In response to UD6's comment:
what happened to all of those draft picks Belichick accumulated?
This post has been deemed both stupid and apropos of nothing.
All pedestrians, readers and posters are instructed to move along, Nothing to see here.... Move along Ma'am...
Did not intend to strike a nerve. I actually thought that over the past few A years Belichick has traded players for picks and was flush with them.
I'll file this away for future reference.
BTW, how do you feel about the pats paying Amendola more than they offered Welker?
Okay UD6, I'll play along. What exacty is the point of your posts? Is it a dig that the Pats don't have as many draft picks as usual? Amendola getting paid more than Welker? Tell you what, I'll buy what you're selling when, and only when, Indy has a better record than the Pats. Or, because your beloved man-crush is a Brono - Denver hsa a better record than the Pats. We'll also see how far those two teams make it in the playoffs (assuming they'll get there and that isn't carved in stone) versus the Pats. Thing is, your snide little negative snippits may make sense if the two teams you support were actually better than the team you're sniping against. But, as usual, logic is lost on trolls.
another nerve without intention. Anyway, I've been on record that I think the pats should have and could have kept welker for 1 mill per year more for 2 years than they offered. I am sure Amendola will be great but not better.
As for the picks - as I said, I'll file that away. Guess I'll have to pay more attention. Didn't they recently have a bunch of picks?
LOL - YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE RECORD. Well, stop the presses! Considering your record you ought not to bring it up. I woould think that being stupid is painful. But I dont know. I would have to ask someone like you.
Will you respond? Did someone strike a nerve? Will you ignore pretending a nerve was not struck. Gee, respond or ignore and you still we be just as stupid.
By the way, who do you root for? A team that doesnt like to play out doors in the weather?
uh oh portfolio alert. Is there something wrong with going on record or stating that I've done so? In the portfolio realm apparently so. Look, if it bothers you, just stay away.
As for stupid being painful. I get that you wouldn't know. Ignorance is your bliss, right Portfolio?
I root for the colts.

without the hauling costs, waste can have a negative impact on your whole
Somat DeHydrator System
We can help reduce the volume of waste
and transform it into a material that can more easily be stored for hauling.
Somat's Pulpers and Somat DeHydrator Systems can reduce waste volume 8:1
(87.5%) and Shredders can reduce waste volume by
9 to 1 (93%).
Pulpers take food service waste and mix
it with water to create a pulpable slurry that is approximately 95% liquid and
5% solids. The slurry can then be transported to a dehydrator, which removes most of the water and discharges the
semi-dry pulp into a container for disposal. The extracted water can be re-used
in the pulping process. Shredders grind and shred waste, drain it of excess
water and compact it to create an ideal mixture for composting.

If saving your heart isn't reason enough to avoid trans fats, how about keeping your colon healthy? New research from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill links high trans-fat intake with increased growth of polyps that can lead to colorectal cancer.
This is a great question, and one that confuses many people. If a food lists "partially hydrogenated" or "fully hydrogenated" oils in its ingredients, then it definitely contains trans fats, despite the "0 grams trans fat" claim.

(1) The legislature encourages each middle school, junior high school, and high school to implement a comprehensive guidance and planning program for all students. The purpose of the program is to support students as they navigate their education and plan their future; encourage an ongoing and personal relationship between each student and an adult in the school; and involve parents in students' educational decisions and plans. (2) A comprehensive guidance and planning program is a program that contains at least the following components: (a) A curriculum intended to provide the skills and knowledge students need to select courses, explore options, plan for their future, and take steps to implement their plans. The curriculum may include such topics as analysis of students' test results; diagnostic assessments of students' academic strengths and weaknesses; use of assessment results in developing students' short-term and long-term plans; assessments of student interests and aptitude; goal-setting skills; planning for high school course selection; independent living skills; exploration of options and opportunities for career and technical education at the secondary and postsecondary level; exploration of career opportunities in emerging and high-demand programs including apprenticeships; and postsecondary options and how to access them; (b) Regular meetings between each student and a teacher who serves as an advisor throughout the student's enrollment at the school; (c) Student-led conferences with the student's parents, guardians, or family members and the student's advisor for the purpose of demonstrating the student's accomplishments; identifying weaknesses; planning and selecting courses; and setting long-term goals; and (d) Data collection that allows schools to monitor students' progress. (3) Subject to funds appropriated for this purpose, the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall provide support for comprehensive guidance and planning programs in public schools, including providing ongoing development and improvement of the curriculum described in subsection (2) of this section.
[2008 c 170 § 303; 2006 c 117 § 2.]
Intent -- 2006 c 117: "The legislature recognizes that there are specific skills and a body of knowledge that each student needs to chart a course through middle school, high school, and posthigh school options. Each student needs active involvement from parents and at least one supportive adult in the school who knows the student well and cares about the student's progress and future. Students, parents, and teachers also need the benefit of immediate feedback and accurate diagnosis of students' academic strengths and weaknesses to inform the students' short-term and long-term plans. To empower and motivate all students and parents to take a greater role in charting the students' own educational experiences, the legislature intends to strengthen schools' guidance and planning programs."

