Watch The Weeknd's New 'Live For' Video Featuring Drake
Despite sounding somewhat upbeat on the hook of the track 'Live For,' The Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye makes it clear he's still a loner in his new video.
Despite sounding somewhat upbeat on the hook of the track 'Live For,' The Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye makes it clear he's still a loner in his new video.
Despite releasing a video previewing new music in that once-typical mysterious manner of his just a few days ago, The Weeknd sheds the secrecy and gives fans a full listen of his new 'Kiss Land' album before it arrives next week.
The Weeknd's once-mysterious personality might be all but gone after he was pushed into the limelight, but that's not stopping him from maintaining an air of secrecy surrounding his music.
As the anticipation builds for 'Kiss Land,' the Weeknd has some more information about his new album. This time, we're getting a good look at the track list, including the bonus cuts.
Six hundred fans of the Weeknd received a limited-edition New Era snapback made in collaboration with his brand, XO, at a June concert at Toronto's Mod Club. And now, the rest of the world can get their hands on the headwear.
The Weeknd just dropped a new collaboration with Drake called 'Live For' off his upcoming 'Kiss Land' album.
It was just yesterday that the Weeknd uploaded the audio for his then-latest track, 'Belong to the World,' but he's back this evening with 'Love in the Sky.'
'Belong to the World' is the dramatic single off the Weeknd's upcoming 'Kiss Land' album, and it hits the web in its audio form several weeks after the video dropped.
The Weeknd stays having some of the most alluring visuals in music. After taking us on an Anime-styled sexual trip in 'Kiss Land,' Abel Tesfaye invites us deeper into his gloomy thoughts -- and also into Japan's underbelly -- in the video-come-short film for 'Belong to the World.'

philips lcd tv 32pfl7403d humming noise
grahamdcpSeptember 25, 2008
My son recently bought a Philips lcd tv model 32pfl7403d
the problem he found was when the volume is set down low he can here an annoying humming noise. I got him to disconnect everything and just have the power lead connected and the noise is still there. Normally it wouldn't be a problem because usually the volume is up loud. But at night time when laying in bed he puts the volume down lower as not to wake other members of the household up. This is when it becomes a problem as the hum is heard over the volume of the show he may be watching. The hum itself comes from inside the tv and not the speakers. Has anyone else experienced this problem and is it fixable?

Help! Please! I need to remove front panel of washing machine
My top loading, Kenmore Elite Whirlpool washer is leaking. It's about five years old. I'm not sure of the model name and all the paperwork is still packed away.
Do you know how I remove the front panel? The washer developed a serious leak this evening. Water is running out from under the washer, near the front. It is not leaking from the hoses that fill the washer, nor from the big hose that drains the water out.
Any help you can offer will be so appreciated.
I would say that you should NEVER tip a washing machine unless the owner's manual says it is safe to do so. Why? Because on many models, tipping it causes it to leak oil, and once it has started it will never stop. That's why when we bought our new washing machine I made sure that the front panel is removable for servicing.
Caroline, you can look up the owner's manual online. Look at your machine -- lift the lid and read the stuff that's on the inside of it. There has got to be a clue as to the model name or number. At the very least, take a good look at it, and you will recognize it on the Kenmore Elite Whirlpool web site - then check the manual.
Usually - if you look in the seam of the top of the front panel and the lip of the top of the machine, there are two clips there. Slide something long and thin in there, like a putty knife - you'll have to push a little hard. Be careful not to scrap the finish on the panel though.
Good luck!

Ron Dobson became London Fire Commissioner in 2007 having risen through the ranks since joining the Brigade in 1979.
In 1996 as Divisional Commander, Ron was one of the first senior officers at the scene of the Canary Wharf bomb blast where he coordinated the painstaking search of the incident.
He has been central to the preparations for responding to the threat of terrorism, working closely with the government and our partners. During the 2005 London bombings he was the Brigade's Senior Operational Commander.
Ron was awarded the Queen's Fire Service Medal in 2005 and was awarded a CBE in the 2011 New Year honours.
Rita Dexter joined the Brigade as Director of Corporate Services in 2001, where she was responsible for legal and democratic services, communications, strategy and performance and Information Technology. She was promoted to Deputy Commissioner in November 2009.
Aged 16, Rita began her local authority career as a junior clerk in 1979 at Birmingham City Council. In 1993 she moved on to work at the Department of the Environment, where she specialised in the powers and duties of local authorities.
In 1995 she joined Barnet Council where she spent six years. She left Barnet Council as the Deputy Chief Executive to join the Brigade.
