The Risk of Cybersecurity Attacks
With annual reporting season underway, C-suite executives wake to another day and another data breach. Target, Michael's, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Adobe -- the list goes on and on. By now, all companies should appreciate that, notwithstanding the most robust and sophisticated network security, any company is a vulnerable next "Target" for a serious cybersecurity incident, together with the range of negative consequences that typically follows, including negative publicity, reputational damage that adversely affects customer and investor confidence, lost market capitalization, claims and legal disputes, regulatory investigations -- and falling stock prices. In the wake of its high-profile data breach, Target's directors and officers were recently hit on January 29, 2014 with a shareholder derivative action alleging that "Target shares were trading above $63.50 on December 18, 2013 before the news of the data breach and have fallen over 10.5% to $57.60" and that "Target… has suffered considerable damage from breach."[1]
In view of the recent high-profile data breaches, and the pervasiveness of cybersecurity incidents in general, companies are well advised to consider whether their current cybersecurity risk factor disclosures are adequate. Proper attention to cybersecurity risk factor disclosures may assist a company in avoiding a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) comment letter. Even more importantly, proper attention to cybersecurity risk factor disclosures may decrease the likelihood that a company will face securities class action litigation and shareholder derivative litigation in the wake of a cybersecurity incident that negatively impacts the company's stock price -- or, at a minimum, may mitigate a company's potential exposure in the event of such litigation.
The Form 10-Ks that public companies are preparing to file in the coming weeks present a significant opportunity for companies to review and strengthen their cybersecurity risk factor disclosures, and below we offer five tips that companies may wish to consider in reviewing the adequacy of their existing cybersecurity disclosures.
SEC Disclosure Guidance
By way of background, companies must keep in mind that, although existing disclosure requirements do not (yet) expressly reference "cybersecurity," the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance (SEC staff) has emphasized the importance of appropriate cybersecurity disclosures. In the wake of what it termed "more frequent and severe cyber incidents," the SEC issued cybersecurity disclosure guidance,[2] which advises companies to review, on an ongoing basis, the adequacy of their disclosure relating to cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents.[3]
While acknowledging that no existing disclosure requirement explicitly refers to cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents, the SEC's guidance stresses that existing requirements oblige companies to make appropriate cybersecurity disclosures. The guidance states in this regard that a number of disclosure requirements may impose an obligation on registrants to disclose cybersecurity risks and incidents. In addition, the guidance explains that material information regarding cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents is required to be disclosed when necessary in order to make other required disclosures, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
SEC Chairwoman Mary Jo White reaffirmed a company's current cybersecurity disclosure obligations in response to an April 9, 2013 letter received from Senate Commerce Chairman Jay Rockefeller.[4] In his letter, Chairman Rockefeller urged the SEC to "elevate [its] guidance," noting that "[i]nvestors deserve to know whether companies are effectively addressing their cybersecurity risks." In response, Chairwoman White emphasized that "[e]xisting disclosure requirements… impose an obligation on public companies to disclose risks and events that a reasonable investor would consider material" and that "cybersecurity risks are among the factors a public company would consider in evaluating its disclosure obligations."[5] Chairwoman White also highlighted that cybersecurity risk "is a very important issue that is of increasing concern" and stated that the SEC "continues both to prioritize this important matter in its review of public company disclosures and to issue comments concerning cybersecurity."
In its guidance, the SEC staff advises companies to disclose cybersecurity risks consistent with the Regulation S-K Item 503(c) requirements for risk factor disclosures generally, such that the disclosure provided must adequately describe the nature of the material risks and specify how each risk affects the company. The guidance proceeds to advise that appropriate disclosures may include the following:
Although the guidance does not create new cybersecurity disclosure obligations, it is abundantly clear that failure to make adequate cybersecurity disclosures may subject a company to increased risk of enforcement actions and shareholder suits in the wake of a cybersecurity incident that negatively impacts a company's stock price.
The Five Tips
The following five tips may assist companies in reviewing the adequacy of their existing cybersecurity disclosures based on the SEC's disclosure guidance as well as comments issued to approximately 55 companies over the last two years.
Notably, the guidance states that appropriate disclosures may include a description of cybersecurity incidents that are material individually or in the aggregate. And the comments issued to date indicate that where a company states that it has not been the victim of a material cybersecurity event, the SEC nonetheless has requested that the company's risk factor disclosure be expanded to state generally that the company has been the victim of hacking -- regardless of the fact that prior events were immaterial. A few of the SEC comments to date include (in summary form):
You state that you have not experienced a material breach of cybersecurity. Your response does not appear to address whether you are experiencing any potential current business risks concerning cybersecurity. For example, despite the fact you believe you have not experienced a material breach of your cybersecurity, are you currently experiencing attacks or threats to your systems? If you have experienced attacks in the past, please expand your risk factor in the future to state that.
In addition, the SEC's guidance advises that companies may need to disclose known or threatened cyber incidents together with known and potential costs and other consequences. Companies in targeted industries that have not yet suffered a cybersecurity incident (or are not yet aware that they have suffered an incident) should consider disclosing how the company might be impacted by a cybersecurity incident -- even if no specific threat has been made against the company. Below are sample summary comments received by companies based on their particular industry or peer disclosures:
Given that other companies in your industry have actually encountered such risks from cyber attacks, such as attempts by third parties to gain access to your systems for purposes of acquiring your confidential information or intellectual property, including personally identifiable information that may be in your possession, or to interrupt your systems or otherwise try to cause harm to your business and operations and have disclosed that such risks may be material to their business and operations, please tell us what consideration you gave to including disclosure related to cybersecurity risks or cyber incidents.
Considering these five tips may assist companies in minimalizing the likelihood of receiving an SEC comment letter (and possibly multiple rounds of comments) and, even more importantly, the likelihood of lawsuits alleging inadequate disclosure in the event of a cybersecurity incident.

[6] While the majority of the guidance is focused on risk factors, the SEC also advises that cybersecurity disclosures may be appropriate in other areas of a company's filings, including management's discussion and analysis "if the costs or other consequences associated with one or more known incidents or the risk of potential incidents represent a material event, trend, or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to have a material effect on the registrant's results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition or would cause reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial condition."

Kathy Green: I think you were just doing a show to satirize rallies. But, lucky for us sitters up here on Mt. Hugey, it may have inadvertently done exactly what we spend billions of dollars a year trying to do—convince a lot of people to sit this one out.
Prop 8 Trial: Call to Action
Carl Matthes: Those of us who want to see Prop 8 overturned have this remarkable chance to make our voices heard by calling for the trial to be televised in the interest of transparency and accountability. The Courage Campaign Institute, one of the principle organizations working to overturn Prop 8, is teaming up with CREDO Action to collect as many signatures as possible asking Judge Walker to televise the case.

