text: Getting a few minutes to sit down with NICKELBACK during their swing through NYC on December 5th would really have been difficult for anyone else... seeing as I made their schedule and built in some time to talk to them for Roadrunnerrecords.com, we rounded them up for a 15-minute chat in the Roadrunner conference room. To set the stage, Chad Kroeger was reading a piece of fan mail that was sent to him via the RR offices. He read out loud to the rest of the band and showed them the photo of the devoted fan. I would have recounted a bit of what the letter said, but Mike Kroeger turned my tape recorder off, saying "This is off the record!" For the record... RR is me, Jamie from Roadrunner CK is Chad Kroeger (Vocals), RP is Ryan Peake (Guitar), MK is Mike Kroeger (Bass) and RV is Ryan Vikedal (Drums)! RR - "So lets talk about fan experiences guys..." RP - "Like this one? (pointing to Chad's piece of fan mail)" RR - "Yeah, like this one. Or how people come up to you and do things you find strange or give you strange things... (pause) Will you look at the smile on Mike's face when i ask that?!" CK - "That shit-eating grin." MK - "That's all you're getting out of me!" RV - "Yeah, there was that one girl, she started out in, i think, Pennsylvania and ended up in New Orleans..." MK - "OH YEAH, the one that hitchiked the whole way." RR - "She followed you around?" RV - "Yeah, she was a witch and gave us all those necklace things and we wore them and had the worst luck." RR - "What necklace things?" RP - "She said 'I make these necklace things and give them away'..." MK - "She cursed our Guitar Tech" RR - "She CURSED your Guitar Tech?" MK - "Yeah, he's not been right since!" RP - "She was on tour." RR - "She was on tour with YOU." CK - "She came off the NICKELBACK tour and went on the UNION UNDERGROUND tour... She's in the Where Are They Now? File..." RR - "OK, so I am sure you are sick of telling the Starbucks story... so say you had the opportunity to change the name of the band or the story behind the current name... what would it be? what would the story be behind it?" RP - "I would change the story behind the name..." RR - "What would you change it TO?" RP - "That it was a World War 2 aircraft... that never made it to the production line because it was made by Canadians." RR - "Oh, that's a good story." MK - "There actually was one, called the Arrow." RP - "But we'll call it the NICKELBACK for future reference. Have you ever heard of the Arrow??" RR - "Uh, no..." CK - (to rest of band) "She's an American... its all about Uncle Sam keepin us down!" (laughs) RR - "So tell me the story about how you got signed to Roadrunner." CK - "So I met Ron (Roadrunner A&R guy, Ron Burman) through this escort service... (laughs)." RP - "I sent a CD... Its cool because we actually keep in touch with this guy who we also sent a CD to... Jan Seedman ... at M3..." CK - "I picked Ron up at the airport!" RP - "And he was a publishing guy who sent it to Ron Burman. Then Burman heard it, liked us, then came up to a show. A gig in Vancouver." RR - "What did you like most about making THE STATE?" CK - "Just the fact that it wasn't being funded by anybody else. It was all us, we had full control over it." RP - "We picked everyone who worked on it." CK - "Yeah, we got to pick everything, do everything. We just had full control and it feels really good that something that we let no external force manipulate, that exact same sound that we had when we were done with it, did not get remixed, remastered or anything. That piece went on to get us the record deal and went on to sell..." RR - "About a quarter of a million copies... at least now." RP - "When we came to Roadrunner the only thing that was re-done was the artwork. None of the music was touched." RR - "How do you hope the next record will happen?" RP - "Exactly the same way... Roadrunner looks at us and says 'That's amazing - we couldn't have done a better job.'" RR- "Are you going to work with Garth again, you think?" (GGGarth Richardson) RP - "Possibly." CK - "He is being considered...definetly. I don't know what level, probably a different level than last time..." RR - "So I KNOW you guys are buddies with 3 DOORS DOWN because I met one of those guys out in LA at a Farmclub taping and when his LA radio promo guy introduced him to me, he freaked out, hugged me and was psyched to meet me just because I work with you..." (whole band laughs) "That had to be Todd..." (said in unison) RR - "So there is no question that you are good friends with 3 DOORS DOWN. How have your experiences been with the other bands you have toured with." CK - "They have all been great. We have not struck a connection quite like the one with 3DD, that's very very unique. That doesn't happen very often. Hardly ever happens at all. But, SEVENDUST... awesome! They're great guys. CREED - very nice guys. FUEL...great. Those southern bands..." RP - "It seems like all the bands from down south work really well with us..." CK - "FULL DEVIL JACKET..." RR - "Do you still talk to the 3 DOORS DOWN guys while you are on the road?" CK - "Yeah, we call them on the phone." MK - "They're hard to get a hold of right now because they are in Europe. When they're in America its easier." RV - "We're friends to the point where we will play Todd's hometown and his folks will come to our shows. They drive all the way from Mississippi to Louisiana." RR - "Are your parents going to go see 3DD when they play in Canada?" CK - "They haven't met my parents yet... I