Jessica Kelly's curator insight, March 24, 6:59 PM
What's pareidolia, and why does it matter in terms of brand storytelling/framing? If you don't know, you will as soon as you read this very interesting, informative, useful (and several other positive adjectives) post. Bonus: As the title indicates, you'll also read about three storytelling categories--reinforcer, supporter, and challenger. Yep, it's a good post.
Karen Dietz's curator insight, March 26, 3:35 PM
Do you know what pareidolia is? Do you know about framing and how it connects to pareidolia? Do you know the 3 types of brand messages to use?
If you answered "no" to any one of these, you are going to want to read this article. Written by branding professional Laura Petrolino, she takes us deeper into successful brand storytelling.
Understanding what pareidolia is and it's link to storytelling is crucial. From there you can to better framing, and then move on to improved messaging.
Dig into this article if you want better brand storytelling for your business. The only thing I wish the author had done for us is give us a few brand storytelling examples. Hopefully next time. That being said, the information here could still make a world of difference for you.

Anyone know a good minigolf place near Disneyland?

Anyone know a good minigolf place near Disneyland?
Or at least in driving-distance?
Thanx in A.
well whenever we drive from Phoenix going west on the 91... off the 91 freeway before you hit the 57 theres a place with a waterslide, a castle, and mini golf tucked in an industrial area... Although not having been in Cali in over 6 years, I can only back up that one since we see it on the freeway. Oh and in Riverside which is a bit of a drive there is Castle Park which also has a few rides along with a fun log ride and S&S tower ride there... so theres mini golf and a log ride... lol!
Does anyone know if Golf N stuff in Norwalk is still alive, or that family fun center in fountain valley? I cant back those up but as a kid I remember them being not too far from the DLR area... though Norwalk is not the greatest of areas if i remember correctly.
Tama is correct. The one off the 91 is called Camelot and it's off the Kraemer/Glassell exit. Probably 7 miles away from Disneyland. Pretty good courses but I haven't played them in a long time.
Camelot minigolf is an EXCELLENT course. It has 5 courses ranging from easy to hard. It's meticulously maintained and is loads f fun. They also offer laser tag and tons of arcade games in addition to the waterslides which are open easonally from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It was rated one of the top ten minigolf courses in the country and the best family minigolf course in the country by Travel Channel.
Golf 'N Stuff is still alive in Norwalk.
On a totally unrelated, random note, Avril LaVigne filmed a video there recently.

Burn pits are open-air areas where the US military burned water bottles and plastic-foam cups, as well as human and medical waste. The VA has set up a registry for troops to detail their concerns.
Some 2,000 combat vets surveyed by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America reported 'the crisis with suicide' as their number one concern.
Despite the collapse of Iraqi defenses in June, there are still 'extremely capable' units in Iraq that the US 'should not write off,' a top State Department official tells Congress.
Former Procter & Gamble CEO Robert McDonald says he aims to use his experience digitizing that company to help the embattled VA free up people to take better care of veterans.
Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Pitts was awarded America's most revered military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his remarkable valor in one of the bloodiest battles of the 13-year war in Afghanistan.
Hamas this week showed it has drones at its disposal, forcing Israel to use a Patriot missile to shoot down one that had entered its airspace. Its drones are low-tech, but they have the attention of US defense analysts.
Some defense experts say it's likely Russia has provided Ukrainian rebels with surface-to-air weapons capable of taking down the Malaysian passenger plane. Pentagon officials say they cannot confirm that.
Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top US commander in Afghanistan, tells senators he is 'not confident' the Afghan security forces will be able to sustain themselves after US troops leave.
Underwater drones have scientific and civilian uses, like the search for the missing Malaysia Airline Flight 370. Militaries, too, see them as an increasingly useful tool.
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who is under investigation for the circumstances surrounding his capture by the Taliban, has reached out to Eugene Fidell, a full-time lecturer on military justice at Yale Law School.
Michelle Howard has set many firsts during her 32-year career and was involved with the famous operation to free the crew of the Maersk Alabama from Somali pirates.
President Obama is expected to name Bob McDonald Monday as the new head of the troubled Department of Veterans Affairs. McDonald has a military background, but it is his experience as a corporate CEO that likely will prove most useful.
The latest in a series of investigations into scandal at the US Department of Veterans Affairs finds "significant" failures and a culture leading to long wait times for treatment.
A task force of former top Pentagon officials concludes that US 'heavy reliance' on targeted killings for counterterrorism 'risks increasing instability and escalating conflicts.'
The Pentagon has not yet begun its investigation into the circumstances that led to the capture of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. But the Pentagon explained what it will be looking into and how that could affect the sergeant.
Some in Congress are alarmed by reports of Iraqi forces throwing down their weapons and fleeing in the face of insurgents. They are asking the Pentagon if the same could happen after US troops leave Afghanistan.
President Obama's decision to order 300 military advisers to Iraq in the face of an Islamist insurgency revives the debate over whether he pulled out US combat forces too soon.
Retired Lance Cpl. William Kyle Carpenter threw his body on a grenade in an effort to save the life of a fellow Marine. On Thursday, President Obama bestowed the Medal of Honor upon him.
There's pressure for US air strikes in Iraq. But some current and former US military commanders, including Gen. David Petraeus, are making a case for doing nothing.
President Obama has few options as Iraq insurgents move toward Baghdad. Air strikes are one possibility. But their effectiveness might be limited without boots on the ground.

