When I beat you for the ICW World Championship, you're right when you say it didn't even last 15 minutes, but IWA was created and I became head of the midcard division. You joined later on and have had a decent run there so far, but despite that, despite the fact that for pretty much the entirety of ICW, you were the World Champion and outshined everybody. In IWA, you and Carlos rode on and made more of an impact than I had made- yet when it came down to the awards, Kyojin beat Van Hooligan X for that Superstar of the Year too. So how does that feel Van?
Hopefully it doesn't feel too bad, and it won't feel half as bad as you do when I beat you at Bred For Combat. I'm not stupid, I know I won't silence you, because we all know you'll still be running your mouth post-BFC. But what you should think about doing Van is researching excuses, because I'd love to hear your one after I beat you, again.

Giants Tailgate Party Time Explosion #14
- Sports & Fitness
- 24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA, US
Warriors Bus Party Time Explosion
Four Sheets Sports
Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 6:00 PM (PST)
We are completely sold out with a waiting list of almost 40 people. Going to be good times tomorrow. Put down March 30th on your calendar for the next bus party time explosion
In continuing with the great tradition of the Giants Tailgate Party Time Explosions (3 more to come this year) we bring you the Warriors Bus Party Time Explosion. It's time to show some love to a team in Oakland, so on Saturday night, February 2nd, we're gonna pack a party bus and head over to Oracle Arena to watch the Warriors continue what has been an awesome season so far.
There is room for 47 people on the bus (I've got a few extra tickets if anyone can't ride the bus and just wants to meet us at the game). The bus will pick everyone up at Bar None at 6:00 and then head to the game. We'll stock the bus full of booze (beers and mixed drinks) with the plan being that it will be more than enough for both the ride to the game and the ride home afterward. It's a 7:30 tip which means the game will probably end around 10, at which point everyone will just get a ride back to Bar None.
Quick summary of what your ticket includes:
Send any questions to email@example.com.
Hopefully we'll get to see the Black Falcon take flight...

Traction equals performance and for traction you need rubber. The wider the better, but how wide is too wide? Since we don't all own tire and wheel shops, we can't randomly test-fit tire and wheel packages all day just to mount wide rubber. So we need a way to test-fit tires without mounting them on wheels. Lucky for us there's already a company making a tool that allows just that.
The tool is called the Tire Mount Mate from Wheel Works, and it allows test-fitting tires on just about any size wheel and on any car or truck. The tool can simulate wheels from 7 to 16.5 inches wide and can create up to about 12 inches of backspacing. The tool is cast from 1/2-inch-thick aluminum, so it's strong enough to bolt the tire on the car with the suspension, creating just enough down force to simulate the bulge in the sidewall when it's inflated and sitting on the ground. The Mount Mate IS NOT designed to support the weight of the vehicle, so don't lower your car down on it.
Where the Mount Mate really comes in handy is for test-fitting large tires on a car to figure out what backspacing (also referred to as offset) will be needed when you order your wheels. If you want to go drag racing and have a traction problem, this tool allows you to mount the biggest tire you can fit and check clearance even under full suspension compression with the help of a few friends' pushing down on your bumper while the axle is supported on jack stands. The only thing the Mount Mate cannot simulate is how wide the inflation pressure will make the sidewalls grow.
The best way we've found to determine this is to measure a mounted tire's inflated width on the same size wheel you plan to run and compare that to the uninflated tire size as it hangs on the Mount Mate so you'll have a good idea of how much it'll grow. That's important because drag tires have very soft sidewalls that will grow quite a bit when inflated. You'll need to know if the sidewalls will clear your car's wheelwells, frame, and leaf springs or lower control arms. The Mount Mate will let you hang the tire you want under your car and play with wheel backspacing until you get it right.
Up front, the Mount Mate can really help out if you're building a g-Machine and want the widest rubber for grip. Turning the wheels introduces a whole new area of problems with wide front rubber, and braking can compress the suspension enough to make wide tires rub. Again, the Mount Mate can help out here, along with a few friends' pushing down on the front end. With jack stands under both control arms, mounted as close to the tires as possible for leverage, hang a tire on the Mount Mate and bolt it to your car.
Then have your buddies push down on the bumper or frame (don't push on the fenders because they may dent) while you turn the steering wheel lock to lock. You'll need one more sharp-eyed friend to look underneath and see if the tire is hitting anything. Be especially careful to check interference at the tie rod ends and control arms: Remember a wheel will go in there, so leave extra room, because deep wheels with lots of backspacing will hit these spots.
In addition to trying out a few tires with the Mount Mate we've included a bunch of tire and wheel tips for you to check out. If you want to learn more about fitting big tires and wheels on your car and what proper sizing can mean for you, check out the Tire and Wheel Tech Sections on The Tire Rack's Web site at www.tirerack.com. The Mount Mate isn't inexpensive (roughly $300), but get a few friends to go in on it with you (or charge them to use it) and it won't be long before it's paid for. Anyway you slice it, the need for big rubber will always be there, and this is one of the best ways to satisfy it.

Couple embarks on wilderness voyage from Rutland to AlaskaBy Courtney Parker
Staff Writer | March 18,2013Marv and Susan Elliott PHOTO
Marv and Susan Elliott are shown in Talkeetna, Alaska.While some might feel homesick leaving their personal lives behind for more than a few days, an adventurous couple from Rutland embarked on a wilderness voyage of a lifetime, road tripping for three months from Rutland to Alaska.
Avid bird watchers Marv and Susan Elliott took to the road on May 30, 2012, and began their drive to Alaska, pulling their travel trailer and capturing the trip through photographs along the way.
Both being members of the Rutland County Audubon Society and retired, they like to spend as much time as possible enjoying all the wilderness has to offer, which is why they chose the Alaskan adventure.
"This was the ultimate wilderness experience," said Marv of the trip.
In total the couple traveled 13,815 miles, through 10 different states and six provinces, making about 47 stops round trip.
Throughout their journey they spotted more than 230 different species of birds, as well as other animal species such as bears, moose, bald eagles and a variety of plant life.
"We approached each day as if it were a whole new trip," said Marv. "It made it more of an adventure."
Stops along the way consisted of lakes, wildlife refuges and national parks.
Denali National Park in Denali, Alaska, Wabamun Lake in Alberta, Canada, and Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge in northeast Alaska were just a few favorite places the couple visited along the way.
Muncho Lake in British Columbia was also a "one-of-a-kind" spot which left both amazed.
"It was so beautiful we stopped on both ways," said Marv, reminiscing about the voyage.
Though there were some slight mechanical issues with their trailer at the beginning of the trip, nothing could slow down the adventure-seeking duo for too long.
They did say the three months spent away from home were long, but the two used the time to unwind and focus on their bird watching hobby.
"You kind of forget about everything else," said Susan, adding that after awhile you become accustomed to the uncomplicated lifestyle.
After arriving in Alaska the two experienced travelers spent time exploring the Alaskan way of life and taking in the remarkable change of scenery.
They witnessed the Alaskan pipeline firsthand and observed local anglers as they fished for famous Alaskan salmon.
"I loved it all," said Susan, who had trouble choosing her favorite part of the journey. "It was all quite an adventure."
Upon their return to Rutland the couple gave a presentation about their trip at the local library, hoping to inspire other nature lovers to also go out and experience the natural beauties that our country has to offer.
The two have already made plans for their next trip, which will involve bird watching in the state of Texas, and they hope to continue traveling for many years to come.
"No matter where we go," said Susan, "We are always birding."MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