Premise Checker
Posted by Bob in Comment Responses on 10/10/2006
Bob, You should not have told the Premise Checker about your blog unless you want your Premises Checked!
This whole debate over the rationale for White survival goes back to Richard Swartzbaugh in the my race vs. the race debate in the mid-1970s. A White my race racist urges the survival of the White race because it is his race. A White *the* race racist urges the survival of the White race because it is *the* race, the only race that matters.
Okay, there a plenty of White race racists who maintain that the White race is the creative race, that the world would stop moving forward if the top race were the Far Easterners and would move backward if the top race were one of the dumb races. (World IQ is 90.) This is support and would think that other races should support the survival of *the* race, since they benefit from having the world move forward, too. If the White race becomes explicitly racist and argues this case, maybe the other races are not so stupid or stubborn that they would not stop trying to kill of the goose that lays the golden egg. Actually, it's only Whites that want to solve the race problem by eliminating Whites!
Now other White racists focus on admiring the things the White race has created in the past. Now, I'm no Roman Catholic, but I do admire the depth of the theological system that Whites constructed. Not that other races haven't put out lots of theological rumble-bumble, but it's not systematic. I was just browsing the web to find the texts of "Big Wheel Buddhism." I found that the texts made little sense and was referred to articles by a professor who trys to put them in order. His name? Ronald Epstein! Since you are doubtless curious, here a link: http://online.sfsu.edu/~rone/Buddhism/Yogacara/TRANSFORMATION%20OF%20CONSCIOUSNESS.htm
Hey, this is fun! If you want to find out about the 31 planes of existence, you'd have to tease them out of the sacred texts, but Susan Elbaum Jootla (it would seem a White person so enamored of this business she decided to upgrade the Buddhish gene pool by marrying one Jootla) has done it for you at http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/jootla/wheel414.html
Okay, so I prefer our race's products, maybe like I thrill whenever someone from my high school or from U.Va. makes the news (Katie Couric had a room on the Lawn, in case you didn't know, Bob.) and have not taken a Buddhist as a wife. (Actually, though, the woman I would have most resonated with at work was a Buddhist. Strange, highly intelligent. Her name: Lois Peak, that is before she changed it.) What's important is not the products, as you so rightly insist, but the capacity to make more products. Conservative gloomists say this is not possible, but they never read the scientific news. They don't shave either: razor blades have improved immensely in my lifetime, one of the little things that the White race does that go unnoticed.
Point is that my race racists have to be the race racists as well. Another reason is that racism itself is a White invention. You once wondered whether it was invented by the Slave Power to justify slavery. Had we been Papists, it wouldn't have gotten off the ground, since in a stupendious act of rent-seeking, the Roman Catholic pope decreed in the early 15th century that American Indians had souls and hence missionaries should go there to keep them from going to Hell. Besides, racism is indeed a social construction, or learned activity, since our instincts are mostly to identify with those in our hunting band. This instinct was in place in the Olden Times. To identify with a whole race takes a society advanced enough to find out about the race in the first place. And even my race racists have to decide on the boundaries of White and non-White. Do they do this on my race or these race grounds? Probably both, which shows that it's both the and my not one or the other.
Comment by Trager Smith
If you are going to presume to check premises, you should first know waht the premise is. As I just explained, my advantgage is that I am operating in a world which is so screwed up intellectually that the other side is wrwong in depth.
I was the one who said in New Orleans, "It's not "the" race, it's MY race!" But I am also aware we are the one race humanity would really lose by losing. READ the blog before you criticize my premises. I have ssaid both these these things over and over and over here, and if you were a regular seminar member here I would give you hell for missing that.
You are a neophyte here.
Learn first, premise check afterwards.
Regarding Germany in World War II, the ultimate example of putting all the eggs in one basket was Hitler himself. He was a genius, but a flawed genius. He was a bad general, a bad manager of the war economy and a bad planner. If falling in love with institutions and 'wordism' is a bad idea, it is also a bad idea to become infatuated with a Maximum Leader.
Comment by Quent
Once again, everything I say INTERRELATES. If you want to find real hate, look for thost who are Anti-Hate. If you want to find the people are least temperate onjthe subject of alcohol, look to the Temperance Movement. By the same token, some of the most offensive wordists call themselves Nazis.
I am interested in saving my own race right now. But every time I try to get people interested in that, I am besieged by treatises on Hitler, discussions of the rise of the National Socialist Movement, "Bob, your attitude towards the Fuhrer is not the correct one."
Hitler was loyal to at least a dozen big things. He was a militarists, he hated democracy, he saw himself as semi-divine, and, somewhere in the midst of all of this, he talked a lot about the Aryan race. But he ACTED as if that were only one of his priorities, and not the main one. In the end, he fought a war by the side of his colored allies against white powers in the name of the anti-Cominterm Axis.
Was he right? Was he wrong. Was he infallible?
Who gives a damn? This is as much a diversion as the Holocaust!
Quent me reminded me of something vital: Why I have stood by MY approach.
I do not deal in propaganda, I deal in basics. If the world is as totally screwed up as this one is, that gives me this one big advantage: truth is heresy. The simple truth is a devastating weapon which only things like the National Socialist Theology can keep us from destroying our enemies with.
By all means, if you NEED a swastike to keep you going, USE it. I used it when I was young. But I also have generations of white Southern tradition behind me, which not many people do, tradition that was not learned from a book but has always been part of my being. So I can use basics, I can see the truth and I don't need any props. A rich man doesn't need money, but he should leave an opening for those who do.
But there is a fatal defect to propaganda as opposed to basic truth. Propaganda ALWAYS becomes Wordism. When you have to convince the German people of your divine mission, you begin to believe in your own divinity. When you say that you are mainly stopping Communism, you begin to believe that. If you are a Jew who hates gentiles you need a wordist cover for your simple hatred, so you latch onto Communism. But finally you BELIEVE in Communism.
I have had to get disenchangted with Hitler, with the Confederacy, with fundamental Christianity and the Boer Kerk, with the Democratic Party of my fathers, with conservatism, with American patriotism, with the rest of a list I don't even want to think about.
It is ALL Wordism. You recite the words and you become loyal to the words themselves.
On sweltering August evening in 1968 I was standing in a liquor store parking lot in Watts, California. Accompanying me were a mob of colored hoodlums. The moon mission was on their minds.
A fiery mutt was standing on the roof of a car in center of the parking lot haranguing the mob.
This is what he said: "Da white man is racist! Dey don't send no nigger to the moon! Da white man is always pickin on us poor coloreds! Dats why they ain't one, not one nigger dat is an astronaut! Dey is always tryin to humiliate us! You'll never see a nigger walk on the moon till we take da white man down!"
That is when I realized how ridiculous, how utterly profane nonwhites are. What this mutt was really saying (but was too utterly stupid to realize it) was this:
That our success at adaptive specialization in our economic life and our ability of produce surpluses to support Herculean technological achievement meant nothing.
That our centuries of applied science, chemistry, and engineering involving sustained strenuous intellectual and laboratory effort consuming countless thousands upon thousands of lives meant nothing.
That our entire history of obsessive curiosity meant nothing; that our ancient demand to unravel the secrets of nature through experiment meant nothing; that our genius of devising logical systems to describe the world through chains of logical reasoning meant nothing; that our brilliance at devising mechanical aids to computation and navigation meant nothing; that our harnessing of electrons, and the whole cloth of the fields of chemistry, materials science, engineering, telemetries, and rocketry meant nothing.
In other words, the entire fabric of our white existence and white heritage meant nothing.
The only thing that meant anything was the EVIL RACIST WHITE MAN was unwilling to CONFER THE CREDIT for his achievement to a SAINTED BLACK ASS.
The meaning of profanity is that a lie is pretended to be true.
Nonwhites are inherently profane: Anyone who grants them the slightest authenticity is a fool.
They can't help it. They are born profane, will live profane, and will die profane with the certainty that sun will rise in the east and set in the west.
IT IS ETERNALLY TRUE TO THEM (they are hardwired to accept) THAT A LIE IS AS GOOD AS THE TRUTH.
BW says he is a teacher of the basics.
I say, by God, there is nothing but the basics.
The dramatics of the world's moral order play out in the racial arena for a reason: It is in the racial arena that the gradations of nature's continuum play out.
We whites started down this terrible path of "racial equality" over five hundred years ago when the Catholic Church decided to classify the indigenous people of the New World as humans.
It was a stupid classification based upon the belief in the talismanic power of words, without regard to the difficult nuances of the natural world and the facts contained therein.
It has been hell ever since and we white people have stewed in confusion ever since.
It is long overdue that we end that.

NIAGARA FALLS, ONT. - The crowds are already making their way into Niagara Falls, Ontario to watch what has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
Organizers expect between 60,000 and 80,000 people in town to watch the Red Bull Smashed Ice Championship Series opener. The sport is a combination of speed skating, down-hill skiing, bobsled and demolition derby. But for this region it is also a combination of dollars and cents.
Niagara Falls, Ontario Mayor Jim Diodati says the economic impact of this two day event could range from 20 to 30 million dollars. He says it also represents an new marketing approach for his city. "You know this is our new philosophy here, blockbuster events."
Diodati says the Wallenda walk last June opened his eyes to the possibilities and potential of an event-driven economy. In addition to the events on the ice track this weekend there is also a free concert and the closing time for the bars has been moved back to 4 a.m.
On the heels of this event, Niagara Falls is also planning a New Years Eve celebration with high-profile musical acts that will be televised nationally to an audience of 2 million households, making it the biggest New Years party in Canada.
Diodati wrapped up his comments by saying 'Wait until you see what we have planned for next year."
As for tomorrow night the Crashed Ice Championships run from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. and are free and open to the public, starting from the base of Skylon Tower.

Mitt Romney stars in the saddest documentary ever
"The country may think of you as a laughing stock and we'll know the truth and that's OK."
That's among the many sad quotes in the new trailer for "Mitt," a documentary Netflix will release Jan. 24. Greg Whiteley directed the film, which covers six years of exclusive access with the perennial campaigner.
The trailer promises viewers on either side of the aisle a new look at Romney, and it seems to deliver by showing one sad-sack moment after another: Romney describing himself as a flawed candidate; Romney sleeping on the floor of an airplane; Romney comparing himself to Dan Quayle; Romney realizing he lost and joking about not having the president's phone number.
As Emma Roller wrote for Slate, after watching the trailer, you can't help but feel a little sorry for the guy.