Thursday night college football for week 11 features a conference USA matchup between the undefeated Houston Cougars and the Tulane Green Wave.
FREE PICKS: For the latest free picks on current games, check out Bookie Blitz for daily updates!
The college football point-spread in this game opened up with Houston as 33 point favorites, which does not come as a surprise to anyone. As expected 84% of the public money is flowing in on Houston and the line has already hit 34 points at several sportsbooks. Don't be surprised if this number jumps 35 before the prime time kickoff.
Senior quarterback Case Keenum leads Houston and is one of the best quarterbacks in the country and he always puts up huge numbers when he takes the football field. Senior wide receiver Tyron Carrier is just one of the many talented weapons that Keenum employs in any given game. Now they face a Tulane team that they have dominated in the past.
In fact the Cougars are 4-0 against the spread in the last four games at Tulane, and 8-0 ATS in the last eight games overall. This kind of past success could actually hurt Houston in this game. Houston could be looking right pas this game as a "gimme" on the schedule.
Tulane started moving the ball in the second half of the last game, and although they lost that game, they will carry some momentum at home. They will be hosting an undefeated team on television and the fans will be out in droves to support the Green Wave.
The Cougars have had some close games on the road, and this may be another one. The problem with backing a 34 point underdog is that they are a bad team. There is no doubt that Tulane has some issues, but this is a good spot to back them and they will keep this game close.
Thursday College Football Pick : Tulane Green Wave +34
College Football Week 11 Picks and Predictions:

hi gersith,
welcome to CA!
the piece looks nice.
we also have a photography sub-forum here that you may be interested in.
i enjoy the piece,
but for some reason i assumed the man was a milatary troop.
maybe something about the hat.
the military connotation changed the idea of the piece for me.
it wasnt until much scrutiny that i realized is was just some guy in a baseball cap.
maybe im just a dope though, does anyone else see "military?"

i LOVE it. It gives me the kind of twisted feel i always want to have i my pics. Your choice of colours couldn't have been better. I'd really like to see more of this.

Beef Fillet With Mushroom Sauce
3 Feb 2009
|6 Tablespoon
|Beef fillet
|10 Pound
|Ground pepper
|To Taste
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a shallow roasting pan. When it is just melted, turn the fillet in it until the meat is coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 25 to 35 minutes for rare beef, or until desired doneness, basting frequently. Transfer the meat to a large serving dish; keep warm. Pour off most of the fat from the pan, and pour in the Mushroom Sauce (recipe below). Stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan. Swirl in the remaining two tablespoons butter. Slice the fillet (slice only the amount to be served immediately, and leave the rest of the fillet whole to be sliced later). Spoon the sauce over the beef or spoon part of it over the beef and serve the rest in a sauceboat.

Watching Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson accept their Grammys -- Underwood for best country solo performance and Clarkson for best pop vocal album -- was totally fine, except for the annoying shots of "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson beaming with pride from the audience. We're afraid he got the wrong message. Sorry, Randy, just because Carrie and Kelly are stars\ doesn't mean you, or "Idol," are actually relevant to the music industry.

Neither foreign military or diplomatic intervention will solve this conflict it has to be an internal solution and they need to be allowed to kill each other until the time comes when all sides decide they have had enough killing and destruction of their country then they will call for a ceasefire and negotiate a solution between them. The international community might be able to pressure them all into doing a deal now but its not going to solve the problem it will be more like a ceasefire and its most likely to t some point the fighting will erupt again so just leave them to it.