CALLAWAY — Following recommendations from Bay County Animal Control, Callaway's Code Enforcement Board voted unanimously to classify a pit bull as dangerous at a public hearing Thursday.
Christina Gomez — the dog's owner — opposed the decision, saying testimony was "overexaggerated" and the hearing was unfair.
"I don't think she is any different than a tea cup Chihuahua," Gomez said.
The 3-year-old grey and white pit bull — Lita — is currently impounded at the county's animal shelter and classified as a dangerous dog.
Officials from Animal Control testified Lita had menaced at a woman with a baby located on public property in April and bitten a man on his lower calf in March. The investigation also revealed the dog leaving its property on North Kimbrel Avenue and chasing people nearby.
"She's a dog," Gomez pleaded with the board, insisting the dog was "protective" and had recently become pregnant, therefore more aggressive.
However, "if she wanted to bite them, she would have bit them," she added.
The dog owner's view was that the dog had shown signs of aggression, but should not be classified as dangerous. Gomez complained to the board that, though Lita has been cited on several occasions, she was unaware of her rights as a dog owner and no one made her aware of them.
"I think I should have been informed about what I could have done," Gomez said.
Board members asked her questions about why no one else was present to testify on the dog's behalf and why had the dog not been spayed.
"I don't know," she responded.
In order for the Gomez family to keep Lita, they will have to obtain a special permit. But in order to do so, they'll have to provide proof of $100,000 worth of coverage for bodily injury or death of any person or damage, which may be in the form of insurance or a surety bond with the county Clerk of Courts office.
Other provisions include providing a secure enclosure for the dog with a warning sign at all entry points and making sure no one lives within 100 feet of where Lita is kept.
By state law, Lita could be given away, but under the classification of dangerous dog with the same set of restrictions.
If Lita's owners do not obtain the dangerous dog permit, Lita will be euthanized.
"She had ample opportunity from December 2011 until today (to find a solution)," said board member Janene Melvin. "… I am a dog owner; I love dogs. My heart goes out to her, but under the circumstances — the dog will eventually turn against her children."

Date set for hospital building work to start
Last updated at 11:57, Thursday, 19 April 2012
BUILDING work will finally start at West Cumberland Hospital on July 2.
This date is subject to the plans getting formal approval from the Department of Health and Treasury, meaning public funding can be released.
The £90m project will see the Whitehaven hospital rebuilt and refurbished on its current site. Planning permission has already been secured and the majority of demolition work has been carried out.
However building work cannot start until funding is approved, which will not happen until the scheme has the backing of local, regional and national health bosses.
The 220-bed hospital has now been given the green light by NHS Cumbria and NHS North of England.
The North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust is now waiting on the Government to ratify the plans and release the funding.
Finance director Alistair Mulvey told Tuesday's board meeting that he had met with the Department of Health on March 22 for informal discussions about the scheme.
Although the finer details were not discussed, he is now confident the money will come through in time to start building work on site on July 2. He added that the funding would be released in phases as the works progress.
The board meeting also heard that efforts to appoint a new project director for the West Cumberland Hospital development is under way. This follows the resignation of David Hounslea, who left earlier this year.
Bosses expect to start advertising for his replacement by the end of the month.

Have your say
Rumour has it htat it will be September at the earliest. No one in the project office here at WCH is denying it either.
I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm sick of the blue background on the 'select user' screen, i.e. the one where you pick which user to log in as. I want to change the theme to one of the other options individual users have to pick from. I can understand why microsoft haven't bothered to create a gui control for changing it, but surely there must be a way via the registry or something.
I'm failing to find any useful information in google. Has anyone else figured out how to do this?

