I actually made a card – yay! This is made with Lesley's Chic Script Set 4 and the Lace Fragments stamp set and something new for me …. PAN PASTELS!! Yep, I saw the gorgeous creations that some of our Design Team were cooking up and thought I need to try me some of these. I was never particularly entranced by standard chalks, so ignored the PanPastels thinking they were the same, but they're not. I don't like having a gritty work area – I always have to clean up when I've been using embossing powders because I hate that powdery kind of mess. So I originally tried the PanPastels with a bit of a skeptical attitude and lo, I saw the way to Damascus and I'm now a hook, line and sinker convert. (I'm also mixing my metaphors abysmally.)
The special tools do make a huge difference, but I have also had some success with some brands of latex make up sponge. I tried a soft brush and that creates instant dust, so I'll be sticking to the sponges unless I particularly need loose pigment (brushing onto texture maybe?).
I have more exploring to do and I will be sharing the results, but I'm still recovering from last week's little episode, and I'm still playing with Distress Markers and getting to know those too.
Anyway, back to this card … well it's a laser cut chipboard bird cage and birds which I have had for about two years. (We have a similar one, slightly smaller, on the website here). I embossed the cage with Ruby Romance WOW embossing powder and the birds with Sparkling Snow. The birds looked too white, so I coloured them with Copics and then added clear Versamark and added two or three layers of ordinary clear embossing powder over the top.
The printable paper has a dress form on it, but I covered it up with the bird cage so it looks like it is sitting on a pedestal. I inked the edges of the paper with Distress inks before sticking it down.
The background card is where the PanPastels come in. I stamped one of the lace stamps onto my 8×8 inch backing card with Versamark and gently patted Turquoise PP over it. I mixed in a touch of Phthalo green, then once the stamped image was mostly coloured, I rubbed the sponge over to colour the background too. It is unbelievably quick to create a smoothly blended background and a quick buff with kitchen towel takes off any excess and you're done.
I positioned the panel top left to show off the pretty lace pattern and it's finished very simply with a punched sentiment.
So I currently have two enticing sets of products sitting on my table waiting for more play time – the Distress Markers (waiting for more stock) and the PanPastels. I'm enjoying what I've seen so far, but hope to get a chance to study them in more depth and give you a full report in due course.

Happy New Years, kids!
Hopefully everyone had a good night. Most likely it didn't live up to the New Years Eve standards that are impossibly high and out of control. But hopefully a good time, nonetheless. :)
I know I had a lovely dinner and drinks with my bestie, Laura, who made the trip from St. Louis to hang out for a few days…
After sitting around for 2 hours on Saturday, we finally were able to find a restaurant that didn't require a 3-hour waiting list or spending $150 on a dinner special.
It really did take 2 hours. New Years Eve is a headache and a half.
But we settled on Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba. Which was hardly settling. The plan was to go, put our name on a list, and chill at the bar. However, with a smile and a wink or two, we found ourselves in seats with glasses of wine in our hands in 10 minutes flat.
Not bad.
It was a tapas place, so we split 4 dishes and 2 bottles between the 2 of us and were more than satisfied.
Laura even convinced me to try octopus.Can't say I wasn't adventurous in 2011, eh?
It was surprisingly delicious.
After our long and fabulous dinner, we hopped to and from a few places to celebrate with random friends and found ourselves at home with a pizza in the oven and Three to Tango on the television by 2:00.
Does anyone remember how awful that movie was?!?! However, I will watch any movie with Matthew Perry in it. Over and over if I must. I really love him.
This morning was one of a slight headache, but there isn't one problem pancakes and coffee won't fix today.
I'm welcoming 2012 with carbs, caffeine, and a raised eyebrow.
I'm watching you, 2012. Surely you can kick 2011's ass without much of a fight. It won't be hard.
Enjoy the day off, kiddos. I'll hopefully peel myself off the couch at some point in order to participate in some retail therapy.
So I'll amend what I said earlier- pancakes AND shopping are the answer to any problems I have today.

Open plans - 2 weeks September
Hi guys, I am planning a 2 week holiday in Europe for after September 13th & hoping to find a travel buddy to explore with. I am open to where we go as it is rare I hear of a place that I don't want to visit. I am hoping to stick to 3 major places so that not too much time is wasted in travel. Some ideas I have - Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, Prague, Krakow, Naples, Instanbul but again open to suggestions. I have already visited Rome, Florence, Bologna, Sienna, Pompei, London, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Paris. When I travel I like to enjoy the different culture, eat great local food and see the major sights. I get along with people in all age groups but would prefer to travel with females. Let me know if your interested in discussing more :)