mean, my dad would go..." RR - "When you appeared on Farmclub, did you meet any other bands on the set? Or did you hang in the trailer?" RP - "Not really, well we saw LIL KIM had her entourage...about 20 people." RV - "GOLDFINGER, didn't you get to meet GOLDFINGER?" MK - "Yeah, we had met them at other shows.. that guy, Kelly... that's the guy!" RR - "Are there any bands you have played a show or two with that you would like to tour more with?" CK - "Sevendust" RP - "Yeah, they are a very inspirational band. I would go and watch them every day. They kicked our ass every night..." RV - "Yeah, they were the only band we played with where I would make sure I could get on the side of the stage every night to see them." MK - "They are an example of what a show SHOULD look and sound like." RP - "The Deftones too - we played once with them at a festival in Miami. That would be a really cool tour." RR - "Now, what are you guys listening to while you are on the road?" RP - "There is some great new music around..." CK - "Trunk Full Of Amps... SELF..." MK - "HELMET!" RP - "Yeah, he listens to a lot of Helmet." (pointing at Mike) "We still listen to the DEFTONES, that is such a good album. What else?" (looks around at the rest of the band) "David Gray too - that is a good single." RR - "What is your favorite new NICKELBACK track of the ones you have written since THE STATE?" CK - "Brand new stuff, the newest thing... there is stuff we are working on, on the bus, 3 new songs." RR - "So you have a bunch written already?" RP - "Oh yeah. A bunch demoed and a bunch more written... we are getting ready to roll." RR- "Wow, because I know for a while you have been playing 1 or 2 new songs in your live sets that are not on THE STATE. Last time I saw you play live I heard 'Look What Your Money Bought' but I have not seen you guys play in a while." CK - "We are playing 4 now... 'Look What Your Money Bought', 'Hollywood', 'Hangnail' and 'Where Do I Hide?' " RP - " 'Hangnail' is a good one... and there is 'Slow Motion'. RR - "Do you know what the name of this new record might be?" MK - "We just started thinking about that." RP - "Put a few possibilities on a list and knock em off. Come up with a picture around the name... like last time. We got the picture first (the Canadian independent release artwork) then the name. Lay a few pictures out, you like that image and you come up with a name for it. It's not like the old Iron Maiden thing where there is a theme around the album." MK - "I dont think we'll be doing a concept record anytime soon." RR - "Since we are doing this for the Roadrunner website, what are some of YOUR favorite websites?" (Some smirking again from Mike, so I tell him no porn sites!) MK - (to RP) "Tell the world your favorite website. Tell them!! Yeah!!" RP - " ilovebacon.com " RV - (laughs) "Yeah, that's a good one!" RP - "Its wierd, I stumbled upon it through CFOX, the Vancouver radio station website. Its called ilovebacon.com and its just got... everything!" MK - (laughs out loud) RP - "Its got something new every day... It has nothing to do with bacon. It has a National Lampoon kind of thing. You can get rated-G stuff up to rated-X stuff. It is not gratuitous porn stuff it is art... Just some odd, odd stuff." MK - (looking at CK) "Were you there when i found that other one?... drunken... i think it is called drunkenloser.com and it is just a website where you're supposed to go when you are dead drunk. Because apparently it is hilarious. I dont know - i dont drink. I just went there and they had some ridiculous stuff." RR - "How involved are you with your site and what goes up there?" RP - "We monitor all the stuff that goes up on there. The thing we like a lot is the message board on the site - it is a forum for the fans to talk to eachother, not so much to talk to the band. There is a place for show reviews as well. The answering email takes a long time. We knocked off a ton of them the other night." RR - "What kind of emails do you get? Like that fan letter Chad has?" MK - "No, they're not that single white female stalker stuff, its normal people..." RP - "We have 'ask the crew' and 'ask Chief' sections." (Chief = the band's tour manager) RR - "Oh, I have to check that out. I want to ask Chief questions!" RP - "They ask questions like 'How does Morgan put up with Dawson?' or 'I saw you guys hugging after the show, are you guys gay?'" (laughs) RV - "And one person was like 'I have problems urinating, what should I do?'" (whole room busts out laughing) RR - "OK, my last question for you is... you are on a label with a lot of bands that are very different from you. What do you think of that?" CK - "We saw SLIPKNOT in Boston... that was cool...they are really cool." MK - "Roadrunner bands are some of my favorite bands." RR- "Really?" MK - "Yeah, SLIPKNOT especially." CK - "Every time we tell somebody we are on Roadrunner... Like people say 'What label are you on?' and they're expecting us to say 'Oh, we are on Sony or we are on Universal.' and as soon as we say 'We are on Roadrunner' they are just like 'You're on Roadrunner? Thats SO COOL.' " Nickelback had to run into yet another interview just then... they did that one on video with Live Music Channel and it should show up on the web really soon. One of their other stops for the day was to speak with www.shoutweb.com so you can check that out really soon too. It was great to be able to carve out some time with this 'band in demand' and we hope to catch you up with them some time next year!