A beard is the hair that grows on a person's chin, cheeks, neck, and the area above the upper lip (the opposite is a clean-shaven face). Typically, only post-pubescent males are able to grow beards. When differentiating between upper and lower facial hair, a beard specifically refers to the facial hair on the lower part of a man's chin (excluding the moustache, which refers to hair above the upper lip and around it). The study of beards is called pogonology.
In the course of history, men with facial hair have been ascribed various attributes such as wisdom and knowledge, sexual virility, or high social status; and, conversely, filthiness, crudeness, or an eccentric disposition, such as in the case of a tramp, hobo or vagrant. In many cultures beards are associated with nature and outdoorsmen.
Mesopotamian civilizations (Assyrian, Babylonian, Chaldean, Median and ancient Persian) devoted great care to oiling and dressing their beards, using tongs and curling irons to create elaborate ringlets and tiered patterns.
In ancient India, the beard was allowed to grow long, a symbol of dignity and of wisdom (cf. sadhu). The nations in the east generally treated their beards with great care and veneration, and the punishment for licentiousness and adultery was to have the beard of the offending parties publicly cut off. They had such a sacred regard for the preservation of their beards that a man might pledge it for the payment of a debt.
The Persians were fond of long beards. In Olearius' Travels, a King of Persia commands his steward's head to be cut off, and on its being brought to him, remarks, "what a pity it was, that a man possessing such fine mustachios, should have been executed," but he adds, "Ah! it was your own fault."
The ancient Greeks regarded the beard as a badge or sign of virility which it was a disgrace to be without; and in the Homeric time it had even a sanctity as among the Jews, so that a common form of entreaty was to touch the beard of the person addressed. It was only shaven as a sign of mourning, though in this case it was instead often left untrimmed. A smooth face was regarded as a sign of effeminacy. The Spartans punished cowards by shaving off a portion of their beards. From the earliest times, however, the shaving of the upper lip was not uncommon. Greek beards were also frequently curled with tongs.
In the time of Alexander the Great the custom of smooth shaving was introduced. Reportedly, Alexander ordered his soldiers to be clean shaven, fearing that their beards would serve as handles for their enemies to grab and to hold the soldier as he was killed. The practice of shaving spread from the Macedonians, whose kings are represented on coins, etc. with smooth faces, throughout the whole Greek world. Laws were passed against it, without effect, at Rhodes and Byzantium; and even Aristotle, we are told, conformed to the new custom, unlike the other philosophers, who retained the beard as a badge of their profession. A man with a beard after the Macedonian period implied a philosopher, and we have many allusions to this custom of the later philosophers in such proverbs as: "The beard does not make the sage.
Still, beards remained rare among the Romans throughout the Late Republic and the early Principate. In a general way, in Rome at this time, a long beard was considered a mark of slovenliness and squalor. The censors L. Veturius and P. Licinius compelled M. Livius, who had been banished, on his restoration to the city to be shaved, and to lay aside his dirty appearance, and then, but not till then, to come into the Senate. The first time of shaving was regarded as the beginning of manhood, and the day on which this took place was celebrated as a festival. Usually, this was done when the young Roman assumed the toga virilis. Augustus did it in his twenty-fourth year, Caligula in his twentieth. The hair cut off on such occasions was consecrated to some god. Thus Nero put his into a golden box set with pearls, and dedicated it to Jupiter Capitolinus. The Romans, unlike the Greeks, let their beards grow in time of mourning; so did Augustus for the death of Julius Caesar. Other occasions of mourning on which the beard was allowed to grow were, appearance as a reus, condemnation, or some public calamity.
In the second century A.D. the Emperor Hadrian, according to Dion, was the first of all the Caesars to grow a beard; Plutarch says that he did it to hide scars on his face. This was a period in Rome of widespread imitation of Greek culture, and many other men grew beards in imitation of Hadrian and the Greek fashion. Until the time of Constantine the Great the emperors appear in busts and coins with beards; but Constantine and his successors to the end of the sixth century, with the exception of Julian, are represented as beardless.
In the 15th century, most European men were clean-shaven. Clergymen in 16th century England were usually clean shaven to indicate their celibacy. When a priest became convinced of the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation he would often signal this by allowing his beard to grow, showing that he rejected the tradition of the church and perhaps also its stance on clerical celibacy. The longer the beard, the more striking the statement. Sixteenth century beards were therefore suffered to grow to an amazing length (see the portraits of John Knox, Bishop Gardiner and Thomas Cranmer). Some beards of this time were the Spanish spade beard, the English square cut beard, the forked beard, and the stiletto beard.
Strangely, this trend was especially marked during Queen Mary's reign, a time of reaction against Protestant reform (Cardinal Pole's beard is a good example). Queen Elizabeth I, succeeding Mary, is said to have disliked beards and therefore established a tax on them.
In urban circles of Western Europe and the Americas, beards were out of fashion after the early 17th century; to such an extent that, in 1698, Peter the Great of Russia ordered men to shave off their beards, and in 1705 levied a tax on beards in order to bring Russian society more in line with contemporary Western Europe.
Throughout the 18th century beards were unknown among most parts of Western society, especially the nobility and upper classes.
Beards returned strongly to fashion during the Napoleonic Era. Veterans of the French Emperor's Army were known as "Vieux Moustaches" (Old Moustaches), while greener conscripts were forbidden to grow them, thus making them especially coveted and prestigious. Throughout the nineteenth century facial hair (beards, along with long sideburns and moustaches) was more common than not. Many male European monarchs were bearded (e.g. Alexander III of Russia, Napoleon III of France, Frederick III of Germany), as were many of the leading statesmen and cultural figures (e.g. Benjamin Disraeli, Charles Dickens, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Karl Marx, Friederich Nietzsche and Giuseppe Verdi). The stereotypical Victorian male figure in the popular mind remains a stern figure clothed in black whose gravitas is added to by a heavy beard (or long sideburns). However, in the early twentienth century beards started a slow decline in popularity, while some prominent figures retained them (like Sigmund Freud, albeit severely shortened from the fashion of prior decades) most men which in the 20s and 30s still retained facial hair limited it to the moustache or a goatee (Marcel Proust, Albert Einstein, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotski, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin) Beards, together with long hair, were reintroduced to mainstream society in Western Europe and the Americas by the hippie movement of the mid 1960s. By the end of the 20th century, the closely clipped Verdi beard, often with a matching integrated moustache, had become relatively common.
Following World War I, beards fell out of vogue. There are several theories as to why the military began shaving beards. When World War I broke out in the 1910s, the use of chemical weapons necessitated that soldiers shave their beards so that gas masks could seal over their faces. The enlistment of military recruits for World War I in 1914 precipitated a major migration of men from rural to urban locales. This was the largest such migration that had ever occurred in the United States up to that time. The rural lives of some of these bearded men included the "Saturday Night bath" as a reality rather than a humorism. The sudden concentration of recruits in crowded army induction centers brought with it disease, including head lice. Remedial action was taken by immediately shaving the faces and cutting the hair of all inductees upon their arrival.
When the war concluded in 1918 the "Doughboys" returned to a hero's welcome. During this time period the Film Industry was coming into its own and "going to the movies" became a popular pastime. Due to the recent Armistice many of the films had themes related to World War I. These popular films featured actors who portrayed soldiers with their clean shaven faces and "crew cuts". Concurrently, "Madison Avenue's" psychological mass marketing was becoming prevalent. The Gillette Safety Razor Company was one of these marketers' early clients. These events conspired to popularize short hair and clean shaven faces as the only acceptable style for decades to come.
From the 1920s to the early 1960s, beards were virtually nonexistent in mainstream America. The few men who wore the beard or portions of the beard during this period were either old, Central Europeans, members of a religious sect that required it, in academia, or part of the counterculture, such as the "beatniks".
