|The effects of ambient O(2) tension on epithelial metabolism and nitric oxide (NO) production (VNO) in the nasal airway were examined in nine healthy volunteers. Nasal VNO, O(2) consumption (VO(2)), and CO(2) production (VCO(2)) were measured during normoxia followed by gradual hypoxia from 21 to 0% O(2) concentration. Nasal VO(2), VCO(2), and respiratory quotient during normoxia were determined to be 1.19 +/- 0.04 ml/min, 1.60 +/- 0.04 ml/min, and 1.35 +/- 0.04, respectively. Hypoxia exposure to the nasal cavity significantly decreased both VCO(2) and VNO [VCO(2): 1.60 +/- 0.04 to 0.96 +/- 0.03 ml/min (P < 0.01), VNO: 530 +/- 15 to 336 +/- 9 nl/min (P < 0.01)]. VNO was reduced commensurately with gradual decline in O(2) tension, and the apparent K(m) value for O(2) was determined to be 23.0 microM. These results indicate that the nasal epithelial cells exchange O(2) and CO(2) with ambient air in the course of their metabolism and that nasal epithelial cells can synthesize NO by using ambient O(2) as a substrate. We conclude that air-borne O(2) diffuses into the epithelium where it may be utilized for either cell metabolism or NO synthesis.

The Thalmor was an Altmeri government established in Valenwood to serve as their representative in the Aldmeri Dominion (circa 2E 830), a union of the Bosmer and Altmer provinces. They claimed they had the authority to create this government on behalf of a local Bosmer claimant, Camoran Anamexes.[1] As Valenwood possessed no true government prior, the Thalmor purported to maintain order in the region to uplift their Bosmer brethren. The formation of the Thalmor was not an altruistic gesture, however: the Altmer sought to control Valenwood because the region, along with southern Hammerfell, harbored many pirate groups which threatened the shore of the Summerset Isles. The Altmer had become fed up with their long history of pirate attacks, and sought to secure the shores of Summerset by leaving those pirates no place from which to attack them. The Thalmor was dissolved a short time later when Tiber Septim brought Valenwood into his Empire using the overwhelming power of the Numidium.[2]
Centuries later, a new incarnation of the Thalmor arose in the Summerset Isles, reportedly claiming to have saved the Altmeri people from the Oblivion Crisis.[3] In 4E 22, the Thalmor took control of the Summerset Isles and renamed them Alinor.[4] Valenwood was brought under the Thalmor's control in 4E 29, recreating the Aldmeri Dominion, and later, what was once the Elsweyr Confederacy reverted back to the ancient kingdoms which had formed it, now acting as client states of the Thalmor.[4] It is said that of all of his enemies, Titus Mede never managed to defeat the Thalmor,[5] and it would be Titus Mede II who would pay the price. When Titus II inherited the Imperial throne, the Thalmor instigated the Great War with him by delivering a series of ultimatums to the Imperial City, then presenting the head of every Blades agent in the Aldmeri Dominion when he refused their demands. After four years of bloody war, the Emperor was forced to sign the White-Gold Concordat, essentially giving in to their demands. One of the terms was the outlawing of the worship of Talos, and the right of the Thalmor to enforce that ban within the Empire. Another term of the Concordat was that the Empire relinquish large tracts of land in southern Hammerfell to the Dominion. Even though the Empire acquiesced, the Redguards of Hammerfell fought on and eventually repulsed the Thalmor from their territory, leading opponents to believe that the Concordat was a mistake, and Titus Mede II overestimated the Thalmor's strength when he signed it.
Nevertheless, the Thalmor have the legal authority to root out and persecute Talos worshippers. They carry out campaigns to do so from their embassies in various provinces, which also allows them to gather extensive information on the Empire's internal affairs. It's widely known that they see men as inferior and themselves as the rightful rulers of Tamriel, and it's believed that it is only a matter of time before they seek to act on that belief again.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The state Department of Children's Services will appeal a Nashville judge's ruling ordering the agency to release records at 50-cents per page.
A group of media organizations including The Tennessean and The Associated Press is suing the agency for the records of children DCS was supposed to be helping who later died or nearly died.
DCS originally said it would cost the media more than $55,000 for about 200 records.
Last month, Chancellor Carol McCoy ordered the expedited release of 50 records. She said the agency cannot charge for redacting personal information from the records.
The Tennessean reports DCS on Friday said it will appeal. The agency wants to charge almost $9,000 for 42 records. DCS says it is unable to provide records for the other eight children.

K.A. Owens
Academic genocide" is the charge made against all of us in Jefferson County and most specifically against our Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS).
We say not quite genocide but it is suicide. All of us in Metro Louisville, indeed, in the United States of America, are in danger of suicide unless we get over our differences and turn around the public schools that are failing our children.
The Kentucky Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression welcomes the wake-up call and accepts our share of responsibility to support JCPS, our teachers and parents to produce rapid and measurable results, beginning with our priority and focus schools.
We also, however, join JCPS and Jefferson County Teachers Association (JCTA) in saying that we feel the charge goes beyond the facts in its implication that we are all guilty of deliberate harmful intent. The need now is to join together for rapid and effective action.
There is no time for defending the past or blaming each other. We agree with Kentucky Commissioner of Education Terry Holliday, the JCPS board and JCTA that turning around the schools which are failing far too many of our students will require "much more than a school district effort; this is a community-wide problem." Those are the words of Commissioner Holliday, who went on to say, "This is about poverty, this is about kids who are not coming to school, this is about lack of parental engagement ..."
What specifically can we do to make a difference for our children?
First, we must continue what is already underway and working. We believe our entire community is already moving beyond the blame game as the 55,000 Degree Campaign continues into its second year with a strong partnership of organized business leaders, civic, religious, governmental, and educational institutions.
We must join with Commissioner Holliday to demand and work for an end to the two-tier system. Equal education for ALL must come before we can each have success for our children. If we expect JCPS to make sure that every student goes to a school where success for all is the norm, then all of us need to be willing to not pull out our children or move out of the county if our own children do not have access to a superior school.
Our first priority must be to rapidly reduce the numbers of students falling behind in the early grades, remembering that success for each does not necessarily mean equally perfect test scores. Did Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King, Jr. score the same?
The Kentucky Alliance will continue to push for an extension of this openness and regular dialogue to include more effective participation by parents and business groups. We understand that the Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission has also been trying to develop such organized dialogue with JCPS. This could be broadened to include other representative sectors of the entire community.
Ideally JCPS and the state will provide the professional leadership to bring agreement on several educational strategies that are already showing results. It will then be up to us in the community to push for action, provide adequate resources, and insure rapid progress.
The Kentucky Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression's Education Committee hopes to encourage JCPS and community support for intensified literacy projects in our priority and focus schools. Such projects should include curriculum materials that take into account the many cultures and interests of our urban students. They will also need teachers with effective training and experience in motivating every student to take active responsibility for their own learning.
We also believe that JCPS must give more priority to its early childhood education program. It is a waste of money to wait until students enter middle and high schools already years behind. Those who fall behind frequently have both learning and behavioral problems that have not received adequate attention. Instead of meeting the first sign with effective intervention designed for each child, we are too often resorting to one-size-fits-all, punishment-oriented discipline. That leads to suspension, loss of time learning, and dropouts.
Besides pushing for such specific efforts ourselves, we are ready to join with other parent, community and business groups in organizing collective community-wide support for our public schools and our teachers. Every day they face huge difficulties that mount year after year. They deserve all the help we can provide. JCTA reminds us that "Dr. Holliday suggested enhanced compensation and expanded instructional time at priority schools might be helpful."
JCTA President, Brent McKim goes on to say "?despite efforts by JCTA and our members in priority schools to discuss these and other potentially promising improvement strategies, little meaningful dialogue has occurred."
We must ask ourselves what stands in the way of such dialogue? Is it lack of will or unwillingness to believe that we can afford to pay the cost? Is it a lack of dialogue between JCPS and JCTA, or a failure of the community to demand and support change?
The Kentucky Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression understands that unemployment, homelessness, hopelessness and quiet desperation must be factored in to any criticism or analysis of public schools and not just test scores. We understand animus directed against "have-nots" undergirds societal attitudes toward public education and educational reforms. The Kentucky Alliance also understands that any of us could become unemployed, homeless, lose hope and become desperate. Therefore, we must work together to build a public school system that offers a good education to every child.

