Take a Peek Inside Supernatural Episode 10.18 – Book of the Damned
The 10th season of "Supernatural" has been somewhat disappointing to this longtime fan of the show, but here's hoping a visit from regular guest star Felicia Day can inject a bit of energy into the proceedings. Here's an inside look at tomorrow night's Episode 10.18, "Book of the Damned," in which executive producer Jeremy Carver teases that Dean might finally have a way out of damnation!
"Supernatural" Episode 10.18 – "Book of the Damned" (airs 4/15/15)
FELICIA DAY RETURNS AS CHARLIE — Charlie (guest star Felicia Day) calls Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) to tell them she found the Book of the Dead, which could help remove the Mark of Cain. The Winchesters race to her after she tells them she's been shot by a man named Jacob Styne (guest star Jeff Branson), who says the book belongs to his family and he won't rest until he gets it back.
Meanwhile, Castiel (Misha Collins) and Metatron (guest star Curtis Armstrong) take a road trip to find Castiel's grace, but they hit a couple of bumps along the way. PJ Pesce directed this episode written by Robbie Thompson.

First Clip Feeds You a Helping of Applesauce
Filmmaker Onur Tukel made an impressive debut on the horror scene with last year's Summer of Blood, and this year he returns to horror with Applesauce. Ahead of its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival we've gotten our hands on the first clip, featuring Trick 'r Treat's Dylan Baker. Dig it!
Applesauce also stars Tukel himself as well as Trieste Kelly Dunn, Max Casella, and Jennifer Prediger.
After he confesses the worst thing he's ever done to a radio talk show host, Ron Welz's past starts catching up to him, and someone starts sending him body parts. Who is tormenting him? There are eight million people in New York City, and everyone's a suspect.

80s Throwback Invites You Down the Demon Hole
It's no secret that the 80s were a prime decade for horror fans, which is why so many filmmakers of today are so eager to evoke the spirit of that bygone era. Horror-comedy Demon Hole looks to do just that, and we've got all the details for ya today.
Screen Daily reports that UK sales outfit SC Films has boarded international sales rights to the completed film, written and directed by Josh Crook. It's set to screen at Cannes.
Demon Hole charts the fallout after a fracking crew drills a hole on sacred Native American land unleashing an ancient demon, which then terrorizes six teens serving community service in a remote forest.
Cast includes Samantha Scaffidi, Austin Ramsey, Paris Campbell, Summer Bills and Adrian Denzel.
"The current crop of horror movies has gotten too severe and grim," says Cook. "While scary, they're also depressing. Taking influence from John Hughes as much as it does John Carpenter and Wes Craven, Demon Hole brings the vibe of the 1980s back and invites the audience to enjoy the ride."

Circle – New Poster and Trailer Prove Everything Gets You Killed
On tap right now we have the teaser trailer, an expanded version just for Dread Central readers, and the poster for the upcoming flick Circle courtesy of Votiv Films and Taggart Productions. If you're a fan who likes his/her horror served up with a hot side of weird, then this one is for you!
Written and directed by Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione, Circle stars Saw V and "Dexter's" Julie Benz, The Collection's Michael Nardelli, and Autumn Federici.
In a massive, mysterious chamber, fifty strangers awaken to find themselves trapped with no memory of how they got there. Organized in an inward-facing circle and unable to move, they quickly learn that every two minutes one of them must die… executed by a strange device in the center of the room. At first the attacks seem random, but soon the strangers realize that they, as a group, have the power to decide who will be the next to be killed. A vote. A chance to control the machine. But how can they choose who deserves to die? And what happens when there is only one person left?

The Outing: Lisdoonvarna
03 October 2014 - 06 October 2014
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Web: www.theouting.ie
The Outing Lisdoonvarna LGBT Matchmaking and Music Festival will come to life with more entertainment, more clubs, more DJ's, some comedy and more craic to be had by all! This is the LGBT music festival to be at as we take over the historic village of Lisdoonvarna, its hotels, its bars, and its venues for the whole weekend, from the 3rd – 6th October.
As part of the festival this year there will be 'An Evening with Brian Kennedy' live in The Hydro Ballroom. This will be Brian's 1st LGBT concert after doing a PA at Dublin Pride a few years back.
Lisdoonvarna residents and local business owners voiced their enthusiasm for what they see as a welcome new twist on the generations-old festival, which looks set to bring a new sector of tourists to the area. Fourth generation matchmaker, Willie Daly, will be present during The Outing's weekend and feels ready to bring some new couples together again this year! "Matchmaking has always been about love", he said. This year's festival theme is 'It's All About Love'. The Outing comprises a weekend package of hotel accommodation and full entertainment, fusing old Ireland with gay club life as céilís sit next to drag shows and tea dances lead into late night DJ sets.

