Carlow strongman Keith Maher goes international
Published 04/12/2012 | 11:41
IT'S BEEN said 'if a man had a heart of gold, being that he is a man with a heart of a lion'.
If you are lucky enough to live in Carlow and lucky enough to train In Escape Gym then you would have the honour of training with this great man. He is Keith Maher.
Born and bred in Tullamore, Keith returned home from England to settle in Carlow and in 2005 marry the love of his life, Olivia. They now have two kids, Gavin and Kia.
When asked why did he become a strongman, Keith's reply was simple. He'd seen his hero James Fennelly on television and wanted to follow in his footsteps. So he tracked down James and they became training partners. That was a mere two years ago.
Since then Keith has rose up through the ranks of Irish strongmen at such a rate as to attract international attention.
His career to date; First event, May 2011 Republics qualifier 5th overall. Next event Republics finals 3rd overall.
Next came The 105's in Wexford where he came second overall. This year we had the qualifier for the Republics where Keith took his first victory and qualification for Britain's Strongest Man. The next big event was the All Irelands, a 32 county battle under the historic walls of Derry city. Keith prevailed here too coming a fine second to his hero and training partner James Fennelly.
This battle will be shown on Sky Challenge 125 on Monday night at 10pm. Don't miss it.
When asked what's next Keith said he'd been invited to compete in the second biggest strongman event in the world, the 'Arnold Classic' in which takes place in Ohio from the 27 of February to the 4th of March. And then the Europe's Strongest Man later in the year.
When asked who he's like to thank he replied "I hold my achievements to a few people, Jason Dooley of Escape Gym who supported my efforts right from my decision to start in this sport. My training partners, Lee Fagan and Gavin Condron, who pushes me to the limits every session.
'But most importantly, my wife, Olivia who has put up with all the highs and all the lows this sport brings. For cooking for me four times a day, listening to my groans and moans when I was injured but most of all for being at every competition over the last two years, rain or shine.'

Scoop on the Power? Thee should toll for Bell
NO ONE at Appalachian Power Park cared on Thursday that the West Virginia Power entered its home opening day at 1-6.
"Really?" one fan said walking into the park. "They're 1-6?"
On this day, we pretended the Power was unbeaten. Or just starting. It didn't matter. It was Opening Day here. Capital O. Capital D. All was OK.
The bags were out. The mitt was popped. The bats cracked.
"We're excited," said Andy Milovich, executive vice-president of the club. "The eighth season [of the APP] is here. The park looks great. The community response, from a sponsorship and ticket sales standpoint, has been fantastic. And the weather, at least to this standpoint, is cooperating much better than it did all last year."
You come to this space, though, for the scoop. So let's get to it.
The ticket this season, at least early in the season, can be summed up thusly: Josh Bell, Josh Bell, Josh Bell, Josh Bell.
"Josh Bell is obviously the guy everyone wants to watch," Milovich said. "He's as exciting as you can get. He's a guy everyone projected as a top-15 pick before he told everyone he was going to college and not to draft him."
Then the Pirates drafted him - and backed up the Brink's truck.
Forget peanuts. Get yer Josh Bell while he's hot. Or, at least, in town.
Partly because of him, the Pirate organization got its, well, bell rung by Bud Selig in the owners' meetings - for exceeding bonus "recommendations." The Buccos gave $8 million to No. 1 pick Gerrit Cole and $5 million to second-round pick Bell. Since Neal Huntington took over the Pirates, the team has spent $47.6 million in the draft, including a major league record $17 million last year. (Apparently he wishes to end the franchise's North American record of consecutive losing seasons. It is at 19.)
Bell got off to a good start in his temporary home on Thursday with a single to right in his first at-bat and an RBI double in the ninth of the Power's 5-1 win.
Others to watch? Here's a short list, aside from Bell:
"I think we'll have a lot more offense and pop than we had last year," Milovich said. "Our early season reflects that. We have a very talented but very young pitching staff. You're probably going to see some things that are really lights-out, and then days when the pitchers really struggle to find the zone."
Through the first seven games, Power pitchers walked more than New York dog owners.
But, hey, the team was on the road. The season is young. It's just been odd the Pirates haven't kicked butt at the minor league level. With all those high draft picks?
"The first couple of years we were with them, they were thin at the major and minor league levels when Neal Huntington took over," Milovich said. "They spent a lot of money to get draft picks signed. Hopefully, they signed the right guys.
"But everyone they signed got pushed at a faster speed than normal. They needed them in the big league and at the double- and triple-A levels. That left us really young and really thin from a prospect standpoint. I think now we have prospects, but they are 19 and 20 years old in a league that historically has a lot of 20- and 22-year-old guys."
The Power is in the second year of a four-year contract with the Pirates. It's a great fit, with Pittsburgh four hours away. It's a great fit since Charleston's minor league heyday was with the organization. The revamped old Charlies logo couldn't be more cool.
Off the field, Milovich said about 1,600 season tickets have been sold. A new SuddenLink Legends Club has been added. ("It will be an indoor banquet facility that overlooks the field," Milovich said. "It handles groups of 50 and private functions on game days or non-game days.") The Quaker Steak & Lube menu is now being served in the Power Alley Grill.
For now, though, the buzz is all about No. 19. And if you want to check him out, you'd better Bell-y up - while he's here.

