kids now know to lead with their shoulders, not their heads. Advancements in medicine could show if players have CTE while they are currently playing. This may prevent 2013 from being as miserable a year as this past one.
The National Football League is the king of all sports. It remains the game I love. Yet next year must be better if this game is to survive into the future. As for now, at least the misery that is 2012 is gone.
Good riddance.

To hear most of the teams talk, none of them had any problems on the opening day at Monza. While that might appear to conflict with the lap times, it tends to reflect the nature of a Friday session when people are often doing different things.
McLaren ended up with the fastest time, 1m 22.386s courtesy of Fernando Alonso, from the afternoon session. But Kimi Raikkonen did 1m 22.446s and Felipe Massa 1m 22.590s in the morning for Ferrari, when Lewis Hamilton did 1m 22.618s. All three of them were slower in the afternoon (1m 23.833s, 1m 23.722s and 1m 23.209s respectively).
Thats because they were trying race set-ups, whereas Alonso had had a steering problem which upset his morning routine.
All of the championship contenders were happy with their days (that minor problem for Alonso, and a hydraulic problem for Raikkonen in the afternoon, apart). Ferrari said they are good on race pace, but still need work on the single lap for qualifying. Massa also reported that the track, while dirty, was definitely in better shape than it had been at the test last week.
Williams had a consistent day, at least with Nico Rosberg, who was fifth in both sessions. He got through a lot of the work that the poor weather last week stymied, and was happy apart from a little uncertainty still on which of the two Bridgestone tyre options - soft and medium - was better. Alex Wurz said his FW29s balance still needed work.
BMW Sauber did not go as fast as expected, but that was partly because they discovered a lot about their F1.07s in the test and thus saved the motors in the first session. Kubica, whose best lap was 1m 23.599s in the afternoon, said his brake balance was worse than in the test, while Heidfeld, who lapped in 1m 23.821s in the afternoon, said his long runs werent as consistent as he would have liked.
Renault had their tail up after Giancarlo Fisichella pushed his R27 to 1m 23.584s in the afternoon, the Italian saying that it was a bit better than normal, and that he correspondingly felt more optimistic than of late. Heikki Kovalainen had a trickier day, flat spotting his tyres on his first lap of the day which delayed his programme. After that he struggled to balance his car, and his best lap was 1m 23.848s in the afternoon.
Honda had a great run in the morning when Jenson Buttons 1m 23.668s was sixth fastest. Rubens Barrichello was only 12th on 1m 24.564s then, and in the afternoon they were 13th and 14th. Button went slower then, while Barrichello improved marginally. Its fair to say the Englishman was happier with his day than was the Brazilian.
Toyota looked in reasonable shape, with Jarno Trulli lapping in 1m 23.919s in the afternoon and Ralf Schumacher in 1m 23.922s. The Italian was happier with his TF107s stability under braking than he had been at the test, and Schumacher said he was reasonably satisfied with what he achieved.
Neither David Coulthard nor Mark Webber reported any problems at Red Bull. Their best laps were 1m 24.605s and 1m 24.328s respectively. Stablemate Sebastian Vettel was happy with his Toro Rosso, which he lapped in 1m 25.439s in the morning, but Tonio Liuzzi reported that his handling felt weird as the car understeered in left turns and oversteered in the right. He also had an electrical problem which lost him his final run in the afternoon. His best lap was thus 1m 25.567s in the afternoon.
At Super Aguri, Takuma Sato was resigned about a best lap of 1m 24.587s in the morning, but Anthony Davidson didnt better 1m 26.021s in the afternoon before his clutch packed up. His best lap was thus the 1m 24.694s that he did in the morning.
Finally, Spyker reported a very productive day further dialling in the new F8-VIIB, though Adrian Sutil lost time in the morning with a gearbox problem. He lapped in 1m 25.130s in the morning to head the Toro Rossos, while Sakon Yamamotos best of the day was 1m 25.448s in the same session. Both drivers believe there is more to come from the revised car.

I'm a university student who loves to cook. I try and eat as healthy as possible, but I'm not someone who likes "diet" food, such as fat free cream cheese or splenda. I feel that things that are chemically altered to that extent can't be very good for you.
Unfortunately, I am also poor, being a student and can't afford to eat organic or all-natural. I try to make as much as I can from scratch so that I know what's gone into it, and I try to find healthy foods that are budget friendly. Feel free to contact me, though I may not respond right away due to enormous amounts of work and studying to do.