MS in Entrepreneurship (MSE)
The Master's in Entrepreneurship (MSE) full-time program provides a rigorous immersion into the nature of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial process. Core content is coupled with a strong commitment to experiential learning. Students actually start a venture while in the program. The program is a component of the university-wide entrepreneurship emphasis at Oklahoma State University. It is targeted to students with a passion for entrepreneurship in for-profit, non-profit, and public sector contexts. It consists of 33 credit hours of coursework and practicum hours and can be completed in approximately 1 ½ years (three academic semesters). Each academic semester will feature a specific theme:
- Semester 1: Opportunity Recognition and Ideation
- Semester 2: Feasibility Analysis and Business Plan
- Semester 3: Launch
Admission Requirements
- Bachelor's degree required with a minimum GPA of 2.75
- GMAT test score
- Proposal for a new venture
- Entrepreneurial and other work experience preferred but not required
- For international students: Minimum TOEFL Score of 89
Target Audience
This is a full-time master's program. We seek highly motivated students from diverse backgrounds interested in creating growth-oriented for-profit or non-profit ventures. Special emphasis will be placed on students from professional disciplines. Incoming students who have taken equivalent graduate level courses can petition to substitute these for foundation-level or entrepreneurship requirements, but still must complete at least 27 hours within the Program.
Program Objectives
The MSE program strives to accomplish the following objectives:
- Enhance students' self-efficacy regarding acting entrepreneurially in new and established organizations.
- Develop within students the ability to conceptualize and communicate the complex challenges and analytical skills toward identifying plausible solutions to overcome such challenges.
- Improve student ability to employ intuitive, imaginative thought to critically evaluate ideas, processes, experiences, and outcomes associated with new venture creation.
- Enhance student competencies in the areas of opportunity recognition, risk management, resource leveraging, and business planning.
- Develop within students a first-hand appreciation for the nature of the entrepreneurial experience itself.
- Increase the appreciation among students for the need to engage in entrepreneurial behaviors that reflect high ethical standards, create ventures that contribute to societal well-being, and give back to the communities that make their ventures possible.
The MS in Entrepreneurship is a 1 ½ year program consisting of 33 credit hours. The credit hours consist of 12 credit hours of business foundation core, 18 credit hours of entrepreneurial core, and three hours of practicum credit.
Business Creation Requirement
While the program does not require a thesis, a requirement for graduation is that students complete a feasibility analysis and business plan for an original idea, complete an additional set of deliverables (further explained in the handbook), and either start the business or be poised to start the business following graduation. Space will be available within the MSE New Venture Lab incubator for qualified students to start their ventures.
Total Immersion and Support
Students in the Master's in Entrepreneurship Program will be afforded numerous learning opportunities outside of the classroom. They will be able to get involved in the Riata Business Plan Competition, the OSU Cowboy Entrepreneurship Bootcamps, the Veterans with Disabilities Entrepreneurship Program (VEP), Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship (WISE), the Entrepreneurship Empowerment in South Africa Program, the Riata Entrepreneurial Internship, the Technology Commercialization Project, the OSU Entrepreneurial Mentors Program, and other such initiatives. In addition, as students launch their ventures, they will have access to the OSU entrepreneurial network.
Career Prospects
The focus of the program is students creating their own ventures and jobs. As such, graduates will be prepared to start, manage, grow and exit ventures that they create alone and with partners. The skill set associated with successful venture creation can clearly add value in a wide range of professional contexts both in the public and private sector. However, the prime emphasis is on new venture creation.
Additional Information

"IMO if you knew someone was molesting kids and you did nothing to stop it, then you were guilty of molesting those kids as well."
Did the read the report? Aside from its many faults there is a chronology to the events. If you read the information in that report I think you'll agree Paterno did not "know" Sandusky was "molesting kids". So many in the media just read the Freeh news release and not the report. The Freeh news release makes accusations for which there is zero evidence in the report. Freeh took liberties re-phrasing certain quotes in his news release and press conference that were quite different than as written in the documented evidence in order to embellish his conclusions.
1998 - Sandusky is investigated by criminal and welfare authorities and there was no basis for prosecution found.
Let's assume Paterno, Spanier, Schultzz and Curley were aware of the investigation and it's outcome......no crime, but Sandusky demonstrated bad judgement. Dick Anderson another coach on staff testified at the Grand Jury he saw Sandusky in the showers with other boys, but did not think anything of it and never reported it to Paterno or anyone else for that matter.
So Curley, Paterno, Spanier and Schultz walk away from that investigation thinking it's basically a non-event.
The 2000 incident involving custodians never gets reported to anyone.
2001 incident is encountered by McQueary. McQueary says hears one thing but when he peeks into the showers he reports he sees something different. Paterno is not an eye witness just a hearsay witness. Presuming he knew of the 1998 investigation which was deemed not criminal, he reports the McQueary encounter to his superiors. They meet with McQueary. Keep in mind Sandusky is no longer involved in football operations, but is under the purview of the provost as a retired assistant professor emeritus.
A - All of the evidence by association and innuendo raised in the Freeh report indicates no one, not Paterno, not Spanier, not Curley "knew" Sandusky was a child molester.
B-We do not know what Paterno did to stop it. We do know that is his interview with teh Washingont Post he stated "I wish I had done more." MORE, which suggestes he did do something, but we do not know what other than reporting the event to Curley and Schultz. The State Prosecutor never asked him in the Grand Jury investigation. The Washington Post never followed and asked "what do you mean by more" Freeh never interviewed Paterno even though Paterno had agreed to the request. Only Paterno and probably Curley know exactly what Paterno did and did not do what he could possibly meant by the using the term "more".
We do know he did not report it to child welfare. He was not a witness to the act. He reported it up the chain of command which was PSU's weak policy procedure on minors at the time per the Freeh report. We do know Paterno did not report it directly to university police, but since he was not a witness, again it was not his responsibility - see Freeh report. He could have told McQueary to report to the PD, he did not and he can be criticized for that.
C - Freeh points out that under the Jean Clery Act, a coach is obligated to report an incident of sexual assault. Paterno was not a witness, is it his authority to determine what a sexual assault is. I mean, this was not a robbery or burglary; to a large extent is is a subjective assumption. Given the 1998 investigation which was not criminal, I surmise Paterno may have mis-assumed this was a near identical event.
Paterno admited he didn't know how to handle such sexual situations and wished their had been more training on campus. The Freeh report came to the same conclusions. While the Clery Act requires education on reporting for coaches, PSU never offered, nor required that training. He followed the existing PSU policy on incidents involving minors...see Freeh report.
D-While occurring on athletic department property, the event was not related to football operations. Paterno had been chastised in the past by the administration for butting his opinion into non-football issues. Was he dissuaded from furthering his involvement for fear of more non-football criticism? Given the nature of the allegations, that reasoning is weak, but clearly a possible thought process.
Life's not the breaths you take, the breathing in and out that gets you through the day ain't what it's all about. It's the moments that take your breath away.
The Penn St/Paterno appologists are looking very foolish. It's time to be honest with yourselves. I wanted to believe that Santa Claus was real even after I saw my Dad putting presents under the tree but after about two minutes of deep thought, common sense prevailed.
"I like to relax with a chainsaw." Tom Brands 12/4/09
When I read it Ryou, I believe that he did know and that they tried to cover it up as best they could. I believe he knew in 1998 that something was wrong and did nothing to stop it and he certainly knew n 2001 and did nothing to stop it. Telling the same administration officials that helped him sweep the 1998 incident under the rug does not count as telling the authorities. He should have gone directly to the police, he should have after 98 barred Sandusky from the campus. I dont see how anyone could come to another outcome.
This is one of the best conversations about this subject that i've read. I love this board, you guys are great.
I'm on Ryou's side on this concerning the NCAA's potential punishment. Spanier, Schults, Curley are gone. Sandusky is hopfully being anally raped with such frequency that shit no longer stays in his bowels, and paterno is in the ground. Sanctions on the university now is doing nothing but punishing innocent Students and atheletes. People want messages sent...I think other universities and especially Penn State have reviewed, modified, and have instructed their staff and professors on the policies. The NCAA should have each University submit their policies and methods of instruction for review to ensure there is consistancy.
This whole situation has put me through a multitude of emotions and at the end of it all, I'm embarrassed and saddened. That's all I can say, really.
So many links in the chain of events were broken, it's just incredible. Freeh found the 2001 incident was reported to the 2nd Mile, they opted to not report it either and Sandusky continued to work for them through 2009.
All I am suggesting is that the evidence compiled by Freeh and others does not support the conclusion that Paterno participated in the conspiracy. At this point in time, only Curley fully knows Paterno's role in this scheme. With such egregious actions on the part of Spanier, Curley, and Schultz, I want to see something more concrete against Paterno before I add him to the pile of the other three. After 60 plus years of integrity, the man has earned that right. I could care less about the university administration including the BoT right now. They've earned everything dumped on them and more. My sole interest is in Paterno.
8 months and Freeh couldn't find anything concrete on him. He couldn't even confirm the Curley / Paterno meeting meeting took place as he had for other Curley meetings from his appointment book.
Curley had heaps of motivation to protect Sandusky and the athletic program as he was the one that gave Sandusky the keys to the kingdom and negotiated the retirement perks. It was Curley that continued to invite Sandusky to PSU events after the 2001 incident, even after he was called to testify at the grand jury and as late as the home game Saturday before Sandusky's arrest.
Life's not the breaths you take, the breathing in and out that gets you through the day ain't what it's all about. It's the moments that take your breath away.
Here's the problem, nobody wants to make Paterno part of this me included. I would be most happy if he could go down in history as the beloved man he was thought to be. We see two different outcomes to the report you are in the vast minority which is fine but I can see why you could be. I think that when people read the report they expected Paterno and wanted Paterno to be free of all impropriety. The email record suggests strongly that Paterno was in the loop in 98 and we know he was in 01. Nobody is out to get him he brought this on himself by not living up to the standards he set not only for himself but the school as well. Now Patern's family had hired their l own people to investigate the incident and I hope they can restore paternos reputation but I doubt they can.

