The basketball action was fast-paced and provided plenty of heart-stopping moments in the inaugural championship games of the Kingston Optimist Club (KOC) girls league held at Roane County High School (RCHS).
The Harriman Blue Devils and Rockwood Tigers tennis teams met Tuesday afternoon at Roane State and the long-time rivals battled to a draw with the Lady Tigers winning, 7-2, and Harriman's boys winning, 6-3.
The Midway Lady Green Waves dedicated their new lights last Tuesday, honored several former players, and recognized several parents and school officials that had worked to bring about the very nice softball and baseball facilities at Midway. Everything was almost perfect except the Lady Waves could not pull out a win, dropping a 4-0 decision to Alcoa.
The Oliver Springs Bobcats got a strong performance from ace Cary Gann in their 2012 season opener on Tuesday against Greenback, but Gann's hard work went for nought, as the Bobcats dropped a 6-2 decision to the Cherokees in eight inning.
The Midway Green Wave opened the 2012 baseball season with two big wins Monday and Tuesday.
Jake Witter's Rockwood Tigers scored in six of the seven innings played during their season opener at Stone Memorial on Tuesday and the result was a 16-5 victory over the Panthers.
After opening the season with an easy 16-0 victory over Sequoyah on Monday, Ronnie Ladd's Kingston Lady Jackets picked up another easy win on Tuesday as they defeated Sweetwater in five innings.
The Kingston Yellow Jackets broke open a scoreless tie with eight runs in the fourth and fifth innings, and from that point on it was smooth sailing as Bruce Robinette's squad knocked off visiting Harriman, 9-2.
The Harriman Lady Blue Devils picked up their second win of the season Tuesday evening as Travis Langley's squad traveled to Wartburg and run-ruled the Lady 'Dogs in only three innings, 15-0.
The Rockwood Tigers boys soccer program could not have picked a better way to win their first regular season game as a team in school history. The Tigers mauled the Oliver Springs Bobcats by a 10-0 tally Tuesday evening.

Commonwealth Honors College World Film Series: "The Lord of the Flies"
Event Details
September 23, 2013
7:00 pm
Commonwealth Honors College Building
Room: 160A
Handicap access available
Free admission
Brion Dulac
In the hands of the renowned experimental theater director Peter Brook, William Golding's classic novel about the primitivism lurking beneath civilization becomes a film as raw and ragged as the lost boys at its center. Taking an innovative documentary-like approach, Brook shot Lord of the Flies with an off-the-cuff naturalism, seeming to record a spontaneous eruption of its characters' ids. The result is a rattling masterpiece, as provocative as its source material.

text: After making my kids Valentines cards with the lips and mustaches die cuts from Lifestyle Crafts I had all of these negative pieces of paper. I knew I could do something with them. I had a couple glasses from the dollar store in my cupboard for just such an occasion and I pulled out my colored Sharpies that I had asked to get for Christmas. Yes, I ask for office supplies for Christmas...does that make me strange? ;) I made some his and hers glasses! This was a super fast project and is something you could do for a date night, Valentine's day or any other day really. Fill with your favorite beverages, candies, or maybe even a little something naughty for each to make a fun and inexpensive bridal shower gift! ... [Read More]

The popularity of ice hockey is growing around the world thanks to the game's dazzling mix of speed and excitement. However, Dr. Charles Tator and colleagues report that mix can also be dangerous as at least 243 people suffered spinal injuries playing the game in Canada between the years of 1966 and 1996.
The 243 injuries represent come from reports to a registry of spinal injuries set up in 1984 and updated every two weeks. The injuries recorded include any fracture or dislocation of the spine sustained by a player, with or without injury to the spinal cord or nerve roots. The authors found that a push or check from behind accounted for 74 (40%) of the 184 cases where the cause of injury was known. An impact with the boards accounted for 157 (77%) of the 204 cases of injury where the object hit by the player was known.
The authors also report a disturbingly low median age of injured players (17 years) and regional disparities in the number of spinal injuries. Ontario accounted for 126 (52%) of the injuries, while only 22 (9%) came from Quebec, a value comparable to those of individual western provinces. In a related commentary, Dr. Barry Pless wonders whether board checks should be outlawed as they are at the peewee level (ages 12-13) in Quebec. He feels that the decision to prohibiting body contact at that level contributes to Quebec's lower number of spinal injuries when compared to Ontario, where checking is allowed at the peewee level.

Cacus Stealing the Cattle of Hercules, 1652
Jacob Jordaens
Flemish, 1593 - 1678
etching with engraving on laid paper
23.4 x 32.2 cm; plate: 22.7 x 31.4 cm
Purchased 1976
National Gallery of Canada (no. 18645)
Seven etchings were produced in Jordaens' studio, including The Infant Jupiter Fed by the Goat Amalthea and The Master Pulls the Cow out of the Ditch by its Tail – a proverb meaning, if you want it done, you must do it yourself. The texts claim Jordaens only as the "inventor" of the images – the division between designing and making was the foundation of the workshop, yet it is rarely stated so clearly as on prints. Unlike Rubens, Jordaens did not work closely with independent printmakers. Etching did not require the same level of skill, and the plate could be produced without employing a third party. Somewhat cruder, these prints targeted a different audience.

