Is 2014 your breakout year? It could be, if you take a chance and enter Hard Rock Rising, a global battle of the bands that puts you up against some fierce competition for the ultimate prize of worldwide exposure and a performance for an audience of 40,000 in Rome, Italy. There's nothing holding you back, because Hard Rock Rising is FREE to enter for anyone with a ReverbNation profile – no RPK required!
Now that you've picked your jaw up off the floor, yes, your band could have the chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Rome to play for 40,000 fans on the mainstage in Piazza del Popolo! ReverbNation and Hard Rock want to find the next rising music star and we'd like to make it as easy as possible for you and your band to show us your stuff. Even if you aren't crowned the winner, two runners-up win $10,000 (or the equivalent) in band gear, and winners at the local cafe competitions can win tons of other great prizes, not to mention free publicity for your music. If you're good enough to conquer Hard Rock Rising 2014, your chariot awaits. But before you start packing your suitcase and dreaming of all the delicious pizza and pasta you'd like to devour in Italy, here's the lowdown on how the competition works.
Hard Rock Rising 2014 is THE Global Battle of the Bands, taking place online and in 82 participating Hard Rock Café locations around the world. Hard Rock taps into the talent of ReverbNation artists to find the best of the best. Artists who reside within one of the 40 qualifying countries who want to participate can submit their music between Jan. 6 – Jan. 27. The process is simple and you'll be entered before you can say "Ciao!" Bands must compete in a cafe that is no more than 100 miles away from the hometown listed on their ReverbNation page. If you live in a qualifying country with no Hard Rock Cafe nearby, never fear! You can still enter in the "Virtual Café."
Between Feb. 3 – Feb. 17, music fans will vote on your music to help the best bands rise to the top. Fans "Vote" for an artist by downloading their song in the Hard Rock Rising app on any participating Hard Rock Café's Facebook Page, including the "Virtual Café" page. Fans may download a song from a single artist more than once, but it will only count as one vote. During this period, fans can vote for as many artists as they'd like!
The competition heats up over the next eight weeks, as the local battles begin! Top-voted bands, plus the Wild Card band, will compete live at various Hard Rock Café locations between Feb. 24 – Apr. 21. If you're hanging out in the Virtual Café, you'll be playing for a panel of judges rather than a live audience. During the live battle, bands will perform for fans and judges, who will choose a winner to move on to the global competition and represent their city as the Local Finalist, competing for the Grand Prize. The local finalist in each market will win $250 cash, a $250 Hard Rock Café Gift Certificate and move on to the global vote round; one step closer to rocking out in Rome.
All is fair in love of music and this war of bands, and all finalists will battle it out online during the final voting phase, which will take place from Apr. 28 – May 7. During this final phase, fans can only vote for one artist, but are still free to download music from all the bands. The top 25 bands will be determined through online judging, and a panel of the best badasses in the music industry will choose the grand prize winner and two runners-up. The winners will be announced May 12! At that point, it's safe for the grand prize winner to start brushing up on their Italian, and for the runners-up to start making their wish lists of new equipment.

CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
CSIRO's precision agriculture research aims to understand and manage landscape variability.
The National Invertebrate Pest Initiative brings together Australian scientists to improve pest management in Australian grain crops.
The National Invertebrate Pest Initiative (NIPI) brings together scientists from state government departments, universities, farmer groups and CSIRO to address pest management issues in the Australian grains industry.
It is supported by growers and the Australian Federal Government through the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).
Invertebrate pests cost Australian agriculture around A$500 million in lost production each year.
A national coordinated, collaborative approach is necessary to increase understanding of invertebrates and develop more effective and sustainable ways of managing them in Australia's grain crops.
Through NIPI the grains industry will receive clear and consistent messages about effective invertebrate pest management.
NIPI participants have identified seven key areas for research and extension:
NIPI coordinator Dr Nancy Schellhorn, CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences, says capacity building is especially urgent because of the decline in the number of researchers and postgraduate students focused on pest issues in grains.
NIPI is starting to address the decrease in entomology students coming through the University system by providing funding for a number of post-graduate entomology students.
An important initiative already in place is a free email information service alerting growers and farm advisers across southern Australia to invertebrate pest issues and solutions.
This service, PestFAX/PestFacts, is delivered by:
"Capacity building is especially urgent because of the decline in the number of researchers and postgraduate students focused on pest issues in grains."
Dr Nancy Schellhorn
It is already reaching more than 2000 subscribers across:
Research projects are underway in New South Wales and Victoria.
Also across the southern region, NIPI funds invertebrate pest identification workshops to provide advisors and growers with the key building blocks for implementing integrated pest management (IPM).
Growers are finding this a good way to find out about the pests they are dealing with when making pest management decisions.
NIPI participants include:

POSTED: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 - 7:30pm
UPDATED: Thursday, October 17, 2013 - 10:32am
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — The Chili's on Constitution Avenue is back open - one day after it closed voluntarily to do some interior "work".
After a sanitary issue was discovered, the restaurant closed last night to "determine what, if any, problem there might be."