There are only four food groups:

Don Letts - Culture Clash, Chapter 20
Wednesday, 28th Nov 2012
Behind the Lens
I've made nearly 400 music videos to date, don't make 'em anymore but between the end of the seventies and the end of the nineties I directed video's for a diverse range of acts including The Jungle Brothers, The Pretenders, Sly and Robbie, Elvis Costello, Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Slits, Big Audio Dynamite, The Pogues, S'Express, Beenie Man, Apache Indian, Yaz, Bob Marley and, of course The Clash. In 1982, fledgling UK reggae band Musical Youth decided to give me a shot at their debut single 'Pass The Dutchie'. The song title was taken from a Mighty Diamonds' track called 'Pass the Kutchie' as in a herb pipe. Obviously these little Brummie kids couldn't be seen to be singing about weed. So they decided to find a word that rhymed with kutchie and decided on 'dutchie' (a Jamaican cooking pot). Since the lyrics were rendered non-sensical I decided to ignore them and came up with a vague story about them skipping school. But the most important thing was the location of their performance. At the start of the song one of the kids sing "this generation rules the nation with version" the camera pulls back and you see them playing in front of The House of Parliament! Just my way of showing a new face of London. During eighties I worked in Los Angeles for a while and ended up living in Hollywood for six months. The first video I shot there featured an up-and-coming youngster known to you as Ice-T.
Next up an American heavy metal band called Ratt. The video for their single 'Round and Round' came out when they were on tour supporting Mötley Crüe and did so well that Mötley Crüe ended up supporting them! Cut to Venice Beach I'm shooting the Gap Bands 'Party Train'. These guys were so out of it when they arrived all they could do was walk twenty yards along the beach and that was it. I made an asset out of my problem and the video smashed it. But there were changes afoot driven by MTV and soon it was all about the gloss of videos like Duran Duran's 'Rio' which wasn't really my speed. The last group I made a few videos for was Shaun Ryder's Black Grape formed three years after Happy Mondays split up. We went to Jamaica to shoot the promo for 'In the Name of the Father' and needless to say Jamaica's never been the same. In the current climate it's hard to find people with any attitude at all and if you don't look good and you can't dance then you are a truly screwed.
The corporate politics of pop video making soon got the better of me so I opted out for documentaries. After my first film the admittedly rough and ready 'Punk Rock Movie' it was Chris Blackwell who really got me back into a more documentary style. I did several projects for Chris over the years including 'Legend' (Bob Marley) and also my first featuring film 'Dancehall Queen'. Shot entirely in Jamaica it's the story of a humble street vendor who, through the world of dancehall, escapes to make her life better and features performances from Beenie Man and Lady Saw. The film went on to smash the Jamaican box office and although 'The Harder They Come' will always be the Jamaican film for my generation, for the new generation its Dancehall Queen…trust me.
Shortly after that I got to direct 'Planet Rock' for the BBC. It focused on hip-hop and the effect of black music in the eighties. I returned to New York to film artists like Africa Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Chuck D, De La Soul, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Frankie Knuckles and the Detroit legend Derrick May. The premise of my episode was how black music gave new life to the dying carcass that was rock'n' roll. No shit! Now The Clash had talked about doing a film over the years but never had the time or the inclination but in 2000 I got the call. You know as much as I'd love to take credit for making 'Westway to The World' I think you'd have to be a complete idiot to make a bad film about 'the only band that mattered'. As it turned out I got a Grammy for it.
My next film "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" was a piece I'm particularly proud of, as it was the last word from the one and only Gil Scott-Heron before he passed away in 2011. On the strength of that I got to do 'Brother From Another Planet' a documentary on Sun Ra. He is to jazz what Lee Perry is to reggae and broke new ground mixing electronic sounds with jazz, long before Miles Davis did. Funny, I just can't escape punk rock, 'cause as far as I am concerned, that is exactly what Sun-Ra was. I followed that with 'Tales of Dr. Funkenstein' the story of George Clinton. Once again here was someone that ticked all the required boxes to get me fired up. In 2004, some thirty years after the first stirrings of the UK Punk movement, I was approached to make 'Punk: Attitude'. It occurred to me that the over-emphasis on the late '70s punk incarnation undermined a bigger idea. What we're really talking about here is counter-culture, which has a tradition and a heritage i.e. punk rock didn't start and end in the late seventies. I wanted to show that punk was not something to look back on, but something to look forward to and if you are brave enough and you have a good idea you can be a part of it.
I directed the final part of a series called 'Soul Britannia' for the BBC called in 2007. Starting with the arrival of the Jamaican immigrants in the fifties, it looked at the impact of black music from that time till this and the social and cultural impact that has followed in its wake. It really drove home and touched on many of the themes running through my journey and our part in creating a new British identity. For my episode I roped in people like Jazzie B, Norman Jay, Daddy G (Massive Attack), Rebel MC, Amy Winehouse, Goldie, Roots Manuva, Mica Paris and Rodney P. These artists are all proof that the cultural exchange was very much a two-way street. They have had as much impact on Britain as Britain has on them.

