Antoninus Pius (Latin: Titus Fulvus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius;12 born 19 September, 86 AD – died 7 March, 161 AD), also known as Antoninus, was Roman Emperor from 138 to 161. He was a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty and the Aurelii.3
He acquired the name Pius after his accession to the throne, either because he compelled the Senate to deify his adoptive father Hadrian,4 or because he had saved senators sentenced to death by Hadrian in his later years.5
Early life
Childhood and family
He was born as the only child of Titus Aurelius Fulvus, consul in 893 whose family came from Nemausus (modern Nîmes).6 He was born near Lanuvium7 and his mother was Arria Fadilla. Antoninus' father and paternal grandfather died when he was young and he was raised by Gnaeus Arrius Antoninus,3 his maternal grandfather, reputed by contemporaries to be a man of integrity and culture and a friend of Pliny the Younger. His mother married Publius Julius Lupus (a man of consular rank) suffect consul in 98, and two daughters, Arria Lupula and Julia Fadilla, were born from that union.8
Marriage and children
Some time between 110 and 115, he married Annia Galeria Faustina the Elder.1 They are believed to have enjoyed a happy marriage. Faustina was the daughter of consul Marcus Annius Verus3 and Rupilia Faustina (a half-sister to Roman Empress Vibia Sabina). Faustina was a beautiful woman, well known for her wisdom. She spent her whole life caring for the poor and assisting the most disadvantaged Romans.
Faustina bore Antoninus four children, two sons and two daughters.9 They were:
- Marcus Aurelius Fulvus Antoninus (died before 138); his sepulchral inscription has been found at the Mausoleum of Hadrian in Rome.10
- Marcus Galerius Aurelius Antoninus (died before 138); his sepulchral inscription has been found at the Mausoleum of Hadrian in Rome.10 His name appears on a Greek Imperial coin.
- Aurelia Fadilla (died in 135); she married Lucius Lamia Silvanus, consul 145. She appeared to have no children with her husband and her sepulchral inscription has been found in Italy.11
- Annia Galeria Faustina Minor or Faustina the Younger (between 125–130–175), a future Roman Empress, married her maternal cousin, future Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius in 146.6
When Faustina died in 141, Antoninus was greatly distressed.12 In honor of her memory, he asked the Senate to deify her as a goddess, and authorised the construction of a temple to be built in the Roman Forum in her name, with priestesses serving in her temple.13 He had various coins with her portrait struck in her honor. These coins were scripted 'DIVA FAUSTINA' and were elaborately decorated. He further created a charity which he founded and called it Puellae Faustinianae or Girls of Faustina, which assisted orphaned girls.1 Finally, Antoninus created a new alimenta (see Grain supply to the city of Rome).
Favor with Hadrian
Having filled the offices of quaestor and praetor with more than usual success,14 he obtained the consulship in 120.1 He was next appointed by the Emperor Hadrian as one of the four proconsuls to administer Italia,15 then greatly increased his reputation by his conduct as proconsul of Asia, probably during 134–135.15
He acquired much favor with the Emperor Hadrian, who adopted him as his son and successor on 25 February 138,16 after the death of his first adopted son Lucius Aelius,17 on the condition that Antoninus would in turn adopt Marcus Annius Verus, the son of his wife's brother, and Lucius, son of Lucius Aelius, who afterwards became the emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus.1
By this scheme, Verus, who was already Hadrian's adoptive grandson through his natural father, remained Hadrian's adoptive son through his new father. The adoption of Marcus Aurelius was probably a suggestion of Antoninus himself, since the former was the nephew of the later's wife and would be his favorite son.
On his accession, Antoninus' name became "Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pontifex Maximus". One of his first acts as Emperor was to persuade the Senate to grant divine honours to Hadrian, which they had at first refused;18 his efforts to persuade the Senate to grant these honours is the most likely reason given for his title of Pius (dutiful in affection; compare pietas).19 Two other reasons for this title are that he would support his aged father-in-law with his hand at Senate meetings, and that he had saved those men that Hadrian, during his period of ill-health, had condemned to death.6
Immediately after Hadrian's death, Antoninus approached Marcus and requested that his marriage arrangements be amended: Marcus' betrothal to Ceionia Fabia would be annulled, and he would be betrothed to Faustina, Antoninus' daughter, instead. Faustina's betrothal to Ceionia's brother Lucius Commodus would also have to be annulled. Marcus consented to Antoninus' proposal.20
Antoninus built temples, theaters, and mausoleums, promoted the arts and sciences, and bestowed honours and financial rewards upon the teachers of rhetoric and philosophy.1 Antoninus made few initial changes when he became emperor, leaving intact as far as possible the arrangements instituted by Hadrian.18
There are no records of any military related acts in his time in which he participated. One modern scholar has written "It is almost certain not only that at no time in his life did he ever see, let alone command, a Roman army, but that, throughout the twenty-three years of his reign, he never went within five hundred miles of a legion".21
His reign was the most peaceful in the entire history of the Principate;22 while there were several military disturbances throughout the Empire in his time, in Mauretania, Iudaea, and amongst the Brigantes in Britannia, none of them are considered serious.22 It was however in Britain that Antoninus decided to follow a new, more aggressive path, with the appointment of a new governor in 139, Quintus Lollius Urbicus.18
