POTSDAM Marc D. Leuthold has been denied permission to build an apartment on the first floor of his property at 1 Market St., after receiving a building permit in error and beginning construction last year.
The village Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously decided Thursday that the artist and SUNY Potsdam professors plans to turn the first floor into a shared apartment, gallery and studio did not meet the necessary requirements to justify a special permit.
Mr. Leuthold said he is considering his next step, which may involve appealing the boards decision in state Supreme Court.
I think Im going to speak with my lawyer, to see what my options are, he said.
Mr. Leuthold received a building permit to construct the apartment from village code enforcement officer Larry J. Colbert in April. He began work, spending $15,000 on the project and building a wall separating the front of the space from the proposed apartment in the back.
More than two months later the village realized its mistake and issued a stop-work order. First-floor commercial properties are not to be converted into residential space, according to the village code, for fear of eroding the value of the downtown business district.
Mr. Colbert left the position of code enforcement officer in September to go back into retirement, citing an overwhelming workload. His replacement, Gregory Thompson, became the villages fifth code enforcement officer in less than three years.
To qualify for a special use permit to build an apartment, Mr. Leutholds property had to pass four tests laid out in the village code. The erroneous permit was not considered in the zoning boards deliberations.
Unfortunately, our hands are tied, board Chairman Wade A. Davis said. If one of these tests is failed, then the Zoning Board of Appeals is forced to deny.
Mr. Leuthold said the village is depriving itself of the economic benefit a downtown artists studio could bring, calling such endeavours an economic engine. This town wants to throw sand in the engine, instead of gasoline in the gas tank, he said.
The board agreed that Mr. Leutholds application passed the first two of the four tests.
First, the applicant must be unable to get a reasonable return on his or her investment in the property. Second, this must be due to a hardship that does not apply to other property owners in the area.
The first floor of 1 Market St. has been vacant for several years. It is inaccessible to nearby parking, making loading and unloading nearly impossible, because it is tucked up against the Raquette River.
However, the code also says any changes to a property must not alter the essential character of the neighborhood, and the hardship cannot be self-created by the property owner.
This is where Mr. Leutholds application fell short, according to the board. By building an apartment on the first floor, he would be altering downtown Potsdams character as a commercial district.
Although he did not directly cause his problems with parking or accessibility, he brought the problem on himself by knowing the potential issues when he bought the building, the board agreed.
If Mr. Leuthold decides to appeal to state Supreme Court, the case will be treated as a lawsuit, with the village as the defendant.
According to village Planning and Development Director Frederick J. Hanss, the village has been involved in two such lawsuits in the last nine years, winning both.