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who has watched the preview show of "The Dirty Picture", is bowled over by Vidya Balan's performance and says she has set a benchmark for the current rung of actresses.
"Her performance in 'DIRTY PICTURE' is by far the bravest and best performance I have seen of any actor in years….she is the benchmark," Johar posted on his Twitter page.
"Every mainstream actress needs a grand lesson from Vidya Balan on how to submit and give your head and soul to a role…she is beyond words," he wrote.
Not just this, Johar is also impressed the way director Milan Luthria has executed the story.
"Take a bow team Balaji!!! Super film!!! Rajat's brilliant dialogue…Milan's nuanced and superb control over the plot…dirty picture rules," he added.
Movie buffs are eagerly waiting to go "Oh la la" with Vidya in "The Dirty Picture", which is releasing Friday and it will see the actress flirting with Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi. – IANS

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1994
About the owner: We've spent our summers here every year since we bought it. My three boys have spent countless hours on the lake and enjoying some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We've rented the place occasionally through the years to several returning visitors. With the kids grown and busy with life we've decided to rent more and expand our guest list. We love the place and have made steady improvements over the years to make it a warm and inviting home for our friends, family, and visitors. We hope you take the opportunity to enjoy our home as we have for many years.
Why the Owner Chose Honor, MI, USA:
The lake offers great water sports and swimming. With many large windows the house feels connected to the lake and you're never far from a beautiful view. The area was voted by Good Morning America as the most beautiful place in the country and with the many secret beaches and hikes you can access all the areas beauty.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The house and property are organized for maximizing exposure to the lake. The house sits on a hill that slopes down to the water. With this placement you get fantastic views.

Recalling Zuma would have averted Sona chaos: Cope
The blame for the disruptions to the State of the Nation Address must be laid at the feet of President Jacob Zuma' the Congress of the People (Cope) said.
Watch the highlights from #SONA2016
In statement to explain why its members walked out of Wednesday night's speech' the party expressed its disappointment that Zuma didn't step down from office.
"We had expected that he would use the opportunity to announce his resignation'" Cope president Mosiuoa Lekota said.
Cope's "members refused to dignify the State of the Nation Address" as they "could not in good conscience sit and listen to a discredited president'" Lekota added.
"How could we respect a president who has no respect whatsoever for the house? We could not listen to him because he had misled the honourable house. We cannot give him respect that he does not deserve."
The address "descended into utter chaos"' the leader opined' "because the president continued to break his oath of office and the African National Congress (ANC) caucus continued to condone his action unflinchingly.
"The president and the ANC pushed the envelope too far. Both are now reaping what they have sown."
Lekota seemed incredulous that Zuma' who "for two years…defied the public protector and then backed down when the matter went to the Constitutional Court" can "continue to remain in office".
This was a reference to the court action this week in which legal counsel for Zuma conceded that the public protector's report on upgrades to his Nkandla homestead were binding.
"President Zuma has violated the constitution repeatedly and manipulated the justice system to protect himself against prosecution. The ANC has allowed him to do so to the total detriment of the nation.
"Had the ANC done the moral thing and recalled him' the State of the Nation Address would have proceeded with dignity and honour. All of us would have listened to the new president because he would have not have been tainted as President Zuma is.
"On principle' South Africans should stop affording him a halo. He is damaging South Africa. He speaks with a forked tongue."

Algebraic analysis of small scale LEX-BES
Z'aba, Muhammad Reza, Wong, Kenneth, Dawson, Edward, & Simpson, Leonie (2010) Algebraic analysis of small scale LEX-BES. In Proceeding of the 2nd International Cryptology Conference 2010, Penerbit Universiti, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka, Melaka, Malaysia, pp. 77-82.
Accepted Version
(PDF 285kB)
This paper examines the algebraic cryptanalysis of small scale variants of the LEX-BES. LEX-BES is a stream cipher based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher. LEX is a generic method proposed for constructing a stream cipher from a block cipher, initially introduced by Biryukov at eSTREAM, the ECRYPT Stream Cipher project in 2005. The Big Encryption System (BES) is a block cipher introduced at CRYPTO 2002 which facilitates the algebraic analysis of the AES block cipher. In this paper, experiments were conducted to find solution of the equation system describing small scale LEX-BES using Gröbner Basis computations. This follows a similar approach to the work by Cid, Murphy and Robshaw at FSE 2005 that investigated algebraic cryptanalysis on small scale variants of the BES. The difference between LEX-BES and BES is that due to the way the keystream is extracted, the number of unknowns in LEX-BES equations is fewer than the number in BES. As far as the author knows, this attempt is the first at creating solvable equation systems for stream ciphers based on the LEX method using Gröbner Basis computations.

The sale is part of the government's divestment programme to raise $5.5 billion by next March.
<b.Mumbai: India has set a share sale in state miner NMDC Ltd for Wednesday, the company said, in a deal which sources said could add up to $1.1 billion to government efforts to ease its yawning budget deficit.
The sale, part of the government's divestment programme to raise $5.5 billion by next March, will be the biggest by a state-run company since a $2.5 billion selldown in Oil and Natural Gas Corp in March.
The government may on Tuesday announce a floor price for the NMDC issue in a range of 145 rupees to 150 rupees a share, said two sources with direct knowledge who asked not to be named as details are not yet public.
The government, which owns 90 per cent of NMDC, will sell a 10 per cent stake, NMDC said in a notice to the stock exchanges. At the top end, the sale will garner about $1.1 billion.
NMDC shares closed 2.3 per cent lower at 154.75 rupees, ahead of the decision. The stake sale would be carried out via an auction to institutional investors, and will open on Wednesday morning and close later in the day.
New Delhi has so far raised $148 million from the sale of stakes in state companies in a process hit by volatile markets and wrangling among government officials.
The government is likely to step up its divestment programme in the months ahead amid concerns about its ballooning fiscal deficit, which is seen at 5.6 per cent of gross domestic product in this fiscal year, above an official target of 5.3 per cent.
The scale of the deficit will make it tougher for New Delhi to avoid a credit rating downgrade.
Other state companies in which the government expects to reduce its stake in the coming months include explorer Oil India, power producer NTPC Ltd and National Aluminium Co.
Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Indian investment banks ICICI Securities and Enam Securities are the bankers for the NMDC share offering.</b.mumbai:

The bloodletting from Dan Rather's ongoing lawsuit at CBS continues, although this time, Rather is going after himself saying that no one wants to hire him after his forged document scandal:
Dan Rather has filed an amended lawsuit against CBS that says other TV networks refused to hire him because of the damage executives at his former company did to his reputation after a disputed 2004 report on President Bush.
Rather's lawyer, Martin R. Gold, said new papers were filed because a judge said in April the initial lawsuit did not specify how CBS injured Rather in his occupation. The judge said the veteran newsman could submit an amended complaint. [...]
Rather says he met with CNN, ABC, and NBC in 2006 to talk about employment after his departure from CBS, but they refused to hire him because he brought "too much baggage."
The news anchor said that when he met CNN officials in 1997, they offered him $6 million a year to work for them. He said issues with his CBS contract, plus CBS' proposed match of CNN's offer, caused him to stay where he was.
In a spring 2006 meeting, court papers say, Rather met again with CNN executives and with ABC and NBC representatives. None would consider him, saying in various ways that the Bush story had generated too much controversy.
Rather and his agents also met later with Fox, A&E, History Channel, HBO, Discovery Channel and National Geographic television networks, court papers say, but all passed, saying he was "too hot to handle" or "words to that effect."
Rather's papers say he could have defended the Bush story, but, relying on CBS' promises to defend him and extend his contract, he was "misled into remaining silent and unfairly taking the brunt of the blame for misconceptions about the broadcast."
He left CBS on June 16, 2006, after more than 40 years at the network. He has since signed with HDNet, a cable network with limited distribution.
"Although now working, Mr. Rather's (on air) exposure is dramatically limited and, accordingly, his reputation and standing in his trade and profession have not recovered from the damage caused by the defendants' conduct," court papers say.

This summer, children are heading to the pools for some fun in the sun. Because drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional death for children and adolescents, physicians need to educate parents and young swimmers about water safety. These Web sites have some valuable information you can share with concerned patients.
American Academy of Pediatrics The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has policy papers on personal watercraft use by children and adolescents; prevention of drowning in infants, children, and adolescents; and swimming programs for infants and toddlers on its Web site, www.aap.org/healthtopics/watersafety.cfm . They contain useful background information and recommendations pediatricians and other primary care physicians can use to stay up to date on water safety. The Web site also features results from a national survey of childhood drowning with informative statistics, information about parents' and children's attitudes and behaviors toward water safety, and educational information you can share with your patients. Additional educational patient resources encompass a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fact sheet, home water hazards for young children, information about life jackets and life preservers, pool safety for children, water safety for school-age children, and ways to keep children safe around swimming pools.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The Healthy Swimming Web site of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), www.cdc.gov/healthyswimming , takes a comprehensive look at outbreaks associated with swimming pools, water parks, hot tubs, lakes, rivers, and oceans. Click on the Health Professionals link to be directed to resources on talking to parents about recreational water illnesses (RWIs), prevention of RWIs, and therapy pool operation in health care facilities. The Web site also has an RWI Health Promotion Toolkit for Public Health Professionals , model aquatic health code, prevention commentaries, outbreak response toolkits, disinfection and remediation guidelines, and more. Additional health promotion materials covering water safety include brochures, fact sheets, and posters you can print off the Web site, as well as podcasts and videos.
National Institutes of Health MedlinePlus from the National Institutes of Health, www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/watersafetyrecreational.html , has an abundance of online resources covering topics from boating safety to hot tub rash. The Specific Conditions portion of the site will link you to pool and spa safety publications, safety tips for water-skiing and scuba diving, and information on water safety and children's swimming lessons from the American Medical Association. Related Issues cover certain water-borne illnesses, preparations for water emergencies, and environmental water concerns. The Journal Articles section will open a window to a plethora of in-depth articles on water safety.
Safe Kids USA An excellent resource to share with parents and their children, the Safe Kids USA Web site, www.usa.safekids.org/water , covers safety in pools and hot tubs, on the beach, in the bathtub, and when boating. Downloads on the site include a national study on drain entrapment and pool safety measures, boating and swimming safety checklists, educational coloring sheets for children, information about children's life vests, water watcher cards, and pool and hot tub safety checklists. The Web site also features water safety videos and firsthand accounts of water emergencies.

While thousands of people pour into Columbia: Police are prepared
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Thousands of people are rolling into Columbia this weekend to join in the University of Missouri's homecoming festivities.
Events started Friday night and will lead up to Saturday's game, creating busier streets, traffic jams and heightened police presence.
Police are preparing for the crowds this weekend by having 5 additional officers patrolling the downtown area.
However, they aren't the only ones getting ready. Bars are making sure they have enough employees scheduled, hospitals have more doctors on call and taxi companies have all of their cars ready to go.
"There are a lot of cabs on the street but they still don't have enough for everybody," said Charles Reno, Economy cab owner.
The average number of cars a cab company has in Columbia is six. This number causes some concern to officers having to manage the crowds.
"In reality it just depends on the outcome of the game. When Mizzou wins, people are happy and less traumatized by the event," said Sgt. Candy Cornman, Columbia Police Department.
However, a win often leads to more people out downtown celebrating and drinking.
"Underage drinking is obviously something that we deal with in the downtown unit predominantly and we will be enforcing," said Cornman.

