On the 17th May 2014, Arsenal ended their 9 year trophy drought by beating Hull City at Wembley in the FA Cup Final. A wonder strike from Santi Cazorla, a Koscielny tap in, and an extra time winner from Aaron Ramsey saw Arsenal claim their first piece of silverware since FA Cup glory back in 2005.
It was a terrible start for Arsenal. They found themselves 2-0 down within 9 minutes after goals from Chester and Davies and were crumbling at every set piece Hull had, but a monumental effort over 120 minutes saw them turn the tie around, and come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2. It was a fitting moment that Aaron Ramsey returned from injury to score the winning goal. The Welshman, who has undoubtedly been Arsenal's player of the season, slotted the ball past McGregor with the outside of his foot, from Giroud's cheeky back heel assist. It has taken Ramsey some time to adapt to life at Arsenal, with many fans calling for him to be sold just a year ago, but he has risen to the challenge, outshone their £42.5 million pound German, and proved that he is one of the best in the business on his day.
It wasn't really a surprise that Arsenal clinched victory, as Hull's form was poor going into the match and besides Theo Walcott's absence Arsenal had a fully fit squad. It was the fact that it took extra time to see off Steve Bruce's men that was quite alarming, but that's the beauty of the FA Cup, this time last year we saw Wigan beat Manchester City!
For a team of Arsenals stature to have to wait just short of a decade to win another trophy proves that something over recent years has gone terribly wrong. The lack of money spent, and the dreadful performances in big games over the years has cost them dearly. Although they have been consistent in qualifying for the Champions League they have never really mounted a proper title challenge. The Champions League defeat to Barcelona and the League Cup defeat to Birmingham are the closest this team have come to genuine success. They have repeatedly flattered to deceive. For now though, they are the current holders of the FA Cup, and with Arsene Wenger set to sign a new deal in the next couple of days, they need to invest heavily in order to keep up with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City.
It has become somewhat of a running joke over the season as to just how long ago it was that Arsenal won a trophy, but they have proved that they are not just the nearly men. Yes it was an easy run to the final, and yes they looked rather unconvincing along the way, but never the less, they are FA Cup champions, and that will forever be written into their History. Roll on 2023!

How Many of These Palm Sunday Facts Do You Know?
By San Jose REALTOR® and Silicon Valley guide Michelle Carr Crowe
Palm Sunday is celebrated annually throughout Catholic and Christian churches in Silicon Valley, Calif. It happens on the sixth Sunday of Lent, occurring exactly one week before Easter Sunday.
Palm Sunday commemorates the event of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey and being greeted by exuberant crowds of people waving palms and shouting "Hosanna".
How many of these Palm Sunday facts do you know?
1. What holiday was happening when Jesus rode into Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday?
A. Hanukkah
B. Passover
C. Yom Kippur
D. Seder
2. How many of the four gospels of the Bible mention Palm Sunday?
A. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Peter
B. Matthew
C. Matthew, Mark and Luke
D. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
3. What does Hosanna mean?
A. You're the king
B. Save now
C. God with us
D. Who is this?
4. What was the important symbolism of Jesus riding in on a donkey?
A. Jesus was too holy to walk like a regular man
B. Jesus was planning a sneak attack to overthrow the Roman government
C. It was the traditional mode of travel used when a new king was arriving to ascend the throne
D. Just as Jesus' mother Mary rode on a donkey to Bethlehem, Jesus rode on one into Jerusalem
5. What do palm branches symbolize?
A. Victory of a conqueror over a foe
B. Purity-palms covered the dirt and manure to make the way "clean" for Jesus
C. Forgiveness of sins
D. Being delivered from slavery
Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem is found in all four gospels (Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19 and John 12.) Riding on a donkey demonstrated Jesus was the rightful king, as this was the traditional travel mode of royalty when first taking up a throne.
Hosanna means "save now" as the people anticipated Jesus would take up his throne and take up arms against their current Roman rulers. The palm branches symbolized victory over a hopefully soon-to-be-conquered foe. Below is Matthew's gospel of the first Palm Sunday.
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away...
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, "Who is this?" the crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee." (Matthew 21:1-3, 6-11).
To experience Palm Sunday, please join one of the many local churches Sunday morning.

After selling millions of Galaxy S3 handsets, Samsung has the tech world's attention. With countless eyeballs fixed on the reveal of the Galaxy S4, the company presented a minor hardware update with tons of new software features. Is the Galaxy S4 significant enough to warrant an upgrade from the Galaxy S3? Let's see how the specs – and other features – of Samsung's hottest Galaxies compare.Read More
No manufacturer was more responsible for Android's rise than HTC. In 2010, the Taiwanese company was king of the hill, releasing the first Nexus device (the weak-selling Nexus One), and the first 4G phone (the hot-selling EVO 4G). Fast-forward to today, though, and Samsung has cleaned HTC's clock. Does its new handset, the HTC One, provide hope for a comeback? Read on, as we compare its specs – and other features – to the Samsung Galaxy S III.Read More
Great companies evolve. In 2007, Apple redefined the smartphone with the release of the iPhone. Google then responded quickly with the iPhone-inspired Android OS. But BlackBerry (known then as Research in Motion) stood still. Six years later, the company is finally embracing keyboardless, multitouch handsets. Does the new BlackBerry Z10 stand a chance against Samsung's record-breaking Galaxy S III? Let's see how their specs – and harder-to-define intangibles – compare.Read More
Last year, the Samsung Galaxy S III was the undisputed King of Android. Many expect its inevitable follow-up to repeat in 2013. But one company hoping to carve out its own piece of the pie is Sony. Its Xperia Z is the Japanese company's most serious foray into smartphones. How does it stack up against 2012's best? Let's take a look.Read More
In just five years, smartphones have gone from expensive novelties to fundamental parts of our lives. If you're shopping for a new smartphone, the choices can be daunting.