Under instructions from the emperor, he undertook an invasion of southern Scotland, winning some significant victories, and constructing the Antonine Wall23 from the Firth of Forth to the Firth of Clyde, although it was soon abandoned for reasons that are still not quite clear.24 There were also some troubles in Dacia Inferior which required the granting of additional powers to the procurator governor and the dispatchment of additional soldiers to the province.24 Also during his reign the governor of Upper Germany, probably Caius Popillius Carus Pedo, built new fortifications in the Agri Decumates, advancing the Limes Germanicus fifteen miles forward in his province and neighboring Raetia.25
Nevertheless, Antoninus was virtually unique among emperors in that he dealt with these crises without leaving Italy once during his reign,26 but instead dealt with provincial matters of war and peace through their governors or through imperial letters to the cities such as Ephesus (of which some were publicly displayed). This style of government was highly praised by his contemporaries and by later generations.27
Economy and Administration
Antoninus was regarded as a skilled administrator and as a builder. In spite of an extensive building directive - the free access of the people of Rome to drinking water was expanded with the construction of aqueducts, not only in Rome but throughout the Empire, as well as bridges and roads -, the Emperor still managed to leave behind a sizable public treasure, of around two and a half million sesterzi.
The Emperor also famously suspended the collection of taxes from cities affected by natural disasters, such as when fires struck Rome and Narbona, and earthquakes affected Rodi and Roman provinces in Asia.
Antoninus was known as an avid observer of rites of religion and of formal celebrations. In 148, he presided over the celebrations of the 900th anniversary of the founding of Rome.
Legal reforms
Of the public transactions of this period there is only the scantiest of information, but, to judge by what is extant, those twenty-two years were not remarkably eventful in comparison to those before and after his reign. However, he did take a great interest in the revision and practice of the law throughout the empire.28 Although he was not an innovator, he would not follow the absolute letter of the law; rather he was driven by concerns over humanity and equality, and introduced into Roman law many important new principles based upon this notion.28
In this, the emperor was assisted by five chief lawyers: L. Fulvius Aburnius Valens, an author of legal treatises; L. Volusius Maecianus, chosen to conduct the legal studies of Marcus Aurelius, and author of a large work on Fidei Commissa (Testamentary Trusts); L. Ulpius Marcellus, a prolific writer; and two others .28 His reign saw the appearance of the Institutes of Gaius, an elementary legal manual for beginners (see Gaius (jurist)).28
Antoninus passed measures to facilitate the enfranchisement of slaves.29 In criminal law, Antoninus introduced the important principle that accused persons are not to be treated as guilty before trial.29 He also asserted the principle, that the trial was to be held, and the punishment inflicted, in the place where the crime had been committed. He mitigated the use of torture in examining slaves by certain limitations. Thus he prohibited the application of torture to children under fourteen years, though this rule had exceptions.29
One highlight during his reign occurred in 148, with the nine-hundredth anniversary of the foundation of Rome being celebrated by the hosting of magnificent games in Rome.30 It lasted a number of days, and a host of exotic animals were killed, including elephants, giraffes, tigers, rhinoceroses, crocodiles and hippopotami. While this increased Antoninus's popularity, the frugal emperor had to debase the Roman currency. He decreased the silver purity of the denarius from 89% to 83.5% — the actual silver weight dropping from 2.88 grams to 2.68 grams.2431
Scholars place Antoninus Pius as the leading candidate for fulfilling the role as a friend of Rabbi Judah the Prince. According to the Talmud (Avodah Zarah 10a-b), Rabbi Judah was very wealthy and greatly revered in Rome. He had a close friendship with "Antoninus", possibly Antoninus Pius,32 who would consult Rabbi Judah on various worldly and spiritual matters.
In 156, Antoninus Pius turned 70. He found it difficult to keep himself upright without stays. He started nibbling on dry bread to give him the strength to stay awake through his morning receptions. As Antoninus aged, Marcus would take on more administrative duties, more still when he became the praetorian prefect (an office that was as much secretarial as military) Gavius Maximus died in 156 or 157.33 In 160, Marcus and Lucius were designated joint consuls for the following year. Perhaps Antoninus was already ill; in any case, he died before the year was out.34
Two days before his death, the biographer reports, Antoninus was at his ancestral estate at Lorium, in Etruria,35 about twelve miles (19 km) from Rome.36 He ate Alpine cheese at dinner quite greedily. In the night he vomited; he had a fever the next day. The day after that, 7 March 161,37 he summoned the imperial council, and passed the state and his daughter to Marcus. The emperor gave the keynote to his life in the last word that he uttered when the tribune of the night-watch came to ask the password—"aequanimitas" (equanimity).38 He then turned over, as if going to sleep, and died.39 His death closed out the longest reign since Augustus (surpassing Tiberius by a couple of months).40
Antoninus Pius' funeral ceremonies were, in the words of the biographer, "elaborate".41 If his funeral followed the pattern of past funerals, his body would have been incinerated on a pyre at the Campus Martius, while his spirit would rise to the gods' home in the heavens. Marcus and Lucius nominated their father for deification. In contrast to their behavior during Antoninus' campaign to deify Hadrian, the senate did not oppose the emperors' wishes. A flamen, or cultic priest, was appointed to minister the cult of the deified Antoninus, now Divus Antoninus.
Antoninus Pius' remains were laid to rest in Hadrian's mausoleum, a column was dedicated to him on the Campus Martius,1 and the temple he had built in the Forum in 141 to his deified wife Faustina was rededicated to the deified Faustina and the deified Antoninus.38 It survives as the church of San Lorenzo in Miranda.42