Moving over here from the junior ladies' thread....would like to see Keiji Tanaka get on the podium. He's aging out of juniors and has been to two JGPF's so far, ending up out of the medals both times. Would be nice for him to have a strong free skate and leave the JGP series as a medalist if not a winner....and in front of a home crowd.
Yeah, I'm not sure what to think about Hino. He has some nice moments in this program but also some rough ones. He skates with such a blank expression and stiff body, but not sure if he's always like this or just mucho nerves tensed him up on everything.
Boyang's a jumping bean. Three quads including one in the second half. HIs TES is sort of crazy. His TES is better than most of the senior men. Almost 90+ Otherwise the program is pretty meh especially when you compare it to Javier's last year.
150. That's a great score for a junior man!
His knee bend is so deep going into the quad, but he also leans a lot in the air. It's kind of impressive that he landed the second one.
I'm such a softie when it comes to Boyang Jin. This is a good program for him. He's a great jumper, now he just needs some experience and also improve posture, get rid of the round shoulders, project out to the audience and stop looking down, improve skating skills and start adding more stuff between the elements. Needs a lot of work especially the next couple of years but a diamond in the rough. IMO, he's one of the Chinese skaters that could really benefit from some foreign choreo and artistic input/training.
chinese men seems to be in good hands with Yan and Boyang for the next quad and beyond
Not sure I've seen Pitkeev skate before, but so far Petrov is the most appealing Russian mens skater I've seen in a long time. I hope he has a bright future ahead of him!
Great program from Nathan. Adding the 3A makes the 2-5 layout a little bit less strange looking. Curious how this will score.
Highest PCS of the night couldn't make up for a 13 point deficit in TES.
He did a really nice job. Good score, just not enough for to overcome the quads from Boyang. Interested to watch this Russian now!

A large rendering of male genitals on a high-school football field tainted graduation for one Florida school.
As a senior prank, one student used weed killer to create the shape of a penis and testicles, which took up most of the space on the field.
The student was caught and not allowed to walk with his graduating class.
To cover up the prank, the school used green spray paint and a large "2014" painting.

Lots of issues - before staining concrete
I am on a concrete slab that had glued down flooring. I had horrible buckling and just an overall bad time with the floor. So, I ripped it up and cut my loses.
I would like to stain the concrete about 288 sq ft. But, I have a couple of issues going on and I dont know where to start.
I need to remove the glue, fix a foundation crack, and a bunch of holes where the concrete came up with the wood floors.
Is it possible to knock out all my concrete floor issues just by applying a self-leveling concrete or anything else over top of the glue, cracked foundation and the other holes?
If that is possible, would it be wise to mix a color with the concrete to create a nice stained finish?
Do I install an anti-fracture membrane first, then a SLC?
I am also thinking of radiant heating since this probably would be the best time to install.
There is so much info on the WWW that I am confusing this job more than it needs to be I think.
Okay - This is what I am thinking now.
Nail down plywood over the existing floor. Then put down the roof tar paper, then the electric coils, pour concrete and stain.
Any idea's, thoughts?
If you are going to put down plywood, install 1" foam over the floor and tape the joints to help with moisture and heat loss.
As for the concrete over the plywood I have no experience with that but I know people do lightweight for radiant floor heating. Personally, I would just do tile instead of stained concrete.
Yeah good idea about the moisture barrier first.
I honestly thought about tile - But, i don't like grout - too hard to clean and keep clean over the years unless you use a darker color.
interesting ideas-keep us posted. i am thinknig of doing a similar project but for floor of the porch outside
Well - At this point I am just going to go ahead and scrap the floor and get all the glue up. Then I will be fixing the crack and other holes. Thats it for now, until I can figure out whats next.
concrete floor staining
3 Attachment(s)
I myself took on a project like this last year. It turned out wonderfully, AFTER much prep. Old carpet and pad removed well. Glue did not. Required acetone scrubbing and a floor machine in places. Don't use a grinder unless you want to see the marks. It was tedious and didn't come out perfectly, but it is so nice looking and is only an additional TV/living space/man cave, so we didn't care. Our dilemma was flooding from a clogged downspout in torrential downpours last April. The carpet was ruined, but luckily after pumping all the water out, the basement wasn't moldy and the cedar paneling below the chair rail was unscathed. After the prep, I used an acid stain I found online and there are so many color choices. You want one that actually REACTS with the concrete, so do your homework!! Many are just like paint and can chip. This kind will not do that. The website shows examples and the distributor actually does this for a living. They were extra helpful, too!! you will need a 2 gallon pump sprayer with NO metal parts. (less than $30.00). You will need a shop vac after rinsing after the reaction process. Fans to dry. microfiber mop to apply sealant, then you wax it with as many coats as you want for sheen. We placed a nice piece of carpet seamed on the edges for warmth and ouila!! new shiny brown/copper/concrete floor! I plan on doing my outdoor covered patio in the spring. Hope this helps!!
well in the end I decided to buy some inexpensive laminate from IKEA and a vapor barrier and install myself. I have had no problems with this floor so far and its been quite awhile since its been installed. Guess wood on concrete never works, at least with my experiences. The laminate looks good and no buckling, scratches, dents from dropping stuff or any other problems I had in the past with real wood.

