One of the many pleasant developments in the Week One victory over the Jaguars was the heavy usage of TE Kyle Rudolph. Heavy, as in he played every offensive snap. It shows that the Vikings have serious plans to use him as a primary offensive piece, and not just while WR Jerome Simpson sits another two weeks with a suspension.
Rudolph figured heavily into the plans as both a detached and in-line tight end. The Jaguars showed some respect for him by putting a corner on Rudolph, often in man coverage, and rarely letting him run free without some sort of bump at the line.
It was a successful pass-catching debut for Rudolph, but his blocking technique remains a serious work in progress. Although he has the frame to be effective in this part of his game, the fundamentals just are not there yet. You might see more of John Carlson, once his knee improves, and rookie Rhett Ellison, once he gains the confidence of the coaches for an increased role.
- Kyle Rudolph
- Jerome Simpson

glue and money
This project is an attempt to describe the insistent focus on money and the "self-gaining" mechanism that was rather symptomatic for the period before the finance-crisis.
The challenge was: how to describe this lust / greed in one picture.
The project was to glue real money notes, 100 danish kroner in the streets of Copenhagen, Denmark with heavy 2-component glue and later to register what had happen to the notes.

It's the start of a bold New Year. You may be pondering all sorts of self-improvements like weight loss, smoking cessation, and tucking some dollars away for retirement. Maybe you even plan to start flossing. Those are great ways to revitalize your body and bank account, but how are you planning to breathe new life into your frame of mind for the upcoming bleak winter months?
According to the American Osteopathic Association, seasonal affective disorder (SAD) impacts the emotional well being of as much as 10 percent of the American population, especially women and young adults in northern climates. That's a lot of people walking around depressed and fatigued, with decreased libido because the sun isn't shining in Pennsylvania.
So, getting out and about after you've trashed the moldy scraps of fruit cake and pulled the last party popper streamer out of your hair (or worse) is actually healthy! After you've considered these top ten reasons to schedule a night out in Johnstown, you'll be sure to add some night-worthy activities to your New Year resolutions for 2014.
10 – You've spent so much time on social media that you now just give a "thumbs up" instead of answering people.
9 – You've already seen every episode of Duck Dynasty – and learned nothing.
8 – Your cat is tired of watching you sleep on the sofa and even more weary of appearing on Instagram and Snapchat.
7 – Two words – tavern food.
6 – It feels good to wear something that isn't work tainted.
5 – Make up has an expiration date.
4 – Guaranteed there will be someone there who dances worse than you do.
3 – When your ex sees you having fun he/she will think you've gotten over it.
2 – You won't have to kiss a single family member.
And the number one reason to enjoy an evening out in Johnstown is:
1 – It's real.
No matter how realistically the 3D animation on your computer game captures motion, or how many songs are downloaded to your iPod, or how many channels you have in HD staying home can never replace the visceral experience of going out. The very act of cleaning up to be seen has a motivating impact on the human psyche. Direct conversations with live people can be inspiring or infuriating – but they're real. You'll find their truths and passions in every discussion; in their eyes and word choices and their very smells if you pay a bit of attention.
If you're a native, you're probably prone to the "nothing to do in this town" mentality. But Johnstown has more to offer than daylight tourist attractions. You don't have to look hard to find cultural venues, kick-butt live bands, and packed dance floor DJs – even roller derby.
Why not resolve to spend a night or two each week meeting interesting people and hearing some hot tunes while you wait for the springtime sunshine? It's right in your own back yard in Johnstown.

Just as a reminder - in order to complete the Certificate, students need to complete a series of five courses or experiential learning programs, some of which may already be woven in to their major requirements. Check out the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation website to see specific requirements and information about our program, events, and student entrepreneurs.
This spring we will once again co-sponsor with the Department of Communication, a Women and Leadership, ENTR 470 (3), a course designed to encourage young women to become the entrepreneurs and business leaders of tomorrow.

NPR Interview: Lauryn Hill
After years of almost total silence from Lauryn Hill, she finally opened up to NPR about her music, why she left the game, and where she's headed next. While her classic solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was groundbreaking in part because of her unique ability to sing over hooks she also rapped, she's focusing now on "opening up [her] range, really sing more." According to Lauryn, "Most people have never really heard me 'sing sing sing'… if I do record again, next time perhaps it will be in an expanded context." And for those have been missing Ms. Hill's voice, she's starting to perform again, including the Rock the Bells tour this summer. She told NPR, "I think it's just time [to perform more], I'm starting to get excited again."

Celebrating 66 years of independence
On Tuesday, Israel celebrated its 66th independence day with 24 hours of celebrations that started on Monday night. The streets of every city were colored in blue and white, fireworks lit the sky and famous artists performed on stages set in various location. On Tuesday, many Israelis headed out to the national parks for the traditional Independence Day barbecue. At the same time, President Peres marked the country's 66th year by honoring 120 outstanding soldiers and singing songs, the IDF opened its bases to the public, the IAF held an aerial display across the Israeli sky and contesters from across the world competed at the International Bible Contest.

Israel honored its greatest minds, activists and artists, handing out the prize, considered Israel's highest honor, to a number of prominent Israelis – including Adina Bar Shalom, daughter of former chief rabbi and Shas' deceased spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, for her work on promoting higher education for ultra-Orthodox women.

Remembering them all
On Tuesday, Israelis bowed their heads in memory of the 23,169 men and women, Fallen Israeli Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism. The night before, a nRememberew application named ing Them All was released and distributed for free by the Defense Ministry on its IDF memorial site. The app lets users scan the memorial stones at Mt. Herzl Military Cemetery and bring up an information page on the soldier buried there. The app uses pictures, text and video to help Israelis learn the personal stories of IDF soldiers who fell in battle defending the country.