Public takeover of private Ojai water system to go to voters in August
The Casitas Municipal Water District board has unanimously agreed to let local voters decide on a proposed public takeover of the private Golden State Water Co. system in Ojai, setting an election for Aug. 27.
The board OK'd the plan after a public hearing Wednesday night at Matilija Junior High School. The proposal calls for creating a community facilities district, levying a special tax and approving two separate bond issues with a cap of $60 million, with the goal of taking over the Golden State franchise.
The vote will be by ballot at election places in the company's franchise area. Golden State, one of several water providers in the Ojai Valley, has about 2,900 customers. The measure needs a two-thirds voter approval to pass.
A group of residents angered by a series of Golden State rate increases organized Ojai FLOW, or Friends of Locally Owned Water, and began pushing for a public takeover. Casitas received petitions from Ojai residents urging action and has received the support of the Ojai City Council.
Golden State says it does not want to sell its Ojai system, but Casitas could acquire it through eminent domain. A court would have the final say on that — not voters — and decide on a "fair market value" for the system.
Casitas General Manager Steve Wickstrum said he hopes that before the matter went to court, Golden State would sit down to negotiate a fair settlement.
Santa Barbara attorney Steve Amerikaner, representing Golden State Water, made a presentation to the board Wednesday before its decision. He derided the Casitas plan as irresponsible, calling it "fire, ready, aim."
"This is a plan fraught with financial and legal risks," Amerikaner said.
He estimated the franchise is worth $55 million and said Golden State has water rights in the Ojai basin worth an additional $50 million, bringing the purchase price to $105 million.
Amerikaner said Casitas will lose in court, and taxpayers will be liable for all the costs of a failed takeover bid, plus Golden State's legal costs.
"Ojai property owners will have to pay $10 million for 30 years with nothing to show for it," he said, offering a variety of other worst-case scenarios and questioning the integrity of Ojai FLOW.
In a staff report, however, Casitas officials said Golden State's alleged water rights have not been determined in court and should have no effect on the purchase price. Golden State seems to be "using the $50 million figure in an effort to scare people into thinking a public acquisition ... would be infeasible," the report says.
Ryan Blatz, an attorney for Ojai FLOW, started his presentation by noting a water leak Wednesday on Signal Street, earning laughter from the audience. "Why are we here? We are here because of the failed regulation of Golden State's water rates by the PUC (Public Utilities Commission)," he said.
Blatz dismissed criticism of FLOW's original proposal, which set the purchase price at about $30 million. Casitas has made its own estimates using a different process than the FLOW proposal, he said.
According to a consultant hired by Casitas, the total cost should be about $42 million. Blatz said residents would benefit in the long run by paying lower rates than Golden State charges, noting its rate hikes have averaged 8 percent a year.
Some of those who spoke Wednesday against the acquisition were Casitas water customers outside the affected area concerned that their rates would rise, despite repeated assurances that the action would only affect Golden State customers. Others were concerned about the formation of a community facilities district, saying it could affect property values.
The vast majority of speakers who filled the school's auditorium, however, thanked Casitas and asked for the election.
Ojai Mayor Paul Blatz expressed his support for the move, as did Councilman Severo Lara.
"The city has supported Casitas in the process to acquire the water company ... I'm proud to live in this city — a city that in 1967 knew it wasn't going to have a lifetime agreement with the franchisee," Paul Blatz said.
County Supervisor Steve Bennett spoke to the board Wednesday "as a taxpayer and ratepayer in the Casitas district. The Board of Supervisors has not taken an official stand on this."
"This is an opportunity for Ojai residents to decide risks," Bennett said. "That's part of every election. Good things happen if you put issues before the community."

'Determined to win'-A A +A
Friday, July 19, 2013
IT HAS been Milan Melindo's dream to become a world champion since he first laced up gloves. After years of waiting, he won't let the opportunity of fulfilling his vision slip away.
ALA Gym head trainer Edito Villamor has helped mold Melindo's career from a young prospect to a world title contender and the former world title contender-turned-boxing trainer has never seen his 25-year-old ward so determined and focused.
"He has improved a lot right now, his skills, power and mental preparation. It has been his dream to fight for a world title when he started boxing," ALA Gym head trainer Edito Villamor told Sun.Star Cebu. "He has doubled his effort now compared to his training camp in previous fights. He is very determined to win."
Melindo, who has been waiting for years for a world title shot, challenges World Boxing Organization (WBO) and World Boxing Association (WBA) flyweight titleholder Juan Francisco Estrada on July 27 at the Cotai Arena of the Venetian Casino and Resort in Macau.
Melindo had some quality sparring partners in International Boxing Federation light flyweight titleholder Johnriel Casimero, world-rated Arthur Villanueva and Melvin Gumban.
Francisco, 24-2 with 18 knockouts, snagged the twin world titles following a split decision win over Filipino-Hawaiian Brian Viloria last April in Macau. Melindo, 29-0 with 12 knockouts, also won in that same event, a fourth round technical knockout over Tommy Serran.
Although Villamor hopes that Melindo wins, he isn't sure on how the fight will play out because both boxers have opposite styles. He, however, didn't count out a knockout win by Melindo.
"It depends on the actual fight, on who adjusts first in their fight. Milan is a counter-puncher, while Estrada is a slugger boxer," said Villamor. "He has improved his power. It depends on the timing, because a knockout will come if he perfectly times his punch."
Unbeaten prospect Genesis Servania is also slated in the undercard in his first international fight.
The 21-year-old Servania (21-0, 8 KOs) is up against one-time world title challenger Konosuke Tomiyama (23-5-1, 8 KOs) in a 10-round bout.
Melindo and Servania along with their corner Villamor, Michael Domingo, Robert Labanza and Abet Biagan will leave for Macau on Sunday.