New Wise County Schools Set to Open
WISE COUNTY, Va. -
Nearly two decades of debate on whether to consolidate six high schools into three comes to an end in Wise County.
Two new high schools are set to open next week with a price tag of 60 million dollars.
And we discovered that not only did they meet their construction deadline but came in under budget.
Things are quiet on the outside of Wise County's new Central High School but inside the excitement and anticipation are at a fever pitch.
Next week at this time the halls will be filled with excited students at both Central and the new Union High as they returned to new schools following Christmas break.
"We have a very short time period of course to get everything done so all those individuals have been extremely busy working getting their rooms ready. We appreciate all of the the individuals that are making sure we'll be open and ready," Superintendent Jeff Perry says.
Besides school colors the new schools are exactly alike which actually saved the school system money on construction costs in fact we've learned they will return somewhere between 700-thousand to a million dollars back to the board of supervisors.
"In terms of construction schedule we have finished this on time and within schedule and then a lot of individuals were skeptical and critical that we would be able to do this for the amount that we budgeted and actually we're returning money to the board of supervisors," The superintendent said.
Nobody is more excited about the news schools more than the students themselves returning to a brand new schools with new facilities.
"Physical plant, classroom facilities ready for science, chemistry, biology, classroom instructional areas, computer lab, technology access, it's all state of the art," Central Principal Charles Collins said.
"I think that of all of the trials and tribulations that we went through and all the challenges that need to be overcome and all the obstacles that we had to surmount, i think that individuals have been extremely pleased with the final product," Superindentent Perry concluded.
Ribbon cutting for the new Union High will be Monday January 6th and Central on Wednesday January 8th both at 5 p-m.

TWO paintings by Stone Roses guitarist John Squire have been destroyed in a fire that burnt down his studio.
The blaze broke out at Squire's home where he had a purpose-built workshop to create his popular abstract art.
It is believed to have started accidentally in Macclesfield, Cheshire.
The two lost pieces were called Harry Houdini and Aileen Wuornos, after the US serial killer, and were from his Celebrity series which went on show last summer.
Squire's agent Vivienne Gaskin said: "It could have been worse. He has got about four of the paintings from the collection in his home and the others have been sold."
The Celebrity paintings also featured Harold Shipman, Josef Fritzl and David Beckham. The Stone Roses reformed last year after 16 years.

Along with the iOS 6.1 update, Apple TV software was updated to 5.2. One of the key features for Apple TV is the ability to use a wireless Bluetooth keyboard to control Apple TV. The obvious benefit is that you can type instead of entering text with arrow keys on the Apple TV remote. In addition to entering text, the keyboard can also be used to navigate and control Apple TV. This is a welcomed feature, the only question is why did it take Apple so long to add it.
How to Connect a Bluetooth Keyboard to Apple TV
1. Update your Apple TV software to 5.2 or later by going to Settings-> General-> Update Software.
2. Once your Apple TV is updated go to General-> Bluetooth.
3. Put the Bluetooth keyboard into pairing mode. Hold the Power button on Apple wireless keyboards for pairing mode. A blinking LED indicates that the Apple Wireless Keyboard is discoverable.
4. Select your keyboard from the list using your Apple remote when it appears in the device list.
5. Type the four-digit code on your keyboard and then press Enter or Return.
6. Once the keyboard is connected you should see a confirmation.
After you have paired a Bluetooth keyboard with Apple TV you can use it to:
- Enter text for email addresses, passwords, search, etc.
- Navigate the menus by using the arrow, Return, and Escape keys
- Use media controls to play, pause, select next or previous content.
Note: Bluetooth support is a only for keyboards. Headsets, speakers, and other Bluetooth devices are not supported.

Another lazy day, again too drizzly to do laundry. We wandered into town in the afternoon for an explore along the canal path. Pretty trees and pretty peacock bushes led us to a floral bridge opposite the train station into the town centre. Looking back through the photos, it actually looks quite cute but, honestly, it was awful! Being Sunday, everything was closed and ************e was about but the few ...

Then a wander into town to the supermarket. We were just commenting on how lifeless the town is with nothing to offer when a few boats started going through the loch. Great fun watching "Le boats" for half an hour, cheered us up no end. To top the positive features of this site, it's ...
Yesterday we decided to travel on from the campsite and to try and find an aire to stay at. We woke up in the morning to somebodies campervan alarm going off - not fun. It wasn't until we had endured this painful noise for about 20 minutes that Dad realised that it was actually our alarm that was going off. Oops. After we got up, Max, Dad and I rode to the local patisserie to get everybody some breakfast. After this, Max and I went back to ...

... though. We walked to the beach, and had another really nice dinner out. Walking some of the streets here is good agility training for hockey - you have to constantly dodge dog poop on the sidewalks. Quite gross.

