Greenman statues can add an interesting touch to just about any type of backyard decorating theme. They can inject trees and garden walls with personality while acting as a nonchalant background decoration and work well with everything from classic Greek garden statues to realistic animal garden sculptures. However, if there's one holiday when this unique type of decor stands out, it has to be Halloween. Certain types of Greenmen sculptures can take center stage in Halloween displays on account of their eerie appearance. The Whispering Wilhelm Tree Ent Sculpture might look benign during the day but shows a completely different face on an October night. As the shadows lengthen, this garden statuary piece looks much more sinister and foreboding. Hang it on a tree in your yard and it will be just about guaranteed to give a sudden scare to Halloween party guests.
The same can be said of the even more frightening Spirit of Nottingham Woods Greenman Sculpture. Its piercing eyes and craggy features lend an uneasy, life-like look to any tree. Don't be surprised if you see party guests and trick-treaters alike giving this creepy decor a wide berth on All Hallow's Eve. Bring your trees to life with Wilhelm and the Spirit of Nottingham but don't forget to top off your greenman decorating by hanging the fantastic Poison Ivy Forest Witch on the front door of your place!
Find the best in unique Halloween decorations and enjoy 20% off decor at Design Toscano from now until September 20th.

Georges St-Pierre and Rashad Evans earned the top disclosed paydays at this past weekends UFC 167 event.
MMAjunkie recently requested and today received the list of show and win purses from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
UFC 167 took place Nov. 16 at Las Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook.
St-Pierre received a guaranteed $400,000 to fight Johny Hendricks, who received a guaranteed $50,000 in his first shot at a UFC title. St-Pierre earned a contentious split-decision win over Hendricks in a bout that UFC President Dana White insisted should have been given to the challenger.
In the co-main event, former light heavyweight champion Evans earned $250,000 for his win over Chael Sonnen, who banked $100,000 for his efforts.
The total disclosed payroll for the event was $1,641,000.
The full list of UFC 167 salaries included:
Georges St-Pierre: $400,000 (no win bonus)
def. Johny Hendricks: $50,000
Rashad Evans: $250,000 (includes $125,000 win bonus)
def. Chael Sonnen: $100,000
Robbie Lawler: $166,000 (includes $83,000 win bonus)
def. Rory MacDonald: $50,000
Tyron Woodley: $104,000 (includes $52,000 win bonus)

def. Will Campuzano: $10,000
Gian Villante: $38,000 (includes $19,000 win bonus)
def. Cody Donovan: $8,000
Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighters income. They also do not include any other locker room or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. Additionally, they dont include any pay-per-view revenue some top fighters receive.
For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $50,000 UFC 167 bonuses to Woodley (KO of the Night), Cerrone (Submission of the Night), St-Pierre (Fight of the Night) and Hendricks (Fight of the Night).
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.

