At E3 2014, Ubisoft brought the grand unveiling of Far Cry 4's main protagonist and antagonist. Now as we stare down the Nov. 18 launch date, new details about what narrative we'll face are starting to emerge.
The firm has stated that some characters from the previous iteration will be making appearances throughout Far Cry 4, but now we know who will not be coming back. Far Cry 4 Creative Director Alex Hutchinson talked about characters we will and will not see.
"Ajay was born in Kyrat, and although he was raised in America, his name is known by most people in the country. He is the son of a famous Kyrati freedom fighter, so his name carries weight, and he is back in some ways to deal with his family's legacy in the region. Some Far Cry 3 characters will be making an appearance, but not Jason Brody," Hutchinson said.
From what we've heard from Ubisoft so far, Far Cry 4 will feature a narrative that aims more at making players uncomfortable through an apparent association between Pagan Min and Ajay. They know each other and Pagan seems to want to draw him closer into his world, as the trailer we saw at E3 suggested.
Far Cry 4 has also embellished upon the outposts we found in Far Cry 3, among other features. It sounds like Ubisoft is really trying to harness all of the great things they did with Far Cry 3, and make them that much better in Far Cry 4. Hutchinson detailed what he thought was the most unusual feature in the upcoming open-world sequel.
"The wing suit is indeed back, so Ajay will know how to do it, but that's probably the most unusual or 'extreme' feature in the game. We've tried to include a lot more local, exotic elements and vehicles like the Tuk Tuk and the elephant this time round," Hutchinson said.
Far Cry 4 will launch on Nov. 18 for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. Stay tuned for plenty of more details soon.
Thanks, Redbull!

There's a whole lot going on, culturally speaking, in the viral video of dance pro Marquese "NONSTOP" Scott dancing to the dubstep remix of Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks." So the Fine Brothers called in their "Kids React" panel of pop culture experts (aged 5-12, roughly) to comment on the video. Most seemed impressed by Scott's slow-motion moves, and to our surprise, a couple of them were able to actually the style of music being played as "dubstep." (Though other guesses include "alien music," "robot music," and "futuristic robot gummy bears.") One kid—who will undoubtedly go on to be one of the tastemakers of his middle-school class—has even heard of Skrillex before, having heard "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites." In the words of James Murphy, the kids are coming up from behind.

Adult birds show little fear of humans. In fact, in spring and summer when nesting begins, they have been known to pluck hairs from human heads to line their nest.
Cedar Waxwings form flocks of anywhere from 30 to 100. In rare cases, up to 1,000 have been found flocked together.
They are very polite when they eat. They eat in shifts. One group feeds first then moves out of the way as the next group comes in. This is the exact opposite of most birds, who may flock together to find food, but will compete vigorously once the food is found.

As the world continues to digest the now failed Western coup of the duly elected government in Ukraine, Russia waits patiently for the final moves of their extraordinary plan to fall into place. In fact, not only was the covert operation to overthrow the Ukrainian government by the U.S. and NATO fully expected by Vladimir Putin, but according to economist Dr. Jim Willie on April 4, Ukraine was a clever trap set to both disparage the West, and to allow the global monetary collapse to heighten to the point where all of Eastern Europe would beg to join Russia's new dream of a Eurasian Trade Zone.
The backlash to the widely approved USFed hyper monetary inflation policy has finally come. The global fallout has included higher food prices, higher business cost structure in every nation, shuttered businesses, and profound economic deterioration, which has resulted in widespread capital destruction. The entire Eastern world is demanding an end to the debasement of USD-based assets and reserves, along with the harmful influence to lift cost structures everywhere. The world demands a viable solution. It is coming. It will shake the world.
As the rape and pillage is continued in orchestration by the USGovt security agencies, the European Soros gangsters, and the Blackstone thugs, all Eastern European nations will be watching closely. They will wish to escape the scourge of the Anglo-Americans, their French tyrant poodles, the Big Oil firm plunderers, and the Attila the Hun lookalikes. The contamination of the water tables in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, and Poland might turn the tide. The trap has been set, but it cannot spring shut to trap the Western pirates without the passage of time. - Jim Willie, Golden Jackass
The U.S. is a failing empire, who like the Romans over a millennia ago, relied upon military application to pillage foreign countries of their wealth to sustain their supremacy. The world has seen this time and time again over the past decade from the U.S. when the agendas of American foreign policy have led to nearly a dozen undeclared wars and covert operations, with the final results being the looting of central bank gold in nations such as Iraq, Libya, and now, Ukraine.
In fact, the U.S. is no longer just relying upon the invasion or subversion of 'enemy' nations to justify their pillaging of wealth and gold resources. In a shocking turn of events, which throws away over 40 years of mutual alliance and protection of the Petro-Dollar, American and British central banks are currently confiscating gold from Saudi Arabia, which assuredly puts the final nail in the reserve currency agreement which tied the dollar to global oil and commodity sales.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is a shrewd politician who is using the weaknesses of the West, and their own foreign policies, to alienate them from a world that once saw America as the bastion of freedom, and Russia as the Evil Empire. And as Ukraine plunges into a spiraling economic collapse with little Western support to stop it, the world is reminded of similar instances that occurred in Egypt, Iraq, and Syria after U.S. funded revolutions resulted in massive economic chaos for these nations. In the meantime, President Putin is simply waiting for the inevitable outcome of his clever trap, and continuing to build the infrastructure of his Eurasian Trade Zone which will very likely be the next global economic system to replace the Petro-Dollar once it finally implodes.

