Attacks on civilians, torture, the use of child soldiers or biological weapons—all are prohibited in war. But not everyone is familiar with the international humanitarian laws that govern armed conflict. To introduce students to the concepts and content of these rules, EDC and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) developed the Exploring Humanitarian Law (EHL) program. The newly launched EHL Virtual Campus Web site helps teachers bring this program to classrooms around the globe.
"The Web site was set up in response to a growing demand by teachers for help in bringing the law of war into the secondary school classroom," says Nicole Martins-Maag of the ICRC. "We hope that international humanitarian law will eventually be included in secondary school curricula around the world and become part of the basic education given to teenagers. Education authorities must become closely involved in bringing EHL to young people."
Barbara Powell, who directed the EHL Virtual Campus project for EDC and who has been involved with training teachers to use the EHL program since 1999, adds, "It is so inspirational to see how teachers put the program into action. My hope is that the teacher training—live and online—enhances teachers' skills and confidence in their role as explorers and that the Web site will be a hub of conversation among EHL teachers."
Students in 60 countries participate in the EHL program. They receive 30 hours of interactive classroom activities, exploring an array of ethical and humanitarian issues—from child soldiers and war crimes to prisoners of war and missing persons. The materials, which are based on both history and current events, show how international humanitarian law aims to protect life and human dignity and reduce and prevent the suffering and destruction that result from war. The program encourages students to understand the need for humanitarian norms and to develop an interest in local and international events.

Climate Change
The Storm Ahead
The Earth's climate is changing at a rate that has exceeded most scientific forecasts. Some families and communities have already started to suffer from the negative side of climate change, forced to leave their homes in search of a new beginning.
For UNHCR, the consequences of climate change are enormous. Scarce natural resources such as drinking water are likely to become even more limited. Many crops and some livestock are unlikely to survive in certain locations if conditions become too hot and dry, or too cold and wet. Food security, already a significant concern, will become even more challenging.
People will have to try and adapt to this situation, but for many this will mean a conscious move to another place to survive. Such moves, or the adverse effects that climate change may have on natural resources, may spark conflict with other communities, as an increasing number of people compete for a decreasing amount of resources.
In addition to working on vital human rights issues relating to population displacement induced by climate change, UNHCR will adapt much of its environment-related planning and work to address the effects of climate change.

From G L Watson & Co website
In 1929 G.L. Watson & Co. was commissioned by the heiress Lady Yule to design a steam yacht that would permit her to "visit every part of the globe she desired". Following in a line of acknowledged classics we produced a design which was at the pinnacle of the evolution of clipper bow and counter stern steam yachts. Clydebuilt by John Brown & Co., Nahlin's elegance was acclaimed in her day and, with her survival to the 21st century, she remains the ultimate classic power
After several extended cruises, including a circumnavigation, Lady Yule made Nahlin available for charter. In the summer of 1936 King Edward VIII chartered her for a cruise down the Adriatic and on to Istanbul. The presence of Wallis Simpson aboard attracted great media attention and the news of the royal romance immediately preceded the abdication crisis. These news reports also brought Nahlin to the attention of King Carol II of Romania who acquired her in 1937. With the outbreak of war King Carol quit his throne and Nahlin was left on the backwaters of the Danube. Ironically, this was to be Nahlin's salvation. Unlike many pre war yachts, Nahlin was neither requisitioned for the war effort, nor modernised in the post war era. Instead she survived largely unmodified.
In 1988 William Collier had recently moved to the south of France and with the encouragement of Nicholas Edmiston set about investigating Nahlin's fate. Discovered on the banks of the Danube operating as a floating restaurant she was in a sorry state but, despite neglect, Nahlin's beauty shone through. Inspired by Collier's photographs the pair set about her rescue.
With the collapse of the Soviet block and the Romanian revolution the yacht was sold to a privatised company. Edmiston and Collier began the hard task of her purchase & repatriation. With the volatile post communist political situation there was much frustration, but finally in 1999 Nahlin returned to British waters and today Nahlin is once again registered in her home port of Glasgow
In the years since her return to the UK G.L. Watson's sister company, Yachtworks, have been engaged in stabilising her condition and preparing her for restoration. To date the ship has been drydocked and her hull has been comprehensively surveyed. Over 450 tons of asbestos insulation, heavy fuel oil and debris have been been removed. The surviving interior has been surveyed, and CAD drawings produced of interior designs and panelling schemes. Casts have been made of delicate plaster mouldings and enrichments. These coupled with the archival material in the G.L. Watson archives provide an un
rivalled basis for her restoration.
G.L. Watson & Co. were appointed Special Consultants to the Nahlin Project in 2000 and with first hand experience of the vessel, the partners at G.L. Watson have produced concept drawings of how Nahlin can be rebuilt and brought back into use as the ultimate classic yacht."
At the outbreak of war, King Carol abdicated his throne and NAHLIN (renamed LUCEAFARUL) was left in a backwater of the Danube River. In 1988 she was discovered operating as a floating restaurant on the Danube renamed LIBERTATEA. Purchased by Edmiston. Dr William Collier, consultant to Edmiston & Co, managed her removal from Romania and re
delivery to British Waters. Additional information from Joe McMillan Collection.