As coalition forces recently transferred the lead of operations to Afghan security forces, the commander of Fort Drums 1st Brigade Combat Team said that change was in place with his soldiers and their Afghan partners for months.
Its their fight and theyre getting after it, Col. Stephen A. Michael said.
The commander spoke about his brigades work in a Saturday phone interview.
The brigade is stationed primarily in Ghazni Province, in the eastern side of the country near the border with Pakistan. The brigades 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment is in the northern part of the province, while its 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment is in the south.
The brigades security force advise-and-assist role is similar to that of soldiers from the 10th Mountain Divisions 2nd and 4th Brigade Combat Teams and the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, which are deployed around the country.
Col. Michael said the area historically has been linked to the Taliban, and before them to the Mujahideen when Soviet forces were in the country. The brigades commander said the province is seen as an important place by the Taliban for their operations and movement around the country.
Even before his brigades arrival, Col. Michael said, Afghan forces in the province improved their operations and found more local support, as the Taliban had overplayed their hand with residents by mistreating elders and closing schools.
The colonels message to his Afghan partners: they can maintain their own security and can do so in some circumstances better than American forces.
You have the connections to the people; you speak the language; you can tell when somethings a little bit out of place a whole lot better than we can because youre from here, Col. Michael said.
His other message to his counterparts was that their enemy is beatable.
Were not fighting some invincible enemy thats impervious to bullets, Col. Michael said. You can fight this one yourself.
He said the Afghan military forces could not lose if they worked for the locals and worked well with police forces.
What theyve got to do is follow through, and everything weve seen is they can and they are, Col. Michael said.
While his brigades Afghan partners already were proficient in direct-fire situations and intelligence gathering, Col. Michael said, he has had his soldiers working with Afghan forces to improve their use of artillery.
For the next few months, Col. Michael said, his brigade is planning potential areas for further action with its Afghan partners in the Andar, Qarabagh, Giro and Gelan districts of the province.
We think if we can turn the tides in those areas, we can change the landscape, he said.
Asked about recent military negotiations with the Taliban, Col. Michael said it was not something he worried about.
We know the folks above us are doing the right things to solve this problem, he said.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) there are two headache types and 13 headache classifications. If you have been seeing a doctor for treatment or have been doing some research then you've probably come across a number of terms, like migraine headache, cluster headache, tension-type headache, allergy headache, sinus headache and so on.
Despite the advances in medical science, an astonishing 25 million Americans suffer from migraines! And a whopping nine out of 10 suffer from other headaches as part of their daily lives! The headaches are accepted as inevitable parts of life and sufferers swallow prescription drugs as a matter of habit, just as they brush their teeth without giving the action a second thought.
The problem is chronic headaches and migraines take their toll, not only on the body's ability to maintain a state of homeostasis or wellness, but on the ability to think logically, see clearly and to feel and act appropriately. The impact all of this has on one's quality of life is shattering: jobs lost, relationships ruined, motivation diminished and happiness disintegrated.
Not all headaches are the same. Not everyone experiences headaches and their symptoms the same way. The same trigger does not always trigger the same type of headache. What's more, headaches encompass physical, physiological and emotional dimensions. In short, headaches are complex conditions that need a comprehensive approach to achieve their banishment.
Despite what you may have been told, the particular label you place on a headache is less important than taking a multi-pronged approach to returning your body to its natural, balanced state in which headaches are less likely to occur.
After personally suffering from painful migraines for nearly 30 years, I devised an "integrated mind/body approach" to prevent headaches of all kinds from taking hold in the body. Indeed, the key to ending headache pain is proactive avoidance of its causes rather than reactive treatment of its symptoms.
Major headache triggers include chemicals in food and beverages and even toxins in the body and air, as well as harboring stress and missing sleep. In order to reestablish cellular balance, one must remove the toxins and stressors that tax the body or learn to deal with them in new ways. For most people, this means a major lifestyle change. Here are seven ways to start:
Be Mindful of Dietary Choices
Eat more fresh items and fewer processed foods. Also, try eliminating suspected food triggers one by one from your diet for two to three weeks and monitor what happens with your headaches. Common culprits include cheeses (such as Brie, feta and Gorgonzola), pickles, chocolate, dairy products (goat as well as cow), alcohol (beware the notorious red wine headache), processed meats (bologna, pepperoni, salami, hot dogs, etc.), raw onions, peanuts, raisins and products that contain MSG.
Stay Hydrated with Plenty of Water
When we become dehydrated, the digestive system, lungs, liver and kidneys can no longer do their jobs as effectively, and this can lead to headaches.
Drink plenty of water every day to help your body expel hazardous chemical residues and toxic build-up. Water cleanses the colon, flushes the liver and kidneys and empties the bowels. I recommend two quarts of bottled or filtered water daily. Please note: caffeinated coffees and teas, carbonated sodas and sugar-filled fruit drinks don't count toward that total!
Break the Patterns of Stress
Stress, in its many forms, is a leading cause of headaches. So to control headaches, you must break the pattern of stress. Fortunately, there are many ways to go about doing this.
To reduce tension and tightness in the shoulders, neck and back, which can lead to headaches, see a massage therapist or do daily gentle stretches. A chiropractor can work with misalignments that can occur as a result of constantly tensed muscles. I also recommend meditation and deep breathing to quiet the mind and relax the body's nervous system. Many people benefit from tai chi, yoga, qigong or other gentle exercises that stretch the body and soothe the soul. Find whatever stress relievers work for you—it could be walking, biking, ice skating or whatever.
Taking a multiple B vitamin at least twice daily also helps fight the stress reflex. For many, a magnesium supplement may be useful as well.
Take Deep Breaths
In addition to stress relief, deep breathing ensures a continuous flow of fresh oxygen into the body. Many people's breathing is too shallow, which means they don't take in enough oxygen. To get more oxygen into your system I recommend progressive relaxation.
Lie down comfortably with your arms at your sides, and inhale as you tense your toes. Hold for a moment and then exhale as you consciously relax them. Gradually and slowly continue up the rest of the body, mindfully tensing and relaxing the feet, calves, thighs, etc., as you inhale and exhale.
Get Sufficient Sleep
Everyone knows we get cranky and headachy when we don't get enough sleep. To prevent headaches it's essential to establish deep and constant sleep patterns.
If you must drink caffeine, avoid it six hours before bed. Also avoid overly stimulating activities such as intense exercise. Stop working at the computer at least an hour or so before bed. Instead, establish a regular, soothing routine, such as taking a warm bath and reading a good book before retiring.
Engage in Regular Exercise
Exercise reduces stress, releases endorphins and dopamine, improves blood flow, works through muscle tension and keeps the body firm and supple. Engaging in simple, regular activities such as brisk walks and simple stretches will go a long way toward preventing headaches, as well as improving health overall.
Exercise at the same time every day, buddy up with a friend or group for accountability and support, and consider a trainer (if only for a few sessions) to help you establish a safe, personalized program. Even very easy, do-it-yourself stretches are beneficial for headache prevention. For example, try the chin-to-chest exercise. To stretch and release tension in the shoulders and upper back, use your hands to gently push the back of the head forward until your chin touches your chest. Repeat several times daily.
Know Your Number
Most chronic headache sufferers can't seem to find definitive relief from their pain by simply adhering to the above-mentioned suggestions. Unfortunately, the problem is more complex and what I tell patients is that the problem is compounded by multiple trigger combinations.
For me, my trigger number is four within a 24-hour period. I can have coffee, milk and sweetener with no problem, but if I get stressed: Bang! I can eat a hotdog on a white bun, drink a beer and I am fine. But get up with less than eight hours sleep and a headache will show itself. So, when living a lifestyle based on prevention it is important that you know your number… that magic digit that indicates how many triggers you can have in a day or week before the headache returns. And with that knowledge and the right amount of discipline you can keep the pain away forever.
With the above lifestyle changes you can reduce the frequency and severity of your headaches. The time to make the change is now. I wish you the best in this life-changing endeavor.
Yours in self-directed wellness,
—Dr. Mark Wiley

