People who know me know that fitness and health are my life. I'm a 20-year Air Force guy with a passion for sports and fitness, concentrating on youth and training clients, as I own my own personal training business. Would like to meet someone who is educated and funny and can carry on a decent, coherent conversation...someone who is on the same path as me and wants to just laugh and enjoy everything around us. My faith keeps me strong, hopeful and happy every day and means a lot to me. I'm a hopeless romantic I guess, but don't need or want much -- just to smile and enjoy life and be happy with someone I can trust. I've been through enough BS for ten people, so I'm ready for something real without any drama. I don't take any of this lightly, despite being on here and what some think about people doing so. Friends thought this would be a good idea for me, as I've avoided getting into a new relationship for a long time. Doing this was never in my plans. However, I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, so I'll roll with it and see how it plays out. Stranger things have happened, so I guess I'll find out soon enough if this is a good thing -- maybe before I pull all my photos and info down. Again.

Hello everyone.
I've been using Poser and DAZ for about a year now, I've been looking everywhere for a realistic wrestling arena and I just can't find anything. I'm using Pandorian's Wrestling Ring Gen 2, which by the way is pretty awesome, and I'm looking for something I can use to build a WWE-style arena.
Any help will be kindly appreciated

Microsoft I'll give you more information about it, but before I do that, let me get some information about you. Can I have your phone number please?
Mktg I don't want to give you my information, I just want to know more about the product.
Microsoft I'll give you the website address where you can get information about the Surface.
Mktg I don't have the internet, I prefer to use the phone.
Microsoft All right, just give me a moment. What kind of information are you looking for?
Mktg I want to know when I might be able to buy it?
Microsoft OK. Can I place the call on hold for one minute?
Mktg OK [put on hold for two minutes].

Mktg I'm thinking of buying an Apple iPad - I want to know what is better about Surface?
Microsoft It will come with Windows 8. The date hasn't been decided, it's coming soon. I'll give you some information. Do you have an email address?
Mktg I don't have an internet connection at home.

Microsoft should have given information to the call-handler about the product, since it was a high-profile launch. He was unable to answer or grasp the point of Mole's questions.

Art & Mirror Framers in the United States can expect to earn an average of $12.08 per hour. Compensation ranges from $8.77 per hour on the lower end to $16.20 on the higher end. Career duration and the particular city each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Work is reasonably fulfilling for most Art & Mirror Framers — the majority report average levels of job satisfaction. Art & Mirror Framers survey participants are largely women, dominating at 61 percent. Just under a third report receiving medical coverage from their employers and nearly one in seven collect dental insurance. The numbers in this rundown were provided by PayScale's salary survey participants.

A framer works in frame shops, photography studios, and museums in order to frame works of art, mirrors and photographs. Some positions may be full-time, while others may be part-time or seasonal.Read More...
Some jobs may require a minimum of a high school diploma or higher. Many positions require experience in a similar position, though some jobs may offer training. Some jobs may involve picture frames that are not yet finished and cut, so the picture framer will need carpentry skills in order to create frames or finish them. Some jobs require knowledge of advanced framing skills, such as using Wizard, museum mounting, and cutting glass. Another possible requirement is being able to create shadow boxes. Since artworks often vary in size, custom framing is often necessary. This may involve the use of power tools, so the framer should be able to operate these tools safely. Most of the work is done independently; therefore, the ability to adhere to time constraints and be self-motivated is important. Some positions may also require the framer to be able to organize the artworks once framed, so experience and aesthetic skills are helpful.
The job is usually done indoors, but it's often done in a noisy environment due to the use of various tools. The framer should be able to work well under these noisy conditions. In some framing shops, the framer will also work to assist customers firsthand. The framer will have to determine customer needs, answer their questions, and find them framing solutions. Therefore, people skills are often important to possess.
Art & Mirror Framers who responded to the survey report just a handful of professional skills. Those who have experience with Design, Customer Service, and Sales can expect to be compensated well for these skills. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Sales. Those educated in Customer Service tend to be well versed in Sales.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Art & Mirror Framers, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. People who have worked for fewer than five years bring home $21K on average. Median compensation in the five-to-10 year group, however, is higher at approximately $24K. On average, Art & Mirror Framers make $29K following one to two decades on the job. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $32K.

