Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Slippy, Sep 4, 2006.
Looks like I am going to be the first victim of mob justice.
Dlev has a lot of posts over the last few days with the letter "L". He uses "Flip" quite often and "L" in some more generic basketball contexts. Check out his posts over the last 3 days. Suspicious? I don't think Roscoe should hang for this. My eye is drawn toward dlev, although I have more research to do.
Yeah I know, but Flip is a very short word and probably not likely for the purpose of this game. I tossed up between those two guys, however your Laimbeer post was eye-catching. I ended up going with jammer, he had a few posts in the non-basketball areas that could be regarded as sneaky, but its impossible to tell so early. Nothing against your character jammer, but I had to choose someone.
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II truth is, i felt the whole first murder is really a crapshoot and so i was gonna vote to hang tayshaunofthedead (his daddy was no good either) but then webz gave me some not bad reasons for voting for dlev and some other suspicious characters and dlev lost my own personal-coin-flip-for-justice
I'm going with DLev. Not enough evidence , but as likely as anyone. Hopefully justice is done.
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II I went with Dlev too. [sign]Is Dlev guilty?[/sign]
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II I throw myself on the mercy of the court....... NOT GUILTY!!!!!! I did have a disagreement with TheeTFD, however I wouldn`t want to whack him...........
I am innocent for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!! Don`t do it, wait a few years when the DNA eveidence comes out...........Those who vote me the murderer will be sorry......................DETTEAM DID IT.............
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II Sorry Dlev, a lot of people want to whack TFD but most have the restraint not to act on their primal urges. LOL.
That really hurts webz. I thought we were pals?!? Hey, I'm cool with it as long as I don't get the most votes! I want to stick around and keep playing! :P I think I'm going to go with dlev as well. I agree that I think the killer would be someone that played the first game, to help smooth the transition. But choosing a staff member would be too obvious. Dlev flew under the radar in the first game and would be a good choice this time around. Of course I have absolutely zero proof of it, so I'm going to wait to vote until I can look at some evidence.
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II I would have challenged him to a 10 mile race, but whacked him? Maybe a hard Lambieer foul, but never a murder........
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II Is there a difference?
Ok, we have to vote within two hours unless Slippy changed the deadline due to holiday. So I will share what I've found out in my investigation of the brutal murder of TheeTFD. Exhaustive Evidentiary Results Ruled out unequivocably IMO: MotownPride, WebZ, Tayshaunofthedead, Maverick, Hack, The Low, Majestic, Lurker. You guys are free to go. Thanks for coming in for questioning. (Now we can hang any of these if we want to and we get enough poll votes, but I don't think any of them are the killer. THIS TIME let's try to get the perp the first time out, instead of hanging.....me! ) Here are the posts with keywords that might be the murder post. Now I used a very wide definition of keywords. I will bold the words that I feel are better bets. Don't know whether to include proper names or words that aren't specifically basketball words. So it's a broad parameter. Bezeach 1. offense/ball 2. frontcourt/free agent/forward-center/Lorenzen Wright Professor 1. hustle/courtside Jammer 1. Larry Brown/coaching 2. roster/starter 3. Darko/coach 4. league/pre-season/starter/physical Linwood 1. fouls/Wade/James/DreamTeam Warthog 1. game/ball/ejected Dlev 1. Flip/Joe D./playoffs/coach/head coach 2. Tay/Prince/Josh Howard/Mavericks 3. Delfino/Joe D./Flip 4. Brad Miller/3 pt shooting/Coach K/defense Dumars4Ever 1. defense/Wade/pick and roll/NBA/allstars/Flash detteam 1. Sheed/Championship Drive 2. Sheed/double/title 3. Flip/KG/allstars 4. Arroyo/bench/6th man/Microwave/Corliss/tech/D 5. Flip/head coach/ECF/Terry Porter Roscoe 1. Tay/Court IQ 2. basketball/Stern/league 3. Terry Porter/Flip/Joe/Palace 4. Memo/Corliss/Darko/Detroit/6th Man/basketball/scorer 5. starters/team 6. starters/bench/Dice/Ben/Tay/Billups Darth: 1.

Bad Boy/Laimbeer/Detroit/title/NBA So I hope this list of murder post clues helps us decide who to hang. It would be a good thing to go read the post to see if it seems kinda fishy. It's not too hard to use basketball words on a Pistons forum, eh! Truly, I have no idea. All of these posts seem to be in the normal flow of posting on this forum. I have no idea who the murderer is, but I hope my research will help those of us who still haven't voted yet to choose. I don't think it's me or Darth. We are Chief Detectives working for justice. This time around I may just make a vote based on what my gut is telling me. Evidence isn't very conclusive. Hurry Hurry and Vote to Hang the Person of Your Choice!
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II I decided to take a holiday from logic, and just join the hanging mob. Sorry, Diev, I probably just sealed your doom... Hmmm, maybe I'll try this approach next time I get called up for jury duty...
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II I hope you use your better judgement for jury duty. It would have been nice if you used it here too............. I have no faith in the justice system if this unsolicited act is inflicted on an innocent man, myself!!!!!!!
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II It's mob justice man! Kill'em all and let the big guy sort them out! Now please, accept your fate with some dignity! :P
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II Roflllllllllllllll
The evidence is really really sketchy. And I'm going with detteam. I'm very tempted to jump on the dlev bandwagon, because he played in the first game and I agree that Slippy would choose a more experienced murder gamer. However, those two posts are just not incriminating enough to me. So...detteam, forgive me if I know not what I do.
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II I just got back from a beautiful weekend on the Oregon coast. Man, it was great. I haven't really had a chance to read the rules or anything, so I'm not sure what's different this time. Anyway, Dlev seems like a nice guy, and I think I saw him down at Young's BBQ recently, so I don't think it could be him. Guess I'll just vote for Darth. (Everyone knows he's a tornado lover.)
Re: Who Took Out TheeTFD part II Angry voices carried the night air in its cold embrace and a light rain spilled from the sky. "TheeTFD was a decent %%%%ing guy!" someone cried out. "Who the %%%% will save our homes when the next %%%%ing tornado drop down?" cried another. The groups safety would be bought with blood and Dlev was selected to pay the price. "I'm %%%%ing innocent you %%%%s!" "Hang him!!! Hang the %%%%er!!!" The trapdoor opened and justice was done. Two deaths and the hope that the gossamer thread that linked the accused to the victim was the right one. There was only one sure thing. At least one other killer was out there. Someone had to go first they all agreed. Silently, they gave thanks that it wasn't them. They were alive to play the game...for now.
Separate names with a comma.

