- Bear Story
- Monday, May 16th, 2011 at 1:32:07am UTC
- I awoke slowly, in something of a daze. Vision blurred and head aching, I tried to piece together the events that led to my current state. I closed my eyes in an effort to block out the uselessly blurred light. In the darkness behind my eyelids, shapes and colors ambled around, briefly becoming coherent in the shape of a small hairy midget surrounded by wonderful colors. A little more effort, and...
- "A talking donkey with magic beans," I mumbled aloud, eyes still closed.
- "Derek."
- "Yes, that sounds right."
- "Nice chap, for a donkey. They can be real jackasses, you know."
- "Har har," I responded mockingly. I think doing so hurt my head more than his feelings. This fact brought me to the realization that there was indeed a "he" present. A "he" with a very deep voice, and an odor akin to a dead dog which had been marinating in a pine forest for a few weeks.
- I opened my eyes, pushing through the pain in order to find out who I had the pleasure of being company to. As I looked in the direction of the voice, God's only mercy was that my vision took some time to resolve itself. In retrospect, I think that is the only way of cushioning the blow of finding that you are sharing the room with a 9 foot tall, monocled, top-hat wearing bear.
- I paused momentarily, and then paused some more. I felt that pausing after that would be a pretty good idea too, and so that's exactly what I did.
- "The name is Roger. Charmed, I'm sure," said the bear. I continued to pause as he took a sip from a teacup, held on one of his many huge claws. The teacup looked tiny when viewed in the context of being held by a bear.
- I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds, and opened them again. I had hoped that maneuvering my eyelids in such a fashion would rearrange reality into something a little more palatable. My endeavor was met with little success.
- "You're... a bear."
- The bear smiled. Up until that moment in my life I was not aware that bears could smile, but then I realized I was talking to a very gentlemanly bear and so put my sense of wonderment on the back burner so as not to have it boil over. "Please, old boy, don't be alarmed," said Roger as he put down his teacup.
- At that moment I realized there was something I had forgotten to do, which I promptly took care of.
- The bear clasped his massive paws over his ears as I began to shriek like a 12 year old girl getting to meet Harry Potter (but with a little more terror and a little less pre-pubescent awe).
- "Please stop that racket," he bellowed, only adding to my problem. You see, a gentlemanly bear is frightful enough. A shouting bear goes beyond frightful. My thighs suddenly felt warm and wet. I stopped screaming, because when a bear tells you to do something, you bloody well do it.
- "Ha! Had to get rid of some of that Guinness, I see," Roger quipped, as I stood in stunned silence.
- The self-identified Roger grinned, baring his large teeth. "I shan't hurt you," he said. "In fact, old boy, I'm here to make sure you are alright. That blasted hobbit has a tendency of following people home and robbing the place after he knows his mark is ruddy well pissed up. Mischievous little sod, he is."
- The grizzly picked up his teacup again and took a sip. We both sat in silence for a few moments. Him savoring his hot beverage, and me in total befuddlement. Roger looked over at me again.
- "You know, I've been doing this for a while, and I do believe you are the first human to have actually lost control of his bladder during one of my visits," he said, with a somewhat bemused air. I looked down at my soaked jeans.
- "This is a very unusual situation, and I'd like to take a few moments to collect myself so I can fully comprehend what is actually happening right now," I said. Or, at least, that's what I said in the alternate universe that is my imagination. Back in the real world, I mumbled "The fuck?"
- I quickly realized my attention was no longer fixed on the one-ton maiming machine that had now somehow squeezed itself into the armchair 10 feet away from me. Believing this to be an error in judgment, I once again gave my undivided attention to Roger. I breathed deeply for a few seconds as he looked into his teacup, lightly swirling it around.
- "So, let me... get this..." my voice trailed off, as Roger looked up at me and locked his eyes on mine. I took another breath and continued. "Let me get this straight, you're a bear, and you are drinking tea in my living room? And you came here to protect my home from burglary by a denizen of Middle Earth?"
- Roger finished his beverage and set the cup down on the coffee table. "That about sums it up. I should really be taking my leave, actually. It seems that the hobbit won't be dropping by."
- I watched as Roger skilfully extracted himself from the chair, raising up to as close to full height as my ceiling would allow.
- In a sudden outburst of manners, I thought it fitting that I show my appreciation for the protection - however ultimately unnecessary - of the forest creature. "Well, I guess, umm. Thanks are in order. Roger." I awkwardly said.
- "You're quite welcome old chap. I don't have much to occupy myself with during the week. I was somewhat bored anyway," he explained. Roger ambled towards the front door and reached for the handle, dwarfing it in his massive paw. With amazing dexterity, he turned the knob and pulled open the door. He looked out of the open doorway as he motioned to leave, and stopped in his tracks. "My my," he said.
- "What's going..." I began to ask, but I was cut off mid-sentence by a very small shout.
- "You big furry bastard! I swear to Gandalf, you won't get away with it this time," came the holler.
- I briefly weighed the advantages and disadvantages of getting any closer to Roger, whose huge frame was filling the doorway and thus blocking my view of who the voice belonged to. I decided I would stay out of paw's reach, as I had an inkling that I already knew who was on the other side of the bear, who was surprisingly quiet. He seemed rather taken aback at the situation. It's a strange feeling, seeing a talking bear struck speechless. Of all of the talking animals, you would think a bear would be the last one at a loss for words. You'd think it would at least always be able to fall back on "fuck you, I'm a bear".
- The small voice continued, "Where is it? I know you have it. Turn it over, right now. Come on, be quick with it!", it demanded.
- Roger found his voice. "Oh, Ed, come now. Let's be gentlemen about this," he said. He almost sounded like he was pleading. He took a few steps backward, opening the doorway up just enough for a very small, very hairy, and very dirty man to attempt to push past. The hobbit no doubt intended it to be a push, but it ended up more as a squeeze due to the fact that Roger probably weighed 50 times as much as him.
- The tiny man looked up at Roger, who was staring back down. Both looked very uncomfortable straining their necks to meet the other's gaze. Ed the hobbit pointed an accusatory finger at Roger, by way of extending the first finger on his right hand and raising it above his head. He inhaled deeply, no doubt getting himself ready for another salvo of shouting.
- "WAIT" I shouted. "I've got a fucking headache, so PLEASE. Shut up for a moment. What the hell is going on here? Ed? Is that your name? Why are you here? Why is he here? Just, someone tell me something. Please." Neither of them moved an inch, both staying transfixed on each other. My brain pulsated with pain from the combined effect of shouting and trying to figure out what was happening.
- Ed exhaled. "It will all become clear soon, mate. Now, where is it?" he again asked Roger.
- "Really, my good man, is this really necessary?" said Roger as Ed eyed him up and down. The hobbit looked like he was contemplating something for a few moments, before seeming to make his mind up. He turned and looked around the room, then walked over to the coffee table, picked up the teacup, and again took his place a couple of feet in front of the bear.
- The hobbit lifted the cup in front of his mouth, breathed on the white china, and rubbed it on the front of his dirt-stained shirt. The cup was brought back behind his head and was tossed at the bear's head with all his might. This sounds much more impressive than it actually was. A teacup quickly loses a lot of inertia when it is thrown 8 feet vertically by a midget. It did, however, lightly strike it's intended target, knocking off Roger's top-hat which landed on the floor shortly before the tea-cup smashed onto the tile. As I looked back up at Roger, I saw something sitting atop his head.
- The bear's eyes rotated upward, his head staying perfectly still. "What is it that those commoners say? Something to the effect of 'It`s a fair cop, guvnor'?" he chuckled uneasily.
- Ed looked smug, still looking intensely into the bear's eyes. "I bloody well knew it! I'm not the half the daft bugger you take me for. Hand it over," he instructed. Roger reached up on top of his head and grabbed the object, and tossed it towards me. It landed with a thud in front of me. It was my wallet. "He's into the identity theft business. This bear has more names than a stripper with multiple personality disorder," said Ed. Roger hung his head in shame. The hobbit took another sharp breath before putting on his "big" voice again.
- "OUT WITH YOU. GO ON," Ed shouted as he gestured to the open door. "The wizards are waiting for you, so don't you try anything!"
- Roger sighed and turned to look at me. "I do apologize, my boy," he said sullenly.
- I looked down at my wallet again. "It's... OK?" I responded. I think Ed and Roger took it as a statement, but it really was a question. I wanted someone to tell me exactly what had just transpired, and whether it really was OK or not. Roger turned towards the door, ducked to avoid the top of the frame, and walked outside.
- Ed raised his hand to the nape of his neck and began massaging it in an effort to loosen the strained muscles.
- "Didn't the donkey tell you?" he asked. I began to shake my head, but then it all fell into place.
- "Beware the bear," I said.
- "Beware the bear," Ed confirmed as he turned and walked out of the door, pulling it closed behind him.
- I forgot to move for a while after they left. Moving was the last thing on my mind at that time, neglecting even the simple act of picking up my wallet. When I finally felt confident enough in reality to put my motive abilities to some use, I walked into the kitchen and opened the refridgerator. There was a can of Guinness left, which I grabbed and opened without hesitation.
- "I need a beer," I said to myself. I looked down. "Oh yeah, and clean pants."