Two women are in the hospital after police said they were shot in their homes.
There is no reason to believe that the crimes are related, but they happened just a few miles apart. Police do not have any suspects in either shooting.
Jacqueline Newkirk was shot Friday morning on West 1st Street in the Paxon part of the Westside. Kharlota Hunter was shot Sunday morning on Cartier Circle in Northwest Jacksonville.
Newkirk told police that two men wearing all black came in and attacked her and then shot her. Sunday, someone opened fire on Hunter's home while she was inside. Both women are recovering Monday at the hospital.
Raymond Newkirk doesn't know why anyone would attack his 57-year-old mother in her Westside home.
"She didn't have any enemies," Raymond Newkirk said. "She's fair. She's breathing, but she is non-responsive right now.
"I'm hoping she pulls through. Every day that goes by I am thankful that she is still breathing."
Jacqueline Newkirk's family said while she was in bed, two men wearing all black beat her, shot her and robbed her after breaking in early Friday morning.
Sunday, six miles away, Hunter, 43, was shot after police said someone sent dozens of rounds into her home from the outside. Hunter was rushed to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds. She's now in fair condition. The shooter or shooters, neighbors said, killed her dog out front.
There were at least 50 apparent bullet holes on Hunter's home. They can be seen in the walls and a glass window (pictured above) and on a dog crate. Even the gas grill and front door had bullet holes. Some of the holes are quite large (pictured).
News4Jax crime analyst Gil Smith said solving these types of crimes isn't easy, so detectives need the public's help.
"What can be very helpful is having a very good neighborhood watch program," Smith said. "That way you have eyes and ears in the neighborhood looking out, trying to find things that aren't quite right in the neighborhood, and they're actually searching for suspicious behavior. Then they are able to document that."
According to the police reports, no eyewitnesses have come forward in either shooting. People said they heard gunshots, but no one said they saw anything.
Police urge anyone with information about either of the crimes to either call Jacksonville Sheriff's Office detectives at 630-0500 or to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.

FoxSports-Bowlsby New Commissioner ( FSU / Clemson are mentioned as targets) 5/5
Big 12 introduces new commissioner Bowlsby
May 4, 2012
Let's start with Friday morning, when Bowlsby, the newest commissioner of the Big 12 conference, was asked about the Longhorns and — more specifically — their reputation for being, um, less than a team player.
"Well, I guess I would just suggest that you do a little homework on me," Bowlsby replied in a firm tone. "I haven't been good at being a puppet over the years."
What he has been is awfully good at politicking. Bowlsby, the former athletic director at Stanford, Iowa and Northern Iowa, is the consummate glad-hander. He's also a good listener, a master consensus-builder. When it comes to herding cats, Bob's your man.
"Bob has the ingredients to bring people together," offered Wayne Duke, the former commissioner of the Big Ten and Big Eight who's known Bowlsby for almost three decades. "I know Tom Jernstedt, who ran (the men's basketball tournament) for many years as an NCAA executive. And he told me Bob's contributions and his ability to bring people together as a chairman (of the men's basketball selection committee) was one of the real factors in the tournament's continued success."
If you're a fan of the Big 12 — and bless you for hanging in there over the past 30 months or so — Friday was a good day. A very good day, now that you mention it. Bowlsby is one of the most respected administrators in all of college sports, one of the circuit's biggest behind-the-scenes power brokers. The Waterloo, Iowa, native has more connections than Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. When he talks, people listen.
In addition to setting the bar for his work as chair of the NCAA selection committee, Bowlsby's also a member of the United States Olympic committee's board of directors. He helped get the Big Ten Network and Pac-12 Networks off the drawing board and onto their respective runways.
Presidents trust him. Television executives like him. Bowlsby doesn't have the pizazz of the Pac-12's Larry Scott or the chutzpah of the Big Ten's Jim Delany, but he can do the handshake dance as well as both of them.
"He just has a good demeanor, and he still keeps his cool under pressure and just does a good job," noted Dick Schultz, the former executive director at the NCAA and the United States Olympic Committee. "He's also a creative guy, and I think with the way these conferences are moving around, it's going to take somebody that's creative in order to do that job."
Creative and patient. Since 2010 — longer, really — the Big 12 has come off like the ultimate dysfunctional family, a bad reality show. Texas allegedly did what it wanted, when it wanted, and in the process managed to drive Nebraska, Colorado, Texas A&M and Missouri away from the flock. From afar, Bowlsby had seen enough episodes of The Real Housewives of Irving (Texas) to be wary when a headhunting pal he knew contacted him on behalf of the league.
"It was hard during the middle of that process to not think, at least in the back of my mind, that it was like rats leaving a sinking ship," Bowlsby said. "But cooler heads prevailed."
That ship is sailing more smoothly again, by all accounts. The league has a six-year grant of rights designed to keep media revenue, and schools, in the fold and on the same page; word on the street is that an extension is probably coming soon. The Big 12 has a $1.2-billion agreement with Fox and is believed to be close to working out a $1.3-billion deal with ESPN.
The addition of Texas Christian and West Virginia brings more beef to the conference's football cache — the tide that lifts all boats these days. With Kansas and K-State on league's the west border and the Mountaineers on the east, it's still a major player in men's basketball.
"I think the public perception is significantly less positive than the private reality," Bowlsby said. "I think we need to go about the process of making sure we shout it from the rooftops — that this a group of 10 schools that are going to do big things, support one another and move forward together."
While we're on the subject of moving forward, one of the hot potatoes that's bound to land on Bowlsby's desk when he reports for duty June 15 is expansion. There've been whispers that the Big 12 wouldn't mind pairing another eastern school with West Virginia. Depending on whom you talk to, the targets range from Louisville and Notre Dame to Clemson and Florida State. The major-college landscape has taken on the law of the jungle, where the only rule seems to be: Kill or be killed.
"There isn't anything magic about getting to 11 or getting to 12 to get to a playoff," Bowlsby said. "I don't think simply the attainment of a number makes any sense for us. We have to add institutions, if we ever do, that are going to specifically fortify (us) and make the sum of the parts exceed the whole."
As for Texas, well …
"It's a big challenge," Schultz said. "I don't know everything they gave Texas to stay, but it seems to me like Texas is probably going to have to be willing to give up some things right now if they're going to be able to attract some other schools."
Yeah. Good luck with that.
"I had a vision of this conference as being unstable," Bowlsby countered. "What I found was a group of CEOs committed to one another, and it very quickly put my mind at ease."
Bowlsby, a former college wrestler and avowed New York Yankees fan, isn't the type who likes to throw his weight behind losing ventures. The Cardinal won 10 NCAA championships during his tenure in Palo Alto. While he was lambasted in some Hawkeye circles for not luring Iowa alum Bob Stoops back to his alma mater, the football hires of Kirk Ferentz in Iowa City and Jim Harbaugh at Stanford both turned into gold.
He's not afraid of bold shake-ups, either. Bowlsby eased out Tom Davis as men's basketball coach at Iowa in favor of up-and-coming Steve Alford, a shift that seemed like a great idea at the time, only to blow up in his face. A decade earlier, he brought Eldon Miller to tiny Northern Iowa, who subsequently led the Panthers to their first NCAA men's basketball tourney appearance in 1990.
As a desk jockey, Bowlsby had few peers. He got Kinnick Stadium renovated, shepherded UNI into the Missouri Valley conference, and booked the Rolling Stones to play in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
Which brings us back to the part about the rain.
Before he got the head job, Bowlsby was UNI's assistant director of athletics for facilities — which meant he coordinated events at the on-campus UNI-Dome, a Teflon-and-fiberglass bubble just a few miles north of Highway 20. The Stones' promoters agreed to turn up for a sold-out concert in November 1981.
The ground was packed with snow — winter had come early, as it usually does in Cedar Falls — and so was the roof of the dome. The heat from all the bodies crammed inside, some 24,000, was so great that water started to actually condense during the show. Before long, it was actually seen dripping from the ceiling.
"I didn't know it rained indoors," Mick Jagger remarked to the crowd.
Hey, in Bowlsby's World, anything's possible. But getting the Longhorns to play nicely with the rest of the kids in the sandbox might be his neatest trick yet.