Bataclava Knitting Pattern: Make Your Own Batman Cowl Hat
by postpunkpixie on Jan 29, 2008 with 20 Comments
Knitting pattern for a bataclava designed to look like Batman's cowl.
If you use this pattern, please do not sell the finished hat.
Make a Batman cowl hat for you or the Bat-fan in your life! It's an adult-sized hat, I don't have any stray children around to make one to fit a smaller head, but you're welcome to adapt it to fit a junior bat-fan.
For more pictures, check here and here.
- 1 ball of 100gr Worsted weight wool in a dark colour (mine was navy simply because I had a lot of that lying around, black would e good, even purple would be fun for the Adam West look!)
- 1 set of 6mm dpns
- 1 pair of 4mm straight needles
- 2 large buttons
- 2 stitch holders
- stitch markers (or scrap yarn)
- safety pins
- sts: stitches
- K: knit
- K2tog: knit two together
Hat Section
- Cast on 84 stitches. Knit in stocking stitch for 5 inches. Place a marker every 12 stitches.
- *K2 tog. before each marker, knit one round plain* 4 times, then k2 together before marker on every round until there are 7 stitches left on needle. Break off yarn, leaving a fairly long tail. Draw tail through remaining 7 sts, pull firmly, and draw through to inside of hat.
- You will now have something looking rather like a skull cap.
Neck Section
- Pick up 60 stitches from the cast on row of the hat. Knit five rows in stocking stitch. Now knit 30 sts, place marker, knit 30 sts. On every row for the next 2½ to 3 inches, decrease on either side of the marker. This will shape the hat to the back of your head/neck and create a neat little ridge along the back of the hat.
- End on WS and at the beginning of the next row, cast on another 5 stitches.
- Continue for 1 inch.
- Buttonhole row: Knit 3, YO, knit to end.
- Next row Knit to four before end, ktog, knit 2.
- Continue for another 2 to 2½ inches, then repeat the buttonhole.
- Continue for another 1 ½ inches.
- Place markers every five stitches, then for the next 2 ½ inches knit into front and back of the stitch directly in front of each marker on RS rows. This creates cute little ruffles that give the cowl a nice bat-like edge.
- Cast off.
- You will now have what looks like a cross between a balaclava and an aviator's hat. Put the hat on, and stretch the buttonhole side of the neck part across under your chin. Mark where the holes are on the other side (I used safety pins, just don't stab yourself) and sew on your buttons there.
Mask Section
Keep putting the hat on to check where your eyes and nose are and that you're going in the right place. This bit can be a bit fiddly.
Using smaller needles, pick up the remaining 24 stitches from the cast-on row of the "hat". Knit first row, knitting into front and back of each stitch, so that you have 48 sts by the end of the row. Work three rows (or until around the level of your eyebrows) in seed stitch.
- To anchor the eye holes, work 9 sts (or to about ½ inch to the side of you eye) and slip onto stitch holder, bind off 8 sts, work 14 sts (this will be the bridge of your nose) and place onto stitch holder, bind off 8 sts, work 9 sts.
- Work the next 2 rows in seed stitch, on third row, work 7 then k2tog.
- Place sts on stitch holder. Repeat these 3 rows for the other side.
- Pick up the 14 sts from the middle section (nose). K2tog, work 10, k2tog.
- Next row, k2tog, work 8sts, k2tog
- Next row, k2 tog, work 6 sts, k2tog.
- Place sts on stitch marker.
- Now take the stitches from one of the side markers. Work those 8 sts, then cast on 12 sts, pick up and work the 8 sts from the middle marker, cast on 12, pick upand work 8 sts from other side. (you should now have 48 sts again)
- Work 1 inch in seed stitch (or until just below your cheekbone)
- Now you're working the section that will cover your nose
- Row 1: Bind off 5 sts, seed stitch to end
- Row 2: Bind off 5 sts, seed stitch to end (38 sts)
- Row 3: Bind off 6 sts, seed stitch to end
- Row 4: Bind off 6 sts, seed stitch to end (26 sts remain)
- Row 5: Bind off 6 sts, seed stitch to end
- Row 6: Bind off 6 sts, seed stitch to end (14 sts remain)
- Row 7: Bind off 4 sts, seed stitch to end
- Row 8, Bind off 4 sts, seed stitch to end (6 sts remain)
- Row 9: Bind off 2 sts, seed stitch to end
- Row 10 : Bind off 2 sts, seed stitch to end (2 sts remain)
- Row 11: Bind off last 2 sts.
Weave in all ends. Now using two safety pins, pin your "mask" to the sides of you "neck" section, placing the pins by the corners before the reductions to the nose. Sew both of these sides from the cast on row of the "hat" to these corners. (NB, you may want to use a small amount of wire to keep the eyes and the nose the right shape. Remember, the eyes should be almost triangular.)
- Put on the hat and mark where your ears are, then put a marker (I used safety pins) about 3 inches above them (about 2 inches above the cast on row of the hat).
- Pick up 12 sts from the side of the hat starting from this marker and going upwards towards the top of the hat.
- Row 1: work 12 sts in seed stitch
- Row 2: Bind off 4, work 8 sts in seed stitch.
- Row 3: Bind off remaining 4 sts.
- Now turn your work so that the three rows you just knitted are now vertical, and pick up the end stitch of each row (3 sts), pick up 4 further sts from the top of the hat. (if that makes sense)
- Row 1: work 7 sts in seed stitch
- Row 2: k2tog, work 6
- Row 3: k2tog work 5
- Row 4: work 6 sts
- Row 5: k2tog work 5
- Row 6: k2tog work 4
- Row 7: work 5
- Row 8: k2tog work 3
- Row 9: k2tog work 2
- Row 10: work 3
- Row 11: k2tog work 1
- Row 12: Bind off last 2 sts and pull end to create point.
- Repeat for other side and weave in all ends.
And there you have it! Find a cape and go running around scaring disreputable folk!

this is amazing and thank you so much. my friend's birthday is coming and he loves batman. like its ridiculous the stuff he does because of batman.
You're welcome! this is my first pattern ever, so I'm sorry if some of it makes no sense. Ooh and please post pictures if you make one, I'd be really interested to see how yours turns out.
My husband loves Batman, Adam West is the one true Batman. He is having me make him this great hat for Halloween this year. I am in the middle of making the mask in the front. I was wondering if there might be an alternative way to make the front piece? That way you wouldn't have so many ends to weave in later. If I can figure it out later I'll pass on. Thanks for the pattern.
BatMan mask for my hubby
That's just fabulous Aviva! Love the colours, very Adam West. Thanks for posting the picture.
I have started the bataclava with circular needles but am stuck on the neck section – is it supposed to be a different stitch and is it supposed to be an unbroken circle or with a gap?
zijagina, it doesn't matter what stitch you use for the neck, I did mine in seed stitch because I wanted the thickness, but it's up to you. It's not an unbroken circle, it has a gap and buttons up at the front.
The batman balaclava is brilliant.
Holy mackerel Betman! Wish I coul knit!
"dpns" is the abbreviation for "Double pointed needles" used for knitting in the round.
Hope your brother likes the balaclava, Linda.
I sure wish you had a printer friendly version of this pattern!
that looks great.
great information.
Hi emma,
I am making this for my halloween outfit this year, but instead i am using it to be a fly lol. I was wondering what the finished thing measures in inches around the head? because i have jut started it and it looks really small :s
Don't worry, Sophie, it's pretty strechy. It should stretch to at least 24 inches in diameter, probably more.

