"I would like to thank you for your help and assistance with this relocation. I am happy to say that this has been by far, the smoothest relocation I have ever had. I am not kidding. From day one, everything has been taken care of extremely well. The delivery went well. Apparently, nothing has suffered or has been damaged. Thank you again for your great work. It has been a real pleasure to be assisted by you and Arpin!"
"Your team is amazing in their communication, attention to detail, and providing excellent customer service to Sabre's employees and their families for their packing, shipping, and storage needs. Moving to and from an assignment can be terribly stressful for all parties involved, but you and your team really go above and beyond the normal expectations to relieve that stress from the employees and their families."
It's almost the end of Movember...the time of year when the moustache takes over the world for one month. Ricardo Ramos, Arpin Group's Director of Global Marketing, is happily participating in this event for the second year in a row to raise awareness for men's health. Movember is the global men's health charity that encourage men to grow and women to support the moustache for 30 days to raise awareness and funds for men's health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiaties.
In the spirit of the holidays, we have advice from Movingtoday.com when it comes to cooking a successful Thanksgiving dinner in a small kitchen. If you fall under this category, you have to get creative with your cooking plan. Small kitchen layouts mean very little food prep area and not much space to actually cook.
Due to the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, Arpin and Cardi's Furniture teamed up once again to hold a relief drive to collect items for those affected in New York and New Jersey. The turnout was quite incredible.
The moving and storage industry continues its slow, steady recovery from the depths of the housing crisis as shipment numbers continue to rise, according to the latest American Moving and Storage Association's Industry Trends Report. Overall shipment numbers for the first half of the year were up 1.5% over last year, which isn't as much as the increases seen in the past two years, but still positive.
Arpin Group recognized dozens of agents for their excellence, service quality, charitable giving and sales performance at this year's Annual Agent Convention held at the La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, Calif. October.
The convention's most coveted award went to Mordue Moving & Storage of Peoria, Ill., which was named the 2012 Prime Agent of the Year. Mordue also received the Million Dollar Hauler Award, Two Million Dollar Booker Award, Greatest Private Residential Sales Volume Award ("C" Market), Fleet Safety Achievement Award, Gold Quality Agent Award, and was selected as an Arpin ACES (Agents Committed to Excellent Service).
In the wake of the aftermath, we'd like to take a moment to acknowledge those affected by Superstorm Sandy. There are millions of people on the East Coast that have lost power for days and some have even lost their homes.

The public is invited to attend "Taking Shape: 3D Printing," Monday, April 28, 6:00-8:00 p.m in the Peterson Classroom in Heritage Hall on the campus of the University of Minnesota Crookston. The event is hosted by 360-degrees Manufacturing and Applied Engineering ATE Regional Center of Excellence, together with the Center for Rural Entrepreneurial Studies at the University of Minnesota Crookston. Attendees will have the opportunity to see 3D printers in action and learn about the potential of this emerging technology to print a multitude of 3D objects, including such things as art, jewelry, personalized dolls and action figures, mechanical parts, medical devices, implants and even food.
Attendees will learn about recent developments in 3D printing technology which are taking the world by storm and impacting many segments of society, including the arts, education, medicine and business. At the same time, the cost of personal use 3D printers has dropped to around $1,000 to $3,000 per unit, placing the purchase of these units within reach for small- to mid-sized businesses, individuals and other organizations.
In its simplest definition, 3D printers (using a process which is sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing) place material precisely, layer-by-layer, slowly building up a 3-dimensional object. Materials which are being used currently include plastic, concrete, metal, wood, food and human cells.
The potential impact for Crookston and surrounding communities is significant. Individuals interested in learning more about these emerging technologies and seeing them in action are encouraged to attend. There is no cost, but pre-registration is highly encouraged as space is limited.
Parking for the event is available in lots E and G. No parking permits will be required. Go to the event website to register at www.3DPrintingCrookston.eventbrite.com.

Posted in Fish Dream Meanings
Octopus have a grasping effect on dreamers. When we come into contact with the sea creature, we are in awe by its uniqueness and how it tends to shy away from other moving sea dwellers that share the same space.
If the octopus represents you in the dream, then people are naturally attracted to you because you are shy and yet exude a lot of individuality.Guide and Resources on Octopus in Dreams
Tags: grasping dream, octopus dream, sea dream, shy dream
I had a dream that I was in a room that I didn't want to be in and an octopus was chasing me. It was acting like a wild dog.
Anybody have any idea what that means?
The dream is telling you that you have come into a place in life that you really don't want to be and that confusion has gotten out of control in this place…
soo i jUST woke up from this bizaree dream. i was in a store getting a christmas tree but it was in a long box. then i started getting freaked out because there was something moving in it. and in my dream i desired to open it, but had difficulty. from like a 3rd person view of my dream, i could see myself and was trying to tell myself "no! stop!" but i continued, and opened it. i am a SERIOUS arachnaphobic. when i opened it a spider [black widow] began to come out and the back was 2ft tall!! and the legs were really long. then it evolved into a mutant octopus star was looking thing. which is weird because i dont even watch star wars. the octopus raised to like 7 ft tall and tentacles/ leg things were 5 ft long. it was messing up everything in the store and following people. it grabbed one person and they just disappeared. i tried to take a picture of it, but my cell phone wouldnt work around it. so i told my gramma we needed to leave, but she was persistent in paying for a bag of doritos? and so i jus grabbed her and we went to the parking lot. the octopus followed us! then when we finally got to the car, it was speeding up and we couldnt find the keys. then i woke up..
My husband wore up this morning saying he had a dream in which he killed an octopus by putting it down the garbage disposal. please interpret.
I keep having dreams about an octopus. In one dream I was getting ready for school and I tried to wake up my sister but she wouldn't get up, so I pulled the covers off her and there was an octopus. In that dream I ran to my mothers room and as I pulled the covers off her she was a monkey. I had another dream where my best friend was marrying a octopus, it sounds funny in theory but its really weird.
I had a dream I was on holidays with my family. In the room there where two spiders (thin grey ones with long legs) and two small octopus, they where hiding on a shelving unit I was trying to catch them but they kept going outside my reach.

