Leon Aron considers the "mystery of the Soviet collapse" and finds answers in the intellectual and moral self-scrutiny of glasnost that brought about a profound shift in values. Reviewing the entire output of the key glasnost outlets in 1987-1991, he elucidates and documents key themes in this national soul-searching and the "ultimate" questions that sparked moral awakening of a great nation: "Who are we? How do we live honorably? What is a dignified relationship between man and state? How do we atone for the moral breakdown of Stalinism?" Contributing both to the theory of revolutions and history of ideas, Aron presents a thorough and original narrative about new ideas' dissemination through the various media of the former Soviet Union. Aron shows how, reaching every corner of the nation, these ideas destroyed the moral foundation of the Soviet state, de-legitimized it and made its collapse inevitable.

I basically have a liter or 5yo Cooley Irish Whiskey. I have also purchased some Amontillado Sherry (Which is actually a mix of Palomino & Pedro Ximenez) to doctor the cask.
SO my question is this ..... how should I do it.....
Lob in all the sherry in and leave it for a while?
Put in a small bit and wait till it all soaks into the wood?
or what?
IainB wrote:
I'd put in the whole sherry. You may get a better sherry, and more importantly, you'll get an even "soakage". Also, the barrell needs to have a decen amount of liquid to be waterproof. This sounds strange I know but when you first get the barrell you have to fill it with hot water and leave it to swell you that it becomes fully waterproof. If it dries out it will contract and you may get leakage. For the same reason you need to rotate the barrell every one in a while.
When you do fill it put it on some sort of drip tray as you can get the odd drop leaking out at the start.

I think before doing anything you should read the full blog for a good idea of what he's tried already and the results.

Grapefruit Oil
Eating grapefruit in the morning really puts a zing in your step. That's why we put fresh grapefruit oil, grapefruit juice and grapefruit water in our products – they get us clean and snap us awake!
Our Tea Tree toner spray has a high content of grapefruit water. Its cleansing action improves skin tone and works wonders for acne-prone or oily skin types. Grapefruit oil is also found in our Happy Hippy Shower gel, Whoosh Shower Jelly and Sexy Peel soap. All of these soaps have fresh citrus fragrances, thanks to their grapefruit oil blends and were invented to use when you need a mental boost (like in the morning when you're sleepy and need a gentle nudge into alertness). Use one in the shower or tub, then moisturize with an Each Peach massage bar to maximize your grapefruit-iness!

|Vandal recruiting class No. 1 in WAC by Scout.com
Jason Gesser hasn't even been a Vandal for one year and he's already been recognized as the Scout/FOXSportsNext Recruiter of the Year for the Western Athletic Conference. His efforts – and those of newly appointed recruiting coordinator Torey Hunter, helped the Vandals lead the WAC with their class of 2012.
"His passion and his competitive drive make him a great recruiter," coach Robb Akey said of Gesser. "The ability of our entire staff to build strong relationships with our prospects enabled us to recruit the class ranked No. 1 in the WAC. I'm very proud of them for their commitment to this class and to the Vandals."
Akey also commended Hunter for his ability to step in and not only recruit student-athletes who are a great fit for the Vandals but to coordinate the entire recruiting effort.
"He really took over and handled the recruiting coordinator duties admirably," Akey said.
Scout.com gave Idaho's class the nod for the No. 1 group in the league followed by San Jose State, New Mexico State, Louisiana Tech, newcomer Texas State, Utah State and another newcomer, UT-San Antonio.
Idaho signed 23 players to National Letters of Intent last week. Included among those 23 are three players – running back James Baker, receiver Najee Lovett and offensive lineman Niklaus Von Rotz, who already are on campus.
The Vandals open spring drills March 22 and conclude with the annual Silver and Gold Game April 20.

A new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder could be a wake-up call for parents of toddlers: Daytime naps for your kids may be more important than you think.
The study shows toddlers between 2 and a half and 3 years old who miss only a single daily nap show more anxiety, less joy and interest and a poorer understanding of how to solve problems, said CU-Boulder Assistant Professor Monique LeBourgeois, who led the study. The results indicate insufficient sleep alters the facial expressions of toddlers — exciting events are responded to less positively and frustrating events are responded to more negatively, she said.
"Many young children today are not getting enough sleep, and for toddlers, daytime naps are one way of making sure their 'sleep tanks' are set to full each day," she said. "This study shows insufficient sleep in the form of missing a nap taxes the way toddlers express different feelings, and, over time, may shape their developing emotional brains and put them at risk for lifelong, mood-related problems."
LeBourgeois and her colleagues assessed the emotional expressions of healthy, nap-deprived toddlers one hour after their normal nap time, and tested them again on another day following their normal nap. The study, believed to be the first to look at the experimental effects of missing sleep on the emotional responses of young children, indicates the loss of a nap — in this case in just 90 minutes — may make toddlers unable to take full advantage of exciting and interesting experiences and to adapt to new frustrations, she said.
"Just like good nutrition, adequate sleep is a basic need that gives children the best chance of getting what is most important from the people and things they experience each day," said LeBourgeois of the integrative physiology department.
In the study, the toddlers' faces were videotaped while they performed "kid-friendly" picture puzzles, including those of farm animals, sea creatures and insects. One puzzle each child worked had all of the correct pieces, which gave him or her the opportunity to experience and express positive emotion, she said. A second puzzle had a "wrong" piece and therefore was frustrating to the toddlers in the study because it was unsolvable.
Facial expressions of the toddlers were coded on a second-by-second basis for emotions like joy, interest, excitement, sadness, anger, anxiety, disgust, shame and confusion.
The study showed nap-deprived toddlers completing the solvable puzzles had a 34 percent decrease in positive emotional responses compared to the same children completing similar puzzles after their usual midday naps. The study also showed a 31 percent increase in negative emotional responses of nap-deprived toddlers when they attempted to complete unsolvable puzzles when compared with puzzle-solving attempts after they had napped.
In addition, the study found a 39 percent decrease in the expression of "confusion" when nap-deprived toddlers attempted to put together unsolvable puzzles. "Confusion is not bad — it's a complex emotion showing a child knows something does not add up," said LeBourgeois. "When well-slept toddlers experience confusion, they are more likely to elicit help from others, which is a positive, adaptive response indicating they are cognitively engaged with their world."
A paper on the subject recently appeared online and will be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Sleep Research.

