Flickr Roundup Holiday Edition
Happy Holidays!
My favorite ways to celebrate are to eat treats, drink nog, and make crafts for people I love! Maybe some of these awesome projects will inspire you to get crafty too!
Lace is always great around the holidays, and can bring some real elegance to your tree. These lace reindeer from Maria Migal are just lovely, and I especially love the decorative clasps she used for the articulation!
For something totally different in lace, these lace skullflake ornaments are the ultimate in Urban Threads holiday decor. Timewrinkler is always a fabulous embroidery muse!
This wintery muff makes me so happy. Eigennaht picked the perfect holly dolly to make it festive and sassy.
Gingerbread men napkins bring a smile to your face, then help you wipe off crumbs! My World Too stitched these delightful linens perfectly.
I love white Christmas trees, candy canes, and this Gingerbread man ornament by ceodraiocht!
Santa really is the ultimate Christmas ninja if you think about it. This ninja Santa stocking is by ChristiDL.
A whimsical Santa and a little gingerbread stocking stuffer make a great combination from cherrymerrymuffin.
These Yuletide Revelry cards were stitched by Klix Creations. They are so gorgeous, I hope their recipients stick them in little frames to display.
I love this steampunk santa throw pillow by lacerslife. So classy and full of holiday cheer!
Feeling a little grumpy but still want to make awesome crafts? PinkHarlott made this fantastic kitchen towel design to express the inner Scroge in all of us.
Naughty nog and cookies, elegantly hand stitched by Cecily of 28 Sides Designs.
This subdued holiday table runner by Storied Threads is charming and I love the draped ornaments.
I just found this old picture of Niamh in the flickr pool and thought it was great! moving on…
Coolest baseball pirate punk skull stocking in town, by a_kendra. I am really digging the pinstripes and yellow candy canes.
Robyn chose a lovely red velvet to stitch this sweet robot snowman stocking for Craig.
RalRay Embroidery stitched this skinny santa for a holiday gift trade!
These festive Woodland Wonderland applique shirts by Giliell are so delightful. What perfect gifts for the little ones.
Another version of the Bah Humbug design from Pam j is just the thing for people who aren't always feeling the Christmas spirit like everyone else, but still want to make something pretty. And how pretty is this?
I love tiny embroidery hoops made into ornaments. This clockwork reindeer by HauntedSummer really looks amazing.
Oh, how much do you want this to be a full size outfit? This stunning steampunk Christmas doll from Sew Fun Doll Clothes makes one think of Christmas caroling with a steampunk twist, with a little holly added to the pocket watch, a little steampunk Christmas accent, and of course, a lovely lace top hat.
I think the work speaks for itself! The crafting possibilities are endless when you combine thread, tinsel, cookies, nog and Urban Threads creativity. I hope everyone gets a good dose of holiday spirit and crafts up a storm this season. Giving away your homemade creations is the best!

Guilty plea likely in Miss Teen USA extortion case
Computer science student expected to enter guilty plea accused of extorting Temecula teen for nude photos
SANTA ANA, Calif. - A computer science student is expected to plead guilty to hacking the computers of Miss Teen USA and other young women to force them to send nude photographs or undress on camera for him.
Attorney Alan Eisner says his client, Jared James Abrahams, will enter his plea Tuesday in an Orange County courtroom. Abrahams agreed last month to plead guilty to three counts of extortion and one count of unauthorized access of a computer. He faces up to 11 years in federal prison.
Authorities say Abrahams hacked into the computers of Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf and several other women. Authorities say he was then able to control the webcams and surreptitiously photograph them.
Prosecutors say Abrahams posted a naked photo of Wolf online after he tried to extort her.