Cyrano de Bergerac
by Edmond Rostand
Cyrano de Bergerac Theme of Art and Culture
Cyrano de Bergerac is steeped in the history and culture of 17th-century France. Though the playwright lived more than two hundred years after this era, he goes to great pains to make it as faithful to the time as possible. His text is littered with references to real historical figures, artists, thinkers, philosophers, teachers, actors, and writers. The play both honors and mocks the frippery of the French court in its constant allusions to The Three Musketeers, the most famous novel written about this time period.
Questions About Art and Culture
- What is the effect of the cultural and historical allusions in Cyrano de Bergerac? How does it affect the way we view the play?
- Does Rostand uphold or mock French ideals in his Three Musketeers allusions? Could it be possible that he's doing both, or does that just sound like crazy talk?
- What literary or historical figures is Cyrano compared to? How does this shape how we view his character?
Chew on This
In depicting Cyrano as a hero and Christian as a martyr, Rostand ultimately approves of and honors the ideals of 17th-century France in his play.
In depicting Comte de Guiche as vengeful and the minor characters as vain, Rostand mocks the ideals of 17th-century France.

Foreign Investors Trade Dollars For U.S. Residency
Obtaining a U.S. visa can be pretty straightforward if you have $500,000. The EB-5 program grants foreigners permanent residency if they invest $500,000 in an American business and create at least 10 jobs. Despite its success, critics say the program pushes the rich to the front of the immigration line.

Game of the week
(4) TCU at (6) Utah
Saturday, 1:30 p.m., CBS C
Simply the biggest football game — on a national scale — to be played in the great state of Utah.
Quick read
Boise, say aloha to Hawaii
HONOLULU — While Boise State and Nevada have grabbed the spotlight this season, another Western Athletic Conference school is quietly racking up wins.
Hawaii (7-2, 5-0 WAC) has breezed through its competition in the past six weeks, with the closest game a six-point win against Nevada, and surprisingly given itself a shot at stealing the conference title from the No. 2 Broncos in a season where the Warriors were predicted to finish near the bottom of the league.
"I think we're peaking right now. I think it's a good time for us," Warriors coach Greg McMackin said.
The confident and Hawaii Bowl-bound Warriors will see exactly how far they've come when they face heavily favored Boise State on the road Saturday.
"There's a lot at stake on this game for both teams. That's the way you want it," McMackin said. "You want to get in a situation like this. That's what it's all about."
The matchup is the biggest in McMackin's three seasons at Hawaii. But he insists there's more pressure on the Broncos (7-0, 3-0), who are chasing another perfect season and a national title.
"They probably have more to lose than we have because they're looking at the national stage," McMackin said. "We've already got our bowl taken care of. We're looking for the WAC championship, and they are, too."
The Warriors, who have won six straight by an average margin of 30 points, are largely known for a high-octane offense that leads the nation in passing. But it's their aggressive defense that has given them new life and success this year.
Hawaii ranks second in the nation behind Oregon with 24 takeaways, including 21 in the past six games.
"It's us playing as a team — playing as one now," said safety Mana Silva, who has five interceptions, giving him 12 for his career, one shy of a school record.

The Williamson County Sheriff's Office has three Deputies who are certified by the State of Illinois as Crash Reconstruction Specialists. These Reconstruction Specialists, or Accident Reconstruction Officers (ARO's) investigate traffic crashes that cause serious injury or death.
Two of our ARO's are also certified by the State of Illinois in Road Safety Analysis. This allows them to identify areas of roadway that have been particularly hazardous, and to work with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the National Highway and Transportation and Safety Administration, and the county Highway Engineer to determine what steps to take to make that area less dangerous for drivers. Possible solutions include increased signage to alert motorists of risks, clearing trees and vegetation to allow more line-of-sight distance at intersections, or even changing the roadway to shave the height of hill crests and increase the radius of curves.

Dr. Mehmet Oz welcomed Howard Stern's sidekick, Robin Quivers, on the Aug. 14 episode of the Dr. Oz Show. Quivers discussed how she healed herself from endometrial cancer with the help of a vegan diet, which also aided her recent 80-pound weight loss.
Quivers went public with her cancer on Howard Stern's radio show in September 2013 after recovering from treatment, which included an eight-hour surgery in 2012 to remove a grapefruit-sized tumor from her uterus.
Robin, who's usually open about everything, kept her cancer a secret from fans for a year and quietly worked from home during recovery.
Quivers, 62, overcame her endometrial cancer with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Robin also said a vegan diet healed her cancer and aided her 80-pound weight loss. She detailed her remarkable recovery in her book, The Vegucation of Robin.
Robin told Dr. Oz she first realized something was wrong when she wasn't able to pee during a weekend away from home. When she went to see the doctor, she was very quickly diagnosed with endometrial cancer.
Symptoms of endometrial cancer include vaginal bleeding after menopause, bleeding between periods, pelvic pain and painful intercourse. It's unclear exactly what causes endometrial cancer, which affects the lining of the uterus. Risk factors include hormone imbalance, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Quivers said she was lucky that her longtime colleague and friend, Howard Stern, was so supportive during her cancer treatment and recovery.
Robin, who had been overweight all her life, previously revealed that she had a family history of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. She was certain she too would fall prey to poor health in middle age, but said adopting a vegan diet completely changed her life.
"My plant-based diet was helping my body heal," Quivers wrote in her book. "I couldn't believe the difference I saw. I'd never had such a dramatic shift in my health — not when I was taking medication, not when I was wearing a neck brace, and certainly not when I was eating whatever I wanted. I no longer had to rearrange my entire life around being sick."
Quivers is now well and has been given a clean bill of health. "I feel fantastic," said Robin.

9 pictures of abandoned and derelict London that will astonish you
16:28 28 March 2014
London is a throbbing, vivacious city, bursting at the seams with activity - but you wouldn't know from these fascinating shots of its neglected underbelly.
Millennium Mills, West Silvertown, east London
A 20th century flour mill not far from the Thames Barrier. Its overbearing presence in this image makes you question how it's survived east London "regeneration" of late - and doubt whether it will.
Typewriter, Deptford
This raises lots of questions, not least whether it actually is a decaying typewriter or something more deliberate.
Warehouse, Isle of Dogs
So, about that "constant use"...
Feltham Arena, west London
This space used to be where Feltham FC played their matches, believe it or not.
Schwarzenegger's gym, Forest Gate, east London
The Austrian weightlifter turned Californian governor trained here in the '60s. Now look at the place.
Plumstead, south east London
In a derelict industry estate not far from Woolwich lies this disused telephone box, turned an unfamiliar colour.
Sports pavillion, Isleworth
Once the stand at the Centaur's Rugby Ground in Osterley saw sport, now it watches the grass grow.
The company who own the land this is built on went bust mid-demolition, leaving a sad and gutted monument to their financial ruin. Its contrast to the flats on the left, apparently a new build, is stark.
Paul Talling is to thank for all of the photography and much of the accompanying information. More about his work can be found at derelictlondon.com.

