College Hockey:Potsdam Buries Geneseo
GENESEO, N.Y. — Potsdam came into their game at Geneseo hoping to hang onto a playoff
spot. They left with renewed hopes of hosting a playoff game. After a
slow start, the Bears scored four straight goals to defeat Geneseo, 4-1.
Combined with losses by Cortland and Buffalo State, Potsdam is now tied
with both those teams for fourth place.
"Obviously, it's a huge win for the program," Potsdam coach Aaron Saul
said. "Our goal was to make the playoffs this year. We're not there
yet, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. Character win
for our guys."
It didn't start out that way as Geneseo also desperately needed a win to
stay in the playoff hunt. The Ice Knights came out and quickly got on
the scoreboard at 1:50 thanks to an early penalty by Potsdam.
Geneseo controlled the puck with crisp passing and it paid off when
Trent Cassan from behind the net found Mathieu Cyr in front at the
opposite post. Cyr had no trouble one-timing it past Rick Miller who
could not move over in time.
Another early penalty by Potsdam gave Geneseo another opportunity, but
this time the Bears killed it off. However, Geneseo consistently kept
the puck in the Potsdam zone, eventually outshooting the Bears in the
first period, 11-3.
"I think it's hard to travel," Saul said. "We're right in that time
period where it's four hours, whether we should go the night before or
the day of. You try to get here as early as possible for the guys to
get their legs warmed up, but it's still a four hour bus ride and
obviously it took us a period to wake up from that."
One of those three shots turned the game around at 13:27. Potsdam
started what looked to be an innocent rush, but Mitch West's shot fooled
Derek Jokic. It was West's second collegiate goal, but his second in a
row, the last coming a few weeks ago against Manhattanville before he
was knocked out and missed the games in between.
"Looks like he's got the scoring bug," Saul joked. "He doesn't remember
the first one, so I'm glad he remembers this one. Obviously, he brings
so much more to the team than scoring, but he's playing great, he's good
down low, and he's really working at it, and it's good to see a guy like
that get a goal. Hopefully, he can make it three in a row tomorrow night."
In fact, Potsdam returned a number of players to the lineup coming off
injuries, and that turned out to be the difference.
"We finally got some guys back in the lineup," Saul said. "Three out of
the four goals tonight were from guys who haven't been in the lineup the
past two to three weeks. We're excited about that and happy they are
back in the lineup."
Two of the other goals were scored by Luke Beck, the first being the
lone second period tally as Potsdam came out strong to reverse the game.
"We had a good talk after the first period," Saul said. "We knew we
were lucky to come in tied 1-1. They had all the momentum, and we get
one goal and that changes everything. Our guys decided that they were
going to finish their checks and play a little harder, and I thought we
dominated the second period."
Beck scored at 5:55 on a slow moving three-on-one breakout. Connor
Treacy brought the puck into the zone down the left side. His shot was
saved by Jokic, but the rebound came out the other side knee high. Beck
was there to bat it in.
The Bears just missed scoring six minutes later in a wild scramble in
the crease.
Geneseo beefed up their game in the third period and had a two-man
advantage for a full minute midway through the period. However, Miller
stopped everything thrown his way. Though he did get some help from a
goaltender's best friend — a Geneseo shot from the side smacked the
inside of the opposite post and somehow did not go in.
"I thought he played a great first period because we came out kind of
slow and sluggish and Rick really held us in there and did a great job,
and obviously on the five-on-three he was great and made some
unbelievable saves," Saul said.
Soon after the penalties were over, Potsdam scored the back breaker on a
two-on-none breakaway. Greg Lee kept the puck, went to his backhand,
and made Jokic make the first move before putting it past him.
Beck got his second of the night on another odd-man rush, this time a
three-on-one. Treacy passed it off to Beck who didn't waste the
"Luke is a really tough kid," Saul said. "Played with a lot of pain.
It was pretty evident he couldn't go, so we held him. But he targeted
this weekend to be back, and he's back in a big way."
Miller ended the game with 34 saves.
Potsdam (5-6-3, 8-11-4) goes to Brockport Saturday night to face a team
that just got eliminated from playoff contention in a 4-2 loss to
"You never know," Saul said in what he expects from Brockport. "It's
always a tough situation when you're an athlete and your season is over
going in and still having to play some games. We expect still a hard
fought battle. These guys played together for four years and I'm sure
they want to go out on a winning note. We'll be ready for them."
Geneseo (5-9-0, 6-16-0) must win their last two games for any hope of
making the playoffs, and then they need some help from at least one of
those teams tied for fourth. It won't be easy for the Ice Knights as
they host Plattsburgh next.

$8900 means LOTS of straightness in that sucker yes sir.
Schröder: Completely Unbiased
A pivoted straight-line-tracking tonearm? The description is far less oxymoronic than it seems, given the arrival of the Schröder LT tonearm ($8900). This fascinating and apparently very well-executed design works by augmenting the main arm pivot with an extra pivot at the base, the latter said to offer exceptionally low resistance to the arm and cartridge as they follow the inward spiral of the groove. The geometric relationship between the two pivots is such that the headshelland the cartridge and stylusmaintain perfect tangency to the groove from beginning to end. Thus the headshell requires no offset angle, which also means that no anti-skating force is required. Very cool.