In 2013 Rita was awarded the OBE in the Queen's birthday honours list.
Sue Budden joined the Brigade as Head of Finance in 2006. She began her career at Coopers and Lybrand in Norwich (now Price Waterhouse Coopers) as a public sector auditor at the start of their development of public sector work. Sue then moved to London to work in local government while completing her CIPFA qualification, working at Westminster, Southwark and Hackney councils.
In 2000 Sue took up senior positions at the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) and from there to the Cabinet Office heading up both finance departments, before progressing to Director of Finance and Corporate Services at the British Transport Police (BTP). She left BTP to join the Brigade.

George Will takes issue with the notion that Sonia Sotomayor "saved baseball":
"The president is a gentleman and a scholar and a great ornament to our society, but he's not a great baseball historian," Will told us.
"He says that when she ended the baseball impasse that was interrupting play in 1994 and 1995, she saved baseball," Will says. "Far from it. What she did was overturn in a sense, the essence, the underlies, the essential theory of American labor relations, which is the parties should slug it out because they know best and whoever wins, wins."
Really? The essential theory of American labor relations involves management having a monopoly by virtue of being exempted from antitrust law? That's George Will's idea of a fair negotiating situation in which "whoever wins, wins"?
By the way, Will serves as a director of both the Baltimore Orioles and the San Diego Padres, meaning that his views on baseball labor relations are not exactly impartial.
More Will:
Will says that "in fact, what she did was take sides, took union's side against the management, and in so-doing, wasted 262 days of negotiations. That, far from saving baseball, consigned baseball to seven more years of an unreformed economic system, which happened to be the seven worst years in terms of competitive balance."
I don't know how Will defines "competitive balance," but I do know that however he defines it, 1995-2001 aren't the "seven worst years." Just to take the simplest possible definition: The New York Yankees won 6 World Series in the 7 years from 1947-1953. Four different teams won the 7 World Series played during Will's "seven worst years in terms of competitive balance." If Will wants to provide a different definition of "competitive balance," I'll explain why he's wrong based on that definition, too.
UPDATE: To that last point, here's Bill James in his 2001 book The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract: "the method I have established to measure competitive balance does show that overall competitive balance was greater in the 1990s than in any other period of baseball history." James is an actual baseball expert; Will just plays on on TV. James doesn't specifically address the competative balance of the years 1995-2001, but it's a pretty safe bet that if the 1990s as a whole featured greater competative balance than any other decade in history, 1995-2001 must not have been the "seven worst years," as Will claims.
CNN is running a package by reporter Jim Acosta that is full of baseless conservative spin about Sonia Sotomayor.
First, conservative Wendy Long is shown on-camera claiming that Sotomayor is "very much a liberal judicial activist." Long doesn't explain what that means, give any examples, or explain why it would be a bad thing. Nor is she asked to do so. Nor does anyone point out that, by one study, Clarence Thomas is the most "activist" member of the Supreme Court. Long is simply allowed to offer a baseless and empty talking point.
Then, Acosta presents "Exhibit A" in the Right's case against Sotomayor: a video clip of the judge saying the court of appeals is where policy is made. Acosta notes "Sotomayor's critics say that's judicial activism. In other words, legislating from the bench." Acosta does not, however, note that those same critics are in favor of judicial activism - as long as the judges in question are conservatives. More importantly, the clip - and the conservative arguments Acosta passes on - take Sotomayor's comment out of context. In reality, she was simply explaining the difference between district and appeals courts. But Acosta didn't include that explanation, much less make clear that it is the truth, and the conservative complaints are misleading.
Here's The Weekly Standard's Michael Goldfarb:
Does anyone dispute that Sotomayor has been the recipient of preferential treatment for most of her life? She played a role in the hiring of a dean at Princeton -- how many alums got that kind of treatment while they were undergraduates?
Well, gee, I don't know. How many alums won Princeton's highest academic prize? Goldfarb seems to think that being among a select few is synonymous with getting preferential treatment. It isn't. Maybe Sotomayor was chosen to serve on the advisory board on the strength of her academic accomplishments. Or maybe the fact that she -- according to Goldfarb -- "launch[ed] a public campaign" to influence Princeton's hiring had a little something to do with it. In other words, maybe she earned it. But that thought apparently hasn't crossed Goldfarb's mind; he thinks the only possible explanation is that she was a woman and a minority.
(And if Goldfarb thinks that in 1974, Sotomayor's white male classmates had less influence via their wealthy and connected parents over Princeton's administration than did Sotomayor and he fellow Latinas, he's delusional.)
