Gone to the Dogs: Where's Kobayashi?
Both the culinary and sports worlds are in shock with the stunning announcement that Takeru Kobayashi, the eating machine from Nagano, Japan, will not participate in this years International Federation of Competitive Eating Nathan's International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest.
You had to stop to catch your breath, didnt you?
Kobayashi, who seized first place in the esteemed contest back in 2001 when he downed 50 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes, doubling the previous record, has been a fixture at the annual July 4 match capturing the top prize six years in a row and winning the coveted Mustard Yellow Belt. Kobayashis winning streak came to an end in 2007, however, after California native Joey Chestnut veered ahead by out-eating the Japanese champ 66 to 63 hotdogs. (Check out recipes for hot dogs)
Frenzied reports from both ESPN and Fox Sports state that Kobayashi withdrew from this years contest after a disagreement over his appearance fee at the dog downing event, scheduled to be broadcast live on ESPN at noon, Sunday (ET). Last years event drew nearly 1.5 million viewers. Kobayashi wasnt happy with the fee he was offered, Chestnut told ESPNs Jay Crawford, but he expects to see the former champion at the contest anyway.
Hes saying hes not gonna go, but what else is he gonna do?, Chestnut asked.
Kobayashi is enigmatically mum on the matter, however, and the last entry on his blog dated June 24 is a review of a book about a penguin named Tacky.
This book is must reading for sny (sic) kid or grown up who refuses to follow the pack, Kobayashi wrote.
Clearly, this is a message from a troubled man, perhaps a little lost after his failure to recapture the Mustard Yellow Belt and searching for a new direction.
Nathans July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest has been held nearly every year since 1916 when the first winner, James Mullen, downed 13 hot dogs in 12 minutes. That historic bout arose after four immigrants decided to challenge one another to see who, among them, was the most American. Last year, Chestnut and Kobayashi tied after wolfing down 59 dogs apiece forcing the contest into overtime. Given a plate with five franks each, Chestnut surged ahead of his archrival by downing all five dogs in 50 seconds, seven seconds ahead of Kobayashi.
Are the sore jaws, indigestion, and gas worth all this? The Yellow Mustard Belt and all America is waiting.

Summer Scarf: Version 2
By: Dana Willard
This second version of the summer scarf shows how to make the scarf without elastic thread. This scarf sewing tutorial from Dana Willard gathers fabric into ruffles in the old-fashioned way.
- 1/2 yard of very light-weight cotton, sear sucker, knit or linen; fabrics that seem to "breathe" and will give your scarf a bounce. (If you use knit, you don't need to do anything to the edges. Just leave them raw. Your project time just got cut in half!)
- Sewing Machine
- Prep the scarf as in the Summer Scarf Version 1.
- Cut a strip of fabric about 50 x 1 1/2 inches (127 x 4 cm). This is the strip that will hold your gathers in place. If you want it to blend-in, use the same fabric. If you want it to stand out, use a contrasting fabric. You could also use ribbon, bias tape, I'm sure you can think of more!
- Iron the sides of your strip over on all sides, so that you have one long strip of fabric, about 1/2 inch (1 cm) wide. It will look sort of like store-bought Bias Tape when you're done.
- Now, start gathering. Do NOT do a stay stitch (a back and forth stitch at the beginning) and set your machine to the longest stitch. Sew a straight line all the way down the middle of the scarf. Just eyeball it. Doesn't need to be perfect.
- When you get to the end, do NOT do a stay stitch and leave the threads long at the end.
- Sew another line about 1/4 or 1/2 inch next to the one before (remember not to Stay Stitch). Do NOT cross your lines (or as Egon says, Don't cross the streams! ) If this happens, the gathering will not work.
Gathering is much easier to do if you've sewn two lines to pull from (rather than only sewing one). Three lines are even better. But two is fine for this project.
- Okay, taking both the threads from the front (or both the threads from the back, but make sure you're grabbing both threads from the same side), start pulling them and pushing the fabric down so that it gathers up.
- Continue this process....shifting, pulling thread, pushing fabric down, etc.
- Do this until the scarf is gathered to your desired length or the length of the strip you just ironed.
- Take that strip and pin it right on top of the gathered threads, so that it hides the thread underneath and holds the gathers in place.
- Pin it all the way down to the other end.
- When you get to the ends, tuck the end of the fabric strip under.
- And pin it in place on the other side.
- Then, sew it in place! Sew down one side.
- Use your fingers to push spread the fabric as you go, so that the gathers are spread evenly.
- Then sew down the other side.
And you're done!

