State wildlife managers this afternoon abruptly suspended their plans to build an archery park at the Denman Wildlife Area, saying an Oregon legislator instead wants them to step back and look at helping support local private ranges.
Rep. Sal Esquivel, R-Medford, asked the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to cancel its scheduled public meeting Monday at the wildlife area to present its plans to the public, said Russ Stauff, the ODFW's Rogue Watershed manager who is spearheading the range effort.
Stauff said Esquivel wants the agency to "take a step back" on building its own range and instead look at developing other opportunities. Stauff declined further comment.
The Medford area is home to two archery shops with indoor ranges and an outdoor range is outside of Eagle Point.
Esquivel did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.
The planned Denman archery park off East Gregory Road was designed to include separate covered, outdoor shooting areas for youth, bowhunters and archers who could shoot at targets at the Olympic distance of 90 meters.
The park was set to be free for use by the public, local shooting clubs and youth groups. It would have been open during the wildlife area's normal hours of sunrise to sunset.
The design was based on one offered by the Archery Trade Association, which has seen a spike in archery interest after recent movies like "Hunger Games" and a good United States showing in the recent Olympics.

Last night's American Horror Story went where even 1984's notorious, depraved and once-protested Santa slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night wouldn't: It featured a man in a Santa costume assaulting a nun, punching and whipping her in the ultimate S&M roleplay of secular and religious reasons for the season. The full scene, in which Deadwood's Ian McShane plays a maniac exacting his revenge to Jessica Lange's Sister Jude for keeping him in solitary confinement, is above. Usually American Horror Story, which is so fucking great and trashy this season, merely goes over the top: here it goes over the top and through the chimney.
American Horror Story: Asylum's Christmas episode was the sickest holiday special I've seen since The Anna Nicole Show's Christmas episode. (Nothing, though, even approached the terror of Cousin Shelly's rendition of "The First Noel.") AHS also featured a (different) Santa getting shot and a kind of alien-induced, swapped-identity dream that took place in front of a Christmas tree. This episode is a new classic in the making. Angry parents, do you see what I see?

Maenam Song Si
Maenam Song Si or the Bi-colored River or the Mun Rivers alluvium, is the place where two rivers join: the brown Mekong River and the blue Mun River. It is located in Khong Chiam District, about 84 kilometers from Ubon Ratchathai City centre. Visitors can hire a boat from Khong Chiam district to see the alluvium.
Pha Taem National Park
This park covers an area of 140 square kilometers, where plateaus and hills dominate the parks landscape. There are sheer cliffs, which resulted from earthquakes. Most trees are of the deciduous dipterocarp forest. Irregular shaped sandstone is found scattered throughout the area.
Namtok Saeng Chan or Namtok Long Ru
This waterfall is only 1 kilometer from Thung Na Muang Waterfall. This is a very beautiful waterfall with a special characteristic of its own the small stream of water cascades down the face of the cliff through an opening in the rock resembling a hole. Visitors viewing the waterfall at noon when the sunlight shines through the hole will be presented with a view of the cascading water similar to that of the full moon shining onto the world. Travelling can be made from Highway No. 2134, followed by Highway No. 2112, and then turning right to the waterfall.

12 On Your Side Special Investigation: Pro Resources: Is it legit?
12 On Your Side: Pro Resources loses accreditation after News 12 investigation
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The local branch of Pro Resources has closed nearly two months after a News 12 On Your Side investigation into the job service.
We first warned you about Pro Resources in August. Our investigation raised questions about deceptive advertising practices.
On Oct. 19, 2012, the Augusta and Macon branches of Pro Resources closed its doors.
Pro Resources is an employment service company. Customers pay a nearly $200 fee for a year membership. The membership allows them to access a job database.
"It doesn't surprise me," Ashley Lowe said.
Lowe is now talking publicly about Pro Resources. She is the whistleblower who alerted News 12 On Your Side to the advertising practices of Pro Resources.
"Why are you coming forward now?" asked News 12's Liz Owens.
"Because everything is shut down," Lowe replied. "It's all out in the open, it's all cleared, and honestly I have nothing to lose at this point."
Lowe worked at Pro Resources for more than two years. Her job was to connect new clients with employment opportunities. The problem, she says, is that some of those opportunities were deceptive.
"The finally straw, when I came forward to y'all, there was a job that was advertised that wasn't open anymore and I was told to tell them, 'Oh, it must have just closed. ' I was told to lie about it," she said.
Our investigation revealed Pro Resources advertised closed jobs as open jobs, out-of-town jobs advertised as local and employment available online to anyone advertised as exclusive only to Pro Resources.
"Not everyone should pay this fee and you know what? Buyer beware," is what Jennifer Solberg with Pro Resources told News 12 back in August.
Pro Resources management is not longer responding from inquiries from News 12.
News 12's story eventually led to the Better Business Bureau pulling Pro Resources' A-plus rating and removing the company's accreditation in Augusta.
"They only had limited number of members apply last month, and I believe some of that they stated was because of the previous airing of what was going on with them in the past," said Gigi Turner with the Better Business Bureau of the CSRA.
Turner still has some concerns about the business.
"There was no signs of closing before the allegations were made," she said. "We do have some concerns in the aspect of what was taking place in regards to Pro Resources before the closing."
Pro Resources left very little information for current customers. The only information posted is on the back door of the empty building. A sign gives a P.O. box to mail complaints.
"They have also said that they are not giving refunds," Turner said.
She does say Pro Resources is allowing current clients to access the job database from home.
Lowe says her manager suspected she was the whistleblower shortly after our investigation aired this summer.
Owens: "Do you at all regret coming forward?"
Lowe: "No, no."
Owens: "Being a whistleblower?"
Lowe: "No."
Owens: "You're without a job now."
Lowe: "But there are a lot of people that that was their gas money."
The address Pro Resources left for their customers is P.O. Box 1027, Highland, MI 48357. If you have a complaint about the Augusta branch of Pro Resources, please contact the BBB at (706) 210-7676.

