***AND MORE! All funders $20 or over now get exclusive Hairy Steve bottle opener keyrings too! (more details in the 'updates' tab***
***JUST ADDED! All funders $20 or over now get stickers and badges too! (more details in the 'updates' tab***
"They say he was created by darkness itself, a manifest of the shadows he now confines himself to. The Monstrum of our town. The Hunter. Where he walks, darkness follows. Where darkness lays, death comes upon.
That's what I heard anyway. Or it might have been a movie."
Hairy Steve is a dark brooding beast, a freakish hairy hero just trying to keep himself to himself. Hiding away in the dark. Bothering no one. An outsider trying to ignore the world, but constantly being dragged back into it.
Steve finds humans annoying, despite spending his days pulling them from the jaws of danger. See, humans don't understand Steve, and he thinks they're idiots, but one thing he hates more than humans is injustice. So if someone's in danger or there is a crime afoot, Steve reluctantly emerges from his hiding to help.
Tonight, however, events are about to spiral rapidly out of control and drag him right down with them. As Steve accidentally crunches a zombie's skull, the city begins to fill with the walking undead. And an elderly Nazi socialite, buxom nurse and seemingly random crime increase all have something to do with it. As we crash, smash and explode our way to the finale, Steve might just have to save everyone in this godforsaken town, or die trying.
'Hairy Steve vs. The Zombie Army' is a 24-page black and white comic book, written by Jamie Smart and illustrated by Steve Bright. It's both hilarious and brutal, featuring lashings of swearing, violence, and other glorious wrongdoings.
(by Jamie Smart)
Here's the rub. I worked alongside Steve Bright quite a few years ago on a popular UK children's comic and was always blown away by his artwork. I'd been writing a more grown-up comic book called Hairy Steve, but didn't feel like it was something I could draw myself. It needed real OOMPH in the art, and Steve's style would be perfect for it, so I took him the idea and was chuffed when he agreed to have a crack at it. As the first few pages of finished artwork came back I was convinced this could really be something, the partnership between us produced work I'm incredibly proud of. However, after only completing four pages, time and circumstance conspired to leave Hairy Steve behind and we both returned to doing paid work instead.
I often yearned to see Hairy Steve fully realised, and poked mister Bright about it a few times over the years. But although Steve enjoyed the idea of completing this comic as much as me, realistically he couldn't afford to take such a huge chunk of time out to devote to it. So this year, I suggested the idea of funding this project online. It seemed absolutely ideal, with your help this goes from being a whimsical side-project to a paying gig for Steve (who is as hard a working self-employed illustrator as anyone), meaning he can spend the time on it that it deserves. I get to see my idea made (hairy) flesh, and you get a cracking comic book out of it. Everyone wins!
Our goal was set at $2,000. A small chunk of this will pay for the limited-run printing of the Hairy Steve comic, and all that's left will go to the artist Steve Bright. I will take no profit from this, I want to see if this system works and if the incredible work Steve's putting into our comic will reap reward.
We reached, and passed, our goal in just the first three days of our campaign! Thank you so much to everyone for your support and goodwill, needless to say we really appreciate it. Oh and as of tonight, Indiegogo had us on their frontpage as a featured campaign!
We reached, and passed, our goal in just the first three days of our campaign! Thank you so much to everyone for your support and goodwill, needless to say we really appreciate it. Oh and as of tonight, Indiegogo had us on their frontpage as a featured campaign!
The campaign is still open for the rest of its run, to see just how far we can take this. We were bowled over by the response, so anyone who still wants a copy of the comic, or the original sketches or other perks, are very welcome to still help the fund. It all goes to keeping Hairy Steve going!

We said that when we reached a quarter of our goal, we'd start putting Hairy Steve online as a webcomic. Since we long since passed that, the webcomic is now live at http://www.hairysteve.com come and have a read (a new page every week)! We believe free comics to read on the internet are a wonderful thing, as such we're happy to showcase what we're working on, in the hope people will enjoy it, spread the word, and may be inspired to contribute.
a) You have brought Hairy Steve online as a webcomic quicker.
b) You receive a variety of benefits (listed on the right), including a copy of the exclusive printed comic (which will include extra material such as development art)
c) You ensure this model works. And if this model works, it means comic book artists struggling to find a balance between webcomics and paid comics find a middle-ground where it works for everyone. From our point of view, we'd love to further the adventures of Hairy Steve, and are hoping this campaign will allow us to consider it!
And if you can't contribute, please help us spread the word, everytime you tell someone or share it online it really helps our campaign! And check back for news of when the webcomic version goes live, along with previews and extra bonus incentives added as we go along!
You can contribute via paypal or by card (using paypal - you don't need an account!)
Note – all rewards for contributions will be sent out as soon as we can, once the total is reached and we know what is going where. Please allow time to produce sketches, get the comic printed, etc.