More Orthodox men join the Israeli workforce
Moshe Friedman is a Haredi man, who decided to blend in and join the Israeli workforce, something that many of his fellow members of the Ultra- Orthodox sector choose not to do. Three years after founding his video company, he co-founded a new initiative to place more Haredi employees at Israeli technology firms. The program, run by the Israel office of the telecommunications giant Cisco Systems, launched last year and already has placed 100 Haredi employees at companies such as Google and Intel.

This post has been inspired by a poem written by Rosie Miles. Rosie is studying for a literature MA and the programme includes sharing her writing with visual artists, who are to produce work in response. Rosie sent me a selection of poems, including one called 'Bench (for Kate Etheridge)'.
Kate was a friend of Rosie's who died young from a brain tumour. A group of her friends collected money to have a bench engraved in her honour. The narrator of the poem describes sitting on the bench, tracing the inscription with her fingers, thinking of Kate. The poem brings out the tactile qualities of the bench, still very much there years after Kate's death.
"...As yet you're not
defaced, and ten years on you're part of what
lives, grows, belongs here in this place...."
Reading the poem I was very strongly aware of a sense of the solidity and presence of the bench, and the absence of Kate. I often look at the inscriptions on benches in parks and wonder who these people were, people who loved the park so much, and who were loved by those who chose to commemorate them in this way. I found that the bench was in Ruskin Park in South London, not too far from where I live. I thought it would be interesting to visit and document the bench, to sit on it and explore it and the space it was in, to place it in my mind and on the map. I wanted to explore the sense of the solidity of the bench, to see if it was there still, while Kate, whom I never knew, was- where?
So here is the bench made in Kate's memory. The little film clip above was taken stting on the bench, trying to capture a sense of being there, while the stills below document the bench as it was in August 2011.
|Scenes of life on the bench - the spider's web
|Evidence of other visitors
I have located the bench on Google Earth and have attempted to post these pictures to Google Earth - I didn't realise until I started that it takes up to four weeks for pictures to appear. I will update this post when/if they appear. In the meantime you can find the bench for yourself by plugging in the coordinates at the top and bottom of this post.
So here is the bench, and its surroundings, and the inscription to Kate from her friends. I have explored it, and I have located it fairly precisely on the map. But where is Kate? Who was she? What did she look like? We will probably never know much beyond her name, her lifespan, and that she was much loved. So what does the Bench symbolise, to you or to the people who loved Kate? I suppose this work, like the poem that inspired it, is about love and loss and what remains.
I don't regard this as a finished project but as work in progress. I want to visit the bench again, in winter and in spring, and take some more pictures/film footage. I hope to get a recording of Rosie's voice reading the poem, and ultimately to put the stills, audio and film clips together into a single piece of footage, ideally linked to/from Google Earth.
I've not tried to make work in response to a poem or piece of writing or music before. I've found it a very interesting and stimulating experience and expect to try it again. I look forward to finishing this project and am grateful to Rosie for sharing her work with me and giving me this opportunity.

According to NBC News on Feb. 13, a couple has an unusual way of running their household. Most people would frown upon this and consider it unconventional. While that might be true for some people, it works well for Daniel Reeves, 38, and his wife Bethany Soule, 32.
This Portland, Oregon couple bids on household chores and pays the other to do it. When something needs to be done and neither wants to do it, they both bid on it by putting their hands behind their backs and indicate with their fingers how much they'd pay the other to do it. Then both of them at the same time show that number on their fingers. It might be $20 to put the kids to bed, $4 to run an errand in the rain, or $400 to make travel plans. Whoever has the lowest bid does the job and gets paid that amount to do it.
Once one paid the other $24 an hour to watch their own two children, Faire, 6, and Cantor, 4.
The chores get done, and while they have two separate bank accounts, the money still stays in the family.
Danny and Bethany say they are just as much in love as when they met nine years ago online and share advanced degrees in computer science.
They have a company called Beeminder where they recommend other games within the marriage.
Would you use this system in your household?

Illinois led USC 57-26 at halftime of their Maui Invitational quarterfinal, a staggering result considering Las Vegas oddsmakers favored the Trojans by two points entering the game. The Illini finished off the rout in the second half, never letting the lead fall below 19 points en route to a 94-64 rout.
Considering Illinois (4-0) needed overtime to beat Hawaii on Friday night and is expected to endure a rebuilding year in John Groce's first season, this was an alarming result for a revamped USC team that expects to contend for the NCAA tournament. The Trojans (2-1) have a healthy Jio Fontan at point guard, two 7-footers in the frontcourt and a handful of highly regarded transfers, yet they looked as inept and listless as they did at any point during last year's injury-plagued wreck of a season.
Some of the credit should go to Illinois, which has parlayed the newfound consistency of guard Brandon Paul and the solid perimeter play of Tracy Abrams and D.J. Richardson into a 4-0 start entering Tuesday's Maui semifinal against host Chaminade. To better appreciate how good the Illini were Monday night, here's a by-the-numbers look at their incredible first half:
57: points Illinois scored in the first half, more than 11 teams did against USC in entire games last season.
68: percent of the first-half shots Illinois attempted that it made, including blistering 7-of-13 3-point shooting.
5: first-half offensive rebounds for Illinois even though it only missed 10 shots before halftime.
11: consecutive shots Illinois sank to end the first half. The Illini went the final 7:38 without missing a single shot.
12: turnovers in the first half by USC.
34: USC's biggest first-half deficit, at 54-20 with 1:20 remaining before halftime.
4: timeouts USC coach Kevin O'Neill called in the first half, including one only 1 minute, 45 seconds into the game and two others only 61 seconds apart. Needless to say, they didn't help much.