Tampa Set to Welcome Saint Leo for Historic Meeting
Published: Jan 4, 2012
Head coach Tom Jessee will meet his wife Nikki Jessee in tonight's game.
The University of Tampa men's and women's basketball teams are set to host Sunshine State Conference opponent Saint Leo University in a contest that will mark the first-ever matchup between husband-and-wife head coaches.
Head coach Tom Jessee's Spartan women will welcome former UT assistant and current SLU head coach Nikki Jessee's squad for a 5:30 p.m., matchup at the Bob Martinez Athletics Center on Wednesday. The game will mark the first-ever meeting between two head coaches who are married to each other.
Tampa enters the contest riding a three-game winning streak as both teams are looking to win their first SSC game. UT enters with a 6-5 overall record and 0-2 league showing after losses to Rollins College and Lynn University by a combined three points. The Spartans are coming off victories over Ave Maria, Southeastern and Grand Valley State University.
The Spartans are led by senior Jaleesa Harmon, who is coming off a career-high 23 point effort in Friday's win over GVSU. Harmon averages 12.2 points to lead Tampa's offense. Indiana State University transfers Moriah Hodge and Illyssa Vivo are also scoring double figures, at 12.1 and 10.9 respectively as Hodge is the squad's leading rebounder with 6.5 per contest.
Nikki Jessee started her Saint Leo coaching career with a record 6-0 stretch to begin the 2011-12 season, but has since dropped five consecutive contests. The Lions are now 6-5 overall with an 0-1 SSC mark following a 56-54 setback versus Lynn University on Saturday. Chelsea Williams leads all Lions with 13.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
Tampa holds a 68-12 record in the all-time series, and are winners of seven straight games against the Lions. SLU will be looking for its first win in the Martinez Center since Feb. 19, 2003.
In the 7:30 p.m., men's game, the 4-7 Spartans will meet the 6-5 Lions as both teams are also looking to pick up their first SSC victory.
Head coach Richard Schmidt's Spartans are looking to continue its winning streak, which has produced two consecutive victories following its NCAA-mandated break. Tampa defeated Brock University (Canada) and Winston Salem State last week at the Martinez Center.
Senior Ashton Graham leads all Spartans with 11.9 points per game as junior Callum Townsend returned to action last week and scored 32 points in two games. Graham is also the team's leading rebounder, at 4.9 per game, while freshman point guard Jon Riles has a team-high 27 assists.
Saint Leo is looking to turn the lights out on a skid where it has lost three of its last four games, including a 74-57 loss to Lynn on Saturday. First-year head coach Lance Randall has two players averaging double figures, led by junior Trent Thomas at 14.2 points per game. Marcus Ruh is averaging 11.4 points for a team that is shooting 46.8 percent from the field as a group.
Tampa owns a 52-11 edge in the all-time series after sweeping the series last season. The Spartans have won four consecutive meetings against its opponent from St. Leo, Fla.
UT will offer live stats for all games through
. Fans may then find the live stats under the Multimedia tab. Tampa will also offer a video webcast for both UT games, which may be accessed through
Both games will be played at the Bob Martinez Athletics Center on the campus of UT. Tickets may be purchased at the gate for $5 (adults) and $3 (students and senior citizens). UT students and faculty/staff are admitted free with a valid campus ID.