Penzance friends run for poorly Phoebe
Posted: November 25, 2013|
FOUR friends from Penzance made nearly £250 after taking part in their own fun run to raise money for a 12-year-old cancer battler Phoebe Tswei.
Phoebe, from St Hilary, featured on the front of The Cornishman two weeks ago after west Cornwall took the youngster to their hearts and flooded her Facebook page with messages of support.
A range of fundraising events are planned to provide some creature comforts for Phoebe and her family, who will spend Christmas at Bristol Childrens' Hospital while she undergoes chemo'.
And on Sunday four firm friends – including Phoebe's 12-year-old cousin Jamima – ran from the Abbey slipway to Newlyn Green and back to help raise money for a fund in Phoebe's name.
Jamima, from Madron, asked pals to join her in the run and Henry Searle, Josh Stephens and Louis Feldmar stepped up to the mark. All four are pupils in year eight at Mounts Bay School.
Josh's mum Andrea Stephens said: "It's so nice that they've given up some of their time to help such a worthy cause. I'm very proud of them. They've met up with Phoebe a few times but they don't know her well, but when Jamima asked people to take part the boys all said yes."
Phoebe, from St Hilary, is suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia.
A Facebook page set up by her sister Ellie has already thousands of likes and hundreds of messages of support.
Other fundraising events this weekend take place at Penzance Leisure Centre and The Lugger Hotel on the seafront in aid of the youngster, who is a member of St Ives theatre group Kidz R Us.

BRISTOL — There was no stopping a determined Ryan Newman in Wednesday's UNOH Perfect Storm 150 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Making two impressive charges to the front, Newman rolled to his second straight victory at BMS in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Series race.
"I felt we had a better car in practice today than we had last year, but you never know how that's going to play out," said Newman about his fourth career Modified victory. "It's a lot of fun to drive these race cars. "
On the race's opening lap, Newman roared from a fourth-place starting spot to the race lead. Holding the No. 1 position until the first round of pit stops on lap 85, the Sprint Cup star found himself eighth when the race restarted.
It proved to be little of an obstacle, as Newman continued to charge forward in the No. 77 Chevrolet. He retook the lead from Todd Szedegy on lap 128, and powered on for a 15-car length victory over Justin Bonsignore.
"We had to overcome a lot of things," said Newman, a former open-wheel champion in the USAC Series. "Those guys could fire off on the restart, but I let the car come to me. Todd got a little tight there and I drove it underneath him on turn one and passed him."
The race served as redemption for Newman, who crossed the finish line first in a Modified race at New Hampshire in June, only to be stripped of the victory after his car failed post-race inspection.
"That just proves that we can do it," Newman said. "They can take this one back to the R&D center and go through it anytime they want to. The guys made a mistake the last time and we accept that. It's been a tough deal going through it, but this wipes the slate clean."
Bonsignore said he bent the right front wheel on his Chevrolet in an earlier racing incident. Despite the challenges of an ill-handling race car, he made the moves to get to the runner-up spot in the closing laps.
"It would have been nice to have had a chance, but I don't know if we had anything for him," Bonsignore said. "He just had a better car than us tonight. I don't know if Newman was playing with us, but he really had a better car over the past 15 laps."
After battling back from a lap down, Szegedy's Ford stayed in front of a three-way tussle between he, James Civali and Newman for a dozen laps before losing the lead.
"We had a skip in the engine and I was in every single wreck out there," Szegedy said. "Despite that, our car was awesome. I think we had something for Newman, but we just got the car too tight. I could turn the (steering) wheel towards the infield and the car was still going straight. That's how tight it was."
Stomachs were also tight in a race slowed by seven cautions including a rash of multi-car accidents.
Action was slowed the first time for a five-car pileup on the race's third lap. Only five circuits later, a four-car wreck involving Andy Petree, the former Dale Earnhardt crew chief and ESPN analyst, brought out a second caution.
The most serious accident, however, came on lap 43, when the No. 71 Chevrolet driven by Corey LaJoie cut a left front tire and slammed head-on in the wall between turns one and two. LaJoie, the son of two-time NASCAR Nationwide Series champion Randy LaJoie, walked away from the accident without any major injuries.
With the Bristol event over, the Whelen Modified Series will split into Northern and Southern Tours for its next events. The Northern Tour will head to Canada for a race on Sept. 4, while the Southern Tour gets back in action Friday night at Caraway Speedway in Asheboro, N.C.