Even though bolting on a blower is one of the most cost-effective ways to achieve power gains on your Corvette, nobody ever said superchargers come cheap. Not only that, but other hidden costs can crop up during installation and tuning. And there's one more big expense that might need to be factored in: replacing the factory hood with a taller, aftermarket piece that clears the blower case. (And that doesn't include prep and paint, which can really add up if you need to match your Vette's custom hues.)
All of which leads us to Edelbrock's new E-Force Supercharger for '08 to '10, LS3-powered Corvettes. How so?
"One of our primary requirements was to have it fit under the hood-but with no sacrifice in performance," notes Robert Simons, the company's vice president of research and development. After all, why force a customer to spend at least a couple grand above and beyond the price of the puffer, just to get it to fit?
Of course, there's a lot more to the unit than the packaging. Edelbrock prides itself on attention to details and innovations in design that not only improve performance, but also simplify installation. After driving Vic Edelbrock Jr.'s supercharged C6, we spent a significant amount of time going through the layout of the E-Force system with Simons. We came away with a renewed respect for how much effort the company expends to ensure that its parts both fit and perform as claimed. In this case, the resulting engine output comes pretty close to a ZR1, but at a fraction of the price.
Cutting to the juicy part, the power levels that can be reached are impressive, hitting as high as 599 hp and 547 lb-ft of torque at the flywheel in the 7.5-psi Street kit (PN 1591), which comes with a high-flow fuel pump and a 3.50-inch blower pulley. That's a gain of 164 horses, or a 37.7 percent increase in output!
If you prefer not to swap out the factory fuel pump that's embedded in the tank, you can still achieve 554 horses and 515 lb-ft of torque with the 5.5-psi Street kit (PN 1590). You can always upgrade to the higher-output version later on if desired, but note that the E-Force is not currently compatible with Z06 or ZR1 models. It will fit on a '10 Grand Sport, though.
Since the LS3 has a higher compression ratio than the LS9 (10.7:1 versus 9.1:1) and no forged internals, the boost can't go as high as the 10-psi level seen on the ZR1. However, a Competition version of the E-Force is available as well, using a pulley as small as 2.75 inches in diameter. Power output will depend on the engine combo in question, with boost levels ranging from 7.5 to 18 pounds. This system is based on the 1590 Street supercharger but pared down to the bare essentials, leaving off extras typically customized by racers for a competitive advantage.
These power levels result from a combination of Eaton's new rotor design (also used on the ZR1) and Edelbrock's unique application and enhancement of the technology. As noted in a previous article, Eaton's axial-flow TVS (Twin Vortices Series) supercharger has dual four-lobe rotors with a 160-degree twist. The much higher helix angle, along with refinements to the port geometry, is designed to minimize pressure variations for a smoother discharge of air and higher efficiency over traditional Roots units.
Edelbrock optimizes the design even further in a variety of ways, from the blower-case configuration to the hose fittings on the intercooler. In contrast to other positive-displacement systems, the case was not only rotated so the inlet and drive pulley are at the front of engine, but also inverted so airflow goes upward. After exiting the case, the air goes through air/water intercoolers on the sides of the unit (rather than on top, like the ZR1). It then feeds into 12-inch runners underneath the case, which dump into the heads.