Then Goldfarb argues that Sotomayor "appears to have received preferential treatment" because a law firm recruiting Yalies apologized for "insensitive and regrettable" questions asked of Sotomayor.
See, if a law firm asks a student who won Princeton University's highest academic prize whether she would have gotten into Yale if she wasn't Puerto Rican, then apologizes for the question, that means -- according to Michael Goldfarb -- the student is getting preferential treatment.
Karl Rove - the genius who sent his candidate to an un-winnable state in the closing days of the closest presidential race in American history - isn't sure Sonia Sotomayor is smart.
Rove explains: "I know lots of stupid people who went to Ivy League schools."
You might assume Rove was referring to a certain former boss of his who attended Yale and Harvard Business School. But, as Think Progress notes, Rove has previously pointed to George W. Bush's graduation from those schools as evidence of his intelligence.
So, let's get this straight: George W. Bush got into Yale because his rich daddy and his Senator granddaddy both went there. While at Yale, Bush compiled an unspectacular academic record. Karl Rove says that's evidence Bush is smart. Sonia Sotomayor went from the projects of the South Bronx to Princeton University, where she won the school's highest academic prize. Karl Rove says that doesn't mean she's smart.
I'm starting to think nobody should ever listen to anything Karl Rove has to say.
Here's Cillizza at washingtonpost.com:
If the ultimate goal for Republicans is to defeat Obama in 2012, then the Sotomayor pick presents them with a golden opportunity to cast the president as a traditional liberal -- far from the post-partisan figure he was able to present to the American public in the 2008 election.
A couple problems here. Cillizza provides no evidence to back up the claim that the Sotomayor pick would allow Republicans to portray Obama as a "traditional liberal." (i.e. There's no indication that's how voters see the nomination.) But more importantly, Cillizza doesn't indicate why that would be a problem. I realize Republicans assume that Americans would never elect a liberal president, but why does Cillizza simply accept that GOP premise? Why does he claim that, "Re-defining Obama as a liberal is, without question, Republicans best path to the White House."
The fact is that 2008 polling indicated that voters viewed Obama as a liberal when they awarded him an electoral landslide election over John McCain. According to an October 2008, Pew Research Center poll, a majority of swing voters viewed Obama as "liberal" (Obama was seen as about as far to the left as John McCain is to the right), and a clear majority of those voters sided with Obama's agenda.
And excuse me, but didn't the entire GOP campaign in 2008 revolve around the fact that Obama was supposedly the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate? Republicans hammered Obama for months as being a liberal, but Cillizza seems to think voters were blind to the candidate's progressive agenda.
Voters weren't somehow fooled during the campaign. They understood Obama represented the liberal candidate and, in overwhelming numbers, they selected him over the conservative one. Cillizza, embracing the center-right myth about American politics, seems to push the idea that if Republicans, between now and 2012, can successfully paint Obama as a liberal than they could seriously dent his chances for re-election.
There's just no proof of that.
National Journal's Stuart Taylor doesn't think much of Sonia Sotomayor (for now; he's already had to admit that some of his pre-selection criticisms of Sotomayor were "unfair.")
But it has long been clear that Stuart Taylor should not be taken seriously.
See, in 1996, Taylor wrote a buzz-generating article for American Lawyer arguing that Paula Jones had a strong case against Bill Clinton.
In fact, it was obvious that Paula Jones had no case against Bill Clinton. Not because it was obvious Jones was lying, but because -- as Judge Susan Webber Wright ultimately ruled -- even if everything Jones said was true, she had no "genuine issues" worthy of trial. Jones hadn't even alleged any tangible harm that she suffered as a result of Clinton's alleged advances.
So, it isn't just that Taylor was wrong in his assessment of Jones' case, it's that he was spectacularly wrong. Taylor thought Jones had a strong case; the judge ruled that Jones had no case whatsoever. That even if everything she said was true (even the things that contradicted each other) she simply did not have a valid lawsuit.
So why on earth would anyone ever trust Stuart Taylor's judgment?
Now, let's add a couple more facts to the mix: while he was touting Paula Jones' non-existent case against the president, he was referring to Clinton aides as his "cronies," suggesting a certain lack of impartiality. Worse, Taylor was negotiating for a job in Ken Starr's office while appearing on television and in print to offer supposedly neutral assessments of Starr's investigation.
So why on earth would anyone ever trust Stuart Taylor's impartiality?
