We're counting down ten Matches to Remember from the 2014 season as we build-up to the 2015 fixtures release date, on Thursday 27 November at 10.30am.
Today, we look back at Derbyshire's thrilling final day victory against Worcestershire at The 3aaa County Ground.
After three evenly fought days, Captain Wayne Madsen set the final day alight top-scoring with 98 to help set the visitors 268 to win with a little under two sessions remaining.
Derbyshire made the ideal start claiming three early wickets before Wes Durston took over to tear through Worcestershire's middle order and put the hosts in the ascendancy. The off-break bowler claimed figures of 5-19 off 13 overs as the visitors slipped from 73-3 to 97-8.

Derby City Council Leader Ranjit Banwait was a guest of the Cricket Derbyshire India Club on Friday evening as over 300 people celebrated Diwali in the Marquee at The 3aaa County Ground.
The sell-out event, also attended by Deputy Leader Martin Rawson and Sinfin & Osmaston Labour Councillor Baggy Shanker, was the latest success for The Cricket Derbyshire India Club; a concept that earned an ECB Business of Cricket Award nomination in the Innovation category on Thursday.
A number of Derbyshire first team players were present for the Diwali event, along with Chief Executive Simon Storey and – representing the Club's Principal Partner & Ground Sponsor 3aaa Aspire Achieve Advance – Peter Marples.
Councillor Banwait said: "It's been a fantastic evening. It's a great honour for me to be here.
"There is a strong partnership between Derby City Council and Derbyshire County Cricket Club."
The India Club, led by Tom Poynton and comprising eight British-Indian community leaders, now has two sell-out dinners to its credit following An Audience with Ravi Shastri in July.

Paceman Mark Footitt travelled to South Africa on Friday for the start of the three week England Performance Programme (EPP) Fast Bowling camp.
At the camp, held in Potchefstroom, Footitt will be coached by EPP Lead Fast Bowling Coach Kevin Shine and England Fast Bowling Coach Ottis Gibson.
The camp concludes on 10 December when Footitt will re-join his Derbyshire teammates at The 3aaa County Ground as preparations for the 2015 season continue.
Footitt said: "I'm excited by the prospect of the England Performance Programme. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in, learning and hopefully developing my game a little bit more.
We're counting down ten Matches to Remember from the 2014 season as we build-up to the 2015 fixtures release date, on Thursday 27 November at 10.30am.
Today we look back at Derbyshire's record LV= County Championship victory over Leicestershire in the final game of the 2014 season.
Opening batsman Ben Slater was the star man as the 23-year-old hit consecutive tons to record his maiden and second first-class centuries. He became the first Derbyshire-born player since Chris Adams in 1996 to hit two hundreds in a first-class match and only the 15th in the Club's history.

Over 100 guests, including a host of Derbyshire legends, dined in the historic Long Room at Lord's on Wednesday evening to celebrate the launch of the Derbyshire Exiles.
The event, sponsored by Principal Partner & Ground Sponsor 3aaa - Aspire, Achieve, Advance, brought together supporters from across the country within the most evocative four walls in cricket.
Proceeds from the Exiles' Dinner will go to the Cricket Derbyshire Foundation (Registered Charity No. 1155801) which delivers community projects benefiting health, education and social inclusion across Derbyshire.
A list of household Derbyshire names attended the prestigious event at the Home of Cricket, including Bob Taylor MBE, master of ceremonies Dominic Cork, guest speaker Geoff Miller OBE and the Benson & Hedges Cup winning duo Devon Malcolm and Chris Adams.
Other former Derbyshire players in attendance included James Pipe (Lead Physiotherapist), Kevin Dean (Cricket Advisory Director), Tim O'Gorman, Matthew Vandrau and Graeme Welch (Elite Performance Director).

We're counting down ten Matches to Remember from the 2014 season as we build-up to the 2015 fixtures release date, on Thursday 27 November at 10.30am.
Today we look back at Derbyshire's win over Gloucestershire at Cheltenham in the LV= County Championship.
West Indies Batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul led his side to a thrilling victory on the final day, hitting an unbeaten 52 including a six to win the match.
It was also a momentous game for Tom Taylor who took his maiden first-class five-wicket haul to reduce Gloucestershire to 356 in their first innings.