|Check-in before
At first a big thank you for this great week that we enjoied staying in your flat. The flat was as they described it to be. The room is not that big but we had enough space for putting away our three suitcases under the bed and next to the wardrobe. We had our own bathroom, where you have enough space for all your stuff. Everything was quite clean and there were no problems using all the shared rooms: the kitchen and the living room. They said us when we arrived that we could ask them for advice or stuff we would need whenever we want to.
All in all they were really nice, caring and friendly flatmates, we would really recommed this flat to everybody who wants to live right in the centre of Barcelona to have a great holiday.
We had a very nice time in the Apartment of Roberta and her brother. It was a good place and Roberta and her brother where kindly and helpful. We arived very late and it was no problem. The apartment was in the neighborhood of all places you will visit in Barcelona. When you will stay in Barcelona this place is a good choice.
My boyfriend & I stayed at Roberta's place for a few days. It was our first time in Barcelona and our first time using this site. When we travel we usually stay at a hotel, so i was a bit skeptical in giving this web a try. But Roberta and her siblings were really really nice and friendly, they gave us a lot of suggestions on what to do in Barcelona. The room & the toilet were clean, our stay was really comfortable. The room has no air condition but Roberta's brother, Wesley gave us a fan so it was quite ok. The best part about this place is its in the city centre so everywhere was just walking distance. However, we did have a problem in opening the front door with the key, but once you get the hang of it, it won't be problem. We enjoyed our privacy but at the same time we were able to sit and talk with Roberta & her siblings. will definitely stay here again when we visit Barcelona in the future.
Great place to stay. It's located in the center of the city, near placa catalunya. We were there for four days and could go anywhere walking. We were received with enormous enthousiasm and got various tips for our stay.
The room is clean, it's nice to have your own bathroom and shower. I really liked it and will return definately when i am to return to Barcelona. Thanks roberta and wesley!
Roberta and her brother (who also lives in the appartment) are excellent hosts. They make you feel at home and encouraged us to use the kitchen and living room even when they are at home. The room is simple but tidy, the bathroom was nice and clean.
When we encountered problems (not concerning the room) Roberta and her brother did everyhing they could to help us. We hope to com back some time.
My mother and I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay than with the very friendly and accommodating family of Wesley, Roberta and Jessica. They made our stay very comfortable. Also, the location of their apartment is conveniently close to stores, coffee shops and bars (without the noise). Plaza Catalunya which is the center of tourists and access to the Hop-On, Hop-Off was an easy 7-minute walk. The metro is also a 5-minute walk from their place. This made everything easy for us. It's also not too far from the train station Sants which is only a 10-minute cab ride. The bed we slept on was very soft and even if the bathroom was outside our room, we were the only ones using it. Great place, great people and great value for money! It made our Barcelona stay a wonderful experience.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful. They are very polite and always have a smile,make you home-like feel and comfortable.
Roberta's brother and sister lived in the apartment, they were very hospitable, helpful and nice. The apartment is very close to many highlights of Barcelona, only 500m to Plaza de Catalunya/the aerobus, very close to the underground.
Roberta and his brother Wesley are very kind landlords. The house is clean and beautiful and it's located just 5 minutes walking from everything in Barcelona.
I had an awesome time in the center of Barcelona at Roberta's place. The room was comfortable, clean and in a nice old building for a really good price (especially during a congress). But I got more than a room, I got really good advice where to go for dinner or a drink and an extremely friendly environment. I would always go back and I am looking forward to see the city, the flat and those kind people and their honest smile again.
Small suggestion to them: they should write a small city guide for their guests so they don't need to explain the way 20x to customers (they have been really extremely patient) like me who cannot remind a way:D
Small suggestion to visitors: go and watch an (important) Barcelona football match in a pub around the corner you cannot get in touch with locals more easily.

Tom Cruise hopes to face-punch the sequel curse
It's a bad year for sequels. The summer box office is down 22% from last year, mostly because sequel after sequel has failed. Naturally, this has everyone clutching their pearls and wondering what's gone wrong, whether or not Finding Dory and Suicide Squad will be enough to save summer 2016, if Independence Day: Resurgence will be a Jurassic World-style surprise, and just how badly Tarzan will flop (prediction: pretty badly).

09:50 2nd January 2014
Closer on Jacobs but Gills the key
Kenny Jackett is balancing concentration between tomorrow's crucial trip to Gillingham – and potential comings and goings behind the scenes with the transfer window once again open.
The Head Coach's main priority at the moment is tomorrow's game, particularly in terms of defensive selection with Richard Stearman suspended and Ethan Ebanks-Landell also a big doubt after picking up a knee injury in yesterday's 1-1 draw at Tranmere.
Matt Doherty is also unlikely to be ready to return from his hamstring injury.
"Matt has an outside chance but more of a chance for Preston," said Jackett.
"We'll assess it and it's a tough call to make straightaway after a game.
"But I would think the chances of Matt Doherty coming out of nowhere are slim.
"Our target, as a club and a medical staff, is to get him right for Preston."
It is perhaps Preston by which time more may be known on the picture for January, with discussions already well down the road to try and extend the Wolves stay of winger Michael Jacobs.
"It has been in the hands of Kevin Thelwell over the last couple of days," Jackett says of Jacobs, whose current loan from Derby runs out after the Gillingham fixture.
"There have been plenty of talks with Derby and we hope we can extend the loan.
"We are very pleased with Michael and it was another very good performance yesterday.
"He has been good in almost every game and I have been impressed with him.
"He has a lot in terms of being able to create and bring something to us since he has been here.
"The two options are to extend the loan or to try and take him permanently and that is in the hands of Kevin.
"Michael knows that we like him and want him to have a future at Wolves – there is no doubt about that."
On the speculation front Wolves have been heavily linked with striker Kevin Phillips, now a free agent after his release from Crystal Palace.
"There hasn't been any interest yet," says the Head Coach.
"We are looking to add players but we haven't had any contact and taking Kevin is not something we have considered or talked about - we will see.
"We will look at our injuries, see where we are and look at the balance of the front part of the side.
"From my point of view I need to get into the office tomorrow morning and assess all of our options, with the priority of Gillingham live on Sky on Friday which is the most important one.
"If players either inside or outside can help us win that game then I won't hesitate."