UPDATE: Adam Serwer dismantles Taylor's assessment of Sotomayor. Here's a taste:
What people like Taylor find so offensive about Sotomayor's statement is that it properly exposes the perspective of white, Christian heterosexual men as specific to their experience, rather than the omniscient eye of G-d they're used to presenting it as. Does anyone seriously believe Dred Scott or Plessy v. Fergueson would have been upheld by any court that had the remotest idea of what it was like to be black or a slave? Or similarly that the court would have held in Minor v. Happersett that being a citizen didn't mean you had a right to vote if you were a woman? Do we really believe that judges in these cases were "simply upholding the law" in the absence of the cultural and social prejudices of their times?
Go read the rest.
From Mark Krikorian's May 27 post on the National Review Online's The Corner:
It Sticks in My Craw [Mark Krikorian]
Most e-mailers were with me on the post on the pronunciation of Judge Sotomayor's name (and a couple griped about the whole Latina/Latino thing - English dropped gender in nouns, what, 1,000 years ago?). But a couple said we should just pronounce it the way the bearer of the name prefers, including one who pronounces her name "freed" even though it's spelled "fried," like fried rice. (I think Cathy Seipp of blessed memory did the reverse - "sipe" instead of "seep.") Deferring to people's own pronunciation of their names should obviously be our first inclination, but there ought to be limits. Putting the emphasis on the final syllable of Sotomayor is unnatural in English (which is why the president stopped doing it after the first time at his press conference), unlike my correspondent's simple preference for a monophthong over a diphthong, and insisting on an unnatural pronunciation is something we shouldn't be giving in to.
For instance, in Armenian, the emphasis is on the second syllable in my surname, just as in English, but it has three syllables, not four (the "ian" is one syllable) - but that's not how you'd say it in English (the "ian" means the same thing as in English - think Washingtonian or Jeffersonian). Likewise in Russian, you put the emphasis in my name on the final syllable and turn the "o" into a schwa, and they're free to do so because that's the way it works in their language. And should we put Asian surnames first in English just because that's the way they do it in Asia? When speaking of people in Asia, okay, but not people of Asian origin here, where Mao Tse-tung would properly have been changed to Tse-tung Mao. Likewise with the Mexican practice of including your mother's maiden name as your last name, after your father's surname.
This may seem like carping, but it's not. Part of our success in assimilation has been to leave whole areas of culture up to the individual, so that newcomers have whatever cuisine or religion or so on they want, limiting the demand for conformity to a smaller field than most other places would. But one of the areas where conformity is appropriate is how your new countrymen say your name, since that's not something the rest of us can just ignore, unlike what church you go to or what you eat for lunch. And there are basically two options -- the newcomer adapts to us, or we adapt to him. And multiculturalism means there's a lot more of the latter going on than there should be.
When Glenn Beck blogs:
Right now, it's the bottom of the ninth and we are down to our last out and our last strike. Will our government take strike three looking? Or, will they wake up and save the day with a heroic three pointer on a penalty shot?
And this was in the Journal's news pages, not even the anti-Sotomayor opinion pages. In general the Journal's Sotomayor reporting today is just awful, at least the political coverage of the pick. The Journal's analysis of her legal career is more insightful.
Here's a passage from the Journal's A1 news story:
Conservative opponents questioned the usefulness of "empathy" as a qualification. They will have ammunition as they seek to paint Ms. Sotomayor as a liberal activist and strong backer of affirmative action who would use the Supreme Court to make law, not interpret it. A video from Duke University in 2005 shows Ms. Sotomayor proclaiming the "court of appeals is where policy is made."
Reading right off GOP talking points, the Journal twice hypes the phony "empathy" card, pretending it's a very big deal. In fact, three times, because the newspaper devotes an entire, separate article to the issue. The Journal news team thinks its hugely significant that at some point Obama made a passing reference to "empathy" in terms of traits that would best suit a Supreme Court Justice. Interestingly though, the Journal never actually quotes Obama saying anything about empathy. Readers are just supposed to assume that Obama's made a big deal about it even though it's the GOP that's focused on the silly word game. (The Journal also plays dumb about the fact that Republican senators in the past have praised "empathy" while discussing possible SCOTUS picks.)
Nonetheless, the Murdoch's Journal dutifully plays along with the GOP's preferred narrative, not just with the "empathy" nonsense, but with the tape of Sotomayor at Duke saying the "court of appeals is where policy is made"? Without offering the slightest bit of context about the quote, the Journal states as fact that that quote will provide "ammunition" to her "conservative opponents."