Infinity Ward's highly popular Call of Duty series began solely on the PC as a hardcore shooter with unusually intense military action, but it's since begun to migrate to consoles. The upcoming Call of Duty 3 is currently slated to ship only on consoles, for instance, and soon the PSP will see the first portable iteration of the series with Call of Duty: Roads to Victory, due to hit the Sony handheld early next year. We recently got to briefly check out an unfinished version of Roads to Victory, which will feature an entirely new campaign, multiplayer features, and an increased focus on arcade-style action that--if it works as well as Seattle-based developer Amaze is hoping--ought to set a good precedent for other PSP first-person shooters to follow.
It's no secret that most FPS games on the PSP so far have conjured images of square pegs and round holes, and Amaze has acknowledged that fact. The game will of course offer a variety of control schemes so you can figure out which one works the best--or at least doesn't-work the least--for you, but the developers have accounted for the imprecision inherent in playing FPS games on the PSP by simply requiring you to be less accurate. Instead of making you aim precisely to score a hit on an enemy, the game will give you a generous degree of auto-aim, so you only have to be close, rather than spot on. The level designers have compensated for this aid by ramping up the intensity of the enemy encounters, so while you'll have an easier time gunning down Nazi soldiers, you can expect a lot more of them.
Roads to Victory will let you play as soldiers of three nationalities, as per the series' established formula. According to Activision, you'll take control of "an 82nd Airborne Division infantry soldier, a Canadian First Army rifleman, and an elite British Parachuting Regiment commando," and you'll play through a separate set of missions for each one, out of a total of 13. The game's prerelease documentation goes on to refer to action peppered with "mounted machine gun battles, sniper encounters, and aircraft attacks," so you can expect all the same sorts of encounters you've seen in past COD games.
An ad hoc multiplayer mode will also be available for six players, featuring the same kind of modes you'd expect out of a game like this, such as deathmatch, capture the flag, and king of the hill. On the graphics side, Amaze seems to have faithfully ported the look of Call of Duty (the look of World War II, in other words) to the PSP, from the little we got to see of the game in action, though the level of detail has taken a bit of a hit from the current-gen console versions of the game.
It seems like most of the popular console shooter franchises are slowly making their way to the PSP--in fact, we just posted our review of Medal of Honor Heroes, the other big WWII series to hit the PSP. Will Roads to Victory equal or even top it? We'll find out next year, and we'll bring you more on the game as we have it.

Wide-ranging lectures set for November
An impressive roster of lectures and events, covering topics ranging from religion to politics to bioethics, is set for November on campus.
Among the highlights are:
• A talk by Dr. Neil Schmid, a specialist in Chinese religion and Buddhist literature from North Carolina State University, titled "Journey to the West: The Silk Road Adventures of 19th Century Scholar-Explorers and their 'Objets trouves'" at 4:15 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3 in Room 480, Maginnes Hall. Schmid's talk will focus on scholar-explorers who took to the Silk Road sponsored by governments to participate in what historians refer to as the Great Game: the struggle for control over transcontinental routes from Europe to the Far East. His talk is sponsored by the religion studies department and the Asian Studies program. For more information, call (610) 758-3353.
• A talk by Glenn McGee, the John Balint Chair in Medical Ethics and professor of medicine at the Albany Medical College, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10 in Perella Auditorium. McGee's focus is on ethical, legal and social issues in clinical medicine and biomedical science, and his task has been to show the connections between moral lives, medicine and the biomedical sciences. His books include
The Perfect Baby: A Pragmatic Approach to Genetics
Beyond Genetics
Who Owns Life?
Pragmatic Bioethics: A New Theory on Bioethics
, and
The Human Cloning Debate
. For more information on McGee's talk, which is part of the Chaotic Lecture Series organized by the Office of Graduate Student Life, call (610) 758-4722.
• A talk by Sally Hanley, a Lehigh Ph.D. graduate who produced and directed the documentary film
The Green Bus vs. the White House
, at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16 in Sinclair Auditorium. The talk and showing of the documentary are co-sponsored by the Science, Technology and Society Program and the history and political science departments. The documentary focuses on the last three weeks of the 2002 U.S. Senate race in Minnesota that helped determine the balance in the Senate. That highly contested race pitted incumbent Democrat Paul Wellstone against Republican Norm Coleman, who was handpicked by the White House to unseat Wellstone. Wellstone, his wife, daughter, and three staffers perished in a plane crash a week before the election. For more information, call (610) 758-3350.
• A talk by Dr. Robert Segal, professor of theories of religion at the University of Lancaster, UK, titled "Hollywood Stars as Gods: Myth in the Contemporary World," at 4:10 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 in Room 480, Maginnes Hall. Segal, considered to be one of the world's leading critical commentators on theoretical approaches to the meaning and study of religions, will examine the elevation of Hollywood stars to the equivalent of gods, and the devotion to them as the equivalent of worship. The talk is sponsored by the religion studies department and the Humanities Center. For more information, call (610) 758-3353.
• A talk by Dr. Ebrahim E. I. Moosa, associate professor of Islamic Studies at Duke University, on "Re-imagining Muslim Ethics: Ghazali's Relevance for the Contemporary World," at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 in Neville Hall 2. Moosa's talk will reflect on the life and legacy of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, a man recognized in the Muslim world as an intellectual giant, and will illuminate some of the key ethical issues facing contemporary Muslims in the 21st century. The talk is sponsored by the Ibn Sina Society Arabic Lecture Series. For more information, call (610) 758-3353.