6/18/2015 - The wallet is just exactly what I wanted it to be...now since I retired my business and that I no longer need room for my business card that I had in the tri-fold wallet. Nice. Thanks, Leo Simmons
This is the 3rd product I have purchased from Leatherology (Padfolio and Check Book cover) and as with the other 2 the leaher and workmanship are excellant. Their appearance shows a timeless elegance.
Delivery was as they said, on time.
I will definitely continue to shop here for all of my leather products.
I ordered this wallet after searching both brick/motar and online sources; from coach to hand made. I am quite pleased with the product so far. I have worn it about 1 week and it is just starting to soften-up and mold to fit. I also had the wallet embossed with my initials- something I have never done, and I can't tell you how much it enhances the ownership of a hand-made piece. I am coming to love the wallet more each day. This is fine, high quality means to spend more money. Great wallet!
This is a beautiful wallet and was exactly as I expected from the photos on the website. I purchased it as a gift for my 18 year old nephew, with his initials. I think he will be pleased with the wallet, and will hopefully use it for years. The box and interior wrap for the wallet are very nice - simple yet elegant at the same time. Very nice gift!
I absolutely love my new wallet. It's roomy, supple and a great color.
The wallet is beautiful. The leather is great, and really, how often does a wallet get noticed unless it is blue.
This was my first purchase from Leatherology and I could not be happier! What a fantastic wallet. Leather is amazing quality and perfect size. Shipping was super fast. First class business. Thanks!
Got this for my boyfriend and he loved it...monogram was nicely done and the quality is great. Gift wrapping was very nice and it arrived early! Thanks so much definitely recommend!
It is beautiful, came wrapped nicely as well. Made a really nice gift.
Excellent quality. Just as described.
My wallet is so cute, and so well made. Love it!
I always bought the thinnest wallets with a three pocket holder on both sides of wallet. The wallet I just purchased is OK but, it is larger and thicker.
Very nice, good quality. Everything I had expected!
This is a very nice wallet, six compartments for IDs and credit cards and one compartment for cash. Cool, and very stylish. I'm very happy with it, and you will be if you are looking to buy a wallet you want to keep in a back pocket of your dress pants or jeans.
I bought it for my Boyfriend for Christmas and he loved it. Great quality. It's something he will keep for a long time. A great gift!
Wallet seems to be good quality. Love the emboss initials. Guess we'll see how it holds up over time. Packaging was fancy which made it seem high end which was great bc it was a gift. Order shipped on time. I'll probably order from this company again.
I personally very pleased with what I see. It is a gift so can't speak for recipient. He only buys top quality so am sure he will be pleased as well
Excellent quality. Would recommend to anyone for the perfect gift.
My brother-in-law received his wallet way sooner than I thought he would. Thank you! He likes it very much and my sister said it was a "class act" the way it was mailed and wrapped and the note was exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Leatherology to anyone.
I would have liked the wallet a little thinner but it's fine as is. Outstandingly construction, material and packaging.
I am so pleased with this elegant product--with the superb quality and coloration of its leather, with its beautiful stitching, and with (as advertised) its slimness yet its completeness as a wallet. Its product presentation by Leatherology--in an embossed box, with the wallet enclosed in a soft-as-butter (and also embossed) cleaning cloth--is elegant, and especially welcome since I ordered this wallet as a gift.
I recommend this product, this company, and its product presentation to anyone searching Leatherology's site.
I am very satisfied with the wallet. The leather smells and looks great! The initials that I had put on take it to the next level.
I would highly recommend this item for purchase!
I bought this wallet for my boyfriend for our anniversary and he absolutely loved it!! Excellent quality and very flattering packaging!!
Very pleased with your product and speedy delivery. Only complaint I entered the code for free shipping and it still made me pay for it. I recommend your site.
The wallet was beautifully wrapped, and the personalized card was of high quality. The wallet was a soft, supple leather, in a vibrant, beautiful blue. The monogramming was so precise and crisp. We couldn't be more pleased with the purchase!
I bought this as a gift for my husbands birthday and couldn't be happier! He loved it!
Exactly what I wanted; beautifully constructed and effuses elegance through it's simplistic design.
Very pleased with the product.