This is simply the Journal bypassing actual journalism in favor of regurgitating GOP talking points. Not once but twice. Here's the newspaper's sidebar article:
[Critics] also circulated a YouTube video of a 2005 appearance at Duke University, where Ms. Sotomayor said that the "Court of Appeals is where policy is made." She joked that she shouldn't speak on tape, but went on to say the law percolated at the appellate-court level before its final interpretation by the Supreme Court.
The Journal makes no effort to provide any sort of context to the quote. The Journal also makes no effort to do what the Huffington Post recently did, which was interview legal scholars to see if Sotomayor's Duke quote was in any way controversial, let alone newsworthy.
Here's what the Huffpost found:
Eric Freedman, a law professor at Hofstra University, was equally dismissive of this emerging conservative talking point. "She was saying something which is the absolute judicial equivalent of saying the sun rises each morning. It is not a controversial proposition at all that the overwhelming quantity of law making work in the federal system is done by the court of appeals... It is thoroughly uncontroversial to anyone other than a determined demagogue."
Apparently the Journal would rather not have that kind of context collide with the rather shaky GOP talking points it presents as news.

Best of E3 2013
These are the games I saw at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo which I was most impressed by, and am most keen to play.
These are the games I saw at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo which I was most impressed by, and am most keen to play.
Game of the Show for me is Bungie's Destiny, the game which really, truly sold me on the next generation. Coming into the show, I wasn't sure that the PS4 or the Xbox One had anything to offer me, let alone wow me. Sony spent their entire Presser disabusing me of that notion, and Destiny was the showstopper. My jaw dropped. Destiny, I genuinely believe, is the next big thing.
I was aware of this game going into E3, as a fan of the Web Series that spawned it, but I hadn't seen much of it. It got a stage demo on the GameSpot E3 show and damn...This game looks amazing. It perfectly translates the Angry Video Game Nerd vibe into a playable form. I was blown away. This indie game, heading to PC and Nintendo Platforms, is sure to be a must.
Mario Kart, it is no secret, is my favourite franchise. I treat this game with the attention others afford games like Call of Duty. I can talk at length about the differences in balance and play style between every entry in the franchise. Mario Kart 8 is a "Greatest Hits" album of Mario Kart features, with some cool new ones of its own like gravity-defying and automagic highlight reels. And those graphics are beautiful - and they're native 1080p60. Wow. A Wii U System Seller for sure.
Killzone 2 ate up a lot of my time on the PlayStation 3, and Guerilla's next-gen outing for the franchise looks fantastic. I really liked seeing a totally different environment in the game from the one we saw at Sony's The Future of PlayStation Event. The game looks like an easy choice to own alongside a day one PS4.
I remember my brother and I finding the Abe's Oddysee demo on the original PlayStation. We were enthralled by its mad sense of humour. We found Abe's novel interactions with his fellow Oddworld inhabitants delightful. When Adam Boyes said they had Lorne Lanning onstage, and I noticed he was playing a remake of Abe's Oddysee...That was it. I was already onboard. I've since seen more of it. It looks even better having learnt more about it. A must-own.
Supergiant Games, fronted by beloved former GameSpot Editor in Chief Greg Kasavin (The company's Creative Director) has one hit in the approximate style of Transistor under its belt. Transistor looks set to make the lightning strike twice.
Sony and Evolution's Driveclub didn't grab me at its reveal during Sony's The Future of PlayStation event. They were too busy marvelling over the car models, which I wasn't particularly interested in hearing about. Having now heard more about the actual gameplay, I am totally onboard. Evolution's past work, on the Motorstorm franchise, has met with my approval (Motorstorm: Pacific Rift was my first PlayStation 3 game) and their vision with this game strikes me as intriguing. Throw in the fact that the game will be made available in the Instant Game Collection of PlayStation Plus, which I plan to subscribe to anyway, from launch, and you have a recipe for my interest being more than merely piqued.
Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs has been intriguing ever since its reveal at last year's E3. But it has also been too shrouded in mystery for me to really decide one way or another how excited I was to play it. The demo at Sony's Presser sold me on it completely.
I have never played an Assassin's Creed game. I came very close with last year's Assassin's Creed 3, but stopped short after hearing form critics that it had a few problems. Black Flag has me hooked, with an exciting theme (Pirates are always cool) and a great showing at E3. That demo, stalking through the plant life then jumping onto the exploding ships...It looked visually stunning, and something I could really enjoy experiencing for myself.
inFamous sold me based on its trailer alone. The tone of the game just seems incredibly appealing, and it looks like there's a lot of cool things to do. Definitely going to be worth checking out once the PS4 is released.