I'm trying to make a bot which travels from point A to B, and avoid obstacles on his way.
I did some research and came to the conclusion that behavior programming is the way to go.
So, the bot always moves forward unless it detects an object which his bumper (touch sensor) or ultrasonic sensor.
But the head has always to turn left - right - left - ... so it can see an object during the program. And when it detects something,
the tachoCount can see at what angle the object is so it can calculate the evasion.
And here's my question: How can I let the head turn left - right - ... continuously during the program execution, and let my program
execute the rest without writing in any block of code something like "rotate(720), rotate(-720)".
Here are two picture's of my bot so you can better imagine how it would work.
Thanks for reading! I hope anyone will answer my question.

Will, sorry for all the problems/stress that you had with getting the prototype completed and tested, but dang bro that is one sweet AR!!!!!! I'm an AK/Saiga guy, and I want one so bad now that I'm dreaming about it. That truly is one fine looking, and obviously running, carbine.
Haven't gone to look at your site yet to see what info is available, or if it's even available to the general public yet, but I'm sure it's out of my current price range. I'll have to sell off a few out of the collection first, I'm sure. I hope you sell a million of them though. Military contract would be awesome. I'm sure the boys in the sandbox could use a nice weapon like that. BIG difference from the old A1 that I carried back in '82.
Keep up the great work!

Big wheel, little weight.
Of all the wheel sizes out there, the one that probably benefits the most from carbon fiber construction is the 29er genus. Lowering rotational mass as much as possible on larger wheels can be a game changer on the trail. When SRAM purchased Zipp Speed Weaponry a few years back, it acquired the carbon rim technology needed to develop the high-tech Rise 60 29in Wheel.
It should be noted that Zipp, a longtime (20 plus years) composite component and wheel specialty manufacturing company, has been building carbon rims for road applications for some time now. This know-how is evident in the asymmetric shape and impact-protecting HS resin coating. The asymmetric shape allows SRAM to use near-equal length spokes, creating a stronger complete structure. The rim's layers and 3K weave are enhanced to provide strength where the nipples place the most stress to ensure reliability.
The Rise 60 uses bladed, stainless steel Sapim CX-Ray spokes because they're strong, aerodynamic, and only weigh a touch more than titanium ones. SRAM uses two-cross lacing with 24 spokes per wheel. This reduced spoke count reduces weight, and the cross-lacing ensures optimal stiffness to resist wheel deflection. The straight pull design eliminates stress-prone bends to which traditional, j-bend spokes are subject.
The hub shell and freehub body are made of lightweight, 6000 series aluminum with sealed cartridge bearings for maximum performance and minimum maintenance. The rear hub uses four bearings and it has an aluminum freehub body to keep weight low. A 54-tooth drive ring gives just under seven degrees of engagement, while three pawls with a saw-tooth profile offer nine points of purchase to give the Rise 60s instant and positive engagement when you stomp on the pedals.
The SRAM Rise 60 29in Wheel is intended for cross-country race and marathon use. While they're not tubeless ready, they are compatible with tubeless conversion kits such as Stan's No Tubes. They're available with standard quick releases or with 15QR front and 12x142mm rear. They are compatible with six-bolt rotors and Shimano or SRAM cassettes.

Sram Rise 60
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I like these wheels a lot! i ride a fully ridge 29er and have no issues with them other then they are slightly heavy. my free hub body doesn't fall off and never has but i was aware of the issue when i purchased them(maybe luck). These are my first set of carbon wheels and they have preformed very well in every area from climbing to descending and just eat really rough single track. to be honest i forget their there. they just feel like a extension of the bike if you know what mean.
Not for everyone. internal rim width is narrow at best and is not suitable for enduro or DH. but if you read the product description you would understand this.
Terrible design and worse support
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The wheels are relatively light and stiff, but as the other reviewer stated, the freehub and cassette literally fall off EVERY TIME you take the wheel off the bike. The first time I rode the bike, as luck would have it, I blew a sidewall on the Racing Ralphs it came with (so much for light weight XC tires for a daily rig in rocky New England). As I was putting the tube in, the freehub falls off into the leaves and dirt face down, ruining the grease. I cleaned it up, bewildered, put it back on and it happened again. This time, a pawl fell out too! They were disintegrating on the trail just from changing a damn flat! Luckily I found it, but every time I got the damn cassette back on and tried to mount the tire in the bike, the freehub would slide off again. It took me 30mins to change a flat. So incredibly lame. My riding buddies were sitting there annoyed and I had a poor impression of my new bike, all because they cant figure out how to secure the caps correctly.
My local bike ship is awesome and they offered to call SRAM for me to see how to fix it. The fix? "Put super heavy duty boat grease in there to make it sticky. That should do it."
You know what else super thick boat grease is good for? Slowing down your $2000+ carbon wheel freehub. Ridiculous.
They have even redesigned the wheel, but instead of taking care of their customers they pretend this was "by design". No matter what they do, they have made it clear where they stand on customer service. Does not sit well at all with me. STEAR CLEAR.
These are the worst wheels ever!
Stay away from these at all costs. The machining on the real axle is off which causes the free hub body to simply slide off with no effort. Putting the free hub body back on with the cassette still mounted is nearly impossible. Now imagine you're on the trail and you get a flat. Once you remove the tire, you risk the free hub body sliding out and all of the little parts that go along with it. I've never experienced this issue with any other wheelset I own. The only way to keep the free hub body on is to leave the wheels on the bike! This is completely unacceptable!

Lol that was pretty hilarious, especially Melo with his ****ing headband.
I still think Amar'e should have punched the **** out of Lebron though.....maybe he could have fixed Lebitch's hairline too in the process
lol, that was probably the funniest GiF I've seen here in a while...