Alabama Life - April 24, 2006
By Kathryn Tucker Windham
The Montgomery Symphony Orchestra is wrapping up the season with a double header. Our classical music host David Duff asked about it when he spoke to the general manager of the orchestra. Also, President Bush visited Alabama on April 19. He spoke at Tuskegee University, and we'll hear a little bit from his speech today's program. The Storyteller, Kathryn Tucker Windham, talks about one of her trashy hobbies. And finally, a few items from the APR Events Calendar.

3 Great Cocktails to Make with The King's Ginger
The King's Ginger may have only reappeared on bar shelves last year, but it technically has been in production since the early 1900s, when it was supposedly prescribed as a warming medicinal tonic for King Edward VII. It's a bit more subtly gingery than Domaine de Canton, but it also seems more natural tasting (and less sweet.) More

[Side Pieces & Honorable Mentions] Five Great Moments From Drake At The 2014 ESPY Awards
Drake is surely out to prove that he's more than some old one-dimensional rapper. He's an entertainer.
Last night, with the exception of Stuart Scott's moving speech, and Michael Sam winning the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, Drake owned the ESPYS as this year's host while doing his best to keep the black tie crowd entertained between awards. The gig required him to deliver a 10-15 minute opening monologue where he cracked jokes about the biggest headlines in sports over the past year, while also poking fun at the athletes in attendance. He also starred in a variety of sports-related skits throughout the show where he tapped into his comedy side while showing off his impersonation skills.
There were quite a few moments that had us laughing out loud, but here are a few notables [Videos are included for references ] :
The Lance Cam ( starts at the 8:34 mark)
During the Eastern Conference Finals this year, Lance Stephenson famously blew into LeBron James' ear as a method of distraction. At the end of Drake's opening monologue, he walked into the audience and blew into Lance's ear "out of respect." He also got Lance to do the same thing to his former teammate, Paul George, in something he called, "The Double Lance Cam."
Honorable Mentions (performance)
Drizzy showed some love for all the sports losers, as well as himself for losing a Grammy to Macklemore [Yup, there was shade thrown] in a song called "Honorable Mention." He dedicated the new track, which he said was a part of his new sound, to all the number 2's in the house. He said, "You know the song, 'We Are The Champions?', well this is the B Side. I called this 'The Honorable Mentions.'" Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Colin Kaepernick and the entire Men's US Soccer Team were name-dropped in the song, but the most hysterical moment is when he shouted out Iggy and Nick Young, while claiming they were like a poor man's Jay and Bey.
Drake ft. Brian McKnight – "Side Pieces" (performance)
The charming host also had us howling when he flexed his R&B muscles with a HILARIOUS song called "Side Pieces." He intro'd the song, "I'd like to shout out the players' wives in the house, the players' husbands, the people who are loyal to these athletes. This next song literally has nothing to do with you at all. This song is about the real glue that holds sports together, I called this 'Side Pieces,'" before belting out a slow jam for the sports thots of the world. Brian McKnight even joined him on stage and demanded the side pieces waaaaaay in the back to wave their hands.
Brian McKnight: (sings) "Sidepieces wave your hands with Drake and meeeeee"
Drake: Don't be embarrassed
Brian McKnight: (sings) Sidepieces where you at?
Drake: They are probably in the top balcony
Brian McKnight: (sings) I know you're not down here in front, you're probably way in the back
Drake: They can't even see me
(Sidenote: I had to watch this performance back this morning and it was even funnier the second time around.)
Drake vs. Blake
Blake Griffin showed that he had a funny side as well as he joined Drake in a skit called "Drake Vs. Blake," and the results were side-splitting. The two are co-stars in a movie and can't agree on a name, (Drake would prefer Drake & Blake, while Blake suggests Blake & Drake.) The rest of the skit continues with both of them pulling pranks and mocking each other, and Chris Brown also makes an appearance as Drake's doctor. This may be a start of a bromance.
Favorite line from Drake while he was mocking Blake Griffin: "I think a lot of people are extremely confused about my face. I kind of look like a black guy that jumped into a pit of cheetos and just laid there for a few days and popped up."
Drake Gets A Kiss From Skylar Diggs: "Can I Dig In"?
Drake continued his obsession with Skylar Diggins by sharing with the audience that he wrote a poem for her titled, "Can I Dig In." While wearing her #4 Notre Dame jersey, he delivered lines like, "I'd also love to go from being a Skylar fan, to you are cordially invited to the wedding of Aubrey Graham and Skylar Graham, can I dig in?" Skylar eventually snuck behind Drake and told him that although she is very flattered, this has to stop (She has a boyfriend!). When she asked what would it take to end the madness, he told her, "I want a kiss."
What ensued next was just plain silliness from Drake. (Sidenote: Yesterday, was Skylar's boyfriend's birthday…ouch!)
Bonus: Drake as boxer Manny Pacquiao
Drake starred in a skit as boxer Manny Pacquiao who is trying to embark on a singing career outside of boxing. The problem is, in the skit, he can't sing. His attempt at Manny's accent was hilarious.
Favorite line: When Drake (as Manny Pacquiao) was asked if he was worried about 'Mayweather', he responded "Well to me, it's warmer in July so I'm really not worried about di May weather.
What were your favorite moments from the show?

KGNU (1390 AM/88.5 FM) is a community radio station for Boulder and Denver, Colorado, USA. KGNU is owned by Boulder Community Broadcast Association, Inc.[2]
Programming and operations[edit]
KGNU's programming follows a variety (US Radio) radio format, featuring a mix of music, news and information. Local shows are hosted by volunteers. The station also carries syndicated programs distributed by Public Radio International, Pacifica Radio and BBC World Service.[2]
The station has four full-time staff members, five part-time staff members, and more than 200 volunteers who besides producing and hosting shows, play a major part in the station's operations. As of 2008, KGNU had an operating budget of $675,000, two-thirds of which was raised through listener contributions.[3]
KGNU is a member of the Grassroots Radio Coalition.[4] The station helped found the coalition in 1996 out of its commitment to a community radio model based on volunteers, access to the airwaves and alternative programming.[5]
The idea for starting KGNU stemmed from a class in 1973 at the Boulder Free School called "A Desperate (or Last Ditch) Attempt to Start a Radio Station". In 1975, a core group from the class formed the community radio broadcast association as a nonprofit corporation and applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for an educational broadcast license. KGNU went on the air at 88.5 FM with a 1300-watt transmitter on May 22, 1978.[1]
In 2004, the station raised $1.2 million to acquire a frequency in Denver, which at the time had eight radio stations owned by media conglomerate Clear Channel Communications, ten by religious broadcasters, but no community radio stations. On August 29, 2004, KGNU began serving the city, Colorado's largest, broadcasting at 1390 AM. In 2006, KGNU constructed a studio space at its Denver home at 7th Avenue & Kalamath Street in a building shared with the Open Media Foundation, making access to the KGNU airwaves easier for volunteers in the Denver area. By the Summer of 2009, nearly 25% of KGNU's programming is originating from volunteer producers in the metro area through the Denver studio.[2][6] In the summer of 2010, KGNU was granted permission to increase its FM transmitter power to 4,000 watts.