I finnaly snagged some free time now I am finished for the Summer with Uni to get the rest of these interviews done. Thankfully RP was free today to take the time out to do this one. RP is one of the users I find humorous so I decided to add some silly questions into this interview. Before the interview I believe RP bashed one out to clear his head and prepare for the onslaught of questions. I enjoyed doing this interview as it felt more relaxed than my last one.
Good Afternoon Ryan P.
Glad to have you in the hot seat! How's the day treating you so far?
No complaints, so far. It's early, I'm feeling fine, listening to The Doors and honored to be partaking in this interview with you. Thanks for having me.
My word, The Doors! You always been a fan? I'm kicking back to the Rock's Hollywood "heel" theme.
Awesome theme. Very catchy! Certainly a nice change from his standard upbeat 'Nation' remixes. But no, I've only been listening to them for about a month now. Absolutely loving them however.
1. Do you have an all time favorite band then? (Gun to the head question I know!)
I do; HIM. I know, some people will laugh at that, and rightfully so. They've been my favorite band for over ten years now, even through some of the awful albums they've put out in that time. Plus, all of the gothic teenage girls wearing their ugly merchandise kind of paints a bad picture.
Ah, Ville Valo's band. I used to be a fan. Mega balls for admitting it though. Which albums is your favorite from them? (Mines Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice)
Oh, you're familiar with them! Fantastic. 'Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights' for sure. My favorite album of all time actually. Really love anything of theirs from the 1996 EP through Deep Shadows, bootlegs included. Great concerts in those early years. I do enjoy 'Screamworks' and their latest, 'Tears On Tape' very much as well.
I never listened to TOT, I downloaded it ages ago but never unzipped it and played it, thanks for the excuse to play it on Spotify now
Absolutely! The album has a pretty soft, mellow sound to it. Easy to kick back and fall asleep to.
Sounds good so far,
2. So your bio says you work at Fed EX. Any memorable moments from work?
A lot of great memories. I won't bore you to death, but I've seen some pretty cool things, working outside and all. Not too far from our work group is the Indianapolis Airport hangar, where I saw Vince McMahon's beautiful black jet the day of a Smackdown taping, some years back. That was a very cool sight, about 500 feet away.
You won't bore any of us. I would not of wanted to leave that jet, until I saw him get on and fly away.
Haha, I know what you mean! Would have been cool to see him doing his famous strut into the plane.
3. So why did you choose Wrestling Forum as the place to post for the past three years over other sites?
But funny story. Actually, it's not funny at all. It's boring and uninteresting. I had been banned from Gamefaqs several times and I just wanted to talk wrestling. So I decided to Google "Wrestling forum". Lo and behold, there's a site called WrestlingForum.com. I signed up and the rest is history!
What were you banned for?
Just stupid teenage things. Making inappropriate jokes, thinking it was funny. But trust me, I've matured since then. Now I sit back and watch other people get banned, and laugh to myself.
That's the best part about a forum though, the trolling and stupidity of it all.
WF is serious business.
Absolutely agree with that. Like early hours this morning (American time), someone kept making accounts and posting ridiculous threads for a good two or three hours. Even posed as Headliner with one account. I won't lie. It was very stupid, but passed the time.
I saw a few of those threads; did the Headliner guy close his own thread?
(Headliner, <3)
Haha, great question!
4. What is the most beautiful thing you have seen or been a witness too?
My daughter being born. It was just incredible. Well, except for all of the bloody rags on the floor and intestines hanging out of my daughter's mother (C-section). But really, once she was born and they laid on her the table, checking all of her vitals, I was standing by and just in awe of how beautiful she was.
That's sweet, it does ring true that men say this about their children. Could you give me and the rest of WF some basic tips on parenting or tricks?
You're really putting me on the spot here! Something I've learned over the past two years as Hayden (my daughter) has grown is to find as many things to bond over with her. Whether it's a television show you both love and an activity, you can never have enough. Hell, my daughter got me back into Pokémon and we collect cards together now. Watching how excited she gets and her reactions to getting good cards is just priceless, because I remember the same excitement as a kid. The bond over things like that really adds so much to the relationship as a whole.
Thanks, always a pleasure to hear positive responses.
I hope my children can share the love of wrestling with me when I have them.
Time for some humor.
5. When did you parents realize you were no longer a virgin?
Haha, great question man... Well, when I was 19 years old, I started seeing a 36-year-old lady. She was a friend of my friend's mom. I think I flat out told my mom about it, thinking it would be funny. Obviously, she thought it was a little weird. My mom told me, "You know, all older ladies want from young guys is sex." I told her, "Yeah, I'm fine with that." Pretty sure it clicked right then for her. And apparently my dad didn't know anything about that until recently. So I guess, finding out he was going to be a grandpa was when he found out.
You were on a MILF? Your poor Mother :L
Hey, I genuinely liked her, but I knew what the deal was. Now I'm going to have to ask my mom how she felt about that situation, since you brought it up.
You made my day. How did the relationship end?
Well, I had met another girl (much closer to my age) who I really liked. The MILF (thanks for coining her as that) told me that I could date the other girl and just sleep with her... Yeah, nice lady, right? But after we slept together, I felt totally awkward about it, since it was my first time, and I'm guessing she had plenty of experience. I don't know, it was just weird to me after that and I never went back to her house. Slowly stopped talking to her. But she congratulated me on being a dad a year later, since she ended up working with and befriended my daughter's mother's mother.... Small, confusing world.
Reading that back, I really should have just used fake names, instead of the mother's mother's son's son's mess.
Very small world. Do you feel that the relationship you had with this "older lady" benefitted you as a person?
As awkward as it ended, I'd say I benefitted greatly from it. I had messed around with other girls, but Nikki (the MILF) was the first girl I had dated. I would get off of work and head to her house and just hang out or mess around. That really helped me relax about the whole idea and feel really comfortable. I mean, she was a really attractive MILF that was into me. My self-esteem and confidence really sky rocketed after this and led to a fantastic summer. She was a sweetheart though; kind of miss talking to her.
6. I have asked everyone this so far and will continue to do so: What is the one thing you feel WF should know about you?
(Tugs at shirt collar) This really is the hot seat, eh?! Oh, I know. TSE, a former user, was kind of a dumbass. And creepy. I started being nice to the guy, just for the hell of it, and he created this goofy forum stable, which I was by default added to. I just want everyone to know that I wanted no part of that. Do not judge me as you did TSE!!!
Lel, Did the stable accomplish anything?
Making an ass out of all of us. I think that's the only thing it accomplished. He was certainly out there, so I don't know what his thought process was with the stable idea. I mean, it's a fucking forum. Are we going to gang up and red rep someone as a group?
Sure why not? It's been done before I believe?
7. What would you name your autobiography?
"Blowjobs for Buys: The Ryan Pelley Story" I mean, I did promise blowjobs for votes on this interview series... Which I guess I have to live up to. Honestly, I don't know really. I don't think I have a pun I could work into a book name, that relates to my life. "Chrome and Fid Live Kinda Close To Me: The Ryan Pelley Story" might work.
I'd promote the hell out of those.
You're telling me you never even gave those who voted their worth in a BJ?
I appreciate the support! And no, I haven't...
8. Any shoutouts to make whilst here?
Absolutely. A shoutout to "Perfect Poster." Sorry for calling you an "Inbred faggot" and getting banned for a week. Forgiveness, please.
Peace to all.
9. Who are you dying to meet?
I'm going to be corny and cliché and say 'my future wife.' Cue the tacky music to go with that. There's truth behind that, wanting to build a real family for Hayden and myself.
But there are certain wrestlers that I would love to sit and talk to for just a little bit. I don't think I would go into nosey, annoying mark mode, asking them about booking decisions and shit. Bret Hart, Edge, Chris Jericho would be at the top of my list. They all seem like great guys, plus being a huge fan of all 3.
Is there anyone in sight at the moment or are you still searching?
I'm not "searching" per say, but I wouldn't mind just meeting someone casually. I just don't go out enough anymore.
10. Your biggest turn off?
I have a few turnoffs, can't really pick just one. Typing or speaking like an idiot is a huge one. Grammar / spelling Nazi all the way. I just like girls who don't come off as unintelligent. Also, bad hygiene, bad manners and generally trashiness. Those are things that will kill my interest in a heartbeat.
Pretty much the normal, at least you have standards. As much as I detest those things nothing really stops me, except hygiene. You gotta be clean.
Agree 100%. I'm not shallow when it comes to looks, but please, just shower and take care of yourself.
11.First thing you did this morning?
I woke up wide awake at 4am this morning and watched two episodes of Boy Meets World. A college professor made a move on Topanga, but Corey pushed him down, nearly getting himself kicked out of college!!
12. Do you know how you will die?
Probably a bad illness. I've had pneumonia 10 times and I have asthma. My lungs will eventually give out on me. Though, dying in a heroic fashion would be cool. Like Sebastian in 'Cruel Intentions', you know.
I hope not, no idea how Sebastian went out....
Oh, well he and Ronald were fighting over something that Kathryn lied about. Annette tries stopping them, but gets knocked into the street, with a car about to hit her. Sebastian pushes her out of the way and gets hit by the car, dying basically in her arms. Touching and heroic. <3
Single tear rolls down my face
13. What do you need to do but keep putting off?
Getting back into shape. I've been eating terribly for years now and put on too much weight. I'm too lazy about it and just keep saying, "Eh, I'll start next month." It's time to get back into my 'MILF seducing days' shape.
That's definitely the hardest thing to do, solo as well. I made it 4 months with no sweets/ sugary drinks etc. and caved at Christmas. Have not been able to get back on the horse and try again.
Ahh man, Christmas time is the worst when it comes to bad food!.
Will you lose that weight?
At this rate, I probably won't, to be honest
14. Worst thing you have done?
I used one girl who liked me to make another girl completely jealous, for my own selfish reasons. I still feel awful about that.
Ouch, who hasn't done that though?
15. What would you like to know about the future?
I just want to know that my daughter will be all right growing up. She's all I have, so naturally, I'm over protective. But I just worry about her so much. As long as she has a long, healthy, happy life, I will be fine.
But I guess it wouldn't hurt to also know if and when I'll get married. Maybe having other kids? Who knows?
16. Have you heard of Dash Con?
No, I haven't. Who or what is it?
(From Facebook):
"Ok so this post is an interesting one and a lot of you requested it. If you haven't heard yet Tumblr dwellers tried to make their own con up, as imagined it was a complete failure. So we'll basically sum it all up best we can for you all to laugh at them. So basically some tumblr dwellers try and make up their own con calling it Dashcon, tickets for one day was $45 for the whole weekend was $65, the 'organizers' of dash con told every one the hotel they were hosting the con in wanted $17k or the con would be stopped because they didn't put a payment schedule in their hotel reservation contract, so tumblr users actually raised 17k for the con to stay open, and when people asked the hotel the hotel told them they didn't demand that money from them (so they got scammed by someone), it was said 7-8 thousand people would come but only 1 thousand people showed up, they supposedly booked Welcome to Night Vale to be there but when they couldn't pay them they walked out lol, there was ball pit and a bouncy castle there and apparently someone urinated in the ball pit, all the panels had to pay for their own hotel rooms and to top it all off the 'events' where all cringe worthy as fuck, typical crap you'd expect tumblr dwellers to like for example dramatic fanfic readings,homoerotic subtext and even Mental health support. We'll leave you with a bunch of links to more info about this disaster of a con for our sources.
(raw autism in that video right there)
I don't know what to say... Just wow. Should I feel sorry for these people or is it okay to laugh at them? Just ridiculous!
Both, I have nothing against the "Bronys" as what I am a fan of is also lolzworthy. However Dash Con is not the place to be.
I can see that from the video of everyone singing "We Are The Champions." I'm pretty sure that's not the best song to sing at such a pathetic gathering.
17. What was the last lie you told?
Last night. My friend's girlfriend offered me some nasty food for dinner. I was hungry, but told her I wasn't.
What had she made?
She actually got food for she and my friend from a local restaurant. It's a Cajun place that just makes different rice dishes. I've heard bad things, and it looked like vomit.
Fair play.
18. What was the most expensive thing you have brought?
My 1996 Ford Explorer! She's falling apart now, but still reliable. Paid $2,800 in cash for it.
19. What is your one hope for WF?
I can only hope for more trolls, more Smarkbusters videos, more bans and more intense arguments.
20. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to do this interview as well as being so honest. How do you feel now it's over?
Thanks for having me! And thanks for everyone for wanting blowjobs enough to vote for me. This was a lot of fun, sitting here for the past two and a half hours or so. Some of those questions really put me on the spot. Glad that those are out of the way now.
No problem buddy. (I should have voted for you...) Once again thank you!
I will be back soon with another interview later this week if time and other constraints allow. Possibly two. Please PM me some questions you want people to answer and let me know your thoughts on this interview. If there is anyone you want to see interviewed be them a former/banned member let me know or ask them to apply.
If you want to see these interviews in audio form then ask for it I have plans in my mind already to do a few Podcast interviews with music and more! For example when RP mentioned the band HIM and his favourite album we could then play one of those tracks.
Thanks for reading.