The powerful photographs of a well-known Korean photographer will be displayed in the Tuileries garden near the Louvre until July 23, 2012.
The photographer, who goes by the name AHAE, was born in Japan during the Japanese colonization of Korea in the early 1940s, but his family returned to the southern part of the Korean peninsula at the end of World War II.
Art has always been a part of AHAE's life, and he pursued an education in drawing, painting and sculpture as a youth. His passion for photography began in the 1970s, and since that time, he has built a reputation as a talented photographer.
Now, the Tuileries garden is presenting a special exhibit called De Ma Fenêtre (Through My Window), which will showcase a collection of photographs taken over two years from a single window in AHAE's photography studio. AHAE recorded the events of every day as they appeared through this window, taking between 2,000 and 4,000 shots per day.
In order to present this impressive collection, a temporary 1,000-square-meter gallery was built in the Tuileries garden. There, photographs in very large, large and medium-sized formats will be displayed. These photographs show images of animals, nature, and elements like rain, wind and snow through the eyes — and the window — of this extraordinary photographer.
AHAE has stated that his goal in creating this exhibition was to encourage people to open their eyes and really pay attention to the world around them. Guests of the Hotel de la Tour Maubourg who want to discover AHAE's vision of the world can do so for free by visiting the Tuileries garden.
De Ma Fenêtre / Through My Window
Jardin des Tuileries, 75001 Paris
Every day from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.

Travel arrangements
Travel arrangements must be planned as early as possible (three-week deadline preferably) using an assignment sheet (Form enclosed). Best rail connections must be used when scheduling the organisation of meetings. The Assignment Sheet, duly completed by the Project Manager, must be signed by the staff concerned and the Project Director. The Assignment Sheet shall be copied to the UIC General Secretariat ((Travel Section - NUNES-BENJAMIN Filomena), if travel documents, and particularly train tickets (coupons, passes, etc.) are needed for the person to carry out his/her assignment. For reasons of efficiency, the persons travelling are advised to order their own train reservations, and to involve the UIC Travel Section only in case of difficulty. When travelling is involved (for train journeys lasting over 14 hours), flying may be the cheapest option particularly when the fare payable by UIC is lower than the train fare. The Project Manager, when deciding whether air travel is used, subject to the assent of the Project Director, shall particularly take into account the air fare plus the value of time gained with using this transport system.
Air tickets can be ordered through the Travel Section (include copy of Assignment). When air travel is chosen for a particular trip, the Project Manager must endorse the Assignment Sheet and briefly justify his/her choice, specifying the assent given by the Project Director.
It is reiterated that the air-travel option must absolutely be substantiated by the context of the trip and of the meeting itself. Use of air travel shall be strictly controlled, but when this unavoidable, the original air ticket must imperatively be included with the invoice.
Travel allowances shall be calculated from a table of expenses, except for trips TRIPS Transport Rail Infrastructure Protection Systems within France or to Brussels, where amounts shall be calculated on the basis of real costs for UIC staff. Amounts allotted on the basis of the above table shall allow for the mean residential cost in 2-star/3-star hotels (French standard), meals and sundry expenses per country of destination.
Caution: the assignment sheet shall serve as cash voucher justifying the payment of allowances and, subsequently, the issue of currency. Allowances paid shall be controlled by the General Secretariat. In case of difficulty, the person travelling shall contact the Travel Section of the General Secretariat.
The amounts of the allowances shall be calculated on the basis of time spent away from base to carry out the assignment, with regard to time of departure from and return to base station/airport.
These allowances can be lower when some of the costs are met directly by the railway companies or bodies hosting the meetings.
If the expenses incurred do not exceed the amount of the allowances paid, no proof of expenditure shall be required of the person concerned. However in case his/her expenses should exceed the amount of the allowances, all receipts accumulated during the assignment must be kept. A top-up amount shall only be paid against presentation of supporting documents.
Travel allowances shall be refunded to the railway companies and the different service contractors on presentation of the corresponding invoice.
Travelling by Project Directors
The travel expenses and , if any, the business expenses of Project Directors travelling to the place of execution of a project as part of their remit, shall be charged to the budget of the relevant project .
Travelling by Heads of Mission
The travel expenses of Heads of Mission travelling to the place of execution of the project as part of their remit shall be charged to the budget of the corresponding budget. The Project Manager may not oppose these travelling arrangements and shall be charged the corresponding expenses. The Assignment Sheet shall be endorsed by the relevant Project Director .
The Heads of Mission invited to meetings not directly relevant to the projects in which they are involved, must arrange for their Assignment Sheet to be endorsed by the Project Manager, who shall be charged the corresponding expenses.
In this specific case the Project Manager who authorises the trip shall implicitly accept charging of the corresponding expenses to his/her budget.
The travel expenses of Project Managers must be authorised by the Project Director or, in the latter's absence, by the UIC Secretary General.
Travel by controlling staff
The assignment expenses of controlling staff shall be charged to the budget controlled. These assignments are an integral part of their activities and the corresponding costs shall be charged to the budget controlled. The Assignment Sheet shall be endorsed by the Secretary General.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Police say a motorcyclist has been charged with DWI following a Thursday-night crash in which the motorcyclist collided with a Holiday Tour Bus on I-40 in Greensboro.
According to police, the bus was traveling east on I-40 around 8 p.m. when the motorcycle collided with bus while merging onto the interstate from N.C. 88.
Police say Ralph Michael Taylor, 44, was riding the motorcycle with Tammy Cassell, 45, as his passenger.
Taylor and Cassell were both thrown from the motorcycle.
Police described Cassell's injuries as "class A," which typically require hospitalization. Taylor's injuries were described as "class B," which are not as serious. Neither of the victims appear to have life-threatening injuries, police said.
The bus driver told police he tried to avoid the collision, but couldn't.
Police say Taylor is charged with DWI and driving with a revoked license.
The 51 passengers on the tour bus were returning to Greensboro from a day trip to Virginia as part of a Aycock Fellowship Ministries trip. Nobody on the bus was injured.
Holiday Tour Bus is based in Randleman.