Look3: Gregory Crewdson on Inspiration, Repetition, and Huge Productions
Photographer Gregory Crewdson, who has inspired nearly as much awe for the size of his productions as for his evocative, cinematic work, told an audience at Look3 Festival of the Photograph on Saturday that he's just starting a new body of work, and he's done with shooting huge productions.
Crewdson offered no details about his latest project. "I don't want to go too much more into it, because honestly it's a bit of a mystery for myself," he said. But he also said, "I don't think I'll ever go back to the [production] scale of Beneath the Roses. I feel no need to. So what happens next is going to be a smaller version of that."
Crewdson made the remarks at the Paramount Theater in Charlottesville Saturday afternoon, when he appeared on stage for a conversation about his work and career with NPR host Alex Chadwick.
Crewdson is known for his elaborately lit tableaux, shot at twilight in declining towns and neighborhoods of New England, that capture a sense of anxiety, mystery and foreboding. (more…)

Drug Therapy Used to Handle Tuberculosis in South African Gold Miners Fails
by Dr. Enozia Vakil on January 23, 2014 at 2:36 PM Research News - G J E 4
A new study found how the radical bid, as described by the researchers, to cut down tuberculosis in South African gold miners has supposedly failed to prevent deaths and infections.
A high proportion -- as many as three percent -- of miners begin treatment for the contagious lung disease each year.
AdvertisementTuberculosis spreads easily among miners due to the close quarters in which they work, and the epidemic has worsened along with the rise in HIV infections, according to the article in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The clinical trial led by scientists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine offered thousands of South African miners a preventive drug therapy called isoniazid over the course of nine months.
Previous research had shown the drug was effective at preventing latent tuberculosis infection from progressing to full-blown disease.
However, this trial showed that while the therapy did appear to prevent TB while the participants were taking it, the effects quickly wore off once they stopped.
One year after the end of the intervention, researchers did not find any difference in the number of TB cases among workers in the mines where TB preventive therapy was offered, compared to mines that continued their standard practices.
The trial therefore did not reduce the number of cases or deaths from the disease.
"HIV, exposure to silica dust in the mines and close working and living conditions predispose South African gold miners to TB," said lead investigator Alison Grant, a professor of international health.
"As conventional control methods were not working, we investigated a radical approach to TB control. Our study shows that isoniazid preventive therapy works while people take it, but, in this setting, the effect was not enough to improve overall TB control."
The findings suggest that a better approach might include a combination of factors, from better TB testing to prompter treatment for TB as well as HIV, along with preventive therapy regimens.
According to the World Health Organization, TB is closely behind HIV/AIDS as the top infectious killer worldwide.
More than eight million people were sickened by TB in 2012 and 1.3 million died from it.

HTC Sensation 4G officially announced by Bell, will be launched soon
Bell Mobility has just confirmed that it would launch the HTC Sensation in Canada (as rumored a couple of days ago).
Just like T-Mobile in the US, Bell calls its Sensation the Sensation 4G (because it's capable of providing download speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps).
Bell's Sensation is the same smartphone we've seen in Europe and the US, coming with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 4.3 inch qHD display, dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 8MP camera with 1080p video recording, and lots of other high-end features.
Bell says the Sensation 4G will be available "in the coming weeks." Until then, you can win one of the 10 Sensations that the carrier is giving away – go here for more details. Bell didn't announce the smartphone's price.

text: One of the big storylines for this offseason regarding the New England Patriots is the small army of significant players that are poised to hit free agency unless the club ponies up a new contract (or uses its franchise tag, though there can be only one franchise taggee). Amongst those key players is CB Aqib Talib, who the club acquired in exchange for its fourth-round selection in the 2013 draft, and who instantly improved the secondary upon arrival. In fact, it was his exit from the AFC championship game that proved to be a turning point in the Ravens' win over New England.

As you go about your crazy, chaotic days of wrapping packages, baking cookies, volunteering at local events and decorating, please take time each day through the advent season to remember that as Christians we are to take this time of year to celebrate The Greatest Gift ever given…eternal life through forgiveness and sacrifice.
Our Heavenly Father gave us His only Son so that we may have eternal life but also that we might have life abundantly. That doesn't mean abundant life thru packages, toys and prepaid gift cards mind you; that means abundant life thru the discernment, joy and peace He offers that no one and no other thing can. But during the Christmas holiday there are times we all forget this. We tend to forget that the birth of Jesus Christ that we have celebrated for so very long is not about the mad dash on Christmas Eve to get whatever gift we can scrounge up at our local pharmacy. It's not about whether or not something has been 'regifted' vs. brand new; it's not about if something is wrapped just right or worth a particular dollar amount. It's about love, giving, grace and family…the family of God.
So in this amazing time of year when so many people set aside their harshness and don a silly set of reindeer ears or a Santa hat to have some fun with family and friends, I encourage you to take every gift you give and attach a piece of paper or a card to it that reminds the recipient that this IS the season we choose to celebrate the birth of our Savior, The Messiah. I encourage you to take a deep breath, put down the sugar cookies for a moment and share some inspirational messages on those notes and packages. I hope the following helps:
Quotes, Scripture and Inspiration for Christmas
Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~ Norman Vincent Peale
Therefore the Lord himself will give youa sign: The virginwill conceive and give birth to a son, andwill call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14
Fail not to call to mind, in the course of the twenty-fifth of this month, that the Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day; and then smile and enjoy yourselves for the rest of it; for mirth is also of Heaven's making. ~ Leigh Hunt
And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. Luke 2:9-12
Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year - and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority. ~ W.J. Cameron
The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, (14) "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased! Luke 2:13-14
For the spirit of Christmas fulfils the greatest hunger of mankind. ~ Loring A. Schuler
Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself. ~ Francis C. Farley
When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things - not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow of happiness. ~ Bob Hope
In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!' ~ Dave Barry, "Christmas Shopping: A Survivor's Guide"
The worst gift is a fruitcake. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other. ~ Johnny Carson
The Church does not superstitiously observe days, merely as days, but as memorials of important facts. Christmas might be kept as well upon one day of the year as another; but there should be a stated day for commemorating the birth of our Saviour, because there is danger that what may be done on any day, will be neglected. ~ Samuel Johnson
To find the Christmas story of Jesus' Birth in The Bible, check out Matthew 1: 18 – 24 or Luke 2: 1-20

Roasted by specialty coffee roaster, White Cloud Coffee, LifeFoods uses only 100% OCIA-certified, shade-grown, high altitude organic Arabica beans, and uniquely fluid-bed air roasts them, providing retailers and consumers with a "cleaner" organic roast, free from coffee dust and coffee debris associated with typical drum roasting methods.
"This line shows that a great cup of coffee can not only make a difference in your own health, and those of your customers, but also in the health of the environment. The LifeFoods line is free from pesticides and herbicides, and promotes sustainable farming methods such as shading, terracing, composting, and biological controls, in place of the usual agricultural chemicals," said Jerome Eberharter, White Cloud c.e.o.