Brand new specialists and a lightweight generalist
2002: Production moves from Gaggenau to the Wörth plant
2002: Premieres for the U 3000, U 4000 and U 5000
2005: Arrival of the elegant Unimog Black Edition
2006: Synergies for production in Wörth
Before long, however, these new off-road implement carriers were joined by an uncompromising triumvirate designed for extreme off-road and heavy-duty applications, vehicles that in many ways marked a significant watershed in Unimog history. For the
U 3000, U 4000 and U 5000 – such were the designations of the newcomers presented in 2002 – no longer came from Gaggenau, but were instead brought into the world at the Wörth plant near Karlsruhe.
On 26 August 2002, Wörth became the new production location for the Unimog. From this point on, Gaggenau, once the company's major truck facility, no longer produced vehicles, concentrating instead on axles and transmissions. 380 employees moved site with immediate effect, and 480 trucks shipped 6,000 tonnes of freight from Gaggenau to Wörth. By mid 2003, they were joined by a further 300 employees from the production capacity, development, controlling and sales departments.
Optimised production at the Wörth plant
In Wörth, on the other hand, the Unimog encountered ideal conditions for the new tailored profile of the two series with differing target groups. The off-road U 300 to
U 500 implement carriers now catered for municipalities, local authorities and commercial service providers, in addition to the construction and transport industries. The new U 3000 to U 5000 models, with their extreme off-road capabilities, were specially designed for the fire service, forest fire fighting, expeditions, disaster relief and security applications. As such, therefore, they were strictly in line with the traditional Unimog qualities.
Nevertheless, production followed composite design principles. Both series were mounted and produced by group work on the same assembly line. The dedicated assembly shop, covering 16,000 square metres, had two simultaneous production strands: on one line, beginning with the frame, the chassis was made; on a second line, the appropriate cab gradually took shape. Finally, these two elements were 'married' to create a roadworthy Unimog.
Synergies with truck production
The newborn Unimog now undertook a short journey into the world of Wörth truck production in order to receive its paintwork, finish and, as required, a platform. Delivery of the Unimog was also integrated directly into the Wörth customer centre, which housed a purpose-built training room for those collecting their Unimog. Here customers could discover all they ever needed to know about effective use of the vehicle and its innovative technology from the Unimog experts.
Mixed production caused relatively few problems, since the same principle of maximising shared parts applied to both Unimog series. There was a share-and-share-alike approach, for example, with the 900 series engines (150 to 218 hp/110 to 160 kW), the UG 100-8 transmission and the semi-automatic EPS (from 2003 a fully automated gearshift was also available as an option). The two series also had identical brakes, steering and instruments.
Specially engineered for extreme off-road capability
The parting of the ways came, however, where cab, frame, axles, axle mountings and frame structure for equipment add-ons were concerned. The high torsional flexibility of the new extreme off-road Unimog models was to a large extent the result of a flexible ladder-type frame made of two U-section longitudinal members with welded tubular cross members.
The standard package included front and rear portal gear axles with differential locks, hub reduction gears, transverse links, torque tube, coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers and torsion bar stabilisers front and rear. The all-steel cab (supplied by Wackenhut-Oxford) with roof hatch was also available in a crew-cab version. Like the engine, transmission, platform and body, the cabin was mounted on a triple bearing, which thus soaked up every movement of the vehicle without complaint.
Precisely defined spectrum from U 3000 to U 5000
Both the engine range and spectrum of gross vehicle weights were naturally more narrowly defined in the U 3000 to U 5000 off-road specialists (437.4 model series) than in the implement carriers from the 405 series (U 300 to U 500). Whereas the gross vehicle weight for the 405 models ranged from 7.5 to 16.0 tonnes, the U 3000 to
U 5000 models spanned just 7.5 to 14.1 tonnes. And whereas a U 500 made use of the large 6.4-litre six-cylinder from the 900 engine series (231 and 279 hp/170 and 205 kW), for example, Unimog models from the 437.4 series relied strictly on the four-cylinder from the 900 series.
This came in three power ratings: 150 hp (110 kW), 177 hp (130 kW) and 218 hp
(160 kW). Worth noting here: the most powerful version, designated OM 924 LA, was specifically designed for the Unimog product unit and was based on a 4.8-litre rather than the usual 4.2-litre displacement of the OM 904 LA. The extra displacement resulted from a bore of 106 rather than 102 millimetres and a stroke of 136 rather than 130 millimetres.
BlueTEC smoothes the way for Euro 4 and Euro 5
These four-cylinders were exclusively combined in the U 3000 to U 5000 models with the UG 100-8 transmission, which gave the driver eight forward and six reverse gears, and was also available with optional off-road gears. One ingenious feature, already familiar from the U 300 to U 500 models, was the EQR function (Electronic Quick Reverse) – a pre-selectable, synchronised shift function that facilitated rapid forward and reverse shifting, and therefore made it easy to rock free a vehicle that had become stuck.
The Unimog accompanied Mercedes-Benz trucks step by step along the road to Euro 4 and Euro 5, where BlueTEC diesel technology was the byword for emission control using SCR catalytic converters. The first Euro 4 Unimog models went on show at the 2006 IAA International Motor Show in Hanover. For markets outside the EU, however, the familiar Euro 3 engines remained available.
Dark art: Unimog Black Edition
With an exclusive Black Edition already having been introduced some time ago for the Actros in Europe and the Axor in Brazil, the Unimog did not have to wait long for the same. And it was not by chance that the Unimog U 500 Black Edition made its debut at the Dubai Motor Show in December 2005. The target group which it was hoped would set its sights on this noble vehicle was quite different from other prospective buyers of the 405 series.
It was designed to appeal as a high-end vehicle for excursions into desert regions or as the ultimate leisure vehicle for the individualist, something that offered rather more than the conventional and now highly fashionable SUV off-roaders. With a permissible trailer tonnage well into double figures, it was easily capable of towing most yachts. Moreover, the Sunday driving ban for trucks did not apply to the U 500, in spite of its maximum gross vehicle weight of 16 tonnes.
Vehicle tuning firm Brabus get to grips
The U 500 Black Edition was a vehicle of superlatives: tuning company Brabus designed a highly elegant silhouette, the most distinctive features of which were a platform with integral side panels, a gleaming, futuristic-looking, silver bumper and polished stainless steel roll-over bar. And, of course, the design would not have been complete without an upswept chrome exhaust pipe reminiscent of a US truck.
On the inside the Unimog Black Edition indulged its driver with 16 features in real carbon, Alcantara leather trim for the roof and A/B-pillars and seats upholstered in finest mastic leather. The footwells were carpeted in soft velour, the pedals on the other hand were finished in aluminium and the steering wheel in black leather. On the inside, too, the Black Edition was a first-class implement carrier: entertainment and information highlights included the COMAND system from the S-Class, which offered a 6.5' screen, DVD navigation, CD changer and a specially developed compass function.
The third wave: Premiere of the U 20 at the 2006 IAA
As a perfect complement to the current 405 and 437.4 series and in stark contrast to the elegant Unimog Black Edition, Mercedes-Benz presented the new Unimog U 20 at the IAA International Motor Show. It showed itself to be a relatively lightweight and also less expensive all-rounder – a vehicle that went some way to bridging the gap between utility vehicle and truck.
Its target groups were those sectors of industry that considered existing all-wheel-drive trucks inadequate and the two other Unimog series over-equipped. The sorts of circles for which the new U 20 came into question were the building trade, landscape gardeners, local municipalities and energy providers.
The U 20 opens an entirely new chapter in Unimog history
And so the U 20 began an entirely new chapter in the almost 60-year history of the Unimog. It arrived on the scene as a light-duty implement carrier with a GVW of between 7.5 and 8.5 tonnes, its typical features being a short wheelbase of 2,700 millimetres and a tilting, forward-control-type, all-steel cab that was new on the European market.
This cab was developed from that of the light-duty Mercedes-Benz Accelo built in Brazil. This specialised in urban applications and was ideally suited to the highly manoeuvrable Unimog U 20. With a vehicle length of 4.9 metres and short wheelbase, it had a turning circle of just 12.8 metres. And for use where low headroom clearance was essential, the overall cab height was just 2.7 metres.
Traditional Unimog engineering retained
Nevertheless, the new vehicle embraced traditional Unimog engineering in the form of portal gear axles, single tyres, three differential locks, permanent all-wheel drive and the U 100 transmission. Mounting points for all types of implements were identical to those of other Unimog models. On the other hand, the only type of engine available was the 156 hp variant (115 kW) of the four-cylinder OM 904 LA.
In addition, the new compact Unimog abandoned such niceties as dual-mode steering and an extreme low-speed facility and was therefore much cheaper (around one third less) than the classic implement carriers from the 405 series (U 300 to U 500). Naturally, the U 20 was of correspondingly lighter calibre: where the gross vehicle weight in the 405 series ranged from 7.5 to 16.0 tonnes, the U 20 contented itself with a GVW of either 7.5 or 8.5 tonnes. If necessary, however, it could tow trailers weighing up to 18 tonnes.