Shift 2 producer: GT5 not a game
Is GT5 fun and entertaining? Some people don't think so and those people think Gran Turismo 5 should be reclassified as something other than a game.
I can never work out why people involved with one game feel the need to talk about rival games negatively. My only conclusion is that they feel unsure their game can compete with the one they choose to be dismissive about, otherwise they'd surely avoid even mentioning it. Keep that in mind when you read what Shift 2: Unleashed producer Jesse Abney had to say about Gran Turismo 5:
I've never really considered GT5 a game. A game to us equals fun, equals entertainment – and Need For Speed has always been about entertaining and fun. You play GT5, you get a scientific approach to driving. Physics simulations are often subjective, and again – we find we're not presenting the same kind of physics simulation in the race day environment that GT5 is doing in their driving simulation. We've never really professed to compete against them, we've just said that we want to deliver a fun, exciting, visceral, entertaining racing experience.
As someone who owns GT5, is still playing through it, and (most importantly) loving every minute of it, I completely reject the notion that it isn't a game. GT5 is fun and is entertaining. It won't be to everyone's taste but then neither are the Need for Speed games. Abney clearly feels threatened by Gran Turismo 5.

Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter
A total of 52 Boeing 747 aircraft, or 3% of the total number of 747's built, first flown commercially in 1970, have been involved in accidents and incidents resulting in a hull loss, meaning that the aircraft has either been destroyed or has been damaged beyond economical repair.[5] Of the 52 Boeing 747 aircraft losses, 25 resulted in no loss of life; in one, a hostage was murdered; and in one, a terrorist died.[5] Some of the aircraft that were declared damaged beyond economical repair were older 747s that sustained relatively minor damage. Had these planes been newer it would have been economically viable to repair them, although with the 747's increasing obsolescence this is becoming less common.[6][7] 747s have been involved in accidents resulting in the highest death toll of any aviation accident, the highest death toll of any single airplane accident and the highest death toll of a mid-air collision, although, as with most airliner accidents, the roots of causation in these incidents involved a confluence of multiple factors which rarely could be ascribed to flaws with the 747's design or its flying characteristics.
- Pan Am Flight 93, was the first hull loss of a Boeing 747, the result of terrorism. On September 6, 1970 a new Pan American World Airways aircraft flying from Amsterdam to New York was hijacked and flown first to Beirut, then to Cairo. Shortly after the occupants were evacuated from the aircraft after arriving at Cairo, it was blown up.[8]
- Japan Air Lines Flight 404, the second 747 hull loss, was very similar to the first. Japan Airlines jet was hijacked on a flight from Amsterdam to Anchorage, Alaska on July 23, 1973. It flew to Dubai, then Damascus, before ending its journey at Benghazi. The occupants were released and the aircraft was blown up. One of the hijackers died.[9]
- Lufthansa Flight 540 was the first fatal crash of a 747. On November 20, 1974, it crashed moments after taking off from Nairobi, killing 59 people - there were 98 survivors. The cause was pilot error leading to a stall.
- Imperial Iranian Air Force, flight ULF48, a 747 freighter crashed near Madrid on May 9, 1976, due to the structural failure of its left wing in flight, killing the 17 people on board. The accident investigation determined that a lightning strike caused an explosion in a fuel tank in the wing, leading to flutter and the separation of the wing.[10][11]
- KLM and Pan American World Airways, both 747s, on March 27, 1977 the highest death toll in any aviation accident in history occurred when KLM 4805 collided on the runway with Pan Am 1736 in heavy fog at Tenerife Airport, resulting in 583 fatalities. There were 61 survivors, all from the Pan Am 747. The Pan Am aircraft was the first 747 that entered commercial service.[12]
- Air India Flight 855 crashed into the sea off the coast of Mumbai (Bombay) on New Year's Day, 1978. All 213 passengers and crew died. The cause was lack of situation awareness on the captain's part after executing a banked turn.
- Korean Air Flight 015, operating a flight from Los Angeles to Seoul, with a refueling stop at Anchorage, Alaska, was damaged beyond repair at landing on November 19, 1980. Of the 226 occupants, 15 passengers and crew died.
- Korean Air Lines Flight 007, a 747-200B from New York City to Seoul via Anchorage, Alaska and Tokyo, was shot down just west of Sakhalin Island by the Soviet Air Force on September 1, 1983. All 269 passengers and crew aboard died.
- Avianca Flight 011, a 747-200 flying from Paris to Bogotá via Madrid, crashed into a mountainside on 27 November 1983 due to a navigational error while maneuvering to land at Madrid Barajas International Airport. 181 people died; there were 11 survivors.
- Air India Flight 182, a 747-200B, en route from Montreal to New Delhi, was blown up in midair off the Southwest coast of Ireland by a bomb on June 23, 1985. All 329 on board died. Until the September 11 attacks of 2001 the Air India bombing was the single deadliest terrorist attack involving aircraft. It remains "worst mass murder in Canadian history."