Does Android have a new King? This title is usually passed by default to the latest Nexus phone, but the Nexus 4 isn't usual. Though it's a top-of-the-line handset, Google and LG made a few trade-offs. How does the Nexus 4 compare to the reigning Android monarch, the Samsung Galaxy S III? Let's take a look …Read More
After reviving the Razr brand last year from a flip-phone graveyard, Motorola has tweaked its formula with two proper sequels. The Razr HD and Razr HD Maxx (accompanied by the Droid moniker in the U.S.) aren't exactly true to their names, as they're both beefier than their predecessors. How do these more balanced handsets stack up next to Samsung's Android-leading Galaxy S III?Read More
Shoppers can be fickle. Two companies will release competing products that are similar in nearly every way, and one will often outsell the other by leaps and bounds. This can often be attributed to marketing or timing, but sometimes the reasoning is a mystery. When the new HTC One X+ is released in November, we could potentially see this again. Let's see how it compares to the present King of Android, the Samsung Galaxy S3.Read More
There's nothing like a good rivalry. Whether it's Ali vs. Frazier, FC Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, or Magic vs. Bird, gritty duels have a way of getting people pumped. In this Digital Age, consumer tech has its own sets of sworn opponents: in the 80s it was Apple vs. IBM, later we saw Windows vs. OS X, and gamers have Playstation vs. Xbox. In 2012, however, the biggest tech rivalry is the match between the two biggest players in mobile: Apple and Samsung. This one has gotten nasty, extending into international courts. Things only get more interesting with the release of Apple's iPhone 5.Read More
Samsung is currently the number one Android handset maker in the world, with market researcher NPD recently reporting that one in every four smartphones sold in the U.S. bear the Samsung logo. So it comes as no surprise that the Galaxy S III has become one of the most highly anticipated phones of 2012, but does it live up to the hype?Read More

One of the first truly great films of 2014 is "Belle". "Belle" is directed by Amma Asante, written by Misan Sagay, and produced by Damian Jones. It stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tom Wilkinson, Miranda Richardson, Penelope Wilton, Sam Reid, Matthew Goode, Emily Watson, Sarah Gadon, Tom Felton, and James Norton. The film is a loosely based of the life of Dido Elizabeth Belle (a wonderful Gugu Mbatha-Raw) a woman of mixed race who is raised by her uncle, the Lord Mansfield, the Lord Chief Justice, at his estate of Kenwood House.
What makes the film so wonderful is that is brings together several difficult, yet profound, threads into one cohesive and moving story. One one hand, we have the issues with Belle being raised as a aristocrat while also having a mother who was a slave. Then there's her cousin, Lady Elizabeth Murray, who does not have to face the racial constraints of the time period but does not have the money Belle has in which to secure a proper match in a husband. Furthermore, Belle and Elizabeth's uncle is presiding over a slavery case (Somerset v Stewart). Added to the mix are the men in the two cousin's lives, James Ashford (played by a competent if not type cast Tom Felton), Oliver Ashford (James Norton ), and John Davinier (Sam Reid ).
"Belle" is a thoughtful film. It is filled with sharp dialogue, moving scenes and fantastic acting. The movie, like 2012's "Lincoln", uses one court case to demonstrate the larger social and moral issues of the time period. This is a nicely done approach as it allows the viewer to see the complex dichotomy that Lord Mansfield is forced to consider between the laws at play in the Somerset v Stewart case and the fact that he has Belle, the girl his has come to love as his own, at home.
Belle herself is a strong, complicated, and interesting character. The love triangle that she finds herself into is believable and lovely to watch on screen. Furthermore, the fact that "Belle" allows movie audiences to see a woman of color in a period film who's not acting as a slave or domestic servant is groundbreaking. Her tale adds to the growing list of movies who have begun to tackle more multifaceted sides to race and slavery in history. Do go see it Hartford, here.

I am a happy little camper. Just fired the first 100 rounds out of my newly issued Gen 4 G22, and it was awesome! The recoil seemed to be smoothed out a bit, and the grip was noticably more comfortabe with the slightly slimmer profile and the RTF2. I did get some nicks on my strong hand thumb from the larger and sharper edged mag release, but nothing that wont callouse over in time. Shot a 290 out of 300 on the qualification, and had some of the best times on the line out of the holster and rounds on target on the rapid engagement drills.
Can't wait to take that baby home, might have to sell the Gen 3 G23 that I have at home and replace her with a Gen 4.... :-)

