Breaking News:NDSU President Calls for Review of School Song Due To "Troubling" Lyrics
Apparently, the NDSU schools song uses racist racial references to Native Americans.
(Link to the news), (Link to the news), (Link to the News), (Link to the News)
If you look at the song, the offensive words are pretty obvious to most people.
Ho! a cheer for Green and Yellow, Up with Yellow and the Green; They're the shades that deck our prairies Far and wide with glorious sheen, Fields of waving green in springtime, Golden yellow in the fall— How the great high-arching heaven Looks and laughs upon it all!
Here in autumn throng the nations, Just to gather in the spoil, Throng on freight cars from the cities, Some to feast and some to toil, Then the yellow grain flows eastward And the yellow gold flows back; Barren cities boast their plenty And the prairies know no lack.
Hushed upon the boundless prairies Is the bison's thund'ring tread, And the red man passes with him On his spoilers' bounty fed. But the Norse, the Celt and Saxon With their herd increase, and find Mid these fields of green and yellow Plenty e'en for all mankind.
Ho! a cheer for Green and Yellow, Up with Yellow and the Green; They're the shades that deck our prairies Far and wide with glorious sheen, Fields of waving green in springtime, Golden yellow in the fall— How the great high-arching heaven Looks and laughs upon it all!
Campus Community-
Here's the letter that President Dean Bresciani sent out.
I recently had a troubling matter brought to my attention which I felt called for immediate action. While some may initially find it an overstated concern, others will find it central to a deep and sober examination of our campus history. I believe it is important to share my reactions with you, as they reflect a commitment to maintaining the diverse, welcoming and supportive campus community we all value.
Our school song, the "Yellow and the Green," has been a long-standing and broadly enjoyed tradition of our campus since 1908. Typically it is only performed through its first stanza; to be honest I have never heard it beyond that and I suspect most in our University community are like me. However, through our University's system for confidential reporting of bias issues, I've learned that the third stanza contains a variety of cultural and ethnic references (toward both majority and minority populations) which by contemporary standards are troubling.
While we cannot "un-write" history or a song, as an academic community I felt it was appropriate to take two actions. The first action was the intermediary but immediate removal of all but the first stanza from NDSU websites and publications. The second action was asking Provost Ingram and Vice President for Student Affairs Alvarez to bring together a faculty, staff and student group to study the song in its entirety and offer recommendations on the balance between our history and tradition of the song with contemporary concerns for its appropriateness. My intention is that the thoughtful and respectful conversation our campus community has traditionally valued will come from doing so.

NDSU Linebacker Carlton Littlejohn smokes Montana receiver Mitch Saylor
NDSU linebacker Carlton Littlejohn was assessed a personal four for targeting and given a game disqualification for this hit on Montana receiver Mitch Saylor. After further review, the disqualification for targeting was reversed. Littlejohn remained in the game, but NDSU was still given a penalty.
This is a perfect textbook example of how reviewing a penalty, in the end, will help the officials make the right call. College hockey should pay attention, the review didn't take all that long, and in the end right call was made.
Carlton Littleohn has been ejected after a targeting penalty, play is under review #NDSU

North Dakota AG College: ESPN Game Day Heading Back To Fargo
When it rains, it pours. Life is good for NDSU fans right now. So, for a second time in a year, ESPN game day is making a return trip to Fargo.
Like one of my Facebook friends said, "If you're a fan of a certain Big Ten football team this should embarrass you. Your squad is in the big 10 and can't produce a product ESPN cares about. Better program, better team, less scholarships. Honestly it's pretty sad, really." Begrudgingly, I must admit, he's right, that's an awesome feat. Yep, life is good for the NDSU football team.

WDAZ.COM - Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - When news broke over twitter this morning that ESPN's College GameDay would be making a return trip to Fargo next weekend if NDSU could beat Weber State tonight. Bison fans were quick to fire back with "we'll see you next week."

UND Football: Lou Holtz says UND and NDSU should play each other
By the way, anyone that thinks this match-up isn't beneficial to both schools, is delusional and out of touch with reality. Also, FBI University aka FU, isn't always going to be on top of FCS forever.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz told North Dakota State University and University of North Dakota presidents this week he can't believe the two longtime rivals don't play each other.Begin Rant: What the hell was former UND Athletic Director Roger Thomas thinking back in the days when NDSU made the transition to FCS Football. For some reason, we're still paying the price for this man's short sightedness. NDSU and UND are playing in every other sport but FCS Football. I just don't get this mind set.
The ESPN football analyst is in Grand Forks to speak to the North Dakota Petroleum Council annual meeting this morning. Holtz said he enjoyed having dinner Tuesday night with presidents and athletic directors from NDSU and UND.
"I just think that is insane that two great schools, 70 miles apart or so, are not playing one another," Holtz said.
Holtz, who also coached at the University of Minnesota and in the NFL, now works as an analyst for ESPN. The cable network is bringing its GameDay pregame show to broadcast from Fargo on Saturday.
"North Dakota State can fill up the stadium anyway, but it'd be a great money-maker for both schools, I think," Holtz said. "The Legislature needs to get involved."
Holtz said he predicted on four shows that NDSU would beat Kansas State and called it a "no-brainer" to pick the Bison.