Ouch. That's Gonna Sting And Leave A Mark. A LLC Gets Its Veil Pierced.
A New York Federal Court recently found reason to "pierce the veil" of a Delaware Limited Liability Company. As we all know from Business Law 101, corporations and limited liability companies are formed to shield the assets of their owners from the liabilities of the entity. When a court finds adequate reason, it can remove the liability protection of such entities and such an action is called "piercing the veil".
In this case, Soroof Trading Development Company signed a distribution agreement with GE Fuel Cells LLC. This agreement gave Soroff exclusive rights to distribute fuel cells in Saudi Arabia. The members of the LLC were GE Microgen, Inc. and Plug Power, Inc. As luck would have it, the LLC failed to deliver the fuel cells for Soroff to distribute. Soroff was peeved. Lawsuits ensued.
The LLC was dissolved in 2006 and a certificate of cancellation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The LLC also (look, this is my shocked face) had no assets at the time it was dissolved. The individual members were not parties to the distribution agreement so one way to get to them (and their assets) was to attempt to pierce the veil.
Factors that courts consider when deciding to allow such piercing include whether the entity (either corporation or LLC) acted as an alter ego for the shareholder(s) or members. If it is virtually impossible to distinguish between the operation of the entity and the business of the members, a court will find liability under the alter ego theory.
In this case, the LLC had no assets at the time of dissolution, it had no employees and the individuals working at G E Fuel Cells were employees of the members or GE, it had no office space because it used the space leased by Plug Power and it did not have any signage reflecting its presence. The Court found this sufficient to grant a partial summary judgment piercing the veil.
Now, this opinion has some hair on it (as we say on the farm) because the court failed to cite any unfairness or inequity, which is generally required to grant a piercing. It also failed to annul the cancellation of the LLC, which leaves the LLC non-existent and under Delaware law, not susceptible to suit. If the LLC is not susceptible to suit, there is no liability to flow through to the members.
Maybe this will sorted out on the next appeal.
However, lessons to be learned here are to heed the advice we give to each LLC that we form as to the steps to be taken to minimize the likelihood that this might happen to you.

Elizabeth Halverson, Fat People, Jury Duty, State Judges
Twelve Angry Men, move over; now there's someone meatier. A juicy judicial celebrity sighting, from the Las Vegas Sun:
Suspended District Judge Elizabeth Halverson returned to the Regional Justice Center on Friday — for jury duty.
While waiting for an assignment, Halverson, who can't roll through the courthouse on her motorized scooter without attracting attention, turned quite a few heads, including those of several prosecutors at the district attorney's office, which is on the same floor as the jury service room.
Las Vegas lawyers: If you're hoping to have Halverson on your jury, sorry. Her Honor wound up being assigned to a civil trial that was subsequently postponed, "bringing an abrupt halt to her brief public service on the other side of the bench."

Despite this weekend's crossed fingers and high hopes from Florida and Oregon fans, speculation over which teams will play in Miami on Jan. 7 for the BCS National Championship has come to an end.
It comes down to three. The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame secured their spot with a win against USC.
The other spot goes to the winner of the SEC Championship Game: perennial powerhouse Alabama, representing the SEC West; and the rising Georgia Bulldogs, winners of the SEC East.
The two teams haven't met since 2008 when the Bulldogs, who were ranked #3 at the time, lost 41-30 to the then #10 Crimson Tide in what may prove to be the last ever "blackout" game Georgia has.
Leland Ragin, host of the Midday Mayhem and The Sports Wrap on ESPN radio, says this year could be different.
He points to UGA's defense, which has played very well over the last few games, and QB Aaron Murray who just eclipsed the 3,000-yard mark for the season for a third year in a row. He's the first quarterback in SEC history to do so. And, by the way, leads the nation in QB efficiency.
Ragin also says the combo of freshmen running backs Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall (or 'Gurshal' as the tandem has been called, slyly referencing UGA great Herschel Walker) is a threat the Bulldogs didn't have in 2008.
The running game, coupled with Murray's arm and defensive players like Bacarri Rambo and Jarvis Jones make the "Dawgs" a potent threat to the Crimson Tide's reign at the top of the SEC.
The Fighting Irish, who started unranked this season, completed their perfect regular season with a win over rival (and the preseason number one) USC Trojans.
With Heisman hopeful Manti Te'o leading the defense, Notre Dame fought for respect, coming out on top of a few close calls to finish the regular season at 12-0.
Now they have just one game to go to make their season perfect.
Ragin says the Irish will have a tough time dealing with the SEC, whether it's Georgia or Alabama. He says the size, speed, and talent of the conference are just too much for the number one team.
Of course, it should be noted, the last time The University of Georgia met Notre Dame in a National Title game was the 1980-81 season.
The Bulldogs took that game--and it's last national title--17-10.

I had never planned to sit on the CHLA/ABSC Board. I also never planned to be a librarian but it turns out things happen even if you don't plan them. When the (then) Past President Miriam Ticoll phoned to convince me to throw my hat in the ring for a 3 year commitment as VP, President and Past-President I paused. More meetings, more work....a volunteer position on top of all the other demands on my time. I thought about how great it is to see everyone at the conference every year and figured it was my turn to do the work. But I must admit that the value proposition eluded me...