Hardcore PHP programmer.
Lithuania - Last active: 08/07/2013 - Tests: 11
Overall I am in IT industry business from about 1999. The first years I've mostly been working with servers and networks, later about in 2003 I've got interested in programming. Worked with Perl/CGI,ASP, but mostly with PHP/MySQL. I am in IT business untill nowadays. I think there is no need to mention that I worked with SOAP, OOP, XML, various API, REST etc. I have a commercial experience in XHTML/CSS, frameworks etc. My favourite framework is CodeIgniter. To "keep a PHP shape" I also like creating of pure structural code on my own projects :) So I can fix 99.9% of the software/server problems, as I am a programmer with strong system administration background. I also have commercial experience in XHTML slicing. I do not use just exports or software who slices designs. I do this manually. So I definitely won't slice design for 15$, because I am "pixel-perfect" slicer. I compare sliced layout with original PSD design. Webmasters: if you are looking for a clones, be ready to receive stolen/warez "solutions". You cannot get a software clone for 20$. Just a stolen copy. Serious works cannot be done for a small money. If your server due via high loads, this usually means pure written software. Also server tweaking may be required. Most scripts are not to be used on big sites, that's the problem. And having just 10 000 000 records in DB is a headache. 1.I am not one of those who wins the bid and then seeks for other programmer to complete a task; 2.I am not one of those who shouting "I am the best and the cheapest". The best cannot be the cheapest, right? (maybe only when there ar no reviews). You cannot buy Maybach for 100$, right? I think every webmaster should expect the same quality of work he pays :D 3. I want you to make happy with my work, so i will work untill you are satisfied. 4. I always try to place reasonable and wise-priced bids. I cannot place 100$ bid for 2 lines of code. But if you want "create flash casino connected with db and all featured edited within admin area+ affiliate system" for 20$... I think you will just get a stolen software, wich copyright links removed. I saw such things many times. Believe me, you will mee problems later with that :D But of course, it is your choide. 5. I usually need FTP/Cpanel access, to modify your files. If you cannot provide this login dues some reasons, please DO NOT accept my bid. How can I work, then? I CAN make some exceptions, of course. 6. If I bid, I am 99% sure about success. 7. I always provide support for my jobs. 8. If I do not respond email within 1 day, that means I am busy like in hell, so I am just sorry about that. Just write to me AGAIN, please. You WILL get a response. Sometimes I miss emails via lots of emails in my inbox. 9. I ususally do not bid, if webmaster wants: "Just change one colour", including reinstalling server, reslicing entire website, fix bugs :D In those cases I just bid for "Just change colours"; well, usually I do not bid. Also, if you have lots of cancelled projects, I do not trust such webmasters too much. Well, I can work for those webmasters, but require escrow. 10. usually I do not require escrow. I try make webmaster happy first, in order me to keep for further jobs. 11. I am always open for any negotiations :D 12. If I've made fixes for 15$, that does not mean I will work with your complex project for that price. As I've mentioned, prices should be adequate. Quality of work usually is proportional of the price + programmer reviews. 13. You can just contact me for some consulting or questions. That does not mean I will work offsite. 14. I read all invites to bid. If I do not bid or respond, that means your budget is far away from realistic budget. Believe me, I also would like to hire people to work for $1 or less per hour. I dont believe, you can get a quality work for that price. 15. Please DO NOT BOTHER me with $5 projects. I will also ignore "a very simple job, I simply dont know how to do it". To become a millionaire is also a very simple jo, I simply dont know how to do it. I will also ignore "the cheapest wins". Even I am new on this site, I am active freelancer on some other sites. I think I could give links to my profiles on those things. Also... I did not used any spell checker or Google translator to write all this, so you can evaluate my English level :D Thanks for reading. :D

The United States is near total collapse. But 87% of the population doesn't care: they're addicted to flashback, a drug that allows its users to re-experience the best moments of their lives. After ex-detective Nick Bottom's wife died in a car accident, he went under the flash to be with her; he's lost his job, his teenage son, and his livelihood as a result.
Nick may be a lost soul but he's still a good cop, so he is hired to investigate the murder of a top governmental… (plus)