Forum headline: Former UNO, UND football coach arrested in Iowa
The Fargo Forum probably was falling all over itself to put up that headline. To quote the A.P. article that the Forum doctored, "[Pat] Behrns had been head coach of the University of North Dakota football team from 1980 to 1985." Behrns hasn't coached at UND for 28 years. This is the same newspaper that won't hold their head football coach or the football players at NDSU accountable.

UND and NDSU to resume the football rivalry?
September 19th, 2015: Could that be the day when #NDSU and #UND end the drought? Bison have only Montana scheduled for that year #FCS
— Dom Izzo (@DomIzzoWDAY) June 19, 2013
Tonight, there was a tweet WDAY's Dom Izzo and apparently there's a chance that the NDSU and UND might resume the historic rivalry and begin playing football in 2015. That would be awesome news if true.
I was also re-reading an old blog post from last November and of course there was the usual and predictable moronathon of comments from NDSU fans. You know, "the who needs UND, blah, blah, blah"…Kind of reminds me of the comments I have seen made from another rival or ours.
Look, when I went to school at UND, the Sioux vs the Bison football game was one of the hottest tickets in town, it was a very fun rivalry. I don't understand why people are still biter on both sides, after all of these years. Sure, Roger Thomas made a poor decision by deciding not to continue playing NDSU, but he has been gone from UND for a long time.
Lastly, I found a comment from a fan that really hits a home run. Also, this guys comments kind of puts things in perspective. Check it out. I would love to buy this guy a beer, because he gets it. Seriously, he's right, do NDSU fan "really" want to see the Bison play some slouch team, that fits the weak sister of the poor label, or do they want to play a real rival?

Two NDSU softball players charged in connection with boozy initiation party
FARGO – Two people have been charged in Cass County District Court in connection with incidents that occurred on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 and involved individuals who at the time were members of North Dakota State University's women's softball team.So, today we find out that two NDSU Bison softball players Alexandria Sobrero and Cassidy Szeredy are facing charges of harassment and disorderly conduct as the result of a team party that went south late last year. This comes on the heels of five UND hockey players being charged for allegedly supplying alcoholic beverages to minors during a team party prior to the 2012-13 season.
The charges stem from an initiation party for freshman players that included beer-chugging contests and forced shots of liquor, one of the players allegedly told police.
Cassidy Szeredy is charged with harassment and disorderly counduct, a Class A misdemeanor and a Class B misdemeanor, respectively, according to a Monday afternoon news release from the Cass County State's Attorney's Office.
It will be interesting to see how the NDSU athletic department handles this case. We will see if the NDSU softball team has a win all cost attitude or will these two players sit out a game or two.

One Last time, NDSU makes their case for their athletes
I know this isn't hockey related but it's kind of a big deal to the people of North Dakota. I am also going to get back to covering UND hockey starting tomorrow when I go to the Hockey media luncheon, that I promise you.
This evening, NDSU head football coach Craig Bohl, Athletic Director Gene Taylor and University President Dean Bresciani addressed the Fargo media on why the North Dakota State University didn't suspend nine of the 10 players that plead guilty to violating North Dakota election laws. In other words, only one player is going to get suspended for basically screwing up a petition drive that Ducks Unlimited was going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on promoting.
So, whether those in Fargo to include fans of the Bison Nation want to acknowledge this or not – this this kind of a big deal – these football players attempted to selfishly circumvented the election process – these guys attempted to defraud the state of North Dakota for personal gain. That is a serious deal – I don't buy this crap about the players not really understanding what they did – that is absolute balderdash. These are adults and their actions have consequences and playing football for North Dakota State University is a privilege not a right – the Bison players in this case are also not the victims some have made them out to be.
If the NDSU coaching staff had just decided to suspend the players involved in this crime during the RMU game, this would have been over and it would have ended all of the speculation that has taken place since with each passing day.