Derbyshire CCC Principal Sponsor & Ground Sponsor 3aaa – Aspire, Achieve, Advance has been award Ofsted Grade 1 Outstanding in their first inspection.
Peter Marples, Founder, said:"We are absolutely delighted to have achieved Grade 1 – Outstanding, the highest possible across all areas of the business, in our first Ofsted Inspection.
"This is indeed a reflection of the sheer dedication, hard work and commitment of everyone; staff, employers and partners – we are so proud."
We're counting down ten Matches to Remember from the 2014 season as we build-up to the 2015 fixtures release date, on Thursday 27 November at 10.30am.
In at number eight is Derbyshire's victory over Leicestershire at Grace Road as the Falcons started the new 50-over competition with back-to-back wins.
Derbyshire skipper Wayne Madsen (105*), who the day previous hit his maiden List A century, struck his second successive ton as Graeme Welch's men successfully chased down 249 in 45.1 overs.
It's still early days, but like a slow start to spring, progress is now just starting to be visible in this first stage of ground development.
The new roof insulation is being installed in the pavilion, no small task as there is an area of some 500 square metres to be insulated to ensure that the air conditioning functions efficiently, but this work should conclude at the start of next week.
The brickwork has started on the new pavilion entrance, the lift pit is in place and the first series of new drains have been installed.
Also, other basic infrastructure – the mechanical and electrical first fix, in contractor parlance – is also being put in place.
It doesn't sound too exciting, but this initial work is crucial and will underpin the overall project.
Over in the Gateway, the substructure for the dressing rooms is now complete on the first floor and the floor will be installed over the course of the coming week.

It has all the makings of another good CIA type drama. I like the main characters, Steven and Samantha Bloom. I was a huge fan of JJ's last CIA drama, Alias, so I'm excited to see what ideas he has for this show. Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article. Post a Comment | Blog Photos |

everyone in his inner circle to - so yeah more then one
Either you vote for osamaobama or you vote against him...There is no middle road in this comming election. If you don't vote then that is a vote for osamaobama.....
At lest the choise is simple
Ask? Why the Obama hate? Not trying to be a horses A$$, really just wondering. My only problem with this guy so far is I can't figure out why you would ask for that job, considering what was on the table, not just over seas but right here with the banks and housing....... I am not a Dem or Rep. I find it funny that folks are so easy to judge based on party and forget who was sitting in the "drivers" seat that put us here in the first place. I understand this is a "gun" site and as such most folks are prone to lean to "protect my gun rights at all cost". I understand that. What I don't understand is the simple across the board Obama bashing. So this guy hasn't done anything right? The Bushes did everything right? Throw your whole f-ing political crap out the window and take a look at what a mess the whole thing is. Oh, I forgot, it's all Obamas fault. Let the games begin....

Examples of this include groups that have foreign nationals, as without a GP they can not obtain the referral required for treatment on a medical insurance plan; companies involved in heavy labour, where an onsite nurse might want to fast track treatment by bypassing the employee's GP; and independent hospitals, where staff may be able to self-refer.
Tucked away alongside its larger trust arrangements, Simplyhealth also has a significantly smaller group that fits this model. Hughes explains: "We have one trust arrangement with less than 100 members. They self-insure a scheme to pay for infertility treatment for members. This wouldn't be covered on a medical insurance scheme."
Benefit schedules
But it's not simply a matter of finding the more unusual risks or requirements and slapping them into a self-funded arrangement. To make trusts work for smaller groups, careful attention has to be paid to the benefits schedules and scheme particulars.
"Carefully written benefits are important," says Lawson. "I'd advocate restrictions on when dependants can join a scheme, as this can eliminate the risk of someone adding a family member just to get their treatment done privately."
Other safeguards include excesses, to deter claims, and benefit caps, to reduce the risk of large claims wiping out the entire fund.
"If you put a financial limit on treatment it depersonalises it. It takes away the need for the employer to make a call on when someone's cancer has becomes chronic and the company won't fund treatment anymore," adds Lawson.
A further safety mechanism that has been included on both the MCD and the Healix products is control around treatment. MCD uses its Treatment Sourcing Service to negotiate treatment prices and Healix uses a combination of specially negotiated prices with all of the hospital groups and a nurse-led claims management process. Both say this helps to drive down claims costs.
"In some cases we've made huge savings," says Healix's Saunders, pointing to an example where the cost of a claim was pushed down from £250,000 to just £40,000 after one of its nurses recommended different treatment.
"This helps to reduce the volatility that can be seen in smaller schemes," he argues.
So, although the initial reaction to offering self-insurance to groups of as few as 100 members may be one of horror, the measured approach being taken can sometimes make it a viable and attractive proposition.