Featuring: Jay Z
Producer: Dre & Vidal
Album: The Solution
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 13 votes )
After a lukewarm response to the R. Kelly collabo All Of The Above, Beanie Sigel hopes to redeem himself on The Solution's new street single, What They Gonna Say To Me. While airing out today's "fake rappers," Beans reminds the listener that he's been around much longer than most; giving them the option to either retire or face his wrath on the street. Complete with a Jay-Z sample and tip-top street-ready production, What They Gonna Say To Me should please all the street soldiers listening.

Emotional Korn Frontman Jonathan Davis Shares Son's Battle With Type 1 Diabetes
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has launched a campaign to help fund research for juvenile diabetes.
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has launched a campaign to help fund research for juvenile diabetes.
Jonathan Davis called into Lubbock, Texas, radio station KFMX recently to talk about the 'Prepare for Hell Tour,' opening for Slipknot, celebrating 20 years as a band and a lot more.
Korn's Jonathan Davis spoke with 'Loudwire Nights' host Full Metal Jackie about the 2014 Mayhem Festival, 'The Paradigm Shift: World Tour Edition' and more.
Korn are riding a career upswing at the moment, due in part to the success of 'The Paradigm Shift' album. The news just keeps getting better for the band, as they're set to appear as co-headliners of this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.
If you've turned on CNN or read the news lately, you've probably heard about 19-year-old Miranda Barbour, a young woman who is accused of killing a man she met via a Craigslist ad, and who has confessed to killing at least 22 other people as part of a Satanic cult. But regardless of her association with the cult, Korn's Jonathan Davis says that Satan really has nothing to do with it.
After a huge 2013 for Korn, frontman Jonathan Davis is getting his hands into something else by collaborating with Nicholas O'Toole to create the musical score for the movie set to be released in a couple weeks.
Jonathan Davis has done a lot for soldiers both at home and over seas. Now he is featured in a new short film "Wounded Warriors". It actually follows him as he tours and hangs out at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. (Yes its pronounced the same as the band, but the band add an extra M which literally means "ramming stone". The band Rammstein has said they named their band after an air show disaster at the base of the same name.)
Jonathon Davis of Korn recently threw down at the Identity Festival in Mansfield, Massachusetts as his alter ego "J Devil" and you can check it out right here.
Korn hits Lubbock this Friday night for the FMX Birthday Bash with Chevelle, Lacuna Coil, Janus, New Medicine, CAVO, Dead Sara, The Veer Union and the big Dubstep after party. Click here if you want more details, or just click through to check out an awesome gallery of live Korn concert pix!
Korn have never exactly been the kind of band that tries to please critics — or, for that matter, anyone else but themselves — so when their tenth studio album, 'The Path of Totality,' was greeted with wildly mixed reactions last December, it was pretty much par for the course, albeit with one crucial difference: the new record, which finds the band experimenting with dubstep and electronic textures to a greater degree, was seen by some as a betrayal of their metal roots. As you might expect, the members of Korn see things differently.
Jonathan Davis made a video of him recording the vocals to the new track "Sanctuary," originally titled "November" in a hotel room in the Philippines. Definitely not your typical recording setting. It is however proof that with the right computer software, ANYBODY these days can make a record
Evidently Walmart has a program that plays in it's stores called "Soundcheck". I personally have never stood still long enough to notice that anything was going on. As part of this program Korn plays live and does some short interview segments. It's filmed really well, so what the heck, it's worth a look. More after the jump.