LG announces the LG Optimus LTE2
May 4, 2012
By Nigel Chew
By Nigel Chew
04 May 2012 – Something other than Samsung Galaxy S III came out today out of Korea, and it is from none other than Samsung's rival.
By way of LG, the Optimus LTE2 is the company's latest weapon in the smartphone war, sporting a crazy 2GB RAM, which has yet to be seen in any devices thus far. Also, the LTE2 will come equipped with a True HD IPS display, WPC-backed wireless charging capabilities, Android 4.0 and 2150 mAh battery. No mention of the CPU was made, but chances are it will be a quad-core monster to complement the amount of RAM.
Availability so far has been announced for Korea sometime this month, with no news of overseas releases being mentioned.

I wanted to make a comment on what an apron does for me and speaks to me. This may bore some of you off your rockers, but it was tugging at my heart strings.
An apron makes me feel like I am dressed to prepare a meal for those I love. To do a job that is much needed and required. I want to fulfill my calling as a women, wife, and mother. And for some reason it makes me feel like it is a small thing. But it gives myself and my family a happy feeling, knowing that when they see Mom or Grandma with her apron on, something must be cooking.
I love to wear my aprons, and I have many ones to choose from. I like to even sew them in many
different colors and patterns. I believe it has been a ministry to make them and give them away, to encourage women to be keepers of their homes.
Now, my aprons are not all balled up in a pile, but rather I love to wash and iron them. I keep them
in a drawer in my kitchen. And I have them ready to pick a new one every couple of days.
I have a sweet little hanger hook shaped like a tea pot that I hang my apron on that I am using,
on any given day. I can actually feel a difference about being in the kitchen as soon
as I put my apron on.
If you have never worn an apron I encourage you to try wearing one, you just may realize
that this is what you have been missing!
May your kitchen smell heavenly!
May you feel lovely and domestic!

Trek Director Cliff Bole Talks To TV Zone
Posted: 19:03:14 on August 31 By: Anonymous Coward Dept: General Star Trek
The April 2000 issue of the british TV Zone magazine features an exclusive interview with veteran director Cliff Bole, who talks to journalist Steve Eramo about his work on the various incarnations of Star Trek, and creating some very iconic shots for TNG's 'The Best of The Both Worlds Part 1 and 2" and "Unification Part 2", which guest starred Leonard Nimoy as Ambassador Spock. Here are some excerpts of the interview :
About 'The Best of The Both Worlds" two-parter : "That's probably one of my better shows. It all just came together. Michael Piller wrote it and despite our differences, still considers one of his greatest accomplishments on the series.[...] The Borg set itself was very small because of budget restraints. If I did one shot facing down a hallway, I'd change something on the wall, do something a little different and then use the same hall again on another shot. This trick came in handy during the scene in which Lieutenant Commander Shelby (Elisabeth Dennely) and her Away Team are using phasers to fight off the borg. I rotated the actors and changed the lighting as I did all my shots to make it appear as if the Borg were advancing from different section of their cube. So we basically cheated our way thought that set and it came out just fine."
About "Unification Part 2" : "The one unfortunate part about that story is that Leonard [Nimoy] was only available for four days, so we couldn't do much with him. We had to film lots of dialogue rather than lots of action. It would have been terrific to integrate him more on the story, but it was a pleasure to work with him just the same."
About Deep Space Nine : "I only did a handful of Deep Space Nines, both for personal reasons and the fact that I was busy with my commitments to The Next Generation and a few other shows. However, I did enjoy doing Deep Space Nine because was a bit darker and also whenever Armim Shimmerman [Quark] and Rene Auberjonois [Odo] were together on the screen was pure magic. I recently directed a series in Canada and ran into Rene, who happened to working on another show up there, and we met for drinks and reminisced about Deep Space Nine"
About Voyager : "Jennifer Lien did a solid performance [in "Cold Fire"]. I wasn't working on the show when she left, so I don't know what happened there. Peharps they hit a dead end with her character, but I thought she had tremendous potential as an actress. It was also good to work again with Tim Russ. I'd hired him for a part in The Next Generation episode "Starship Mine" and that was kind of a screen test for his role of Tuvok in Voyager. He did one heck of a job in the next episode I directed, "Meld" [...]."