Ok, inspired by This topic here originally posted by MerrillC1977 I did some tweaking and came up with a very lovely "artisan" type bread that I'm quite proud of This is great if you can tolerate oats, which have not been a problem for me. (I've been gluten-free since Dec. 2009) I bought Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, and ground them myself in a coffee grinder to make flour. It's sooooooooo much less expensive that way! It was $6.99 for nearly a kilo of oats, and it made enough flour that I can make quite a lot of bread!
* 1 Tbsp. yeast
* 1 Tbsp. Sugar (I used coconut sugar)
* 1 � cups warm water
* 1 3/4 cups of Gluten-Free oat flour
* 1 cup of flax meal (I used Webber's from CostCo)
* 2 tbsp chia seeds (1 to make a "chia egg" 1 to add to dry ingredients)
* 2 tsp. xanthan gum
* 1 tsp. salt
* 2 large eggs
* 3 tbsp water
* 1 � Tbsp. oil
* 1 tsp. Lemon juice
1. in a "pinch bowl" or measuring cup, put 1 tbsp of chia seeds, with 3 tbsp of water, and let sit for about 15 minutes until it is "gummy" (this is a "chia egg")
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the yeast and sugar, and then add the water while gently stirring. Let this mixture sit while you mix the rest of the ingredients � bubbles and foam should form if the yeast is good.
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the oat flour, flax meal, 1 tbsp chia seeds, xanthan gum and salt; mix well.
4. In a third bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, chia egg, and lemon juice until it�s all a bit frothy.
5. By this point the yeast mixture should be foamy, so you can pour the two liquid mixtures into the flour mixture.
6. Blend the dough with the regular stand mixer attachment for about 4 minutes on a low/medium speed, scraping down the sides once or twice.
7. Scoop the dough into a greased loaf pan. (Using a spatula sprayed with cooking spray helps this process along greatly - the dough will be sticky). Allow it to rise in a warmed oven for 1 hour. (while you're mixing the dough, turn your oven on to 400F for one or 2 minutes, then turn it off). Mine didn't rise very high at all, only a little above the pan, but after it was baked, it turned out nice and soft on the inside. Perfect
8. Bake at 375 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
This was really nice after it cooled a while and just sliced with some butter on it. It's a nice dark colour, with a bit of a nutty flavour from the flax. It's also high in fiber, and healthy Omega 3s from the flax and chia. If you're looking for something less carbby than store-bought gluten-free bread, this'll certainly do it!
Many many thanks to MerrillC for the inspiration! I couldn't have done it without you!