A motion to accept the minutes as amended was made by Senator Collins. The motion, seconded by President-Elect Perkins, carried.
President Livingston reported on November 21, she and President-Elect Julie Perkins attended the Forum on Higher Education Affordability and Value. Livingston reported that there are plans to do a rating system and to do some changes that will affect the way that consumers view higher education. This was an opportunity for the public to make public comments. There were quite a few staff members at LSU who made comments and a majority of those comments were focused on the rating system and bringing up points on giving a numerical or letter value on things that college and universities do. Livingston thinks that there are a lot of employees invested in what is going on and we will probably hear more about this as it comes out.
Livingston reported that on November 22, she attended the University Council on Women meeting. This meeting focused on safety which is important to all of us. The committee heard results from a survey done by a Ph.D. Student on Safety on Campus and Perceptions from students, faculty and staff and it's pretty clear to the Safety Sub-Committee that we need to educate staff members about the resources to them for safety and health and wellness in general.
Livingston reported that on November 25, she attended a Holiday on Campus Committee Meeting.
Livingston reported that on December 4, she attended the Holiday on Campus event. She thanked all of the committee members and all Senators who volunteered. It was a big success. She is looking forward to next year which will hopefully be even bigger.
Livingston reported that on December 5, the Executive Committee interviewed the first of two candidates for Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services who was Daniel Layzell. They heard about his experiences and his philosophy on some things, so it was good to get some time with him. The Executive Committee also interviewed with the second candidate, Matthew Fajack on December 11, which went well. It was nice to be a part of that process.
Livingston reported that on December 5, she attended the Executive Committee Meeting to set the meeting agenda for today.
Livingston reported that on December 10, she participated in a Focus Group for Information Technology Strategic Plan. Some other Senators participated in some of those Focus Groups as well.
Livingston reported that on December 12, she attended a Bylaws Committee Meeting. The report was included in the meeting packet. She mentioned that there are two issues that the committee is discussing of which the first is introducing a Treasurer as part of the Staff Senate and the second is how the Staff Senate handles Resolutions. The committee will bring those issues to the full Senate for discussion soon to help with the language for the amendments to the Bylaws.
Livingston reported that on December 13, she along with Past-President Gothreaux and President-Elect Perkins attended the Board of Supervisors Meeting. There were updates across the system. Some of the updates for main campus were an update from President Alexander regarding the Transition Advisory Teams Report, after some recognition of that team, there were updates on recruitment, increasing student success, improving offerings for non-traditional students, branding and research competitiveness. Livingston found the branding to be interesting and later that day the system revealed a new logo for LSU Alexandria which looks like our logo but with a different script A at the end. They also changed their colors from blue and gold to purple and gold. The university is looking to purchase property on W. Roosevelt Street at the Speech and Hearing Clinic and the plan is to move just the administrative offices for Parking and Risk Management to that facility which is not final as of yet. There will still be a location on campus to pay parking tickets, pick-up parking tags, etc. This will get them out of the same location of LSU Police which is a security issue. Livingston mentioned that Gymnastics is building a practice facility behind the Fieldhouse. The Tennis Facility is also moving along which got approved about and will be located on Gourrier Drive across from the Alex Box Stadium. The LSU Foundation will be moving to the location of the old Alex Box Stadium and the original plan for four floors for extra space for leasing has changed due to financial reasons so the building will be two floors. There was also a review of LSU's Master Plan documents from 2003 to present. The Board of Supervisors is beginning to look at Master Plans, facility usage and try to get a handle on things for each campus. Also, the Athletic ticket increase on prices was approved.
Livingston reported that prior to the Staff Senate Meeting today, the Communications Committee did not meet. The committee is working on some things that have been postponed to January.
Budget & Finance/Governmental Relations
Senator Baker reported that on November 21, the Budget & Finance and Governmental Relations Committee met. Jason Droddy and Tommy Smith were unable to attend due to the College Affordability Forum. The committee discussed that there is no mid-year budget cut and they also discussed the committee's role and what we are going to look at. The committee will monitor the upcoming Legislative session to see if there is anything that the committee needs to tackle. The committee will meet again at the end of January, beginning of February and will invite Jason Droddy and Tommy Smith for an update.
Holiday on Campus
President-Elect Perkins reported that she met with Michelle Lowery and Margo Jolet after Holiday on Campus to discuss how things went. There are some things that they are looking at to adjust for next year. Hopefully if everything goes according to plan, the tree will be planted and located in front of the Union, so that may actually be the kickoff of the Holiday Spectacular for next year instead of the closing part of the event. Then everyone could move inside for all of the other festivities. So the order and timing of the events may change next year. In general, everyone had a good vibe about the event. Perkins encouraged feedback, if anyone hears of anything to please let her know electronically so they can be considered with next year's planning which may start in February. There was a question posed by a Senator as to who the event is actually for, is it just for the kids of employees or students as well? Because there was a comment by a student worker who attended but was turned away. Perkins mentioned that the event is intended for the children of faculty, staff and students however the Union is trying to draw everyone to the Union. The goal is to try and bring people to campus and to the retail vendors on campus, so as this evolves that is something we will have to address because we definitely don't want to turn anyone away. There was another comment that Santa had to leave early which created disappointment for the people who were waiting in line. Perkins mentioned that next year, we will look into hiring a Santa since she has heard the same thing. There also needs to be signage for the University Recreation Activities. There was another comment that the food line flowed nice and the food was good.
Senator Millican mentioned that the committee has not met but they are reviewing the website for updates which will be discussed in January.
Member-at-Large Torres mentioned that Senator Millican was able to attend all of the Marketing Presentations that was scheduled last Friday. They were all fabulous and she can't wait to get the presentation clips. She mentioned one development project in particular for Community Coffee and it looked like Community Coffee actually put it together. There were some great ideas that were all across the spectrum. She mentioned that the committee is going to get some great fundraising ideas from this project.