Sexing Religion in the Narratives: creating spaces of sexual dissent in the media HTML version
Sexing Religion in the Narratives: creating spaces of sexual dissent in the media
Mary Louise G. Dumas
MA candidate, Media, Peace and Conflict Studies
UN-mandated University for Peace
Media's greatest power is its ability to create and re-create reality, exclude or include bits
and pieces that compose the truth for humanity. Even in a globalizing network of
communication, the information that comes from one point of the world and is delivered in
another could not exactly show the entire context of its origin. The process by which it is
selected, encoded and transmitted is still very dependent on the messenger.
Carruthers (2000) has pointed out the 'CNN effect' wherein the selection of news, the
angling of the stories, and the various editorial policies can affect the decisions of the policy-
makers as the information they receive shape their perception of what is happening.
Instead of discussing on what the media have failed to show, however, this paper
focuses on some of what I would be referring to as 'marginalized realities' that the media have
in fact picked up and is slowly taking a space in the picture of reality. It specifically centers on
the conflict between human sexuality and the constructs of religion as the theme is treated in a
powerful artistic medium of communication – the movie.
Marginalized realities, to give a definition, are issues that exist but are refused their
existence by censorship and information filtering. Religious norms highly influence social
exclusions and conflicts. But instead of maintaining the status quo on gender biases and sexual
repressions, I believe that the cinema can be used to challenge it and bring about a new norm
more cognizant of the modern situation.
Some of the movies I have selected are adaptations from books and from time to time I
would refer to the books which could give further situational or character backgrounds, its

Our Golden Age
Why we may be experiencing one after all:
Never has there been less hunger, less disease or more prosperity. The West remains in the economic doldrums, but most developing countries are charging ahead, and people are being lifted out of poverty at the fastest rate ever recorded. The death toll inflicted by war and natural disasters is also mercifully low. We are living in a golden age.Progress isn't dependent on government. This bears repeating...
To listen to politicians is to be given the opposite impression — of a dangerous, cruel world where things are bad and getting worse. This, in a way, is the politicians' job: to highlight problems and to try their best to offer solutions. But the great advances of mankind come about not from statesmen, but from ordinary people. Governments across the world appear stuck in what Michael Lind, on page 30, describes as an era of 'turboparalysis' — all motion, no progress. But outside government, progress has been nothing short of spectacular.

"This new translation of the Bhagavad Gita comes as close to the liveliness, topicality, and flow of the original as any I have seen. Professor George Thomson has more than twenty years of experience teaching it to students. His Introduction explains the Yoga of the Gita. It is learned without being heavy. Notes and bibliography are helpful and succinct. I recommend this translation without reservation to scholars and teachers of Sanskrit and to beginning students of Indian culture. It remains the most popular book of one of the largest and most creative civilizations of the contemporary world." Frits Staal, Professor Emeritus, University of California at Berkeley
"The Bhagavad Gita is and has always been a must read for anyone interested in India, ancient or modern. No wonder it has been translated and re-translated into so many languages, English being perhaps the most frequently used medium. Dr. Thompson's translation is truly novel, because not only does it render the poem's Sanskrit quite differently, but also offers groundbreaking interpretations of many stanzas, even well-known ones. It retains poetic qualities of the original and is a genuine pleasure to read. Moreover, it fully meets expectations that even the most demanding readers of our time have come to count on in an academic translation: it is precise and thoroughly researched. The translation and commentary testify to the author's ample erudition. Compelling comments will no doubt be of great service to inquisitive minds who would want to understand the author's approach to translating some of the most difficult Sanskrit passages that are rendered masterfully. I wholeheartedly recommend this translation to all readers." Boris Oguibenine, Professor, Université Marc Bloch de Strasbourg
"George Thompson brings his fine-tuned sense of poetic language and his deep knowledge of the Indian, especially Vedic, religious tradition to this fresh and vigorous new translation of this foundational text." Stephanie W. Jamison, Professor of Asian Languages and Cultures, UCLA
"With this elegant, new rendering of The Bhagavad Gita, George Thompson has achieved the seemingly impossible: his translation is accurate, yet readable; written in crisp, straightforward prose, but filled with poetic brilliance; accompanied by a learned introduction and valuable commentary, both of which are informed by profound Indological scholarship that illuminates rather than intimidates. In short, this is a gem that will be appreciated by anyone who wishes to familiarize himself or herself with one of the world's greatest religious and philosophical classics. It will be of particular interest to those who are studying or practicing Yoga, but will also be warmly welcomed by anyone who wishes to learn more about traditional Indian culture and thought." Victor H. Mair, Professor of Chinese Language and Literature Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, University of Pennsylvania
"The Bhagavad Gita has been used in numerous ways from Gandhi to proponents of nuclear war. The central issue is one of belief strong enough to override any other consideration, including one's own death. George Thompson's translation is clear and luminous; it opens a space of engagement that other translations often miss. I was able to read and think about the Gita as a contemporary text, one arguing in relation to our concerns as well as those of ancient Hinduism. Thompson's introduction brings out both the background of the Gita and its current relevance. His translation presents the philosophical/ethical issues that underly it and brings the Gita to life and to relevance both as historic document and contemporary discourse. This version seems lucid and true and wonderful; everyone should read it." Alan Sondheim, West Virginia University, Center for Literary Computing
"George Thompson's new translation of The Bhagavad Gita is a gift to teachers, students and seekers. The prose is lucid, lively and admirably literal. The key metaphors are skillfully rendered, the core teachings precisely delineated; most important, the philosophical and spiritual radiance of the original shines through." Carol Zaleski, Professor of World Religions, Smith College