Great quality leather.
My husband will love this wallet!
Stunning leather
Nice wallet. Poor communication. This was a gift, I ordered a week ahead of time. Paid extra for 2 day shipping just to be safe, and the wallet still got here late. Will not order from this company again because of that.
Bought this wallet for my husband for our 3 yr. anniversary (leather) and it is wonderful! The color is exactly as pictured and the leather is great quality.
I received the wallet I purchased as present for my husband today and could not be more please. The product is of great quality, shipping was timely, and the excellent gift wrap was a nice touch. I am nothing short of impressed and will pass this opinion on to anyone looking for a unique gift idea.
The wallet was very nice. Slim, soft, and a lovely warm chocolate brown. It was quite adequate in size, with ample slots for cards and a roomy space for bills. The construction was excellent, and the monograming was just as ordered. I was very pleased. Everything was exactly as I requested. The product was shipped on time, and received on time, as well. I would definitely order another product from this company.
The service is impeccable, the product is well made and it was such an easy process. I love the wallet. I had it monogrammed and it looks fabulous. Not only that but I was under a major time crunch and it was delivered on time. I called leatherology customer service twice to make sure my order would be here on time and they assured me it would and put me at ease. I will be ordering from them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone.
Absolutely a great wallet. The leather quality is extremely nice and so is the quality. Very pleased that I chose to purchase this wallet over the others I was considering.
I bought a brown leather wallet customized with gold stamping initials for my anniversary. This product was perfect, no problems with shipping, the packaging was beautiful, and the card had everything on it that I asked for. I would order from this company again.
This wallet is the perfect little wallet for me. Very nice leather. I ordered black.
Next time I think I will get it monogrammed.
Also, it was very nicely packaged in a sturdy box with a leather tissue wrapper.
I bought four of these for gifts hoping that the reviews were correct. The wallets look to be of very high quality, the stitching is clean and the leather is very nice. The initials done by blind debossing look fantastic. The packaging is better than described, very classy. The sandalwood color is lighter than my screen shows, but still a great color. I could not be happier with my purchase and will definitely buy from leatherology again (very fast shipping too!).
This wallet is well constructed and attractive and appears to be made of good to high quality leather.
The ad did not make it clear that the leather was grained; not my favorite but acceptable. I like the stitching and the card-storage layout. As a minor negative the card pockets are a little tight leading to difficulty in insertion and removal. I know that the leather will stretch to a good fit but it takes a little patience.
So nice to have a new leather wallet!
I got this wallet for my husband for Father's Day. It seems very nice and the debossing looks great!
The wallet is just what I had hoped it would be. The packaging was superb: The cloth that the wallet is wrapped in and the box with ribbon. Really nice!
Perfect buy
Purchased this wallet as a gift. It was perfect. It arrived much quicker than I anticipated. The embossing was exactly as I had hoped. The quality was also what I had hoped for. Altogether, I am completely satisfied and will be making another purchase for a future gift.
This wallet is the perfect size for me. The quality of the leather seems very good as well. I am expecting this wallet to last as long as my previous wallet (TUMI).
I chose this gift to give to my boyfriend for our one year anniversary, and I am super happy with my choice. I love that that wallet is not as bulky as others, and that it has enough pockets for everything. Really like that I was able to choose what initials to add on it because it made it more personal and memorable. Would definitely recommend it to a friend.
My grandson was looking for his first real wallet and this fit the bill perfectly. I was please with the speed of delivery! Great customer service during the busy holiday season.
I have always liked a thin wallet and thought that the similar Coach product was the only choice. This one seems to be the very same wallet at a much lower price. The Coach wallets held up for more than 5 years each, if the Leatherology product holds up for a equal amount of time, this will be a great substitution.
I was really please with this product' the only thing I was like awww about was the monogram was a little smaller than I expected.
But my husband he smiled from ear to ear when he opened it.
very good item was very fast del will gladly order again