Torres announced that the committee did not meet in December but will meet in January to begin planning for big fundraising. Torres announced that the Holiday Decorating Contest was a huge success with 19 entries and $150 dollars collected for the Staff Senate Fee Support Scholarship Fund. The entries were posted on the Staff Senate website for everyone to view. The theme was Tiger Royalty and everyone who participated was very creative this year. The winners of the contest are for Best in Show, the Office of Sponsored Programs who took a different spin on the Tiger Royalty Theme and did Casino Royal since grants are such a gamble, for first place Door, Accounting Services – Bursar Operations which had a 3D effect of some buildings on campus and had a picture of Coach Nick Saban with a sign that read 1 and 0 carrying Mike the Tiger, for second place Door, Accounting Services – Sponsored Program Accounting with the Spa Kingdom and the Circle of Spa like Lion King with lots of animals, for first place Bulletin Board, the Vet School – VCS with a Mike the Tiger Squirrel, for second place Bulletin Board, School of Education – Office of Field Experiences with Past-President Gothreaux as Count De'Money. Torres mentioned that she did not participate in the judging as there was an internal competition among the Accounting Services departments for the Golden Calculator which will be kept by the winning department for the year. Torres also mentioned that the Human Resource Management entry made her laugh out loud with Associate Vice Chancellor A.G. Monaco as the angel on top of the tree. The winner's will be posted on the Staff Senate website. Melonie Milton, Staff Senate Administrative Coordinator will place ribbons on these entries.
Council of Staff Advisors
Past-President Gothreaux reported that the Council met on December 12, and the primary issue that has come up which is concern from some of the campuses across the system is the unfunded accrued liability and the impact that is having on reducing the retirement benefit. Gothreaux announced to the committee that Associate Vice Chancellor A.G. Monaco has spoken to the full Staff Senate regarding this issue and that we are keeping an eye on it. Council Member Gena Doucet who is the Human Resource Director with Pennington had a Louisiana Representative come tour their facility and wanted to talk about the retirement issue, so she put together a presentation to give him and she will share that with the Council. Once Gothreaux receives, he will share with the Senate. Gothreaux reported to the Board of Supervisors that this was an issue of concern and they expressed support in trying to find some relief on that.
Smoking Task Force Committee
Senator Millican reported that the Legislature passed a law during that last session that requires all of Higher Education campuses to have a smoke-free policy in place by July 2014. It also gives the ability for campuses to go tobacco-free as well. A committee was selected and on that committee she and President-Elect Perkins serve and Vice Chancellor Kurt Keppler Chairs. They have been tasked with writing the policy and making a recommendation to President Alexander as to whether or not LSU should go all the way tobacco-free. Smoke-free will also include the vapor cigarettes as well. If we go tobacco-free that will include chewing tobacco and any other form of tobacco. The university is looking at offering smoke cessation programs for students, faculty and staff. The enforcement is going to be positive and a work in progress, LSU Police will not be out there writing tickets, it will be up to students, faculty and staff to enforce this in a nice way but if there excessive disobedience by students, it will be referred to the Dean of Students and if it is a faculty or staff member it will be referred to their Dean or Chair. In January, Vice Chancellor Kurt Keppler is going to come to speak to the full Staff Senate and they are very interested in getting the opinions of student, faculty and staff. The students have already completed a survey so there is a better understanding of where they are. Undergraduate students are pulling more for a smoke-free campus, not tobacco-free, graduate students are about 50/50, the Law School students are leaning more towards tobacco-free and the committee does not have a clear view of what staff think, so Millican encouraged Senators before the January meeting to talk to your constituents about their opinions or thoughts and any questions they may have. Millican mentioned that if you are asked the reasons, number one it's the law, we have to go smoke-free, it's also going to a point of pride for recruitment as a positive thing, it's also a sustainability issue for a healthy work environment and the resources that the university has to use picking up all the cigarette butts will be reduced. If we continue to present this in a positive manner, we should get a better response. There was a question on the survey about smoking in cars since that is their private property, how is the committee leaning towards this. There is a policy that prohibits smoking in state-owned vehicles. Smoking in personal vehicles is a right, but smokers would have to smoke in their vehicles on campus with the windows rolled up. We may not get 100% effort with this but if we can get at least 95% then we are doing good. Smoking is a right but the truth is it affects smokers with higher costs for health insurance , health care and will take a toll on their health at some point. There was some further discussion about smokers smoking in their vehicle on campus. Senator Millican will draft some of the smoke-free talking points to distribute to the full Senate for help when talking to your constituents.
Benefit of the Month
Senator Millican announced that the benefit of the month is that Courtney Black's Ballroom Dance in Baton Rouge is offering 10 % off of all group classes to all LSU Faculty, Staff and Students. They offer all different types of dance. The discount will not end until May 31, 2014, so if you are looking for something fun to do, more details on group classes offered can be found at www.ballroomdancebr.com
Senator Sasser announced that the LSU Lagniappe page which can be found through the Human Resource Management Website posts discounts offered for entertainment, restaurants, services, stores, travel, and wellness for LSU employees. Also, the Harlem Globetrotters will hold a show in Baton Rouge on January 18th and LSU Employees will receive a discount on tickets. She mentioned during tax season there is discounted tax services offered as well.
Staff Senate Gift Fund
President Livingston reminded the group of the Staff Senate Gift Fund. If you haven't contributed and you can, please donate $10 towards the fund so we can build that fund back up for the year.
Staff Senator Birthday
President Livingston announced that Senator Scott Moreau celebrated his birthday on December 5, Senator Leigh Sasser celebrated her birthday on December 9, and Senator LaToya Joseph will celebrate her birthday on December 19, "Happy Birthday".
Crisis Leave
Senator Sasser announced that since the Crisis Leave Donation broadcast reminder went out there have been about 30 employees who have donated and one employee donated 270 hours which is wonderful.
MOTION TO ADJOURN – With there being no more business, Past-President Chad Gothreaux moved to adjourn. The motion, seconded by Senator Carruth, carried. The meeting adjourned before noon.
Holly Carruth, Secretary