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
Sony deserves credit for trying something different in a market full of devices that offer minimal distinguishing features. However, its Tablet P doesn't succeed due to an inconsistent user experience, mediocre battery life and a design that makes it uncomfortable to hold and use. This one is sadly best avoided.
We've long derided Android tablet manufacturers for producing "me too" devices, but Sony is one company that's clearly aiming to buck this boring trend. Its strange looking Tablet P features two 5.5in capacitive touch screens and utilises a flip design so the screens fold onto each other when the tablet is closed. The idea has its merits, but Sony's execution is far from perfect.
• Sony Tablet S review
• New Sony Tablet S runs Android, joins Tablet P in competing with Apple's iPad
The Sony Tablet P's dual-screen design certainly has its advantages. It's small enough to fit into any handbag and should also slide into a large suit jacket pocket. All in all, this is an extremely portable device that weighs less than 400g. We feel it may find a niche with frequent travellers who want to carry around something smaller than an iPad.
Despite its size the Sony Tablet P feels like a solid piece of hardware. It has sturdy, gloss black hinges that definitely feel well constructed, and the matte silver finish on the top and bottom of the tablet is a nice touch. You can open the hinge to any angle you wish and the Tablet P won't topple over. However, the pointy corners of the device dig into your hands after only a few minutes of use which makes it uncomfortable to hold.
You'll find all the controls and ports on the right side of the Tablet P — a power button, charging port, a micro-USB port and volume controls. Both the power and volume controls aren't raised enough and therefore require a real firm press to activate.
The removable battery of the Tablet P is a nice touch, but we don't like having to take off the bottom cover to access the microSD card slot. A SIM card slot for 3G connectivity lies beneath the top cover but we found it quite flimsy and accidentally damaged one of the plastic locks while trying to force it back on. The Tablet P is impossible to open single-handedly.
Once you do open the Tablet P you are be greeted with two 5in displays, both with a resolution of 1024x480. A glossy black bezel matching the hinges surrounds both screens and quickly becomes a grubby fingerprint magnet. The bezel is also too large for our liking. The screens themselves are bright and clear with good viewing angles and vibrant colours. Text is sharp with no visible aberrations, though the relatively high resolution does mean icons and text can appear rather small.
Do the dual-displays work? The answer is both yes and no, depending on what applications you use. Most of Sony's default and pre-loaded apps make perfect use of the display. The Gmail and e-mail apps show your e-mails on the top screen and the keyboard on the bottom. The default calendar app can show a view of the full month even when viewing by day or week. The calculator shows the keys on the bottom screen and your results on the top. The reader app, Sony's e-book reading solution, acts as a real book with one page on the left screen and the next page on the right.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Again: Axelrod, Emanuel attack Fox News on morning shows
posted at 12:25 pm on October 18, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via Breitbart, your White House talking point du jour expressed in nearly identical terms on two different shows: Unlike MSNBC and the rest of the media that these two control, Fox isn't "real news" because it comes with a slant. Candygram for Ax and Rahm from the New York Times: Cease and desist.
It could all be written off as a sideshow, but it may present a genuine problem for Mr. Obama, who took great pains during the campaign to depict himself as being above the fray of over-heated partisan squabbling. In his victory speech he promised, "I will listen to you, especially when we disagree."…
On the official White House Web site, a blog called Reality Check provides a running tally of transgressions by Fox News. It ends with this: "For even more Fox lies, check out the latest 'Truth-O-Meter' feature from Politifact that debunks a false claim about a White House staffer that continues to be repeated by Glenn Beck and others on the network."
People who work in political communications have pointed out that it is a principle of power dynamics to "punch up " — that is, to take on bigger foes, not smaller ones. A blog on the White House Web site that uses a "truth-o-meter" against a particular cable news network would not seem to qualify. As it is, Reality Check sounds a bit like the blog of some unemployed guy living in his parents' basement, not an official communiqué from Pennsylvania Avenue.
The American presidency was conceived as a corrective to the royals, but trading punches with cable shouters seems a bit too common. Perhaps it's time to restore a little imperiousness to the relationship.
Their strategy of demagoguing Limbaugh as the leader of the GOP made sense because it invited a comparison between Rush and The One, which, given their relative popular appeal, is a good match-up for Democrats. The anti-Fox strategy makes zero sense considering that (a) the public thinks the media is too liberal, which Fox uses to frame itself as a needed corrective, and (b) Fox's most high-profile competition, such as it is, spent a fair chunk of the Bush years screaming about fascism and insisting that Roger Ailes runs a more dangerous organization than Osama Bin Laden. Not a good match-up. I assume the Fox-baiting is simply red meat they're throwing to liberals to try to take the heat off on Afghanistan and "don't ask, don't tell," but when even the Nation's telling them to stop whining, the move to Plan B can't be long in coming.
Update: I should have mentioned Jacob Weisberg's attack on Fox as "un-American" in Newsweek here, but forgot. Luckily, Meryl Yourish didn't.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thank you for the support ladies. Guess I stress too much sometimes. Moon the only fix I am aware if is traveling gramma which I emailed.