Win at all costs is the message at NDSU
|North Dakota State Bison athletic logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Apparently, North Dakota State University officials don't think that it's a big deal to subvert elections laws and commit election fraud – sounds like the NDSU football coach doesn't feel that players on his team need to follow the rules that the rest of society follows.
Kevin Schnepf, INFORUM --- After the 6,000 Bison fans who made the trip to Fort Collins celebrated yet another win over a big-time opponent, they couldn't help but wonder if any of the Bison players are going to eventually face suspensions for their involvement in the highly publicized petition fraud case.All you have to do is read these quotes below by NDSU athletic director Gene Taylor – this is a text book definition of the arrogance by a public official – it's also apparent that the NDSU athletic director is delusional and out of touch with reality. North Dakota State University is a public university that is paid for by public funds received from state income taxes, that the state of North Dakota assesses the good people of the great state of North Dakota – that means that the athletic department is accountable to us – the tax payers in North Dakota.
NDSU athletic director Gene Taylor quickly answered that question after the game:
"There are not going to be any suspensions," Taylor emphatically said after the game. "These kids don't deserve a suspension. I'm not going to suspend them and neither is Craig (head coach Craig Bohl). As far as we are concerned, it is over."
This statement was made with NDSU President Dean Bresciani standing only a few feet away. Bresciani said he did not want to comment, saying he does not comment on inner-department matters.
This statement, no doubt, is going to add plenty of fodder for those who think the current 10 Bison players who were charged for forging names on petition drives should be suspended. There were even some Bison boosters at Saturday's pregame tailgating festivities who were anticipating some sort of suspension once these players have their day in court.
"What's going to happen in court, in my opinion, is going to be a lot less than what people think," Taylor said. "At the end of the day, these kids have been through enough."
"It's over," Taylor reiterated. "They felt horrible, they felt horrible. Every day, their pictures are in the paper, day after day after day. It gets and old and it does get to them.Let's look at it this way – you're representatives of the defending FCS National Champion – players on your teams – some of which are starters (4) – committed a crime. That's nothing to sneeze at – this isn't a status offense – this is an actual Class Misdemeanor.
"They were villified many times over and to come out and perform like they did, it's hats off to them. I'm tired of talking about it and I'm tired of seeing it in the paper. People need to move on because it's not changin

EDIT: NDSU Football players back in trouble with the law
Nice to see that nothing has changed at NDSU – also –
"North Dakota State University football coach Craig Bohl says the eight Bison football players charged with petition fraud won't be suspended...at least for now." You can listen to the press conference that was held on AM 740 the fan.
Here is the link to the North Dakota Attorney General's page... [ND AG]
Forum staff reports, INFORUM --- Eight current North Dakota State University football players and one former player are among 11 people facing charges in connection with voter fraud tied to general election ballot measures.Some over on Bisonville the Bison fans are taking a wait and see look at the new revelations about their beloved football team – some seem to think that it's a minor issue or are already looking for a way to deflect blame and claim that it's political. Let's blame UND for our problems.
Four of the accused are starters on the football team.
North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Secretary of State Al Jaeger identified the individuals charged as: Aireal Boyd, Josh Colville, Josh Gatlin, Demetrius Grey, Jennifer Krahn, Lane O'Brien, Samuel Ojuri, Brendin Pierre, Antonio Rodgers, Bryan Shepherd and Marcus Williams.
All have are charged with facilitation of voter fraud or filing a false statement, according to Stenehjem and Jaeger.
The charges are Class A misdemeanors.
Criminal complaints claim that all circulators of a petition are required to sign an affidavit stating they witnessed all the signatures and that all signatures are genuine.
While it's funny because it's NDSU, we will see how this plays out in the coming days; this could end up being a distraction that NDSU didn't want to have any part of. Some will say that it's a lot to do about nothing - yeah okay! I don't think that messing around with elections or committing fraud isn't something I want to be associated with nor is it a minor infraction.
EDIT:One NDSU fan even suggested that this is a conspiracy; I am not making this up. Just for the record – I would highly doubt that the A.G. of North Dakota would simply go on a witch hunt against the other school for something like this.
Wayne Stenehjem was born in Mohall, North Dakota, and he graduated from Bismarck High School in 1971 and Bismarck State College in 1972. He attended the University of North Dakota and the UND School of Law, graduating in 1977.Get out those tin foil hats folks, the North Dakota A.G. is out to get NDSU because he is a graduate of North Dakota.
Jaeger was born in Beulah, ND in 1943. Raised in Beulah, he graduated from its high school in 1961. He attended Bismarck State College and in 1963 earned an Associate of Arts degree. In 1966, he received a Bachelor of Science degree from Dickinson State University majoring in Business Education with a minor in Speech. He also completed post-graduate work at the University of North Dakota
Lastly, you would have to be a complete imbecil to think that the Attorney General of the great state of North Dakota Wayne Stenehjem and Secretary of the State of North Dakota Al Jaeger would conspire against NDSU just because they went to UND?

Ex-North Dakota State football player pleads guilty in ND theft ring
This is for the people that haven't seen this. It will be interesting to see how the NDSU Bison fans over on Belligerentville spin this. Crickets chirping...
A second former North Dakota State football player has pleaded guilty to felony theft in connection with a theft ring at a Best Buy store in Fargo.
Garrett Johnson was sentenced Monday to the two days he had already served in jail, 50 hours of community service, 18 months of supervised probation and a $500 fee.
In June, former player Greg Reid Jr. pleaded guilty to theft and was given a suspended jail sentence and probation.
Twelve people are charged in the case, which authorities say involves as much as $150,000 in merchandise taken from the store between last September and February.
Johnson, a defensive end from Chaska, Minn., and Reid, a defensive tackle from Milwaukee, Wis., were dismissed from the team in April. [Grand Forks Herald]