This recipe is a continuation of yesterday's post… aka. my version of cooking once and eating 3 times. Adding some slight variations each time. These spring rolls are what you make with your leftover noodles when you have barely any left. A little goes a long way to filling these things up.
Cook a few mushrooms, slice an avocado, and add some herbs or greens. I would usually make a peanut sauce for dipping but there's no need for that here because peanut-y goodness is already in the noodles. Serve with some ponzu or light soy sauce and enjoy.
- leftover peanut noodles
- vietnamese rice spring roll wrappers
- mushrooms
- basil & mint
- avocado slices
- ponzu for dipping (or ½ soy sauce, ½ rice vinegar)
- Cook the mushrooms by heating a skillet to medium. Add a little bit of oil, then the mushrooms. Cook until browned and soft. Remove from heat, add a little soy sauce, and let them cool to room temp.
- Wrap ingredients in spring roll rice wrappers. 1. One at a time, dip rice papers into warm water for 5 seconds. 2. Remove and place on a clean towel. 3. Place ingredients in the center (horizontally), wrap & tuck the sides, then the bottom flap, and then carefully tuck and roll until closed. Serve with ponzu for dipping.

During menopause, your body undergoes significant hormonal changes. Fluctuations in estrogen levels can influence your emotions and mood swings can become a part of your day-to-day life. These menopausal mood swings can be stressful, upsetting, and difficult to deal with.
However, there are easy and natural ways to combat your menopausal moods. Continue reading to discover vitamins minerals, and herbal medicine to regain control over your mood.
Our primary source of vitamin D is from the sun's ultraviolet rays that promote our body's production of the vitamin. We can also get it from some fish and supplements. Vitamin D helps improve bone strength, regulate the immune system, and improves your mood.
Symptoms of B-5 deficiency are fatigue, chronic stress, and depression. It is important to maintain the level of vitamin B-5 in your body. It is also used for hormone formation.
Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant which supports the immune system and can improve emotional well-being. Oranges, kiwi fruit, and red peppers are particularly rich in vitamin C.
Vitamin B-12 has the most significant impact on mood. Try to incorporate more B-12 into your diet by consuming turkey, tuna, liver, and other meat in your diet.
Vitamin E, found in nuts and nut oils, tomatoes, pumpkins, and mangoes, helps the body maintain a healthy nervous system, which in turn regulates your mental and emotional state.
Zinc has a calming effect on the body and the brain. Oysters, egg yolk, whole grains, and split peas all contain zinc.
A deficiency in magnesium can contribute to depressions and mood disorders. Combat this by eating leafy greens, whole grains, and nuts.
Calcium is one of the most vital minerals, and is crucial for a healthy and functioning body. It is found in milk and dairy products.
Potassium can be obtained through eating cantaloupe, figs, shellfish, and cauliflower. Physical and mental stress can lead to a potassium deficiency, so it is important to consume enough potassium during menopause.
Available in capsule form, evening primrose oil provides essential fatty acids that can help improve both physical and emotional symptoms of menopause.
Ginseng not only has therapeutic qualities, but is a phytoestrogenic herb. When introduced to the body, ginseng mimics estrogen and can help replenish low levels of estrogen that lead to a hormonal imbalance.
St. John's Wort, or Hypericum, is used in Europe to treat premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and is also effective in combating menopausal mood swings.
Ultimately, a mood swing is caused by a hormonal imbalance in the body. The hormonal fluctuation seen during menopause and pregnancy is the primary cause for mood swings during those stages. Click on the link below for more information about treatments for mood swings.

In a sad twist that no one expected, it was revealed that Mark Ruffalo's brother Scott was not murdered, but died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound that apparently occurred during a game of Russian Roulette. Shaha Mishaal Adham, 26, has been released from the Beverly Hills jail where she was being held, and her lawyer insists that she will not be charged with anything. Apparently Adham walked into the scene after arriving at Ruffalo's home to obtain her keys. "This was an accidental shooting by someone that plays with guns," her attorney said. "A series of wrong decisions starting with her not staying at the scene of the shooting caused an incredible chain reaction of stupidity and bad luck."
Our thoughts continue to go out to the family of Scott Ruffalo, who will be buried at a private service this week.

Clothes for the active woman
Are you getting lazy about your workouts lately? Try some new clothes. Yes, really! Wearing an attractive jogging suit or other sporty gear can sometimes be just the motivator to start you off on your routine workout sessions. Feel like a diva with some appealing clothes that help you stay comfortable. Take a look at some options:
Jogging suits are very convenient during winters when you want to exercise outdoors. They're comfy, casual and sporty. Suits with some fluorescent highlights will make you visible even when you're exercising outdoors early mornings or late evenings. With dropping temperatures, it's important to keep yourself warm. Jogging suits with color coordinated jackets and sweat pants with a sleeveless tee will keep you warm and active. You can layer yourself so you can remove outer layers as you warm up. These suits generally have secure pockets to keep your essentials safe.
Roaman's V-neck velour jogging suit has a rich texture and a stylish look. The V-neck tunic has ribbed binding trim, side slits and the pants have an elastic waist. Also check out the Neiman Marcus Sporty jogging suit. It is a two-piece set with a jacket. The jacket has mock neck, front zip, long sleeves and is tailored with seaming at piping both in the front and back.
A sports bra during workout time is absolutely essential. Sports bras help support and protect your muscles while working out. Mizuno women's Colt sports bra offers excellent support to help your active lifestyle. They offer a good fit to enhance your game. The fabric is breathable and keeps your cool with ventilation.
Dress warmly with the right gloves, warm, thick socks, long-sleeve shirts and the proper boots/footwear. Hand warmers like gloves, mittens are a must. Chemical warmers placed inside gloves or mittens can also keep your hands toasty warm during your outdoor exercises. Make sure you wear thick socks and well-insulated shoes with effective ventilation that protect and keep your feet warm and dry.