Catching Channel Eyes
XChange 2012, which took place in Dallas last week, was a mix of info-packed keynote sessions, meetings, workshops and peer-to-peer networking, not to mention a good party or two. But it was also a way for vendors both established and up-and-coming to showcase their wares, whether they were the latest in wireless LAN products or a set of leasing options designed with IT solution providers. Here's a look at 20 of those offerings, including products showcased during XChange's QuickFire sessions and in the Solution Pavilion exhibit hall.
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

Am i a loser if i am not invited to parties? (possibly NSFW) (self.AdviceForTeens)
submitted 2 years ago * by [deleted]
im a 15 year old boy.
I go to a small private high school so we dont have all of the "staple" events that the average high school has. For example, we dont have homecoming dances because we dont have a football team. We also lack a few other major events, but i cant think of them at the moment. So anyways, because of the lack of events at our school, a lot of students at my school go to the events at other schools. And once they make a connection with someone from that school, they get invited to their personal house parties too. But i just get so frustrated by that, because no matter how many friends i have at this school, i never get invited to the big parties. And at my own school i actually am very well-liked, and i do have a few friends at other schools, but they arent the ones that throw the parties. I used to not care, but now i just feel so alienated. But then some people actually threw a BIG community-wide, teen-only party that i was actually invited to! But i kept getting so anxious about it, and everyone was going just to grind and hook-up with girls, and i was really afraid. So i didnt go. And whats worse is that i punished myself for my bad decision and kept reliving it like a nightmare in my head. But then i realized that the real reason that i was turned off by the hooking up and grinding was because i think im gay and i hate it. Ive always had a kind of attraction towards guys, but i never paid any attention to it. But now ever since ive been introduced to masturbation and pornography, my same-sex attraction has been more pronounced. Im only ever attracted to gay porn and i fantasize about sexual encounters with my guy friends. So now im even more anxious and scared because i dont know anyone who is gay and im worried that it will alienate me even more by the friends i have. There's really a lot more to this story, and the problems im having now, but ive never been able to get advice about this topic, and i want to keep this post focused on it. And ive already typed out so much! So please, i really need some advice in any form, or if you can recommend a better subreddit to post this to. And if you have a question or need more info, instead of downvoting, you can just ask and ill answer. thank you!
EDIT: and one more point is that i can't help thinking that what social things that my friends do is the "right" thing to do. I wish that parties wasn't what kids are "supposed" to do. I wish i could tell my friends how i feel, because then they probably would invite me to things and be supportive (at least some of them). I wish i could grow up and have good experiences and be proud of them. And most of all, i wish i could accept the fact that im gay, and that there would be people that i would fit in with, and truly feel like a strong part of something good.
Im sorry for being a downer, i just need to get this off my chest because ive held it in for soo long!