A Novel
Bernard Cornwell, the "master of martial fiction" (Booklist), brings Thomas of Hookton from the popular Grail Quest series into a new adventure in 1356, a thrilling stand-alone novel. On September 19, 1356, a heavily outnumbered English army faced off against the French in the historic Battle of Poitiers. In 1356, Cornwell resurrects this dramatic and bloody struggle—one that would turn out to be the most decisive and improbable victory of the Hundred Years' War, a clash where the underdog English not only the captured the strategic site of Poitiers, but the French King John II as well. In the vein of Cornwell's bestselling Agincourt, 1356 is an action-packed story of danger and conquest, rich with military strategy and remarkable characters—both villainous and heroic—transporting readers to the front lines of war while painting a vivid picture of courage, treachery, and combat.less

text: Hey guys ive been looking at 3/4 ton hd trucks now for a few weeks, and I came across a few different things that ive got a few questions about. Every truck that I have seen on the badge says 2500hd. But I came across one last night that the badge had said just 2500 no hd after it. So is what im questioning about is if there is a difference in things it can and cant do? Im going to call the dealer tomorrow when there open and ask a few questions about it. But I figured that I would see if anyone knows what im even talking about or would know the differences between just what the badge reads. Thanks

Fremantle Dockers again mocked by The Geelong Advertiser ahead of finals clash
- From: PerthNow
- September 05, 2013
THINGS have gone up another notch in the Cats / Dockers rivalry, with The Geelong Advertiser urging fans to 'Mock a Docker'.
Fremantle fans – it's time to hit back.
The Victorian paper yesterday produced a detailed graphic explaining why the Dockers were "ripe for mocking" ahead of Saturday's qualifying final between the Cats and Fremantle at Simonds Stadium.
"It's a club so steeped in history it has changed its training ground, song, and guernsey all within 20 years in the AFL," it reads.
"Weighed down to the bottom by its anchor, there has been no smooth sailing for the Fremantle Dockers."
The graphic then goes on to take cracks at the Dockers' lack of finals success, fans, club song and mascot.
But what The Geelong Advertiser fails to mention is the significant influence WA has exerted on the Cats.
The player many believe to be Geelong's best-ever – Graham 'Polly' Farmer – is a West Aussie. The Cats' chief executive, Brian Cook, enjoyed a decade of success with the West Coast Eagles before crossing to Geelong to help the club end a 44-year premiership drought.
And the man responsible for writing the Cats' club song was none other than East Perth legend John K Watts.
The Geelong Advertiser's graphic follows on from its front page earlier in the week, offering a box of tissues to those complaining about the AFL's decision to host the final at Simonds Stadium.
Freo fans – it's time to whack a Cat. We're giving you a right of reply.
How do you feel about the Cats? Use the comment box below to mock a moggy.

No song for Geelong. The brat cat Stevie J shown how to play. No time for Geelong to mock as they lick their mascots hair balls and over come the shock. Like to see some other advertiser stories. Like how the rest of aus props up their decaying economy..... Feel sorry for that regions last 12 months, perhaps that's why their paper felt the need to pick on, what they had considered, an easy target.

They can have their box of tissues now! Beaten at their own grown by this team they're told to mock! Haha.. Mocking a 19 yr old team.... Weak.

moreMaftu was afraid of the sea. It had taken his mother when he was a baby, and it seemed to him that the sea gods sought vengeance at having been cheated of Mafatu. So, though he was the son of the Great Chief of Hikueru, a race of Polynesians who worshipped courage, and he was named Stout Heart, he feared and avoided tha sea, till everyone branded him a coward. When he could no longer bear their taunts and jibes, he determined to conquer that fear or be conquered-- so he went off in his canoe, alone except for his little dog and pet albatross. A storm gave him his first challenge. Then days on a desert island found him resourceful beyond his own expectation. This is the story of how his courage grew and how he finally returned home. This is a legend. It happened many years ago, but even today the people of Hikueru sing this story and tell it over their evening fires. less

Easy to put together and as helped my back a lot
Easy to put together - I just needed a coworker to help me lift the main stand twice to assemble then move it into place, otherwise I was able to assemble myself after back surgery with weight restrictions. I've looked at other sit/stand equipment, and this was the easiest to adapt to my existing work environment. I definitely recommend standing as much as you can. But make sure you rest your arms - if you're not used to it, your shoulders may get sore for a bit if you're used to arm rests and sitting.

The opening of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals will mark the start of another chapter in the Philadelphia Flyers and Buffalo Sabres playoff rivalry that dates back to 1975.
The Flyers lead the Sabres with five series victories in eight attempts, but the Sabres have won the last two matchups–2001 and 2006.
While the Flyers should have a definite edge with their second seed, they struggled to close out the season, winning just seven of their final 20 games. The Sabres, on the other hand, went on an impressive 16-4-4 hot streak to make the playoffs.
The teams matchup reasonably well–the Flyers' forwards are deep and talented, their defensemen are big and physical and their goaltending is a question mark. The Sabres' forwards are small and fast, their defensemen are underrated and their goaltending is spectacular.
So what's going to happen?