Hot rodding is a timeless tradition which has created many timeless cars. And the great thing about the evolution of hot rodding technology over the past 30 years is that a vast array of great products continues to stream onto the market. Presently, anyone with a check book and an affliction for going way too fast and looking way too good can build anything from state-of-the-art avant-garde to old school cool. This wicked 1932 Ford Hi-Boy, with its proven suspension, advanced high output V8 and outrageous color combination is a perfect example of a ground-up build that combines the core strengths of original hot rodding with a modern vision and top notch components. Hi-boys are great cars and, not surprisingly, we sell them almost as fast as soon as they hit the showroom. So, if you're looking to score a sweet hot rod that mixes classic good looks with modern road manners, call us today!
Downs Industries is a family owned company that has spent the last 30 years supplying the classic car hobby with some of the best fiberglass components ever produced. With virtually no imperfections, this slick '32 Ford's Downs fiberglass fuselage is a testament to exactly why they've enjoyed such great success. It displays smooth vertical panels that could give an all-steel car a serious run for its money, and presents an arrow straight profile which looks absolutely fantastic under a rich coat of House of Kolor Cobalt Blue paint. Naturally, a body this nice deserves to be seen and celebrated to the highest extent, so the Cobalt Blue basecoat was topped with intense Candy flames, detailed with bright green pinstripes, color sanded, and sealed in a thick and glossy clearcoat shell. Today, with only 1,826 sunny day miles on its complete build, this awesome Hi-Boy roadster combines classic hot rod style with a vivid flair that puts a fresh twist on a proven trophy winning formula.
Everything on this '32 Ford is exceptionally well-done, and it has just the right amount of detail to create a lasting impression. At the front of the car, body-matched frame horns hold a polished spreader bar below a stainless grille and two great looking Ford Model A Twolite headlights. Behind that grille, a stainless topped four-piece steel hood runs to a chopped windshield which is bordered by a show quality chrome frame and small chrome rearview mirrors. At the top of that windshield, a removable Time Machines Unlimited cloth top hangs a small aluminum trimmed glass window above a Cool Cap fuel filler and a pinstriped, electrically operated trunk lid. The profile of the car presents a clean and simple look that is typical of classic fenderless hot rods. The door handles have been shaved, the door hinges are hidden, the flames are uninterrupted, and you can see just enough of the cars mirror-like chrome suspension to be captivated and drawn in. At the back of the car, a familiar billet aluminum tag bracket hangs between traditional round street rod tail lights, and a pair of high quality Megs stainless exhaust tips complement a body matched differential and chrome rear coil overs.
Under the cars solid steel hood, ample power is supplied by a GM Performance Parts Fast Burn 385 V8. Sold as a complete package, this 350 cubic inch, 385 horsepower small block utilizes a forged steel crank, powdered metal connecting rods, flat top hypereutectic pistons, a hydraulic cam, stamped steel self-aligning rocker arms and GMs revolutionary Fast Burn aluminum cylinder heads to create a 9.6 to 1 compression ratio and 385 lb./ft. of torque. At the top of the engine, an aftermarket wing nut cinches a trick stainless air cleaner down on a 4-barrel Edelbrock Performer 650 carburetor which is completely detailed with polished stainless fuel lines, braided hoses and a polished Edelbrock inline fuel filter. Under the carburetor, a polished GM Performance Parts intake manifold sits between finned aluminum valve covers that have been detailed with the same bright red paint that's on the engine block, and polished breathers. At the back of the engine, an HEI distributor sends sparks through red Taylor performance plug wires which snake around ceramic coated shorty headers; and at the front of the engine, a fresh V-belt spins a chrome alternator and a polished water pump that are sandwiched between billet pulleys and billet brackets. As with its fully detailed exterior panels, nothing was missed under the hood of this sharp '32 Ford; and its smooth and clean black engine compartment is finished with ancillary items such as a heavy duty radiator which is complete with an electric fan and chrome flex hoses, stainless brace bars, polished motor mounts, and even small pieces of hood insulation to shield its Candy flame paint from heat generated by the headers.
Underneath this impressive roadster, a chrome front I-beam suspension, which features a five inch drop, combines with a chrome ladder bar rear suspension, which features polished and satin finished coil over shocks, to produce thoroughly modern ride and handling characteristics. At the center of that custom suspension, a brand new Phoenix Transmission Turbo-Hydramatic 700R4 4-speed automatic, which is equipped with a Phoenix Transmission 2,600 RPM stall converter, sends power to a Currie nine inch Posi-traction rear end which carries stout 3.50 gears. Quick stops are provided by a frame mounted power brake booster which sends fluid through stainless steel lines and braided hoses to front 'fake brake' discs and traditional rear drums. A killer soundtrack is provided by the cars ceramic coated true dual exhaust system which looks to be about three inches in diameter and runs from coated shorty headers to polished Magnaflow mufflers and stainless Megs tips. Exceptionally clean and completely detailed for show, the bottom of this Ford includes details such as a gloss black, Oak reinforced floor pan, a complete set of stainless lines and hardware, rugged finned fluid pans, a body matched driveshaft and rear end, and even a trick, polished horn. At the corners of the car, 15 and 17 inch polished aluminum American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels spin 195/60 front and 275/60 rear Goodyear Eagle GT IIs around special order American Racing center caps.
Inside this awesome '32 Ford you'll find a spectacular looking red leather interior that provides a fun and stylish contrast to the cars deep blue exterior panels. The pleated leather bench seat is firm, provides good support and features sturdy two-point racing harnesses. At the sides of that seat, custom pleated door panels, which are equipped with billet aluminum handles, hang next to custom covered kick panels which include two red Kenwood speakers. Below the seat, like-new red carpet flows from the firewall to the back of the cockpit and props color-matched mats next to a chrome emergency brake handle and a chrome shifter with a blue swirl Lucite shift knob. At the front of the car, a smoothed and body-matched dash hangs a full set of Classic Instruments gauges below more stylish pin striping. And at the back of the car, a completely upholstered trunk hides an MP3 compatible, remote controlled AM/FM CD player behind more pleated red panels. Connecting the driver to the road is a polished and color coordinated banjo style steering wheel which rides on a body-matched tilt steering column above stylish billet stalks and mirror-like chrome foot pedals.
Naturally, this cool custom '32 Ford Hi-boy comes with a stack of build receipts and component manuals.
In short, this spectacular '32 Hi-Boy features the best of everything, and is the perfect street rod for someone who wants a fully sorted show stopper. It features an unbeatable combination of classic good looks and modern hot rod technology wrapped in professional build that simply cannot be duplicated for anywhere near our asking price.