The only account of his life handed down to us is that of the Augustan History, an unreliable and mostly fabricated work. Nevertheless, it still contains information that is considered reasonably sound – for instance, it is the only source that mentions the erection of the Antonine Wall in Britain.43 Antoninus is unique among Roman emperors in that he has no other biographies. Historians have therefore turned to public records for what details we know.
In later scholarship
Antoninus in many ways was the ideal of the landed gentleman praised not only by ancient Romans, but also by later scholars of classical history, such as Edward Gibbon or the author of the article on Antoninus Pius in the ninth edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica:
A few months afterwards, on Hadrian's death, he was enthusiastically welcomed to the throne by the Roman people, who, for once, were not disappointed in their anticipation of a happy reign. For Antoninus came to his new office with simple tastes, kindly disposition, extensive experience, a well-trained intelligence and the sincerest desire for the welfare of his subjects. Instead of plundering to support his prodigality, he emptied his private treasury to assist distressed provinces and cities, and everywhere exercised rigid economy (hence the nickname κυμινοπριστης "cummin-splitter"). Instead of exaggerating into treason whatever was susceptible of unfavorable interpretation, he turned the very conspiracies that were formed against him into opportunities for demonstrating his clemency. Instead of stirring up persecution against the Christians, he extended to them the strong hand of his protection throughout the empire. Rather than give occasion to that oppression which he regarded as inseparable from an emperor's progress through his dominions, he was content to spend all the years of his reign in Rome, or its neighbourhood.
Later historians had a more nuanced view of his reign. According to the historian J. B. Bury,
however estimable the man, Antoninus was hardly a great statesman. The rest which the Empire enjoyed under his auspices had been rendered possible through Hadrian's activity, and was not due to his own exertions; on the other hand, he carried the policy of peace at any price too far, and so entailed calamities on the state after his death. He not only had no originality or power of initiative, but he had not even the insight or boldness to work further on the new lines marked out by Hadrian.44
Inevitably, the surviving evidence is not complete enough to determine whether one should interpret, with older scholars, that he wisely curtailed the activities of the Roman Empire to a careful minimum, or perhaps that he was uninterested in events away from Rome and Italy and his inaction contributed to the pressing troubles that faced not only Marcus Aurelius but also the emperors of the third century. German historian Ernst Kornemann has had it in his Römische Geschichte [2 vols., ed. by H. Bengtson, Stuttgart 1954] that the reign of Antoninus comprised "a succession of grossly wasted opportunities," given the upheavals that were to come. There is more to this argument, given that the Parthians in the East were themselves soon to make no small amount of mischief after Antoninus' passing. Kornemann's brief is that Antoninus might have waged preventive wars to head off these outsiders.
Although only one of his four children survived to adulthood, Antoninus came to be ancestor to generations of prominent Roman statesmen and socialites, including at least one empress consort and as the maternal grandfather of the Emperor Commodus. The family of Antoninus Pius and Faustina the Elder also represents one of the few periods in ancient Roman history where the position of Emperor passed smoothly from father to son. Direct descendants of Antoninus and Faustina were confirmed to exist at least into the fifth century AD.