As a motor vehicle with a kerb weight of 5.1 tonnes (including a 2.25-metre dumping platform), the U 20 provided a maximum payload of 3.4 tonnes. The new compact model was equally well equipped for mounting front-end implements, with permissible axle loads front and rear of 4.5 and 4.6 tonnes respectively. This meant equipment could be front-mounted in addition to an unequal distribution of loads. The U 20 was just as comfortable with front-mounted mowing apparatus as with a 3.4-metre wide snowplough and 1.5-cubic-metre wet salt spreader.
Mercedes-Benz delivered the newest member of the family of all-wheel-drive all-rounders as standard with tilt hydraulics; alternatively, customers could opt for standardised winter utility hydraulics, power-take-off transmission and front implement carrier.
The U 20 first demonstrates its ability in 2007
Customers had to wait until the first quarter of 2008 for delivery of the U 20. It gave a first public demonstration of its capabilities carrying summer utility implements at the demopak trade fair in Eisenach in June 2007. It later proved its abilities on snow and ice during a tour of German winter sports resorts.
The U 20 came at just the right time, for in 2008 Germany alone boasted around 12,000 Unimogs from the 424 and 427 series, vehicles built from 1982 to 2000, that were gradually approaching retirement age.
Always abreast of the times
So the Mercedes-Benz Unimog legend is more alive than ever. From its origins to the present day, this all-rounder has differentiated itself from the car in its ability to adapt perfectly to the needs of its buyers. The three new diversified model series of the versatile all-rounder now achieve this better than ever – so the legend of the
Mercedes-Benz Unimog lives on in the best of spirits. Now, as the Unimog – or to give it its original name, "Universal Motor Gerät" – approaches its 60th birthday, the total number of vehicles produced marches proudly towards a new milestone of 330,000 units. The name "Unimog" succeeded in realising early on every marketing strategist's dream – the goal of making the name itself synonymous with the genre.

Very nice
Thrawn's Revenge is a large-scale mod for Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. It includes the events of the Galactic Civil War after Palpatine's death at Endor, up until the signing of the Pellaeon-Gavrisom treaty. If you own the Steam version of EaW, you will have to complete extra steps to run the mod after installation. Please see the manual for these steps.
Very nice
looks pretty cool, like to see it in action.

By Cal Athletics on Thu, January 09, 2014 Related Links Follow Cal WSD on Facebook BERKELEY - Cal freshman Missy Franklin, who set two school records and won five races at the recent AT&T Winter Nationals, has been named the Pac-12 Swimmer of the Month for December. During the Bears' lone competition last month, which ran Dec. 5-7 in Knoxville, Tenn., Franklin was the meet's high-point scorer over the busy weekend. In her first individual race on the opening night, she swam the 500-yard freestyle – a relatively rare event for her – and came through in a school-record 4:34.63 during a runner-up finish. Franklin then picked up a pair of individual victories on day two, She surged through the water in the 200 free to touch the wall in 1:41.40 to establish a school and meet record. The time was nearly a second ahead of the previous meet standard set by former Cal star Dana Vollmer in 2009. A short time later, Franklin led a group of five Bears in the 100 back final to win in 51.59. In addition, Franklin swam on three relays that won in meet-record fashion – the 400 medley relay and the 400 and 800 free relays. Beyond those five events, Franklin was runner-up to teammate Elizabeth Pelton in the 200 back and third in the 100 free. Each individual race and all three relays were under the NCAA A standard. The Pac-12 honor is the 11th overall for Cal, the most of any conference school since the award's inception. Franklin and the entire Cal team will next be in action in Berkeley on Friday, Jan. 24 when the Bears host Arizona State in a noon meet at Spieker Aquatics Complex.

Josh McCown was traded to Carolina this weekend. The 6th year veteran with 31 starts comes from Miami by what is being reported as a 7th round pick. The team apparently felt that Matt Moore's injury and disappointing play this week was worth pushing for a veteran, and had felt that McCown was intresting prospect for a while now.
McCown is and always has been an intriguing physical prospect, with 4.57 40 speed and a good deep arm, but hasn't been as efficient or mistake-free (36 to 40 TD:INT ratio, 36 fumbles in 44 appearances) as teams have hoped.
After a few years with the Cardinals, including a 400 yards 2 TD game against Carolina (a game Carolina won), McCown went to the Lions to backup Jon Kitna (and was used as a flanker in a handful of games, catching 2 passes). McCown was traded to the Raiders that next year, starting all 9 games he was healthy in. After signing with Miami this year, he was entrenched in a battle for the starting QB job until Chad Pennington became available; McCown was traded to Carolina not long after.
I personally don't understand the urgency to trade for a QB that may have been available; if not, there were other options out there that aren't as mistake prone or expensive (McCown is on the front end of a 2 year, $6 million deal). But we needed a veteran, and McCown is a gamer.