New DOE Bioenergy Information Resource for Data-driven Collaboration
January 21, 2011
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the launch of a new online collaboration tool and data resource focused on bioenergy. The "Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework" allows researchers, policymakers, and investors to share large data sets, as well as the latest bioenergy research. The Framework also facilitates collaborative production, integration, and analysis of information. Registered users will be able to contribute additional data sets that can then be shared, growing the body of knowledge, better informing this growing industry, and eliminating "information silos." The Framework allows simultaneous geographic mapping of complex data sets such as biomass feedstock production, fueling stations, and biorefineries on a national, state, and even county-level basis � providing the bioenergy industry an analytical tool for identifying new opportunities for research, supportive policies, and project investment. The Framework is part of the Obama Administration�s commitment to developing homegrown, sustainable, and plentiful sources of clean energy, like biofuels.
The Framework is meant to be customizable and flexible, while maintaining the integrity of the data. Users can chose specific data sets, for example, and immediately have them displayed on a scalable map. DOE developed the Framework (https://bioenergykdf.net/) with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as well as Idaho National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and university research partners. Oak Ridge National Laboratory will administer the site and validate new data submissions.
The Department of Energy will host a Webinar on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST to demonstrate the system. The session will include an overview of the system, case studies of how it may be used, and a demonstration of its user interface. This Webinar is free to all participants, but requires registration in advance. Prior to the Webinar, participants should also confirm that they can access the Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework website.
The system has unique value for a variety of industry stakeholders:
- Policymakers at the national, state, county, and municipal levels, will be able to assess resources and infrastructure, to decide how best to achieve America�s clean energy goals.
- Private industry and entrepreneurs can benefit from analyses to better identify opportunities and inform business strategies.
- National Laboratory and university researchers and scientists will be able to connect research projects and share data, models, and published studies.
- The public will be able to explore the wealth of public information and discover how their communities can benefit from renewable bioenergy.
Secretary Steven Chu made this announcement on Thursday, January 20, 2011 as part of the Department of Energy�s comprehensive strategy to support the production of advanced biofuels. For more information on the full announcement, see the following press release: Department of Energy Offers First Conditional Commitment for a Loan Guarantee for Advanced Biofuels Plant.
DOE�s Biomass Program is helping transform the nation's renewable and abundant biomass resources into cost-competitive, high-performance biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower. To learn more, visit the Biomass Program website.