Thank you for all the baby well-wishes…we are adjusting well and even managing to sleep well at night…imagine that!
Luckily I finished up this quilt just before she was born.
I backed it with a minkee fabric I bought locally. It has a really nice weight to it and is super soft (by Shannon Fabrics). I quilted it with minimal straight lines here and there to keep it from being too stiff.
The quilt matches her perfectly…I can't get enough of all the pink!

|A KosherEye Chat with Chef Avram Wiseman
We are continuing our chat with Chef Avram Wiseman, CKCA Dean of Student Affairs / Head Culinary Instructor.
Obviously, you have a love of cooking. When did it begin?
Where did you get your culinary training?
When did you realize that teaching was the path you wanted to follow?
Of course all of your students are "stars", but have you discovered a super-star chef?
Chef Avram shared a recent encounter with a former student who came to the CCKA 2 ½ years ago, speaking only Hebrew, and living in his mother's apartment. Upon seeing him recently, the student hugged him and shared that he now holds a job and has his own apartment. Chef Avram is gratified that he taught him a trade –and that the man now makes a living.
What are some of your culinary specialties?
Do you have memories of some special family heirloom recipes??
Can you share something about yourself that few people know?
What is your favorite kitchen tool? The mandolin – It is most practical and useful. I also like the immersion blender and the meat grinder. In addition to using the grinder for meat, I sometimes use it for vegetables headed for a consommé or sauce; or for a mirepoix.

Fazielah's top three nightlife things to do in Cape Town
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
When the sun sets in inspirational Cape Town, her streets and people come alive in a bustling fashion.
Join me at the following nightlife events and venues from October 15 to 18, and discover why the fun never stops in the Mother City:
Voor Ek Vergeet…
The breathtaking Theatre on the Bay in balmy Camps Bay has refreshed its spring/summer line-up with the addition of the heartbreaking Afrikaans drama, Voor Ek Vergeet.
Running until October 20, this powerful production stars theatre legend Amanda Strydom and Hannes van Wyk, and provides a rare, emotional insight into the complex relationship between mother and son.
Book your tickets at +27 (0)861 915 8000.
Alexander Upstairs
The très chic Alexander Bar in the city centre launches its new upstairs entertainment venue with a bang this week.
From the mystifying wonders of illusionist Stuart Lightbody in Elegant Deceptions to the side-splittingly hilarious antics of comedians Rob van Vuuren and Martin Evans in Pants on Fire, you'll be thoroughly entertained.
Give their South Side cocktail a try – it's simply delicious and only R35!
For more information, contact +27 (0)21 300 1088 or visit www.alexanderbar.co.za.
169 on Long
The night is young and there is still plenty to see and do, so pop into 169 on Long for a superb cocktail or two.
If you're feeling peckish, try the spicy Cuban bread and tapas at the restaurant or enjoy the atmosphere of the cigar bar on the top level.
Remember: Happy hour runs from 17h00 to 19h00.
For more information, contact +27 (0)21 424 2331.

"You're the best ever"
Here's Tom Brady with his son Benjamin in Boston at the parade today celebrating the Patriots' win, his fourth. And, again, it was his 2nd MVP. So he's now tied with Joe Montana and Peyton Manning for most Super Bowl rings and MVPs of all time. Obviously, as if there was any argument, he's a legend now. Full Story
Gisele gets her ring

Her Super Bowl ring. Tom Brady hadn't won a Super Bowl since Gisele…until the Seattle Seahawks decided not to give the ball to Marshawn Lynch. Another MVP. His 4th Super Bowl ring. So f-cking handsome (does anyone look better in a close-up with no makeup and sweat all over his face?). Full Story
Courtside Kings & Queens

