Time to Voice My Opinion
I am thoroughly disgusted with your June 2010 issue. The photo on the cover with Sharon Stone looked so much like a porn cover that I could not read it on the treadmill at the gym. Then when I saw the nude bodies later in the magazine, I knew I had to voice my opinion. I thought MORE was a nice magazine with articles, ideas and style but not this trash. As far as I am concerned you can cancel my subscription. I do not have my account # at hand but you can cancel my subscription.

A Challenge
Dear Ms. Seymour, The front covers are beyond tiresome. If you want readers who are intelligent, curious, sophisticated women in their 40's, 50's, 60's, etc., to continue to be subscribers, I don't believe you will attract us with nude pictures and silly articles about (not very bright) actresses. I suppose we could buy Cosmopolitan or something of that ilk if we like that sort of thing. I really would appreciate a cover showing Hillary Clinton, Sheila Bair, a current serious author or activist (all clothed). I realize that there must be a significant number of readers who like the current cover choices or you wouldn't continue the trend.
I think I won't be a MORE reader much longer unless your focus changes and there are enough other like-minded women out there also objecting to gratuitous nudity apparently as the main attraction of the magazine. I have had such high hopes for a publication aimed at my age group. Can you do better? I'm betting that you can.
Kristine Wood
PS I am 62, very thin, very fit, beautifully dressed (so I am told) and take great interest in looking good. (I actually think I look fine when I am undressed. But I wouldn't appear undressed on the cover of a magazine if I wanted to be taken seriously.)
We Need a More Common Struggle
A few years ago I discovered MORE & loved it. I found inspiration in the articles about how life could be so free & different in my 40s. Then I had [a relative who was] addicted to meth. I am having a very difficult time relating to stories about women who have turned their passions into successful businesses. I know there are many out there like me, who have had to deal with this common phenomenon & are struggling. Please add some stories about real life that women are dealing with. Sincerely,
Kathleen Peck
Biggest Loser Disagreement
Publishing a story about a weight loss camp for seriously overweight people written by someone who is not concerned with her weight but just incredibly narcissistic about it (she mentioned her own BMI several times) was a real low for MORE magazine. I have subscribed for years and while I do not always agreed with the view points of the authors I have found it fun and stimulating to read. This article sickened me. The author, her mother and her sister should be ashamed of themselves-but they will not be.
Dena Broderick
This Issue is a Keeper!
I found the June issue to be the best I've read since I started reading MORE a couple of years ago. Each article was something I was interested in, particularly the article regarding bone drugs. It presented very important information in an understandable yet intellectual way. Secondly, I have always wondering about the Susan G. Komen Foundation and why it seems to ubiquitous. Now I know – another example of what the "power of one" can achieve. And having a Vietnamese daughter-in-law, I was particularly taken with the gorgeous photographs of Vietnam and the accompanying article. This issue is a keeper. Thank you!
Holly Campbell
Models Over Size 2
I have been a supporter of MORE magazine since the first issue came to Canada. As a size 14, 47 year-old female I have to say I am hugely disappointed in your choices of models in your magazine.

I hope it's the kind of work you can't sum up in a sentence.
There's a list here at DN, not written down anywhere and rarely discussed by myself or El Vez, yet despite its lack of physicality it drives everything that we do. This list contains the names of every director whose work we absolutely adore and therefore feel certain that someday we'll sit down with for an interview, in an attempt to reveal a little of that creative magic which raises their work to such awe inspiring heights. Run Wrake's name has been on that list since we saw Rabbit, his genre busting narrative about the dangers of greed which we were fortunate enough to include in our 2006 Reading & Leeds screenings. We shall always regret that we never pursued an interview with the talented animator/director/illustrator whilst we had the opportunity – regrettably Wrake's wife posted the following message to his Facebook page earlier today:
It is with incredible sadness that I have to let you know that our darling Run passed away very suddenly at 5am on Sunday morning as an end result of his cancer. He had spent a beautiful Saturday with his two children Florence and Joe, his sister Fiona and myself. We left him at 7pm doing what he loved best- drawing and animating with peg bar and paper.
I was with him for his last moments. We love you Run.
Lisa Wrake.
Our thoughts go out to Run Wrake's family, friends and those who found inspiration in his work. It goes without saying that you should re-watch or discover his body of work on runwrake.com and share it far and wide. We've posted Rabbit below, that initial piece of his work which caught our eye.
And thanks to APEngine we can hear the man himself talk about his work and influences. We're sure Run Wrake will be listed as an inspiration to many animators for years to come.
MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the latest incarnation of this disorder and so much cheaper than film school. Twitter: @MarBelle

Well, back to it today, and a very positive day it has been. Everybody had a great Christmas and the spirit is still with us.
More of the same today, practice those skills. The "Air brake systems check" and Pre-trip walk around. Hey, the more you do it the better it is instilled in the brain. With all my mechanical aptitude the one thing that is the hardest for me is ?Pre-trip Inspection". I don't know what the block is. Maybe it's just getting the thoughts right about what can leak and what should simply be secure. I know the parts and see them in my minds eye but the trick is to identify the part and verbalize what your eyes should be seeing. The DMV examiner has the list and is checking off those items. Luckily I get several trucks to practice on every morning.
Let's not forget the skills of parallel parking and the dreaded alley dock. Today we got to practice these as well. Why would you want to parallel park a semi? Well, the DMV examiner needs to know that you are in control of that truck and this is one of the ways to demonstrate it. Alley Docking consists of a 90 degree right angle backing to a dock. Sound simple? Just Wait. I have a little experience but this is something you want to get a lot of practice at. Trust me it is very humbling to say the least.
Work with your classmates and pay attention to the instructors and all be well. I know I have been critical of the schools structure and the casual style of the instructors, but I see the error of my ways. The goal is to get us to the truck and use it as a tool to build and reinforce the skills we are all there to acquire. My little bit of passed experience is nothing compared to learning a truck and trailer combination and how to handle them the right way. There is no substitute for learning from an individual who has been out there on the big road.
Secure, all mounting bolts present and tight, no cracks, no leaks, stay positive and have a great day!

According to Deadline, popular actor, director, writer and award-winning filmmaker Harold Ramis passed away earlier today, Monday, February 24, 2014. Ramis helped to make some of the greatest comedy films of all time including "Groundhog Day," "Ghostbusters," "Stripes," and "Animal House."
After years of poor health, Ramis succumbed to autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, a condition that causes the blood vessels to become inflamed and leads to organ failure. Ramis struggled with the disease for four years before passing this morning.
Ramis' comedies were often silly and absurd, but they also had some intelligent, cerebral humor that helped to revolutionize the genre of comedy. His hilarious and smart films paved the way for some of today's most popular and successful directors like Judd Apatow, Peter Farrely and Adam Sandler.
In addition to his iconic acting roles in some of the most successful comedies of all time Ramis also directed "Multiplicity," "Analyze This," "Bedazzled," and he directed one of the most well-known comedies of the 80s, "Caddyshack," which he also scripted.
My deepest condolences go out to Harold Ramis' family and all those affected by his untimely passing. Rest in Peace.