Everton attacker Steven Naismith says they're not giving up on the top four.
Everton face Manchester City this weekend needing a win to stay in touch with fourth place.
Naismith told evertontv: "All we are concentrating on is securing European football.
"We would be so disappointed if we couldn't finish in fifth. I think we have deserved it for the way we have played this season and the push we have had for fourth.
"It's disappointing that [it seems] we have missed out on that [finishing fourth] because, although it's not mathematically impossible, we slipped up against Crystal Palace and at the weekend.
"We will definitely be doing all we can but Arsenal have capitalised. We will fight to the end but the main thing is that we have got to finish fifth."

Gamification: Gartner Says Don't Believe the Hype

Gartner says 80% of current applications that use some sort of game elements will fail to meet business objectives in the next two years because of poor design. The problem, Gartner analyst Brian Burke said Thursday, is that many companies are slapping gaming elements, such as badges, points and leader boards, onto applications without creating a business case for the tools.

A grope too far: Fliers' anger at TSA boils over
How did an agency created to protect the public become the target of so much public scorn?
After nine years of funneling travelers into ever longer lines with orders to have shoes off, sippy cups empty and laptops out for inspection, the most surprising thing about increasingly heated frustration with the federal Transportation Security Administration may be that it took so long to boil over.
Even Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is not subjected to security pat-downs when she travels, understands the public's irritation. She, for one, wouldn't want to go through such scrutiny.
"Not if I could avoid it. No. I mean, who would?" Clinton told CBS' "Face the Nation" in an interview broadcast Sunday.
The agency, a marvel of nearly instant government when it was launched in the fearful months following the 9/11 terror attacks, started out with a strong measure of public goodwill. Americans wanted the assurance of safety when they boarded planes and entrusted the government with the responsibility.
But in episode after episode since then, the TSA has demonstrated a knack for ignoring the basics of customer relations, while struggling with what experts say is an all but impossible task. It must stand as the last line against unknown terror, yet somehow do so without treating everyone from frequent business travelers to the family heading home to visit grandma as a potential terrorist.
The TSA "is not a flier-centered system. It's a terrorist-centered system and the travelers get caught in it," said Paul Light, a professor of public service at New York University who has tracked the agency's effectiveness since its creation.
That built-in conflict is at the heart of a growing backlash against the TSA for ordering travelers to step before a full-body scanner that sees through their clothing, undergo a potentially invasive pat-down or not fly at all.
"After 9/11 people were scared and when people are scared they'll do anything for someone who will make them less scared," said Bruce Schneier, a Minneapolis security technology expert who has long been critical of the TSA. "But ... this is particularly invasive. It's strip-searching. It's body groping. As abhorrent goes, this pegs it."
A traveler in San Diego, John Tyner, has become an Internet hero after resisting both the scan and the pat-down, telling a TSA screener: "If you touch my junk, I'm gonna have you arrested." That has helped ignite a campaign urging people to refuse such searches on Nov. 24, which immediately precedes Thanksgiving and is one of the year's busiest travel days.
The outcry, though, "is symptomatic of a bigger issue," said Geoff Freeman, executive vice president of the U.S. Travel Association, an industry group that says it has received nearly 1,000 calls and e-mails from consumers about the new policy in the last week.
"It's almost as if it's a tipping point," Freeman said. "What we've heard from travelers time and again is that there must be a better way."
Indeed, TSA has a history of stirring public irritation. There was the time in 2004 when Sen. Ted Kennedy complained after being stopped five times while trying to board planes because a name similar to his appeared on the agency's no-fly list. And the time in 2006 when a Maine woman went public with her tale of being ordered by a TSA agent to dump the gel packs she was using to cool bags of breast milk. And the time in 2007, when a Washington, D.C., woman charged that another TSA agent threatened to have her arrested for spilling water out of her child's sippy cup.