SACKVILLE, N.B. – A trial shuttle service will hit the roads of the Tantramar region next month, providing local residents with a way to get to and from medical appointments, grocery shopping, and other amenities.
The pilot project, which is being spearheaded by the non-profit group EOS Eco-Energy, will see a four-week trial run start Feb. 1, using an EastLink Shuttle charter bus or van.
Amanda Marlin, executive director of EOS, says the shuttle is being targeted toward a wide range of people – from seniors needing to get to medical appointments, to low-income people getting to the food bank, to mentally-challenged adults traveling to work (for example, Open Sky co-operative in Middle Sackville), and Mount Allison students traveling to Moncton or Amherst, as well as single-car families needing to get around the region.
"There's a huge need out there," says Marlin.
A shuttle service would improve the overall quality of life of so many Tantramar residents, from all walks of life, she explains.
"Then there are those who simply would like to do it because it's more environmentally friendly."
Tantramar, a largely rural riding, currently doesn't have a community transportation service. A shuttle, says Marlin, would provide people throughout the region with an option that could meet their transportation needs.
Area residents had the opportunity over the past month to provide their feedback through a survey that was put out to the community, which could either be filled out on paper or online. The aim of the survey was to determine how often the service might be needed, the destinations, times, and reasons people may have for using the service.
Marlin says EOS is currently gathering the information provided through the surveys and will try and pinpoint routes and times that would serve the most number of people. (Residents who didn't get a chance to fill out a survey can still provide their feedback by calling the EOS office at 536-4487.)
Marlin says obviously the shuttle won't be able to cater to everyone at all times but if there are groups of people going in the same direction at the same time, then hopefully there will be "patterns that will emerge" that will make it easier to design a beneficial and efficient service.
EOS has received funding for the trial project – $5,000 from the Economic and Social Inclusions Corporation, a Crown corporation in New Brunswick, and $5,000 from Renaissance Sackville, a local non-profit organization.
Marlin says this month-long pilot will determine where the community can go from here when it comes to providing common transportation – whether EastLink would consider offering rides to certain groups or a local entrepreneur would look at starting their own shuttle service.
"This is only a pilot . . . but you have to start somewhere," she says. "We'll see how it goes. That's all we can do."
Marlin says people will be encouraged to fill out user surveys during the trial period to help determine how well the service is working, and what a future long-term shuttle service might look like or how it could work.

A Small Boy and Others (1913), Notes of a Son and Brother ((1914), and the unfinished posthumously published The Middle Years (1917), together constitute Henry James's autobiographical writings. They were edited by Frederick W. Dupee and published with the title Henry James: Autobiography in 1956. The autobiographical impulse was occasioned by the loss of James's brothers, Robertson and William in 1910, the last members of his immediate family. Looking through William's letters, James decided to record their early life. He had also completed the extensive revisions and prefaces for the New York Edition (1907-9) of his collected works, a summing up of his artistic principles and career. …