In today's writing generation, it's absolutely amazing that authors can now write a book, edit it, format it, publish it, sell it, print it, ship it, and market it all from their desk top computer. Let's not forget readers! They can buy it and read it on their computers as well. That's the tricky part for authors. How do we get readers to buy our books, read them, and spread the word so overall our sales increase along with our popularity?
It all comes down to marketing! Book marks. Press releases. Emails. Virtual book tours. YouTube Book Trailers. Chat sessions. Blogs. Again, the internet and our home computers are valuable tools for self-published authors when it comes to spreading the word. But it still all comes down to getting our book in the hands of a reader. What if there was a way to track just that? What if a book could go across the country and tell us where it is and where it's been? That would be a POD authors dream come true! For LK Gardner-Griffie, it's about to happen.
LK took full advantage of the self-publishing possibilities Lulu.com has to offer and published eight special hardcover editions of her book, Misfit McCabe, with the intention of linking the books to an online tracking system solely dependent upon her readers to pass the books on. She added special instructions to the books along with some blank pages at the end for her readers to sign and date. She then shipped the books to various friends and family across the country with instructions to pass the book on.
For LK and her readers, the fun comes by visiting the website, Where in the World is Misfit McCabe?, where recipients of each book can log their location and watch where the book goes next. It's like a travel diary where the books can tell us all about their readers and the places they've been. There's an FAQ on the website and even a place to sign up if you would like to get involved and receive one of the special copies, and a nifty Google map (shown above) showing the location of each book which has been assigned a special number and color.
For the next several months, LLBR will be watching and promoting this magnificent marketing plan which LK Gardener-Griffie has invested a ton of time and energy in. Join us in watching Misfit McCabe travel the world! Heck, pop on over to the website and sign up to receive a copy. If you receive one and pass it on, post comments below letting us know about it!
Congratulations to LK and good luck to Misfit McCabe on this marketing adventure! We wish you both much success on the journey!

We are pleased to participate in this years One Maryland One Book project a program designed to bring diverse groups of Marylanders together in library, school, or community settings to share a common reading experience by discussing a work of literature and participating in related events. Weve scheduled two book discussions: one at the Accident Library on Wednesday, September 10, from 7 8:30 p.m., and another at the Oakland Library on Thursday, September 25 from 6:30 8 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Ruth Enlow Library. To register, contact Susan at the Accident Library (301-746-8792 or firstname.lastname@example.com) or Bonnie at the Oakland Library (301-334-3996, x117 or email@example.com).
This years selected book is The Distance Between Us: A Memoir (2012) by Reyna Grande. Born in Mexico and raised by her grandparents after her parents left to find work in the U.S, Reyna, at nine years old, enters the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant to live with her father. Filled with hope, she quickly realizes that life in America is far from perfect. Reyna finds solace from a violent home in books and writing, inspired by the Latina voices she reads. Copies of The Distance Between Us will be available to those who register for the library program.
The discussions at both Accident and Oakland will be facilitated by Gloria Salazar, Licensed Certified Social Worker Clinical. She will begin each event by providing the historical perspective on immigration and then open the evening to discussion. She suggests several movies as optional, supplemental viewing either before or after the book discussions: El Norte (available at the Ruth Enlow Library), The Better Life, and La Familia.
Born of American parents in Mexico City, Mexico, Ms. Salazar speaks both English and Spanish and for the first ten years of her life moved back and forth between Washington, D.C. and Mexico City. She also spent two years living outside the Canal Zone in Panama. In 1959, the family settled in Silver Spring, Maryland, where Ms. Salazar remained until the early 70s. I attribute my bi-cultural childhood and my coming-of-age in the 60s in the Washington, D.C. area as pivotal in how my life has unfolded, she noted.
Ms. Salazar returned to university in 1995 and completed her Bachelors in Social Work in 2000. Shortly after 9/11, she returned to New Mexico and worked with Child Protective Services, where she began helping Central American immigrant families. Ms. Salazar completed her Master's in Social Work in 2005, focusing on cultural diversity and immigration. I held various clinical positions in Albuquerque, always with a focus on providing services to bi-cultural children and their families, she said. Ms. Salazar has retired from clinical practice and resides in McHenry, MD. She continues to provide community-related services and always is open to discussions related to cultural diversity.
One Maryland One Book is Marylands only statewide community reading project and is the signature program of the Maryland Center for the Book at the Maryland Humanities Council. Initiated in fall 2008, this year-long project culminates with two months of public programs, using literature to spur conversations in communities around the state. We are delighted to be a part of the One Maryland One Book program, said Library Director Cathy Ashby. Our participation in this initiative allows us to offer quality programming to our community.