5 All-New, All-Different Marvel Titles We're Most Excited to Read
Comic Books
Creators | Isabel Greenberg has announced she's working on a "sort-of" sequel to The Encyclopedia of Early Earth, her British Comic Award-winning debut graphic novel. She also posted her new comic Dreadful Wind and Rain, which is being published as a limited edition by Gosh! Comics, and will be included in her follow-up to Early Earth. [Isabel Greenberg, via Digital Spy]
Manga | Yen Press associate editor and letterer Abigail Blackman talks about her job: "I see that the editor has a twofold obligation – to the original creator and to the reader. I think everyone in the process has to be most careful of not imposing his or her own sensibilities onto the material. I and Yen feel very strongly about preserving the meaning and intent of the original and making sure it translates clearly to the reader. It's so easy for a rewriter to get carried away with his or her own voice, or for a letterer to get too cutesy with the fonts and placing emphasis." [Organization Anti-Social Geniuses]
Modesty Blaise, the tough young adventuress with a criminal past, is the creation of writer Peter O'Donnell and artist Jim Holdaway, but before Holdaway came on board the gig originally went to Frank Hampson, creator of British space hero Dan Dare. According to the Hampson website, he turned in his pages weeks late with no reason for the delay, and O'Donnell wasn't at all happy with them. O'Donnell said that Hampson "totally misunderstood the character."
As you can see from the samples (that's Hampson's above and you can see Holdaway's version of the same panels below; there are many more comparisons on the Hampson site), Hampson's version of Modesty Blaise was softer and prettier than what Holdaway eventually created. While her appearance could have made an interesting contrast with the way she talked and her ruthless character, O'Donnell wanted her to look as tough as she was. He recommended Holdaway, with whom he'd collaborated on Romeo Brown, and the rest is history. Continue Reading »
Britain's Royal Mail is releasing a set of 10 stamps today featuring a diverse group of comics characters from British comics. They're available to those outside the U.K. as well and feature internationally famous characters like Judge Dredd and Dan Dare in addition to less-known folks like Roy Race and The Four Marys. There's also a Dennis the Menace in the set (he's the one appearing in front of the Beano comic), but don't confuse him with the U.S. character created by Hank Ketcham. Though both characters debuted within a week of each other in March 1951, they're different boys.
To see the full gallery of stamps, visit the BBC website.
The second day of Comic-Con International, which began with the official word of Warner Bros.' Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters video game, concluded with the presentation of the 22nd annual Eisner Awards and news of a feature-film adaptation of Will Eisner's landmark graphic novel A Contract with God.
In between, there were plenty of other comics announcements:
• During DC's "Batman: The Return" panel, Grant Morrison revealed he and artist Yanick Paquette will launch Batman, Inc., an ongoing series that will see Bruce Wayne joined by a number of other characters wearing the mantle of the Bat. CBR TV spoke with DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio about the new title.
• In the "DC Nation Special Edition" panel, Geoff Johns revealed plans for a second ongoing Flash series titled Flash: Speed Force, which will focus on the other speedsters of the DC Universe. DiDio also said the publisher will begin reprinting Young Justice material in October.
• Top Shelf unveiled plans to publish Jeffrey Brown's Incredible Change-Bots Two, five new graphic novels for kids (plus new volumes of Korgi and Owly), Kagan McLeod's Infinite Kung Fu, and Jess Fink's Chester 5000 XYV collection. The publisher also previewed a page from Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century #2 — 1969.

2007 NU Depth Chart
2006 CFN Northwestern
Northwestern can be forgiven if it took a major step back
production-wise last year finishing 4-8. It was supposed to be a
rebuilding year, but the tragic death of head coach Randy Walker,
the subsequent thrown-to-the-fire situation for young head man Pat
Fitzgerald, and the all the weekly tributes to Walker, made it an
impossible season to get through. Now things should be better.
Fitzgerald and his team got better as the year went on finishing up
with a strong second half with expected losses to Ohio State and
Michigan, a heart-breaker to Michigan State thanks to an all-timer
of a comeback, and wins over Iowa and Illinois to suggest the team
is pointed in the right direction. The experience is there with most
of the key returning players back, but more importantly, in the
coaching staff.
2007 Schedule
CFN Prediction: 6-6

Prediction: 4-8
2006 Record:
2006 predicted wins
said all the right things from the day he took over the job and refused
to make any excuses; he truly expects Northwestern to be in the hunt for
the Big Ten title every year. This team isn't going to be that good, but
it has the schedule to make six wins a must, and seven wins likely if
everyone learns from the mistakes of last year.
Star running back Tyrell Sutton won't be forgotten about, C.J. Bacher
will be more consistent under center, and there won't be the
deer-in-the-headlights look the team had far too often, far too early in
too many games last year. Last year was just bad enough to allow
Northwestern to fly under the radar again, just like the program wants
2008 should be the big year. Northwestern traditionally rocks when it
has a senior-laden team led by a long-time veteran under center, and it
wouldn't hurt to get a few new playmakers in the linebacking corps who'd
like to be the next Fitzgerald. The pieces are there to succeed.
Fitzgerald has to show he can make them all fit.
What to watch for on offense:
It took an entire year to finally settle on a
quarterback to properly run the spread offense, and even then, the best
producer turned out to be the one who was the worst fit. Mike Kafka is
the type of runner who can crank out big plays in the one-back spread,
but Bacher became the far better passer. Sutton will handle the rushing
workload, Bacher will be more effective, and the offense will finally
start to score.
What to watch for on defense: The defense struggled mightily
against the better offensive lines, and it'll have to take a few more
chances to generate more pressure in the backfield. It's been years
since Northwestern hit the quarterback on a consistent basis, and now it
finally has a big, experienced front four that should be able to blow
things up.
The team will be far better if … it does all the little things
right. While the team will be improved on both sides of the ball, it's
not good enough to win if it's turning the ball over, struggling in the
punting game, getting nothing out of the returns, and not moving the
chains on third downs. The coaching staff should be able to work a
little more on the finer points.
The Schedule:
It's almost
as good as could be asked for. The Wildcats gets Ohio State and Michigan
out of the way right off the bat in Big Ten play, don't play Wisconsin
or Penn State, and after the road trip to Columbus, only has to go away
from Evanston four times to play Michigan State, Eastern Michigan,
Purdue and Illinois. The non-conference schedule is a joke playing
Northeastern, Nevada (the one decent matchup), and Duke along with
Eastern Michigan.
Best Offensive Player: Junior RB Tyrell Sutton. A lack of support from the
offensive line and passing game resulted in a sophomore slump, but
Sutton remains Northwestern's most menacing weapon and a strong
candidate for a tremendous 2007. He's a surprisingly physical jitterbug
with soft hands who'll often use his diminutive frame as an asset by
getting lost behind his blockers.
Best Defensive Player: Sophomore DE Corey Wootton. The sky's the
limit for Wootton, who has the imposing size and wingspan to be one of
the best pass rushers to ever play in Evanston. At 6-7 and 275 pounds,
he can simply overpower many tackles, but it's his footwork, change of
direction and overall athletic ability, which has Northwestern coaches
suggesting they've got a cornerstone defender for the next three
Key player to a
successful season:
Junior QB C.J. Bacher.
The quarterback situation was an ongoing issue throughout last season
trying to find the right triggerman to replace Brett Basanez. After
finally getting healthy after a leg injury, Bacher finally got his shot
in the second half of the year and threw for more than 200 yards in the
final five games of the year. While he's not the runner that most
Wildcat quarterbacks would preferably be, he has the size and the
passing touch to make the passing game far more efficient.
The season will be a
success if
... the Wildcats go bowling. The schedule is favorable, the offense is
experience, and Fitzgerald and the coaching staff knows what it's doing
now. There's no reason they can't win at least five of their home games,
beat Eastern Michigan in Detroit, and finish off with a win at Illinois.
Key game:
Nov. 17 at Illinois.
Each team might be battling for a bowl in the regular season finale.
Northwestern has won four in a row in the series, but this should be the
toughest test in years with the young Illini certain to be better at the
end of November than they will be at the beginning.