Does Natural Gas Need to Push Back for a Little While?
Rod David
Recent range's characteristics suggest its rally has bitten off more than it can chew for now.
The following are the latest daily summaries of my ongoing intraday coverage, providing context to interpret price action. Any prices listed are for a contract's current "front month." Their direction tends to correlate with any ETFs listed for each.
Today's Highlight:
Has natural gas's blowout blown itself out? Fluctuating widely between two relevant levels during a brief window -- after a sizable, brief rally -- is fomenting the likelihood for a corrective dip.
Dollar Basket
Mar Contract DX; (NYSEARCA:UUP), (NYSEARCA:UDN)
Extending its bounce Thursday tested 80.45 resistance that must hold to launch a new downleg targeting 79.80.
Mar Contract EC; (NYSEARCA:FXE)
Room for extending the dip down to 1.3700 was tested and retested Thursday morning, now needing no further delay to resume the prior decline if a retest of the highs can be avoided.
Apr Contract GC; (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Despite extending down overnight from Wednesday's relatively muted reaction to the FOMC minutes, Thursday's session only ranged narrowly around its shallower opening gap down. The "ineffectual pessimism" makes any initial strength Friday likely to extend higher intraday.
Mar Contract SI; (NYSEARCA:SLV)
Gapping down only slightly Thursday and ranging narrowly sideways held 21.65 support, whose break would suggest a deeper pullback underway targeting 20.70.
30-year Treasury
Mar Contract US; (NYSEARCA:TLT)
The reaction down from attacking 134-00 extended Thursday back to 132-12, which had triggered the original buy signal. The proximity to a gap outstanding below at 132-08 makes any recovery premature if not yet filling the gap to neutralize its attraction below.
Crude Oil
Apr Contract CL; (NYSEARCA:USO)
Still ranging around 103.00 as the front-month rolls from March to April. Two consecutive higher closes already confirmed a third eventual higher close outstanding, but resistance at 103.00 suggests a dip back toward 101.00 may precede fresh highs.
Natural Gas
Mar Contract NG; (NYSEARCA:UNG), (NYSEARCA:UNL)
Surging overnight to a fresh high at 6.40 from 5.89 was retraced to 5.89 intraday. That also produced a bounce, albeit to 6.30. Maintaining the rally's momentum and avoiding a corrective dip to 5.55 requires holding 6.03-6.06 as support.

Link: Dead Metal
Developer: HeroInteractive
Genre: Shooter
FlashMush Rating: 8/10
One of the big dogs in flash games just came out with a new game; Dead Metal. Borrowing heavily from the very successful Bubble Tanks series engine comes a game...quite similar to Bubble Tanks, go figure.
In fact if you've played Bubble Tanks 1 or 2 you pretty much know this game...except a tad more constricted. Where as in Bubble Tanks you are confined to bubbles but can leave those bubbles to venture deeper or as far as you want, in Dead Metal you're confined to essentially what is one bubble. The game also plays much like Bubble Tanks. You control one ship, against waves of enemies of varying sizes and weapon uses, you also then collect scrap metal much like you would collect bubbles in Bubble Tank. Now I know I'm comparing this game heavily to Bubble Tanks and while it is justifiable I will say a disclaimer. This isn't a bad thing. Bubble Tanks is one of my favorite games and I'm loving that this game plays so closely to it as it's almost like another extension of the series. But I do wish the game took the Bubble Tanks engine and made it more unique as you can see so many of the fundamental gameplay mechanisms seem straight out ported from Bubble Tanks.
What makes this even worse is the fact that this game is almost like a poor man's Bubble Tanks. There is an upgrade system which is great but it's very linear and limited. Basically you can only upgrade your ship which is in nice increments of various prices. No upgrade tree like in Bubble Tanks or even custom ship design...which in a game called Dead Metal I would sort of have liked that and feel it would have gone with the name theme very well. The only real difference between Dead Metal and Bubble Tanks aside from aesthetics is that in Dead Metal you have a linear storyline and in Bubble Tanks it's free roam basically.
Now let's get to the aesthetics. Dead Metal is a gorgeous game. The graphics are amazing and very detailed. The characters are as well and everything has a nice sheen of detail and you can just tell a lot of hard work went into it. So it's a shame really that Dead Metal is already falling into the shadow cast by it's big brother Bubble Tanks.

Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa and Joe Giudice are facing prison time after they pleaded guilty to extensive fraud charges. According to former business partner and friend, Joe Mastropole, no matter how many years they spend in jail it won't be enough for him.
Mastropole said, "A few years in jail is not enough. The time is not enough for the crime." In March the Giudices pleaded guilty to multiple counts of mail, wife, bank and bankruptcy fraud. Teresa Giudice faces 27 years in prison while her husband Joe Giudice faces 47 years behind bars.
Mastropole is a construction executive who won a $260,000 court judgment in 2011 has yet to see any money. He won his judgment when Joe Giudice was found guilty of forging Mastropole's signature on a mortgage document. Giudice also owed Mastropole a $420,902.60 real estate debt however that sum was swept away during Giudice's bankruptcy case.
Mastropole went on to say that if they get lenient sentences others will be encouraged to commit similar crimes. "People will be willing to do a few years in jail for $13 million." Mastropole added that the courts should "make an example out of these swindlers so other people don't try to do the same thing."
The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars are scheduled to be sentenced on July 8.

