In Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland, animal lovers and a few amazing heroes of the defenseless managed a dramatic rescue of a two-and-a-half-year-old Beagle named Shandon, after the dog ran down the Valentia Island cliff and became trapped reported the Independent.
On Saturday, David O'Connor had been walking with Shandon when the pooch took off to chase some goats. Sadly, the dog became trapped as he ran along the cliff.
News traveled fast of Shandon's accident. People could hear the dog howling, but there was no way to get him up the cliff. Suzanne Gibbons, of the AHAR Animal Rescue Center in Castleisland knew she had to help, and reached out to the Knightstown Coast Guard Unit and local hero Pat O'Driscoll.
Fearlessly, the heroes began to climb down the dangerous cliff, but were unable to find Shandon even though they could still hear the terrified dog howling. And then came someone on a lifeboat who was able to steer the rescue party to the spot where Shandon was trapped. Success ... and slowly O'Driscoll walked the dog back up the cliff.
The AHAR animal rescue center Facebook page was jubilant with the good news. Shandon had been the constant companion of David O'Connor's son who had recently passed after having fought a losing battle with cancer.
And all for the love of a dog did Pat O'Driscoll and the volunteers risk their lives...
"Can everyone that knows Pat please text him or ring him and wish him well. What a guy and his team of volunteers. Thanks to his brother Dan, Muris Kelly, Alan Cournane, Anthony OSullivan, Sean Donoghue, Laurance Lynch, Stephen Sullivan, Mike Moran and TJ Daly from Knightstown coast guards. You are some of the nicest guys you could meet to risk their lives today for this dog."
David O'Connor and Shandon have since been reunited.

- Release Date: Feb. 25, 2014 (CBT)
- Publisher: Gogogogo.com
- Developer:
- Genre: MMORPG
- Official Site
ClanCraft is a new free-to-play cartoonish fantasy MMORPG featured with strategic turn-based battles. The game takes place in a land called Dios, a place that is blessed with varying terrains and creatures by the Goddess Naya. But the dark force stirred up monsters to rebellion rendering the once peaceful land into a warring state. As wards of the Goddess, players will recruit a group of fighters, unique with battle skills and style, to end the riot of Dios.
ClanCraft has casted off the second Closed Beta Test since Feb. 25, 2014, opening the world of Dios to testers. The contents below are based on the first impression during CBT and the details may be subject to further improvement or change.
Simple yet Strategic Battles
ClanCraft is battle-oriented. After a brief introduction of the background, it thrusts you into the turn-based battles against NPC monsters on the solo campaign map. To join a fight, you first preview the line-up of monsters you are going to meet in battle, then select your battle formation and soldiers, and finally enter the 3-lane battlefield where you and your adversaries push forward towards each other from your own side.
When battle starts your soldiers will automatically move, attack, defend, evade, cast spells, fire cannons, heal or act other ways in their turns based on their own basic stats while drawing upon the bonuses of the selected battle formation. The side that first eliminates all units of the other wins receiving gold, exp and random units as rewards. Game rules are simple; due to the wide options of units, several battle formations and in-depth development of both, the battle goes tactical quickly.
Diverse Units & Enemies
You start off with only one soldier, the warrior type but can unlock and win a full cast of mercenaries at your command as you progress in the campaign map. In your exploration for conquest, you will meet an increasing number of enemies, with new and stronger ones coming continuously, from the basic ghouls (warrior) and undead (assassin) to spectre towers (cannon) and phantom banshee (mage) to the various big and tough minion bosses at the last pass of each zone.
Accordingly, you will unlock and get unique and powerful mercenaries capable of dealing with them. Berserker, archer, crossbowman, shield, cavalry, sage and on – each unit type possesses its unique abilities such as global attack, double strike in one turn, pierce power dealing extra damage to units at the back, and teleportation to attack enemies not in the same lane. Based on the foundational attributes, moreover, the various units also have counteractive relation among themselves, entailing the wise choice of battle units to the battle group to effectively suppress enemies.
Different Battle Formation
With the arrival of every new soldier, you have better chance of exploiting the potential of each formation. You can find different types of formations including the Normal, Defense, Agility and more to be revealed in ClanCraft, which give you specific bonuses like fast move and extra critical attack. You receive battle formations in the gems-supported refinement feature and can freely dispatch your units in one type before battle. Constant use in battle levels up formations unlocking more slots.
Rich Unit & Formation Enhancement
First, unit development. You level up your soldiers not by battle but via off-battle training. Not the usual time-based type, training in ClanCraft is more of sacrifice-based combination as seen most in card games. You will win a lot low-level warriors of the same class from campaign and you can use some as "materials" to upgrade your favorites. Besides, you also gain soldier fragments by winning in battles that can be used to forge the Blue soldiers, the strongest with higher basic stats.
As for formation, you can socket gems and experience stones to refine the battle formation so as to gain greater bonuses.
Tie-in Building & Resources
Whether it is refining battle formation or training units, it consumes resources. And resources come from buildings and mines. Construction of a base is not full-fledged but more of a tie-in feature. In your own land you construct four types of structures to harvest gold, wood, iron and cloth respectively, which are required in large amount to enhance your battle team.
ClanCraft is free-to-play with optional micro-transaction. Besides gold, there is also a premium currency that helps create a more comfortable experience. Instead of waiting for slow generation of resources, you can directly purchase them for the Crystal. Also it gets you precious gems and stamina.
Social Interaction
You can make and add friends in ClanCraft and then visit their lands. When visiting a friend's, you can click his/her Goddess Totem there to infuse magic into it. That act benefits you both, recovering your stamina (required in exploration in the solo campaign) a little bit while rewarding your friend with resources.
During the current CBT, ClanCraft opens its land of Dios allowing you to conquer stages in the multiple zones with varying terrains, monsters and bosses. Battle is strategic and satisfactory for mid-core players with its rich soldiers, mobs and battle formations, while the diverse methods of enhancement make a fair role-playing and simulation experience. Still in beta version, ClanCraft doesn't reveal any of its multiplayer contents. But it's highly probable that there will be PvP features at launch and the overall development is on the right track.
ClanCraft is now running its 2nd CBT. If interested, just register at gogogogo.com and take an early look at it. The date of this phase will be wiped, though.