That's all I can say. It's a bit late for me to give an in-depth review, and I don't feel like nitpicking, so I will leave it at that for tonight
Posted 17 July 2003 - 08:11 AM
Brilliant remix of 'Bombing Mission.' They don't come much better than this. You can just feel the emotion dripping off this one. It builds up so well.
Just to add, that ending was so fitting.

But I mean, the quality is ungodly regardless. I'm shocked this wasn't just taken from some soundtrack. hehehe
Posted 17 July 2003 - 03:22 PM
This guy has done some of the most amazing orchestral work I have ever heard. I've been following his stuff for a few years now, and I have yet to be disappointed. His track "A Falcon, a Whale and an Unknown Land" is one of my favorite orchestral pieces of all time.
But enough about that. What of this new arrangement?
I love this piece. There is so much power in it, but no single part ever becomes overpowering. The horns are used quite well and build the tension and excitement while the strings help hold it up.
The piece builds wonderfully, becoming more intense, and leading up to a wonderful break. Then after the break, the sudden silence fills up very slowly and peacefully, but the final twenty seconds are a bit eerie, giving little satisfaction and bringing up the feeling that all is not quite well.
So, Jeremy. How's that reworking of your Locke piece coming?
But that's cool.

I am gonna loop this song while playing Warcraft III Frozen THrone.
Posted 17 July 2003 - 09:42 PM
Posted 17 July 2003 - 10:25 PM
However, at about 1:35, from then on, what I really hear is a very high quality MIDI-Rip with minor additions. I'm not saying the arrangement is without skill, just without anything amazing to signify a mastery of arrangement. I'm sure Mr. Robson knows exactly what he is doing, but with these quality samples, I think it's imperative to reinterpret and reorchestrate to play upon the original and come up with something half-original. But that's just my take on it. If you're looking for a near-verbatim, high-quality version of the originals at hand here, this is great for you.
But I sure wish that people with gigas and super high quality samples would not depend on them so much to MAKE the song. Rather than use them as a crutch, they should be something to enhance a great arrangement. Again, I mean the artist no disrespect, but this could have been a true masterpiece with a bit more creative input and rearrangement. But if that's not what the intent of the song was, then so be it.
Posted 17 July 2003 - 10:55 PM
And for the guy who's playing this while listening to Frozen Throne... Good choice. I used to make playlists of stuff like this while I was beta testing it. =D

Ok, seriously now....
I had not wanted to post a review, as the few times I've been asked my comments on this song, half of those people came back with comments of "You're just jealous!" or "What, don't want someone else to write orchestral remixes?" This is my opinion of the mix in particular, and not toward the person -- I can't even remember his/her name while I'm typing this.
The beginning up to the swell of the orchestra is nicely executed, even if it comes out of nowhere and serves almost no purpose in that particular section. Then once the brass 'section' comes in it becomes sloppy. Nice and chaotic, but still sloppy. The marcato of the SAM Horns delays the attacks and makes them sound late, not to mention the horns are *SO* far back into the mix that they sound like they're into a completely different room. If you're using the "far" version of the horns then I wouldn't add any reverb as it sits well in almost any mix that has a decent amount. I know that a little 'lateness' is acceptable on the brass parts, but the horns just sound so late the by the time the notes are heard it's too late -- even the percussion is more in sync than the horns.
The dissonance around 4:15 is very nice and sounds great. But from here on out it just... dies literally. That may have been the point but once the quiet section begins it just sounds out of place after the "Bombing Mission" part. Is it bad? Not at all, but it just doesn't fit to me.
The spatial field seems to move on a few things -- the bones and the violins. When the violins play the staggered sustain they're on the left but when the runs begin in "BM" they're on the right/middle. THe bones also seems to drift from center, right, and back to center. Maybe it's just my ears....
I used to be schizophrenic, but we're all right now.

Lemon-Rosemary Roast Chicken with Potatoes
Reviewer Barb offers a side-dish suggestion for this recipe. "The chicken was moist and flavorful. I served this to a group of women who really enjoyed it. I served it with the green bean with crushed walnuts dish from Cooking Light. The chickens looked great when I took them out of the oven, and the aroma was outstanding!"

Gone away and back to stay. While out venturing into both new and familiar territory, a number of favorite places were ticked off and deservingly found its way to TBW's posts.
A top favorite is Farmers Market on 3rd and Fairfax in L.A. For those who are regulars of L.A. but are unfamiliar with the place, it is located beside The Grove. This specific direction will surely elicit a "ahh, yes, beside The Grove" response.
Farmers Market may not be as popular as its next door neighbor, The Grove, but it surely tops my list as a must place to go. Why? Because of the food, produce and quaint stores within the complex.
The freshest produce, artisanal goodies, food offerings and hard to find home essentials abound. The vibe is laid-back, friendly and easy. A rustic feel even. Very realwith absolutely no pretensions. Botox, thick make-up, siliconed skins, fake eyelashes and smiles prevalent in Hollywood and most of L.A. are nowhere to be found here. Definitely our kind of place.
A real gem in L.A.