AMA: Physicians entangled in tainted drugs lawsuits
A deadly meningitis outbreak involving tainted steroid shots that has killed at least 45 people and sickened nearly 700 more has led to an explosion of lawsuits against the compounding pharmacy linked to the infections. But with the New England Compounding Center now in bankruptcy, patients and their families are searching for alternative legal relief � such as from the physicians who prescribed the injections.

Special testing ensures the water resistance of each Oris divers watch
In diving and watchmaking two mutually dependent worlds collide. Divers consider a quality watch an essential piece of safety equipment, a lifeline. Oris has used the skills, expertise and feedback of a number of experienced divers to produce technical watches of professional quality with universal appeal.
Some of the bestselling Oris models of all time have come from the Oris world of diving – the combination of quality, style and functionality having convinced many an enthusiast that Oris is the intelligent choice.
The partnership with Carlos Coste, which began in 2006, cemented the high performance aspect of the Oris diver's collection. Each watch in the collection comes with Carlos Coste's seal of approval. It is a ringing endorsement from a man whose name appears in the Guinness Book of World Records as one of the world's greatest freedivers. Our work with a number of highly skilled professional divers has added depth and additional innovative technology to the watches in the Oris divers collection. Our work with Roman Frischknecht and the Col Moschin regiment has produced some of our toughest, most resilient watches to date.

Ixolaris, a novel TFPI molecule
Research in the Vector Biology Section explores the biochemical and pharmacological diversity found in the salivary glands of blood feeding insects and ticks. Molecular, biochemical, and pharmacological approaches are used in our research. Recently, we have used vector salivary gland transcriptome analysis to discover new and interesting compounds and for that reason have developed tools for bioinformatic analysis.
In each of the major areas of research, we seek discoveries that improve our basic knowledge of the evolution of the blood feeding behavior, at the same time generating novel compounds that can be of pharmacological use or developed as vaccine targets. Inquiries about predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships as well as Ph.D. studentships in the National Institutes of Health Graduate Partnership Program are welcome.
The figure shows the structure of Ixolaris, an anti-clotting protein derived from the tick Ixodes scapularis (also pictured). This protein has anti-clotting and anti-metastatic properties.
Dr. Ribeiro received his M.D. from the State University of Rio de Janeiro and a Ph.D. from the Biophysics Institute of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He was an assistant and associate professor at the Harvard School of Public Health and professor at the department of entomology in the University of Arizona before joining NIAID in 1996. His work focuses on the role of vector saliva in blood feeding by arthropods, where a great diversity of pharmacologically active compounds and new targets for vaccination against vector-borne diseases have been uncovered. Dr. Ribeiro has served for many years in the Tropical Diseases Research Program of the World Health Organization and as editor and reviewer for several journals.