- show Description
Good Morning, Miss Bliss was about a junior high teacher, Miss Bliss, played by Hayley Mills, and some of her students, including Zack, Screech, Nikki, Mikey, & Lisa. Miss Bliss was an innovative teacher, which did not always please her boss, Mr. Belding, who was the principal of the school. Miss Bliss had been widowed a couple of years before and so juggled her personal life with her commitment to her students. The setting of the show was JFK Junior High in Indiana. After the show was cancelled by the Disney Channel, NBC picked up 4 of the characters (Zack, Screech, Lisa and Mr. Belding) for a new Saturday morning series called Saved by the Bell, which became more of a teen sitcom concentrating on the antics of the students and was re-located to Bayside High School in Pacific Palisades, California.moreless
Trivia & Quotes
Quotes (3)
(After Zack and Lisa agree it's ok to lie to get someone to like you) Nikki: Oh well, who am I to argue now that Charles and Di have given their royal blessings?
Zack: Mikey, I've been back for two weeks, where have you been? Mikey: I just got home last night, my parents dragged me to that sausage convention! Screech: Did you meet the Grand Kielbasa?! Mikey: Yeah he asked for you.
Mikey: Do guys with curly hair turn you on?
Notes (17)
The series was set in Indianapolis.
The role of Miss Bliss was written for Sandy Duncan, but when NBC had a problem with The Hogan Family, she was moved to that show and Hayley Mills was offered the role.
Rejected first by NBC because they didn't think it was creative enough.
The show was recast and slightly re-written a month later, and was accepted for Disney's line-up.
The original order of the cast in the opening credits went like this: Hayley Mills Dennis Haskins Joan Ryan (Three names at the same time, from top to bottom) Max Battimo Dustin Diamond Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Two names at the same time, from top to bottom) Heather Hopper Lark Voorhies and T.K. Carter as Mylo When used in reruns the order of the cast goes like this: Hayley Mills Mark-Paul Gosselaar Joan Ryan Dennis Haskins Lark Voorhies Dustin Diamond Heather Hopper Max Battimo and T.K. Carter as Mylo
In the "Saved By the Bell" version of the opening credits, the following scenes shown in the opening credits are from this episode: Hayley Mills- The scene where miss Bliss says you can always count on Zack to do the right thing, and the scene where Miss Bliss tells Zack not to forget he's going to be introduced as the eighth grade representative and points her pen at him. Joan Ryan- The scene where Tina Paladrino says, "Who are you Carrie's evil twin sister"? Dennis Haskins- The scene after Miss Bliss tells Mr. Belding she's going on a date and he says, "OK" in the office. Heather Hopper- The scene where Nikki says she's been in the same class as Zack for eight years.
Carla Gugino, who could be seen as playing Zack's first girlfriend, would go on to do the movie Son-in-law with Zack's Saved by the Bell girlfriend, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen.
In the "Saved By the Bell" version of the opening credits, the following scenes shown in the opening credits are from this episode: Hayley Mills- When Miss Bliss smiles as she talks to Jerry Vick. Joan Ryan- When Tina is telling Miss Bliss her student test grades and says, "Do you know a kid named Al"? Dustin Diamond- The scene where Screech is asking Miss Bliss for love advice and is saying, "Yeah, yeah", as she tells him. And Screech telling Zack, "They'd never believe me anyway", when Zack says not to tell anyone that he thinks Screech is a good guy. T.K. Carter- When Mylo is smiling while listening to Miss Bliss talk to Mr. Vick.
Trivia (14)
For the part of Mr. Richard Belding they originally were looking for someone who was African American and over 50 years old.
The role of Lisa Turtle was originally conceived as a Jewish white girl from Long Island.
The original theme song for Good Morning Miss Bliss was much different than the regular Saved By the Bell theme, which is used in reruns. It was called "These Are The Best of Times". The lyrics are: (Sung by male singer) Standing on the edge, there's no way of knowing. (Sung by female singer)What lies ahead or where the road is going. (Sung by male singer)So if our heart is smart, it won't wait for life to start. (Sung by male and female singer) Then I'll meet you somehow, I know tomorrow's here and now. These are the best of times, they'll stand the test of time. We don't need the years to show, what our hearts already know. These are the best of times, they'll stand the test of time. Though it's an uphill climb, I know we'll find a way to make each day, the best of times.
Goof: Miss Bliss mentions that the love letters to Lisa and Zack and Screech's term papers were all written on the same typewriter. Since Zack wrote the love letters and Screech wrote the term papers, they could not have used the same typewriter unless Zack and Screech share a typewriter between them.
In this episode Zack's dad is called Peter, and Zack's parents are divorced. After the show became Saved by the Bell and moved to NBC on Saturday mornings, Zack's Dad's name is Derek and his parents are still together.
Mr. Belding and Miss Bliss have worked together for 11 years according to Mr. Belding in this episode.
On this episode near the beginning you can notice that on the board American is spelled as Amesican, clearly it was supposed to say Famous American Inventions
Nicki refers to Zack about his little sister, on Saved By The Bell he's an only child.
Allusions (4)
Freddy Krueger is the supernatural killer from the Nightmare on Elm street movies.
St. Freddy's refers to the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series. Andras Jones (Deke) played a role in "Nightmare on Elm Street 4: Dream Master".
St. Freddy's on Elm Street refers to the supernatural killer Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
The title of this episode, "The Boy Who Cried Rat," is an allusion to the story, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf."
- Fan Reviews (2)
I like this shw better than the High School Saved by the Bell.
A prologue to "Saved By the Bell", "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" introduced Zack, Lisa, Screech and Mr. Belding. The show focused on Miss Bliss rather than the kids, showing her interacting with the kids at school and at home.

