Last month a team of Japanese researchers announced that they had recorded live footage for the first time of a giant squid in its natural habitat, and today that footage has been released! Click here and scroll down for the video!
The researchers dove down to the watery, nightmarish depths of the Pacific in a cramped three-man submarine and lured the squid into the open with bait. The team then pursued the squid for about 270 meters, capturing footage of the (relatively small) three meter squid as it lazily cruised along. Museum researcher Tsunemi Kubodera described the giant squid as "shining and beautiful." Yours truly described the giant squid as "a Lovecraftian nightmare, but probably okay with some olive oil and garlic."
The expedition was partly funded by The Discovery Channel, and a documentary about the researchers' findings will air January 27. In the meantime we'll be doing our best to continue our excellent track record of 'Not Going In the Ocean'.

De Villiers and German co-driver Dirk von Zitzewitz finished third overall in the cars category in the gruelling two-week race which ended on Sunday.
Having prepared the Toyota Hilux vehicles in accordance with stricter rules, which come into effect in 2013, De Villiers believed the South Africans had a head start.
"Our aim was to crack the top five, since we knew we were at a disadvantage with regard to the Minis," he said.
"Our car was designed based on the future rules, so we had a power deficit compared with them, especially on sandy surfaces.
"But our car was completely reliable and our team did a fantastic job."
De Villiers finished more than an hour behind French winner Stephane Peterhansel and 41 minutes behind Spaniard Nani Roma, who placed second.
The South African, who won the race in 2009, said he and his new team would put up a stronger challenge in next year's race.
"This is an excellent result, finishing on the podium on our first try tastes like a win," De Villiers said.
"The rules are going to change next year, so we'll be even closer and the battle will be awesome. There's no doubt we'll try and win next year."
The all-South African pairing of Duncan Vos and Robert Howie added depth to the team's performance, finishing 11th overall.
Further back, the other South African duo of Mark Corbett, on debut, and co-driver Francois Jordaan managed to hold their own, completing the race in 24th position in their Century Racing CR4.
The only other South African driver in the cars division, veteran Alfie Cox, bombed out early in the race after his Volvo XC60RR burned to ashes in the first stage.
Darryl Curtis led the South African charge in the bikes category, storming through the field in the second half of the race to finish 22nd on a KTM 450 Replica.
Countryman Greg Raaf, a member of the same KTM team, also put in a relatively strong finish, but struggled to close the gap as he trailed home in 83rd place.
Neil Scott-Williams and Iain Stevenson, the only other South African riders who started the race, withdrew on stages seven and five respectively.
Charles Rossouw, sharing a vehicle with French driver Philippe Premat and fellow co-pilot Arnaud Missagia, was the only South African representative in the trucks category.
Rossouw and his teammates finished 49th in their Actros 6x6 Mercedes.
The race was held over 8 400km between Mar Del Plata, Argentina, and Lima, Peru.
It will be staged in South America for the fifth successive time in 2013 after security threats in West Africa forced organisers to move the race in 2009.

While specific techniques can be re-assuring in the training room, they are often not remembered or applied correctly in the crisis. Because no two violent emergencies are exactly alike, it is not possible to create a single technique to ensure safety. There is no one right answer.
Because of this, Pro-ACT provides a framework of principles that guide critical thinking and establish parameters within which to exercise professional judgment. The framework, which is based upon the premise that employees who have developed a systematic approach to intervention during incidents of potential assault are less likely to injure or be injured than those who have not, incorporates professionalism, preparation, assessment, and crisis communication as well as the following.
Pro-ACT presents an approach rather than an array of "techniques." Principles that address a clients needs, rather than specific interventions, are emphasized.
Pro-ACT® does not attempt to provide "answers" to employees responding to dangerous behaviors. The primary purpose of the workshop is to help trainees ask the right questions, so they can solve problems for themselves.
Emergency Response
Pro-ACT methods are not legitimate substitutes for individual intervention plans. Pro-ACT assumes that there is a reasonable plan in place for each person receiving services, which anticipates problematic situations. Pro-ACT principles are intended to augment these reasonable plans.
Individual Differences
Pro-ACT is designed to build confidence in professionals, regardless of individual abilities, limitations, or gender. The course is designed to provide adequate thinking and movement skills to enable women and men of various strengths and abilities to remain safe in the workplace. It is further assumed that individuals receiving services will be less anxious and more secure when they also believe that everyone working with them is able to work in a competent and safe manner.
Pro-ACT emphasizes team skills, not individual skills. It is our experience that "heroes" tend to get themselves in trouble. Frankly, one-on-one techniques are often disastrous. The Pro-ACT workshop is designed to mirror the teamwork experience.
Pro-ACT training enhances personal safety within the context of individual rights. Having a disability that sometimes manifests itself in assaultive behavior does not automatically deprive an individual of her or his rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Equally, the rights of individuals with disabilities should at no time deprive employees of their rights.

21st Century Dinosaurs from Hell….Creek!
The Hell Creek Formation (Late Cretaceous) consists a productive succession of sediments that contain the fossil remains of dinosaurs and their contemporary fauna/flora. A recently discovered multi-taxa site in South Dakota is yielding vertebrate (dinosaur, bird, mammal, fish, crocodilian and turtle) and invertebrate material (arthropod cuticle, feeding traces, etc.) and a diverse flora (including seeds, leaves and amber), and is knee-deep in dinosaurs! The traditional approach to excavating such sites often overlooks key chemical information that is present in both enclosing sediments and fossil remains. The easily comprehended physical fossil often takes precedent over the less visible 'chemical fossil'. However, it is the latter that might hold the key to the reason behind the organism being fossilised in the first instance.
The application of synchrotron-based analyses at SSRL have already proven very successful when distilling crucial information that allows interpretation of the burial history (taphonomy) of fossils; including iconic fossils such as Archaeopteryx, Confuciusornis and the mummified skin from a hadrosaur dinosaur. This is where the worlds of particle physics and palaeontology meet…this might sound a little crazy, but the realities are scientifically and aesthetically beautiful!