The EU and U.S. are the biggest economic and military powers in the world (even if the EU does not have a common defense policy), they dominate global trade, they play the leading roles in international political relations, and what one says matters a great deal not only to the other, but to much of the rest of the world.[4] And yet they have regularly disagreed with each other on a wide range of specific issues, as well as having often quite different political, economic, and social agendas. Due to the European Union not having a fully integrated foreign policy, relations could be more complicated where the EU did not have a common agreed position e.g. EU foreign policy was divided during the Iraq War. Understanding the relationship today means reviewing developments that predate the creation of the European Economic Community (precursor to today's European Union).
Key events in the evolving history of the relationship include the following:
- Berlin wall
- The 1962 Cuban missile crisis, which alarmed western Europeans not only because it took the world to the brink of nuclear war, but also because they were not fully appraised by the Kennedy administration
- 1966 French withdrawal from military structure of NATO, emphasizing French distrust of U.S. foreign policy and international influence
- The Vietnam War, opposed by public opinion in the United States, later generated resentment of the U.S. in Europe
- End of the Bretton Woods system 1971, brought about by the Nixon administration without reference to western European leaders
- Ostpolitik, which alarmed the United States because of West German outreach to East Germany
- 1973 – Yom Kippur War, which created serious rift between Americans and Europeans
- 1979 – Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
- 1980 Moscow Olympics, the boycott of which won little European support
- 1990–91 Gulf War, which found the western Europeans deeply divided in the face of American military and political leadership
- 1991 outbreak of the Yugoslav Wars, which found the Europeans again divided, and unprepared to present a unified policy
- 2003 invasion of Iraq, which brought U.S.–EU divisions out into the open
- 2013 start the negotiations of a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)
Euro-American relations are primarily concerned with trade policy. The EU is a near-fully unified trade bloc and this, together with competition policy, are the primary matters of substance currently between the EU and the USA. The two together represent 60% of global GDP, 33% of world trade in goods and 42% of world trade in services. The growth of the EU's economic power has led to a number of trade conflicts between the two powers; although both are dependent upon the other's economic market and disputes affect only 2% of trade. See below for details of trade flows;[5]
|Direction of trade
|EU to US
|€260 billion
|€139.0 billion
|€112.6 billion
|€511.6 billion
|US to EU
|€127.9 billion
|€180 billion
|€144.5 billion
|€452.4 billion
In 2007, a Transatlantic Economic Council was established to direct economic cooperation between the two. It is headed by the U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economic Affairs and the EU's Commissioner for Trade. However, it is yet to produce solid results. A Transatlantic Free Trade Area had been proposed in the 1990s and later in 2006 by German Chancellor Angela Merkel in reaction to the collapse of the Doha round of trade talks. However, protectionism on both sides may be a barrier to any future agreement.[6][7]