STILL FOOLIN' 'EM: Where I've Been, Where I'm Going, and Where the Hell Are My Keys? By Billy Crystal. Henry Holt and Co. 288 pages. $28.
Billy Crystal looks back on his life and career in "Still Foolin' 'Em: Where I've Been, Where I'm Going, and Where the Hell Are My Keys?" He writes in such a relaxed style that the reading experience feels more like he's talking about his life and thoughts over a friendly cup of coffee.
The book includes essays about his age or sex, and these sections clearly are designed to be funny. The comedian, 65, delivers numerous chuckles and flat-out belly laughs.
Crystal reflects on growing up, meeting his wife and getting his start in comedy. He provides behind-the-scenes material for some of his biggest career achievements, including the film "When Harry Met Sally ..." and the TV series "Soap." The personal anecdotes resonate, and reading about the ups and downs of his life is inspiring. Just when he gets close to being maudlin, another humorous essay pops up to lighten the mood.
One of the themes in his stories is his age, and it seems at times that he feels like everything is coming to an end soon. But here is a man who pursued his dreams, achieved them and exceeded beyond even his lofty expectations.
Crystal has the charisma, humor and down-home charm that fans have loved over the years. And the love for his family shines through the words.
To quote one of his most famous characters, Billy Crystal, "you look mahvalous."

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina woman who was killed and dismembered is being laid to rest five years after her death.
WYFF-TV reports (http://bit.ly/ZemO1Z) that relatives of 34-year-old Mekole Harris held a memorial service for her on Sunday in Greenville.
Clarence Jenkins is serving a life sentence for killing Harris, then cutting off her hands and feet and leaving them as blackmail at the home of another woman who was involved in a three-way relationship with the couple.
Jenkins' wife, Carmen, was sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Fingerprints were used to identify Harris' severed hands and feet, found April 7, 2008, in black plastic bags at two homes about a mile apart. Police say there was no connection between Harris and the other woman.

FDA Developing New Risk and Benefit Perception Scale
Since 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has increased its presence and tightened its control over medical device companies, and this trend is expected to continue through at least 2016.
Earlier this month, FDA released its 2012 medical device enforcement data, which evidenced:
I. Quality System Inspections and Warning Letters on the Rise
In 2008, FDA conducted 2271 facility inspections. By 2012, that number had risen to 2748 – a 37 percent increase overall.
During those 2748 inspections of 2012, FDA made 4243 observations, the most common of which were:
While overall document control and retention observations were only found in 11% of all observations, the number of observations related to the maintenance of a device history record (a record that includes dates of manufacture, quantity of manufacture, quantity released, acceptance record, label, and control labels) increased significantly between 2011 and 2012 (173 observations to 190).
The increased number of inspections led to an unsurprising increase in the number of warning letters issued:
The most frequent warning letter violations centered on CAPA violations (32% of all warning letters) and P&PC violations (30% of all violations). Similarly, there was a noticeable increase in warning letters related to design history document retention issues (51 warning letters). Also noted by the FDA was an increase warning letters related to P&PC-related process validation violations (49 warning letters).
II. Foreign Facilities Are Taken to Task
While overall numbers showed a rise of routine quality system surveillance inspections of 37 percent, foreign facilities alone experienced a 93 percent increase, and a disproportionate amount of violations. That is, while foreign firms accounted for 300 of the 2748 inspections (10%), they accounted for 66 of the 164 warning letters (40%).
FDA attributes this fact to not only increased focus, but improved site selection, with enforcement spread equally between Europe and Asia:

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder, currently sidelined with a groin injury, has reportedly been the subject of interest from other clubs after forcing his way into the first-team picture at Upton Park this season.
Uddin hailed the England Under-21 international as an exceptional talent but insisted West Ham could face a fight to retain his services if he continues his recent progression.
"Looking at the depth of our squad another striker is probably necessary but look at players like Ravel Morrison this year," Uddin told skysports.com. "I think he's been unbelievable, I've watched him a few times at Upton Park and he's been special.
"I mean looking at the way our season has gone, that has to be the shining light.
"I hope we can keep hold of him and he can continue to play at the standard he's playing, but if he does, we'll have the big clubs at the end of season trying to take him off us."
Despite reaching the semi-final stage of the Capital One Cup, West Ham have struggled for league form, winning just once in their 12 last matches - a run which has seen them plummet to 19th in the table.
But Uddin remains confident that Sam Allardyce's men, who drew 3-3 at home to West Brom on Saturday, can overcome a number of injuries to key players and improve their league standing.
"At the moment we're suffering a little bit from luck," Uddin said. "If we had (Andy) Carroll fit, and (Stewart) Downing, (Matt) Jarvis and (Joe) Cole all remained fit, we'd be in a lot better place.
"We just need that rub of the green but if you look at the bottom of the league, there are quite a lot of clubs that are down there and finding it quite difficult.
"Fulham, Palace, Sunderland, Cardiff are all down there so it makes it exciting but I'd rather be a little bit higher in the table.
"But it is what it is and the gaffer and the club are doing the best they can with the players they've got.
"I know we can do it but it's about being positive. When things aren't going very well, it's easy to implode but West Ham will not do that.
"There's too much strength and character there. Allardyce has seen it all before and he's done it all before."