A nn Elizabeth decided to keep a family tradition when she opened the Ann Elizabeth Custom Graphic Design & Printing Studio. "My father owns a graphic design and printing company so I've always felt comfortable around printing presses," she says.
Ann Elizabeth's studio delivers everything from letterhead, envelopes and business cards to more involved brochures and presentation packages. Aside from high-quality work, what sets the studio apart is the personal nature of the customer service.
"Every client knows me by name," Ann says. The studio also offers specially priced design work to suit every project. "Our side-by-side design program allows clients to pay for 30 minutes at a time-so they can pre-determine their budget," Ann says.
New innovations in the printing industry have helped put once-out-of-reach printing techniques and quality in the price range of the retail customer. "Digital printing is fast, efficient and great for low quantity projects," Ann says. "It has revolutionized the low -quantity print market.
When you work with Ann's team, you get a caring, local face and high-level of service. "Sure, you can order printing from the internet, but why would you when you can actually have a press shop that cares about you and your business?"

Dubbed "the female Elvis," Virginia native Janis Martin's sobriquet alone fostered great expectations for the young performer in the 1950s. As the fusion of R&B and country evolved into rockabilly, and a charge of primarily male artists heralded its arrival, she was a rarity – though her musicianship, charismatic stage persona and a series of memorable recordings meant the annals of history would not dismiss her as a novelty.
A precocious performer reared in a family of musicians, Martin's earliest experiences singing and playing guitar came before she reached her teens. Although initially drawn to country music, Martin's exposure to R&B in the Fifties proved captivating, and the resulting genre-blending sound she cultivated was enough to pique the interest of RCA/Victor, who signed her when she was 15 years old. "Victor, having taken the gamble with Presley and emerged a winner, has now come up with the 'Female Elvis Presley.' This lass is Janis Martin, and her first disk, 'Will You, Willyum' is already getting sales action in all fields," noted the May 12, 1956 issue of Billboard. From roughly 1956 through 1960, Martin recorded and released numerous cuts – from the suitably rocking original "Drugstore Rock and Roll" to the ballad "Cry Guitar" to the pop-orientated "Squeeze Me," co-credited to Duke Ellington. In the ensuing decades, Martin was mostly absent from the music industry, but the spirit of her recordings continued to find new audiences and inspire artists, such as rockabilly and country star Rosie Flores (pictured below).
Flores' 1995 album Rockabilly Filly garnered considerable attention, and her duets with Wanda Jackson and Martin helped introduce those pioneering females to a wider audience. In 2007, Martin and Flores teamed with Bobby Trimble to produce 11 new songs. Sadly, Martin passed away that September. Five years later, the album is finally slated for release.
Flores will bring the legacy of Janis Martin's songs and stories to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on Wednesday, January 25 for a special appearance that will include live performances by Flores and vocalist Marti Brom, backed by T Jarrod Bonta on keys, Bobby Trimble on drums, Kevin Smith on bass and Tjarko Jeen on guitars. Flores and Brom will use song, videos and photographs to guide a rousing telling of the Janis Martin story, and it will be live streamed on rockhall.com.

Once in awhile you find a candy that branches outside of itself. Hershey's Kisses is a good example, as there have been multiple types of Hershey Kisses candies besides classic Kisses. It's a candy that evolved into something different. Another good example is Lifesavers, which was originally hard candies then branched into gummis. That is what today's review is about. I found these Mike & Ike Fruit Twists and saw that this brand too was trying to transform into something else. This time, it's from jelly beans to licorice twists.
I found two different flavors, the green package is Blue Raspberry with Strawberry Fruit Flavored Twist". The orange package is "Green Apple with Watermelon Fruit Flavored Filled Twist". The packages are long and thin, like the ones you see for NERDS Ropes. I am really curious as to what these look like.
Opening the Green Apple package first, they really do look like a jumbo licorice twist with a colorful filling. The Green Apple is a apple green color (fancy that) and the filling is a peach color. It smells sweet with no real indication of what the flavor might be like. The Blue Raspberry is a deep cerulean blue color wit a bright color pink filling. This one does have an aroma and it smells like sweet berries with a hint of sour.
Green Apple/Watermelon: The flavor starts off sweet and perfumy and delightfully of melon. Seems like the flavor of the filling comes through first! The watermelon flavor is really nice. It's sweet and really does have authentic hints of watermelon and honeydew. The green apple chew exterior is very chewy, much like a licorice twist would. The flavor is indeed sour apple with notes of peach, pear and pineapple. You do get a little taste of sour in there, but overall the flavor is very muted compared to the cream filling.
Blue Raspberry/Strawberry: Unlike the other flavor, this one you really taste the Blue Raspberry twist and the filling right away. The strawberry filling is sweet and has good notes of berries and jam. I taste a sourness in the middle of strawberry flavor, which I always find odd since strawberries aren't supposed to be sour. The blue raspberry has very nice juicy flavors of berries, but oddly isn't sour at all. Together the two flavors work well and makes for a flavorful and interesting chew.
These twists were certainly interesting, but they're really not my thing. I enjoyed the novelty of having the flavors of one candy in the form of another, but for me the appreciation doesn't go beyond that. In the future when I want Mike & Ike flavor,s I'll go for the original candy and not the twists. However, if you're a big fan of licorice twists, I recommend you give these a try. They might not excite me much, but I did find them more flavorful than say, Twizzlers. That alone earns them some merit in my book.

An Elkton man was arrested after police said he stole an elderly woman's car and assaulted her in the Fox Run Shopping Center in Bear Nov. 9.
Police said that Kenneth A Harrington, 41, followed the 76-year-old woman from the Laundromat at 7:30 a.m. as she carried a basket of clean clothing to her car.
As the victim approached her car, Harrington grabbed the keys from her hand, pushed her to the crowd, entered her car and drove out of the shopping center onto U.S. Route 40.
The victim was slightly injured during the assault, but refused treatment on the scene, police said.
Police said that Harrington drove eastbound on Route 40
after leaving the shopping center located at 1968 Pulaski Hwy.
Within seven minutes of the 911 call being made, Harrington was pulled over by a Delaware State Trooper in front of Honda East Motor Sports.
Police found a switchblade in Harrington's pants when they took him into custody.
Harrington was taken to Troop 2 and charged with carjacking, assault, and possession of a deadly weapon.
He was arraigned and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institute on a $135,000 secured bond.
The stolen car was returned to the 76-year-old woman.