"The Thinker"
Pet Health and Safety Widget. Flash Player 9 is required.
Oh friends, thank you ! The Carolina Crew gave me a beautiful golden heart (Their Mama is one of my Aunties who drove me from Tennessee to Pennsylvania, 5 years ago !)
The family of Hershey, Annadee, Rafiki, Beautiful Angel, Benjamin and Zachary, In Loving Memory gave me a "Big Hugz" to celebrate my special day.
But... can we talk candidly? My past four Gotcha days have been beautiful, celebrations of love and family. This year's Gotcha day was different. I should have known.
For a few days now, the hard carriers have been out. I wasn't scared by the appearance of the carrier, it didn't come near me and I didn't go near it.
My day yesterday started with my being scooped up and having my nails clipped. (Which didn't do anything to make me feel special. Nuk and Sweets ended up having their nails clipped too)
After a long nap in a sun-puddle (a nap which was very relaxing and served to make me slow and groggy) I was scooped up again and taken into the bathroom. The pink carrier was also in the bathroom. As if the sight of the carrier was not enough to upset me, my family combed out my "floofy pants" and brushed me again. (There's been a lot of brushing going on here)
... and then I was put into the carrier and trapped !
I cried and tried to warn Nuk and Sweets that something bad was happening, but then I heard their cries and knew that they'd been captured too. I'm sure you can guess where this tale is heading.
Yes...Nuk and I were put in the backseat of the car and Sweets in her carrier rode up front on Mama's lap. We cried all during our ride to the vet. (and at one point Nuk was making "talking noises" and then I smelled FOOD !)
At the vet, there were big dogs sitting and waiting for their turns to be seen and to leave. We three stayed quiet, but watchful. Our names were called and we all followed a nice sounding lady into a different room.
After a lot (A. LOT) of human "blah-blah-blah'ing" Nuk was removed from his crate, (He scratched Papa across Papa's forehead and made him bleed) He scratched Mama a long line on her neck. The vet and her tech then weighed Nuk "examined" him and let him "free" in the room. There are not a lot of places to hide in an exam room, but Nuk found one (under a short, light bench)
I was next to be weighed and examined and I am proud to say that no-one body shamed me this year. There were no insults or thinly veiled scorn. I seem to have lost something called a "pound." In fact, Nuk and Sweets have lost some "pound" of their own.
When the vet and her tech had finished with their various, pushing, pulling, prying open, prodding "examination" of me, I was set free and immediately went to join Nuk under the bench.
Yes! Under the bench, we re-enacted my first day Gotcha moment, when I invaded Nuk's "undisclosed location" and sat with him. Under the exam room bench Nuk and I cowered, face to face. (and talked of secret things)
Sweets was finally subjected to same humiliating "examination" which she endured with a calm dignity, and when she was set "free" she wanted right back into her little carrier.
Horror of horrors, the security of the under-bench was shattered when the humans lifted one end and Nuk was taken away for the "Senior" part of his examination. He was gone a long time. I was starting to fret that I would share the same fate when again the bench was lifted.
Whatever a "senior" is, it is not I, for I was put back into my carrier.
Nuk finally returned to our room and the vet and her tech felt necessary to comment on how he was "he was a handful, he was difficult, he was bad."
Sweets was taken out of her carrier and taken away for her "senior" stuff. She returned being cradled in the arms of the vet tech and cooed at. We heard that the only difficulty with Sweets was that she didn't want to give up her urine. (Apparently part of being a senior is having your urine stolen - no wonder Nuk was rebellious ! I can only imagine what other terrors happen for seniors.)
A quick trip to the room with the dogs and big circle desk and we were all back in the car and going home.
It was good to be home again. We were all given our wet food treat meal and while I remained wary for most of the evening, no further misery was inflicted upon us.
You know what friends? I forgot that the start of April also means our yearly visit to our vet. I saw the carriers come out. I was cautious but not fearful. BIG mistake !!!
I did know something terrible was in store for me though when I got grabbed up and taken into the bathroom, where awaiting me were papertowels, and my floofy pants comb...
That's right. I was robbed in my own bathroom of my 'fluid of expression.' Any time that my tail is in the air, I will usually "express" myself. Combine 'air tail' with a floofy pants brushing and it's an absolute certainty that I will deliver an expressionist expression.
If that were the extent of my indignity this diary could end right here... but no, it gets worse. After the bathroom debacle, I was put into the green carrier. (why does Sweets get the pink one?) I started meowing my displeasure with my situation the moment the door was closed on the carrier. "I see what you did there" I meowed. "I know what this means. Let me out now and no grudges will be held. All will be forgiven." My cries of distress went unheeded.
I watched Sweets get bundled into her carrier and she joined me in our loud meowing protest!
I watched Nuk be captured and put into his harness. I laughed as his harness had to be adjusted (BIGGER) to fit around his chest.
I should not have laughed....
ALL the way to the vets Sweets and I alternately cried and looked as pitiful as we could through the spaces in our carriers. I would start the cry and Sweets would echo or the other way around. It was truly a cooperative girl-cat moment.
Finally at the vet's we sat for a little while in the 'waiting area' while people remarked on the big baby in his harness that was hiding his head behind Papa's back. Finally we were taken back into an exam room and the real fun began. Nuk gets to be examined first. (Once we're in our carriers Sweets and I are not so eager to come out again, until we're back home.) Nuk, knows how to turn himself into a rock. A rock doesn't do anything except sit there. It would seem that a rock doesn't mind to have his temperature taken, or to be weighed or have injections. A rock doesn't mind to be groped and stethoscoped.
While Nuk was being examined I let Papa coax me out from my carrier. BIG mistake! "Oh you're pretty" the vet said to me. "Such a pretty girl." Then she lifted me onto the scale and she grunted (as if I too were a rock. A heavy rock.) "Feels like this one doesn't miss any meals" she said about me. (and all the humans wickedly laughed at me...)
A laugh that wasn't really warranted. Out of the three of us, I am the only cat who has maintained her weight over the past year. Sure, I didn't lose any weight, but I also didn't GAIN.
The "rock" is the heaviest cat in the house now, but wasn't subjected to any derogatory comments about his weight (discrimination!) It was even pointed out that Nuk has a waist while I (apparently) do not.
I'm not a fan of having my feet off the ground (surface) and so each time I was picked up and transported to table, to scale, and back to table my little legs paddled helplessly in the air. More humiliating laughter from the humans.
The final verdict though is that we're all healthy but we have to start on the "moderate calorie" version of the food that Sweets (makes us all) eats. (At least *I* know that it's not *my* fault that we are being calorically downgraded.)
Blessedly the ride home always seems shorter than the ride *to* the vet. (and since Sweets and I had nothing further to protest) we were quiet all the way home.
I'm young. I'm amused by everything around me. Everything I see has the potential to be a toy. I'm also food obsessed. (I've been on restricted food for about a year and it's on my nerves)
I've found a way to combine these two things! When I want to eat... (which may be only 10 minutes after the last time I ate, or an hour later.) there are a few tactics I try. Cry, meow, be extra affectionate (in the hope of trading "love" for "food.") Try to trip any moving human or at least "herd" them to either where my daily food allotment is kept or where my sad and empty food bowl sits.
If these tactics do not procure me food (and the success rate of these tactics varies wildly) I have now learned that I can knock things off the coffee table. Oh, that tactic gets my family's attention quickly. (it does not however, often get me fed.)
The little cups that Ari gets his oats, groats or other extra protein delivered to him are perfect to start the "knock off" game.
Mama usually has a book (or two) on the coffee table as well and those are fun to either bite first and then push off the table, or just push off the table.
Any papers on the table are fun to send sailing to the floor.
The remotes are a little harder to push off the table, but with sufficient effort can be done (and you can be certain that one really gets Papa's attention.)
There's a pack of small batteries on the table too and those are best knocked off while also being on top of the table. Being on the floor and reaching up to knock the batteries off can result in the batteries hitting you in the head. (A very undesired consequence, that will get you laughed at.)
By evening, Mama has already picked up the things I've knocked off of the table during the daytime and thinks "it's Papa's turn." Papa usually picks up my knockings with a little laugh and a smile. "Who says, I don't have children?" he says or "children must play." He usually doesn't feed me either though, without first consulting the clock.
I bet if I could reach the clock and knock it off the speaker stand, I might have more success.