By day they are regular moms - getting the kids off to school, ferrying them to various appointments and programs, and heading off to work. But slap on some padding and suddenly a horde of hockey mavens emerges.
"If you can ice skate, even just a little, we can get you playing hockey," said Sheryl Staten, manager of the Western Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation District Eagle Pool and Ice Rink facility. Staten is also an enthusiastic member of the 2012-13 Eagle's squad.
This year, the WECMRD/Mountain Women's Hockey League attracted enough players for five squads - the Brewsers, the Wild, the Shooters, the Checkers and the Eagles. This season marked the 10th year for a local women's hockey league.
According to Staten, about 75 to 90 local women sign up to play each season. "Our average player age is late 30s, early 40s," she noted. However, the league accepts players as young as 18 and as old as are willing to play.
What brings a mom out on the ice? According to Staten, some end up joining the league because their kids or husbands are hockey players.
"A lot of women get into it because it's a family thing, but we get a mix of everyone," said Staten. "I have a girl on my team who was a figure skater and we do see her figure skating background on the ice every now and then."
For many of the players, once they hit the ice they are hooked. Heather Rawlings is a case in point.
Rawlings said for years Staten and another friend, Sacha Kostick, have urged her to play.
"But I hadn't played competitive hockey since I was 10 and I am a lot older now," said Rawlings. After her friends repeatedly assured her she didn't have to be good, she just had to know how to skate, Rawlings decided to give hockey a try.
"Now I can't imagine what took me so long to do it," she said.
"I play defense and my son is also a defenseman. At 10, he is much better than I am," Rawlings continued.
She said one of the best compliments she received all season was from her hockey-playing son, Jensen. He went to one of her early games and then attended an Eagles game during last week's tournament. Jenson told his mom she had really gotten better.
"The most difficult part of playing was just getting over myself mentally," Rawlings said. She had butterflies in her stomach before every game. "Sure it's all for fun, but if you don't get nervous before a game, it means you don't care. I got nervous because I wanted to do right by all the people."
In referring to "all the people" Rawlings was speaking of her team's volunteer coaches and her teammates. Talk to any league member and they trumpet coach volunteers - Tim Dundon and Bruce of the Brewers; Willow Murphy and Shane Gremmer of the Wild; Kris Schweitzer of the Shooters; Paul Redmond, Steve Mueller and Nick Graham of the Eagles; and Brian Culp and Karl Borsi of the Checkers.
Players also trumpet one another.
"The women's hockey league is awesome," said eight-year veteran player and Eagles team captain Claudia Wells. "It's the neatest group of woman I have ever met in my life."
When asked what's the most difficult part of playing hockey, Wells is stumped.
"I am not a natural athlete but I don't think there is anything hard about it. It's just fun," she said. "Its great exercise and once you start playing, it's addictive."
Wells said playing hockey is largely about learning some basic skills. That's what the coaches stress and that's what players pick up in quick order. "For most people, it's just not that hard."
Five years ago, Kim Sharkey and a friend decided to sign up together. "I had probably ice skated 10 times in my whole life before doing this," she said.
Like so many other players in the league, after her first season, Sharkey was hooked. She has played on three different teams during the past five years. "I like all the camaraderie and it's a great workout," she said. "We all play against one another and then with one another. You duke it out on the ice and then have beers together after the game."
Rawlings was surprised by how the league includes a wide swath of women. One teammate is a friend of Rawling's mother and others are young 20-somethings. "It's a great atmosphere, with kids coming to the games and yelling, 'Go Mommy!'"
Rawlings noted that her participation in the league did require family support with practices and games taking up a couple of evenings a week. The season began with the player draft and practices back in November.
"But the season didn't last nearly long enough," she said. "As a rookie, I really got into it. It is fabulous exercise and I now have 14 more friends than I had three months ago and they are all wonderful women."
Wonderful women with an ornery streak, is more like it.
Good natured heckling and rabid team spirit are a mainstay of the league. Staten said traditionally, teams start pranking one another at tournament time, but this year, trash talk was a season-long phenomenon.
"We have been toilet papering each other's houses and painting on people's cars all season," said Staten. "There has definitely been a lot of heckling this year."
One team snuck into the locker room during another team's practice and proceeded to Saran wrap all the players bags, gear and shoes. Another time, a team was busy making posters at a member's house and when they went out to their cars, they found their rivals had been busy 'decorating.'
"People were calling out one another on Facebook all season," said Wells.
After the tournament ended last Sunday, players converged for a raucous celebration at Moe's in Eagle. So, while the 2012-13 season is now in the books, the sport's unique combination of sweat, social interaction and silliness already has members looking ahead to next year.
"I certainly plan on being in better shape next year when I start," said Rawlings. "I love women's hockey. I am hooked."
While the local women's recreational hockey season is now done, competitive traveling team women's hockey is coming to the Eagle rink this weekend.
The Women's Association of Colorado Hockey Mountain Division Tournament is planned March 22-23. The field includes nine squads:
• Fatty Fury Breckenridge
• Violent Femmes Vail
• Vail Twin Peaks
• Steamboat Bobcats
• Aspen Mother Puckers 2
• Glenwood Ice Queens
• Slick Chicks Glenwood
• Downvalley Divas Eagle

Danzy, coach who revived Stillman football, dies
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 2, 2012 at 11:50 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | When Theophilus Danzy Sr. became Stillman head football coach in 1999, the football program — which had been on hiatus for almost 50 years — had no helmets and no pads.
But, that didn't faze Danzy, who led the team through six consecutive winning seasons in the seven years he coached at Stillman College.
Danzy, a Tuscaloosa native, died Tuesday. He was 82.
Danzy, who graduated from Tuscaloosa Industrial High School — later what would be called Druid High — also attended Tennessee State University, Northeastern University in Boston and Southern University in Baton Rouge. In 1972, he was hired as the 12th head coach for Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas. He went on to coach at Alabama A&M and Alcorn State University before moving back to Tuscaloosa, where he revived the football program at Stillman in 1999. Before Danzy became Stillman's head football coach, the program had been dormant for almost 50 years.
"The Stillman Athletic Department is saddened by the passing of Coach Theo Danzy," said William Bright Jr., Assistant Athletics Director for Compliance and Communications at Stillman College. "His influence was felt by many in a myriad of ways. As a former coach, he had an impact on the lives of many young men who attended Stillman. As a mentor, he provided inspiration for several coaches who are in the profession today. As a person, he found ways to contribute to the Stillman football program as a guest during practice and at times as a pregame motivational speaker."
Although Danzy had said that "losing" was his biggest fear, he said that he knew that Stillman's football program would grow, despite a hiatus of almost half a decade. Danzy came out of retirement to coach at Stillman.
"I figured it would grow," Danzy told Tuscaloosa magazine in 2004. "The public had no hope we would win a game the first year, and we fooled around and won four. As long as we kept winning, I knew it would grow."
The Stillman football program went 40-27 in seven seasons under Danzy's leadership and had winning records in 2000 (6-3), 2001 (6-3), 2002 (8-2) and 2005 (6-4) and went 5-5 in both 2003 and 2004.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Danzy family during this difficult time of transition," Bright said. "Coach Danzy and the spirit he brought to Tiger football will be missed."
Danzy was head coach at Stillman until 2005.
In the article for Tuscaloosa magazine, he said he imagined that Stillman would be his last job coaching.
"In coaching, you are never without someone to mingle with," he told the magazine. "I like that. I'm getting philosophical, but I think it sustains life. This job gives me an opportunity to see the next morning with a challenge."
Danzy was father to five, including Theophilus Danzy Jr., Loretta Huff, Sonia Thomas, Anthony Danzy and Jennifer Means.
Funeral services will be held at noon Wednesday at Bethel Baptist. Burial with military honors will follow at Cedar Oak Memorial Park in Tuscaloosa.