I will do a block with you if you wish. Just let me know.
April ... Chill hun. Stuff happens, and this barely registers on the Oops scale.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
Yea! I would love to swap a block with you! I already have your address. That makes 8 extra swaps
April, don't think another minute about the few booboos. Man, if I was trying to do that at any time let alone midnight, it would be a royal mess You're the reason things run so smoothly
Ok.. so I have my super cute foodsaver-ed baggies of 8 types of fabric stuffed into "Social Envelopes".. which they fit perfectly in, nice and skinny, and fall under the sizing/thickness guidelines for normal letter postage.. yippee.. put in a note, a return label, and sealed it all up. But i probably won't mail til wednesday when I get another check cause I'm down to $10... hehehe. Even got one going to Nexxus.
I'm so tired of being tired.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Everything as described.
Cozy flat with everything you need. 45 min to reach St. Stephans Platz by foot and a few min with the U-bahn which is 30 seconds from the door.
Nothing to complain also considering the low price we paid.
Good stay
Very cozy and quiet appartment, with kitchen and all kitchen utensils. Very good location - near the metro station and city center. Very nice welkom. Our hostess speaks English, German and Russian. My advice to stay there families and business travelers.
Very well located and very nice, very clean and inviting flat. Very friendly and helpful hosts, Birgit and Walther. They recommended us "Kurkonditorei" (Oberlaa, Neuer Markt 16), restaurants with local food and how to get from the airport to Lassallestrasse "as the Viennese do" (Schnellbahn S7 to Praterstern and U1 Bahn in direction Leopoldau one station to Vorgartenstrasse and you are here!).
The woman giving us the key (Katherina) is very friendly and cheerful.
A good stay, thank you.
Appartment was exactly what we expected!
Everything was as written. It was really a clean place. And the place location is good. Birgit and Walter are very helpful people. Thanks for everything.
Perfect location! Nice and clean appartment.
The apartment is very well connected . He noted for its comfort. The only drawback is perhaps the traffic noise but the windows isolate perfectly noise . Communication with the host was at all times very quick and they helped us with any doubt.
Highly recommended.
We had a great time in Viena and really liked the apartment.
The apartment was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed.
We had no issues checking in or out. And the lady that gave us the keys was very understanding and welcoming.
The apartment location is very good. Is not far from the center, you can get there in 10-15 min max with the U1 Metro. You only have 3 stops, and there is a metro station around the corner from the apartment.
You can find a EuroSpar and Billa not far from the apartment (about 10 min walk).
We enjoined our stay and plan to come back. Wen we do this apartment will be our first choice.

Like Waiting for "Superman", the socio-political documentary that education reformers cannot praise lavishly enough, Inside Job is tough, unsparing, and intellectually rigorous. But there's a significant difference between the two films; while "Superman" suggests that tomorrow is a new day, there is not a drop of hope in the tragedy Ferguson presents. No matter where you sit in the food chain, Inside Job will supply the stuff for instant outrage.
Millionaire Ayn Rand worshippers and their trade-floor errand boys will resent Ferguson for highlighting their ethical negligence. The same goes for Tea Party numbskulls, who, despite their fear of debt and unemployment, trumpet the same loose policies that landed countless blue collars on bread lines.
On the left, progressives will hardly cheer for this account of how a few whiteboys looted planet Earth and stole away in custom jets. Democrats will be especially dismayed by the doc's portrayal of President Barack Obama's complicity in maintaining the dismal economic status quo.
As for academics: from Berkeley to Cambridge, scholars are in spin mode. Ferguson, who studied technology and policy at MIT, makes a compelling case that Harvard is among many institutions at which foolhardy free-market zealots have poisoned economics curricula.
Finally, Inside Job will make all of us Americans feel like Dan Aykroyd in Trading Places — after his character discovers that Randolph and Mortimer destroyed him over a one-dollar wager. There's your silver lining: he got dicked over for a dollar; at least the Dukes of Wall Street dicked us over for trillions.
Betting on failureFerguson's doc is already being targeted by those responsible for economic ruin. Frederic Mishkin, a Columbia University finance professor and Federal Reserve veteran who was interviewed for Inside Job, went so far as to make an even bigger ass of himself this past week with a hollow, fact-free comeback op-ed in the Financial Times. Yet those who attempt to undermine this film with rhetorical spite should acknowledge an irrefutable reality: millions of hard-working folks were devastated by the 2008 meltdown. And regardless of how many professional and amateur critics claim to have been previously aware of the bombshell revelations presented in this film, those voices don't necessarily speak for Joe and Mary Main Street.
"If people did know more," says Ferguson, "then they would be more outraged than they are. Many people don't know all that much about what happened, and they feel bewildered. One of my principal goals was to help people understand the basis of what happened. And there are other things in the film that have not been discussed widely, if at all, like conflicts of interests in the economic discipline."