Development of a Nurse-Led Hypnosis Service at a Comprehensive Cancer Center : A Report from the SCEH Meeting in Berkeley10/18/2013
School of Mind-Body Medicine Chair Donald Moss attended the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis meeting in Berkeley in October, where he taught a competency course in breath training as an adjunct to hypnosis and chaired a symposium on pediatric applications of hypnosis and biofeedback. Dr. Moss is reporting in on relevant scientific programs at SCEH.
Kate Kravits, MA, RN, LPC, at the City of Hope in Duarte, California, provided a report on the development of a nurse-led service providing hypnosis for cancer patients on an inpatient and outpatient basis. This is an excellent example of progress in integrating mind-body services into the mainstream of healthcare. This program was initially inspired by Guy Montgomery's research showing that hypnosis can not only moderate the symptoms and suffering of breast cancer patients, but also save money for the institutions serving these patients. The City of Hope team contacted Dr. Montgomery, who agreed to serve as a consultant for the program. Establishing their service, the team encountered many barriers, notably prejudices against hypnosis as a medical intervention.

St. Lawrence Local Government Task Force members asked the New York Power Authority to renegotiate conditions outlined in the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Projects 2003 relicensing settlement agreement in a letter sent Tuesday.
Those stipulations include unanticipated events that occured after the relicensing, according to the letter signed by Task Force Chairman and Massena Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray.
Mr. Gray said that several economic factors, including the closing of the General Motors plant in 2008, call for a new settlement.
No one in their wildest dreams could have predicted in 2002 the implosion of General Motors, Mr. Gray said. It was a $13 million hit to the Massena tax base, not to mention the loss of jobs. It put a bigger property tax burden on the people in the community.
Mr. Gray said that the Task Force could also not have predicted that the settlement in Western New York for the Niagara Power Project would be 8 times larger than those affected by the St. Lawrence Power Project.
No one is arguing that the Niagara Project isnt bigger than the St. Lawrence-Power Project, but there was a lot less shoreline and property involved in Niagara, Mr. Gray said. NYPAs project effects 35 miles of shoreline and public and private access is restricted within 90 percent of property inside the project boundarys shoreline.
Task force members have requested the review to be on or after Oct. 15.
We are confident that the New York Power Authority and its board of directors and the governor want to be responsible for its citizens and give the host communities what is due compared with the Niagara Power Project, Mr. Gray said.

|Stand-Off Over--Edmisten Surrenders With Encouragement from Family
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 29 July 2010 16:37
The stand-off is over—Walter Edmisten has surrendered to lawmen. The 50-year old was coaxed out of his home just off Wildcat Road by a family member, according to Sheriff Len Hagaman, "We're greatfully relieved. We're thankful for his family showing up. They, of course, played a very important role in it along with some of the negotiators, so he was ready to come out." Video at: http://www.youtube.com/user/GoBlueRidgeNews
The stand-off started just before 10 this morning as deputies went to the home to serve papers and arrest Edmisten on charges stemming from the high-speed chase Tuesday night that lead into Wilkes County. Numerous charges are pending, including charges involving a stolen car used in the chase that was found in his front yard. Edmisten claimed he fired no shots at deputies after being tasered this morning, and alluded to an earlier incident at his home involving deputies, "I didn't fire no gun at anybody. They shot me a damn taser by God and I fell across the damn floor."