Arms embargo on the People's Republic of China[edit]
Both the United States and the European Union as of 2010[update] have an arms embargo against China (PRC), put in place in 1989 after the events of Tiananmen Square. The U.S. and some EU members continue to support the ban but others, spearheaded by France, have been attempting to persuade the EU to lift the ban, arguing that more effective measures can be imposed, but also to improve trade relations between China and certain EU states. The United States strongly opposes this, and after the PRC passed an anti-secession law against Taiwan the likelihood of the ban being lifted diminished somewhat.
Boeing and Airbus subsidies[edit]
The two companies are the major competing aircraft manufacturers, and both Boeing and Airbus are accused of receiving forms of subsidy from the United States[8] and from some of the European Union member states respectively, which both sides have criticised each other for doing so. The pressure for this issue to be resolved has increased as Airbus and Boeing are now nearly equal in commercial aircraft market share.
Defence contracts[edit]
In March 2010 EADS and its U.S. partner pulled out of a contract to build air refuelling planes worth $35 billion. They had previously won the bid but it was rerun and EADS claimed the new process was biased towards Boeing. The European Commission said it would be "highly regrettable" if the tendering process did prove to be biased. There was substantial opposition to EADS in Washington due to the ongoing Boeing-Airbus (owned by EADS) dispute.[9][10]
Genetically modified food[edit]
Genetically modified food is another significant area of disagreement between the two. The EU has been under domestic pressure to restrict the growth and import of genetically modified foods until their safety is proven to the satisfaction of the populace. On the other hand, the United States is under pressure from its agricultural businesses to force the EU to accept imports, seeing the EU's restrictions as alarmist and protectionist.
The Washington Post claimed on November 2, 2005, that the United States was maintaining several secret jails (or "black sites") in Eastern Europe (also called black sites). Poland and Romania, however, have denied these allegations. Also, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) planes carrying terror suspects would have made secret stopovers in several West European countries since 2001. Belgium, Iceland, Spain, and Sweden have launched investigations. The Guardian calculated on November 30 that CIA planes landed about 300 times on European air ports. Most planes would have landed in Germany and the United Kingdom as a transit point to East Europe, North Africa (possibly Morocco and Egypt), or the Middle East (possibly Syria and Jordan). In the meanwhile, the European Commission, on behalf of the European Union, asked the United States for a clarification. The EU has refused to confirm or deny the reports.[11][12][13][14][15]
Extraordinary rendition flights through Europe were investigated over a number of years by the European Parliament and it held a temporary committee on the matter. The EU has also opposed the use of Guantanamo Bay detention camp and offered to host some former inmates when its closure was announced by the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama.
Death penalty[edit]
In the United States, capital punishment is a legal form of punishment, whereas all European member states have fully abolished the death penalty, and consider its use to be a violation of fundamental human rights. This occasionally causes problems with EU-US relations, because it is illegal in the EU to allow the extradition of a citizen to a country where the death penalty is a legal punishment, unless a guarantee is given that such punishment will not be used.
International Criminal Court[edit]
Positions in the United States concerning the ICC vary widely. The Clinton Administration signed the Rome Statute in 2000, but did not submit it for Senate ratification. The Bush Administration, the US administration at the time of the ICC's founding, stated that it would not join the ICC. The Obama Administration has subsequently re-established a working relationship with the court.[16][Broken Citation]
Arab-Israeli conflict[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2010)
In the Arab-Israeli conflict, both sides of the Atlantic usually act more or less in tandem, in regard to the approach to the Palestinian territories as well as other issues (such as the recent conflict in Lebanon). However, in general, the European Union is often more critical of Israel, particularly in issues of policy (such as the West Bank barrier), and has criticized Israeli military actions that the United States has supported. The United States has historically been a much more supportive ally, going so far as to even use its veto at the United Nations Security Council in Israel's support.
Iran's nuclear program[edit]
The United States has not ruled out the use of force against Iran regarding the Iranian nuclear program. France, Germany and the United Kingdom have taken the lead to solve the issue diplomatically, while representing the interests of the United States in negotiations with Iran since the United States has had no official diplomatic relations with the country since 1979. Former UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw described military action against Iran as "inconceivable".[17]
Iraq War[edit]
The Iraq War divided opinions within European nations and within the U.S., with some states supporting of military action, and some against. The European public opinion was staunchly opposed to the war. This caused a major transatlantic rift, especially between the states led by France and Germany[18][19] on the one hand, who were against military action, and the United States with United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Poland, among others.[20]
Kyoto protocol[edit]
The European Union is one of the main backers of the Kyoto protocol, which aims to combat global warming. The United States which initially signed the protocol at its creation during the Clinton Administration, never had the measure ratified by the United States Senate, an essential requirement to give the protocol the force of law in the United States. Later, in March 2001, under President George W. Bush, the United States removed its signature from the protocol, leading to much acrimony between the United States and European nations. In 2008, President Barack Obama said that he planned on setting annual targets to reduce emissions,[21][22] although this doesn't include the Kyoto protocol—likely because developing nations are exempt.[23]
Visa waiver reciprocity[edit]
The EU is requesting from the U.S. reciprocity regarding the visa waiver program for all its members. The European Union has threatened with the possibility of imposing visas for American citizens that would extend to the entire EU. In 2008, many of the EU's new Central European members were granted visa-free access to the US, and currently, five out of 28 EU members (Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Poland, and Romania) lack such access.
Secret documents obtained by German news magazine Der Spiegel in 2013 state that European Union offices in the United States and United Nations headquarters have been targeted for spying by the National Security Agency, an intelligence office operated by the United States government. The reports revealed that the United States bugged offices, accessed internal computer networks, obtained documents and emails, and listened to phone calls.[24] Subsequent reports from the media further state that domestic European Union offices in Brussels have also been targeted; along with EU offices, embassies of India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea and Turkey are also listed as targets in the documents.[25] On June 30, 2013, the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz demanded for a full clarification from Washington and stated that if the allegations were true, EU and U.S. relations would be severely impacted.[24]
Resolved issues[edit]
Banana wars[edit]
The EU and United States have had a long-running dispute over the EU's banana imports.[26][27] As part of their international aid, the EU offered tenders on a first-come-first-served basis for bananas from countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. The United States argued that this favoured local producers in former colonies of EU member-states, over U.S.-owned corporations in Latin America. The Clinton administration responded by imposing heavy tariffs on luxury goods created in the EU.[28] Such goods included cashmere from Scotland and French Cognac brandy, made in the original constituency of then Prime Minister of France Jean-Pierre Raffarin. The Clinton administration then took the banana wars to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1999, when Chiquita made a $500,000 donation to the Democratic Party.[26] The two sides reached an agreement in 2001.[29]
U.S. steel tariffs[edit]
In 2002, the U.S. imposed steel tariffs to protect its steel industry. The European Union and other countries took up the issue with the WTO, which ruled that such tariffs breach its regulations. Subsequently, by December 2003, the tariffs had been lifted by the U.S. administration.
The current EU ambassador to the United States is João Vale de Almeida and the EU's embassy in Washington, D.C., was the first overseas delegation of the EU to open.
The U.S. ambassador to the EU is William Kennard.[30] The United States was the first third-country to recognise the EU's earliest forerunner, the European Coal and Steel Community, and first appointed an observer in 1953: David E. Bruce. Their first mission opened in 1956.[31]
The Transatlantic Economic Council is headed by the U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economic Affairs and the EU's Commissioner for Trade.
The Quint[edit]
The Quint (or NATO Quint) is an informal decision-making group consisting of five leading western nations: the US and the EU big four (France, Germany, Italy and the UK).[32] It operates as a "directoire" of various entities such as NATO and the G8/G20.[33][34]
The idea of a trilateral axis on foreign policy issues was proposed by French President Charles de Gaulle to his British and American counterparts (see Fouchet Plan). However, that plan was never implemented. Meetings between the foreign ministers of these three countries and West Germany became known as Quad meetings around 1980. They were largely symbolic and led to no real decision.[35] The Quint in its current form seems to have begun as the Contact Group excluding Russia. Nowadays, Quint leaders discuss all major international topics partecipating in video conferences once every two weeks or meeting one another in various forums such as NATO, the OSCE and the UN. The Quint meets also at ministerial and experts' level.[36] [37][38]