Following the Vietnam War, beards exploded in popularity. In the mid-late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, beards were worn by hippies and businessmen alike. Popular rock, soul and folk musicians like The Beatles, Barry White and the male members of Peter, Paul, and Mary wore full beards. The trend of seemingly ubiquitous beards in American culture subsided in the mid 1980s.
From the 1990s onward, the fashion in beards has generally trended toward either a goatee, Van Dyck, or a closely cropped full beard undercut on the throat.
One stratum of American society where facial hair is virtually nonexistent is in government and politics. The last President of the United States to wear any type of facial hair was William Howard Taft, who was in office nearly a century ago.
In Greek mythology and art Zeus and Poseidon are always portrayed with beards, but Apollo never is. A bearded Hermes was replaced with the more familiar beardless youth in the 5th century B.C.
Vaishnava men, especially Gaudiya Vaishnava men, are encouraged to be clean-shaven as a sign of cleanliness. Sannyasis, or renunciates, are generally clean-shaven and keep a shaven head (except a small tail called a shikha).
The Bible states in Leviticus 19:27 that "Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard." Talmudic rabbis understood this to mean that a man may not shave his beard with a razor with a single blade, since the cutting action of the blade against the skin "mars" the beard. Because scissors have two blades, halakha (Jewish law) permits their use to trim the beard, as the cutting action comes from contact of the two blades and not the blade against the skin. For this reason, most poskim (Jewish legal decisors) rule that Orthodox Jews may use electric razors to remain cleanshaven, as such shavers cut by trapping the hair between the blades and the metal grating, halakhically a scissor-like action. Some prominent contemporary poskim maintain that electric shavers constitute a razor-like action and consequently prohibit their use.
Many Orthodox Jews grow beards for social and cultural reasons. Since the electric razor is a relatively modern innovation, virtually all Orthodox Jews grew beards before its advent. Beards are thus symbolic of keeping the traditions of one's ancestors. The Zohar, one of the primary sources of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), attributes holiness to the beard, specifying that hairs of the beard symbolize channels of subconscious holy energy that flows from above to the human soul. Therefore, most Hasidic Jews, for whom Kabbalah plays an important role in their religious practice, traditionally do not remove or even trim their beards.
Also, some Jews refrain from shaving during the 30-day mourning period after the death of a close relative, known in Hebrew as the "Sheloshim" (thirty).
In Eastern Christianity, beards are often worn by members of the priesthood, and at times have been required for all believers - see Old Believers. Amish and Hutterite men shave until they are married, then grow a beard and are never thereafter without one, although it is a particular form of a beard (see Visual markers of marital status). Many Syrian Christians from Kerala in India use to wear long beards.
Nowadays, members of many Catholic religious communities, mainly those of Franciscan origin, use a beard as a sign of their vocation. At various times in its history the Catholic Church permitted and prohibited facial hair. Some Messianic Jews also wear beards to show their observance of the Old Testament.
In contemporary Muslim practice a longer beard is associated with Sunnis, a more closely trimmed beard with Shia Muslims. Accordingly, in Iraq where ethnic cleansing has taken place to make districts all-Sunni or all-Shi'a, members of the local minority adjust their beard style to avoid recognition.
According to the majority opinions in the four major Sunni schools of jurisprudence, a beard is mandatory for all men, unless they have a medical reason not to grow one. Minority opinions exist in all four schools that the beard is optional, but commendable.
Muhammad also was quoted as saying that growing the beard is part of the Abrahamic tradition that Muslims have inherited. Muslims believe that Allah commanded Abraham to keep his beard, shorten his mustache, clip his nails, shave the hair around his genitals, and pluck his armpit hair.
The 20th century American jazz drummer and bandleader Buddy Rich famously fired members of his band for wearing beards. Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons of the famous rock band ZZ Top are also renowned for having very distinctive facial hair. Ironically, ZZ Top's drummer Frank Beard (called "Rube Beard" on earlier albums) is the one member of the group who, despite his surname, and sporting a mustache since the early days of the band, does not wear a beard. Alternative Folk musician Sam Beam, better known as Iron & Wine, is known for always sporting a full beard.
The Beatles, notably John Lennon (see Abbey Road cover), George Harrison, Paul McCartney (during the sessions for Let It Be), and Ringo Starr who also had a beard during Abbey Road and through till the present, sported full beards in the last days of the band. Jim Morrison also sported a beard in the last few years of his life, but a few times shaved it off, as in his last days.
Several Heavy metal musicians like Lemmy Kilmister, Kerry King, James Hetfield, Zakk Wylde, Scott Ian, Dimebag Darrell Abbott, Mark Morton, Mick Thomson, Chris Adler sport beards.
Leland Sklar, a prolific session bass guitar player, is noted for his long hair and a long flowing beard. In the past few years ex-Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has famously sported a beard.
Clutch lead singer Neil Fallon sports a beard most of the time.
Alexisonfire/City And Colour guitarist Dallas Green has had a beard in recent years, although, in the bands early years he was clean shaven.
Full-time missionaries are clean-shaven as a matter of policy. Bishops and stake presidents are strongly encouraged not to grow facial hair. Students at Brigham Young University adhere to an Honor Code containing Dress and Grooming Standards. This includes the following language: "If worn, moustaches should be neatly trimmed and may not extend beyond or below the corners of the mouth. Men are expected to be clean shaven; beards are not acceptable." Exceptions are made for BYU students who must keep their beard for medical reasons. While such exceptions once applied to religious reasons as well, such is not the current administrative stance of BYU.
The Cincinnati Reds, Major League Baseball's oldest existing team, had a longstanding enforced policy where all players had to be completely clean shaven (no beards, long sideburns or moustaches). However, this policy was abolished following the sale of the team by Marge Schott.
In Irish soccer a ban on beards has been in place since 2005, when Beechlawn Rovers defender David Murray pulled Chanel striker Ricky Bobby down by his beard when he was clear through on goal. It was feared by the Irish Premier League that this practice would continue; therefore a ban was placed on growing facial hair longer than two inches.
Under owner George Steinbrenner, the New York Yankees baseball team has had a strict dress code that forbids long hair and facial hair below the lip. More recently, Willie Randolph and Joe Girardi, both former Yankee assistant coaches, adopted a similar clean-shaven policy for their ballclubs; the New York Mets and Florida Marlins, respectively. Fredi Gonzalez, who replaced Girardi as the Marlins' manager, dropped that policy when he took over after the 2006 season.
Playoff beard is a tradition common on some teams in the NHL and now in other leagues wherein players allow their beards to grow from the beginning of the playoff season until the playoffs are over for their team.
These exceptions notwithstanding, in no case is a beard permitted without a moustache, and only full beards may be worn (not goatees, van dykes, etc.).
Personnel with beards may still be required to modify or shave off the beard, as environmental or tactical circumstances dictate (e.g., to facilitate the wearing of a gas mask).
Beards are also allowed to be worn by personnel conducting OPFOR duties.
However, within the Foreign Legion, sappers (combat engineers) are traditionally encouraged to grow a large beard.
The gendarmes, also by tradition, may grow a moustache.
According to German military tradition, soldiers should not have beards, only moustaches. Therefore this form of facial hair is still the only one allowed to members of the so-called Wachbataillon (Guard Battalion), which is deployed for solely protocol-related duties. Likewise, superior officers are rarely seen with large beards.
If a soldier has obtained permission to grow a beard, the beard must either be:
In the Royal Netherlands Army, officers and soldiers may only grow beards after permission has been obtained. As in many other armies, medical conditions can mean automatic permission to grow one and not shave. Moustaches may be grown without asking permission. Beards are worn at times by the Royal Netherlands Marines and by Royal Netherlands Navy personnel. All facial hair in the Netherlands armed forces is subject to instant removal when operational circumstances demand it. Recent operations in Afghanistan under the ISAF have seen a trend of growing "tour beards", both for bonding and as a way of advancing contacts with the Afghan population, who regard a full beard as a sign of manhood. A beard without a moustache is uncommon in The Netherlands.
Also, those with pseudofolliculitis barbae or severe acne are allowed to maintain neatly trimmed beards with a doctor's or medic's permission.