This "dream sequence" mural that will soon hang outside the Madison Boy's and Girl's Club in Far Rockaway was unveiled last Friday. The thematic mural depicts people learning, working in civil service and medicine, participating in athletics and even contains the image of the Twin Towers. Local artist Leigh Walls designed the five-panel mural based on the original work of MS 198 student Michael Blamo.

According to the Hockey Canada website, Canada defeated Switzerland 3-1 in the semi-finals of women's hockey at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi on Monday.
Natalie Spooner of Scarborough, Ontario scored Canada's first two goals in the first period. The first was even strength and the second was on the power play. The Canadians then took a 3-0 lead 23 seconds after Spooner's game winner as Melodie Daoust of Valleyfield, Quebec notched a key insurance goal.
Switzerland meanwhile bounced back with a power play goal by Jessica Lutz at 5:14, but could not beat Canadian goaltender Shannon Szabados of Edmonton, Alberta for the rest of the contest.
The Swiss goaltending was equally strong. Florence Schelling made 45 saves and was named the game's first star. If it was not for Schelling, the score could have easily been 8-1.
Canada will now play the United States in the women's gold medal game (CBC, Thursday, 10:00 a.m.). The Americans defeated Sweden in the other semi-final 6-1.

Watching the 2014 Sochi Olympics can be confusing because of the time zones that have half the world sleeping while the Olympics Opening Ceremony is providing entertainment for the world. With Americans residing in zones that have a difference of nine to 12 hours, it would be easy to listen to spoilers of the event before it even airs. According to Hollywood Life on Wednesday, many fans are watching via live stream adding a bit of confusion to the enjoyment of this favorite international sports event.
According to the World Time Clock, Sochi, Russia is in the Standard Time Zone: GMT/UTC time zone. Translated that means the time zone is Greenwich Mean Time and further discovery shows that fans worldwide can simply figure out the time difference with these simple charts. And, if you want to know the weather there is a converter that gives you all the current information needed.
Sochi has become a household word, so it should be easy enough to find the information for the timing of Winter Olympic events. The Opening Ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Olympics is a "must see" and now fans can watch it in real time with live stream on Friday morning and then again when NBC airs the event during prime time on Friday February 7, 2014.

Wen Jiabao's legacy and Chinese politics today
Author: Hai Hong Nguyen, UQ
Wen Jiabao stepped down from the powerful Communist Party of China (CPC) Standing Politburo at the 18th Congress of the CPC last week.
But he will not hand over the premiership to his successor until the National Congress elections next year. After ten years in power, Mr Wen will be remembered by the Chinese people for three things: as a people's prime minister, as a political reformist, and as a corruption fighter.
Wen has long been proclaimed 'a people's prime minister'. Chinese media often show images of him wearing simple clothes, holding a megaphone speaking to victims in disaster-hit areas or enjoying a meal with mine workers. Wen's populist image makes him like other world leaders, such as Chile's President Sebastian Pinera, who joined the crowd to congratulate trapped Chilean miners when they were rescued, or US President Barack Obama, who skipped campaigning in battleground states in the recent US election to visit New Jersey and talk to people affected by Hurricane Sandy. This behaviour is typical of political leaders who want to build a good image as leaders of the people, by the people and for the people, and demonstrate their duty to their constituents. All politicians do the same, although some do not know how to do it. Wen's populism is different because it also has helped consolidate the image of the ruling CPC. Like its counterparts globally, the CPC is struggling to secure legitimacy in a world where movement toward democracy, the rule of law and freedom are on the rise.
Wen is also considered a political reformist because he explicitly said that political reforms must catch up with China's economic reform and growth. Yet, political liberalisation is not what the CPC wants in the short term, so Wen's call for political reform has been ignored or even censored in the state media.
On anti-corruption, Wen made an historic gesture, lodging a letter to the CPC Standing Politburo requesting an investigation of the riches his family was allegedly hiding. Hundreds of corruption cases, many linked to high-ranking officials of the CPC, are discovered and handled annually in China. Some of Wen's colleagues in the Standing Politburo are reported by foreign media as using their influence to bring benefit to their family members, relatives and friends. Yet none have dared to act like Wen. Admittedly Wen's move came after allegations that his family have profited from his position were raised in Western press, itself probably a fallout from the moves against Bo Xilai after the Chongqing scandal. Wen's action was a courageous move nonetheless.
In China there are no institutions that guarantee democratic process or the rule of law. The CPC exercises control. This context begs the question about the significance of Wen's request. Accountability is lacking in China. Representative governments can more readily hold their political leaders accountable to the people. Such systems do not exist in China. A top leader like Wen is only accountable to the party and subject to internal discipline. Exceptions only arise in cases where corruption serves a political rather than financial purpose.
What will be the outcome of the investigation and the CPC's response? There are a number of possible scenarios. The first is that the allegations of hidden riches in Wen's family are true. How would the CPC handle such a scandal? It is likely that the CPC would undertake internal procedures to protect the party and Wen. The public would be informed that the allegations were false and that Premier Wen was 'clean'. Alternatively, the CPC might want to prove to the public that it upholds the rule of law by punishing, however lightly, some members in Wen's family. They would likely deny Wen's involvement. The most important thing as far as the CPC is concerned is that the good image of both the CPC and Premier Wen be protected.
Another scenario would see the allegations declared incorrect. This might happen regardless of the findings of the investigation. If the New York Times allegation were found to be incorrect this would protect the image of the CPC and Wen Jiabao. This would additionally allow Chinese authorities to criticise the Western media, who they say are out to blacken the reputation of Chinese leaders. In such a scenario Chinese authorities may introduce tougher policies toward Western media offices operating in China, reasoning that they have inappropriate motivations and interfere in China's internal affairs like the Russian government's allegations about USAID in Russia.
The CPC and its 5th generation of leadership under Xi Jinping are facing diminishing trust of leaders within the public. Wen's call for his own scrutiny answers the call for increased accountability among the political leadership. Yet the findings from the investigation of his affairs are likely to lead to a predictable outcome, possibly even before Wen hands over the premiership to Li Keqiang next year. Wen's legacy can help the CPC consolidate its legitimacy, although a breakthrough change is unlikely to take place soon in China.