Live Scoring
MAUI, Hawai'i – No. 7 Washington is off to a hot start at the Anuenue Spring Break Classic, tying No. 8 Pepperdine for the first-round lead at 2-over 290. Kelli Bowers highlighted the day for the Dawgs, acing the 12th hole, while Ying Luo is tied for the individual lead.
"It was a decent day for us," said head coach Mary Lou Mulflur. "We didn't get off to a great start, but I was proud how they hung in there. It was very windy today so that made for tough conditions. I was thought they showed great effort. Ying finished really strong and overall I am pleased with the way we played."
The Dawgs and Waves are six strokes clear of the rest of the field with San Jose State currently third at 8-over.
Bowers ace came on the 165-yard 12th hole as a part of a round of 2-over 74. She sits in a tie for 12th with teammate SooBin Kim who also shot a 74. Kim had an up and down round that included four birdies, but also for bogeys and a double.
Luo had the Dawgs best round, making four birdies and two bogeys, on route to a 2-under 70. She is tied with Betty Chen of UC Davis and defending champion Grace Na of Pepperdine for the overall lead. Luo birdied three of her final seven holes to catapult of the leaderboard.
Also playing well and just two back of the lead is Jennifer Yang. Yang shot a round of even-par 70 and is tied for sixth place. She eagled the par-5 15th and added two other birdies.
Eimi Koga completed the Huskies lineup on Monday with a round of 7-over 79. Playing in her home state, Koga is tied for 52nd after the first round.
Washington will be back in action on Tuesday for the second round of the Anuenue Classic from Kapalua's Bay Course.
"Obviously we'll need to get off to a better start, but if we can do that we are in a good spot, said Mulflur."

White Sprint HTC EVO 4G shows up at Best Buy early. Latest Sprint EVO OTA update rooted
Remember those white Sprint HTC EVO 4Gs, that were exclusively promised to Best Buy for July 11th. Have you been waiting for one?
If so, we have some good news for you. Engadget reports, that white HTC EVO 4Gs started arriving to Best Buy whole five days early.
After all those delays HTC has been facing in delivering it's latest handsets, that's one welcome surprise.
Could it be that HTC is finally resolving those Samsung caused supply issues?
Nah. I don't think so. Most likely it's because of the biggish 4.3" display size. The demand for the big 4.3" AMOLEDs must be much lower, then for the most popular 3.5 and 3.7" display panels, so it's easier to fulfill. Continuos rolling 4 week delays for Verizon HTC Droid Incredible – is confirmation of that.
Another bit of good Sprint EVO 4G related news is, that the latest Sprint OTA update for HTC EVO 4G has been rooted. It's not as easy as earlier roots, and uses a Flash lite vulnerability in Evo 4G. But if you are stuck with the latest Sprint update, and still want to use that Wi-Fi Hotspot functionality for free – it might be worth jumping through some hoops.

About this seller
|Oct 29, 09 - The great temple of Venus and Rome, actually two temples that were back to back, the temple of Venus faced the Flavian ampitheatre and that of Rome overlooked the Forum, was designed by Hadrian himself. Construction began in 121 AD and and remained unfinished on Hadrian's death in 138 AD. Construction was finally completed in 141 AD under Antoninus Pius, the event celebrated by this coin. The temple would be destroyed by fire in 307 and later rebuilt by Maxentius, the remains of which can still be seen in Rome today.

As a community bank there's one simple philosophy that has guided us throughout our 70 plus years in the business, 'Hire good people, to run good banks, in good towns.' Even today, each market has its own President and team to manage their community bank. This autonomy gives each market a bank that's responsive to the needs of the community. A focus on what the community wants. Not on what we want to give them. That's our heritage. That's our path to the future. And that's the way banking should be.

Mailbag: The Redd-Randolph All-Stars
11th April 2011
Here's an idea sent my way courtesy of BBR reader Rob P.:
"Can you think of players who had excellent 'per-36-minute' stat lines on limited
minutes, and who either outperformed or seriously underperformed those 'per-36'
numbers once given an increase in minutes?
I'm a Celtics fan, so Glen Davis comes to mind as being a good example of
someone who produced close to their per-36 averages upon being given a larger
I'm curious about some of the extremes; players whose averages were seriously
impacted by an increase in minutes. Basically examples that make you think, 'it
was a bad idea to give this guy more minutes' OR 'I can't believe he's been
coming off the bench all this time instead of starting!'"
One of the big early battlegrounds of APBRmetrics was the philosophical debate between per-minute and per-game statistics. Per-game was the traditional standard, but analysts like John Hollinger began to tear that way of thinking down after realizing per-minute performance held over for most players who received more playing time. From Hollinger's seminal 2004-05 Pro Basketball Forecast:
"It's a pretty simple concept, but one that has largely escaped most NBA front offices: The idea that what a player does on a per-minute basis is far more important than his per-game stats. The latter tend to be influenced more by playing time than by the quality of play, yet remain the most common metric of player performance.
Unfortunately, many NBA execs and fans still believe that somebody can be a '20 minute player' -- that he's only useful in short stretches but can't play a full game. With the exception of the rare few who are scandalously out of shape (Oliver Miller, for example), this is profoundly untrue. [Michael] Redd was the perfect example -- he was thought of as a bench player simple because that's what he'd always been, but there was no reason he couldn't play 40 minutes a night. There's a supposition that some players' production will decrease with increased minutes, but within reason that's completely untrue. The first Prospectus emphatically proved this with research showing that most player's [sic] performance improves with greater playing time."
Hollinger's examples of predictable "breakouts" from per-minute stats included Redd, Zach Randolph, Carlos Boozer, and Andrei Kirilenko, all of whom held onto their low-MPG production when thrust into bigger roles. In fact, Hollinger featured Redd on the cover of his 2nd book as an example of a player with great per-minute stats who was underrated because of a lack of playing time.
So, to answer Rob's original question, and in honor of Hollinger's early per-minute darlings, here are the "Redd-Randolph All-Stars". To qualify, a player had to:
- play in the "Hollinger Era" (the 1990s, 2000s, or 2010s)
- play at least 41 games in back-to-back seasons
- play less than 24 MPG in the first of the back-to-back seasons, and more than 24 MPG in the second
- see an increase of at least 7 MPG between the two seasons
Of that group (which included 320 players since 1990), I'll list 3 top-5 lists: players who improved their PERs the most when given increased playing time, players whose PERs were the closest to what they had been before when given increased playing time, and players whose PERs declined the most with an increase in PT. This will capture all of the possible extremes Rob mentioned, plus the Hollinger prototype of players whose PERs didn't change at all.