Thursday was my fourth day in Northern Manitoba and I was excited about my first day in The Pas. However, the day didn't get off to the greatest start. The Super 8 Hotel doesn't have a gym, and it was too dark first thing in the morning to go for a run in a strange place. I didn't think that I was experiencing any adverse effects from travelling to three communities in four days, but after realizing that there wasn't a shower curtain in my bathroom (at a time too late for the front desk to bring me one), I then mixed up my toiletries bottles and accidently used lotion in my hair
Day three of my tour of Manitoba's Northern Health Region started in the gym of the Victoria Inn. For breakfast I was invited to the Executive Leadership Council of the region. Unfortunately there was some miscommunication about what and when the food was arriving, so one of the executives went to the McDonald's drive through for egg McMuffin's for the group. She was there and back in less than 13 minutes. This is one of the extreme advantages of small town living – it does NOT take a long time to get around!
Day two of my travelling road show to Northern Manitoba started with some time in the hotel's fitness facility, then a lovely hot breakfast which was included in the stay of the hotel. Casey, from the Office of Continuing Professional Development, joined our entourage and is travelling with us to do training sessions throughout the region on oral-systemic health for non-dental healthcare professionals.
This week I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to four communities in northern Manitoba where I will be promoting Manitoba's Health Information and Knowledge Network (MHIKNET)(pronounced "my net").
It is now just over a month after the 2014 CHLA Conference and earlier today I found myself still going to look at the photos on flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/117477725@N06/sets/ to remember the many great moments delivered to us (in two languages!) by the most excellent planning committee for Montréal 2014. This year's conference was busy for me but I still got to enjoy what I love most about our annual conference—getting to see so many friends from across Canada and always managing to meet a few new

Wall drawing #1091: arcs, circles and bands (room) 2003
Life is a blessing, but it may be contradicted upon the barriers to a 'paradise-like' life we hope to achieve. The multi-coloured arcs and circles express never-ending depression and anxiety we experience and the bands exemplify the restricted and collinear choices we are forced to take, when alternatives aren't available. The pure door stands align depicting the hope, happiness and success which are in grasp, with a bold step into the blissful future we aspire.

Stone line 1977
Across time, humans have taken inspiration of perfection from nature, yet have ultimately sought to abandon nature's own perfection. We have taken the uneven stone, cherished its impeccable strength, and built a thousand roads from its tar. Yet no man would walk as confidently if the roads he strode were made of untainted, rugged stones – and not the familiar passivity of tar. Long presents and humours this notion in Stone line as none of the audience are permitted to touch his work- due to artistic conventions – showing man's fear and reluctance to travel the rough road.

what do you want? 2002
all MOMENTS stop here and together we become every memory that has ever been 2002
if there were anything but desert, saturday 2002
if there were anything but desert, wednesday 2000
Walking through the AGNSW's Contemporary Gallery, a haunting melody reaches one's ears. Upon finding the source, one is confronted with a brightly lit room containing two isolated clowns (if there were anything but desert, saturday/wednesday), a large looping sound and wall installation (what do you want?), and a single window (all MOMENTS stop here and together we become every memory that has ever been). This is the exhibition space of Ugo Rondinone, a Swiss mixed media artist whose works often bear sombre, disquieting themes with a sense of timelessness that connects with the audience on personal and universal levels. All four works are visibly separate in their own manner, yet connect and relate with each other to form a sense of isolation and disconnection.
The idea of repetition is emphasised through the mosaic-like installation, as well as from the looped conversation between a man and a woman that emanates from speakers within the installation. The conversation is fraught with uncertainty, and miscommunication is evident, a problem that is prevalent in an increasingly technology-dependent society. Exhaustion, as though resulting from the repetition, is felt through the cheerless clowns lying oblivious and indifferent to the looped soundtrack.
Amongst the dispassionate tones of the conversation and the unsettling presence of the clowns, a single darkened window hangs on an expanse of wall. This plexiglass sculpture, 160.4cm in height, appears to offer an escape from the tension but, on closer inspection, merely holds a reflection of the room, now saturated with darkness.
In this exhibition, Rondinone creates a cycle of aimlessness, a limbo that envelops the audience. The viewer is confronted with common communication problems in relationships, the disconnection during human interactions in today's society, and how miscommunication can intensify isolation. This is a highly thought-provoking and worthwhile exhibition that leaves a deep impression.

Renaissance to Goya: prints and drawings from Spain
With a looming Eurozone bailout and 25 per cent unemployment, I can't imagine it's the greatest of their worries, but there's an old belief in the world of art history that the Spanish can't draw. According to Francisco Sánchez Cantón, director of the Prado in the Sixties, "the Spanish artistic temperament is given more to the magic of colour than the discipline of drawing". However, this notion is all but eradicated when one stands before the vast array of drawings in the Art Gallery of New South Wales' Renaissance to Goya exhibition, curated by Mark McDonald (British Museum) and Peter Raissis (Art Gallery NSW). A period of exceptional cultural brilliance, the Renaissance in Spain saw the emergence of artistic genius and a sensitive reexamination of the lives of the Spanish people. The exhibition displays the superb sacred and secular sketches of the European artists that worked during Spain's 'Golden Age' that spanned some 250 years.
The exhibition begins with Philip II's moving of court and the capital to Madrid in 1561. The new political centre of the monarchy became a city of cultural and artistic vibrancy. Madrid began to attract artists from across Europe, enriching the artistic landscape of the city and sculpting a new identity for the new capital. With this cultural and artistic reformation simmering beneath the steps of the Spanish court, artists such as Diego Velázquez and Alonso Cano redefined the art scene over the course of the 16th and 17th Century.
The first work of the exhibition is Alonso Berreguete's sensitive drawing, titled Assumption of the virgin. The sweeping lines and impulsive brushstrokes at the feet create a sense of movement that envelops the work, almost as if it were a photograph, the figure caught in an intimate instant of prayer. Unlike many of the works that emerged from this period, the drawings and prints showcased in this exhibition study single moments in the lives of the consecrated, as well as courtiers and commoners.
The exhibition, however, is not limited to the men of Madrid's musings of the Madonna, but extends farther to encapsulate the reformation of form and functionality of prints and drawings in Spain. Chronologically curated, as you walk through the gallery you see how the functionality of this marginal art dominated Spain and furthermore the development of its dominance of Europe's artistic landscape. Many of the works exhibited are studies as well as drafts for paintings and other commission works for sculptures and buildings.
This exhibition, unlike others, captures the considerations, cares and contemplations of an entire generation of artists. It summarises the forethoughts that were instrumental to the monumental works of art that we take time to notice nowadays. The fineness lies in its functionality, art intended to go unnoticed. It is subtle and unassuming, modest and understated. And yet, these musings, these drawings, these sketches, these are the foundations for all the artists who followed and all those to come. Goya's darkest sketches, depicting scenes of anguish and torment, are certainly a testament to the form of drawing but also the functionality of art: a tool. Art is an extension of ourselves that fulfills a need to express as well as preserve. This exhibition is not only a reminder of Spain's forgotten and undervalued history of drawing but also a tribute to the beauty of art and the function it serves for humanity.