Genre: Drama, Romance
Rating: NR
Duration: 2hrs 07min
Ohba Minako (Yuko Tanaka), a 50 year-old Japanese woman, drinks beer with her elderly aunt, enough to cause her to sprawl slightly in her aunt's living room towards the end of the evening. Her aunt raises the subject of Minako's early romance with "the painter's son", but Minako claims not to remember. This is a touching evasion, tantamount to a confession. Who can forget her early romances? Minako lives alone. She delivers milk on foot in the early mornings to the households that are built cheek to jowl on the steep hillsides of her town. During the day, she works as a cashier at a local supermarket. In her own time, she reads. Her aunt, a writer, is one of her customers on her early morning rounds. Her aunt also takes care of her husband who was a professor of English but now suffers from severe dementia. She has been approached to write about her experiences with her ailing husband, but she remarks that she does not want to write about her own experiences, "but a story about a woman of 50 in love". When she was still a schoolgirl, Minako resolved never to leave her city; she wanted to know its people as she and they got older; she believed that such a thing would be wonderful. She lives out this ideal, not just by remaining in her home town, but by delivering bottles of milk every morning.

In today's "supersize it" "have it your way" lunch world, there is something refreshing about stepping inside the doors of an old fashioned sandwich shop. With sub sandwich chains popping up on every corner, the rare mom and pop delicatessen are a nice change of pace when you can find one. HIldebrandt's proves to be just that kind of a "find" and is more like a trip to grandmas for lunch than anything else around.
In business since the late 1800's, Hildebrandt's has served the likes of many Augusta businessman. Step inside the unassuming building located at 226 6th Street in downtown Augusta and a metal bell clanks the door as it closes behind you. Inside you'll find an array of convenience items such as snacks and drinks, a small section of canned goods, cleaning supplies, tobacco products, spices, candy and a vast array of other perishables. Walk to the back of the store, past rows filled with grape soda and moon pies and you'll find Miss Luanne Hildebrandt greeting customers with a quick hello and a what will it be?
Take a seat on one of the wooden benches at the community marble table and wait to indulge in a one of a kind Augusta sandwich. Nostalgia fills the room as customers wait on lunch. Black and white photos of the matriarch and patriarch of the Hildebrandt family line the walls. Your pocket book will be smiling when you leave Hildebrandts. The most expensive sandwich on the menu is priced at a mere $3.50 ( the price some pay for a tall coffee) and in this economic recession, that's a welcome thing! The menu sits on an old butcher's chopping block for all to read.
On a recent visit, the pork chop sandwich (two pork chops) on white bread was perfectly seasoned and not a bit overcooked. Try the reuben sandwich piled high with lots of corn beef and topped with cheese, saurkraut, spicy mustard and thousand island dressing if you prefer. Other popular menu items are the Hildebrandt's special, which includes four meats and two cheeses for $3.50. Hamburgers, hotdogs, and sandwiches are staples here. For sides, try the German Potato Salad or choose from an array of chips. On a recent visit, lunch for four people with drinks, three bags of chips, four sandwiches, two moon pies, a sucker and a pack of candy nerds ran less than $18.00. Lunch at Hildebrandt's is one of those simple pleasures well worth trying in Augusta.

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
This program is administered pursuant to KRS 44.030 to satisfy the outstanding tax liability of a taxpayer who is employed or contracts with an agency of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Administration of this program operates very much like that of a wage levy with the exception that no exemptions may be claimed. The entire amount of payment to the taxpayer is diverted to pay the outstanding tax liability.
Taxpayers who qualify for State Claim action include the following:
Inquire about a State Claim
Mine License Denial or Revocation
Pursuant to KRS 131.181 , the Department of Revenue has the authority to request the revocation of a taxpayer's mine license, after determining that the taxpayer holding that mine license owes a tax liability arising directly or indirectly from the mining, transportation, and/or processing of coal.
When a taxpayer's mine license is revoked, a representative from the Office of Mine Safety and Licensing personally visits the mine site(s) and "tags" the mine as closed until such time as the taxpayer makes satisfactory payment arrangements with the Department of Revenue.
The Department of Revenue may also request that the Office of Mine Safety and Licensing deny a taxpayer's initial request for a mine license, or its renewal, when the taxpayer owes a tax liability. When a mine license application is denied, the taxpayer is not issued the license and is unable to operate until satisfactory payment arrangements are made with the Department of Revenue.
Inquire about Mine License Revocation
ABC "Liquor" License Denial or Revocation
This program is administered by the Department of Revenue pursuant to KRS 243.500(5) and is employed to resolve outstanding tax liabilities owed by a taxpayer holding license(s) to sell alcoholic beverages.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Hinckley Township's Jessica Porvasnik failed to qualify Wednesday for the final round of the 35th Junior PGA Championship held at Sycamore Hills Golf Club.
The incoming Highland sophomore — and reigning Gazette MVP in the sport — fired a 9-over-par 81 to finish out of a qualifying spot. She carded an 85 in Monday's opening round and was 11 strokes off of advancing.
After Tuesday's second round was washed out due to nearly two inches of rain, the tournament became a 36-hole event before the field was cut Wednesday to the top 35 golfers.
Porvasnik's best moment of the day came on the 475-yard, par-5 15th hole, where she recorded her first and only birdie of the tournament.
Kyle Roig of Puerto Rico is the tournament leader by two strokes heading into today's final round.
The first female to qualify this decade for the national tournament, Porvasnik qualified after winning the PGA Junior Series event at Penn State University. The 15-year-old finished that event with a 219 (73-74-72) in the three-day tournament.