How do you know Obama's gay marriage declaration was for political purposes only?
Disclaimer – this post isn't about whether or not you support gay marriage. I don't care. The post is to discuss the politics of the declaration by President Obama and to make a point. If you want to rant about the pros or cons of gay marriage, go somewhere else.
That said, how do you know it was done explicitly for political purposes?
Timing for one. The word was out that big donors who happened to be gay were withholding big bucks. Declare. Problem solved.
Additionally – and this is no surprise – the bonus of declaring not only freed up that money (which apparently isn't as easy to raise this time around) but it offered another distraction from the economy, the debt and the dismal Obama record. Every day that the economy, debt and the rest of his record isn't being discussed is a good day for Obama.
But here's the real reason you know it was all for political gain and he plans to do absolutely nothing about it in reality:
Strange, too, that Obama declared gay marriage a civil right, but insisted it should be left to the states. His political allies are scratching their heads over that one — it's a civil right or it's not — but the media haven't pursued that incoherent angle either.
That's right, he declares it a "civil right" but then shunts it off to the states to "decide". Really? Obviously we can argue all day about whether or not it is a civil right, but that's irrelevant to the point here. He declared it a civil right.
And he also said that what we call 'civil rights' should be decided at the state level.
"No civil rights for you!"
Uh, okay.
George Wallace and Orville Faubus were within their rights as the heads of their states to deny blacks their "civil rights" if that's what the people of their state wanted?
We all know the answer to that.
So this is how our resident "Constitutional Scholar" makes some political hay without any intention of actually doing anything to back up his declaration (even while offering an incoherent reason that should be the talk of the media … uh, yeah, that'll happen).
As worthless a gesture as Syria signing the UN's "Universal Declaration of Human Rights".
But politically, it's worth big dollars just when he needs big dollars.

Classic Alinsky. Cover all sides of an issue by declaration…contradiction is GOOD. It FOSTERS confusion, and allows Pres. Dog Breath to pwn the donors who heard their particular pitch on the dog whistle.
(See how I worked "dog" into that…?)
To say that Obama "evolved" is racist
How do you know Obama's gay marriage declaration was for political purposes only?
That's easy. Obama said it. Thus, it was said for political advantage.
Any more questions?
Course it's political, and not just political, intended to work with other things they had in the pipeline. Joe got ahead of himself on what probably HAD been discussed, and being fresh on what limited mind he has, he blurted it out well ahead of schedule leaving Obama and their planned attacks on Romney in a pickle.
Look at the timing – The Post's Gay Bullying story, right AFTER the declaration? Really? I mean, obviously they were putting that story together for a while, you don't just dig that up and roll with it in 2 days, the guy who the story claimed spent his life regretting the anti-gay hair cutting, who then claimed he'd never even heard of it until a couple weeks/months (we'll use Holder time here….) FROM the Post reporter indicates THAT was in the works. So, this was intended to go off later, and the White House village idiot let it loose too soon. And Obama, figuring he could get away with it, as he ALWAYS has before, ran with it.
Tell me it didn't work to shake the money loose. But it's NOT so good in other areas, and I'm betting they counted on the bullying gays narrative to have gotten enough traction by the planned time to discourage people to boldly come out against what Obama said.
Now, I think they miscalculated on THAT all along, but I do think they figured it would be something people would hesitate to do since it makes you, sort of, a 'racist' if you don't believe in same sex marriage, AND you say so.
He had to go with this, and he wasn't ready for any executive mandates to go into place, but he HAD to respond because the same sex base was suddenly in a furor thanks to Joe.
How do you know Obama's gay marriage declaration was for political purposes only?
Because nothing has changed, except the "wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean .. say no more" is gone.
How do I know? Because he doesn't do anything without a political motive ?
The media did do something about it. The Washington Post ran a hit piece on Romney that maybe he bullied a kid maybe because he was gay and that one of the guys regrets that he took part in it all this time or at least until the Post reminded him of it a few weeks ago.
Case closed.
It *probably* followed along this pathway:
The gay mafia and the major gay advocacy groups had given it up for Obama in '08 and have awaited the major paybacks: they got the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell and they got Holder and the Justice Department doing nothing to defend the Defense of Marriage Act. They also got the usual sympathetic gay appointments and gay friendly this and that. The trinkets of power.
Then came the marriage referendum in North Carolina, and the mafia et al. were pumping a lot of money in there, but they probably knew two-three weeks out that they were going to get clobbered. They were angry, as they always are, but they turned the anger on Obama. They wanted something that would blunt the big loss in North Carolina. They were probably also starting to worry that the whisper to "wait until he is re-elected" meant that all the money would be for nothing because his numbers suggested that he could very well lose. They demanded action.
Obama sent out Arne Duncan and Joe Biden to test the waters and things looked pretty clear, so after the North Carolina measure passed, Obama came out and blunted the effect by saying he supported "gay marriage" and that made everything wonderful again.
But I think it was the one real true mistake he has made (not counting the health care thing which he knew would hurt him but was too important to gaining more power over Americans to let it fail). It crossed through the national political discourse at the wrong time, in the wrong way, and he looked bad. It was transparently cheesy and this time there was no "watch my hands" effect where people simply yawned and took the post-hypnotic suggestion.
The way November stands now is that uncommitted or voters who are only leaning one way or the other are now looking for reasons not to vote for Obama and reasons to vote for Romney. This is already and old election, five and a half months before it happens. We could know by Labor Day who is going to win. People are sick of politics. They're getting sick of Obama. I know the *one* way that the Democrats, who I have taken to calling the human sacrifice and sodomy cult, could make a big comeback between Labor Day and the election, but I'm not talking. (Remind me to tell you what it is after the election.)
Don't go all mysterious on us.
We all know the way. It's simple. They resurrect Ted Kennedy from the grave.
Any God who can bring back Ted Kennedy (and obviously then must like Democrats) is not to be messed with.
Wait, wait, wait….they didn't build the BIG DIG in Boston to be a massive tomb complex and bury him in some weird Democratic ritual with a bunch of beetles so that NOW the reason we're supporting the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt is because THEY have the Book of the Dead that will be needed to bring him back? Tell me that's not what this is.
Tell me it's something simpler like Pet Cemetery.
Now any google searches on Obama & gay will no longer give you anything about Larry Sinclair and his accusations. It will give you page after page of Obama and gay marriage. Obama being the 'first gay president', I assume was to be taken like Bill Clinton was the 'first Black president'. These things don't refute anything about those prior accusations but basically muddy the pool and provide a ambiguity and distraction about Obama himself.
Sinclair himself seem to lack credibility, but recently we found out obama's past girlfriend in his biography was a 'composite' (aka fake). Funny twist on that, they quickly found a woman who claimed to have a relationship with Obama helping to fill an unusual void allowed by the media in Obama's personal history. She is treated like they discovered Bigfoot.
This former girlfriend it seems is white. Then I wondered if the void is because Obama has a string of white girlfriends in his history. This would be damaging to his base. The 'white benefactor' racists of the Democrats could revert back to the their suppressive racist klan roots, but I think that would be a small effect. The real damage would be among Black women. They wouldn't end their support, but the fire would be gone in a hurry.
So these stories just dilute the issue and doesn't eliminate it making it less likely to get to the root of either explanation for this apparent, rarely permitted by the media, void in Obama's personal history.
Who would have thought that Barack Obama would go all out to be the "Rick Santorium" of the Left.
They told us that you couldn't run on social issues, but I guess when your economic and foreign policy portfolio looks as bad as this Administration's, you are willing to try anything. To call Obama a "clusterfuck" would be a disservice to true "clusterfucks" out there.
Does it surprise any of you that any action does not have some political purpose in the political season? If so, you're very naive.
With Pres. Dog Breath…??? NO, indeed. One would be naive to think it was something BESIDES crass, cynical politics.
So, when is it NOT a political season? Has Obama had one of those? Mr Started running on Inauguration day.
Well, now, mostly off topic but….is this a pretty doggy skin to wrap a Kenyan Baby in?
Guess they was lying in his 1991 bio cover huh?
Does make one to wonder dun it?
Yahbut…. He did not inhale…er…read. Like he never listened to those Rev. Wright tapes he bought and put in his car…
Never mind that book title…
Eh, just more confirmation of what I already knew, he's not just a narcissist, he's a habitual liar too.
Take it from me…they are part of a piece.