Where I stayed
Pousada D'Pillel
So I think I was going to a tour of the city when I stopped last time.. I should say that I didn�t really mention too much about the 2 girls who I met at the bus stop in Iguazu, who I�ve subsequently been travelling with for the last week and a half. They buy me a beer a day to be their unofficial tour guide...or merandering buffoon. Well I went on this city tour with them, Amanda and Jodie. This is where you can get all the tourist stuff out of the way in one day... done. Christ the Redeemer had some pretty good views and was an incredible statue, but if I had my way, they should have made one of Marty Mcfly and the Doc in the pose from the cover of Back to the Future 2. Thats a statue! Sugarloaf Mountain was big and windy and also enjoyable.. We also went to this cathedral that looked like a Darlek from the outside... To be honest, it looked shit from the outside. But from the inside, it was absolutely stunning! When I can figure out the simplest technology to man I will upload some photos. I may have killed one too many brain cells..
That night I went out with everyone from my hostel. We went to a bar called... something in brazillian.. in Lapa where I would be able to meet up with Marina from Buenos Aires. She was there with her brazillian friend who she had managed to spend the whole time not swearing infront of.. until I got there. Am I really that much of a bad influence? That was a nice evening, and I really enjoy talking to (swearing with) Marina. However, we decided to go to a club back in Copacabana that someone had heard of called Help. We arrived in different taxis and some people decided to go back to the Hostel, some people didn�t get in, so it ended up being me, another brit, an australian girl, 2 palestinians, and 200 prostitutes. This was a bad place... for bad people. Someone had said earlier that there would be a few there and to to avoid them... I had a better chance of avoiding my legs than the prostitutes in this place. The only other people who were there were about 20 slimey middle aged men. So we had a drink and left.
The next day, the sun came out! Hooray! So I went to the beach! Hooray! I got horrifically burnt! Hooray! I looked like I had been wearing a couple of George Foreman Lean Mean Grillin�Machine�s as shoulder pads. Pretty... I have only just started going back out on the beach again.
Amanda and Jodie were staying at a hostel around the corner from mine called El Misti. I spent more time there than at my own hostel. There�s no TV at their hostel so they are forced to talk to people. I met some great people and spent quite a few nights there last week that nearly always ending in debauchary.. Caligula had nothing on these guys. I was merely a... well wisher in alot of circumstances you understand.
One of those nights at about 1 o�clock people decided to go to the beach to carry on drinking, but I was quite happy talking to Silvia and Christin, my amazing roommates from Iguazu who coincedentally turned up at this hostel.. About 20 minutes after they left for the beach it started to piss down. Hahahahah.... I thought. Then they got mugged.. Hahahahahah.. no wait.. Actually is was quite funny I guess, they didnt seem too bothered by it. It was a couple of opportunistic glue-faced spaz-mongers wielding a bread knife. No one got hurt, they didn�t have much taken, and they have a cool I�ve been mugged story. I think most of them were laughing when they came back and told us...
We went out on Friday to the Street party in Lapa. Like the Favela party, it was a bit scary at first but you get used to it. The kids coming up to you begging at 4 in the morning is slightly harder to get used to, but you do.
Saturday I had to say goodbye to Christin and Sylvia. We had some food and got a bit pissed, played the funny animal drinking game. It was so sad to say goodbye to these girls that i got on with so effortlessly. I�ve met so many people that you�re best friends with for a few days, and then you�re never likely to see them again, but there are definitely a few who I will want to see further along my travels, or when I get home like Christin and Sylvia. I�m going to have to part ways with Jodie and Amanda on Friday night which is going to be really hard.. It�s been like having a little gang..
Right now I�m in Ilha Grande, a beautiful island to the south west of Brazil. It�s a massive contrast to the relatively hectic, dirty, scary Rio. I�ve been here since Sunday (Oh god, getting here was a mission... The horror...the horror...), and have been relaxing on the beach. It�s been amazing. Monday we trekked (thats right, I trekked...) for over 2 hours to get to the other side of the mountain down to Lopus Mendez, one of the top 10 beaches in the world, and we were the only ones there! It was (I�m running out of words for amazing... my english is terrible. I probably speak better French.. No of course I dont what a stupid thing to say. I �ve actually met a couple of French girls in the past few days, needless to say they were impressed... but it turns out neither of them knew where the biblioteque was..) stupendous(??).
Ok, I�m clearly getting tired now. I �m gonna go have a shower to get the sand out of my brain then go get drunk. Tonight is my last night in paradise.... I want to be able to forget it in style.

Lark - adore it! It's so quirky and cool. Probably my favorite bird name out there (although I love Wren, as well!).
Mavis - meh. I don't like it at all, tbh. It feels very frumpy and old fashioned.
Clementine - I like it, but probably would never use it. Unless I adopted a golden retriever. For some reason, I have always thought I'd name a dog Clementine if it was a girl.
Paloma - I like it, but don't love it.
Lux - I like it more than Lucy, and Luz, but in all likelihood, I'll never use it. I don't even know that I'd be excited about meeting a little Lux. It's a nice name; it just doesn't do anything for me.
Eulalie - this is one of those that I think is cool in American English, but when it's put back in its original French perspective, it's just not as attractive at all. In French, it's pronounced oo-lah-lee, which I don't like anywhere near as much as you-lay-lee.
Liesl - I love The Sound of Music, but I just can't get into Liesl. I love the original Elisabeth, though!
Beatrix - love. I would only ever use it as a MN, and I'm not terribly keen on its nns (Bea, Betty/Betsy, and Trixie), but I do love it as a name, and have considered it as a middle several times!
Eloise - I'm sorry; I'm just really sick of hearing Eloise. If I would have seen the appeal of it in the first place, I might be excited every time I see it on some Berry's list, but I hear Eloise bantered about everywhere, and I'm just so tired of it. I don't get it, and it seems overplayed. I like Elodie, Elise, and Louisa all much more.
Gemma - I do like this, though. Gemma is sweet and so Italian/British, and really in style and fun. I would love to meet a little Gemma.
Lark, Beatrix, and Gemma are my favorites.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Philip DiStefano, interim chancellor of the University of Colorado at Boulder, will meet with Fort Collins and Greeley officials Sept. 28 as part of a one-day northern Colorado tour.
Joining DiStefano will be Professor Peter Boag, chair of the history department, Associate Professor Rich Wobbekind of the Leeds School of Business and director of the Business Research Division, and biology Professor David Armstrong.
DiStefano, who was dean of CU-Boulder's School of Education before becoming provost and interim chancellor, will meet with officials from Colorado State University, the University of Northern Colorado, area school districts and other organizations to solicit input on academic programs of importance to northern Colorado.
He also will provide information about CU-Boulder's faculty outreach programs, opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students and CU-Boulder's activities in northern Colorado, including its cooperative programs with CSU, UNC and other northern Colorado organizations.
"I am interested in hearing from people in northern Colorado about how CU-Boulder can better serve their needs through education, research and outreach," said DiStefano. "I also want to remind people of the positive resources of the university -- and all of our universities -- that benefit the entire state, from creating an educated populace to driving innovation in technology and new businesses that benefit the state as a whole."
In addition to meeting with local officials, DiStefano will host a breakfast in Fort Collins at 7:30 a.m. for CU-Boulder alumni and parents of current students at CSU's Alumni Center, 645 S. Shields. DiStefano will end the day with a dinner in Greeley for local alumni and parents at 6 p.m. in the Union Colony Civic Center, 701 10th Ave. For information about the events, call (303) 492-8908.
Last June, DiStefano toured the Western Slope including Grand Junction, Montrose, Durango and Steamboat Springs.