Home > Boston Weather >
Boston weather in November ranges from warm and glorious to cold and bitter - with many possibilities in between.
If you're planning to visit Boston in November, knowing what kind of weather to expect will give you the best travel experience.
Check out the photo galleries on this page showing Boston scenes on sunny, beautiful days.
November brings its share of rain and occasionally snow as well - so be sure to check out our packing suggestions later on this page.
November weather in Boston can be hard to beat - when it's good.
At its best, clear blue skies and warm, balmy days enable us to go into denial about the winter months ahead. Colder, rainy, even snowy days, make us appreciate the nicer days even more.
The images in this photo gallery show what early November Boston weather can look like. Note how many leaves still cling to the trees.
Move your mouse over each small thumbnail image to see a bigger photo.
Photos of Boston November weather scenes, from left to right:
1) Boston Weather in November: Lagoon in Boston's Public Garden, photographed on Nov 7
2) Public Garden, Boston, Nov 7
3) Boston Common Central Burying Ground, Nov 7
4) Downtown Boston and Charles River, Nov 7
5) Marlborough Street in Back Bay, Boston, Nov 6
November weather in Boston differs every year . Although warm weather, sometimes called "Indian Summer," may characterize the first part of the month, Thanksgiving temperatures at the end of the month may also be balmy.
Or not. Nor'easters, freezing rain, snow . . . all possible, and to some degree, probable. The only predictable thing about Boston weather in November is that it's unpredictable.
Average November high temperature: 58° F
Average November low temperature: 38° F
Record high temperature for November: 83° F (1950)
Record low temperature for November: -2° F (1875)
Average precipitation for November: 3.58 inches
The November - December timeframe typically brings the first significant snowfall to Boston - although October 28 snowfall, followed by a bigger weekend storm, reminds us that snow can come earlier! If you are planning to travel, weather can be a big consideration when deciding what to pack, so be sure to check the Boston weather report before coming.
In addition to my regular suggestions about what to pack for your Boston trip, be sure to bring plenty of layers - sweaters, jackets, warm vest, rainproof gear - so that you'll be ready for whatever Boston weather in November comes your way.
As I'm writing this page on November 10, the temperature is in the mid-60s - a stretch of warm, beautiful weather lasting for several days, with a few more predicted. Note, though, that in the pictures taken on November 6 and 7 in the above photo gallery, plenty of people including me were wearing warm jackets.
The photos of the North End in the photo gallery at the bottom of this page were taken last year a few days before Thanksgiving, on a day with a strong wind so cold that my fingers felt frozen and numb after 10 minutes, even with gloves on.
Particularly if you're visiting Boston toward the end of the month, pack a warm jacket or coat, insulated gloves, a hat, and scarf. Warm socks will also make you happy. Boots are a plus.
November is the perfect month for walking around the city and enjoying the last of the fall foliage, bright red seed pods hanging from small trees, many-hued chrysanthemums and other autumn blooms, and orange pumpkins left over from Halloween.
Even if the weather isn't so nice, dress warmly and go out anyway.
Just in case you're visiting and rain starts falling, check out my suggestions for rainy day activities in Boston.
If you're visiting with your children, take a look at the outdoor and indoor options on my best kids' activities recommendations.
And on cold nights, stay warm and have fun at Boston theaters, movies, bars and clubs, and restaurants.
The photos in this gallery show Boston during late November, when the weather typically turns colder and most leaves drop off the trees.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — Albany State head football coach Mike White has heard all about the recent Twitter issues in college football — from players getting disciplined for derogatory tweets, to sending out pictures of playbooks, to coaches banning the social media site altogether.
White, however, said this week at practice that the issue hasn't been a problem with his players.
And he'd like to keep it that way.
"We talked about that the very first day, about how we should handle ourselves and who you think you are talking to," White said. "You are talking to thousands of people and everybody who is on the Internet. All of our opponents look at that, and if they were in front of you, then you wouldn't have said that. That's the way you gotta look at it."
The issue has recently been a hot topic around college campuses since Florida State defensive back Tyler Hunter, a sophomore from Valdosta, tweeted "kill cops" during a routine traffic stop.
Florida State has since joined the long list of college football programs to ban its players from using Twitter, but White said he doesn't see that happening at Albany State.
"It hasn't been a problem, and I hope it doesn't become a problem," he said. "I remember a few years ago — I don't remember the team — but we had some guys chattering back and forth about an upcoming game. I thought about (banning) it at that time, but I think the younger coaches monitor that more than I do."
And the coaches aren't just monitoring the trash-talking between teams. White said he wants to make sure none of his players give any secrets away like Georgia offensive lineman Hunter Long, who recently tweeted images of his team's playbook, or Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams, who did the same.
"I just don't want it to become a problem or an issue with us trash-talking or saying something negative about a guy or a team or giving out something we might be trying to do by just talking with somebody else and blabbing about something you shouldn't say," White said.
White said the team gets plenty of publicity as it is from local media outlets.
"I got six calls the other day when I walked in the house. It was 10 minutes after 11, and my wife said, 'Hey, you got several messages.' I listened to them, and everybody was talking about the (new) quarterback (we just signed). ... (Fans) keep up with our team, they track it by The Herald. I don't think anybody else gets the same coverage as we do, which is a good thing. These guys enjoy it. It gets our program out. I definitely have to answer a lot of questions from people. (But)if I hadn't read The Herald, I would be wondering where in the world they got that (information) from."
-- Mike White,
ASU coach lauding the coverage his team gets by The Herald and how it raises the visibility of his program
"Out of all the teams we play, I don't think anybody is on the Internet as much as us because of the press here," White said. "The Albany Herald covers us and it ends up (all over the Internet). Fort Valley sometimes gets in the Macon (Telegraph), but the rest of the teams don't get coverage like we do. It's not a bad thing."
White gave the example of earlier in the week when The Herald first reported that the team signed former Florida Atlantic QB David Kooi.
"I got six calls the other day when I walked in the house," White said. "It was 10 minutes after 11, and my wife said, 'Hey, you got several messages.' I listened to them, and everybody was talking about the quarterback. ... (Fans) keep up with our team, they track it by The Herald."
White later added: "I don't think anybody else gets the same coverage as we do, which is a good thing. These guys enjoy it. It gets our program out. I definitely have to answer a lot of questions from people. (But) if I hadn't read The Herald, I would be wondering where in the world they got that (information) from."
ASU'S KICKING WOES OVER?: Albany State went halfway around the world last season to try to cure its kicking woes.
As it turns out, the answer might have been a little closer to home.
Australian rules kicker/punter Luke Jones didn't work out, and the team's other two kickers — Brandon Hamilton and Tory Torstenson — aren't back either. But White is optimistic that the new trio of Justin Keable, Zack Holley and Dillan Fontaine will provide some stability in the kicking game.
Keable, a native of DeLand, Fla., and former star punter at Bethune-Cookman, has already locked up the starting punter job, while Holley and Fontaine will battle for the starting spot at place kicker.
"We are hoping very much that Justin answers all of our (punter problems) this year. He has a lot of football intelligence," White said. "I'm hoping (either Holley or Fontaine) just goes out and outdoes the other one. We are getting ready to start keeping up with their numbers and stats during practice so we can make a good decision."
Jones, meanwhile, is back in Australia, Hamilton was ruled academically ineligible and Torstenson graduated. Hamilton, who nailed 13 of his 17 field goals, was the only one of the three who had any success last season — Jones' Aussie talents didn't transition onto the gridiron, and he averaged just 32.8 yards per punt, while Torstenson was a paltry 26-for-36 in PATs.
It's been years since the Rams have had consistency in the kicking game, but Keable, who was a two-time All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference punter and averaged 42.2 yards per punt his final season, thinks he can solve that problem.
"It feels a little exciting that you can contribute to a program that otherwise might not know how to recruit at that position," Keable said. "I think we are going to look really good (in the kicking game) this year."
White said Keable, who sat out last season because of eligibility issues, is capable of being a key part of the team.
"He has a lot of knowledge about kicking," White said. "As a matter of fact, he has more knowledge about kicking than I do. I ask him questions about kicking and punting. I think he is going to have a good year.
"He has been waiting to punt. He is hungry to get back on the field."

Crime labs under the microscope after a string of shoddy, suspect and fraudulent results
By Mark Hansen
Sep 1, 2013, 10:20 am CDT
Takeaway: Even if you assume "forensic science is a science," it does not necessarily follow that "all 'forensic scientists' are scientists."
By Scales on 2013 09 03, 5:02 pm CDT
See attached—PHS, inc is the "impaired physicians " organization that is a front group for 12-step prohibitionist that coerces and controls doctors under the guise of benevolence and USDTL is a major forensic commercial drug testing lab.
What is important here is it is not just a rogue lab tech but Joseph Jones VP of lab operations committing fraud.
Take a look at the docs—shows how easy if is to fabricate a positive test on someone. The paperwork suggests adding a collection date and unique identifier to show a chain of custody on an already positive sample is SOP.
This shows a lack of integrity and grievous misconduct that puts into question the results of all testing done by both groups. it is a public health emergency that needs exposure, accountability, and reform.