What is it about jazz?
You can ignore it, misunderstand it and write if off, but it never quite goes away.
Genre-jumping musician Julien Dyne might have an explanation: "You have to exist, you know? You have to play. So in the end your choices are play or don't play, create an opportunity or stay at home."
Once you've got enough people thinking the same way all you need is something to bring them together and you've got a scene that can survive on its own terms.
Something like Roger Manins' piano.
He packed his sax and left New Zealand 22 years ago to learn and play in Australia and New York. When he returned in 2004 he brought new ideas with him. As well as teaching at Auckland University's jazz school, he and wife Caroline kicked off the Creative Jazz Club of Aotearoa (CJC) at Ponsonby's Cafe 121 - based on a similar model in Sydney - and began hosting performance nights.
So, when ex-pat piano legend Mike Nock passed through on his way to see his mum in Christchurch, it seemed natural to invite him to play.
The Manins were in the process of moving to the basement of 1885 Britomart (reminiscent of High St's now-demolished Cause Celebre), but they still lacked an instrument worthy of his talent.
One personal loan later and they had a $30,000-plus piano that doubled as a serious statement of intent.
"With that in place and an audience that comes to listen we were able to create a space that supports original material and where musicians wouldn't feel any pressure to play The Girl From Ipanema one more time."
From Nock's first Wednesday showcase, the weekly CJC nights have become the subterranean heart and soul of Auckland jazz.
Their membership sits at about 180, their mailing list is knocking on 1000, they regularly fill their 65-person capacity, venue and they've hosted 27 international artists over the past year. Which isn't to say CJC is remotely mainstream but, like The Dude, it abides, a condition that has a lot to do with Manins' credibility - aside from a mile-long playing CV the 42-year-old won the saxophone title at Australia's 2002 International Jazz Awards and was last year honoured as a Jazz Hero by the international Jazz Journalists Association.
He's helped fill a large musical hole. When the London Bar on Queen St closed, Auckland jazz found itself riffing between two poles, the Jazz and Blues Club at the Pt Chevalier RSA and the eccentric improvisers of Vitamin S in the Wine Cellar off K Rd. The CJC falls somewhere in the middle to become a testing ground where young performers can front up to an educated audience in a decent venue. It should create a flow of new acts able to make the step up to festival level and, who knows, even end Nathan Haines' loneliness as the only jazzster most people can name.
Such collectives are vital says Manins: "Every city needs one, they've made the difference in Australia. They enrich and they inspire. Look at Wellington - they don't have one and there's a real lack of venues there. They're at an all-time low really."
Not only do these groups bring together like-minded people, the membership fees and door charges also provide money to help attract international artists.
Another collective has popped up in Christchurch, based around the CPIT jazz school, and links are growing between the two.
Even better, CJC has unofficially joined the Australian tour circuit with the twin carrots of a jammed gig and a workshop at the jazz school making the trip affordable. All going well, Christchurch should be able get in on the action as well.
But even as this evolution continues underground, the music's influence is blooming.
The days of jazzsters being happy to stick to their knitting are long gone and artists like Julien Dyne are becoming the norm. Outside jazz, he also backs Ladi 6, has played with The Opensouls, and made a name for himself as a producer of electronic future soul, work he now tours internationally.
When you throw in the Wellington jazz graduates who went on to create The Black Seeds and Fat Freddy's Drop it would seem jazz players are hidden in plain sight everywhere.
"It's hard to even know what jazz is now," says Dyne. "I think it's more of an attitude, about instilling a feeling into what you're doing. The straight-ahead jazz thing still goes on, but I think more players are now exploring wider realms where that attitude and feeling still seep through ... I mean look at Fat Freddy's, they have these long, five to 10-minute solos that can go anywhere and you could argue that they're just one step removed from jazz. It might not be about walking basslines, but the sensibility's still there."
Not that anyone should be surprised. As Dyne says, jazz has always been happy to blur boundaries; from Herbie Hancock messing around with synths and drum machines to the old-school samples used by Tribe Called Quest, virtuosity cannot be fenced in. For instance, on any given Wednesday you could take in the, let's say purist jazz at CJC, then catch the anything-goes approach of Dyne's group at Ponsonby Social Club before skipping along to Grand Central for the Alan Brown Project. That's a Wednesday. In Auckland.
Mark Robinson was part of this scene as it was kicking off. The expat Englishman spreads the gospel wherever he finds himself and ran the jazz show on George FM for several years. Now in Adelaide, and back on the radio, he's missing Auckland and wishes he could see what CJC has created.
"As an outsider I always felt this tension between the people who came through Auckland and Massey [university jazz schools] and I really hoped this could bring everyone together."
As compere during CJC's early days he saw several new faces go from nervy wrecks to pros over a few months.
And that calibre of performance was infectious: "You had these young bands getting together and creating good quality sets, then the older guys would say, 'bloody hell, I've got a gig coming up, I better get in some practice as well'. We had a whole lot of aims for that place and I think we achieved them all, which made us really proud. I miss it actually."
Where things head from here depends on Manins and money: "If you're talking growth, we're taking everything really slowly, fulltime jazz clubs go broke and right now we're happy to focus on one thing and do it really well. I'd say it's getting better and better, and for a small city like Auckland to have something like CJC, even one night a week, makes me feel good about living here. Sure, it takes a lot of energy, but shouldn't you want to do good where you are? If you don't and you're not feeling good you may as well piss off."

Common sense and awareness to your surroundings needs your full attention
by Hoard's Dairyman staff
Whether it was the 15-month-old toddler who crawled in a mixer, and lost his life when the operator unknowingly turned on the equipment, or the 25-year-old with a college degree in ag mechanics, whose tractor rolled on him while discing the land he rented, the dangers are ever-present. While these stories could have been fabricated; sadly they are real incidents that happened to real farm families in eastern Pennsylvania and northwest Wisconsin just this past week.
Were they preventable? Sadly, yes. Adequate adult supervision and roll-over protection structures would have altered the outcomes. Many of us know people who have escaped would-be fatalities; sometimes by just pure luck. But, eventually, luck can run out and common sense needs to drive decision-making on the farm.
We are warned of all sorts of dangers everyday: operating motorized vehicles under the influence, texting while driving, excessive speeding, and driving with inadequate sleep. But, regrettably, some still believe in their super-human powers and invincibility and ignore these dangers. Most of us know someone who is no longer invincible due to poor judgment, whether it's amputation, paralysis, or even death. The dangers are obvious, yet go unheeded.
So, while farms are incredible places to raise a family, danger continues to be found there, too. Practice preventative measures and educate family, employees, and farm visitors of all ages. The national ag safety database website has a huge database of videos on farm safety from chemicals, grain handling, skin cancer, electrical safety, and more. Some videos are viewable at no charge, while others are available for purchase.
While we made great strides with the withdrawal of the recent legislation affecting the youth that work on farms, do not rest. Outsiders will be watching our industry even closer. Do not let them, or yourselves down. Think safety first, and don't let yourself, your family, or employees become a preventable statistic.

Just like the title says, if I use a Form 1 with a money order will it process faster than with a personal check?
I did my Form 1 using a MO and a revocable living trust. Let's hope that I did it the right way!!! :D
Just like the title says, if I use a Form 1 with a money order will it process faster than with a personal check?
I did my Form 1 using a MO and a revocable living trust. Let's hope that I did it the right way!!! :D
One FFL swore by US Postal money orders and said the BATFE processed the payment immediately and started the transfer immediately. He said that personal checks delay the process since they take time to clear and the process starts after they clear.
Another one yelled at me for not supplying a personal check. In the end both transfers took the same amount of time.
Well either way, I contributed to paying down the federal debt... $200.
SBR Time!!! I can't wait to get my cherry popped. :)
I really don't know the answer to the question.
I went with a personal check. At least I can check the computer and see if my check has been cashed.
This is the only indicator that your request is being processed, as far as I know.
I did use a Postal Money Order when I had my receiver engraved. I believe those orders with money orders will take precedence with Orion, over those orders waiting for the checks to be cleared.
No it won't. I have filed many NFA forms, tried every way and it's all the same. I like the check better, because you can tell when it was cashed
Same, same. In fact the NFA FAQ's specify "personal check". In the case of a trust you can fund the trust with a checking account in the name of the trust. Write the check on that account.
Your check is headed to the Treasury Department, not the NFA or ATF. They are in charge of check cashing on a very large scale. It goes in with the IRS deposits etc.
My most recent form 1 was sent in early January, checked cashed in two weeks, stamped form 1 back to me this week.
You can't do anything with the ATFE. If they lost your paperwork, you are probably just out two-hundred bucks unless you can prove that the Treasury has your funds. You would also have to get a hold of the right person when they are having a good day. They are always way behind and most employees couldn't give two sh%ts about what you want. I once had the IRS cash a check and not credit me for the payment. It took almost four months, even with me having proof that they received the letter and the Treasury cashed the check, to get it cleared up.
They are just that far behind. There has been many form 1,s filed since the election.