What if I wanted to put together a Walk A Block for Jesus? What do I need to know?
The answer is easy. Just know the good news and be ready to share it. You can add some extensive logistics, bells and whistles, handouts, and more, but the message is simple.
God loves you.
He loves you enough that he sent the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and took away the sin of the world.
You have life in Christ. Know this life!
That's it?
The rest is up to you. Make it as organized or free flowing as you like, just take the good news to a part of you community for a few hours on a given day.
Here is how the Burns Flat Cumberland Presbyterian Church will conduct their 5th Walk A Block for Jesus.
Operation Walk A Block for Jesus 2014 10 May 2014 9 am to 1 am
Situation: This is our 5th Walk A Block for Jesus.
Mission: To go into a designated segment of our community with God's word, God's love, and to pray many times in many places during a specified period. Our intent is to be God's love in action and very deliberate about fulfilling the great commission right where we live. We will conduct this operation in 3 phases.
Phase I: Preparation. We do this every year, but this year there is more than just coordinating pizza pick up and material ordering. In 2014, we are actively seeking prayer requests from the community. Please talk to the people that you know and ask if they would like a small group to come into their home on the morning of 10 May 2014 and pray with them and for them. We will not press them to profess their faith or pressure them to come to our church. We will pray for them. If they want more, we will lead them where they need to go to confess, profess, gain understanding, and more. Tom will announce this on the radio on Monday 28 April 2014 and ask The Rock to continue to announce it.
Your part is to talk to people this week and if they agree to invite us into their homes, give their names and addresses to Tom. If you can't talk to them about this, clothespin one of the prayer request sheets on their door.
Phase II: Walking, Talking, and Eating Pizza. You know this part. We will divide into three main walking groups on Saturday morning. Group I – Those who want to go into homes and pray. Group II –Those who want to walk the town and stop in the middle of every block and pray. Group III – Those who will not be happy unless they get to knock on some doors. We gather at 9:00 am on Saturday morning, pray for our mission, and then divide into groups and invade the base housing area of Burns Flat. Those who can't walk can set up for the noon meal, answer the phone, and hotshot Bibles, Life Books, and water where needed. We meet back at the church building at noon and eat pizza (instructions on how to do this available on request).
Phase III – Invading the schools before school is out for the summer. Getting Bibles into the school without putting teachers and administrators at risk is a challenge for ministers and ministries. There are, however, no such real or perceived restraints placed upon students. If students want to bring a Gospel of John to share with their classmates, that is still within the liberties that we have in this nation.
Phase III begins Saturday at noon but truly manifests itself on Monday, 12 May 2014. Every student who participates in the Walk A Block for Jesus will be given as many Life Books as they agree to give to other students. These must be hand to hand deliveries, not just put on a table in the library or stacked in a common area. If a student agrees to hand out 5 books, he or she takes 5. If the student agrees to hand out 25, then they will receive 25.
These books are intended to reach other students so they will have them over the summer. That can't happened if they are taken home by students but never given to others. Students are to take what they need and give away all that they take.
Administration and Logistics: Save the date and protect it. Wear a CPC shirt or other Christian tee shirt. We will have bottled water. We will also have GOD LOVES YOU – LOVE ONE ANOTHER wristbands. If someone wants to drive a support vehicle, see Tom. Sharman will pick up the pizzas.
Communication: We will note a few cell numbers in each group. The church number is 562-4706 and someone will be here to answer the phone while we walk.
Be prepared to be blessed!
OBTW –You will also be a blessing.
OK, so the pastor is also a retired Marine Corps officer and doesn't get to write many operations orders these days, but you get the idea.
Set the date.
Equip the saints.
Send them into the world or the neighborhood.
Meet back to share what happened over a simple meal.
You have a Walk A Block for Jesus.

Remember when you were younger, when you made plans with your friends to get together. You guys would plan to go to the movies, to the mall, to some place fun that other kids your age would be at. You figured out what you would wear, where you would meet, the time and the place and envisioned how much fun you would have. Then, you realized uh-oh you probably would need a ride, or would need to ask to borrow the car, or would be leaving the house and probably need to ask your parents if you can even go. "Right?" Right. Yet, how many of your plans were ruined or stifled because you forgot to ask your parents first? Many plans. Then, you would have to go and call your friends and tell them, "I can't go." As a young person you desperately wished you were older, more independent and probably could not wait to get out of the house to make your own decisions. All that planning and daydreaming gone to waste.
As we get older we still plan, but sometimes planning without asking God can be a waste. How many of you have planned and planned only to have your plans fail or come up short somewhere along the way? Joyce Meyer had a great quote on twitter:
We don't need to make a plan and then pray for God to make our plan work. We need to pray first and see if God's got a plan. Joyce Meyer
You see as youth, we started to realize along the way in order for us to get out of the house and do great things or do fun things we would have to ask. Or we would miss out, get grounded or lose out on something very important to us. As believers, we should consider asking God before we make our plans. Or they might not work out the best way.
If many of you are like myself, you want God's best for your life. You want to be in God's will. But, you may always plan, plan and plan some more without asking God. It is very important to pray before you even plan. Pray for God to direct you. It is better to pray and follow God without a plan, than to plan and go without a prayer. Seek God for your direction. As the Israelites in the wilderness were unaware of how to get to the Promised Land, God sent a pillar of fire to direct them in the wilderness. They were aware of God's presence along the whole way. If you pray, God is with you even if you don't have a plan.
I have Four P's for you to remember when asking for God's best and planning your future. Because at the end of the day, it is not all about what you want, but more about what God wants for you. I know that I want God's best for my life, so I will be sure to follow these steps:
1) Pray – Pray for God's direction.
2) Plan – It is always good to plan, but make sure you leave space for God to move and direct you.
3) Prepare – If we are seeking God's best for our life, sometimes we have to prepare ourselves for the next step or next level of faith.
4) Purpose - "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. " Jeremiah 29:11
Ultimately, God has a purpose for our life. He will use us to accomplish his purpose, only if we allow him. God will chase after us, until this purpose is accomplished. I would rather, follow God's purpose right off than to be led astray.
It is okay to pray for your desires, but make sure you pray for God's will above all else. If you can remember these Four P's (in this order) you will always have God's best and be in God's will. Pray, Plan, Prepare & Purpose. You will have nothing to worry about.

Jimmy Reynolds, a junior two-way lineman for Evergreen, was carried off the field Aug. 21 with a right ankle injury during the team's intrasquad scrimmage at Evergreen High School.
When the Evergreen Cougars take the field Aug. 27 at Moffat County, Rob Molholm will be on the sidelines. That hasn't always been considered a sure bet this offseason.
Rob Molholm is not a big fan of playing Zero Week, and he'll tell you that.
Friday the 13th, an unlucky day for some people, happened to be a lucky day indeed for my friend and fellow birder Warren Roske. Warren saw a northern goshawk on Friday at Evergreen Lake. This is one of the few sightings of a goshawk at the lake. But it was no accident that Warren was birding there, as he, my friend Loie Evans and a few other birding friends try to keep a daily tally of the birds at Evergreen Lake. They post which birds, and how many individuals, they see on a bulletin board on the Lake House side of the boardwalk.
IRVINE, CALIF. — Lexie Malazdrewicz took fourth place in the bonus finals in the 400 individual medley and seventh in the finals of the 200 backstroke last week at the Junior National Championships, held at the William Woolett Jr. Aquatics Complex.
It's football season.
The Evergreen Cougars will hold an intrasquad scrimmage on Aug. 21 at Evergreen High School from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Lunch will follow.
ARVADA — Sam Theil shot a 77 to finish eighth individually, and Evergreen took fifth place in the 11-team field at the second 4A Jeffco League match of the season Aug. 16 at West Woods Golf Club.
Freshman Kyle Peterson fired an 81, while Adam Zuckerman and Taylor Shillingburg each shot an 84. Zach Fellows rounded out the scoring for Evergreen with an 88.
ENGLEWOOD — For one, Taylor Shillingburg, the boys golf season couldn't have started much better. For another, his Evergreen teammate Adam Zuckerman, he's had better days. It was that kind of round for the Cougars on Aug. 12 at Broken Tee Golf Course.
People often ask me how I happen to see so many more birds and animals than they do.
They often say that they at least drive into downtown Evergreen every day, sometimes more than that, and they don't see half as many things as I do.
I usually reply to this that birders are made by learning the art of observation. I am not as good an observer as my late husband Bill was. He began birding the minute he woke up. Many days he had the first bird on his daily list before he got out of bed by looking out the bedroom window.