- Japan Airlines Flight 123, an inadequate repair resulted in the loss of the 747SR (SR for Short Range) flying from Tokyo to Osaka on August 12, 1985. Most of the aircraft's vertical stabilizer was blown apart while the aircraft was at cruising altitude, after the rear pressure bulkhead failed. The pilots kept it in the air for 32 minutes but it eventually crashed, causing 520 fatalities - there were 4 survivors. It is the worst single-aircraft accident in aviation history.[13]
- South African Airways Flight 295, a 747-200BSCD "Combi" en route from Taipei to Johannesburg on November 28, 1987, crashed into the ocean off Mauritius after a fire in the rear cargo hold during the flight resulted in loss of control. All 159 people on board died.
- Pan Am Flight 103, a 747-100, disintegrated in mid-air on December 21, 1988 due to a terrorist bomb in the luggage hold; the wings, with their tanks full of fuel, landed on Lockerbie, Scotland. All 259 people on board and 11 people in Lockerbie died. A Libyan national was eventually convicted of destroying the aircraft.
- Flying Tiger Flight 66, on February 19, 1989, a 747-100F was flying a Non-directional beacon (NDB) approach to Runway 33 at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Kuala Lumpur, when the aircraft hit a hillside 600 ft (180 m) above sea level, resulting in the deaths of all four people on board.[14]
- British Airways Flight 149 was a 747-100 flying from London Heathrow Airport to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Kuala Lumpur with stopovers in Kuwait International Airport and Chennai International Airport, Madras. The aircraft landed in Kuwait City on August 1, 1990, four hours after the Gulf War broke out. All 385 passengers and crew were taken hostage by Iraqi forces; one was murdered but the others were released. The aircraft was subsequently blown up.
- China Airlines Flight 358, a 747-200, crashed on December 29, 1991 shortly after takeoff from Chiang Kai-shek International Airport in Taipei, Taiwan, when the number three engine detached in flight and impacted the number four engine, also separating it from the aircraft.
- El Al Flight 1862 was a cargo 747-200F that crashed shortly after departure from Amsterdam Schiphol on October 4, 1992. Engines 3 and 4 detached after takeoff as a result of metal fatigue prior to overload failure arising out of inadequate design; as a result the flight crew lost control and the crippled 747 crashed into the Klein-Kruitberg apartments in Bijlmermeer at high speed. The sole passenger and all three crew died as well as 39 on the ground.
- On November 4, 1993, China Airlines Flight 605, a brand-new 747-400 from Taipei to Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport, landed 2000 feet past the threshold on runway 13, with insufficient braking power. Unable to stop before the end of the runway, the captain steered the aircraft into the Victoria Harbor. All passengers were evacuated via inflatable life rafts. The vertical fin was blown off with explosives, as it disrupted airport operations. The aircraft was recovered from the harbor days later and was written off.
- TWA Flight 800, a 747-100 bound for Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, exploded during its climb from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on July 17, 1996; all 230 people aboard died. A spark from a wire in the center fuel tank caused the explosion, although several alternative theories have persisted. Changes in fuel tank management were adopted after the crash.
- In the 1996 Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 763, a 747-100B collided with Air Kazakhstan Flight 1907, an Ilyushin Il-76 in midair over Chakri Dadri in Haryana, India on November 12, 1996, resulting in the deaths of all 349 occupants of both aircraft, more fatalities than any other mid-air collision in history.
- Korean Air Flight 801, a 747-300, crashed into a hillside on August 6, 1997 while on approach to Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport on the island of Guam; 228 aboard died - there were 26 survivors.
- Korean Air Flight 8702, a Boeing 747-400 flying from Seoul, Incheon International Airport to Tokyo, diverted to Cheju. After take off from Cheju, the aircraft rolled off the runway at Seoul. The fuselage split and 25 people were injured
- Air France flight 6745, a 747-2B3F (F-GPAN) carrying 66 tons of cargo from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Madras International Airport, Madras via Karachi and Bangalore HAL Airport on March 5, 1999 was destroyed by fire after landing with gear up. No fatalities.[15]
- Korean Air Cargo Flight 8509, a 747-200F from London Stansted Airport to Milan on December 22, 1999, was destroyed when it crashed shortly after take-off; all four crew died. The captain of the aircraft had manoeuvred it according to erroneous indications on his attitude indicator.
- Singapore Airlines Flight 006, a 747-400 flying from Singapore to Los Angeles via Taipei, crashed into construction equipment on October 31, 2000 while attempting to take off from a closed runway at Taiwan's Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (now Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport). It caught fire and was destroyed; 79 passengers and three crew members died[16] - there were 96 survivors.
- Saudi Arabian Airlines, 22:08 Thursday August 23, 2001. The Boeing 747-368 rolled into a drainage ditch and toppled forward causing the severe damage to the nose section. Reportedly, the aircraft was being taxied by a ground engineer on the no. 2 and 3 engines. When trying to make a turn brakes and steering had no effect and the aircraft continued into the ditch. It is said that the aux hydraulic pumps switches (which actuate brakes and steering) were in the off position.[17]
- MK Airlines, a 747-200F, crashed about 700m short of the runway near Port Harcourt Airport, Nigeria on November 27, 2001. Of the 13 on board, 1 died.[18]