The age-old (okay, maybe two-year-old) question has finally been answered — how does one dance to dubstep?
A man has answered the question with a YouTube video of himself dancing to a dubstep remix of Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain."
This guy takes you on a journey through his unbelievable dance skills, dancing to the erratic beat that even the most rhythmic people may have trouble keeping up with.
We all have something to practice for the next few weeks. Actually, we're probably best off leaving the dubstep dancing to this guy.

ing attosecond (10−18 s) timescale, the time it takes an electron to orbit an atom, to the timescale of ≈14 billion years, the age of our universe. Fascination with the passage of time is a fundamental aspect of human endeavor, driving us to attempt to understand our world and indeed our universe.
The relevant timescales for the atomic and molecular processes of interest (see Figure 5–1) cover 19 orders of magnitude—a factor of 10 billion billion. The complex folding of a protein molecule can take milliseconds (ms) (10−3 s) or longer. On the other hand, a millisecond is a very long time for an atomic collision, unless the atoms are cooled to billionths of a degree above absolute zero, as discussed in Chapter 2. The small molecules in the air we breathe undergo collisions with each other approximately every 100 picoseconds (ps) (10–10 s), and they tumble or rotate in space approximately every 1 to 10 ps (10−11 to 10−12 s).

he temptation for diesel users to save a few bucks at the pump by filling up with red-dyed diesel could lead to major fines if they are caught red handed by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
Red-dyed diesel should only be used for agricultural purposes in tractors, combines and other equipment that is typically not used for highway travel.
Clear diesel is used in semitrailers and trucks and has a highway tax of 47 cents more per gallon.
"They put a dye in the red diesel so a person can easily look at it and see if it is legal or illegal," said Iowa DOT Captain Dean House.
If a driver is caught illegally using red-dyed diesel in a semitrailer or truck, the fine is $10 per gallon with a minimum fine of $1,000 for the first penalty by the Iowa DOT.
The individual or trucking company is also subject to investigation by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The IRS reviews fuel records and checks to see what onsite equipment can legally use red diesel. If the fuel usage record does not match up with the equipment, the individual or company is subject to more fines.
In Creston, the new fuel pumps at Farmers Cooperative on Osage Street offers red-dyed diesel for agricultural use and clear diesel for highway use.
Darin Schlapia said the pumps are clearly marked to prevent any confusion for diesel users that need to refuel.
"The pump has a sticker that has road master for the clear and the dyed is called ruby field master," Schlapia said.
He said the pump is also labeled under the price, which should be another indication of the difference in dyed and clear diesel.
Higher temptation
House said the temptation to use dyed diesel is greater when farmers are in the field planting or harvesting, but he added violators typically run on red diesel year round.
"We've caught them all 12 months of the year," House said. "during regular DOT inspections, during special enforcement projects or if we get a report. It is not uncommon for us to get a call and complaint."
The Iowa DOT uses a long, clear tube — similar to a straw — to probe the fuel tank. The officer holds his or her thumb over the straw to trap the fuel and withdraws the tube.
If there is any red tint, he or she then uses a pump to take a sample of the fuel in a sealed container and sends it off for testing.
The reason it is sent off for testing is to make sure the red tint is not from red transmission fluid that is used to clean fuel injectors.
The Iowa DOT also makes random checks at the co-op when farmers are bringing in their crops from the fall harvest.
"They will show up about once a year (randomly) and probe and test everybody's tanks," Schlapia said.
House warned there are no special circumstances that allow road vehicles to use red diesel.
"Sometimes they will put it in if they have an emergency and they are low on fuel," House said. "That still won't work, they can't have it in there."