Ok I dropped the \ from mine and it did work so corrected above. It didn't with the .dl_ because it errors out and don't expand.
Are you saying it will set the keys itself now? with the Register option
? Errors out ? What kind of error ?
And yes, basicly thats what the Shell Extension menu does, though its a slightly different approach, i dont use (overwrite) the edit\command Regvalue, instead i add a "WinntbbuED" entry to the context menu, this is a bit more friendly for anyone who already has associated dll's edit\command to something else like e.g. a HexEditor
But it's based on your suggestion, btw did you check the about lately?

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Nike has been vocal about its support for Tiger Woods in its sponsorship deal, even as Tiger attempts to weather the media storm that has descended on his personal debacles.
But on Monday, Nike's (NKE - Get Report) chairman and co-founder Phil Knight took the company's fervent support for the legendary golfer to a whole new level when he said that history will barely register Tiger Woods' infidelities when it looks back at his career.
Knight says that Woods-type scandals hasn't changed Nike's athlete-focused branding strategies. It's all "part of the game," he explains.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. He could rewrite the mighty stone tablets that are the Kansas record book, handed down on high from Moses and James Naismith, for years to come, if he wanted to. Ben McLemore probably has other plans, and that's fine. Not the issue. The issue is the present, or rather oh, heck, let's just say it Bracketville. Namely: Which Ben are we going to get, kids, once the ball is tipped at the NCAA Tourney? Big Ben? Saturday Ben? The one who sank 12 of 15 shots in a 91-65 beatdown of West Virginia? The one who netted 36 points on the day, the most ever in a single game by a Jayhawk freshman? The one who shattered the mark held by (gasp) Danny Manning, one of the four faces on KU's Mount Rushmore? Or will it be Gentle Ben? The one who dropped a meager seven points on Iowa State in Ames? The one who managed another seven points at Oklahoma State? The one who tends to disappear every time the vultures start circling? According to Sports-Reference.com, coming into the we...

Portsmouth may drop their interest in Real Mallorca winger Jonas Gutierrez after an outburst by their president Vicente Grande this week.
Pompey boss Harry Redknapp had an improved £4.1million bid knocked back by the Spaniards last summer.
Redknapp is still keen to sign the player - dubbed Spiderman over his extravagant goal celebrations. But Portsmouth may find it impossible to go back with another bid in January after the Spaniards' accusations.
Grande rapped: "Portsmouth insulted Jonas by undervaluing him and manipulating him.
"They are not complying with UEFA laws which state you cannot negotiate with players if you do not have permission from their clubs."

After six months without a fight, London based Dutch Cruiserweight Mitchell Balker finally gets the chance to return to the fray at Spencer Fearons Hard Knocks Promotions first event of the year, Shamrock Showdown II, at The Troxy in Limehouse, London on the 23rd March.
Ever since Balker relocated to the UK, to train at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, his manager Johnny Eames has found it hard to secure his talented charge any bouts, especially after word got out that prior to turning pro that Balker had traveled to America to take part in, and win, the prestigious New York Golden Gloves tournament at the famous Madison Square Gardens.
However finding fights for the Dutch #1 here in the UK was made virtually impossible following a sensation against the odds victory over World ranked Blackpool based Slovakian knockout maestro Richard Turba back in August last year, which unsurprisingly rocketed Balker to the top of the domestic Cruiserweights Fighters to Avoid list.
Things now look set to change for Balker though, as the aforementioned Spencer Fearon was so impressed by the Dutchmans never say die attitude, as well as the victory over Turba, that he decided to add him to upcoming Premier Sports (Sky platform Ch 433) televised show, and true to form matched him in a genuine 50/50 fight against unbeaten Leeds hardman China Clarke.
Following yet another sparring war, with former British Cruiserweight Champion Leon Solid Williams and Caine Brodie, a jubilant Balker said, I feel very good and very excited about it, you know Im always ready, so lets do it.
I know nothing about my opponent, Spencer (Promoter Spencer Fearon) told me there is an opponent, China Clarke, so there is an opponent so we are going to have a fight and were going to make a special fight for the fans, and the TV, as they havent seen me fight for so long.
Even when there was no fight coming up I still stay in the gym, training and sparring, so I am always ready, my manager Johnny (Eames) and trainer Barry (Smith) make sure of that.
I have been sparring Leon (Williams) Caine (Brodie) and Paul (David) a lot, its the best preparation I could hope for, Leon was British Champion, Paul is the English Champion and Caine is a tough competitor at any time, so its good hard sparring with three of the best fighters in the UK.
Knowing Spencer it will be a hard fight, a 50-50 fight, but to me Its a very special fight, my first with Hard Knocks and Premier Sports, so I will be really up for it and looking to win big.
Mitchell Balker versus China Clarke will feature on the support card of Choi Tseveenpurevs challenge for the vacant WBC Silver International Featherweight title at Spencer Fearons Hard Knocks Boxing Promotions Shamrock Showdown II event at the Troxy in Limehouse, London on Friday 23rd March and broadcast live on Premier Sports (Sky platform Ch 433)
Tickets, priced £35 are available on-line now at www.tkoboxoffice.com or in person at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym, Gillian House, Stephenson Street, Canning Town, London E16 4SA