It's seven years since Afro Celt Sound System first assaulted our senses with their innovative fusion of West African rhythms, Irish traditional music and cutting-edge dance grooves. Gone is Afro Celt Sound System. In its place emerges a band called Afro Celts and their most rewarding album yet, 'Seed'. We've developed a very defined sound which has come from us playing together. It's taken a long time. But we've finally become a band." Recorded and produced in their own studio in Islington (once owned by Pink Floyd), the result is an album that marks a new departure for the Afro Celts. More organic with greater emphasis on real instruments and songcraft and with less reliance on programmed beats and grooves than before, 'Seed' is the most rounded and fully-realised Afro Celts album to date.
Our price: $16.98 (€14.77)

Flour Bluff grad stars in TV medical drama
CORPUS CHRISTI - There's a few similarities between Matt Thornton and Dr. Tom Stark the medical intern he plays on TV.
"I'm pretty laid back, and don't take things too seriously," said the 1998 Flour Bluff High School graduate. "(Stark) really does care, but he's lazy. He gets complacent and doesn't do all the little things he was taught to do."
Thornton said his own tendency to cut corners sometimes results in him having to try things three or four times before being successful. But his starring role on The Learning Channel medical drama Diagnosis X premiering Wednesday might be one of the times some effort is paying off.
Thornton, who lived near Los Angeles for four years and recently moved to Austin, had already planned his return to Texas before receiving a callback from the show's producers. He said most of his time in California with his teacher-wife was spent doing unsuccessful auditions.
He appeared in one episode of the TLC medical re-enactment show Untold Stories of the ER. That's when the role of Dr. Stark called to him. Episodes were shot between April and June.
X, in the vein of other successful hospital dramas, revolves around interns finding their way as newcomers in a hospital environment, confronted on a weekly basis with odd cases to diagnose. In between, romance and other personal matters ensue.
"A lot of the drama comes from interns misdiagnosing patients and making rookie mistakes," Thornton said. "A lot of the show ends up being about their relationships with each other."
A last-semester decision to pursue acting while in college started Thornton on his path. Right before graduating with a degree in sociology and criminology in 2002, Thornton took a screenwriting class taught by Texas Chainsaw Massacre writer Kim Henkel. He packed his bags for California a year later.
Thornton's mother-in-law, Corpus Christi resident Ludie Litz, said Matt's recent success has been a long time coming.
"He's worked hard to get where he's at," she said. "Hopefully the show will get some good ratings."
Thornton said if The Learning Channel airs all the first season's episodes and X is picked up for another season, he would likely have to move back to California for several months. But in the meantime, he's back in Texas to stay, where he'll audition for independent movie roles.
Turns out he might not be as lazy as Dr. Stark.
"If you hang in there long enough, you'll get something," Thornton said. "It could happen tomorrow or 10 years from now there's no set time for anybody."