There's a growing trend in politics today. Complete financial disclosure. While we still find out about hidden connections with large corporate partners, destructive marital affairs and all sorts of inappropriate behavior in the work place or with coworkers, many of the so called skeletons in the closet are being served up on a platter. Today's special, tax returns.
Mitt Romney is facing pressure from his GOP rivals about his earnings, and more importantly, his income tax rate. When asked, he stated he probably pays around 15%, which is the national long-term capital gains tax rate. Approximately 20% less than the standard income tax rate for wealthy Americans. "I have nothing in them that suggests there's any problem and I'm happy to do so, I sort of feel like we're showing a lot of exposure at this point," Romney replied. Certainly true, but by today's standards, very much the "norm". Rick Santorum said he already released his 2011 tax returns and Newt Gingrich would be soon to follow, releasing his sometime this week.
This is far from the first we've seen of this. It's common place for those in office to disclose their federal income and gift tax returns. President Obama and Vice-President Biden displayed their 2010 tax returns on the White House website. During the election race of 2004, every single democratic candidate released their returns as well as republican incumbents George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. In fact, the trend has been growing since the mid 70′s, starting with Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. In 1984 pressure to release statements certainly didn't help Mondale and Ferraro's election chances as Ferraro's return showed a payment of over fifty thousand dollars in back taxes. In the last few decades, only 1 out of 5 presidential and vice-presidential candidates choose not to release their federal tax returns. Clearly, the standard is being set. If you're looking to run for office, talk to your accountant first.

The Open Daybook by David P. Earle
What better book to start the month than The Open Daybook, a satisfyingly solid perpetual calendar of 365 days of art (by 371 artists) edited by David P. Earle? Each artist was given 24 hours in which to create their entry; the result is a journal where you can jot your own scribblings or doodle the day, inspired by the art or not. The variety of work is impressive - one never knows what the next day will bring. It's a big book that makes a great gift, the kind that you may want to keep for yourself.

WTOP.com - Shot down: D.C. residents unable to register handguns
A temporary, de facto ban is in place because the one man who could facilitate handgun ownership in the nation's capital has stopped taking registration orders.
Since the lifting of the handgun ban in June 2008, Charles Sykes has processed more than 1,000 handguns for District residents. Sykes tells WTOP he's stopped taking orders for now.
"I've lost my lease," Sykes said in a phone interview. "I'll take care of the customers who already placed orders, but I don't want to take any more until I know where I will reopen."

Here is the pieced top from the little pile in Monday's post. I love this quilt. I made one like it last year that ended up here.
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed making it again. I can't wait to see it quilted and washed. I'm toying with the idea of making kits for my etsy shop. I did some last year until I ran out of the border fabrics. I've since found some worthy replacements, so it's a possibility.
In the mean time, I am stocking I-spy Charm packs again. I am re-stocking the original 3.5" size. I'm also adding a limited number (only 6 - that's it) of 5" charm packs. I cut some for a custom order and decided to sell the rest, so I won't be cutting more.
I have a few other etsy updates in the works - hopefully ready and posted during the next week: vintage sheets, a new little boy quilt and kits! I am excited. That is if my computer cooperates. (See below)
In other more boring news, my computer is reaching the end of it's mortal existence. I think it's about 372 in dog years. Last night, after spending way too long uploading 20 pictures for a tutorial I'd planned to post today (none of which blogger saved because they were only in the loading dock - not the actual draft post *sigh*), my computer shut itself down and went to bed. It keeps doing this and I'm just waiting for the day it doesn't turn on again. We've got a new computer lined up - just need to get someone with far superior technical knowledge than we have to make the official transfer. So the only reason I'm boring everyone with all this information is to let you know the reason if I suddenly go AWOL. I will return as soon as possible with a much faster computer and a new tutorial to boot. The End.