Light Sleeper?
Andrew Wamsley's defense rested about an hour ago at his murder trial in Fort Worth. (For those too busy to click the link, Wamsley's accused of shooting and stabbing his parents shortly before Christmas in 2003, so he could collect their $1.65 million estate. Chelsea Richardon has been convicted of capital murder for her role in the crime and sentenced to death; her best friend, Susana Toledano, confessed and testified against Chelsea and Andrew, in exchange for a life sentence.) As far as I can tell, Wamsley's defense team called a grand total of six witnesses. They'll be relying heavily on the testimony of Celia Richardson, Chelsea's mother, who provided a watery alibi for Wamsley on December 11, 2003.
Celia was working two jobs at the time: for the federal government in the General Services Administration and as a checker at the local Brookshire's grocery store. She was also taking a Wednesday-night accounting class, hoping to get a promotion at the GSA.
Celia testified yesterday that after she finished her accounting final on December 10, 2003, she got home around 8 p.m. and went to bed at 12:30 a.m. At the time, Andrew was staying at the Richardsons' home, to be with his girlfriend Chelsea. The Wamsleys were murdered around 3:23 a.m. Celia claims she never awoke to hear Wamsley's car leave or return that night, and she never heard their creaky front door open or close. When she awoke around 6:45 a.m. to get ready for work, she says Chelsea was asleep in the living room. She "thought [she] saw another body" that could have been Andrew, but she's not sure now. The defense will have to hope beyond hope that the jury believes Celia is in fact a light sleeper and would have heard Andrew leave the house to kill his folks.
Closing arguments are scheduled for 1 p.m. today, then the jury's off to deliberate. —Andrea Grimes

Sun Wines
May 27, 2014 | No Comments
Designed by mousegraphics | Country: Greece
"The briefing (in brief): We produce a good organic wine that we want to place in a highly competitive market via a strong packaging design idea.
The target consumer: Design conscious consumers ready to try a cared-for product.
The design: One of the most creative and difficult areas of packaging design is probably this of wine. In the case of Sun wines, we focused on the wine color and the ways it corresponds to particular solar phases: the deep red of a setting sun, the gold white of its mid day radiance, the pinkish rose of the early rising star. We designed the abstract time sequence of these phases on each bottle, with a sign created specifically for each variety and placed near the rim of the bottle carrying this variety. The sun, solar light is one of the most elemental, eternal ingredients of wine alchemy. Its role cannot possibly be measured or even described, but its value can be commemorated and appreciated."
Penfolds Bin 170

"At a launch in London this month, Penfolds unveiled its Bin 170, specially released to commemorate the iconic winery's 170th anniversary. Priced at $1,800.00 per bottle, Bin 170 is the most expensive bottled wine ever released by Penfolds. Sourced from Penfolds Kalimna Vineyard in South Australia, Bin 170 has been made from exceptional parcels of the fruit usually reserved for Grange. Released once previously in 1973, a Bin 170 is a very rare release. Of the 2010 vintage, only 5,544 bottles have been produced, which means the wine will be greatly sought after by collectors."

"The distillery is based in the heartlands of Finnish Ostrobothnia. The first batch of the whisky won't be available until 2017, but an initial product called Juuri (Root) is already in production to be used in cocktails. More products will be developed and made in small batch style as the production evolves. The company also has clear-cut plans for entry into the international market, aiming boldly at global metropolises such as London, Berlin, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
This sort of brand evolution meant that the identity needed stand the test of time and changes: it had to be clean, fresh and easy to use still after a couple of years when the first whiskys are matured."
Matt's Brew

"Matt's Brew is just that—beer brewed by Matt Flores, a fellow Seattle-based designer. When he mentioned needing packaging for a CDA this winter, we started ideating and decided the beer should be a play on the notorious rain and darkness we experience here in the Pacific Northwest. From there, I chose to create a design and illustration that's somewhere between the classic WPA national parks posters and a New Yorker cartoon. This jaded snowman is dedicated to all the folks who spend their short daylight hours in grey and soggy concrete jungles."

"It's always great when a great product arrives at your desk and you have to name it, brand it and package it. That's what happened when this awesome belgian beer produced in Toledo, Spain arrived to our hands. Artisan Beer's Market has been terribly growing for the last year and we needed an eye-catching name and image to make it look different from its competitors when someone is about to order a beer in a bar. Barb & BIère (Beer in French) made the name and beards and different hair tones made the pack for the different varieties. All of it wrapped with a sense of artisan made, from the illustrations and the lettering to the printed materials' choice. "

"The two kinds of grape, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, that constitute this wine are grown in Villány, Remete-dűlő (remete – hermit, dűlő – hillside ). When choosing the cave-motif as the central icon of the design, I was trying to unfold the implication of this telling place-name, namely: the solace of a hermit. Then, this motif has been mixed with the Omega-sign, commonly known as the symbol of the beginning and end of all things. Another central motif of the label derives from a good observation of the wine itself: when serving genuine red wine, a so called glicerine-ring appears on the rim of the glass, creating a crown on the wine. Thus, my plan was based on this silver transition, referring to the high qualities of this wine."