GPS Combo
This is our flagship of neck protection for goalies. With superior protection from impacts and cuts, our standard Combo clavicle pad is 10" in length from edge to edge and 4" in height from edge to edge. We offer different collar heights, notch cutouts for more neck clearance, and we also offer several modifications aimed at covering the area left exposed by the neck line of your particular chest & arm.
GPS Collar
Our GPS Collar features the same protective materials used in the goalie GPS Combo, while being aimed at forwards who require protection from impacts and cuts. It does not feature the clavical pad associated with the GPS Combo, but has an available option for a bib (not pictured).
GPS Knee/Thigh Pads
New for 2013, Maltese Sports introduces our latest product, the gpsKTPs - GPS Knee/Thigh Pads.
After years of research and development in the knee pad department and based on the success of our GPS products, specifically, our neck protection, we have, what we feel is the ultimate knee protection. We use three layers of our air frothed gel to make the most comfortable, mobile and protective knee pads. But we didn't stop at the knees, we went higher to protect the thighs too. Often, when in the butterfly the thighs get exposed more than the knees and I know this from experience. As always, no hard parts used, so landing on these "stand alone" protective Knee/Thigh Pads (KTPs), will solve rock hard landing gear pads as well as missing your landing gear altogether. It's when you take a puck to the knee/thigh area and you don't hear a noise and don't feel a thing that you'll come to fully appreciate these pads from us. Goalies often complain that their knee pads of choice prevent their pads from rotating, but ours are very low profile and do not cause those same rotation issues.
GPS Lace-Bite Pads
Our first mass distributed item to NHL teams. These pads have gone through three incarnations as our materials evolved, and just like the rest of our lineup, the Lace-Bite Pads feature reduced weight while offering the same amount of protection.
The pads prevent lace bite via a simple appliance to use. While your skates are on, but not laced up, you place the pad against the affected area; bring down the tongue and lace as per usual. When you unlace your skate and take it off, the LBP stays put on the tongue. No more looking for your lace bite pads for each skate session!
GPS Mask Padding
This is 'it'…the padding that will change how masks are finished off. Say good-bye to ineffective materials like Rubatex, EVA, EPP and anything else that is NOT gel. Our gel has an effective operational range of -40 degrees to 200 degrees. It is 100% hypoallergenic. The gel immediately rebounds to provide the same level of excellent attenuation for multiple sequential impacts. This gel appears to be foam, but do not mistake it as such. This gel looked like the gel we all know prior to being air frothed, which reduces the weight. We offer two thicknesses in the kit. The blue is ¼" thick and the gray is 1/8" thick and self adhesive so it can be married to the blue (provided you've cleaned it well) wherever you may need the gel to be thicker. The attenuation properties of the gel mean you can use a thinner padding, which increases overall visibility, while increasing your protection.
Easy to install, provided you follow a few basic tenets; clean the surface of the mask thoroughly using an astringent such as lacquer thinner, remove the scrim (cloth) backing from the pieces of gel to receive the adhesive (contact cement). The scrim backing is left on to keep the surface of the gel pieces clean, so do not remove it until you are ready to affix your dots. Allow the adhesive to set up for a minimum of twenty-four hours prior to use. A bonus in using the gel is that it will outlive your mask!
GPS Chin Sling
Our GPS Chin Slings are a new option for goalies, filling the need for goalies who prefer the feel of a sling in their masks. This item is an option in the GPS Mask Padding Kit, but we now offer it as a standalone item for those who wish to upgrade from the classic chin pad.
GPS Ankle Pads
gpsAnklePads - relief from butterfly ankle(s) as well as skates that don't fit well in the ankle.
Maltese Sports T-Shirts
Perfect for in the game, working out or as a casual go-to! 50/50 cotton/polyester blend.
Available Sizes: Small/Medium/Large/Extra Large

Pernilla & Asif create eye-catching high-tech Coca Cola pavilion for Olympic site
Pernilla & Asif are used to creating some pretty mindbending experiences (room full of clouds anyone?) and the duo's latest work, the Coca Cola Beatbox is predictably eye-catching. Situated in the Olympic Park, it's described as "an experimental fusion of architecture, sport, music and technology that creates a stunning multi-sensory experience" and comprises 200 interlocked translucent air cushions. Visitors can "play" the different cushions through their gestures and movement and this remixes the Mark Ronson track which uses samples of five Olympic sports (whose creation was memorably captured in Kim Gehrig's excellent documentary Beat).
Asif Khan and Pernilla Ohrstedt, said: "The Coca-Cola Beatbox is our largest commission so far and we're thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase our distinctive brand of architectural design at London 2012. We have created a structure that fuses architecture, music, sport and technology in a completely unique way."
The pavilion also houses Jason Bruges' installation Aerial Dynamics, 180 bespoke mechatronic bubbles which glow along to the beat based on visitors' interaction with the piece and the space will host performances from specially-chosen young talents throughout the Games.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 09:40AM
The embarrassing withdrawal is likely to cause harm to the Tesco brand, which is battling to turn around a slide in its market share, by improving perceptions of the quality of its food and service.
The burgers that tested positive were produced in two plants in Ireland and one in the UK. The revelations emerged following checks by Irish food safety experts.
Tesco has been forced to hurry out an apology last night and said that the suspect burgers had been withdrawn from shelves.
However, it is likely that thousands have already been eaten.
The highest levels of horse meat were found in the chain's Everyday Value burgers, but traces were also found in its frozen quarter pounders.
Iceland, Aldi and Lidl have also been hit by the horse meat contamination.
Tim Smith, Tesco's technical director and a former head of the Food Standards Agency, said: "We immediately withdrew from sale all products from the supplier in question.
"We are working with the authorities in Ireland and the UK and with the supplier concerned, to urgently understand how this has happened and how to ensure it does not happen again.
"The safety and quality of our food is of the highest importance to Tesco. We will not tolerate any compromise in the quality of the food we sell.
"The presence of illegal meat in our products is extremely serious. Our customers have the right to expect that food they buy is produced to the highest quality."Follow @JohnReynolds10

Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
Knowing that active, engaged learning fosters critical thinking that identifies problems and produces solutions, Wittenberg's Department of Mathematics challenges students to obtain sophisticated theoretical knowledge and problem solving skills that resolve real-world issues.
Students in the department of mathematics are able to specialize in one of three tracks: pure math, applied math or statistics. The pure math track prepares students for abstract thinking necessary for teaching, graduate school or professional mathematics, and the applied math gives students specific skills to solve problems using technology needed for jobs in industry. Students interested in jobs or grad school in statistics or actuarial science can major in math and specialize on the Statistics Track, through which students learn how to use quantitative analysis to gain insight from data for solving real-life problems. Students majoring in other fields can pursue a Statistics Minor so that they can apply powerful stat concepts, methods and techniques to analyze information from work in their field.
The department of mathematics works in conjunction with the departments of computer science and statistics, allowing students to add breadth to their major and providing for cross-disciplinary research opportunities. Through close interaction with distinguished faculty, students in the department of mathematics are well trained in critical and logical thinking, which is central to an understanding of the natural sciences and figures prominently in many of the social sciences. Mathematics provides an excellent preparation for any career field— technical or not.
The department of mathematics is proud to be associated with the Bullock Math Academy, which reaches out to local middle school students to make them aware of the beauty of mathematics.
Mathematics majors pursuing a career in secondary education in math and science may be eligible for the Robert C. Noyce Scholarship.

I'm not sure if these things are prone to tipping... but a lot of the load sits down at the bottom of the hopper so it probably has a low center of gravity.