|Gander Mountain Partners With Soles4Souls Effort to Supply 500k Pairs of Shoes
|News Releases - General Info
|Written by Jess Myers
|Friday, 13 April 2012 12:38
Outdoors retailer offering shoppers a free download of new Billy Gilman single The Choice
with footwear sales proceeds in 114 stores nationwide going to fund shoe charity initiative
ST. PAUL, MN, April 12, 2012 -- Gander Mountain is proud to announce a unique arrangement with Soles4Souls which aims to supply 500,000 pairs of shoes to those in need. The nation's premiere outdoors retailer and the Nashville-based charity have joined forces once again, helping promote multi-platinum selling country artist Billy Gilman's new charity single The Choice while working toward the goal of supplying shoes to needy children.
Starting on April 16, Gander Mountain customers who purchase a pair of shoes in stores will receive a free download of Gilman's new single. In addition to Gilman, the song features 18 of country music's top artists, including Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire, Josh Turner, and Keith Urban. Gander Mountain will donate $1 from every pair of shoes purchased to Soles4Souls, which is able to supply a pair of shoes to someone in need for every dollar that is donated.
"We are proud to be able to partner with Soles4Souls once again to help reach the goal of 500,000 pairs of shoes for those in need," said Steve Uline, Gander Mountain's executive vice president of marketing. "It is a great opportunity for Gander Mountain customers to help those less fortunate while getting a free download of some great music from Billy Gilman and other popular country artists."
Gilman, who has sold more than six million albums worldwide and garnered a wide range of awards, was in the process of writing material for his upcoming music project with two of his co-writers, Dan Murph and Philip Douglas, when the idea for The Choice was born. In a YouTube video, Soles4Souls challenged people from all across the country to start their own shoe drives in their communities and do something to benefit those living in adverse poverty and in need of footwear. Instead of setting up a collection bin on a crowded street, Gilman, Murph and Douglas got the idea to do what they do best--write a song. They agreed that every penny generated from the song, including the songwriters' and publishers' shares, would go to Soles4Souls. Within one week, the trio penned The Choice and pitched the idea to the charity organization.
"Great success and countless pairs of shoes donated have been the results of our past collaborative efforts with Gander Mountain, so it made perfect sense to work together once again, giving shoppers the opportunity to provide great footwear for themselves and for those less fortunate, while getting great music for free," said Kevin Goughary, CEO of Soles4Souls, which has donated more than 17 million pairs of shoes across 129 countries since its inception in 2004. "For every pair of shoes purchased at a Gander Mountain store, a life somewhere around the world will be changed with the gift of shoes. It doesn't get any sweeter than that."
The Choice was co-written by Gilman to bring attention to the world wide plight of children in desperate need of shoes. All of the proceeds from digital download of The Choice go directly to Soles4Souls. The song came to life through the contribution of the voices of Gilman and fellow country artists Rodney Atkins, Montgomery Gentry, Amy Grant, Steve Holy, Alan Jackson, Wynonna Judd, Richie McDonald, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Ronnie Milsap, Craig Morgan, Kellie Pickler, LeAnn Rimes, Diamond Rio, Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis, Josh Turner, and Keith Urban. The song is scheduled to be released on April 16, and every download will provide a pair of shoes to some child in need.
The Gander Mountain special offer runs through May 14.

A state park ranger is in jail after his arrested for sex offenses that allegedly happened in two counties.
Carteret County deputies say they have charged Michael Hagie with sexual activity by a substitute parent after a sexual assault that occurred at the family's second home in Morehead City this summer.
Hagie, who lives in Wake Forest, is park ranger at the Holly Point campground at Falls Lake State Recreation Area. The 38-year-old man was arrested last Friday by Wake County deputies on 15 charges of indecent liberties with a child and one count of statutory rape/sex offense. Authorities say those offenses happened in Wake County between March 2010 and June of this year involving two young girls.
Hagie was placed on investigatory leave with pay by the state park system and has been at Falls Lake since 1999. He's in the Wake County jail on a $800,000 bond.

text: Hi, I developed for my own research some (crude) audio backends to play sound on Linux. I thought it would be nice to have this capability built-in for scipy (something like sound/soundsc in matlab). Is this something which could be included in scipy ? For now, I have an alsa backend (for Linux), and a core audio backend (which would need some work to be published at all). I have been trying to port them on cython to learn a bit about cython (they were based on ctypes before, but we can't build ctypes extensions for inclusion in scipy). One problem for alsa is that you would need the (user-space) library headers to build it, so making it mandatory would mean one more dependency. Although ALSA is under the GPL/LGPL, I would guess it should not be a problem since it is the interface to linux audio kernel ? cheers, David

Colorado Springs police are no longer on accident alert status. During winter storms they go on cold accident alert so they can focus on serious crashes.
When they are on cold accident reporting, if you are involved in a crash and no one is hurt, you can exchange information and report it later. You can also delay reporting if drugs and alcohol are not suspected factors in the wreck.
Drivers can go to a police substation to pick up a traffic accident report, or can fill one out online at springs.gov.

Looks pretty sweet.
I am experimenting with a new style of map. This is my first sample. This is just a test map, and I am just trying some new styles with it.
Anyway, does this look like it will make a fairly attractive map?
Looks pretty sweet.

Your shadows are a bit intense. I'd probably prefer them to be about half as dark as they are now. But your rivers look awesome. Nice work.
Perhaps an outline to define the shore a little more. I like the mountains.

I like your style
If this is you trying out something new, you are a great mapper by any standard, it took me ages to make something that good!
Add more detailed textures and maybe tone down the shadows a bit and you have something very good indeed IMHO.
Interesting to see that you have made the same mistake I have made with my Greyhawk project..lol. If north is up that is.
Keep up the good work!
I was thinking the same thing about the shadows. I will back them down a bit.
Thanks for the compliment Anna. I love your work on the Greyhawk maps. Can't wait for them to be done!
I never even thought about the shadow direction! Thanks for pointing that out.
Looks very nice to me. I'd have to see it with less shadows to comment on that, right now, it has real gaming-feel to it.
Two in harmony surpass one in perfection
Also, I currently have the woodlands with a brighter green color, but I am thinking that I should go with a darker green and maybe have some texture to it?
I really like this. I would never argue with HR on maps. I don't like looking stupid.
For a "serious" modern map, I would definitely damp out the shadows and highlights a bit. Probably reduce saturations some too.
As it is, while perhaps less scientific in nature, it is strongly evocative. It gives a feel of the landscape. It makes me see the place, and I see a lot of exciting nooks for adventure.
You realize, of course, a tutorial is now required.

He has issues. He needs to straighten up and start being a father and treating you with respect. If he says he's going to change but continues time and time again to not change, then I would suggest not let him keep seeing you come back to him over and over because he knows you'll keep coming back even if he don't change. He'll always be in your life because you have a son together but one day you're going to get so fed up with his unchanging ways and behavior, that you're going to show him that he's just not good enough for you and you're a strong, independent woman and will not be easy to get, but rather you will be hard to get, in that case, he'll be more attracted to you. He's used to you always being there and doesn't see any reason to change. I would break this chain, instead of waiting on him to change, I would change. :)posted 11/23/2013 by babyborn2013

Booker T comments removed
While talking about the abilities of Adrian Neville, JBL stated that Owen Hart was a high flying but not anything like this. Innocently, Booker T added to that by stating that Hart did not defy gravity, which is a term used frequently for Neville. That drew the ire of fans, who immediate took to social media to bash Booker, who ended up issuing an apology. WWE decided to take it a step further by removing the comments on the replay of Monday Night Raw.