This is truly a sad ending to a long and drawn out public downward spiral. One time pop sensation Whitney Houston has been found dead at the Beverly Hilton Hotel by her bodyguard this afternoon, state Beverly Hills Police.
Last photo of the troubled singer, taken this past Thursday as she exited Tru night club in Hollywood, depict her looking like a ripe mess albeit alive.
Although the world knew that the one time voice which belted out of the Clive Davis creation was gone and nothing but a memory, her expected return to the big screen in "Sparkle," opposite Jordan Sparks and Mike Epps, was highly anticipated.
Ironically the upcoming film deals with fame and drugs.
The loss of Whitney Houston comes on the tail end of her fans having already mourned the loss of one of the greatest and most impactful voices of our time.
Her recordings will stand tantamount to her one-time vocal prowess and her life will be a cautionary tale of the hazards of uncontrolled drug use.
RIP Whitney.
We will leave y'all to mourn in your own fashion and share these two videos, showing two very different Whitney.

Have a question for Elementary & Special Education? Contact us.
Dr. Christine A. Hunt, Chair email@example.com
(716) 375-2315
Plassmann Hall Room B12
St. Bonaventure University
St. Bonaventure, NY 14778
The undergraduate major in elementary education is designed to help students develop knowledge and skills necessary for effective teaching in today's elementary schools.
Students are prepared for the teaching profession in a way that is reflective of Franciscan service to others - an ideal that is central to the mission of St. Bonaventure University.
Students choosing to major in Elementary and Children with Disabilities (Special Education) prepare for New York teacher certification in Childhood Education (grades 1–6) with dual certification in Children with Disabilities (grades 1-6). Graduates from our programs can be found in school districts all over the country, and should you want to teach outside of New York, our Certification Office will give you advice about obtaining certificates in other states.
We believe that teachers are best prepared when they learn how to teach in real classrooms. Thus, our program involves students in extensive field experiences beginning in freshman year. While you develop knowledge about teaching, you will spend a significant amount of time interning and teaching in actual classrooms. You will work in a wide variety of classroom settings and at many different grades levels.
Every child has unique gifts and needs, and classroom teachers are best prepared when they are ready to meet the learning and developmental needs of all children. By the end of your 4-year program, you will be ready for your own classroom where you will be able to construct learning opportunities supportive of the intellectual, social, emotional and physical needs of a diverse student population. SBU students with dual Elementary & Children with Disabilities (Special Education) certification are uniquely prepared for the challenges of today's classrooms.
Within a curriculum focusing on developmental learning theories, pedagogy, principles of classroom management, and sound educational research, SBU education majors are encouraged to be active participants as they create their own knowledge and develop as teachers.
For the two semesters before student teaching, you will be involved in a Professional Development School program where you and about 15 other SBU students (along with two faculty members) spend two days a week at a local elementary school. During those two semesters, you will develop the skills needed to create supportive learning environments for children. You will become a caring, professional educator.
Parents of 2014 graduates praise preparation, cost-effectiveness of a St. Bonaventure Education:
And put what you learn to work.