Every year the hottest artists light up the stage on football's biggest night, from Beyonce to the Rolling Stones, and who can forget that Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction? This year's show starred the ever popular Bruno Mars and...the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Sometimes contrasting styles come together in perfect harmony, but this year may have left a few people wandering to the fridge for more beer, disappointed by the combination of talent chosen.
The performance did get off to a good start with Bruno Mars, who opened the show with a choir of kids singing Millionaire. The lights then came over Mars who appeared on a rider playing drums as he glided over to the main stage. Looking like a modern Ritchie Valens, Mars and his band were energetic and kept things upbeat with a fun medley of hits, from Locked out of Heaven to Treasure and Just the Way You Are.
Into the middle Mars started into Give It Away before being joined by the Chili Peppers, who came out shirtless and awkwardly finished out their own song. If they had only let Bruno fly solo, this show might have kept a few more fans on the couch. Try to do better next year, NFL.

Ben Roethlisberger has built quite an impressive legacy as a Steeler. Ben has always been a personal favorite of mine. Why? Because aside from the two sexual assault incidents, the guy is a great role model. And to be fair, he probably did not do anything without consent. I'm sure alcohol was involved and when that happens, things happen. But that's neither here nor there.
The 10-year anniversary of the Pittsburgh Steelers drafting Ben recently passed. The Miami of Ohio product has come a long way as a Steeler, a man, and an NFL player. Roethlisberger is a first ballot Hall of Famer.
Share and Enjoy
Ben Roethlisberger is coming off one of the most productive seasons of his career. Antonio Brown has proven himself one of the league's elite receivers as well as a great playmaker on special teams.
With the Pittsburgh Steelers and Emmanuel Sanders looking at parting ways this off season, Big Ben is going to need a quality receiver to take his place. Jerricho Cotchery led the Steelers in touchdown receptions this past season with 10. In the process, he had one of the best seasons of his career and proved himself a viable option. He should remain one if the Steelers don't let him leave via free agency.

Week 17 Recap: Fresh Out Of Miracles
The picture above is of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Ryan Succop. Or, as he'll be forever known in the Steel City, the Most Hated Man In Pittsburgh. You have ONE JOB, assclown. Although I suppose there is some poetry to the season ending because of a spectacular special teams FAIL.
On a side note, only the Pittsburgh Steelers could get screwed over by the referees in a game they weren't even playing. Even worse, they got jobbed TWICE. That's some superior trolling by Roger Goodell. Bring back the replacement refs!
As you may have noticed, I have yet to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns. That's because it was the epitome of a forgettable game. Yeah, the Black and Gold had to win to keep their slim playoff chances alive but there was little doubt they'd do that. Beyond the easy W, there was little of note beyond some personal statistical goals and perhaps the chance to see Steeler legends (Troy Polamalu, Bret Keisel) play their final game at Heinz Field.

Welcome back. I hope everybody had a great Christmas. If you're anything like me, I'm sure it included at least one piece of Pittsburgh Steelers related swag. At this point, I think I have more Black and Gold related dvds than NFL Films.
With time running out in both the year 2013 and the 2013 NFL season, I think we should pick up where we left off on Monday. Thanks to an improbable set of circumstances last Sunday, the Steelers are still mathematically alive for the AFC Playoffs. In order for them to leapfrog three teams and earn the second Wild Card slot, there are only three games we need to keep an eye on. Continue reading »

Week 16 Recap: Die Another Day
Talk about living a charmed life. In my preview for yesterday's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers, I ended by wondering what would happen if the Steelers' slim playoff hopes were already extinguished by kickoff. Well, not only did every single domino fall their way in the early games, the New England Patriots did them a solid by hammering the Baltimore Ravens later in the afternoon. Yes, ladies and gentleman, the Black and Gold are still mathematically alive for the AFC Playoffs.
It's a Christmas Miracle.
Of course, it would've all been moot had the Steelers not taken care of business by defeating the Packers. Their 38-31 victory was a wild affair featuring a little bit of everything: good offense, good defense, weather porn, special teams trickeration, a heart-stopping finish, and crooked referees doing their best to screw Pittsburgh over. It was the football version of a WWE wrestling match. And in the end, the good guys won. Continue reading »

When the Pittsburgh Steelers take to the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon to face the Green Bay Packers, their slim playoff hopes may have already been dashed. Unless the Dolphins lose to the Bills and the Jets beat the Browns earlier in the day, the last two games of the season will officially be meaningless. Which is probably for the best because a high draft pick is more important to the Steelers future than a pointless Wild Card game anyway. Not that a playoff game is likely with the improbable set of dominoes which must fall in precise order to get the Black and Gold into the post-season.
I tried explaining the AFC's playoff scenario earlier this week. I'll try to sum it up again briefly. Basically, Miami's head to head victory means the Steelers cannot overtake them. However, the rules for breaking a tie between 3 or more teams state that first you match division foes up with each other and eliminate teams until each division is only represented by one team. Then you start the process over again with the remaining teams. That's why the Jets must win out – if they end the season tied with Miami (and us), they do us the favor of eliminating them by virtue of a better division record just like we do the Ravens.
Like I said, improbable to say the least. Meanwhile, our Super Bowl XLV opponents, the Packers, are in a far less complicated playoff battle of their own. They need this game every bit as much as we do. Although they'll be going into the game without their biggest gun. Continue reading »