Mark's cruise has been happening every Monday night for nearly 20 years now but this year must have been a peak. Where on a Monday night can you expect to see a live band and up to 1000 cars gathered for a cruise. The scene is set on a huge grassy field for perfect car viewing and the show organizers do an outstanding job of managing the flow of parking into and out of the cruise. Plenty of fresh cooked food is offerred for sale barbeque style. This is by far the largest cruise in New England and may be one of the biggest Monday night events in the country.Check out the pictures here
It looks like having a September cruise was the right way to go to get Firebirds out of their nests and onto the road. This is a key event for the PVFA and we will certainly continue it for 2015.
There were approximately 50 Firebirds in attendance and classes were sponsored for first, second, third, and fourth gens in both stock and custom classes. This show probably generates more Fiero traffic than you will see anywhere else, except at perhaps a national Fiero show. Every era of Pontiac was well represented with some real high qulaity cars.
This show raises substantial sums for the Tommorow Fund and Alex's Lemonade Stand, two great charities benefitting kids. You can have great fun for a great cause at this top notch show. I am looking forward to 2016!
The Charter Oak Firebirds can really throw a party! On June 21rst members of the Pioneer Valley Firebirds cruised on down to the Panera Bread Cruise in Newington, CT for the extremely popular Saturday night show. Officially they counted 243 cars but cars were driving by and parking in the Walmart parking lot. It has been quite a few years since I have seen a GTO Judge parked in a normal parking lot but cars were everywhere and attendance was huge. The 60/40 raffle netted one lucky guest a whopping $415.
Bandit Rich came all the way from his home in Spencer, MA to join the cruise adding his Black and Gold Bandit to President John's bringing the total to four Bandit's at the show. That wasn't all, Art from 34 Motor Cars in Derby, CT brought his all original 1970 Trans Am (as in original paint and original decals!). I bought my 1980 Pace Car from Art and he is a valuable resource to the hobby in CT, bringing in Firebirds from all over and serving as a resource for hobbyists with restoration advice. You can check out Art's inventory at http://34motorco.com.
It was the first night of summer and the longest night of the year. This cruise had more Corvettes than GM and rarities in abundance. Eagle One supplied a host of raffle prizes to many lucky raffle winners. To see more pics from this cruise check out our page here.
The next cruise is Saturday, August 2nd and the Charter Oak Firebirds. Be there!
The 2014 Pioneer Valley GTO show held on Sunday, June 1 was a huge success. The show field was packed and attendance looked to be an all time high for this show, one of the most popular in Western Mass. In total 19 Firebirds participated for the Favorite Firebird trophy sponsored by the Pioneer Valley Firebird Association. All active members present voted for their favorite Firebird and in the end Pete , one of the PVFA's newest ,members won the trophy.
For Sunday Pete brought out a beautiful and rare 1969 Firebird 400 Convertible in triple black. If that wasn't enough it was equipped with the Ram Air III 400, one of only 57 so equipped. In all, 6 PVFA members were present for the vote and the competition was formibable with some real quality cars presents. Two mint Lucerne Blue 1970 Trans Am and a beautiful '73 in Bucaneeer Red were on hand for display only making the decision just a bit easier. Aside from those and a couple of other display only cars the field was full of beautiful first, second, and fourth gens and one rare third gen Formula.
The trophy was designed by our own club President (Grand Poo-Bah) John Kunasek who founded the club three years ago. The trophy is the one to have with a 1:18 scale 1972 Firebird mounted on a stained wooden base. With this years turnout we need to discuss the possibility of expanding the Firebird class next year. That will be an issue for the membership to decide in the near future.
Our next trophy will be awarded atr Mark's Cruise in East Granby, CT. We are hoping to get Firebird night scheduled for a Monday night in August when it will hopefully be cool and 'Bird friendly. Club members will be encouraged to attend to select the Firebird and owners that best represents the spirit of the Firebird hobby. Our record is 43 cars in attendance but our goal is over 50 Firebirds this year!
- FIREBIRD NIGHT AT MARK's CRUISE in East Granby, CT really bustled with life this year bringing in more than 900 cars on several occasions. Marks showed some real creativity in promoting their show this year with feature nights brining in huge volumes of cars.
- The Pioneer Valley GTO Association show in Agawam was a big one this year, filling their field to capacity. I never heard the numbers but it was easily the biggest one to date.
- The Panera Bread show in Newington, CT sponsored by our bretherin at the Charter Oak Firebirds packed them in as well, more than filling their parking lot.