PGX SS400 Long Putter
The PGX SS400 putter debuts as PinemeadowGolf's first original long putter offering. Great care and attention to detail was taken to ensure consistent performance and feel in a club that can be used in multiple ways. At 48 inches, the SS 400 is a dynamic flat stick that can be belly anchored, chest anchored, side-saddled, or wielded any other way you see fit. Putting is all about feel, and this putter allows you to find what works best for you.
The 410-gram head makes a smooth takeaway and follow through effortless. The two-piece matching grip that clothes the beefy shaft exudes confidence as you stand over the ball. Built with our premium steel straight shaft comes standard on the SS 400 and is specially designed to decrease shaft flex through the stroke, which can be a problem with putters of this length when not accounted for.
The weight distribution of the SS 400 head is focused to the front and the sides to keep the face balanced and encourage over spin to get the rolling toward the hole without skidding. The rear stabilizing "fangs" promote perimeter weighting and provide parallel sight lines to align with. In addition, they double as a ball pick up, because at PinemeadowGolf we always have your back!
- Built at 48" Long
- Includes Headcover

Customer Reviews
Thomas Hunter Jr. rated this product on 05/17/13 Well I won this putter from a contest and asked them to customize it to 32 inches and put a jumbo grip on and they game jumbo Lampkin grip and they did this with no problem. They are very respectful and how you want to make your clubs and the putter is one of the most smoothest rolling putters I have ever used and I had to get this putter again I would most certainly do. Another the putter does is keeps your putts on line and gives sweet ping sound when using a tour style golf ball. I know this putter deserves a rating better than 5.
Pete Chiasson rated this product on 03/15/13 I have been using a long putter from various manufacturers for about 10 years and I really think this PGX SS400 putter is the best of all of them. I think the reason it is so good is due to the alignment system. The two bright green lines on the "wings" seem to frame the chosen putting line and the smaller green line on the top of the putter face makes it easy to get the center of the putter face directly in line with the center of the ball...particularly when you place your ball with a centerline mark directly on the chosen putting line. Way to go Pinemeadows...another great product. And, as always, your staff is the best in the business and provides outstanding customer support from Order through delivery.
Marc rated this product on 02/25/13 Great long putter! I am impressed.

Jobs saved at Britain's last tannery with links to Axminster Carpets
Posted: February 25, 2013|
Britain's last commercial tannery which has been treating sheep skins for more than 200 years at a site in Buckfastleigh has been saved from the axe - securing 20 jobs.

Mr Wiles said: "We are delighted to have completed a going concern sale of the business which has resulted in the continued operation of the sole remaining tannery in the United Kingdom and importantly saves 20 jobs.
He added: "Axminster Carpets Limited, the Company's ultimate holding company, does not form part of this sale and is not currently in Administration."

Syria briefing won't be classified
A select handful of lawmakers were supposed to get a classified briefing on the situation in Syria on Thursday evening, but not enough of them could get to secure phone lines to allow that to happen, a senior Capitol Hill aide told POLITICO.
Instead, the members will get an unclassified briefing at 6 p.m. this evening.
A growing number of lawmakers — including House Speaker John Boehner — have requested more information from the White House on the intelligence regarding the use of chemical weapons and justification for any U.S. military intervention.

Flour Bluff beats Calallen to capture tourney crown
CORPUS CHRISTI - It was a first for the CCISD Little State Team Tennis Tournament on Saturday, with District 31-4A rivals Calallen and Flour Bluff playing each other for the title.
The Hornets took full advantage of their first appearance in the tournament final, as they won six of the first seven matches before holding off the Wildcats, 10-5 at the H-E-B Tennis Center.
Flour Bluff, which also beat Class 5A King, 10-5 in the semifinals earlier in the day, improved to 5-3 this season as its boys and girls won all six doubles matches combined.
"We're excited to win the championship — third place is the best we've ever done," said Flour Bluff tennis coach Steve Bonds, whose team placed fifth at last year's tournament. "This means a lot to our (seven) seniors. I definitely don't mind putting up a Little State first place trophy in our locker room."
Calallen coach Debbie Radford said the Wildcats (3-3) were a bit tired coming into their program's first Little State title match considering they had to play three four-hour matches in beating Carroll (10-1), Rockport-Fulton (11-8) and Gregory-Portland (10-9) in the two-day tournament.
Wildcats No. 6 girls singles player Lauren Lackey, a senior, broke a 9-all tie in that semifinal match with G-P with a 3-6, 6-1, 6-3 victory, which pushed Calallen into the final.
The Wildcats wouldn't be able to overcome the defending 31-4A champion Hornets, however.
"We know we'll see Flour Bluff again during the district season and hopefully in the district tournament final," said Radford, whose team lost in the Little State consolation final last season. "My kids gained so much confidence from what they accomplished in this tournament."
In other Little State tournament matches Saturday, King rebounded to beat G-P, 10-9 for third place and Ray took fifth after beating San Antonio MacArthur, 10-3.