I'm interested in both revitabust breast enlargement pills and the depo provera birth control shot. But if I take both of them at the same time, could they cause health problems or interfere with each other? Note that revitabust does NOT contain estrogen nor does depo provera.
I do not believe that the Revitabust will interfere with the effectiveness of the depo shots, and I also do not believe it will cause any health issue.
I will tell you, however, that in my professional opinion – Revitabust and products of a similar ilk are CATEGORICALLY AND TOTALLY A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.

Lacrosse Braces and Supports
Injuries to the knee and ankle are very common for sports like lacrosse that involve lots of running. If the surface on the field is uneven, a simple misstep may lead to an ankle rollover injury or even an ankle sprain. Knee injuries are also quite frequent in lacrosse, since sudden changes in direction and speed may cause the ligaments in the knee to move farther than their natural range of motion. This type of movement causes knee strain and ligament tears. These ankle and knee injuries may lead to a lacrosse player missing several weeks of playtime, or even an entire season. Wearing lacrosse braces and supports may help prevent these types of injuries from occurring by providing added stabilization to your knees and ankles. This is especially important if the athlete has been previously injured so that there's ample protection from re-injury. Check out these lacrosse braces and supports recommended by our brace coaches today!

He thanked his wife. He thanked his campaign manager. He thanked his senior advisers.
It was a farewell address.
Giuliani even made a joking reference to his more moderate views on social issues -- abortion, guns, gay and lesbian rights -- that alienated many in the Republican base.
"We are the party of the people," he said. "And we're a big party. We're a big party, and we're getting bigger. I'm even in this party. This is a big party."
After his speech, when reporters asked him what he would do next, all Giuliani would say was that he was flying to California.
His endorsement would not come as a surprise.
Even as a candidate himself, campaigning in Iowa, Giuliani said, "I happen to be a very big admirer of Sen. McCain, and I can tell you quite honestly that if I weren't running for president I would be here supporting him. If for some reason I made a decision not to run, he'd be my candidate."
After Giuliani left the ballroom Tuesday evening, McCain came on stage in Miami.
"I want to thank, my dear friend Rudy Giuliani," McCain said, "who invested his heart and soul in this primary, and who conducted himself with all the qualities of the exceptional American leader he truly is."
Then in a clear indication he knew Giuliani was bowing out, McCain said, "Thank you for all you have added to this race, and for being an inspiration to me and millions of Americans."
Giuliani set up the Sunshine State as make or break, and it broke him.
On Election Day, plummeting polls hanging like a noose, Giuliani swung through southern Florida -- Miami to Fort Lauderdale to Pompano Beach to Del Ray Beach.
This was supposed to be his stronghold, but crowds were sparse.
Potential Giuliani supporters said they were concerned about wasting their vote by casting their lot with him. They wanted their ballot to mean something in the face-off between McCain and Romney.
Giuliani knew it was coming. His meetings with supporters and volunteers were bittersweet. Hugs and kisses. Farewell, friends.
As Giuliani entered the campaign's Broward County headquarters, the former New York Mayor was greeted by a tanned state representative in short sleeves.
"That first fundraiser," state Rep. Carl Domino, Giuliani's Palm Beach County coordinator, nostalgically said to him. Domino had hosted a fundraiser for Giuliani in his home March 31.
"You've been there from the beginning," Giuliani said, giving him a hug.
Domino seemed resigned to an imminent end to the campaign. And he said Giuliani's strategy of largely bypassing the early states and focusing everything on the Sunshine State was a mistake.
"You gotta show you can compete," he told ABC News, adding that decent showings in New Hampshire and South Carolina would have helped Giuliani immeasurably. "He didn't have to win, he just had to be competitive," Domino said. "But they didn't ask me."
When asked whether the strategy was a mistake, actor Jon Voight -- who endorsed and traveled with Giuliani throughout Florida -- said, "There will be time to assess all that after today, and maybe it should be assessed."