Linoma Unveils Browser-Based Data Transfer Tool
Published: April 8, 2008
by Alex Woodie
Linoma Software recently launched a new data transfer tool called GoAnywhere that allows users to move data among all major server platforms, including i (formerly i5/OS and OS/400), Windows, Linux, and Unix, from the comfort of a Web browser. The new product replaces Linoma's Transfer Anywhere tool, and supports the transformation, translation, distribution, synchronization, encryption, and compression of data, among other features.
GoAnywhere offers an impressive roster of data movement and manipulation capabilities. These include support for multiple data transfer mechanisms (FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, and JDBC), support for multiple encryption methods (Open PGP, SSL, AES), support for multiple compression methods (ZIP and GZIP), and support for databases (DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and Informix).
Linoma previously offered a tool, called Transfer Anywhere, that offered many of the same capabilities. However, the new GoAnywhere tool brings several advantages over Transfer Anywhere, which was written in Java and debuted in 2002. For starters, the GoAnywhere engine can be installed on all supported platforms, instead of just i5/OS and Windows, as Transfer Anywhere supported. It also features a Web browser interface built with AJAX-style techniques, instead of a thick-client Windows and 5250 green-screen interfaces. Better reporting, support for XML importing, and a new job scheduler are also improvements GoAnywhere features over its older sibling.
GoAnywhere users are greeted with this dashboard when they log in to the product.
On the job-scheduling front, GoAnywhere contains a feature called "projects" that automates the execution of data distribution and manipulation tasks performed by the tool. For example, a project could be created to first retrieve data from a database server, then convert the data into an Excel document, then encrypt the document, and finally distribute the encrypted document to an FTP server. These projects definitions are designed in a graphical wizard and stored in a database server, where they can be called and put into motion by authorized users and applications.
Linoma is a strong supporter of the IBM i-based Power System (formerly System i, i5, iSeries, and AS/400), so it's no wonder that the company delivered special hooks into this special platform. GoAnywhere can call i (formerly i5/OS and OS/400) programs and commands, and pass constant values or project variables into the parameters, the company says. Support for calling commands and programs is also supported on Windows, Unix, and Linux operating systems.
Linoma initially launched GoAnywhere with version 1.0 in mid February, but held off with an official announcement until last week, when it shipped GoAnywhere version 1.5. Pricing starts at $3,495 for a P05 box. For more information, visit www.goanywheretoday.com.

ISLE OF MAN – British road racing team Splitlath Motorsports has confirmed that it will be contesting the 2014 Isle of Man TT Races fueled by Monster Energy with a unique all American line-up.
They will compete aboard the all new American made EBR1190RS from iconic manufacturer Erik Buell Racing.
This will be the first time that the EBR's have raced on the TT Mountain Course. Splitlath will field Americans Mark Miller and Brandon Cretu, both experienced TT riders. The decision to run the EBR 1190RS comes after a successful outing with both Miller and Cretu at the 2013 Macau Grand Prix where they finished 11th and 20th respectively. This represented a significant improvement for both riders in finishing positions and lap times compared to recent years, which proved the bikes pedigree to Splitlath Motorsports team owner John Dimbylow.
"We are all tremendously excited and proud to be running Erik's bikes at the TT this year, "said Dimbylow. "This will be the first time a US manufacturer has competed here adding to our successful debut at the Macau GP in 2013. Running any motorbike at the TT is hard, it shows up all sorts of things on the bikes that you just don't expect as no other race poses similar challenges, so running a completely new bike when no one else has is incredibly difficult, but people love Erik's bikes, his engineering brilliance, and his ability to 'dare to be different.' We are looking forward to solid performances from our U.S. riders and a foundation with which to build upon in subsequent campaigns."
Both Splitlath riders will race the Rotax-powered, V-twin, EBR1190RS in the Dainese Superbike, RL 360 Superstock, and PokerStars Senior TT races. The confidence inspiring chassis and high corner speed of the EBR's has the team aiming for good results and the riders shooting for personal bests. The team is also doubly excited to be promoting a brand new bike to the fans at the TT races.
This year will be Millers's fourth consecutive year riding for the Splitlath outfit on the island. Miller has become a formidable competitor since his debut in 2006 and also has the distinction of being the fastest American in the history of the event with a lap of 125.507 mph. He also won the 2010 TT Zero Race for clean emissions motorcycles.
Cretu will be Miller's teammate. He is looking to continue the success that the pair enjoyed at Macau. Cretu's has recorded a fastest lap of 117.8 mph around the TT course, which he achieved last year and is looking to significantly improve on that time in 2014.