Green Mountain Coffee's extensive line of double-certified coffees includes single-origin, blends, dark roasts, Swiss Water Process decaffeinated, and flavored coffees. The Fair Trade and organic certified selections are offered in a wide variety of formats to meet customer needs, including bulk, 10-oz. and 12-oz. bags, institutional fractional packages, retail fractional packages, and in the Keurig K-Cup.
"The expansion of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' Fair Trade and organic product line enhances the Company's standing in the growing natural foods market segment," said T.J. Whalen, director of brand and market development for Green Mountain Coffee.

The Private Reserve brand includes 10 exotic blends and single-origin coffees created by roastmaster Peter Pesce. "More and more consumers are demanding specialty coffee in the office," Pesce observes, "OCS operators can improve quality and raise pack weights to meet this demand, increasing per-cup revenues despite the economic slowdown."
To create a program that would meet real-world needs, Pesce hired directors with backgrounds in OCS sales and marketing. Stand-up portion packages and display boxes build consumer-level brand awareness and loyalty. Branded thermos wraps, description cards, danglers and paper cups increase consumption by creating a "café in the office" impression.
The Private Reserve sales process involves using a brochure and sample on cold calls and following up with a product menu and written proposal. "Salespeople like to sell what's easy," business development director Tim Cook comments, "This program has enabled salespeople to achieve close rates as high as 70%." Combining these tools with sales incentives for salespeople and route drivers, Reunion Island takes a hands-on approach to building successful partnerships.
The company has aggressive plans to build a cooperative network of partner businesses in every major U.S. market within the next 12 months.

@The Roving ENFP . I will not deny the validity of those last words. However, I still don't think it is necessary that every finer point of feminism must be expressed through its name. No word or term or name or label will allow one to discern the entire picture of what said thing represents. Yes, there are people who only look at things on the surface level and then disregard anything that doesn't immediately please, however my goal is not to cater to their lack of sophistication. My goal is to drive them to actually engage with the matter at hand and explore further into it.
It's almost like through not the same as my general disinterest in dumbing things down for people. I will find a simpler and clearer way to describe something to someone if they're confused, but I will always track back to the original sentiment for that is the real meat of the matter. But also, no word, term, etc ever fully does justice for the thing it is prescribed to, which I just realize is another point to make. There is a stark difference between prescription and description. Feminism is not a description (as in describes) of the movement but rather a prescription (something that has been assigned to the movement whether arbitrarily or not).
Feminism's "bad reputation" can be restored as much as anything else can, as much as the woman's reputation can be restored, as much as the black man's or Asian woman's. If I didn't think reputations could be restored, then I wouldn't be in the fight for equality, rights, etc. However, even if feminism were to revert to a different name, I doubt it's bad reputation would go away. Why? The people who ruined feminism's reputation. Now, I am not talking about the radical feminist even though they are a factor in this. I am talking about the men, the misogynists who portrayed feminism as something evil through media, etc in order to discredit the movement. Its feminism's burden to bear, but it was not feminism's fault that people tried to discredit them. Basically, misogynists and even simply good-hearted people who simply desire to keep the status quo would find other ways to discredit the movement... they might start to bring up the history of the movement and its name change. They might claim its feminism in disguise, sneaking into your child's bedroom. Perhaps they would take a different route and claim hwo the new movement disrupts people's daily lives with absurd notions. *sighs* Who the hell knows what they would come up with, but they would come up with something. Thusly, I will still advocate for enlightenment of the topic rather than changing names. A name change might help the movement gain some ground, but it will still have many battles to fight.

As far as I know, there is just one place in metro Atlanta serving the food that President Barak Obama grew up with, Hawaiian cuisine. It's been years since I've frequented the shops at this busy intersection of LaVista and Briarclift, so I was pleased to see that Waikikie Hawaiian BBQ was still going strong. First, I've not misspelled the name. They added an "e" on the end because "we needed a way to differentiate our name, while still paying tribute to one of the favorite Hawaiian Islands."
The Sunday afternoon I visited with two friends, we weren't treated to a ukulele band or island dancers but they often have entertainment. No worries, we were there for lunch of "local food." When the first Polynesians arrived in the islands, there was little to eat. Each new group of settlers brought with them new combinations of animals and plants, eventually creating a unique cuisine. According to their website "Local Food is an East-West Pacific mix created in the 1920s and '30s by lunch wagon cooks and small stores and restaurants. Typical Local Food meals are lunch plates which consist of rice and meat covered in gravy, served with either salt seaweed or chili peppers, sesame oil or soy sauce. Also popular is Teriyaki, a sauce used to prepare all kinds of meat. As you can see, Hawaiian food is a unique cuisine created from a very diversified background."
Most plates are served with 2 scoops of steamed rice and 1 of macaroni salad. I stick with the pig dishes here especially Spicy Pork or Kalua Pork ($7.29 each). This is also the only restaurant I can name that serves Spam. Yes, Spam. And it's tasty! Try the Spam Moco (with 2 eggs and gravy, $6.29) or my personal favorite, the Spam Musubi (appetizer, 2 for $2.99).
Dining is casual with a central table perfect for large groups. Prices are extremely reasonable and portions sizes are large enough that I usually bring home part of my meal for later. Order and pay at the counter. Drinks are self-serve. They have a fine patio in front where smoking is allowed. If the parking is full in front, there's more room behind the building