Even without Tine Baun or Peter Gade featuring on finals day, Denmark had the opportunity to win three of the five events. Jan O Jorgensen delivered upon the hype that he is the future of Danish badminton after Peter Gade's retirement with a two game victory over 2nd seeded Taufik Hidayat, whose drought in 2010 continues. The 21-19, 21-19 scoreline hides Taufik's mid-game collapse in both games, allowing Jorgensen to win 6 consecutive points and led for the remainder of either set.
The Chinese monopoly on the women's single continues, with top seed Wang Yihan took on unseeded Liu Xin in an all-Chinese final. The two game victory for the top seeded Wang Yihan was one of the more one-sided of finals day, with the top seed winning 21-14, 21-12 in 41 minutes with the unseeded Liu Xin never having a lead late on in either game to have a chance to take it to a third game.
The most one-sided final came in the men's doubles, with the top two seeds meeting in the final. It was the top seeded Danish pair of Boe and Mogensen demolishing the second seeded Kido and Setiawan 21-13, 21-12 in just 31 minutes to double Denmark's titles on home turf. The Danish pairs 10-point run in the middle of the second game ended any resistance from the Indonesian 2nd seeds.
The Japanese contingent will be satisfied with it's women's doubles title, with the top seeded Maeda and Suetsuna defeating the 6th seeded Matsuo and Naito also of Japan in two games, winning 21-17, 21-14 in just over a hour in the longest match on finals day on Odense.
Denmark's third title came from the 2009 world champions, Laybourn and Rytter Juhl who defeated the 6th seeded Robertson and Wallwork in the mixed doubles final in three games. After the pairs exchanged games with both winning their respective games 21-12, the higher seeded Danes never gave the English pair an opportunity to lead in the deciding game, with Laybourn and Rytter Juhl taking the third game 21-9.
In spite of a strong presence in the semi finals Japan only succeeded in pulling through with two pairs into the finals, however both pairs are in the womens doubles so the title is assured for Japan. Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna easily defeated their Russian opponents Valeria Sorokina and Nina Vislova 21-11, 21-9 while their compatriots Shizuka Matsuo and Mami Naito benefited from a withdrawal during the third game against yet another Japanese pair, second seeds Mizuki Fujii and Reika Kakiiwa.
The mixed doubles features our only all European final with England's Nathan Robertson and Jenny Wallwork through after a win against Sudket Prapakamol and Saralee Thoungthongkam in three games 21-16, 18-21, 21-16. The English pair now plays Denmark's top pair Thomas Laybourn and Kamilla Rytter Juhl who knocked out Indonesia's Hendra Gunawan and Vita Marissa in two straight 21-19, 21-11.
Both the mens doubles and singles feature Denmark vs Indonesia line ups. First off in the mens doubles Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen will play Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan. Both pairs had relatively straight forward wins, and both had Japanese opponents with the Danish pairing winning 21-11, 21-16 over Yoshiteru Hirobe and Kenta Kazuno, and the Indonesian pair defeated Hiroyuki Endo and Kenichi Hayakawa. Boe and Mogensen defeated Kido and Setiawan in last year's edition of the Denmark Open, and the hometown crowd is no doubt hoping for a repeat.
The other Denmark vs Indonesia line up features young rising star Jan Jorgensen against the tricky veteran Taufik Hidayat. Jorgensen easily disposed of Hu Yun 21-12, 21-17 while Hidayat struggled against China's Du Pengyu and was pushed to three games 21-15, 17-21, 21-17. This is an important match for the Dane who has yet to win a Super Series title, and a win here would certainly give some added confidence after a tough last few months.
Finally the womens singles final will feature an all Chinese line up with top seeded Wang Yihan facing off against unseeded qualifier Liu Xin. Liu ended another surprise semi-finalist's run when she defeated Salakajit Ponsana 21-19, 21-18 while Wang had a decidedly easier time against her Bulgarian opponent Petya Nedelcheva winning 21-8, 21-10.