"This exemplary work cuts new roads through a dense and intractable global problem: human destruction of our planetary environment. Here sharp minds venture into scientific complexities where most systematic theologians fear to tread. Their collective depth, range, and sophistication -- both scientific and theological -- opens the way to profound re-appropriations of Christian doctrine. Both faithfully traditional and highly innovative, the volume is a tour de force in both ecological ethics and Christian theology." – Lisa Sowle Cahill, Boston College, USA
Religion has always been shaped by the media of its time, and today we live in a media culture that informs much of what we think and how we behave. Religious believers, communities and institutions use media as tools to communicate, but also as locations where they construct and express identity, practice religion, and build community.
This lively book offers a comprehensive introduction to the contemporary field of religion, media, and culture. It explores:
Much work on contemporary religion in Asia considers the subject from the perspective of the great religions, oftentimes focusing on the development of official beliefs, and the development of formal institutions. The books in this series, on the other hand, examine the actual practice of religion in everyday life in modern Asian societies. They reveal a very rich picture of varying religious practices, many of them new and non-traditional. The series welcomes innovative approaches to theory and methods in the study of religion and religions, and work which considers religion in relation to culture, politics, ethnicity or gender.
Routledge Research in Religion, Media and Culture includes a wide range of investigations of media in relation to religious practice and belief in any historical period or geographical domain. Media examined in this series include everyday objects such as statues, dolls, and photographs; visual media such as wood cuts, icons or illuminated manuscripts; and newer media such as radio, film, television, and Internet. Volumes go beyond focusing on how messages are delivered to passive audiences, and contribute to an evolving paradigm of understanding creative audiences for whom media are an integral part of lived religion
Reading the Qur'an in the Twenty-First Century considers the development of Qur'anic interpretation and highlights modern debates around new approaches to interpretation. It explores how Muslims from various theological, legal, socio-political and philosophical backgrounds think about the meaning and relevance of the Qur'an, and how their ideas apply in the contemporary world.
Abdullah Saeed provides a practical guide for interpretation and presents the principal ideas of a contextualist approach, which situates the original message of the Qur'an in its wider social, political, cultural, economic and intellectual context. He advocates a more flexible method of interpretation that gives due recognition to earlier interpretations of the Qur'an while also being aware of changing conditions and the need to approach the Qur'an afresh today.
Karen Pechilis, editor of South Asian Religions:Tradition and Today, shares her experiences develooping the book and using it in her own classes with New Books in South Asian Studies. Click here to listen to the full interview!
On International Women's Day, Routledge is joining celebrations across the world to honor women's achievements throughout history. This year, we've decided to give you free online access to a number of Routledge Women Studies resources from Saturday 8th March to Monday 10th March.

Professional Ratings: 91 The Wine Advocate, 90 Wine Enthusiast
Region: Italy
Varietal: Non-Vintage Sparkling Wine
Alcohol By Volume: 12.5%
Item no. 110302
Of all the Bellavista wines, Brut Cuvée best represents the characteristic qualities of Franciacorta. Its balance derives from the blending of at least thirty selections. The addition of some older wines, with their distinctive perfumes and flavours, confers consistency to the taste, plus roundness and finesse. The grapes used are 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero. The mousse is white, lively and persistent, the bubbles small and long-lasting. The colour is light yellow with hints of green. The perfume is full, inviting, rich in ripe fruits, chlorophyll and vanilla; these perfumes are fully reflected in the taste, and are echoed in the aftertaste.
The NV Brut Cuvee is simply beautiful. White peaches, jasmine, minerals, ash and grapefruit are some of the aromas and flavors that come together in this taut, focused Franciacorta. This is a superb example of Italy's best reasonably priced methode Champenoise wine. I loved it. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
Bellavista's Cuvée Brut is a wine that delivers consistent and delicious results year after year. It's a sure bet because of its delicately toasted notes that are enhanced by plenty of ripe fruit and citrus. It also shows extreme finesse and elegance, with a bright and cheerful personality.

Kuala Lumpur: Myanmar's military government considers Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her party irrelevant in the democratic process, said Malaysia's Foreign Minister after a brief visit to the country. Minister Syed Hamid Albar told reporters on Monday that his Thursday to Friday visit did not completely convince him that Myanmar was making sufficient progress towards democracy, as claimed by its military rulers. He said he had asked the junta to be allowed to meet Ms. Suu Kyi, who is under house arrest, and other members of her National League for Democracy party. But ``they told me that Aung San Suu Kyi has no more influence, that the NLD has no more influence'' he said without elaborating. AP

People who are seeking to get the true story in any situation are doing all victims the highest service and only liars or people with a deceitful agenda would claim otherwise.
It takes a lot of courage to be the only voice in a room asking questions or making accusations that go against the entire sea of people. I salute your courage.

Media Evolution The Conference is an international conference organized annually in Malmö, Sweden. The event focuses on factors that are affecting our society, with a media industry angle to it, exploring who sets the agenda, what changes the playing field and how we all can shape society from now on.
The main themes are "Human Behavior", "New Technology" and "Make it Happen" with sessions that look into topics such as big data, learning, non visual communication, online harassment, responsive web design, boredom, change making and tactility in a digital world.
Here are some selected videos from the August 2013 edition. There are 56 in all online (just from 2013), so I invite you to explore them as well.
Suzannah Lipscomb – Opening keynote [41:19]
Suzannah Lipscomb is Senior Lecturer and Convenor for History at New College of the Humanities. She also holds a post as Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of East Anglia. Suzannah opened The Conference by looking back and talked about what we can and can not learn from the past.
James Bridle – Naked Lunch [43:07]
The world is shaped by new technologies, but perhaps it is shaped more by how we understand those technologies, how they impact our daily lives, and the mental models we have of them. James Bridle, who coined the term "New Aesthetic", talks about architectural visualisation, online literatures, contemporary warfare and contemporary labour, in an attempt to articulate new ways of thinking about the world.
An Xiao Mina – The Internetz and Civics [12:54]
An Xiao Mina is an American artist, designer, writer and technologist. She explores the disruptive power of networked, creative communities in civic life. Dubbing memes the "street art of the internet", she looks at the growing role of meme culture and humor in addressing social and political issues in countries like China, Uganda and the United States.
Golden Krishna – The Best Interface Is No Interface [16:25]
Golden Krishna, Senior Designer at Samsung, speaks about how "The best interface is no interface".
Many people believe that the future of design is on screens. But what if we can design communication that doesn't involve screens.
Mike Dewar – Seeing From Above [18:25]

Charmed by an alien
My Love From The Star lead Kim Soo Hyun serenaded and pleased fans with jokes
Published on Apr 29, 2014 5:48 PM
He joked about packing carrying 30 pieces of underwear in his luggage while filming overseas.
He created fake captions for photographs shown to his supporters at his fan meet, then cheekily apologised for lying.
He cried at the end when it was all over.
To the neutral observer of South Korean actor Kim Soo Hyun's first fan meet held here on Sunday night, he gave the impression of being entirely spontaneous - unlike many of his compatriots too well schooled in PR.