I'm looking for a highly configurable IRC bot. Only requisite: it must not be a plugin to an existing IRC client like mIRC.
Which is where I'm having trouble. IRC bots a plenty, but almost all of them are scripts for mIRC or Xchat. And I don't use any of those. And no, I'm not going to switch.
What I'm looking for is a program that I can start separately, it connects to the channels on the server of my choosing and sits there, doing what I instruct it to do.

|Unlocked by
|Was It Worth It? and Off Route
Get Lost is the final storyline mission in The Lost and Damned. It is given by Thomas Stubbs to Johnny Klebitz but is for the Alderney Chapter of the The Lost Brotherhood . By matching up the time lines it can be assumed this mission takes place around the same time Niko encounters Bernie in the original game.
Mission Summary
Congressman Tom Stubbs calls shortly after you complete Was It Worth It? (Johnny can call Stubbs first) He wants to meet Johnny at the Lost MC Clubhouse. Walk into the yellow marker outside to trigger the meeting. First, Stubbs announces that Ray Boccino isn't going to live for much longer, so he's no longer a concern for The Lost Brotherhood. But the Congressman also confirms that Billy Grey plans to pin a major drug operation on Johnny and Angus Martin, and then disappear into the federal witness protection program.
The Mission
Go to the Alderney State Correctional Facility down in southeast Alderney. Your Lost brothers soon arrive. Approach Terry at the back of his van and load up on all weapons- grab as much as you can for every weapon; they're free this time. Blow up the prison doors. An easy start is to launch a rocket at the laundry service van parked just inside the entryway- causing several guards to be killed. Use a sniper rifle to pick off guards who use laundry bins for cover in the entrance area, or just run in guns blazing with your Carbine Rifle. Follow Terry and Clay to the left. When you reach the north end of the yard, another wave of guards opens fire at the corner. One well-placed grenade tossed early can make quick work of this crew. Fight your way around the northwest corner - don't miss the first aid kit on the side of the water basin right at the corner. Then head east where another laundry van is surrounded by hostile guards. Blow it up to thin their ranks and pick off the shooter on the roof. Go into the recreational yard with guns ablaze, but use nearby barrels for cover - you still have a lot of fighting to do. Kill the NOOSE goons that drop from the helicopters. When battling the NOOSE, explosives are your best friend. Use the RPG/grenade launcher and normal grenades or pipe bombs to flush out groups, and when you run out, finish them off with guns. When the last goon drops - the location of Billy Grey is revealed. Hold Billy at gunpoint with your Automatic 9mm. Johnny hesitates at first but shoots Billy in the chest after he lunges at him with a knife. After Grey's corpse is at your feet, return to Terry and Clay and get on your bike. Drive out of the prison and lead The Lost back to the Lost MC Clubhouse. You will then find that Ray Boccino and his men have wrecked the clubhouse. Johnny and the remaining Lost members, decide to put the clubhouse out of its misery and burn it to the ground.
- Depending on what explosive weapon Johnny has when he approaches the gate, he will say different things. The player can switch weapons to hear different things.
- When escaping the prison after killing Billy Grey, the guards will only have pistols. Along the way, you can see prisoners fighting it out with the guards, police arresting prisoners and prisoners making a run for it.
- You can no longer watch television after this mission.

With all the talk of possible riots and different ways the government might try to take our guns, the big discussion at work has been, 'Would you give up your guns when the official knock comes at the door?'
I'm talking about a real deal total ban - do you fight, give-up or hide?
Or, do you think there'd be another American Revolution when we saw the 'writing on the wall'?
If there was no revolution, I think I'd either hide or fight...

Electronic communication has provided us with a dilemma. Just how will we sign off from these brief messages, often sent nearly as fast as one could ask a question of someone standing next to you?
What we know as the traditional complimentary closing at the bottom of correspondence is also called valediction, which is derived from the Latin vale dicere, "to say farewell."
Saying farewell in today's short and to-the-point bursts of email communication has developed into complimentary one-word closings such as regards, thanks, best, or some other word denoting the circumstances. Farewells are even disappearing altogether, being replaced with merely an automatic signature applied at the end of the message.
Historically, however, complimentary closings on correspondence were a literary art in themselves of expressing reassurance, loyalty, and respect. The closing was carefully matched with the type of relationship the letter writer had with the recipient or the circumstances that the letter was addressing.
According to "The Empathic Civilization" by Jeremy Rifkin, "the phrase yours sincerely was originally used to communicate the idea of clean or pure or unadultered. Wines were referred to as sincere. When applied to people, the term 'sincere' implied pure or virtuous. By the sixteenth century, it was being used to contrast pretense from truth."
Good examples of historical complimentary closings may be found in the James Madison Papers archived in the Library of Congress. Some of his farewells were:
- With perfect respect and consideration I have the honor to be your most humble and obedient servant
- Accept my friendly respects
- I have the honor to be sir your obedient servant
- With every sentiment of respect and attachment I remain, Dear Sir, your obedient servant
- I pray you Sir to accept assurances of my distinguished esteem and best regards
George Washington signed off on his letter of September 17, 1787, to the President of the Continental Congress, submitting the Constitution for consideration in this manner: "With great respect, WE have the honor to be SIR, Your Excellency's most Obedient and humble servants."
Somehow the elegant closings of the great letters of American history contributed to making them all that they were and would have been diminished to have been signed off with merely "regards," sincerely yours," or "yours cordially." Yet to say the least, any of these type of elegant farewells on correspondence today, whether in formal business letters or any email, would come across as rather suspicious of someone NOT being sincere.
Perhaps we not only have lost the elegant prose but are just not obedient, humble servants anymore.