WHITE PLAINS - There's now a new call for Westchester County legislators to take action and hold police accountable in the wake of several deadly police shootings.
Kenneth Chamberlain Jr., whose father was shot and killed by White Plains police in November 2011, spoke in front of the Westchester County Board yesterday. "It's not a New Rochelle, Yonkers, Mount Vernon or White Plains issue," he said. "It's a Westchester issue."
Chamberlain and others say they want to promote reform and are urging more training and more diversity within local police departments. "It's not an isolated incident. We have the killing of DJ Henry in Mount Pleasant, we have the killing of Samuel Cruz in New Rochelle, I think those are just the tip of the iceberg and point to the need for accountability," says Daniel Berger, of the Hudson Valley NYCLU.

The group also wants the county to create an intervention team designed to deal with people who suffer from mental health issues.

What happened after Raw?
Source: Sean Cohen & PWInsider
After Raw went off the air, each champion celebrated around the ring with their respective titles. Daniel Bryan stood on the guard rail while holding up the World Title. Zack Ryder stood in front of some people in the front row who had a nice Ryder sign. Then CM Punk stood on the announcer's table while holding the WWE Belt over his head. Afterwards, all three men walked up the ramp and then posed with their belts. Post Raw Dark Match:
John Cena beat Kane by DQ after Kane smashed Cena with a steel chair. After the match, Kane chokeslammed Cena and then walked up the ramp. Kane looked back at Cena and returned to the ring to attempt a Tombstone. Cena escaped and hits Kane with the A-Double to send the fans home happy.
After Kane left the ring, Cena grabs the mic and wishes the WWE Universe a Happy Holiday.

I needed somewhere to crash after cycling Lands End to John O'Groats...
My Girlfriend booked the Hotel room for me at short notice, as I needed a B&B for one night, before catching the 06:50 train to Inverness the following morning.
A room in an outside block, which was small, and didn't have WiFi (only for rooms in the main Hotel). I arrived at 20:40, and was informed dinner orders finished at 21:00, so I knew to get my skates on. All staff were very friendly and attentive. I ordered fish and chips and had a choice of the plaice grilled, battered or breaded, proper chips, salad or vegetables, at a good price. Huge piece of plaice, which tasted better than I have had in a long time. I asked the Bar Manager about booking an early taxi and he offered to drive me to the train station himself, which he duly did the following morning, which I thought was beyond normal service. The room was small, though fine for two people who would be out and about. Clean, warm, hot water, comfy bed, kettle, TV - perfect for me, and stupidly good value at £35, compared to what that would get you (or not) in and around London. Thank you Weigh Inn. Darren

The Temple-Congregation Shomer Emunim will dedicate its new Torah with a Siyyum Ceremony at 6 p.m. Friday.
Sofer Neil Yerman of New York City came to Sylvania in September to begin the Torah project for the Reform Jewish congregation.
On Friday, Mr. Yerman will work with congregation members to write the last words of the Torah, then open the scroll to the beginning and complete the first words that were outlined when the project began.
The Torah contains the first five books of Moses, and once the last of the 297,000 letters are completed, it will be placed in the synagogue s Ark.
Cantor Jennifer Roher said about 300 members of The Temple took part in the capital campaign, which included funding for the Torah scroll. After the Friday services, which will include a musical cantata, participants in the Torah project will attend a celebratory dinner.
The Temple is at 6453 West Sylvania Ave., Sylvania.

David Ash got the hook late in Texas' win over Kansas, but his body of work has allowed him to keep the Longhorns' starting quarterback gig, despite Case McCoy leading the Horns to a win over the Jayhawks.
"It was a staff discussion yesterday," Texas coach Mack Brown of the decision to name Ash the starter for Texas Tech. "David's body of work has been really good. He has played as one of the best quarterbacks in the country."
Ash failed to generate any significant offense for most of three quarters against a woeful Kansas team before he was pulled with 9:37 left in the fourth. McCoy, who split time as a starter in 2011 with Ash before losing the competition to start this season, orchestrated a come-from-behind 21-17 win with two scoring drives on Texas' last two possessions.
"He was prepared and ready," Brown said of McCoy.
Now Texas is poised and ready to play McCoy at any time.
"We would not hesitate to put Case in after Saturday for sure," Brown said.
No question, this is the right move for Texas. Ash looked like a new quarterback this season, and had a rough day against Kansas. His physical abilities still give him the chance to do things McCoy can't. He'd shown an ability to do it this season.
Texas put itself in a tough position by benching Ash, but one bad game and a handful of nice throws from McCoy isn't enough to change the course of the season at the position. If Ash struggles again, no question, McCoy deserves a shot quicker than he might have in the past.
As for the starting gig, it should still be Ash's.