David WycislakJune 1998 |
I'm still cringing inside. I'm still feeling dread, wanting to tell everything, but frightened of the results. I still feel alone.
But not so much anymore.
To those of you who read my columns from month to month, I'd like to let you know that, before a few days ago, you knew more about my private life than anyone. I take my cues from some famous people that I admire, and I hold nothing back. I'll tell you anything about my life if you really want to know. However, there are exceptions to that rule. Namely, my parents.
And now that isn't happening anymore.
I had a fight with my parents a few days ago. It happens. Especially when I want to get out of here, but don't want to work to that end. I just keep hoping that I'll get paid for being me. So my parents asked me to do some chores, I refused, and we started fighting.
Fight fight fight, blah blah blah, yada yada yada. Then I started screaming about how they don't know anything about my life, how I'm alone, how they can't help me.
And naturally, they asked me to explain. So I explained to them everything I've written in Oasis that they don't know about. Jim. The blood test. The crush. I even told them that I wrote for Oasis, which they didn't know.
Of course, they accepted it, and me, with open arms. My parents aren't that bad, really. They're actually pretty good. But they made a valid point to me about what I've done. Each decision I make lately, be it to spend all my money, or do things behind their backs, hurts me.
I've never thought about myself as self-destructive. I mean, I don't brand myself, or get tattoos or piercings or get drunk or do drugs or anything. But it's the decisions I make that hurt me.
I don't really want to explain these decisions. It's too hard to face the truth at the moment, even when i'm just typing this out. Vocally, I used to blame the world, blame my parents, blame everything else for my problems, but my subconscious was evidently blaming myself. And now I'm starting to blame myself for all of this, and it's hard. I want to cry. I want to hurt myself more, punish myself for what I've already done. Weird, huh?
On another subject, I met a guy. Nice, smart, funny, etc. Went on a couple dates with him. He's quite wonderful, but the whole situation's confusing, because he doesn't live near me. He lives a couple thousand miles away in Virginia. I don't like him being so far away, but it can't really be helped.
I went to my sister's graduation, and saw all these people I didn't want to talk to. Not that they hurt me or anything. I just don't want to remember a lot of parts of high school. Mostly the occasions that I look back on and think "Oh my god, I can't believe I did that." I'm embarrassed.
I wish I could start over with a clean slate.
Puzzlement, love, and hate can be directed to email@example.com. I live at http://members.aol.com/agelfling

Nate Robinson's Kid Jacks Somebody Up In Pop Warner Angle Tackling Drill
How bad would you fucking hate Nate Robinson and his kid if you were on this team? Like how many times does Meat or whatever his name is get to go in a row? We get it. Your dad plays in the NBA. I'm not sure that means you get to keep cutting the line and go 50 times in a row. And how about everybody celebrating and hooting and hollering while the kid he laid out for the 9th straight time is laying on the ground. Fuck that. I'd love to go one on one with this kid in this drill. Just fucking light his ass up. Last time I was in an angle tackling drill I broke some bro's arm who tried to stiff arm me and left him on the ground crying and screaming for water. If there is any justice in this world that's what will happen to Nate's kid here.

Out-of-contract Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Adam Davies has signed a two-year deal with the club's South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley.
The 21-year-old former Everton trainee will compete for a place with Luke Steele at Barnsley, who were relegated from the Sky Bet Championship at the end of the season.
"I can't wait and get back to training and for the season to start," Davies told the Tykes' website.
"I started off at Everton when I was 14 and spent five or six years there before moving to Sheffield Wednesday. Hopefully this is the start of a new chapter for me at Barnsley.
"I've worked with some top goalkeepers in Tim Howard and Chris Kirkland who were very good with me.
"I'm not here to sit and watch, but I'm here to give Luke Steele a lot of competition over the season and play games."

Not that surprising to be honest. People love to complain - you always do better when "their guy" is in charge. I imagine Rush's ratings would be up as well.
Amazing that Beck was so high. We really should be able to get Ron Paul on that list.Beck particularly enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence on the national stage in 2009, partially by establishing himself as a bit of a political organizer of the "Tea Party" movement. An increasingly polarizing figure, a recent Gallup poll placed Beck fourth among the most admired men by Americans, trailing only President Obama, former President George W. Bush and South African leader Nelson Mandela. Media Matters, however, recently bestowed Beck with the dubious distinction of being 2009's "Misinformer of the Year."

Jeremy Greenspan has teamed up with Borys on a new EP titled God Told Me To set to drop on Jiaolong in just a few weeks! The four track EP will be avilable as a 12″ and digitally. Three of the tracks were composed by Jeremy in collaboration with J Borys while the final track also features the work of Christina Sealey. Full tracklisting details are below. In anticipation of this EP you can head over to Jeremy's SoundCloud page and listen to some of his previous Jiaolong releases.

A2 – Saint Hood ø

Greenspan's best known for his Junior Boys works, but he's not averse to popping out the occasional solo record or remix: he released the 'Crown Princess' 12″ on Dan Snaith's Jiaolong label in 2012, and followed up with a tight edit of synth musician Laurie Speigel's 1980 track 'Drums'.
His latest edit sees him reconfigure Ghostly singer Lusine, responsible for this year's The Waiting Room LP. His 'Lucky' remix begins as clean and light as sorbet, spotted with Zapp synth-wobbles and underscored by an Italo disco pulse. Things start to toughen up around the four minute mark, bringing Whitey's vintage electro-trash smash 'Leave Them All Behind' springs to mind.
The Greenspan remix will feature on a 12″ release of Lusine's 'Lucky', due on Ghostly in the coming months. The release will also include a remix from quondam Emerald Steve Hauschildt.