I've never been big fan of "theme" restaurants…or "theme" anything for that matter. So as I walked into the Harley-Davidson Café under the huge Heritage Softail bursting from its exterior, I wasn't expecting much. In a nice surprise, the Las Vegas Strip restaurant had enough cool stuff to make it worth a visit.
The most eye-catching vision upon entering the massive eatery, is a two-story American flag constructed of vertically hanging chains. Advertised as the world's heaviest American flag, I have no reason to doubt the claim. Soon you see the most intriguing feature in the café. Seven Harleys hang from a huge conveyer chain that snakes its way through the restaurant. The bikes climb in a slow ascent in front of the chain flag until disappearing into a high wall. The bikes then reappear in a path that cuts through the second level bar. Very cool.
In true Las Vegas form, there is a Harley wedding chapel on the second floor. The chapel is flanked by a chopper on one side and a Harley built for Billy Joel on the other. The chapel overlooks the neon Las Vegas Strip. Your nuptials can be officiated by Elvis, if you so desire. One of your wedding guests will be a huge chrome eagle hanging from the roof that has a V-twin as a heart.
There is enough celebrity memorabilia to keep you occupied while you wait for your order to arrive. There are tanks autographed by everybody from Chuck Norris to Lynn Swan to the Yankees Baseball Team. You'll also find everything from vintage dirt track race leathers to Jon Bon Jovi's snake skin jacket in wall-mounted displays. Of course, there is a Captain America replica chopper on which you can have your photo taken (for a fee).
Since it is a café, I should make some mention of the food. It's good. They advertise the "best barbecue in Las Vegas". Just like with the "world's heaviest flag", I have no reason to doubt the claim. The food was good and the service was fast and friendly. All in all, the Harley Café is a place any motorcycle enthusiast will find interesting. It's loaded with American motorcycling history and over-the-top Vegas glitz. Upon leaving you'll find two Harleys constructed of vines and leaves (no jokes about Harleys being so slow they grow roots!).

REVIEW: Promise Me Forever by Lorraine Heath
Dear Ms. Heath:
I was lured into buying your book by positive reader comments and a $1.00 off coupon from Borders. I really have to work on the whole willpower thing. You see, I haven't really been happy with you since you began transporting your characters from Texas to the Ton. I suppose in an effort to gain new readers or a larger market share or whatever. Since you've left your roots of writing, I haven't enjoyed your books. They seem full of TSTL heroines. (I particularly thought Lydia in Love With a Scandalous Lord needed a good bitch slapping, but ALAD), cardboard heroes, and hackneyed plots. I can forgive the hackneyed plots but not the one dimensional characters. Romance is, after all, a character driven story.
So what was I thinking when I bought your book? In my defense, it was late. You had a good theme: childhood friends who grow up to be lovers. I had worked 15 hours and wanted to just go home with a good book. Yours was not it.
I made it up until about 60 when I threw the book at my DH and asked him to toss it on the ground and stomp on it. The huge problem of your story was that it promised something in the blurb that you did not deliver. You promised me that Tom and Lauren were childhood friends who had made a pact with one another. What did this pact consist of? A 16 year old Tom trying twice to unbutton Lauren's shirt and failing because of the intercession of Lauren's mother. That's it. After that second encounter, lasting all of what – 30 seconds? Lauren and her family move to England never to see Tom again until he shows up as the long lost Earl of Sachse.
And isn't it incredible that all these titled Englishman are lost in the same small town in Texas? Incredible is right. Incredibly stupid. Incredibly impossible. Incredibly unimaginative.
But let's return to the childhood friendship which consisted of two brief encounters when pervert Tom wants to defile young Lauren. Cause that is sexy and hot. Based upon these events, Tom just cannot forget Lauren and has come to England to see her and have her make good on disrobing for him. WTF? You expect me to buy into that? Nuh uh.
I did skip to the end where I saw another wonderful plot device:
The society miss, crazed with jealousy, attempts to kill the herione. Tom refuses to leave her side. Sob. How wonderful. Wow. I would have never guessed that one.DNF.
Best regards,

The start of a legacy…
Over 50 years ago Irontown Homes and our custom modular philosophy started to form when Richard Valgardson was just a boy. When he was 11 his father, Paul Valgardson, returned from World War II and bought a company located in Provo, Utah that specialized in house moving, and he named it Valgardson House Movers. Richard was his father's oldest child, so he helped his father move houses. While he helped out he learned how to build homes and he saw firsthand the weaknesses of site construction. He attended Brigham Young University, and then founded a construction company. In 1987 he created Valgardson Housing Systems after his first company enjoyed many successful years. This new company put together his home moving experience and his custom site construction knowledge. Valgardson Housing Systems quickly became successful at producing modular homes, building more than 300 homes a year. Richard created Irontown Homes when he realized that no factory in the industry offered clients the opportunity to design their own custom luxury home.
Irontown Homes is family owned, and many of the employees, such as the executives, begin experiencing the industry at a young age like Richard did. As a company with family roots we are for our clients and wish to have a pleasant relationship with each family as we help them build their new home. We specialize in building quality pre-fabricated homes that are customizable so each client can create their floor plan design and customize all the details of the home. We provide our services to the entire western United States with quite a bit of experience in California's high population areas. Irontown Homes is designed to see your home building process through from the first day to the last with our own transportation company, stitch crew, and set crew. We offer full service projects to ensure the whole process is done right. There's no need to worry about elements not matching up when just one company takes care of the factory building process and the site construction. It will eliminate any on site surprises and confusion between the site contractor and the factory. It will also do away with additional costs and hassles.
We recently opened a new cutting edge facility to increase productivity. This facility allows us to streamline the building process to make it more efficient and less time consuming while saving our clients money. This new factory operates differently than other factories by eliminating the standard production line assembly. During the building process our homes are placed in their own designated locations where their custom designs are given the proper attention they deserve in order to create a high quality home. Each home having a designated space guarantees your home will be built as soon as it can be, and the construction of the other homes in separate spaces will not delay your home in any way.
The production area of our new factory takes up 60,000 of the factory's 66,000 square feet, which makes it four times bigger than the last factory's production area. The 45 foot ceilings and 180 foot span of overhead areas allows us to construct two-story structures with the stories on top of each other. In the factory the homes are built to sit the way they will at your site, which eliminates building discrepancies at the site. The factory's large production area allows us to take on any project, regardless of size.
Come to our brand new facility and enjoy a tour.