Denmark Open Super Series 2010 Draws and Results
While still not heavily favoured the Japanese contingent has proven formidable this week in Odense with five pairings left heading into the semi-finals stage. However, in spite of their strong numbers remaining in the doubles, their premier player, Kenichi Tago, fell to the second seed Taufik Hidayat in two close games 21-19, 21-19. Hidayat will now face the unseeded Du Pengyu of China who easily disposed of India's Kashyap Parupalli.
With the withdrawal of Peter Gade from competition the top half of the draw is up for grabs and Jan Jorgensen has continued to show his ability to perform on home soil with a win over last year's finalist Marc Zwiebler in two games 21-16, 21-19. Jorgensen will now play Hu Yun who defeated Poland's Przemyslaw Wacha.
In the womens doubles Japan looks almost assured the title with 3 of the 4 remaining pairs. The only barrier to Japanese success remaining are Russians Valeria Sorokina and Nina Vislova who will be looking to upset top seeds Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna. The Russian pair had to go through Thailand's Kunchala Voravichitchaikul and Duanganong Aroonkesorn while the Japanese disappointed the hometown crowd by defeating Lena Frier Kristiansen and Marie Ropke. The other half of the draw features Japanese shuttlers exclusively.
The top seeded men's doubles pairing of Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen succeeded in continuing their campaign with a victory over Mak Hee Chun and Tan Wee Kiong of Malaysia in two straight 21-16, 21-12. The Danish pair now face Japan's Yoshiteru Hirobe and Kenta Kazuno.
The womens singles features a couple of Cinderella stories with Salakajit Ponsana's previous win over Tine Baun, and now another win over Ai Goto to put her into the semi-finals against Liu Xin. Liu has been another surprise as she has upset Eriko Hirose and Ella Diehl en-route to her semi-final placement.
England has not a particularly strong showing in Odense this week, however Nathan Robertson and Jenny Wallwork succeeded against the Polish opponents Nadiezda Zieba and Robert Mateusiak in three close games 21-14 17-21 22-20. The English pair will now face Saralee Thoungthongkam and Sudket Prapakamol.
For more complete results and draws:
Denmark Open Super Series 2010 Draws and Results
Peter Gade's withdrawal put added pressure onto Tine Baun for success in the singles disciplines this week in Odense. She went into her second round against Salakjit Ponsana as a massive favourite but her opponent pulled out a surprise two game victory to end Denmark's hopes in the women's singles.
There is however, interest in the last 8 of the men's singles. Viktor Axelsen's first foray into the Super Series ended at the second round at the hands of the 4th seeded Jan O Jorgensen in two games and Joachim Persson also lost in Round 2, losing to the 2nd seeded Taufik Hidayat in two games. Hidayat takes on Kenichi Tago in the quarter finals whilst Jan O Jorgensen takes on the 6th seeded Marc Zwiebler in the last 8.
Even without a full compliment of players, China still has 3 entries in the last 8 of the women's singles. Wang Yihan progressed safely in two games whilst Li Xuerui defeated the 6th seeded Juliane Schenk in two tight games to book her last 8 place against Wang Yihan. Qualifier Liu Xin defeated another Chinese qualifier, Zhu Lin in three games to book her place in the quarter final against 8th seeded Ella Diehl. Salakjit Ponsana takes on Ai Goto in the last 8, who also defeated a seed to reach this point, beating Yip Pui Yin of Hong Kong in two games.
Denmark's interest in the men's doubles is done to just 1, the top seeded Boe and Mogensen survived a day of Danish disappoint in the doubles with the most notable defeat being the loss of the 6th seeded Conrad-Petersen and Rasmussen to German qualifiers, Fuchs and Roth in two games. Larsen and Skovgaard lost out to Mak and Tan of Malaysia, who now take on the top seeded Mogensen and Boe in the last 8. The 2nd seeded pair of Kido and Setiawan are also safely into the last 8 with a two game win over English qualifiers Adcock and Ellis.
One Danish pair remain the women's doubles, as Ropke and Kristiansen defeated the 8th seeded German pair of Overzier and Marinello in three games to set up a last 8 match against the top seeded Maeda and Suetsuna of Japan. The 2nd seeded Fujii and Kakiiwa won their all-Japanese matchup to book their place in the last 8 and 3rd seeded Nedelcheva and Russkikh progressed safely into the quarter finals after surviving their first round scare.
All 8 of the seeded pairings in the mixed doubles have progressed to the quarter finals, with only the 2nd seeded Gunawan and Marissa and 5th seeded Fischer and Pedersen being taken to three games in their second round matches. Top seeded Mateusiak and Zieba take on the 6th seeded Robertson and Wallwork tomorrow whilst the 2nd seeded Indonesians Marissa and Gunawan take on the 7th seeded Fuchs and Overzier in tomorrow's quarter finals.
The day begun with optimism that Peter Gade could take his 4th Denmark Open title, only for the top seed to pull out with a back injury that plagued his previous week of training. There are three Danes into the last 16, Joachim Persson produced an excellent two game win over Carl Baxter and the home crowd has it's dream second round encounter as Jan O Jorgensen will take on Viktor Axelsen after both recorded first round wins. The match will take place tomorrow night at 7.10 local time as Axelsen hopes to defeat Jorgensen just as Jorgensen defeated Gade in last years event.
There were wins for the 2nd seed Taufik Hidayat over Danish qualifier Emil Vind as well as 3rd seeded Boonsak Ponsana, who edged out Kazushi Yamada in three games. Last weeks Dutch Open winner Sho Sasaki is through to the second round and faces an all-Japanese match against the 5th seeded Kenichi Tago.
The women's singles has had it's fair share of shocks today, top seeded Wang Yihan lost her opening game against Jeanine Cicognini before progressing in three games. 3rd seeded Pi Hongyan was not as fortunate as she crashed out to Petya Nedelcheva in two games whilst 6th seeded Juliane Schenk lost her opening game to Sayaka Sato before winning the next two to progress into the last 16.
Denmark has the guarantee of at least one pair in the men's doubles quarter final, as Boe and Mogensen take on Bonde and Kristiansen after both pairs come through their opening round matches in two games. Japan are well represented in the draw, just like last week in the Dutch Open. 4th seeded Hashimoto and Hirata as well as 8th seeded Endo and Hayakawa progressed safely into the last 16 and are joined by qualifiers Hirobe and Kazuno after a three game victory.
Four of the last 16 couples in the women's doubles are also Japanese with the host nation only managing three couples into the second round. All eight seeded pairs who had an opening round match safely progressed in two games apart from the 3rd seeded Nedelcheva and Russkikh and 7th seeded Jonathans and Van Dooremalen who needed three games to progress into the second round.
Top seeded Mateusiak and Zieba survived their opening round scare against Setiawan and Russkikh, eventually progressing in three games. Both of Denmark's seeded pairings are also safely into round 2, Fischer and Pedersen coming through a tight two game match whilst Laybourn and Rytter Juhl were taken to three games by the Russian pairing of Nikolaenko and Sorokina, who won the Dutch Open last week.

Ohio State's Deshaun Thomas drives past Jared Berggren in the Buckeyes' 58-49 win over Wisconsin.
- Filed Under
Sunday afternoon's loss to Indiana did two things.
It exposed Ohio State's limitations, and it showed just how far the Buckeyes are from being an elite team.
With the exception of the inexplicable loss at Illinois and a few yawners against Albany, UNC Asheville and Winthrop, effort has never been an issue with Ohio State. In fact, effort is what kept the Buckeyes in road games at Duke, Michigan State and Michigan. ...

2010 records determine waiver order for Edwards
Posted by Will Brinson
Don't laugh, but NFL teams will be lining up for Trent Edwards' services this afternoon, just a few days after the Buffalo Bills decided to release him from their roster . Or, more accurately, they may have already lined up and are shuffling around trying to figure out who might be in front of them for his services.
See, if a player is dumped in the first three weeks of the NFL season, the prior season's records determine the waiver order. If it's after the first three weeks, the current season's records determine the order. Edwards was dumped on Monday, after the third Sunday of the season but not before the entire week was completed.
However, according to the NFL's clarifying statement to Mike Florio at Pro Football Talk , 2010 records will matter in this instance, because Edwards' contract is being awarded on Tuesday (which is today and which is after Week 3, obviously).
A quick glance at the standings reveals a few teams that stink this season, primarily because of quarterback problems: the Panthers, the Jaguars, the 49ers, the Browns and the Lions are all 0-3 and have either a) had a quarterback get injured, b) replaced their starting quarterback for poor performance at some point this season or c) been fooled for the 500th time by Alex Smith playing well in one game.
Oh yes, and the Bills. But it's at least "improbable" that they would release him and then claim him. ("Impossible" seems like a stretch, given the absurdity of releasing him this early in the season without even seeking some sort of trade with a quarterback needy team.)
Also in the mix -- according to Chris Mortensen -- are the Seahawks, Chiefs and Jets, although it seems pretty unlikely that, given their back-of-the-line status, any of those three would have a shot at landing Edwards.
But yeah, Trent Edwards is really popular, which is why it makes absolutely no sense that the Bills just cut him outright.