text: The Rutgers (N.J.) spying case and the Penn State abuse scandal, among others, highlight the liability risks of all types facing colleges and universities. From the other end of the risk spectrum, Tulane University's (La.) long struggle to rebuild and recoup losses stemming from Hurricane Katrina illustrates the complexity of property damage risk management. In an era in which liability risks keep multiplying and natural disasters seem to have grown more intense, general counsels of colleges and universities should ensure that their existing liability policies cover the myriad complex liabilities and losses that they may face. Below are three growing categories of claims colleges and universities should watch out for, the types of insurance that address them, and steps to maximize insurance recovery following a loss. As the Penn State Jerry Sandusky scandal has highlighted, colleges and universities are susceptible to sexual transgression crimes and face civil liability from victims. Penn State faces enormous potential liability. It has been reported that the school spent $17 million on the Sandusky crisis as of June 2012, including $1.6 million on legal defense for others involved in the scandal. In the face of such costly exposure, a policyholder has a few insurance tools at their disposal.

Autism is considered as a very severe condition of the disease, autism spectrum disorder is sometimes considered to be a mild condition while Asperger is a form of autistic spectrum disorder. Their differences are hard to point when looking at the general conditions on the patient. But if you take a look at one symptom at a time you will note that there are small minor changes in this conditions that differentiates them. Running into conclusions can be disasters therefore always enquire from an expert who has handled this problem once.
Speech and language skill is one of the disorders every Autistic and Asperger patient will have. From the infant stage you will note an Autistic child since they will have difficulty in blubbering which is the first stages of speech development of a child. Asperger patients cannot be noted at infancy since their communication skills is not much affected. Asperger patients can only be noted at childhood or adult hood when their language skills have developed. Their problem is long endless speech without meaningful or high speech intonation and loud voice. Asperger patients have a very sophisticated language at young age but changes as they grow.
Their problem is dominance when it comes to conversations or doing certain activities, they can put you into long boring conversations which is mostly one sided. A time they choose to speak to people they are familiar with or they prefer and alienate the others.
The other disorder you should consider is repetitive behavior, an autistic patient will do things repetitive like packing a stack of boxes over and over without getting bored. On the other hand Asperger patients will have a repetitive behavior but theirs is completely different, autistic kids can memories models of a certain objects without interest of what the object does.
Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) children cannot be easily be identified at infant stage of growth since they poses signs of speaking and even develop speech skills well, but sometime later they are lost.

text: Since the DAB (1969) study, a combination of perceptual characteristics and acoustic measures have described different subtypes of dysarthric speech. This work points out the necessity to investigate commonalities and variabilities among various dysarthrias in the dimension of severity of speech involvement. This paper will report results of several acoustic measures for dysarthric speakers with various etiologies and severities of speech involvement, to test the underlying hypothesis that the basic aspects of acoustic features might change as a function of severity, rather than by dysarthria type itself. If the measures are primarily tied to severity, they should not vary much within homogeneous intelligibility groups.