Documents showing forensic fraud between MA State contractor and a major forensic drug testing lab. Fabrication, collusion, and crime
By Robert Jimbo on 2013 09 05, 7:32 pm CDT
Being a conspiracy specialist this all appears to me ever so simple. There are so many of these "disasters" all caused by the domino effect of just a few bad decisions. These few, perhaps
limited to just three, were and are probably responsible for the great preponderance of all our major issues
today. As one major criminal who hid the jewelry in the ceiling, successfully, said, "Nobody looks up."
A crime lab fiasco of this proportion, in my opinion, demands criminal prosecution throughout the ranks, even to those whom one might argue to be immune. Against such insidious, rampant, and wonton disregard for the few rights we retain, this is the straw that broke my opinion of prosecutor immunity. After all, did they ever check the facts to be factual?
And that's where it all begins…..
By overdahill on 2013 09 06, 12:58 pm CDT
Law enforcement is a world unto itself. Politicians praise law enforcement to the hilt but don't get involved in the deails because that might be controversial.
Television shows show us how great the forensic folks are.
Finally, this involves a government agency. Since when is government really competent? Oh well, onto Obamacare and putting the government in charge of medical insurance coverage.
By lex on 2013 09 06, 1:02 pm CDT
good work but you are just scratching the surface; look at the david camm case in Indiana which is now in its third trial after 2 mistrials. The forensic nightmare in that case is High Velocity Impact Back Spatter which allegedly proves David Camm murdered his wife and kids. 4 experts for the prosecution and 4 experts for the defense with exactly opposite things to say about whether it is or isn't HVIBS; and on that evidence, and mainly on that evidence, 12 lay jurors are supposed to ferret out whether Camm deserves to go to jail for the next 225 years or so. He has been in jail for 13 years based on this evidence while be tried, convicted, unconvicted, tried, convicted and unconvicted. THE STATE'S EXPERTS SWEAR UP AND DOWN THAT 9 MICRODOTS OF BLOOD PROVE UNEQUIVOCALLY HE MURDERED HIS FAMILY. The defense experts swear up and down they do not. This is dangerous stuff to be convicting people on; evidence that is merely educated guesses as best I can tell. And these experts are making money hand over fist to say that something is "consistent" with the thing the person paying them wants it to be consistent with. Its shocking to me.
By camm supporter on 2013 09 06, 1:21 pm CDT
to lex (luther?)
1) Politicians get involved with whatever they believe is mostly in their best interests. They love controversy as it gives them free publicity and power, and maybe a few dollars. The issue is with law enforcement that they need more relaxed rules to effectively do their jobs concurrently with far more extreme penalties for abuse of that power. Make the punishment fit the crime.
2) I dispute, with my family so involved with those TV shows and always wanting to show balance, some of those NY law shows did depict the lab's arrogance warning us of the reality. So many in TV fought for us as Peter Bergmann of 20/20 and Jack Klugman in Quincy over FAA oversight, in my opinion you see,
Its TV that shows us how great the forensic folks COULD be.
3) Government is a word. Its the people who perform the service that need to have their feet held to the fire
when they abuse their responsibilities to the degree we see today.
4) Having been involved with the insurance industry and all that Jazz, Obie 1 and medical coverage
may have the right idea, just a plethora of again, poor decisions not recognizing the fundamental cause of the issues at hand today. For example, some blue insurance used to brag that over 90% of premiums were returned as benefits. Today, check the "excess revenue" chart of account and the staggeringly excessive overhead costs. Nationalize insurance rules and regulations with criminal penalties for abuse that have sharp teeth.
Want details…keep me going
By overdahill on 2013 09 06, 1:22 pm CDT
As a Ph.D. chemist and now practicing attorney, it is scary how much stuff is taken as science when any reputable scientist, let alone the academy of science, says the testing methods are a bunch of bunk. Look at lead bullet analysis. How about the breathalyzer? When a testing method is secretive with how the machine does the calculations, etc., be careful. Unfortunately a lot of forensic science is just observations of a few examples and applying it wholesale. It is not a science like chemistry, physics, or even biology where experiments with null hypothesis are made. Remember the phrase trust us. Well, looks like NSA is hacking our credit card information and medical records. Not at all a surprise since forensics is part of law enforcement.
By Told you so on 2013 09 06, 1:24 pm CDT
PhD chemist—did you ever work in a crime lab? Did you ever actually practice laboratory chemistry? I am also a former chemist (only MS though), now lawyer, and I actually once worked in a crime lab in a very large city….was there while they were going through the ASCLD accreditation process. We had very rigid QA/QC procedures, evidence tracking, etc. Cameras in the labs.
Not all forensic science is crap. Certainly not the instrumental analytical methods.
Obviously there are some bad apples working in crime labs (just like there are everywhere) but that doesn't mean all crime labs are untrustworthy or that forensic science is all bunk.
Amazing how the loony teapartiers somehow come back to Obamacare on *each* *and* *every* topic posted here, no matter how irrelevant…..
By former criminalist on 2013 09 06, 3:31 pm CDT
camm supporter: Neither of Camm's first two trials ended in a mistrial. He was convicted both times, and his convictions were overturned on appeal due to improper admission of character evidence and hearsay. Your comments don't relate to the accuracy of anything a crime lab did, but what weight should be given to the blood splatter evidence. By the way, DNA evidence from the scene revealed the involvement of Charles Boney, whom Camm is arguing acted alone.
That's not to say there aren't problems with labs in Indiana. An audit of the Department of Toxicology in 2011 revealed problems with the testing of blood and urine samples. Results were released only to prosecutors.
By cite it on 2013 09 06, 3:35 pm CDT
A process is only as good as the people doing it. This problem is an example of the larger issue which is the "professionalization" veneer covering so many sectors of our economy. With such an explosion in consumption availability, people everywhere, with all the faults inherit in homo sapiens, are part of organizations that pretend to have a level of competency needed to fulfill the responsibility given, only so they can feather their nests with the time they have. I don't mean to rant (too late), but it is obvious to me that the continued defunding of public institutions, the celebration and acceptance of the primacy of the individual over the collective, and the inability to acknowledge on a national scale the mistakes of the past and the present, if only to maintain our own sense of self-worth, portend a continued path to greater injustice and despair for the world's burgeoning population.

I'd also like to say that I'm happy, for once, that I'm supportive of the ABA House of Delegates for doing something, (even if it is merely leading from behind). But I'd like to take issue with this statement, by Professor Giannelli: "[W]e can't delegate to a private organization what should rightfully be a function of the government," Under such reasoning, the police should design and build their own police radios, and police cars. After all, these are used in the investigation of crime. Police uniforms? Who better to design and manufacture them than Officer Friendly and his brothers in blue? The same could be said of police stations themselves. Shouldn't the police design and construct them, brick by brick? Heck. Shouldn't judges and prosecutors be on the police payroll, they are merely assisting the police in fighting crime after all.
I hate to sound like a Republican for once, God forbid, but I believe that the more distant (and commercial) the relationship is between a science lab and the "consumers," the less likely "chummy relationships" are likely to develop between a prosecutor and a "Little Annie" and fudge results. In the free market, blood testing labs seem to be doing a bang up job.
I'd recommend devoting our efforts to building a "Chinese Wall" of sound commercial distance between the police's prosecutors and the evidence the police collect. I'd feel safer if a "Walgreens" or a "Walmart " or a "Costco" Forensic Lab was doing the testing, for example, than someone lavished with the personal praise of a prosecutor. "Yeah, I think she's great. She says what I want on that stand, and so do her reports." OMG.
I could drone on and on about this wonderful article, but that's the only significant thing I had to say. And God forbid I start smelling like a Republican.

This shows an unfortunate inattention to foundation on all sides of the case. The St. Paul, Minnesota lab is a perfect example. It was wrong at a fundamental level for a long time, until an assistant public defender actually visited the facility to check case foundation and saw what was happening there. Thousands of cases must have been impacted, in which these issues were missed by thousands of defense attorneys and prosecutors alike, because nobody went back to square one to check the validity of the "sicence" being employed in those cases.

Judges are the next part of the problem, however. I had a case where the Intoxylizer misprinted the officer's name, even though it gets the name off a magnetically swiped card. The prosecutor brought in a person from the state lab to qualify him as an expert and opine that nothing was wrong with the Intoxylizer that would affect the breath result. I objected to him being qualified as an expert and said I wanted to voir dire him first, which the judge let me do. "Is the officer's card magnetic or does it contain a chip?" "I don't know." "Is the officer's name recorded on the card in binary, in straight-english, or what?" "I don't know." "What processor powers the Intoxylizer 5000?" "I don't know what a 'processor' is." "Does the same processor, or computer chip, or transistor, or what-have-you process the breath-sample as the part that processes the officer's ID card?" "I don't know." "Your honor, I object to this man being classified an expert to opine on whether the card-reading error is indicative of, mutually exclusive of, or silent as to any error in the processing of the breath sample." "Overruled. He's an expert. Go ahead." He then went on to testify that the card-reading problem doesn't indicate a breath-reading problem because he was told it didn't by someone else back when he received his training. Oh…I see what makes a person an "expert"...the fact that they have had the benefit of some hearsay that we have been offered no foundation on! I really could not believe that judge issued that ruling with a straight face. i would have understood, had he said, "Hey, okay…he's not an expert, he doesn't get to opine on the subject, ...but likewise, you haven't proven that the card-reading problem indicates a breath-reading problem. And that would have been true. But it would have sounded ever so slightly not-in-the-prosecution's-hip-pocket, and we can't have that.

It is why we have expert voir dire, and why we have appellate courts. So of course, you appealed that?
By B. McLeod on 2013 09 09, 12:02 am CDT
This is an interesting article. I've noticed the "advocacy" community has taken an unusual stance of using questionable logic to extrapolate that "bad apples" means an entire system is bad. Are there not those in the legal system who have been censorced, sanctioned, and had lisences revocked? Certainly. Is the legal system in need of improvement? One would be foolish to think it doesn't. Do these facts mean the entire system is bad? Certainly not.
Chanting from the town tower that the system needs to be fixed, AND the legal community is the only one who knows how to do it, is not only disengenious, but it is unprofessional. I feel comfortable saying there are probably few regular readers of this journal who understand scientific methods and techniques. Even fewer who understand what actually happens within a scientific community.
To be fair, yes, the cloak of accredidation is used too often as a "don't look at me because I am obviously doing it right". But, just as true, to pretend that the generic "defense council" is more worried about truth than the generic "forensic expert" is laughable.
If the goal is to truly improve the system, build capacity and ensure adequate safeguards then this is a telling article.
I see agenda written all over this. This agenda doesn't necessarily seek the truth. That should not really suprise anyone reading this article.