Brown won`t look down
Preston boss Phil Brown is refusing to look at the npower Championship table as his side bid to climb to safety.North End have struggled badly for much of the campaign but last weekend's home win over Swansea marked a third successive victory.Significantly, it lifted the Deepdale outfit off the bottom of the table and encouraged hopes of survival.But Brown said: "We're off the bottom of the table now, although I'm still refusing to look at it."At the end of the season we have to be top of a four-team table, we want to be 21st out of 24."

Sheikh Mohammed Tours Schools On First Day Back
On the first day back at school, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai visited two schools in Dubai.
During his visit to the schools, Sheikh Mohammed was welcomed by the students and teachers, toured the classes and spoke to students.
Sheikh Mohammed did not only post images on Instagram and twitter but also tweeted: "Today I joined our promising students on their first day back to schools. Knowledge is key to producing a competent generation capable of building a better future for #UAE."
He added "The #UAE seeks to integrate Information Technology into education to prepare our new generation for the future."

text: Wanted to see how much interest there would be in attending this. This would be huge obviously. It's in Commerce at the Atlanta dragway. Thought it would be cool to gather 20+ members for it to be worth it. They do have truck and suv classes, so it's not just for muscle/tuner/supercars. There's plenty of time before then to gather up a lot of interest, do some mods, and iron out the details. What do you guys think? Anybody?

United Railway Signal Group, Inc
As United continues to grow and the employee count rises, additional desktop computers are continuously needed. Having worked at places like the Supercomputer Computations Research Institute on the campus of Florida State University, where four system administrators support hundreds of Unix users (a large percentage through X Terminals), we knew that an X Terminal model would work for United. We began installing Linux-based X Terminals everywhere new desktop computers were needed. We are able to sell United new Alphas with 32MB of RAM, 15 inch monitors and no hard disks for $1000US each. This is a much cheaper alternative to deploying new Windows 95 boxes considering the cost of hardware, software, setup time and recurring maintenance. The hardware was also cheaper, and in our opinion better than even the dedicated X Terminal/Network Computer equipment that we originally investigated for this task.
The Linux/Alpha X Terminals boot over the network, NFS mount their root and usr file systems, and then open an xdm (X window manager) session on an XDMCP server. The window manager chosen for United's X Terminals was FVWM95. The engineers who have received these X Terminals rarely use MS Office type applications—Applixware is used to fill that occasional need. Netscape Navigator is used to access the URSGDOCS and Internet e-mail.
Figure 2. ApplixWord on X Terminal
The X Terminal model is working well. All of URSG's engineers have migrated to X Terminals. This has allowed United to continue to extend the useful lifespan of aging 386/486 class equipment by redeploying it in both X terminal and fat-client capacities in the wiring facilites and branch offices.
Our calculations show significant cost savings through utilizing slightly higher-end Linux-based X Terminals with fast Ethernet in place of the FAT- client CAD stations that United currently uses and deploys. PCC was a beta test site for Bentley's port of Microstation 95 to Linux. The port seemed flawless and was very promising; an academic release version has been shipping for several months. However, Bentley has not yet received the level of demand from Linux users that it deems necessary to support Microstation commercially on the Linux platform. We plan to continue to work with Bentley and to encourage the commercial release and support of Microstation for Linux.
An NCD Wincenter Multiuser NT server has been installed at URSG and more Alpha X Terminals deployed. Even administrative staff now have Linux-based X terminals on their desk. These staffers use Linux Netscape for Inter/Intranet access and e-mail, and they run office productivity applications (accounting, MS Word, MS Excel, etc.) on the Multiuser NT server.
URSG's Jacksonville wiring facility has moved to a new location, tripled in size, and had its connectivity to the main-office LAN upgraded from the 128K ISDN mentioned earlier to a 1.536MB T1.
PCC has added enhanced extranet functionality to URSGDOCS including a system designed specifically for use by CSX Transportation and all of its railway signal design contractors. This particular extranet section of URSGDOCS allows fast and well documented business transactions between CSX Transportation and its signal design contractors. The system allows contractors to make requests for circuit plans and CAD files, CSXT staffers fulfill those requests by uploading CAD files into URSGDOCS, then contractors can download those files. All transactions inside the system generate e-mail notifications to appropriate persons and to an e-mail alias that is used to archive all transactions. The transactions archive is full-text searchable and browseable. The system has been in operation since July 10, 1997 and averages approximately 2000 transactions and 500MB of compressed CAD file transfers per month.
As new systems and functionality have been added to URSGDOCS, it has been migrated to a Dual 200MHz Pentium Pro Linux server with 128MB RAM. The ursgfS1 machine has been upgraded to a uni-processor 200MHz Pentium Pro Linux server with 64MB RAM. The Wincenter server resides on Dual 150MHz Pentium Pro hardware with 128MB RAM.
Unix, in particular Linux, combined with the GNU tools, can change a company's technology spending focus allowing it to move away from a larger, under-skilled IS staff to a smaller, higher-skilled staff or to outsourcing. A move to either results in a company receiving more reliable and more customized solutions that can easily evolve to the company's changing needs over time.
Yes, Linux means business. The work that we at Progressive Computer Concepts have done with United Railway Signal Group is a wonderful example.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