This is Janeane Garofalo.
Look at that smug face. Just look at it! Sitting there. A sly smirk of someone that is nice and happy with themselves for what they've gotten away with. Self-loathing pretense while eating caviare and lamenting the plight of us little people. I can feel her pity from here. Bah!
This post is about something that has grown near and dear to me. I started to write it as a joke, but the more i've contemplated it over the weeks leading up to this, the more I think that, indeed, I really do hate Janeane Garofalo!
'Gasp! No, E. No! Not indierockers' underground comedic sweetheart! Not the dark Italian Catholic/athiest offbeat everywoman of the 90's from that fucking dogs and cats movie or whatever the fuck it was! No, she's so awesome and edgy!"
But I'm here to tell you, brothers and sisters, Janeane Garofalo is a lie! The whole woman! The whole shtick! REPENT!
When I was in high school, Janeane Garofalo was the whack-off fantasy of every indierock/grungy/post-punk/alternative boy (and some girls too) that wore Air Walks and those goddamn thick-rimmed glasses that hipsters wear (you KNOW the one's I'm talking about). Somber pseudo-intellectual boys that wore all black as they wrote poetry by candlelight in their dark maroon-walled rooms pined after this darling, short, up and down "weight problem"-having, devoutly feminist, brainy and witty, bookish, raven-haired beauty in all her multiple black band and hemp-tied wrist glory. And, come on, she had those glasses and wore dark red lipstick. She was the real deal, right?! She wasn't only sort of hot, she looked like she might actually go out with me, right?! Whack on whack off, Daniel-san!
But NO! NO, I say again! Don't you believe it! It's a bunch of nonsense! And I'll lay out in great detail EXACTLY why you too should hate this villainess! Hear my plea, world!
1. That Annoying "Not-Classically Beautiful" Bullshit Shtick
Ladies and gentlemen of the "who deserves our vexation" jury, I submit to you that in almost every appearance ever made by one Janeane Garofalo in any movie, stand-up routine, television series and probably even animated shorts I'm sure, she has continually,obnoxiously and without fail milked this nonsensical idea of her not truly being attractive in a world surrounded by obviously more classically beautiful people (i.e., others as more facially symmetrical, thinner, better proportioned, taller, better smelling, not a gila monster, etc).
I submit to you all that this continually abused and oft lodged claim is utter balderdash in the face of a mountain of evidence. As a clear demonstration of that evidence, I submit to you that she has been in a large amount of movies, television shows and stand-up comedy specials over the years, each time garnering praise for her quirkiness and yes, HER LOOKS! Let us be quite clear here: one does not get guest roles and, indeed, lead roles in major bankrolled Hollywood romantic-comedies over and over again by being unattractive, especially the kind of unattractive that the devil Miss Garofalo would have you believe she is and has been from the inception of her career. I mean that unattractive where you go to ask a woman to dance in a dim room only to realize that you're going to have to figure out how to explain to the woman, upon closer inspection of this newly found wildebeest , that you're just trying to get to the other side of the room.
No, ladies and gentleman, it is undeniable: Miss Garofalo has been attractive for the majority of her career. Her up and down weight issues have been the kind that only Hollywood would care about, at her worst looking like the girl you thought needed to put on a pound or two in college in order to be healthy. She has sat and explicitly modeled poses for major magazines that have done exposes and interviews on her (none of which were titled "How Did This Ugly Bitch Make It In This Business?"). She has been attractive enough to date multiple celebrity men in Hollywood, men that could easily get models and even some supermodels if they wanted. In fact, she is still considered attractive enough to be put on primetime network television and in major motion pictures to this day and she is now in her mid 40's.
But it is much worse than all that, I tell you. For it's not that she just milks this stupid shtick for a measly ironic laugh from boys that have one hand down their pants and girls that actually are unattractive but can pretend they look like her since she's saying she's unattractive too. No, it's that her shtick is an affront against unattractive and downright beastly people everywhere, especially women. In fact, in the feminist sense, her failure to acknowledge her attractiveness is an all out assault on feminist pedagogy, misleading women and, ironically, setting up unrealistic standards of unattractiveness. Janeane Garofalo is the anti-model infiltrator that tells unattractive women their plight is much worse than even they realized because they're not even that good-looking. I tell you now, it is nothing less than a slap in the face of all ugly people everywhere. If you're buying her nonsense, why not beg her, "Thank you, Mistress Garofalo! May I have another!"
2. That Bullshit Daria Act
To be fair, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I think Daria was likely based on JG more than the other way around as she predates the iconic cartoon female high school anti-hero by some years. However, that changes nothing of the basic souped up slacker act she's been peddling for years, almost milking it as much as the idea that she's not attractive. Almost! I knew a lot of slackers in high school and college that had the exact same rap while they were skateboarding and looking to score a sack while putting off studying for their English lit exam in 2 days. They hung out and talked shit about how everything sucked and how annoyed they were with everything all the time. But nobody much ever paid them any mind. You know why? Two reasons: they weren't attractive and they weren't movie stars.
Again, this is insidious as it leads unattractive women to act like douchebag girls from junior high that were really into the Cure and liked to smoke Camel Lights in hopes that they too will develop the razor-sharp whit and, by extension, attractiveness, and by extension further, love and adoration of people that the great deceiver Garofalo has cultivated in her cult-like following for years now. So, not only has she lied to you to get you to believe that she's just not attractive enough to not have developed a dysfunctional personality from all the years of rejection in a world surrounded by aphrodites, she's also advocated that annoying slacker routine to people that it really doesn't work for at all. For shame!
3. She's Filthy Fucking Rich!
You know what you get from making all those tv shows and romantic comedies? Yes, that's right: the right to be called attractive. But for this round of "Fucko Jeopardy," we were looking for "an assload of money!" There's just no other way to say it. She can go to her Manhattan skyline penthouse and lay on a bed pile of money she got from making one of a zillion well paid appearances in any number of media and just rub herself with two dollar bills because fuck George Washington. If she does happen to live in a less ritzier place like Brooklyn, you can be sure it's because she has that choice and is trying to live, at best, ironically, or at worst, with the "real" people where "real" life happens; you know, because you lesser people are just so darn interesting. It's much like if the guy on the middle bunk of the 3 person bunkbed in the halfway house wasn't interested in living in his summer home because he was trying to get to the essence of true suffering. It's supposed to sound all deep, but really it's like kicking a homeless person in the balls and telling them you really identify with their struggle. Again, a slap in the face of poor people everywhere.
And you probably already know where I'm about to go with this track. Because not only is she filthy rich; she's also attractive; movie star attractive. And she has adoring fans. And a publicist. And likely a stylist. And likely a masseuse. And late night phone calls from celebrities. And poor unattractive women are now acting like Daria, ensuring the little chance of having a guy treat them with any kind of respect will go right out the window and those women are NONE of those things! And never will be! Again, a huge lie! A HUGE slap in the face of women everywhere. The bar for unattractive is set even higher now. "But if only you weren't SO hideous that you couldn't even reach JG's meager unattractive status, you wouldn't have any financial problems either. No, ladies, you're truly fucked up!" Fight the power in that great feminist way, Devil Janeane!