Santorum's Just a Teensy Bit Bitter About Losing the CPAC Vote
Suggests Romney "rigged" the straw poll.
When CNN's Candy Crowley asked Rick Santorum this morning about his seven-point loss to Mitt Romney in yesterday's CPAC straw poll, the candidate's inner sass came streaming out:
Well, you know, those straw polls at CPAC ... for years Ron Paul has won those because he trucks in a lot of people, pays for their tickets, and they come in and vote and they leave. We didn't do that, we don't do that. I don't try to rig straw polls.
You have to talk to the Romney campaign and how many tickets they bought, we've heard all sorts of things.
Mitt Romney's camp was having none of this suggestive slander, however, and fired back in a statement to Politico: "Rick Santorum has a history of making statements that aren't grounded in the truth." Ah, politics.

When planting edamame, allow soils to thoroughly warm up to 55-60 degrees F prior to planting. Edamame seed do not germinate in cool soils so wait to plant for best success.
Plant one inch deep, 3" apart within rows, with rows 20 inches apart. bother benefit for growing edamame is it will help with soil fertility.
Harvest edamame when the beans in the pod are 80-90% expanded or when the leaves have changed from bright green to a slight yellowish-green color. Handpick pods with at least two beans per pod and select pods which are only bright green in color. Pods can be refrigerated for up to a week or blanch them for 2-3 minutes in boiling water and freeze them loose in zip-lock bags.
Here are some recipes for edamame that I think you will enjoy.
Edamame hummus
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups shelled, cooked edamame, thawed if frozen
2 medium garlic gloves, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- Place the cannellini beans, edamame, garlic, water, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and sesame seed oil in a food processor fitted with a blade attachment.
- Season with pepper and process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- If the dip is too thick, pulse in more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer to a medium bowl, add the cilantro, and stir to combine.
- Taste and season with more salt or lemon juice as needed.
- Serve with pita chips.
Roasted Edamame with Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper
1 pound shelled edamame
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Spread the edamame on a clean dish towel and pat gently to dry them.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the edamame with the olive oil, salt, and pepper .
- Taste test one of the edamame and add more seasonings if desired.
- Spread the edamame in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast for 30-40 minutes.
- Stir every 10 minutes and watch for the edamame to begin puffing and turning golden-brown.
- Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the roasted edamame to a serving bowl.
- They are best if eaten within a few hours of roasting.

Boots Ingredients Strawberry and Yogurt Body Scrub Review
Boots Ingredients Strawberry and Yogurt Body Scrub Review
Hello Ladies,
I have been obsessed with body scrubs lately. I have been using so many of them at a time, I mean one scrub for everyday kinds. :P I feel we just keep exfoliating our face and completely forget to take care of our body skin. So on my latest visit to Boots, I picked Boots Ingredients Strawberry and Yogurt Body Scrub which I will be reviewing for you guys.
Product Claim:
Bodyscrub with natural extracts of Strawberry & Yoghurt. Boots ingredients body scrub is specially formulated to exfoliate and clarify your skin, whilst leaving it feeling soft, smooth and refreshed.
Price, Availability and quantity:
It is available at all Boots Pharmacies across the middle east and it retails at 11-13 AED. The tube has 150 ml of the scrub.
It comes in a stout simple tube, with a flip up cap, I do not like my scrubs to be in tubs, I will let you know why soon. :P
My thoughts on the Boots Ingredients Strawberry and Yogurt Body Scrub:
As mentioned above I have fallen in love with body scrubs, this love walked in slowly :P I picked it for the simple fact that it had this strawberry pulp kind of gel in the tube and strawberry and yogurt does unleash the need to have more kind of feeling in me. And trust me it smells like crushed strawberries, actually. Now let's see if it's worth the buy or no.
Why should you BUY the Boots Ingredients Strawberry and Yogurt Body Scrub:
• If you are looking for a nice refreshing yummy smelling bath pick the Boots Ingredients Strawberry and Yogurt Scrub.
• The price and quantity both are good.
• The packaging is nice, I like scrubs in a tub since they avoid the mess of water /soap getting into the tub. :P
• The texture is a bit thicker gel-like which means it's not that runny.
• The scrub has some micro granules as well as some relatively visible ones, which ensures that the skin is cleaned and cleared completely.
• The granules are however not harsh or hard in any manner.
• It lathers well, I have used scrubs which don't lather but do the cleansing part which leaves me thinking of an incomplete cleansing procedure.
• The fragrance is divine; you will feel like you are scrubbing strawberry pulp over your body, you can read the tube says "THIS IS NOT FOOD".
• It doesn't make my skin feel dry and moisturizes appropriately.
• The hint of the fragrance/scent stays on for a while even after using a bodywash.
• It's doesn't have an overpowering sweet smell.
• Gives your skin a I'm CLEAN feeling.
• Thank God it doesn't smell yogurt in anyways.
Why should you SKIP the Boots Ingredients Strawberry and Yogurt Body Scrub:
• The only reason to skip this one, is its availability.
Final Verdict:
Overall, it is a nice regular use scrub. Not harsh not too mild for a body scrub, nice scent and all that a bodyscrub needs to be.

When Dave wrote to tell us that Hawaiian Kukui Body Butter ($15 for three—yes, three!—jars) was a must-try, we were a bit skeptical (Hi, Dave!) But then we snagged some of this fragrant cream to sample for ourselves and were totally blown away. The super rich product contains real shea butter and kukui nut oil to seal in moisture, and it lasts all day. Delicious. So, without further ado...[Thanks, Dave!]