Bluder's Bunch was good for 101 of the 212 points scored by the Hawkeyes on Sunday.
Nov. 9, 2010
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Random thoughts on another morning of Indian Summer here in the Heartland...
Yep. It's supposed to climb well into the 60s today on the University of Iowa campus. Heck of a deal.
Math isn't exactly a strength of mine, but wasn't that 212 points scored by the good guys Sunday afternoon inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena? Sure, both of Iowa's basketball teams were playing opponents that weren't exactly Big Ten Conference caliber, but putting up 100-plus is hard to do against anyone. It's even more impressive if you scan the box score and note pretty small numbers in the turnover column on the UI side.
"Basket by Marble!" exclaimed Mark Kamps, public address announcer for Iowa's men's games early in the exhibition Sunday. Two thoughts: First, that name conjured up lots of good memories - and victories. Second, I was reminded just how long I've been knocking around the hallways of CHA.
Lisa Bluder had a pretty funny comment in her post-game visit with Shelley Till of the Hawkeye Radio Network. Asked how good she felt about getting all of her team significant court time, Iowa's veteran head coach smiled and said, "When you only have nine, it's pretty easy to get them all playing time." Bluder and her staff, unfortunately, have grown accustomed to working with a short bench. The good news is that they've also figured out ways to win and win often with a short bench.
Iowa football against Northwestern this Saturday at Ryan Field in Evanston....hmmm. Isn't it to the Hawkeyes' benefit that they play Indiana and Northwestern - two teams in love with the short passing attack - on back-to-back weekends? One would think so.
Math isn't exactly a strength of mine, but wasn't that 212 points scored by the good guys Sunday afternoon inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena? Sure, both of Iowa's basketball teams were playing opponents that weren't exactly Big Ten Conference caliber, but putting up 100-plus is hard to do against anyone. It's even more impressive if you scan the box score and note pretty small numbers in the turnover column on the UI side.
How about the performance turned in by Marcus Coker? The true freshman had 100 yards at intermission and 129 in his first collegiate start. Not bad stuff. The Hawkeye Radio Network's Ed Podolak - a pretty good ball carrier in his day - was most impressed with Coker's vision on the playing field and his "lean." Regarding the latter, Coker reminded me of another guy who celebrated his coming out party at Indiana: Nick Bell. Nick had a pretty good "lean," too, and, like Coker, more than a little bulk to go with it.
Sure was a crazy good weekend in college football...and me thinks there are more to come.
All that being said, I'm going to take the easy road and line up behind Kirk, who was delighted with Coker's performance but was equally excited to share the fact that he'll have Adam Robinson back on the practice field this week.
Bluder's Bunch shot better than 50 percent from behind the three-point line Sunday, led by Kelly Krei's 6-of-8 shooting. Bluder said that that kind of depth in perimeter shooting will prove challenging for Iowa's opponents. "It's hard to keep track of that fourth shooter on the perimeter," Bluder told the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
For those of you - like me - who are contemplating Iowa's path to the Rose Bowl and/or its second straight BCS appearance, remember the following about the BCS and the Rose Bowl and the selection process, compliments of Sports Illustrated's Stewart Mandel: After the No. 1 and 2 teams are slotted and replaced, the BCS at-large selection order this year is 1) Sugar, 2) Orange and 3) Fiesta. Also, this year only, the Rose Bowl is obligated to take the highest-ranked non-AQ team (currently TCU) if it loses one of its champions (currently projected to be Oregon).
Also, apparently Iowa State did join the Big Ten, at least according Mandel. From his most current bowl projections: Dec. 26 Little Caesars: Temple (MAC No. 1) vs. Iowa State (Big Ten No. 8*). Obviously, the asterisk means the Big Ten didn't have a team eligible to fill this slot.
Lastly, how about the play of Bryce Cartwright in his debut as a Hawkeye? Wow.
Go Hawks!

Flash forward a few years, and I have two more grandchildren! Mom loved meeting these newest additions to our family — boy/girl twins! I retired from teaching to help care for them and to be able to visit Mom more frequently. She used a walker or cane at times, but was always up for something fun when I was in town. Having lunch out, go shopping, seeing a movie. Many days our conversations dissolved in fits of giggles since we shared the same sense of humor gene! But all good things must come to an end. By the summer of 2010, I'd been flying back and forth to Michigan to spend a week or so at a time with her every month (just as my siblings took turns sleeping over or checking in on her). But after several falls, we (and she) realized that she could no longer live on her own. She'd had rigorous rehab to get her back to living independently; but I think she grew to like and depend on the extra help and daily attention. This ultimately helped her make the BIG decision. We spent weeks asking her over and over and every which way — Do you want to do this? Move out of your home and into assisted living? "Yes," she replied each time.
It was bittersweet, cleaning out and closing the condo. It was nice to know she was happy in her new place, but sad for us kids not to have "home" to go to anymore. Oh, the rich treasures we discovered! Daddy's war medals, Mom's journals and their old love letters! Notes and cards we'd sent her as kids, and old photos and mementos she'd saved from school, scouts and recitals. Thank you, Mom! How I wished I had a huge house to hold the old furniture —sewing machine, end tables, comfortable chairs, my grandmothers' China cabinets. All important pieces of the life that shaped me. But they're all in good homes now with members of my wonderful family!
She was delighted with her room where my brother and sister-in-law had placed some of her own furnishings and favorite things. She participated in activities like table volleyball and made new friends up and down the hall. She had the monitoring she needed, but otherwise was the same ol' Mom. Several months passed, but eventually I got the call: "Mom is fading......not sure what's up....come see for yourself." I didn't realize when I quickly booked a flight cross-country that I'd be spending her last 48 hours with her. Slouched in her comfy, gold armchair, a mix of protein bars and vending machine snacks by my side, I held the phone for her while she said her goodbyes and held her hand as she made an effort to tell me last-minute things. And then suddenly … my Dad and the angels were smiling … Goodbye Mom.
She once told me never to put her picture on the Internet. Well, guess what? We all posted photos that day. We wanted the world to know what a wonderful Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother she was. In the days that followed we celebrated; her six grandkids wrote beautiful messages to share from their tucked away books of childhood memories, five baby yellow roses represented her great-grandkids, and all of us gathered again and again to share stories, raise our glasses and laugh like crazy through intermittent tears.
Stories like this from last fall: "It's 1968 and Detroit wins the pennant! Donna is in the Country Squire laying on the horn to celebrate! Bill's telling her to calm down and all of Patton Street is going cuckoo!" Thanks to my kid brother for sharing that memorable moment from the past about our parents. He was nine years old at the time! We all love Donna and Bill stories from the good ol' days! Sometimes it's just a small thing that triggers the memory files in our hearts to spring open, but all are guaranteed to make us laugh and cry at the same time. We were all warm and happy that night in October 2012, knowing they were smiling down on their beloved Detroit Tigers!
It makes me happy now when I read old letters, recall childhood adventures and reflect with my sister and brothers on how awesome it was to have Mom for almost 88 years. We still love sharing tales and playing "remember when" every time we get together. We have mom's diaries and photos, my dad's medals on display and the family heirlooms.