If you've been around in business since the turn of the century (I like saying that. Makes me feel old and experienced) then some of what we see going on in the world may remind you of the most recent downturns in the economy.
Air strikes on terrorist targets, lofty stock market, political climate, unemployment, income disparity. There is a lot to compare to the Dotcom Bust and the Financial Crisis. But things are different now and I believe we are in decent shape going forward. It's…Continue

Success comes, in large part, from luck. Michael Lewis recently gave a commencement speech at Princeton and this was his theme.
I found the speech and the stories circulating about it interesting. I like Lewis and think he has some good perspective on a number of issues. The circumstances we were born into and much of what affects our lives in a very basic way is certainly just luck. In recruiting we deal with luck all the time. There are so many moving parts and so many issues…Continue

Someone asked me last week how business is. When I told them it was great, they said that is really good because they see us as a leading indicator. I don't really see us as a leading indicator and after giving it some thought I think there is a general misunderstanding of what our market is.
As third party recruiters, the overall job market is not our market. The overall job market still stinks. Unemployment is way too high and the long-term unemployment numbers are terrible.…Continue

I don't mean to be rude But its called time to go to the vet. Home remedys DO NOT WORK. And can make your dogs skin worse. DO NOT put any think on your dog with out going to the vet. You might can call your vet and he or she might can tell you what you can do or just sell you so meds or a shampoo.

Your dog needs to be seen by a vet. If you are worried about the cost, find an animal charity who will see your dog for a nominal fee.
In the UK, we have something called the PDSA, which treats animals for a fraction the cost of a normal vet.
Don't use over-the-counter remedies without a diagnosis. This could make matters worse.
Your dog could be suffering from anything from a flea allergy to cancer, so do the right thing, and take her to a vet for a proper examination.

The vet can give you meds/ creams/ antibotics for it. Sounds like a hot spot alot of females get this. Usually in the rump area.
It is best to go to vet doesn't cost much for cream or antibotics:)

Using over the counter products We use isn't a good idea, plus Your pup could be allergic to medicine. Take your pup to a Vet for sure. could be allergic to Flea's, Food, even dust. And do call around too as some Vets will waive the Office call, if your a 1st timer. So be discourged but do see a Vet asap.
Hope you find one soon and do ask for Help, alot of Vets understand more then you think.

UTSA Mexico Center co-sponsors Oct. 28 panels on Mexican migration to United States
By Kareem El Dahab
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(Oct. 11, 2005)--The UTSA Mexico Center, UNAM San Antonio (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico), CISAN (Centro de Investigaciones sobre America del Norte), CEPE (Centro de Ensenanza Para Extranjeros) and PUEG (Programa Universitario de Estudios de Genero) will host "Mexican Migration to the United States," a seminar with two panel discussions, accompanied by an art exhibit.
The daylong event, which begins at 9 a.m., Oct. 28 at UNAM San Antonio, 600 HemisFair Park, is free and open to the public. For planning purposes, please call (210) 222-8626 to reserve seats.

The morning panel will discuss gender, society and culture, and the afternoon panel will discuss the political economy and human rights. There will be opportunities for audience questions during each session.
Following the panel discussions from 5 to 6 p.m. is an exhibit on loan from Princeton University, "Miracles on the Border," a collection of ex-votos by Mexican migrants. Ex-votos (or retablos) are Mexican and Mexican American folk art paintings on copper or tin created by Mexican immigrants and their relatives. The paintings depict scenes of an event and represent a thank-you, miracle or supplication (prayer request) for a favor granted by a saint, the Virgen de Guadalupe, or El Sagrado Corazon (the Sacred Heart).
Panelists and moderators
Mario Melgar Adalid, UNAM San Antonio director will welcome participants and introduce the keynote speaker, Maria Jimenez, director of the Immigration Law Enforcement Monitoring Project.
The first panel, which is on gender, society and culture, will be moderated by Juan Ramon de la Fuente, UNAM president, with panelists Amalia Dolores Garcia Medina, governor of the State of Zacateca, Mexico; Harriett Romo, director of the UTSA Mexico Center and UTSA associate professor of sociology; Manuel Ruiz de Chavez, president of Fundacion Mexicana para la Salud; Maria Isabel Belausteguigoitia, director of PUEG; and Martha I. Lara, consul general of Mexico in San Antonio.
The second session on political economy and human rights will be moderated by Jose Luis Valdes, director of CISAN, with panelists Claire Joysmith, CISAN; Amy Casso and Petra Mata, Fuerza Unida; Francisco Arguelles, Houston, Texas, activist; and Jaime Carrera, Secretaria de Hacienda y Credito Publico.