(a' nak) HEBREW: ANAQ
A race of giants called the Anakim traced their ancestry to Anak, the son of the Canaanite Arba, founder of Kiriath-Arba (the city
later known as Hebron). *Hebron, the land Caleb received for his inheritance, is the focus of contemporary land conflict between
Palestinians and Jews, and is much in the news
Anak's descendants were conquered and displaced by Caleb, one of the scouts whom Moses had sent decades earlier to spy out the
land of Canaan.
Giants like the Anakim were also known as Nephilim, thought to be superhuman progeny of the sons of God and the daughters on
men cited in Genesis 6:4.
{E2 Dictionary of Biblical People}
The Hebrew word "Hebron" is derived from the Hebrew word for "friend" (haver), a description for the Patriarch Abraham, who was
considered to be the friend of God. The Arabic "Al- Khalil" — literally "the friend" — has a nearly identical derivation, and also
refers to the Patriarch Abraham (Ibrahim), whom Muslims similarly describe as the friend of God.
Hebron, which rises 3,050 feet (926 meters) above sea level, has a long and rich Jewish history. It was one of the first places where
the Patriarch Abraham resided after his arrival in Canaan. King David was anointed in Hebron, where he reigned for seven years.
Religious Significance
The Cave of Machpelah, or Tomb of the Patriarchs, is the world's most ancient Jewish site and the second holiest place for the
Jewish people, after the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The cave was purchased by Abraham as a burial place for his wife Sarah some
3,700 years ago, along with the trees and field adjoining it, the first recorded transaction of a Hebrew buying land in Canaan (Genesis
23). Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Rebecca, and Leah were all later buried in the same place. These are considered the patriarchs and
matriarchs of the Jewish people. The only one who is missing is Rachel, who was buried near Bethlehem where she died in childbirth.
Muslims believe that Joseph is also buried here, though Jews think he was buried in Nablus.
The building covering the cave was constructed roughly two thousand years ago by Herod. The 40-60 foot high walls are similar to
those of the Temple Mount. Since Herod's time, the structure has been used by foreign conquerors as a shrine to their own religions.
Thus, the Byzantines and Crusaders transformed it into a church and the Muslims converted it a mosque. About 700 years ago, the
Mamelukes conquered Hebron, declared the structure a mosque and forbade entry to Jews, who were not allowed past the seventh
step on a staircase outside the building.
The tomb of Isaac (WZO)
The structure is divided into three rooms: Ohel Avraham, Ohel Yitzhak, and Ohel Ya'akov. Presently Jews have access to Ohel
Yitzhak, the largest room, only 10 days a year. The tombs are all underground. The visible parts are covered with tapestries and
cenotaphs. A 700-year-old stained-glass window adorns the tomb of Jacob and Leah, which are in an adjoining courtyard opposite
the monuments to Abraham and Sarah.
Though Israel regained control of Hebron in 1967, the Cave of Machpelah has remained under the authority of the Muslim Waqf
(Religious Trust), which continues to restrict Jewish access. No visitors are allowed inside during Muslim prayer times, Fridays or
Muslim holidays.
At the time of Abraham, the Canaanite town in this place was known as Kiryat Arba. The name was later changed to Hebron (Joshua
14:15). Today, Kiryat Arba is the name of a suburb of Hebron, five minutes from the Cave of Machpelah and the heart of the city.
Established in 1971, Kiryat Arba was the first renewed Jewish community in Judea and Samaria. Today, Kiryat Arba is home to
more than 6,000 Jews who have a reputation for being among the most zealous defenders of the idea that Jews have a right to live in
the West Bank. The town has educational institutions from pre-nursery school through post-High school, modern medical facilities,
shopping centers, a bank and post office.
Israel's Wars with the Giants (Cont.)
Before the Israelites renamed it Hebron, the Anakim called it Kiriath Arba, or City of Arba, in honor of their forefather, Arba. He was
a great hero of the Anakim.112 In time, Arba's overgrown children grew so numerous that they were able to possess much of
southern Canaan. These giants divided into three clans. They were ruled from Hebron by Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, descendants
of Arba,113 but Hebron also had its own king (Joshua 10:37).
Standing 3,040 feet above sea level, this fortified city overlooked a shallow, fertile valley surrounded by rising hills. Through it ran
the main highway connecting Jerusalem and parts farther north with Egypt, the Negeb, and the coastland. Joshua therefore viewed
Hebron's capture as having both a strategic and a morale-breaking importance; strategic because it was the most southerly road-
crossing center of the highland system; and morale-breaking because, as the principal mountain stronghold of the Anakim, its
downfall would further demoralize the natives. At Joshua's command, the Israelites stormed Hebron, drove out Ahiman, Sheshai, and
Talmai, slew its king, and put all its huge occupants who could not escape to the sword.
Following the battle at Hebron, the invaders struck out across the Negeb toward Debir (modern Dhaheriyeh). It stood as a frontier
town between the hill country and the Negeb, some eleven miles southwest of Hebron. Excavators say it rivalled Jericho in size. And
in earlier times it apparently had been a seat of an old Canaanite culture, for it was known both as Kiriath Sepher ("City of Books")
and Kiriath Sanna ("City of the Scribes"). In Joshua's day, however, many Anakim giants occupied the city. Here no trees grew, so
Debir, being located on a higher elevation than the surrounding bald hills, became visible to Israel's marching legions from a long way
John Garstang says the protecting walls that confronted the Hebrews here "were for the most part about ten feet thick, but attained
in places to as much as thirteen feet, and these were further strengthened on the outside, in characteristic fashion, by a sloping
revetment of stonework. In detail of construction this masonry was less massive than the contemporary work of Shechem or Hattin,
but is comparable with much of that of Jericho."114 In his excavations, the archaeologist also found clear evidence of a time when
Debir thrived as a center for culture and learning--until its overthrow by the Hyksos from Egypt about 1550 B.C. But when the city
was rebuilt, he writes, it "showed indications of relative poverty: the houses were poorly built and departed by open spaces
containing grain pits. In this period the derelict fortifications of the earlier period were restored, and the east gate was entirely rebuilt,
on the same general plan."115
When this fortress-city of the giants fell to them, the Hebrews slew its king and all who were unable to escape. Garstang mentions
mat the ruins at Debir yielded evidence of an overthrow like what he saw at Jericho. "The destruction of the city (at Level C)," he
adds, "was accompanied by a terrific conflagration, and by the complete demolition of the fortifications." 116
After this great slaughter, the Hebrews marched on Anab. In earlier times, another people occupied this city. But the Anakim giants
assailed it, wiped out its inhabitants, and made it their possession. Anab, the name of which still survives today as Khirbet Anab,
stood amid the Judean hills, only a short distance from Debir. After breaching its walls, Israel's legions totally demolished the city
and put to death all its giants. After this, the Hebrews likely cleared a number of giants out of the "Valley of the Rephaim" southwest
of Jerusalem.117 Also about this time they probably slaughtered the remnant of the monstrous Awim, who lived at nearby Avvim.
Then they captured Jerusalem, or at least that part of it that was known as the "lower city." Despite their greatest efforts, however,
they were unable to dislodge the Jebusites from the "upper city." These few but determined people occupied the narrow plateau of
Mt. Ophel, just southeast of Jerusalem. Bounded by the Kidron, Tyropoeon, and Zedek Valleys, Jebus encompassed no more than
eleven or twelve acres. But because of its bold rock escarpments, the small city stood as an impregnable bastion, and "not to be taken
without great difficulty, through the strength of its walls, and the nature of the place."118 And, indeed, it was not taken until some
four centuries later, in the time of David. When Joshua attacked it, some Horim giants supposedly lived among the Jebusites.119
Except for several pockets of resistance, like this one at Jebus, much of southern Canaan now belonged to the Hebrews.120 So
Joshua ordered his legions to invade the north country. We have no way of knowing how many giants the Hebrews fought in these
latter campaigns, for Joshua, who kept careful records of his battles against the Anakim in the south, now devoted much less time to
the chores of journal-keeping. Concerning the northern giants, he penned the briefest summary, noting only that the Anakim occupied
"all the hill country of Israel,"121 meaning all the territory later allotted to the ten northern tribes. He also barely mentions the
Rephaim--and then only in connection with a complaint by Ephraim and the half-tribe of Manasseh. That complaint came after the
tribes had received their land allotments. Feeling that they had not gotten a fair shake, the sons of Joseph grumbled that their
allotment was not sufficient for their great numbers. So Joshua told them: "If you are so numerous, and if the hill country of Ephraim
is too small for you, go up into the forest and clear land for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of Rephaites."122 The
Perizzites, whom some scholars also identify with the giant Horim,123 lived in the vicinity of Shechem. A large clan of the Rephaim
occupied a territory just north of them, with their settlements extending perhaps as far as the Valley of Jezreel. The children of
Joseph apparently took Moses' advice and destroyed or drove out all these giants, for afterward they occupied that land.
Against the northern cities Joshua waged war a long time. But while they were thus occupied with the conquest of upper Canaan, and
bent upon cleansing it of the giants, the Anakim who had escaped the Israelites' swords during their earlier sieges in the south later
returned and reoccupied Hebron and Debir, cities that were assigned to Caleb. Consequently, after the land was divided by lot among
Israel's twelve tribes, some men of Judah, with Caleb at their head, returned to the south country and again came against these places.
An account of Caleb's renewed campaign against the giants who reoccupied Hebron appears in Josephus histories. After telling what
great difficulty the people of Judah faced in their long siege against Jebus, or upper Jerusalem, he relates that they removed their
camp to Hebron to assist Caleb against the Gibborim there. "And when they had taken it," he adds, "they slew all the inhabitants.
There were till then left a race of giants, who had bodies so large, and countenances so entirely different from other men, that they
were surprising to the sight, and terrible to the hearing. The bones of these men are still shown to this very day, unlike to any credible
relations of other men."124
After retaking Hebron, Caleb proceeded southward to the re-occupied Debir (i.e., Kiriath Sepher). Upon reaching that place, he said
to his chief men: "I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher."125 Quick to
volunteer, Othniel, a son of Caleb's younger brother, advanced with his men into the city, slew all its defiant giants, and retook it. So
Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
With Caleb's recapture of Hebron and Debir, Israel's seven-year campaign against the giants and Canaan's other inhabitants came to an
end. Their many victories put the Hebrews in control of much of the country and broke the once awesome military power of its
people.126 But the legions of Israel failed to exterminate or drive all the other pagan trespassers off God's land, as they had been
commanded. Even a few cities remained untaken.127 Had they done as well in dispossessing all the other Canaanites as they had the
giants, later Hebrew history may have followed a much different and less tragic course. But after seven long years of intense fighting
and much gore, the Hebrews grew weary of war. So, assenting to their plea, Joshua gave them rest from war.
Even though these few places of resistance remained throughout the country, Israel's men of war had at least accomplished their
major objective--to cleanse God's land of the Gibborim. That this cleansing was complete we learn from our chronicler. In his final
summary of the campaign, he wrote: "Then Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron,
from Debir, from Anab and from all the hill country of Judah and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them
with their cities. There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod some remained."
128 But these giants who survived Joshua's campaigns and fled to the Philistines on the coast, or to Africa and other countries, were
so few that they never again posed a serious threat to the children of Israel. (See Abraham and the Giants; Canaan's Anakim; David vs
Goliath Jericho's Giants; Sihon's and Og's Overthrow)