President Says He Is a Clint Eastwood Fan
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama said he is a big Clint Eastwood fan, despite the 82-year-old actor's unusual performance at the Republican National Convention last week.
"He is a great actor and an even better director," Mr. Obama said in an interview with USA Today. "I think the last few movies that he's made have been terrific."
Mr. Obama said he wasn't offended by the eccentric dialogue that the actor pretended to hold with the president at the Republican convention.
"One thing about being president or running for president—if you're easily offended, you should probably choose another profession," he said in the Saturday interview.
Still, Mr. Obama signaled the acting stunt probably won't be imitated at the Democratic National Convention this week: "I think we'll be playing this pretty straight."
Mr. Eastwood riled some Republicans earlier this year when he appeared in a TV commercial for Chrysler during the Super Bowl that said it was "halftime in America." Some Republicans saw it as a coded message of support for the president.
Mr. Eastwood said at the time that he was "not politically affiliated with Mr. Obama." Months later, the actor endorsed Mitt Romney and earned himself an invitation to speak to the Republican convention on the night Mr. Romney would be officially nominated as candidate.
At the event, Mr. Eastwood's rambling 12-minute performance—in which he interviewed an empty chair on stage—became one of the most discussed portions of the convention.
Until now, the Obama campaign had largely avoided responding directly to the popular actor, jokingly referring reporters' questions to the famous surrealist, Salvador Dalí.
For its part, the Romney campaign said that "judging an American icon like Clint Eastwood through a typical political lens doesn't work."
On Sunday, however, White House senior adviser David Plouffe said he didn't think the Romney campaign still wanted to field questions about the actor's monologue several days after the end of their convention. "I think they had probably other business they wanted to transact," he said. "But we're all Clint Eastwood fans here in the Obama campaign."

Tips on using the force offensively against high-level enemies?
Hey all...just a SP question for you. When fighting higher level enemies, I'm fairly proficient at sabering them to death. But when it comes to using that Jedi essential, I'm still a Padawan. Reborn masters block all my pushes and pulls, yet somehow send me sailing across the room, and if I get up close and personal to drain or choke them, it's the same result. Is this a result of a defensive AI code? Or something in-game that I can actually fight against, or mimic myself? It's really frustrating to fight Tavion and not be able to grip her, yet she drags you around by the neck and STILL blocks your force push.
Yea, I seem to remember the Single Player boss fights being pretty slanted against you. They necessitate a lot of running away and recharging force to have absorb on.
Heh...well at least I got a voice in the affirmative. Is there any way to give that insta-push power to ME? xD Without having to use my precious force on absorb? (I don't want to -really- cheat, i.e. god and give force, unless I absolutely have to.)
Well the general rule (though my SP tactics are a bit fuzzy since I focus on MP) is that you're more susceptible to Push or Pull while you're moving or attacking. If you hold your ground (and you have some mana and the appropriate level of Push/Pull equivalent to counter theirs automatically) you shouldn't be as affected.
If you're running and hacking at them (or worse, leaping), they can toss you around a lot easier (and ditto for them).
Of course there are simply some things that AI can do that you can never do (not even with cheats), like a kind of instant push attack.
There's really no infinite force cheat that I know of (other than external trainer files out there). Instead there are things that give you a temporary or permanent boost in force REGENERATION (so it comes back faster, not so you have a limitless supply). The higher level Jedi you are, the faster your force will be able to regenerate, though.
With patience, practice and a little luck, you can overcome any of these chumps in battle. I normally play with realistic saber damage on, which can make it easier, or harder, depending upon who strikes first!

Happy July!
Tuesday, July 01, 2014
The past week has not been the most amazing for calories or exercise or sugar for that matter. I have been getting this nasty habit of getting a different box of ice cream bars when I go to the grocery store. Of course there are like 20 servings in each box. Must stop that habit, the sugar just makes you want more sugar. The humidity the last few days is so nasty. Which makes it hard to walk. I went for a walk with a friend and the dogs last night. At 6 pm and you just come home drenched like you had run 4 miles instead of walking 1.5 miles lol At least we are getting constant rain lately. In the past 24 hours we have gotten at like 1.5-2 inches of rain. Rain barrel is staying nice and topped off.
Sunday morning, Scott and I were eating breakfast together and Joel our cat jumps on the bistro table at the window outside with a half grown rabbit hanging from his mouth. Trying urgently to bring the rabbit in lol Scott closed the blinds as fast he could. When we opened them again he was on the table and rabbit was missing. I hope it was alive still and got away but I highly doubt it. Never seen him with a rabbit. One of our cats growing up he would kill rabbits almost the same size as him and leave them next my moms car lol Funny tho that cat knew that my pet rabbits were off limits. He would never even attempt to look at them as prey. Must have smelled completely different, who knows.
We didn't go shopping crazy yet for the new dude. I got some paint to try for his room that turned out to be way more yellow than green with the lighting in there. So I gotta go back and try again. My friend Mindy sent us our first baby accessory a Snugapuppy. So we started our collection. I probably will have a baby shower for gifts. I hate being the center of attention but if ppl wanna help me get what I need, sure why not. Right now I roam thru the baby sections completely clueless to what anything is. So friends and family are welcome to help. We did our facebook gender reveal pics.
Joel had to get in on it. He was in our wedding pics as well.
Have a good week everyone and a nice start to the month!

Lots of baby powder!!! And I love the photos - you two are so cute!
We see these great popsicles here, made with diced fruit and fruit juice - there were some spark recipes with things like that - might be worth trying instead of ice cream?