This quotes was so incredulous, I felt it deserved a new thread (didn't see this mentioned in the 5 Haynesworth threads) Titans teammate Robaire Smith said he has had opponents intentionally stick their fingers in his eyes and mouth, among other things, and that fans have no idea what goes on during games. "Every game you play in this league is dirty," the defensive tackle said. "Just so happened [Haynesworth] got caught. Man, there's so much stuff that goes on in the trenches I'm not even going to get started. He didn't do anything any dirtier than what's been going on for years in the trenches." http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-0610030181oct03,1,6528002.story?ctrack=1&cset=true -I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a play-dirty mindset in TEN. Sounds like they are only sorry one of them got caught. His comment is moronic anyway. These other incidents didn't require 25-30 stitches and cause blurry vision (Which I consider to be lucky it wasn't worse... could have killed the guy)
Since he was caught, he should have been suspended, to set an example. But what Smith said is completely true, and you are just naive about the NFL if you think he wasn't speaking the absolute truth. I've heard a player complain that Vrabel grabbed his balls and squeezed as hard as he could so that the player would let go of the football. Brady said that players always do that to him. If you think it is otherwise, you are wrong. Anyone who is caught deserves a fine and a suspension, but let's not kid ourselves that this is anything that never happens in the NFL. Yeah, the foot to the head after the play is ridiculous and over the top, just like when Romanowski hit a teammate. But so is all the stuff that we don't see, and in a perfect world all the players, including Vrabel, that did this kind of stuff would have been suspended. But you would end up suspending every player by week two on all the teams.
Kind of like when Ebenezer Ekuban said, "...there's stuff goes on in the pile you don't go home and tell your mama about," after being punched in the nuts by big Logan Mankins. Agreed, btw, that it's nowhere near a head stomp, but that's the NFL.
The head stomp was over the top, and it's a shame that the game will never be close to 'clean' until every player has a mandatory helmet cam so that the refs can see what they are doing in the pile-up. Even then, players will learn to 'look the other way'.
And if you watch the tape you see Ekuban grinding Mankins' hand into the turf - Logan just got caught saying "howdy" back. Like holding, there are nasty things like 'hands to the face' that probably could be called on most plays.
It's a sport based on aggression and extreme violence, I'm actually surprised that more players don't lose it on the field. There are days where I feel like I could kill somebody and all I do for a living is type on a computer. If I got paid to beat the crap out of someone all day, I might give into those mood swings on the job. lol
Yes but Mankins did that because Ebenezer was grinding his football cleats into Logan's hand at the time, and wanted him to stop it...:rocker:
I agree. What's funny about this whole incident is how many pundits puff up their chests in anger and indignation over Haynesworth's actions, yet turn around and revel in segments like ESPN's Jacked Up and CBS' Hard Hits. It's pretty close to hypocrisy to promote (and market) the hard hitting nature of the game, then turn your back on a player when he crosses the line. And talk about selective enforcement, Trent Green has to be pissed.
Combining a previous thread, about guys wearing cups, yes the ball grab is a common tactic. Generally, lineman wear 'em, the runners and the catchers don't. Some say what AH did was criminal, and in the real world it would be. In general, stuff like that doesn't happen, at least not out in the open. It looked mean and it was. 40 years ago it would have never been noticed. Black players used to get routinely punched in the face. There is a Pulitzer Prize winning photo that did catch it and attests to a particularly heinous event. If said player couldn't continue, he was hauled off and replaced. So, today, what does it mean? He was caught. Simply, that is it. When you, or anyone, gets caught, they are contrite. Until then, they act as if they are the most important thing. Correction, WE act that way. AH did a horrible thing, but he did not do anything that we don't routinely cheer on or personally propagate.
Think about your computer? All day long they you are at it(him/her) tap.tap.tap. poke.poke.poke. And you wonder why,It goes down at that ONE moment when you need it the most?- I do think you have the temperment to be a postal carrier though (kidding)
Refs will never call "the nut grab" because the head ref refuses to give the hand signal for "the nut grab" when he announcing the penalty to the fans in the stadium and to the TV viewers.
LOL Well the ref can always call it unnecessary roughness. It's not called because the only ones that can see it happening are the ones in the trenches.
The bottom line is that we as fans support this type behavior just by funding the NFL. We are all somewhat guilty for these actions. When two Kansas City players got in a fight back in 2002 training camp, and one needed stiches because his face was all busted up and bloody, the only thing Vermeil said to the media was: 'If he was wearing his damn helmet, none of you would be talking about this!' It's like racing. People watch it, and support it, and then cry when somebody gets badly injuried. We have to accept responsibility for creating this type of enviroment, and not just say that such and such player is crazy. We pay them to play crazy. That's what Ray-Ray is all about, doing his crazy dance, fleeing the scene of a double homicide, and making big hits for ESPN. The sad part is that we expect these guys to just disappear into normal society after football and act like model citizens. These guys need some therapy and anger management after a lifetime of football and STEROID ABUSE, but they don't get any provided to them. Until we do something about it, we bear some of the blame when things go wrong. Maybe not in an individual case, like an egregious head stomping, but we are guilty of letting this system stay in place, and letting people like Trent Green get killed in a totally illegal play and looking the other way.
There is a difference between a legal hit (even one that qualifies for a Jacked Up highlight) and stomping on a guy's face with your cleats after the play is blown dead. If you can't see the difference in that, there is no hope for you in this debate. PS - Although I disagree with the Trent Green call (should have be a 15yd penalty and a hefty fine), Green should have slid sooner. He was trying to eek out every last inch he could and besides which, QBs should be able to take a hit... that hit was a fluke, just like how the hit on Bledsoe severed an artery... 999 times out of 1000 that doesn't happen.