Toledoans pay tribute to MLK Jr. at memorial dedicationWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. – More than four decades after his death, Martin Luther King Jr. is still a larger-than-life symbol of hope, freedom and change in the minds of millions of Americans.
Thirty-five Toledo area residents took a weekend bus trip to Washington, D.C., joining tens of thousands of others who flocked to the capital Oct. 16 to honor that legacy and witness the dedication ceremony for the recently unveiled four-acre, $120 million Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial.
Among the dozens of speakers and performers were President Barack Obama, King's children, Rev. Al Sharpton, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Tommy Hilfiger, poet Nikki Giovanni, actress Cicely Tyson and many others.
The memorial, the first on the National Mall to honor a black leader, features a granite statue of King standing with his arms folded, emerging from a "Stone of Hope" and gazing across the tidal basin toward the Jefferson Memorial. A thin entrance path through a granite "Mountain of Despair" represents the struggles King faced in the pursuit of social equality and peace. The memorial also features two inscription walls filled with King quotes.
"It's honoring a historic person," said trip member Lisa Griffin, who called the experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "He made the way for colored people to do a whole lot of things."
"He had a dream that changed our lives," her daughter Marlydia King added.
It was the first visit for both to Washington, D.C.
Trip organizer Michael Huggins said the day was moving, exciting and uplifting.
"I think everybody enjoyed it. I can't wait to take it back to Toledo and share it," Huggins said. "I think the youth that went down fulfilled the legacy they had heard on King. I could see it on their faces. They were really excited. I think we all got what we were looking for."
Ben Williams, a longtime local coach and educator and executive director of Ben E. Williams Youth Services Inc., was also instrumental in organizing the trip.
His daughter, Leah Williams, who rode the bus to Washington, D.C., said her father shares King's passion for equal rights.
"It was important to him that the accomplishments of Dr. King be recognized and that there be people, especially young people, from our community there," Williams said.
Former Toledo Mayor Carty Finkbeiner addressed the group before the bus departed, telling riders they were on their way to celebrate one of the most respected individuals ever to walk and talk on this earth.
University of Toledo freshman Allaina Peraza, a history buff who plans to major in African-American Studies, said it meant a lot to her to be there for the dedication.
"I have freedoms that, when my grandmother came up from Mississippi, I wouldn't have had," said the 18-year-old Peraza, who recently register to vote for the first time. "It's just a symbol of freedom. I was looking forward to seeing it this whole week."
Verna Anthony of Toledo treated herself to the trip as a 70th birthday present.
"I have been waiting on this and waiting on this and waiting on this," Anthony said. "1968 until now has been a long time, but we finally got here. Eventually I knew it was going to get here; I was just hoping I'd be here to see it. I wouldn't have missed this for anything."
Anthony said the best part was seeing people of so many different backgrounds celebrating harmoniously.
"This is like the United Nations here," she said. "This is just a prelude to equal opportunities for everybody. It's not as good as no color to be seen, but it's getting there. It's just so beautiful."
Eight-year-old Laraya Parker made the trip with her father Larry Parker Jr., uncle Paul Parker and grandmother Mildred Parker, who said the trip was an opportunity to witness history and be part of the future.
"It was great," Laraya said.
Her father described King as a monumental and influential leader.
"Like the speakers said, this has been a long time coming, but we've still got a long ways to go," Larry said. "A lot of the speakers were comparing today to then. They didn't have GPS to get here then, but people showed up by the thousands. It shows how great a leader he was."
Toledoan Josh Fowler said watching the dedication made him proud and he hopes sentiments expressed during the ceremony will be carried out upon everyone's returns home.
"I think the trip proves people can unite for a common purpose and a common cause, but it's still vital to sustain that unity," Fowler said. "Oftentimes trips are over and we just wait on the next trip. I believe it's time to step up to the plate and exude the characteristics of this trip and what it represented, to be active in the community and raise social awareness."
Others with Toledo connections were also at the event.
Toledo native Erika Manuel came to Washington, D.C., with a group of students from Tennessee State University in Nashville, where she is a senior.
"Not a lot of people get memorials in their names, especially African Americans," said Manuel, a Woodward High School graduate. "I can't even imagine living in a time when people say I'm not good enough because I'm black or a female. I challenge things like that. I don't know if I would have been as peaceful as Dr. King, so I admire him for that."
Kristin McMillan was at the ceremony with a group from Morgan State University in Baltimore. The Cincinnati native attended UT for two years before transferring.
"Martin Luther King means freedom to me," said McMillian, who wanted to come so she can one day tell her children she was at the historic event. "He showed the way."
The dedication was originally scheduled for Aug. 28, the anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech, but was postponed due to Tropical Storm Irene.

Round-up: Make Up For Ever Artisan Eye Brushes
Make Up For Ever Artisan Brushes
Now that I've concluded my reviews for Make Up For Ever's new Artisan Brush range, it's time for a round-up (in case you missed any) and a few overall impressions/thoughts. I like the variety in brushes, as there are numerous shapes and sizes to choose from, though I was very disappointed in the crease brushes I tried as they weren't practical for applying–very sharp, floppy, and narrow. Often, a brush can still be of high quality, even if it's not a shape that makes sense for me (or someone else), but these were incredibly odd to use and just didn't work. I also experienced a weird greasiness/oiliness that lingered in 4 of the 12 brushes I tested that would not rinse out with soap, despite washing all at least a dozen times. This is something I experienced with the face brushes, too, and it is the number one factor for why all the excitement about this range was deflated very quickly. I liked the #250 and #260 eyeliner brushes best, as they worked well and didn't have any issues. The #300 Lip Brush was also nice and did all that it was supposed to, but it's not a style of brush I use every day personally–and it doesn't feel any better (or worse) than a lot of other lip brushes on the market.