YIELD: Makes 4 (side dish) servings
ACTIVE TIME: 20 min
TOTAL TIME: 50 min
Heat annatto seeds and oil in a very small saucepan over low heat, swirling pan frequently, until oil turns bright red-orange and begins to simmer, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, discarding seeds.
Cook onion, bell pepper, garlic, and cilantro in 1 1/2 tablespoons annatto oil in a 2-to 3-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until vegetables are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until most of grains are opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in water and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Stir rice again, then reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until rice is just tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork before serving.
Cooks notes:
You can substitute 1/4 teaspoon saffron for the annatto. Use only 1 1/2 tablespoon oil and crumble saffron into oil just before using it.
Leftover annatto oil keeps, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to 1 month.

Gear Review
Finally, socks that actually fit. I'm a size 6 and the Small fits absolutely perfect. No bunching issues either around the toe and its flat knit toe seams ensure that I don't have any annoying chafing issues while I run. So far I've ran twice in these and they were wicked comfortable. Its TriLayer technology (fancy word for its blend of synthetic materials) wicks moisture away and dries super-quick leaving my feet comfortable throughout my five mile run. There's also slight cushioning on the sole and the instep contains lightweight mesh fabric to ensure your feet don't overheat. The sock is also made really well too!

From: Mary Pettitt, Special Prosecutor for Bedford County and Commonwealth's Attorney of Montgomery County
Update: BCSO press release is below:
Both Staunton River High School (SRHS) and Staunton River Middle School were placed on lockdown last Wednesday morning after a threatening message was found inside one of the high school's buildings, according to Ryan Edwards, the school division's spokesman.
Edwards said the middle school was placed on lockdown as a precaution. He said sheriff's deputies surrounded the perimeter of the high school and a full investigation took place
Bedford County Sheriff's Office School Resource Officers are investigating a threatening message found on a restroom wall at Jefferson Forest High School Monday around 1:50 p.m.
Bedford County Public Schools officials are working to increase security at Forest Elementary School following reports of an intruder who entered the school Sept. 19.
According to school officials, an African-American man, bald and apparently in his 20s, went to the school and requested to have lunch with a first grade student.
Investigators have named a second person of interest in the abduction and slaying case of two sisters in 1975 in Montgomery County, Maryland, and a special grand jury is scheduled to convene Friday in Bedford County Circuit Court to help with the investigation.
For the past several weeks the four-decade long investigation into the missing girls has been focused in the Taylor Mountain area of Bedford County. A search for the bodies of the two girls has been ongoing over the rough terrain of the mountain.
The Bedford County Sheriff's Office and the Virginia State Police are assisting the Montgomery County (MD) Police Department with a homicide investigation, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office.
Last week investigators from the Montgomery County Police Department, Cold Case Squad, traveled to Bedford County and met with investigators from the Bedford County Sheriff's Office and Virginia State Police.

Michael Anthony Smith pleaded guilty, last week, to charges stemming from the death of his 2-year-old son this past winter. The boy's mother, Shana Witt, has been charged with smothering the boy with a stuffed toy.
According to Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Krantz, an investigation indicated that the couple delayed calling emergency services for up to two hours while they got rid of evidence of a meth lab operating in the house.