Week 15 Recap: Well, It's The
Bengals Bungles
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas…
The Pittsburgh Steelers laid a mighty whuppin' on the Cincinnati Bengals, temporarily keeping their slim playoff hopes alive with a 30-20 victory on Sunday Night Football. The final score doesn't accurately reflect how one-sided this game actually was. The Black and Gold roared out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter and basically coasted the rest of the way. Meanwhile, Cincy never seemed to get on track, repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot with mistakes or ill-timed penalties. As Cris Collinsworth, a former Bungle, said after one of their players got flagged for taunting down while down 20 points, "Well, it's the Bengals." Continue reading »

Misery loves company.
That was Bill Cowher's famous rallying cry the last time the Pittsburgh Steelers were eliminated from playoff contention with weeks left in their season. The final game of Coach Cowher's legendary Steelers career came against this week's same opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals. In that game, the Steelers had nothing to play for but Cincy needed a win in order to qualify for the post season. Thanks to an overtime touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Santonio Holmes, the Chin walked off the field one final time as a winner.
The Steelers can't knock the Bungles out of the playoffs on Sunday night. Cincy has the AFC North well in hand with an eye toward maybe even getting one of those first round byes. And the Steelers aren't technically eliminated from the playoffs, although it would take a nearly miraculous series of events for them to back-door into the Wild Card game. However, it's still Cincinnati-Pittsburgh so you know both sides are going to play hard. Continue reading »

Week 14 Recap: Close But No
Cigar Playoffs
As the first half came to an end in yesterday's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins, the Fins attempted an insane 52 yard field goal on the snow covered field into the notorious open end of the stadium. Predictably, the kick fell about ten yards short where Troy Polamalu caught it on the fly. Troy being Troy, he immediately took off running in an attempt to recreate Auburn-Alabama. After one of several laterals was miraculously caught by Ike Taylor, he decided not to tempt fate and fell on the ball rather than attempt a lateral of his own. It was one of the greatest meaningless plays I've ever seen.
Until the final play of the game.
After a failed fourth down conversion handed Miami a first down on the Steelers 9, the Dolphins milked the clock, ultimately settling for a field goal with a minute left. Three plays later, the Steelers were reduced to a desperate game of hook and lateral that ended when Antonio Brown some how broke free down the sideline and ran untouched for what looked to be a miraculous go-ahead touchdown. Unfortunately, AB's pinky toe just nipped the sideline on his way to the end zone, thus preserving Miami's 34-28 victory. Continue reading »

Know Thy Enemy: Miami Dolphins
The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Miami Dolphins this Sunday at Heinz Field. Ordinarily, I'd begin this preview by trying to come up with some compelling reasons to get fired up for the game. In this case, hype really isn't necessary. For the Steelers' razor thin playoff hopes to live another week, they quite simply must win on Sunday.
Miami is currently one of the two remaining 6-6 teams in the AFC. I know I've been saying all along that the AFC's second Wild Card might be 8-8 and I still believe that. With four games remaining, can anybody confidently predict ANY of the AFC teams in the hunt will run the table? Regardless whether that second Wild Card is 8-8 or 9-7, the last playoff spot is almost certainly going to come down to tiebreakers. Which is why the Steelers must beat the Dolphins – if they lose they can possibly make up the game in the standings but they will never be able to make up the tiebreaker. Continue reading »

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
In a meet that was tied throughout the night, the No. 4 Alabama gymnastics team beat No. 3 Florida by a score of 197.675-197.400 in front of 12,301 roaring fans in Coleman Coliseum Friday. It was a season-best mark for the Crimson Tide.
"This is what the coaching staff has anticipated," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. "I feel like our ladies learned that even through adversity and challenges and shifting our lineup around that they can compete with anyone in the country."
With the win, Alabama goes to 8-3-0 on the year and 6-1-0 in Southeastern Conference competition while extending its home winning streak, which dates back to midway through the 2009 season, to 43-0-0. The Gators, undefeated coming into the meet, go to 7-1-0 overall and 5-1-0 in the SEC.
"I wanted our team to see that we are as good as everyone else if we just continue down this path," Patterson said. "I believed it, but I wanted them to see it for themselves."
The meet was knotted 148.250-148.250 after three rotations, but Alabama closed out the meet and the Gators with a 49.425 on the floor exercise led by huge back-to-back 9.95 routines from seniors Kim Jacob and Diandra Milliner while the Gators finished the night with a 49.150 on the balance beam.
"It's what I practice every day," Milliner said of her last routine. "It would be kind of ridiculous to start worrying at that point because I know how to do it and if I start worrying it probably would have gotten tighter and wouldn't have been as good."
Freshman Aja Sims got the Tide's floor rotation going by tying her career best of 9.875 while sophomore Lauren Beers scored a 9.85 and freshman Amanda Jetter posted a 9.8 to put the meet in the hands of the Tide's senior All-Americans.
"It was really exciting," Milliner said of the deafening sound that came from Alabama's fans after she finished her routine. "I just love hearing the crowd cheer that loud. There's no other place like Coleman Coliseum."
Alabama won the meet despite being without one of its top all-arounders, senior All-American Sarah DeMeo, who is working her way back after a hard fall in practice prior to last week's Perfect 10 Challenge.
"With some of the adversity that we've had this season - we lost Kayla Williams and then we didn't have Sarah DeMeo, one of our top all-arounders, again tonight - I just felt like going head-to-head tonight in this great environment would show our ladies just how far we've come over the season."
Led by a trio of 9.9 or better routines, Alabama started the night with a 49.425 on the vault paced by sophomore Lauren Beers' 9.925 and 9.9s from Milliner and sophomore Kaitlyn Clark. The Tide followed that with its second highest uneven bars total of the season, a 49.425, behind 9.925s from Jacob and Jetter and a 9.9 from Clark.
Paced by a career-best 9.925 from Clark, her third 9.9 or better score of the night, Alabama scored a season-best 49.400 on the balance beam. Milliner got the rotation started with a 9.875 while Sims added a 9.9.
"It definitely came together for me tonight," Clark said. "We definitely worked on finding that .025 of a point all week and I think my whole team definitely showed it tonight."
The Tide remains at home for its next two meets, facing Stanford on March 7 and Auburn on March 14, both at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available now through the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262) located in the lobby of Coleman Coliseum or online at RollTide.com.
Fans can keep up with the Tide via Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube by following BamaGymnastics.

6. Jeep Wrangler SportCost to own: $22,045
Cost to rent: $95/day
Suggested Activity: Outdoor adventuring
Guys looking to "just get out there" this summer would be hard-pressed to find a more capable vehicle than a Jeep Wrangler. The world's first and most formidable off-roader, the classic Jeep can traverse any terrain with ease, allowing those with a penchant for the outdoors to get beyond the family-friendly tourist spots.