Guillard | "I'm Gonna Be Champion At 155" | UFC NEWS
Lightweight star Melvin Guillard comments on his possible rise to the 155 lb. title.
In speaking with Mike Fleig, of buddhasport.com, Guillard believes it is just a matter of time before he is crowned the champion at 155 pounds.
When asked If he would ever consider switching weight classes Guillard's response shocked a few of us in the MMA world.
"Not really. I'm content with what's going on. You know you just have to keep working hard and keep training and keep on getting better. The more time I put in it just puts me closer to my goal and that's being the champion. I believe I can be champion at 155. There's no point for me to run to another weight class, I'm gonna be champion at 155."
35 Responses to "Guillard | "I'm Gonna Be Champion At 155" | UFC NEWS"
BJPENN.com has posted this article 20 times i believe
Maybe he's talking about in Bamma or KOTC cause so way in hell he's talking the UFC. I remember about 5 years or so ago when Rich Clemente tapped Guillard out and Guillard jumped up crying like a blittle bitch Rich told him "go learn some jits Melvin" its obvious he doesn't listen or take advice or learn from all his submission losses. Meilvin landed one lucky punch on Dunham and everyone jumped on his bandwagon and since then he has been nothing but a big disappointment. Dunham beats Melvin 9 out 10 times IMO
Melvin totally dominated Dunham. There was no lucky punch there. I noticed that he was winning when he was at the Jackson camp and since he left he started losing again. Hopefully he's been working his ground game a lot and gains confidence in it. If he gets that part of his game together he can be a force to be reckoned with.
Haha are you fucking high? Melvin is a monster everyone at 155 fears him he's faster than everyone and has hendo KO power. He fucking raped evan dunham that fools a little squirt and he got kneed to dust Melvin would knock his ass out in 10 different ways if they fought 10 times don't joke yourself.
Maybe in Bellator or some other fight league. Never in the UFC at 155. Sorry, too deep of a division. That shit is so backed up thanks to Frankie that even people that deserve a title shot are kept waiting.
The UFC needs to eliminate the 170lb division and add a 165 and 175 pound division. Poor fighters who keep on waiting and waiting for title shots that might even get scraped. Atleast they know that they have another option in their future if shit happens.
They could call it Super Lightweight the former and welterweight the latter.
They need a super heavywieght div before that.
Pretty much. Alot of fighters are having setbacks due to waiting for title shots which they cant so they lose a fight before the title shot in order to stay active. If the UFC wants to trample boxing, they need to add more divisions. My 2 cents
They need to make a junior-welterweight class at 160lbs and a cruiserweight class at 235lbs
They need a lw tournament
Miller fight hasn't humbled him at all. He's been in the UFC for the longest and still hasn't got a title shot, what a crazy roller coaster career. Hope he gets a good fight in soon though.
what a retard. you will never be champ, you suck. You would get choked out by my grandmother
…says the keyboard warrior
Lol +1
Yeah but let's be honest….. your grandmother ain't making 155 !!!!!
He's on the good drugs.
The people right now in the LW division who would sub Guillard before a championship round or have already done so – Nate Diaz, Jim Miller, Joe Lauzon, Thiago Tavares, Mac Dangzig, Cole Miller, Spencer Fisher, and just about anyone who above Purple Belt Jiu jitsu. Guillard is an exciting fighter to watch but continually gets eaten alive by anyone with that skill set.
If he works his ground game then I would think he can have a shot. He has no problem in the striking game but it's his ground game that haunts him all the time.
His striking game isn't all that great either because he is lazy and cocky. Lauzon showed everyone that. Lauzon?
He needs to learn the ground game!!
Why does this guy get any interest from anyone. Everytime I've seen him fight, he gets his ass kicked. Obviously has no chin if joe dropped him, he has no wrestling pedegree, no good on the ground, what is he good at? Punching, oh my watch out 155ers, there's a puncher in your division, how lame. Everyone in the ufc can punch, people need to get off this dudes nuts, please.
He won't be champ of the Parking lot attendants until he learns some submission defense. Put your ego in check and put in the work…oh, and Make weight, dipshit.
In what organization?
This is like all the hood rats in north philadelphia talking about chasing that paper and getting rich. Never happening boys!
Lmao no Melvin you will never be champ. Your a choke artist. You work your way up n come close to the title shot then you get tapped. Entertaining fighter as long as you are better than your opponent but if they can challenge you in any area at all of MMA you lose every time. Your the ultimate gate keeper. Plus when u do lose you always have some excuse and try to take away.from your opponents victory. Sorry Melvin but you'll never be champ of UFC.
Melvins high again! Puff puff give…….. U crazy
Seriously.. y'all are full of shit..
This kid is dynamite.. once he gets his Jitzz game in order which i'm sure he's working on HARD, he will crush just about anyone in the division. He took a couple of sub L's and he needed those. He needed to get humbled, get off that high horse and re-evaluate the way he channels his energy. It's wont happen in 2012 but he will at least fight for the belt in 2013. Not saying he'll GET IT.. it depends who's holding it at that time (probably still Bendo or Pettis) but he'll either get it or get close. I put money on that.. anyone with deep pockets hit me up!
This kid sucks along with your sense of judgment of a fighter. This kid has been fighting for year and only have beaten tomato can opponents. He has never once shown any improvement and I suspect he with blame some one else like Greg Jackson for his failures as a fighter.
delusion of grandeur,,,, move along kid, you has terrible technic, you"re always winded, you don't listen to corner instructions, you don't improve on your skills, make cry baby excuses for loses, and you are a misfit. Move on to some other fight league, tired of seeing this guy in the UFC.
Just as soon as he learns to defend against a guillotine, everyone will star submitting him with triangles. His cocky-ness and early success have contributed to his downfall. Even if the UFC doesn't cut him, I'm happy to watch him get choked a couple of times a year.
i won't say its impossible but there is no way i'm betting money on that statement.
Melvin is clearly talented and extremely athletic, the problem is the 155lb division is the most stacked in the UFC and he is way down the list of contenders right now. i very much doubt he will ever be LW champion in the UFC. I put at least 5 guys ahead of him right now.
Melvin is the fastest and hardest hitter on the feet at 155.His only weakness is submission defense.Thats the only reason hes never had a title shot.He hasnt been beat on the feet yet.very accurate and great takedown defense.He took that Lauzon fight for granted,when there way to cocky and paid for.i believe he took it as a learning experience and will come back with better jits defense.Then he'll be fucken unstopable !

We begin another school year of Golden Apple Awards. The first stop for our surprise patrol is at Rochester's Monroe High School to sneak up on Science Teacher Andrea Tutino.
Andrea has taught Science in the Rochester School District for 13 years. Administrator Pina Buonomo says when a kid leaves her class they don't leave her life. "She always goes above and beyond her call as a teacher to make sure her students are successful."
Andrea visits students at home, gives them rides and school supplies and stays connected with them. Senior Janie Williams asked us to say thank you to Miss Tutino for never giving up on her. "She's a great teacher. She's dedicated to her job. She's there for students always."
So why would a High School Senior still remember a science teacher from eighth grade? "She's still there for me" says Janie.
We walked in on Andrea in the middle of class. Her students screamed! I asked her what it means to her that Janie would write us and say please come and say thank you to my favorite teacher? "It's amazing. It's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me in terms of like teaching. I don't really get shaken up or embarrassed or like I don't know. I'm usually like good on my feet with words and stuff so this is like a huge surprise, so thank you."
Andrea Tutino is a News 8 Golden Apple Award winner. you can read the letter Janie wrote nominating her below.
Dear News 8,
This teacher deserves this more than anything! She sacrifices for any student that needs her help day in and day out. I've never met anymore more dedicated and who loves their job like Ms. Tutino. She has been so supportive of me over these 3 years I've been going to Monroe. She's like the mother I never had. I wouldn't be the person I am if it wasn't for the love, help, and support she has given me in school and in life. She really deserves this more than anyone and anything! Please :)
Janie Williams
Monroe High School Senior