Today, Feb. 5, 2014, Dr. Elena Craft testified to the US House of Representatives about the poor quality of air in Texas. Her testimony included standards based on current peer-reviewed published research about the unhealthy presence of ozone, mercury and other air toxics and greenhouse gases. Craft is a scientist, adjunct professor, and Environmental Defense Fund health scientist. She points to research that asserts that currently over half of all Texans (57%), almost 15 million people, breathe air that does not meet current federal health based air quality standards for ozone that were set in 2008. This puts Texans at risk for a variety of severe health issues – asthma attacks, cardiac arrests, lung damage, and death. Read the full testimony.
Craft reported that "Texas was home to six of the top ten highest emitting coal plants for mercury and mercury compounds in the United States in 2012 and mercury emissions from Texas electric utilities have remained relatively consistent since 2001, even though seventeen other states have taken measures to reduce mercury from their power plants. Maryland, for example, passed the Healthy Air Act back in 2007, curbing mercury pollution by 80%."
At apparent odds with the testimony is the reported decrease in ozone levels reported by the Texas commission on environmental quality which states that ozone levels have decreased 23 percent between 2000 and 2012. This decrease may be related to Federal changes in gas and auto standards. Texas does have a written plan to decrease air pollution, but it does not seem to address coal burning.
Craft reports that "Texas officials have continuously resisted clean air protections proposed by EPA, leaving Texans with unhealthy levels of air pollution and more carbon emissions than any other state in the nation. EDF believes Texas officials should work with EPA to implement the Clean Air Act and provide the vital clean air protections that Texans need."
Since Texas is the biggest state in the union, one might expect that they would have more emissions than smaller states, but that does not explain the poor air quality as Texas ranks 26th in the nation in population density.

Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday:Roman Reloaded
Sun 1st Apr, 2012 in Reviews
Nicki Minaj returns with her sophomore release Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, aided by her pop ready strut of Starships, Minaj is about to shock you with this schizophrenic collection of R&B thump and pop stunners.
At the halfway point of 2011 punters around the globe finally caught onto the rap/pop enigma that is one Miss Nicki Minaj. Finding favour in the commercial sphere with the upbeat, carefree pop treat 'Superbass', its subsequent album 'Pink Friday' (check out our review ) began to open up pop fans to the Svengali of the female rap game. 2012 brings us the next phase in the Minaj trajectory, the oddly titled 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'. Not a deluxe edition, but a beefed up collection (19 tracks!) of radio ready R&B / Pop swagger.
Roman Reloaded is an album of two halves. Front-loaded by victory anthem laden rapid fire rap numbers, before settling into a far more pop orientated groove in the second, Minaj seems to embody the personas she promotes. Roping in a slew of male rap talent to add to the beat heavy numbers, Roman Reloaded requires a few spins to truly find its feet.
Kicking off proceedings with her Roman Zolanski persona, 'Roman Holiday' is a spitfire rush of phrasing amid tribal beats that is a sonic psychiatric session upon first listen, Minaj rarely lets her foot of the pedal, taking stock of her achievements (the bizarrely frantic 'Come On A Cone'), hood jams (the grinding two punch of 'I Am Your Leader' & 'Beez In The trap') and 'we made it' glory jams (highlight 'Champion', delivered with swagger and ably assisted by rap heavyweights Drake, Nas & Young Jeezy). Nicki sounds far more at ease in the R&B genre and deserves the attention for mastering and helping to define a genre dominated by male counterparts.
Recent smash 'Starships' announces the surprisingly upbeat second half. Its anthemic pop hooks far outweigh its questionable lyrical content and is clear Minaj has her eyes set on the Rihanna / Gaga / J-Lo pop power numbers and success of her contemporaries. Elsewhere, we find 'Pound The Alarm' channeling Rihanna's 'We Found Love' via David Guetta (its similarities to 'Starships are obvious), the sugar pop shrill of 'Whip It' (J-Lo wishes she snared this hot little number) and the club sweat beats of 'Beautiful Sinner'. With a half clearly geared towards the commercial sensibilities, Minaj has crafted a tight package of radio ready hits that help balance her passion for the different genres in which she currently reigns.
Stretching to 19 tracks, 'Roman' required a great deal of editing to avoid becoming laborious and unfortunately many numbers drag proceedings. Misfires occur in the trite balladry of fame-is-pain 'Marilyn Monroe', the Femme Fatale sounding outtake of 'Automatic' and the R&B porn of 'Sex In the Lounge' (Lil Wayne's worst collaborative effort ever).
Nicki Minaj circa 2012 is still a conflicted and curious diva, fame has found the freedom to experiment with her sound (and access a plethora of male rap supertalent) and in the way she presents herself. Gone is the softer reflective side of 'Pink Friday' and is its place is one clearly energised Queen Bitch looking for her place on the throne. As a ten track album, this is truly a marvel, but at a bloated nineteen tracks, Minaj too often needs to learn less is more.

Jude Law is among the award contenders at the Berlin Film Festival, where Europe-wide austerity measures have had an impact.
18:17, UK, Saturday 16 February 2013
Among the contenders for the Golden Bear top film award is Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects, which stars Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Soderbergh has said that Side Effects is to be his last movie, and it tackles the world of prescribed drugs, with Law playing a Manhattan doctor who tries to help a depressed wife by giving her a new superdrug.
Also in contention in Berlin is Prince Avalanche, starring Paul Rudd and the fracking drama Promised Land, which features Matt Damon.
New Dreamworks 3D animation The Croods has also debuted at the festival, with Nicola Cage, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone among those providing voices in the prehistoric comedy.
The Berlin prize can raise the profile of low-budget films to a global audience and is an important event in the movie calendar.
Away from the bigger Hollywood films, the impact of Europe-wide austerity measures has provided inspiration for film-makers from countries hardest hit by the financial crisis.
Spanish film Ayer No Termina Nunca (Yesterday Never Ends) is set in 2017 when Spain has hit rock bottom, with more than seven million unemployed and three million homes empty because their owners cannot keep up payments.
Director Isabel Coixet says: "This film is a distillation of my confusion, of my impotence. Through the settling of scores by this couple, behind their pain, is the situation of Spain.
"Two years ago we were reading what was happening in Greece and now it's happening to us. Perhaps this film will serve to warn other countries."
In the Greek-Italian film I Kori (The Daughter), the crisis invokes fear, when a 14-year-old kidnaps the son of her father's business partner whom she blames for bankrupting him.
The hot favourite to take the Golden Bear is the comedy-drama Gloria, directed by Sebastian Lelio, which tells the story of a 58-year-old divorcee determined to live life to the full.
It is one of many films at the festival this year that have given centre-stage to an older woman in the lead role.