The Shockers won the set 30-28 on a kill by Adney.
The beginning of the second set went back-and-forth, but the Aggies grabbed an 11-7 lead with a kill. NMSU ran away with the second set winning 25-16.
A Reilly kill gave the Shocks an early 7-5 lead in the third set. NMSU came back to tie it at 10 and the two teams went back-and-forth until the Aggies took a 22-19 lead on a kill. NMSU scored three of the final four points of the set to win 25-20.
The Shockers took control of the fourth set with back-to-back service aces from Adney for an 18-12 lead. A kill by Sam Sanders gave WSU a 20-14 lead, but the Aggies stormed back to tie the set at 20. WSU answered with a 3-0 run, but NMSU then scored three-straight for a 23-23 tie. The Aggies scored three of the final four points for the 26-24 win.
The Shockers are next in action on Sat., August 25 at 2 p.m. against Northern Illinois.

Step 1: Gather your ingredients
Puff pastry sheets or phyllo dough, both should be readily available at your local grocery store in the frozen section. For this, I went puff pastry style.
Pie filling - The cherry, lime, raspberry, it's up to you. I opted for apple filling which also comes in a light version that is significantly nicer on the hips.
Brie - also comes in a lighter version, a good 30 calories or so less than the classic kind.
Cooking oil, I used spray but you can use whatever floats your boat, it's just to coat the pan.
Nutmeg, cinnamon and a bit o' honey.
A pan or casserole dish - I used a muffin pan to give better individual portions and it makes it look nice and pretty for presentation but a casserole dish will do just fine.
A cup or cookie cutter
And a plate of course.
Step 2: Preparation
Grease up your muffin pan.
Step 3: Get Started!
Cut up slices of brie, don't go crazy but don't be stingy. You want it to be nice and creamy to balance the fruit.
Lay each circle into the cups and lay the cheese slices over. Now, put in pie filling.
The fruit I had was fairly large so I diced it and then put it into the mix.
Plop another dough circle on top and sprinkle a lil' cinnamon and nutmeg on top...or save that for late in plating if you find that to be better.

AN EXOTIC type of quantum matter could help test fundamental theories of nature, such as string theory, that are beyond the reach of today's experiments.
So say Don Colladay and Patrick McDonald at the New College of Florida, who have examined how any deviations from Einstein's theory of relativity would be reflected in Bose-Einstein condensates. These "super-atoms" form when quantum particles with the same energy clump together at temperatures close to absolute zero.
Relativity is one of the foundations of modern physics. At its heart lies the assumption that the laws of physics are the same for everyone, everywhere in the universe, regardless of how fast they move or which direction they face, a property known as Lorentz symmetry.
Attempts to reconcile gravity with quantum physics in a theory of everything have led to suggestions that this symmetry may not hold for more fundamental theories that underlie current models of ...

A Syrian rebel distributes bullets to comrades in the Karm al-Jabal district of Aleppo.
AMMAN/BEIRUT: Syrian rebels and an Arab League official dashed hopes Monday that a temporary cease-fire would go into effect during the Eid al-Adha holiday later this week.
U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi's proposal for a truce "is just a media bubble," according to Colonel Qassem Saadeddine, a spokesman of the joint command of the rebel Free Syrian Army inside the country.
"Who is going to implement it and who is going to supervise it? We are still committed to any U.N. decision. But on this truce ... what is the mechanism to implement it?" Saadeddine told Reuters.
He said rebels had implemented the last cease-fire – an April 12 deal brokered by former mediator Kofi Annan – but that Assad's forces had not honored it. Syrian authorities accuse the rebels of violating the cease-fire.
Another rebel commander in Damascus, who declined to be identified, was blunter: "The truce will not happen. We will not accept it. It's not in our interest."
Brahimi, who held talks in Damascus Sunday with President Bashar Assad, has proposed that government forces and the rebels hold fire during the three-day Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which starts Friday.
His call has won the backing of Iran and Russia, which have provided support to Assad, and Turkey, which backs the rebels in a conflict that has killed more than 30,000 people.
Brahimi declined to say how Assad had responded to his cease-fire appeal, and suggested it was up to individual groups to decide how to implement it.
Syria has not publicly embraced Brahimi's proposal and state media quoted Assad as saying any initiative must be centered on "halting terrorism and ... commitment by the countries involved in supporting, arming and harboring the terrorists in Syria to stop these actions."
Ahmad Ben Hilli, deputy secretary-general of the Arab League, said on the sidelines of a conference in Dubai that "the indications that are now apparent and the government's reaction ... do not show any signs of a real desire to implement this cease-fire."
The head of the U.N.'s peacekeeping force, speaking in New York, said the world body was preparing various contingency plans to send peacekeepers as part of a cease-fire or political deal, but added that it was too early say how many would be needed.
Herve Ladsous warned, however, that the plans would need the approval of the U.N. Security Council which has been divided on the 19-month conflict.
In Syria, fighting and violence throughout the country Monday claimed the lives of 102 people, according to the Local Coordination Committees, a pro-uprising network of activists, while the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 84 people, including 22 civilians, were killed.
Sunday's death toll, according to the Observatory, stood at 173 people: 65 civilians, 46 rebels and 62 government troops.
Separately, Jordan sustained its first military casualty in the Syrian uprising when a Jordanian soldier was killed before dawn Monday in a clash with militants trying to cross the border into Syria, according to Information and Culture Minister Samih Maaytah.
He told AFP that Corporal Mohammad Abdullah al-Manasir, 25, was "martyred during a clash with an armed group that was trying to enter Syria."
A military statement said soldiers guarding the border exchanged fire during the night with two separate groups comprising 13 gunmen in total. The corporal was killed during an exchange of fire with eight militants, according to the statement. Several of the gunmen were arrested in possession of automatic weapons.
A separate clash occurred with another "armed Takfiri [jihadist] group" that tried to cross the border several hours later, the statement said. All five members of that group were arrested, one with injuries.

This is what I came up with while stitching down my binding yesterday! I love that I have grown as a seamstress, to the point where I can envision a bag, and have the experience to accomplish it!