I'm not sure if this is implemented or not but I think it would be great if we can register our games online using a serial key that comes with the game (in the game's manual for instance).
This is good for many reasons. First, for proper support so FFG can tell that we are legitimate customers. Second, it is great for the future if FFG would make some online gaming that requires you to buy the actual box to be able to play (or create games).
Days of Wonder has this going on and it feels good to see my collection in my account detail (they know which games I bought).

Meet Charlotte, a junior at the College of Charleston, who gets to live in a historic Charleston house with four of her best friends. Charlotte is an Arts Management major, a part-time blogger, and is social chair of her sorority, Chi Omega. As a past intern of Tory Burch, Free People, and Town & Country, Charlotte shows off her style with an eclectic mix of patterns, knick-knacks, and photographs of art, family, and friends. Stylish, social, and DIY savvy, this Philadelphia born and bred girl shares her own spin on urban style down south.
My favorite part of your bedroom has to be the cardboard deer about your fireplace! Where did you find it? C: It's a taxidermy deer head that I ordered online through Urban Outfitters. I found it by browsing through an online interior decorating blog.
What are some of your favorite things in your room? C: I love taking pictures so I would have to say all of the photos I have hanging in my room. I love mixing my own photos with ones that inspire me. You don't always have to spend a lot of money to make a room be the most 'you' it can be. I find that most of the items in my room that really represent me aren't that expensive at all.

The PGC Way
At PGC, we believe that there is a richness in the sport experience, and our mission is to empower you to experience this richness, including:
- The sense of accomplishment that comes from the mastery of a discipline;
- The special bond created by a team that strives together towards a common goal;
- The satisfaction that comes from the pursuit of excellence;
- The sense of triumph that arises out of overcoming adversity;
- The intensity of competition—the thrill, the joy, and even the disappointment.
These are the things that those of us who teach and work at PGC love about the game. It is this type of basketball experience that has shaped our lives and our careers. As a result, we are passionately committed to providing you—and other players and coaches—with everything you need to achieve your dreams.
We want you to be prepared with the tools that you need to win championships, to earn honors and scholarships, and to play at the next level (if that's what you desire). But we also want you to experience the joy of the journey, and the opportunity that you have to uplift the environments that you're in.
This is what inspires us and is at the heart of who we are. This is the legacy that we received from our founder, Dick DeVenzio—the legacy that we are proud to continue.
At the heart of PGC is the word "SCHAPE," an acronym invented by PGC's Founder, Dick DeVenzio. Our mission is to SCHAPE the basketball world—but what does that mean and how does it impact you?
The verb "shape" means to mold or to form, as in the way that a potter "shapes" clay into a vase. Dick DeVenzio changed the spelling of "shape" and created an acronym in which each letter stands for an essential aspect of championship performance. Dick's acronym—"SCHAPE"—means not just to form, but to transform—to uplift, change or alter something in order to make it the best it can be.
The essence of SCHAPE is to bring passion, intensity, care and full attention to whatever is in front of you—the task at hand—so that whatever you do, you do it the best that you can. We then apply this "psychology of excellence" to what our athletes and coaches care the most about—striving to achieve excellence in the game of basketball.
At PGC, we attempt to "SCHAPE the basketball world." How? By injecting the six crucial ingredients represented by the acronym into everything that we say and do. We teach players how to SCHAPE their practices, their games, and their off-court environments in ways that make everyone that they're associated with the best they can be.
The full meaning of the acronym is much deeper than what we can cover here, but here is a brief overview of what the six aspects of SCHAPE mean to PGC:
Our passion and enthusiasm. We inspire coaches and athletes to get in touch with what they truly love about the game.
We communicate our values in everything that we say and do. We use a creative vocabulary to make our teaching and communication more memorable and effective.
We consistently look to do more than our share and more than what's expected.
Our actions are always aligned with our purpose. We are always conscious of and consistent in our approach, making sure that our actions are sourced from our values.
We pay attention to the little things in all that we do and maintain an unwavering commitment to excellence.
We continually look for ways to make our curriculum, our staff, and the athletes and coaches that we work with the very best they can be.
The notion of SCHAPE-ing pervades everything that we do at PGC. This is not about a fancy pep talk or another topic for a lecture: The acronym SCHAPE provides the foundation for all of our courses and is the thread that runs through all that we teach and do.
SCHAPE is the essence of Dick DeVenzio's legacy. This legacy is what makes PGC unique—SCHAPE-ing the basketball world is "The PGC Way."