Today, the temperature in Lees Summit, Mo reached the mid 40s and I observed bees leaving the hive for the first time in 3 or 4 days. I even observed bees returning to the hive with pollen. Unfortunately, I also noticed about a dozen bees dead on the ground in front of the hive. The dead bees had pollen.
Has anyone seen this before? Is it just to cold?
Please advise.

Im starting a build for my son and he got a box of AK parts and barrels and stuff for Xmas. it will be a 243 0r 260 remington loaded to light pressure.
Its going to be a light weight sporter and I want it as light as i can make it besides the heavy m70 trunion. this will be a outside the box build over the next year were he helps build it. He is 9 and will be able to shoot deer next season. I plan on letting him do as much on it as he can including some of the machine work that way he will know whats going on and how it all works and get some Shop time with Dad. It will have gas shut off as well and he will be shooting this as a non semi auto at first. Baby steps here.
Hes pretty sharp and noticed I had three barrels in the box, a 243, Win 260 Remington and 308 WIn there all model 700 take offs. he asked why there were three barels and I told him we were only going to use one but I hadent decided what one and that id keep the other two. Well hes not one to give stuff back that he just got, so he says way not use them all and just change them.
I have thought of several differant switch barrel assembly set up's in the past but they all required seperate trunions on a screw build. So got to thinking about a threaded barrel set up.
it looks like a 1"-12 thread can be used on the 23mm trunion if the bore is opend up to .9219"
that is .016 more than the factory bore. thats not much metal to get things right with with the boring bar if it dont cut good on the first try. the Yugo bore is not interupted like other trunions were there are hollow spots between the barrel and the trunion. aside from the barrel pin there is no interuptions. I really wish I had a virgin trunion to work with. the RSB will need to be removable or able to slide forward or you will not be able to unscrew the barrel. I was thinking of useing a barrel nut like the savage bolt actions and all barrels will need to be timed but that should not be a issue as once there head spaced correctly they will always be reinstalled in the same place every time.
I have seen were a guy threaded a 410 Saiga in conversion to a 500 S&W so I know it can be done. I think the model 70 Win uses a 1" thread .
this build is going to have a custom Aluminum RSB and likely a GB so I a dont have to worry about traditional looks in fact the less it looks like a AK the better for this build. people get nervious with kids shooting AK,s for some reason LOL.
I was even thinking with a differant bolt I could even do a 410 SG barrel for it.

Hi all,
I am now 27 and during my school years did a lot of swimming and running to a reasonable level, managing a 1,500m freestyle pb of 16:48 in the pool.
I am now considering entering some triathlons later in the year as I have been doing quite a lot of running over the last year, averaging around 50 miles a week and can feel my fitness coming back slowly.
If anyone has started swimming again after a similar 8/9 year gap, how long did it take to get back into it? Are we looking at months or years?! Obviously I'm not expecting to get back down to previous times, but possibly a 20 minute 1500m.
Any input would be much appreciated.
I doubt it will take you long to get back into it
your skills will still be there, it will be a matter of shaking off the cobwebs and getting back into some swim routines. you may also find that you won't be a huge deal slower to previous times and I reckon if you apoky yourself, then you'd be in the 18min league which will still be bloody quick for a triathlete!!

The site of a former senior care center in San Anselmo is targeted to become a high-end "sober living environment" for individuals recovering from substance abuse.
The former McGarr House at 931 San Anselmo Ave. has been leased by Kristina Wandzilak, the founder of San Anselmo-based Full Circle Intervention. Wandzilak, whose work as a drug interventionist has been the subject of a reality TV series on the Discovery Channel for the past two years, said she hopes to have the 19-bed center open within the next several months. A major remodel of the property is planned before that happens.
"It's been my life's purpose to provide support for others to recover," Wandzilak said, "and this is just an extension of that."
Sober living environments are typically the third stop on the path that recovering addicts take on their way back to a healthy life — after being released from a detoxification center, such as the Helen Vine Detox Center in San Rafael, and then graduating from a residential care center.
Wandzilak, who grew up in an affluent home in Marin County, wrote a book, "The Lost Years," about her own struggle with substance abuse, which began with a serious addiction to methamphetamines at age 15 and extended to her 21st birthday. Wandzilak, 41, has remained sober for the past 20 years. She founded Full Circle Intervention in 2008 and conducts three or four interventions a month.
"It's a thriving business," she said.
Wandzilak said the sober living environment she is creating in San Anselmo will be different from any other in Northern California. She said unlike other sober living environments that crowd several residents into one bedroom, her center would offer each resident a private bedroom and half-bathroom. Case managers would live onsite to provide guidance and support. Residents would receive help with educational, financial and occupational planning.
"Treatment is really important but where we lose great people is on the re-entry into life," Wandzilak said. "There is a huge gap between residential care and learning how to apply the skills we learn in residential care to everyday life."
She said because the facility is designed to offer additional support, it will cost more than typical sober living environments, which charge $900 to $1,200 a month. She declined to say how much more.
Because of Wandzilak's successful TV show, "Addicted," there has been speculation that she may be planning to film at the new center.
"I honestly don't have anything on the table at this point," Wandzilak said. "But we'll see. I'm always open to the possibility of creating some sort of educational process for the viewers."
Scott Dixon of San Rafael purchased the property about eight months ago. He said the senior care center that was there closed several months before that. Dixon said he is negotiating with Wandzilak to determine how extensive the remodel of the property will be. He estimated it could cost several hundred thousand dollars.
Town Manager Debra Stutsman said the center would be required to apply for a conditional use permit, which would be reviewed in a public hearing by the Planning Commission.
Wandzilak said she realizes some neighbors may be apprehensive about having a facility housing recovering addicts.
"There is such a stigma attached to being an addict," she said. "But addicts can recover and we do recover and we go on to live amazing and significant and purpose-driven lives."
Wandzilak said neighbors with questions about the project are free to call her at 747-8224 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
She said, "I invite the community to be part of this process."