GERMANY: GM Europe insists PSA Peugeot Citroen alliance "cast in stone" as merger rumours fly
By Simon Warburton | 10 January 2013
GM Europe and PSA have distanced themselves from speculation the French automaker could buy GM's Opel/Vauxhall, with Russelsheim insisting the GM/PSA commercial alliance is "cast in stone."
Reports in France suggested PSA - which yesterday (9 January) posted plummeting vehicle sales last year down 16.5% to slightly less than 3m units - could table an offer for Opel - but the GM unit firmly rebutted such claims.
"Our official statement is this is pure speculation and nothing else," a GM Europe spokesman in Russelsheim told just-auto. "We just - prior to Christmas - announced the next step where we said we have signed definitive agreements for both purchasing and product developments so this has all been cast in stone.
"We have also said we would look into additional opportunities including engines, so we are in fact expanding it [the alliance]."
PSA has endured a torrid week with rumour after rumour circulating in France it could either merge with Opel or dispose of part of its stake in the component manufacturer Faurecia in which it holds a 57% stake.
That, coupled with the grim sales numbers posted yesterday - partly as a result of severely testing European economic conditions and the ending of completely knocked down (CKD) car exports to Iran - has sent the rumour mill into overdrive - and, although PSA's Paris HQ continued to refute the speculation, it stopped short of issuing a total rejection.
"We have no comments on the Opel rumours," a PSA spokeswoman in Paris told just-auto this morning.

The untimely death of the Ultimate Warrior and the eeriness of how it came after a chilling speech given on Monday Night RAW has all but been overlooked due to the controversy surrounding CNN host Nancy Grace and her coverage of the event.
Grace took to the airwaves on her HLN show and blasted the sport of professional wrestling and all those associated with it calling most everyone involved "steroid and drug abusers" going so far as to call the tragic death of Owen Hart, who fell from the rafters at Kemper Arena and broke his neck after hitting he head on the turnbuckle as he fell from 30 feet up, drug related.
Former world champion Diamond Dallas Page was scheduled as a guest on Grace's show and said later he felt "ambushed."
"I was asked to go on her show and talk about Warrior the man. I was even given bullet points from her producers about the topics we would discuss. After seeing the topics which were pretty basic," DDP said. "However, it's clear I was ambushed."
Grace never allowed DDP to talk about Warrior as he knew him and the man he was but instead stayed clearly focused on the steroid issue.
Steroids and professional wrestling have a long history and a number of wrestlers have died prematurely from heart attacks brought on by the use or over-use of steroids and some had other substance abuse issues that contributed to their death.
Fans and wrestlers alike acted swiftly to take action against Grace going so far as to create a petition to have her removed from the air. Grace is known for taking a subject and interjecting her opinion on the matter without having a basic knowledge of the issue at hand nor having the facts to back her individual consensus.
While the Nancy Grace aspect of the death of the Ultimate Warrior is slowly starting to subside the reality of another of wrestling's great stars taking the final ten count is starting to set in for many.
Former champion Boris Zhukov said of the incidents, "I just ache for his family. Just a beautiful wife and daughters and I was just so glad to see Warrior happy. You could just see how much they all loved and adored each other. Then the other night that idiot Nancy Grace, the vulture attacks Warrior and the wrestling business. I just hope and pray she and the other vultures will leave Warrior's wife and children alone. Shame on her."
According to sources the WWE has sent two top level executives to Arizona to help Warrior's widow, Dana, with whatever tasks she may need assistance with from planning the funeral to contacting relatives to day-to-day activities including grocery shopping. The WWE will also have a tribute to the Warrior on Monday Night RAW on April 14, 2014.
The death of The Warrior shocked and saddened fans and the wrestling community alike. Those close to The Warrior said he had been in good spirits of late but yet there was something amiss, he had been getting winded and was moving and acting like a man struggling within himself to figure out what was wrong. Then the eerie speech on RAW had many wondering if The Warrior knew his time on earth was limited.
"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat, his lungs breathe their final breath and if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit will be immortalized," Warrior stated.
And then...he was gone, back to parts unknown.

OXFORD City Council leader Bob Price has said it would have been a 'disaster' for the city if Andrew Smith had lost the Labour seat.
Speaking at Oxford Town Hall ahead of the election result for the Oxford East constituency, Mr Price said Lib Dem challenger Steve Goddard had not proved he could deliver for ordinary people.
Mr Price said: "It was very tight. Clearly, there had been a very significant student vote which probably went slightly against Labour, but from the boxes I saw there was a very good vote for Andrew across the city.
"I think it would have been a disaster for Oxford if Andrew lost, because he has been a magnificent MP for the city."