I don't even think I have to explain this, do I? It's a 3D Super Mario game, with four-player co-op and adorable cat costumes for the Mushroom Kingdom gang. And, like its Karting themed stablemate, it runs at native 1080p60. What's not to like?
I like the Sonic Franchise. Sonic is a great character, and the earlier games are masterpieces. But I haven't really enjoyed a 3D Sonic game...Well, ever. I haven't played the last couple of games admittedly, but that's because they didn't really grab my attention. Lost World, though, has. It reminds me, in a lot of ways, of the recent 3D games starring Sonic's new best friend Mario - the Galaxy games. I'd be completely unsurprised if Nintendo's 3D Mario team consulted with Sonic Team on this Nintendo-exclusive. The changes to speed control, and the stunning level design, make this game a strong candidate for best Sonic game ever - of any number of dimensions!
As is well-known, I am a die-hard Disney fan. This unlikely nostalgia trip has me hooked with delightful animation, fantastic music and sheer coolness. It's frankly amazing that this game exists - it's a remake of a relatively old tie-in to a long-dormant franchise. It's also absolutely brilliant that it exists. That it also looks utterly brilliant is merely the icing on the cake.
Another indie game which caught my eye at the show was the inventive Outlast, which puts the player in an asylum associated with the shady MKULTRA program, armed with nothing more than a camcorder. It's this "camcorder" hook which has me intrigued. I think that's a really interesting way of approaching the survival horror genre and - alongside PS4's native video sharing - will allow players to create their very own "Found Footage" horror films.
It's Pokémon, in 3D. Your ability to catch Pikachu has been restored. It's out the day before my birthday. And they have finally nerfed the comically overpowered Dragon Type by adding the new Fairy Type and making it Super Effective against Dragon. Day One Purchase material right there.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
20 Sep 2011 11:58 GMT | Sport, Fiji, Italy, Namibia, New Zealand
Italy illustrated the benefits of playing regular international test rugby when they routed Russia 53-17 in the only game at the World Cup on Tuesday, while players from the Pacific islands were in hot water with tournament officials. Captain Sergio Parisse was at the heart of his side's best moments in a dominant first half for the Italians, breaking tackles and linking backs with forwards as they jumped out to a 38-7 lead at halftime.Italy scored nine tries, one of which was a penalty try as their dominance at the scrum proved too much for Russia, and it was the first time they scored 50 points in a World Cup match. Italy joined the Six Nations in 2000 and the benefits of regular top-level competition were plain to see against weaker opposition. "We haven't often played against sides lower than us, in fact they are only the second team we have played in the last four years who are lower than us in the IRB rankings," Italy coach Nick Mallett said. "So I was a little bit nervous with how it was going to go but very pleased how we came through it." Prior to the match, more than 1,000 students from Nelson College performed a stirring haka on the steps of the city's cathedral to commemorate the first World Cup game to be held in the city.Nelson College was the site of the first organised game of rugby in New Zealand in 1870, and a reenactment of the match took place with 18-players dressed in replica period costumes on each side.
Fiji's Dominiko Waqaniburotu fell foul of tournament officials when he was banned for three weeks for a dangerous tackle on South Africa's Pat Lambie in their match on Saturday. The suspension means the 25-year-old's World Cup is effectively over unless Fiji embark on an unlikely run to the last four as he will not be eligible to return until October 10 - the day after the completion of the quarter-finals. Samoa centre Eliota Sapolu Fuimaono escaped censure after apologising for a Twitter rant in which he said his side's treatment by the IRB was "like slavery, like the holocaust, like apartheid" in reference to their playing schedule. The Pacific islanders play all four of their Pool D games in 16 days and were pipped by Wales 17-10 on Sunday, just four days after they had played Namibia which prompted his outburst.

The Fast and the Furious actress Jordana Brewster is a stunning actress, that many women would love to be and many men would love to be with. So what does it take to become such a beautiful young woman? What foods does she eat and what exercise does she do?
Jordana has given an insight into her diet and fitness regime, explaining, "I drink a lot of water and working out helps, as well as eating whole foods. I'm not a vegetarian but I think trying to eat organic and trying to eat local is really important."
She added, "I don't eat red meat because it started grossing me out and I love animals. But I eat as many greens and vegetables and whole grains [as I can]."
Jordana Brewster can next be seen on the big screen, reprising her role as Mia Toretto, in the hit movie sequel The Fast and the Furious 6, which will also once again star Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson and is set to be released in both the US and the UK on May 24, 2013.

Hey NCbeernut, hope Raleigh is treating you well--I used to have family on Brooks Avenue and spent a lot of time there...