Tony Tyler's address to the 1000 delegates from industry and media who gathered in Miami 7-9 June for IATA's 71st AGM
Press Release No.:
Date: 30 May 2005
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 30 May 2005 (Tokyo) "Air transport is quickly changing to a low cost industry. Value for money, a spirit of continuous improvement and dedication to customer satisfaction is critical throughout the value chain. AirServices Australia, Singapore's Changi Airport and Brisbane Airport Corporation were the industry's best examples of this in 2004. It is a pleasure to present them Eagle Awards for their achievements," said Giovanni Bisignani, Director General and CEO of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Air Navigation Service Provider: AirServices Australia
"A five year pricing agreement with Airservices Australia embraces strong commitments to improved performance, better cost efficiency and continuous improvement," said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA Director General and CEO. "As such this agreement is an excellent model which all other providers should seek to emulate and makes AirServices Australia a deserving winner of its second Eagle Award."
Airservices Australia, IATA and airlines agreed a five-year pricing agreement after a comprehensive and very open consultation process with full transparency of information. It covered all business and operational issues and requirements including future investment, revised cost allocation methodology and the financial consequences of inadequate Government funding of community service obligations. The Australian Competition Commission, the regulator, accepted the agreement.
Airports: Singapore-Changi and Brisbane"Changi and Brisbane operate in different environments with different business models but both demonstrate the spirit of partnership that our industry needs," said Bisignani.This is the fourth Eagle Award for Changi Airport, operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore. Recently Changi airport has taken a number of initiatives to further reduce costs to airline operators and promote growth. Changi continuously also ranks among the best performers in the IATA-ACI AETRA awards for customer satisfaction.
Brisbane is a much smaller, privatised airport. It has achieved strong growth in a de-regulated environment by offering a good consultation process, customer satisfaction and low charges in comparison to other airports in its country.
"We salute the efforts of the three Eagle Award winners and welcome them to the exclusive group of partners who have contributed significantly to the industry's development. Collectively, the Eagle Award winners set the benchmarks for performance, cost efficiency and continuous improvements for others to achieve," said Bisignani.
The Eagle Awards were presented at IATA's 61st Annual General Meeting and World Air Summit in Tokyo on 30 May by Sir Michael Hogkinson on behalf of the independent Eagle Award Panel.
Eagle Award Winners are:

Length: 56.300 cm
Room 49: Roman Britain
The Fulham sword
Roman Britain, 1st century AD
Found in the River Thames at Fulham, London
This is the characteristic sword of the Roman legionary at this period. Only the handle, and the wooden or leather lining of the sheath are missing. Metallographic examination of the iron blade has shown that the cutting edges have been hardened.
The maker has decorated the bronze scabbard plate with embossed motifs. These include the popular Roman motif of the she-wolf suckling the twins Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. Traces of tinning show that the scabbard plate would originally have been a shiny silver colour.

TLC Talks Getting Ripped Off By Pebbles On Their First Recording Contract, Pebbles Responds 'I Am In Shock'
Just when you thought the skeletons of TLC's past were buried in the back of the closet and there to stay, T-Boz and Chilli have dragged them out, just in time for the CrazySexyCool TLC biopic premiere next week. This morning, the duo visited The Breakfast Club in NYC to chat it up about their 20th anniversary album, which is in stores now, as well as the new biopic, but the conversation went a little left when everyone started talking about how LA Reid and Pebbles, who signed and created TLC, did them dirty back in the day with crooked contracts to take all of their money.
DJ Envy started the conversation by saying he hated the formerly married business partners because he's already seen the VH1 movie and couldn't get over how greedy they were. T-Boz and Chilli said that what people will see went down just how they remembered it happening, and went into detail about how they sold over $10 million records but only ended up with $15,000 apiece. They even said they had to buy the name "TLC" from Pebbles at $1 million per letter. That's $3 milli!
On if they exaggerated what happened for the movie
T-Boz: It's not exaggerated. [When we didn't sign our contracts] she cried and she did the whole, 'You don't trust me.' That was true. But she had a tear. Remember the tear? We called it a Demi Moore tear. The thing that is true though, she did do some good for us. She put us together. She taught us some things. But then there's always times when you work with people, there's always things that you're never going to agree with and you don't like their ways. And people part ways, and I don't think that she ever got over that.
On their lawyers, accountants, and contracts
T-Boz: We were in the same firm as them. We had the same lawyer and accountant as them. It was all one big circle. The lawyer gave us money off of our bill because they were like, 'We really didn't think you guys were going to blow up and do what you did.' So he was like, 'I apologize to you.' So it was a conflict of interest from day one. It was so messed up.
Chilli: As a matter of fact, it's calmed down.
On buying their name
We had to buy it. A million dollars a letter. Three million dollars. She want to say she didn't get enough money. *laughs*
On why they didn't walk away at the time
Chilli:It's our dream and most people go through things and at the end of the day you just want to work really and hopefully sell a lot of records so you have the power to change those kinds of things like bad contracts and stuff like that.
T-Boz: But you also want to learn from your mistakes. You don't want to sit in this business. We've been here 20 years and that's two decades but you need to learn along the way and soak up all the information you can because that would be stupid to be our age and still going through the same things. That's not hot.
They also brought up a part in the movie where T-Boz is hospitalized because she's sick, and Pebbles allegedly says that she needs to get it together to perform at an awards show the next day.
T-Boz: She really said, we had an award show, and she really said, 'Well I don't care if we gotta roll her out in a wheelchair, she gon' do this performance tomorrow.' I was like…she knew [I had sickle cell anemia]. If you didn't, you see me crumpled up, delirious and in pain. You know what? Honestly, and this may sound corny, but I don't hate anybody because what I've learned from that, from having a bad dad and ruining my life, is you can't change people. I'm not going to hurt myself and harbor bad feelings and be grudgeful and all that crap for somebody else. I have no hard feelings. What happened, happened. Good luck with your life. I'm on with mine and raising my child.
Chilli: It took me a minute to get there, too. I think Tionne was her favorite in the group. She really did favor her. Lisa and I would just get it in different ways. She was very manipulative. She used to make us feel like one is the favorite and she used to say that to Lisa as well because we talked about it. It was really tough and it took me a long time.
Pebbles caught wind of the interview and hopped on Twitter to call all the accusations lies, saying she has her "lawyers on deck."
I'm NOT here to promote something I put on the MAP and yet have been disrespected by because of more reasons than one! Lawyers on deck. I would say being lied on 4 as long & trying to continue to is sadder. But,the continued slander from all will help prove just what was done. Thank you love. It's not good what they played a part of but it will be dealt with now that the slander continues. TLC without me? No way. I gotta go! Like I said hours ago, have a good one and let's keep it good and classy from over here. I want to see All do well.. Always have.
I am in shock listening to all this mess and lies on this radio interview!!This is madness!!! It's SO hard to believe this! DO NOT believe. Love you guys. Not going to comment about this anymore on here UN officially. Dealing with this though.
Oh, the drama….
Watch the interview in full below:

This instructable is easily adapted to assembly-line processes... Once you have all the jjgs built and materials together, you can whip out bottle after bottle. Total time per bottle is about 10 minutes.
Step 1: Equipment and Materials List
- Craftsman drill press or equivalent (you can do this project with a hand-held drill, but you'll have less control)
- Safety glasses
- Gloves
- Bottle and stopper jigs (See below for materials; instructions included)
- 1/2-inch diamond hole saw
- 5/16-inch drill bit
- 7/16-inch Forstner bit or standard drill bit the same size (the Forstner bit will work best, because it drills a flat-bottomed hole)
- A condiment bottle or other type of squeeze bottle
- A box knife or other sharp cutting tool
- Pliers
- Wine or liquor bottle, with cork or cap
- 12-inch section of wire coat hanger
- A 12-inch piece of 2x8 for the jig base
- 2 12-inch pieces of parting stop or similar material
- 6 1 1/2" wood screws
- 20-bulb string of white or multicolored Christmas lights
- #00 rubber stopper
- Modeling clay
- Goo-Gone brand adhesive removal product
Step 2: Choose Your Wine
Try to choose a bottle with a clean, undamaged label. Colorful labels will give a quasi stained-glass look. Rinse out the bottle and either allow it to dry or dry it out with paper towels. Make sure the exterior of the bottle is clean and free of price stickers or other extraneous labels. Use Goo-Gone or other adhesive removal products to clean up the outside of the bottle.