in grant money to convert a historic swing bridge into a 670-foot public pier

they're getting ready to seek contractors to do the work, city officials say
they're expecting that bids could come in 20 to 40 percent lower than
anticipated by engineers -- thanks in part to highly competitive bidding during
tough economic times.

Noam Shalit: The fact that Carter isn't pro-Israel may be beneficial
Peres tells ex-U.S. leader he has hurt peace process; Carter shunned by other officials over planned meet with Hamas.
Noam Shalit, the father of Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit who was captured by Hamas in June 2006, said Sunday after meeting with former U.S. president Jimmy Carter that the fact that Carter is not considered pro-Israel could be beneficial in securing his son's release.
"This could help him reach certain people and raise certain ideas that may be received with suspicion coming from someone more pro-Israel," Shalit said after the Jerusalem meeting, Army Radio reported.
Rumors had been circulating over recent weeks that Carter was planning to meet with Damascus-based Hamas political leader Khaled Meshal as he travels to Syria later in the week.
Shalit met with the former president in hopes that the latter may be able to help secure the captive soldier's freedom, perhaps at his meeting with Hamas leaders.
Shalit described the meeting as positive, and told Haaretz he asked Carter to help advance the deal to release his son. However, Shalit provided no further details on the matter and would not say whether he asked the former president to pass on a message to Meshal.
Carter, broker of the first Israeli-Arab peace treaty, arrived in Israel Sunday on a peace mission to the region only to receive a cool reception: Israeli leaders are shunning him for accusing Israel of apartheid and for planning to meet with the head of the violently anti-Israel Hamas group.
A schedule released by the U.S.-based Carter Center showed no plans for the former president to meet Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni or Defense Minister Ehud Barak during this week's visit in Israel.
"Scheduling problems" was the official reason given, a senior Israeli official said - even though Olmert recently took time from his busy schedule to chat with Wentworth Miller of the U.S. TV drama, Prison Break. Olmert's office declined comment.
What is really behind the cold shoulder is Carter's plan to meet with Khaled Meshal, the Israeli official said. "Israeli leaders are not publicly criticizing Carter out of respect for his former position as U.S. president," he added.
In remarks to air Sunday on ABC News' "This Week" Carter said that his upcoming visit to the Middle East will probably include a meeting in Syria with leaders of the militant group Hamas.
"I've not confirmed our itinerary yet for the Syrian visit, but it's likely that I will be meeting with the Hamas leaders," Carter said, bolstering the rumors that he was planning to meet Meshal.
Ahead of his arrival in Israel, Carter said he feels quite at ease about meeting Hamas militants.
"I think there's no doubt in anyone's mind that if Israel is ever going to find peace with justice concerning the relationship with their next-door neighbors, the Palestinians, that Hamas will have to be included in the process," Carter said.
Hamas is sworn to Israel's destruction and has carried out dozens of suicide bombings that have killed more than 250 Israelis. Israel has no contacts with the Islamic militant group, whose violent takeover of the Gaza Strip in June has undercut newly revived efforts by Israel and the Palestinians to strike a final peace deal.
Peres tells Carter he has damaged peace process
The most prominent Israeli to meet with Carter during his visit was President Shimon Peres, Israel's ceremonial head of state, and a Nobel peace laureate for his role in the historic 1993 accord between Israel and the Palestinians.
Sources at the President's residence reported that during their meeting, Peres sharply rebuked Carter over his last book, in which he called Israel an apartheid state.
Peres told Carter that despite the former president's many achievements in advancing peace during the Camp David era, his activity in recent years has caused grave damage to Israel and to the peace process.
The meeting between the two men was low-key and representatives from the media were not invited to document the event.
Carter also met with the parents of abducted soldier Gilad Shalit, who were planning to give him a message to pass on to Hamas.
Carter was also scheduled to meet with several Israeli lawmakers, and was planning to visit Sderot, the southern Israeli town most frequently targeted by Gaza rocket squads.
Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his work in mediating conflicts, while president and under the auspices of The Carter Center. In 1978, he brokered the landmark accord between Egypt and Israel, for which Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Menachem Begin were awarded that year's Nobel Peace Prize.
But the goodwill Carter earned here through that agreement was all but swept away two years ago with the publication of his controversial book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" which equates the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories with the racial segregation and oppression that once reigned in South Africa.
Jewish groups and some fellow Democrats strongly objected to the book and more than a dozen members of the Carter Center's advisory board resigned in protest.
In a later afterword to his book, Carter criticized the lack of balanced debate in the United States about the Middle East and warned officials against being seen as knee-jerk supporters of every action or policy of the Israeli government.
"For the past two to three years, Carter has embarked upon a crusade of hate against Israel," Uzi Arad, an adviser to parliamentary opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, told Israel Radio.
"There is no doubt that Jimmy Carter as a former president should be greeted as a matter of protocol, but it does not mean that the prime minister, the foreign minister and certainly the opposition leader have to meet him," Arad said.
In addition to Israel, Carter is scheduled to visit the West Bank, Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Carter will not be visiting Hamas-ruled Gaza.
A Carter-Meshal meeting would be the first public contact between a prominent American figure and Hamas officials since The Rev. Jesse Jackson met with Mashaal in Syria in 2006.
The U.S. lists Hamas as a terrorist organization, and on Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice criticized Carter for his reported plans to meet with Meshal.
"I find it hard to understand what is going to be gained by having discussions with Hamas about peace when Hamas is, in fact, the impediment to peace," Rice said.
The State Department says it twice advised Carter against meeting any Hamas representative.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool. Shakespeare
I am avid about everything I do. I am an artist, I love beauty. I love scenic views, mainly mountains and vast bodies of water. I am a finance student at CSU so my time is often hectic; I have very few hours of leisure. I have approximately a year left to attain the degree. I am a lover of knowledge and excellence. My friends would say I'm meticulous, intelligent, and kind. I've heard I often over analyze scenarios, perhaps a philosopher at heart, maybe in the next life. I love the gym, working out is my favorite pastime. I also love sports. I love metaphysics, I am very interested in the spiritual realm. I also love math. Some of my favorite musical pieces include: Moonlight Sonata, Ludwig Van Beethoven; Requiem, Wolfgang Amadeus; The Four Seasons, Vivaldi; Half the Man I Used To Be and Come as You Are, Nirvana. I love anything Jay Z does and I love Simply Red, Coldplay, Sade, Cassandra Wilson and Andre 3000. I don't have a grand social life. I have 4 or 5 good friends that I can count on and that can count on me. This works wonderfully for me. Im a believer that it's not about how many people you know but who you know. I like to go out occasionally maybe for a meal or a glass of wine at a venue with great atmosphere. For me thats something dim, quiet, and cozy. I'm a romantic. I would like to take this journey into the unknown with a woman that is selfless, kind, ambitious, candid, spiritual, health conscious, educated, and passionate about all of her endeavors. I would love to love someone who honestly loves me back.