In a world already awash in screens, do any of us really need another one? Especially one that only displays art? Jake Levine thinks so.
With his new company Electric Objects, Levine's aiming to bring digital art into your home. The effort takes the form of EO1, a custom-built display housing a barebones computer that links up wirelessly to a web platform. Log on, select a work of art from the database or upload an image you've found yourself, and in seconds it shows up big and bright on your wall. You can think of it like a more sophisticated version of one of those digital picture frames from years back–or, more enticingly, as a canvas for a new age, one in which the world's creative energy is increasingly being spent in pixels, not paint.
The project, now on Kickstarter, was born of Levine's growing disenchantment with the internet as we know it. The web, he became convinced, had driven us to a state of addled distraction. What's more, our hardware was complicit in the crime.
It's hard to argue with his take. While today's do-everything devices have given us fantastic new tools for creation and expression, they inevitably have a flattening effect on the stuff they display. Pictures, photographs, tweets, and articles all get homogenized into content to be consumed. All the while, distractions ping and whir, vying for our attention. Our machines may let us do everything, but that doesn't mean they let us do everything well, especially when it comes to things that aren't suited for quick hits in streams or tabs.
One thing that falls squarely in that category? Art. Levine, a member of the team who successfully revitalized the social news site Digg last year, came to believe that the utilitarian bent of modern computers was keeping us from fully appreciating all the beauty those same machines bring into the world. "To us there's this 20, 30, 40 year trend of artists exploring the boundaries of digital creation and distribution," Levine says. "But the devices we use today just can't live up to that. They weren't designed for contemplation–they were designed for interaction and productivity and entertainment." Imagine if you could only experience MP3s while sitting at your laptop, listening through its crummy built-in speakers as some Kia ad blared on in a different window. That's basically the ignominious existence of much visual art on the internet today.
"The goal is to have a relationship with this screen that's akin to the relationship with a painting or a photograph."
With Electric Objects, Levine wanted to build a new kind of machine, one that would let people live with digital works instead of simply offering access to them. In a broader sense, it's an effort to explore a more passive mode of consumption–an attempt to envision what the internet might look like when it's not driven by the forces of advertising. It's also a bid to build a piece of consumer electronics that soothes us, instead of agitating us. As Levine puts it, "this thing should never be a source of anxiety or distraction. The goal is to have a relationship with this screen that's akin to the relationship with a painting or a photograph."
The process began, rather unglamorously, with a cheap external monitor. Electric Objects' first run of prototypes–one of which I've had in my apartment for the last month and a half–was a no-name display hooked up to a Raspberry Pi (Levine and co. included helpful instructions for prying the screen from its plastic casing for a more streamlined look.) After founding the company early this year, Levine quickly raised $1.7m in VC funding, hired Zoë Salditch, a former program director at digital art non-profit Rhizome, and tapped Ben Pieratt, the designer behind the much-loved and recently-shuttered product discovery site Svpply, to put together a rough version of an Electric Objects site. Eventually, the team grew to include Bill Cowles, an industrial designer, and Jacob Bijani, Tumblr's longtime creative director, who's now serving as head of product.
The hardware was in some sense the easy part; the screen is essentially intended to be an unobtrusive frame for whatever it's displaying. Still, arriving at the final design involved testing a slew of graphics cards, figuring out the best solutions for stands and mounts, and even sourcing a power cord that was a little more elegant than your average flat screen's–a "necessary evil" of a connected canvas, as Levine puts it.
The greater challenge for Levine and his team will be figuring out the web component. In addition to letting you select new pieces to display, the plan is for the Electric Objects website and mobile apps to serve as a sort of community and storefront for digital art. That last bit, especially, is uncharted territory.
While screen owners will be able to display whatever images they find around the web for free, the platform will include a marketplace that lets people pay for works made available by artists themselves. "We've decided that we need to plant a flag when we launch and say, 'this content is worth dollars,'" Levine says. The team is yet to pin down a pricing model, but technically speaking, the artistic possibilities are manifold. The final hardware will support not only static images but also video pieces, WebGL animations, and potentially even data-driven visualizations and other generative works, and a handful of artists are already busy creating works expressly for Electric Objects. In a sense, you could think of it not just as a new canvas but as a new medium unto itself.
Before long, I'm sure I'll start thinking of it as the natural habitat for many of these works.
All that said, the appeal of Electric Objects won't be obvious to all. At a point when we've grown accustomed to electronics doing more and costing less, a $500 digital art screen might seem like an extravagance, to put it gently. (Early supports on Kickstarter can snag one for $300, and compared to a framed print, it ain't really that bad anyway.)
Still, I was an instant convert, as I imagine many others who already seek out the arts on their computers will be. Having lived with the early version of Electric Objects for just short stretch, it's hard to imagine not having this sort of screen in my home going forward. Taking stuff I've seen only in the context of a busy web browser and giving it the chance to luxuriate on my wall has been a unique pleasure. Before long, I'm sure I'll start thinking of it as the natural habitat for many of these works.
And then there's that bigger idea going on–the one concerned with finding alternatives to today's machines and the insane digital metabolism they engender. There, too, my trial run was a success. I still pull to refresh all my apps like a madman, sure. But in the six weeks I've had my prototype set up, I've displayed exactly two images. Just two! They remained there not because I was lazy or forgetful but simply because they seemed fresh every time I turned the thing back on. And that, to me, gets at what's ultimately so exciting about Electric Objects. It's the only screen I own that doesn't make me itch for something new just for the sake of seeing something new.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

There is a disease of large breed, growing puppies called panosteoitis, or long bone disease. It is also called wandering bone disease since it usually goes from leg to leg. The good news... dogs normally recover from it with no ill effects on their own with no treatment at all! However, it should have shown up on the x-rays as fuzzy areas along the long bones of his legs and shoulder. Some vets do not recognize this on an x-ray, particularly if they have not seen it before.
I would give the vet a call and ask them to please check the x-rays again for this problem. Good luck!
Member 641257 answered on 3/15/10. Helpful? / 0
I agree, it sounds just like Pano. Vets don't always spot it on xrays, and it doesn't always show up on xrays anyway, especially mild cases. One trick you can try is to pinch the long bone of the sore leg (like if you were to pinch your shin). If you get a pain reaction, it's very likely Pano. Pano typically comes and goes, and rotates between legs. He will grow out of Pano without any treatment. Keeping his weight down and feeding a good quality food with low calcium will help tremendously!
Isy answered on 3/15/10. Helpful? / 0
Is he an American Pitbull or actually an American Bully? Ambully's are sometimes prone to joint issues due to the fact that they are carrying way too much weight on their short legs. You said that the vet believes he is too heavy for his age and you said it is mainly his neck and chest area but said it started in his front legs first. I would seriously watch how much he weighs.
The standard for an APBT's weight is only 35-60lbs for males.