Almost Everything You've Heard About the North Korean Space Launch Is Wrong
- |
- 2:55 pm |
- Permalink
Did the North Koreans Catch Everyone Napping?
That's what you'd believe if you read reports like these. It's what you'd think if you learned that key Asian policy members of the Obama Administration were in the middle of a cocktail reception at the Japanese Ambassador's residence in Washington, DC, when the launch occurred. But the fact that the North Koreans were preparing to launch a rocket was of no surprise to anyone. It's only the specifics of the timing that may have caught some a little flat-footed. It's highly unlikely that people at the top levels of the U.S. government and its key allies were surprised.
That's because the launch window was fairly long, between 7 a.m. and noon local Korean time each day from Dec. 10 to Dec. 22. This launch window is driven by the orbit that the satellite needs to be placed into. A satellite orbit is fixed in space relative to the Earth and so you need to wait until the Earth rotates under the desired orbital plane before you can launch. The length of the window each day is based on the desired precision of the final orbit, the performance of the booster, the weight of the payload, and a number of other factors.
There is evidence that North Korea attempted a disinformation campaign that may have played a role in generating surprise. On December 8, U.S. intelligence satellites spotted a train carrying rocket components en route from a missile plant to the launch pad. On December 9, North Korea stated that it had discovered a problem with the rocket and it was delaying the launch and extending the window by nearly a week. The next day, the South Korean government stated that there was "no sign" of an imminent launch and another report stated that the rocket had been removed from the pad. That last statement was provably false at the time – analysis of imagery from commercial remote sensing satellites showed the rocket was still on the pad. However, the same imagery also indicated possible maintenance work on the rocket, leading to an assessment from a former U.S. intelligence analyst that a launch was at least a week out.
To take advantage of this disinformation campaign, it also appears that North Korea timed the launch to correspond to a significant gap in coverage of the launch site by imaging satellites. An analysis done by Marco Langbroek, a Dutch hobbyist satellite observer, shows that the launch occurred at the end of a one-hour gap with no coverage by any known American intelligence, Japanese intelligence, or commercial imaging satellites in LEO. Other portions of the launch window had at most fifteen minutes between satellite overflights. This is backed up by a quote from an unnamed U.S. official, who said they relied too much on overhead satellite imagery for their warnings about the launch.
Despite this, it is doubtful that the disinformation campaign was effective on everyone. As anyone in the imagery analysis field can tell you, LEO imagery satellites have their limitations. They exist in limited numbers, travel in predictable orbits, can only observe what's directly underneath them, and have a revisit time measured in many hours to days. It is relatively simple to either cease activities when they come overhead, or in some cases, to actually create a false situation on the ground for them to capture.
However, these are not the only tools governments like the United States have at their disposal. While satellites in LEO only have limited viewing windows, satellites in other orbits can stare at specific locations for extended periods. Satellites in highly elliptical Earth orbits (HEO), often called Molniya after the Soviet satellites that were the first to widely use them, can hang over a specific part of the Earth for hours at a time as shown in illustration above. Three satellites spaced out in the same orbit can monitor a region continuously, with two in the upper part of the orbit on either side of apogee (red dot number 6) and one in the lower part of the orbit swinging through perigee (red dot number 0).
The U.S. has at least two infrared sensors in HEO orbits as part of the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS). Open source information indicates that they are hosted on two classified satellites, USA 184 and USA 200. The same satellites are also believed to carry a signals intelligence payload that can collect electromagnetic emissions. Observations from amateur satellite observers indicate that their orbits "hang" over Asia, indicating that they likely could have been used to monitor the launch site and observe the launch. An image seen below and right, released by the U.S. military, is of one of the SBIRS payloads in HEO tracking a missile launch.
In addition to the SBIRS payloads in HEO, the U.S. has a number of satellites in geostationary Earth orbit (GEO), orbiting 36,00 kilometers (about 22,000 miles) above the Equator that likely provided critical data on the North Korean launch. These satellites orbit around the Earth at the same rate the Earth rotates, giving the impression that they are "fixed" relative to a particular spot on the Earth. In the case of the North Korean launch, the U.S. satellites in GEO collection signals intelligence and electronic intelligence could have monitored the launch site for preparations and the infrared warning satellites would have detected the launch.
The important issue in the case of North Korea is that very few people have access to the information from these satellites. They are considered critical to U.S. national security and their very existence is highly classified, along with any intelligence products created from the data they collect. Additionally, they are often stovepiped into different sets of indicators with little integration between different sources, leading to the possibility of conflicting conclusions.These factors likely worked in the North Koreans' favor. Very few within the U.S. government, and no one outside the U.S. government with the possible exception of close allies, would have had access to the intelligence from these satellites. Most governments would have to rely on either declassified or sanitized intelligence or their own intelligence sources, and outside observers had to rely on the handful of commercial imaging satellites for information. It is this last group, along with lower-level government officials, that fell victim to the North Korean disinformation campaign, and the reliance on the media for quotes and information from these sources created the impression that the North Koreans had fooled everyone.
Within the U.S. government, top national security officials likely had access to data sources that were unaffected by North Korean disinformation. However, it is possible that different intelligence sources could have been driven conflicting conclusions, leading to disagreement over what the reality was. This may have played a role in catching some within the U.S. government off guard.

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Brazilian bloggers reignite the debate and campaign to end violence.
Following a series of special blog-posts on Global Voices Online to raise awareness and voices around the cause, we'll see in this post some Brazilian bloggers' opinions about women's rights.
Little Lulu
Renowned Brazilian blogger Lúcia Freitas gives her contribution by posting a call for bloggers to support a campaign against violence in the LuluzinhaCamp, a collective of women bloggers inspired on the Little Lulu comics:
General call! From November 25th through December 10th we invite you to join us in the struggle to put an end to the violence against women. We're going to write blog posts, tweet, take photos and remind that women are human beings and deserve respect – by the way, everyone does…

Srta. Bia hears the call and adds her voice to the LuluzinhaCamp campaign, saying:
A women is assaulted every 15 seconds in Brazil. Most of the times, the aggressor is her partner, a relative or a close person. Since they're little, girls suffer from violence and discrimination against them. Organizations advocating women's rights fight to eliminate the gaps and anachronisms of the law, but the changes need to reverberate in the society, in the way women are seen.
She carries on:
Freedom is what the Mirabal Sisters fought for; freedom is what we fight for everyday. Freedom to be the woman I want to be, a politicized woman or not, a woman who was children or not, a woman who aborts or not, a woman who shaves herself or not, a woman who has sex with whoever she wants or not, but above all things, a woman who should be respected and who cannot suffer any type of violence in any way, be it physical or psychological, just because they are women. Nothing justifies violence against anyone.