Plow crews had to repeatedly hit the same stretches of road because of snow squalls that kept popping up and winds that blew snow back across cleared highways.
And tonight, ice was becoming more of a problem on roadways, according to police radio traffic.
Between 4 and 6 1/2 inches of snow fell today. Another 2 inches is expected by Sunday, along with a low near 10 degrees.
The record low of 8 degrees below on Jan. 27 might be broken on Monday, National Weather Service meteorologist Don Hughes said. A low of 13 below is forecast that evening, before rising to a "high" of zero on Tuesday.
The squalls that kept starting, stopping and then repeating required streets to be plowed and salted repeatedly, said Rick Tilton, Columbus' assistant public service director. Also, wind gusts of up to 35 mph would blow the dry fluffy snow back across a road that had just been cleared.
"I think the challenge of this storm is that it came so quickly and heavily, and with high winds," said Breanna Badanes, ODOT spokesman. "We struggled keeping up."
ODOT's 130 plows — 45 in Franklin County — are working 12-hour shifts.
By noon, many of the freeways and major roads appeared to have been untouched by plows. The result was treacherous driving: a seven-vehicle pileup closed a stretch of I-70 between Rt. 310 and Rt. 37 near Newark for more than four hours; and up to a dozen vehicles crashed just before 4 p.m. in the northbound lanes of I-270 near Tuttle Mall.
A pickup truck and sedan collided head-on on Rt. 23 near the Pike and Ross County border just before noon. The injuries didn't appear to be life-threatening, according to sheriff's deputies.
Two Hamilton County deputies helping a stalled driver on I-71 in Cincinnati were injured diving out of the way when another driver lost control and crashed into their patrol car.
The chemistry of snow removal also can be tricky.
"Salt is going to melt the snow, but that creates wet conditions," Badanes said. "It's a delicate balance of how much salt we put down versus plowing."
"Windy conditions are really making things miserable because the crews plow and the snow accumulated on the side will blow back over," said Josh Poland, a meteorologist with WBNS-TV (Channel 10). "It just seems like there's only so much you can do."
The effort to clear the roads is the same on weekends as during workweeks, said Rick Tilton, Columbus' assistant public service director. But the greater amount of traffic during the week can help. "Heat on the pavement from the underside of a larger number of cars and their exhaust and their tires working the salt into the snow," he said.
Columbus called in extra plows today; 64 were on the streets this evening.
Pike and Perry counties issued Level 2 snow emergencies, restricting travel to necessary trips.
Clark County issued a Level 1 emergency, which means that caution should be used when driving.
Up to 6 inches is expected in northeastern Ohio by early this morning, said Karen Clark said, a meteorologist at the weather service's Cleveland office

I'm from Canada too. I haven't lived in UAE really, but I'm just guessing that since they have so much money they won't throw coins at Canada, would they? Lol. They don't battle much because they rather make money. But it is common sense that, the one with the most power wins. And, someone told me the money is always the bigger power.

Yeah, which is why I just thought they'd probably buy out large businesses and build hotels and what not, and make profit for themselves.

One of my guilty pleasures is pinterest. It's where I go to unwind but I generally get wound up – in a good way. There are so many creative ideas for almost anything you can think of. Of course, anything decor related floats my boat and this post was no exception.
I have been thinking about window shades for my own kitchen and I have been undecided between bamboo or roman shades. After seeing this post, 1 point goes to roman shades. What do you think?

We are down to the nitty-gritty when it comes to the 2014 NFL draft. The air is filled with smokescreens, and the scuttlebutt in terms of which teams want what players is growing by the minute.
Whom are we to believe? That would be an impossible question to answer, and we won't attempt it. But that won't stop us from at least giving it the old college try (pun intended).
So here's your chance to get up to date on what is going on with your favorite team. We will do our best to find out the latest from the writers, reporters, bloggers and draftniks when it comes to the 32 clubs and the direction they could be headed in later this week.
We are not only including the number of selections for each team in this draft, but also the overall number of those picks. All compensatory selections, highlighted by an asterisk, cannot be traded.
So happy reading, but keep one thing in mind: The NFL brings new meaning to the word "fluid" when it comes to this annual event that has had our attention for the last four months. And it could be only a few minutes before some of this information becomes yesterday's news on the same day.

The following article of mine was published in our local newspaper at the time of Christopher Reeve's death. (I live less than a half hour west of where Reeve lived)
Keep Reeve's legacy alive
(Original publication: October 13, 2004)
To his legions of fans, throughout the world, Christopher Reeve was "Superman." But, before he shot to superstardom as the Man of Steel, I knew him on the small screen. I, along, with millions of daytime viewers, watched him perform on the CBS-TV soap opera "Love of Life," where he played Benno Harper. During the course of his storyline, Benno became, of all things, a bigamist. I knew, even then, that he had unique qualities that would serve him well during his career. After he left the mythical town of "Rosehill," he went on to the city of "Metropolis," and the rest, as they say, is history.
Nine years ago, when he suffered his accident, it would have been very easy for him to retreat to a private life, and concentrate his energies, solely, on the insurmountable odds that now confronted him. But, Christopher Reeve refused to give up. Indeed, it was his "love of life," his courage and tenacity that truly made him a real-life "Superman."
His death should not be in vain; stem-cell research should and must be allowed to continue. That is why I will be casting my vote for the only presidential candidate (John Kerry) who favors this key that will, someday, allow thousands to discard their wheelchairs and walk again.
May God bless Christopher Reeve; he will always be in my heart.

|LoL is one of those soaps I never got to watch, but fell in love with through old SOD synopses. I've got that 1975 ep that's floating around with Christopher Reeve on DVD and I love every minute of Tudi Wiggins' overly dramatic Meg and John Aniston's hysterical faux-Latin accent.
|Jan 5 2010, 10:06 PM Post #5
|Oh, I loved Tudi Wiggins' Meg! I think she may have been the snobbiest character I've ever seen on a soap (she may have even been worse than Iris Carrington). Yes, John Aniston's character on LoL was a far cry from Victor Kiriakis. Eduord (sp?) was supposed to be a playboy and just after Meg's money. I managed to catch bits and pieces of most of the soaps in the 70s. This one was aired around 11:30 a.m. which seems strange now!

Thanks for the thread and for posting the episodes Drew! She really was terrific as Meg! I never saw the original actress but Tudi was a sophisticated jet-setter who was still attracted to rotten and wealthy men! That era of LOVE OF LIFE really SHINED!