Chapter 9: Alcohol and Controlled Substances
Alcoholic Beverage and Illicit Drug Policies for All Students and Organizations / Policies for Postbaccalaureate Students and Organizations / Alcoholic Beverage Policies for Undergraduate Students of Legal Drinking Age / Emergency Treatment / Sanctions / Resources / Health Risks / Warning Signs of Possible Substance Abuse / Drug Effects Table (PDF Document) / Federal Trafficking Penalty Charts (PDF Document)

Vanderbilt University is deeply concerned about the health and welfare of its students. University policies and regulations in general-and alcohol and illicit drug policies in particular-reflect that concern. The purpose of the policy, and the purpose of articulating it in great detail, is to enable students to make informed-and it is hoped, intelligent-choices, and to enable them to understand the consequences of making poor choices. In compliance with the federal Drug-Free Schools and Campuses regulations, Vanderbilt has adopted a policy that includes the expectation that students will comply with federal, state, and local laws, including those relating to alcoholic beverages, narcotics, and other drugs.
The University prohibits the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of alcohol and illicit drugs by students, faculty, and staff, on its property, or as part of any University-sponsored activity. The prohibition extends to off-campus activities that are officially sponsored by Vanderbilt, its schools, departments, or organizations. In addition, the prohibition extends to off-campus professional or organizational activities, including attendance at conferences, when participation is sponsored by the University, or when the participant student, faculty member, or staff member is representing the University. Finally, the prohibition extends to "private" events off campus where the University may have an interest (e.g., if a student were to provide alcohol to underage students at an off-campus location).
The improper use of prescription drugs is a serious problem on college campuses. For this reason, it is a violation of University conduct rules for a student to be in possession of another person's prescription medication or for a student to provide another person with drugs that have been prescribed for that student.
To underscore the seriousness with which it takes the issue of health and welfare of its constituent populations, the University will impose disciplinary sanctions on students, faculty, and staff -- up to and including expulsion or termination of employment, and possible referral for prosecution --for violation of the alcohol and illicit drug policy. Conditions of continued employment or enrollment may include the completion of an appropriate rehabilitation program.
In addition to the standards of conduct prohibited by law and University policy, students, faculty, and staff are subject to the additional requirements, disciplinary standards, and procedures promulgated by their respective schools, departments, and organizations. Additional standards of conduct, disciplinary standards, and procedures may be found elsewhere in The Student Handbook, in the Faculty Manual, and in the Medical Center Alcohol and Drug Use Policy (Policy No. 30-08), and any applicable union contract. Students, faculty, and staff should refer to appropriate documents for detail.
Alcoholic Beverage and Illicit Drugs Policies for All Students and Organizations
The following regulations apply to the use of alcoholic beverages or illicit drugs by individuals, by groups, by University departments, or by an organization's members and invited guests:
* At no time may alcoholic beverages be provided (served, distributed, furnished) to persons under legal drinking age (twenty-one years old) for the state of Tennessee.
* Because of the danger that drunk drivers pose to themselves and to others, the operation of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is prohibited.
* Again, due to the danger that intoxicated persons pose to themselves and to others, as well as to the disruption that intoxication can bring to the living/learning community, intoxication is prohibited.
* Alcohol may not be used as an award or trophy for any event or program of the University or by any University organization, group, or individual.
* Notices, posters, flyers, banners, etc., may not use logos or trademarks of alcoholic beverages, or mention or refer to alcoholic beverages or their availability at an event.
* "B.Y.O.B.," as shorthand for "Bring Your Own Bottle," may be used on postings, etc., for events that have been registered B.Y.O.B. during the event registration process. (Any B.Y.O.B. event sponsored by a student organization must be registered and approved with the Office of Schedules and Reservations in 208 Sarratt with the exception of events at Fraternity or Sorority Houses, which are registered with the Office of Greek Life.)
* Groups or individuals who effect excessive and/or harmful consumption of alcohol through games, peer pressure, subterfuge, or other activities are subject to disciplinary action.
* Possession, use or distribution of illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia is prohibited; this prohibition includes possession of prescription medication belonging to another person and distribution of a medication prescribed to a person to any other person. The term distribution includes "sharing" of any drug and does not require any exchange of money.
* The use of common containers of alcoholic beverages such as kegs, punch bowls, or party balls by undergraduates, the use of pure grain alcohol by individuals or organizations, the use of devices such as funnels and beer bongs designed for the rapid consumption of alcohol, and drinking games are prohibited on campus or at any event sponsored by a student organization off campus.
Policies for Postbaccalaureate Students and Organizations
Graduate and professional students and organizations must register their events with the Office of Schedules and Reservations, and secure authorization through the Events Registration Committee for events at which alcoholic beverages are present. If an undergraduate group cosponsors an event with a postbaccalaureate group, the policies governing undergraduate events must be followed. In addition, postbaccalaureate groups and their officers are subject to disciplinary action if there are violations of the underage drinking law or University policies and regulations at their events. Officers of an organization or a residence hall or individuals hosting an event are responsible for ensuring compliance with University policies and state and local law. Both organizations and individuals are subject to disciplinary action by the University, by the state of Tennessee, and by the Metropolitan Government of Nashville.
Alcoholic Beverage Policies for Undergraduate Students of Legal Drinking Age
The only places on campus where students of legal drinking age may routinely possess and consume alcoholic beverages are as follows:
1. The rooms and apartments of students in upperclass residence halls (with the exception of substance-free floors and buildings, and freshman rooms in upperclass buildings)
2. Fraternity houses
3. The Overcup Oak.
Students may not consume alcoholic beverages elsewhere, except in common areas designated by student vote in upperclass residence halls in accordance with residential autonomy procedures, or when an event has been appropriately registered as an event at which alcoholic beverages will be consumed (see also "Scheduling Activities" in Chapter 3).
Being in residence hall lobbies or about the campus with open containers of beer or other alcoholic beverages, regardless of the type of container, is prohibited.
For special events, a place may be designated as one where the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages by those of legal drinking age is permitted. However, such occasions must be registered, approved, and advertised five days in advance as an event at which alcohol may be consumed (e.g., the event must be authorized for B.Y.O.B., or authorization be granted by the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee to serve undergraduates, and no common containers may be used).
The use of common containers of alcoholic beverages such as kegs, punch bowls, or party balls by undergraduates, the use of pure grain alcohol by individuals or organizations, the use of devices such as funnels and beer bongs designed for the rapid consumption of alcohol, and drinking games are prohibited on campus or at any event sponsored by a student organization off campus.
Undergraduate students who have reached the age designated by the state (twenty-one years of age) for the legal consumption of alcoholic beverages may possess and consume alcoholic beverages at events registered and approved for consumption on a "bring-your-own" basis. (See "Scheduling Activities" in Chapter 3, for registration requirements.).
B.Y.O.B. practices contemplate that an individual student of drinking age may share alcoholic beverages with a date or a companion who is also of legal drinking age. However, any subterfuge or device to evade the spirit of the University policy prohibiting the use of common containers or the provision of alcoholic beverages at undergraduate functions will subject students and organizations to disciplinary action.
Any time alcoholic beverages are served or permitted, alternative beverages and food must also be served during the entire period that alcoholic beverages are available. Students organizing a B.Y.O.B. event are responsible for providing nonalcoholic beverages and food.
The sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited, unless licensed by state or local authorities and authorized by the University. Prohibition includes the sale of tickets, which can be traded for alcoholic beverages, or the sale of t-shirts required for entry into an event where alcohol is distributed, or any scheme masking the distribution of alcohol.
Individuals who wish to invite guests to a party or gathering in their rooms, apartments, suites, or lodges must have authorization from the assistant director (AD) for the residential complex. For the event to be B.Y.O.B., a majority of the hosts must be of legal age to drink alcoholic beverages.
Undergraduate groups, individuals, students, faculty, and staff may not serve alcoholic beverages to undergraduate students, except by special authorization from the Vice Chancellor for Student Life or his designee. Authorizations are limited to faculty-student mixers or dinners and very special occasions where a reasonable percentage of those attending are of legal drinking age. To seek authorization to serve alcohol for an event, the officers of the student organization should obtain a Special Event Registration Form from the Office of Schedules and Reservations and secure the approval by signature of their faculty adviser. The Special Event Registration Form must then be submitted to the Events Registration Committee. If authorization to serve alcohol is granted, the completed form should then be filed with the Office of Schedules and Reservations no fewer than five days in advance of the event. (See also, "Registration of Meetings, Concerts, Lectures, and Special Events" in Chapter 3.)
Officers of an organization or a residence hall or individuals hosting an event are responsible for ensuring compliance with University policies and state and local law. Both organizations and individuals are subject to disciplinary sanction by the University and prosecution by the state of Tennessee and the Metropolitan Government of Nashville.
Emergency Treatment
It is in the best interest of students' welfare that persons who overdose or become intoxicated be brought to the attention of medical personnel.
For that reason, and other University policies notwithstanding, it is University policy that no student seeking medical attention for intoxication or overdose shall be formally disciplined for the simple illegal use or underage possession of alcohol or other drugs, provided that the sole reason the student's intoxication or overdose was discovered by University officials arose from the seeking of medical care (by the affected student or by friends of the affected student).
Immunity from disciplinary action for alcohol violations extends to individuals seeking help for the intoxicated student, but does not relieve a group of responsibility for violation of policy; however, the fact that an organization sought help for an intoxicated student will be considered in determining any sanction for policy violations. Affected students immune from disciplinary action will be required to complete a course of evaluation counseling and, where indicated, treatment. Failure to complete the prescribed course can result in disciplinary action.
University Sanctions.
Vanderbilt University will impose disciplinary sanctions on students, ranging from a warning or reprimand, to disciplinary probation, suspension, or expulsion and referral for state or federal prosecution, for violation of its alcohol and controlled substances policy. As is the case with violations of other University policies, sanctions imposed will be appropriate to the severity and circumstances of the violation. The student's previous record, attitude, and the seriousness of the offense will be taken into account in the determination of sanction.
The minimum sanction for simple unlawful purchase, possession, or consumption of alcohol is a reprimand for the first offense. The completion of an appropriate assessment, education or rehabilitation program may be required. For simple unlawful possession or consumption in a substance-free residential area, the reprimand may be enhanced with sanctions that might include attendance or implementation of educational programs, or service projects. (See below.) In addition, disciplinary action will be taken for misconduct that results from the use of alcoholic beverages or other drugs. Students will also be held responsible for any damages that result from their misconduct. These sanctions will be imposed consistent with disciplinary standards and procedures found in The Student Conduct System.
The minimum penalty for first-offense intoxication is disciplinary probation. Standard indicators for drinking and/or intoxication include lack of balance, loss of coordination, confusion, slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, odor of intoxicant, admissions to drinking, etc.
The minimum penalty for driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is probation and loss of campus driving and parking privileges.
Because of the seriousness of unlawful provision, distribution, or sale of alcohol or other drugs by a student (or group or organization), violation of this policy will result in serious disciplinary action, which may include suspension or expulsion for the first offense, and may also result in criminal prosecution. The minimum penalty for a student who illegally distributes alcohol to an underage student will be probation for the first offense, and suspension for the second offense. Distribution of illegal drugs (including prescription medication) may result in suspension for a first offense; this includes incidents in which no money is exchanged. In addition, the possession of illicit drugs or alcohol in such quantities as to create a presumption of possession with the intent to distribute on or off the campus, is a serious violation that may result in immediate suspension or expulsion. Evidence that a student has distributed drugs is grounds for immediate suspension from the University and/or expulsion from University housing pending a hearing on the charges.
Student organizations which provide alcohol to those not of legal age, whether through direct purchase or other group activities, may be placed on probation for one calendar year for the first offense, with no parties with alcohol permitted for a period of six months.
Persons who unlawfully furnish alcoholic beverages to students who are not of legal drinking age may also be liable for personal injuries or property damages resulting from misconduct committed by underage, intoxicated students. Student organizations and the officers of such organizations may also have such liabilities.
Sanction Enhancements
The purpose of any sanction for a violation of University policy is to get a student's attention, to effect reflection on the part of the student, and, it is hoped, to effect compliance with the policy. Because violations of alcohol and drug policies can be a threat to a student's health, welfare, and even life, enhancements may be added to any official sanction as additional means of helping students understand the potential consequences of policy violations.
Such enhancements may include the following:
1. Evaluation by an alcohol and drug counselor at Student Health, and treatment or enrollment in a counseling program when indicated by the results of the evaluation.
2. Attendance at alcohol or drug education seminars.
3. Implementation of an alcohol or drug educational program for peers.
4. Service work details linked to behavior associated with use of alcohol. (Such details might include picking up litter from campus lawns, cleaning lobbies, restrooms, and stairwells, of residence halls, etc.)
5. Completion of educational programs or on-line courses.
State of Tennessee Sanctions.
[This document contains a summary of state and federal sanctions for the unlawful use of illicit drugs and alcohol. Portions of the summary were provided by the federal government, and while the summary is a good faith effort to provide information, Vanderbilt does not guarantee its accuracy.] Under state law, it is unlawful for any person under the age of twenty-one (21) to buy, possess, transport (unless in the course of their employment), or consume alcoholic beverages, including wine or beer. It is also unlawful for any adult to buy alcoholic beverages for or furnish them for any purpose to anyone under twenty-one years of age. These offenses are classified Class A Misdemeanors punishable by imprisonment for not more than eleven months and twenty-nine days, or a fine of not more than $2,500, or both. (T.C.A. ß 1-3-113, 39-15-404, 57-5-301.) The offense of public intoxication is a Class C Misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment of not more than thirty days or a fine of not more than $50, or both. (T.C.A. ß 39-17-310.) Under Tennessee law, the offense of possession or casual exchange of a controlled substance (such as marijuana) is punishable as a Class A Misdemeanor (eleven months twenty-nine days and/or a fine of $2,500). For the third and subsequent offense of possession of 1/2 oz. or less of marijuana, punishment is one to six years of imprisonment and a $3,000 fine. If there is an exchange from a person over twenty-one years of age to a person under twenty-one, and the older person is at least two years older than the younger, and the older person knows that the younger is under twenty-one years of age, then the offense is classified as a felony. (T.C.A. ß 39-17-417, 21 U.S.C. ß 801, et seq.; T.C.A. ß 39-17-417.) Possession of more than 1/2 oz. of marijuana under circumstances where intent to resell may be implicit is punishable by one to six years of imprisonment and a $5,000 fine for the first offense.
State penalties for possession of substantial quantities of a controlled substance or for manufacturing or distribution range up to a maximum of fifteen to sixty years of imprisonment and a $500,000 fine. (Title 39, T.C.A., Chapter 17.) For example, possession of more than twenty-six grams of cocaine is punishable by eight to thirty years of imprisonment and a $200,000 fine for the first offense.
The state may, under certain circumstances, impound a vehicle used to transport or conceal controlled substances.
United States Penalties and Sanctions for Illegal Possession of a Controlled Substance