April 16, 2012
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55, made applicable to adversaryproceedings by Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7055, defaultencompasses two steps: (1) Entry of Default and (2) Default Judgment.1
STEP ONE: Entry of Default
Local Rule 5075.1 authorizes the bankruptcy clerk to sign and enter defaultin adversary proceedings. Entry of default is a procedural formality, and aprerequisite to the issuance of a default judgment.2 The party requesting anEntry of Default should file a "Motion for Entry of Default by the Clerk" withan affidavit, or other unsworn declaration made under penalty of perjury(e.g.,under 28 U.S.C. § 1746), attached. That Affidavit or Declaration shouldset forth the following facts:
Date of service of the complaint;
Date of issuance of the summons;
Date of filing of an affidavit of service;
Date a responsive pleading was due by virtue of Fed. R. Bankr. P.
7012 or any order of the Court;
Statement that no answer or motion has been received by thedate set by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7012 or an order of the Court;
Statement that the party against whom default is requested isnot a minor or incompetent person, as required by Fed. R. Civ. P.
55(b)(1); and
Statement, pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, "(A)
stating whether or not the defendant is in the military service
and showing necessary facts to support the affidavit; or (B) if theplaintiff is unable to determine whether or not the defendant is inthe military service, stating that the plaintiff is unable todetermine whether or not the defendant is in the military
1 10 James Wm. Moore et al., Moore's Federal Practice § 55.10[1] (3d ed. 2001).
2 Id.; see also Garrett v. Seymour, 217 Fed. App'x 835, 838 (10th Cir. 2007) ("[T]heclerk had not entered default under Rule 55(a), a prerequisite for the entry of a defaultjudgment under Rule 55(b)(1).").
service,"3 and why plaintiff is unable to so determine. In otherwords, what good faith effort have you made to determinemilitary status?4
A sample "Motion for Entry of Default by the Clerk" with attached supportingDeclaration is appended to these Guidelines as Attachment A.
STEP TWO: Default Judgment
The party seeking a default judgment should file a "Motion for DefaultJudgment" that sets forth that the party seeking default judgment is entitledto the relief sought based upon a proper showing of each element of eachclaim.5
No notice of the Motion for Default Judgment must be provided to thedefaulting Defendant unless the party has appeared personally or by arepresentative (and then did not file an answer or other responsive pleading).
If an appearance has been entered, you must serve a copy of the motion atleast 7 days before any hearing, as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b)(2).
Accordingly, the Motion for Default Judgment need not be "noticed" unlessthere has been an appearance. If there has been an appearance, the Courtwill wait the requisite 21 days for response to the dispositive motion,
pursuant to D. Kan. Rule 6.1(d)(2).
3 50 U.S.C. app. § 521 (emphasis added).
4 A party can request information from the Department of Defense ("DOD") todetermine whether a person is in the military, and the DOD must issue a statement as tomilitary service. 50 U.S.C. app. § 582(b). Verification can be made electronically throughthe Defense Manpower Data Center ("DMDC"). The DMDC's web site is located athttps://www.dmdc.osd.mil/scra/ows/home, and additional contact information is as follows:
Defense Manpower Data Center, Attn: Military Verification, 1600 Wilson Boulevard, Suite400, Arlington, VA 22209-2593, Telephone (703) 696-6762, Fax (703)696-4156.
5 See Bixler v. Foster, 596 F.3d 751, 762 (10th Cir. 2010) ("Even if an entry of defaulthad been appropriate, it would not have been sufficient to entitle plaintiffs to a judgment . .
. Once default is entered, it remains for the court to consider whether the unchallengedfacts constitute a legitimate cause of action, since a party in default does not admit mereconclusions of law. There must be a sufficient basis in the pleadings for the judgmententered." (internal quotations and citations omitted)).
The Court will determine whether or not judgment should be entered andmay set the matter for hearing in order to make such determination.6 If, in
order to enable the Court to enter judgment, it is necessary to "conduct anaccounting," "determine the amount of damages," "establish the truth of anyallegation by evidence," or "investigate any other matter," the Court mayconduct such hearings or order such referrals as it deems necessary and
In very limited circumstances, default judgment may be entered by the Clerkunder Rule 55(b)(1), but only if the complaint seeks a "sum certain or a sumthat can be made certain by computation" and the plaintiff files a request forentry of default judgment with an affidavit or declaration of the amount due.8
However, in all other circumstances, Rule 55(b)(2) requires that defaultjudgment be entered by the Court. For instance, when a party against whomdefault is requested has served an answer or motion and then fails to appearat a court hearing, when relief other than money damages is requested, orwhen evidence is required to establish elements of claims or damages, defaultjudgment, if appropriate, must be entered by the Court.
A form "Motion for Default Judgment" is appended to these Guidelines asAttachment B. A form proposed order titled "Default Judgment" is appendedto these Guidelines as Attachment C.
6 The Court may require an actual evidentiary hearing when a party seeks a defaultjudgment on allegations of fraudulent intent. See, e.g., AT&T Universal Card Servs., Corp.
v. Sziel (In re Sziel), 206 B.R. 490, 495 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1997) (expressing the court'sreluctance to "rubber stamp" default judgment motions when allegations of fraudulentintent are conclusory). Even if the party against whom default is requested fails to appearat such hearing, the movant must present evidence of fraud and the requisite intent. See,
e.g., FCC Nat'l Bank v. Roberts (In re Roberts), 193 B.R. 828, 831–32 (Bankr. W.D. Mich.
1996) (credit card company denied default judgment because it failed to produce evidence ofdebtor's intent to defraud).
7 Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b).
8 This "sum certain" requirement "means that the claim itself must be liquidated orfor a fixed and indisputable amount, even if some calculation is needed to determine thatamount." 10 James Wm. Moore et al., Moore's Federal Practice § 55.20[2] (3d ed. 2001). Aclaim for a specific amount does not necessarily make the sum certain. World Alliance
Consulting, Inc. v. DocPlanet.com, Inc., 57 Fed. App'x 390, 392 (10th Cir. 2003).

We were saddened to learn about the passing of the "Creole Beethoven," Wardell Quezergue, yesterday in New Orleans. Quezergue, 81, was one of the giants of New Orleans music – one of those folks who is responsible for so many great, funky records that define the city's distinctive rhythm and blues. He arranged countless classics: Professor Longhair's "Big Chief," The Dixie Cups' "Iko Iko," King Floyd's "Groove Me," Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff," and Dorothy Moore's "Misty Blue," to name just a few. In 1992, he did the arrangements for Dr. John's "little history of New Orleans music," Goin' Back to New Orleans. He also co-wrote "It Ain't My Fault," a staple of New Orleans' brass bands. In 2000, he released the extraordinary A Creole Mass, a "prayer of Thanksgiving" that he began writing while stationed in Korea. He had been pulled from the front line to work as an arranger for the army band. His replacement was killed in action. He finally completed the work, a masterpiece for orchestra, chorus, brass band and vocals.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Education Director Jason Hanley and I had the honor of meeting Wardell during our preparations for last year's American Music Masters tribute to Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew. We hosted a panel at the International Association for the Study of Popular Music that featured Wardell, Harold Batiste and Dr. Ike of the Ponderosa Stomp. Wardell was a gracious, funny and wise man. We made that connection through Dr. Ike, who staged a major tribute to Wardell at the Ponderosa Stomp Lincoln Center in 2009. It's fitting that we will all gather in New Orleans next week for the 10th annual Ponderosa Stomp. Honoring the unsung heroes like Wardell Quezergue is what the festival is all about. [Pictured above: Standing (l-r): Dr. Ira Padnos AKA Dr. Ike, Dr. Lauren Onkey, Dr. Jason Hanley; seated (l-r): Harold Battiste Jr., Wardell Quezergue at 2010 International Association for the Study of Popular Music conference in New Orleans.] Visit the Ponderosa Stomp website to learn more about Wardell Quezergue.