I got it, but it's short.
Fun and beautifull, but short...
I played it Wednesday at my friend's house. It's really fun, but I don't think it lives up to all the hype. I don't think it deserves 9/10 or 7/10. I'd say about 8.5/10. The graphics are great, but the gameplay does get somewhat repetative. In my opinion, I'd say just get Mass Effect :P. Lol

If anyone wants to play (total nub btw lol), just IM me and we can set something up.

My son has it. Played it that first weekend. He got bored with it quickly. As mentioned above, repetative. Yes it looks great, but the game play is a bore. I sat down with it on my Elite and gave it up after about 20 minutes.
Halo3 was better, but Half-Life 2 blows it away. I play it on my PC though,so maybe that's the difference. I really don't like TF2. It sucks compared to TFC. The crappy wait times are a huge disappointment. Not to mention NO GRENADES. Come on, it's ony TF because of the classes and those are screwed with too much. Think of expecting Halo3 yet you got UT3.

These interviews will show the world there are talented people in our area who are capable of handling just about anything that comes their way!
Walter Platz has appeared in Dozens of films and worked in films starring Sharon Stone, John Heder, Brianna Evigan, Billy Zane, Dove Cameron, Luke Benward, Daveigh Chase and Mike Rowe among others.
What made you decide to get into the acting and modeling business?
I have always been interested in the entertainment business. I did standup comedy when I was in college. In order to make a living, I decide the best avenue for me was to be a radio disc jockey. When I applied at radio stations, I was continually redirected into news and worked in news throughout most of my radio career. I always planned to eventually get a radio job in LA and move into acting from there. As I got older and my children grew up, I made the decision to stay in Utah and never moved on to California
What has been the hardest thing for you as an actor?
It's a part-time job. No matter how successful you are, unless you get cast in a TV series, the job you get is temporary and part-time. Even when you are good and the director and producer love what you do, you are out of work in a day or two, or week or month and have to look for another job.
What keeps you going in our business?
I love to act and perform. The opportunity to play Sharon Stone's boss or being in S. Darko the sequel to Donnie Darko and the hope I will get a role in that classic movie or TV series.
What are the things you enjoy the most about our business?
First and foremost is the acting. I love to act. When the camera rolls, I get to be someone else. I also love talking to the people on set, finding out where they have been and what they have done.
What is or was your regular occupation? How did you juggle both?
I actually had two occupations. I worked in radio news for most of my career. I also own and operate a resume writing business. My boss in radio was good about letting me off when I was shooting a film. I closed the doors to my business when I was acting.
What do you feel makes you unique and talented?
Just like everyone else I am unique because I'm me. I'm different from everyone else, just like they are different from me. I can play someone else, but I can't be someone else. I bring to my acting what I have experienced. Working 25 years in radio makes me more talented than I would have been. After listening to my voice on recorded commercials and news for 25 years, I have the ability to know what I actually sound like and not what I think I sound like. This gives me the ability over others of knowing what sounds natural.
One of the toughest things for me as an agent is when I continually promote our talent really hard and because of things like the size of the market, the time of year or that there just is not a job coming up immediately for that particular talent, some talent get discouraged and lose interest. As an experienced agent I know things will soon get busy when you do the right things and stick with it. How have you not let the slower periods or times when you are not booking jobs discourage you?
I don't. It gets to me. I whine. I complain. I moan. I groan. But that's the business. This is Utah, or Idaho, or Wyoming or Nevada. The entertainment business is all over now. And unless you are willing to go to where the jobs are, and they aren't just in LA anymore, you just have to wait until the jobs come to your market. Just when you think the business is drying up and there are no jobs for you, that's when things pick up and you get auditions. It isn't just here it's everywhere. I had a fellow actor that told me his daughter went to LA to act and he was getting more jobs in Utah than she was getting in LA. She came back. The people who make it are the ones who work to get better and don't quit. When you quit, you lose.
What would your dream role or entertainment job be?
I would love to have a regular role in a hit TV series or even a small role in that classic movie.
Who are your favorite entertainers and why?
I don't know if they are my favorites but I think the two most talented actors on the planet are Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman. Meryl Streep amazes me how she can take people we know, (Julia Childs and Margaret Thatcher) and capture who they were. Dustin Hoffman and Tootsie says it all.
What makes you most nervous in our industry?
I don't really get that nervous in auditions anymore. Once in a while I will walk into an audition and be nervous but have no idea why. Now I go in with the attitude, if they don't pick me, they must be looking for a young, single, pregnant mother. The way the industry is changing makes me nervous. I have no idea where it is going. I also get nervous when people I have worked with onset, see me somewhere else. I am so bad with names even though I know them, I more times than not don't remember their names.
Tell us about yourself pertaining to the entertainment business.
When I was in college in the 1970's, I did a little standup comedy. On April Fool's Day 1974, I started my radio career. As much as I wanted to work as a disc jockey, every radio station insisted I work as a news reporter. I finally got a break and worked as a morning disc jockey at the second radio station I worked at in Missouri. It was short lived and I was put back into news. While working for WFMB in Springfield, Illinois, I covered all of the 1980 Presidential candidates including Ronald Reagan, Ted Kennedy, and George H. W. Bush. I also met and interviewed seven baseball hall of famers including Mickey Mantle, Satchel Paige, Ernie Banks, Bob Feller and Warren Spahn. I moved to Utah to take a job at KLO in August 1980. I got out of radio in 1984 and started my resume writing business. I returned to radio in 1986 and 1987. Then I left entertainment entirely for 10 years and started a resume writing business, which I still run. I returned to radio in 1997 and continued until leaving for good in January 2013. When I was almost 50 when I saw an ad seeking actors. I responded to a couple of them. I didn't like the first agency but signed up on a Tuesday with the Craze Agency. On Thursday, I was working as an extra on a film directed by Danny Glover. I met him, had a picture taken with him and left the film in the shirt I returned to wardrobe. I was never able to locate the film. I then worked as an extra on the TV series Touched by Angel and Everwood and several other movies before being advised that if I wanted to be an actor, don't regularly work as an extra or they will see you as an extra not an actor. I quit when I went to an audition and an assistant to the casting director said "Oh I thought you only worked as an extra." My next big break in the movie industry wasn't a big break. I was cast in Napoleon Dynamite. After auditioning for two parts, I was rejected. While vacationing in Missouri at my mother's, my agent received a call that they had a part for me if I could be on set in Idaho that day. I couldn't. The movie came out and I was listed in the credits as the cashier. I still receive credit on my IMDB page. Even though I wasn't in Napoleon Dynamite, I did shoot a couple of short films with John Heder (Napoleon). Since then I have had speaking roles in several national productions. I appeared in S. Darko, a sequel to the cult movie Donnie Darko; Border Run as Sharon Stone's boss; the Discovery Channel's TV series Gold Fever as one of the first two senators from California; and I have a lead role in the Web Series Proper Manors. I have also been fortunate to work with some talented, as yet, unknown directors.
I have appeared in short films that have won numerous film festival awards thanks to those directors and other talented actors. The most frustrating thing that has happened to me in this business is getting cast, such as the Napoleon Dynamite movie, and because of circumstances beyond my control not getting to take the role. It has happened to me three times. It has also happened the other way. I learned I got a lead role in a short film that way. When the director's first choice couldn't do the movie, I got the role. I still believe that, if it is meant to be, my time will come. Another thing that has frustrated me is when I audition and the director loves the audition and I still don't get the part. Sometimes you go into an audition and the director says great job and you don't know if they mean it or not. Other times, I have gone into auditions and the director couldn't stop praising my performance. It was genuine praise. Then, I didn't get the role. They must have been looking for a single, pregnant mother. That, too, has happened the other way. At the first commercial I ever auditioned for, an infomercial, we were all called into a room and sat around a table. We were asked to read the script for our part. I was up first. I read the script. The director said thank you very much. You can go. I was absolutely convinced I had blown. I was the first person sent out of the room. I got the part. This is the good, the bad and the ugly of the business. You gotta love it.
How long have you been serious as an actor or model?
I started acting when I was 50 about 14 years ago.
I know from personal experience many friends and family can sometimes be skeptical or jealous about being in the entertainment business even if you show some success. What do your family and friends think about you being in it? Have they changed their minds over a period of time?
I have a pretty wide array of reactions. When I first started acting, I had to beg people to watch some of short films I was in. My mother had to watch my first short film. I made her. I was playing an evil psychiatrist. After watching it, she looked at me with disgust and said "You are the devil." I thought to myself, yes that what I was going for. Others, mostly younger relatives were in awe that I was actually an actor. The people I worked with in radio, even though they were in the entertainment business were kind of in awe too, always asking how I got into to it. Others were dismissive, not saying it, but I could pretty much tell they were thinking I was just someone who thought he was an actor, but not really. They would never watch anything, until I was cast as Sharon Stone's boss. They finally relented. They were shocked and admitted I was actually pretty good. Other friends are in the business and we all pretty much know what the other is going through.
What made you stick with it when you first started and received some rejection?
Fortunately, I never had that many rejections. I auditioned for a lot of short student and independent films and was cast as much as I was not cast. I received constant reinforcement from those in the business that I could act. I learned early on that it most often had nothing to do with acting, but appearance. Getting cast a lot in short films reinforced that belief. Years ago I was working as an extra on Touched by an Angel. The extra director walked into the room and asked if anyone could play a young pregnant mother. I jokingly said I can play that. Even though I was joking, I always keep that in mind I audition for a part and don't get it. As a man in his 50's, I can't play a single, pregnant mother and from there it is just a matter of degrees. I now have enough confidence in my ability to know I can act and when I don't get the job, I just remind myself they must have been looking for a young pregnant mother or something else I didn't quite fit.
Who have been your biggest influences in our business?
Before I got into the business my idols were Bill Cosby, Johnny Carson and, after getting into radio, Paul Harvey. Since I have started acting, the best piece of advice I gotten came from Casting Director Jeff Johnson. In an audition class, he told us we were all sitting there thinking, I know I can do it if they would just give me the chance. For me he was right. Then he told us the audition is your chance take it and perform. I'm not sure what my attitude was before that, but it changed the way I auditioned. From that day on, I went into every audition with the mindset that I was going to wow them. I also appreciate Craze for providing the opportunity to audition for non-paying acting opportunities even though you got nothing for it. I'm not big on taking acting classes. I believe in developing my skills acting and the non-paying jobs were easier to get and built up my confidence.
What advice would you give newcomers entering the business?
Go someplace where you can be bad. Even if you don't think you're bad, you probably are. Work at acting and listen to what others have to say. I know some other disagree and hate watching themselves, but my advice is record yourself. I think watching and listening to yourself to hear and see what you actually look and sound like is the best way to improve. Listen and watch and then try to do it better. When I started in radio I sent audition tapes out to every radio station in Missouri. I knew the audition tape wasn't great, but I didn't think it was that bad. One radio station, the worst radio station in the state, responded and gave me the job. I know it was the worst radio station because they hired me. Several years later and four radio stations later, I had just gotten a job as a news director in Springfield, Illinois. I was told I could hire anyone I wanted. For some reason a few days later I was rummaging through my closet and found an old audition tape of myself. I pulled it out and was sitting at the kitchen table listening to it. My wife walked in and said, "You're not going to hire that guy are you?" When I started in radio, I knew I wasn't that good, but I didn't think I was that bad. Unless you are a rare talent, you may not be as bad as I was, but if you are just starting out you are probably not that good. Don't give up, keep working at it. The more you do it, the better you will become. Hollywood is full of stars who have made millions of dollars after they were told they were terrible actors, Harrison Ford, Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood come to mind. The thing about it is, if pressed, they would probably admit they weren't that good at the time. Just keep working to get better.
Do you have a funny story to tell about this business?
When I shot S. Darko, I kept trying to get my daughter to visit the set to see what I actually did. She was too busy and had no interest in going. I knew the many of the actors were from Hollywood and of some note, but I had no idea who they were or what they had done. When it came out and we were watching it, my daughter was shocked and amazed. She proclaimed "You were in a movie with her." She was referring to Brianna Evigan. "Yeah, why?" I asked. "She was in 'Step up to the Streets 2." When I got cast in Border Run. I came home excited to tell the family I was going to be Sharon Stone's boss. My daughter asked "Who?" When I was working on Border Run, another actor and I were joking about how even though we were in the movies no one recognized us. He said, "You know that guy you always see in the movies and you know who he is but you can't remember his name." I said yes. He responded, "I'm the guy standing next to him." I have stolen that line and now use it all the time.