Jacket Auctions Bob Zafian to Ryan Carey, July 27, 2013, upon learning
the whereabouts of 1934 & 36 Masters Champion Horton Smiths
Original Green
Thats all that needed to be said.
You see, almost every Masters Champions Green Jacket was accounted for; well,
all but arguably the most coveted of them all the Green Jacket from the very
first Masters Champ, Horton Smith.
Tracking down Green Jackets has become a passion here at Green Jacket Auctions.
But when it came to Horton Smiths Green Jacket, its not that the trail went
cold, its that it never even started. Augusta National didnt have it. The
World Golf Hall of Fame didnt either. In fact, no one we spoke with ever even
recalled hearing about it or seeing it save for a couple dusty old photos of
Horton wearing it. Soon, our quest to locate and catalog the whereabouts of
every Green Jacket seemed destined for failure. We began to worry that Horton
Smiths jacket may no longer even exist. After all, to many in the 1940s, 50s
and even later, it was simply a jacket a commemorative garment given for
golfing prowess many years before. That garment didnt become The Green Jacket
until decades later. Even in 1975, at the Green Jacket ceremony for the great
Jack Nicklaus, the garment was simply referred to as the green coat
exemplifying its lack of reverence even then.
The Story
Without further ado, we present
Horton Smiths Masters Green Jacket, complete with family provenance.
As it turns out, Horton Smiths Green Jacket was with his family just not the
family we expected. When Horton Smith passed away in 1963, the bulk of his
estate, including his Green Jacket, passed to his brother Ren Smith. When Ren
passed away, Rens 2nd wife inherited the jacket, which she later left to her
two sons, who still own the Green Jacket today. Now, since the jacket has just
been sitting in a closet for many years, the owners would prefer to sell the jacket and see it
find a fitting home in a museum or with one of our collectors.
The "Original 10"
National first awarded the Green Jacket to Masters
Champions in 1949, beginning with Sam Snead, and at the same time retroactively awarded
jackets to the 9
former Masters Champs that had won the Masters from 1934-1948, including Horton Smith.
Those jackets are affectionately referred to as the "Original 10".
The offered jacket is that exact Green Jacket that was awarded to Horton Smith
in 1949 - the only one of the "Original 10" Green Jackets to ever be offered for
public sale.
Condition/Notes: The
jacket is in exceptional overall condition, with no important condition issues
to note. Jacket is a two-button single breasted model. Size 43L, Model 357X jacket. Two smooth brass
buttons on front of jacket, and single smooth brass button on each cuff. Amalgamated Workers 1949 Series tag. No manufacturer is
listed, though this is consistent with other known early Green Jackets that are
attributed to Brooks Uniform Co. Augusta National Golf Club & former Chairman
Clifford Roberts have both been quoted as stating that these original 1949 Green
Jackets were produced by Brooks Uniform Co.
Once believed to be lost forever, the offered original 1949 jacket is not only the supreme
Masters Champion Green Jacket ever offered publicly for sale, but it comes with
impeccable family provenance and unquestionable title of ownership. It goes
without saying that no "new" Green Jackets can be expected to enter the hobby
any time soon. Or ever.

Rocket Stove Experiment @ SCI | May 8, 2009
SCI decided to go off the grid for lunch today and test out the Rocket Stove loaned to us by our premiere Brazil advocate, Irene Perbal.
A few twigs was all it took...
A quesadilla for Rene.
Popcorn had to be popped, of course.
It popped right on out of it's pot after only a couple of minutes.
And of course some tea, which also brewed up in a jiffy.
Yay, Rocket Stove!! Our next project is to make one of our own.
Solar Cooking @ Google | May 5, 2009
On April 22nd, SCI put on a solar cooking demonstration at the GooglePlex in Mt. View, CA. Three staff and a handful of Board Members, loyal associates and solar cooking advocates came together to demonstrate a variety of solar cookers and water pasteurization devices. The Google crowd, not surprisingly, was full of intelligent and technical questions, and impressed at the simplicity of the solar cooking and water pasteurization techniques on display this sunny day.
Various parabolics, panel cookers, box cookers, and fuel-efficient stove technologies were represented.
The Villager Sun Oven, as usual, attracted people due to it's impressive size (not to mention delicious and irresistible cookies).
Posters and display boards explained how solar cookers work and provided illustrations of work in the field.
Star Board Member, Pat McArdle and Google rep. Mark Aubin made it possible for SCI to participate in Earth Day at Google.
Board Member Michael Mora cooked up some tasty cookies in the SOS Sport Oven (right).
SCI's Patricia and Rene prepare for the masses.
Pat explains the inventive Sunny Cooker ~ a parabolic donated donated to SCI by the Japan Solar Energy Educational Association that folds down to umbrella size.
SCI's Karyn Ellis enjoys a solar-cooked treat at the Chili table.
Interested Google techies take phone photos ~ hopefully for a Twitter update!
Karyn Ellis and Pat McArdle fraternize in between demo talks.
Patricia explains solar cooking procedures to Google staff.
SCI's former Executive Director, Bev Blum demonstrates how the CooKit panel cooker is used.
SCI Board Member Gini Mitchem explains the fundamentals of solar cooking.
A three-cheese pizza cooking in the Tulsi Hybrid Solar Cooker.
Allart Ligtenberg tells Google staff of his experiences in Nepal, and with his own backpack-cooker trekking up many a mountain.
Paul and Chris Munson travel around the country towing the large and impressive Village Sun Oven behind their SUV.
Popping popcorn on the intricate Prometheus parabolic cooker.
Sun Ovens cooking in front of their big brother, the Villager.
Gini and Michael speak with our host, Mark Aubin of Google.
We got quite the tour after the demonstration was over ~ Google seems like an interesting and 'happy' place to work, judging from all the relaxed and smiling employees on the lush and ample Google campus. We hope to work with Google again!

Coach Mora addresses media after Sunday's practice
Holmes, Abbott after ninth day of camp
The Bruin football team held a single practice on Sunday afternoon in full pads. Please note that Tuesday's practice start time will now be at 8:30 a.m. Continue to check the website for practice time changes / updates.
Sunday's practice featured plenty of team work with the offense going against the defense. On offense, running backs Johnathan Franklin and Damien Thigpen broke loose for long runs. Cornerback Aaron Hester had a key interception for the defense.
Coach Mora mentioned that he liked the depth at some positions and that the team would need it given the tempo the offense will play at. He indicated that there were still good competitions going on at several positions, including right offensive tackle, safety and defensive end. Freshman Ka'imi Fairbairn connected on several long field goals in the kicking period which ended the session, including one from 55 yards out. Colby Cyburt and Torian White continued to make progress along the offensive line. Malcolm Jones and Joseph Fauria returned to full practice mode.
In some NFL preseason notes --- WR Matt Willis caught three balls for 43 yards for the Broncos; Kahlil Bell ran six times for 11 yards for the Bears; Justin Medlock booted a 48-yard field goal for Carolina; Brendon Ayanbadejo had four stops and an interception for the Ravens; Taylor Embree caught two passes for the Chargers; Chris Horton made his debut with the NY Giants; Akeem Ayers and Alterraun Verner each started for the Titans.
If you cannot make it out to San Bernardino to check out the Bruins, make plans to be on campus in Westwood on Saturday, August 18 for a Meet the Bruins Day in Drake Stadium from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. Fans will be able to get autographs and photos of the players and coaches, food trucks will be on site and there will be a Kids Zone and more.
UCLA opens the 2012 football season on the road with a game against Rice on August 30 (6:30 p.m. CT/4:30 p.m. PT). The Bruins then return home to the Rose Bowl for three straight games --- Nebraska (Sept. 8, 4:30 p.m.), Houston (Sept. 15, 7:30 p.m.) and Oregon State (Sept. 22, time TBA). For ticket information call 310-UCLA-WIN.
Fans heading to Cal State San Bernardino (5500 University Parkway, San Bernardino, CA 92407) should plan on bringing their own chairs, as there are no bleachers around the practice fields. Parking ($5 daily charge) can be secured at the parking kiosk off the Coyote Drive entrance to the university or at the blue automated kiosks in the lot. Plenty of parking is available in lots (Lot G is closest to field) within a short walk of the practice site located on the east side of the campus. Shade is limited, so come prepared to deal with the heat and sun.