Thanks much for the recipe. I am going to try it at the end of this week. Quick question--you mentioned possibly adding a bourbon vanilla bean in the secondary--how long are you leaving the batch in your primary before moving it over? Does the recipe benefit from leaving it in the primary for a longer time period before moving it to the secondary?
Thanks again!
If you brew it, they will come...
When I plug this recipe into Promash (and Beer Calculus), my IBU prediction is in the 44.7+ range (assuming 14% AA). This is significantly more than the 27 IBU shown on the recipe, and it seems quite hoppy for the style.
Is everyone using the actual hops and recommended ounces, or are you shooting for the 27 IBU's based on your hop calculator. I'm inclined to follow the recipe rather than the calculated IBU's. Just curious.
This is on schedule for this weekend. Looking forward to trying it in... ugh, six weeks time!!!
Only issue I see (and it's not really an "issue" per se) is when I tapped the recipe into Beertools, the color is coming up a bit light. Doing a 10 gallon batch (all grain):
15lb 2-Row
3lb White Wheat
2lb Caramel/Crystal Malt 60L
1.5lb Chocolate Malt
1lb Roasted Barley
1lb Lactose
Is giving me a color of 26.67 SRM, as opposed to the 36 in the original recipe?
I *may* have the willpower to let it sit through the summer. It's gonna start getting toasty soon, so will be focusing on the pale ales and blondes to get me through the dog days, and could POSSIBLY put the keg of this in the cellar, and *forget* about it...!
It'd better be the best damned stout I've ever had, the way you lot have hyped it up!

A Menomonee Falls man is facing multiple charges for leading police on a slow speed chase after an officer attempted to pull him over for an equipment violation on Sept. 25.
According to the police report:
An officer in a marked patrol squad attempted to pull the suspect's truck over for a nonworking left brake light and seatbelt violation on Rivercrest Road and Shady Lane at about 2:25 a.m. However, the suspect failed to stop and continued driving away from the officer.
The driver led the officer on a one-mile chase at speeds that never exceeded 27 miles per hour, and failed to stop at a red light on County Line Road and Richfield Way. During the chase, the driver was observed using his cellphone, which he later admitted using to call home in preparation to elude police.
When the suspect and officer arrived at a residence on County Line Road and Shady Lane, a high-risk traffic stop was conducted and the suspect was ordered to place his hands outside the truck door. When additional officers arrived on the scene, the suspect, a 21-year-old Menomoneee Falls man, was taken into custody.
The suspect freely admitted to the arresting officers that he had a marijuana joint and pipe in the center console of his truck, and the items were collected by police. The suspect also had no insurance, was driving with a revoked driving status which required an Ignition Interlock Device in his vehicle, and was found to have an outstanding warrant with Washington County for possession of a controlled substance.
He was arrested and cited for misdemeanor eluding, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia and an ignition interlock device, and was transported to Waukesha County Jail.

Autumn Seeds in Ottawa.....
Dear friends let this be an encouragement to you. The work continues in Ottawa! Pray for Paul and Kim... Paul: This is a short compilation video of some of the gospel spreading work my wife, Kim, and I did from one end of the city to the other this past fall in our spare time. Well, actually the Lord provided the time and we took advantage of the opportunities. My hope is that this will be of encouragement to those who are prayerfully contemplating doing street evangelism in 2015 wherever they may be. There are many ways to spread gospel seeds and one no more important than the other. Christ is Lord and Savior! Spread the word. "And he has committed us to the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us." 2 Cor 5:20

Mission Ottawa 2014: Day 4
Our fourth and final day of Mission Ottawa saw us take some time for ourselves for a change with a few shopping errands for the boys of Georgia and a lunch treat at a Five Guys hamburger joint. Vernon and Wayne twisted my arm to get me to go and I have to confess, I've been converted! Mmmm gooood!
Our time on the street was shorter than usual but not without effect. We made our annual appearance during the four o'clock rush hour at the Metcalfe Street transit station where Vernon held the cross, Kim handed out tracts as Wayne and I took turns proclaiming the gospel to the waiting (and seemingly indifferent) commuters.
This was the same bus station where last year at this time I happened to film a man named David who was waiting for a bus and whose heart was being warmed to the hearing of the gospel by the faithful and powerful preaching of brother Robert Gray. As it turned out, David's heart was softened and as God had it be he died just three weeks later, no doubt ushered into the glory and rewards of heaven through His Saviour.