This is really not meant as an offense to anyone, but am still shocked that I see so many moms pick such popular names for their little ones. Don't get me wrong I think many of the top names are beautiful, but wouldn't want my son to be the fifth Jacob in a class.
So what's your reasoning? Just curious, not trying to be snarky.
Why does popularity not bother you?
Oh, I was given a name that was a top name about 15 years before I was born. It's nice to not have to spell it for people. They hear my name and there are no questions asked.
My sister has an unusual name and people (including her grandparents) are always misspelling it.
This is the day and age to not let popularity bother us as much! Not nearly the same # of kids are getting names in the top 10 now. 20 years ago you'd expect to be one of 5 with a name in the top 10. This just isn't the case now as many parents are staying away from top 10 names and there are so many new/unique names added to the social security data base each year. This is the time in history to NOT worry so much about name popularity, but instead, we are the ones MOST worried about it :)
Miscarriage @ 5wks, April 2014. Our rainbow is due April 2015.
Comparison is the thief of joy - T. Roosevelt.
^^^I think that is part of the reason why names are so much more diverse these days...because we ARE more worried about it and have resources to research name popularity. In the old days, there was no websites to look into how popular a name was, and so a lot of people didn't think a lot about it. That's why most names were traditional ones like Mike, John, Elizabeth, and Sarah and didn't think twice about it. People used names they were familiar with because there weren't as many ways to research other names.
ETA: I love traditional names! Not knocking them or the people who have used them at all. Just commenting on how there is a lot more diversity these days. :)
Why would I avoid popular names that I love when someone could just use the same name after us? Noah was top of our list for this one before we found out it's a girl because I don't know anyone named Noah, but had avoided it because it's so popular according to the lists.
I have four girls and she is the only one with a name in the top 100. My youngest two are out of the top 1000. My oldest is Adriana and there are two other Adrianas in that school now. You just can't tell really.
And I will admit that Sophie and Isabella and Jackson might make me yawn a little, but I am always happy to see that on a friend's birth announcement than something silly like Brayleigh or Bentleigh. I seriously cringe.
1. Because I will homeschool.
2. Because I hang out with a bunch of hippies who name their kids things like Zephyr and Zion. I don't know any other baby Noahs.
3. Because I went through every possible boy name in the world before naming my son and Noah was all that fit. When he came out, he even looked like a Noah.
4. Because even though it's in the top 10, the name represents less than 1% of births in my (huge) state, which means that 1/100 kids will have his name. I can live with that.
5. We gave him an unusual name as a whole. He has two middle names, one of which is Lennon (and I actually know two other Lennons because of the hippie-esque area in which I live, even though it's #745 on the top 1000). He also has a very unusual last name.
6. Because it's a beautiful, timeless name.
7. Because it related to something geeky - Final Fantasy and Heroes.
Now, please tell me why people are so smug that they DON'T use popular names? My son has a beautiful name and I am tired of people making me feel like I'm "common" for giving him a popular name.
Now, please tell me why people are so smug that they DON'T use popular names?
^^^Maybe we should start a spinoff thread!
I love the fact that Dh and I both have different names w/o being too far fetched from reality. And I love my children's names.
Blaize Raul arrived 8/30 and was delivered at home, completely natural!!!

Oh no, not again. The referee crew from the Kentucky-Vanderbilt game just blew their whistle again. Those three guys had to be the most warn out people in Rupp by the time the final seconds ran off the clock Saturday evening. They combined to call 58 total fouls and the teams shot a total of 70 free throws. Looks like neither team will need to practice free throws this week.

Jan. 18, 2000
SEATTLE - Graves Building Conference Room
ON THE WASHINGTON, OREGON RIVALRY: "I would never characterize it as nasty but it is very intense. When I first came to Washington, one of the first games coach Marv Harshman always talked about was the Oregon game. I visited Oregon when I was in high school during the kamikaze kids. I knew the Washington, Oregon game was big before I heard the stories. In our seven years, there has always been good games. You never have an easy time. Both of us have won going away but they're never easy. We've got our program into the tournament for two years and that's where they want to be. I see the whole Northwest rivalry getting better and better."
ON ERNIE KENT'S EARLY SUCCESS AT OREGON: "I think that's what everyone would have expected because no one knows Oregon basketball better than somebody who played there when it was at its highest. Oregon's had a lot of good teams but they will always look back on Ernie's group."
ON WASHINGTON'S OFFENSE: "What we did on Saturday is something that will be consistent the rest of the year. It was productive and addressed the numbers that needed to be addressed after the Arizona State game. The first was turnovers, the second was production, and last, the calmness and the confidence that our players showed. The biggest difference was that we ran a particular play to start each possession. It gave us more organization and a better chance to get the ball in the right areas. We're not looking to take 30 seconds off the shot clock, we're just looking to be more precise. This style is still based on our defense."
ON THALO GREEN: "He adds that element of toughness, emotionally he is a sparker and you follow by his lead. Now he's more productive. That's not the last time you'll see him hit or take three's, his role will expand."
ON SENQUE CAREY'S RECENT AGGRESSIVENESS: "We went into both those games wanting him to drive it because we felt with his size and strength he had an advantage. We thought Senque could get to the basket and he was successful, certainly in the Arizona State game. It's something we will continue to look for. That's part of his game, being physical with the other guard, and that can be on offense where he can get his body into people. We won't change that. That will be good for us for the rest of our year."
ON PAC-10'S REPUTATION TO RUN: "The west and especially the Pac-10 will always be looked at, because of the strength of our guards, as an up-tempo league. I think that's a common association, good guards mean a quicker tempo game. We do play a quicker tempo but we're not just race horses up and down."