The North Koreans know a thing or two about secret programs, and the country's latest claim is a mysterious phone that allows Dear Leader Kim Jong-il help coach the team from afar.
North Korean manager Kim Jong-Hun reportedly gets coaching advice directly from the country's diminutive dictator via an invisible cell phone.
According to ESPN.com the coach has claimed he gets "regular tactical advice during matches" from Jong Il "using mobile phones that are not visible to the naked eye."
"Jong Il is said to have developed the technology himself," coach told ESPN.com.
While the stealth phone might be the latest of the North Korean leader's inventions -- in 2004 he claimed to have invented the hamburger -- it's just one in a series of oddball details to emerge from the country's first presence at the World Cup tournament in 44 years.
Trying to recreate some of the magic that led them to an historic victory over Italy the in 1966 World Cup, the North Koreans played No.1-ranked Brazil on Tuesday.
While losing to Brazil, the underdogs managed a face saving showing, 2-1 score.
Cameras caught a contingent of North Korean supporters in the stands cheering eagerly, each dressed exactly the same in a red shirt and cap and waving North Korean flags.
It's not certain, however, that any of those flag waving fans were North Korean.
In May, 1,000 Chinese nationals were essentially rented by the government of North Korea to sit in the stands and cheer, according to Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency.
Given that few citizens of the impoverished nation could afford to attend the games, or would be allowed to leave the country, the North Korean Sports Committee gave tickets to Chinese nationals, many of them actors and singers, to attend the event, Xinhua reported.
Additional tickets were sold to Chinese willing to support North Korea, according to Reuters.
In addition to the fans, the team's star player is also a foreigner impersonating a North Korean.
On Tuesday, striker Jong Tae-se became the international symbol of North Korean patriotic fealty when a television camera caught him weeping as the North Korean anthem played before the game. The only problem with that story: Tae-se isn't North Korean.
Born and raised in Japan to South Korean parents, the striker has never lived in North Korea and plays for a Japanese pro team. Each time he plays for the North Korean side, he goes to the North Korean embassy in Tokyo and turns in his South Korean passport for a North Korean one.
When he returns to Japan, he goes back to the embassy and switches passports again.
Nevertheless, North Koreans are proud that at least their coach is one of their own, said Han Park, director of the Center for the Study of Global Issues at the University of Georgia.
"They are proud of fact they did not employ a foreign coach. They didn't spend a dime on that. It is their own knowledge of the game, their own skill," he said.
A mixture of what Han called "the principal of self reliance" and just "not having any money" led the North Koreans to become inadvertent viral video stars.

2 GB RAM just arrived
Woohoo - using my MacBook with 2Gigs of RAM for the 1st time. It's made a pretty big difference to my performance with my default programmes loaded (Camino, Entourage, Parallels, iTunes, Messenger (in Windows under Coherece) and MS Money (also under coherence).
Usually this leaves me with about 20 MB of RAM free and lots of caching. Currently I have 200MB free and almost 800MB inactive and everything is silky smooth. The 2gigs cost $130 in total from Crucial (as opposed to Apple where it's $175 PER STICK!) It's a great upgrade.
Youv'e got me thinking now.....
I just upgraded to 2GB last week, and I also agree that it is MUCH smoother, especially with Parallels running.
If anybody is on the fence on this issue, I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading to 2GB. It's a great investment on an already amazing product :black:
Enjoy the new RAM boost Zoo! Thanks for letting us know about the RAM sale at Crucial!
I just did exactly the same thing, so I can run Wndows 2000 and NeoOffice together for my studies. And kudos to Crucial, too, I've been buying from them for years and their service is excellent.
I've just ordered 2GB of RAM from Crucial, the price has dropped a lot over the last week. I checked the price 2 days ago and it was £82, today I paid £70!! :D I want to start using Adobe CS3 so 2GB should come in handy ;)
My 2GB Kingstons are on its way. I'm running on 1GB now. Can't wait.

After Wisconsin legislature passed a bill declaring December 12, 2012 "Aaron Rodgers Day", Minnesota Vikings fans felt a little left out. Rodgers won the NFL MVP award earlier this month and led the Packers to a 15-1 campaign in 2011.
Jennifer Brilowski, a die-hard Packer fan from Stevens Point, WI started a Facebook campaign urging Wisconsin leaders to make the second Wednesday this coming December a state holiday. Vikings fans are trying to ride the coat-tails of the idea by trying to get a holiday declared in the Twin Cities as well.
Vikings fans are trying to get a bill passed in the Minnesota legislature that will declare December 12th "Percy Harvin Day" in honor of the Pro Bowl wide receiver/return specialist.
"It doesn't feel right that the Packers get a holiday in the middle of the week and we don't." an unnamed source representing the Percy Harvin Day foundation told 10000aches.com. "They shouldn't get any special privileges just because they have a few measly NFL championships and a couple dozen Hall of Famers."
"The Jews have Hannukah, the Christians have Christmas, and the African-Americans have Kwanzaa." a Packer fan at the Mall of America told 10000aches.com. "If Vikings fans feel that they need to make up a holiday so that they can celebrate a day that is truly ours, then so be it."
The Percy Harvin Day bill is expected to enter the House yesterday, and has been projected to pass sometime during the 2017 NFL season.
"There are still a lot of issues with the bill", a Senate aide said. "We are debating where to hold the event and who is going to pay for it."
While Minnesotans are unlikely to get a day off for Percy Harvin Day, they all plan to call into work sick with migraine symptoms.
Tom McNeil, Sean Salisbury, Steve Dils, and Gus Frerotte were also on the balot to be honored on 12-12-12.
Pittsburgh Steelers management has reportedly started planning Terry Bradshaw Day in honor of the 1978 NFL MVP, two-time Super Bowl MVP, and four-time Super Bowl champion.