Th humidity is horrible as is the heat. I don't enjoy being outside at all. We went from winter to summer. Ugh! The rain helps but not enough. I have been craving ice cream too.
Joel is like my Maynard was. We fed Maynard well but he still liked to hunt and eventually he killed everything that walked through the yard. Frogs, birds, squirrels, snakes, and once he did the same thing to me with a bunny. I didn't notice he had a live bunny and he brought it into the house and killed it. He ate the heart out and left the rest in the hall. I almost puked. From then on I watched what he was doing before I let him in. He always wanted to bring his victims into the house and would show them to me. I have no idea why but we always thought he was saying, "See, I can bring in food too." Gross.
Loved the pictures!! Joel is quite the ham. LOL.

Now that my kids are out of diapers, it's amazing to me how temporary "baby stuff" is. People who want brand-new, matching baby-everything are wasting their money, in my opinion. There are guides that are helpful as to what you need. But do register, so you won't find yourself overwhelmed with having to buy everything yourself. And please let me know when the shower will be so I will have time to prepare something special for him. :D :D :D

Great photos! We used the Consumer Reports Best Baby Products book for a good explanation of the features of a certain product (like car seats, or cribs, etc) and the recommended ones. I don't know if there's a new edition though.
I know what you mean about the heat. I run every other day and walk the other day. The dog only goes on the first 7-10 minutes of the walk and I drop him off, he goes so hot and panting.

The ANC is a national liberation movement. It was formed in 1912 to unite the African people and spearhead the struggle for fundamental political, social and economic change.
The ANC's key objective is the creation of a united, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic society.
This means the liberation of Africans in particular and black people in general from political and economic bondage. It means uplifting the quality of life of all South Africans, especially the poor.
The ANC is in an alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU). Each Alliance partner is an independent organisation with its own constitution, membership and programmes. The Alliance is founded on a common commitment to the objectives of the National Democratic Revolution, and the need to unite the largest possible cross-section of South Africans behind these objectives.

The ANC National Disciplinary Committee would like to confirm that the African National Congress, through its National Officials, served charges this morning on two of its members, namely Comrade Julius Malema, who is also the President of the ANC Youth League and as well as Comrade Floyd Shivambu. Both Comrade Julius Malema and Comrade Floyd Shivambu have been charged with various violations of the ANC Constitution, including bringing the ANC into disrepute through his utterances and statements on Botswana and sowing divisions in the ranks of the African National Congress.
The disciplinary matter concerning Comrade Malema and Comrade Shivambu is now in the hands of the ANC National Disciplinary Committee, will henceforth deal with the date, venue and time of the hearings.
In accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the ANC as described in the Appendix to the Constitution, Comrade Malema and Comrade Shivambu will have an opportunity to defend themselves against these charges in a properly convened hearing. They will be entitled to be represented by a member of the ANC whose membership is in good standing.

Are you looking for a stock?
Try one of these
The only U.S-listed ETF tracking the Egyptian stock market, the Market Vectors Egypt Index ETF (EGPT-N) is still trading despite that market being closed.
I talked to Ed Lopez, marketing director with Van Eck, the ETF sponsor. He says the ETF is still trading because Van Eck can figure out the net asset value even with the underlying market being closed.
Here's how.
Twenty-three percent of the stock portfolio is inter-listed on other exchanges, so those stocks can be accurately priced. For the remaining 77 percent that trade only in Egypt, the stocks are priced based on an estimation of what they would be trading at if the market was open. Similar to how the futures market works to price stock market indexes, when markets are closed.
Not an exact science. But "many people have opinions" (on the value of a stock) is how Lopez put it.
But the Egypt ETF isn't trading exactly as it normally would. Yesterday Van Eck suspended the creation of new units. Lopez says under normal circumstances new units are issued when institutional investors want to buy a block of stock (e.g. 50,000 units). Investors can still buy and sell in the secondary market but the float can't increase.
Lopez says when the stock market reopens in Egypt the fund will once again be able to issue new units.

ORONO, Maine – Alasdair Fraser (Falkirk, Scotland) had 22 points and 18 rebounds to lead the University of Maine men's basketball team to a 73-40 win over Acadia University in an exhibition game on Saturday afternoon in the Memorial Gymnasium.
Fraser scored eight points in a 19-5 Maine run to open the game that was capped by a Zarko Valjarevic (Belgrade, Serbia) midway through the opening half.
Acadia closed the gap to 22-13 with just over seven minutes to play, but Fraser added another eight points to help the Black Bears take a 36-21 lead at intermission.
Fraser had 18 points and 14 rebounds in the first half while Jon Mesghna (Frankfurt, Germany) added five points, three rebounds and three steals. Maine held Acadia to 24.2 percent shooting in the first half.
Justin Edwards (Whitby, Ontario) and Xavier Pollard (Bronx, N.Y.) each scored six points to open the second half as Maine raced out to a 48-21 lead.
Maine never looked back and expanded the lead to as much as 36 at 70-34 late in the second half before cruising to the win.
Edwards finished with 19 points and three assists while freshman Shaun Lawton (Harlem, N.Y.) had a game-high five assists to go with five rebounds and six points.
Maine had a commanding 59-42 advantage in rebounding while shooting 41 percent and holding Acadia to 26.2 percent.
Anthony Ashe led Acadia with 17 points and nine rebounds.
Maine opens its regular season on Nov. 10 at Dartmouth.