Valero strikes in 'Lightweight Lightning!'
Unbeaten Valero KOs Pitalua for vacant WBC belt
Ringside by Byron Spurlock and Jeff Zimmerman
Photos by Chris Cozzone / Fightwireimages.com
Former WBA Jr. Lightweight Champion Edwin Valero didn't waste any time Saturday night at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas, keeping his record perfect by dismantling Antonio Pitalua in the second round for the vacant WBC lightweight belt.
The scheduled 12-round championship fight topped off a heavy night of lightweight action televised on PPV and promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.
Valero not only made a statement with his destruction of Pitalua—who'd not lost a fight in nearly eight years—but staked his claim as the champ to beat at 135 pounds.
In the opening round Valero looked to initiate the action, throwing hard straight left hands that had Pitalua backing up. Pitalua wasn't intimidated, but rather waited to see what the undefeated kayo artist brought to the table.
He found out in round two.
As the second round got underway it was all Valero, who was not only exploding all over Pitalua, but the boxing world, in general, with an attack that could only compared to Manny Pacquiao.
With the first knockdown coming from a right hand from Valero, it was clear that this was not going to be the last one for the night, much less the round.
The second knockdown came from the overwhelming volume of punches as Valero threw power shot after power shot from every direction, putting Pitalua down again.
Referee Lawrence Cole would later step in to stop the action as Pitalua would make it to his feet for the standing eight count, but not before Valero would initiate the onslaught once again, flooring Pitalua a third and final time.
This time, Ref Cole stopped the bout, official time :49.
With the win, Valero improves to 25-0, 25 KOs.
Pitalua, suffering his first loss since 2001, falls to 46-4, 40 KOs.
After the fight, Valero called out Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao.
Katsidis too much for Chavez
Hometown favorite and former super featherweight champion, Jesus Chavez (44-5, 30 KOs) put up a gallant effort against the younger, unorthodox, former WBO Interim Lightweight Champion Michael Katsidis (25-2, 20 KOs) but came up short by failing to come out for the eighth round of a scheduled ten-rounder.
Katsidis was too strong for Chavez, who suffered a deep cut above his forehead midway through the fight from an apparent headbutt. With blood pouring down his face and splashing those ringside every time Katsidis landed, it seemed only a matter of time before the bout might end.
When Referee Jon Schorle went to check on Chavez prior to the eighth round, he was notified by Chavez and his corner that he was done for the night.
The fight was halted.
Katsidis' continuous assault and sheer strength was too much for the more methodical former champion as he imposed his will on Chavez, landing two shots for every one of Chavez's.
Chavez did show glimpses of making this a fight when he came out in the fifth round with three straight overhand rights to the head of Katsidis. The crowd erupted with each one as they began their pro-Chavez chants which appeared on and off again throughout the fight.
Chavez also showed some good work to the body at times, but Katsidis would muscle Chavez to the ropes each time and unload combinations that Chavez had no answer for.
This was a crossroads fight for both fighters, with one trying to keep his career alive. For Chavez, it was a last chance for another title shot. For Katsidis, it paved the way for bigger fights, bigger paydays in the talent-rich lightweight division.
In the end, it was Katsidis who proved he was ready for the next stage of his career while we may have seen the end of the respected Chavez who gave his adopted hometown of Austin, Texas a great effort, even in defeat.
–Jeff Zimmerman
Escobedo decisions Hernandez in 10
In a ten-round lightweight action, pitting rising star against spiraling veteran, Vicente Escobedo took on former champ Carlos "Famoso" Hernandez in a blazing, back-and-forth battle.
Hernandez looked to use his size and experience in the bout. As the opening bell rang he immediately rushed Vicente, but was getting hit while doing it.
Vicente looked to use some counter punching as he landed the more accurate convincing shots in the first round. Vicente even looked comfortable against the ropes, keeping his composure against the overpunching Hernandez.
Late in the round, Hernandez went down from a right hand that landed flush on the chin of Hernandez. 'Famoso' beat the count and appeared to be fine, signaling to his wife, Vernonica, at ringside, that he was okay.
But things didn't change much in the second round, and Hernandez rushed Escobedo again at the sound of the bell. Once again, another overhand right sent Hernandez to the canvas.
Showing he was clearly there to fight, Hernandez showed his tremendous heart and will by fighting his way back into the fight, second knockdown or not.
The third round was clearly the best round of the fight as the 38-year-old Hernandez began to connect with a few of his shots, appearing to put Escobedo in trouble, at times. The youngster came right back, throwing telling combinations of his own that wobbled Hernandez. The crowd rose to their feet at the end of the round as both fighters engaged, having fought the majority of the round in the middle of the ring.
In the middle rounds, both fighters begin to look a little tired and gassed from the sure energy that had been put out in the ring. By the mid rounds, however, it looked as if Hernandez was battling his way back into the fight.
In round six, Escobedo proved himself to be the more accurate and effective puncher but Hernandez was determined to impose his will unto the fight. Referee Ruben Carrion ruled a knockdown on Escobedo when his attention was taken away for a split second. The referee looked to time keeper and it was indicated that a knockdown had occurred when, in actuality, what was displayed on the replay screen was Hernandez's left foot stepping on the right foot of Escobedo and, at the same time, delivering what appeared to be a punch. To the crowd's dismay, Escobedo was given a standing eight count and Hernandez was back into the fight with a two-point round.
The remaining rounds had both fighters having moments, each delivering power shots that appeared to hurt the other. Hernandez was continually outboxed but was determined to will his way through this fight, while Escobedo continued to deliver the more accurate crisper shots.
With the tenth and final round beginning, both fighters touched gloves, but then embraced with a hug in the middle of the ring—they preceded to battle it out for the remaining three minutes, leaving nothing in the ring.
At the end of ten, the scorecards swung in Escobedo's favor, 96-91, 94-93 and 95-91.
Escobedo rises to 20-1, 12 KOs, while Hernandez falls to 43-8-1, 24 KOs.–Byron Spurlock
Reyes upsets Diaz
Looking to get back to a title shot, former IBF Lightweight Champion Julio Diaz found himself several stops back when opponent Rolando Reyes scored the biggest upset of the night.
Both fighters started out slow in the opening rounds with Reyes looking to be the counter attacker early. It could've been the long delay starting the bout – both fighters stood in the ring nearly ten minutes – but Diaz looked to be flat with his punches and just pushed at Reyes.
With former champion Diaz not looking his best on this particular night, Reyes took advantage as he slipped in punches that appeared to blindside Diaz to the head repeatedly. Diaz was then rocked by a right hand that would eventually sent him down to the canvas.
Diaz beat the count but was rocked again, this time with a left uppercut against the ropes. The former champ, legs unsteady beneath him, was in deep trouble. Reyes followed up with a right uppercut that all but had Diaz out on his feet.
Putting together a combination of power shots, Reyes finished up Diaz and Referee Gregorio Alvarez had no choice but to call a stop to the fight 2:17 into round five, by TKO.
Reyes improves his record to 31-4-2, 20 KOs, while Diaz falls to 36-5, 26 KOs. –Byron Spurlock
Broner TKOs Rodriguez in 4
In lightweight action, Adrien Broner knew he had the advantage in this fight soon after the opening bell, hitting opponent Angel Rodriguez at will and slipping his foe's punches.
After Broner used the first round to warm up, the only question then was, what round the knockout would come in.
Rodriguez was knocked down in the third round and looked out of it, but, amazingly, managed to get to his feet and finish the round looking exhausted. Broner took care of business early in the fourth round by not sitting on Rodriguez, delivering power shots to the head and body. Referee John Shurly called a stop to the fight 27 seconds into the round, improving Broner to 8-0, 6 KOs.
Rodriguez falls to 3-2, 1. –Byron Spurlock
Thurman-Garcia no-contest
In jr. middleweight action, Keith Thurman (8-0-1, 8 KOs) landed power shot after power shot tonight against a game Francisco Garcia (5-2-1, 4 KOs), and was on the verge of a KO win when the fight was ruled a no-contest.
An accidental head clash between the two caused a stoppage in the fight and referee Rueben Carion called the ring doctor Lyle Cohen to analyze a deep gash in Garcia's forehead. Excessive bleeding called for a halt and the bout was ruled a no-contest. –Byron Spurlock
Castillo defeats Ledesma
Veteran Ricardo Castillo (37-7, 25 KOs), brother to former champ Jose Luis Castillo, withstood a first round knockdown to edge his way to a decision win over Andres Ledesma (15-13-1, 10 KOs).
In the first, Ledesma landed a left hook that floored Castillo. Surviving the round, he fought his way back, stalking Ledesma throughout the fight. Ledesma was still able to keep the fight close with some nice combinations while on the run. In the end, Castillo had too much for Ledesma as he appeared to be tiring as the fight wore on.
After eight, scores were 78-73, 76-75, 76-75 for Castillo. –Jeff Zimmerman
Lopez survives knockdown, defeats Ramirez
Featherweights Ricky Lopez (3-0 2 KOs) and Felipe Ramirez (0-3) came out firing from the opening bell in a four-round barnburner.
Within seconds of the opening bell, Ramirez sent Lopez to the canvas with a straight left. The rest of the round saw both fighters unleash bombs on each other as neither fighter backed down. In a close battle, Lopez won a split decision with 38-37 on two judges scorecard and a surprising 39-36 for Ramirez on the other. –Jeff Zimmerman
Charlo edges Garcia
It what appeared to be much closer bout than the final score indicated, Jermell Charlo (7-0 3 KOs) won a six-round unanimous decision over Carlos Garcia (3-3-1 3 KOs). Both fighters seemed reluctant to let their hands go, but Charlo seemed to have a little more ring generalship and won a fairly easy decision on the judge's scorecard, 60-54 and 59-55 on the other two. Veteran referee, Jon Schorle, was the third man in the ring. –Jeff Zimmerman
Bazille loses debut
Kicking off "Lightweight Lightning" in a four-rounder between junior middleweights, Malik Bazille lost his pro debut to Juan DeLeon (1-1). DeLeon proved to be the aggressor throughout the fight and escaped with a majority decision over the inexperienced Bazille who took several hard shots in the last couple of rounds. Even with the legendary Bernard Hopkins coaching Bazille from ringside, it wasn't enough to muster a victory in his pro debut. The final scores read 39-37 twice and 38-38 on the third. –Jeff Zimmerman