This Is Where We Live
by Paco
Released: May 2009
Label: Unfiltered Records
A side project for Ivy's Andy Chase and Dominique Durand, Hem's Gary Maurer and an ex-punk rocker Michael Hampton. Paco sounds a lot like...uh... Ivy, with added studio flourishes. That's not a bad thing though, because This Is Where We Live feels like a complete album and its overflowing with great songs like "My Love" and "Who Do You Think You Are."

Cusano M1 Torpedo Reviews

Delightfully smooth, a perfect finish with no aftertaste. Looking for more as I bought them far from home. Also had the "CC", it was exceptional. My normal is the Aristocrat by Cuesta Rey.

Very harsh and bitter. Good draw but the taste? Ugh...One of the worst I have had.
I found these cigars to be somewhat mild but harsh. Generally a Rocky Patel guy so maybe these just aren't my thing.
Tired of expensive hard draws? Don't wait as long as I did to try and enjoy this smooth, mellow, long ash, easy draw M1 torpedo sensation. Total consistency with each wrap. Thank you for a work of perfection.
Good burn, taste is pretty good, good price

Third Local Woman to be Ordained a Roman Catholic Womanpriest
Categories: Follow That Story, Gettin' All Religious Up in Here
|Marybeth McBryan will become the third local Roman Catholic Womanpriest on Sunday -- critics be damned.
McBryan is the third local woman in the last two years to be ordained through the Virginia-based Womenpriest program.
In November 2007, Rose Marie "Ree" Hudson and Elsie McGrath caused quite the brouhaha in local Catholic circles when they became Womenpriests. In March 2008, then-St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke ex-communicated both women.
McBryan says she's prepared to face criticism from Roman Catholics and others who don't believe women have the right to deliver sacraments. "I don't believe that I'm in any position to judge anyone, so I kind of take the attitude that [my critics] aren't either. Nobody died and made them God."
McBryan is currently a real estate agent. She taught elementary school in a number of area parochial schools over the years and subbed for a time in the St. Louis Public Schools. She says she joined a convent in O'Fallon at age seventeen but left the sisterhood and later married.
McBryan says she raised her kids in the Roman Catholic Church and sent them to parochial schools. She has fallen in and out of the church at times, worshipping most recently at two institutions led by excommunicated priests: St. Stanislaus Kostka and Therese of Divine Peace.
The Archdiocese has not contacted McBryan about her upcoming ordination, though invitations to some people within the organization went out earlier this month.
"I have some really good friends who are priests, but they've been amazingly silent since they received my invitation," she says. "I know they wouldn't come to my ordination -- but not a word of congratulations or, Gee, how are you? None of that.
"It's just what we learn to live with."

Responding to a shoplifting incident at Walmart Dec. 7, Summerville Police were advised that the Loss Prevention Officer had chased the culprit who then jumped into a ditch and was crawling through a drainage pipe.
Backup arrived and covered both ends of the drainage pipe.
After being ordered to come out of the pipe several times, the subject Mitchell Stinecipher, 25, of Summerville finally complied. He was observed drinking from a mini bottle of unknown liquor which he threw into the pipe. Stinecipher was told to climb the embankment, which he did, promptly taking off his shirt and throwing it to the ground. He was unsteady on his feet and his speech was slurred. He was placed in handcuffs.
An officer advised that he had been attempting to locate a subject matching Stineciphers description and clothing who had been reported by several women and children urinating on the side of the 300 building in the Farmington Village apartment complex.
Stinecipher refused to give police his name, telling them he was going to jail anyway, so you can find out my name then.
The Walmart LPO told police Stinecipher was on Trespass Notice and should not have been in the store. He was seen stealing a watch and when he attempted to exit the store, the LPO gave chase. Stinecipher attempted to climb a fence but was unable to so he went into the drain pipe instead. He told police he had dropped everything he had in the pip. Police were unable to locate anything because of the amount of water in the pipe.
Stinecipher was charged with Shoplifting and public Intoxication.

It's not something you see every day -- but drivers in Bryan were not only faced with a delay in traffic, but those who had their windows down may have noticed a not so pleasant smell near Harvey Mitchell Parkway and Turkey Creed Road.
According to Bryan Police a truck from Hy-line Hatcheries was transporting liquid chicken parts down Turkey Creek Road around 1 Wednesday afternoon.
It's believed the truck may have stopped abruptly before it reached the intersection of Harvey Mitchell Parkway, causing it to spill a large amount of chicken parts and liquid all over the roadway. Police also believe the driver of the truck may have been unaware of the spillage due to the fact the driver never stopped. Bryan Firefighters from Station 5 had the roadway cleaned up and back open for drivers in less than 30 minutes.

Head to the High Line for Fall Festivities & a Haunted Halloween!
Posted By Molly Cotter On October 22, 2011 @ 10:45 am In Green Space,Manhattan | No Comments
The spooky season is upon us and where better to spend these cool fall days than on the High Line [3]! The famed and favorite walkway is celebrating Halloween by hosting a slew of great events [4] for all ages in the next coming weeks. From pumpkin picking [5] to haunted houses, there is something for everyone to enjoy this season [6] at the High Line [7].
The High Line Pumpkin Patch [8] will be ripe for the picking this Saturday, October 22nd from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Visitors can enter at the Chelsea Market Passage near West 15th Street and hand pick their own pumpkin to either decorate on the spot with provided materials or to take home to carve.
For those looking for a eerier experience, an art installation aptly named Haunt Room [9], by Sue de Beer [10] will do the trick. On view from October 26th to December 4th, Haunt Room is a small space where visitors seem to be standing in silence while infrasound and audio below the human level of hearing is played. The artist is interested in how these sounds beyond our threshold provoke creepy feelings like chills, dizziness, and a that strange sense of another presence. Visitors can find Haunt Room at the West 14th Street entrance.
Families are welcome to join in on the first ever High Line Halloween Parade [11] on October 30th. Admission is free and anyone who would like to march in the parade can meet at the seating steps at 12:00 p.m. The march will end at the High Line porch where face painting, spooky tunes, and refreshments will be waiting.
Admission to each event is free and there is no need to RSVP. Happy Haunting!