Nov 15th 2008 How to have the next slide in a second screen in PDF presentations
I do my presentations in latex – beamer, and something that I miss from other software applications is to see the upcoming slide in the notes screen, so I can prepare my speech and make the transitions between slides smoother.
Although I usually use pstricks, and typeset everything with Tex + Ghostscript, for this presentation I'm going to use pdftex so I can include pdf as graphics.
Here is what I did, and you might find it useful too, tweak it as needed:
Compile your presentation without notes first, and include an extra slide (empty if you like).
Save it with another name, e.g.: reference.pdf
Add this lines to your preamble:
\usepackage[absolute,showboxes]{textpos} \usepackage[]{eso-pic} \TPGrid{210}{297} \newcounter{pdfPage} \addtocounter{pdfPage}{1} \newcommand{\insertslideintonotesA}{ \addtocounter{pdfPage}{1} \begin{textblock}{100}(125,177) \includegraphics[page=\value{pdfPage} , scale=.4]{reference.pdf} \end{textblock} }
And these lines after your \begin{document}
\AtBeginNote{ \scriptsize }\AtEndNote{ \insertslideintonotesA }
Compile again your presentation WITH notes, and delete the extra slide you included in the first step.
Your next slide will appear in the bottom right of the notes screen.
You can use tdclock.sty (see more here) if you want to have a clock too, although in Mac, it doesn't work with SplitShow.
You will need to add this line to the preamble:
this line to your first slide:
and this line to your \AtBeginNote{} section

|Jessica Lunsford's father campaigns her law in Raleigh
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Friday, 27 April 2007 08:06
North Carolina may join the list of states with harsher penalties for some sex offenders.Mark Lunsford, father of 9-year-old murder victim Jessica Lunsford, was in Raleigh Wednesday campaigning for the Jessica Lunsford Act, or Jessica's Law, which would give persons convicted of lewd acts towards children minimum sentences of 25 years to life in prison without parole. Currently, people convicted of sex crimes against children face a minimum of 12 years. According to Avery County Representative Phillip Frye, a sponsor of the bill, such legislation is necessary for North Carolina. "We need to protect our children," Frye said.

Levetiracetam to Prevent Post-Traumatic Epilepsy

- How to Read a Study Record
Head injury is the cause of approximately 5% of all epilepsy in the US. Past attempts at preventing epilepsy by treatment with older antiepileptic drugs have been unsuccessful. Levetiracetam is a novel AED with potent antiepileptogenic properties in animal models of epilepsy. It has a favorable side effect and pharmacokinetic profile. It is therefore a strong candidate for a clinical trial of epilepsy prevention following traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, there has been no experience in administering levetiracetam rapidly to individuals with acute TBI. The investigators propose to initiate the evaluation of levetiracetam in prevention of post-traumatic epilepsy by determining the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and feasibility of acute and chronic administration of levetiracetam to individuals with head injury with a high risk for developing post-traumatic epilepsy. Further, the investigators will follow subjects for 2 years after injury in order to obtain pilot data about effect of levetiracetam on PTE. This pilot study is the first step in evaluation of levetiracetam in prevention of post-traumatic epilepsy.

Comments about ROC-N-SOC Component Motion Throne:
I play a lot of musical theater gigs and am on the throne for hours. This one allows me to remain comfortable and mobile. I've had trouble with my legs cramoping ar falling asleep on others. It's a big heavy think to transport, though, but worth the effort. Buy the backrest.Roc&Soc set me up with a case for it - also big & heavy. I had a weld fail and they took great care of me. Good company!
Comments about ROC-N-SOC Component Motion Throne:
There is no way to adjust the spring motion. What you see is what you get. If you don't plan on keeping your feet firmly planted on the floor, you should maybe try their other non-motion chairs. The seat and optional backrest however are like sitting on a cloud in heaven.
Comments about ROC-N-SOC Component Motion Throne:
I have to haul this myself. The Guitar Player hates it because it's so heavy. I make him haul all the other stuff. I have to sit for long periods of time so it works out for that. But be forewarned. This thing blowshard to move around. It's heavy.

Read: The Disclaimer Of Interest Is A Leverage Play
At TSN, Eric Macramalla writes that if the NHLPA files a disclaimer of interest it needs to be done in good faith and not just as a play to get leverage in the CBA talks.
He writes "you need to look at the surrounding circumstances, including the conduct of the parties after dissolution, to determine if the union has really stopped representing the players. As was said in a case back in 1958, a disclaimer of interest is conducted in bad faith when it's "obviously employed only as a measure of momentary expedience, or strategy in bargaining."
The NHL, he says, is arguing that the NHLPA is just looking for leverage and once they get it they will re-group as a union and that the NHLPA execs will still be calling the shots.
He adds that judges may not be in favor of this based on the NFLPA and NBAPA filing disclaimers and then re-assembling their unions.