Works, But It's Loud And Painful...When I saw it on the commercial, I decided to try it. When I turned it on, it was really loud, and it scared then sh** outta me. Once I [kind of] got used to the noise and began using it, it was really painful. And even though the product description in the box said Id eventually get used to the pain, I never did.But... if you dont care about pain or noise, the Tweeze really does work. I guess some results come with a price...

Update 4/24/14: Teddy was adopted on 4/18/14!
A dog who nobody wants to call their own? Truly unwanted as a companion?
Seems unlikely for a cute dog who is gentle and loving with people and other dogs, but after nearly a year at the Chautauqua County Animal Shelter in Sedan, Kan., those who have been trying their best to find Teddy a home are beginning to wonder.
Teddy was owner surrendered in May of 2013 - multiple attempts to even find a foster home for this sweet dog have failed...much less, attempts for a forever home.
Teddy, a heeler mix, is estimated to be six or seven years of age - he is neutered and up to date on his shots and he wants nothing more than to be a lap dog. Despite his many wonderful attributes, he waits...no interest, no inquiries.
Please take a moment to network Teddy's information - somewhere out there is one person who would like to give this sweet boy a real home.
- Shelter phone is 620-725-3561
- Facebook thread here
- Approx. 60 lbs

Despicable Me 2 (2013) Dir: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud. Rated PG for rude humor and mild action.
This film is currently playing in theaters everywhere.
Sam Carell returns as the voice of Gru, the "supervillain" from the first animated film, Despicable Me. Gru is now an honest, ex-supervillain who is trying to raise his three girls, Margo, Edith, and Agnes. Having given up villainy, he is trying his hand at inventing a new type of jelly. Meanwhile, the Anti-Villain League wants to recruit him to investigate a stolen, powerful serum. Things get heavy for Gru when he is partnered up with the overachieving, taser-happy AVL agent Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig).
If you enjoyed the first film, you will most likely enjoy this one. That is pretty much all you need to know to decide if this is a film for you. If you haven't seen it, you will still enjoy this one. This film is a fun, full-on cartoon made of 3D stuff, but well done. Despite the presence of bunch of kids in the film, this one should please the older crowd as well. You see, this one is also a bit of a romantic comedy, with plenty of humor that adults (who have ever been on dates) will appreciate. Some of the funnier scenes involve his neighbor trying to fix him up with some of her loony, single female friends.
The characters are ultimately what drive this film, and they are intricate and fully-realized. The main character, Gru, is as good as one can ever get in an animated film. I love the character design and his movements. Steve Carell almost effortlessly brings life to this character. It's pretty much like how I've felt about Woody and Buzz in the Toy Story series. Just like the first film, the kids in the film, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, genuinely behave like real kids. Kristen Wiig is excellent as the wacky, loony, but quite capable Lucy Wilde, who partners up with Gru in his mission. The yellow, blobby Minions from the first film are also back—and provide much of the slapstick.
Admittedly, the villain in this film isn't as outrageous nor as memorable as Vector (Jason Segel had done an amazing job, equally as good as Carell) from the first film, but this film isn't so much about that competitive dynamic anyway. The story is really more about Gru. The subtleties of facial expressions, underlying humor, and complex human behavior are all still here. There's also broad humor, some cheesy ones, and some genuine, emotional moments. I enjoyed how this sequel simply builds on the character arc of Gru instead of just revisiting the same idea but just making it bigger. And, I love that. For the third installment, one can see that there could be plenty of directions this series could go.
Thematically, like the first one, this one is not super-deep. It's entertaining, action-packed, has plenty of slapstick, and wacky humor. It's not existentialist and philosophical like a Pixar film. This film entertains, and does that quite well. The characters are what stand out in this film—they are the kind that you wouldn't mind revisiting again and again.
My Rating: *** ½ out of **** stars.