"PINK slime" may be off the menu for US schoolchildren after the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) yielded to a petition demanding its withdrawal from schools.
The substance, officially called "lean finely textured beef" (LFTB), is made from slaughterhouse trimmings separated from fat and sterilised using ammonia. It is added to a range of meat products. Its manufacturer claims LFTB is 94 to 97 per cent lean beef, with similar nutritional value to 90 per cent lean ground beef.
A petition launched in March cites microbiologists' concerns, and incidents of Escherichia coli and Salmonella contamination - all of which were intercepted before reaching customers. After receiving 235,970 signatures, the USDA agreed to offer schools foods without LFTB.
Nancy Donley, founder of STOP Foodborne Illness, whose son died from E. coli poisoning, defends LFTB: "This product is meat. The use of ammonia improves safety and is used throughout the food industry."

Edge Pro 9.5" VS Circle D Pro II 10.25" Converter
So its time to bite the bullet and get a torque converter. First let me say I have read every thread on 5 different forums and have narrowed my picks down to Edge Pro and Circle D Pro II. I am looking for: quicker acceleration in 60 ft, 1/8 mile, and 1/4 mile (at least a .5 second reduction), good street manners (but can slip a little more than stock at part throttle), high efficiency (low slippage), reliability (I plan on keeping this truck for 10 years), better fuel economy would be nice but at least no worse than my current 16 mpg average. Would like to hear from people that have run one or both of these converters. Thanks for the input.
My truck: RCSB 2013 Ram 1500 Hemi with: BD Tuner, BBK Ceramic headers, AFE CAI, 180 degree stat, Magnaflow muffler, Sonnax line booster, and 4.10s with LSD. I do not tow or haul, this is my daily driver. I drive very aggressive but may never go to the track. Future mods: mild cam and that should be it (maybe??).

Dear Friends,
Earlier this morning, Congressman West gave a gracious concession. The election is over, and I am truly humbled that the voters of the 18th district have entrusted me to represent them in Washington.
This campaign was fueled by the tireless work of my staff, by countless volunteers, and by so many of you -- who generously reached into your own (often strained) resources to help us get our message out. I cannot thank you enough for your support, and the good wishes and encouragement that kept us all charged and excited throughout these many months. I am so humbled by your support, by your generousity and by the amazing people of this district.
Almost 21 months ago, I officially launched my campaign for Congress. Throughout these months, the Kos community and staff have been incredibly supportive. I was proud to be endorsed as part of the Orange to Blue campaign, and grateful to the thousands of dollars everyone contributed to help us fight our legal battles these weeks. We could not have prevailed without you.
Tremendous thanks goes to Markos and the Daily Kos staff for their coverage and support of the race. I particularly want to recognize and thank David Nir, who covered this race so closely in the Election Digest, as well as to Joan McCarter, who was instrumental in helping to fundraise for our last-minute efforts. Thank you to everyone who wrote diaries and helped to spread the word about our campaign. In a race where we were outspent 4 to 1, everyone's contributions mattered.
I am excited and honored to get to work. From fighting for equal rights and our environment, to the protection of our middle class, there is much work to get done, and I look forward to working with the Kos community over the coming years.
With great respect,
Patrick Murphy
Florida's 18th District