4. She'd Be AWFUL To Be In a Relationship With
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I submit to you here and now that, regardless of the blisters on the penises caused by boys raging against the machine in their pants while watching Mystery Men in their parents' basement while having visions of holding hands and Valentine's candy with a full-cheeked smiling Garofalo batting goo goo eyes, there can be NO DOUBT that JG would be absolutely horrible to be in a relationship with in any romantic way. I submit this portion of the argument in lettered subsections:
a) Cutting Whit and Hidden Rage
There can be no doubt that the devil Garofalo has amazing powers of zingerness and ability to level devastating comedic assaults at someone, causing self-esteem walls to crumble in a matter of seconds. But, for one moment, let us take a walk down your own personal memory lane. Of the men, who here remembers being in a relationship with a woman? Good. Did you ever have an argument with her? Really? It was very uncomfortable wasn't it? Now imagine a rich, "edgy," Hollywood actress used to getting what she wants with a good vocabulary and an unapologetic willingness and talent to cut deeply into the myriad of problem traits you possess with comedic insults and looks of being utterly unimpressed.
"Look, JG, you can't treat me like this! This is not fair. I'm a human being."
"No no. You are so much more than a human being. I think the term Adonis is what the young ladies in cowboy hats and empty Coors Light bottle hand weights are throwing around the Coyote Ugly Bar when they see a man put away not two but 5 slices of pizza while wearing no shirt. Please, continue to learn me all that is righteous and true in your Herculean/Swarzaneggerean world of Pappa John's."
"Oh fuck you, Garofalo."
"A man of clear diction and literary flare as well. I am truly blessed. Shall I davit in your direction or get thee ass to a nunnery forthwith?"
"Whatever? An air of mystery surrounds you, fetching young buck. That will serve you well when you're sleeping on the park bench tonight instead of my nice condo. You can pretend you're in a mysterious spy thriller of the Cold War Era. Try telling people things in coded messages in the park at 2 in the morning. See if they take the secret package from you. I'll be at Dennis Leary's smoking pot with the other riffraff that aren't worthy of such a man of letters at yourself. I bid you adieu with a mighty 'go fuck your mother.'"
And that's before the pure rage kicks in. Because you know the whit does run out and the pure anger must shoot through her like a lava flow. The same smile that is like this; can have cheeks that go from so high to obviously so down like this.
You see the problem. Nobody needs that. And then it's all like, "Oh hell no. You are an imbecillic douchebag that is riding my coattails to Gravy Train Station, and it's time to disembark, motherfucker! Now out of my house before I stab you in the neck with my bizarrely framed portrait given to me by Ben Stiller! Out, Assface! Oh screw it. Die, you bastard!"
Did a chill run down your spine just then? I know it did mine.
b) The Sex Must Be Extraordinarily Awful
The Beast Garofalo presents herself as a feminist with a decent knowledge of feminist theory and an outspoken political stance. Combine that with a talent for cutting jibes and the kind of entitlement that highly paid Hollywood types are accustomed too and you've got yourself a recipe for a world of grief when playtime finally hits. First off, the witch Garofalo has openly spoken out against shaved nether regions and therefore, we can assume it is a veritable forest down there. She is also Italian (partly) and so it may well be a tropical forest down in "then jungle." But don't you dare say anything about it. In fact, if there is one thing you're not happy about, keep to your damn self! Because there is little doubt that sooner or later (probably sooner), you're going to hear this when you're completely naked with an erection in front of her; "Um, I don't know why you think that kind of sexual fantasy is okay to even mention to someone like me, but I assure you, if you'd like to peddle your dicklet and your woman-hating ways in some other forum, preferably Chris Hanson's, that may be the ONLY way you can find satisfaction, because if you suggest that or try that again with me, I will expedite you joining N.O.W. by cutting your stuff off. Understand? Great. Now turn out the lights and don't touch yourself again where I have to see it."
That's ONE scenario. But it could be the other way too, where she's a sexual beast in the sack. That might just be even worse though, ladies and gentlemen. Remember that rage thing? In the same vein, she may well let the wall of control and collectedness come down and let loose a fury of demon lust that looks more like the final scene from the Thing than any porno ever made; you know, that type of anger filled ride where you're not sure if she wants to fuck you as much as get you back for all the times she's gone unsatisfied in an over controlled life by violently rocking back and forth and making you say, "Ouch! Yes, that's…um, hot…um…Ouch….um…..ah, ew…Ow…No…please…stop. Help!" It would look like this.
OR she's one of those over controlled people that lets go and becomes emotional and starts crying and telling you how wonderful it all is while you try figure out how to tell her that it's great except for the fact that nothing's actually happened yet. And then you spend the rest of the time with someone crying and not actually having sex and expecting you tell her how meaningful this not exactly sex is to you. The point to all of this is that sexually, it just can't be any good no matter which way you turn.
5. Entitlement
Ultimately, entitlement is likely the thing that makes JG the most unpalatable in any arena. Make no mistake: again, she is an acclaimed attractive, Hollywood leading (sometimes) actress and comedienne with lots of money that has had years if not decades of people kissing her ass and catering to her like they do all stars. She knows not of the struggle of average Joe paying bills so his kids will shut the hell up or having to figure out if he needs to get front tires on his car instead of paying the cable bill this month. She does not know the meaning of waiting in long lines on a daily basis. She doesn't know people not wanting to talk to you and not caring if you live or die in front of them. She is entitled and that's par for the celebrity course. Normally, I wouldn't hold that against a celebrity; however, the demon Garofalo plies her trade on the image of being the anti-heroine of slacker valley, a misunderstood alternative chick that has struggled so much in life due to her less that stellar looks and mistreatment from the universe. It's much like that fucking supermodel that shows you her amazing senior picture from her high school yearbook and tells you what a dork and nerd she was when you just know she was #1 on the list when guys would play that favorite yearbook game "Oh I'd totally fuck that chick!" Another big ol slap in the face.
Ladies and gentlemen of this fine jury. The case is too clear. It is settled. Miss Garofalo did willingly and knowingly attempt to deceive us all with this obnoxious and nonsensical shtick about her not being attractive and having developed a Daria-like personality because of it. She has struck at the heart of young indierock boys and pseudo intellectuals everywhere based on false pretenses, the same general population that were so sure Wynona Rider would be the lay of the century if only she'd give them a chance. She hit at the very heart of the feminist movement she claims to support by setting an unrealistic bar for what is considered unattractive. While her comedic rants are funny from time to time, one can no longer ignore the mountain of evidence that it's all a lie!
Oh no, I say you've been had! Hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Run amok upon! We didn't land on Janeane Garofalo! Janeane Garofalo landed on us! And I for one will no longer turn a blind eye to this undeniable deceit any longer. Sensitive alternative boys, no longer must you flog the dolphin while imagining this woman is so charming and deep in only someone would give her a chance. They've been giving her taken-chances for years. She's rich. You still live in studio apartment in the shitty part of town. Wake up from the lie!
I'll say it here and I'll say it now and I'll say it proud: I hereby hate Janeane Garofalo!