1- your computer specs (cpu, memory) and the precise server version you're using
q6600 2,4ghz, 4gb 1ghz ram.
v1.10.51 of the ps3 media server program.
2- the network connection you are using for streaming your files (wifi, homeplugs, ethernet 100Mbits, or gigabit)
I think its called homeplugs, the electrical thingies you plug in and it works as a ethernet cable.
this is where the problem is probably, i'm using devolo DLan something something 80mbps version, its currently showing that I have a 65mbps signal to the ps3 (it varies from lowest 50 to 65, its steady though... only seen the 50 once).
I don't use a router in between, its my PC -> homeplugs about 20-40m cant remember -> ps3. I share the internet from my PC and the pc connects wireless to the router (large house, only one router and it doesnt reach the ps3).
3- detailed infos on what's not working
my computer can transcode everything I've tried FLAWLESSLY, buffer is full at all times. the video hiccups A LOT on HD movies (720p).
I've also seen that it really depends on the file I'm trying, some files have a lot more bit rate than others, planet earth (bbc shows, very beautiful) work very well but in complex scenes with like a lot of birds flickering about or heavy snow it hiccups, I've also seen that this happens when the bit rate goes over 10-15mbps (info when playing (select)). when I play planet earth shows it says in the menu that its mpeg-2 but when I play it the codec up in the right corner shows "AVC", when I play james bond - dr no, it says mpeg-2 in the corner and the bit rate is super high, even though the ps3 server program says it peaks at 30mbps it shows up to 120mbps or something ridiculous while hiccuping.
when I look at the task manager and see how much its actually pumping out its shockingly low, I must be reading it wrong but im seeing 1-2mbps, I serously doubt that and I think its more like 10-20mbps, but really around 10 most of the time.
4- if you're transcoding some videos, which engine are you using ? (mencoder, avisynth/mencoder, tsmuxer)
5- a debug.log file excerpt, or you can zip the whole file. this file can be found in the application directory, or if you have UAC and Vista activated, likely found in the Windows temp directory
6- if you are streaming to anything other than a PS3, please mention it
im not
thanks in advance.

Two brothers from McLoud charged in a 2012 homicide have been scheduled for a preliminary hearing April 11 on charges involving the death of a man found dead at Shawnee Twin Lakes.
The body of Adam Pacheco, 27, was found Dec. 29 about halfway down the north side of the dam on Belcher Road at Lake No. 1. His cause of death was ruled as multiple gunshot wounds.
Andrew Wallace Fish, 25, is charged in Pottawatomie County District Court with murder the first degree, deliberate intent. He is accused of "deliberately, intentionally, with malice aforethought," causing the death of Pacheco by shooting him in the head with a firearm.
His brother, Reuben Dale Fish, 33, is charged with accessory after the fact and is accused of having knowledge that his brother committed the crime of murder, charges show. Prosecutors also allege Reuben Fish aided his brother in moving Pacheco's body from their residence in McLoud so that Andrew Fish could avoid or escape arrest in the crime, charges show.
A preliminary hearing, where a judge determines if there is enough evidence for a case to proceed, is now scheduled for both defendants on April 11.
Both remain jailed in the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center.
If convicted of first-degree murder, Andrew Fish could face the death penalty, imprisonment for life or life without parole.
Reuben Fish, if convicted on the accessory charge, could face imprisonment not less than five to 45 years.
Watch for updates.

Early 20th century: abbreviation of revolution.
revolve from Late Middle English:
The Latin verb volvere had the sense 'to turn round, roll, tumble'; add re- in front and you get meaning such as 'turn back, turn round'. This is the basic idea behind revolve and its offshoots: revolution (Late Middle English) which only came to mean the overthrow of a government in 1600, and which developed the form rev for the turning over of a motor in the early 20th century; and revolt (mid 16th century) initially used politically, and developing the sense 'to make someone turn away in disgust' in the mid 18th century. The sense 'roll, tumble' of volvere developed into vault, both for the sense 'leap' (mid 16th century) which came via Old French volter 'to turn (a horse), gambol', and for the arch that springs up to form a roof (Middle English). The turning sense is found in voluble (Middle English) initially used to mean 'turning', but was used for words rolling out of the mouth by the late 16th century, and in volume (Late Middle English) originally a rolled scroll rather than a book, but with the sense 'quantity' coming from an obsolete meaning 'size or extent (of a book)' by the early 16th century. Convoluted (late 18th century) comes from convolvere 'rolled together, intertwined' (the plant convolvulus, from the same root, that climbs by turning its stem around a support already existed as a word in Latin, where it could also mean a caterpillar that rolls itself up in a leaf); while devolve (Late Middle English) comes from its opposite devolvere 'to unroll, roll down'; and involve (Late Middle English) from involvere 'to roll in'.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Texas A&M - Corpus Christi baseball player Adam Hoelscher has been named the GoIslanders.com Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by Pepsi. Hoelscher earned the award following his season-opening victory on the mound.
Hoelscher took the mound in the opening game of the year, pitching a complete game shutout against Nebraska Omaha to give his team a season-opening victory. He did not allow a hit until the fifth inning and it was the first complete game of Hoelscher's career. The junior from local Calallen HS surrendered just five hits and two walks while striking out seven UNO batters to set the tone for the weekend.
The Islanders finished the series against UNO with a 3-1 record, playing doubleheaders both Saturday and Sunday.
Hoelscher and the rest of the baseball team will travel to Houston to take on the Cougars in the first road game of the year tonight at 6:30 p.m.