NFL, players' union cancel 2nd day of talks in DC
WASHINGTON Negotiations to prevent an NFL lockout took a grim turn Thursday with the cancellation of the second day of a planned two-day bargaining session.
"We wish we were negotiating today," NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah said. "That's all I can say."
There are just three weeks to go before the collective bargaining agreement expires on March 3.
The NFL confirmed that Commissioner Roger Goodell has canceled an owners' meeting scheduled for next Tuesday in Philadelphia, where labor was expected to be a topic.
"Despite the inaccurate characterizations of (Wednesday's) meeting, out of respect to the collective bargaining process and our negotiating partner, we are going to continue to conduct negotiations with the union in private," league spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press via e-mail, "and not engage in a point-counterpoint on the specifics of either side's proposals or the meeting process. Instead, we will work as hard as possible to reach a fair agreement by March 4. We are fully focused on that goal."
The collapse of the talks came as a surprise. The two sides got together Wednesday for the second time in five days, the previous negotiations taking place in Dallas on Saturday before the Super Bowl. Neither Atallah nor NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith would comment on why Thursday's session was called off.
The union sent a memo Thursday to player agents updating the status of discussions on a rookie wage scale. A union proposal to decrease the maximum length of rookie contracts to four years for players selected in the first three rounds, and three years for players chosen after that, also included a limit on financial incentives and salary escalators that could be included in rookie deals.
Those limits would, the NFLPA claims, provide the cost certainty the league is seeking for its rookie salary pool.
According to the memo seen by The Associated Press, the NFL's response was a five-year wage scale with base salary escalators. That would virtually eliminate individual negotiation of rookie contracts.
Owners opted out of the current CBA in 2008 and are seeking a bigger cut of the league's revenues, which are roughly $9 billion, as well as the rookie wage scale. They also want to increase the regular season by two games to 18, while dropping two preseason games.
The players are happy with the status quo.
The NFL has had labor peace since a 1987 players' strike that led to three games with replacement players, but some sort of labor stoppage appears a genuine possibility this year because of the slow pace of negotiations. The talks at the Super Bowl were the first formal discussions since November.
Meanwhile, the NFLPA continued to present its side of the argument to the public. The union was a guest of American Rights at Work, which brought in a beer vendor from Ford Field in Detroit as part of a news conference in the nation's capital aimed at demonstrating the effects a lockout would have on the economy.
"Football and other major sporting events are some of the only things that bring people to downtown Detroit after 5 p.m.," said John Marler, who has worked at the stadium since 2007.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of NAS Lemoore elementary school students face a fitter, fuller future with the introduction of two new indoor 'Healthy Fitness' facilities on the campuses of Akers and R.J. Neutra schools. Courtesy of an $800,000 Department of Defense grant, the schools have been able to build indoor workout centers and re-designate accredited full-time physical education teachers to facilitate the fitness fun.
At Akers School, the Healthy Fitness Zone occupies what were formerly home economics and special education classrooms. Stripped of fixtures, except for a solitary electric range that was once used by home econ students to cook meals for special occasions, the rooms have been opened up into modular exercise spaces, painted and floored with soft, grey carpeting. Approximately 30-40 of the school's youngest students will use the fitness center in a classroom setting while older students are encouraged to use it during free time.
Bedecked with pristine high-tech gaming systems designed to motivate and get kids moving, the facility is divided into two fitness zones capable of giving kids a seriously fun workout. Capable of multiple, simultaneous activities, the zones are one important tool in local educators' arsenals to help meet California state mandates of at least 200 minutes of physical education every 10 days for students in grades 1-6.

Bobby Creekwater - Junkie
Artist: Bobby Creekwater
Producer: Bobby Creekwater
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 8 votes )
In DJ Z's recent interview with the ATL emcee, Bobby Creekwater stated that his forthcoming B.C. Era Deuce mixtape would prove once and for all that he's much more than another "tough guy" rapper. If the newly-released Junkie is any indication, Creek was speaking the gospel truth; on this introspective, metaphor-laced cut, the Shady Records emcee reminisces about how how he became incurably addicted to the allure of the rap game, even spitting a few thoughtful bars on the double standards that fuel our society's love-hate relationship with the genre. If the lyrical ability on display here doesn't convince you that Creek's one of the most talented up-and-comers in the game, the artist's own beat, a lush mix of strings, brass, and dreamy background vocals, will. If this record leaves you wondering what else the multitalented emcee has up his sleeve, be sure to grab The B.C. Era Deuce when it drops on March 5th.

9 murdered in new drug bloodshed in Mexico
More News from Agence France-Presse
TORREON, Mexico – Nine people were found slain in the northern Mexican city of Torreon, apparently victims of drug-related crime, including seven men hacked to bits, authorities said Sunday.
Seven male heads and torsos, along with hands, arms, legs and feet, were found, stuffed in black plastic bags in a house that was being operated as a business, prosecutors said.
Two other men were found riddled with bullets late Saturday in another part of the industrial city, which is located in the state of Coahuila.
Authorities are probing whether the killings were linked to score-settling between rival drug gangs.
President Enrique Pena Nieto was sworn in Saturday as the country's new leader in a return to power of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which ruled Mexico with an iron fist for 71 years.
Outgoing President Felipe Calderon hands on Latin America's second biggest economy, buoyed by a manufacturing surge, but his six-year term will be mostly remembered for the military offensive against powerful drug cartels, in which at least 60,000 Mexicans lost their lives.
While 25 of the 37 most wanted drug lords were captured or killed, gangland gunfights, decapitations and kidnappings have surged since 2006, with the murder rate almost tripling to 24 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.