The temples, embedded in picturesque wilderness, are located near Nokor Krau (or Angkor Krau) village, north of Angkor Thom. They are in Bayon style, constructed with sandstone and laterite about 1200.
Banteay Thom means "The Big Citadel". So it looks: enclosed by a stately wall and a gallery with gates to west and, much bigger, to east, are three stately towers, lined north-south, and two fire shrines.
The enclosure wall opens to the east and west with gates. A cruciform terrace precedes the stately east gate.
Similar to Prasat Prei Prasat there are a series of water basins in the outer enclosure.
The arrangement of the towers is peculiar, like at a Shiva temple. There are numerous reliefs; the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are scratched out.
Recently many Devata reliefs were rudely damaged.
See the 'Great Departure' at the south face of the southern tower.

Locally also called Prasat Chan Ta Oun, Prasat Prei Prasat consists of a single tower with mandapa, plus a fire shrine, all enclosed by a laterite wall with gates to east and west.
It is surrounded by a chain of water basins, bordered by laterite steps. These water basins had to supply the monks. The entire compound was enclosed by a moat.
The temple made the centre of a Buddhist monastery. The base of the tower's walls is sheathed by a second wall, decorated like a half gallery.
The pediment relief at the east entrance shows the standing Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara between Vishnu and Brahma. His face is scratched out.
Photo album
A new laterite road branches north from the road west of Angkor Wat, after 1.5 km. Follow this road some 4.5 km.
After the big bridge, just before the next, smaller bridge you find a stall at the right side, were they sell water and sugar cane juice. Here you ask for Ghim.
Ghim, 17, is living nearby. (His sister can also make the job.) Ask Ghim for 'Banteay Thom'. There you ask him for 'Prasat Chan Ta Oun'. He will show you the way.
You need a motor bike and may be dust protection; the Angkor ticket is not required. It is a fine and easy morning trip.

There are many reasons Colossalcon in Sandusky, Ohio is growing larger every year. Nicknamed "vacation con" by many attendees, it's the official kickoff to summer in northern Ohio and takes place at the beautiful Kalahari indoor waterpark resort.
For gamers, it's only gotten better each year – the game room has grown larger. Even to the point where more projectors had to be used for tournaments. This year's game room even had a giant inflatable pirate ship in the back for players who had to get up and stretch their legs between rounds! Most attendees only wished the gaming room could have been open longer – more time to crush their opponents at Super Smash Bros. or dance the night away with Dance Dance Revolution (when not at the rave, of course).
Colossalcon also has the superb reputation in attracting some of the best cosplayers around, and gaming characters are always crowd-pleasers! This year, a massive group of Borderlands costumers came together to duke it out wasteland style. Pokemon characters never go out of style as con attendees got creative in portraying their favorite fighting monsters, their trainers, and the villains of Team Rocket! An extremely impressive Dragonborn from Skyrim roamed the hallways, and he even had glowing red eyes. Zelda fans celebrated the newest Zelda title "A Link Between Worlds" with some impressive costumes, and Final Fantasy characters were also popular with cosplayers.
One of the fun costuming aspects of a con at an indoor waterpark is how many people will come up with a swimsuit version of their favorite character. There were a number of Pokemon themed swimsuits that took to the outdoor waterpark, as well as Resident Evil, and a number of Marvel superheroes! It seemed as though not only the attendees, but the characters themselves had decided to take a well-earned break!
Colossalcon has really utilized the increased space of the Kalahari convention center to suit their needs – everything ran smoothly the entire weekend. Between the con essentials of a dealer's room, artist's alley, and a number of interesting panels, nothing was too backed up or out of control. One of the events that is unique to Colossalcon (which other cons should seriously consider adopting) was the Otaku flea market on Sunday. The convention sets aside a few rooms and plenty of hallway space for attendees to come free of charge, and spread out their video game, anime, and pop culture items to sell. It's a great way to pick up deals, lighten the load back home, and encourage interaction between fans.
Overall, this year's Colossalcon was an absolute success. The organizers are doing a great job, and keeping fans eager and waiting for next year!

'Algae assassin' tackles green swimming pools
Thousands of abandoned and neglected swimming pools are turning into breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
"One of these pools that goes south or turns green and has mosquitoes in it can literally impact an entire neighborhood, where all the surrounding homes are at risk and in jeopardy," Michael Breen with Green Bullet said.
Breen contracts with sixteen area cities including West Palm Beach and Wellington to clean up dangerous, green pools.
"They nicknamed me the algae assassin...I enjoy assassinating algae," Breen said.
Breen uses a chemical product he developed called the Green Bullet.
He says he is especially passionate about his work because years ago when his pool turned green after a hurricane his entire family got sick.
"When it turned green the entire family suffered from dengue fever. We were all sick for over a month and there is nothing you can do about it," Breen said.
Breen says he sees some of the worst issues at foreclosed homes.
"What was once a personal asset has now become a community liability," Breen said.
Experts say not only are unkempt pools breeding grounds for mosquitoes, but they also pose a major drowning risk because if a child falls in you can't see them at the bottom of the pool.