There's not really a front or back . . .
I added pockets to my lining, to fit a phone, pens and miscellaneous bits that always land at the bottom. I added stuff for the picture, but I'm not sure I'm going to keep it . . . have to think it out – it may end up in my etsy shop.

Big surprise :)
I hope that you had a great weekend! Mine was busy as usual, and good family time too.
We set up our tree during the week, my skirt looks just right under it! Yes, we have a fake tree. . . while living in Southern California, we were in campus housing (Joe was working on his MA), and for insurance purposes no real trees were allowed – so we went to the local walmart/kmart (I don't remember which) and got a little tree, for our little apartment, and still use it every year!

After four years of hard work, practice and concentration, three boys from the Port Elgin area have earned their junior black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
MacKenzie Campbell, 11, and Tomas Campbell and Sam Alward, both 10, first began studying Tae Kwon Do under the guidance of Ola LeBlanc in 2006.
After four years of hard work, practice and concentration, three boys from the Port Elgin area have earned their junior black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
MacKenzie Campbell, 11, and Tomas Campbell and Sam Alward, both 10, first began studying Tae Kwon Do under the guidance of Ola LeBlanc in 2006.
The fifth-degree black belt instructor, who has operated LeBlanc Tae Kwon Do in Cap Pelé, N.B. for 25 years, first began offering instruction classes for youths and adults in Port Elgin in 1993.
Since that time, he has seen many students attain high levels of proficiency in the sport and gone on to successful careers.
"Tae Kwon Do has been around for many years, but has its roots in Seoul, Korea. The physical aspects can be used for self-defence but the sport is much more than that," LeBlanc said last week.
In fact, it teaches both children and adults courage, integrity, respect, confidence, equality and the ability to focus on a task or situation when needed.
"Of course, through practicing they also become very agile and physically fit. That these three boys have already successfully attained many levels of Tae Kwon Do to reach the level of junior black belt is a great achievement. They have all worked hard to reach this level," he said.
He added that only about 10,000 youths outside of Korea and around the world have attained the junior black belt level.
Officiating at the recent competition was Master Allie Vaughan, a seventh-degree black belt and president of Tae Kwon Do New Brunswick, and LeBlanc's own instructor.
"Yes, I'm still learning. There is always more to learn," he admitted.
During last week's competition, the three boys were required to successfully complete a number of stances and skills.
These moves and skills can vary somewhat from club to club, but the basic training theories remain the same, he said.
"There are sublte changes, for sure, but all clubs in the province are overseen by our governing body so what we're teaching is very much the same," LeBlanc said.
The three boys are proud of their accomplishments and all agreed they have learned much from practicing Tae Kwon Do.
"It's not for just going out on the street and starting fighting with someone. It's for self-defence; if someone is fighting against you, you can defend yourself. But it's also for teaching respect and to learn how to focus and concentrate on what you're doing," MacKenzie Campbell said.
He explained that to reach the high level of concentration and discipline needed to be successful practicing Tae Kwon Do, each person must put aside all outside thoughts and focus as if you're the only person in that place.
"If you're in a fight and you're not focused and you're not watching the other fighter, he can kick you and win the match," he said.
All three said they would keep practicing and learning Tae Kwon Do with Master LeBlanc.
"We can go for our black belt when we're 16; not just the junior but the full black belt. That would be great," MacKenzie admitted.