Your skin may be whiter than the snow, but that doesn't mean you should go without a glow. Winter is the perfect time to bust out that Elvis Cadillac shade of pink for a blushing look that's bright and natural.
But the wrong application can make your face look disproportionate. Not to worry, though; Utah makeup artist Kristen Packard has found a complimentary technique to flatter each and every face shape.
So put away that bronzer (it's January, people!), and take a look at the best ways to blush your way to a thinner-looking mug.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 28 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Annie LOVE THIS CHAIR! I just had Bunco last night and everyone wanted to stay at the table with these chairs! They are super comfy and easy and just what we wanted in a dining room chair - somewhere to linger after the meal and be totally comfortable. They are light-weight and easy to move. We got the red but got the espresso in the countertop stools and both are great. LOVE THIS CHAIR! March 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mrs. Smith Wonderful chairs! These chairs are really beautiful, and are so comfortable that folks can sit around the table for hours and hours. These chairs are firm but soft, and offer great lower back support. They are beautiful, and look great in any corner - they will be awesome when extra people show up! October 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ellie Were already put together at store! Chairs are very comfortable and were already put together! September 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Y Great chair! I bought a pair of Sophia chairs in aqua/light blue.They were a great bargain for [$] a pair! They are modern looking but look great with my antiques. I was very pleased with how comfortable they are and how stylish they look. September 2, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by F V Mac VERY COMFORTABLE I sat in the store and fell in love with it...I'm still trying to get two more or four more for extra guests... June 29, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Budget Queen I fall in love I sat in one of the chairs at the store, and man I went through great measures to get my chairs but I do not regret it one bit! They are so sturdy and the red is stunning. Buy it, you won't regret it. I myself plan on purchasing two more, they might seem a little bit expensive but very worth it. May 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ev One word to Describe It - Aaaah! I recently "test drove" this chair in the store. Once I sat in it, I slumped down and said "Aaaah!" I wish it were a recliner because it was that comfortable. I will be getting these after I move into my new place. All the colors were pretty, but I naturally gravitate toward green, and the red was stunning! April 9, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Georgie Liked it so much bought 2 more! I saw the chair on your websight and immediately loved it. Its hard to tell exactly what they would look like in person, but I read the reviews and thought..why not! Then they went on sale and I ordered. [...]they were of excellent quality and construction. The color was perfect and are very comfortable. In fact my hard to please family loved them as well,so much so I had to order 2 more before the sale was over. January 19, 2011

Neri Oxman combines breakthroughs in materials science (such as 3D printing) with design principles found in nature. Imagine a skyscraper made with concrete that can breathe and grow and "think," or a chair that moves with your body. Buoyed by boundless enthusiasm, Oxman's talks are ostensibly about what is possible when you mix art and science; but really they're about possibility itself.
Welcome to the world of Neri Oxman, an award-winning designer who looks to nature for practical design solutions. In jaw-dropping discussions of her work, Oxman opens a vista onto a lush, wondrous, and sustainable future within reach—one where technology and nature live in harmony. Featured on the cover of Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business issue (2009), Oxman transcends the boundaries between art, science and environmentalism.
Neri Oxman is the Sony Corporation Career Development Professor, Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences, and Research Group Director at the MIT Media Lab, where she directs the Mediated Matter research group. Her group explores how digital design, engineering, material science, artistic forms, and ecology can combine to radically transform the design and construction of everyday objects, buildings, and systems. Oxman's goal is to enhance the relationship between the built and the natural environment by employing design principles inspired by nature and implementing them in the invention of digital design technologies.

Short post this morning as it's just a bit quite. This is what happens as we shift into season mode – aside from cuts and some injuries, not much going on. Next week the Blurb will me more strategy than info as we also shift into season mode.
Also a reminder that The Thundering Blurb Fantasy Football Podcast airs live tonight on BlogTalkRadio.com at 9pm EST/6pm PST. You can get on the air by calling (718) 506-1722.
On to the news -
Cleveland Browns
Derek Anderson's concussion was termed mild and he should be ready for week 1 – so don't worry about Edwards, Winslow and the rest of the Cleveland offense. We'll see a lot of Brady Quinn over the next few preseason games and the Browns will be able to judge – at least in part – what Quinn might mean for their future. If he plays well enough, you'll hear some murmurs about him starting but the Browns could challenge for the AFC North title, so it won't happen. Kick Returner Joshua Cribbs has a high ankle sprain and that's a worse piece of news. That can linger and will upset the Cleveland Special Teams, and their value, if he isn't 100%.
Buffalo Bills
Trent Edwards was injured during Tuesday's practice – a deep quad contusion according to HC Dick Jauron. Like with Anderson, this will probably keep Edwards out of a preseason game or two but is unlikely to affect his Week 1 status. There have been a few people who have wondered whether or not JP Losman might be a better fit (again) but the question has been answered already and barring a big injury, the Bills will start Edwards.
Arizona Cardinals
Rookie Tim Hightower has moved to the #2 spot on the depth chart in Arizona. Not surprising given how awful JJ Arrington and the departed Marcel Shipp have been the last two years. He won't eat into Edge's value much although he might get some short yardage looks. He's Edge's handcuff if you follow that strategy and is a good person to have on your Dynasty bench, Edge or not. Another rookie not faring as well would be WR Early Doucet. Doucet was back in practice Tuesday after a hamstring injury knocked him out for a while. He needs a big couple of preseason games to pass Steve Breaston for the #3 spot on the Cards. A few rookies have exploded on rosters this preseason, so he could do it – but as always I warn against counting on rookies – especially rookie WRs – for much.
Cincinnati Bengals
So Chris Henry is back after Marvin Lewis said 'never again' – which can't make him (Lewis) all that happy. Before you get all excited, Henry is serving a suspension for the first 4 games. Some are reading it into Chad Johnson's injury (so much that he dropped about 4 rounds in the Fantasy Sportswriters Assoc Draft last night) but I read it more as concern that the rookie they have won't be able to step up if Johnson and Houshmandzedah have problems. That sounds like the same but it isn't – I don't know that either Housh or Ocho Cinco are hurt badly so much as the rookies have been unspectacular in camp, although each has had a good preseason game.
Miami Dolphins
This is probably just encouragement, but according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel HC Tony Sparano has not ruled out rookie Chad Henne being named the starter. I don't know I buy that but it could mean Pennington is having issues picking up the offense. It could also just be Sparano's way of saying 'Nice job, rookie' as Henne has impressed during Trainging Camp. It would suck if – in the unlikely event Henne was the starter Week 1 – Pennington moved teams only to get stuck as a back-up again. Let me be clear though – I don't think that will happen. The team is reportedly also looking for a 4th round pick for John Beck.
Yeah – good luck with that.
Chicago Bears
Running Back Kevin Jones gets some preseason action on Thursday against the 49rs. He's fighting to back-up Matt Forte but Jones could get significant carries by the middle of the season – he's got ability, it's his health that seems to get in the way. Forte is still a rookie and will burn out at some point as most do. Expect the Bears to keep him fresh with Jones if Jones is available. Forte is still the guy to grab first, if you find him at a godo value.
San Diego Chargers
In other brief news, Antonio Gates is cleared to practice and might be looking good for Week 1. You probably won't see him in the next two preseason games – if a healthy LT isn't playing, why risk a healing Gates? – but assuming he isn't set-back in practice, he could start Week 1, which is both good for your Fantasy Team and the Chargers' chances at starting strong, something they need to do in the AFC this year.
That's all for now – remember the show tonight. Among other things, we'll be talking some Offesnive lines to watch and some to avoid, talking about the BloTalkRadio Fantasy Football Podcaster league draft I will be doing at the same time and the fact that I am a mere 30 odd hours from Vegas.
Good times.