A hot topic
The violence against woman debate is a hot topic in Brazil. Just recently, a series of events involving a student from Bandeirantes University in the state of São Paulo triggered many blog posts on the society's prejudice against the feminine body. On the occasion, tourism student Geisy Arruda wore a short pink dress to go to a regular classroom. Her story, however, touches on more than a 20-year-old woman's choice at clothing: she ended up catching the attention of many students, who considered the dress offensive. Hundreds of them started ridiculing and cursing the girl, as well as threatening to assault her that day.
Too provocative
Geisy Arruda was eventually expelled from the University under the argument that her "provocative" behaviour was not compatible with the school's rules, but after the international mass media found the case profitable and Geisy became a celebrity on TV and on the Internet, the university admitted her back as student. So far, the heckling students have not been punished. Denise Arcoverde in Síndrome de Estocolmo [Stockholm Syndrome, pt] mentioned the case in her blog. In one particular occasion, she wrote:
In this video, the scene of the girl being escorted by the police. I was so shocked with this story that I had palpitations of anger. I've seen a lot of sexism, idiocy, but nothing like this violence. It was an emotional rape that cannot go unpunished.
As we discussed on Twitter, Bandeirantes University is not guilty of the mean-spirited attitude of their students, but it is responsible for not having controlled the situation and for allowing the girl to be humiliated when she left escorted by the police. If she was my daughter I would sue the university and ask millions in compensation for damages.

The idea of femininity
The Corpos em Revolta blog [Bodies in Revolt, pt] depicts the different types of violence suffered by women and asks the readers to take part in this struggle:
While believing the idea of femininity and the ideal of beauty are socially built concepts and tools of control, the Anti-Sexist Collective Bodies in Revolt shows its repudiation on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women to all forms of misogyny, chauvinism, sexism, homophobia, and racism that victimize and detract women.
And they add information about a demonstration scheduled to take place on November 29 to celebrate their struggle:
We do not believe in femininity standards nor do we accept aesthetic standards! We're in favor of diversity of bodies and personalities, of the subversion of sexist values that control our relationships! We propose a society where there are no distinction of gender, color, ethnicity, sexuality or any other form of inequality backed by the market society!
To mark that date, Bodies in Revolt will stage a symbolic act in Redenção Park this Sunday, November 29, at 3pm. Bring your revolt and take part in it!
They remain silent
Finally, we read the following message on the Instituto Humanitas Unisinos blog:
Women have been suffering violence from the men around them (partners, fathers, brothers, sons) for a few centuries and on a daily basis, they remain many times silent and feeling guilty for what happens, or many times they don't realize this is violence, and in particular against them, because they are women. Just recently, in the last years, social and individual aggression against us has been named and fought; with the advance of the feminist, social and women movements, there has been far more recognition of it as an specific way to deprive someone of their rights to exercise citizenship.

I studied Tourism but I'm finding my way in Journalism, Citizen Media and blogging. I consider myself an apprentice blogger and newcomer writer. My goal for life is to tell inspirational stories and to encourage people into fighting for their rights and for a better world.

2002 on a 52 plate ?
What are the difference if any and extras etc? From which years?
I'm new to Fords and ain't got a clue they look all the same to me?
December 29, 2011, 12:10 am
your focus is a mk1 facelift so that makes it a mk1.5 98-01 was the mk1, 01-04 was the mk1.5
one of the differences was the front bumper/headlights
December 29, 2011, 3:45 pm
I think my indicators are in the headlights?
Also previous owner installed a pair of ST fog lights apperanlty. They are rounded in a silver casing unlike others I've seen
With my last car It was a Corsa C it was 01-03 preface and facelift there after!

what mk is mine? 2006 model, irish plate so no numbers, registered in january.
i believe its a mk 2 as the 2.5 facelift has a different boot etc?
your focus will be a mk2 as you say, yours is the first of the 'new' shape
December 29, 2011, 4:52 pm
cool. out of curiosity, would it be possible to fit a 2.5 boot to a mk2? they look much nicer!
December 30, 2011, 8:58 am
I *think* they cannot be interchanged, I believe that they made a few minor tweaks to the size / shape of the boot, as well as some improvement on the seals (if im not mistaken). However, being only a "facelift" and not a completely new MK boot structure, you *may* be able to get it fit...
You would really need to analyze your bootlid / measurements with that of a MK 2.5, width's, depth's, catch location measurements from the outside, hinge size and location, and also depth of the the outside panel to the inside plastics of the boot.
Alternatively, pop down to your local scrappy, and (as unlikely as it may be) see if you can find a MK2 and MK2.5 and ask if they dont mind you swapping the boots between them? that way you dont damage your car and you get to see how well it does or doesnt go!