18 U.S.C. 922(g)
Ineligibility to receive or purchase a firearm.
Revocation of certain federal licenses and benefits, e.g., pilot licenses, public housing tenancy, are vested within the authorities of individual federal agencies. Violations of federal trafficking laws that involve either (1) distribution or possession of controlled substances at or near a school or university campus, or (2) distribution of controlled substances to persons under twenty-one (21) years of age, incur doubled penalties under federal law. (See chart: Federal Trafficking Penalties.)
As an educational institution, the University is primarily concerned with helping the individual student achieve academic goals. When health problems do arise, the University may assist and guide a student whose mental or physical health is threatened. Because of the health hazards, students who choose to use alcohol should do so in moderation. Should students or their friends have a problem with alcohol or other drugs, there are several places on campus where one can receive assistance:
1. The Resident Adviser (RA), Head Resident, or Assistant Director is available to listen to students with such problems and make a referral if necessary.
2. The Office of Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Prevention is located in 206 Sarratt Student Center.
3. The Psychological and Counseling Center and the Student Health Center both have therapists who can assist.
4. Students may wish to talk to someone at the office of Campus Ministries.
5. The Vanderbilt Institute for Treatment of Addiction (VITA) offers both in- and outpatient treatment (936-3555).
These campus and community resources are available and ready to assist. Calls will be handled in a confidential manner.