Race Report: On a day that saw spectacular crashes, unprecedented neutralizations, abandonments, chaos, lost jerseys and fantastic attacks, it all came down to the Wall of Huy, and it was the specialist classic climber of Joaquim Rodríguez who rode the rest of the race off his wheel to take the win atop the famous climb.
Our man Mark was introduced to the cobbles of Flanders last week by Velo Classic Tours, riding the roads of Wevelgem, Scheldeprijs and De Ronde. To finish him off he tackled the Hell of the North and those murderous tracks to Roubaix, but he still had time for rider watching at the sign-on in Compiégne.
As part of his continued Spring Classics trip with Velo Classic Tours our man Mark McGhee has been out riding the Belgian cobbles that included the Gent-Wevelgem parcours and its famous bergs whilst being followed around by pro photographers on motorbikes, been up close to the pros at the Scheldepris race and hung out in VIP comfort in between. Life's tough as Paris Roubaix approaches!
After the craziness of chasing De Ronde, Mark McGhee goes for a ride to find a different craziness... the craziness of Belgium. On his 100 kilometre ride, Mark takes in some of the iconic climbs and cobbles of Flanders, all in preparation for an evening of Belgian food and drink for our voyeur pleasure of course.
Sunday's Tour of Flanders was a great race but the best way to really experience the Classics is roadside with a group like Velo Classic Tours. Luckily for our man Mark, that's exactly where he was on Sunday, backstage at the sign on and then roadside for the action.
Race Report: In a glorious race across the 'white roads' of Tuscany, Zdenek Stybar scored the best win of his road career, out duelling Greg Van Avermaet and Alejandro Valverde at the 2015 Strade Bianche Eroica Pro.
Race Report: Up against three Etixx-Quickstep riders, and three of the best classics riders in the world, it was last year's winner Ian Stannard of Team Sky who showed them all how to ride the Omloop. Boonen, Vandenbergh and Terpstra could do nothing to hold back a rampaging Englishman who wanted this win more than any other in his career.
Race Report: With the Australians sticking to their game-plan, and controlling the race throughout, the one thing they hadn't considered was a well-timed attack from the Norwegian powerhouse Sven Erik Bystrom. He timed his uphill attack to perfection and flew down to Ponferrada to take the best win of his young career.
Race Report: A wet and tricky 9.7 kilometer time trial greeted the Vuelta peloton in Santiago de Compostela. The stage went to the Italian TT specialist; Adriano Malori, but all eyes were on Alberto Contador as he fired his gun of victory.
Race Report: Stage 18 took in the final climb twice, but it only took the young Italian Fabio Aru once to get a gap on the other Vuelta GC hopefuls. Chris Froome joined him for them both to prosper. Stage for Aru, 2nd overall for Froome.
Race Report: One Colombian took the stage but it was a different one that took the Red Jersey. Winner Anacona had a great win and then watched the clock to see if he would be in the overall. In a surprising attack; Alberto Contador laid the foundation for Nairo Quintana to chase and take the Red Jersey.
Race Report: On a day when the biggest challenge was the all-consuming heat it was that other German sprinter who powered into the ancient city of Córdoba and took the win for Giant-Shimano. John Degenkolb has every reason to love Spain and will be looking for more wins in this year's race.
Race Report: In a fast and furious finish, as the riders sped through La Isla San Fernando, it was the team of FDJ who played their hand to perfection and set up Nacer Bouhanni for the win. He finished it off in style and even had time to look over his shoulder and show his rivals who was boss.
Race Report: Alejandro Valverde may have faded badly in the final week of Le Tour but today he showed the rest of the peloton how to race this post-Tour Classic. He may not be from the Basque Country but Balaverde (the Green Bullet) loves this race and was determined to win it for a second time.
Race Report: In a race that's been all about attacking, and attacking again it came down to a sprint finish in Paris. It almost didn't though as Team Sky attempted to recover from their misfortunes but nothing was going to deny the big German and arguably best sprinter around, Marcel Kittel. From start to finish, he's shown he's the man to watch in the dash for the line.
Race Report: It looked like a re-run of the Nîmes finish as a Garmin rider struggled to hold off a charging peloton. This time, though, perhaps aided by a big crash 3km from home, the US-based team finished their man Ramúnas Navardauskas ahead of all of the fancied sprinters.
Race Report: On a day that saw Astana and the major players' content to let the break go, we ended with a new Maillot Jaune, a shake-up in the overall, a popular German win and a new Toast of France! Bring on Bastille Day!
Race Report: On the day most of the riders were scared of, it was the Italian Champion and current Yellow Jersey who took the race by the scruff of the neck and blew the parcours apart. Atrocious weather, a favorite abandoned, riders gapped but the strongest man was Lars Boom (Belkin) who showed all of the other Classics specialists how to ride the cobbles in the wet.
Race Report: With nine climbs and the final one coming just 5 kms before the finish it was always going to be a day of attrition. Vincenzo Nibali proved the wiliest though and the Shark of Messina outsmarted everyone to take the win and the jersey.
Giro'14 St.21 Race Report: With all eyes on Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ.fr) to take the stage win, it was yet another fast man from Giant-Shimano, Luka Mezgec who showed them all how to do it, while Columbia's Nairo Quintana won his first Grand Tour.