Black Cleaver is broken
This game is so broken right now it's unbelievable. Why does Pantheon and Garen's E abilities trigger this? It gives too much armor pen and shred and too much attack damage, someone can build just these and own an entire team. I know it's being nerfed but it's not enough.
It's BS really, I've lost nearly every game since the patch because Garen and Pantheon players are building nearly just these. Even one is too strong. |
The point of Black Cleaver's rework was to make an AD caster item, which they sorely needed.
Riot also managed to make a bunch of other changes at once, and I'm willing to bet you're still reeling from the number of changes, seeing how the average community member will take between a week to 6 months to start bending to changes instead of complaining about them. It's true Cleaver should have been Unique on the ArPen passives, but I'm still going to say learn to play. |
It needs a unique passive. Should have never been released as it was. For shame, Riot. For shame.
Make CDR and ArPen unique, problem solved...
I don't see why people are complaining about the passive not being unique, it still will only put up to 4 stacks on an enemy player from what I can see but will simply build those stacks faster with a second black cleaver. You would be better off with a last whisper as a second item
But yes, just adding Last Whisper would be a far better item choice. Shred 30% of their Armor, then ignore 40% of what's left, then however much flat pen you have. |
Its stupid, OP as hell, need unique at least on the Armor pen. Its stupid that you can get 40% armor pen in 2 hits.
The funny part is the black cleaver is the icon for the Item Discussion forums.

Robin Hood is a beautiful thing. Robin Hood films are almost always a comforting soul-blanket. There is one Robin Hood film, The Bandit of Sherwood Forest, that is actually about the son or Robin, "Robert" (a film which does not mention, not once, Maid Marion). Robert is played by Cornel Wilde, who I hope took his moustache onto greater, less horrible projects. This Hood film is horrible. It goes a little something, like this:
It is a film that was made far better by the application of that wise maxim, "I reject your reality and substitute my own". Like so. See if you can guess where the film-canon stops, and my brain begins!!!

Rihanna has just released her track featuring her ex-boyfriend and it's clear they're in love and back together! Listen to the lyrics and tell us what you think!
Rihanna and Chris Brown want you to know: it's none of your beeswax. The singers collaborated on one of Rihanna's new songs on her Unapologetic album and it's pretty awesome.
"You'll always be mine, sing it to the world/Always be my boy, i'll always be your girl/Nobody's business, ain't nobody's business/Ain't nobody's business, but mine, and my baby/Mine, and my baby, but mine, and my baby/But mine, and my baby, oooh/I love I love I love you baby/I love I love I love you baby."
Do you think this is Rihanna's way of telling the world that she loves Chris and for everyone to butt out? I think so!

Would you sacrifice your life for the enemy? Read more
Would you sacrifice your life for the enemy?
About this project
That was the predicament in which two marines found themselves one fateful night in Khe Sanh.
On January 20th, 1968 at the height of hostilities during the Vietnam War, a North Vietnamese officer walked onto the Marine base at Khe Sanh, Vietnam and surrendered. Angry at being passed over for a promotion, the now prisoner confided to Army intelligence the nature of enemy strength just outside their lines. Rather than the small force that US intel thought to be skirting the hills surrounding their base, the North Vietnamese Army had amassed multiple divisions and enough ammunition to continuously bombard this small outpost, day in, day out, around the clock for six months. And when was this major offensive being launched? That very night.
This is the beginning of the Siege of Khe Sanh.
GUARDING CHARLIE is the tale of the two Marines who stood watch over this valuable prisoner from the barrage of forces both within and without of Khe Sanh until he could be flown out the next morning.
For seventy-seven days, the North Vietnamese hammered the Khe Sanh combat base with continuous ground, artillery, mortar and rocket fire. Even Operation Niagara, a huge aerial bombardment campaign by the Americans did little to help the besieged Marines. None the less, the forces at Khe Sanh held strong. Eventually a combination of US and South Vietnamese troops were able to break through the North Vietnamese line and relieve the battered Marines.
I salute my friend, Sergeant Major Franklin Dennis Jones (Ret.), on whose story this is based and who now suffers long-term effects from Agent Orange, and of all those who have in the past and those who today continue to serve; this story honors you all.
Risks and challenges
There are a number of challenges that arise in making this film.
RISK ONE: We blow something up that wasn't supposed to be destroyed during our filming of the bombardment of Khe Sanh.
SOLUTION: We have one of the best Special Effects guys in the business: David Watkins (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0914247/) and lots of insurance.
RISK TWO: We may shoot the film, but it may not be precisely what we need. This is critical for a short film with only a few days of production.
SOLUTION: In addition to some of the top industry professionals, we have Susan Malerstein (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0539381/) who Oliver Stone and Frank Darabont call the best Script Supervisor in the business to help make sure we have all the shots we need for a superior film.
RISK THREE: This is an ambitious short film and there is a chance the film will go over budget.
SOLUTION: We have three top notch producers working for FREE (as is the rest of the crew) to make this a fantastic, completed short film. In addition, we have an incredibly capable profession crew to help ensure that a high quality product is delivered on schedule and on budget.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