Does Alamo really exist?
Original post made by Carter Dobbs, another community, on Jan 13, 2008
"Dear Neighbors,
I have been reading many messages from Alamo California that explain that Alamo is little more than a ZIP code. Does Alamo really exist?
Yahoo maps show Alamo California as a small area connected to a major city, Walnut Creek California. Is Alamo becoming neighborhoods in Walnut Creek?
Carter Dobbs"
ALAMO answers:
"Dear Carter and neighbors,
Alamo California is not a community where the majority of residents are active in community interests. Alamo is a collection of small neighborhoods that are their own community and culture. Among the younger majority, Walnut Creek is considered downtown and primary shopping and entertainment destination. Among the older, long-term residents, as a small minority in Alamo, Danville California is considered their downtown and cultural connection.
Walnut Creek is urban luxury with a large shopping area, Broadway Plaza, and excellent restaurants and entertainment. Danville remains under-developed as a retail and entertainment center and is surrounded by a sprawl of homes built in the last 10-15 years. Walnut Creek is an elegant part of the San Francisco Bay Area and Danville is Los Angelized sprawl without context in our Bay Area.
In general, leadership creates community and Alamo has none. The various community groups communicate with less that 700 of the 5400+ residences in Alamo. The county agencies and community council in Alamo have only a handful of participants and no major role in building a community among the majority of residents.
Thus, it is appropriate to say Alamo California does not exist as a community and is simply a ZIP code for a collection of neighborhoods."

Dear Neighbors,
Our community of Alamo Georgia has worked very hard to be inclusive of all neighbors. No matter circumstances, race, religion, or political point of view, we work together to keep our city vibrant and in service to all residents of our community. A community is the product of its people and not any one group's special interests.
If Alamo California is separated into small enclaves without a community spirit, we can illustrate congeniality and togetherness as a model to copy. Move forward in all communities to find a way forward together.
And finally, do not let any group serve foreign masters. Your community will become nothing you would support and nothing that would invite you to stay.

Dear Neighbors,
I am delighted to read Carise's sense of community. Most typically, California cities and towns do not have such cohesive consensus among their residents. Californians are not given to being part of a community and place their emphasis on lifestyle and personal points of view. Alamo California is not an exception and is a very good example of such lifestyle override of community and even neighborhood concerns.
Does Alamo exist beyond being a ZIP Code? Most residents do not see their lives within the boundaries of Alamo or defined by where they live. So one could conclude that each residence is independent of all others and defined by a mailbox in the 94507 ZIP Code.

Dear neighbors,
A community is not a destination defined by a ZIP code. A community is the willing spirit of the residents of a city, town or region to be together in planning their current and future needs and interests. A community is leadership that works to the needs and desires of community residents.
A ZIP code never defines a community. The people do!

Dear Neighbors,
Here in our diverse, small community of Poplar California, the efforts to define our community are cultural, due to our majority of Hispanics, and commercial, due to our agricultural economy. Our people work together to serve our community's economic future because it is a necessity.
There are many ways to define community including people living with a common need to prosper together.

Hello Neighbors,
I read the response to Carter with great interest in Danville California. After reviewing the Alamo Answer, I assumed that Danville was something less than what I discovered on the web. Certainly, our Danville's have much in common as we are both revitalizing our downtowns and engaging our residents in creating a stronger, more paticipatory community. For our Danville, the effort has been proactive by our revitalization organizations' outreach into the community of neighborhoods. The reward has been more engagement of neighborhoods in the design and services of our downtown, government, and recreational, arts and entertainment activities.
Outreach creates communities,

Dear Neighbors,
Your commentary reflects our subject of "What creates and defines a community." We agreed that economic, social, and lifestyle needs and interests are the driving force of community relations and outreach by residents and leadership alike create and define a community.
What hasn't been discussed is how political influence affects and impacts community consensus and trust. Sharon, in Alamo California, suggested that a community cannot exist under threat of political influence. David, in Poplar Wisconsin, noted that such threat of political influence should establish a strong community in defense of all residents.
What do you think?

What do I think?
I think this discussion is populated by Internet Trolls. An Internet troll is someone who posts controversial messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response.For a scholarly discussion of this phenomenon refer to the Wikipedia entry on such critters:
Web Link
The question arises however, "I am one, too?" Ron said with his grizzled chin and chiseled grin. But the response ringing down the communication wires is, "No, you are not a Troll. You are not feeding the Troll but exposing it for what it is.
With exposure,
Alamo Ron
P.S. Don't feed the Trolls.

Dear Ron and neighbors,
In any enlightened discussion, there is no baiting and only earnest discussion. In the postings selected are the scope of discussions and not their limitation. So, Ron and all neighbors, tell the forum readers your definition of community and how it is created. We will celebrate diversity of consideration and personal point of view.
After all, as one unpublished commentary noted, we are only personal observers of our surroundings and circumstances.
All thoughts are welcome and none are judged by All things Alamo & Pop(u)lar.

Not so fast, Hal,
Does Alamo California really exist? The answer is no.
Alamo is an inconvenient obstruction between Walnut Creek and Danville California that constricts traffic. It is too valuable a taxable asset to remove and too factional to organize for any resolution.
Alamo is a collection of neighborhods with most neighbors focused on their own self-interests. Depending on what you consider Alamo California, we are 6000 to 9000 mailboxes in 94507 and other Zip Codes and little else.
Thus, If I were symbolizing Alamo California, my postcard would have picture after picture of mailboxes.

You say that "In any enlightened discussion, there is no baiting." I'm sure glad to hear that because the following selection of comments from various sources in this forum topic must be unenlightened discussion:
"...not a community where the majority of residents are active in community interests"
"...leadership creates community and Alamo has none"
"...Alamo California does not exist as a community and is simply a ZIP code"

Dear neighbors,
Alamo California does exist with vitality drawn from its neighborhoods. The diversity of neighborhood interests does not overcome our neighborhoods working together, with consensus, to create community for our residents. Community groups, quite rightly, are a small part of our strength as a community. We join together as neighbors to create appropriate organizations for our children, ourselves and our senior neighbors.
We are a community that is connected in unique ways that does not include any central leadership. We focus on results at each level of community needs and create ways to serve success in those activities.
We are not sophisticated in our organization and we are not naive in our efforts. We only want enough structure to achieve benefit for the activities of our residents, neighborhoods and community.
Yes, Alamo California is a community,