Double duty furniture
Having a small-sized house is convenient when it comes to cleaning and maintaining it, but space does become a concern. With less space in the house, there will be less room for both guests and storage. The good news for such households is that there is double duty furniture to help resolve such space matters. The furniture is designed to offer dual functionality, like an adjustable coffee table.
Another piece of furniture that can double up to provide another function is the ottoman. A coffee table ottoman is a versatile piece. You can sit and relax with your ottoman by putting up your feet and then you can also use the ottoman as a table, placing trays and coffee mugs on it for guests and yourself. These ottoman tables are unique because they often come with storage space within which gives you extra space for your books and magazines and even your pillows and throws.
If your house or room lacks space or there is not enough room for your guests, then don't fret. Sofa bed chairs are the solution to your space crisis. These bed chairs are designed to serve as chairs when not being used as a bed. These are great if you don't have a guest room or have a lack of space in your office or apartment. Sofa bed chairs are a versatile piece that makes a lot of room in the home.
Having furniture that can double up for something else is a must to have at home because you never know when it can prove to be a saving grace.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Land of Israel is a special, sacred place for those who believe in the Bible. Like the ingathering of the Jewish people into the land of Israel, the restoration of the land itself is the unfolding of prophecy.
When Israel's restoration began, the land was largely barren. Today it is fully of lush green forests lovingly planted by the Jewish National Fund. There is still much work to do. What better way to participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel than by planting a tree.
Partner with the JNF to complete the reforestation of the Promised Land.
Groups of Jews from Latin America plant trees in Israel, after visiting the sites where their people were murdered during the Holocaust in Poland. First they saw how the Nazis tried to destroy the life of the Jewish people, and then they flew to Israel to plant trees and celebrate Israel Independence Day with crowds of Israelis.
Every year, youth from all over the world participate in a powerful program called "March of the Living." The groups are flown from their home countries to visit a number of death camps in Poland where millions of Jews were annihilated. The experience culminates with a 3-kilometer silent march on Yom HaShoa (Holocaust Remembrance Day) between Auschwitz and Birkenau.
The trip continues as the participants are flown to Israel. After spending a week learning about the destruction of the Jewish people in Europe, they are surrounded by Israelis celebrating freedom and independence. During their time in Israel, groups of March of the Living participants from Argentina, Cuba and Venezuela planted trees in the Nachshon Forest near Jerusalem at the KKL-JNF planting center.
Spontaneously, in a moment of joy and thanksgiving, the group of 150 Argentinean Jews broke into song as they prepared to plant trees. They were singing Shehechiyanu, the blessing said on a Jewish holiday, or when performing certain commandments like sitting in a sukkah or lighting Hanukah candles, or in this case, planting a tree in Israel. Members of the Cuban and Venezuelan communities joined in the singing.
The tree planting began by reciting the Planter's Prayer in Hebrew and Spanish. Certificates of appreciation were presented to the planters and it was time for the visitors to roll up their sleeves and start their planting project in the Israeli soil. Care was taken so that the roots of the young Arizona Cyprus seedlings were properly covered. After all, they had come a long way to ensure that their trees would grow and flourish and turn into a forest one day.
The Latin-American Department Director for KKL-JNF, Arieh Edelheit welcomed the energetic group to the planting center. Edelheit has also been in Poland for the March of the Living and said he returned from the experience with mixed feelings, but seeing this group ready to plant trees filled him with optimism.
"I can only feel that despite it all "Am Israel Hai"—the people of Israel live," he said. "On this trip we went from pain and the loss of a great part of our nation to this—and look how beautiful it is. Israel is the only place in the world that began the 21st century with more trees than were here in the 20th century."
Many who plant in Israel feel like they are leaving behind a connection to the land. They remember that although the Jewish people may still be scattered throughout the earth, their roots will always be in Israel.
Planting a tree in Israel after their trip to Poland was a very appropriate conclusion to their trip. Everyone involved saw clearly how it symbolizes the continuation of life - new life in Israel.

Easy to build with laser cutting (or with an x-acto knife) and fun to use, you literally "stab" the pencil holder with your drawing/writing stuff! Submitted by DIN 2012, Université de Montréal, industrial design program, for the Instructables Sponsorship Program.
You will need:
1 cardboard sheet of approximately 385mm (15,16 inches) of height and 590mm (23,12 inches) of length. (I found mine in the recycle bin and adjusted it to fit inside the laser cutting machine)
1 4 inches long bolt with a diameter of 3/8 inch
1 3/8 inch nut
1 3/8 inch washer
The illustrator file provided with the instructable for the laser cutting machine (there's also a pdf version
Step 1: Laser cutting
Step 2: Assembly
Stack the 22 cardboard squares on the bolt.
Put the washer.
Put the nut.
Pretty simple isn't it? :)
Step 3: Stab the Stabb-it and twist it!
You can also twist your pencil holder and obtain interesting shapes and have your own little modern art sculpture on your desk! :)

Dolby Atmos: True 3D surround sound (around, above, and below) finally comes of age March 18, 2014 at 1:15 pm
The word 'Dolby' is intrinsically linked with the concept of high-fidelity sound. If you're old enough, you will remember when Dolby was synonymous with an awesome button on your car or home stereo that reduced the noisy hiss present on all audio cassettes. Today, while Dolby still does a lot of work in the area of noise reduction, consumer attention long ago shifted to Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround. And now, it's time to shift your focus once again to one of the most exciting audio technologies I've seen (heard) in recent years: Dolby Atmos.