Convention of Estates (1689)
The Convention of Estates of 1689 was a Convention of Estates of Scotland that sat between 16 March 1689 and 5 June 1689 to determine the settlement of the Scottish throne following the invasion of England by William, Prince of Orange. Whilst comparable to the English Convention of that time it was far more revolutionary, and sought to undo most of Scotland's Restoration Settlement.
Presbyterians through the means of "rabblings" and other means of intimidation and violence against Episcopalians ensured that the Convention was dominated by the view of the south-west[1] and by Williamites, and was not representative of Scotland as a whole.[citation needed]
The Convention declared the throne vacant, but did not accept the English theory that King James VII had abdicated (who had also been King of England as James II). James VII was deemed to have lost the throne by forfaulture[2] (a feudal term similar to forfeit), because of alleged misgovernment. The throne was offered to William and Mary, with regal power residing with William II (by now William III of England), by reason that William held the throne de facto by right of conquest.[3] Not all members of the Convention were for replacing James VII with William II, and the proceedings of the Convention were challenged by figures such as John Paterson, the Archbishop of Glasgow.[4]
The Convention sought the extirpation of episcopacy and the reduction of the Scottish monarchy from an absolute monarchy to a limited monarchy as part of the revolutionary constitutional change. The Convention considered Union with England[5] but the Presbyterians were wary of English episcopacy, and the matter was deferred.
The Convention drew up two documents, the Claim of Right, which listed the alleged misdoings of James VII and indicated what they expected from William II, and the Article of Grievances, which sought to reduce the powers of the monarchy. It is not clear if the offer of the crown to William and Mary was conditional upon acceptances of the Claim of Right and Articles of Grievances. The coronation oath was changed to accept the new position of a Presbyterian Kirk. William was reluctant to consider the Grievances but accepted both documents at his admission to power in Scotland on 11 May 1689.
William turned the Convention into a parliament on 5 June. James VII declared all those assembled in the parliament to be rebels. The Established Church was then overthrown and replaced by the Presbyterian Kirk. The Lords of the Articles were also abolished.[6] The first estate was abolished and the barons were divided into two estates.[7] The divisive nature of the Convention and its changes to the Scottish constitution left many disaffected. A significant number would become Jacobites.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is pressing for public support Monday to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans, a day after he and House Speaker John Boehner met one-on-one for the first time to discuss ways to avert the fiscal cliff.
Neither side provided details of the weekend meeting at the White House. But with just three weeks until a flurry of tax hikes and spending cuts start taking effect, the mere fact that the meeting happened was seen as progress.
Negotiations continue to center on whether to raise tax rates for the top 2 percent of income earners. Obama, in a campaign-style speech to auto workers in Michigan on Monday, is expected to stress that he won't sign a deal that doesn't include higher tax rates for the wealthiest Americans.
While Republicans have long opposed that approach, some GOP lawmakers are suggesting the party relent on taxes in order to win concessions from the president on changes to benefit programs such as Medicare. Still, Boehner's office indicated Monday that the speaker wasn't ready to take that step.
The Republican offer made last week remains the Republican offer, said Brendan Buck, a Boehner spokesman. He was referring to a GOP plan that offered $800 billion in new revenue over the next decade through reducing or eliminating unspecified tax breaks on upper-income earners, but not by raising tax rates.
The White House also showed no new signs of flexibility following Obama and Boehner's one-on-one meeting.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Wallace wrestled all through high school and he was a gym coach at some college in the south.
This isn't the first time Wallace has been off the wall- he once wrote an article about how the airline security wouldn't put him in a position to fend off hijackers because he had artificial hips. No one asked him, but he was telling them, "I used to be a krotty champ, put me in the danger seat!" And they're looking at him like he's nuts. Oh well, he used to be the man, now he's like Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Men. Sad."Coffee is for Closers" GlenGarry Glenross

This kind of thing really infuriates me. More so because I know there's nothing I can do about it. The worst part (already mentioned) is that the whole "that's not true martial arts" schtick was (and still is by some) said about kickboxing too. So, I'll say it again... What a tool.
Style: BJJ, Striking, TKD--
One of my professors is with Austin Society of Karate. They are super huge fans and supporters of Wallace. He makes regular appearances for seminars and tournaments for them. My prof asked if I'd like to check out a class, which I did because brownie points are cool. I also went to watch a tournament held out in West Lake. Reading the comments and makes seeeing what his "students" practice here in Austin make sense. I understand that he was supposed to be a badass back in the day, but the people who are claiming a lineage with Wallace practice a near no-contact style. There was lots of emphasis on form, and, "Oh, I could have hit you" but little on fighting. They stopped fights if a competitor made significant contact. His comments seem to be in line with the philosophy that I saw here locally.

Maybe you're right, but remember, when UFC started most people didn't think you could even do kicks (aside from leg shots), let alone a kick to someone's head without getting destroyed. Nowadays we even see things like axe kicks.
I'm not suggesting we'll ever see people dancing on one leg rapid-firing tons of kicks, but a quick 1-2 shot, one to move the person's guard and the 2nd to clock him? I think it's a possibility, though I'm not pretending to be an expert on what works/doesn't in mma. Time will tell I guess.

You still can't compare the two. If you aren't worried about getting swept you can take the chance of executing higher (height) and dangerous ( Jumping/Flying/kicks). Even throws are reset and you can start over in KB matches that allow them.
It is a whole different ball game when a kick can be used to get you on the ground and the fight continues.
Two different situations with two different outcomes.
Yes, I watched early UFC live. People get knocked out with kicks.

Author(s): Currie, Janet M.
ISBN 10: 0691122687. See all ISBN's
Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
In one of the most provocative books ever published on America's social welfare system, economist Janet Currie argues that the modern social safety net is under attack.
Unlike most books about antipoverty programs, Currie trains her focus not on cash welfare, which accounts for a small and shrinking share of federal expenditures on poor families with children, but on the staples of today's American welfare system: Medicaid, Food Stamps, Head Start, WIC, and public housing. These programs, Currie maintains, form an effective, if largely invisible and haphazard safety net, and yet they are the very programs most vulnerable to political attack and misunderstanding.
This book highlights both the importance and the fragility of this safety net, arguing that, while not perfect, it is essential to fighting poverty. Currie demonstrates how America's safety net is threatened by growing budget deficits and by an erroneous public belief that antipoverty programs for children do not work and are riddled with fraud.
By unearthing new empirical data, Currie makes the case that social programs for families with children are actually remarkably effective. She takes her argument one step further by offering specific reforms--detailed in each chapter--for improving these programs even more. The book concludes with an overview of an integrated safety net that would fight poverty more effectively and prevent children from slipping through holes in the net. (For example, Currie recommends the implementation of a benefit "debit card" that would provide benefits with less administrative burden on the recipient.)
A complement to books such as Barbara Ehrenreich's bestselling Nickel and Dimed, which document the personal struggles of the working poor, The Invisible Safety Net provides a big-picture look at the kind of programs and solutions that would help ease those struggles. Comprehensive and authoritative, it will prompt a major reexamination of the current thinking on improving the lives of needy Americans.