Miami Dolphins' put their own free agents on ice
The Miami Dolphins are trying to ball on a budget this offseason.
I've already shown you the cap numbers before franchise tags were handed out this week. Miami's pockets are TIGHT compared to the competition.
That's why the franchise will likely expose nose tackle Paul Soliai and defensive end Kendall Langford to free agency on March 13 because they have been paralyzed by the pursuit of a quarterback upgrade.
That means Miami could let many of their own free agents sign elsewhere as General Manager Jeff Ireland holds tight waiting on Peyton Manning and Matt Flynn.
Here's a breakdown of the Dolphins' 2012 free agents heading into next Tuesday's 4 p.m. start to free agency.
Restricted Free Agents
Tailback Lex Hilliard - Hilliard is a versatile one cut runner, who also can play fullback. Ireland's a fan of his work, but that won't guarantee him a spot on the 53-man roster. He'll also have competition from CFL standout Jerome Messam.
Offensive tackle Lydon Murtha – He's viewed as a possible replacement for Marc Colombo at right tackle, so expect the Dolphins to make retaining Murtha, who played well as the starting left tackle in the exhibition season, a priority. Miami will have the opportunity to match any offer.
Defensive lineman Ryan Baker – The player Tony Sparano once labeled "The Amoeba" because of his ability to fit and do anywhere didn't find work when the Dolphins released him last year. Hard to imagine he won't return for another minimum contract. The next coaching staff will probably take a liking to him because of his worth ethic.
Defensive end Phillip Merling – The 32nd pick in the 2008 draft has been a big disappointment so far considering he's only contributed 66 tackles and 3.5 sacks in four years. Merling is a restricted free agent because he missed most of last season with his Achilles injury. The Dolphins MIGHT let him sign elsewhere, but there's a chance he could blossom in a 4-3 scheme.
Unrestricted Free Agents
Quarterback Chad Henne: He'll easily find a role as a backup, but his starter days are probably over unless he shines in camp, or someone gets injured. But all this talk about Henne getting a contract worth $4 million a season is hogwash.
Quarterback J.P. Losman: For the past three season's he's had trouble finding work, and it is hard to envision Losman as anything but an aged No. 3 in the NFL moving forward. Miami will likely go younger and cheaper.
Tailback Steve Slaton: He's no longer the quick and elusive tailback he was earlier in his career with the Texans. It would benefit Slaton to get in better shape this offseason.
Offensive lineman Vernon Carey: Still a solid starter based on his production as a tackle in 2010, and a guard in 2011. But it appears the Dolphins would prefer a younger and more athletic starter. However, the door on his return hasn't been closed considering Carey could start at two spots, and is a lifelong Miami native. But he'll draw interest from other teams.
Offensive tackle Marc Colombo: He struggled mightily as a pass protector for the second straight season, a year after Dallas dumped him, so he'll likely be forced into retirement.
Defensive end Kendall Langford: This four-year starter's production was limited last season because his role was limited. Langford was taken off the field on most passing downs more than in previous seasons. Despite having a limited role he led the Dolphins defensive lineman in quarterback pressures, beating out Randy Starks. He'll fit a 3-4 scheme as an end, or a 4-3 scheme as a tackle and should command a salary that pays him $3-4 million a season.
Nose tackle Paul Soliai: He'll command a contract that pays him between $40-50 million because of his ability to clog up running lanes, and the fact nose tackles are the second hardest position to find in football. Not placing the franchise tag on Soliai virtually guarantees he'll signing elsewhere. But there is talk Soliai might take a team-friendly deal to stay in South Florida if the Dolphins are interested, and make a competitive offer.
Linebacker Ikaika Alama-Francis: This former defensive lineman played sparingly last season, and its hard to figure out where he fits in Miami's new defense. Considering the Dolphins plan to add multiple "pressure players" this offseason its hard to envision where he fits.
Inside linebacker Marvin Mitchell: This six-year veteran was surprisingly productive last season, contributing 30 tackles, one sack and one interception in his limited action. With Koa Misi expected to move inside the Dolphins would probably rather invest in someone younger and cheaper.
Cornerback Will Allen: This 12-year veteran plays one of the few positions where age, wisdom and experience are valued. But cornerbacks need to have what it takes athletically to match up with some of the best athletes on the field step-for-step. Allen, who doesn't plan to retire, must prove that in his workouts for teams. The Dolphins haven't shut the door on his return, but he's viewed as a break in case of emergency player. Expect Miami to invest in Nolan Carroll and Jimmy Wilson moving forward.
Just for clarity…..
I keep getting asked how can the Dolphins create more cap room?
It's simple, but really complicated. Take players with high base salaries, which are usually those in the final year of their deals. Convert those base salaries to bonuses and spread it out.
Problem is, if the player is in the final season of their contract (say Starks or Reggie Bush for example) you'd have to add extra years. The motivation has to be there from the player's side (he wants to stay in South Florida, he needs up front cash, he's getting a pay raise) to do so.
There is no easy formulas to creating more cap space.
But just know the Dolphins, which spent less REAL cash (bonus money) than any other NFL team last fiscal season, have avenues and opportunities they can turn to if put in a pinch. But there will be a price.