South Carolina head football coach Steve Spurrier held his weekly teleconference Wednesday morning and spoke about a variety of topics as the Gamecocks prepare for their road trip to Knoxville this weekend to take on the Tennessee Volunteers.
Here are a few notes from Spurrier and audio of today's teleconference:
- -- Spurrier opened by saying this game against Tennessee was a huge game. He said he thought Tennessee had improved after the way they played against Georgia.
- -- Spurrier hopes that the Gamecocks will be ready to play a fired up Tennessee team. He said that the Volunteers are still one of the football powers in the nation based on their tradition.
- -- Coach Spurrier mentioned that he thought Connor Shaw was one of th emost underrated quaterbacks in the league. He says he runs, throws and make first downs for the team with his legs. He said he doesn't do the "stupid" things other quarterbacks do.
- -- He said Shaw is one of the big reasons why South Carolina is 5-1 on the year.
- -- He mentioned that Mike Davis was a good running back and that he hoped he could run well against Tennessee. He said there weren't many for the Georgia running backs.
- -- Spurrier was asked about Antonio Richardson and the matchup between he and Clowney and he said that Tennessee had one of the better offensive lines around. He also added that he hasn't watched much of their offense as he is trying to find some "ball plays" against their defense.
- -- Coach said only time will tell if the defensive woes have been fixed. He said that the Arkansas game got out of hand and the Gamecocks got some good breaks. He said he wouldn't know if they've been fixed unless its done week after week after week.
- -- Spurrier said that statistics are showing that this is the best offense that he's had at South Carolina. He said he thought they have a good balance of the run and pass.
- -- Coach talked about how he said that he helps with recruiting for other teams like basketball and softball for the Gamecocks.

South Sudan's rebel forces loyal to the former South Sudanese Vice President Dr. Riek Machar said that government soldiers with help from Uganda and Sudan's rebels took over Bentiu on Friday and described the situation as a "tactical withdrawal" to circumvent civilian casualties.
The rebels further asserted that their decision to withdraw from Bentiu should not be interpreted as a defeat.
SPLA spokeman Philip Aguer said government troops seized Bentiu on Friday.
"It happened this afternoon at 2:30pm", Aguer told Reuters.
The defected forces also said that Kampala and the rebels of the troubled Darfur region of Sudan are being used by Kiir as "mercenaries", saying Juba does not have ability to crush them
"Our forces made a tactical withdrawal to avoid civilian casualties", Lul Ruai Koang, a spokesman for the rebels' military told reporters in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
"The government does not have the capacity to defeat us militarily", Koang affirmed.
However, Koang added that oil wells in Unity State are still under the control of the rebels.
Uganda's military involvement in South Sudan
Uganda is widely suspected of fighting alongside with forces loyal to President Kiir. Most South Sudanese believe that the Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has chosen Kiir's side.
However, for the first time, two Ugandan military sources who spoke to Reuters News Agency revealed that Uganda is deeply involved militarily in South Sudan current conflict.
"In Bor, our boys have been backing up the SPLA in the latest push to retake it", a Ugandan military officer told Reuters.
"Yesterday [Thursday] our MiGs [warplanes] conducted two bombings there", the officer added.
The new revelation over Kampala's involvement in Juba's affairs could strengthen rebels' claim, perhaps, fuel the conflict.
President Kiir accuses his political adversaries of an "attempted coup". But, senior members of the ruling SPLM party argue that Salva Kiir lost politically and that he chooses to fabricate a 'coup' in an attempt to try to eliminate them.

In its first meeting of the new fiscal year, the Ashe County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council discussed how to allocate $2,119 that had been previously marked for the Ashe branch of Project Challenge.
"The way the legislature was cutting things, I think that was a smart move for us to (put the money aside) as a council," Grier Hurley, chairwoman of the ACJCPC said. "But now we're in a quandary of this $2,119."
The money had been allocated in case the state of North Carolina decided to cut funding to the juvenile community service and restitution program, which has an 11 percent recidivism rate and has expanded to serve 33 of the state's 100 counties. Instead, the state still provided the 23rd Judicial District's program with $13,241, to help with the organization's administrative and overhead costs.
But Project Challenge for this district remains underfunded, after the Wilkes County JCPC withheld $20,000 from the organization's requested amount. Wilkes is supposed to decide in October what they will do with the money.
Worker hours from the district's Project Challenge have been cut because of that decision.
"Project Challenge does a multi-county agreement so what happens in one county affects everybody," Bill Davis, chief court councilor of the 23rd Judicial District said. "That's one of the advantages and disadvantages of doing multi-county agreements."
Alongside Ashe and Wilkes, Alleghany and Yadkin counties are also part of the 23rd district. Hurley said all four counties will have a meeting to discuss what to do with the appropriation money.
The Ashe board is expected to take a vote in September on whether or not to give the money to Project Challenge or to provide it to another organization.
"It sounds like they need (the appropriation money)," Ed Hurst, child protective services intake and investigations supervisor said in the meeting.
In the 2012-13 fiscal year Project Challenge planned to serve up to 25 juveniles in Ashe, but served 45. Over 30 of those were referrals from the Department of Juvenile Justice.
Kathy Weaver, Project Challenge Program Coordinator for Ashe and Allegheny counties said that the organization will only be serving what is in their program agreement – which is 25.
While state cuts did not directly affect Project Challenge, a closure of two juvenile detention facilities could affect where Ashe County sends its delinquents. The detention centers that are closing are in Buncombe and Richmond counties.
Davis said the state legislature specifically targeted the two locations as part of the budget cuts.
Ashe sends its delinquents to the Alexander Juvenile Detention Center in Taylorsville, but after the state legislature closed the Buncombe Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Asheville, there are concerns of overpopulation. Those from Buncombe will most likely go to Alexander, which can house up to 24 delinquents.
"Right now I don't see any changes for our kids," Davis said. "They will still go to Alexander."
In turn, Yadkin County delinquents will now go to the Forsyth County Youth Services Center in Winston-Salem.
"That helps Alexander a little bit, plus it helps our court councilors," Davis said.
Since a two-thirds majority of the council was not at the meeting, votes on April and May minutes, as well as a change in by-laws removing proxy voting did not take place. Eleven members have to be present in order to vote.
The next meeting by the board will take place at noon on Sept. 24, in the Agricultural Services Building.
In other action taken by the council:
• Reviewed the council by-laws, as well as its funding policy and practice.
• Members filled out their annual conflict of interest forms.
• Reports were given by Project Challenge and juvenile mediation for year end results in the 2012-13 fiscal year.