The bus terminal was busy. As Wayne proclaimed the gospel, Satan attempted to shut him down through the protest of a woman shouting the familiar line, "Nobody wants to listen to you!" Kim immediately intervened and successfully led her away from him and tried to reason with her. The women refused to hear her plea but did not pursue the silencing.
As I preached the gospel on two separate occasions, two men tried the same thing, loudly trying to convince me to shut up and take the message elsewhere. It didn't work and the full gospel was presented. And, despite what the hecklers might have assumed, there WERE those in the crowd who were clearly listening the word of God being preached.
Following our time there, we headed for one of the bridges that cross over to the Province of Quebec. There with four of our crosses, including one with that asks, "Are You Ready" in French, we stood in line about 40 feet from each other for over a half an hour as hundreds of cars made their way across the provincial border with many more eyes falling upon the messages, planting seeds of contemplation for some we are sure.
Mission Ottawa 2014 is now over. Vernon and Wayne are done but only for now. They have left for Toronto where they will join Bill and Jenny Baker for "Mission Toronto" for three days of gospel spreading before heading home to Georgia.
We are so grateful to the Lord for giving us yet another opportunity to put on Mission Ottawa. It is such a special time of the year for those of us involved. We are grateful for God's kind provisions, His grace and His power to help us "boldly make known the mystery of the gospel" to the lost of Ottawa. We are already looking forward to Mission Ottawa 2015.
Thank you, Lord, for the joy and the privilege it is to serve you and bring you glory in the process.

Mission Ottawa 2014: Day 3
Another busy day on the streets of Ottawa, our third day, was a arduous and fruitful one. The Lord was gracious to provide us with another beautiful day to bring and proclaim the gospel in the downtown core where thousands seemed to be streaming through the streets due to the many festivals going on simultaneously in the area.
One thing we enjoyed seeing was having Zoe Curry join us on Elgin Street to hand out tracts. She is the youngest daughter of Chris Curry and is all of seven years old. It was her first time helping out with Mission Ottawa and gladly gave out 45 gospel tracts to passersby in the short time she was there. Thank you, Zoe!
The only heckling we received was when I preached the gospel to a long lineup of people waiting on the sidewalk in front of a centre town church where the world renowned Montreal Jubilee Gospel Choir was set to perform an array of gospel songs.
Yes, heckled by a woman in the lineup who was offended by the gospel being preached before hearing the gospel being sung. We handed out gospel tracts for the next 20 minutes to those who arrived for the concert after the lineup was let in.
All in all, it was a great day in the giving and proclamation of God's saving message. Praise God!

Mission Ottawa 2014: Day 2
A wonderful thing happened as we were searching for a parking space in a very busy downtown Ottawa. by God's providence, we happened upon the likes of Mike Stockwell, Chris Sippley and Kevin Kelley of Jeremiah Cry Ministries, and their families, as they made their way back to their vehicle to leave after a time of evangelism in the downtown core. Knowing we were to be in the vicinity, as well, they had apparently been on a trek seeking us out to visit with us downtown. We chatted for a while on the sidewalk and will continue the fellowship tonight at their campsite before they leave to continue their cross country mission trip across Canada. It was good to see them.
As was our experience yesterday, a beautiful summer like day brought out great multitudes of people to hear and receive the gospel in the downtown core of Ottawa. Well, they didn't exactly come out to hear the gospel preaching as though that was in their plans to do so but they did end up hearing it, some for some of it and some who actually stopped to hear it all.
Again, hundreds of tracts ended up in the hands of passersby. Though Ottawa is filled to the brim with tourists each year, there seems to be a lot more than usual, which is a good thing.
Four of the five of us proclaimed the gospel in the open air numerous times at two busy intersections. The name of Jesus was highly exalted and glory was given to God in the clear and public proclamation of His saving gospel to many souls.
We are now about to enjoy breakfast followed by some worship and prayer together as we get ready for MO day number three. Thank you for you prayers, friends.

It seems that Hollywood is starting to catch on to what many viewers already know: Some of the best shows on TV are not on a network; they're streaming over your internet connection. Shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black from Netflix have been capturing people's imagination for years, although major awards have often eluded them. But in the first months of 2015, one announcement after another pointed toward a sort of streaming content renaissance.
Aug 16, 2012
Foliomag.com has implemented a limited paid-access model for its content. The company wrote in an email to readers that it has decided to institute a paid-access plan to place a specific value on the site's content.

Each month, users will be able to read eight stories for free. After the eighth story, users will have the option of purchasing an annual subscription for $69.95 or users can opt to pay on a monthly basis for $14.95. The paid-access model is in effect now.