Georgia freshman Republican Rob Woodall had the House floor the other day to talk about lobbyists and subsidies and how Washington works -- or doesn't, as most Americans choose to believe, according to polls.
Though in his first term from Georgia's Seventh District in suburban Atlanta, Woodall is a Capitol Hill veteran, having been an aide to the previous representative for 16 years.
So, he's had considerable experience in keeping an audience listening.
And he decided on this day to bring in the name of a popular culture figure and a story about him to keep interest up because, as every member well knows, the country can watch everything on the channels of C-SPAN.
Of course, being a Southern Republican, Woodall had to differentiate between the Eddie Murphy he fondly recalls laughing at long ago and the far more foul-mouthed one of recent years that no one in their conservative mind could possibly laugh at.
Well, listen for yourself.
Another C-SPAN mystery: What's he looking for?

They're very interesting.thank u very much.
Absolutely breathtaking!
Wow…these are gorgeous…and make me want to travel there. Great work!
These are good pictures but it's kind of a weak post. I've been to Banff and it's awesome, but it's a LOT more than 1 pretty lake. You need more pictures of the wildlife, less of Lake Louise. Get some bears and moose and billy goats! The town is also cool.
These pictures are really Beautiful.I like it most.

As NewsBusters reported Thursday, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin did an interview with NPR wherein he stated, "I am not sure that it is fair to say that [global warming] is a problem we must wrestle with."
Friday, ABC News' Bill Blakemore wrote a piece for that network's website asserting, "NASA administrator Michael Griffin continues to draw the ire of preeminent climate scientists inside and outside of NASA, as well as members of Congress, after apparently downplaying the need to combat global warming."
In the article, Blakemore and co-author Clayton Sandell chose not to interview anyone that agreed with Griffin's views, even as a press release was being distributed by "scientists from around the world who came to Griffin's support":
Said Dr. Walter Starck, an Australian marine scientist, "Griffin makes an important distinction between the scientific findings of climate change and dramatic predictions of catastrophic consequences accompanied by policy demands. The former can be evaluated by its evidence, but; the latter rest only on assertions and claims to authority. Alternate predictions of benefits from projected changes have been proposed with comparable authority and plausibility."
Another Australian, who testified before a Senate panel last year, Professor Robert Carter, observed, "My main reaction to Michael Griffin is to congratulate him on his clear-sightedness, not to mention his courage in speaking out on such a controversial topic."
Dr. Tim Ball, a Canadian climatologist, responded: "Griffin's statement is sensible because it allows time for the testing of the man-made global warming hypothesis to continue as it should."
"I certainly support Griffin's comments," said William Kininmonth, a former head of the Australian National Climate Centre. "Not only is it speculative to claim that humans can in any way influence the course of climate but it is arrogant to suggest that today's climate is getting worse than it has been in the past."
Kansas geologist, Lee Gerhard added, "Griffin's statement focuses on the hubris that affects much of public policy. It is great to know that someone out there besides geologists understands that humans do not dominate earth's dynamic systems."
Said Ross McKitrick, an economist at the University of Guelph, "Claims of major, impending catastrophe are speculative and go far beyond what has been credibly established by researchers to date. Hence Griffin's view is not at all controversial or out of step with available evidence, and he should be commended for having the courage to say it. The fact that it took courage, however, points to the deeper problem that questioning the catastrophic propaganda we hear so much is now considered politically incorrect."
Dr. Pat Michaels at the University of Virginia agrees: "NASA Administrator Michael Griffin's statement about whether or not it is in fact a "problem" is supported by a scientific literature that his employee, James Hansen, appears to ignore."
Finally, Harvard University physicist Lubos Motl praised Griffin's climate comments, calling them "sensible." On his public blog, Motl said he applauds Michael Griffin and encourages him to act as "a self-confident boss of a highly prestigious institution." "I have always believed that the people who actually work with hard sciences and technology simply shouldn't buy a cheap and soft pseudoscientific propaganda such as the 'fight against climate change,'" Motl added.
Nice list of skeptical scientists, wouldn't you agree? Mightn't it have been appropriate for Blakemore and Sandell to quote at least one of these folks?
Instead, the ABC piece again cited NASA's Global Warmingist-in Chief James Hansen, who NewsBusters reported about on Thursday. The article also quoted Michael Oppenheimer, "a Princeton University atmospheric scientist and lead author of some of the latest reports issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change," and the always handy anonymous NASA scientists who "asked that their names not be used because they did not want to jeopardize their careers."
Isn't it wonderful how news agencies can always find anonymous sources to quote when no one wants to go on the record?
Regardless, quite a nicely balanced article from ABC, wouldn't you agree? After all, from this piece, you wouldn't know that there were any scientists that came out strongly in support of Griffin's statements.
Think that might have been the point, or am I just getting too cynical for my own good?