Drop Everything & Watch Rachel Comey's Cat-Cam
According to Fashionista, a friend of Comey's found the two kittens and their mother in the back of her new apartment building in Brooklyn. Now, she and Comey have joined forces to find the cats a loving home, and to give anyone who visits the website a healthy dose of fashion cuteness.
We love watching Grumpy Cat parade around Condé Nast as much as the next person, but we really appreciate how the designer is using her audience to help out some less-famous felines — especially if it means we get to watch them cuddle on a split screen at work all day.
The kittens are about six weeks old, and their mother is roughly a year. If you're as absolutely charmed by them as we are, and live in a pet-friendly apartment, email firstname.lastname@example.com to take them home. After all, don't we all just want a little Choupette (or three) to come home to?

text: LONDON/DAMASCUS: The outgoing head of the British Army said on Thursday the West would need to fight a war against Syrian President Bashar Al Assad if it wanted to have a "material impact" on his calculations. In interviews to two British newspapers, General David Richards said there were arguments for and against such a course of action and the British government was still debating its options on Syria. But if a political decision was made to try to change the tide of the conflict to put pressure on the Syrian government, which has notched up military gains in recent months, Britain would need to intervene in the same way as it did in Libya, he said. "If you wanted to have the material impact on the Syrian regime's calculations that some people seek, a no-fly zone per se is insufficient," Richards told The Daily Telegraph. "You have to be able, as we did successfully in Libya, to hit ground targets. If you want to have the material effect that people seek you have to be able to hit ground targets and so you would be going to war if that is what you want to do." The West would need to destroy the Syrian government's air defences as well as its tanks and armoured personnel carriers, he added. "That is rightly a huge and important decision. There are many arguments for doing so but there are many arguments for not doing so too." Richards separately told The Sun newspaper that Britain would have to act if it saw chemical weapons proliferation as a result of the Syrian conflict. "We have contingency plans for everything," he said. Richards retires on Thursday after a military career spanning more than 40 years. British Foreign Secretary William Hague has promised lawmakers that the government would seek parliament's consent before deciding to arm the rebels.Meanwhile, on ground at least 29 people have been killed in fighting between Kurdish and jihadist fighters in northern Syria in the past two days, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Thursday. "At least 19 Al Nusra Front fighters and 10 Kurds have been killed since the day before yesterday in clashes in the oil region of Hassakeh," the NGO said.A Syrian military helicopter fired rockets at a pro-rebel region of eastern Lebanon in the early hours of Thursday, a security source said."A military helicopter violated Lebanese airspace and fired four rockets at 01:30 am in the Arsal area, two of which exploded, causing damage," the source said on condition of anonymity. The attack did not cause any injuries. On Wednesday, the group said Syrian Kurdish fighters had pushed members of Nusra and the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant out of the town of Ras Al Ain and its nearby border crossing with Turkey. The clashes between Kurdish fighters and jihadists erupted after Al-Nusra Front militants attacked a convoy of Kurdish women fighters, Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said. The Observatory said that jihadist fighters began firing rockets at Ras Al Ain, in western Hassakeh, after their expulsion. They also attacked several roadblocks manned by Kurdish fighters and clashes were ongoing in the village of Tall Alu and Karhok in eastern Hassakeh, the group added.

LANELY, TEXAS. Lanely is on Farm Road 489 four miles southeast of Dew in south central Freestone County. It was established about 1880 and named for a Methodist preacher. The community had a general store, cotton gin, church, and school. A post office was established there in 1899 with James K. Lane as postmaster. Between 1903 and 1910 the boll weevil damaged area cotton crops so badly that local farmers were forced to start raising stock. The Lanely post office was closed in 1907, and mail was delivered from Buffalo. By the 1930s Lanely comprised a church, a business, and a few scattered dwellings. In 1966 its population was estimated at eighty, but from 1970 to 1990 it was reported as twenty-seven.

Detected all but one threat in testing, removed majority of those detected. Shows spyware details including severity. Links to more information online.
Real-time spyware blocking not effective. No ability to schedule regular scans. Can't restore individual quarantined items.
Bottom Line
Ad-Aware does a good job of detecting and removing spyware, and provides useful information about the threats it finds. Its Ad-Watch real-time protection displayed many warnings about system changes, but was not effective at preventing spyware installation. We suggest you use the free Personal edition, which lacks Ad-Watch, as a backup scan for your main antispyware utility.
Despite just the few hundredths of a change in version number, Ad-Aware SE Plus 1.06 is a significant update. It scans faster, offers more detailed scan results and statistics, and includes protection against direct attack by spyware. Its Code Sequence Identification feature attempts to identify new spyware variants before full definitions are available. It now scans all modules of running processes and can unload offending modules on the fly. And it sports an updated skinnable user interface.
The big difference between the Plus edition that we evaluated and the free Ad-Aware Personal edition is the Ad-Watch real-time protection module. Ad-Watch blocks browser hijacks, tracking cookies and changes to Windows startup, among other things. Most importantly, it blocks suspicious processes in memory. Or at least, that's what it's supposed to do. In our testing, it did not actually prevent any spyware installations. It did frequently display an alarm warning of, for example, a change to the startup configuration. However, it did not identify these changes as related to a specific spyware threat; and even though we chose to block all such events, the spyware installed regardless. We took multiple warnings in quick succession as a cue to run a full scan, and in a few cases the scan successfully removed the just-installed spyware.
Ad-Aware was better at removing spyware than at blocking its initial installation. Ad-Aware at least detected all but one of our sample threats, and removed two thirds of those it detected. Double-clicking a found item brings up a page of local details, including the item's Threat Assessment Chart (TAC), rating from 1 to 10, and a link to more information on Lavasoft's Web site. It saves a very detailed log file of scanning and removals, but the information is so spread out that we found it difficult to interpret. More useful is the Statistics page, which lists all threats the program has found along with TAC rating, the number of times the item was found, times it was removed, and the date it was most recently found. Double-clicking an item in the Statistics page opens its online detail page.
Ad-Aware includes other less-visible features like scanning Registry branches for all users and ferreting out spyware hiding in NTFS Alternate Data Streams. However, it lacks some features found in most of its competitors. You can set it to perform a full or "smart" scan at startup, but there's no other scheduling option. Restoring an individual item from quarantine is not possible; you have to undo the entire scan and then re-scan, marking the specific item to be ignored.
Ad-Aware's strengths lie more in spyware removal and information, less in spyware blocking. Since the free Personal edition includes everything but the Ad-watch blocking module, you may want to use it instead; run it as an additional cleanup step when your main antispyware program reports trouble.