For our quickest response leave us your phone number in your query.
Catherine's love for people and caring service brought her into the profession of person aesthetics and fitness. My interest in people and healthcare brought me into a profession working in youth care.
In 2004 I started a new chapter in life, opening Konrad cottages, and moving shortly after to Welcome Beach on the Sunshine Coast. In 2007, I was joined by Catherine, who for the next several year, was indispensable in our growth and raising level of service. Now with her return to work in aesthetics, she is starting to offer, spa services here at Konrad Cottages.
We make it our goal to create the care free, comfortable, home away from home, were you our guests, can create special memories that will last a lifetime--be it by showing you how to paddle a kayak, setting a campfire on the beach, or by offer helpful local knowledge on the great activities to choose from her on the Sunshine coast.
The Owner purchased this cottage in 2004
My parents, Peter and Maryanne Konrad, were looking for a vacation property with a safe accessible beach for swimming and boating for children and grandchildren, and for my sports fishing father who due to illness, had limited mobility. In the spring of 1984, when they saw this property on the quiet esplanade at Welcome Beach, they know their search was over.
Over the next 20 years they enjoyed gathering family with them each summer at the cottage, to enjoy family times, swimming, boating, and fishing. The property changed over those years. We added a second bedroom to the Beach Cottage first, then built the Chalet in 1992, to make room for our growing families.
My children, Theresa and Christine, and I have know this--peace of heaven--since they were born. Spending several weeks at the cottage each summer, as well as, many weekends each year, many wonderful family memories have been created here at the cottage.
With the love we had for the Halfmoon Bay area, and the special spot on Welcome Beach, my parents had discovered many years before, after the passing of my parents, in 2004 we took a leap of faith, and took over the property, and since then, it has been our pleasure to shared it with other families, couples, and groups, as a vacation rental.
The Sunshine Coast has long been a destination for cottagers, dating back to the turn of the century when the Union Steamships used to bring the wealthy 'summer people' up to the area, dropping them in Gibsons, Selma Park, Trail Bay, Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour. The tradition still exists, but these days its usually people traveling by car and looking to jettison their everyday cares for a while where life goes at a slower pace, nature is ever-present, and old-fashioned activities that promote adventurousness and togetherness dominate. Welcome to our world at Konrad Cottages in Halfmoon Bay!
Konrad Cottages offers one of the best cottage/vacation rental experiences in Coastal British Columbia. Located in Halfmoon Bay, in a neighborhood referred to as Welcome Woods, our cottages are right on the water in one of the Coast's most beautiful ocean bays – Welcome Beach.
Welcome Beach is one of the few truly sandy beaches on the Coast, and is one of the better-kept secrets too! Limited parking for day visitors and no major facilities means that crowds typically head to Davis Bay or Porpoise Bay Park. Meanwhile you wake up in your own beachfront cabin and step right onto the beach any time you like, with all of the amenities you need handy and close by.
You can walk the beach (it's great for off-season storm watching too), swim along the shore or out to the float, put in your kayaks or small rowboats, or just sit on the beach and soak up some sun and watch the marine traffic go by while birds like the red-beaked oyster catcher, blue heron or bald eagle hunt along the shore and shallows.
You can choose to stay either in the Cottage, a 2 bedroom bungalow with level beach access, or a 2 bedroom chalet nestled in a cedar grove, with a sunny spacious deck and views of the ocean. We hope to see you soon.

Another Great Two Weeks At Welcome Beach!
The cabin was cozy, The view was beautiful and the beach was sandiest ever. Thanks to you both for the Great Hospitality and the Fun Times. We hope to keep the fire alive, see you next year!
PS Thanks again Ray for the Valet Boat Parking.
The owners of this little slice of paradise were extremely kind and personable. We made a mistake in our rental dates and arrived one day early. Ray and his wife were more than willing to accommodate our needs. They even helped my 4 and 7 year old girls build sand castles in front of the property. They are simply amazing and wonderful people.
The Lower Sunshine Coast, only 40 minutes by ferry from Vancouver is popular to vacationers from the Vancouver area, as well as, from throughout BC, Alberta, and Washington State, for is scenery, protected waters for beach front vacations, as well as for boating and fishing, festivals, spas, restaurants, mountain biking, ocean tour, scuba diving and hiking.

Certified Medical Technician Job Description
Certified medical technicians, also referred to as medical laboratory technicians, perform basic laboratory procedures, such as testing specimens and recording results. These individuals may specialize in a field, such as molecular biology. Medical technicians work with diagnostic and analytical equipment, including analyzers and microscopes. Besides performing laboratory work, they may collect samples directly from patients.
Medical technicians typically work under medical laboratory technologists and may receive instructions from physicians or pathologists. Like many employees in the medical field, they may work odd hours or be on-call in case of an emergency. Medical technicians need to follow safety protocols, which may include disposing of hazardous waste and wearing protective clothing.
Job Outlook and Salary Information
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment for medical and clinical laboratory technicians, the field that encompasses medical technicians, was expected to increase by 30% from 2012-2022 (www.bls.gov). Population growth and the development of new laboratory tests will spur the employment increase. Medical technicians may find work with hospitals, laboratories, physicians' offices and universities. In May 2013, the BLS reported that the average annual salary for medical and clinical laboratory technicians was $40,240.
Certified Medical Technician Educational Information
The first step for students considering a career as a certified medical technician is to complete a certificate or associate's degree program with coursework specific to laboratory science. Classes may cover bacteriology, hematology, phlebotomy, and immunology. Supporting scientific courses in chemistry, anatomy, and physiology may be required. Clinical practice is often incorporated into a program in which students may rotate through different specialties, such as urinalysis and clinical chemistry.
Licensure and Certifications
The BLS indicates that some states have licensing or registration requirements for laboratory personnel. Professional certifications are required by some states and may help with employment. Recognized certifications are offered by several professional organizations, including the National Credentialing Agency for Laboratory Personnel and the American Medical Technologists. These certifications usually require applicants to meet educational standards and pass a certifying exam.

the zbrush stuff are looking awesome ..
i don't know if you wanted this bumpy aspect on the last rendered portrait in my opinion i think its a little bit to much you need to have bumpy and smooth surfaces near one and other to have a good balance, when all its bumpy your eye gets bored ... its like seeing a long long pattern
i am not necessary right its just a thing i learned that repetition its not always a good idea

March 12th, 2010 #244
wow, that looks really tasty with the texture!
i know that you completely reworked my design, but originally the lower part of the gun is intended to be the ammo holder.
so after you fired out a cartridge, you could reload it with a kind of pump-action move. or better, with a double-pump-reverse-action-move.
on the other hand, i think the smaller typo is the better in this case :-)
i cant wait for it to be finished, not to mention the armor

Some really cool stuff here! Nothing to crit.
Except for one thing: Color
As I was browsing your SB I found a post from a guy that was made more than two years ago and he said that:
...most of your color schemes are pretty stable but simple, try composing with all seven colors. I too like using a very limited palette because it's easy to control but I think some of the best paintings are the ones that balance every color and shade and make it work.
Other than that - great sketchbook. Keep on postin'!