Carolina Panthers (6-9) at New Orleans Saints (7-8)
Kickoff: Noon, Sunday. Mercedes-Benz Superdome
Coaches: Saints' Joe Vitt (5-4 as interim coach, 9-11 in career), Panthers' Ron Rivera (12-19 in two seasons)
TV: Fox-8
Radio: 870-AM, 105.3-FM and 830-AM (Spanish)
Offense-passing-rushing Defense-pass-rush
Saints: 3-2-24 32-31-29
Panthers: 17-17-10 8-8-15
Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo tried as best as he could to help defend his beat-up cornerback after Patrick Robinson had all sorts of trouble defending Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, who caught two 58-yard touchdown catches in last week's 34-31 loss to the Saints in Dallas.
"We gave him a tough chore, covering No. 88 (Bryant last Sunday)," Spagnuolo said. "I should have helped him more with some calls, rolling over there a little bit more. We did a little more of that in the second half. I was trying to mix it up early to give Tony Romo some different looks and I left Patrick out there on his own and that's a tough duty against a really good football player. I don't want people to think that Patrick let anybody down. I thought, overall, he did a really good job. There are two key third-and-3 downs where he made plays. In the overtime, they go right to their guy and Patrick makes a play."
Robinson's primary assignment each week has been to defend the opponent's top receiving threat. So it's highly likely Robinson will match up with the Panthers' Steve Smith, who historically has found plenty of success against the Saints. So Robinson can go out on a high note if he can shake off last week's tough outing.
Despite Newton's run-in with an official last week, the Panthers have won three consecutive games and four of their last five as Newton has seemingly broken out of his mid-season funk. Newton has thrown 10 touchdown passes compared to only one interception in the last five games, as well as four rushing scores during that span.
"When he's in the gun, he can fake a ball, run out on the perimeter and they can throw it back to him," interim coach Joe Vitt said. "There's a lot of things that they do that you see just twice a year. The naked off the zone read, option off the zone read and then they're going to come with an unbalanced package, an attack all over package and the pistol package. It's challenging. You spend extra time. Your players have to look at extra film. It's a challenge. They run the offense through Cam Newton. He has world-class athleticism. He can beat you with his legs quicker than anything, but he's got a strong arm and can find the open receiver. He's a tall guy that can see the field and has great vision."
Vitt was serving the second game of his six-game suspension thanks to the Saints bounty program and missed the last time Newton faced the Saints. It wasn't pretty for the defense as the Panthers scored the most points they have all season in Carolina's 35-27 win in Week 2. Newton racked up his highest completion percentage (70 percent) and quarterback rating (129.2), along with his third-best rushing output (70 yards, one TD).
The former Bucs nickel cornerback has found a nice niche with the Saints during the second half of the season after being on and off the roster much of the first half. Mack has filled in at nickel cornerback for Corey White, and could start in place of the concussed Jabari Greer on Sunday against Carolina. Mack's most memorable play occurred against the New York Giants as his 73-yard interception return for a touchdown gave the Saints their only lead of that game.
"I think he's really defined himself as real good slot corner for us in the nickel," Vitt said. "He plays with good anticipation, he has good twitch on the ball. And so I think his growth has been real good this year."
This strategy could be the "wash, rinse, repeat" game plan of the season: keep Drew Brees clean. Brees eluded all of the Cowboys' pass rushers last week in the Saints' win in Dallas. As a result, Brees threw for 446 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions while completing nearly 70 percent of his passes.
In another rather obvious game plan note, the Saints need to try to contain Newton. He leads the Panthers in passing yards and rushing yards despite two high-priced running backs - DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart - in the backfield. The Saints have had little success against dual-threat quarterbacks as New Orleans has only beaten Michael Vick with losses to Newton, Robert Griffin III and Colin Kaepernick this season.
The pressure from the Panthers certainly hindered Brees in Week 2, in particular when Brees threw a pick-six with a defend hanging on him early in the game. Carolina possesses one of the better pass-rushing pairs in the NFL as defensive ends Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson each have double-digit sack totals. Hardy hasn't practiced all week because of a family issue, but Rivera said Hardy will play Sunday. With Johnson already a known pass rusher and Hardy having his best season, tackles Jermon Bushrod and Zach Strief will have to be on high alert facing the Panthers' duo.
4 - Consecutive Pro Bowls Saints guard Jahri Evans has been named to since 2009.
19 - Seasons the Saints would finish with a .500 record or better in franchise history if they beat Carolina.
143 - Difference of rushing yards between Cam Newton, Carolina's leading rusher, and Saints leading rusher Mark Ingram.
280 - Yards the Saints' defense will have to hold Carolina to Sunday to not break the record for worst single-season total defense in NFL history.
304 - Passing yards Brees would need against Carolina to pass Dan Marino's former single-season passing yardage mark of 5,084 yards.
"I haven't thought about Super Bowl week a whole lot. Again, it's what we all hope for. It's what we all wanted, more than anything. There is that period of time at the end of every season where you go through that couple of weeks, my wife calls it the re-introductory phase into society, where you leave the routine and just everything that the season is and you're realizing that the season is over and that kind of thing. Then you're somewhat over it after three weeks or so and then all of a sudden the Super Bowl is going to be here and you're going to be like 'we should be here, we should be practicing right now, we should be getting ready to go win this thing.' It's always disappointing, regardless of where it is but especially when it's in your hometown." - Drew Brees on if it will be strange for him when the Super Bowl comes to New Orleans