Don't mess with Gunther Cunningham
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
Apparently to Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, it doesn't matter who you are and what your qualifications are. If he's not happy with the way you're playing, you're headed to the bench.
That includes you, five-time Pro Bowler Julian Peterson. After watching Eagles RB LeSean McCoy burn him and the rest of the Detroit defense for a long touchdown, Cunningham pulled Peterson from the game and replaced him with Ashlee Palmer.
"There's a reason, and he understood the reason," Cunningham told the Detroit Free Press. "We expect certain things, and he's had a good week of practice."
More importantly than the temporary benching, though, was the message the move sent to the rest of the team.
"If he'll bench a five-time Pro Bowler, then he'll definitely bench anybody else," CB Jonathan Wade said. "We've got to be accountable, and we've got to be doing our job. It's time to get it done. It's time for things to change."
But that wasn't necessarily the worst-performing portion of Detroit's defense that week.
Defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch, at times, was quadruple-teamed during the game, but the rest of the Lions couldn't take advantage.
That's four guys on one guy. Which theoretically means three Lions weren't being blocked at the time. So you can excuse Cunningham's anger. Because that's pretty ridiculous.
"I'm not going to tolerate four guys blocking one, and that was made loud and clear this week," Cunningham said. "I think we got some results on the practice field. Now it's going to depend on how we play in the game."

Charles Rogers close to foreclosure
Posted by Josh Katzowitz
It has not been a good past few months for former Lions WR Charles Rogers.
In April, he was forced to pay back the Detroit organization $6.1 million of his $9.1 million signing bonus because of a substance abuse suspension in 2005. Now, he owes more than a million dollars on his mansion, and if he doesn't pay it off, he could be homeless by the end of October, the Detroit News reports today.
The 5,100 square foot home was built in 2001, and he bought it for $1.3 million in 2004 (he had a mortgage of $1.04 million) in a ritzy part of town.
It's been a stunning downfall for Rogers since Detroit took him with the No. 2 pick in the 2003 NFL Draft. He was hampered by injuries, and in his three NFL seasons, he played a combined 15 games, making 36 catches and scoring four touchdowns. The Lions released him in training camp in 2006, and he hasn't been in the league since.

Who to blame for V-Jax no trade: Smith or Vikes?
Posted by Andy Benoit
We'll take one more look at the Vincent Jackson trade saga and then move on -- hopefully for good.
There are two ways to look at why Jackson did not get traded Wednesday: A.J. Smith took his hardball act too far, or the Minnesota Vikings were too cautious. Your opinion depends on your view of the Vikings.
First, let's make sure we're clear on what happened. John Clayton of ESPN.com has an excellent piece covering what went down with all the teams interested in trading for Jackson before Wednesday's deadline. Five teams have been in the V-Jax running: Washington, Detroit, St. Louis, Seattle and Minnesota.
According to Clayton's sources, Braylon Edwards' DWI arrest prompted the owners of the Seahawks and Rams to pull out. (Jackson is currently serving an NFL-mandated three-game suspension for multiple DUI's; the PR hit for acquiring him this week would have been too significant). From the sound of things, the Lions and Redskins pulled out early on – either when A.J. Smith was demanding a first- and third-round pick for Jackson, or when he lowered that demand to two second-round picks (which is what the Broncos got for Brandon Marshall).
After the season started, the Vikings started making calls about Jackson. This week, they were the only team seriously vying for the wideout's services. By then Smith was willing to trade Jackson for a second- and fourth-round pick, as long as the Vikings would sign Jackson to a one-year, $6 million contract.
But the Vikings didn't want to give up the picks. And that's where the debate begins.
It's amazing how much value teams place in draft picks. In many ways, it shows arrogance. Do the Vikings really think they're gong to find a player as good as Jackson in the second or fourth round? Granted, they found Sidney Rice in the second round a few years ago. But they also found safety Tyrell Johnson and offensive lineman Ryan Cook in the second round. Neither is a starter. Jackson has already proven to be a star.
Besides, word is, the Vikings were willing to trade a second-rounder and a compensatory pick. That means they wouldn't budge on the fourth-rounder. Since when is a fourth-rounder a deal-breaker when talking about a Pro Bowl caliber receiver?
Maybe, deep down, Minnesota did not want to pay $6 million for 10 games of Jackson's services. That would be make sense…if they weren't paying $20 million for Brett Favre's services. They've put all their chips in the 2010 basket. Why abandon that method now?
In all likelihood, the Vikings must not have thought they could (or would) sign Jackson to a long-term contract after this season. If that's the case, then a second- and fourth-round draft pick could be too much to surrender. But again, they were willing to part with the second-rounder…
By passing on Jackson, the Vikings are making a few risky assumptions, such as:
a.) Sidney Rice being a long-term No. 1 (he was great last season, but he's shown questionable work ethic at times, and his hip injury raised a lot of eyebrows)
b.) Bernard Berrian being a solid starter (safe bet, though Berrian has certain flaws that defenses can exploit at times)
c.) Percy Harvin being a long-term playmaker (you may have heard he has some migraine issues).
d.) Greg Camarillo being a viable possession receiver (he is, but why in the world has the newly-acquired ex-Dolphin not played more thus far?).
Of course, maybe we should be criticizing Smith more than the Vikings. If Jackson walks away as a free agent in 2011, as many expect, the Charges would receive a compensatory third-round pick in 2012. Maybe Smith should have lowered his asking price to a simple second-rounder for 2011.

Quarterback news: Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland
Posted by Andy Benoit
With Dennis Dixon out at least six weeks after knee surgery, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced that Charlie Batch will get the ball against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Though Tomlin didn't say so specifically, you can bet Batch will mostly be giving said ball to Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore.
Batch attempted only 11 passes in two-plus quarters of action against the Titans. Counting the sacks he took, Batch dropped back to throw 13 times. The Bucs are allowing 111 yards rushing per game this season, but last season they allowed an NFL-worst 158. Thus, expect Pittsburgh to challenge them on the ground.
Tomlin could have gone with Byron Leftwich. The veteran quarterback was re-signed earlier this week and, on Wednesday, participated in his first full practice since tearing his MCL in the preseason finale.
In other quarterback news, Batch's former team, the Lions, will once again be without Matthew Stafford. The second-year darling is still recovering from a right shoulder injury. Jim Schwartz has been coy about Stafford's status, but Sean Leahy of USA Today reports that Shaun Hill will get the start against the Vikings.
Finally, in Cleveland, Jake Delhomme once again missed practice because of the ankle injury suffered in Week 1. If Delhomme is unable to throw interceptions for the Browns again this week, Seneca Wallace will get the start. It almost doesn't matter either way, as this Cleveland offense is facing the white-hot Baltimore defense.