There is a project slated for Ridgewood Rd that violates at least five county ordinances and ignores other county requirements that the county seems absolutely intent on approving. It will likely be greater than 35' from the bottom to the top of the roof, but we will never know because the county has not required an elevation from the applicant.
This project (post edited by Danville Weekly staff) is proposing a 5700 square foot house on a lot that has greater than 29% slope and is surrounded by, so far, unblemished oak ridgeland. Neighboring houses are no larger than 3600 sq ft. The average house is approximately 2000 sq ft.
The project puts neighboring houses at great risk for mudslides. The concerns of the neighbors have been ignored. We feel that we are sitting on a train track, bound, and waiting for the train to run us over.
Make no mistake, this could happen to you if you live in Alamo. It can happen in any neighborhood because the available land is either on the skyline or on the ridgeline.
Our local planning organization who works hard to preserve our quality of life and preserve it for the future have been unable to stop 257 outsize houses that have been constructed against their recommendations.
An appeal to our Supervisor, Mary Piepho was blown off. Issues surrounding the legitimacy of the process and the lack of public hearing were dismissed as merely issues to be considered in approving or denying the project.
We have no regional planning organization that is effectively looking after our interests. We will all suffer for this. It is time to have more care exercised on projects that have such a high impact and risk to the community.

Dear Alamo Granny. You need to mind your own business. If you don't like your neighbors, might I suggest that you move? I do know which project you are talking about and we/others in the neighborhood are delighted to have a house like this built in Alamo. How you ever considered moving to another part of town?

That is very cowardly of "Granny" to post a thing like this here without identifying herself. The fact that she is "Granny" should tell you something. I met the owner once as i drove past his lot. He actually purchased that lot last year. The problem is not with the owner but his next door neighbor. I think it is time for Granny to move to Florida and leave people alone. Maybe she will prefer hurricanes to mudslides. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Here is an update:
The people whom are making these postings are (post edited by Danville Weekly staff). They have had issues with neighbors before. I am one of them.
Yes, she is a granny thus the name Granny Alamo. She wears the pants around the house. Poor Fred has to follow her directions. The guy doesn't want to get involved in this dispute, yet he has to follow the wife's directions. I heard how they tried to buy this vacant lot that they are so opposed to.
They tried to buy it for literary next to nothing. (Pennies on the dollar). Obviously the previous owner rejected it.
Now they are all pissed and are giving this new home owner a hard time.
Shame on you.

Dear neighbors,
This forum chain started with a question from Poplar Branch NC. Through the exchange here on the Town Square Forum and among the e-chains of All things Alamo & Pop(u)lar, we concluded that Alamo California is a collection of neighborhoods and not a community. AS the commentary moved to actual issues within Alamo California neighborhoods, the question became do neighborhoods exist? The responses from a few neighbors would suggest that some areas of Alamo are not neighborhoods.
We are left with a question for further discussion, "Is Alamo CA only a ZIP code and a collection of mail boxes?" as several neighbors have suggested. It would appear that Alamo is seen by some as individual residences and not neighborhoods or a community.
Express your thoughts?

With all due respect, Alamo is full of people with hatred. They want their own space and want no one near them. Although they are not racist, they do not like anyone other then white people living in their city. I am sorry to have to put it that way.

Dear R.S.
Alamo is full of individuals with indifference toward neighbors that are not part of their factional cultures. In the silence of the Alamo Region are neighborhoods, as a majority of residents, gathering as neighbors in private, neighbor-to-neighbor communication and providing a welcoming voice to the majority of our community and alliance with communities and neighborhoods throughout Contra Costa.
Unfortunately, our Alamo Region is judged by the actions of community groups that are an extremely small minority that wish to define a community to their own cultural preferences and prejudices. That is indifference and not hatred. It is cultural prejudice and not a matter of race or greed.
It is a beautiful day in the neighborhoods!

Game of Thrones - Season 2 Episodes
Game of Thrones - Season 2
Season 2. Full Episodes Available on February 18. The cold winds of winter are rising in Westeros... war is coming... and five kings continue their savage quest for control of the all-powerful Iron Throne. With winter fast approaching, the coveted Iron Throne is occupied by the cruel Joffrey, counseled by his conniving mother Cersei and uncle Tyrion. But the Lannister hold on the Throne is under assault on many fronts. Meanwhile, a new leader is rising among the wildings outside the Great Wall.

Across the sea, Daenerys, her three young dragons and khalasar trek through the Red Waste in search of allies, or water. In the North, Bran presides over a threadbare Winterfell, while beyond the Wall, Jon Snow and the Night's Watch must shelter with a devious wildling.

After nine years as a Stark ward, Theon Greyjoy reunites with his father Balon, who wants to restore the ancient Kingdom of the Iron Islands.

Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) and Varys (Conleth Hill) find common ground. Dany ignores Jorah's (Iain Glen) advice. Stannis (Stephen Dillane) and Davos (Liam Cunningham) approach their destination, and Davos is offered a reward.

Brienne (Gwendolyn Christie) silences Jaime; Arya (Maisie Williams) receives a gift from Jaqen(Tom Wlaschiha); Dany (Emilia Clarke) goes to a strange place; and Jon (KitHarington) proves himself to Qhorin (Simon Armstrong).

This year's Shodan Challenge is now underway, with around 20 challengers hoping to achieve their goals over the next year.
Although the challenge has now officially started, people are still more than welcome to sign-up. However, do bear in mind that mentors have now been assigned, so it may not be possible to assign a mentor to you if you have not already registered.
We have a shortage of dan-level mentors, so in the case that more strong kyu players sign up, it would be very useful to have a couple more dan-level mentors available. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone dan-level who is willing to commit to being a mentor would email the organiser (Chris Bryant).
Best of luck to everyone - may the next twelve months bring success for all challengers.

Sans GCIH - To do or Not
I have been saving couple of bucks this year to spend on training. So decided i should look into Incident handling( which i have no experience ). Browsed sans course curriculum website, seems similar to a pen testing course. So I'm not sure that whether i should go for this course specially when I'm spending around 4k myself. Members over you have previously done this course could advise me " what exactly i would get out of the course" I'm really interested in incident handling.
Are there any better courses courses for incident handling ( I'm looking to get good knowledge don't care about the value of certification )
Should I be look into sans 408 ?? or ECIH
Please advice