The title of bag designer may sound like "quickly designing a bag and then letting everyone else do the work," but here at the Nœrd Pole, it means creatively working your fingers to the bone. Robots and machines could cut unique bags from tarps, but a unique bag is not necessarily a unique beautiful bag. We need LARA for that part. She creates every single bag by using her template and knife to cut the most lovely and exquisite designs from the tarps.
It's no walk in the park, especially in the pre-F-Mas rush, but LARA still managed to take a bit of time out for you and wishes you a most hearty:
Merry F-Mas!

Dear friends,
We are truly excited to announce our University of Birmingham Hollaback Campaign. The possibility for this campaign is HUGE. It isn't right that Birmingham students are experiencing street harassment whilst on campus, in lectures, in halls, at union bars and in club nights. We will highlight the problem, record incidents, empower people to hollaback, join with other campaigns and organisations at the university, and make changes.
This Friday 19th October, the campaign will officially launch at the University of Birmingham (UoB) campus.
It is the right time, as there is tremendous momentum at the UoB to tackle this issue. The Guild has recently been accredited by the NUS as a 'Zero Tolerance to Sexual Harassment Union' in response to recent national NUS research that found 68% of respondents have been a victim of one or more kinds of sexual harassment on campus during their time as a student. Harassment is defined by the Guild 'a pattern of behaviour that is unwelcome and has the effect of violating a person's dignity or of creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for them'. Street harassment is all of these things. We are meeting with Katherine East, the Vice President of Welfare, to raise awareness that street harassment is a pervasive form of gender based harassment and should be covered by the Zero Tolerance policy. This will give our campaign official backing, with real muscle. It also means the start of a zero tolerance approach in any union area, of leering, shouting, grabbing, touching etc – how fantastic would that be.
The UoB Women's Association is currently discussing street harassment as an important issue. We are meeting with some great women from the group on Friday who already do presentations and discussions about the subject. We hope to join forces and spread the message around the university through workshops and talks.
We are hoping to meet with the LGBTQ soc to get their members' thoughts on the campaign and how we can tackle gendered street harassment at university from every experience and angle.
THIS ISN'T ALL. We are also taking part in a workshop with MP Stella Creasy, who is leading a Campaigns Workshop on campus from 6pm – 8pm. It is specifically calling for an end to violence against women and girls. The workshop is to help people improve leadership and campaigning skills in order to run local campaigns to stop violence. Stella Creasy is a Labour MP who, to quote our American Hollaback sisters – is pretty badass. This is her twitter . The workshop is in conjunction with national charity, Women's Aid.
Hollaback Birmingham is only as good as the people involved and we need your help to drive this campaign forward! If you've experienced any street harassment on or off campus please share your experience here – it is only through gathering stories that we will have a powerful argument against street harassment and be able to influence policy and behaviour.
We'd love to hear from anyone who would like to get involved. We need a wide cross section of skills to achieve more. Any amount of time you can spare is appreciated.
There is so much I want to tell you…Those with a greater attention pan should read on.
Moving on….
*The UoB has set up a Harassment Advice Service; it is great to have such a set up which not all universities provide.
They say: "Harassment Advisers are dedicated to making the University of Birmingham a safe and positive environment in which to work and study."
*UoB also have a Harassment and Bullying policy, read it here.
* Zero Policy accreditation is part of a nationwide NUS (National Union of Students) Zero Tolerance Campaign which launched last year.
They say: "The principle behind the Zero Tolerance Campaign is simple. We're asking you to stand up and say that sexual harassment is not tolerated in your union, or at your union events. By becoming a Zero Tolerance Union you can help tackle the high levels of sexual harassment in our institutions, and you can help end the culture of acceptability that leaves such behaviour unchallenged."
*The NUS published a report in 2010 called Hidden Marks, which launched the Zero Policy Campaign.
About: "Hidden Marks is the first ever nationwide report into women students' experience of harassment, stalking, violence and sexual assault. The report documents the findings of a survey carried out by the National Union of Students exploring the prevalence and nature of violence against women students. The UK-wide study provides a snapshot of the experiences of women students today. It includes information about how likely women students are to experience harassment and violence, the extent to which they report these crimes, and to whom, the profile of offenders, and the impact of such incidences on women students' health, relationships and education."
*Hidden Marks' Key findings:
*1 in 7 survey respondents has experienced a serious physical or sexual assault during their time as a student;
*12% have been stalked while at university or college;
*68% of respondents have been a victim of one or more kinds of sexual harassment on campus during their time as a student;
*16% of respondents have experienced unwanted kissing, touching or molesting during their time as a student;
*More than 1 in 10 has been a victim of serious physical violence;
*Students were the majority of perpetrators in most categories (except physical violence where 48% of offenders were students);
*In the majority of cases in all incident categories surveyed, the perpetrator was known to the victim;
*In the incident categories for which relevant data is available, the majority of perpetrators were male (89% for stalking and 73% for physical violence)
*Only 4% of women students who have been seriously sexually assaulted have reported it to their institution;
*Only 10% of women students who have been seriously sexually assaulted have reported it to the police;
*Of those who did not report serious sexual assault to the police, 50% said it was because they felt ashamed or embarrassed, and 43% because thought they would be blamed for what happened.

All things Mother Earth Living

LED bulbs, lead, arsenic, California, cancer
LED light bulbs contain lead, arsenic and a dozen other potentially hazardous substances, according to a recent study published by University of California researchers, Green Building News reports.
"LEDs are touted as the next generation of lighting. But as we try to find better products that do not deplete energy resources or contribute to global warming, we have to be vigilant about the toxicity hazards of those marketed as replacements," said Oladele Ogunseitan, chair of UC Irvine's Department of Population Health and Disease Prevention, who led the study. Lead, arsenic and other metals discovered in the bulbs have been linked to cancers, neurological damage, kidney disease, hypertension, skin rashes and other illnesses.
The researchers found that low-intensity red Christmas string lights contained up to eight times the amount of lead allowed under California law. White bulbs contained the least lead but had high nickel levels. "We find the low-intensity red LEDs exhibit significant cancer and noncancer potentials due to the high content of arsenic and lead," the team reported in Environmental Science & Technology.
The team's study of overhead room lighting and bedside lamps is undergoing peer-review and will be published later, but Ogunseitan said the patterns are more of the same.
"I am very passionate about energy efficiency, and I think LEDs are a step in the right direction, but we should be very careful not to add to the toxicity risks that are already almost overwhelming for people and the environment from consumer products disposal," Ogunseitan said. "I hope that we still have time before the lighting bulb regulation takes effect, to encourage manufacturers of LEDs to use materials that will not put the burden on consumers to avoid toxic exposures or to figure out how to dispose of hazardous waste generated by LEDs."
If you break an LED bulb, Ogunseitan recommends sweeping it with a special broom while wearing gloves and a mask.