Roger Waldinger, a sociology professor at UCLA, authors the book review "Moving Right Along," which evaluates how immigration policy should progress in the future. He chose to review four books that explore macro level impact, costs, obstacles, and previous immigration policy proposals. Reflecting on these works, Waldinger suggests that the best solution would require compromise … Continue reading
Summary: Can America Remain a Nation of Immigrants in the 21st Century?
Times change. As a result, the present state of the American government is unrecognizable when compared to its state 50 years ago, let alone 227 years ago when the US Constitution was drafted. Richard Samuelson, a professor of history at California State University – San Bernardino, traces the concept of America as a nation of … Continue reading
Ebola and Inadmissibility
Starting in February 2014, the Ebola virus has spread through a few countries in Western Africa (i.e. Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia). The United States has implemented Ebola screenings at 5 major airports, subsequent to the recent case of Thomas Duncan who developed symptoms in the United States (after arriving from West Africa) and spread … Continue reading
Executive Grants of Immigration Relief
In recent months, there has been speculation about the Obama Administration issuing another immigration policy mandate in reaction to the current stalemate on Capitol Hill. Last month in September 2014, President Obama released a statement deferring the expected executive mandate on immigration until after the midterm elections in November. Issuing mandates on immigration is not … Continue reading
Nobel Winner's Concerns Over U.K. Immigration Policy & Reflections on Exceptional Talent
On October 6, 2014, James O'Keefe was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine. In a recent article posted at BBC.com, Dr. O'Keefe raised his concerns about restrictive UK immigration policy having a negative impact on scientific innovation in Britain.

EB-2 India and the Disappointment of the October 2014 Visa Bulletin: "What We've Got Here is a Failure to Communicate"*
To Indian nationals with EB-2 priority dates between May 2, 2009 and September 2009, a great disservice has been done. Foreign nationals are subject to retrogression when their immigrant visa category is over subscribed. There is an annual cap on the number of employment-based visas that can be issued to foreign nationals (and derivative family … Continue reading
The Status of Immigration Reform – Sept 3, 2014
This blog was started in December 2012, after President Obama's re-election and at a time of great expectation that major immigration reform was coming. We started this blog to cover the policy developments to better inform ourselves and those in our circle of influence. The conventional wisdom was that immigration reform was coming soon.

Xcorps Action Sports TV #48.) ROAD TOUR seg.2 HD
A Skateboarding video by Xcorps Action Sports Music TV - 3,821 views
Xcorps Action Sports TV #48.) ROAD TOUR seg.3 HD - Rolling into a new TV season team X launches a fresh wave of assaults upon the lame and mundane by shooting a massive coast to coast Road-Tour stretching from Boston to San Diego!
The show opens up with host Jason Lazo standing in the New Jersey surf after flying in from San Diego California to visit RIVE- the source of many of the music videos that appear on the show. Jason hangs at a local skate park in Long Branch N.J. and talks with RIVE owner John Warden and producer Nick Paolise who talk about what exactly RIVE does for musicians and bands.
After that the pedal hits the metal with Jason jumping on U.S. interstate 80 west. Nice high speed road shots here rolling to a brand new video from an alt pop band from Denmark-The Asteroids Galaxy- Tour presented by Girly Action.
Pretty fun way to roll the highway with this band in the stereo!
Jason pushes the car all night stopping at 6:30 am on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River between Illinois and Iowa for a report to the camera. After another fill-up the miles keep rolling by cut to a video from keyboard talent Aaron Barnhart doing his song Day in Day Out. Lots of farm scenes here of mid America looking summer green and then onward to the Wyoming border!
Jason exits on the next segment for a little break on his trans-continental drive at the highest point on U.S.80- also known as the Lincoln Highway-Americas first cross country highway. The air is a bit thin here at 8,640 feet. A freaky animated video from the band A Lull doing their song Skinny Fingers rolls with big sky scenes here of the Wyoming landscape.
Jason talks about the journey as the miles roll on then decides to exit the big road to head south on U.S. highway 530 for a closer look at the super scenic Flaming Gorge National Park. Great shots here and what kind of animal was that? It seems like the Xcorps host-reporter was the only one on the road following the Green river and finding a camping