Less than two miles separate The Ursuline School and New Rochelle High School. In fact, the two are both off of North Avenue, bringing new meaning to the term, "Protect your turf."
Losing in a sweep was tough for everyone on the Huguenots, but none more than head coach Alyssa Patti, a graduate of Ursuline.
"It's always tough being back (at Ursuline)," Patti said after a 25-23, 25-20, 25-13 loss. "I'm an alum of (Ursuline) and then I'm coaching New Rochelle - I'm on both sides of the coin, here. It's always a little bittersweet, but of course I want the team that I'm coaching to win." ...

Two Is Better Than One
Some things are better done solo. Shopping for unmentionables comes to mind. Or flossing. Or, in our opinion, diving (we are still shocked that synchronized diving is an actual Olympic sport!). But writing beading books?
Well, we've both done the solo author thing (check out Melinda's latest, Custom Cool Jewelry and Danielle's Simply Modern Jewelry), but we sure had a lot more fun when we teamed up to write and make projects for the new book Mixed Metals: Creating Contemporary Jewelry with Silver, Gold, Copper, Brass & More. Perhaps it's because we're both very passionate fans of metal beads and findings. Collaborating on this collection of projects that celebrate and encourage the use of metallic elements in your stringing and wireworking designs was exciting for us, plus we learned a ton about the history, chemical properties, and lore of metals.
5 Tips on How to Use (and Mix) Metals in Your Jewelry Designs
Here we dish on our favorite discoveries about metal beads:
SilverMelinda: "All you need to oxidize silver (and copper, too) is a hard-boiled egg. No toxic chemicals needed! Place a warm hard-boiled egg in a container with an air-tight lid and smash it a few times. Hang the metal to be oxidized above the egg by stringing the piece onto a thread and taping the ends of the thread to the container's rim. Attach the lid and watch the color develop in 24 to 36 hours."

May 25, 2015
A series of murders in San Francisco during the past week is pushing the city's homicide rate closer to the highest level in more than a decade.
Six people were murdered during the week, including a 22-year-old student at San Francisco State University who was found naked and stabbed to death in a vacant lot on Labor Day.
Later, the same day, a 26-year-old man was shot to death while walking home in the city's Visitacion Valley area.
Police say they believe he was mistakenly shot in retaliation for earlier gang violence.
The two murders have pushed the city's total for the year through Tuesday to 79.
That's just six homicides shy of the 85 recorded last year in San Francisco.
At this rate, the total for 2007 would approach 120 killings, which would be the most since 133 people were slain in 1993.

Hi Ryan, nice work. Re About the Photographer, did you really mean "appeasing" (soothing, pacifying, relieving) or did you mean to say "appealing"? Gotta tell you, it sounds really weird.

2012 (Freshman) Thomas Brown redshirts his first season at Nebraska.
Before Nebraska (Junipero Serra HS)
Brown was one of four impressive linebacker prospects in the the 2012 freshman class. A native of Gardena, Calif., Brown is also one of two Californians in the Husker class, marking the 14th straight year NU has signed at least one player from the Golden State. Brown was a standout at Junipero Serra High School as a senior with 77 tackles, including 32 solo stops, and he also had 2.5 sacks and a pair of pass deflections. His play helped Coach Scott Altenberg's Serra High team to an 11-2 record and a Central Coast Section Division I title. The section championship was the first for the school since 1990. The 6-2, 210-pound Brown played his junior season at St. Anthony High School and racked up 96 tackles and five sacks for St. Anthony during the 2010 campaign. Brown was regarded among the top 75 prospects in California by both 247 Sports and Rivals.com. He was also ranked as the 17th-best inside linebacker prospect in the country by 247, while Rivals.com and Scout.com also listed him among the top 50 inside linebacker prospects. Brown visited Arizona State, and also had scholarship offers from Colorado, Utah and SMU among others.
Brown is the son of Thomas Brown and Lashanda Parks, and he was born on June 23, 1994.

Supposing that you have some of this stuff already we will try to make a list of everything that belongs in the basic /5 tool kit. Remember there are other tools you will need but this is the on board tool kit. To begin;
5 Hex Key wrenches also called Inner Hex wrenches. You need 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm. Ordinary good quality hex wrenches will work fine. But not cheapo ones, they will round off.
Several special tools are needed in the on board tool kit. 71 11 1 237 857 is the ring spanner that fits the swing arm nuts on one end, 27 mm, and the other end fits the center nut and other parts of the front forks, it is 36 mm.
Another special wrench you will need is the hook spanner with pins for the top covers of the fork tubes. It is # 71 11 1 237 858
There is a third special spanner for /5s but I don't have one so I don't know the #.
You need a socket for the spark plugs. The tubular one in the stock kit is a good one. It has a Tommy bar that can also be use to remove stubborn axles. The spark plug socket is #71 11 1 237 856 the Tommy bar is #71 11 2 301 357
There is a special feeler gauge that is still available and belongs in the on board tool kit. It is shorter and makes it much easier to do some of the operations needed. It covers all the sizes needed for the setting of valve lash, ignition point gap, spark plug gap and a setting needed on the brake master cylinder (used only rarely when replacing, rebuilding the MC) It is part # 71 11 9 090 154
You need a test light, a continuity light. They are a common tool for tracing wiring problems. There is a German one made by Stahwillie and is a nice one but a common test light will work fine.
It is recommended to carry a couple of short tire irons. I one several and a long one too. And if using tube tires, which you will be using, a tube patching kit. There is an on board tire pump that has a special place to store on the bike.
There will be more, to be continued.
Never memorize something you can look up.