Welcome to Writing West Midlands
We support creative writers and creative writing in the West Midlands region.
Developing Writers
Writers rarely land fully formed. They tend to need support, advice, editing, training, or just simple encouragement. Writing West Midlands provides all of this and more throughout the year and across the region, whether it be through workshops, Toolkit events, residencies and networking or creative development programmes like Room 204. We work with aspiring, emerging and established writers.
Young Writers
Whether or not they pursue it in later life, writing can be a brilliant way for young people to navigate the world around them and develop confidence. Through in-depth work with pupils and teachers, the Write On! programme helps to establish creative writing at the heart of the curriculum, while beyond the school gates our Young Writers' Groups and online magazine give aspiring writers the opportunity to road-test and showcase their work.
Festivals and Events
The writing process may be a solitary one, but every now and then literature needs to get out and socialise. Festivals are a forum for new voices, a place to discuss ideas, and a vital meeting place which can build momentum for the sector as a whole. As well as producing the annual Birmingham Literature Festival, bringing a host of respected and emerging talent to the city every autumn, we also collaborate with a rich calendar of other events across the region. Please visit our events page, by clicking here to see upcoming events.

RuneScape: How to Get Prayer Up Fast
Get prayer and combat up fast.
First of all you should start by doing the restless ghoust quest. You need to be unafraid of a level 13 skeleton. After you complete that, you should go to the wilderness, and fight level 28 hill giants. Hill giants are easy to kill and drop big bones, and other valuables. They can be found south-east of clan wars. You could also go up from varrok and when you come to the chaos alter, take the right passage way. You will travel a large path of lava. once you come to a house with ghousts, just to the right of there, the hill giant stands. After you kill the first one there is a second one just a little north of there. I hope I helped today. Please say you liked this. I would most appreatiate that. Good bye.
this is impractical. Killing monsters for their bones in not "fast". Its slow as hell. If you want to get it up fast join members and then use a gilded altar, it give 350% of the experience of each bone.
What if you are not a member? What if you can't afford it? This also helps your combat which is alot better than just getting prayer. You get them both high. So why don't u just shut up, and injoy my tequnique.
PS if you a freaken member Lanthus, why are you even searching this?
I agree with Lanthus, it does not support the main idea for others. I see where you are coming from. Killing monsters can be an efficient way to get free bones, but it makes for a very slow 99. You could possibly include multiple levels in which a different monster would be more suitable. I know non members don't have much of a variety, but you could include different techniques along with this to clarify. Or different styles as for those who wish to buy or trade. Maybe a member friend would have been working on trolls and since they drop bones already, they wouldn't mind saving them and selling to them for cheaper… Many ideas can come into this…
Let's say you kill 12 hill giants per minute, and bury the bones. This is a fairly good speed to be killing them. (5 seconds a kill)
This is 15×12 exp per minute, or 10.8k exp an hour. Level 99 is 13034431 experience. This would take approximately 1,207 hours of pure combat to get level 99 prayer using this method, or about 100 days. This would translate to over 3 months of hill giants with no sleep, no eating, no bathroom, no work, no school. Of course, if you figure that in, it could take closer to a year of this being all your RuneScape day.
Saving up for 99 prayer using dragon bones and a gilded alter, along with training separately, would be much more effective.
PS. You good at math….. And i bet your fat too
I didn't do that in my head, and no, I'm not fat.
it is a really good way to get prayer up and make decent money too
ty alexmatt2
lol this is a terrible guide. Chaos altar would be much better. That, and you should also at least mention powerleveling. Buying bones then burying. It's much faster. Chaos altar has over 10 bone respawns and its alot better than hill giants.
And stop being so angry. All you said in the guide is to kill hill giants. I could have written it in less than 5 minutes.
ok you could go back and forth. With hill giants you get money, prayer exp, and combat exp. Its an ok guide, not terrible.
(everyone's a cricit)
thats too risky if u have a bronze key theres a little house nxt to the river in barbarian village that has more hill giants in there thn the wildy do
Sam your and idiot and should kill yourself i agree with Lanthus it says "Fast" not the original way to get bones and work it out with simple math… and Kyla I like how you put it into nicer words…. P.S. i Hate when people put P.S. so for the later reference that people will give you, don't be such a HAT
how the hell is this fast its slower then a snail!
That guide needs alot of work ALOT of work.
uh…. i think supporter sam, that if you want to have people give good comments, that you should not be ordering people to shut up, when YOU asked for there opinions.
uh…. i think supporter sam, that if you want to have people give good comments, that you should not be ordering people to shut up, when you asked for there opinions.

Carolyn Hax, author of 'Tell Me About It -- Lying, Sulking, Getting Fat and 56 Other Things Not to Do While Looking for Love,' writes her advice column for The Washington Post.

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn: I have a long-distance boyfriend whom I adore and plan on spending my life with (assuming things stay on track).
I've developed minor feelings for a friend of ours whom I spend a lot of time with. I have zero plans of acting on these feelings, I just have noticed that I react to him more intensely than I do to most people. The "crush" is on the level of wanting to hang out a lot, and sometimes wondering what it would be like to kiss him. We hang out alone and in groups that often include his sort-of girlfriend. When my boyfriend is in town, the three of us ...