Study Abroad
Sociologists are increasingly involved in crafting the policies and programs that shape the world we live in today. Scholars in the field take seriously the idea that understanding one's place and prospects in the world is informed by exposure to other societies. Hence, study abroad is an essential way to enrich one's studies in sociology. Studying abroad provides an opportunity to explore how culture, social organization, social structures, and social interaction take place in vast and varied ways. Moreover, through study abroad you can learn about how social problems are constituted differently in other societies, and how different kinds of solutions and possibilities are posed.
Getting Started
Plan early. Talk to your general LSA advisor, concentration advisor(s) and minor advisor(s) about your interest in going abroad.
Carefully research possible programs. Decide if you will study abroad via a U-M program or through another institution's program.
Michigan Study Abroad Resources
Non-U-M Study Abroad Resources
Not sure about going abroad? Think about studying outside of Ann Arbor, but still in the States.
Study abroad is not just for juniors! Rather, the timing (and program choice) varies by what you hope to achieve by studying abroad. Individual courses that offer a study abroad component may be taken any time. Summer, semester, and year-long programs offer courses that have the potential to be used toward sociology requirements. In planning for study abroad, you should discuss with the sociology concentration advisor which requirements should be taken here in Ann Arbor (and when) and which requirements might be satisfied with a course or courses taken abroad.
Counting courses taken abroad toward sociology concentration requirements
You should plan to meet with the sociology concentration advisor to discuss concentration coursework you are planning to take abroad; bring with you a copy of the course description(s) and syllabus (if available). You may be asked to meet with the concentration advisor upon your return to provide further information about the course(s).
Registering for U-M classes while abroad
If you spend a semester abroad through a non-U-M program, you will need to contact the U-M Office of the Registrar to get an appointment for the next registration period. Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Kynesgrove turned out to be nothing more than a small mining village just South of Windhelm. It was literally nothing more than a mine, inn, and abandoned lumber mill. Revak scratched absentmindedly at his armor where he knew the scar from the assassin hid underneath. Under Revak's insistence, he and Delphine had traveled a mere three days after Revak had awoken after the Dark Brotherhood blade attempted to gut him like a fish. He had kept the wicked ebony blade and carried it with him, a reminder that if he were to ever run in to another member of the Brotherhood that he would return it.
They traveled in full armor, and constantly on their guard. Regularly, Delphine would look over her shoulder, as if fearing to find another assassin trailing behind them. She was under the constant fear that the Thalmor were hunting her still. Revak tried to comfort her by reminding her that she was no longer alone; she reminded him that he was Dragonborn, and that if anyone knew his whereabouts, it'd be the Thalmor.
Despite being weighed down by armor and injury they traveled quickly, only stopping to water their horses and to sleep in short shifts. As they passed under the great mountain that lead to the Throat of the World Revak hung his head. He knew he was defying the Greybeards by not climbing the Seven Thousand steps now, but he had a mission, and stopping the dragons, any dragon, was more important that meeting with old men on mountains.
As they traveled Delphine told him of her life; her battles in the First War, the multiple attempts on her life (she once killed an entire Thalmor assassination team.), and how she was trying to keep the traditions of the Blades alive. Each night and morning she prayed to the gods, to Talos specifically. In fact, Revak noticed that she would grasp her amulet of Talos as if to remind herself that it was still there. He couldn't help but smile as he stole glances of her doing this, but she quickly would hide the amulet under her armor, safe from the world and from his eyes.
His nights were becoming sleepless. Memories of his life long lived were bleeding into his dreams. His dreams were of battles long since forgotten. One night he had dreamed of the battle of Sancre Tor; the bloody battle between the Bretons, Nords, and Imperials that had given him his Empire. He saw the faces of the men and women that he'd killed as he lead his army beneath the keep. His days were spent in silence, meditating on the images of the night before.
One day they saw an lonely shrine on the road. The stone relic was crushed, and the name of the god it was for had been removed by a rough hand, but that only made it more obvious that it was a shrine to Talos. "Dragonborn, do you worship the gods?" Delphine had asked him.
"Of course," Revak had curtly responded as they rode.
"I'm sorry," she said, "I just never notice you praying or even mentioning them."
Revak shook his head, "I do, but I guess I've been... out of practice of late."
"Do you worship Talos?" she asked, her hand on her chest where Revak knew her amulet lay beneath.
"Yes," he said slowly, "in a way." That was the last he would speak of it.
It was late in the afternoon when they finally saw the Braidwood Inn. It was late fall in Skyrim. The sun hid behind a thick layer of clouds, and still sweat soaked their horses, threatening to freeze. Revak's mood rose as he saw the inn, for it meant food, shelter from the cold, and a chance for sleep. He dreamed of a fire, a cup of ale, and a warm meal.
Sadly that would remain a dream.
A farmer was running down the road, catching the attention of a Stormcloak patrol. Delphine and Revak followed the patrol as they intercepted the farmer. The Stormcloak stopped the poor man, "Trouble?" he asked.
The farmer stopped, catching his breath, "A dragon!" he gasped, "a huge black dragon!"
Revak spurred his mare forward, "Where?"
"Up the hill, by the old mound!"
Revak put on his horned helm, "Delphine, take the patrolman and get reinforcements," he drew his Akaviri Katana, "I'll go to the burial mound."
He was about to turn to run of up the path when Delphine called to him, "Dragonborn!" Revak stopped, and looked at the Blade. Her eyes spoke of fear and concern, "Fight well." Revak smiled and turned, his horse going full speed up the sparse dirt road.