CHARLESTON – Students across Logan County are enjoying free field trips thanks to funding provided by the Clay Center. The Center is using all of the proceeds from ticket sales of its three sold-out December concerts by Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. to offer one-time free admission to schoolchildren in Logan County.
The $30,000 given by the Center can be used for art and science museum gallery visits, films, planetarium shows and even tickets to "Classroom in the Clay Center" performances.
The Center had first planned to use a portion of the proceeds from Landau's originally-scheduled performance to fund field trips for Logan County schools. After two more shows sold out, Clay Center President and CEO Judy Wellington said the Center reevaluated the situation and saw potential for a greater gift.
"When we looked at the numbers and realized how close we were to funding a trip for every student, we decided to put 100 percent of the net proceeds into an access fund for Logan County schools," she said. "The money will stay in the fund until it has been used and all students in Logan County have had the opportunity to experience hands-on art and science education at the Center."
Wellington said only about 10 percent of Logan County students visit the Center each year – a significantly lower number than neighboring counties like Boone and Lincoln.
"Schools have trouble planning field trips for many reasons – ticket fees, transportation costs, bus availability, time, distance and other factors," she said. "This was something we could do to make learning outside the classroom more accessible for Logan County students. Since Landau is from that area, it made perfect sense."
Students from Verdunville Elementary, Omar Elementary, Holden Elementary, Logan Elementary, Logan Middle and Chapmanville Middle have already taken advantage of the opportunity to visit the Clay Center for free. Trips have also been scheduled for groups from Buffalo Elementary and some of the schools already mentioned.
Chapmanville Middle School Assistant Principal Stephanie Clapham said the funding went a long way in helping her students explore the Center's science galleries, watch giant screen film "Roar: Lions of the Kalahari" and learn about chemistry, physics and physical science through interactive science demonstrations.

From the Publisher"...will provide a wealth of material for the historian." Allen Horstman, Albion College, Historian
"Sweeping and compelling....[Karsten] has compiled a wealth of fascinating information, nicely categorized...and for that readers owe him thanks." Perspectives on Political Science
"A unique and convincing picture that will be an inspiration and a model for future comparative legal histories." History
"Here is another monument to empirical research, Karsten's signature as a legal historian." American Historical Review
"This book will become a classic in legal history and in comparative studies of settler societies. Remarkable for its mastery of detail and stunning in its scope and span, the book covers some three hundred years of history, and an astonishing range of fields of law. It compares the British diaspora societies of South Africa, North America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand (amongst others) to establish that certain patterns of legal adaptation occur in new societies when the laws they inherit from the Old World rub up against the local practices of settlers and indigenous peoples. It will profoundly alter our views about the influence of transplanted institutions and ideas on the 'neo-Europes'". Miles Fairburn, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
"Karsten's admirably researched and infectiously enthusiastic history of the English common law diaspora fills a long-recognized gap in law and history studies. Scholars in diasporic sites have long compared local law with the former center, but Karsten provides a socially contextual comparison of those sites with each other, noting the relevance of both different circumstances and varying kinds of tension between formal law and popular expectations to the production of differing common law regimes. Between Law and Custom opens new possibilities in the legal history field." Ian Duncanson, La Trobe University
Between Law and Custom provides a more complete picture of the common law and its cultures than any other work by a long way. An important book, magisterial in sweep and clearly written, this will be a "must read" in many fields including history, colonialism, aboriginal studies, law and legal theory. It addresses the development of both custom and state law in England and its four major settler colonies (including the USA) over a 300 year time period. This 'breakthrough' book will be of enduring importance." Dr. W. Wesley Pue, Professor of Law and Nemetz Chair in Legal History, University of British Columbia

I will assume by you dodging the age and training experience part of my question that you are under the recommended age for designer supplements and your training experience is little to none. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Nevertheless, you'll do what you want to do so...
...assuming you are 21 years of age and work a desk job your maintenance calories is approx 2000. Working out 5 days a week (which arguably is not ideal for putting on mass) your maintenance is 2600 (2300 if you workout 3 days a week which is what I would recommend). IMO 50/30/20 is a good macro split. As long as you lift heavy and eat above these examples you should start putting on muscle. If you're a hard gainer you may need to increase your calorie intake significantly. We're talking 3000+.
How soon before you see improvements with the Fina? PH's and methylated orals are different with everybody but I would imagine after the second week your weight should go up 5-10lbs. However if your training is not right you may not see improvements at all and if your diet and training is not consistent you'll probably lose what you gained afterward.

A Richmond Heights couple and a University of Akron student are among Ohio residents appearing on some of the 11 billboards in areas including Cleveland and Akron.
"The main idea is to help other freethinkers not be afraid to come out of the closet and know that there are plenty of other people of similar worldview" Mark Tiborsky of Richmond Heights, told The Plain Dealer in Cleveland. Tiborsky and his wife Marni appear together on a billboard in Cleveland.