Spare 130 rd ECHO 1 AK Series Mid Cap Magazine
$ 19.99
Spare 130 rd ECHO 1 AK Series Mid Cap Magazine - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- Great mag This mag is the best non high cap mag you can get! It's very sturdy and never misfeeds. There's not much you can say other than it's great and durable! Buy this, it's worth it!
- Best Think real for a second, all the high cap mags you'll have to reload every 50-60 shots, and they are all plastic.
Only thing is that these are 25 bucks each.
So if you have the money, buy 2 or 3.
Peace out
- Minor issues out of the box. The short version for those who don't like to read: These magazines may require some minor hand fitting (and this is something that can happen with real-steel firearm magazines in some cases).
If you are willing to work with that, then I recommend these magazines. If you want instant gratification out of the box, you might be better off with a different mag. The Echo 1 600 round hi-cap that came with the gun did not have any fitting problems.
These magazines were very difficult to lock into place on my Echo 1 Red Star AKM AEG because the metal on the front edge of the magazine was just slightly too wide.
This problem can be easily resolved by very lightly filing away a small amount of metal from the sides of the front edge of the magazine with a hand file. Don't use a Dremel or any other powered grinding tool because you can take off too much metal too quickly.
If you try inserting and removing the magazines several times, the black finish will rub away, making it very clear exactly where the metal on metal contact is occurring.
Otherwise, these are excellent magazines. Don't try loading them with a standard magazine loader tube; the BB's will fly back in your face once you try to fill the mag beyond about 70 rounds.
The UTG magazine loader (the one that is shaped like a pistol mag) works very well for loading these magazines.
- Not so greatI bought three of these mags and and only one works right. RDM1984 is right, you do have to remove some metal to get them to fit in the gun correctly. But once i did this the 2 of the 3 mags did not work. Still not sure quite why they did this. It would have been a great price if it had worked.
- waste I got this when i orderd my Echo 1 Covert ak. at first i had to file down the catch to fit my ak. Like the other guy at the top said you had to do, then it worked.
About a week ago i was in a pro airsoft practice( i have to help teach the newbies how to work on our team because i am second in comand, like vice president)and it stopped feeding. i tried to use lube on it because the spring refused to go up all the way, leaving a huge gap of bbs left in it. i got it to work for a while but then it stoped feeding again in a high stress situation and i am like what the ****. Now i have to hold it staight in the magazine well, looking like a dork because i have a utg forgrip on the front. i am going to attempt to take it apart to see what's with it, but i am just going to stick with high caps for a while. it's anoying to reload a lot anyways, for me at least.
~Mr.Heartless. Team second in comand for White Locus
- Sketchy MagsI bought one of these for use with my Echo-1. You'd think since the mag is made by Echo-1 that it would fit perfectly in an Echo-1 weapon. However, that was not the case. Because of this I keep having feeding issues. To make it fit I had to file down the front catch on the mag. If you don't mind putting in the work then this is a decent mag.

'Game of Thrones' Recap: "The Laws of Gods and Men" and Tyrion's Trial
Tonight's episode of "Game of Thrones," "The Laws of Gods and Men," was by far this season's best. It began with an overture of sex and violence but once certain plot threads were adequately spun, the show shifted into a Westerosi version of "Night Court," and Peter Dinklage's miracle of modern television, Tyrion Lannister, returned to the foreground after half-a-season spent stuck in a grim dungeon.
A full half of the episode was dedicated to his show trial for the murder of King Joffrey. As the credits rolled, and after Tyrion had finally abandoned any hope for love and honor and spat out his contempt for the Lannister clan and the rabble of King's Landing, I was reminded of why I love this character to begin with, and why his absence was so noticeable: It's as if he's the only person in the entire kingdom who realizes, rightly, that everyone around him is insane.
A quick summation of what's going on elsewhere: It's always fun when "Game of Thrones" opens up the map. Tonight, Davos and Stannis sailed into Bravos, metaphorical hats in hand, hoping to secure funds from the Iron Bank. They need money for troops. But, unlike in Westeros, where blood-claims rule the day, Bravos is by the numbers. And Stannis's numbers are pretty lame. Davos argues for Stannis, pointing out that it's Tywin Lannister who is really in charge of Westeros. And what happens to the Iron Bank's investment when the old lion dies? They get their money, and Davos uses it to pay for his old friend, Salladhor Saan.
In Meereen, Danaerys is learning the ins and outs, ups and downs of being a queen. When your dragons barbecue a few stray goats, you have to pay for it. And even brutal justice has a face. When confronted with the son of a recently crucified master, who begs for the right to bury his father, she sees the emotional toll of her regal pronouncements. That maybe there is no such thing as All Good or All Bad, and that ruling requires both emotional and practical sensitivities. Her subjects are not pieces on a chessboard.
Back in Westeros, the High Council is well aware of what's happening with Danaerys in the East. She has an army, she has dragons; she is a threat. Tywin is not convinced. He's more of a numbers guy, and he's crunched them. Armies win wars these days, not dragons.
At the Dreadfort, Yara Greyjoy and the Iron Islanders storm the walls in search of Theon. They find him, fully transformed into Reek, wallowing in the dog kennels. Yara appeals to her brother, but Theon won't leave. Ramsay appears, a fight ensues, and Yara makes the tough choice to leaver her brother behind. As a reward, Theon/Reek is given a tender bath by Ramsay who continues to mangle Reek's already tattered mind. He asks for a favor: Can Reek pretend to be a person that he isn't in order to help capture a castle? Can Reek pretend to be Theon Greyjoy?
But the episode's showstopper was the Trial of Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion does his best to keep his mouth shut, as witness after witness appears to condemn him: Cersei, Meryn Trant, Grand Maester Pycelle and even Lord Varys. Midway through the trial Jaime, not wanting to see his brother executed, pleads with Tywin to spare Tyrion if Jaime promises to leave the Kingsguard, take a wife, and continue the Lannister lineage. Of course, Tywin agrees. This was always the plan. Tyrion will beg for mercy, be sent to the Night's Watch and Jaime will produce new heirs to Casterly Rock.
It doesn't work out that way, though. Once Shae appears (echoing Lord Varys's earlier assertion that desire does nothing but damage) to lie about a grand conspiracy between Tyrion and Sansa to kill Joffrey, you can see Tyrion lose all hope. All his life he's fought against his father, his siblings, and his society. He saved King's Landing and has been rewarded with public humiliation and condemnation for a crime he didn't commit. In Shae he knew love, briefly. We still don't know why Shae betrays Tyrion, whether out of revenge for having been sent away or whether her uncharacteristically modest clothing conceals the scars of hideous torture. Regardless, she's there, she lies, and so Tyrion snaps. He lashes out with words he must have rehearsed all his life: He's on trial for being a dwarf. That was his first and only crime.
And so, in the final seconds, Tyrion smashes his father's intricate chessboard and requests a trial by combat.