7 Tips for Taking a Better Picture on Your Next Cruise
Tips & Advice
> 7 Tips for Taking a Better Picture on Your Next Cruise
In third grade, the "Shipshooter" became obsessed with drawing clipper ships on his school notebook. Eight hundred fifty New York Times photo gigs and one bone-crunching run-in with an industrial camera-kite later, he's one of the most sought-after ship snappers in the industry.
Jonathan Atkin
started shooting cruise ships professionally in the 1980's -- long before the days of at-sea carousels, 300-foot-long waterslides and your choice of steakhouse, Asian fusion venue or French bistro. He photographed by boat, helicopter and, yes, military kite (more on that later). A reverence for the crew and ships -- i.e. the Seafaring Life -- is what made him one of a handful of go-to photogs for the new ships/inaugural trips beat. (Check out his work
.) "[Cruising] is a brilliant and powerful experience, and I'm passionate about showing that," explains Atkin, who's been at sea since age 19 when he landed a job on a transatlantic bulk carrier.
So what can the Shipshooter teach us point-and-pop amateurs?
Tell a story.
Remember to consider that this is
cruise. Rather than taking the shot that everyone's fighting over, like the gaggle of tourists jockeying for space in front of the Venus de Milo, opt for photos that reflect your experience. Shoot the cabin steward delivering your early-morning coffee or focus on the bowl of fruit or champagne with glasses that you get as a past passenger. "That's a nice moment," says Atkin, and it's something that will make the retelling more exciting.
Don't let space confine you.
Cruise ships are compartmental, which can make getting everything into an interior shot -- think cabins -- frustrating. "Cruise cabins have three sets of doors -- hallways, balcony, bathroom." The answer? Move.
Get outside of the cabin, get into the corner, put your camera up toward the ceiling [for more of a diagonal look]," says Atkin. "Think actively about ways to un-confine yourself from the physical space." More generally to the issue of space, "if all your photos telegraph your body height from the deck to your eyeballs," says Atkin, "then you've ignored all the space between your toes and your head!" In other words, your altitude alone can add spice to your photos. "Cruise ships are filled with varying levels, indoors and out. Go down to deck level or stand up on a stair to shoot."
Pick the time to shoot.
"The best light, particularly in the Caribbean, is early morning and late afternoon, i.e. the 'magic hour' just before sunrise or sunset," says Atkin. "Good pictures still, no matter what digital whiz-bangs we have, depend on exciting light."
Think like an artiste.
Like faces, all ships have a more photogenic side, says Atkin. But there's no hard and fast rule to finding that "sweet spot." Feel around, rely on your own instincts. "Look at a ship as an organism, poetry in steel," he says. For Atkin, when you treat the subject with awe, that feeling is transmitted, almost by osmosis, into the shots.
Prove to people you're on a cruise ship.
An onboard lounge may make for a pretty picture, but doing something as simple as including a few unique-to-cruise elements in the mix will add depth to the collection. Atkin likes framing cruise-related shots with things like muster station or "no tugs" signage, or taking a ship/sea shot with the "seven laps equals a mile" posting.
It takes a lot.
"Photography is about capturing a quintessential moment -- an image that stands on its own -- that's why pros shoot so many images," says Atkin. It takes hundreds if not thousands of shots to get just one good one. If you have a good flash card -- and a point-and-shoot with a low lag-time between the click of the button and the snap of the shutter -- you can get into a bit of rapid fire photography. Conversely, you can also spend the time it would take to shoot 20 pictures to look for that one moment. "Be ruthless … and specific," says Atkin.
Steady does it.
Taking a clear photo is often a practice in stoicism. "Always avoid holding the camera away from your face," says Atkin (note the serious violation being committed by the above pictured photographer). "You simply cannot hold a camera steady that way." You can use nature's tripod -- your nose -- or opt for a third party if you have a twitchy beak.
There are several low-cost devices on the market that screw into point-and-shoot cameras. Another photo guru, former Washington Post lens man Joe Elbert, looked gleeful when demo-ing a twistable mini-tripod, the
, to a group of Cruise Critic editors.
Attach a camera to an industrial kite to get some cool fly-overs.
Or don't. Atkin explains: "I always tried to find a different way of shooting ships. I had an assignment on
's [now-retired] Queen Elizabeth 2, so I practiced for two months with an industrial military-style kite on which I suspended a camera. So I took it on QE2 [with approval from legendary Cunard master, Captain Wright] and launched it from the heli-pad. I took a bunch of overheads from 400 feet up, then reeled it in so I could launch it from a different perspective. Anyway, I got it up again ... when the wind stiffened unexpectedly ... and all of a sudden a 30-knot gust took the device out of control. Soon the braking mechanism began to smoke and fire was pouring forth. In the process of frantically trying to stop it, I fractured my wrist. The rogue kite couldn't be stopped, so we had to cut the line. They set my wrist in sick bay, and later that night, a formal evening, a steward came to my room to tie on my bow-tie ('No clip-ons, sir. This is Cunard.') The pictures weren't the greatest, but 'because of what I went through' -- on Friday the 13th while cruising the Bermuda triangle, no less -- the Times ran the kite shots."

Hersheys Wants You to Eat Its New Chocolate Spreads with Pickles
Given the popularity of chocolate spreads like Nutella, it's no surprise that Hershey's is getting in on the fun. The beloved chocolate brand is rolling out three new chocolate spreads in regular chocolate, chocolate almond, and chocolate hazelnut flavors. The jars are now available nationwide and retail for $3.79. Hershey's suggests pairing the chocolaty condiment with strawberries, bananas, and graham crackers, but apparently the spreads also go well with carrots, celery, and pickles (celery, okay, but we're a bit skeptical about those carrot and pickle suggestions).
We got a chance to sample Hershey's latest products here at Delish and our favorite is the chocolate almond, which pretty much tastes exactly as you would want it too — like chocolate-infused almond butter! We don't think we'll be trying our spreads with pickles anytime soon, but we're open to their other suggestions!
Will you be trying Hershey's Chocolate Spreads? What about with pickles?