Product Details
New Perspectives on Liberal Peacebuilding
Release Date: December, 2009
Sales Number: 09.III.A.16
404 page(s), 6x9.5
Binding: Paperback
Publisher: United Nations University
Out of Print
Peacebuilding in conflict-prone or post-conflict countries — such as East Timor, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone — aims to prevent the re-emergence or escalation of violent conflict and establish a durable peace. This volume explores and critiques the 'liberal' premise of contemporary peacebuilding: the promotion of democracy, market-based economic reforms and a range of other institutions associated with 'modern' states as a driving force for building peace. Whilst focusing mainly upon cases of major UN peacebuilding, it also considers the implications and record of liberal peacebuilding through a wider range of experiences. It goes beyond the narrow focus on democracy and market economics by interrogating a wider area of peacebuilding activities, including the (re)construction of state institutions.

Re: Vanguard: FFA PvP Server
I don't think an Octocore could run the Hathor Zhi crafting hall at 20+fps.
That stuff is pretty complicated, though.. seems to use lots of calculations when you're crafting stuff, so maybe it is hitting the cpu pretty hard with all those characters creating items at once.
Then again, even outside the crafting halls, in the main camp on the hill, it slows down around 25fps on my setup. I just think there's a lot of optimization issues with some CPU-tasks like upgrading armor, weapons, etc.
But still, I'm addicted to it like a crack wh*re and I go back to my pipe every night.

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
After being pressed and berated by more than 50 citizens for two hours Friday in the final hearing on a proposed 9-percent property tax increase, Commissioner Rob Jones agreed to give the budget one more look before making it official. Above, Commissioner Rob Jones presents finer points of the budget to a crowded meeting last Friday.
Jones told the crowded mid-morning gathering of citizens angry over the higher tax rate that there is little left to cut, "but we'll go back and see what we can do."
The citizens in attendance had a lot to say, including calling for a 20 percent cut in all county department spending. See the rest of the this story in our print and e-edition now on sale.