Renaissance's The Masters series tends to stick to big room hand-raisers, with Deep Dish, Hernán Cattáneo and James Zabiela all contributing previous instalments. Their latest mixer, though, is a more storied proposition. Francois Kevorkian came up in the early 1980s spinning in legendary spots like Studio 54 and The Paradise Garage. A slew of high profile releases and remixes followed, and he consolidated his hold on the NY house scene in the mid 1990s with the legendary Body & SOUL parties, run alongside Danny Krivit and Joe Claussell.
The 2xCD The Masters set features some familiar friends, including Objekt's precision engineered 'Porcupine' and Blawan's '6 To 6 Lick'. A hitherto unheard track from Scuba will also feature. Tuff City Kids, Mike Huckaby, Trevino, Alden Tyrell, Factory Floor and A Made Up Sound all make the cut.

Jiaolong006-Drums&Drums&Drums/Sirius Shake by Jeremy Greenspan
Last year's re-issue of Laurie Spiegel's genre-defining 'The Expanding Universe' was a highlight of many a 'best-of list' (ours included), so it stands to reason that someone would take the initiative to flesh out her forward-thinking electronic abstractions into something more… well… dancefloor friendly. Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan has obliged and taken Spiegel's proto-techno masterpiece 'Drums' and fed it through his enviable collection of synthesizers and drum machines, using the skipping sequences of the original to inform the direction of the track. The result is both respectful and surprisingly floor-filling, with the progressive drive culled straight from the source material forming the backbone, and Greenspan only adding an economic scattering of melodic flourishes on top. Keeping it minimal was a smart move, and while Greenspan's calling card might still be harmony, 'Drums&Drums&Drums' strength is in its cautious, slow build – bringing to mind Li'l Louie's peerless and deliriously intense 'French Kiss' which is no bad thing at all. While it ends up on a totally different playing field than the original track, Greenspan has proven that it is possible to tinker with a classic and actually make it work.
Jeremy Greenspan – Sirius Shake from Jeremy Greenspan on Vimeo.
"I first heard Laurie Spiegel's music about 13 years ago. Growing up I had been excited by early electronic experimentalists – people like Hugh Le Caine, Steve Reich, Wendy Carlos, Louis and Bebe Barron and of course Norman McLaren (whose work became the principal inspiration for the third Junior Boys album "Begone Dull Care"). In 2000 OHM released their excellent 3 CD set "The Early Gurus of Electronic Music". That album introduced me to the wonderful music of Jean Claude Risset, Alvin Lucier and most importantly for me, Laurie Spiegel. Spiegel's recording "Appalachian Grove I" stood out on the compilation. Amidst a sea of abstraction, dissonance and confrontational noise, Spiegel's composition is no less experimental, no less contemporary than the other works, but is, if you forgive the cliché, wholly musical. In fact "Appalachian Grove I" is, if anything, a celebration of joyous harmony. It is a gentle swarm of synthesized tones, like a perfectly conducted orchestra of robotic cicadas.
Starting in the 1970s, Spiegel worked at the famous Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey. Under the direction of famed engineer Max Mathews, the Bell Labs were responsible for many innovations in sound design including the famous speech synthesizer used for HAL in Stanley Kubrick's "2001″. Spiegel's work focused on programming computers with decision-making algorithms she could interact with to
make music. As a result her music, except when directly based on a specific formula, such as her famous rendering of Kepler's Harmonices Mundi, is often rooted in the most fundamental materials and structures of the Western musical tradition.
In the field of experimental electronic music, born out of the atonal philosophies of Varese, Schoenberg and Stockhausen, such traditional notions of harmony and melody make Spiegel quite unique. This last year a reissue of "The Expanding Universe", which compiles Spiegel's major works from the mid-70s was released to rave reviews on Unseen Worlds Records. Included on that release is the
1975 composition "Drums". Since first hearing it over ten years ago, I was always amazed at how contemporary "Drums" sounded. I have, over the years, often thought of different ways I could edit the song to be used as a DJ tool. Last year while breaking from touring the fourth Junior Boys album, I released my first 12″ for Dan Snaith's (Caribou, Daphni) label Jiaolong. The mandate of Jiaolong – to produce interesting and daring dance music following a wide variety of musical influences and trajectories – got me thinking that I should pursue my dream of re-editing Laurie Spiegel's "Drums".
It is tricky to work with something you love, and which is in itself already perfectly complete. This track is credited to both myself and Laurie Spiegel, not only because I received her generous blessing and input, but also because I felt as though I was attempting not simply to re-edit or even remix the piece, but rather to play off of it: to use it as a guide to exploring some different musical possibilities, and to collaborate with the original. In many ways I didn't write anything, but simply played back "Drums" on my computer, using its tempo and rhythms to trigger an almost arbitrary chain of synthesizers, both new and old. I then fed Spiegel's original piece into my indispensable Eventide H3000 Ultra-Harmonizer (a piece of equipment that I use constantly and was, unbeknownst to me, beta tested by Spiegel in the 1980s). My job was simply to select the moments I thought worked and disregard the excess.
I am thrilled to release this piece with Laurie Spiegel. She is in my opinion, the best type of experimental, electronic composer, because she is, at heart a populist. She uses the most cutting edge technology and she has always employed the most rigorously complex and formal methods to make music, yet the music is itself never esoteric or alienating. It is enjoyable to all who hear it. And with just a few tweaks, and a bassline it's now ready for the dancefloor."