Department Chair: Political Science
Professor of Political Science with a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. Ms. Trish is a generalist in U.S politics, with political parties, electoral politics and technology frequently at the intersection of her teaching and scholarship. At present, she is examining metric-driven/evidence-based campaign politics, and the larger cultural phenomena of tracking, metrics, and data-based decisions and processes. Her October 2015 paper addresses the evidence-based presidency. And her earlier articles on data and analytics in the 2012 campaign have appeared in Campaigns & Elections Magazine (The Evidence-Based Revolution and The Year of Big Data). Ms. Trish's courses, in one way or another, expose students to the methods of empirical and quantitative political science. (She liked data before it became fashionable!) Most of her courses involve a significant research project in which students collect and analyze data. While at Grinnell, Ms. Trish has had a variety of involvements outside of the department. Among these are the college's Program in Practical Political Education (PPPE) and efforts to enhance quantitative literacy. Grinnell's long-standing relationship with Nanjing University is one of her special interests. Ms. Trish currently chairs the Department of Political Science and sits on the Grinnell College Institutional Review Board.

TUCSON, Ariz. – University of Arizona football has accepted an invitation to play Boston College at the AdvoCare V100 Bowl in Shreveport, La., it was announced by the Bowl committee and Arizona Athletics on Sunday. The Wildcats' game with the Eagles will be played Tues., Dec. 31, at 10:30 a.m. MT and will air on ESPN.
"We're excited to be invited to the AdvoCare V100 Bowl in Shreveport," Athletics Director Greg Byrne said. "This is a great reward for our team, Coach Rodriguez and our program. We'll be making our second consecutive bowl appearance and have a shot at our second consecutive eight-win season. In order for us to reach our long-term goals of playing in Rose Bowls and contending for National Championships, we have to build from a strong foundation that includes making a bowl game each and every season. We've had great support from Arizona fans all season and I hope it continues at the bowl game. We hope to see many of our fans in Shreveport on Dec. 31."
"Our team is looking forward to playing a very well-respected program in a very well-respected bowl game," head coach Rich Rodriguez said. "I spoke to the committee after we got the invitation and I know they are excited to have us, and I reiterated how excited we are. I'm hoping we'll have a large contingent of UA fans head out to Shreveport for the holidays."
Arizona will participate in its 18th bowl game in program history with the first coming at the 1921 Christmas Classic in San Diego. After a drought from the 1999-2007 seasons, the Wildcats have played in a bowl game in five of the last six seasons, missing only the 2011 campaign. Last season, Arizona won a thriller in Albuquerque at the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, defeating the Nevada Wolf Pack, 49-48.
The AdvoCare V100 Bowl will mark Arizona's first trip to Shreveport and its first matchup with Boston College.
To purchase tickets for the AdvoCare V100 Bowl, call 520-621-CATS, visit the McKale Center Ticket Office or purchase online at ArizonaWildcats.com. For complete information on the AdvoCare V100 Bowl, visit www.arizonawildcats.com/bowlgame or advocarev100bowl.org/.

This report provides a global look at circular migration experiences, depicts various governments' attempts at creating circular migration, evaluates the economic costs and benefits of circular migration for sending and receiving countries, identifies components of effective bilateral agreements, and reviews outcomes governments might realistically expect from their circular migration policies.
This brief takes a look at hometown associations (HTAs)—immigrant organizations based on a common hometown—and their often overlooked function as integration intermediaries in their country of destination.
More than half of all the states in the world, countries of immigration as well as emigration, now tolerate some form or element of dual citizenship. This report goes beyond statistical trends to the heart of these changes and how best to think through the policy answers.
This report offers an intricate look at the slowdown in remittance growth experienced by Mexico in 2007 by comparing remittance flow figures among Mexican states, and highlights regions that may be particularly vulnerable to risks associated with remittance fluctuations.
This report identifies features of remittances that make them ideal leveraging agents for poverty reduction and migration management agendas, and proposes a four-part international research and policy agenda for maximizing the development impact of international remittances.
This report draws from the existing body of knowledge surrounding circular migration to identify: research gaps, shortcomings of common policy routes, innovative circular migration policies, and critical considerations for policymakers seeking to design and implement positive circular migration schemes.
Previously confined to everyday conversations among migrants and their families, remittances are now on the minds of most governments, members of civil society, the international community, and, to some extent, the private sector. The continued deficiency in our understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of remittances is evident in current literature.

The Miao have traditionally lived in been isolated, rural communities, but with China's industrial expansion has reached Miao regions like Guangxi and Guangdong.
Many Miao subgroups are known for their colorful clothing, elaborately decorated with embroidery and brocade. In fact, the Chinese government's name for various Miao subgroups refers to the predominant color and pattern of the women's clothing, including red, blue, and black Miao, as well as big flowery and small flowery Miao.

Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

Sterling Silliphant was a private student of my father's. They were also close friends and collaborated on writing projects together. I love reading the experiences that others had with my father. These photos were taken at the Long Beach Internationals where my father was "discovered". I am still amazed at the force of his 1" punch which literally put it's recipient in his seat and pushed him back several feet.
A portion from a Sterling Silliphant interview is included with the picture. It reads:
"Bruce was able to punch from half an inch away and grind anybody through the wall
because he had such complete torque, such a dynamic turning axis and such an explosive
pin-pointing of energy. His whole body and half the bloody universe was behind every
punch. He could even place his hand against you and achieve the same result. I mean,
if he struck you in the face from a quarter-inch away, he could make it sound as if he'd
hit you with a baseball bat. And he could punch with either hand with equal power."