In a sudden move, Jasper City Hall announced Thursday that the portion of the Jasper City Park containing the duck pond and walking trail would be closed for urgent repairs beginning later today (Friday, Aug. 25).
The repairs could take a month, according to a statement sent from city hall. The sports fields adjacent to the duck pond in the park will not be closed.
Jasper Mayor John Weaver said he went by the park earlier Thursday and started looking at everything that was broken, rotten, overgrown or just trampled following a summer of heavy use and realized they needed to take action immediately.
Heavy equipment will be needed around the walking paths and there is no way the work can be handled with people coming through he said.
Weaver noted that of prime concern are spindles holding up the handrails around the pond that are rotten and a safety concern.
The park, which includes a walking path, tennis courts, two playground areas and picnic areas sees heavy summer use all day, walkers using the mostly level paved path, while the picnic tables with nearby grills get regular weekend gatherings. The park also contains the best playgrounds in the county.
Weaver said the park is really pushed beyond its capacity with the number of users. He said when he started developing a work list he kept finding items that were in urgent need of attention, which prompted the immediate closing.
There are overgrown trees, the rotten spindles, the lake is leaking through a drain, we are going to need some heavy equipment to do the work "and I won't even tell you about the sand in the playground."

The Rev. Ben Mock alongside North Main Street in front of Mt. Zion Church. Members of the church are seeking a stop sign and lower speed limit along the route.
Members of Mt. Zion Baptist Church on North Main Street are seeking measures to slow traffic along that route, following a fatal crash in front of their church last month.
The 400 member church has created a petition asking for a lower speed limit on the stretch of road from downtown Jasper to the intersection with Philadelphia Road. They are also requesting a stop sign at the intersection of Old Philadelphia Road and North Main.
The July 2 wreck that killed Kimberley Godfrey of Talking Rock did not involve church members, but is the latest of several serious wrecks in that section of road. The Rev. Ben Mock said it is difficult to get information on the total number of wrecks there, but he found seven listed on a 911 report, and church members remember others that involved serious injuries.
One of the other wrecks left a victim with permanent brain damage; another involved the nephew of a church member.
"The primary culprit is speed," Mock said. "People coming out of Jasper come around that curve [where Old Philadelphia Road intersects] and they start picking up speed."

Pamela Anderson is no stranger to stripping off clothes, but her latest PETA ad has been banned because it's simply too hot for air.
In the video Pam prepares unsuspecting travelers for takeoff in PETA's "Cruelty Doesn't Fly" campaign by stripping passengers of fur, leather, and all animal skins!
The ad was due to be shown at New York City's three airports - but bosses pulled the plug over fears the racy film will offend passengers with young children.
PageSix reports a rep for CNN Airport Network wrote to PETA bosses to explain the commercial is "particularly sensitive because children make up part of the demographic in airports."
The quirky commercial, titled "Cruelty Doesn't Fly," also features comedians Steve-O, Andy Dick, and Carol Leifer, a pair of nude models, and German punk icon Nina Hagen. Check out the video yourself and you tell us--is it too racy?