"I think people need to know that it's OK to have questions and doubts and I believe they need to have a place to discuss those doubts without judgment," he told the Akron Beacon Journal.

text: This week's big movie is She's Out of Your League, and everybody's talking about the film's star, Alice Eve. Okay, I don't know if that's actually true, but after seeing her in a bunch of interviews, I definitely want to talk about her. In particular, I want to talk about these Alice Eve nude pictures from the movie Crossing Over, with Ray Liotta. Not only is she ridiculously hot, but she's also good at doing accents. I don't know what that has to do with anything, but at the very least, you can bet she's most definitely out of your league. Thankfully, we still get to see Alice Eve naked, which would otherwise never be possible.

Game 6: Final wrap
|05.14.09 at 10:06 pm ET
It's all over at Amway Arena where the Celtics failed to score in the final three minutes and 46 seconds in an 83-75 loss to the Orlando Magic, setting up a Game 7 back in Boston Sunday night. The Celtics lost despite holding the Magic to 36 percent shooting, and despite Orlando shooting just 17-for-31 from the free throw line.
It was another difficult night for Ray Allen who was 2-for-11 from the field and missed a couple of wide-open looks. One game after calling out his coach for not getting enough touches, Dwight Howard was immense with 23 points and 22 rebounds.

Stonethrowers lightly wounded an Israeli girl traveling in the West Bank, the third such attack since the relaunch of peace talks this week.
First responders treated the girl on site after the car she was in was stoned in the northern West Bank and evacuated her to a hospital, where she was listed in good condition.
Terrorist gun men killed four Israelis as they drove in a car near Hebron on Tuesday, the day that leaders arrived in Washington for renewed Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
Two Israelis were wounded in another drive-by shooting in the central West Bank on Wednesday.

His party men demand memorial, his allies like BJP support it, now in future his activists will arrange agitations and again he will say; the people want it, we haven't said it.
Poor horses! They must have never thought of the possibility of being asked to leave Mumbai and race outside the city.
For many years now, the rich, affluent and hence the beautiful mass of Mumbai and other parts of India have been visiting racecourse in Mumbai's Mahalaxmi area. The money they spend (most lose the money, few win), the hats they wear and cars they drive is always the subject of extreme curiosity, with a tint of jealousy, for majority of Mumbaikars. I bet, none of the Mumbaikars thought, horse racing was a sport. It was always seen as a gamble and something which people 'who have lots of money' do.
The horses ran for their masters, the masters earned money and status and 0.001% of the population who went to see the race cheered and drank wine. It continued for years after years.
Just for records, I haven't seen any Mumbaikar considering racecourse as the pride of Mumbai. Dhobi ghat, which stands adjacent to the racecourse, is undoubtedly more popular tourist attraction and of more importance, for Mumbaikars. For many of us, it is a piece of land, which exists for the rich; for their marriage ceremonies and for horse racing. That's it!
So, when Shiv Sena, which is ruling the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) decided that it will oppose the extension of lease of the 225 acres of racecourse land, which is expiring on May 31, there was not much criticism from anywhere. Maybe the party, too, hadn't expected that. So the next move was out very quickly.
The racecourse land should be converted in to a theme park and a memorial of Sena chief late Bal Thackeray. Now, we are talking.
After the death of Sena founder, there was a time in Mumbai when proposals of renaming places, buildings, and grounds after the leader's name kept on coming. It was a situation as if; the entire Mumbai was to be renamed after the late leader. It didn't happen, thankfully. Sena which was hoping to build a memorial on Shivaji Park, had to retreat due to stringent CRZ rules and opposition from locals. The party was not able to find the place ever since, which they found in racecourse.
Party has said that Mumbai is lacking of open spaces and gardens and racecourse land can be turned in to one. Oh yes, you have been ruling the city for almost two decades now. The unauthorized structures grew, open spaces shrunk, traffic worsened…and so on. It all happened when your party was in charge of the city. Why didn't you bother to take some action then on builders and contractors?
Party also said the racecourse was never open to common public, though it is the condition put in the lease agreement. I am unable to understand this. Who had stopped Sena led civic body from taking actions, if they had known the violation of lease agreement?
And most importantly, Uddhav Thackeray said that he will welcome the idea of memorial if people are of the same opinion.
How ridiculous! His party men demand memorial, his allies like BJP support it, now in future his activists will arrange agitations and again he will say; the people want it, we haven't said it.
I am not concerned about racecourse, honestly. The people, who attend it, except for few, can even fly down to some new place where the racecourse will be shifted, to watch horseracing. Yes, those who are dependent on racecourse as an employee, should be considered before taking any decision.
The decision on racecourse is pending and will be taken by month end. A simple question which comes in my mind, is, the land belongs to the government and we are talking of building a memorial of a person who was never the people's elected representative neither he held any official post. The person has been named in the Shrikrishna commission report on Bombay riots. The person had openly supported the dictatorship of Hitler and denounced democracy. The person is accused of spreading hatred among communities. Is it fair for the government machinery to allow such memorial on 225 acres of state land?