{sweet as a peach} baby shower (33 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This party started out themeless (that's a word, right?!). I worked with the sister of the sweet mother-to-be to put it all together. Basically we started off with a color scheme of coral and teal because those are the colors for the nursery. I already had a lot of the things we needed to decorate the party, I just had to spray paint them.
The candelabra we used to hold the trail mix cups was something that I had bought a year ago and was just sittting in my basement all yellow and yucky. I gave it new life with a fresh coat of coral spray paint and the fruit/nut cups from Pick Your Plum fit PERFECTLY in it. Since the cups weren't the right color, I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a cupcake wrapper and I just fit it around the cup and glued it.
I also gave my make shift pastry pedestal holder a makeover by spray painting it (for the 4th time! it started off brown and has been many colors since!). I then torn strips of coral/peach/demask fabric and tied it around the circle part of the pastry pedestal and added a teal circle (cut to size by my silhouette cameo). I had ordered some coral straws to fit over the stick part of the pedestal but they didn't arrive on time. We were at the zoo with my family 2 days before the shower and the restaurant there had white paper straws. So they let me have 12! I'm glad I got white ones because the coral straws would have been just too much coral with the holder being coral and the fabrics.
The framed letters were what make this party shine. I already had these frames left over from my own daughter's nursery. The frames are from my favorite frame company, Wild Sorbet! All I had to do was put some fabric behind the frame and some cardboard. Then I bought the letters to spell out the baby's name from Hobby Lobby using different fonts and sizes. And yes, I could have bought a normal 'a' but I thought the '@' was so much fun to throw in there! Hanging the frames was nothing short of rigged. Completely rigged. But it stayed strong during the whole party, even when my 4 year old was poking at them making them swing back and forth!
The table cloth was left over from the Hello Kitty party I did for my daughter the month before. I simply added some coral strips of fabric to the ends to spruce it up a bit.
Now for where the peach theme came into play for this shower....I bought baskets from Target (in the dollar section at the front) not having a clue how I was going to use them for the party but the liner matched perfectly to the tablecloth so I knew we had to use them. I had thought about white mums but it still just didn't seem right. When I asked Candace, the girl helping throw the shower, about what she thought, she said "maybe peaches?" YES! Perfect! It was the right color and we could fill the baskets and put them on the guest tables. So then I decided to tie the peaches theme in a little more by adding peaches to the trial mix cups, and to top the beautiful cupcakes (made by Candace) and on the tags. It worked out perfect because although we wanted to go with more of a color theme it was also nice to have the peaches there too. It just added so much to the party (and it made the room smell great!)
The straws were made by my sweet Cameo machine and I simply hot glued them onto the straws. I cut about an inch off the straw to make it look better with the size of our canning jar cups. Again, I just torn fabric and tied it around the cups just like I did with the pastry pedestal.
All in all we did this shower on a tight budget. I would say we spent a total of $130 and that includes the food. We made all the food ourselves and that saved a ton!

ACLU: Why 'Redskins' Is Wrong
The American Civil Liberties Union is adding its voice to those urging the Washington Redskins to change the team name
In a piece titled "Why 'Redskins' Is Wrong" published on the ACLU's blog on Monday, ACLU attorney Stephen Pevar likens the team's name to racist slurs against Jews, Asians, and African-Americans.
"The ACLU is a champion of free speech. The issue here isn't whether Dan Snyder, the owner of the Washington Redskins has a right to call his team anything he wants. He does," writes Mr. Pevar. "The issue is whether he should perpetuate racism."
A Redskins spokesman referred Law Blog to an Oct. 9 letter that Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder wrote to fans addressing the controversy. Mr. Snyder said his team's name is a symbol of "strength, courage, pride, and respect." He cited a 2004 Annenberg Public Policy Center survey that found that 90% of Native Americans aren't offended by the Redskins name.

"Never apologize. It is a sign of weakness." Captain Nathan Bittle spoke those famous words. Bittle was actually John Wayne in the 1949 movie "She wore a yellow ribbon."
Someone else today might be thinking about John Wayne's wisdom today.
Who might that be?
It would be Rush Limbaugh.
Yesterday he apologized over the faux Sandra Fluke controversy. The left is now looking at it as a sign of weakness, even to the point of one leftist trying to get the FCC to force Limbaugh off the air.
The Constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishments only stops the government from doing those things. If there were a complete ban, there would never be another Maureen Dowd column.
I misread a tweet earlier today and thought that she had come to Rush Limbaugh's defense, so I read her column. We are all attracted to freaks of nature, which explains why anyone reads her column. Her column was not a defense of Rush, but more of her typical rantings.
The difference between Maureen Dowd and someone in a persistent vegetative state is that the person in the persistent vegetative state has some glimmer of hope for future brain activity.
Dowd whines about what Limbaugh has said about her, yet with the same breath calls him variations of the same thing that Limbaugh called Sandra Flake.
Flake's 'testimony' was the most bizarre exercise in left wing feminist victimization creative writing that we have seen in a long time. Flake is allegedly a law student whose testimony was full of unattributed hearsay. The Rules of Evidence for court exist to limit testimony to evidence that can be considered reliable. Congress has no rule like that because if they did, Democrats would never be able to offer another witness to testify. The good news is we would never have to endure another brain-dead celebrity prattling on about some subject they obviously know nothing about.
Most congressional testimony is under oath. Fortunately for most Democrat witnesses, the only people who get prosecuted for perjury to Congress now are former major league baseball stars.
Fluke's 'testimony' was better suited for a creative writing contest. Her tome included a veritable cast of characters, all from the mind of a politically correct feminazi. She had a lesbian, a rape victim and a poor heterosexual married woman. Her diversity character generator was working overtime. The only one she seems to have missed would have been a quadriplegic Hispanic transvestite who was a victim of domestic abuse.
The left is going nuts with Limbaugh's apology. They believe they can now force him from the air. Ultimately this is the truth of liberalism. They cannot stand a dissenting voice. No one may dare disagree with them.
Rush Limbaugh succeeded because he offered ideas and people wanted to hear him. Maureen Dowd succeeded by…. well actually she has not succeeded. Who in the hell cares what she has to say?
No one.
If Twitter is any guide to go by, the sponsors who dropped Rush Limbaugh are going to regret it because his supporters are already making notes and planning to no longer use those services. Carbonite may be the first and most prominent advertiser to lose for dumping Rush Limbaugh.
Meanwhile, I'm calling a lawyer friend of mine to see if I can sue the New York Times for violating my rights against cruel and unusual punishments by inflicting Maureen Dowd on the nation.