Hi jozulus! thanks for commenting at my thread...I appreciate it!
Thought I'd take a look at yours too. It's GREAT! Love what you're doing! Your characters (human, animal, creature) are all so loose limbed and natural looking (not stiff/posed). I really admire that!
You're kicking butt in zbrush too!
Thanks again!

"some new "anatomy" "study" , All from mind"
Now that's the problem here! There is no such thing as "study" "from mind"
azaz ne szégyelld a fotót, ha nincs kéznél 1 benga állat aki pózol neked.
Btw I like those guys. Nem tudom értelmesen leírni angolul, hogy tök jó terük van (nem az hogy tök jól térbe vannak, bár az is igaz).
And I really like the big empty underwaterspace scene too.
Although I don't think there should be any other big thing in the composition (it's a good way, just not necessary).
There are possibilities for thousands of little details what should make this piece showing a real believable place,
and not a design showroom. Look at sparth's flickr page and what he's doing nowadays... ugh.

Metabolic syndrome is not really a disease but a syndrome and what I would call a "pre-disease" or a condition that you get before you get really sick. Metabolic syndrome is also known as syndrome X, or metabolic syndrome X, or even insulin resistance syndrome.
There are four primary symptoms of metabolic syndrome: central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia (all explained below). Having metabolic syndrome brings with it a risk for other diseases (mostly heart disease, stroke, and type-2 diabetes) and the potential for a shortened life.
The most important thing to know about metabolic syndrome, though, is that it acts like a canary in a coal mine warning you that you are at risk for much worse things to come (that is, if you don't stop it in its tracks). The good news is that you can change what you are doing right now and avoid much of the pain that comes with having diabetes or heart disease.
How do you know if you have metabolic syndrome? While the definitions for metabolic syndrome change from medical group to medical group, most groups agree on the following definition for the syndrome:
If you are wondering what you can do about metabolic syndrome, the answer is a lot! While you might be looking for a pill that you can take, that is not your answer. The only way to change metabolic syndrome is to change what you are eating and how much you are exercising.
Here is my plan for stopping metabolic syndrome:
Metabolic syndrome may seem like a one-way dead end street to heart disease and diabetes, but it doesn't have to be that way. Change what you are doing today and you can change who you are (and maybe how long you are going to live).

, the driver seat the first one to get killed
from Kendrick Lamar (Ft. MC Eiht) – m.A.A.d city Lyrics on Genius
Since the driver is in the front of a car, in any scenario of a shooting he is usually hit. In this case he was killed.
When the driver of a car is killed, everyone else in it is sitting ducks.
This is reminiscent of Menace II Society:
This could also refer to the city's violent defense of the status quo. Building on the opening lines of the song, Kendrick suggests that the ones driving social change (i.e. those in "the driver seat") earn the enmity of Pirus and Crips alike, leading to an environment that kills progress before it's begun.

Does anyone have a list or know of which restaurants/fast-food chains offer dairy/soy-free menu items? I know I can look at their nutrition guides or call them but it's kind of time consuming so I was just wondering if maybe we can get a list going here.
Dairy/Soy-Free friendly restaurants
AsHLeY&DaMiEN 10.15.2008
LOVE my BAByCAkES, KiRRA-LEiGH KA'U'iONALANi 07.26.2009
in las vegas there is a resturaunt called Red Velvet, they cater to Vegans, and those with food allergies. the food is soooo good, anything on the menu can be made Vegan or non-Vegan, and they welcome your questions regarding food allergies. Other places i have noticied will look at you like your nuts...
Rose 3/04, River 8/09, Ridge 12/12.
When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.
Taco Bell, Burger King, Arby's, I'd just ignore Mc Donald's, lol. I LOVE Chipotle if you have one of those. Everything is dairy/soy free except the cheese and sour cream. FABULOUS! Red Robin is really good if you go there and just tell them and ask to get something. All of this is pretty easy to look up online, except Red Robin, you'll have to ask. We had Outback last night and that went well (it didn't last time b/c I didn't take the time to look online first or ask, I'm a dummy). They have a dairy free list and a gluten free list online to look at. You pretty much have to look at everything again before ordering anyways b/c things are always changing. Jimmy Johns is good w/ allergies, lots of dairy free stuff. Subway. Papa John's.

McDonalds Hamburgers and Fries are dairy free at least in Canada. I also think that their Hot Apple Pie is dairy free in the States (but not in Canada).
For the most part I haven't had too much trouble with getting the restaurant to make things dairy free, but some I feel take it more seriously than others.
Subway is fine if you go for the white or whole wheat bread and no cheese.
Pizza places are usually okay if you ask for no cheese.

I'm dairy, soy and egg free and had success eating at Joe's Crab Shack. They have steamed dishes that you can order plain and add your own seasoning or use Old Bay. The Bone Fish is also very cooperative. I've also found that if you call ahead on the day you're going out to dinner, they'll accommodate you.
Wife to Josh, SAHM to Madalyn - allergic to dairy, mildly to soy and avoiding peaches.... so far...
Taco bell, really? I am finding eating out very hard.

I wish all restaurants could lay it out like this!:

I don't know if you have a Boston's in your area, but their online menu is great. It's a pizza place, but they have a ton of other stuff. And they have a PDF of every menu item's nutrition information AND allergy information. It was extremely helpful!