Rib-eye grilled over mesquite with vermouth and oyster jus
You Gotta Have Faithby Lesley Balla | Photography by Andrea Bricco | Angeleno magazine | June 5, 2014
An earthquake hit the first night Faith & Flower had guests in for dinner. I was there, and once the tall WaterMarke Tower stopped swaying, along with the glistening chandeliers and drop-down light fixtures, the entire room erupted into applause. I knew the outburst was meant for the surprise quake that hit on a packed Friday night, but it could have easily been for the stylish yet comfortable velvet booths, the cocktails served in unique cut-glass tumblers or the board of stunning mignardises that arrived at the table for dessert. You get the picture: This place is ready to shake things up.
At a time when every restaurant seems to have reclaimed-wood everything, kitchen-towel napkins and barnyard-chic flair, Faith & Flower stands out. It's both opulent and warm, as inviting a destination for a casual pizza and a few Negronis as it is for a full extravagant meal (think expertly grilled rib-eye with plump Kumamoto oysters in the jus and a $1,500 bottle of wine). That seems pretty well-suited for this busy corner blocks away from L.A. Live.
What was once a very cold-looking, very large dining room, now has dark woods around the bar; a long, butterscotch-colored velvet banquette down the dining room; and funky art lining the hallway. Chandeliers drip and sparkle over an oyster bar, and feathers and mirrors hang along the wall. For all of its contrasting textures and effects, it works.
Most of that success can be attributed to the fact that owners Stephane Bombet, David A. Bernahl II and Robert Weakley are consummate diners and hosts themselves. Bernahl and Weakley's Coastal Luxury Management created the glitzy Pebble Beach Food & Wine and Los Angeles Food & Wine festivals, as well as three restaurants: Restaurant 1833 and Cannery Row Brewery in Monterey, and Rose.Rabbit.Lie. in Las Vegas. There's hardly a restaurant they haven't dined in across the country, mostly in recruiting efforts for their events, so they know what they like. They also knew what L.A. was lacking: fine dining that isn't stuffy or contrived, just fun and malleable, so the diner can create whatever experience he or she wants.
It's difficult to really put Executive Chef Michael Hung's menu into any one category. It's eclectic, for sure, with everything from deviled eggs to wood-oven pizzas to whole tai snapper roasted in kelp. Some might see this as all over the map, or trying to please everyone at once, but I say as long as the execution is there, go for it. Hung worked throughout kitchens in San Francisco, including Jardiniere and La Folie, and was even part of the culinary team that helped make Pixar's Ratatouille seem so real. He's talented enough to pull it off.
Hung puts his spin on classics, like kimchee and chilies on deviled eggs, or kombu seaweed and miso cream on steak tartare. And he really knows how to amp up the decadence level on everything. Handmade pastas are wonderful, especially the oxtail-stuffed agnolotti smothered in bone-marrow butter with beef tendon chicharrones sprinkled on for texture. We couldn't figure out what made something as simple as fresh English peas and beets so incredibly creamy and flavorful: creme fraiche, of course. We'd eat that country ham gravy (which comes with bacon-wrapped tenderloin) with biscuits any day—with anything, really. And the sturgeon, a meaty fish you rarely see on L.A. menus, was cooked perfectly and draped with pickled mustard seeds to set off its natural richness.
Don't dismiss the pizzas; there's a reason they're there, and her name is Michelle Minori. Having spent a couple of years at San Francisco's Flour + Water, most noted for its whole-grain breads and pizzas, the sous chef has created incredible pies here. On one visit, my friend and I devoured the mushroom and fennel confit pizza, the dough springy and delicious with its toppings. The most extreme is an eggs Benedict pizza with bacon, spinach and hollandaise, to which I'll just say: Yes.
As you might imagine, desserts are just as showstopping. Overseeing the program is an alum from French Laundry, which is just one of Pastry Chef Ben Spungin's culinary credits, and he's doing wonders with things like peaks of chocolate cremeux sprinkled with peanut butter crumble and Big Sur sea salt. When we ordered Stumptown Coffee bean creme, we didn't expect an almost white creme with torn pieces of light-as-air almond sponge cake. But it tasted every bit of coffee, with tiny star anise meringues and coconut sorbet sharing the bowl.
Hospitality vets can be found at every turn here, both in the front and back of the house. The service really is superb, and everyone had the timing and knowledge to make dinner move comfortably from beginning to end—sort of a dream team all working together to make Faith & Flower become one of the best spots in town. Certainly one of the most talked-about new restaurants, it's the antithesis of a fly-by-night operation created by a couple of out-of-towners looking to cash in on the shining L.A. culinary scene. Instead, Faith & Flower complements everything that's so great about dining in this city right now.