He used one on SFT, too! Everytime I watch that LoL ep (I have it on a DVD) or any of his eps from SFT that are online, I really have to try not to laugh because he sounds SO different.

I believe so since the Tourneurs were supposed to be from (I think) Louisianna. I don't know if it's still on youtube, but there was a full episode of SFT once featuring both Aniston as Martin and Maree Cheatham as Stephanie that was SO beautifully played. I could listen to Maree talk all day with that voice of hers.

|Zina Bethune, who played Barbara Latimer, on 'Love of Life,' was the victim of a tragic hit and run accident over the weekend. She was 66 years old.

Reality and Dreams: Seeing the Inner and the Outer
Fall 2015 and Winter 2016 quarters
Taught by
From the Old Testament to Sigmund Freud, from August Kekulé's vision of the ouroboros to Salvador Dali's melting clocks, dreams have been an integral part of both an individual's well-being and the creative spirit. Dreams have manifested themselves as clues to personal problems, solutions to stubborn intellectual conundrums, and even as works of art. What role do they play in our own inner and outer lives?
This two-quarter, interdisciplinary program will provide an opportunity for students who are interested in doing intensive work in the areas of dreams and photography to cultivate awareness of the interplay of inner and outer experience through challenging readings, creative work, and self-reflection. We will examine our beliefs about the nature of reality as manifest in the expressive arts and physical reality from a variety of disciplinary viewpoints including photography, psychology, literature, and biology.
During fall quarter, we will study the basics of black-and-white photography as a means of learning how to see and appreciate the world around us. We'll also learn how we (and others throughout history) have used dreams to "see" our inner world. We'll use Greek literature to examine the emotional and behavioral interactions that we call "love" and try to understand the concept of "light" from both a physical and philosophical perspective. During winter quarter, we'll continue and deepen our study and use of photography and dreams and include a study of relevant topics in biology such as neuroplasticity, epigenetics, and the physiology of the eye. We'll also examine alternative areas of research such as lucid dreaming and paranormal phenomena, as well as the approach of the Surrealists to examining the nature of reality through art and dreams. Students will have the opportunity to give a presentation to their peers using the skills learned during the two quarters.
This is an experiential and rigorous full-time program in which students will be expected to participate in all program activities and document 48 hours of program-related work per week.

Kobe Bryant and Nike basketball announced the release of three colorways for the Black Mamba's upcoming basketball shoe, the Kobe IX aka Kobe 9 sneakers. The three Kobe 9 colorways include:
The Kobe IX Inspiration, Kobe 9 Detail and Kobe 9 Perspective colorways.
The Kobe 9 Elite features three key technologies: Flyknit, Flywire and Lunarlon, giving the shoe superior lightweight performance.
Designer of the Kobe Bryant sneakers, designer Eric Avar's goal was to enhance the foot's natural movements while providing strength, durability and speed.
Kobe 9 Inspiration Sneaker Pics
Kobe IX Inspiration Basketball Shoes
Flyknit defies conventional shoe manufacturing processes by creating a one-piece engineered upper made from single strands of yarn. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, it comes to basketball for the first time in the Kobe 9 Elite. And due to manufacturing advancements made with Flyknit, the weight on the Kobe 9 Elite upper has been reduced by nearly 50% compared to traditional high-top basketball shoes.
Three new colors tell stories behind Kobe Bryant's inspirational muses including art, culture and Los Angeles.
Kobe 9 Inspiration Colorway
Kobe IX Inspire
Since first arriving to Los Angeles for his 1996 rookie season, Kobe Bryant has bled purple and gold. Five championships during his illustrious career in Los Angeles reflect his commitment. Bryant will wear the Kobe 9 Elite Inspiration colorway upon his return to the court.
Retail launch: March 1, 2014
Kobe 9 Perspective Basketball Shoes
Kobe 9 Perspective Colorway
The blue period was a three year-stretch (1901-1904) of artistic brilliance by the Spanish cubist painter, whose artwork during this time featured shades of blue and blue-green. Inspired by the Spanish master, Bryant brings a similar beauty to his game. This Spaniard showed versatility beyond painting with his sculpting, ceramics and printmaking and he serves as the guiding inspiration to this KOBE 9 Elite Perspective colorway.
Retail launch: March 8, 2014
Kobe 9 Detail Basketball Shoes
Kobe 9 Elite Detail Basketball Shoes
The Italian Renaissance artist who reigned supreme in the 1500's could be considered one of the greatest artists of all time. Known primarily for his life-like human sculptures, his work inspired art for centuries to follow. With similar Italian roots, for Kobe Bryant, detail is everything, leading to the creation of this grey based Kobe 9 Elite Detail colorway.
Retail launch: March 22, 2014
The Kobe Bryant Kobe Elite Masterpiece colorway will release globally on February 8, 2014 at Nike.com and select global retail locations.

Despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of Earth's animals are tropical insects, almost nothing is known about even their basic biology. As a graduate student at the University of Florida's Entomology and Nematology Department and the Florida Museum of Natural History, I am studying large-scale patterns in abundance and distribution for the first time in a mega-diverse Neotropical insect group, butterflies of the family Nymphalidae. Some of these butterflies are potentially threatened by habitat loss in the tropical Andean 'biodiversity hotspot' region, and my research will also contribute to a better understanding of the threat status of individual species, while simultaneously promoting knowledge of the dynamics of rarity and extinction. Please see my research page for more information on these topics, and follow me in the field via my BLOG!