"Nick came to us with his idea of creating authentic high-quality RTD frozen cocktails and challenged us with the task of identifying a positioning, naming and packaging design for the brand.
The current competitors in the market did not emulate the flavour and quality of hand mixed cocktails. We identified a brand positioning for Köld, which focussed on the idea of sophisticated urban cool and tapped into the trend for all things Scandinavian. This allowed the brand to be clearly differentiated from the competitors who mostly focussed on fun with fruity sweet cocktails. Köld targets those who enjoy authentic cocktails and want to be able to recreate this taste experience at home. Köld cocktails are sealed into individual serve pouches which are placed in the freezer and then squeezed into your glass and served KÖLD, a perfect cocktail guaranteed every time.
As it is a frozen cocktail, we wanted something clear, pure and unique. The snowflake gave us the opportunity to create something bold and iconic for impact at fixture, whilst allowing the flexibility for individual flavour communication."

The Who - Page 5
Rocker Says the Stones, the Who and Metallica 'Blew It'
We've all been disappointed by a late-period record by one of our favorite bands, and to one extent or another, we've all engaged in an endless debate over whether it's better to burn out or fade away. For Buzz Osborne of the Melvins, the answer is neither; creativity takes effort, and he expects great artists to keep trying.
48 Years Ago: Roger Daltrey Walks Out on the Who
The Who, 'Tommy: Super Deluxe Edition' – Album Review
As everyone was trying to one-up each other in the later part of the '60s -- hoping to keep up with 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' and what it spawned -- Pete Townshend looked forward by looking back. While his contemporaries had psychedelic visions spiraling within their heads, the main songwriter and guitarist for the Who had something else in mind for his band.
Roger Daltrey Gets Behind Keith Moon Biopic
It's long been trapped in development limbo, but it looks like a movie about the wild life and times of Who drummer Keith Moon might finally be heading for theaters -- with support and creative input from one of Moon's former bandmates, no less.
The Who Reveal Plans for 2015 Farewell Tour
Last week, Pete Townshend said that the Who would embark on one final tour in 2015. And apparently he means it this time. Sort of. Roger Daltrey recently clarified those plans, but confirmed that the group would indeed be performing its last batch of big shows in the near future.
40 Years Ago: The Who Release 'Quadrophenia'
The rock world got a pretty good taste of Pete Townshend's songwriting ambitions in 1969 with the Who's 'Tommy,' one of the more fully realized concept albums of the era. But as it turned out, Townshend was just getting warmed up.
The Who Reveal Details of Expanded 'Tommy' Box
Roger Daltrey Says Keith Moon Wouldn't Want to Be an 'Old Man'
Legendary Who drummer Keith Moon passed away more than 35 years ago, but he's still never far from Roger Daltrey's thoughts.
The Who Expand 'Tommy' With Box Set and Deluxe Edition
Rock's favorite deaf, dumb and blind kid is coming back with newly remastered sound and a whole bunch of bonus material.
John Entwistle's Car Headed for Auction
35 Years Ago: The Who Release 'Who Are You'
The final album by the Who's original lineup was a product of its time. Released three years after its predecessor, 'The Who by Numbers' (which indeed sounded like the band on autopilot at times), 1978's 'Who Are You' had a lot to contend with, like punk rock, electronics insurgence and perhaps most importantly, a songwriter who seemed to be growing out of his band.

Karoo National Park opens new rustic accommodation - Afsaal Cottage
Date: 2013-12-09
Bookings have opened for Karoo National Park's latest accommodation offering – the very rustic Afsaal Cottage, situated in the park's game viewing area.
The little stone building was once a shepherd's hut on a farm which has since been incorporated into the park, and which has undergone renovations and upgrades over the past few months. Situated approximately 33 kilometres from the main rest camp, the cottage is in the southern section of the park along the Nuweveld 4x4 route, and is accessible with a normal vehicle – but preferably with a 2x4 vehicle.
The unit can accommodate up to two adults and two children only. It is equipped with two single beds and mattresses, with bedding and towels. Two stretchers are provided for children. The unit is not serviced daily, but cleaned upon departure and before arrival.
Afsaal is equipped with solar power for the lights and a gas burner for food preparation, as well as an outside braai area, for which guests need to provide their own firewood. A small solar fridge/freezer is provided inside the unit and a shower with a gas geyser ensures that there is hot water available at all times.
As for a view - a waterhole in front of the unit allows for some game viewing from the porch, while the vast stretches of the Karoo landscape provides a scenic backdrop. A spotlight is in place to illuminate the waterhole at night.
Staying over at the Afsaal Cottage gives visitors an early start to the game viewing area and the possibility of seeing some of the more elusive game species. Normal gate hours are applicable and Park Management depends on the honesty and integrity of its clients to abide by the park rules.
Prospective visitors should note that there is no cell phone reception at the cottage due to its location in the park.
The base rate tariff of one to two people is R690 per night. Additional children will cost an additional R100 per child. Bookings can only be made through the Park's Reception, on (023) 415 2828.
The Karoo landscape provides a scenic backdrop to the braai.
The interior is equipped with two single beds for adults, with two stretchers for additional children.
What used to be an old shepherd's hut now provides rustic accommodation inside the park's game viewing area.