The Bravo network has struck gold with the "real housewives" franchise. From Atlanta to Beverly Hills, there is never a dull moment. "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" has been filled with celebrities and celebrity wives. The upcoming season is set to see some major cast changes. Carlton Gebbia and Joyce Giraud will not be returning. According to a July 23 report from People, Eileen Davidson will be joining the cast alongside Lisa Rinna. Both ladies have appeared on the NBC soap "Days of Our Lives" together.
Eileen Davidson began playing Kristen DiMera on "Days of Our Lives" in 1993. Lisa Rinna played Billie Reed from 1992 until leaving the show in 1995. Both ladies have returned to reprise there roles in later years. Davidson and Rinna have a long history, and fans are looking forward to what they have to offer on something like "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
It has been confirmed by Bravo that Lisa Rinna will definitely be headed to "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" for Season 5, but nothing has been said about Eileen Davidson. The Twitter feed for the hashtag "RHOBH" has been buzzing about the rumored addition to the cast. From Denise Richards to Nancy Lee Grahn, everyone has something to say about Davidson and Rinna being cast. Rinna was seen filming for her part of the show earlier this week.
Fans of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" are interested to see how Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna will fit in with the rest of the cast. "Days of Our Lives" fans will definitely be tuning in to watch the actresses in their real-life roles. Will this be a great career move for the ladies, or does it signal the end of their time as real actors in this crazy world?

|Periodic table for topological insulators and superconductors
|GAP Seminar
|Alexei Kitaev, CalTech
|Professor Kitaev will elaborate on his physics talk earlier this week. In particular, he will give exact definitions of the key objects and sketch a proof of a theorem he mentioned, which is a kind of controlled K-homology where matrices and epsilon-delta arguments are used instead of infinite Hilbert spaces. Abstract of his earlier talk: Gapped phases of noninteracting fermions, with and without charge conservation and time-reversal symmetry, are classified using Bott periodicity. The symmetry and spatial dimension determines a general universality class, which corresponds to one of the 2 types of complex and 8 types of real Clifford algebras. The phases within a given class are further characterized by a topological invariant, an element of some Abelian group that can be 0, Z, or Z_2. The interface between two infinite phases with different topological numbers must carry some gapless mode. Topological properties of finite systems are described in terms of K-homology. This classification is robust with respect to disorder, provided electron states near the Fermi energy are absent or localized. In some cases (e.g., integer quantum Hall systems) the K-theoretic classification is stable to interactions, but a counterexample is also given.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. employers advertised more jobs in May than in any month in the past seven years, a sign that this year's strong hiring trend is likely to continue.
More Americans also quit their jobs, a good sign because it usually occurs when workers find new and higher-paying jobs. It also opens up more positions for those out of work.
Employers posted 4.64 million jobs, a 3.8% increase from April's total of 4.46 million, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That's the fourth straight strong gain and is the highest number since June 2007.
The figures come after last week's healthy jobs report and underscore this year's steady improvement in hiring. Employers added a net total of 288,000 jobs in June, the government said last week, the fifth straight month of gains above 200,000. That's the first such stretch in 15 years. The unemployment rate fell to a five-year low of 6.1%.
Tuesday's report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, offers a more complete picture of the job market. It reports figures for overall hiring, as well as the number of quits and layoffs. The monthly jobs figures are a net total of job gains or losses.
Some details of the report weren't as encouraging. Employers have been slow to fill their open jobs, which suggests they are having trouble finding workers with the right skills.
Total hiring actually slipped in May, to 4.72 million from 4.77 million in the previous month.
But the number of people quitting their jobs rose 60,000 to 2.5 million, the highest level since June 2008. More quits indicate workers are confident about their job prospects.
Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen has said she is tracking the overall hiring and quits figures as indicators of the job market's health and dynamism.
Both quits and hiring remain below their pre-recession levels, evidence that the job market isn't yet back to full health.
In the past year, job openings have increased nearly 20%. But total hiring has risen just 4%.
Some economists say that is a sign that many of those out of work don't have the skills needed for the available jobs. Former construction workers or factory employees, for example, may not be able to fill new jobs in health care or other growing fields.
Others argue that companies will have to offer higher pay to attract the workers they need. That could boost overall wages, which have barely kept up with inflation since the recession ended five years ago.
There are other signs pay could rise soon. There are now 2.1 unemployed workers, on average, for every job opening. That is the ratio that typically exists in a healthy economy and indicates employers may have to try harder to fill jobs, perhaps by boosting salaries.
"We think the result is going to be a pickup in wage growth," said Cooper Howes, U.S. economist at Barclays Capital.

Although grown-ups aren't supposed to believe in fairy tales, many women still cling to one — that their husbands will take care of their money. A recent study by Fidelity Investments found that husbands are the primary retirement financial decision maker for 37 percent of couples, and only 17 percent of couples are confident that either spouse could assume responsibility of their joint finances if necessary.
But women who leave investing decisions wholly to their husbands could be making a serious financial mistake. After all, most women ultimately find themselves on their own, often because they become widowed or divorced.
Financial experts say that women who have never invested or learned the basics of investing should make these essential moves:
Pepper Your Husband With Questions
If you're married, ask your husband about each stock, bond, mutual fund and retirement account you own together — and any he owns separately. Get him to tell you how much each is worth and which brokerage, mutual fund company or employer savings plan holds the investments. If he owns investments separately, check to see whether you are listed as his beneficiary.
Having this information will help you assess your retirement prospects, and it will protect you if you divorce or your husband dies. Brette Sember, author of The Divorce Organizer and Planner, says women also need to know where all the paperwork for these investments is located and have access to it.