|Post Code
|Cultural Heritage Significance
|Principal Period
of Significance
|1880s (historical) 1888-1910s (fabric)
|Criterion A
|The Birdsville Courthouse survives as an important link with the earliest establishment of pastoral settlement in the Diamantina district of far western Queensland and with Birdsville's pre-Federation role as a border post.
|Criterion B
|The place is rare as one of only three surviving masonry buildings in Birdsville, the others being the c1883 former Royal Hotel and the c1884 Birdsville Hotel. These contribute significantly to the historic character of the town which, in the last quarter of the 20th century, became a major Queensland tourist attraction.
|Criterion D
|The Courthouse is important in illustrating the principal characteristics of a vernacular style of masonry construction that spread throughout central Australia, across South Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland in the late 19th century, efficiently controlling the extremes of temperature in the hot, arid interior of the continent, and compensating for the lack of locally-available timber.
|Criterion E
|The place has aesthetic value, and is important in defining the Birdsville townscape.
|Criterion G
|The Birdsville court house has had a long connection with the people of the surrounding district as the focus for the administration of justice.
|The Birdsville Courthouse was erected between 1888-1890 and is part of a police and judiciary complex which continues in use to the present day, although other buildings on the reserve have been constructed and removed over time. Although European explorers had passed through the Diamantina district in the 1840s and early 1860s, pastoralists did not occupy this semi-arid region until the mid-1870s. Annandale, Pandie Pandie, Glengyle and Roseberth were taken up in 1876; Sandringham, Carcory and Haddon Downs in 1877; and Dubbo Downs in 1878. Monkira, Mt Leonard, Cluny and Coorabulka were other early holdings. In the early 1880s the towns of Birdsville and Bedourie were established to service the newly taken up pastoral holdings. It is thought that a merchant named Matthew Flynn, who carried stores for the stations, built a rough depot in the late 1870s at the site of the present town of Birdsville. The place was then known as the Diamantina Crossing, on the stock route from Boulia south to Adelaide. In 1885, the township was officially surveyed and given the name of Birdsville, reputedly on the suggestion of Robert Frew, owner of Pandie Pandie Station, who also had a store and shop at the Diamantina Crossing, in reference to the profuse bird life of the district. Diamantina Shire was established in 1883, and its headquarters were at Birdsville until moved to Bedourie in 1953 At the time of the town survey, several buildings had been erected including hotels, several stores, blacksmiths and a police lock-up. Almost all the buildings in the town were of local sandstone, there being no local timber available. Distance and the lack of good access roads or a railway created prohibitively high transportation costs, so imported building materials were kept to a minimum. The buildings in the area are also subject to storms and other climatic extremes. Birdsville developed as an administrative centre for police and border customs. It is over 1,000 miles west of Brisbane and 7 miles north of the state border with South Australia, and was one of 14 border posts established before Federation to maintain tariff walls between the colonies. Birdsville was on a major stock route down the Diamantina via Boulia and Bedourie to southern markets and it became an important marshalling point for cattle being driven south to South Australia. Most of the town's trade was with Adelaide, and by 1889 the population of Birdsville was 110, and the town had 2 general stores, 3 hotels, a police station, school, 2 blacksmith shops, 2 bakers, a cordial manufacturer, bootmaker, saddler, auctioneer & commission agent, and a number of residences. The population peaked in 1895 at 220. A court house was constructed by the Queensland Department of Works. Initially the contract was let in 1888 to Henry Walton, for £840. By late 1889 this had been transferred to J Wookey, at the same price, but was in the event completed by Walton by the end of 1890. It was built on the police reserve and was part of a complex including a police station, lockup, tracker's quarters, and horse yards, although camels had also been used for police work in Birdsville since 1886. Climatic conditions in the area are extreme and in 1904 the station building was 'completely wrecked' in a violent storm. A 1928 sketch plan of the site shows the 'ruins of the old police station' on the south west corner of the site. In 1919 the cells built in 1906 were said to be falling apart, but are visible in photographs taken in the 1920s. On 14 February 1954, the cell block, by then no longer in use, was completely demolished by a whirlwind. A new cell and store block was built in 1958 to a similar plan with the addition of a garage to one side and was in use by 1959. In the intervening period prisoners were restrained by handcuffing them to a chain in the yard. In 1972 the lockup was said to be in poor condition. Two years later major repairs and repainting were carried out to the station, residence and lockup. This included adding electric lighting and a shower to the cells to extend their useful life. A new police residence was built in 1980/1, but the old one continued to be used when needed, usually during the annual Birdsville Races. This event has become a major tourist attraction and even in 1982 was drawing crowds of 5000 to the town. Extra police personnel are sent to Birdsville at this time to maintain order and to carry out crowd control duties. As there is only one hotel in the town, the old courthouse/ police station provides accomodation. In December 1985, a severe storm badly damaged the tracker's quarters at the rear of the station. This was a small structure clad in corrugated iron and lost sections of the wall and roof. At the time it was only being used for storage and permission was given for demolition in 1986. A modern police station including cells and quarters was designed in 1987 and opened on 9 August 1988. The lockup survives and in 1995 permission was given to the Solar Terrestrial Environment Laboratory at Nagoya University, Japan, to install scientific recording equipment in it. The court house has changed little in form, although the verandahs have been built in and an extension containing a bathroom and laundry has been constructed on the north west side adjoining the accomodation area.
|The court house is on the eastern side of the reserve and is roughly L shaped in form, combining a court room in one wing and offices/residential accomodation in the other. It is a single storey building, the core of which is constructed of local stone cut in blocks and painted, and which is roofed in corrugated iron. The court room is to the east and is surrounded on three sides by verandahs. The roof is hipped at the eastern end and the roof extends over the verandahs and is supported on posts. The courtroom has a door and two double hung sash windows to each long side and the main entrance is at the eastern end. The interior walls are plastered and the bench is at the rear. To the west of the court room are two rooms sharing a double chimney. These are connected to each other and open onto what was former a verandah, but has now been built in with weatherboard and has casement windows. To the north are rooms used as a bedroom and a kitchen after the detached kitchen was removed. To the western side of the kitchen is an extension containing a toilet, bathroom and laundry. The walls of this are clad in corrugated iron. To the north of the kitchen, the second original verandah has also been built in. The new walls are clad with metal decking on the lower half with glass louvres above. The old lockup is a simple masonry building with a gabled roof clad in corrugated iron. It has two rooms with a screened verandah and a store/garage to one side.

For years this rambling olive grove was slowly disappearing as homes for wealthy citizens were built on its perimeter. The process was halted in the 1960s, in time to save more than 1,500 gnarled olive trees. Some of the trees are more than a century old and still bear fruit. A network of sidewalks, flower beds, fountains, and playgrounds make this 50-acre park a popular spot on weekend afternoons.