We need to get her a baby shower present. And no, a blow up sex doll with her dead boyfriends picture stuck to it, is not appropriate.
Attn every girl I've slept with in the past 26 years of my life. One of you cunts gave me herpes. This is the 4th of 5 group MMS. That's right. It's in the 50s. There are two girls I don't have #s for. One was on a cruise and the other was a prostitute in Amsterdam. So which of you has herpes?
He gave up on mugging us when Dave wouldn't stop laughing. He was wiggling his finger at the knife and making baby noises and giggling. The guy just walked away.
CONFIRMATION: i wiki searched it and Justin Bieber is 15 not 13. so i dont feel like as much of a pedofile now....
im so glad i don't have to work tomorrow. I'm spendin all night on the new call of duty.
Look man i'm staying in playing videogames and growing a beard. Its not like i'm trying to get a girlfriend.
bitch asked me if i cared if she kept her snuggie on while we had sex
Annabeth just got on the bar and slurred something about how she was worried that when she started dating you your penis wouldnt fit. You are one lucky bastard my friend.
So I managed to get the bitch who has been copying off me all semester in History to copy the names of Pokemon towns off my test.
Just got blown in a rental car. I need to get rear ended more often
Don't let her tell you any different. She licked the balls of my hamster for that $100. It was a group bet. She won.
I was taking a piss and started puking. I pissed myself and made a mess in the bathroom. Passed out, then got up and went back out from 11pm to 5am.
I changed 4 diapers and slept horribly in our hot apt. Now, I'm at my inlaws house watching the Rangers get pummeled. Oh how our lives differ.
your drunk exhusband is tryin to get with my drunk exgirlfriend. i think its funny. if you still talk to him dont say anything.
I think I should receive an honorary Heisman... I mean, I did sleep with two of the finalists
Just got done fucking the squirter chick. She came when we were in a 69. I now know what it's like to be water boarded.
Carry on my wayward bro, there'll be beer when you get low. lay your neon tank to rest, dont you rage no more.
You remember the guy that busted in waving a tazer at everyone yelling "get the fuck outta my crib"?
We ended up crawling out from our hiding spot and playing pool with him once he calmed down. His name is Marcus. I got his email.
There are fucking limits. Jerking another guy off in the bar toes the line.
Accidently said "your going to hurt the baby" when he got forceful with his thrusts. I guess I forgot to mention to him that we are pregnant.
Well, I wanted to be you for Halloween but I couldn't fit seven dicks in my mouth.
There's a really old guy here with a really young girl. I'm guessing he has to make choo choo train noises to get his dick in her mouth.
I make your heart skip a beat like that pivotal moment when you open a public toilet lid
Someone woke me up and gave me a sprite and some pills. I put them in my belly button. Trust no one.
When i say that im working late and also have a paper to write before 9am tomorrow all i want u to respond is saying that ur gunna come over and sexually distract me from my responsibilities. Not a fucking frowny face.
So i wrote 'don't sex me' on my stomach, so that if we got to a point where my shirt is off - he would know how i really feel, not just the alcohol talking
Well, all the water washed it off, so we ended up fucking since i didn't have my reminder...
If it wasnt for my iphone and loopt, I would still be wandering the streets in a drunken stooper. Thanks Steve Jobs.
He screamed for everyone to hide, unplugged the music, then talked to the cop. Last I saw he was high fiving him...
he actually said the words "do you want to pet the lizard?" with a straight face as he unzipped his pants
Classy? Dude, she fucked 3 guys as part of a scavenger hunt
But i did once see a show where a women was homeless and installed a stove in a school bus so she and her baby could live there since all the seats were taken out. As far as being homeless goes it didn't look half bad...So this is me promising to you that if i ever am living in an abandoned school bus...i will at least pimp it out with a stove so you can come over for dinner sometimes
That chode just called off the engagement. I just dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. And I've forgotten to take my birth control for the past two weeks. He's fucked!
My neighbor just watched me eat a granola bar without pants, this is a whole new level of unemployed
I want to apologize in advance in the event I put my boobs in your face
hey, when you wake up, search yourself on youtube
my sister already found it, were watching it right now. i give it 2 thumbs up.
I was about to go down on her and her dong flopped out and hit me in the chin. This may have a Nam like post-traumatic-stress-disorder effect on me.
she definitely has that "I'll bang you, but then I'll tell your girlfriend" look to her.
So I was talking to her on the phone last night and had to mute it so I could take a crap.
You are an awful beat friend I am goin to die in a car accident and then my corpse is going to be used by criminals ala weekend at bernies to rob a bank then my corpse will go to jail Thanks john Thanks for nuthin
hey, what are you doing? my roommates are gone for the night... you should come over ;)
No, but its not like diarrhea. i swear its like my intestines had a secret bank account and i just punched in the right pin.
They invented the twister shot game. You put a shot on each circle, take it when you land on it, and if you fall, they funnel the mat and make you drink it. New best friends.
duuuude the clock in this car says its 85 past 19.
While drunk it seemed like a good idea to barricade my roommate in his room with everything that we could move in our apartment, waking up to him screaming from it collapsing on top of him was just an added bonus.
I'm pretty sure that he just gave me the ginger disease
shes the kind of girl that would cock block endangered pandas
she's like bobby knight all she does is scream and point
She got mad when I told her I'd bone her mom. She got MORE mad when her mom heard, and was flattered by it. Proud to say I attract MILFS.
uhh when the x-ray tec was moving your head you licked his hand and meowed.. i think he knew you weren't sober
hot doctor. gonna get him to touch my tits. 'think i felt a lump' excuse in 3-2-1...
When I unzipped my pants I said "Release the Cracken"... she dug it so we're getting married soon.

Glossop residents are being urged to be vigilant after an elderly woman was targeted by scammers pretending to be from the council.
The woman received a call on Tuesday 25th June from a woman claiming to be from the Council Tax Housing Assessment Department. The caller said that the elderly lady had been overpaying on council tax and was due a rebate. She then said she would visit the next day with the refund.
At 9:40am the following day, a female arrived at the house claiming to be from the "re-banding unit" of another organisation, not the council. She then told the resident that she could reduce her council tax payments each month if she was paid an upfront administrative fee.
Thankfully, the resident had already contacted the council who had advised her it was clearly a scam.
The woman who turned up at the house was described as: "white, approx. 5ft 7" to 6′ tall, aged in her late 20's or early 30's, with burgundy dyed hair, and very busty. She had a photo ID type card on a ribbon around her neck but refused to let the occupant check it closely."
As a result, police are asking for locals to be aware of the potential for such calls and also would like people to make their neighbours aware.
Anyone with information on this incident, or who has concerns about cold calls, is asked to call Derbyshire Police on 101.

NORTH TRURO – A quirky and at times funny lecture on American painter Edward Hopper and his wife Josephine, who summered in Truro for nearly 40 years, drew a hundred people Wednesday to the Highland House Museum.
Gail Levin, who has studied the pair for 37 years and written several books about Edward Hopper, including a biography, spoke as part of the Truro Historical Society's summer program on the couple's legacy in Truro. Levin is an art history professor at the City University of New York.
"His popularity is so soaring," Levin said, reminding the crowd to beware of forgeries on the internet and to treat much of what is written about Edward Hopper with skepticism.
Hopper, who died in 1967, painted about 75 watercolors and 43 oils of local scenes in the four easternmost towns on Cape Cod, Historical Society board President Henry Lum said. The house the couple built on Stephens Way in 1934 has been part of a local controversy since 2008, because neighbors believe a new 8,333 square foot house built next door mars the barren hills that inspired Hopper's work.
Hopper at first preferred Gloucester, according to Levin, and talked his soon-to-be-wife into spending their early summers there with a proposal of marriage. But Josephine Hopper preferred Provincetown, and by 1930 they came to Truro for the first time. Josephine Hopper was an artist too, although she was eventually overshadowed by her husband's work, Levin said.
The two were opposites, one very tall and one very short, according to Levin. "He didn't approve of women artists and he didn't approve of women drivers," Levin said. He was frugal, and liked the idea of having a free female model, his wife.
Josephine Hopper, on the other hand, didn't like to cook, was a good actress in addition to painting, and liked cats, possibly more than her husband, Levin suggested. Josephine Hopper kept all the detailed notes about her husband's paintings. It was her suggestion that led to Edward Hopper first selling a watercolor to the Brooklyn Museum in New York, Levin said. She, too, was in charge of bequeathing the bulk of her husband's artwork to the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
Their first rental in South Truro, before they built a house, was called "Birdcage Cottage" because it let the rain and wind in so much, Levin said. At the time, town had 500 year-round residents, she said.
"I think he was most at home here on Cape Cod," Levin said.