Boot Help for High Instep.
Can anyone help me find a boot for a high instep. Not arch. I've owned a pair of burton hails, and k2 raiders, tried on multiple brands, although the selection in my area is very small, and i cant seem to find one that doesnt give me pain on the top of my foot. I understand boots fit differently for each persons foot shape but any recommendations would be great.
Was also thinking about insoles, but i really cant see how a insole that raises your foot up higher could possibly help a high volume foot like mine.
Custom orthotics? theres no place within 2 hours of me.
i had burton hails and had the same issue with my instep.
i recently purchased a pair of Flow Rift boots and although i havent tried them on the mountain yet they felt great for the 10 minutes i was wearing them around the store.

Should Plastic Surgery Be Banned for Teens?
In Australia, there's a raging debate over plastic surgery right now. Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has spoken out about teenagers who choose plastic surgery, saying that deciding to go under the knife is a decision "best left until one is an adult." Additionally, she's concerned that young people may be addressing poor self-esteem by having rhinoplasties and breast augmentations:
"Evidence suggests that this worrying trend is a response by children and young people to the pressures they are feeling to look perfect in an increasingly competitive world obsessed with beauty and celebrity."
This is more than just idle talk, though. Premier Bligh has introduced a discussion paper that considers banning non-essential plastic surgery for people younger than 18. If she can get support, Queensland could be the first Australian state to have such a ban. What do you think? Is this something you'd support, or should the government be completely hands-off?

Administrivia: Three Rules of Three
So, you've got a really great idea for a trope. The description—let's call it a "thesis"—is brief, punchy, and wonderfully common. Something you're sure we don't have, either because you Did The Research or because you asked around. So, you did the smart thing: you posted your trope idea on You Know That Thing Where, our official page for composing idea drafts. You know, brainstorming. It isn't essential, but it sure is encouraged. How do you know if what you have, though, really is something that you should spend time adding to the site? For those guidelines, after some debate in the community, we established the Three Rules Of Three. Let's make one thing clear right now: There Is No Such Thing as Notability. We'll call them "rules", but you can think of them more as "rules of thumb" or "guidelines" — you can break them, if you want, but remember that the community may alter your creation later. Them, as they say, is the breaks. Three Shall Be the Number of Rules, and the Number of Rules Shall Be Three:
Three Examples
- The burden of proof is upon the person proposing the trope.note To prove that your concept is a trope, it's a good idea to have at least three solid examples that clearly illustrate your trope's thesis. It's better if you can find examples that are not subversions or inversions; this shows that you're actually proposing a trope, and not just a happenstance occurrence. In some cases, such as a Dead Horse Trope, it may not be possible to find three examples where it is played straight. There's good news though: you don't have to come up with these yourself. Use You Know That Thing Where. Other tropers will help you.
Three Agree
- What good's a trope without a name? An ideal trope name, it's generally agreed, should be punchy but not too opaque, understandable but witty. (And a good name can be both at the same time: see Politeness Judo, for example.) Now, different people will have different opinions on what's too clever for its own good. How do you know when you have a winning title? The guideline is this: when three tropers can agree on a single name, it's pretty solid. Sometimes, three tropers may agree on more than one name; it's usually better to go with the majority in this case.
Three Days
- Nobody built Rome in a day, right? Most trope theses are born rough: They need sanding on the edges, polish for the surface, and a good dose of that lighthearted tongue-in-cheek humor we so love 'round these parts. As such, a trope must be left on You Know That Thing Where... for three days before you try to launch it. This lets the community add their own insight, request clarification, and maybe point out that, yes, we already DO Have That One. Today this rule is enforced by the software; the "launch" button won't appear until three days have passed.

Hockey back in Quebec soon?
Marcel Aubut, who was Quebec Nordiques' former owner before they moved to Colorado, told yesterday that he believes the Nordiques could be back in the league.
There's more to this story…What's more interesting is there is a rumor in Quebec Area that Guy Laliberté, owner of "Le Cirque du Soleil" along with the owner of "Couche-Tard" would both be very interested in bringing back an hockey team in Quebec city. And believe me if these guys want something they got the $$$ to get it!
But which team could moved in Quebec? (or Winnipeg)
Pittsburgh? Carolina? Florida? Nashville? Anaheim?
All good choices but as a futur Nordiques fan I would prefer if the Pens would become our new team, bringing back Crosby in Canada.

Naked ex girlfriend Amanda posing and playing
My ex-girlfriend Amanda was half-Asian and she loved three things more than anything else in the world: partying, drinking and fucking. We used to dance our asses off in the club only to come back home and hold another sort of a bedroom party with me having my camera on and Amanda posing naked and playing with her pussy to tease me. You bet I fucked her brains out every time we did that and these nude ex girlfriend pics make me wanna go back in time and do it again.

For Paul McCartney, it all started in Liverpool in 1942. His dad was a professional musician and helped his son learn to play the guitar, and Paul taught himself the piano by ear. By the time he was 15, Paul had met John Lennon, who already had a band called the Quarrymen. Paul and George Harrison joined Lennon's band by 1958. After going through a few names, they settled on the Beatles and started touring widely as their success grew. They also picked up a new drummer, Ringo Starr, to complete their final foursome.