Sharika Soal is a Los Angeles based recording artist and recently made waves when she became involved in "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Shay Johnson's bottle throwing drama. Sharika wasn't involved in the way you would think though, she wasn't even in Atlanta for the now-infamous bar fight. The outspoken vocalist of Lady Soal is responsible for Shay Johnson's arrest warrant stemming from earlier this year.
Sharika was gracious enough to speak with Examiner about the fight and what motivated her to push for law enforcement involvement in the bar brawl that left one of Joseline Hernandez' friends bleeding after Shay Johnson hit the woman in the face with a bottle of Ciroc.
Who is Sharika Soal?
Sharika's real last name is Sawer but she is known as Sharika Soal. She is the solo performing artist known as Lady Soal and she has some pretty powerful pipes. If you've never heard Sharika sing, check out the treat that is the Bus Driver Blues. If her music doesn't get you, check out the rest of her YouTube channel because she's also pretty funny and really, really real.
How is Sharika involved in the 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' drama with Shay Johnson?
Sharika wasn't at Sleazy & Zino's Bistro & Bar during the filming of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" when Shay hit another woman with a bottle. She saw the footage and wanted to know why no action was taken. After sending an email to the Atlanta Police Department with footage of the altercation along with a date and location, police took action and issued a warrant for Shay Johnson's arrest. The name of her victim was never released to the public and she failed to press charges herself.
Sharika said herself that she is tired if the violence on reality TV and the fact that law enforcement seems to turn a blind eye. There has been so much violence on "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" alone that they have now assigned a bodyguard to each cast member to keep them safe and to keep them from fighting with each other. When asked why this particular fight bothered her so much, Sharika said it was just the last straw. This fight was particularly rough with the victim leaving with a bleeding head wound.
For the record, Sharika does not know Shay Johnson and doesn't even run in the same circles. Her "snitching" has nothing to do with bad blood or revenge. She simply was sick of the fighting on some of these reality shows and wanted to make a stand. She says she did it for her son's generation and to prove that you don't have to give in to that ratchet kind of behavior in order to get attention.
If you're the type that would rather support an amazing vocalist who is working hard to make a mark in the music business, check out Sharika's amazing performances on YouTube. She has power and soul in her voice that you can't find on the radio. There's a pretty good chance she won't be wielding a Ciroc bottle either.

ASBURY PARK, N.J. (AP) — President Barack Obama tried his hand at arcade football and joked Tuesday with Gov. Chris Christie, declaring the Jersey Shore is back seven months after Superstorm Sandy bore down on its famed boardwalks and seaside towns. The job of repairing the $38 billion in damage inflicted by the storm is not over, Obama said, adding that his return visit to a state he visited in the storm's immediate aftermath was intended to show he's still committed to putting the federal government to work. When all is said and done, Obama said, the Jersey Shore will be better and more resilient than it was before.

In what has become a continuing shameless attempt to exploit every conceivable facet of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 mystery for ratings, CNN has released a poll asking Americans what they think might be behind the plane's disappearance. And not only does the poll show that CNN will allow for even the most ludicrous feedback from respondents, but it also indicates that there are not a few Americans who entertain the rather strange and unsubstantiated notions that the missing plane disappeared because of the orchestrations of space aliens, time travelers, or beings from another dimension.
That is correct. You did not misread. In a poll released May 6 by CNN/ORC, 19 percent of Americans think that it is "not too likely," "somewhat likely," and "very likely" that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished due to efforts by certain "groups." In this case, those groups include space aliens, time travelers, and beings from other dimensions.
Even the largest of those categories (10 percent answered "not too likely") indicate that respondents entertain at least the possibility that these "groups" could have been involved in the plane's disappearance.
Other "groups" included in the CNN poll were terrorists, hijackers (non-terrorists), and pilots and/or crew members. Of those three, more people (83 percent) thought that the Boeing 777 that vanished on March 8 carrying 239 passengers and crewmen most likely (and somewhat and not too likely as well) resulted from actions of the pilots, co-pilots, and/or crew members of the plane. A staggering 79 percent believe there's a possibility that Flight 370 disappeared due to actions of "terrorists or people associated with a hostile foreign government."
But back to those who think that the Boeing 777 may have been targeted by space aliens, time travelers, and beings from other dimensions...
Some might be surprised that nearly 1 out of every 5 Americans think that some type of interference from UFOs and people from the future. After all, many believe that life exists on other worlds and that time travel is possible. As for the beings from other dimensions, variations of the multiverse theory has been around for quite some time.
To provide some insight into the thinking of the general populace, a Public Policy Polling poll released last April showed that not only does 29 percent of the population believe aliens exist but that 21 percent believe a UFO crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.
A Huffington Post/YouGov poll released in September 2013 noted that 48 percent of those surveyed believed UFOs of extraterrestrial origin had been observed. The same poll revealed that 50 of respondents believed that there were those who had experienced actual ghosts.
Given that many Americans are not above going the conspiracy theory route (the aforementioned poll numbers translate into millions of Americans) as well, it shouldn't be surprising that there would be at least one person in a group of five that would consider as likely what is usually relegated to realms of science fiction. Besides, such topics inspire controversy. And in the news business, controversy and interesting angles are what drives ratings.
CNN has found a ratings gold mine in the missing Malaysia Airlines plane mystery. According to data analyst Nate Silver, CNN mentions the missing plane once every six minutes -- far more than any other news organization or network.
The news network seems to explore every story line it possibly can, to the minutiae of reporting on the reporting on the Malaysia Airlines mystery to reporting on conspiracy theories and even the possibility of "supernatural" involvement. Anchor Don Lemon was famously criticized for his introduction of the idea that something out of this world may have happened to the plane and its passengers.
"People are saying to me," Lemon said on a Sunday broadcast a couple weeks after the plane went missing, "why aren't you talking about the possibility — and I'm just putting it out there — that something odd happened to this plane, something beyond our understanding?"
CNN hasn't shied away from the "talking about the possibility" since.
And now there's this poll...
So don't be surprised if a few of your co-workers or some of your friends at your weekend cookout harbor some very open-minded ideas as to what might have occurred regarding the vanishing of Flight 370.
And don't be surprised the next time CNN runs a story that completely circumnavigates factual knowledge -- or at best touches tangentially on a given fact -- to keep the public continually informed about every real development and/or incredible lunacy in the search for the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777. Good ratings were missing at CNN for years and missing Flight 370 has helped the network climb atop the cable news ratings. Perhaps in covering the search for the missing plane, CNN might again find its journalistic integrity and credibility as well.

Students will go home with one completed bracelet and the start of a second one! We are thrilled to have Vicky Nickelson, author of Nature's Touch: Pine Needle and Gourd Basketry here to teach this new class. You won't want to miss this great opportunity.