October 11, 2012 | amazing bass, low power |
3 of 7 people found the following review helpful:
Review by
Patrick from chino valley, AZ
I have one of these in the trunk of my 92 accord in a ported box i made and its paired with a 150w rms kenwood amp. When i turn it up, my mirrors are just about totally useless, just a blur. People can hear me over a 1/4 mile away (me and friends have tested this). I bought a small spl meter that maxes at 125db, and well, it gets maxed when my bass hits. I would like to find something else to see exactly just how loud this is. People always guess i have at least 2 subs with some big power, but nope. Just this one kicker 12 and a small amp. If you are looking for some serious thump on a very low budget, this is for you. You wont be dissapointed.
Cons - Neighbors dislike me bolts coming loose on car broke rearview mirror

Customer Reviews Lame - they don`t respect your privacyBeware, you can only use this application if you are willing to give your email address to the developer. You can`t use it until you register with your email account. So even if you pay for it, if you value your privacy, you can`t use it. Great!!Amazing Trekkie app, a couple additions I want to see, users should be able to friend another user and see when they have a new log entry, as well as maybe a way to actually use the communicator and speak/message that person, only if they accept friend request. Best app everHands down one of the most satisfying apps I`ve ever purchased, well worth more than 99 cents. A must for any trek fan (not much more is as satisfying as shaking your device and hearing the communicator sound from the show).

Riot, based on the information that we have been exposed to, I have two comments. 1. The original Trundle had a unique aesthetic and build that is being dropped for the new build. It seems to me that the creativity that was present in his original design is being traded for badassery, which I feel is a mistake. 2. The original Trundle's base lore painted him as actually a good guy despite his ugliness which played well into his snarkiness and dry humor, and the Journey into Freljord paints him as a rogue brute. Again, I feel this is a mistake. There are plenty of badasses about the League. It doesn't hurt to lose one to keep variety and preserve one of our more cartoony champs, which are an increasingly small percentage of what is available to us. I will reserve final judgment until I see the total result of your efforts, but please keep these concerns in mind as you evolve the update to Trundle.

I'm concerned with the connection to Lissandra. We're talking about some legendary ice-witch, and yet we have no idea what kind of power Lissandra uses. I feel like there's some foreshadowed connection between Lissandra and the Ice-Witch, since we know for one thing that Lissandra is almost definitely a mage, by looking at her leaked recommended items. I can't wait to see what Lissandra does in the fourth journal.

You know, it's kind of funny. Trundle's lore blurb gave me one impression of him and his judgement a completely different one. I remember liking the former, not caring too much for the latter, and not knowing where he might be going. The answer, it seems, is a wholly disconnected third option. From a peaceful band of trolls to a warlike one. From someone who gave himself for a noble sacrifice to a troll barking orders. From the runt of the litter to the king. Really, other than this being a troll, I have no idea what this is supposed to have in common with Trundle. The sad thing is this went from interesting story without a hook to generic troll. Also, going by this track record we have: Ashe's home city: Safe! Allied town one: Terrified! Allied town two: Sacked! Allied town three: Defected! Allied town four: Sacked! So...I know you're trying to show the fierceness of the the other factions in Frejord, but there are ways of doing this that don't involve making joining Ashe seem like a very bad idea, because all we've seen of Ashe in these expeditions is that she's a very nice person who's not very capable of defending her allies. Also, I really think you can make Trundle a troll king in Frejord, without making him a brutal alpha troll king. Hopefully nuance and development is forthcoming. Edit: Just corrected it so it actually makes sense. I don't remember having been drunk when I typed this, but apparently...