When you're spending 24 hours at the ocean anyone love to fish, not really try combine the pair of them in one outing? Fishing from the beach will only be different in scope from river or lake fishing as my way through the gulf or ocean is better. Beach fishing, or surf fishing, isn't much distinctive from the lake since are not too far from shore.
Today perfect for you . adult education courses supplied by public schools, colleges, churches, synagogues, organizations, museums, galleries and private institutions, you can study almost that thing. Learning in itself is a wonderful hobby, but more importantly, it might introduce you to many other exciting activities and interests to pursue in earth. The old adage, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks," isn't true. The problem is that diet program us "old dogs" just don't make an effort. Put forth the effort you may learn anything you want and today, the contemporary you learn the easier it might be.
I started as found on the interwebz with regards to a year ago now, to get to mention that it is really the most fun sport that I. I have done a lot of different sports including downhill mountain biking, BMX, snowboarding, skateboarding, hockey, volleyball, basketball, fishing, wakeboarding and a lot more too, thus i have sensible of what's available! Spear fishing is actually so much fun because it's a challenge, but very beneficial. It's also great exercise and doesn't cost mother nature to find themselves in either.
Adventure gifts include experiences such as, scuba diving, sky diving and rock moving your way up. You can provide him an adventurous bundle for these experiences that they can cherish for years. All you require to do is make an adventure plan regarding his friends although it an unexpected. Give him this surprise on his birthday and take him to sky diving resorts on tomorrow. He merely love this memorable working experience.
Have you ever considered away on a deep-see fishing trip? Regarding any majority of people, fishing doesn't enter their minds when they dream about adventure trips. However, when happen to be in the guts of the gigantic blue ocean fishing is often a different exhibit. Not only have you usually wrestling a bigger fish, you're also along with the areas of the underwater. Anything is possible, out with a ocean. Type of of fish you even consider catching from the deep sea will a person to select your point curiosity. On the opposite hand, a person don't desire, undertake it ! also determine the area according towards climate and "home base" scenery. One hallowed destination for deep-sea fishing is Hawaii.
Of course the Sims 2 Castaway is not 5 star game in doing my opinion, it might still had some fun aspects of computer that I enjoyed. I enjoyed the mini games in between actual hands per hour. Hunting bugs and sear fishing are 2 of the mini games that I enjoyed playing over and again.
It's not really that it is definitely an awful game, but it isn't a great game. High definition tv its advantages and it personal cons. I like the game and can learn myself picking it up every now and then, but seldom.

Past Guilds
Major guild history, post-TBC announcement:
- Arisen (GM Synapse) (Officers Xcyot, Sin, Blender) was one of the first guilds to form on Durotan. As time passed and members started to bail off, the GM and officers eventually disbanded Arisen. Arisen for most of the time on Durotan, had many horde firsts.
- Aspire, an alliance guild that was a year old, disbanded on December 12 2006.
- Eon, an alliance guild, disbanded in December 2006. They reformed into Monolith under new guild leadership.
- The Nightcrawlers (GM Himmelweiss), the 2nd raiding guild on Durotan and always trailing Ebon Order with regards to progression, disbanded during AQ40.
- The Nightcrawlers was reformed under the leadership of GM James and officers Cz and Nikitabanana. Illumination passed Ebon Order in progression by registering server first kills of Ouro and C'thun, and continued to register all server firsts in Naxxramas until their departure to Turalyon due to server lag around the time of Naxxramas.
- Ebon Order, the dominant Alliance raiding guild for the majority of their existence disbanded mid Naxxramas. Atreus, their GM, transfered servers (to Afterlife on Cenarius) and disbanded the guild, however he did announce his intentions and properly notified his members. Ebon Order held most server firsts during their time on Durotan (Illumination had Ouro, C'thun, and all Naxxramas encounters first).
- On Thursday, January 4th, 2007 Durotan was given free character transfers to a new PvE eastern realm, Arygos. 4 other servers (Eonar, Duskwood, Icecrown, Draka) were also allowed to transfer. The transfers were scheduled to close on Tuesday, January 9th. Multiple horde guilds including Last Resort, Fallen, The Grubs, and Elysian left the server, accompanied by a handful of alliance.
- On Friday, April 20th, 2007 Durotan's most progressed guild, Defiant, left the server to merge with another endgame guild on the Ysera server. Ironically Grand Marshal Daddybigbuk (formerly known as Daddybigbuck) Returned to Durotan from Ysera's guild that same day. Defiant's merger left many members stranded on Durotan who then formed the guild Synergy.
- On Saturday, April 21st, 2007 Many members of The Highbourne (an endgame guild on Durotan) Formed a new guild called Unity. Unity is lead by Nomisad and is focused on level 70 end game raiding.
- On Friday, April 27th 2007, Remaining members of The Highbourne merged with Domination to form the new guild Kindred. Kindred is focused on 25 man raiding end game content.
- On Saturday, April 28th 2007, Evos disbanded his guild, Unieashed. (In-game, the "i" was seen as a lower-case "L," as the letters in the game's font are indistinguishable.)
- Remaining members of Ebon Order later reformed into a guild called Meridian, which dissolved into another new guild, Reborn.
- Remaining members of Illumination on Durotan formed Wasted Epics.
- Reborn and Wasted Epics merged to form Hype, meant to be one of the few hardcore guilds on Durotan.
- After internal struggle, members of Hype left to form Dissonance. Hype then merged with Unity and again fell apart.
- War for Territory, one of the smaller guilds, but still powerful guilds of Durotan. Guild progression included Stratholme and Razz in Scholomance.
- Carnicerus establishes the guild Thirteenth Chaos, after power struggles the guild is reformed as Thirteenth Kaos and remains powerful as Carnicerus returns to the guild under the name Roako. Months later, the guild collapses after Roako leaves once more.
- Bloodlust Represent, one of the largest and most influential Alliance 19 twink guilds in the US, resides on Durotan.