Even as the six-year old girl child in Vibgyor High school was sexually assaulted by the school staff members, on July 2, another ugly offence called corporal punishment came into the limelight.
As per the first information report, the child was sent into a dark room as punishment for misbehaviour, and during that phase of punishment, the school fitness centre instructor and a security guard brutally assaulted the girl. Although the teacher who had punished the child was aware that she was hurt, she tried to conceal the incident by giving first aid. The child who had been getting fever intermittently was later examined medically to confirm that she was sexually assaulted.
As per the Right to compulsory Education Act (RTE) 2009, children cannot be subject to corporal punishment which is a criminal offence. Vasudeva Sharma, director, Child Rights Trust, says, "Threatening a child by itself is an offence and is accounted as corporal punishment as per the RTE Act. In this unfortunate incident, the teacher had sent the child into the dark room as punishment where the child was sexually assaulted by the employees. This is equal to corporal punishment and the teacher is equally accountable for having put the child in a susceptible situation.
Apart from traumatizing the child, even after knowing about the incident the teacher hushed up the evidences hindering investigation." Sharma pointed out that the teacher is also accountable under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offence Act 2012 (POCSO) for having subjected the child in a vulnerable situation thus exposing the child to immense danger.
Dr K John Vijay Sagar, Associate Professor, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, NIMHANS, said, "Any form of punishment for young children is a very upsetting and traumatic experience for them. Children as old as four or five years may not be able to talk about the punishment and may express so in behaviour like anger or crying. Corporal punishment affects the self esteem of the child, and he or she may develop school refusal behaviour because of an incident or a teacher. When the child has been sexually assaulted, psychological councelling has to be given with constant support."
"Some of indicators for assault are clingy behaviour, withdrawal, anxiety, trauma, inappropriate sexual behaviour by children in extreme cases. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights has laid down effective guidelines against corporal punishment," Dr Sagar explained.

The number of British Islamist fighters rises, and so does the UK's threat level
Friday, August 29, 2014
British Prime Minister David Cameron says "the threat is growing" from groups like ISIS and the British subjects they've attracted to the fight in the Middle East. That's why the British government raised its terror alert level on Friday, but few other details are coming out about the threat.

It was the third ball of the fifth over. Sachin Tendulkar was looking good, but a slower one from Ishant Sharma foxed the maestro and disturbed the woodwork. Bowled!
That was the first time Sharma got the better of Tendulkar. "It's a great feeling to get him out. That's the one wicket you never want to forget, how you got him out. So obviously, that was quite emotional and a big wicket for me," the pacer says.
With 12 wickets from 10 games, Sharma has done well in IPL 6. And his team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, have turned out to be the dark horses. "The team and the bunch of guys we have are really good. We are winning matches because of the team and not because of one individual," he says.
Hyderabad have been punching above their weight and defending small totals time and again. "We have a good bowling attack. We have belief in our batsmen and the batsmen believe us bowlers. That's why things have been going in our favour," he adds.
Bowling alongside the likes of Dale Steyn and being mentored by Waqar Younis is an added incentive for the lanky pacer. "I spoke to him (Waqar) a couple of times and he taught me a lot of things. Dale is also there. The good part about these two guys is they don't want to change anything in your bowling technique because it's not all about technique. If your basics are right and you believe in your ability, then it's all about working on tactics," he says.
From tormenting Ricky Ponting in Perth to getting Tendulkar bowled, Sharma has come a long way. "At that time, I didn't know anything. I just bowled. Now, I am a mature bowler. I know where I have to bowl. I have plans for every single batsman. I have evolved into a thinking bowler now," the 24-year-old says.
And he is content with his pace too. "I am still bowling in the 140s. It's different in Tests; you have to see when you need to push and when you don't need to. So I am not worried about any drop in pace. I keep working on pace and bounce. I am bowling fast and I am happy with that."
So does he think he will make the Champions Trophy squad (the selectors meet on Saturday), "It's not in my hands. I can bowl well, I can take wickets, I can perform, that's in my hands. I enjoy my cricket and that's what I am doing at the moment. I don't think I need to worry about selection. If you are bowling well, you will get selected."
He is also impressed with the new crop of fast bowlers. "Good fast bowlers are coming up and we have a bright future. Umesh Yadav, Shami Ahmed, Bhuvneshwar Kumar are all good. Mohit Sharma, who's from Haryana, is also a good prospect. He plays for Chennai Super Kings. So India's future is in safe hands."
Back to the IPL and Sharma wants Sunrisers to make it to the top three. "You can't really predict who will win because there are a lot of big teams. Our motto is to get better as a team, and as individuals," he concludes.