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 2/20/13
On June 22, 2013, the Cleveland Indians will induct two members of the mid-90s run into their Hall of Fame in second baseman Carlos Baerga and general manager John Hart. Hart will join five others as a member of the "Distinguished" Hall of Fame for non-uniformed personnel. Baerga spent the large part of seven seasons with the Indians, totallig 919 games. As a member of the Tribe, Baerga amassed 1,084 hits which included 103 home runs, 190 doubles and 15 triples. He provided a slash line of .300/.354/.446 (OPS of .801). He was a three-time All-Star, a two-time winner of the Silver Slugger Award and garnered MVP consideration in 1992 and 1993. He's also extremely photogenic. Hart, the Indians' GM from 1991 to 2001. He joined the team in 1989 as a special assignment scout, but managed the team for the final 19 games of that season, posting an 8-11 mark. He was the Indians' director of baseball operations from 1990-1991, and then succeeded Hank Peters as the club's general manager. In his 10 seasons at the helm, the Indians were 870-681 (.561), won six American League Central Division championships, and won two American League championships and appeared in the World Series in 1995 and 1997. "Carlos and John are responsible for some of the best memories in Cleveland Indians history, and we're proud to honor their contributions," said team President Mark Shapiro of this very honor. They'll join Sandy Alomar Jr, Kenny Lofton, Charles Nagy and Mike Hargrove as other predominant members of the mid-90s Cleveland Indians teams. [Related: Cleveland Sports Life Boat – Indians Closers]

TUCSON Ariz. (Reuters) - A 9-year-old girl accidentally shot and killed her shooting instructor at an Arizona range with an Israeli-made Uzi submachine gun when the weapon's strong recoil caused her to lose control of her aim, police said on Tuesday.
They said that Charles Vacca, 39, had been standing next to the girl at the Last Stop shooting range in White Hills near the Nevada border on Monday morning showing her how to fire the automatic weapon.
When she pulled the trigger, the recoil forced her aim over her head, and Vacca was shot in the head, according to a Mohave County Sheriff's Office statement.
Vacca was airlifted to nearby Las Vegas, where he was pronounced dead. A spokesman for the sheriff's department did not know how many times Vacca was shot or what model of Uzi the girl was firing.

Only one, and he has to be honest when he answers.
Mine would be:
What did you do the evening after you got your 1st MLB win? Party? rest? Family? Clubbing? Prayer?
The kid is...well, just a kid, and I would be curious how he handled it all that day, especially after the fact.
Maybe his 1st win is no big deal to him...who knows.

'Demon Squirrel' Stars In New Russian Anti-Alcoholism Campaign (Video)
A Russian cartoon on alcoholism featuring a red-eyed "demon squirrel" with "the shakes" has had more than a million views on YouTube. The squirrel rants about "chasing spiders up the walls" with a friend, who then murders his wife. The public information ad has created a buzz word, "kudyapliki" — imaginary creatures the squirrel and his friend want to hunt during their binge. "Are you on the booze yourself?" he asks at the end. "I'll be seeing you."

The Story of Delaware Senate Hopeful Christine O'Donnell (Animated)
A Tea Party insurgency has left rancor and discord within the GOP's big tent. Led by Sarah Palin, Tea Party candidates have scored several primary upsets against establishment candidates. The latest victor is Christine O'Donnell.
The anti-masturbation candidate has won the Republican senate nomination in Delaware, causing strategist Karl Rove to self-immolate on national television. The Democrats, believing the Tea Party cannot win in a general election, are predictably happy with Tea Party's primary success. But are the Democrat's underestimating the strength of this populist movement?

Watch What a Legal Pot Economy Looks Like (Video)
By Easy Rider on July 31, 2010 in News 58
This fall Californians will go the polls with a chance to make history. They will be able to cast a vote to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol or cigarettes. California's Proposition 19 is one of many similar initiatives cropping up on state ballots across the country. Whether it's calls for decriminalization or medical marijuana the end of cannabis prohibition has never seemed closer. In this short animated parable, "The Flower," award winning artist Haik Hoisington contrasts a legal marijuana economy with an illegal one, to show how everyone stands to benefit from ending the war on weed.
Nothing Good in This One-Year Projection of the Gulf Coast Oil Spill (Video)
Researchers at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa have created a simulation of the potential spread of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill over 360 days. Their hypothetical scenario? All sorts of bad. Researchers at Mānoa's School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) have created a model that charts the oil's possible path over the course of approximately a year:
