It doesn't take long to figure out how much baseball meant, and still means, to Commings.
"I really miss that one-on-one battle with just me and the pitcher," Commings said. "It's always fun running down balls in the outfield, making diving catches."
For now, though, Commings is playing a pretty critical role for the Georgia football team.
The sophomore has started two straight games at cornerback, and was the Bulldogs' second-leading tackler in last week's rout of Tennessee.
When this season started, he was merely in the mix to play in some nickel and dime situations. But the concussions to Branden Smith, and Commings' own consistent play, have vaulted him into a bigger role.
"Coach basically said I'm always in position to make a play on the ball," Commings said. "I haven't gotten beat so far. So I guess it's worked to my advantage. I've been able to work my way into the starting lineup."
For a Georgia secondary that has been burned often by big plays, Commings' ability to keep guys checked is a huge benefit.
"I think he's a good example of, when I first came here we talked about rewarding guys for getting better, and you know, buying in and improving every week," defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said.
Grantham said the turning point for Commings this season was against Arkansas, the third game. The Bulldog secondary was beaten early and often by Razorback star quarterback Ryan Mallett, but Grantham said Commings "held up" in that game.
As a freshman, Commings played in three games before taking a medical redshirt, with a shoulder injury. Last year Commings played mostly in nickel packages. He had an interception in the Independence Bowl, which he said gave him some confidence heading into this year.
"He's got some size, some physicality to him and because the way the guy worked and the way the guy preformed in the Arkansas game we'll continue to play him," Grantham said.
Commings was a two-sport star at Westside High School in Augusta, batting .406 with six home runs as a junior. The Diamondbacks drafted him in the 37th round of the 2008 draft.
He chose football, because 37th-round money isn't exactly life-changing. But he hasn't closed the book on baseball, and said he might look into playing it next spring.
"As long as my grades stay up," he said.
That hasn't been much of a problem. Commings has made the Dean's List several times at Georgia, and is majoring in pre-business. That could take him into a number of fields – Commings said he's thought about being a lawyer, or going into sports management or business.
But when he was asked what career he would pick if football didn't work out, he had a one-word answer:
"Baseball," he said.

Export suspension already causing difficulties: Farley
AAco head David Farley says there is a limited window for live cattle exports and the livelihoods of graziers are at risk.
Source: Inside Business | Duration: 8min 52sec
Topics: company-news, federal-government, livestock-welfare, beef-cattle, australia, indonesia
ALAN KOHLER, PRESENTER: Decades of hard work building up the $500 million live cattle trade came crashing down overnight this week following the Four Corners program about animal welfare abuses in Indonesian abattoirs, complete with the screening of horrific scenes of brutality.
The Federal Government's decision to halt the trade was swift.
But what happens now? And what does it mean for the Top End's economy, where the live cattle business is so important.
I spoke to Australia's biggest cattle producer, AAco chief David Farley, who had to issue a big profit downgrade this week after the ban was announced.
Well David Farley, what's the state of play in the industry right now?
DAVID FARLEY, CEO, AACO: Well state of play at the moment's definitely in the hands of the Australian Government.
Julia Gillard, Joe Ludwig: we're looking for direction from them. We need to know a timetable, we need to know terms, condition, accreditation, what is the process required to get this going again.
There's many, many, tens of thousands of head of cattle at the moment literally directed to the north, directed towards Indonesia. There's an industry that works on a seasonal flow and there's a genetic flow within the animals themselves that won't stop and the industry at the moment is sitting in bated breath, it's idle and the only people that can give it direction are the Prime Minister and Joe Ludwig himself.
ALAN KOHLER: Well at what point does this become a real problem?
DAVID FARLEY: It's a real problem today, Alan. Decisions are having to be made to either feed cattle in yards, put cattle back on trucks and send them back to their origins, decisions have to be made on the stations themselves what to do with cattle, decisions are having to be made with staffing, decisions are having to be made with truck companies.
It's not a matter of when, it's a matter of now. We're dealing with living, breathing animals, we're dealing with a seasonal window of opportunity of time and we're dealing with commerce. Bit more importantly, we're dealing with the big picture; the big issue is we're dealing with animal welfare.
ALAN KOHLER: Well speaking of animal welfare, did you know before Tuesday how the cattle were being treated in Indonesian abattoirs?
DAVID FARLEY: Look, no. The reality of the Four Corners program was gut-wrenching to every pastoralist, including ourselves. We stand on equal foot with any Australian. We were disturbed, horrified at what we've seen. I personally have never seen anything of such an horrific nature and I'm sure most of my pastoralist friends haven't as well.
You know, we need to congratulate Lyn White. She's done a fantastic job bringing it to our attention. We've got an industry body that's looking after our interest. They weren't able to bring it to us as graphically as what Four Corners has been deliver it to us. And more importantly, they've been able to deliver a message that will create action, will fix the problem. They've put an immediacy to it.
There's been a failing, a structural failing within our industry in delivering the message and the reality of what was happening over there. Yet, the issue now is immediate. I'm convinced that the industry has the capability and the desire, and more importantly, has the ability to fix it extremely quickly.
We need to fix it with government, we need to fix it with the Indonesian government, but we need to know an immediacy now of timeframes, protocols, policies, etc., to get the trade moving again.
ALAN KOHLER: Yeah, but to what extent should the industry blame itself or in fact blame the Meat and Livestock Corporation for not keeping an eye what was going on over there?
DAVID FARLEY: Well, you know, the industry had an investment program going in Indonesia and the investment program actually running hand in hand with the Australian Government. The industry expanded.
I don't think the industry moved fast enough, hard enough, invested quickly enough, and their reporting back to its members was without doubt not as detailed or as deep as what Four Corners and Lyn White have been able to deliver back. So, the industry's been caught wanting on its own internal reporting.
ALAN KOHLER: But do you think there was an element in the industry of turning a blind eye to what was going on in Indonesia, of not really wanting to know?
DAVID FARLEY: No, look, if you take it from - the people that count here are the pastoralists. It's their dollars that go into the MLA budgets and it's their representatives that sit on the boards.
I don't think it was a matter of turning a blind eye, not at all. I just think it was inadequate investment decisions, inadequate internal auditing decisions and an industry that was going that fast that our industry wasn't keeping up with its rapid expansion.
ALAN KOHLER: Right. Well the minister said that he's going to appoint an independent reviewer and that the live cattle trade has been suspended until that review's completed - but only until then. So basically you're on the same page.
I mean, what you're saying though is that while the review's taking place the live cattle trade should continue. Is that correct?
DAVID FARLEY: The reality is there's a seasonal flow that's happening now. We're living with living, breathing animals that are positioned ready to go. Decisions need to be made around those today, this evening, at lunchtime: do we feed them in the yards, do we disband these animals, do we put them back on trucks, do we send them south? What decisions need to be made today?
There are facilities in Indonesia that are well-accredited to meet the standards that are being called on and it seems inequitable that those facilities are suspended and put in limbo. There're ships sitting idled in harbour at great big demurrage charges. There's - as I said, there's cattle in yards, there's trucks waiting, there's a flow system on now that needs to be addressed.
ALAN KOHLER: So is it a matter of money? I mean, are you saying that the Federal Government should now pay for whatever happens to the cattle now for where they are, whether they're slaughtered in Australia or sent back to where they're from?
DAVID FARLEY: No. Look, first and foremost it's not a matter of money. This is a matter of getting animal welfare right. This is not an issue of a suspended trade or banned trade. This is about managing, banding and eliminating animal cruelty out of our food chain supply systems.
ALAN KOHLER: Yeah, but who should pay for what happens to the cattle now?
DAVID FARLEY: Well, the real issue now is that we need decisions being made now. You know, at the moment, lack of - the biggest operator in animal welfare at the moment in Australia is the Australian Government itself.
Those animals in yards are in the flow at the moment are waiting for a direction from the Prime Minister or the Minister of Agriculture, Joe Ludwig. They are the biggest cattle handler in Australia at the moment. They have the biggest position of animal welfare in Australia at the moment.
ALAN KOHLER: So are you saying you're not asking for compensation?
DAVID FARLEY: I'm sure the issues of compensation, the legalities around the government decisions and all that will be down the pipeline. But we've got immediate decisions to be made today. We've got to know which way to feed animals, which way to direct animals, what are we going to do? And issues of compensation are secondary as opposed to the immediate.
ALAN KOHLER: And what's the impact of this on your company, AAco?
DAVID FARLEY: Well, 30 per cent of our revenues are derived from the live cattle export. We're about 50 per cent through our program for the 2011 year. If we have to turn these cattle around, it delays their commercial realisation for a good full year. AAco is a substantial company and we'll be able to weather this storm.
I - where I have a real problem at the moment is there's many family producers, many Indigenous communities that are reliant on this once-a-year cash flow, once-a-year seasonal opportunity. They're sitting in remote isolated communities trying to work out what to do. The social and financial implications of this immediate decision in the north of Australia is devastating.
ALAN KOHLER: What's your sense of how the Indonesians feel about this, and what do you think they'll do in future? Will they simply import live cattle from somewhere else or are they likely to import beef from Australia that's already been slaughtered here?
DAVID FARLEY: In Indonesia itself, yes, there's concern about what's going to happen to their protein supply. It's not immediate. You know, there's cattle in the pipeline in Indonesia to meet their demands.
But as we come into the Ramadan season where cattle consumption peaks, people will be looking where is their red meat protein. So, unless there is a resolution to Australia immediately it will be challenging 90 to 100 days out. Those cattle need to be moving in there now to meet the supply chain cycles.
ALAN KOHLER: Thanks very much joining us, David Farley.
DAVID FARLEY: Thanks very much, Alan.

Death Spray Custom's "Deadly Sin" fork collection continues with envy, a snakeskin pattern rendered in neon hulk, poisonous metallic snake green and glock metal black. If you've ever wanted one of these pieces of art, now's your chance. Head over to Death Spray Custom for ordering.
David at Death Spray Custom is releasing seven forks in the Deadly Sin Collection. Each fork is custom painted by hand and is inspired from one of the seven sins, beginning with green. This Columbus fork is painted with gold Hatton Wall diamond metal flake with platinum and features "coke white" detailing. Order now at DSC's Web Shop.

Morgan Bateman got in touch with Stinner Frameworks last year wanting to build one of those "lifetime bikes." Stainless steel was a must and Columbus XCR as the tubeset of choice. Easy right? Wrong. Getting an XCR tubeset is quite difficult, so they knew there would be a wait. In that time however, it opened up options to do something a little more creative.
Man oh man, David at Death Spray Custom just posted his latest Fork You at the DSC Tumblr and I couldn't help myself… Whose fork is this?!
David at Death Spray Custom is my favorite painter in the industry and his recent work with GoPro gives an insight into why. Great job David!
I like the sound of that and I love the well-documented work of an artist like Death Spray Custom.
Man, I still can't believe David from Death Spray Custom painted bikes for each of the Cannondale team riders in this year's Tour. What a huge undertaking that must have been, especially when you see the detail he put into just the fork (you). Keep an eye on the Death Spray Blog for more…
At this point, my Geekhouse Mudville is about as worn out as I am. It's traveled the world multiple times and each trip to Australia, the build is slightly different.
Looking back, had I known this bike had clearances for up to a 42c tire, I would have ditched the 33c world a long time ago. For big, big rides, those 40c Nanos are the way to go. Surly's Knard 41c looks like a great option as well, but I've yet to try them.
Over the past few years, this bike has proven itself to me time and time again. While there are a few characteristics that make a cross bike less-than-ideal for big tough dirt rides, I'd say it's an all around, solid tool for the job. Even doing 'road rides' on a 40c ain't as bad as you'd think.
Looking forward, I'm not sure what kind of bike I'd like to use for 'dirt riding' and travel. A road geometry with a slighly-slacker head tube angle is best suited for descending steep, rutted and sketchy fire roads, but the clearances for a larger tire make any rocky surface just kinda disappear, even on singletrack.
I'd love to make a bike with a road BB drop, a slightly slacker heat tube and enough room for a 40c tire but for now, this bike is ripping! Out of all of my bikes, it's seen the most action and it shows, especially after a long ride like the two day Bush Blast (day 1 and day 2).
After that ride, I have had these photos on my desktop and figured I'd share them.
David at Death Spray Custom has been busy preparing for the 2014 Tour de France. Many moons again, Cannondale commissioned him to paint a bike for each rider, adorned with their spirit animals, inspired by native American Haida style.
The fleet looks amazing, so head over to Death Spray Custom to see each rider's bike! Brakethrough did a great job documenting these bikes.

Melody Tarleton is driving home for Christmas when a man--clad in Revolutionary War-era costume--appears out of nowhere, right in the path of her car. Shaken, she takes the injured stranger in, listening with concern to Jake Mallory's fantastic claim that he's a Patriot soldier executed by British authorities.
Bringing Jake to her parents' house, Melody concocts a story to explain the handsome holiday guest with the courtly manners and strange clothes. Mark, her close friend who wishes he were more, is skeptical, but her family is fascinated. So is Melody. Jake is passionate, charming and utterly unlike anyone she's ever met. Can he really be who he claims? And can a man from the distant past be the future she truly longs for?

Excellent staff, Dr. Garcia is my dentist, but all the dentist's that my husband and I have used there have been very helpful, great chairside manners. Even if there are problems, Dr. Garcia has gone out of his way to make sure I am happy and that all ends up satisfactoraly. We were going to an excellent doctor in the area, but could not afford his fees. We were concerned in the beginning that less expensive might mean less care, etc. It has turned out not to be so. I am a terrible dental patient and Dr. Garcia has always taken his time with me and accommodated the fact that I am in a wheelchair and scared to death. They have gas and what I call twilight (iv meds) if needed and I do. Mine will be long term dentistry because of meds I am on has ruined my teeth. Patience with my fears has really been a biggy for me. So my husband and I would most certainly recommend Dr. Garcia and the other doctors in his office.

Shopping in Maine
There's something about Maine that makes you want to take a piece of it home with you. Several pieces, most likely. You'll know it when you see it.
- Find a unique memento to commemorate your visit, or the perfect gift for someone else. It might be a trinket you buy at a boutique store, a few blocks from the harbor. Where you laughed with the shopkeeper, heard her story and the story of her shop.
- Or it might be an antique sale inside an old barn in the countryside, where you learned the story of the local ceramics created from the rich clay of Maine, and the stories of old sea captains who came into town to barter their goods from overseas.
- You can always take home something more practical—a jacket to keep warm while skiing, a hand-hewn board for surfing the waves, even a wallet or bag made from recycled sailcloth. It'll be both useful and a reminder of how much fun you had exploring Maine.

Editorial, August 6
"In ordinary circumstances, the arrest of the man said to be al-Qaida's chief in Britain would be seen as a triumph, while discovering plans to attack Heathrow would inspire gratitude for our security services. Yet even as the hunt continues for terrorists on the run, the public mood appears to be one of cynicism and mistrust ...
"David Blunkett, the home secretary ... and the security services may feel they are damned whatever they do. Arrests made on the basis of intelligence information rarely leads to convictions, since the evidence usually can't be used in court. But should they just wait passively until al-Qaida strikes?"
Editorial, August 6
"The government's policy is to give out as little information as possible. The result ... is endless speculation and a good deal of confusion ... There is a strong case for the establishment of a [government] department ... to take responsibility for issuing warnings ... It would be unreasonable to expect the government to publish every piece of intelligence that it receives. But a better balance can be struck than the state of affairs that prevails where we have either total silence ... or full-scale alerts ...
"The discovery of detailed plans on the computers of two al-Qaida agents in Pakistan seems to have led directly to this week's security scares. Since there is every reason to believe that this pattern will continue, the government should waste no time in ensuring that its domestic warning system is appropriate to the age of insecurity in which we live."
Editorial, August 6
"President Pervez Musharraf is an important ally in the west's campaign against global terrorism. Pakistan has captured more than 500 terrorist suspects, provided moral and logistical support to the confrontation with al-Qaida and has passed on to western intelligence agencies details of alleged conspiracies uncovered during arrests and interrogations ...
"Pakistan has been understandably guarded in revealing the extent to which the foiling of terrorist plots to attack Heathrow and financial centres in America were the result of the capture last week of a computer expert ... This is partly because Pakistan's own intelligence agency, the ISI, is of dubious loyalty and riven by factionalism that would be exacerbated by links to western agencies; partly, also, it is because Gen Musharraf has taken risks in confronting al-Qaida, and has no need to expose his agents to further revenge attacks."
Daily Telegraph
Editorial, August 6
"On the basis of these arrests, Gen Musharraf can claim to be playing a key role in the fight against global terror ... Yet the president's claim of success is, surely, premature ... Pakistan remains a hotbed of Islamic radicalism, stoked notably by the madrasas , or religious schools, whose power the general has singularly failed to curb ...
"As a western ally, Pakistan is in many ways comparable to Saudi Arabia. The two countries have given substantial support to Islamic radicals ... Now, they are threatened by the militancy that they have done so much to underwrite."
Editorial, August 7
"If Gen Musharraf were not doing his damnedest to fight terror, why would the terrorists keep trying to kill him? ... The US, which has rewarded the general richly for his troubles, considers him a bulwark against Islamic extremism. But many others do not. They point out [that] his record against domestic extremism groups who succour [al-Qaida] is patchier.
"When Pakistan is riven by sectarian violence ... a few suspect militants are arrested and a few extremist groups are ... banned. But the groups' leaders are usually left at large ... In his efforts to attach democratic trappings to his dictatorship, Gen Musharraf has given the mullahs a lead role in running the country ... His supporters say that there is a clear distinction between the mullahs in parliament and the terrorists. This is generally true. Yet their friends and their ideologies are often the same ...
"To fight terrorism, Gen Musharraf must do more than round up a few big-name terrorists. He must disband the home-grown extremists that are their allies, and the madrasas that provide them with recruits. Above all, he must change the political culture of a country where military dictatorship and religious extremism have for so long gone hand-in-hand."
Editorial, Pakistan, August 6
"Even if one detects a bit of over-optimism in Gen Musharraf's claim that Pakistan is winning the war on terror, he may have reasons for sounding ... confident ... Recently, Pakistani security agencies have met with some successes in arresting a couple of high-profile foreign terrorists ... Further progress in detecting terrorist networks has not been divulged, but there is no doubt that the government is determined to continue its hunt for foreigners and their local accomplices ...
"While foreign leaders and media have accused the government of not doing enough, politicians at home have accused it of succumbing to foreign pressure ... But the point to stress is that the war on terror can achieve better results if it is carried out with the backing of political parties and civil society."

Hot Dish
The Cotes du Coeur fine-wine auction and dinner takes place this year on February 10 at the Hyatt Regency. The event, expected to gross $500,000, was founded in 1992 by a Dallas physician, Dr. James Hillert, a true believer in the heart-health benefits of wine. Wine aristocracy from around the world will be flying to Dallas to attend what has become one of the premier wine auctions in the country. Bids will be accepted on more than 575 lots: rare wines (a jeroboam of Champagne Louis Roederer 1988 Cristal, valued at $8,000), vertical (same wine, several vintages) and horizontal (several wineries, same vintage) collections, as well as fantasy trips to major wine-growing regions (a week in Napa and Sonoma Valleys).

Very nice place to stay, well located, bright and spacious appartment. Everything we needed.
Nuria, the hostess was very friendly and helpful.
We enjoyed it a lot and hope to go back.
Great apartment. Fully equipped with nice location. Very friendly owner. One major problem we had was the elevator. Some of us got stuck in it for more than 40 minutes until we got rescued by local firefighters. Otherwise, it would have been a perfect stay.
Perfect appartment in a beautiful, central location. Impeccable service and contact with the host.
Piso perfecto en un barrio central. Servicio y contacto con la anfitriona fue impecable.
Great location, good sized appartement for a family of 4 (2 kids), very nice host! Sleeping rooms are out to the back which was luckily quiet. The pedestrian street is out to the front which can get busy at night - adds to the atmosphere.
One missing star for the beds which were a little on the soft side for our taste.
We had a fantastic stay in Sevilla! This appartment, on a perfect location, is really super! Txs Nuria!
Nice flat, convenient with 2 bathrooms, fully equipped, typical in old but renovated building. Very central, a lively area, nice view on the small streets an the Setas which are a good viewpoint to start with.
Nuria is very friendly and helpful.
We were happy to stay there and would like to come back.
Very nice place, flat comfortable and good situation, Nuria is very receptive and always ready to help (we arrived very late and she was there waiting for us :-) )
We will rent it again for sure.
thank you
Todo perfecto. Nuria un encanto. Dispuesto a todo. La casa muy acogedora y en buen sitio. A 15 minutos de la catedral. Las vistas a las setas. Debajo de casa todo lo necesario, bien para desayunar, comer o cenar. También tomar un rebujito. Gracias.