West Shamokin football coach resigns
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Just as West Shamokin's football program began to change for the better, its coach stepped down.
Josh Gilliland resigned Friday morning after four seasons in charge of the Wolves. Gilliland cited unspecified personal reasons but made clear he had a strong bond with West Shamokin, which ended a WPIAL-record 46-game losing streak and finished with its best record (3-7) since 2002.
"There were some different things I went through during and after the season, and I just felt that I didn't want to be a distraction in the offseason and things like that with some personal matters," Gilliland said. "So I thought it'd be better for the program, for the team, for the school and for me to step down and walk away for right now."
Gilliland had a 3-36 record as coach. The Wolves delivered him his first win at home against Riverview Sept. 14, when they won, 25-6, to end a losing streak that stretched back to 2007.
West Shamokin later defeated Leechburg and Allegheny-Clarion Valley to attain its highest win total since leaving District 9 and joining the WPIAL in 2004.
"I loved coaching football, and I loved coaching at West Shamokin," Gilliland said. "I was very proud of what myself and my staff did with the program over the past four years."
Gilliland met with his players shortly after he delivered his letter of resignation Friday. The team had only four seniors this season.
"There were definitely some looks of shock, but I reassured them that coach (Jon) McCullough and the staff would be in the weight room until the position is filled," Gilliland said. "I wished them the best of luck and thanked them for working hard for me every day."
Gilliland hopes McCullough, his defensive coordinator and top assistant, or one of the other staff members will ultimately fill the vacancy, that way West Shamokin will enjoy some continuity.
Athletic director Tom McClaine said the school likely will start seeking applicants after the holidays.
"We're looking to make a replacement as soon as possible because of the offseason training and the workouts," McClaine said. "We appreciate (Gilliland's) time and commitment. He certainly worked hard all year round. … He got the program headed in a positive direction."
Gilliland acknowledged that a return to football coaching is possible — just not next season.
"I love coaching football too much, and I love trying to help young men be better people on the field and off the field," Gilliland said. "As for the upcoming season, I'm not going to be on anyone's sideline."

Buffalo Grips Vaquero
I know there were some problems with people getting these in a timely mannor and getting refunds from this place. But I decided I would give them a try for a set of their grips for $55 ($67 with shipping) Figure anyplace overseas is going to take 30 days to ship through customs from past experience. So I'm planning on at least a 2 month wait on these. If the deal works out OK I may order another set with the pearl inlay for $100. I have heard the quality is outstanding and the problem comes if there is an error in shipping like if it goes to the wrong address etc. Well see, if I wind up being out $67 so be it. See what happens next.

Alright, to start off I did some homework on Kimson Handicraft out of Vietnam and seemed they started out with a really nice quality product that was far superior to much of what one could get in North America. I found some conversations in Internet forums that caused some alarm. Most of which it seemed some wrong addresses or product was taking way too long to get to people and some were claiming product was not arriving at all. I also noticed how the owner kept responding to these accusations and trying to take care of the customer. If I had not seen a set of real buffalo horn grips on a Ruger Vaquero like mine I probably would not have bothered. I wanted a set like them and could not find the type of quality I wanted. I had often purchased Items from around the world including Russia, China and Korea and realize it takes right around 30 days to receive many products. Take into account the time it takes to hand make something vs. punch it out of a press. I decided to risk it so I placed an order.
Time went by and after a couple months I decided to follow up as the status had not changed. So I logged into my handicraftva account and went to send a communications inquiring about my order and that I'm worried I may have to cancel my order or call my credit card company to overturn charges. I quickly found out my CometBird (Firefox) browser does not like the help center portal that is available on the website. It worked fine however, with Internet Explorer. I sent off my communication and within a day or two I received a response back from Mr. Kimson himself reassuring me they had not forgotten about me and I had not fallen through the cracks. I advised I due to time I would wait another 45 days giving him two weeks to make them and 30 days to ship. I received a response back that said it may be difficult as it is a natural product and often difficult to keep up due to limited quality supply, but that I should wait due to the quality they select for their base product.
Ok, coming from a farm and ranching area I understand the idea of taking product if it is grain or cattle you generally take them to market certain times of year thus limiting available supply. I also talked to my better half beauty salon owner from Vietnam to ask him about what may be going on. He advised that Vietnam is not like the U.S. where we order it now, we get it now to fulfill our want for instant gratification. Especially with custom order like this is involved. He also advised me to wait but just keep in touch and advise on concerns. With this already done I decided to wait.
Here is how the timeline broke down.
3/2/2012 Placed Order
5/11/2012 Communication Sent through Help Center with concerns and that I would give 45days
5/11/2012 Mr. Kimson responds.
5/19/2012 Customer service responded back to inquiry
6/1/2012 Ready to ship
6/5/2012 Shipped
6/14/2012 Package received.
I just got these today and all I can say is they are gorgeous! They have a nice deep finish look with the grains hardly visible. I used a flashlight to show what I am talking about yet you can't see the depth with a camera. I immediately put them on and they fit really well right out of the box. Though I could make them a little more tight around the hilt but the way they were made is really perfect in my opinion when it comes to fit. The only area that would be required to rub down with a little sandpaper and polished with a jewelers cloth is the area covered by the gun itself where the grip meets the body. Again It's better that it come with a little much in that one area than not enough or and excessive amount of too much. I like them enough I may order a second pair with bone or abalone through the center or order a set of 1911 grips. They look that good. The screw that comes in it is a hex that works nice with a Torx head to lock the driver in good and keep it from coming out and scratching the finish unlike the original screw that came with the gun which is a strait tip.
Some people are not into the waiting game but to me it was well worth it and if your not the type who likes to wait or have to followup on your order then this is probably not for you.

Little better quality pics with a better camera. To the naked eye they look black and are glass smooth. Look under brighter light and the grain of the horn comes out. No way will I go with plastic grips given a choice again.
Funny thing is the government wont even let the guy have a real handgun to use to fit them with. From what I understand some people have sent their stock grips to him to start with. This is an interesting article I stumbled accross. http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2...911-grips.html
Thing I understand now is that you could very well wait up to a year or a little more for them depending on; 1. your communications with the man, and 2. his supply and availability of current raw materials. When do horns and other materials show up at market? Rainy season? etc.
As far as shipping errors I noticed on my package that my drive is listed as Doorr. I'm actually surprised my USPS people figured out it was Drive as they seem to be lazy and will often hit me with a final delivery attempt before sending a package back without any prior notification of delivery attempts. The reason for this is I believe I put for delivery instructions to "deliver to west door" at my house. I should have known better from my experience of living in Germany. When you have to translate between languages keep it short and simple as possible. I should have written out "Drive" and left my delivery instructions blank.