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Council on Postsecondary Education
Student body presidents voice support for tuition policy
Note to editors: Full remarks by the student body presidents (17K PDF)
The Executive Committee of the Council on Postsecondary Education heard from student body presidents yesterday regarding their views of the Council's new tuition policy.Jason Marion, chair of the Kentucky Board of Student Body Presidents and student body president at Morehead State University, said students at his campus understand that increasing tuition is necessary to maintain quality. Citing rising energy costs and the need to retain quality faculty and staff, Marion noted that students don't want their tuition to go up… "but at the same time, they also understand that for them to have a valuable degree they will need to pay more. There's a tradeoff there." "It's a difficult street to walk down because we're asking for quality and we're asking for affordability," Marion added. The Council developed the new tuition policy in conjunction with the universities. The policy aligns tuition setting with state appropriations and sets parameters for maximum tuition based upon the amount of state appropriations institutions receive. The objective of the new policy is to maintain affordability for Kentuckians while meeting the financial needs of the universities.The Council will meet March 24 to vote on the one-year tuition proposals approved by the governing boards from at least three institutions--University of Kentucky, Morehead State University, and the Kentucky Community and College System. The Council will vote on the proposals from the remaining institutions on April 5, as well as all proposed exceptions. Other student body presidents who addressed the Council were Bill Brammel of the University of Louisville, Katie Dawson of Western Kentucky University, and Leonard Clemons of Kentucky State University who serves as vice chair of the board of student body presidents. Brammel said he appreciates the tuition guidelines. "I think the stability it adds to the system is very good and I think it will make students feel very good when they understand the system."I think UofL students feel very confident that our administration will do whatever is in its power to keep that number as low as possible without sacrificing the quality of our higher education and the quality of our campus," he added.KSU's Clemons noted, "We're glad with some of the tuition policies that CPE has set but also we're hoping for more state appropriations since we're a little smaller than the normal university. We really want KSU to flourish because we really think it's one of the best-kept secrets in Kentucky and one of the best-kept secrets in Frankfort. It's really a jewel and we're trying to give it a shine," Clemons explained.Dawson also expressed concern with educational quality issues in regards to a proposed student fee and the projects it will support. "What our job has been as students that are informed in student government is to explain to students how this small fee could help prevent future students from having to pay a larger fee or a bigger increase in tuition… But it's more of just our students realizing that if they want a quality education not only are they going to have to increase a little bit more for tuition but they might be asked to further pay a student fee," she said.In other business, the Council reviewed an analysis of the 2006-08 House budget recommendation with a comparison to the Governor's budget recommendation and discussed funding policy development.--30—
Kentucky's postsecondary education system encompasses eight public institutions and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, numerous independent institutions and Kentucky Adult Education. The system represents 235,083 students, 538,866 Kentucky alumni and 294,896 GED recipients. When Kentuckians earn postsecondary degrees, their skills improve and their wages go up; they are more likely to lead healthy lives and be engaged in their communities; and they build better futures for themselves and their families.

The multimedia GeXcube ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 Pro combo proved to be a good product with numerous attractive features. Alas, there is always a fly in the ointment. The card is not free from a few drawbacks that need to be mentioned.
My biggest concern is the audio tract of the card. The level of pickups and noise it too high to be acceptable. Add to that the low sensitivity of the TV-tuner, resulting in a degradation of the received image. These are two main complaints about the hardware part of the product.
As for the software, it does what it has been written for, although minor errors would still occur. I also want to express my regret about the ATI FM Radio missing in the current version of the software bundle.
The performance of the GeXcube ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 Pro is up to the mark: the card will suit both gamers and multimedia fans. Coming at $249 (recommended price), this product is probably the best choice for a user who's into multimedia and fast 3D. Overclockers, on the contrary, should look somewhere else, as the cooling system of the GeXcube ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 Pro won't stand your cruel experiments!
Basing on the criteria, formulated at the beginning of the review, I would say that this product is not perfect for a business user. Notwithstanding its wide functionality, the card doesn't support monitors with the digital (DVI-I) interface that are often used in a modern office. Otherwise, this card meets the demands of this user group.
As for a home user, there is only one serious flaw: the package doesn't include a remote control unit. The thing is indispensable for those of us who like to control the multimedia combo from a soft sofa ;). However, you shouldn't forget that I talked about the OEM-version of the product, while the retail version is sure to have a remote control unit with it. The high quality of the TV-out, typical of all cards on ATI VPUs, allows using this product with TV-sets. The owners of HDTV-receivers can also order a special D-Sub-to-YPbPr adapter on the ATI website to attach the receiver to the card.
So, here's my verdict: the GeXcube ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 Pro is the best multifunctional combo now produced, capable of outputting the picture onto two monitors, boasting high performance, although not free from certain drawbacks. I hope the drawbacks will be corrected in the future versions of the product.
- Compact size;
- High performance in 3D;
- High quality of the image output to the TV-set;
- Support of dual-monitor configurations;
- Low noise level;
- Rich accessories.
- Relatively low-sensitive TV-tuner;
- High level of noise in the audio tract;
- No DVI interface;
- Minor flaws in the software;
- Radio-receiving functions are only available with the ATI MMC version 8.6