jRuby Servlets... in Phobos?
By pelegri on Mar 24, 2007
Phobos is more than just JavaScript on the Server-Side; it is also a complete framework for server-side scripting and it can be used with other scripting languages too through the benefits of JSR 233. This means you can write things like this Ruby fragment:
$response.contentType = 'text/plain'
Roberto explains the mechanics in detail; including what WAR and JARs to use. The main focus of Phobos is still JavaScript, but let me know what you think...

Waaaay back when I first started blogging I only read about three or four blogs regularly because believe it or not, there just weren't that many bloggers. I read Susie Bubble, Fat Mum Slim, Style Bytes (sadly she stopped blogging many years ago but you can still get her content from April 2007 backwards on her blog) and Gala Darling. I discovered Gala one day when I was working full time at the University of Canberra. She was this nutty chick who took pictures of herself in her apartment in Melbourne and wrote these rad articles about fashion and self esteem. Her hair colour would change every few weeks and sometimes she'd wear two different coloured shoes. She started linking to one of her online pals Nubby Twiglet and I soon added her mono-chromatically awesome design blog to my list of daily reads. I bought one of her famous ballet slipper singlets and wore it until it fell apart. In recent years, Gala has moved to New York, Nubby remains in Portland and they've teamed with another fabulous blogger Kat from RocknRoll Bride. Together the three of them run a blogging school called The Blogcademy. They're coming to Melbourne in November and the three Headmistresses offer a scholarship to each class. To apply, I need to post on my blog saying why I should win the scholarship. I'm Australian and we don't really like to talk about how awesome we are, so I've decided to do a little a photo journal instead. I'm actually in Thailand on holiday as I type this so I present to you Bunny Ears in Thailand For The Blogcademy. (The Headmistresses wear bunny ears to teach their Blogcademy classes. It's totally relevant. I promise.)
Bunny ears by the river in Chiang Mai after played with kittens and shopped in a Thai antique store.
Bunny ears on the train to Kanchanaburri from Bangkok after a monk blessed us on the train and we ate tiny mango train treats.
Bunny ears at a resort in Kanchannaburri before climbing to the very top of the Erawan waterfalls causing serious walking difficulties for days afterwards.
Bunny ears at the night markets in Chiang Mai where we bought silk scarves and drank Singha.
Bunny ears on a bridge in Chiang Mai after we walked the whole perimeter of the ancient inner city.
I'd love to hang with these cool chicks and pick their brains about the business of blogging… and have major Virg-asms with Nubby and Gala. I also just love hanging out with other bloggers at conferences. Blogging is so isolating and it's always wonderful to be around like minded people and fan girl out together over our favourite bloggers.
Is there anyone really niche that you'd love to meet? An obscure sci-fi writer? An elite athlete of a sport you played when you were a kid? Joey from Degrassi High?