A Taste of Tequila and Chili Peppers
by AMNH on
Chili peppers, a spicy fruit featured in cuisines around the world, were used in Mexico long before going global, as was the agave-derived distilled drink tequila. This week, the Museum's Adventures in the Global Kitchen series presents Tequila and Chilies, which will include a conversation with Juan Carlos Aguirre, the executive director of Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders. Aguirre, who will be providing samplings of chili-based dishes from across Mexico alongside tequila from Richard Sandoval Restaurants, recently offered a quick history lesson about the ubiquitous chili pepper.
The Evolution of Skin
by AMNH on
Skin is the body's largest organ, and one with a complex cultural and evolutionary past. At the upcoming SciCafe on Wednesday, May 2, biological anthropologist Nina Jablonski will discuss how human skin evolved, particularly as an adaptation to ultraviolet radiation. She recently answered a few questions about skin and its role in our lives.
When did you decide to study the history of human skin?
Nina Jablonski: By accident. About 23 years ago, a colleague asked me to give a lecture to his class about skin because he was going to be out of town for a conference. I obliged. In preparing for the lecture, I realized just how little had been written about the evolution and meaning of human skin.
Curator John Sparks on Fieldwork in Extreme Environments
by AMNH on
Ichthyologist John Sparks, curator of Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence, recalls two challenging expeditions in Madagascar in search of new species of blind cavefishes. Read an excerpt of the interview below.
We were in Ankarana Reserve in far northern Madagascar, a surreal landscape of exposed karst formations. These are one-of-a-kind formations of permeable rocks, with rivers and streams in between. It's kind of like Swiss cheese, with water running through it. We were looking for a species of blind cavefish endemic to this region.
But first, we had to make our way through the piles of bat guano [dung]. The cavefishes, which lack pigment and have no eyes, eat some of the invertebrates that are in the water, but a lot of them survive mainly on guano. There are enormous piles of it in these caves, 20- to 30-foot mounds. When you get closer, the mounds seem to come alive, with millions of clicking, rustling cockroaches that run over your feet and up your legs. It's just like a scene out of an Indiana Jones movie.
Celebrating New Orleans with Delfeayo Marsalis
by AMNH on
As part of the national celebrations for Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) in April, the Museum will honor jazz's birthplace on Saturday, April 28, with the day-long Global Weekends program New Orleans: Culture Remixed. Headlining the event is famed jazz trombonist and music producer Delfeayo Marsalis, whose family includes saxophonist Branford Marsalis, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, drummer Jason Marsalis, and pianist Ellis Marsalis. Delfeayo recently answered a few questions about his music.
A Day of Deep-Sea Cameras and Creatures in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life
by AMNH on
From fireflies to jellyfishes, an astonishing range of animals create their own light. On Sunday, April 22, kids can explore activity carts about glowing organisms while scientists David Gruber, Marc Branham, and Edith Widder share their research about these creatures and the deep-sea vehicles and cameras required to study them. David Gruber, an assistant professor at The City University of New York (CUNY) and a Museum research associate who consulted on the exhibition Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence, recently answered a few questions about his deep-sea photography and the Museum.

Lampeter to Crewe, 3 hours 22 minutes - I am willing to slap an extra hour onto this for public transport and actually getting the fuck to you (as I doubt brikwhore will want unknown peoples in the house with extremely young kids) and extra time/money/effort to getting to you - I will say an approx date of early/mid 2014 to ensure everything is set in stone (making sure the boss is okay with me doing this, the kids are old enough for me not to place too much load on her, booking holiday and having enough money, making sure neither of us is gonna snuggle the other, where to host the battle, which hotel I will be staying in, ect) and then all we need is for me to pack my Scythian army box (IE - sticking the lid on top and ducktaping it down) and getting the fuck to you.
A few hours spent pissing around with briks, building the battlefield and finding alchomoholic substances - then battle the fuck on like crazy diamonds, both take pics, both post battle reports, maybe time for a second battle (or three) general trolling and other such bollocks?
Sound like a plan to you dude?
A damn good one at that. There's only one complication, I don't own the house, and my parents, as cool a guy as my dad is, probably wouldn't be too happy with 'strangers' in the house. However I'm sure we could figure something out, between gaming stores and community centres.
Yeah, I figured as much - as a dad myself I had kinda worked that in above. Last time around with Warhead coming down to me it wasn't so much of an issue, both of the eldest would have been at their grandparents farm and the youngest would have been with her if it wasn't for the premier of the last Harry potter film which I promised her she could go see, which would have mean him, me and a baby in the moses basket for about half a day until we could battle in the local uni (which I had access too back when I was a student).
Although, if you have the ability to transport both your army and whatever scenery you have then local gaming stores (of which I have none) would be a good solution - the only thing with this option is that you would have to build everything yourself before bringing it over, rather than putting together a battlefield between the pair of us.
Not an insurmountable task I admit, just a minor bugbear to be overcome.