Really interesting article. This is where a research "bias" affects innocents. Good Job.

It scares me to think that your life may hang in the balance- no matter what part of the country you are in. I sort of expect it in some small towns where they don't have the budget for high tech equipment. But to see this type of mismanagement in large cities as well is beyond disbelief. Where are all the millions of dollars going from the "emergency" 9-11 fees added onto cell phone bills? They certainly don't come our way. Our firefighters are still waiting for updated sat phones and global communication systems, and our county is still relying on a computer system to connect to everyone in a case of disaster that likely will need generators to run. Why can't these emergency systems get more money, and things like these labs get up to date facilities, as well? The money is already there.

Having had direct experience with law officers telling lies in court, I am not surprised that their lab people are similarly deceitful.

The History of the French Braid
Why, Exactly, Is It Called a French Braid?
If we're looking for the origins of modern-day French braids, Eurasia isn't even the right continent. Instead, the place to start is North Africa. People have been wearing the three-strand gathered plait for thousands of years, and the earliest evidence of the style comes to us from the Tassili n'Ajjer mountain range in Algeria. There, rock art depicting women wearing rowed braids dates back almost 6,000 years. In the millenia following, the style also appeared in early Greek art, particularly iconic kouros statues, on Celtic warriors and lasses, and as part of the elaborate updos worn by courtly women of the Sung Dynasty.
It appears, really, that there are very few cultures unaware of French braids, making their unusual moniker even more puzzling. How could something so universal be named after a single country? Wisely, the French themselves don't even claim the style as their own.
So why are Americans so confused? We can trace the origins of this particular misnomer back to an 1871 short story from Arthur's Home Magazine in which a rather misogynistic husband tells his wife to "hurry up and put on that new cashmere I sent you, and do up your hair in that new French braid."
Perhaps because France has always been so immediately connected to fashion and high living to people on this side of the Atlantic, any "fancy" braid would have registered as Continental. Just like fries and a host of other things, our love affair with the French is writ large on our delicacies and refinements.
In short, although you can feel free to keep calling it a French braid, the hairstyle is actually one of humanity's oldest and most popular hair inventions, just as much in use now as it was in ancient Sparta. They aren't from Paris, but whatever you call them, gathered braids are unquestionably as timeless and chic as the City of Lights.

I pack samples when I fly in my cary-on, and this was the one I took with me on my most recent trip. The smell is fresh and summerish, but not overpowering. It is very pleasant and once I use some of my current stock up, I will consider ordering a bottle.
this fragrance it's too bold and evaporated really fast.
I got first introduced to this cologne on Birchbox. Great scent and very unique. Not like something everyone else is wearing. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it.
I am not usually a cologne guy, but my fiance loves this. It reminds her of a forest. I will think about purchasing when all of my samples run out.
the wife loved the cologne. I'm always looking for new cologne to wear. this is definitely something to consider buying
I liked the cologne sample and used it until the sample was gone. Received several compliments at work on how lite the smell was.
No like seriously this was such a great smelling cologne I enjoyed it so much I bought three bottles for my lovey is they all loved it all the girlfriends are but they're all over that like white on rice
This is just ok. I don't mind the scent but it doesn't drive me wild either. I like to try different colognes and change it up depending on my mood but this one didn't blow my mind.
Very clean scent. Perfect for any summer day or night. Not too overpowering. This is definitely being added to the list
Very refreshing smell. For me the scent is subtle and leaves an impression when entering an a room. I wish the sample was larger but otherwise this is great!

Kings and Castles is never going to happen, is it. Woe.
By Alice Lynton on January 19, 2013 at 12:16 pm
Strategy veteran developer Gas Powered Games has shocked the industry today by issuing significant lay-offs.
Word first came from industry sources, but the news was later confirmed by founder Chris Taylor himself, telling Kotaku that the experience has been largely positive and he'll be updating the public as soon as possible, and Gamasutra that he "had to slim WAY down to conserve cash reserves".Taylor also said that Gas Powered Games "spent all the last dough" it had on Wildman, its newly announced project, and has spent "the last several months working on it".
"So we're betting the company on it," he added.
The vast majority of Gas Powereewd Games' staff is believed to have been let go. The developer is requesting $1.1 million in funding for Wildman through Kickstarter, and recently wrapped its stint as content developer for Age of Empires Online. Its past works include the original Dungeon Siege games, Supreme Commander, the flawed but promising Demigod, and cancelled passion project Kings and Castles.

We offer a choice of a 5.5 mile or 3.3-mile run on Gay City's impressive trail system through the park and surrounding forests. Trails are well maintained but expect some rocks and roots along the way.
Gay City State Park is the remnants of an 18th century abandoned mill town in Hebron. You will pass the remains of the old paper mill, cross over the Blackledge River and view many traditional old stone walls in the deep woods. The park is located on Route 85, near the border of Bolton.

The number of people interested in town council seats this year was extraordinary, and many have taken their interest all the way to the ballot. The first test comes Sept. 17, in precincts 6 and 12, which is why this week's paper has our candidate profiles for the Centerville and Marstons Mills hopefuls, respectively.
After the prelim, you'll be seeing profiles of candidates for other contested seats – but we haven't forgotten those without challengers. Senior Reporter Kathleen Szmit will continue her conversations with the "shoo-ins" right up to Election Day.
And, yes, there will be televised Patriot debates, tentatively scheduled for the evenings of Oct. 21 and 24. We're happy to welcome retired publisher Rob Sennott back to the moderator's post.
We hope everyone, candidates and voters, will do their homework by Nov. 5 and cast informed votes.

WKU's chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority presented a check for $13,200 to the Family Enrichment Center of Bowling Green on Tuesday afternoon.
The proceeds were gathered at the sorority's ninth annual Shamrock Shootout, a five-on-five basketball tournament held March 26-27.
This year's event raised more than $16,000 to be divided between the Family Enrichment Center and Prevent Child Abuse America. Eighty percent of the proceeds will stay in Bowling Green and the remaining 20 percent will go to the national organization of Prevent Child Abuse America.
Nearly 60 teams participated in the event, allowing for a grand total of $13,200 to be donated to the Family Enrichment Center, a 250 percent increase from last year's donation. The check presentation was held May 10 at Wee Care on Broadway Avenue.
"As a committee chair for four years, its encouraging to see the tournament progressively grow," said senior Brooke Crigger. "With more and more people willing to get involved, Kappa Delta can truly help to make a difference in the lives of the children here in Bowling Green and in America."

Paul McCartney visits The Late Show
As Letterman says in the clip below, they had been trying to get him for 15 years with no success. McCartney had been in the studio before, of course, as a member of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 (and once for MTV), but this was his first time on Dave's show. He talks about coming to America back then and what the other band members were like.
(Here's video of the performance from McCartney and his band.)