I had to get my Maxine Christmas mug out today to remind me that this is not the time of year to be cranky. Christmas will come and go and no one will remember if the bow on that box matched the paper or if there was a smudge in the icing on that Santa cookie. The birth of Jesus should foster feelings of warmth and happiness, not frustration and exhaustion. Do yourself a favor and take it a little easier on yourself this year, OK? I give you permission.
Here's a delicious soup recipe to warm your heart and tummy after a long day of Christmas shopping or gift wrapping. If you're squeamish about using bacon grease just use all olive oil, but it really does add to the overall smoky flavor in this soup. Also, if you like extra heat, add another chipotle or some of the adobo sauce to get it to the hotness level you like.
6 strips of center cut bacon, cooked crisp and then crumbled. Reserve one tablespoon of the bacon fat.
1 lb. northern beans, sorted, rinsed and soaked overnight, then cooked per package instructions and drained. (or 3 16 oz. cans of northern beans, drained)
1 TBSP olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 potatoes, peeled, cubed
2 TBSP tomato paste
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced finely (I actually pureed mine in the food processor with a little of the adobo sauce)
6 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper
Heat reserved bacon fat and olive oil in large soup pot. Add onions, celery and carrots. Season with salt and pepper and saute until onion is softened, 6-7 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another minute or two. Stir in the tomato paste and chipotle puree and mix well. Add the chicken broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, season well with salt and pepper and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the beans and simmer for another 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and add chopped parsley. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with crumbled bacon.

The second annual Granite Falls Area Community Foundations (GFACF) grant recipient celebration was held this past Thursday at the Granite Run Golf Course. Once again, the announcement of a small group of grant applicants headlined the event that included door prizes, a silent auction, wine tasting and hors d'oeuvres.
"I think everybody generally enjoyed themselves," said GFACF Secretary Spencer Kvam. "It's fun to give money away to the community."
A crowd of about 60 turned out for the for Granite Run sponsored event. Former GFACF Board Chair Craig Bakkelund served as the Master of Ceremonies, announcing five of the evening's six grant recipients––as one grant was also given directly from the Dave and Liz Reimer Endowment Fund.
According to Kvam, the foundation received five grant application requests totalling $1,950––which was a few hundred dollars short of that which were set aside for grant applications. Those dollars will become available to meet grant requests of the future. Last year, a combined $2,450 was distributed to six nonprofits.
Included among the 2012 grant recipients was the Granite Falls Historical Society, Lady Slipper Garden Club, Granite Falls Riverfront Revitalization, Granite Arts Council and Bert Raney Elementary.
Of the five, only the garden club was not one of last year's winners as well. The winner of the Reimer Endowment fund grant was Granite Falls Hospital and Ambulance.
Last year at this time the Granite Falls Foundation had received $85,000 in financial commitments. According to Kvam, Thursday night's celebration dinner has helped the organization surpass $100,000.
As more donations arrive in the future the size of the endowment is expected to grow and, with it, the number and scale of projects that the foundation is able to assist.
A description of the projects receiving grants follows:
•Granite Falls Historical Society - $400 toward security camera and motion lights to deter museum theft.
•Bert Raney Elementary - $500 toward the "Let me hear it, see it and read it!" initiative which will go toward the purchase twenty-five audiobooks for ipads of Stacy Hinz's sixth grade class.
•Lady Slipper Garden Club - $250 so that the club can commission a local artist to design and create a pelican art piece for display in one of the five community gardens under the organizations care.
•Granite Arts Council - $500 to help fund the headlining entertainment for the Ole and Lena Winter Variety Show.
•Granite Falls Riverfront Revitalization - $300 to aid in the funding of roll up shades on the west side of the K.K. Berge building for the purpose of climate control and the protection of artwork and carpet from fading.
*The Granite Falls Hospital and Ambulance - In a grant issued by the Reimer endowment fund, the hospital and ambulance received $500 to be used to purchase equipment for training purposes.