In order to play a Russian spy on "The Americans," Keri Russell had to be in killer shape.
And, judging by the photos from this month's Women's Health, the 37-year-old more than pulled it off.
The former "Felicity" star shows off her amazing abs on the cover and inside the pages of the magazine's May issue, where she's seen flaunting her hot bod in a couple bikini tops and True Religion cut-off shorts.
Keri, who gave birth to her second child with husband Shane Deary in 2011, shared a few her shape-up secrets.
"Everyone should dance more," she tells the mag. "Everyone should walk more. I mean that's one of the great things about living in Brooklyn and in New York. You get to eat a big rich fatty meal but then you can walk home."
And for those of us in a non-walking city?
"[There's] this really nerdy workout I do in my walk-through closet in our brownstone," she explains. "I do a workout video and use my own music-whatever is inspiring to me at that time, like Alabama Shakes, the Cure, or Mumford and Sons."
The actress, who says she didn't start eating vegetables "until I was 30," now has a much healthier diet ... but, at 37, her body has made one change she's not happy with.
"The thing I notice most is my butt," says Keri. "I used to have a really good, plump butt. Ugh-now my butt's gone. I do wish I had my 25-year-old butt!"
Check out more photos from Keri Russel's Women's Health shoot above -- plus see what happened to the rest of the "Felicity" cast below:

The accreditation responsibility includes establishing and monitoring accreditation systems within Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ). Accreditation is official recognition of proficiency resulting in the approval and authority to perform specific tasks or to provide specific services in support of official obligations such as the issuance of Phytosanitary Certificates. In 2001, PPQ published a rule in the Federal Register ( 7 CFR 353.8 ) allowing APHIS to accredit non-federal entities to perform laboratory testing or phytosanitary inspection services to support export certification activities. As of July, 2009, the North American Plant Protection Organization (NAPPO) finalized the Guidelines for Authorization of Entities to Perform Phytosanitary Services . These guidelines represent a regional standard for accreditation.
Certification Programs
The certification responsibility includes establishing and monitoring certification systems within Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ). Certification is a quality management process used by PPQ to ensure that pest risk management measures meet applicable standards. The PPQ certification function is performed directly by PPQ inspectors.
The Farm Bill - H.R. 6124 Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 - became law in June 2008. Section 10201(d)(1) directs the USDA Secretary of Agriculture to provide funds and technical assistance to specialty crop growers, organizations representing specialty crop growers, and State and local agencies working with specialty crop growers and organizations for the development and implementation of audit-based certification systems.
Section 10202 of the Farm Bill directs the USDA Secretary of Agriculture to establish the National Clean Plant Network (NCPN), a program under which a partnership of clean plant centers is organized for diagnostic and pathogen elimination services to produce clean propagative plant material and maintain blocks of pathogen-tested plant materials in sites located throughout the U.S. Clean plant material may then be made available to States for certified clean plant programs and to private nurseries and producers. In carrying out the NCPN, USDA shall consult with State departments of agriculture, land grant universities, and non land grant colleges of agriculture. Additionally, to the extent practicable, and with appropriate State and industry input, NCPN shall use existing Federal or State facilities to serve as clean plant centers.
Postentry Quarantine
Postentry quarantine is a pest risk mitigation measure designed to enable importers to move planting stock representing a high risk of plant pest dissemination from designated foreign sources into the U.S. The planting stock authorized under postentry quarantine is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations 7 CFR 319.37-7. Only plant species from foreign countries designated in said regulation are authorized. Final destination is limited to those States with a Postentry Quarantine Agreement. The length of the quarantine period is generally two years with exceptions for some plant species as given in the regulation.