Delphine watched sadly as the Dragonborn disappeared from sight. Her horse sense fear and grew restless, prancing about where it stood, "You," she said to the farmer, "find somewhere safe," the farmer nodded and ran off toward the fields. "Stormcloak," she said to the soldier, who had an almost comical look of confusion on his face, "is there a post nearby?" He nodded and lead her down the road.
There was a small tower near the end of the town. It was a crumbling relic of the old Empire, but the Stormcloaks were like roaches. They would take cover and use whatever supplies they could muster, and if using abandoned Imperial outposts was necessary they would certainly make due.
"Captain!" the Stormcloak patrol called as he neared the outpost. An old soldier in a bearskin cloak stepped from the tower, followed by two more Stormcloak soldiers.
"What is the meaning of this? Who is this" the old bear asked.
The patrol stopped running, breathing heavily, Delphine spoke for him, "Reinforcements are needed in the village," she said, sitting tall in the saddle.
"Who are you?"
Delphine frowned, "It doesn't matter who I am," she said, "what matters is that there's a dragon at the burial mound and a man has gone to fight it alone."
The bear cursed, "Then he is a fool."
Delphine drew her sword, rage fueling her words, "He is the Dragonborn!" she yelled, her sword eager at her side, "show some respect!"
The bear stared at her for a moment, "Dinalla," he said to the young Stormcloak woman beside him, "get my horse."
As Revak crested the hill he saw the great black dragon circling the ancient mound. The darkness that he felt in his heart at the sight of it confirmed that it was Alduin.
A black cloud was spinning from the mound as Alduin hovered and chanted in the Dragon Language. The worm either did not notice him, or it paid him no attention. Revak's horse began to fret, refusing to continue toward the black beast. He dismounted, taking his steel shield once his metal boots hit the fresh powder of snow below. His horse fled, screaming as it sped back down the path.
Sword and shield in hand, Revak marched toward the mound, "DRAGON!" he shouted at the beast. The dragon made sound that was a mix between a growl and a roar as it hovered above the mound; Revak could almost imagine the beast laughing at him.
The dragon stared at Revak, his burning red eyes flared, "Dovahkiin," the World Eater said, his voice made the world grow cold and dark and made a chill run down Revak's spine, "Daar Lein los dii." He breathed a white mist into the black cloud.
The ground shook. Revak struggled to stay on his feet. From the dragon mound a skeletal dragon burst forth, spraying rocks and dirt in its wake. A bright light came from the dragon, blinding Revak. He cursed and put up his shield, not knowing what would happen while he was indisposed. The light dispersed. Revak lowered his shield.
The skeletal dragon had become flesh. Its scales were white as the new snow, and they sparkled like ice in the morning light; beautiful and dangerous. The beast crawled from its former resting place and Shouted to the heavens, "FRO KRAH DIIN!" a blast of ice blue frost streamed into the air. Frost breath, Revak remembered. The white dragon dipped its head in respect to Alduin, "Alduin, thuri! Boaan tiid vokriiha suleyksejun kruziik."
Alduin roared in response, "Sahloknir, krii daar jor!" Revak didn't need to speak the Dragon Language to know that the Worm had commanded the white dragon to kill him. The white dragon, Sahloknir Revak guessed, turned toward him as Alduin flew away, roaring as he fled. Revak held up his shield and waited for the dragon to make its first move. Revak's heart was beating wildly in his chest. He had no tower to jump from this time, and no plan.
The dragon stepped toward him, baring its teeth as it spoke, "I am Sahloknir! Hear my Voice and despair!" He Shouted a stream of ice at Revak, who barely managed dodged in time.
"You will die, dragon!" Revak called as he returned to his feet, his shield still held high.
Sahloknir hummed, "My Lord Alduin requires your death. I am happy to oblige him, " he said as he breathed another spray of frost, just missing Revak, "Hiding will not save you mortal!"
Revak charged, dodging Sahloknir's elemental breath by inches, but managing to bash the white dragon in the snout, "You mortals have grown arrogant while I slept!"
"Perhaps you are the one who's grown arrogant?" Revak said as he rushed back, dodging the dragon's claws. He felt the power of the dragon's blood flowing within him, "FUS RO DAH!" he Shouted. The dragon was buffeted backwards, using his wings to keep his balance.
"Your Voice is strong Dovahkiin," he released a blast of flame, forcing Revak back even further. Fire and ice? Revak cursed as he charged again, shield above his head he dived as another stream of flame flew over him, heating his shield and scalding his shield arm. He managed to slash at the beast's throat. He broke through it's scales and the dragon roared in pain. Revak was nearly crushed as the dragon took to the skies, blood trailing behind it like a comet's tail.
Revak screamed in defiance as the dragon dived at him, roaring as it fell from the heavens. The dragon crashed, parting the ground like water as it fell. Revak was knocked away. He felt his breath knocked out of him as he hit the ground. He lay there, gasping for breath. He slowly stood, the world spinning around him. The dragon stood, but was obviously hurt. It moved slowly and did not bother to speak to Revak again.
Revak half limped half marched to the dragon, who bared its teeth and growled, "I am Talos Stormcrown," the dragon stared, at a loss for words, "in the name of the
Divines I WILL DESTROY YOU!" he charged, sword high and shield low, ready to die, but also ready to kill the beast before him. His flesh began to glow gold, the blessing of a god made flesh. For the first time since he arrived in Skyrim... Revak was Talos once more.
Sahloknir tried to crunch the Dragonborn in his jaws, but the swift Dragonborn sidestepped him. The dragon was blinded by Talos' aura. The white worm was left wide open, and Talos took the opportunity. He stabbed the beast in the eye, once, twice, three times. Sahloknir roared in pain and despair as the blade sunk deep into his eye, and deep into it's brain. The dragon collapsed, shuddered once, then moved no more.
Revak stood, frozen in time as the soul of the dragon joined his. A bright gold and white stream enveloped him, giving him the power and knowledge of the felled dragon. When it was over Revak stood, burned, damaged, and tired. He stepped away from the dead dragon, taking in the sight.
He saw Delphine and the Stormcloaks coming up from behind him. He smiled when she stopped, frozen in awe. "Do you believe I am Dragonborn now?" he laughed.