Flu season has officially arrived in Tennessee, with cases of seasonal influenza now categorized as widespread across the state.
The Tennessee Department of Health is urging all residents who have not yet received a flu vaccine to get one now to help protect vulnerable people around them, their families and themselves from the flu virus.
"This is the earliest start to an ordinary flu season in Tennessee since 2003, with seasonal flu now spreading in communities across our state," said Dr. John Dreyzehner, commissioner for the Health Department. "People who are still unvaccinated are at increased risk of getting sick and spreading the virus to others. It's very important for people who are not yet vaccinated to do so now."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week that the vaccine is a good match for the flu strains currently circulating in the United States.
CDC officials caution that the most common strain of influenza now circulating tends to cause more severe cases of illness, particularly among the elderly. Seasonal flu activity is now highest in the southeastern and south central U.S., including Tennessee.
Health officials recommend annual flu vaccination for everyone older than 6 months old.
"With the earlier start of flu activity in Tennessee, we can expect to see significant influenza activity through January or February, and it is capable of lingering as late as May," said Dr. Kelly Moore, medical director of the Tennessee Immunization Program. "It's not too late to benefit from vaccine. But, it takes one or two weeks after being vaccinated for you to be protected, so if you haven't yet gotten a vaccine, don't wait."
Flu vaccine for people of all ages is widely available throughout Tennessee from primary health care providers, walk-in clinics, pharmacies and county health departments.
Children covered by TennCare or those without insurance can get it for just a small administration fee at local facilities through the Vaccines for Children program.
The flu vaccine is especially important for people at high risk for serious illness or death from influenza such as the elderly, pregnant women and young children, as well as health care workers and family and friends of anyone at high risk.
Expectant mothers should be vaccinated during pregnancy to protect themselves and pass protection on to their unborn babies, according to officials with the Health Department.
Officials said the vaccine is the best defense against the flu, but some people who are vaccinated will become ill anyway.
For this reason, it's also important to practice good health habits, such as frequent hand washing with soapy water and covering coughs and sneezes with a sleeve or tissue.
People who are sick should stay home to recover if at all possible to prevent spreading illness to coworkers and others. If someone at high risk of serious illness gets sick with the flu, it is important to contact their health care provider to see if antiviral medication or other treatment is recommended to prevent complications.
For more information on flu vaccine, including a tool to find vaccine providers, visit the Health Department website at http://health.state.tn.us/FluClinic/Default.aspx.

Although I didn't have an opportunity to hear the messages from everyone, I did listen to the last hour of the meeting. I cannot give enough Kudo's to all who have fought for us with CFS for so very many years. It has been the most advanced meeting thus far in gaining interest & recruits from the big dogs at the top of the government programs.
Of course I do plan to listen, in it's entirety, to the meeting from the beginning. God Bless!

Not-So-Short Shorts
8 of 10
While we love the way these knee-length, slim shorts look on models, and how comfy they are to wear, in the real world they can be tricky to pull off. The fit should be tight enough to avoid the mom-shorts look, but not biker-tight, like Rashida Jones' tailored shorts. Vera Wang paired hers with hip-length tops that made for a beautifully elongated torso.