The latest accessory to lighten the load of your mobile office is the Blackberry Presenter. Available with a contract or as an unlocked cell phone this device is a wireless presentation tool. Your bulky laptop can stay home and you can still deliver the one-two punch of a Microsoft Power Point presentation.
The presenter is just about the same size as your Blackberry. There are two ports to connect directly to your projector. The ease of operation is surprising, with the touch of your menu button you can press the launch presenter application, find your file, and your Blackberry locates the Power Point presentation that you preloaded into your Blackberry. You then press the present option on your phone, and the pairing wizard will link your Blackberry up to the presenter and projector you are using. This is handy in case someone else is also doing a presentation in the same convention hall or meeting space. When you verify the document and send, the file will transfer and you are ready to begin your presentation.
You can walk around while giving your presentation since the range on the wireless is 10 meters, or 30 feet with Bluetooth connection. Freeze a frame in your presentation as you expand on the item you are speaking about is easy enough to do by holding down a button on your phone. Your Blackberry can also hold speaker notes that you can see and the group you are addressing will not. This hand-held accessory will make you look like a pro and give you the freedom and mobility to relax the group you are addressing thus making your presentation a hit. You can set the presentation on loop and talk while the slide is operational or just leave the area if it is a convention stand-alone visual presentation. Leave your laptop behind with a Blackberry Presenter setting up for a meeting just got easier.

Block Party Permits
Wednesday, April 18, 2012
Media Contact: DDOT Permitting Office (202) 442-4670
HSEMA provides the Washington DC community with the necessary permits for hosting community events, such as block parties. The link to attain a permit is provided below.
DDOT To Manage Public Space Permitting Process For Neighborhood Block Parties
All Block Party Permit Requests Now Will Be Processed Through DDOT
(Washington, D.C.) Effective Monday, April 23, 2012, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin managing the public space permitting process for neighborhood block parties. Residents seeking to obtain a public space permit for an event on their block will need to submit their request directly to DDOT instead of the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA).
The change will also streamline the process and set up a one-stop-shop for residents to submit their applications through DDOT's Transportation Online Permit System (TOPS). TOPS is DDOT's fully automated online permitting system for all public space permits. TOPS allows residents to conveniently apply for a block party permit 15 business days prior to the event date.
The following criteria governing street closures for Neighborhood Block Parties will remain in effect:
- Applicant must be an adult resident (21 years or older) of the block being closed.
- Area must not exceed two intersecting streets (i.e., must be limited to one block).
- Street must be reopened no later than 10:00 p.m.
- Applicant must obtain consent of 51% of households on the block.
- Vending is prohibited. No sales, fees, or donations shall be solicited or accepted at the event.
- No sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages allowed.
- Accessibility for emergency equipment via an unobstructed 20-foot emergency access lane must be maintained at all times.
- Posting of street closure/no parking signs must be completed no less than 72 hours prior to date of event.
More information about DDOT's Public Space Permits is available online at ddot.dc.gov.

With only one week remaining on the Carbon Dinos Region 8 season schedule, the team looks forward to kicking off post season action.
Currently, the Dinos stand at 7-0 on the season and 12-5 overall this year.
The seven game winning streak boosted the Dinos into the number one seed in Region 8 as the state playoffs near.
Last Friday afternoon, the Dinos traveled to Mount Pleasant to take on the North Sanpete Hawks. The match up ended with the Dinos on top, 7-5.
The Carbon team found themselves trailing the Hawks, 4-2 entering the fifth inning.
This is when the Dinos turned up their play and scored five runs in the inning. This opened the doors for the Dinos seventh straight region victory this year.
The Carbon team will host their final regular season game Tuesday at 3 p.m. as the Delta Rabbits come to town.
Following this match up, the Dinos will take to the road and finish out the season as they compete against Park City on Wednesday and Wasatch on Friday.
State playoff action will begin May 10 as the Dinos host the number four, Region 10 team. This will be a play-in game and will kick off the playoff season.
Dino coach Lane Herrick is confident in his team but is quick to admit that a trip to the state finals will not be easy.
In fact, Herrick feels that now is the time that his team needs to step up and focus on one game at a time in order to make it to the finals this year.