Send Omar Khadr to Rehab? Will We Say No, No, No...?
Omar Khadr has now completed his one-year sentence at Guantanamo, and is liable to be returned to Canada at any time. It's completely understandable that the PM and most Canadians don't want the guy back in Canada. His life is already a mess, and it's doubtful if it can be salvaged. But he's going to be our problem. So what should be done about him, if anything?

According to the text on the label of the 10yo, 'triple-distillation gives ... a very light and delicate character with a sweetness and fruity flavour enjoyed even by those unaccustomed to fine malts'. That's one way of putting it, I guess.'A single malt for blend drinkers' would be another...
If you're drinking single malt whisky because you like a drink with more
character and personality than the average blend you have no business with the 'standard' Auchentoshan 10yo, if you ask me. And if you don't care about individuality and style you might as well save yourself some money and stick to blends...

Not cheap but it seems to be very related to the much more expensive Auchentoshan 32yr (Also Single Cask, Oloroso sherry and distilled on the same day 14/3-1973 but for some reason higher ABV)

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.- For the second week in a row, UCLA running back Johnathan Franklin has been named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week in football, the Conference announced on Monday.
Franklin, a senior from Los Angeles, Calif., rushed for a career-best 217 yards on on 26 carries (8.3 average) and hauled in three passes for 59 yards (19.6 average) and a touchdown in a 36-30 win over No. 16 Nebraska to earn his second-straight Pac-12 Player of the Week honor. He became the seventh Bruin to eclipse the 3,000-yard rushing mark and moved into seventh place on UCLA's all-time rushing list. Through two games this season, Franklin is the NCAA's leading rusher, averaging 215.5 yards per game.
Franklin earned the same honor last week after rushing for 214 yards on 15 carries (14.3 average) in a 49-24 win at Rice. He also tied his career high with three touchdowns in the Bruin victory.
Franklin becomes UCLA's first back-to-back Pac-12 weekly award winner since 1997, when kicker Chris Sailer was named Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the Week (Oct. 4 and Oct. 11). UCLA has not had the same player earn Pac-12 Offensive Player of Week honors in multiple weeks. UCLA last had back-to-back Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week selections in 1995 - Johnathan Ogden on Sept. 2 and Karim Abdul-Jabbar on Sept. 9. Last player to earn Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors in consecutive weeks was Stanford's Toby Gerhart - 2009 (Nov. 7, 14).

When Lil Wayne performs at the VMAs this Sunday night, don't be surprised if he's sporting a badass new battle scar. According to TMZ, the extraterrestrial rapper was RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL after experiencing a wipeout on his skateboard at a park in St. Louis. Weezy received nine stitches over his left eye for his efforts, while "several members of his entourage" offered emotional support. This did not affect his feelings about his I Am Still Music gig in Maryland Heights, Missouri earlier that day, however, as Tunechi tweeted "The Lou was good but I busted my fuggin head at the sk8park! 9stitches! Gnarly gash over my left eye! Luv the people."
Really, we're glad to see that even at age 28, Weezy still has enough skate rat left in him to lace up his Vans after a gig and head out on his board, and that he's willing to look at his wound as a badge of gnarliness. With even 20-year-old Tyler, the Creator claiming he's too busy to skate these days, it's refreshing to see a rapper take the time to get in some quality time on the half-pipe. We're none of us young forever, you know.
For lots more pics, videos and up-to-the-second dish on Wayne, be sure to check out his Popdust Artist Page.

Sorry Buddy the Beagle. Chance is the new top dog.
Sentinel Sports Now's favorite dog Buddy is getting some stiff competition for lucky superstitious animals from a six-year-old Labrador Retriever Chance, who has become a lucky charm for the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning this season.
Believe in superstition or not, the Lightning have a 7-1 record when Chance, who belongs to Fox Sun Sports TV producer Rob Allaer, attends games. Unfortunately, Buddy has struggled in his inaugural season as a NFL sports oddsman. He finished the 2010 NFL season 10-9.
Interesting enough, a few of the French-Canadian players on the Lightning team informed Allaer that Chance's name means "luck" in French.
"I think it's coincidence to a point, but I'm very superstitious," said Allaer, who was a producer for WESH's Discovery Orlando in the late 90s. "When I played hockey always put my socks on a certain way."
"The realist in me thinks that there's no way a dog can have any impact on the hockey game, but hey, we have rabbit's feet."
Chance has become a popular fan favorite for Lightning fans. Allaer usually brings him to the morning skate on the day of home games where players rub him on the head for good luck. Then, he brings him to the production truck while broadcasting the games.
The Lightning play the Chicago Blackhawks tonight at home, however Versus will broadcast the game. Sun Sports's next home broadcast will be Friday, Mar 11.