Fourth-tier Yzeure produced an early shock in the Coupe de France last 32 with a 1-0 win over Ligue 1 Lorient.
Cameroon striker Steve Mbida scored the only goal in the 24th minute as Christian Gourcuff's side, who are unbeaten in eight league games, crashed out.
Yzeure's CFA rivals Monts d'Or Azergues also enjoyed an upset win, inspired by their former France international Ludovic Giuly.
The midfielder, who returned to his first amateur club after ending his professional career in 2011, gave the hosts a 55th-minute lead against Ligue 2 Istres at the stadium in Chasselay bearing his name.
Meanwhile, Rennes and visiting Valenciennes battled to a 1-1 draw, but the hosts dug in to win 8-7 on penalties to advance.
Istres' Cheick Fanta-Mady Diarra forced extra time and ultimately penalties but MDA completed a notable upset when they won the shoot-out 3-2, after Bagaliy Dabo and Benjamin Mas both hit the crossbar for Istres.
Ligue 2 Dijon beat Aubagne on penalties after a 3-3 draw which saw them equalise in the last minute of both normal time and extra time.
Joia Nuno Da Costa put Aubagne ahead in the 15th minute and it was the 80th minute before Brian Babit levelled.
Brahim Dridi appeared to have given the hosts victory in the 87th minute, only for Ousseynou Cisse to hit back two minutes into injury time.
Thierry Batret's 114th-minute penalty was also in vain after a third equaliser from Florin Berenguer and the ensuing shoot-out finished 5-4 in Dijon's favour.
Lens required a comeback in the final ten minutes to see off CFA side Avranches 3-1.
The Mont-St-Michel minnows led through Steven Creac'h but Lens turned the game around through Adamo Coulibaly, Deme N'Diaye and a late own goal from Romain Cabon.
Angers were another team to win on penalties, 6-5 over Chambly after a 1-1 draw, while Cercle Athletique Bastia beat La Roche-sur-Yon 3-0 with all the goals coming in extra time.
Pierre Ruffaut scored twice in Moulins' 6-1 win over Magny Renaissance, Niort won 4-1 at Epinal and Caen beat Pontarlier 3-1.
Saint-Etienne's match at Cannes and the game between Jura Sud and Creteil were both postponed.

Classic Cottage Porch
Furniture facing the views makes loungers feel less closed-in on a small deck.
Toronto designer Barb Purdy wanted to spruce up her Parry Sound cottage on the cheap. So, instead of hiring contractors, her husband built the cedar deck himself. They also used discount-store fabric for the cushions instead of buying pricey designer pillows. A railing and bunkie are still to come, but the deck is livable and welcoming already.

The Animation ...
One of the best animes that I've watched in a long time!So right now we're about 5 episodes in. After taking a long break from anime, this was the perfect show to jump right back in. Character Development is going smoothly and at just the right pace. I'm happy that instead of excessive fight and battle scenes, there's more focus on the human experience.
Good story line and just fun to watchit sticks to a good story and if you like mecha warrior type of anime then this is defo a good one to watch.
the anime has high quality drawing
there is a good background buildup for characters and a learning curve for the main character its kind of a adventure/mechawarrior/survival anime
also i have a feeling that we will be seeing some fan service in the future :3

Late last year, Angus T. Jones became the highest paid kid on TV after negotiating a $300,000-per-episode contract with Two And A Half Men. Then Charlie Sheen had to go and call producer Chuck Lorre an "ugly whore," leaving the fate of the show up in the air. We've seen plenty of Jon Cryer since Charlie's meltdown, but 17-year-old Angus—spotted outside Washington-Dulles Airport yesterday—has so far kept out of the fray. Maybe he wants to make sure both sides would give him another crack at that paycheck.
Even if Two And A Half Men doesn't return, residuals from eight seasons of the international smash should leave Angus set for life. And hey! Now Angus gets to cut his hair into something more fashionable than that grody helmet enjoyed by his character Jake Harper. See pics of the child star recluse in the gallery below.