Curriculum: Major
- The major in Religion is designed to help students to develop a coherent set of academic skills and expertise in the study of religion, while at the same time encouraging interdisciplinary work in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Each major is expected to fashion a coherent major program focused around work in one of three designated areas of concentration:
- Religious Traditions in Cultural Context. The study of religious traditions and the textual, historical, sociological and cultural contexts in which they develop. Critical analysis of formative texts and issues that advance our notions of religious identities, origins, and ideas.
- Religion, Literature, and Representation. The study of religion in relation to literary expressions and other forms of representation, such as performance, music, film, and the plastic arts.
- Religion, Ethics, and Society. The exploration of larger social issues such as race, gender, and identity as they relate to religion and religious traditions. Examines how moral principles, cultural values, and ethical conduct help to shape human societies.
These six courses within the area of concentration must include the department seminar in the major's area of concentration: Religion 301 for Area A; Religion 303 for Area B; Religion 305 for Area C. Where appropriate and relevant to the major's program, up to three courses for the major may be drawn from outside the field of religion, subject to departmental approval.
- Junior Colloquium: An informal required gathering of the Junior majors once each semester. Students should complete a worksheet in advance in consultation with their major advisor and bring copies of the completed worksheet to the meeting.
- Senior Seminar and Thesis, Religion 399b.
- At least four additional half-year courses drawn from outside the major's area of concentration.
- At least six of each major's 11 courses must be taken in the Haverford religion department. Students planning to study abroad should construct their programs in advance with the department. Students seeking religion credit for abroad courses should write a formal petition to the department upon their return and submit all relevant course materials. Petitioned courses should be included within the student's designated area of concentration.
- In some rare cases, students may petition the department for exceptions to the major requirements. Such petitions must be presented to the department for approval in advance.
- Final evaluation of the major program will consist of written work, including a thesis, and an oral examination completed in the context of the Senior Seminar, Religion 399b.
View the Areas of Concentration
Advising for the major takes place in individual meetings between majors and faculty advisors and in a departmental colloquium held once each semester. At this colloquium, majors will present their proposed programs of study with particular attention to their work in the area of concentration. All majors should fill out and bring the Religion Major Worksheet to the colloquium.

Little Caesars Application Online – Apply for a Job at Little Caesars
Download Little Caesars Application form ( PDF )
Apply for Jobs at Little Caesars online
How to Apply Online With Little Caesars
Little Caesars is currently the third-largest pizza chain in the United States and the fastest growing pizza chain in the world. The chain opened its first location in the Detroit suburb of Garden City, Michigan in 1959. This initial location became very popular, encouraging the husband and wife ownership team of Michael and Marian Illitch to open more stores in the region. The original store in Garden City is still operating today, and the Illitch family continues to run the company's operations. Although Little Caesars experienced some difficulties in the 1990s, the company has rebounded successfully thanks largely to the introduction of the popular Hot-N-Ready pizza deal. Currently there are over 2,400 Little Caesars locations throughout the world, with many more on the way.
Since Little Caesars is growing at such a quick rate, the company is constantly searching for talented employees to join its team in store locations everywhere. Whether you are searching for a full or part-time work opportunity, Little Caesars has positions of employment which will suit your schedule and your skills. If you are interested in working for the company, you will need to complete the Little Caesars application for employment. The application takes less than an hour to complete, and the company offers a couple of convenient ways for you to apply.
To make the best possible impression, it is recommended that you complete the Little Caesars application in person. Simply visit the location nearest you and ask for an application from one of the friendly employees behind the counter. If possible, you should also try to speak with a member of the store's management team. By speaking with management, you can learn about the available opportunities while making a good impression on your prospective future boss.
Once you have the application in hand, you can stay at the store to submit it in person, or you can take the document home to complete at your leisure. For the best results, you should remain at the store so that your application can be reviewed more quickly by management. However, if you feel more comfortable and confident working on the application at home, you should do so. Once you submit the application, you should follow up with a visit or a phone call if you have not heard from a store representative within a week to ten days.
You may be unable to visit a Little Caesars store location in order to complete the application. If this is the case, you can easily complete the Little Caesars application online from home or wherever you access the internet. To apply in this fashion, simply visit the official company website and click on the link for Jobs. You will be taken to a page on which you can search for work opportunities. Select any and all employment opportunities which interest you. If you like what you see from the job description, you can click the appropriate link to apply for the position. Once you have submitted the application, you can expect to hear from a company representative within two weeks.
Minimum Age to Work at Little Caesars : 16 years old
Little Caesars Hours of Operation : Sun-Thurs: 10:30am-10:00pm; Fri-Sat: 10:30am-11:00pm
Job Positions & Income Information
Each Little Caesars location is staffed by a team of dedicated employees who must work together to ensure successful operations. Some of the workers at each store are entry-level employees who are new to the workforce, while other workers are professionals who have a great deal of experience within the food industry. Each employee is important to the company which is why Little Caesars hires the most enthusiastic and passionate candidates from the pool of potential workers.
Most Little Caesars stores feature employees working in three basic categories. The majority of the company's workers at the store level are hired as Team Members. If you work as a Team Member, you will be responsible for greeting customers, assisting customers with the ordering and checkout processes, preparing food products, cleaning and adhering to all safety guidelines. If you are hired to work as a Team Member after impressing management with your Little Caesars application and interview, you can expect to earn a starting rate of pay near the minimum wage.
Shift Leaders are in the second category of work at Little Caesars stores. These workers often start as Team Members, and they are well-versed in the majority of store operations. Shift Leaders are responsible for motivating Team Members, providing fantastic customer service and ensuring smooth operations during their specific shifts. In most cases, Shift Leaders earn approximately $9.00 to $10.00 per hour to start.
Managers make up the third category of employment at Little Caesars. These professional employees are the people in charge of each store location, and they are responsible for most aspects of work at the store-level. Typically, managers are charged with hiring and firing Team Members, determining rates of pay, scheduling employees, monitoring sales figures and ensuring the satisfaction of customers. Some stores staff assistant managers as well as head store managers, and these workers can earn a starting salary between $35,000 and $45,000 per year depending upon job title, location and experience.
In addition to the three main categories of employment mentioned above, some Little Caesars locations use delivery drivers. Each delivery driver must own an insured vehicle, and he or she must be able to deliver delicious food to customers safely and quickly. These employees earn the minimum wage to start, but most of the money made by delivery drivers comes from customer tips.
Company Benefits
In addition to an outstanding and dynamic working environment, Little Caesars employees can also enjoy some other wonderful benefits. These include paid training, competitive compensation and numerous opportunities for advancement within the company. Food discounts are also available for qualifying employees. If you are hired by Little Caesars and you remain with the company in a long-term capacity, you can also become eligible for benefits such as health insurance, retirement planning, paid vacation time and more.
About Little Caesars Company
If you are chosen by management to be brought in for an interview after completing your Little Caesars application, you will need to prepare for the interview by absorbing some key information about the company. You should know that the company is based in Detroit, Michigan, and it was founded in 1959. It might also be helpful to know that the company is currently the third-largest pizza chain in the United States. If you can demonstrate this knowledge during your interview, you will make a positive and lasting impression.