Harang Lee posted her second par-or-better round of the spring on Tuesday.
Feb. 25, 2014
NEW ORLEANS, La. --- Led by an even-par 72 from freshman Harang Lee, the Georgia women's golf team posted a 7-over 295 in Tuesday's final round of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate at English Turn Golf & Country Club. The Bulldogs finished 14th in the team field at 891.
Georgia's remaining counting scores came in the form of a pair of 74s from Manuela Carbajo Ré and Rocio Sanchez Lobato and a 75 from Sammi Lee. Amira Alexander's 77 was the Bulldogs' drop score.
"We had five pretty solid rounds of golf today," head coach Josh Brewer. "We're getting the type of rounds that we need for the most part, but when you're playing against a field like this, you have to have someone go out shoot 67 or 68 to make up any ground and all."
Nine top-25 and four top-10 teams were competing against the Bulldogs in New Orleans.
Harang Lee teed off from No. 12 with Tuesday's shotgun start and made the "turn" at 18 2-under after birdies at No. 15 and No. 18. She bogeyed No. 1 to give back one of those strokes but birdied No. 2 to get back to 2-under. Successive bogeys at No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 pushed Lee over par for the first time on the day; however, she rallied with a birdie at No. 8 before closing with a trio of pars.
"At one point today, I think through about 11 holes, we had three people under par and the second-best team score of the day," Brewer said. "I thought we'd played the toughest part of the golf course, but we weren't able to finish it. We have to learn how to go out and finish out those rounds."
Holes No. 4-6 were extremely costly for Georgia, as the Bulldogs covered that stretch 6-over as a team.
No. 2 UCLA captured the team title after closing with a 7-under 291 to finish at 843, six shots better than top-ranked Southern Cal. Auburn's Marta Sanz fired a 4-under 68 to earn medalist honors at 6-under 208, a stroke better than first-round leader Tonje Daffinrud of Denver.
Georgia will return to action next weekend when the Bulldogs participate in the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate at Long Cove Club in Hilton Head, S.C., on Match 7-9.

Our Privacy Policy
Brazil 021 School of Jiu Jitsu was created by Jiu Jitsu black belts Andre "Negao" Terencio and Hannette Staack with the goal of unifying the staff and creating a solid team, not only to train champions, but also good citizens and family members.
The name and logo were inspired by the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The number "021" is the area code for Rio de Janeiro where Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was initially, and most strongly developed. Despite the new name for the team, 90% of the members came from the same lineage.
Many of the members were already black belts who had their own team/gym and trained good students, but represented their names individually. Brazil 021 brought together all these former students, black belts and teachers, with the goal of making them a nationally and internationally recognized team fighting under the same flag.
Our teaching system is based on traditional Jiu Jitsu, as perfected by the Gracie family. Our school offers classes for beginners and advanced students, men, women and children.
The Brazil 021 School of Jiu Jitsu follows the standards of the Brazilian Jiu jitsu confederation for the graduation of students in all its affiliated schools.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, poppy seeds, oil, salt, and egg white. Transfer mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with parchment; roll out dough to an 8-by-12-inch rectangle. Uncover, and cut into twelve 2-by-4-inch crackers using a paring knife. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool.
Pulse cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth. Spread 1 tablespoon onto each cracker, and drizzle each with 1 teaspoon honey.
An unrimmed baking sheet makes it easier to roll the dough. Crackers can be stored at room temperature for up to one week.

Johnson City Commissioner Clayton Stout last week recommended a fairly quick fix that would make Johnson City the major financial contributor to the new Washington County-Johnson City Animal Shelter.
While discussing the 2014 fiscal budget on Thursday, Stout realized the city was getting ready to reap a more than $680,000 debt service reduction that currently is planned to be folded back into the general fund.
"I thought we were talking a lot about our capital projects and I asked about the debt service reduction," he said. "Let's take $160,000 from that and put that down on a $2 million bond issued by the city to help get the project moving. That will help get them moved so development can take place at their current location."
Commissioners Jeff Banyas and David Tomita were not in attendance Thursday, so Stout will wait for their return and bring the subject up again when commissioners hear a second reading of the 2014 budget June 14.
"I think this is the best plan we've had so far," he said. "We could get this thing moving in five to six months. This is an action plan. Ralph (Mayor Ralph Van Brocklin) asked me to retract my motion so that everyone could be in attendance. I've even had people tell me they would get more involved because there is a plan -- P.L.A.N."

Things I would have changed:Terribly inaccurate. Literally awful. At 10 yards I was getting 2" "groupings" and the target clearly showed the pellets "keyholing" (flying sideways) into the target. All other pellet types I use from my Diana RWS 34 Classic in .20 caliber will do at least 1/4" to 3/8" groups at that distance with no special stabilization of rifle.