I upgraded to PS3MS from TwonkyVision, and PS3MS smokes it in every way except for one - seek speed. Twonky can seek at 120x no prob, but PS3MS has trouble with 10x speed on my octo-mac. I see its listed as a known issue in the app itself under Readme, but it's not there in the known issues thread.
Is this still under development, or is it a Mac specific issue?

EVERYDAY LEADERSHIP: Use the PERT chart to accomplish daunting tasks
January 30, 2013
My wife Carol invited four friends for Christmas Day dinner this year. The day before Christmas I noticed Carol with a far away look, deep in thought....
That's got me curious. I'd like to see what the PERT chart looks like for this particular case.

Five Takeaways From September Jobs Report
U.S. employers added 148,000 jobs in September, and the unemployment rate ticked down to 7.2%, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Economists are still digesting today's report, but here are five initial takeaways:
Core story unchanged: The headline job gain was disappointing compared to economists' expectations, but don't get overly caught up in the month-to-month gyrations. The overall trend of frustratingly slow job growth continues. The economy has added an average of 185,000 jobs per month over the past year, practically unchanged from last month. Offsetting revisions made July's job growth look a bit worse than before and August's look a bit better, but there's little evidence of either a slowdown or an acceleration of hiring overall.
Little sign of confidence among workers…: The unemployment rate fell to its best mark of the recovery, and for the right reasons—more people were working, and fewer were unemployed. Other measures of un- and under-employment also improved. But that improvement isn't boosting confidence among job seekers. Labor force growth didn't even keep up with population gains, and the number of people entering the job market to look for work actually fell. (The number of people re-starting their job searches rose, but only slightly.) The number of "discouraged" workers—those who've stopped looking for jobs because they don't think they can find one—has actually risen over the past year. Little wonder, then, that for the 41st month in a row, more unemployed workers left the labor force in September than found jobs. In fact, the share of jobseekers finding work actually fell in September.
…or among companies: Not only was hiring weak in September, the report gives little indication that companies are about to go on a hiring spree. They didn't ask their existing employees to work more hours, or demand more overtime, both of which can be signs employers will need to step up hiring in the months ahead. Companies did employ 20,000 more temporary workers, which can be a sign of increased demand—but can also indicate caution, as companies resist bringing on permanent help.
But hints of improved job quality: Much of the job growth in recent years has been concentrated in low-wage sectors, leading to fears that the economy wasn't just adding too few jobs, it was adding the wrong kind. Tuesday's report hardly represents a reversal of that trend, but there were some encouraging signs. Average hourly wages rose 3 cents in September, and are up 49 cents over the past year—hardly robust growth, but better than earlier in the recovery. Full-time employment rose for the third month in a row, while part-time employment fell. And job growth was more evenly spread among sectors, with the generally better-paying construction, durable goods manufacturing and professional and business services sectors all showing growth.
Last clear picture: Tuesday's report may have been a mixed bag, but it was the clearest read we'll get on the job market for months. The government shutdown interfered with the collection of data for next month's job report, which could make the October figures less reliable. And beyond data-collection issues, the shutdown left thousands of people temporarily out of work, which could make the October data look worse—and November's better—than the underlying fundamentals. That means it could be January before we next get a clear indication of how the job market is performing.

Roger eases through
Our Champ opened his account in Rotterdam with a convincing win over Grega Zemlja 6-3, 6-1 in only 57 minutes. Roger is the current defending champion in this event which he has now appeared in 8 times and won twice. It took Roger only 29 minutes to get through the first set with service games that were impenetrable and he won it 6-3. The second set was no better for Zemlja and Roger was quickly up to a 3-1 lead drilling forehand winners right and left. Another weapon he employed was the odd backhand which he used sparingly but to great effect and closing out with a break in the penultimate game. This was our champ at his brilliant best. ''Hall play is different. It's warmer, so the ball flies more and it takes a bit of getting used to,'' Roger said. ''The first ones are never easy but I'm happy to be back and playing well. I've been here and preparing for a few days, but matches are always different than training"
Keep it up champ!
wish you to defend your tittle and you will inshallah :D Love You :D
You broke a new record and you can egalize another tomorrow. Good luck!
a loyal RFan
Congratulations :)
Wish you all the best champ :)

Mom, child killed in accident
A 20-year-old Donegal man whose dangerous driving caused the death of his 16-year-old girlfriend and their three-month-old daughter has been given a two-year-jail sentence substituted by 240 hours of community service.
Christopher Hanlon from Lettermacaward pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing the deaths of Kerry-Ann Meehan, originally from Derry and her daughter, Neisha.
Hanlon was driving of the Toyota Corolla which collided with an Isuzu Trooper jeep which was pulling a trailer containing sheep.
Letterkenny Circuit Court heard a that blow-out on a tire which had been worn down by Hanlon performing handbrake turns caused him to lose control at Tullygay outside Letterkenny on June 16, 2008.
The family had been driving from Derry -- where they had been visiting Kerry Ann's grandparents -- to Doochary, where they had recently set up home in a rented flat.
Hanlon told Gardai (police) he knew the tires were bald and he had intended to change them.
The car was traveling at between 80kph and 98kph, and while the speed was not excessive for the road it was for the condition of the tires, the court heard.
Giving evidence to the court, Hanlon said waking up to the news that Kerry-Ann and Neisha were gone and he had missed their funerals was unbearable. He apologized to the Meehan family for what he had done.
Meehan's mother, Anna, told the court she felt Hanlon should get a custodial sentence because he had been irresponsible and reckless in driving with bald tires.
Judge John O'Hagan said Hanlon was a special case who should not be categorized as a boy racer. Hanlon had already served part of his punishment and would be serving it for the rest of his life, he said.
O'Hagan imposed a two-year prison sentence substituted with 240 hours community service. Hanlon was also disqualified from driving for eight years.