She got game: sports licensing welcomes women.
At LIMA's Licensing '98 International convention, the WNBA will be represented by Mattel, which plans to unveil a WNBA Barbie line in the fall. The doll has shooting motion and comes with her own basketball and backboard; Mattel is also planning on fashion accessories and action figures. The connotations of the Barbie affiliation notwithstanding, the WNBA has taken pains to avoid pigeonholing itself as a game for little girls. According to Sandy DeShong, director of Special Properties at the NBA, the key marketing focus is on "building a brand, building the sport." Though "young girls, young women and even older women" constitute the central demographic, according to DeShong, the league wants to "reach boys as much as girls."
In this regard, DeShong said that the WNBA is looking to emphasize "more than one particular product." Spurred by league-wide average attendance of more than 9,500 and an expansion strategy of two new teams per season, sales of WNBA merchandise have been brisk and broad. The league's signature orange and off-white Official Game Ball sold roughly 100,000 units last season. Champion, the exclusive apparel provider for the league, now offers more than 10 items and has added new products (polo shirts, shooting pants) to its roster of replica jerseys and jogbras. Duffel bags from Accessory Network, ceramic mugs from Hunter Manufacturing, even gold necklaces from Michael Anthony Jewelers contribute to the marketing assault. As the league readies for its second go-round in June, the number of retailers has expanded considerably; the list of licensees now includes products ranging from Pinnacle trading cards to Bulova watches.
The ABL, meanwhile, already boasts licensees Reebok, Baden Basketballs and Courts & Cards, and the league will have a stand at the Licensing Show for the first time in 1998. Flush from a 23 percent increase in attendance, the league will add two more teams (in Chicago and Nashville) and double its marketing budget for the coming season. Carla Peyton, vp of Properties for the ABL, echoed DeShong by saying, "We're an all-product category, not exclusively female." In Peyton's eyes, the biggest boost to ABL merchandise sales is the fact that the players have connected with the fans on a personal level: "The players make hundreds of personal appearances. When they play for a team, they move to that town." The folks from the rival league agree that female players have helped set a fresh tone for the games. Teri Schindler, director of Broadcasting for the WNBA, said: "The atmosphere is very different from that found at NBA games. It's a party atmosphere. Fans see these players as friends." Heidi Uebberoth, vp of International the WNBA, enthused: "There's something unique about these women and this league. The players play with such energy, such a sense of enjoyment."
The rapport meshes nicely with the fact that almost a quarter of American women already own NBA licensed product. In fact, the female hoops demographic has long been a sleeping giant. A 1997 Spring Simmons study reported that there are 24 million adult female NBA fans in the United States, and that they comprise 40 percent of the league's total adult fan base, while 80 million women play basketball worldwide. The Olympic performances of a number of women's teams earned the attention of both sexes; the women's basketball Final - in which the U.S. knocked off Brazil - earned a 15.5 rating and a 33 share.
The Olympic ratings success underlines the fact that both leagues possess licensing's biggest ally: television. In its first year, the WNBA enjoyed significant domestic air time on NBC (2.0 rating, 7.0 share), ESPN (0.9 rating, 1.8 share) and Lifetime (0.5 rating, 1.1 share). Overseas, the WNBA (a third of which consists of foreign players) was broadcast by 12 international telecasters in 10 different languages to more than 165 countries. On NBC Europe, the WNBA reached more than 73 million television households, while ESPN International carried games into 26 million homes in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. The league's international television reach will expand to Greece (through SuperSport) and Gems Television, a women's cable network that spans 20 countries in Latin America. The ABL aired games last year on the Fox Sports Network and Black Entertainment Television, for a combined reach of nearly 100 million homes.
The issue, clearly, is no longer whether a women's basketball league can make it, but rather how many women's leagues will be able to persevere in the widening world of sports. Most agree that the continued survival and expansion of women's athletics in general depends on the quality of the competition once the novelty wears off. The WNBA's Schindler is certain that her league and its products are in no danger: "It is a sport. These are the best players in the world." Minard Hamilton, senior vp at ESPN International, seconded that opinion: "It's a good sporting event. These are compelling games. We're quite happy with the production quality, which is as good as the NBA." And Schindler spoke for many when she welcomed the competition, be it from the ABL or from other women's professional leagues: "Whatever's good for women's sports is good for us."

Kill The DJ Part 1
Club culture is not only about hedonism and losing control. From the early days of French Touch the Parisian collective Kill The DJ (Fanny Corral, Stéphanie Fichard, and Ivan Smagghe) has proven that club culture has also something to do with political activism and gender. Kill The DJ has simply created Paris' best parties since Le Palace at famous lesbian club Le Pulp, bringing deviance back to club culture. The music label Kill The DJ is the home of Battant, Georges Issakidis and Chloé. In this show you can expect one hour of noisy, dirty talking – as underground music should be. Welcome to the dark side of the French Touch.
Paris France
Crème Brûlée dives headfirst into the treasure chest of French electronic music with a feature on Kill The DJ. Bon appetit!
Even when they're not dominating the world with their definitive take on house music, or the mixture of electronic and rock hybrids that only they can do, the French underground buzzes with experimentation and zeitgeist-testing possibility. Crème Brûlée looks at some of the maverick characters from French counter-culture, from the 60s through to the present day.