Cliff, good point. We should all be listening to Rush today, and call in to him or email him with our support.
I listen to him every single morning and I did send him an e-mail of support. I had a feeling that he would open his show with some good comic relief today and he did ....by joking that he was trying to place a call to to ban "Two If By Tea ", and that he kept getting a busy signal ! : ) I love Rush !!! Always have. Always will.
Leave it to Rush to come up with that one.
Lets give the liberals hell.
Rush's apology was not really an apology for what he said, only for the words he chose with which to say it. He could have said it better but that does not change the meaning. The apology was a business decision, nothing more.
J. Andrew, I agree. Rush did not apologize for the "meat" of what he actually said, only for the way he chose to express it. He said that by choosing the words he did, he distracted from the real issue, and made it that his choice of words were the focus, as opposed to the point he was trying to make. While I don't think he should have apologized, I can see his point.
Pamela Geller, the great conservative counter-jihad blogger, has the very latest on this topic. Her blog will make your jaw drop, and will make you want to take action, if you have not already. Here is the link:
I especially appreciated Pamela pointing out the hypocrisy of Carbonite's CEO.
Thanks for sharing this, American Infidel.
Here is a list of ones that dropped Rush I do not have their E-Mails but they should not be hard to find.
Here is the list, lets start the calls, Also lets show our support for Rush on his Face Book page.

Rob ....Thanks so much for posting this. I am writing to these cowardly traitors who caved into the radical left hypocrits with their disgusting double standards !
Also sent a letter of support to Rush while listening to his show this morning.
Some good news to announce about Carbonite. Their stock dropped 12%. Well they wanted to teach us a lesson so maybe they should keep dropping. Is life not grand??
Write Rush and tell him that he has made himself vunerable to the evil that runs this nation - find out which sponsers dumped him and contact them, tell them that you will no longer do business with them.

- This hair is soooooo Beautiful. It is so soft to touch. This hair looks very natural. I just put it in last night and I look gorgeous!! I flat ironed and then pincurled. I took my pins out this morning and it's so bouncy and has a natural shine. I have experienced hair from many different companies and this is by far the best.

DJ Qualls is back as Garth in "Supernatural" season 9 episode 12, "Sharp Teeth," for which the CW released promotional photos on Monday, Jan. 27.
In this upcoming "SPN" episode, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) go to check on Garth upon learning he is in the hospital, and still feeling guilty about what happened to Kevin, Dean lays into him about disappearing and wants to know where he's been. Garth makes an excuse and runs away from the brothers. Confused, Sam and Dean investigate and are stunned by what they find, as you can see in the promo the CW has already released.
The "Sharp Teeth" photos in the slideshow offer a look at what's going on at that farm Garth seems to be living at now and with the "family" he seems to have found in the time he had been missing. But obviously something is up with this "family of friendly monsters," as it's put in the promo, and it looks like Sam's going to be in some trouble.
"Supernatural" season 9 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on the CW. "Sharp Teeth" was written by Adam Glass and directed by John Showalter. What do you think of these episode 12 photos?

White Nokia Lumia 800 will arrive in Switzerland in mid-February
Looks like the rumors were true, and Nokia is indeed preparing to launch more Lumia 800 colors. Back in December, we told you that this would happen, and now the white Lumia 800 is getting ready to be launched next month.
MobileZone, a Swiss mobile phone retailer, told a customer inquiring about the white Nokia Lumia 800 that it would indeed sell that model starting in mid-February. That said, Swisscom, the country's biggest carrier, apparently said it won't be stocking any colors other than black and cyan.
Further confirming the white Lumia 800's existence and imminent launch is a thread over at XDA Developers, where a member played with his "app that browses Nokia firmwares" and found… you guessed it, a white Lumia 800 headed to Switzerland. So it's pretty much settled.
What isn't clear is how soon the white Lumia 800 will reach other countries and territories (since it would be quite illogical for it only to be sold in one country). Stay tuned though and we'll let you know when we find out more.

Scam artists are getting more brazen about trying to trick Publishers Clearing House fans out of their money. And the Dalton Police Department (DPD) reports those criminals now want to meet their victims in person rather than asking for a bank credit card number over the phone, according to WTVC Channel 9 News on April 8, 2014.
The latest scam effort is likely the result of the Publishers Prize Patrol team members Danielle Lam and Dave Sayer doing everything they can on social media to educate their fans about the kinds of PCH scams to watch out for right now. Thus the criminals are changing their modus operandi (MO). Instead of asking for money to be sent to them via mail, they now want to show up at the victim's home like the Prize Patrol do. But they want to collect money, not give it.
The Daily Citizen News reported that one man was told that after he loaded $850 onto a Walmart gift card he could expect a visit from a PCH "representative" with his prize, and that the rep would show up with a Brinks truck in tow and a police escort. That's supposed to make the person feel "safe" about the big money delivery and cash pickup, obviously. But it is not how the real company operates. And you can be assured that the Dalton Police Department and other law enforcement agencies are not present when Publishers hands out their real checks to their sweepstakes winners.
They don't have to be, because no one ever knows in advance when PCH's Prize Patrol team will show up at their door with balloons, roses and a great Big Check. In fact, the most recent winner found that out when she was visiting relatives in another state last month as Danielle, Dave and Todd sought to deliver her a big cash prize at her home in Oregon.
Publishers is set to give away $7,000 a week for life in their April 30 giveaway this month, so criminals see it as an opportune time to try and fool the sweepstakes company's fans on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere. They use a lot of different ruses, typically telling a person contacted by phone or online that they have won a prize, but they will need to pay taxes in advance of getting the money. This latest scam revision to meet the victim in person is more troubling, as it could lead to more than financial victimization.
You don't ever have to pay taxes or fees for Publishers Clearing House prizes in advance of getting them. You don't do that with any sweepstakes win. But people who have never won such a prize this way before are more likely to not know that information. And that is what the criminal is counting on as PCH continues to promote their big SuperPrize this month.
No one is exempt from such a contact, including yours truly, who just received an email from someone claiming to be "Danielle Lam of the PCH Prize Patrol team" on April 8, replete with a NY contact phone number (not to PCH, of course) and an email address. I will not bore you with the alleged communication from the fictional Ms. Lam, but in the one in a billion chance that it is true, then Danielle, just post me a message on your real Danielle Lam PCH Prize Patrol Facebook page, and then (only then) will I give you a ring at the number you gave me.
The Atlanta Top News Examiner Radell Smith has a degree in criminal justice and behavioral forensics. And she hopes PCH decides to come to her house in Georgia this month, so she can write all about it. But PCH scammers need not even try, as she is on a first-name basis with local police.