Love this! I REALLY want you to get this one. x

Me too! We started ready Gala at around the same time. I'd love to mee them all!
Totally bunny-derful, my favourite are the Chiang Mai one floppy ear look, so in this season. Good luck girlfriend.

Thanks man! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
I love you & your bunny ears! You totally need to win this xx

Thanks lovely! I've got all my good thoughts going for it!
I gotta say, I'm kinda surprised by this. I can't speak for Kat and I liked Nubby when I used to read her blog a few years back, but I can't stand Gala. If asked, I would have thought you would see right through her bullshit and want nothing to do with this rip-off parading itself as something helpful.
After reading her for about as long as I've read your blog, she has proven herself as fake, unable to keep a job outside her own blog, stand-offish when it comes to her readers wanting to open up a road of communication, and repetitive as hell.
Everything else she has offered through payment has been a rehash of things that she has talked about on her blog MULTIPLE times and you can access on the internet for free. I'd expect this is no different. And everything I've seen about it makes it seem like the three of them are more interested in calling themselves headmistresses and making everything "pretty and magical" than actually helping these people.
I can see why you would want to hang out with other attendees, but I think you're way too awesome and real to hang out with someone as self-centered and one note as Gala. Regardless of her star sign.

Thanks for the comment love.
I've been reading all of their blogs for years and I always go for every learning oppurtunity that I can.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but we may have to agree to disagree on this one.
And just so I'm not a complete downer (sorry), I would love to meet either Maria Bamford, Allie Brosh from Hyperbole and a Half, or Stephen Fry.
- Author
Allie Brosh! I freaking love her! Who's Maria Bamford?? Must google.
Maria Bamford is a comedian. She's hilarious and presents jokes about her own mental illness in brilliant ways that I've never heard any other comedian be half as good as.
I freaking love Allie Brosh too! We're back to agreeing ; P Feels like a warm, cozy blanket!
I'm heading down to Melbourne to attend! My story is pretty similar to yours as to how I started reading their blogs, ohh so many years ago. I just couldn't resist snapping up a ticket as soon as I heard they were coming to Oz!! Fingers crossed you win!
- Author
Oh I'd love to meet you finally! That would be amazing! Let's cross all our fingers and toes shall we?
I hope your and your bunny ears win! Best of luck xx

Thank you! Fingers crossed!

Mallory Duran-Sellers is one of 21 players in MVC history to earn First Team MVC Scholar-Athlete honors three times.
May 21, 2012
By Bill Ford
CARBONDALE, Ill.— Four Southern Illinois softball players were named to the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Team, the league announced Monday.
Senior Mallory Duran-Sellers, junior Brittney Lang and sophomores Kelsea Ashton and Jayna Spivey each earned first team laurels, giving SIU the most among the 12 players honored. This marks the 15th-consecutive season SIU has had at least two players named to the first team.
The honor marks the third First Team MVC Scholar-Athlete nod of Duran-Sellers's career, putting her among an elite group of 21 players in MVC history to achieve that milestone. An English education major with a 4.0 cumulative GPA, Duran-Sellers earned the MVC's Elite 18 Award for softball at the 2012 MVC Tournament.
The 2012 MVC Player of the Year, Duran-Sellers finished her senior season with an MVC-record 61 runs scored in addition to recording an SIU record-tying 45 walks in 2012. She ranked third in the MVC with a .362 batting average and drove in 24 runs with a team-high 17 stolen bases.
An exercise science major with a 4.0 GPA, Lang earned Scholar-Athlete honors for the first time of her career. The Leavenworth, Kan., native posted 11 wins in 2012 with a 3.77 ERA and led the SIU staff in strikeouts with 75. Lang and Duran-Sellers were the only players on the First-Team to have 4.0 GPAs.
Spivey and Ashton each pick up Scholar-Athlete honors in the first year they are eligible.
A native of Carterville, Ill., Ashton is a biological sciences major with a 3.92 GPA. The third baseman hit .277 with 27 RBI for SIU and was third on the team with 35 runs scored. She also led the nation with 23 sacrifice hits.
In order to be eligible for the MVC Scholar-Athlete teams, student-athletes must have at 3.2 GPA or higher, be at least a sophomore in athletic and academic standing and meet certain playing requirements.

You know that heart disease and stroke are still the No. 1 and No. 3 killers of women. But did you know more women die of cardiovascular disease and stroke than the next four causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer? Did you also know that 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease, which if controlled could reduce their risk?
These statistics are alarming and give reason to believe that heart disease or stroke has already touched you or someone you love.
February 4 is National Wear Red day. Who's Going Red? All across the country, people have been wearing red to show their support for Go Red for Women and to help raise awareness of heart disease. But it's not just individuals who Go Red. Companies are joining the movement and so are entire cities!
In celebration of Heart Month and National Wear Red Day, the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women and Macy's invite you to grab your red stilettos and strut for your heart!
Great prizes provided by Macy's and Huntington Hospital including first to strut across the finish line.
Free blood pressure screenings to be provided on site by Huntington Hospital
February 3, 2011 | 11am-1pm
Hosted at the Macy's at Glendale Galleria
Glendale, California
To register for the Stiletto Strut, please contact
Danielle Dietz at (213) 291-7048 or email at email@example.com
I care that heart disease is the number one killer of women. I care because heart disease interrupted my life, big time, more than once.
Over 400,000 lost their lives to heart disease last year. We must learn our risk factors and we can do this by attending events in our area. Watch for them this upcoming month of February. Mark your calendar and make time to attend.
I support my local American Heart Association. I am Lois Trader, the LA Heart Health Examiner.