Tortoise Shell Accessories.
Much like my affinity for leopard prints, I love tortoise shell for it's neutral capabilities — it goes with everything. I've been eyeing a whole bunch of tortoise shell accessories lately to update my fall wardrobe — they go perfectly with classic black dresses to wear to work, and look great with casual grey sweaters and tees for the weekends. At the top of my list is that Tuckernuck clutch, I can just envision it at lots of holiday parties this year! And that sweet little bow hair clip is from J.Crew's Crewcuts — perfect for jazzing up a preppy ponytail, don't you think?

The shower dress hunt.
Finding the perfect dress for my impending bridal shower is proving to be a more difficult task than finding a wedding dress! While I almost accidentally stumbled upon my dream wedding dress, I've been on the hunt for weeks trying to find the perfect spring-time party dress to wear to the shower. I think I tried on almost 30 dresses in a post-work shopping session on Monday night and went home empty-handed, so my next step is to some online options from this suite of coral pink dresses I ordered online. I need all the help I can get: which one gets your vote?

Party Pants.
My mailman hates me, for sure, because I've ordered about a dozen dresses that have all been tried on and returned — my hunt has been a disappointment. I've been thinking perhaps I just need to scratch my idea of the perfect holiday dress altogether and try something new this year.Enter some pretty festive pants I've been eyeing — maybe a sharp pair of cropped party pants is just what I need to get me through the holiday season? Would you wear patterned pants in lieu of a holiday dress?

Threat Description
A standalone malicious program which uses computer or network resources to make complete copies of itself.
Automatic action
Once detected, the F-Secure security product will automatically disinfect the suspect file by either deleting it or renaming it.
Detailed instructions for F-Secure security products are available in the documentation found in the Downloads section of our Home - Global site.
You may also refer to the Knowledge Base on the F-Secure Community site for further assistance.
Technical Details
The Sobig worm was found in the wild on January 9th 2003. The worm spreads via email and network shared drives. It also tries to download other files from web pages located on a Geocities site.
Update 2003-04-23 09:00 GMTIt has been reported that the webpage that controls the trojan downloader component of the worm had been updated for a period of time. The page pointed to a location containing a trojan (detected by F-Secure Anti-Virus as Backdoor.Delf.da). At the time of this update, the control page is no longer available.
When the worm is run on a system for the first time it copies itself to the Windows System Directory using the name winmgm32.exe. After this a new value, pointing to this file is added to the registry as
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\WindowsMGM
This way the worm will be started every time Windows starts.
Sobig contains a routine that downloads a text file from a website. The content of the file is used as a URL to download some program and run it on the infected machine. At the time of writing this description this feature is inactive, as the file points to a non-exisiting location.
The worm might affect network printers. In such cases printers might start to print garbage.
Propagation (E-mail)
Email addresses are collected from files with various extensions:
The sender address is fixed, it is always email@example.com.
Subjects are randomly chosen from the following list:
- Re: Here is that sample
- Re: Document
- Re: Sample
- Re: Movies
The message body says:
- Attached file:
The message contains an executable attachment. The attachment name can be one of the following:
- Sample.pif
- Untitled1.pif
- Document003.pif
- Movie_0074.mpeg.pif
The infected emails are sent using the worms own STMP engine that is independent from the users email settings.
Propagation (Local Area Network)
Sobig lists all the network shares available to the infected computer and tries to copy itself to either of these directories:
- Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
- Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
These are the default startup folders for Windows 9x and NT/XP based systems. If the worm is copied there Windows will run it next time the user logs in. This way the system gets infected.