My last issue about Sinknight sounded as if people were targeting me. I guess no likes me
I had read a college report of the definition of jerk (person).

So I think jerks, are Jerky because thay can't help it. or don't know they are jerks. | Side: Why do people act like jerks!
Alternative: https://www.youtube.com/ hey, hey, you know! Also, bitchez love jerks! P.s. I love the way that beat start! | Side: Why do people act like jerks!
Why do people act like jerks? a. to be rude and gain pleasure/respect for oneself b. to annoy the other person c. they act like jerks unwillingly, it is their natural character. your opinion is that they are a jerk. d. because you're ignorant. e. to defend themselves f+. other | Side: Why do people act like jerks!

Tagged with: | Design, Environmentalism, Politics, Posters, Technology, War |
The whole slide show is worth a look, but here are some favorites:
Unknown Pleasures, Joy Division (Factory, 1979), Image: Factory Records
This was the first and only time that the band gave me something that they'd like for a cover. I went to see Rob Gretton, who managed them, and he gave me a folder of material, which contained the wave image from the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy. They gave me the title too but I didn't hear the album. The wave pattern was so appropriate.
True Faith, New Order (Factory, 1987), Image: Factory Records
This was a first work from real life. In 1986, I happened to have a trauma in my personal life and it made me very attuned to the world around me. Suddenly, I had no filters. I was parking the car one night and a leaf drifted by the window and I thought, 'That's so beautiful.' It was framed by the windscreen, which is probably why I saw it as an image. So we did a leaf. I went to Windsor Great Park with photographer Trevor Key, came back with about 50 leaves and shot two or three until we found the right one. It had to be the right shape and look like it was falling. There was no digital manipulation at this point. I still have the leaf although I keep thinking that one day it will fall apart.
Total, Joy Division & New Order (Rhino, 2011), Image: Rhino Records
...I realised this was a record that would be sold in supermarkets and advertised on television. So the cover has a 'pile it high, sell it cheap' aesthetic....

Late in August, the Pew Research Center released a poll that showed 58% of Americans believe the rich should pay higher taxes; only 26% believe the rich pay their "fair share."
No American writer of the past century expressed more contempt for this type of "populism" than H.L. Mencken. The "Sage of Baltimore" detested the vox populi, saying the wishes of the "people" were "the infantile philosophies of the mob."
Mencken loathed class warfare of the type we often see in modern politics, criticizing the common man for his envy of the rich. "He hates the plutocrats of the cities, not only because they best him in the struggle for money, but also because they spend their gains on debaucheries that are beyond him," Mencken wrote in 1926. "The seeds of his disaster, as I have shown, lie in his own stupidity: He can never get rid of the naive delusion - so beautifully Christian! - that happiness is something to be got by taking it away from the other fellow."
The rhetoric Mencken abhorred never went away; while he was fighting FDR's New Deal back then, populism colors virtually every partisan campaign currently raging in America. President Barack Obama rarely gives a speech without saying that "millionaires and billionaires" should pay their "fair share."
One of the few policy proposals Democratic Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin is willing to embrace is the so-called Buffett Rule, which would apply a higher tax rate on those making over $1 million per year, or about 0.3% of taxpayers.
In the presidential race, Obama's class warfare rhetoric helps paint Mitt Romney as an out-of-touch millionaire, unaware of the needs of "the people." Certainly, this has been the criticism of Republicans in general for decades.
But recently, Romney has been moving toward a more populist line of argument. Granted, Romney will never be confused with "Fighting Bob" La Follette. But the Romney-Paul Ryan tax plan would eliminate most tax deductions while lowering the top individual and corporate tax brackets from 35% to 25%. Not only would lowering the rate make America more internationally competitive, they argue, but eliminating deductions would broaden the tax base and end the system of "crony capitalism" that favors some businesses over others.
At a slate of town hall meetings in his district in April 2011, Ryan began test-driving this more populist message. Ryan pointed out how unfair the tax-deduction system is - decrying the fact that the top 1% of income earners use over 90% of deductions. When he cited the unfairness of General Electric's making billions of dollars in profit and paying no taxes, his constituents, Republican and Democrat alike, all nodded their heads in agreement.
It is clear that this message resonates with voters of both parties. In each debate, Baldwin herself has railed against special interest tax code exemptions for big business. In a recent column, Baldwin said she was troubled by the fact that "the system is full of tax loopholes, corporate giveaways and carve-outs for millionaires and billionaires." Exactly Ryan's point.
The tax code isn't the only place Romney and Ryan have tried to make inroads with populist voters. In Ryan's plan to save Medicare, he means-tests benefits: Those with higher incomes will be asked to pay more for coverage, while the poor will receive more aid.
Last week in Ohio, Ryan gave a lengthy speech about poverty in America, declaring that "in the war on poverty, poverty is winning." (During the campaign, you often hear the term "middle class" but rarely hear about the "poor" - sadly, they might be invoked more frequently if they voted more often.) Ryan's speech was a surprise to those who feel Republicans have forgotten about those with lower incomes.
Clearly, Romney and Ryan have eschewed acerbic Mencken-style attempts to defend the rich. In ethicist Jonathan Haidt's new book, he points out that the best way to win an argument is to appeal to individual intuition and not reason; put yourself in voters' hearts, not their heads.
This may be new territory for Republican candidates, but it could end up being determinative on Nov. 6.