GRANGER TWP.— A member who served five months on the Highland school board has resigned because he's moving out of state.
Hinckley Township resident John CizMadia was appointed to the board March 15 to replace longtime member Nancy Wingenbach, who also resigned because she moved out of the district.
CizMadia could not be reached Tuesday for comment.
Anyone who is appointed will have to run for the seat in November 2011 to fulfill the remaining two years of the four-year term.
The Highland board is accepting applications for the seat. Interested applicants may contact Sue Liszniansky by calling (330) 239-1901, ext. 1217, to request an application and information packet.
The board has 30 days to fill the seat. The deadline for applications is Sept. 10.
Board President Norm Christopher said Ciz-Madia was a good addition to the board, but members also are looking forward to a fresh perspective.
"What we're looking for is somebody with a broad perspective regarding education, advocating for children and families in the district," he said. "We're looking for somebody who obviously can tell the story of the district and who has understanding of some of the financial weight in the state of Ohio."
The district also recommends interested applicants visit the Ohio School Boards Association's website at www.osba-ohio.org for information on serving on a board of education.
Contact Maria Kacik Kula at (330) 721-4049 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Alum paves the way for Fisher grads at J&J
When Eric Lenard (MBA '97) arrived at Johnson & Johnson in 2003, he located just one other Fisher alumnus working for the New Jersey-based health-care products and services behemoth.
By this summer, Fisher graduates entering J&J's prestigious Financial Leadership Development Program will outnumber recruits from other schools.
"We made 13 offers to Fisher finance and accounting students and received 11 'accepts' from Buckeyes," said Lenard, director of New Ventures Finance for Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., maker of Acuvue, the world's leading contact lens brand. Since 2004, Johnson & Johnson has hired more than 20 Fisher graduates, including co-ops and interns.
The company's discovery of Fisher talent is a direct result of Lenard's advocacy for the college.
Lenard was so certain Fisher graduates would perform well at the company he put up his own money to prove it.
"J&J wanted me to prove that Ohio State had qualified candidates. I was kind of a mercenary recruiter for J&J in the beginning, recruiting at several different universities like Illinois and Florida, but I wanted to get back to Columbus," Lenard recalled about his early efforts in 2004. "(Company recruiters) told me they would let me go to Ohio State to identify recruits, but they would only pay for my plane ticket."
With corporate headquarters in New Brunswick, N.J. less than one block from an Amtrak station that serves Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City and Boston, J&J focused on schools along that corridor.
"J&J historically has been very Northeast centric in its recruiting of finance majors," said Lenard, an Alumni Board member. "The 30 core schools include Rutgers, Penn State, Villanova and Wharton and lesser known ones on the East Coast. Those schools have really been the source of hires for finance and accounting positions."
As the only apparent recent Fisher finance hire in 2003, Lenard set out to prove his own mettle and began ascending the ranks. He was promoted from manager to director after less than three years at the company. Prior to J&J, Lenard worked for six years at Procter & Gamble. At both companies, he noticed that some of his colleagues from the East Coast schools weren't as knowledgeable about corporate structures, particularly a consumer products company.
"Northeast schools' finance programs are so focused on Wall Street and investment banking," Lenard said. "There is not a lot of emphasis in developing strong corporate finance managers. I felt like I had a much broader background."
Lenard graduated summa cum laude in 1997, earning a bachelor's degree and MBA through the three-two program. He won Fisher's Robert S. Georges Pace Setter Award for top undergraduate senior, the President's Award, for graduating seniors whose grade-point average is among the top 20 and a Graduate School award for being in the top 15 percent of his MBA class and top student in the MBA Finance program.
To begin building his case for Fisher students at J&J, Lenard called on his mentor, David Harrison, the director of Minority Student Services, to help him identify diverse candidates with strong resumes. With the assistance of Harrison and Career Services, Ohio State students are now a major presence at the company's signature college recruiting event, "Day of Woo."
"I brought in 15 people from Ohio State this year. That made us the number one school for finance," Lenard said. "We will continue to bring in more people from Fisher. We are very impressed with the candidates we have been receiving from the college."

Within the past ten years, Lehigh Acres went through a huge construction boom, where brand new homes sprang up at incredibly affordable prices. Carpet cleaning companies in Lehigh Acres, Fl became very important in keeping these newly built homes clean.

"Construction grade carpet", which is commonly found in about ninety percent of newly built Lehigh homes, actually responds better to a Lehigh Acres carpet cleaning than pricier, more expensive carpet!

9/11: Ten years later
September 9, 2011 by The IRC
|Bushra Naji looks out of the window of her office building, in midtown. She was a teacher in her native Iraq, but fled with her family in 2006, first to Syria and then to New York. Finding the city overwhelming, they moved to Idaho, but they missed New York, so they returned. Photo: Christopher Anderson/Magnum
The terror attacks of September 11, 2001 shook America and sent shockwaves around the world.
This week, on the tenth anniversary of the attacks, The New Yorker magazine tells the stories of ordinary people who were affected by 9/11. One of them is a teacher from Iraq named Bushra Naji. Bushra and her family are among the nearly 5 million Iraqis who were forced from or fled their homes after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Bushra describes her life in Iraq — both under the regime of Saddam Hussein, and after — as a "nightmare." Her family left Iraq in 2006 after one of her sons was attacked by a militia and another son was threatened.
The Naji family fled to Syria, where like many other Iraqi refugees, they were unable to find work and had little income. In 2008, the family was accepted for resettlement as refugees in the United States.
After the family arrived in New York they found the city overwhelming and moved to Idaho. But after two years in Idaho they missed New York and decided to move back.
As Bushra put it, "I lived in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. New York is something else — New York is the capital of the world."
Bushra's husband, Tarik, was an engineer in Iraq and works in the same field in New York. Bushra is a teacher at a non-profit organization that assists people with disabilities. She also works part-time in donor relations at the International Rescue Committee's headquarters office in midtown Manhattan, where photographer Christopher Anderson shot this portrait of her.
Bushra's photograph appears in the September 12 edition of The New Yorker as part of Anderson's photo story, "Ten Years Later: A City of Memories." Bushra is also featured in a New Yorker video (below), in which she talks about her life in New York.
"Here," she says, "I feel safe."