1. Tbjoshuawatch, You are such as have argued about that which you had little knowledge, why now do you argue about that which you have no knowledge at all? God knows the truth about His servant Joshua and you do not because you are not near to him that He may reveal his prophet to you. You pretend to be a section of people with real scriptural knowledge to lead others astray, but it is only the people like yourselves that you lead astray, it is only you perceive it not.
2. Tbjoshuawatch, why do you deny the workings of the All-powerful, eternal LORD of the universe, while you are witnessing their truth with your very eyes in practical demonstration? Why do you confound the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth, and that too, deliberately? The Great God of the universe has singled out TB Joshua for the bestowal of such Divine prowess because He is one in whom HE is pleased. Being the father of Spirits, HE caused the fullness of His Divine Spirit to dwell in flesh that he desired, and rewrote Emmanuel in these last days, why does this offend you? So much that you tell lies about him and in God's Name deliberately? What do you think would be your recompense for doing this in the hereafter? The supreme God will not speak to you lovingly, nor look at you with affection on the day of RESURRECTION. Think not for a second that he will for this hold you guiltless, rather there awaits you a woeful punishment.
3. Why Tbjoshuawatch do you plan to hinder those who believe in the prophet from following the word of the LORD as he shows them? – You try to see crookedness in it while you yourselves are witnesses to its truth. Abhorrent hatred has already expressed itself through the articles you write with your hands, but even you yourselves know that what your hearts conceive about TB Joshua is far worse. If any good news rises about TB Joshua, it hurts you, but if an unpleasant report rises about the SCOAN, you rejoice amidst it, however know that your machination will do the SCOAN no harm at all, for what is from above is above all.
4. Why O Tbjoshuawatch are you so zealous to seal your fate among those destined for wrath? Are these articles of yours, spiting the SCOAN and condemning it with hateful speech how you guard against the fire that is prepared for the disbelievers? Why so eager to be inmates of eternal fire? You tempt those who believe and say I have spoken against the man, what then has happened to me? Am I not still as I was? Speaking against him is of no consequence – it is as speaking against a mere man, so you boastfully think in your hearts, but you think and say these things at your own peril and you perceive it not – for by such words you weary the LORD and mock the All-powerful ONE as one who cannot avenge His beloved One whom he made joint heir with His Son and you trample his slowness to anger underfoot.
5. Why O Tbjoshuawatch do you make light of the mercy the lord is showing you? Even when a host of angels cry for vengeance upon you? Indeed the LORD is slow to anger and abounding in LOVE but if you haters continue to make light of HIS Mercy while you live here on earth, and utter blasphemies against whom He has sent, be sure that when you vacate this residence of flesh, you shall not be given respite, you shall see the horrid torment you have so diligently labored for and it shall still be here as a testament against you before the LORD and the voice of the LORD's Angel telling you that this is that which you have so persistently asked about.

I love this verse, Estel is too adorable. Poor Elrond, he won't lose Estel, he will just gain Legolas :D
Author's Response: You are making my day with your kind feedback and praise. Thank you for reading and reviewing! :D Patty.
Oh, thank you for the translations at the end; I was going to ask about that! It's good to see someone else's POV about Legolas' and Estel's relationship, and I'm glad he doesn't have anything against it. Very well and delicately wrote, and I hope to read more of your stories soon!
Author's Response: Thank you for the kind & lovely feedback--It is truly appreciated. I hope to start writing again; I have been on a hiatus of sorts due to RL. I have read many wonderful A/L stories, but the majority of them seemed to be along the theme of a doomed relationship where Aragorn leaves Legolas for duty, marries Arwen and neither gets to follow their hearts. This is unacceptable to me. Why write fanfiction if you can't change things around? *g* Patty.
Crowd cue *aww* lol patty that was so so so cute with 'layglis' lol. I enjoyed that one alot don't mind my other review for portend i think i was sorta high...but anyways on a different note byeees!
Author's Response: I rather enjoyed that review and this one is so sweet and kind--thank you, Yun honey. Patty.
Gotta love adult Legolas and little Estel stories! That was wonderful and I enjoyed it very much!
Author's Response: Thank you, Ces--I am so very glad that they appeal to you. You are very sweet. Patty.

Off-duty SD officer who shot woman, son, testifies
VISTA, Calif. (AP) - An off-duty San Diego police officer who shot a woman and her 8-year-old son during a road-rage incident has testified that she looked high and "out-of-her-mind" at the time.
Frank White, who is on administrative leave without pay, took the stand in his own defense in Superior Court on Tuesday.
White said he pointed a gun at Rachel Silva and identified himself as a police officer after she had tailgated him and charged at his car several times in a parking lot. When she didn't respond, he fired five times, hitting Silva and her son. He says he wouldn't have shot if he had known a child was in the car.
He faces up to nine years in prison if convicted.

Seeing is believing, and if you've been curious about the release date for the highly-anticipated Dark Souls II, it appears that a giant E3 banner outside the LA Convention Center is all you'll need to be convinced of the game's yet-to-be-confirmed March 2014 release date.
As you can see in the picture above, a massive banner for Dark Souls II now hangs on the convention center exterior in preparation for E3 2013, which kicks off the week of June 10. Clearly visible are the words "March 2014", which we're of course assuming will soon be announced as the launch window for the game. The banner was photographed and tweeted out over the weekend, but publisher Namco Bandai is yet to make the date official.
That's all we know right now, but we'll of course keep you posted as we learn more. Until then, find out what you can expect from the game via the below video and feel free to let us know where Dark Souls II ranks on your most-anticipated games of E3 2013 in the comments!

Spammy Jammy 2011: Goodland's Little Bar celebrates all things Spam
GOODLAND - Patrons at the Little Bar did their part to thwart hurricanes this season. They gathered in their pajamas bringing gifts of Spam on Saturday night for Spammy Jammy. The party began at 6 p.m. and by 7 p.m. the entire Little Bar was packed with patrons and more than 20 entries. By 8 p.m. the front porch was also packed and more entries had poured in.
"There are a lot of regulars and a lot of people show up wondering what is going on," said employee Natalie Strom who was greeting guests and accepting entries at the front door.
The usually island crowd poured out in full force and there were some first time Spammy Jammers as well.
Cherrie Gorka and her husband Terry drove down from Bonita Springs, with their friends Bonnie and Frank Palumpo from Fort Myers.
"We all love Spam," Bonnie Palumpo said. "Cherrie found this in the news and she is always trying to entertain everyone. I think it is really cool and a lot of fun."
The Gorka's and Palumpo's call themselves connoisseurs of Spam. They were enjoying the Spam soups like split pea and Spam and cheese.
"I have done a full Spam dinner party, complete with silver trays, candlelight and chandeliers," said Cherrie Gorka.
"A day without Spam is like a day without sunshine," said Frank Palumpo. "I make the Old Boy Poor Boy, instead of ham, it is Spam."
The were also admiring the Spam sculptures.
"My favorite is the Spamectomy," Gorka said.
Spamectomy consisted of a surgery table setup and the process of a Spamectomy (similar to an appendectomy) taking place. This entry was the brainchild of Tara O'Neill, who has been a regular participant (and bartender at Little Bar) for the past 16 years.
"I've been a past winner in both food and art, my inspiration comes from working here," said O'Neill, laughing. "I wasn't going to enter this year, it was just one of those things when you let go. I was watching TV at 11 one night and when my husband woke up at 3 a.m. here was this whole spread."
Owner of Little Bar, Ray Bozicnik, was dressed as a circus ringmaster and was greeting all of his guests in the dining room, bar and in every nook and cranny of the bar. His creation, that was not entered into the judging but was displayed in the dining room, was BuckingSpam Palace. It was a large fountain with many deer, and other antlered animals, looking up toward a large swine that was spewing Spam. Guests were heard commenting that the consistency of the flowing Spam was a bit disturbing to behold, and would make one wonder how such a concoction would be created.
In the sculpture room more and more guests poured in to admire the sculptures and sample the food. Notable entries for the night were "Spammy Jammy" by Leslie McDavid and Julie Booth which was a replica of the Little Bar and showed memorable entries from previous years and also included the setup for a toilet paper race. Also the Spam-Monster Skunk Ape by Nile Duppstadt drew a lot of attention, as patrons wondered how the sculpture got the one-foot monster made of Spam to stand.
Gloria Libertad who as visiting from Uruguay seemed quiet amazed by the whole experience as she sat having dinner in her celestial print pajamas.
"I don't think we have Spam in Uruguay, we export beef, so we have a lot of beef."
She was seated with George and Staci Solomon of Manchester, NH who changed their flight arrangements when they heard about Spammy Jammy.
"We said, we've got to make this," Solomon said. "We love it."