Peterson starts early on farm billAgriculture is one of the first major program areas to cut the federal deficit, says U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson.
Agriculture is one of the first major program areas to cut the federal deficit, says U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson.
Peterson, chairman of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, proposes in the 2012 Farm Bill to end direct payments to farmers and even out other farm programs that pay farmers on production rather than land ownership.
Also in the works is a plan to change crop insurance premium reimbursements to return money to the U.S. Treasury for deficit reduction.
"We had a good farm bill, we fixed a lot of problems," Peterson, DFL-7th District, said of the 2008 Farm Bill in a wide-ranging interview Thursday while he was in Bemidji to attend Bemidji Regional Airport groundbreaking for its Aircraft Rescue and Firefighter Facility.
"Now the issue is making this all work in 2012 within the baseline," he said. "We're not going to spend any more money. I'm not going to go ask anybody for money, I'm going to stay within, which is what I believe we should be doing in all of government."
Peterson has held 10 field hearings on the upcoming 2012 Farm Bill, the latest Wednesday near Casselton, N.D., with Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D.
"We've got just about every area of government, somebody's trying to increase spending in these programs," Peterson said. "I think that's wrong. With the deficit we have, we shouldn't have any new money in any programs.
"We should be living with what we got, or looking for it from someplace else," he added, admitting that his philosophy is tied to that of the Blue Dog Democrats, a coalition of conservative Democrats that push for deficit reduction.
The Blue Dogs also spearheaded efforts for PAYGO, the policy where any new spending must be accompanied by like cuts in spending elsewhere.
"In the commodity title, the most important thing is crop insurance," he said. "It will be good, even though we're making changes."
The first fix, he said, is in the subsidies given insurance companies and growers for crop insurance. Historically, insurance companies have been given reimbursements based on a percentage of the premiums, similarly to the way property and casualty insurance works.
"Crop insurance has some different elements, one of them is that companies are required to sell a policy that is dictated by the Risk Management Agency," the Detroit Lakes Democrat said. "So there is no difference between policies. They all have to sell the same thing."
That also means there is no competition because the government dictates the conditions.
"In 2007 and '08 we had the best prices we've had in a long time," Peterson said. "People had switched to revenue coverage from multi-peril (coverage), which gives them coverage not only on losing the crop but also gives them protection on price."
As a result, the price of polices doubled and tripled, he said, because companies were insuring against the price as the companies had more exposure to risk. The 2008 Farm Bill cut the percentage of reimbursement, but agents were still paid twice as much as they were in 2006.
"Rather than have us go in there and arbitrarily set some new percentage, we required the Risk Management Agency to do a new SRA (Standard Reinsurance Agreement), which is something that is done every five years," Peterson said. The agreement is negotiated with insurance companies.
The agreement hammered out n May is one that the companies didn't like, he said, adding there have been two revisions since. The new SRA should be signed by the companies in the next two weeks.
"The deal that they have put together will require that they take $6 billion out of the reimbursement for agents over the next 10 years – $600 million a year."
That will be in addition to the $5 billion taken out of the farm bill with percentage changes, he said.
"We recognized that there was a problem, and we set up an orderly way and it's being fixed," Peterson said. "The crop insurance agents are still opposed to this … Some of the companies I'm supporting because they've done the right thing."
Geographic fixes were also made, he said, as agents in the most Midwest states were being overpaid and agents in risk areas such as North Dakota, Kansas and Texas were being underpaid.
Of the $6 billion, $2 billion will be used to fix problems in the Conservation Reserve Program and $4 billion will go to the Office of Management and Budget for deficit reduction.
"We're the first area in government — the only area in government, the only program — that has actually reduced the deficit," Peterson said. "As part of our baseline, $4 billion is a pretty good hit. But I support that, because I'm one that thinks we need to start paying down the deficit."
Congress needs to go into its programs and find places to save, he said. "We've done it, nobody else has done it. This actually puts us in a strong position for the next farm bill because we have stepped up to the plate."
Taking the percentage cut of the changes in the farm bill and applying it government-wide in all discretionary spending and mandatory programs such as Social Security and Medicaid would yield deficit reduction of $2.3 trillion, he said.
"My challenge to people is, OK we stepped up, we just made our job harder to do a farm bill, but we did the right thing," he said, "and I'll guarantee you that every one of these government programs can find the kind of savings that we found. There is no government program that doesn't have excesses."
Peterson said he is willing to look for savings in the commodity, conservation and nutrition titles of the farm bill, "because my staff and I believe that we can make those kind of reductions and not hurt the programs."
Those cuts could reach another $10 billion over 10 years of a $263 billion five-year farm bill.
Direct payments were set up in 1996 and were supposed to go away but have been continued and created horror stories. They are given to farm landowners regardless of income. As a result, stories of NBA athletes collecting farm subsidies abound, as well as other celebrities who never farmed.
A new program has a lot of potential but also has a lot of problems that can be fixed by using the direct payments for it instead of doling out to landowners, he said. The program, ACRE, for Average Crop Revenue Enhancement, has some overlap with the permanent disaster program and with crop insurance.
"We need to take that out, we don't need that overlap," he said. "I believe there is some savings to be had in coordinating all that better… and we'll end up with a better safety net at the end of the day."
Direct payments are $5.2 billion a year "that are given to farmers whether they need it or not," he said."When they were making a lot of money, we were making payments, and it caused us trouble."
But dropping them will be controversial. "The Southerners are addicted to these things," Peterson said.
Peterson said he heard from farmers in North Dakota this week that the direct payment money can be used to improve ACRE, crop insurance and permanent disaster funding. Crop insurance could be extended to crops not currently covered — fruits and vegetables, nurseries — and to livestock.
"The idea is having crop insurance that covers all of agriculture, not just the big crops like corn and soybeans," the Democrat said. "It makes sense to take that direct payment money and redirecting it to a better safety net that follows the need, not just paying people because they own land."
Removing direct payments would also make it easier for farmers actually producing the food to enroll in ACRE and other safety net programs, he said.
"We're starting early to get this process, to have people look at what we're doing and tell us if there is a better way to do it," Peterson said. "It's paying people that don't need to be paid and there are other people who need help who aren't get it."
Getting rid of direct payments will also allow the growing of fruits and vegetables, which is now prohibited in order to receive the payments, he said. Such crops are gaining in Minnesota, especially southern Minnesota.
"We're running out of land to grow the specialty crops because of this prohibition under direct payments," he said. "I've kind of stuck my neck out because this is somewhat controversial and the Republicans are beating me up a little bit about this, but I really think that it's the time to look at this."
Peterson said he was criticized for opening 2012 Farm Bill talks now, but since then Republicans have come on board and hearings have begun in the Senate as well.
He estimates that the House Agriculture Committee will begin next summer to publicly start putting together the 2012 Farm Bill.

Monday was the last day applications were accepted for Starkville School District's vacant superintendent position, but now the real search begins.
The Mississippi School Board Association now has the task of working through all the applicants to check references and interview candidates. According to Executive Director Michael Waldrop, MSBA will then compile a report for the school board to review and determine who it would like to interview.
Though MSBA has not contacted the school board about the information pertaining to the search thus far — such as the final number of applicants — board President Keith Coble said he believes school board members will know something soon.
"It's my hope that we'll know something by next week's meeting," he said. "We hope we're getting a good pool (of applicants), and I'm anticipating knowing something soon."
Back in August, a representative from MSBA held three hearings for teachers, staff and community stakeholders on what qualities they would like to see in a new superintendent. All three groups expressed a desire for someone who is a good communicator, who would live in the district and be an active member of the community.
The feedback from the employees and public was complied into a report for the school board. The board then finalized the criteria and compiled it into a finalized list for advertisement.
The board decided it was looking for a candidate with a doctoral degree from an accredited college or university with at least six years of combined experience as a public school teacher and an administrator.
The candidate should also have a successful data-driven teaching and administrative experience in schools and communities with diverse populations and have experience with budget preparation and fiscal management, but also understand curriculum issues, including special education, vocational and technical trends, and know how to use technology to reach a broad range of student needs.
Keeping in line with the wishes of the public, the board asked that the candidate understand the value of community involvement and maintain high visibility within the schools and community. The candidate should also be open to working with stakeholders to develop both short-term and long-range goals and objectives.
The position was advertised through the American Association of School Administrators, the National Alliance of Black School Educators and Education Week, a national publication that covers K-12 education, from Sept. 12 through Oct. 31. The advertising included a 30-day, online job posting and additional job-of-the-week style options to increase the advertisements' exposure.
Although several other cities in the region have been searching for superintendents at the same time as SSD, Waldrop said he did not believe it would have an effect on either the quantity or quality of applicants the district would receive.
The school board will likely give a report on the search results during its regular meeting on Nov. 9