Eat Drink Blog, the Australian food blogger's conference had such a tightly packed schedule that I wasn't entirely sure if I was going to be able to experience any of Adelaide's restaurants, being only down there for a short period of time. Fortunately, I was staying with Melissa Loh, who introduced me to Celeste from Travelling in Mary Janes, a lovely girl and also one of the conference organisers who took us out for dinner on the Friday night preceding the conference.
I found out we were headed to Etica Ethical Pizzeria for dinner, which both intrigued and excited me, as I love pizza (who doesn't?) and I was interested in hearing about the concept behind this place.
As a vet, factory farming definitely concerns me. Etica makes sure to source all of their animal derived products from a farm that practices the highest animal welfare standards, hence if you eat here, you can be sure you are eating ethically. They list these farms and their story on the back of their menu, which is very informative. I liked that I could know exactly where the food on my plate came from.
The restaurant itself is quite small, the entrance has a small outdoor area where more tables can be placed, then the front section of the indoor area is taken up by a massive pizza oven. There is a bar with seating at the back. The pizza oven emits a roasty warmth throughout the indoor area, something that is lovely on a colder night, but would be terribly hot in summer.
I ordered a homemade limonata to drink, which was beautifully refreshing and a huge glass.
An antipasto platter to share was brought out to us by the owner which was lovely, and consisted of arancini, artichoke, mushrooms, salami, beetroot, olives and smoked mozzarella. The olives had been warmed and were a salty pop of flavour.
We also shared the mozzarella tasting platter, which to a cheese lover was a dream to behold. There was plain mozzarella, smoked, buffalo mozzarella and ricotta. The buffalo mozzarella was a clear winner for me, this is one of my favourite cheeses, but it was interesting to taste the differences between them all.
We decided on a couple of pizzas to share and a pasta. Patrons are able to see their pizza being made at a counter at the front of the restaurant, each is rolled out one by one and then placed into the pizza oven. The end result is a very authentic looking pizza with a nice thin base. Pizzas are presented uncut, which could be annoying, but it just means you can cut yourself a larger slice.
We had the Zbigniew with tomato base, mozzarella, porcini mushroom, salami, olives, olive oil and sea salt, and the Margherita Extra, with tomato base, buffalo mozzarella, olive oil, basil and sea salt.
Both pizzas were absolutely delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed the Margherita in particular which is simple and one of my favourites. The only downer was that the middle of the pizzas became a bit soggy after a while, eat faster I say.
The pasta that was ordered was Penne with Cavolo Nero, and is one of Celeste's favourites. The penne was unfortunately not available and so was substituted with Etica's homemade pasta, thinly rolled and rustic. This pasta was like a version of pesto, but using kale instead of basil. The flavour was subtle and delightfully green, rather than being overpowering with flavour as pesto can be.
I really liked Etica, the concept and the care behind their menu, and the food. It was homely and it felt like being in Nonna's kitchen (even though I am not Italian and therefore have no Nonna).

A Trip to Orlando & Feed Your Head Video Premiere
Posted on Tuesday, June 03, 2014 by Chris
Words and photos by Frank. This weekend we premiered Marshall Nicholson's new video, "Feed Your Head" at the Bricks Ybor. It definitely did not disappoint, with tons of raw street skating, night footage, pushing, and hometown pride. Check out the photos.
I have been missing my vx1000 lately, as I have been attending a bunch of video premieres such as Static 4, Shaqueefa Mixtape, and more that all have been filmed with one.
I have been Internet friends with Marshall for a couple years now and we finally met up in Orlando before the premiere for a session. After seeing this no comply I was sure the video was going to be sick.
Next spot was this prop-up to electrical box.
After getting the spot set up, Stereo Am Nick Zizzo went straight to work with this bs noseblunt.
Alternate angle, as the filmer was all up in my shot.
This guy came in hot on his Segway and ruined our fun.
Marshall and Nick already stacking clips for their new project.
Orlando local, Stalker Steve shut down this rail and made some business calls.
Marshall's homies made the 15-hour drive from Louisville, Kentucky and wasted no time hitting the streets.
When arriving to the Bricks, the first person I run into is shop manager Denis Frain. Denis has some clips coming out in the premiere of Florida Rain at SPoT Ybor this Friday.
A quick speech before the video starts.
Josh Miller held it down for all the tall skaters and Chris Reitz held it down for all the SPoT employees. Both these guys had some sick footage in the video.

Apple Cuts iPhone 5 Component Orders as World Turns to Samsung
Apple has cut orders for iPhone 5 components by half, according to reports. Everywhere Apple turns lately, Samsung is there and dominating.Apple last month cut orders for iPhone 5 components by about half, according to a Jan. 14 report from the Nikkei, citing an unnamed executive at an Apple supplier. Apple had originally ordered 65 million iPhone 5 displays, according to Bloomberg, which added that the news sent Apple shares sliding by as much as 4.5 percent in early U.S. trading. The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the situation, added that orders of other components had also been cancelled. Once, Apple couldn't make devices fast enough to meet demand. Today, it appears consumers in developed markets are already tied to wireless contracts or are buying devices from competitors—or really, Samsung. After a stretch during which the Apple brand seemed untouchable, with not a realistic competitor in sight, Samsung came on fast and strong with its Android-running Galaxy line, first proving itself to be of Apple-caliber quality and cool, and then zooming past the iconic device. During the third quarter of 2012, Samsung sold 55 million smartphones (and 98 million mobile phones overall) to Apple's 23.6 million iPhones, according to Gartner.
While Apple executives have insisted that great devices, not profits, are the company's driving force, analysts tell a different story of Apple adjusting in ways it previously found unnecessary. While Apple has traditionally introduced its newest iPhone in the fall—which last year gave Samsung a months-long window during which to introduce and sell tens of millions of Galaxy S III smartphones—Canaccord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley has reported that the firm believes Apple is planning an early-summer launch for its next iPhone.

Flavorful meatloaf, diverse tastes and textures. Optional ingredients kick it up a notch. Gluten free.
- Yield
- 4-5 people
- To serve 4 to 5 people.
- 1.5 to 1.75 lbs chopped meat (beef, veal, pork). Other variations are fine, but using several different meats adds depth.
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 shallot, coarsely chopped
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp truffle oil
- 1 cup diced baked potato. I find it easiest to make the potato the previous day and let it cool and become firm in the refrigerator overnight. This makes it easy to skin and dice.
- 3/4 cup of coarsely chopped mushrooms (using a few types of mushrooms enhances the dish -- I use shitake, morel and regular brown mushrooms)
- OPTIONAL 1 small jalapeno or chile pepper, chopped fine.
- Ketchup
- Prep time is about 15 minutes. Saute the mushrooms in a lightly buttered pan to get out most of the moisture. Separately, saute the onion, shallot, and scallion in a lightly buttered pan. Take off of the flame as the onion begins to turn clear. In a large bowl, combine the chopped meat, egg yolks, truffle oil, salt, and pepper thoroughly. For a spicier entree mix in the diced jalapeno or chile. Gently fold in the sauteed onions, mushrooms, and diced baked potato. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 X 9 casserole dish and use a spatula to firmly and evenly press the mixture into it. Using ketchup, cover the top of the dish with diagonal stripes in both directions. About half to three quarters of the surface should be covered. Bake at 350 (preheated oven) for 40 to 50 minutes and finish under the broiler for about 5 minutes to brown the top. Remove from oven and carefully pour off excess liquid. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