Draft Proposal Would Create Agency To Tax Cars By the Mile
Re:Fuel Tax Works Fine (932 comments)
What is the difference between this and the already-in-place fuel tax? The fuel tax is even better at metering costs to those that chew up roads (heavy vehicles). This sounds like a solution looking for a cause to me.
while the already in place fuel tax is a fair way to tax vehicles, its possible that a per-mile tax could lead to a more progressive tax structure, where heavy users are disproportionately taxed... similar to the federal income tax structure. Not that I'm a big fan of that...

Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan compares the oddities album to a mixtape explaining, "My approach was to look at the album like a mix tape. It was as if I was going to make a mix tape for a friend to say, `Hey, check out this other stuff I did with my band that's not on the albums.' I didn't feel as if it had to work as a great album, but it had to work as a good mix tape."
Last month the Pumpkins released Oceania, their first full album since 2007. The Pisces Iscariot reissue will be available July 16th internationally and July 17th in North America.

China and the Path to Environmental Sustainability (Released August 2007)
Like many developing countries, China has emphasized economic growth over environmental issues. "The gross value of industrial output has nearly tripled over the period 1998-2004" (Poon 14) and growth continues at a prodigious pace. A heavy reliance on coal, one of the dirtiest energy sources but one that China possesses in great abundance, adds to the environmental stress. In addition, China's centralized government and lack of democratic processes has made for a paucity of environmental watchdog groups that might alert policymakers to environmental problems and trigger mitigating action. This situation is beginning to change, as awareness of environmental problems has spread to numerous levels of government and society. (Wang)
In controlling human population, which many environmentalists and other thinkers, dating back to Garret Hardin (and even earlier Thomas Malthus) believe to be one of the keys to sustainability, China's "one-child" policy has largely succeeded. Ironically, China's authoritarian government can simply decree measures that might be considered draconian in democratic states. For example, when India's Indira Gandhi tried to institute strict population control in the 1970s, her party was swept from power in the ensuing elections. Still, China suffers numerous environmental degradations, notable in the highest rate of respiratory diseases in the world (Economy, 102), and in heart and lung diseases. Of course, China is still considered a developing country, and most developing countries struggle with mortality caused by AIDS, malaria, and other infectious, communicable diseases. That China leads the world in chronic diseases of the lungs and heart makes the case for sustainable development all the more compelling.
By 2020, and probably earlier, China is also expected to replace the United States as the number one generator of global warming emissions (Poon 2). Indeed, although estimates vary, a study by Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency shows that China has already become the predominant source of carbon dioxide, the main global warming emission (Netherlands). The 2005 Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI), which ranks countries based on such measures as health, governance, technology, and international cooperation, places China 133rd out of 146 countries. The ESI, is intended to"quantif[y] the likelihood that a country will be able to preserve valuable environmental resources effectively over the period of several decades. Put another way, it evaluates a country's potential to avoid major environmental deterioration." (Esty, 23)
2005 Environmental Sustainability Index Building Blocks - Components
Another measure of environmental impact is the ecological footprint, which estimates the amount of biologically productive land used per capita. One source places the amount of such land at 2.0 hectares per person on planet earth (encylopedia). However numbers vary depending upon the source consulted. For instance, NationMaster.com gives the United States an ecological footprint of 12.22 hectares, with China's at 1.84 hectares as of 2000 (Nationmaster). The Worldwatch Institute, by contrast, estimates China's footprint at 1.6 hectares and the United States' at 9.7 hectares. (Flavin & Gardner, 16) Whichever numbers one accepts, if every human on earth behaved like the average Chinese today, it seems that the environment would be able to sustain itself. Yet the trends are extremely disturbing. According to Asia-Pacific 2005: The Ecological Footprint and Natural Wealth, "since 1961 China has grown faster than any other country in the region, nearly doubling its population and its per person footprint" (World Wildlife 11). With an enormous, and still growing, population, and an economy growing even faster, China's swelling environmental impact is simply not sustainable. Certainly, if China were to come close to the per capita environmental footprint of the most developed countries, the impact on the global environment would be catastrophic.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Glinda!
Facts about Glinda
- Breed: Other/Unknown Mix
- Color: Albino Or Red-Eyed White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Standard
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Glinda's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, a special needs pet, and in need of an experienced adopter.
Still slightly cage anxious due to daily eye drops but learning that barley biscuit follows. Coming along very nicely. Was a late pregnancy spay unfortunately, BES was told by shelter she was a male; had resentment to the spay for a number of months upon intake. Now becoming more trusting and outgoing. Big hay eater, pellet junkie but should moderate. Not big drinker, prefers bowl.
Glinda is now very special needs as she has a shattered tear duct in one eye so it tears all the time and requires eye drops and pain killer for this. She also has a possibly fractured upper incisor although the X-ray was inconclusive. So she is at high risk to develop an abscess at any time. Glinda is now a permanent sanctuary bunny.
Other Pets at Bright Eyes Sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Glinda, a Rockville Other/Unknown was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Other/Unknown for sale in Rockville, or seeking a Other/Unknown from a breeder in Rockville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Rockville 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 Rockville 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 Other/Unknown breeders who help with Other/Unknown rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Rockville paves the way for another one to be saved.