TV actor and comedian Stephen Merchant has visited Bristol Zoo to be officially inducted into the Bristol Walk of Fame.
The writer, director, comedian and actor was voted onto the Walk of Fame following a public vote and visited the Zoo with his family at the weekend to accept his plaque and spend a day at the attraction.
Merchant is one of 60 'icons' from across the historic, creative, sporting and wildlife spectrum which are celebrated on the walk. Each of the stars is featured on a specially designed Bristol Blue Glass plaque placed around the Zoo's 12-acre site.
Born in Bristol in 1974, Merchant attended Hanham High School before studying at the University of Warwick, where he began his broadcasting career. He first performed stand-up comedy at Bristol's Comedy Box.
He is perhaps best-known as the co-writer and co-director of the comedy series, The Office, and haswon three BAFTAs, four British Comedy Awards and two Golden Globes.
He said he was honoured to have been voted onto the Walk: "To have been voted for by the public in my home town is fantastic. I'm honoured to be commemorated on the Walk of Fame alongside some of the people I model myself on, such as John Cleese, Cary Grant and Wallace & Gromit.
He added: "I'm here with my mum and dad. Ever since I was a kid I've begged my parents to take me to the zoo and today they finally did. All I had to do was write a sitcom, appear in some films, do a stand-up comedy tour, then win the votes of hundreds of people so the zoo gave me a plaque. Now can I see a gibbon?"

Director of Bristol Zoo, Dr Bryan Carroll, added: "Bristol has a well-known reputation for producing talented and inspiring people and we are pleased to be celebrating these icons on our Bristol Walk of Fame. We are delighted to be able to welcome Stephen Merchant and his family to Bristol Zoo."
Last year's inductees onto the Bristol Walk of Fame included a host of famous names from Banksy, Massive Attack, Justin Lee Collins, toJ.K Rowling, Tony Robinson, Bill Bailey, and the Wurzels.
This year's new inductees are: Bristol Rovers FC; Bristol City FC; Rosie & Wendy the elephants that used to live at Bristol Zoo; founder of CLIC Sargent, Bob Woodward; Darth Vader actor, David Prowse; founder of the Bristol Aeroplane Company, Sir George White; cricketer Marcus Trescothick, Olympic ice skater, Robin Cousins; snooker-player, Judd Trump and Bristol Zoo's summer art project, Wow! Gorillas.
The Bristol Walk of Fame is sponsored by Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School and has been created in association with Walk of Fame Ltd trademark owners and operators of cultural attractions in the UK.

you realise nothing you have said negates jacks point though? i understand you mock him for his view point but at the same time you have said nothing which invalidates his comments.
Blizzard is always able to write a big fat check, hold a press confrence, and get a few photos at any time. there is nothing that says that they have to tie it in to a pet sale.
any donation they give is easily said to have come from their player base, as that is their source of income, so the only logical reason left that they have chosen to tie a charity into a pet sale is to curb negative reactions to selling pets.
I've said it b4, and i'll say it again:
buy one, dont buy one, i don't care.
but why gang up on jack just because he mentions an honest opinion.
Its not so much that i agree with Jack, but even though its not the nicest thought, he's right in the sense that this is all just for publicity and to curb negative reactions.