A Petco lawsuit has been filed by the family of 10-year-old Aidan Pankey who died from rat-bite fever (RBF) just two weeks after having bought a pet rat from Petco. "The Pankey family is filing a lawsuit against Petco claiming various causes of action for strict liability and negligence," reports San Diego's 10News on Feb. 24, 2014.
Aidan Pankey loved his family, his friends, and his female pet rat which he had named Oreo. "He'd pop her on his shoulder and that little rat would hang on," says Aidan's grandmother about the boy's relationship with his pet rat. Of course, the 10-year-old boy was looking forward to having rat babies, so his grandmother took him to the Petco store in Carmel Mountain. Aidan excitedly picked out a male companion for Oreo, called him Alex -- and two weeks later he was dead. "Aidan became sick on a Monday, two weeks after the family bought Alex, and died the next day."
The Petco lawsuit filed by Aidan's parents claims that while Petco's release forms -- including Petco's care sheet for rats and Petco's infectious diseases care sheet – mentioned potentially infectious diseases that can be transmitted from rats, the forms did not state that rat-bite fever can be fatal. Aidan's family did not find out the cause of his death until months later. Aidan's grandmother told 10News that "the medical examiner sent the male rat to the CDC and it came back positive for Rat-bite fever."
When Aidan got sick and his parents took him to the doctor, his symptoms indicated that he had the flu. According to the CDC's information about rat-bite fever (RBF), the disease can develop from bites or scratches from infected rodents (such as rats, mice, and gerbils), handling rodents with the disease (even without a bite or scratch), or consuming food or drink contaminated with the bacteria. There are two different types of RBF, and the symptoms depend on whether it is streptobacillary RBF or spirillary RBF.
Symptoms and signs of streptobacillary RBF include fever, vomiting, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, and a rash. Symptoms "usually occur 3-10 days after exposure to an infected rodent, but can be delayed as long as three weeks."
Symptoms and signs of spirillary RBF (also known as sodoku) can include recurring fever, development of an ulcer at the bite wound, swelling near the wound, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash that shows after the wound has already begun to heal. The symptoms usually occur 7-21 days after exposure to an infected rodent.
In response to the Petco lawsuit, Petco officials provided the following statement to San Diego's 10News team:
"At Petco, we follow what we believe are the industry's strongest standards for companion animal health and welfare, and we require our vendors to meet the same standards for animal care and well-being. We require our live animal suppliers to meet or exceed USDA requirements for the care and treatment of animals, as well as follow strict requirements for housing, feeding, breeding, shipping and caring for sick or injured animals. We leave specific testing protocols to be determined by our vendors unless we identify a reason for concern."
"We're saddened by the Pankey family's tragic loss and are very interested in speaking directly with the family to better understand their claims."
The Petco lawsuit filed by the 10-year-old boy's family mentions "strict liability and negligence." Wendy Patrick, who is a business ethics lecturer at San Diego State University and an attorney, told 10News that waivers filled out by pet buyers do not always protect companies. "Release forms are tricky because when you sign a release form it's telling you about a lot of the risks, but in a lot of cases, it's not telling you about all of the risks. One of the things that these cases bring up is did the manufacturer do enough, did the seller do enough?" Petco sells rats "between $6 and $11." Petco's supplier is Barney's Pets, a large animal wholesaler in Chino, Calif. To test a rat for rat-bite fever would cost around $40 per rat.

RIVERSIDE, CA – On Saturday, May 16, elementary and high school students will have an opportunity to rock the stage at University California of Riverside in the 4th annual Changing Lives Showcase. The red carpet extravaganza is presented by Music Changing Lives, (MCL) a non-profit music and art after-school program for at-risk children and youth, which works to inspire kids through performing arts programs to keep them focused on their education and their futures.
This year the competition will be fierce. Students from four schools in the Moreno Valley Unified School District, where MCL offers its after-school programs will go toe-to-toe to see who has the most talent. Teens from Vista Del Lago High and Moreno Valley High will battle it out, while younger students from Butterfield Elementary and Edgemont Elementary will compete against each other.
There are three categories students can enter in: lyrical, dance and visual arts. The winners will be selected by a panel of celebrity guest judges. As students prepared to compete in the showcase they also fought to increase their school performance and volunteered for a minimum of five hours in their community. Participants are instilled with the message, "Together we can be the change we would like to see in our community."
The Changing Lives Showcase is sponsored by Music Changing Lives, MVUSD, Wells Fargo Foundation, UC Riverside, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, Target, Edison International, Goliath Graffix and Clothes the Deal. Through their support, The Changing Lives Showcase helps spread a positive message about the benefits of expressing yourself through the arts while making school "cool."

I've compared two Openlayers samples:
First one zooms in smoothly, second one just flashes and shows tiles from next zoom level.
The only difference between those two versions is the library - release dev example (second) uses default multi-file version, while the first one - uses some compiled version (not sure from which tag).
Question is: how to enable smooth zoom in Openlayers 2.12? Or how to enable smooth zooming in any Openlayers version ;)
The fluent zoom feature is included by default in 2.13 library:

It is important to receive dental cleanings and exams to prevent gingivitis which is inflammation of the gums. Oral infections, gingivitis and gum disease can become serious if left untreated.
Follow these helpful oral care tips: Get your teeth cleaned twice a year, brush your teeth in the morning and at bedtime, floss daily, brush your tongue, limit the amount of sweets you consume, learn proper cleaning techniques from a dental hygienist and/or dentist.

Most people define greatness through wealth and popularity and position in the corner office. But what I call everyday greatness comes from character and contribution.