Health Risks
The following is a summary of known health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol. Part of the summary was provided by the federal government, and Vanderbilt does not guarantee that it is an error-free or exhaustive accounting.
Effects of alcohol abuse
Acute: Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Accidents are the leading cause of death among individuals aged fifteen to twenty-four years. Most are related to drinking and driving. Poor decisions and aggressive acts such as sexual assault are almost always associated with alcohol use. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person's ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described.
Chronic: Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver. Some studies suggest that brain cells are actually permanently lost (killed) by high levels of alcohol.
Women who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics.
Effects of other drugs
Marijuana: Marijuana and related compounds are usually used for their "relaxation" effects or to produce an altered sense of reality-a "high." Marijuana is usually smoked, and like tobacco, it is very toxic to the lungs. Disorders of memory (loss) and of mood often occur in chronic users.
Cocaine (stimulant). Cocaine, crack, and related forms are usually used for stimulation and to produce a sense of euphoria. All forms of cocaine are highly addictive, producing a habit that is extremely difficult to stop. In some individuals, cocaine may produce fatal cardiac rhythm disturbances.
Amphetamines (stimulants): Amphetamines, and their new derivatives "crystal," "ice," and Ecstasy, are used for stimulation. These compounds are very addictive and may produce psychotic and violent behaviors.
LSD & PCP (hallucinogens): These chemicals are used to produce "altered states" to escape reality. In changing perceptions, these drugs can result in very poor decision making which can lead to accident or death. They can cause psychosis in some individuals.
Valium, Barbiturates, etc. (depressants): These and other prescription drugs of this type are usually used for their sedative or hypnotic effects. Some of these drugs are highly addictive, and others can cause seizures (convulsions) in individuals who take them over long periods of time. These drugs can be fatal if mixed with alcohol or other depressants.
Heroin, Codeine, etc. (narcotics): These are some of the most addictive substances known. They produce a high or euphoria. Withdrawal can produce convulsions or even coma. Overdose is common and can result in death. Needle-drug users are in a high-risk group for infection with human immunodeficiency virus, thought to be the cause of AIDS.
Other. Many medications and drugs have the potential for abuse. If you have concerns or questions, ask for professional advice.
Warning Signs of Possible Substance Abuse
* Withdrawal from social situations
* Increased boredom or drowsiness
* Change in personal appearance (increasingly unkempt or sloppy)
* Change in friends
* Easily discouraged; defeatist attitude
* Low frustration tolerance (outbursts)
* Violent behavior and vandalism
* Terse replies to questions or conversation
* Sad or forlorn expression
* Lying
* Poor classroom attendance
* Dropping grades or poor work
* Apathy or loss of interest
When such signs appear in friends,
* Express your concern and caring
* Be ready to listen
* Communicate your desire to help
* Make concrete suggestions as to where the student can find help or how he or she might cope with a given problem
* Try to get the student to seek professional help
* Ask for assistance from campus resources
* Be persistent
* Take the situation lightly or as a joke
* Be offended if the student tries to "put you off"
* Take "I don't have a problem" as an answer
* Try to handle the student alone-ask for assistance
* Lecture about right and wrong
* Promote guilt feelings about grades or anything else
* Gossip: speak of it only to those who can help