I've decided to answer some frequently asked questions over my next few posts, the first one 'Can I eat Mayo on the paleo diet?'
Yes, yes, yes you can eat mayonnaise on the paleo diet. But there is an out clause here.
Avoid Store Bought Mayo
Most store bought mayo's contain sugar, preservatives, and additional additives that we really don't need. Further to that many of them contain oils that are toxic to our bodies, such as sunflower oil, canola oil, soy bean oil and other vegetable oils. So check the labels very carefully and avoid them if they have any of these ingredients.
Make Homemade Mayo
Making your own homemade mayo is super simple. It takes less than 10 minutes to make, is delicious and why buy it when you can make it right?
A few weeks back, Paul, my resident paleo ex-chef, showed us just how simple it was to make a paleo mayonnaise. My daughter recently took this mayo to university and shared it round with her friends and they all loved it as well. Give it a try, you'll love it!
Hope you'll give it a try
Talk soon
P.S. If you've got a question about paleo, weight loss or cooking with real food, please leave me a comment below and I will answer it in another post. And be sure to join my newsletter on the right up there so you can stay in the loop.
And make sure you share this post with your friends, they'll love this mayo too

We're close to buying a Fireplace Xtrordinair FPX32DVS or Jotul 450 Katahdin gas insert.
On our last visit to a FireplaceX dealer, the crew on hand suggested we look at the larger FPX34DVL. I knew this was a more powerful unit, and I told them I didn't want to be "blasted" out of our 200 sq. ft. living room. They all replied, "Don't worry about that... go for the larger viewing area!" So my question is: How do these inserts perform when running at their lowest setting and cycling on/off? Is it like a gas furnace? Isn't that the exact scenario you want to avoid with these units -- oversized and cycling on/off? Also, I'm leaning towards Fireplace Xtrordinair because of all the great feedback on this forum. I've seen good feedback on Jotul also. But between these two brands in this setting, is one better than the other? Or is it just aesthetics at this point? Thanks, |
Follow-Up Postings:
The reason they are tying to upsell you, is that with Inserts, you want to get the most Fireplace for your opening. (You don't want a surround that's bigger than your actual Fireplace). I don't believe there is actuallly much of a differance as far as heat output between the two on the low setting anyway (a differance of ~2,000 BTu's). Is this room open to others? Is ther an open (upward) staircase? With only 200sqft in a closed off room, with either unit you may find yourself rarely even turning it on. If it is open, IMO, go with the bigger one. Both will perform the same, and yes, like a Furnace (If you are using a Thermostat for it). It will not hurt the units at all nor decrease their efficiency to cycle on/off w/ the T-stat. These have been designed and tested to perform at all settings. In fact, you will find yourself using your Furnace much less. Thus, having the Fireplace paying for itself. I have not seen either of these units run, but from being in the industry for a while, I can tell you I've heard better of the Xtrordinair brand. Just make sure they stand behind their product and offer service. If there is a dealer in your vacinity, another good brand you might want to look into is Heat & Glo. Enjoy. |
Thanks for your response. Based on this, and a couple of additional conversations, I think we'll be going with the 34DVL. Our 200 sq. ft. living room has two doorways: a 6 ft. wide opening to a dining room and adjoining kitchen (~325 sq. ft. total), and a 3 ft. wide opening to a long hallway. The entire single story house is only 1,350 sq. ft. If natural convection manages to work it's way around, then we'll be very happy -- I've seen plenty of reports where people claim to heat entire homes with just one insert. That would be great if it worked out that way... |