The world of Sosaria is finally at peace. With the three greatest threats to their world — Mondain, Minax, and Exodus — destroyed, the people can now rebuild. Over time, Lord British would slowly unify the world under his banner, leading to the creation of Brittania. While the world was still enjoying peace years after the great conflicts had ended, Lord British felt that the people were in danger. He knew the people of Brittania were lacking focus and direction on how to live and act in a world of peace. Many were going astray and ignoring the virtues, which would only lead to hardships later on. So, he called forth an individual to set an example for how the people of Brittania should live. This person would be tasked with learning and practicing the eight virtues and their three principles (Love, Courage, and Truth) in order to read the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom. Once that knowledge has been gained, he can enlighten the people and lead them to a promising future.
Now get lost!
- That's an unusual setup. What kind of game is this? -
Although Ultima IV can be called a turn-based role-playing game, that doesn't say much about it. At least not anymore. The genre has become so expansive that only a few standard details could be gleaned from that description. So, it's important that I describe what Ultima IV is. In the simplest of terms, Ultima IV is a traditional, fantasy-themed rpg. There is a large and expansive world to be explored, populated with plenty of first-person dungeons to descend and strategic battles to be fought. You will also find towns and kingdoms to visit for information, shopping, and game saving services. If you've played the older Dragon Quests or the original Final Fantasy (which were influenced by Ultima), you have a good idea of what to expect.
The original Ultima provided an excellent framework for epic adventures, and Ultima IV is no exception. Even though I am covering the NES verion, which is a simplified port of the PC version (which was released in 1985), its grandeur is still intact. At the start of Ultima IV, you must create your avatar by answering a series of questions relating to the eight virtues. As you choose among them, you discard them until you are left with two choices. The one you pick will determine your character's class and their starting kingdom. From there you will embark on a complex, intricate, and completely non-linear adventure. Everything within the game world has a purpose and meaning, from the battles you fight to the people you talk to. It can be overwhelming at first, because progress is left to your discretion. All the player knows is that they have to find the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom, and its up to them to forge their own path.
Welcome to Brittania
- How does the player do that? -
The most important action to take is to learn about the world. Ultima IV is a long and complex game, and the more you know the better suited you are for competing the quest. There is a town and shrine dedicated to each virtue (honesty, valor, compassion, sacrifice, honor, justice, spirituality, and humility) where the player can learn how to practice them. Unfortunately, the shrines are closed to those who do not possess a rune of virtue. Without access to these shrines the player can never reach avatarhood, or learn the direct path to practicing the virtues. So, discovering the locations of the eight runes is another important quest.
As for practicing the virtues, there's quite a bit of trial and error involved. Take for instance the virtue of honesty. As you talk to various people, they will inform you of its traits. From them you will learn that one must never lie, cheat, or steal. Over the course of the game, you will be presented with many opportunities to practice this virtue through battling temptation. The game will test your honesty either through questions, unguarded money chests, or by blind shopkeepers. Avoiding chests you have no permission to open will keep your virtue intact, while honestly answering questions and properly paying the shopkeeper will raise it. But, if you succumb to any of them, you will lose your progress towards that virtue (which can be disastrous if you've already reached avatarhood). At that point, you would need to start the process again.
Another main quest, that is run in parallel to the others, is to find the eight stones of virtue. These colored stones are required to obtain the three keys of Love, Courage, and Truth which will open the Codex. Of course, finding the location of the Codex is another long-running quest, with its own set of items needed to open the way. In short, the avatar (and the player) has their work cut out for them.
Hawkwind's knowledge is indispensable
- What's the battle system like? -
Ultima IV's battle system is quite flexible and will change depending on how you choose to play the game. The first change depends on when you decide to level up. When you have enough experience, you must visit Lord British at his castle to gain your new level. Once that happens, the types and quantities of enemies you face will increase. Also, as you find and enlist extra adventureres (up to a maximum of four in the NES version), the more enemies you will fight per battle. That said, it's entirely possible to complete this game with just the avatar (which is how I played). It might even be easier that way, too, because you spend less time in battle and less time gathering gold to buy equipment.
As for how battles play out, allow me to explain. First of all, there are no random battles in Ultima IV. They simply start after a set amount of time has expired, and can begin if you are moving or not. From there, you are placed in one of several predetermined spots on the battlefield and your turn begins. During your turn you can either move, perform a ranged or melee attack, cast a spell, or use an item. You can use the terrain to your advantage, either bottlenecking enemy groups or leading them over damage tiles. It's fairly basic, although the spell system requires further explanation. Even though you might have the necessary magic points to cast a spell in Ultima IV, nothing will happen if you don't have reagents. Every spell in the game requires them on top of the mp cost, and they must be purchased from shops or found on the overworld if they are not sold.
Ranged attacks are your friend
- Were there any other details worth mentioning? -
There are several details I need to address. The first pertains to Ultima IV's pacing on the NES. Simply put, it is glacial. Animations and movements play out in slow motion and it can take quite some time to get around the overworld and to finish battles. It's not too bad, though, thanks to the blink spell. This handy little spell will allow you to exit any battle that isn't mandatory, effectively cutting battles out of the majority of the game (unless you need gold, that is). Still, I've become spoiled by the pacing of modern games (like Dragon Quest IX), and there were times where Ultima IV's speed made me listless.
The second detail I wanted to bring up is how you learn new spells. The system is quite simple really. All you have to do is remember what reagents are needed to cast the spell. As you travel around the world and talk to people, they will either tell you a complete spell or a fragment. You can then take that information to the spell shop where they will write it into your spellbook. Now, the reason I'm mentioning this is because this attitude permeates the entirety of Ultima IV. Whether it comes in the form of mapping dungeons or writing down what townspeople say, this game wants you to keep notes. Everything is important, and it's a good idea to have everything available to you when you need it. That said, I was fortunate that the game's manual was still available. It contains a dearth of valuable information and the game would have been far more difficult without it.
The third detail pertains to the game's story, or lack thereof. Outside of what you learn from the manual and game characters, the game's story is very light. And I'm perfectly fine with that. I've greatly enjoyed those games that give you one major quest and leave you to your business. My journey through Brittania was the story, which was epic enough without the need of a set narrative. Additionally, I didn't have to worry about having areas closed off to me because of a story-based event, or being forced into a particular area to move the game forward. So, if a structured story is important to you Ultima IV might be difficult to play.
Finally, there's the game's sound and visuals. I found Ultima IV's soundtrack to be less complex and less enjoyable than the one that was done for the NES version of Ultima III. While there are a few interesting pieces, like the title and castle theme, the rest of the soundtrack is far from memorable and each track is incredibly short in length. On the visual front, the game reminded me of Final Fantasy in both character design and coloring. I would have preferred that they kept the distinct style from Ultima III, instead of looking to other series for inspiration.
Don't forget it!
- What are your final thoughts on Ultima IV? -
I would say that Ultima IV is my ideal role-playing game despite its pacing issues. The quest is long and interesting, the puzzles and dungeons are tough, and the combat is flexible and balanced. Ultima IV even offers some personal enrichment, as it pushes players to dwell on the purpose and meaning of the virtues. After I have take all of that into consideration, I cannot recommend this game highly enough. If you are looking for a challenging rpg and are capable of looking past the game's age, there is a grand and captivating adventure waiting for you in the world Brittania.