Iron-on repair fabric. Provides strong, flexible, permanent repairs for neoprene. Lined with Barritex™ for extra abrasion resistance. Iron Mend may be used to repair neoprene dry suits, wet suits, waders, neoprene gloves and boots, orthopedic supports, and lycra body suits. Includes: 10" x 6" Knee-Pad Patch, Reusable Heat Shielding and Detailed Instructions.
• REPAIRS IN SECONDS with your ordinary household iron.
• PROTECTS AGAINST ABRASION with BARRITEX™ protective lining.
• STRETCH FABRIC. Allows flexibility and comfort.
• INCREASES GARMENT LIFE. Protects your investment.
• HEAT PROTECTION with reusable heat shielding paper.
IDEAL FOR NEOPRENE DRY SUITS*, WADERS* AND WET SUITS. Also for neoprene gloves, boots and accessories, orthopedic supports, lycra body suits and other non-neoprene articles. Hundreds of uses including personal 'I.D.' marking and numbering systems.
BARRITEX PROTECTIVE LINING - BARRITEX is an abrasion resistant yet flexible and waterproof substrate which is an integral part of IRON MEND repair fabric for neoprene. The BARRITEX layer is 'sandwiched' between IRON MENDs nylon fabric surface and its bottom layer of urethane adhesive. BARRITEX is designed to help increase neoprene life especially when IRON MEND is used to protect against abrasion.
IRON MEND HEAT SHIELDING PAPER - IRON MEND Heat Shielding Paper is a unique reusable and heat stable paper used to protect neoprene garments from excessive heat. IRON MEND Heat Shielding Paper allows heat to pass through its surface yet it creates a buffer to help prevent scorching of fabric. IRON MEND should not be used without heat shielding paper. The full sheet of our shielding paper should be used during all IRON MEND repairs (regardless of repair size) to help protect surrounding neoprene from potential damage from overheating.
1. Wash and completely dry neoprene article. NOTE: All neoprene articles may be cleaned with McNett Wetsuit and Drysuit Shampoo.
2. Pre-heat Iron. Set iron temperature to ACRYLIC setting. NOTE: This setting may be LOW or DELICATE on some irons.
Do not use steam. Do not use travel size irons.
IMPORTANT WARNING: DO NOT OVERHEAT IRON. ALWAYS USE IRON MEND™ HEAT SHIELDING PAPER BETWEEN IRON SOLE PLATE AND AREA TO BE REPAIRED. IRON SHOULD NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH NEOPRENE SURFACE. An overheated iron may cause damage to neoprene. Never use an iron heated beyond the recommended settings or above 275ÀöF (135ÀöC). Iron should be in good mechanical condition, free of unexpected temperature fluctuations. To test heat settings, pre-test with a small piece of IRON MEND on a non-critical part of the garment, eg.; inside leg or sleeve.
3. Cut IRON MEND with scissors to overlap damaged area by 3/4 inch. Put damaged garment on firm, flat surface prior to repairing. Place IRON MEND patch over the damaged area with the urethane coating side down.
4. Place full sheet IRON MEND heat shielding paper carefully over IRON MEND patch.
5. With preheated iron, press IRON MEND down with firm even pressure for 10 seconds. Lift and rotate iron and apply for another 10 seconds. Allow repair to cool for a few minutes before testing for secure adhesion.
6. Some repairs may require a second heat application process with more pressure

"A what! A homemade mirror stand to hold up the mirror. Great idea. This would be so cute and pretty in a girls room on her dresser or even on a make-up table. This paper has a shine to it so it reminds me of something a princess would have. If you have some mirrors around the house or look at yard sales or thrift,grab a fun foam core and some holographic(neverseen that before, but it is beautiful)paper and have a craft day with the girls. Imagine how they will feel when they complete this beauty. So simple and fast. Thanks."
"I know the roses with the news print you are talking about they are absolutely stunning. I wondered how they were made. I think these paper roses do look so real but even after watching the video the look a little complicated. Did your daughter find them easy to do? Does she have any advice? Have you tried to make any? They can be used in so many ways."
"Oh my. This is a must see for anyone with an upcoming summer outdoor or beach wedding. I love this Blooming hat. Can't find what you want your bridesmaid to wear on their heads than here is a beautiful hat that you can design yourself.Pick out the colors of flowers and even add some lace or a bow and when wedding is over they can wear the hat again or just make one for yourself to wear for a special outing. Super idea and nicely done."
"What! I absolutely love this idea to make a butterfly flower seed favors for a different party twist. I like the idea to plant flowers to remember a special occasion or even just to remind you of butterflies. I like that you can use the color theme in the pipe cleaners or use the glitter ones for some shine for the body. Thanks for the great idea."
"I remember making some flowers out of tissue paper I think in girl scouts when I was little but have not made any out of napkins. This looks like a good idea to use on tables for a wedding,baby shower or even for your own table and looks like they would be fun to make too. Great summer project for the kids or grandkids. I know it will be on my list."

- Dicrofibers: Fluff fibers, Gildenglitz, & Mica Flakes onto pressing parchment. Cover with laminate. Cover with parchment and press. Trim and embellish with cut-out small paper flowers and gold cord. Adhere to Art Canvas using Great Tape.
- Mica Rings: Paint Art Canvas using Perfect Pigments. Let dry. At the top half of the card, use Duo Adhesive with a detail brush and paint small lines onto painted surface. Let dry (Duo will dry tacky). Apply Gildenglitz – Gold to tacky areas, burnish excess off using a Texture Sponge. On the bottom half of the card adhere dried flowers using Perfect Paper Adhesive. Attach Mica Rings of all sizes to the card using Perfect Paper Adhesive – Gloss.
- Fine Liner: Fill Fine Liner Calligraphy Pen with Duo Adhesive. Let dry. Apply Jewelz Sparkling Mica Pigments to tacky areas using a detail brush. Remove excess powder using a soft brush. Stamp & emboss flower image. Paint in using MicaColor Watercolor.
- PPA Napkin Collage: Paint the Art Canvas using a brush or sponge with Perfect Pigment®. Paint one or several colors, and let them dry. Adhere pretty papers or paper napkins, using PPA-Matte or Gloss. When complete, use PPA-Gloss as your finishing coat.
- Mica Tile Encapsulation: Use Perfect Paper Adhesive to adhere a picture, face down onto a Mica Tile and let dry. Use fancy letters, beads, & charms to embellish and finish this Art Canvas.
- Great Tape: Run ribbons of Great Tape covering every part of the piece of Art Canvas. Use opposing fingers and gently rub the tape in two directions. By controlling the direction and amount of rubbing, the tape begins to resemble lace. Some papers require more pressure than others. (Great Tape is repositionable for about 1 hour, giving you plenty of time to do the rubbing. After that, it gradually becomes more permanent). Sprinkle on Mica Flakes for texture and color. To firmly adhere them, pat the flakes with your fingers. Apply gilding leaf and burnish off the excess using a Texture Sponge. Save all the tiny bits for another project.
- PPA Enameling: Begin by applying Great Tape™ to every area of the matboard. Cut old greeting cards, scraps of decorative paper, or scrapbook paper, fitting them together like a jigsaw puzzle. Apply the pieces to the sticky matboard. Trim the edges with sharp scissors. Carefully apply a wash of MicaColors ™ to the entire piece, filling in any little gaps and coating the Art Canvas edges to finish it nicely. Quickly wipe off excess MicaColors™ from the shiny papers or topmost surfaces. Apply an exceedingly generous coat of Perfect Paper Adhesive™ - Gloss to the entire surface and allow it to dry thoroughly. Mount it on layers of cardstock and apply the finished piece to a card, using Great Tape™.
- Mica D'Lights: Stencil 101 Artist's Cement-Heavy onto a piece of Art Canvas. While still wet sprinkle Mica D'Lights in several colors over the Artist's Cement. Let dry, and brush excess D'Lights off. Using a MicaColor Palettes paint flowers underneath dragonfly.
Note: All Art Canvas can be outlined with a Krylon Leafing Pen or Foil-It Tape.