I have also found that by making four simple assumptions in our lives we can immediately begin leading a more balanced, integrated, powerful life. They are simple–one for each part of our nature–but I promise you that if you do them consistently, you will find a new wellspring of strength and integrity to draw on when you need it most. 1) For the body–assume you've had a heart attack; now live accordingly. 2) For the mind–assume the half-life of your profession is two years; now prepare accordingly. 3) For the heart–assume everything you say about another, they can overhear; now speak accordingly. 4) For the spirit–assume you have a one-on-one visit with your Creator every quarter; now live accordingly.

There's a common misconception that a person's skill is their talent. Skills, however, are not talents. Talents, on the other hand, require skills. People can have skills and knowledge in areas where their talents do not lie. If they have a job that requires their skills but not their talents, organizations will never tap into their passion or voice. They'll go through the motions, but this will only make them appear to need external supervision and motivation.If you can hire people whose passion intersects with the job, they won't require any supervision at all. They will manage themselves better than anyone could ever manage them. Their fire comes from within, not from without. Their motivation is internal, not external.

When you study the lives of all great achievers--those who have had the greatest influence on others, those who have made things happen--you will find a pattern. Through their persistent efforts and inner struggle, they have greatly expanded their four native human intelligences or capacities. The highest manifestations of these four intelligences are: for mental, vision; for the physical, discipline; for the emotional, passion; for the spiritual, conscience. These manifestations also represent our highest means of expressing our voice.
Source: The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness, Pages: 65
Once you've found your own voice, the choice to expand your influence, to increase your contribution, is the choice to inspire others to find their voice. Inspire (from the Latin inspirare) means to breathe life into another. As we recognize, respect and create ways for others to give voice to all four parts of their nature--physically, mentally, emotionally/socially, spiritually--latent human genius, creativity, passion, talent and motivation are unleashed. It will be those organizations that reach a critical mass of people and teams expressing their full voice that will achieve next-level breakthrough in productivity, innovation and leadership in the market place and society.
Source: The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness, Pages: 31
When you engage in a work that taps your talent and fuels your passion--that rises out of a great need in the world that you feel drawn by conscience to meet--therein lies your voice, your calling, your soul's code.

The 8th Habit, then, is not about adding one more habit to the 7 -- one that somehow got forgotten. It's about seeing and harnessing the power of a third dimension to the 7 Habits that meets the central challenge of the new Knowledge Worker Age. The 8th Habit is to Find Your Voice and Inspire Others to Find Theirs.

Suppose you came upon someone in the woods working to saw down a tree. They are exhausted from working for hours. You suggest they take a break to sharpen the saw. They might reply, " I didn't have time to sharpen the saw, I'm busy sawing!"
Habit 7 is taking the time to sharpen the saw. By renewing the four dimensions of your nature - physical, spiritual, mental and social/emotional, you can work more quickly and effortlessly. To do this, we must be proactive. This is a Quadrant II (important, not urgent) activity that must be acted on. It's at the center of our Circle of Influence, so we must do it for ourselves.

You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage - pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically - to say "no" to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger "YES" burning inside

Besides being named the state's 2014 Special Olympics Athlete of the Year, Scott Tobin is also planning on rappelling from the roof of the 20-story Bank of America Financial Center in Spokane to raise money for Special Olympics.
Cheney's Scott Tobin has been the recipient of numerous honors over the years, but the latest might be the most special.

Tobin was one of four regional nominees from around the state, and was chosen through a partnership between Special Olympics and Coca-Cola.

AMD Radeon HD 7970 review -
Hey hey hey now... a year and seven days after the release of the Radeon HD 6900 series, AMD is already moving it's high-end platform towards a new architecture.
Face it, value for money wise the 6900 really isn't a bad deal, but performance wise the architecture just had a hard time dealing with NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 570 and GTX 580. NVIDIA is like a bear in hibernation with bit of a dull lineup for the Christmas 2011 season. AMD on the other hand is moving forward real fast. They are transitioning towards the all new 28nm fabrication node which allows them to place more transistors into a die package at lower voltages.
Now we don't know how their yields are at the moment, but they are good enough to launch the first products, that's for sure. The good news is that AMD launched 28nm and starts with their high-end products, whereas, NVIDIA next year will (likely) do that vice versa. This will give AMD a competitive edge.
So this product review really is a bit of a treat, we as technical press, are allow to show you the Radeon HD 7970 (and only the R7970). That makes this primarily a paper launch BUT we expect decent volume availability in within a week or two already, so really it's not that bad. There actually MIGHT be little stock available today.
Injected in the 499EUR / 549 USD price tag bracket the product will have to compete directly with the equally expensive GeForce GTX 580, it will actually be a decent notch better then that IMHO. The results that you'll witness today will not dishearten. Where it matters (the latest and newer games) the Radeon HD 7970 will be a good 20%, 30% sometimes even 40% faster then the competition, and in the world of enthusiast graphics performance that's what we call, a product with a little extra booty... well actually I call it that, but my mind is twisted (hey I admit it).
So welcome to our Radeon HD 7970 review, a product with very nice game performance, a great feature set and a frame buffer that will pop your eyes out as yeah the 3GB was correct, GDDR5 though.
With the GPU developed under codename "Tahiti" let's have a look at this Southern Island family member. Next page where we'll startup the technology overview first.
AMD today releases their Radeon Pro Duo. The product is a dual FIJI GPU based product. Unfortunately there will not be any reviews on this product, and that is going to upset many of you. Especially...

AMD Radeon R9 NANO review
Small, tiny and cute are the keywords for the AMD Radeon R9 Nano that we review today. The product has an incredible small form factor yet is powered with a Fiji XT chip that bring some significant gaming performance to this graphics card.
AMD Radeon R9 NANO preview
At the launch of the Radeon R9 Fury and Fury X AMD also announced something that caught the interest of many, a small form factor yet high-end graphics card aimed at powerful small game and HTPCs, yes...