Pop beauty Jamelia has lambasted inherently racist English police for continuously harassing her whilst driving her expensive car. A chafed Jamelia took to her twitter to tweet her anger and frustration at her recent stop and search by West Midlands police:
"The police make me f****** sick. The amount of times I've been pulled over for nothing is ridiculous - at least once a month. Racism is alive and kicking.
I was in my car parked up. They said they have reason to believe my tax disc is counterfeit. When I asked them what this 'reason' was, they were stumped.They checked EVERYTHING... including tyre pressure (all legit). They went on to say they don't see how this can be my car! They just saw a black girl in an adidas tracksuit and cap, in an expensive car."
I empathise greatly with Jamelia as I have been on the receiving end of this poppycock by racial intolerant English police who have nothing better to do than bully young black women. In March of this year, I was stopped in central London for "driving too cautiously" by these cloaked bigots called officers. He said in his opinion people who drive my type of car( Mercedes A Class) are always uninsured! LMARS!(Laughing My Afro Roots Straight!). What a load of cock and bull nonsense. I advise you all to keep calm when stopped clearly for being black and driving a nice car. It happened to legendary black British boxer Frank Bruno some months back; read it here
Don't let the actions of some MET officers who clearly have a vacuos black hole where their brains should be bring you down. Stay strong Jamelia! The idiots who stopped you are just angry because the second hand version of your car's value is their annual salary!

As some of you may know I spent a week in San Diego at the world renown SEALFIT academy last October. Upon my successful completion of the 5 day emursion course I brought home a taste of this intense program to our students called HELL WEEK. Complete five 0500 classes that will push the limits of your body and "FORGE MENTAL STRENGTH"
Then students had to return for a 2nd class anytime the same day for a total of 10 WODs in 5 days. We had a success rate of 100% completion 32 out of 32. The course has become so popular that we have added it to our calendar twice in 2011. The week of March 14-18 is HELL WEEK II.

College Hockey:CCHA looking to track down past Mason Cup winners
The CCHA announced Wednesday that it has launched a "Search for Mason Cup Champions" to find all former CCHA players with their name engraved on the Mason Cup, the trophy awarded to the league's annual playoff champion.
The league's website will include a page to track the progress of finding members of each of the 41 Mason Cup championship teams, including their hometowns, highest level of hockey played and their current occupations.
To aid in the search, the league will reach out to CCHA fans through Facebook (Facebook.com/CCHAhockey) and Twitter (@CCHAhockey).
The league also plans to invite all CCHA alumni to the final CCHA championship weekend and awards show next March at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
"With the help of our member schools and fans, we are looking forward to finding our Mason Cup champions and making our final season and CCHA championship a celebration of the league's storied 42-year history," said CCHA commissioner Fred Pletsch in a news release.

Legal & human rights
Indigenous and other forest peoples experience racial and cultural discrimination, are denied rights to lands and livelihoods, to organise and to represent themselves, and, in short, are hindered in myriad ways from fully exercising and enjoying their right to self-determination. FPP provides technical legal and related assistance to help forest peoples tackle these injustices. By supporting their organisations, nations and/or communities to understand and use national and international legal processes, we assist forest peoples to challenge violations of their rights, promote alternatives, including through legislative and other reforms, and pursue legal cases through the courts and international bodies.
Regional and international human rights mechanisms
Indigenous and other forest peoples may use regional and international human rights mechanisms to promote and seek enforcement of their rights. Strategic use of these mechanisms may address specific problems affecting individuals, communities or peoples and also contributes to the interpretation and creation of international law. In support of its partners, FPP makes extensive use of the United Nations and regional human rights mechanisms, including the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the ILO, the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights. In 2007, for example, the Saramaka People of central Suriname obtained a landmark judgment in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights with the support of FPP's Legal and Human Rights Programme.
Country-level advocacy
Numerous actions are led at national level by forest peoples for the recognition of their human rights. Particular efforts are devoted to the effective implementation of international and regional standards and their harmonisation with national legislation. Community consultations and national and local advocacy processes can lead to submission of complaints to national human rights institutions or to litigation before national courts or tribunals, including by using human rights guaranteed by the country's constitution and international human rights law.
In Nepal, the process of drafting the new Constitution has failed to ensure that indigenous peoples are able to participate through their freely chosen representatives. Rather, the Constituent Assembly, the body tasked with drafting the new Constitution, is comprised solely of political party nominees and candidates. This was challenged in the Nepal Supreme court and was also raised with the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, both in 2009 (see submission). The CERD adopted two communications under its early warning and urgent action procedures calling on Nepal to ensure effective participation by indigenous peoples in the drafting of the new constitution and that indigenous peoples consent be obtained. The UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Indigenous Peoples, Professor S. James Anaya, also conducted a country visit to Nepal in November 2008 and concluded that the procedures available for the inclusion of indigenous peoples in the Constitution drafting process were incompatible with Nepal's international commitments. His report is available here. The Supreme Court of Nepal finally issued a directive in April 2013 ordering the government to consider the representation and participation of indigenous peoples in constitution making processes. Although by this time the Constituent Assembly, tasked with drafting the constitution, was dissolved after it failed to reach consensus on the new constitution, this decision by the Supreme Court will be significant for future decision-making processes at government level.
The advocacy work led by indigenous peoples in Africa is another example: drawing on the African Commission on Human and Peoples' rights' report on indigenous peoples, indigenous peoples on the continent are demanding the full recognition of their rights. As many African constitutions and laws do not recognise the existence of indigenous peoples per international and regional human rights law, indigenous peoples often make extensive use of those principles at country level in order to be heard. In Kenya, for example, the African Commission ruled that the government was responsible for the violation of the Endorois indigenous people's rights when they were evicted to make way for a wildlife reserve. This landmark ruling marked a major step forward for indigenous rights in Africa. For more information please click here.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know what I've found regarding these two headphones.
As you can see in the picture. My Sennheisers have taken a beating over the years. I've actually had them for almost four years now, and I originally got them for gaming(don't ask me why. Haha)
I started getting into FL about a year and a half ago, and decided it was finally time to get a new pair of headphones, but this time some more studio oriented ones rather than DJ headphones.
After reading a lot about many different varieties of headphones online I finally decided to go with the ATH-M50's.
I originally purchased the Senhheisers on sale for $90 and I got a great deal on the ATH-M50's for $110 (open box).
As far as build quality goes. The Sennheisers are good, but the M50's are great!
The Sennheisers bar that goes over your head is simply supported by a single thin bar of metal with some plastic encasing it. The M50's on the other hand not only have a bar of metal that's thicker than the HD 280's, but also a thick piece of solid plastic attached to it. It feels much stronger and won't break in half life my HD 280's did.
Both pairs are very comfortable, and I can't decide on which ones I could keep on longer without getting an ache in my head. So as far as comfort-ability goes they're both great!
Keep in mind this is just what my ears are telling me, but I honestly think the M50's sound is much better than the HD 280's. The high end on the M50's is what I really notice. I can focus on reverb tails and the high end on my samples much easier, but with the HD 280's I had a very hard time doing so. The bass level is about the same on both pairs but I feel that the M50s recreate it a little better. I've noticed that my mixes transfer to my monitors much nicer than they did with the HD 280's also.
I'd say. There's no reason not to go with the ATH M50's over the HD 280's. Just as long as you can find a good pair of M50's for the same price as the HD 280's that is.
I know a very well known producer in my area and he also uses the M50's over any other pair, and I also would recommend them to anyone looking for some solid and all around great sounding headphones.
If I had to give these two pairs a rating. I'd say the Sennheiser's would get a 6/10 due to the lack of durability and sound. And the Audio Technica's a 9/10 because of their build quality and sound. Like I said though. The prices are quite a bit different so that makes the difference somewhat understandable.