The Aggrolites bring some friends with punk flavor
CORPUS CHRISTI - While Sunday's crowd at House of Rock undoubtedly will turn up for the crisp soulful reggae of headliners The Aggrolites, it's a good bet fans who get there early will be buzzing about openers Brothers of Brazil and Peelander Z long after the show.
The Aggrolites, on tour in support of their first live album, "Unleashed Live, Vol. One, will headline a tour showcase that includes the Japanese action comic punk band Peelander-Z and the punkanova flair of the São Paulo-based Suplicy siblings, Brothers of Brazil.
Based in Los Angeles, The Aggrolites are a gritty reggae quintet led by guitarist and vocalist Jesse Wagner. The band eschews the more polished reggae of mainstream acts like Ziggy Marley and Steel Pulse in favor of a back-to-basics Kingston dancehall sound largely built on the melodic organ runs and fills of founding member Roger Rivas.
Now in its ninth year, The Aggrolites have released five studio albums, three of which were released on Tim Armstrong's Hellcat label. The band's most recent studio effort, "Rugged Road," was released on Young Cub Records earlier this year.
The band's tourmates, the Brothers of Brazil, are enjoying a banner year after arriving in America intent on breaking into the U.S. market. The duo signed with American Indie label Side One Dummy in the spring and released their debut album in July.
Drummer and vocalist Supla, born Eduardo Smith de Vasconcellos Suplicy, and brother João first started the project four years ago.
"Basically, we combine punk rock attitude with a traditional bossa nova sound," Supla said in an interview shortly before a show in Santa Cruz, Calif. "I bring the punk rock attitude; João brings the bossa nova."
The pair initially considered adding additional musicians to round out their sound but changed their minds after a successful performance in Portugal.
"The first time we decided to play as a duo was a big festival in Lisbon with bands like The Offspring and people really dug it," Supla explained. "So we thought, 'if it can go well here, well then we've really got something.'"
The Brothers of Brazil recorded their debut effort with Beastie Boys producer Mario Caldato, Jr. in Los Angeles. A veteran musician whose album credits go back to the late '80s, Supla said he was pleased to work with a producer who understands the nature of bossa nova.
"Mario's Brazilian and so he wanted to keep it simple and let the music do the talking," Supla said, adding that the songs are mostly sung in English.
Supla added that the band looks forward to each show and sharing their musical heritage with new fans each night, many of whom are punk-rock fans.
"For me punk rock is being yourself and not wearing a uniform," Supla said. "We're not easy to forget — there's the message and then our sound, which is us reaping our culture."
Also on the bill is Peelander-Z, arguably the most visually distinctive of the three acts. Based in New York City, the act consists of Japanese musicians that formed Peelander-Z while living in the U.S. in 1998.
Peelander-Z incorporates colorful costumes and audience participation while the band rips through high-energy punk rock numbers in the vein of early Black Flag.
Band leader Yellow, born Kengo Hioki, said there's so much more to a Peelander-Z show than just music.
"We're like a circus — we do human bowling, we do jumping rope and we do limbo-dancing," Yellow said. "When we play the House of Rock, all places — sometimes inside and outside — is our stage. So we wanna jump, we wanna dance, we wanna (be) crazy. See you there."

Yolo Causeway

|Yolo Causeway
An artist's representation of the original Yolo Causeway. Circa 1920.
|6 lanes of I‑80,
pedestrians and bicycles
|Yolo Bypass
|Yolo County, California
|Official name
|Blecher-Freeman Memorial Causeway
|Maintained by
|Total length
|3.2 mi (5.2 km)
|1916 (original), 1962 (current)
The Yolo Causeway is a 3.2-mile (5.2-kilometer) long elevated highway viaduct on Interstate 80 that crosses the Yolo Bypass floodplain and connects the cities of West Sacramento, California and Davis, California.
An original stretch of the Causeway was opened in 1916 connecting what is now the city of West Sacramento with Davis, California. The viaduct contained one lane in each direction and in 1928 was made a part of the re-routed Lincoln Highway, the first road across America. Later, the causeway became a part of US Highways 40 and 99W. It also included a drawspan for barges that sometimes needed to cross the bypass.
The current causeway was built in 1962 and renamed the "Blecher-Freeman Memorial Causeway" after two California Highway Patrol officers who were shot to death in 1978 after a highway stop near the causeway.[1] The causeway is composed of two bridges connected by an earth fill segment. The easternmost of the two bridges is the longer of the two and traffic reporters will sometimes refer to the two structures as the "long bridge" and the "short bridge".
The 25,500 acre (103 km²) Yolo Bypass protects Sacramento and other California Central Valley communities from flooding. During wet seasons, it can be full of water. It contains the Vic Fazio Yolo Wildlife Area, the largest ecological restoration project west of the Everglades. Other nature preserves in it include the Fremont Weir Wildlife Area and Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area.
UC Davis vs. Sacramento State[edit]
The Causeway Classic College football game between the University of California, Davis and California State University, Sacramento and the Causeway Carriage trophy awarded to the winner of that game are both named after the Yolo Causeway.

can today be the day that the Birds end the streak of dome teams
0-6 in nfc titles games not played in a dome
i really see this game as close and can go either way
i want the Falcons to win but i could see Phil take this also
but i do like the way the Falcons have down played the game
and put everything back on the Eagles
wish 2 would hurry up and get here

If using a charcoal grill, place drip pan directly under grilling area, and arrange coals around edge of firebox. Heat coals or gas grill for indirect heat.
Mix all ingredients except chicken in a small bowl. Rub mixture over skin of chicken, and place 2 tablespoons mixture in cavity of chicken. Insert barbecue meat thermometer so that the tip is in thickest part of inside thigh muscle and does not touch bone.
Cover and grill chicken, breast side up, over drip pan or over unheated side of gas grill 4 to 6 inches from medium-high heat for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Rotate chicken one-half turn once, until thermometer reads 180° F and juice of chicken is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. Garnish as desired.