Is the tail wagging the dog?
That's basically how City Commissioners described Washington County's plan to build a solid waste transfer station that will direct refuse and money away from Iris Glen Environmental Landfill and into an alternative site offering the lowest disposal fees.
"The new transfer station would subject the city and county to compete," Erick Herrin, an attorney representing the city, said early Wednesday morning at a special called meeting of the City Commission. "The market has changed, and it's not that easy to restructure the way a landfill operates. The county has always gotten a generous rate at Iris Glen.
"We can't really have the tail wagging the dog at this point," he said. "In a blunt way, the county is saying, 'what have you done for me lately?' The city is trying to say, 'hey, look what you're getting.' We cannot go out and lowball the bids."
With the county receiving bids/proposals today, commissioners on Wednesday unanimously voted to have City Manager Pete Peterson immediately enter into negotiations with Houston-based Waste Management, which operates the landfill for the city.
One possibility being considered is that Waste Management submit to the county a competitive disposal rate for their consideration — a proposal Peterson said could save the county "well into six digits." Another proposal is for the city to expand services to include curbside service county-wide, close or modify convenience centers and remove $1 million from the county's general fund as a contribution for the services.
"In the early 1990s, the city stepped up and made a big decision for Northeast Tennessee," Peterson said. "The city made a huge investment. It was an answer to everyone's problem at the time. If the county does this, in all likelihood it would force an increase in our fees. This is going to be a very difficult task."
The county has a site in mind for a transfer station costing up to $750,000 on Harmony Road between Jonesborough Springs and Fall Branch. County residents would be able to bring waste to the site. It then would be taken by the county to "the least expensive landfill," County Mayor Dan Eldridge said late Wednesday.
"Never," Eldridge quickly replied to the question of whether the county would want to pursue county-wide residential pickup and disposal. "Johnson City owns the franchise, and that would prevent the county from being in that business. Our expectation is that we'll receive numerous bids. However, if Johnson City has a creative solution, we'll be interested in hearing it."
Peterson said the new transfer station would mean those receiving curbside service would be facing higher prices.
"We feel the transfer station is not a good move," he said. "We feel it will ultimately be harmful to the WCUD (Washington County Utility District). If this waste goes somewhere else, it will decrease tonnage at the landfill. They're (county) going to be locked in for 10 to 20 years to cover their expense, and that will come out of their general fund — a fund the city contributes to significantly through property taxes and other taxes."
Vice Mayor Phil Carriger said he was, in his opinion, "disturbed that we're not seen as part of the family."
"If nothing else, the transfer station provides the county with the ability to dispose of its waste at the most competitive cost," Eldridge said. "This is a business decision. And, Washington County is not a party of the agreement between the city and Waste Management. We're trying to accomplish two things: lower disposal costs and minimize our transportation costs."
The city disposes of about 200,000 tons of waste at the landfill each year. About 13,000-14,000 tons come from the county, and several thousand tons come from Jonesborough.
As things stand today, the city's Solid Waste Division picks up residential waste within the county WCUD — which is owned by the city but excludes Jonesborough — at about 6,000 to 8,000 locations and takes that to Iris Glen. The county has five convenience centers, two of which sit on city-owned property. These "bins" are taken to Iris Glen by the county.
When Iris Glen began operating in earnest in 1994, its fees were $22 per ton for waste generated in Johnson City and Washington County, $25 per ton for all waste generated outside Washington County and $12 per ton for all non commercial residential vehicles.
Waste Management performed an unexpected about-face about one year ago when it reduced the landfill's $83, two-ton minimum to a $40.29 one-ton minimum fee which mainly affects the area's "small haulers." Company officials said the offer was made following a public outcry over inconveniences caused when the minimum rate jumped by about 400 percent two months prior.
"This is when the county began pursuing alternatives to the current agreement," Eldridge said.
Today, the "gate rate" at Iris Glen for waste coming from 26 counties is about $43 a ton, according to a company employee. That applies to residential, commercial and "small haulers," whether the amount is 1 pound or 2,000 pounds.

Remodel About to Start at Kitsap Mall JCPenney
Work will start this month on an interior modernization of the JCPenney store at Kitsap Mall.
Improvements will include new carpeting and tiles, improved lighting and updated fitting rooms throughout.
Modernization also will include remakes of the cosmetics, shoe and jewelry departments, according to JCPenney spokeswoman Ann Marie Bishop.
New signs and graphic displays will be installed throughout the store to make it easier for customers to find their way around.
"It will have the look and feel of a new JCPenney store," Bishop said.
Restrooms in the 162,000-square-foot, two-story building were redone last year.
The store opened in 1989.
The Plano, Texas-based retailer is upgrading some of its other stores, too, she said.
In Silverdale, the completion date for the work is set for mid-August. The store will be open during construction, Bishop said.
Of the Silverdale store's performance, Bishop said, "That market is an important market to JCPenney, and our store is doing very well."
JCPenney is one of the nation's biggest retailers, and operates 1,093 stores in the United States and Puerto Rico. Like most other retailers, it is feeling the bite of the recession.
Its fourth-quarter 2008 sales decreased 9.8 percent compared to 2007, while comparable store sales decreased 10.8 percent, according to a company financial report. Its strongest activity was in women's apparel and family shoes, in the southwest part of the nation. The weakest results were in fine jewelry, in the southeast region.
The chain reduced inventories and operating expenses throughout 2008 to weather economic conditions, according to Myron Ullman, chairman and CEO.