The Mad Collector wrote:=Tamar wrote:Yes, but I suggest that there may have been more than one. That trip took a long time and someone had to make arrangements for the substitution, someone who looked right had to be trained and get the qualifications, and that would have taken time, regardless of who it was.
But it's the same double. Charlie was in The Truth and then brought back for Raising Steam, he already knew what to do.
Charlie is mentioned in Raising Steam, but I didn't think he was bright enough to be trained as a stoker. There was fierce competition for even the most minor railway jobs. On the other hand, I did just think of another angle. I still think it would have been difficult for Vetinari to spend enough time out of the office to be trained as a stoker and fake all the necessary time, even with Charlie doing most of the "being present at meetings" part of it. It's possible that Charlie was bright enough to be trained as a stoker and pass on what he learned as reports. However, we are told that Drumknott was enthusiastic and spent every possible moment being somehow involved with the railway. I think Drumknott would have been the obvious person to have become friends with railway men as an enthusiast and then passed information to Vetinari.
There remains the problem of how long Vetinari would have had to entrust running the city to Charlie-and-Drumknott. It would be difficult but not impossible to catch up to the train by some other means, whether by witch's broomstick, golem horse, or wizard-empowered coach, but possibly only the broomstick, or perhaps the golem horse, would have been unobtrusive enough to avoid comment. The train had to stop occasionally to take on water, so there were a few opportunities to make the switch, if there was a switch made.
If on the other hand Vetinari trusts Drumknott to run the city using Charlie as a front, then maybe Drumknott is going to be his chosen heir. Drumknott is younger than Vetinari; he got the top-aide position after the events of G!G!
But that's a different discussion.

There are few places in the world where, within the space of one day, you can experience mountain vistas, ancient forests, volcanic landscapes and stunning coastline - all whilst spotting New Zealand wildlife found nowhere else on earth.
You can spot whales throughout New Zealand, including Auckland's beautiful Hauraki Gulf and the wonderful Kaikoura.
New Zealand has many dolphin species and swimming with dolphins is considered by many visitors to this country one of the best experiences they've had.
There is no better way to negotiate the ruggedly beautiful wilderness of New Zealand than on horseback.
New Zealand has three species of penguin. You cannot help but be charmed by these amazing birds that have a character all of their own.
Explore places that have been shaped and coloured by volcanic and geothermal forces for thousands of years.
If you're a keen gardener you will enjoy your visit to New Zealand. A diverse range of plants, both native and exotic, thrive in our temperate climate.

Getting the Most From Your Hunting
State and Federal Regulations
Everyone who hunts on a national wildlife refuge must have the required state license(s). (State government links are provided under under the State Licenses tab.) Some refuges also require their own permits and/or user fees. These are noted in this guide.
Hunting on National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska
Alaska: The very word conjures up images of abundant big game, beautiful scenery, solitude and rugged outdoor adventure. For many hunters, Alaska is a dream destination and a hunt in the "Last Frontier" will likely exceed even the highest of expectations.

I can see Ryback vs Big Show happening at WM, but I don't think it'll come about via Ryback winning the Royal Rumble.
I also don't see Zack Ryder vs Dolph Ziggler happening at WM. Why in the world would WWE do that match?
You say there's no way Punk is loosing to The Rock? Get back to me when the Royal Rumble's done about that one. I like the idea of Taker vs Punk at WM, but if Punk was still champ, then that would mean that Taker would win the match and the title, which isn't going to happen because Taker will be gone again after WM. So giving him the title doesn't make sense.