The 2012 presidential election is over and again President Obama is the winner.
He will pay the price for this win as he did for winning in 2008. The Republicans, after they lost in 2008, were not very cooperative and tried to undercut the president when they could.
Mitch McConnell , the GOP senate leader, stated that their goal was to make sure President Obama did not win in 2012.
Solving the problems of two costly wars, a weak economy, along with a high national debt and high unemployment was not even mentioned.
In spite of all these distractions, President Obama was able to bring the combat troops home from Iraq, save the auto industry from going under, and rid the world of a vicious terrorist leader.
President Obama's second term will be filled with the same uncooperative Republicans who will try to undercut any proposals he might make to help our country.
Already Lindsey Graham is trying to hold Pres. Obama responsible of the Benghazi raid.
McCain is trying to block a nomination that the president has not even made yet.
There is even a group that want to impeach him.
It is time the Republicans get off their high horse and do what is good for the country rather than what can make their party stronger.
Compromise is a good tool to use to solve differences between two parties, and it is not to late for both parties to use it. We can do a lot better than what we have been doing.

Circle Skirts - full; 3/4; 1/2; 1/4.
Added Sep 22, 2011
by mahaila
Berlin, Germany
Ever since my Grandma told me how to make a full circle skirt, I have not been able to stop making them. They are just so easy to construct and so effective! We worked out how to decrease the fullness of the skirt with some simple calculations (e.g. 3/4, 1/2, 1/4).
I thought I would share this information so I made up a pdf document which you can find here
How to make a Circle Skirt; Full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4

Bahrain sees biggest protest in weeksComment on this story
Manama -
Riot police in Bahrain fired tear gas and stun grenades Friday as tens of thousands of protesters staged the biggest anti-government demonstrations in weeks in the divided Gulf nation.
Opposition groups called for major rallies after a prominent rights activist, Nabeel Rajab, was placed back in detention earlier this week on fresh charges linked to his social media posts.
Bahrain has experienced near daily protests for 16 months caused by an uprising by the kingdom's Shiite majority seeking greater political rights from the Western-backed Sunni monarchy. At least 50 people have died in the unrest since February 2011.
There were no immediate reports of injuries from Friday's street battles, which left piles of burning trash and clouds of stinging tear gas in the western outskirts of the capital, Manama.
Bahrain's rulers have crucial support from neighboring Saudi Arabia, but are under pressure from their U.S. allies to reopen dialogue with Shiite opposition factions. A new government initiative for talks is expected to be announced next week. But main Shiite groups have already signaled that negotiations are futile unless the ruling dynasty agrees to give up its near total control of government affairs in the strategic island, which is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
Earlier Friday, a defense lawyer said a court hearing is planned next week for an 11-year-old boy detained for allegedly taking part in the anti-government protests.
The lawyer, Mohsen al-Alawi, said the sixth-grade student is scheduled to appear in court on Monday on charges of joining an illegal gathering and other claims related to the ongoing unrest.
Al-Alawi said the boy, Ali Hasan, was arrested last month and took his school exams behind bars. He is among the youngest suspects detained in Bahrain's crackdowns. - Sapa-AP

Not really.. Any objective analysis would say that FF are more or less in the same place as they were this time last year (although I would never accuse you of being objective when it comes to FF) . .
Sunday Independent poll today was imo far more interesting. . . 36% of those polled want to see FF recover and become a realistic alternative party in government, far more than the 23% who want to see Sinn Fein in government.
Another interesting finding in this poll . . Only 3% of people polled think they are to blame for the current economic crisis. . Strange, considering that Fianna Fail achieved 41% of first preference votes as recently as 2007, and I'll wager that more than 3% of us have either had investment properties, 100% mortgages or holidays/cars etc that we cannot afford. . We might not all have gone mad (as other posters will be quick to remind me) but certainly more than 3% of us did
+1 . . I am hoping that this weekend will be a turning point for FF . . no more apologies and gestures. Time to shed the sackcloth and ashes and get on with leading the opposition.
Please provide the questions that provided these percentages.
The questions were leading and do not compare like with like
In any case the results are poor for FF . The constant drone of whinge is obviously not working

Current internet subscription business models are ineffective, and are holding up development of services in the UK, fibre communications firm Level 3 has told Computing.
James Taylor, EMEA content service product manager at Level 3, which is currently working on advancing and refining technology for streaming sports broadcasts, said that ISPs like BT are operating a model that impedes faster, cheaper internet for all.
"Look at their business model," said Taylor. "As a broadband subscriber, you can pay them the same amount every month and that never changes, but you're going to consume more and more bandwidth. So that basically means that they have a fixed income and a variable cost, so that business model at some point doesn't work," said Taylor.
Such a model, said Taylor, will "absolutely affect the way in which [BT] allow the fundamental adoption and consumption of online content."
Taylor suggested that contracts in which small cost increments are gradually introduced for data use is the way forward.
"That's exactly how the industry has to change in order to continue to fuel growth," said Taylor. "It's a long-term business model if the cost increments are small enough."
Taylor believes overturning the current system, "starts with the ISPs".
"Many of them are our customers, so we have these conversations all the time," Taylor told Computing.
ISPs, explained Taylor, offer a range of contracts from the "bargain basement, all you can eat model" to higher cost contracts that "offer better reliability". But none, he said, "drives traffic enough to make the model work" in terms of encouraging consumers to consume more data, which could be monetised.
Taylor also cited legacy architectural issues as an area that requires change. Widespread installation of fast fibre connections will help to reduce costs and put the price that UK customers pay for fast broadband on a par with Japan, China and South Korea, he argued.
Encouraging people to consume more content and bandwidth, said Taylor, but doing so with a reliable quality, is key to development of the internet in the UK.
"We need the internet being connected to companies that know your preferences, and who can facilitate access to interactive content. And that's the sort of thing that will drive people to consume fundamentally more content or bandwidth, and that's what we want to facilitate."

I just ordered a combo set of 714 irons. 3-6 in AP2 and 7-pw in CB and they are 1 inch long and 1* flat. My question is will Titleist keep the lofts how they are or change them since the stock AP2 lofts and the stock CB lofts are a bit different where the set splits. Would i have to have ordered them to be changed? Thanks
We will not change lofts unless requested. If you want lofts changed, please contact your pro right away as the order will get started within an hour of your pro calling it in.
is there any way you could track my order since i wont recieve a tracking number since it is going to a store. the order number is 198252.thanks