DEHS will assist departments in developing programs to handle those risks. When insurance becomes necessary, DEHS secures all commercial insurance coverage through the University of Texas - System. If necessary, accounting documents are processed and charged to the appropriate budget.

IMD expects normal south-west monsoon this year: Pawar
By PTI - NEW DELHI
Published: 18th April 2013 06:41 PM
Last Updated: 18th April 2013 06:41 PM
The Met Department is expecting a normal south-west monsoon this year which augurs well for the country's agriculture sector and economy as a whole.
"IMD (India Meteorological Department) is expecting a normal monsoon as on today. But it (IMD) prefers to wait till the first week of May for the correct picture," Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said after a meeting with the IMD officials here.
He said all four different weather models from different countries show normal monsoon for India.
The first monsoon forecast for the June-September period of this year will be officially released on April 26, IMD Chief L S Rathore said.
South-west monsoon begins from June, when sowing of Kharif (summer) crops like paddy are undertaken.
Yesterday, private firm Skymet had projected south-west monsoon to be adequate and well distributed.
Sufficient rainfall is required in Maharasthra, Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan this year as these states are reeling under drought. The situation is alarming especially in Maharasthra, where drinking water and fodder availability is insufficient.
Noting that Maharasthra situation is really bad, Agriculture Secretary Ashish Bahuguna had yesterday said: "Area under sugarcane in Maharasthra is obviously going to be down. Cane area is mainly irrigated. Dams in some parts of the state are dry and sowing will depend on monsoon."
On monsoon, Bahuguna had said: "Weather plays a role but over time we have become slightly resilient to weather.
So, I am not overly worried about bad weather (monsoon)."
Monsoon rains are crucial for the agriculture sector, which contributes about 15 per cent to the country's GDP, as only 40 per cent of the total cultivable area is under irrigation.

Surprises are the most exciting, most anticipated element of the NFL draft.
We all know that Andrew Luck is going first overall to the Colts and Robert Griffin III second to the Redskins. But after that it's anybody's guess.
Even in the early portion of the first round, there will no doubt be some kind of shocker that no one saw coming, via a trade, a reach or just a team taking a position that seems like they don't need.
But those surprises affect more than just the team or teams involved. They affect every team throughout the remainder of the draft as well, sometimes for the good, sometimes for the better.
Say the Browns pass on Trent Richardson at No. 4: that means a team down the line can take the Alabama star. Or if the Jaguars or Seahawks pass on Michael Floyd, then the Bills can land him.
One for each team, here are circumstances that every GM, head coach and fan would like to see play out.