And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost."
James Moore remembers the time when he was seven years old and got lost at the Ringling Brothers Circus. It was a frightening experience for a seven-year-old boy in a crowd of over twenty thousand. Jim and his older brother, Bob, went to the concession stand to buy some cotton candy. People were pushing and pressing toward the counter. Since Bob was taller he was waited on first. After Bob got his cotton candy he stepped aside for his brother. Just then loud laughter came from the arena. Bob wanted to see what was going on. Certainly he didn't mean to leave his small brother alone. He simply got caught up in the excitement listening to the crowd laugh at the clowns.
Little Jim also got his cotton candy and then he looked around for his big brother. His brother was gone. In that moment of panic nothing looked familiar to this little fellow. He was lost. At that point he wondered if he would ever see his family again. "I started to run," he recalls, "trying to fight back the tears. Everyone was laughing loudly at the antics of the clowns, but they weren't funny to me at that moment." In this young boy's moment of panic and confusion he thought, "How can they laugh at a time like this? How can they laugh when I feel so lost?"
Just then Jim felt a touch on his shoulder. He turned around and saw his father. "My father had come after me and had found me. He held me down, reassured me, then bought me a Coke, a hot dog, a Yo-Yo, a lizard, a little stuffed bear, and a candy apple. I learned a valuable lesson that day: Being lost is terrible...being found is wonderful!"
Have you allowed our Father in Heaven to find you?

A once-a-year chance to discover architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours, events and activities that bring local history and culture to life for free!
Heritage Open Days celebrates England's architecture and culture by allowing visitors free access to interesting properties that are either not usually open, or would normally charge an entrance fee. It also includes tours, events and activities that focus on and celebrate the local heritage of the area. Heritage Open Days is England's biggest and most popular voluntary cultural event and is also held in a further 48 countries across Europe.
Since 1994 the Heritage Lincolnshire has co-ordinated Heritage Open Days within the county. So far there have been over 1,000 events in the 21 years that we've been managing the programme! In 2015 Lincolnshire's Heritage Open Days attracted over 20,000 visitors to its 125 free events. Over 500 volunteers and 90 staff helped to make the 2015 programme a great success.
This year's festival will be our biggest yet, with over 180 free events! The theme is 'Natural Lincolnshire' and the brochure will be launched at the Lincolnshire Show on 22nd June. It will also be available from libraries, tourist information centres and heritage sites across the county. You will also be able to download a printable copy from this website.

Michael Mueller Shoots Skaters Rushing Down a Mountainside at 100 km/h with the B1 Off-camera Flash
It is now exactly two weeks since the launch of the B1 off-camera flash caused such a storm of clicks that our website came crashing down. We partly blame Michael Mueller for that. His images are just too good to ignore.
In early September, the B1 off-camera flash was ready to be launched to the public. But before doing so, the development team at Profoto wanted to give their new flash a proper test drive – or to be more precise, they wanted a professional photographer to do it.
The B1 is a cordless off-camera flash with TTL, designed to not only catch the action but also freeze it in time with absolute sharpness. So it seemed only natural to give it to a photographer whose images are oozing with adrenaline. If you are familiar with German sports photographer Michael Mueller, you know he fits that description like a glove.
Michael happily accepted the proposal and brought his team to a mountain to shoot death-defying downhill skateboarders rushing down a road. In their bags were B1s, a BatPac, Zoom Reflectors, a Phase One 645DF+ camera and standard Air Remotes, amongst other things. Read more

Anyone that has seen the LG G2 for Verizon knows exactly what this means. Big Red's LG flagship had the same specs, but the physical features were different when it came to the volume and power/lock buttons on the back, along with a bezel ring for the camera lens, and who can forget Verizon's "LOOK AT ME" branding?
The same will follow suit with the LG G3, though to a lesser extent this time. As we already knew, Verizon's branding is an important feature to the carrier, and previous leaks showed us what America's largest carrier had in store for us with the G3. Thankfully however, the button arrangement is not being changed, so accessories and cases can be made across the whole line-up. The power/lock button has a chrome treatment to it however, and a shiny camera bezel is back as well.
AT&T's variant of the G3 will stay true to last year's model, one logo on the back and LG's "G3" branding along the bottom. T-Mobile's branding is equally subtle. Sprint's model is the cleanest of the bunch with no apparent carrier branding at all.
Since so many people put their expensive smartphones in cases, overt branding for the carrier and the manufacturer is arguably moot. In that circumstance, Verizon prevails with a small logo in the top front bezel. It is difficult to see from the renders leaked by @evleaks, but there appears to be a small dimensional difference on the back plate of the Verizon G3 compared to the other carriers. It may reflect native wireless charging, of which Verizon and LG back the Qi standard while AT&T is backing the PMA standard. We will see how that all shakes out following release.
How about it, is the branding over the top? Not enough? Or will your G3 be in a case so you are not too worried?

The road trip is finished. We eventually covered over 5,000kms in just under twelve days, with five of those serious driving days - the rest were spent resting up at my mothers place on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. My reputation as a storm repellent was in full flight, all week storms were predicted every evening, none eventuated. Happens every time. It was a good two weeks, much rest and much did we see, and we took photos of most of it.
Yesterday we headed out of a little town called Warren in New South Wales at about 6:30am. I can't enough about Warren as we saw all of it in about five minutes, and that included checking the map to make sure we were in the right place the night before (we covered 1,000kms in ten hours). Once we found out hotel room I spent the evening watching the election coverage (for once it was riveting!) and listening to the other half snore happily away.
This was the scenery between Warren and Broken Hill the next morning (yesterday). For 600kms I drove through landscape that resembled nothing short of the surface of Mars, only with the odd tree. Wildlife was out and about, plenty of emus, goats(!), sheep, the odd horse and cow and loads of squashed kangaroos. The emus had a tendency to wander out on the road, making us stop, and then running back and forth as if they couldn't decided to move or not. A little abuse and they soon moved. This was probably the most mentally taxing part of the drive for me as the thought of breaking down was filling me with dread. No phone coverage, no radio, nothing as far as the eye can see. To me it seemed to be the perfect place for a serial killer to be dumping bodies, which is probably why I drove at an average speed of around 145kms per hour just to get out of it and into some form of civilisation. This is the outback.
Coming into Broken Hill the landscape changed dramatically. This the area where the Mad Max films were made and as we drove along we started recognising certain parts of the roads and as we went into Silverton we really began to get a good vibe - this is where they made one of my all time favourite movies, Mad Max II. The fact that we were driving down the same roads as the characters in the movie made me drive all the faster. You can see more detailed shots here. I'm not overly surprised that they'd film such a movie here as it really does look like the end of the world, only paved. I've been to some really unusual places in Australia, the Nullabor Plains, Maralinga, the Simpson Desert, all kinds of spots that look like nothing else, but this is the only place where the road makes you confused. It's nowhere, but it leads somewhere and in a way that's very disconcerting.
Silverton itself was a bit of a disappointment. For years I've always been under the impression that Silverton is a ghost town and virtually abandoned. Well it isn't. There's not too many people, that's for sure, but those who remain have turned the place into a tourist spot. At least they're maintaining the buildings I guess. The church, seen here, is the most impressive of the lot. I got a weird feeling that I was being watched from within taking this photo which makes me believe that the church is haunted. I hope so.
We took more photos but once we passed the point of there being only 400kms to home we drove on. Still this amused me no end - this is the town centre of a little place near Yunta. This sign isn't pointing to anywhere, this is the town centre! Amazing. The food here was horrid and nearly made us both sick, but we were hungry and getting tired, so we ate all the same.
Coming home, to me, is always the best part of the trip. To be able to crash out in my own bed and take stock of all the goodies that I bought for the coming week is a highlight. All in all it was a great trip and I'll throw some more photos up as I see out the rest of my break.