ELLI AND OWEN'S WEDDINGSeptember, 2010 in Portland
"Our wedding was September 4th 2010, the day after Hurricane Earl came up the coast. We had an outside ceremony at the Eastern Prom Gazebo at Fort Allen Park. Reception was at Grace Restaurant on Chestnut Street. Portland is an ideal location for a wedding, not only because I grew up there, but because there are many places to stay and a lot for your guests to do. It was a beautiful day! Wedding Mapper saved the day with their easy to use seating chart. I loved it. My event coordinator at Grace was also very happy with it and with me when I could print him a list of everyone's name and what they were eating."

This (almost) daily post intends to follow up the activity changes of volcanoes all over the world.
This post is written by geologist Richard Wilson who specializes in Volcano seismicity and Armand Vervaeck. Please feel free to tell us about new or changed activity if we haven't written about it. -
November 30, 2012 volcano activity
KVERT reports that the Tolbachik eruption may have intensified with the opening of another fissure on the volcano's north flank. Satellite imagery still does not detect an SO2 cloud clearly (solely) related to the eruption. This is likely due to the eruption plume's low altitude (<20,000 ft asl).
Exhalations at Popocatepetl volcano (Mexico) averaged about two per hour over the past 24 hours. Continuous low-level volcanic tremor at the volcano appears to have given way to small discrete earthquakes.
Pacaya volcano (Guatemala) (station PCG) seems to be in a similar mode where continuous tremor has subsided and morphed-into numerous low-frequency earthquakes. Seismicity at nearby Santa Maria volcano (station STG6) has also changed during the past 24 hours. Continuous degassing produced tremor has changed to numerous "clone" earthquakes. This type of activity has been frequently observed at dome-extruding volcanoes (Mount Saint Helens, Soufriere Hills, Mount Redoubt and others) and is an indication of lava extrusion.
Masaya volcano (Nicaragua) (station MASN) continues to experience somewhat elevated levels of volcanic tremor and low-level volcanic tremor is apparent on records at nearby Concepcion volcano (station CONN) this morning.
Seismograms for the Colombian volcanoes have still not updated.
Eruptive activity has strengthened dramatically (at least according to volcano-seismicity there!) at Reventador volcano (Ecuador) (station CONE).
Volcanic tremor has strengthened and small earthquakes have become more numerous overnight at Ruapehu volcano (New Zealand). Tremor also appears to be up at nearby Tongariro volcano and offshore at White Island volcano.
Recent satellite imagery shows a relatively strong SO2 plume over Nevado Del Ruiz volcano (Colombia), another over Nyiragongo volcano (DRC), and yet another "mystery SO2 plume" from either Manam, Langila, Uluwan, or Tavurvur volcanoes (New Guinea).

Why Hattiesburg?
As one of Mississippi's largest and fastest-growing cities, conveniently located to 80% of the state's population, Hattiesburg is home to a generous variety of first-rate venues, more than 2,500 hotel rooms and Mississippi's premier meeting facility, the Lake Terrace Convention Center. But a convenient location, affordable and upscale meeting facilities and comfortable accommodations are just a few of the must-haves when you are planning a successful meeting, convention, reunion or motorcoach group tour. Ultimately, convening in Hattiesburg is memorable because of our people — friendly and seasoned professionals who are solely committed to delivering the ultimate experience to your group.

Sold my SKS/AK mag for $250 5 years ago. Just sold my PSL package (big package) last month for $1300 (now valued at $2500) to fund an optic for my Mk12. All that money went into reloading components ******.
Sorry I haven't gotten around to posting pics of the upgrades I made to my old AMD-65 I mentioned in my original post, but here it is -- I'm still waiting on an extended grip screw to add my replacement pistol grip, but this pic shows the new quad rail fore-end and reflex sight (red or green versions of 4 different reticles at 3 different intensities). Today was my first trip to the range to get the reflex sight adjusted and dialed in.
Apologies for the fuzzy iPhone pics, but it's all I had with me at the range today...
Was looking for a battle rifle just as everything went nuts. I acquired a lightly-used Saiga .308 just before Christmas for an ungodly $800. I bought 2-25 round, 3 20-round and 2 10-round magazines for it for another $200. I also ordered all the parts to convert the trigger and stock to the classic AK configuration, another $200. Adding a decent bipod and recoil pad will run me another $100. Expensive, but I have a gun I wanted, while still legal to obtain. I consider myself fortunate.

Laura Robinson:
The secrets I find on the mysterious ocean floor
Hundreds of meters below the surface of the ocean, Laura Robinson probes the steep slopes of massive undersea mountains. She's on the hunt for thousand-year-old corals that she can test in a nuclear reactor to discover how the ocean changes over time. By studying the history of the earth, Robinson hopes to find clues of what might happen in the future.