Portsmouth 1-1 Millwall: Match Report
Nugent rescues PompeyDavid Nugent prevented Portsmouth from coming a cropper in their first match at Fratton Park since November 13 by netting a fortuitous equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Millwall.The former Preston striker stole in at the near post to steer home Liam Lawrence's mishit shot midway through the second half after a spell of extended pressure.Portsmouth's leveller was just reward for an impressive second half, having previously seen a Nugent goal ruled out for offside, with Dave Kitson also firing another chance agonisingly wide and Hayden Mullins hitting the upright.Steve Cotterill's side, however, looked second best throughout the majority of the first half and deservedly went behind to a Liam Trotter header.Nugent, though, thwarted the Lions' hopes of securing their second victory at Fratton Park in 18 attempts and, in truth, they were lucky to escape with a point.Portsmouth were boosted heading into the clash by the return of influential defender Hermann Hreidarsson, who made his first start in nine months after rupturing an Achilles tendon.The visitors, meanwhile, handed the skipper's armband to Alan Dunne in Paul Robinson's absence. Like defensive partner Danny Shittu, he was struggling with a hamstring problem.The match started frenetically on a bitter afternoon in Hampshire, with Portsmouth captain Aaron Mokoena lucky not to be sent off within 78 seconds for a lunge on Steve Morison.Just two minutes later, the Londoners came agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock through on-loan Southampton winger Jason Puncheon, who followed up James Henry's parried effort.The visitors' bright start continued and, after several clear-cut chances, Kenny Jackett's men netted a 26th-minute opener.Puncheon played a superb ball through to Morison, whose fierce shot was parried on to Trotter and his header floated into the top corner.By this point, Millwall were looking particularly dangerous down the left flank, where Hreidarsson was enduring a torrid afternoon.Morison twice came close to doubling the visitors' advantage as half-time approached, although their attacking onslaught could not muster a second goal.Portsmouth started the second half with renewed vigour and only a late block prevented Michael Brown netting an equaliser 16 seconds after the restart.Two minutes later, Nugent wheeled off in celebration after slotting home a loose ball, but the Pompey chimes were short-lived as the goal was ruled out for offside.The Londoners rode their luck as Kitson stabbed a shot agonisingly wide in the 56th minute, but Cotterill's men began to wane and Joel Ward was forced into a goal-line clearance five minutes later.Mullins clipped the outside of the upright with a first-time shot in the 62nd minute and Portsmouth's equaliser eventually came 11 minutes later in somewhat fortuitous circumstances.After Lawrence's corner was half-cleared, the midfielder mishit a shot that was going wide until Nugent stole in at the near post to head home.Both sides pressed forward in search of an all-important winner but saw their attempts nullified by resolute defending at either end.

U.S. issues Haiti Travel Warning: How Dare They!
by Malaika Kambon
In a monumental perversion of truth and morality the U.S. warns its citizens that Haiti is a land of criminality and disease. Yet, it is the U.S. and its allies who are committing "robbery, lawlessness, the spread of infectious disease and the destruction of proper medical facilities to destroy any hope of democracy in Haiti."

Victoria Adult Literacy Council to help build libraries for Victoria families
Jessica Rodrigo
June 23, 2014 at 1:23 a.m.
To volunteer
The Victoria Adult Literacy Council will visit the summer camps at the Victoria Boys and Girls Club from 10-10:45 a.m. Tuesdays through July 8 and the YMCA at Pinnacle Pointe from 9-9:45 a.m. Wednesdays through July 9. For more information or to make a donation, call 361-582-4273.
The Victoria Adult Literacy Council wants to help children continue reading during summer vacation.
For three weeks, the council staff and members will read to children already enrolled at summer camps at The Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA at Pinnacle Pointe to encourage reading and building a home library.
"Reading is very important, and some of the kids don't get a chance to visit the library to check out books," said Eden Casal, program coordinator.
As part of the council's Family Literacy In Practice Summer Reading Tour, she said, the staff will visit two summer camp programs to share the books they've collected to build libraries in Victoria homes.
LeTrice Youngblood, the Boys and Girls Club program director, said the children enjoyed the program last year.
"The kids love it because they got the books at the end of the day," she said. "It's always a great opportunity to have people come in and read for them."
The Boys and Girls Club summer camp includes about 80 children, but the program focuses on about 30 students between ages 6 and 8 years old.
It's not always possible for the families to buy their own books or visit the library, Youngblood said. The books will help keep them reading through the summer and help them develop good reading habits, she said.
"The best experience of a book is hearing it. Then, they get to go home and read it for themselves," Youngblood said.
The books are leftover from the adult literacy program, which also helps parents study for and earn their GED, Casal said. The council also receives help from a Dow grant program that provides funds to purchase the reading material that ends up being given away during the summer reading program.
Each week, the program gives out about 60 books to the children in the program, Casal said.
The nonprofit group is always looking for volunteers to help read to the children during the summer program and throughout the year as tutors. Donations in the form of books or money can also be made throughout the year, Casal said.
"As a little kid, you remember your parents reading to you," Casal said. "We want them to keep up their reading during the summer and to enjoy reading."