Is that all it takes? Asking out loud? I wrote yesterday about all the speculation that Prince William and Catherine would likely be in a luxury box at Barclays for the Brooklyn Nets game but if they're there because the NBA is making a big ass donation and they're publicising whatever it is that they're publicising, what's the point of sh-tty photos from a luxury box? Courtside, baby. Full Story
Royal scrum
Chris Jackson/ Getty
Prince Harry was at work today in Manchester, England in his role as Patron of England Rugby's All Schools Programme. He participated in a game of touch rugby during teacher training sessions. Happily they let him wear his athletic clothes. Right? Sometimes he shows up at these sporty events in his suits even though he's supposed to roll around on the field. Full Story
South Park takes on the Washington Entitled Twats and it is GLORIOUS
I've pretty much gone off football these days. I've loved football my whole life, but I can't take it anymore. I can't pretend like someone being good at running and catching stuff somehow indemnifies them from being a decent person. Full Story
How come JT isn't being ruled out?
I don't like the NFL much these days. A two game suspension for Ray Rice – that's it? TWO GAMES? If you don't know what I'm talking about, google Ray Rice (after you've finished reading my post!) and tell me what you think of a two game suspension for what he did. Full Story
Rafa at a wedding
Rafael Nadal and girlfriend Xisca Perello were at a wedding this weekend in Spain. Cuuuuuute! I love him! I love them! Rafa is enjoying some down time before he prepares for the final slam of the season, the US Open. Mostly they care about the title, but he and Novak Djokovic are #2 and #1 on the tour and the tournament will likely also determine who's on top to end 2014. Full Story
Golden Balls gets golden slimed
Kevin Winter/ Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Getty
David Beckham was honoured – sort of – at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards last night in LA. He had his boys Romeo and Cruz with him. H7 is too young and Brooklyn, I guess, doesn't want to be a "kid" anymore? I totally get that. But how cute is the hair? The Beckham boys family hair. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
That Michael Sam package during the ESPYs last night was one of the best award show moments I've ever seen. In fact, the production quality of that entire show was top level. I've written before about sports doc "producer porn" after watching several of those 30 for 30 films. They're beautifully shot, tightly edited, and the story doesn't need any embellishment. Michael Sam's story is everything.
And Michael Sam showed up to collect his Arthur Ashe Courage Award, in an arena that included a lot of people who didn't want him, who don't get him, who think he's beneath them, proudly holding onto Vito's hand, proudly kissing him before he went on stage, proudly declaring his love for him while he was accepting his honour.
All I've been able to find so far is Sam's speech but I'll keep looking for the short film that preceded it because, sports fan or not, it's worth your time. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
Derek Jeter will play in his final MLB all-star game tonight. And everyone is making a big deal of it (because he IS a big deal, and has been for 20 years)...except Derek Jeter. Which is so Derek Jeter.
To honour Jeter's career, Nike put out an ad, celebrating two decades of his talent, featuring some very big names. The fun is in spotting them, so I'll leave that for you to enjoy. It's a beautifully produced commercial, right from the slow motion walk to the plate. And there's something so classically elegant about a simple tip of a cap, or a hood.
Jeter declined to wear a microphone during the game tonight. They're saying he might not even talk, like at all. He says he's just there to play. And that the emotion of it all hasn't affected him. Good. Read Full Intro
Rihanna touches the World Cup
Rihanna was at the game on Sunday. She's been all over the tournament on her Twitter account. So after Germany's victory, she partied with the players and the players had the trophy, and she put her hands on it, and now the Daily Mail, because they haven't sh-t on enough celebrities this week, are calling her out for violating FIFA regulations.

Taylor Kitsch: True Detective, Bad Company?
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Taylor Kitsch was in Brazil for the World Cup. On Friday it was widely reported that he and Colin Farrell are being considered for the second season of True Detective. It'd be a great career move for both – particularly Kitsch who did well on HBO's The Normal Heart and could use some television stabilising after a rough attempt at the movies. Full Story
Beckhams at the finals
Splash News, Jamie Squire/ Getty
Here are some really cute shots of David Beckham with his three boys at the World Cup final yesterday. As you can see, the family B did not cheer for the winning side. Me neither. Don't be mad at me German gossips. I just really like Lionel Messi. He's 27. He has one more left in him, doesn't he? Does he? Anyway, FIFA tried to assemble as many greats together as they could.

WEDNESDAY - September 26, 2007
RALEIGH - United States Attorney George E. B. Holding announced that in federal court on September 26, 2007, HOBERT F. BRITT, 60, of Lumberton, North Carolina, pled guilty before United States District Judge Terrence W. Boyle.
BRITT was charged in a Criminal Information filed by the United States Attorney's Office on September 11, 2007, with conspiracy to commit satellite piracy. BRITT used illegally reprogrammed satellite cards to receive unlimited programming from DirecTV. The use of these illegally reprogrammed cards resulted in thousands of dollars in loss to DirecTV.
Pursuant to his plea agreement, BRITT faces a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, 2 years supervised release and a $100 special assessment. As a part of his plea agreement, BRITT agreed to waive his right to indictment by a federal grand jury and to assist investigators. BRITT's actual sentence will be determined by the Court using the United States Sentencing Guidelines, which are advisory. Sentencing will be at a later date.
This case is a part of the Operation Tarnished Badge investigation of the Robeson County Sheriff's Office. To date, Operation Tarnished Badge has resulted in 22 convictions to various federal criminal violations, including, conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the government, conspiracy to commit satellite piracy, conspiracy to commit kidnaping, conspiracy to distribute cocaine and use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence. Operation Tarnished Badge is an ongoing investigation at this time.
The investigative agencies involved in Operation Tarnished Badge are the United States Department of Revenue, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigations Division; the United States Secret Service; and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorneys Frank Bradsher and Wes Camden are handling the case for the United States Attorney's Office.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