text: Last week Ducks Unlimited testified in favor of H.R. 3117, the Permanent Electronic Duck Stamp Act of 2011, before the U.S. House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee. DU says the bill would make the stamp more accessible by providing for its online purchase. Instead of having to run to the post office, hunters would simply purchase a stamp online, print a special receipt and carry the receipt while hunting until the actual stamp arrives by mail. DU also voiced its continued support for raising the cost of the stamp from $15 to $25. I have mixed emotions about raising the price of duck stamps, but I absolutely support selling them online. Not all post offices supply duck stamps, and I've encountered several that were sold out. Thankfully it's never cost me a day of hunting. What do you guys think about online duck stamps? Do you think it would prove a convenience or perhaps threaten tradition? More on this topic: Should subsistence duck hunters be required to purchase duck stamps? These Native Alaskans say no way.

Trestman Making The Bears Pick Locker Room Assignments At Random To Promote More Team Unity
Source - The Bears have a new coaching staff and several new players. But that's not the only reason that introductions will be necessary this week when the team begins its voluntary offseason program. In an effort directed by first-year head coach Marc Trestman to build team unity, players' lockers have been randomly moved around, mixing members of the offense with their counterparts on defense. Previously, lockers were arranged by position group.
"The locker room was set up in a way that segments were together," Trestman said. "We've all been in places like that. I just see our segments being together in meetings all the time and I want the guys to have an opportunity to get to know their teammates a little bit better. So it was basically just throw them all in a hat and pull them out and see what showed up."
Look Marc Trestman looks like a great coach. Definitely the right guy to bring in and innovate and revitalize the offensive side of the ball. And I don't know anyone who is against creating more team chemistry wherever possible. But this shit feels like Summer Camp. Jay have you met James Anderson yet? No? Well that's no problem, you guys are locker buddies now. Martellus have you met Lance Briggs? No worries now he's your best friend and you'll be bunking together. The whole thing seems too forced. The guys that make up an NFL locker room are grown men. If they get along, which most of them will no account of being a team, great. If some don't, oh well. You don't need to hold Ice Breakers like it's the first day of school. Not to mention the old way of grouping players by position makes sense. Those are your most direct professional colleagues. Cutler and Josh McCown should be sitting next to or near each other. They share the same craft. Just like James Anderson and Briggs should sit near each other so they can have easy access to one another. There's just no need to go out of your way and force relationships that wouldn't spring up organically.
Of course this is probably just an over-reaction and means nothing but if they start busting out name tags and singing Kumbaya and shit it might be time to worry.

Engraved or incised work on gemstones, glass, ceramics, stone, or similar material in which the design is sunk beneath the surface, the opposite of cameo and relief. It is the most ancient form of gem engraving; the earliest known Babylonian cylinder seals date from circa 4000 BC. The term intaglio is also used to describe printmaking processes in which the design is cut, scratched, or etched into a printing surface of copper, zinc, or aluminum; ink is then rubbed into the incisions or grooves, the surface is wiped clean, and the paper is embossed into the incised lines with pressure from a roller press. Intaglio processes are the most versatile of printmaking methods, as they can produce a wide range of effects.

I have been working at Cable & Wireless Worldwide
ProsGreat pioneering history. Good flexible benefits package. Great international infrastructure that continues to expand and develop. Capable of delivering the basics well.
ConsMultiple systems. Complex and confusing processes. No clear understanding of who does what. Too many possible points of failure in each chain. Communications from management not always informed or realistic. Different areas pulling in different directions due to a lack of overall vision, mid or long term strategy to rally behind. There is little trust within the organisation and many cliques that are more interested in securing their position rather that in the overall benefit of the business. Senior managers should look further down the ranks if they want honesty. Could be great.
Advice to ManagementAdviceA true 360 performance evaluation may help you to understand where the weaknesses in middle management are. You will lose some of your best people when streamlining your business if you don't understand how effective your managers are at choosing what is good for the business over and above what is good for themselves.