text: Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. There was a time not too long ago where I wasn't planning on being around for the occasion. I am a suicide survivor. On December 9, 2010, I went to a public washroom, downed a container of pills and counted down what I thought were my final hours. Tomorrow was never supposed to come. Surviving an attempt has its own difficulties. My decision to reveal this was rooted in my frustration at society's stigma towards those with mental illness and the lack of understanding about suicide.

Kiwis assistant coach expects his young talent to step up on debut and thrill their home crowd.
Tony Iro likes to joke that the last time the Kiwis won an Anzac test was so long ago he can't even remember it.
He's joking all right. "You don't forget beating Australia," admits the man who played second row in that rare victory and who is now the assistant coach. "I remember 17 players having a real good dig that day. We had beaten the Australian team the previous year under Super League colours but there was a bit of criticism that we had only beaten half of the Australian team in'97, so we had some incentive to do well in'98."
That incentive certainly hasn't diminished 14 years later. The intervening period has seen 10 more Anzac tests played. Each has been won convincingly by Australia, with the games all being played on Australian soil.
That one-sided scheduling for what has been near enough an annual fixture has been down to pure pragmatism. Australian stadiums packed with spectators who have paid for their tickets in Australian dollars generate vastly more revenue than the comparatively spartan attendances at the rare (end-of-season) games staged in this country. Desperate for their share of the takings, the cash-strapped NZRL has seldom been in a position to object.
Now, thanks to a rise in the game's standing on the back of two major Kiwis triumphs and the positive transformation of the Warriors, the Anzac test returns to New Zealand. Hopes are high for a bumper attendance at Eden Park and a change in what has been an entirely inevitable result.
There is, however, a caveat. The match may be returning to these shores but rather than being held on the Shore - the scene of the 1998 triumph and another in 2003 - or even Mt Smart, where the Kiwis downed the Kangaroos in 1999, the game will take place at a venue that has catered for nothing but misery for Kiwi league.
To further muddle a line that was never actually uttered in Star Trek, it's home Jim but not as we know it.
"To be fair we haven't had much luck at Eden Park - rugby league full stop," Iro admitted. "So that is another monkey we have got to get off our back. But [home advantage] is massive for us.
"You can never underestimate the Australians, it is going to be [tough]. But playing on home soil, the ... support we get, that has got to be a positive."
Iro also believes a Kiwis side that contains nine changes from the most recent defeat by England in last year's Four Nations is as close to full strength as any fielded in recent times.
"With the exception of Kieran Foran and Steve Matai this is the best side we could have picked. We have got a couple of guys making their debuts [Shaun Johnson and Josh Hoffman] but they are the best young talent in the game and we are confident they can handle that rise. There are plenty of test caps in the side, so we have no excuses."
Enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves certainly isn't too bothered by history or geography.
"A game is a game, y'know," he said. "We are here to do a job and we'll be doing our best to get it done."

If a bird has to poop in your gelati, that sounds like a nice place for it to happen. Now about that nun....she must have had very strong faith, because chomping on a gun sounds like a very dangerous thing to do. Strong teeth too.

After a 20 minute hike over the cliffs and overlooking the sea, we arrive in Riomaggoire. This village, just as beautiful, but is hillier. They all are pretty, but kind of look alike! After a quick visit in Riomaggiore, we boarded the train to Vernanzza, the 2nd village, but the most famous. It is the only one of the villages with a natural harbor
We then boarded the train, with the hords of other toursists, and went to the first village, Monterosso Al Mare. This village is the largest with 2 separate sections, an old seciton and a new section. And this village is the most resort like. I liked this one the best. I could see spending time here on the beach, in the quaint old town section, and with the many shops and tattorias which line the beach. Not a bad life, these Italians have!
We took the train back to hotel, which itself is a block or 2 from the beach. We planned to return to Manarola for dinner, but since the trains only run every 45 minutes or so, felt it was safer just to have dinner in Levanto. So we had a nice British lady at the hotel recommend a trattoria, so we hope it is good!
There are many tourists in this section of Italy. We found the bulk of toursists are of course, from the US, but also there are tons of Aussies and Germans here. More so here than the other places we have seen. We are off to Verona tomorrow, and may hit Padua. We are having a great time! Oh, I sat next to a nun on the train from Monterossa to Levanto
For Jim, Bob's 2 cents: Maryellen covered all the ground. Today was very special. I was taken by how much the area is dependent on a rail system that is carved through the mountains. Really, were we in the mountains more that out, and several stations were partly in the mountains. We were standing by the tracks, about 20 meters inside the enterence when a freight train sped past at a high rate of speed...there was a strong gust of wind that would have pulled a child to the ground ...it was amazing. There were many crowds with most people just killing time..little shopping and lots of eating. The view spectacular & I am really glad we came.

The San Francisco 49ers 23rd ranked passing attack enters their second straight NFC Championship behind outstanding sophomore quarterback Colin Kaepernick. San Francisco is traveling to the Georgia Dome to take on the Atlanta Falcons and their 23rd ranked passing defense.
Kaepernick has a rocket for an arm, and aside from the early interception to Sam Shields, played a good game against an aggressive Packers pass defense last week. A big part of that was Michael Crabtree. The Kaepernick-Crabtree combination has been one of the NFL's most effective combinations since Kaepernick took over as the 49ers signal caller.
Crabtree's 9 receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown last week quadrupled the production of any other 49er wide receiver. Crabtree is Kaepernick's trusted receiver, looked for in critical situations, 3rd downs, red zone, and any time that there is a pass called. While Crabtree has been building chemistry with Kaepernick, elite tight end Vernon Davis says chemistry is the reason for the drop in his production. Davis did catch a deep 44-yard pass from Kaepernick against the Packers, but was left in to block at times on passing downs, and has not seen the targets a weapon of his caliber should see.
Davis will have another opportunity to break out, as Davis creates a mismatch against both Atlanta's safeties and linebackers. Randy Moss is still one of the leagues best diversions, and his deep threat keeps heat off both Crabtree and the 49ers running game. The Falcons cornerbacks Asante Samuel and Dunta Robinson lead the Falcons 23rd ranked passing defense, and have a tough time ahead of them, guarding one of the NFL's emerging receivers in Crabtree.981370