Tour a 47-Story Tower with Interiors by Lenny Kravitz
Like the man himself, Lenny Kravitz's music is soulful, cool, and utterly seductive. The same can be said for his interiors. The Grammy Award–winning rocker—currently on tour for his ninth album, Black and White America, and acting in two upcoming films, now that The Hunger Games has made him a movie star—has found the time to establish his own thriving interior design firm. "Creativity is creativity as far as I'm concerned," says Kravitz, whose projects have ranged from designs for a 47-story Miami tower to chandeliers for Swarovski. His dream is to launch his own lifestyle brand. "It would go from fashion to furniture," says Kravitz, who cites Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani as inspirations. "I want to do cutlery, plates, lamps, chairs, sofas, and beds—I mean, everything. I'm working on it now."
Click through our slideshow to see Kravitz's favorite things then check out his interiors for the Paramount Bay.
Timeless, organic, and supercomfortable. It's in every one of my homes.

Community Sanitation Overview:
The community water/sewer system was constructed in 1978 and was expanded in 1982 to a new housing area. Water is supplied by a stream and wooden reservoir dam northwest of the City. It is stored in two 30,000-gallon water tanks before distribution. All 50 homes are connected to the piped water and sewer system. Sewage is piped to a central septic system. Wastewater flows untreated through outfall lines into Nazan Bay. Garbage is collected twice a week. The City has requested funds to increase water capacity, replace the water treatment system, replace connections, and treat the sewage outfall. A hydro-electric system at Chuniisax Creek will complete construction by 2011. Funding is from Alaska Department of Economic Development, Division of Administration, Alaska Energy Authority and the City of Atka. The sewer portion is in the design phase and will provide a sewer upgrade to the distribution system at the old village. Water portion is in the planning phase for a new 130,000 gallon tank and water treatment plant. The City of Atka assumed operation of the electric utility in 2007. Work began on extension and repavement of the Atka airstrip in summer of 2008; completed in 2009. Atka Pride Seafoods processing plant will be expanded to allow for processing of multi-species. A crab allocation was purchased by Atka Pride Seafoods and APICDA from Westward Seafoods. The crab will be processed in the local plant. The City of Atka does not charge customers what it costs them to operate the utility but continues to have other sources of funds to cover all utility expenses. The City of Atka has consistently met all essential capacity indicators and the majority of the sustainable indicators.

How do we learn? Understanding 'how' is the key to learning more effectively. This unit looks at the three main categories of theories: the acquisitive, constructivist and experiential models of learning. There is no right way to learn but developing an active approach will ensure that you are open to new ideas.
After completing this unit you should be able to:
- assess your learning styles and capabilities, using a learning file in which to record your progress;
- describe the main definitions of learning as a process, and the role played by memorising, understanding and doing;
- explain the three main categories of theories about learning, namely the acquisitive, constructivist and experiential models of learning;
- discuss the main conceptions of managing as an activity, and how systems thinking and practice benefit from learning by experience.

Learning, thinking and doing
This unit is from our archive and it is an adapted extract from Systems thinking: principles and practice (T205) which is no longer in presentation. If you wish to study formally at the Open University, you may wish to explore the courses we offer in this curriculum area. [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]
This unit has been written because it is all too easy not to take an active approach to learning, thinking and doing, merely reading information but not actively engaging with it. The unit itself is a mixture of the theoretical and the practical, the academic and the vocational, and the readings that follow are designed to stimulate an active approach to learning, thinking and doing. There is no right way of engaging with the material covered in this unit – you have your own reasons for studying it and your own favoured styles of working.
This unit deals with the strategies for coping with the demands of learning, but does not cover the tactics required for successful learning. It does not cover specific study skills such as note taking, effective writing or preparing for assignments. If you believe that you need to learn, or brush up on, these types of skills then you are strongly advised to get a copy of The Sciences Good Study Guide by Northedge, Thomas, Lane and Peasgood, 1997, Open University, ISBN 9780749234119.