Years wait for help
The parents of a six-year-old Portarlington boy, recently diagnosed with a learning and physical disability, has been told that there is a 3 1/2 year waiting list for crucial therapy their boy needs.
After years waiting on a diagnosis for their son, Anthony and Louise Lynch say they have now hit another brick wall.
"All we want is to provide the best for our kids like every parent in the country, but we feel the systems and paths we are forced to follow will not have the best outcome for our son," Anthony said. "It leaves us feeling like we have failed him."
A person with dyspraxia has problems with movement and coordination. Although dyspraxia does not affect a person's intelligence it can cause learning difficulties, especially for children.
Daniel's parents have been told that their son needs physiotherapy for his low muscle tone, and occupational therapy to help him develop vital social skills, but the Lynch's have been told that there are long waiting lists for both services.
"We recently received a letter from the Health Service Executive (HSE) informing us that the occupational therapist (OT) was currently out sick and would then be commencing maternity leave. The letter said that Daniel would be seen in due course," Louise explained.
"We thought this meant we would be waiting about six months but we've recently found out that the waiting list is three years. I rang the OT manager in Tullamore and he told me that he usually has six OTs for the Laois/Offaly area, but now due to the HSE recruitment embargo he now only has four.
"Daniel will be 9 1/2-years-old, by the time he will be seen. By then he will have serious problems with his muscles, his learning ability and his temper, as he gets very frustrated."
"Daniel has ambitions to be a teacher, but without OT and social skills won't be able to stand up in front of a class. He has the potential to be a teacher, but needs help to get there."
When Daniel suffered a concussion after throwing himself off the couch at 11 months old, Anthony and Louise knew something wasn't right. At two years old, Daniel climbed up a free standing wardrobe which fell on top of him, but he wasn't seriously injured in the fall.
Louise explains, "We started bringing him to our GP, but he just said it was the terrible twos and that he needed more socialization now that his older brother, Dylan was in school."
But Anthony and Louise instinctively knew that there was something wrong with Daniel.
Louise sought a second opinion. "Without even seeing Daniel, the doctor said it sounded like dyspraxia," she said.

I have never liked temepeh (it's a texture thing for me), but these meatballs look off the hook good, I'm going to have to give tempeh another try!!!

Mmm. These look really good.
RE: Kitchenaid Ice Cream Mixer Attachment
I would say overall it works pretty well. I recieved it for a birthday gift so really I can't complain. Overall it does really well and produces a good quality of ice cream. I've had the most success with higher fat ice creams non fat sorbets and less success with lower fat ice creams. As might be expected they tend to come out a little icy, which I am sure would happen with most of the makers in this price range. I love it for the size and convenience. I don't have a lot of space so the fact I can keep the bowl permenantly in my freezer is perfect. The one thing I will say is that the bowl has a tendency to warm up quickly so I tend to cool my custard for longer than is recommended and to only use it when my condo is a low temperature. My only troubles came on a warm summer day when my ice cream refused to set up.

These look amazing. I am going to have to give this a try. I agree the combination of spices with the sweet potatoes sounds divine, and I am always looking for more ways to incorporate tempeh in my diet. Vegan Dad, I have a question unrelated to this exact post (sorry), when do use your quick seitan cutlets as opposed to Bryanna's recipe? Or do you use them for "chickeny" recipes all the time now? I am getting ready to make them, and I didn't know if they work out better for certain things, or if they are pretty much a go to recipe that works in anything. I love the fact that they seem so easy to make, and don't take all day. Thanks!!

I have to admit that I have not made Bryanna's recipe in a long time--probably since my introduction to the wonders of homemade vegan sausage. I have been making the quick cutlets as as chicken sausages, then dicing them up for recipes. Since I rarely do anything that actually requires an actual cutlet, it did not make sense to make them that way. I don't think I would make the quick cutlet for things like the Chickenless Kiev; I would take the time to make Bryanna's recipe. I have also yet to try the so-called Baked Seitan O'Greatness that is posted somewhere on the PPK forum.

this blog is awesome and these look delicious! i can't wait to get home (now at boarding school) and try these recipes! in your experience, what are the chances that a place like food emporium, pathmark, or d'agostino's will carry tempeh (at a reasonable price hah)?
thanks! :)

C. Toast,
Wow. People still go to boarding school? It sounds so Victorian.
I must say that I have never heard of any of the store you listed, so I have no idea whether they carry tempeh. Perhaps another reader here knows? Anyone?

I didnt have all of the ingredients for the "meatballs" but we did make the tortillas last night and they were a huge hit! Thanks for the amazing recipes!

We just made these meatballs for a vegan potluck and they were a HUGE hit. They were the first thing to go, even though there were over 50 other potluck items to choose from. Great recipe! Thanks Vegan Dad!!

The League's primary community project is Concerts for Kids. Each season, a dozen docents from the League accompany busloads of school children from the Castro and Theuerkauf schools in Mountain View to Davies Symphony Hall.
League members enjoy a variety of social and musical events, music-oriented lectures and trips, and San Francisco Symphony concerts at Davies Symphony Hall.