I have found that Romano's Macaroni Grill has one dish that is safe - Cappelini Pomodoro (sp??) and they can cook you some of their pizza dough instead of the bread they usually give you.
McDonald's has their Chicken Selects (their fancy version of chicken mcnuggets) that are safe. Chicken mcnuggets are not safe and neither are their fries.
Burger King says their chicken fries and regular fries are safe. I didn't find anything else on their menu that was safe.
"Nicer" restaurants - aka more expensive ones (!) tend to be more willing to work with you. You have to be careful that they understand the magnitude of what you are asking, though, because people have no idea that there is dairy in so much and if they answer quickly that something is safe, don't trust them. Make them go back and ask the chef. I usually call ahead and ask if they can accommodate a dairy allergy.
Asian food has worked well for me too.
Be careful with pizza places as some will put milk in their pizza dough. They can tell you easily enough if they do, though, so don't write them all off.
If I think of more I'll post...
ive found that burger kings fires and onion rings are dairy and soy free but noy the burgers. its the exact opposite at wendys. mcdonalds i could only eat their apples!!!!!
quiznos italian sub without the dressing is fine! most websites are so helpful now!! i was allergic to milk protein growing up and it was sooooooooooo much harder to get the info

When you are thinking about running, jogging; it is essential that you choose the right shoe. If you really care about how you would perform, how your feet will be affected while you are running or after your running course, then the best shoes are what you should consider buying. There are thousands of running shoes out there, but only a few are worthy enough to really support your feet while running. When I first started running, most of the time I didn't really care about what type of shoes I was using, my feet would always hurt after each running session, and the next day my feet would be so sore that I had to rest for days before i could return in the track field. Now, i have learned my lessons and I have bought specific shoes to run with. Believe it or not, my feet doesnt hurt at all.
Find top running shoes!
If someone understanding of CSS HACK, please look my website, which page is to use CSS HACK querrying to multi-browser compatible.

We are brewing large batches of Iced Teas and Iced Coffees, so this is a good product for us. But you only sell a minimum of Iced or infused beverages, this is not really the product for you.

Perfect dispenser at a perfect price. These work for so many purposes and I have 6 already and I will definitely get more if I need them. Amazing price.
Michael H. Posted on 03/10/2014
Highly recommended product! This beverage dispenser really gets the job done. Great for mixing large quantities of beverages, storage, and also serving. Made from a nice flexible plastic, it is sturdy, solid, and does not seem flimsy or breakable at all. The spout is made well, and has minimal drippage when in use. It starts and stops pouring with ease. The lid is also well made, and comes in hand to place cups, etc. on top of the dispenser, as well as keep debris out. Cambro is a top industry brand for a reason.
Michael H. Posted on 03/04/2012
I love this punch bowl. It is so easy to clean and the largest I have found for such an ecconomical price. I plan to buy more for all my summer parties.

Moss provides a sense of peace and tranquility even during these uncertain and stressful times, and one company is filling this niche by providing five varieties.
So what is it about moss that is making it more and more popular these days?
According to Heidi Masucci, Operations Manager at Moss Acres, it seems that most people just "love the way it makes them feel – almost like a kid again, playing barefoot in the woods near a pond or stream." Al Benner, owner of Moss Acres goes on to explain: "More than likely it is the visual element of moss and the wide variety of vivid shades of green that elicit this soothing effect. Studies have shown that the light wavelength associated with the color green actually has a calming effect on the mind and body – more so than any other color." Al believes this is all the more reason we should surround ourselves with plants and nature as much as we can in our high-paced, stressful world. To capitalize on this trend, his company, Moss Acres has recently launched two new retail products and has more moss applications in the works. Clearly not every company suffers in an economic downturn. By working with nature Moss Acres is helping people re-connect with their inner child and feel more connected to nature in the process.
Honesdale, PA (PRWEB) September 29, 2011
According to the folks at Moss Acres, moss has been around for 350 million years – it is believed to have "crept" out of the oceans and slowly evolved traits that adapted it for life on land. But moss had no lofty ambitions, it has changed little over time, and remains one of the simplest of plants. Moss plants have no true roots and simply absorb all the moisture and nutrients they require directly from the air and rain. This is why moss thrives in damp environments – it can only photosynthesize and spread when it is hydrated. As soon as moss dries out it goes dormant, awaiting the next rain. This is how Moss Acres is able to store moss – dry, so it won't mold and it also has an unlimited shelf life.
Moss Acres was started on a whim twelve years ago by Al Benner, whose father Dave has been nurturing moss gardens for close to fifty years in Bucks County, PA. As an avid outdoorsman, Al decided he wanted a way to spend more time in the mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania. He also figured since nobody was offering moss for landscaping in large quantities he could fill that niche, so he decided to purchase an old house with acreage in Wayne county. One of the greatest features of the property are the nearby falls. A short walk into the woods, one finds themself staring at an enchanting series of cascading waterfalls bordered by rocky outcroppings covered in moss, ferns and wildflowers. The soothing feeling here reminds us all of how it is often the simplest things that give us the most pleasure.
The house has since been restored and Moss Acres has expanded to the point where it is now located at a separate location down the road. Al is now also turning his attention to creating an organic farm for his twin five year old boys on the property. Business and lifestyle have a pattern of co-mingling for this entrepreneur.
Moss Acres had very humble beginnings, and by most any business standards would still be considered a small company. But even in the recent economic downturn, the company continues to show respectable annual sales growth and has even recently launched two new moss products for retail garden centers, gift shops and online gift merchants. The "Moss Milkshake" and the "Live Moss Garden Pack" are selling very well nationwide for many retailers and are also helping to create more public awareness regarding all the environmental benefits of moss. These include: no mowing, no fertilizing or chemicals, and no watering once established.
Many new products and applications are in development at Moss Acres, including a moss mat system that can be attached to walls, ground moss fragments for shady area green roofs (a handful of these have been successfully installed), and topiary systems for creating unique and artistic shapes covered in moss. Moss for terrariums is also a big seller. Moss Acres currently offers five varieties of shade-loving mosses in large quantities, and is also experimenting with sun-loving mosses for clients with sunnier conditions.
The Japanese have known for centuries, what we Westerners are just now beginning to realize: Moss is an incredibly valuable plant when it comes to soothing the senses and cleansing the air and water. Why fight nature, trying to establish a grass lawn in the shade? Work with it and grow moss instead.