Not been on in ages...not really felt like posting as I've been in serious sloth mode Need to get my butt in gear as Nessie is calling and the training plan is already on it's 3rd incarnation. Yesterday was a 3mile easy and I can't remember the last time I've clock watched on a 3mile run...in my defence it was REALLY hot...ok not quite WR hot but still hot...the sweat was pouring off me.
Mr CS is currently out with injury...he was complaining of a pain in his achilles/calf before the Humber HM and after I'd had to wait for him at the top of the 1st serious climb (that NEVER happens) I told him that was it I was ringing the physio. She has diagnosed a haematoma...apparently at some point he has had a minor tear at the bottom of his calf and with all the running we were doing he hadn't noticed...then we took a week off...no running at all...which gave his leg time to try and heal over the repeated minor tears.
Good luck with the new job Dave...
Hope the achilles sorts itself out pretty darn quick GE.
Have fun with the streaking Phil, although be kind to that knee...you don't want to end up on the injury bench as well.
GE keep your eyes open for Darren & Laura on Monday, they're both doing the Bupa 10k.
Looks like the weather is going to be kind to us this weekend...if only things had gone to plan...
Because there's 2 starts Darren...I'm guessing you're in the last pen on the faster start so don't worry you're actually probably right where you need to be. Have fun this weekend.
37 press ups AND 37 sit ups in a minute or 2 separate minutes Phil??
Talking of pen colours, I didn't get to move forward this year 2010...purple, 2011...gold, 2012....blue, 2013...blue again...I must need to be sub-2 to move forward again. Mr CS is in the pink which is right near the front somewhere I have given him permission this time to start in his allocated spot rather than with me as I think this will be our last time of doing this race...unless of course there's a reunion in 2020 or something
I have had a moment of clarity...hopefully I can hang on to it...at the start of the year I set my sights on a sub-2 at Edinburgh...training hasn't gone as well as I was hoping, in fact I'd say I've had more urgh than woohoo runs...I got made redundant and the pollen has been knocking me for six...so I'm now just going to run my own run and see what happens.
Oh and a bit of additional news....I'VE GOT A NEW JOB!!! I had 5 interviews all really close together and there was one in particular that I wanted...and that was the one I got...actually I may get offered some of the others as they're due to make the final decisions next week, but it doesn't matter as I've accepted the one I've been offered.
Andy, it sounds to me like you've tried to cram too much in having been out with injury for a little while...take it easy until race day, just keep the legs ticking over and have fun on the day...who knows you may still get that sub-3.
Good news that your job is safe for another 2 years Philby, that must be a relief.
I do I do I do Philby Sorry for the late update, for some reason RW did not want to let me tell you guys on here about Manchester, I tried a couple of times and each time I didn't get a blinky line for the typey thing. Edinburgh 2010 5:27....Disney 2012 5:32... Las Vegas 2012 5:01...Manchester 2013...drum roll please....4:40 Was easily averaging 10min miles up to somewhere between 19 & 20miles and then I couldn't ignore the sicky feeling any longer and had to take a walk break...unfortunately once you start with the walk breaks they come on thick & fast from then on in. Really need to get a grip on the fueling on race day...I think where I went wrong was I grabbed the water pouches had a couple of big glugs and then ditched...in training I take regular little sips...will maybe carry the water with me a bit longer at Nessie. The support at Manchester is amazing though, there was one section...you know on the Tour deFrance you see the crowd practically on top of the cyclists...well, it was like that...absolutely amazing. Think we'll be putting our names down for it again.
Job news....I've been for quite a few interviews, I even got offered one job...as much as I would've loved to have done it...it was at a school and I could've used their running track & fitness suite...at £7.40 an hour (35hours a week) I couldn't afford to take that big a hit. Went for 2 interviews yesterday...1 was all that 'what would you say has been your greatest achievement' b*llocks and the other was telling me about the job & company and comparing my CV to the role...you know... 'we need someone to take charge of the accounts, I see you've done Sales, Purchase, bank reconciliation etc'... Came away from the 2nd interview feeling really positive and the job would suit me down to the ground...negotiated hours & pay...and the bloke didn't baulk at all so fingers crossed.
On the training side of things...I have turned into a sloth I blame the lack of routine...Mr CS comes home from work and I'm all...can't be bothered going for a run, let's stay in and slob on the couch. Must get my act together...please feel free to don your biggest boots and give me a much needed kick up the backside.