SHE DRIVES ME UP THE WALL She drives me up the wall like a slave-driver O yes, she does ! but even though she may wield the rod in her hand ever so threateningly at me At the slightest suspicion of insubordination, Leaving me cowering with fear, I love her just the same, Perhaps much more than I 've ever loved anybody else before! I may 've become certifiable as a result, who knows, But whatever the case may be, pray don't judge me harshly until you 've heard me out. I love her for the same farcical reason that Socrates Ostensibly loved that cantankerous woman Xantippe. By temperament and upbringing, I find a woman who Stands up to a man much more appealing than one Who's obsequious and complaisant! What happened to me, therefore, was no accident but a quantum leap; I had no control what so ever over the turn of events That got us this far in our fledgling relationship. Ever since I met her, my life, which had hitherto been Fairly peaceful and uneventful, has, all of a sudden, Taken a dramatic turn. And like a minx, she has so turned my head around I can't tell for certain whether I am coming or I am going! Suffice to say I've been acting up silly and rather foolishly For a grown up person (I don't know whether or not I still Have any semblance of an ego left, what with this Attractive je ne sais quoi I find so irresistible about her!) Oh no, don't tell me I've been doing this all for the Wrong reasons ! or that I am laying it on thick. It's only me who knows exactly what I am feeling. Besides, I am not talking morals here, I am talking About what it feels like to love somebody to a fault. If she did walk out on me now I can guarantee you That would certainly be the death of me! I am sure that's not what you would all like To see happen to me just yet unless of course You've been spoiling for my death while pretending to be my friends. When all else is said and done, I'd rather be Henpecked than let go of this maverick specimen of womankind Who has lodged herself in my life uninvited, Making it her home, and has since then never failed To drive me up the wall like a slave-driver with her rod. Not only is she good sport, but like a morning Star she's such fun to be with, I promise you! OLIVER MUKEMU
Lord Lead Our way Bring Peace again to Our day Dispel this darkness From which it grew Bless this spirits soul anew Quench this thirst Behold our Lords Chalice Baptized Immersed Cleansed Upon the Lords Throne Convert Hate to Love Fear to Acceptance Selfishness to Restitution Arrogance to Humble Drink the Spirit of God And once again Freedom will be Yours Lord Lead Our Way........
Hang yourself from that family tree, cut it down build a coffin for you and me. I ain't got time for that threshin' floor. Not the first time I've felt the inside of a warm body cavity and understood. Stretch the flesh, and visions told. Prophesies rot within bleached skulls. The sun knows no mercy for its decimation. I ain't got time for that threshin' floor. Drag my belly across that killin' floor, Welcome lil' girl this slow death we call life. Well the fiend's they cometh from deep within the woods. Filth, filth… divine visions. We're ganna Bleed upon clover. Consumed by Clouded thoughts, numb tongued with a haunted stare. Moonstruck, finger tips meet broken flesh. Survival, it is a killer. We got Graves without faces and we're cursed to wander as the sun burns a hole in the sky... Carve me a smile,we got Bones in a pile. What we do in them woods is holy. O' it feels so good to be washed from sin, that blood of lamb tastes divine. My sweet sweet lord, he's up above. It's a nightmare made flesh kinda' Sunday. Gatta' love that velvety God flesh in your mouth. ...And her womb spews forth blasphemy, and her lips uttered deceit. Black alter. The trail of dead ends at your doorstep, the stream of blood rests at your feet.