User Ratings & Opinions
|A Well-crafted Holster for iPhone 6 and 6s
User: Michael F, Jun 27, 2016
|I have enjoyed using Turtlebacks horizontal iPhone 6 and 6s holster. It is a stylish and casual solution for carrying your iphone 6 or 6s with or without a protective case, and is designed for easy retrieval and replacement while on-the-go. The holster stays securely clipped to your belt even when seated. The lid, secured with magnets, is easy to open, and the fabric lining protects your phone. Overall, it is an excellent product that I highly recommend.
|Didnt last 1 year
User: Steve H, Aug 16, 2016
I bought the Turtleback Case Horizontal Nylon Holster in the fall of 2015. When I received it, I immediately noted how bulky it is. Everything about it is bulky, the case itself, the swivel mechanism, and the belt clip. All bulky, but I figured thats the price Id pay for protective and convenient access to a relatively bulky phone.
Several months in, the magnets inside the fabric of the flap closing the case became unseated and moved around inside the flap. This rendered the flap useless, but I coped by tucking the flap into the case, obviating the need for magnetic closure. Less convenient, to be sure, but still usable.
About 9 months in, the metal flange that supports the swiveling case/clip connection began to loosen, turning in its mount. The result was I could no longer disconnect the case from the clip because I couldnt correctly position the case to let it slide off the flat portion of the flange. Less convenient, to be sure, but still usable.
About 10 months in, the flange entirely fell off its mount on the belt clip. I didnt notice when this happened. I reached for my phone and it (and the case) wasnt there! Rather alarming. I did find the case with my phone in my car. I was lucky that it fell off while I was driving, and not after I had exited my car.
Im disappointed. This case didnt even last one year of typical non-vigorous (at least in my opinion) use.

Looking for a new roommate to share my room in our Camperdown apartment. I make a great roommate :)
Only about 300m from Sydney University, shared with 3 x other quiet, friendly flatmates.
All water, electricity and WiFi included.
I generally only stay here 4 days a week so you will have the room all to yourself some of the time.
Ideal candidate:
- Uni student or someone with a job
- Someone who is quiet - I study at Sydney University and value sleep
- Someone who is clean (both personal hygiene and cleaning up after yourself)
- Non smoker
- Longer term stay preferred
The unit is clean, has air conditioning. Fridge and freezer and washing machine available for use.
There is a double mattress you can use or you can bring your own.
Rent is $606 / month (about $140/week), which is very cheap given what a nice unit and good location it is in. Important to always pay your rent on time though.
Some limited additional loft storage also available.

This all happened before Jacqui Smith became home secretary, so you can at least hold the remarks about what happens when you put a woman on the job. Any other witticisms you might have, however, bring them on - because this story is fairly crying out for them. The Home Office has suggested that immigration officers should consider wearing pastel colours when deporting families from the UK, so they appear less frightening.
While I'm a fan of a light hue, I don't share the touching faith of the Border and Immigration Agency that being wrenched from your home and tumbled into an uncertain and turbulent future can be offset by an officer attired in a fetching shade of rose.
(Although on the other hand, what should the home office have suggested? That everyone gets kitted out in black leather and peaked caps for the deportation, just to really scare the bejeebus out of everyone involved? If a fluffy peppermint angora cardigan makes one crying child feel even a smidgen better about what is about to happen to him or her, then I couldn't be more for it. Really, dress them up as bunnies if you think it might help.)
Ridiculous as ordering people into sweeetie-coloured clothes might be, the government is helpfully highlighting the issue of workwear and uniforms, and what exactly our attire says about us. Take the current immigration officer uniform. It's navy: dark, officious, the colour of night. No wonder it hardly generates a wave of reassurance when someone wearing it knocks on your door.
Not that a uniform in a beautiful hue would be much better. The first rule of wearing a uniform is that nobody looks good in a uniform. It would seem to go against statistical probability that an outfit worn by a workforce of thousands could manage to look heinous on every single one of them, but there you have it. Second, the principle function of any uniform is a negation of the personality of the person wearing it. If you're a complete rebel you might opt for a prohibited length of earring, but that really is it as far as it goes.
Which means that if you wear one to work, you're probably in an industry where the people you deal with don't really care about you. They want to know they'll get their food. They want to know you're not going to mis-scan their curly kale and generate a bill of £456.43 at the checkout. They want to know that when the plane goes into a nosedive you will help people secure their lifejackets, not run up and down the aisles screaming, "We're doomed!" Beyond that, they don't really care.
Still, at least you don't have the daily ordeal of the non-uniform wearing masses: what shall I wear to work today? The answer to that question is invariably this: some slight variation on what you wore yesterday. Because it's true that no matter how laidback your office, or how zany your personal style, once you pick an office look you've got to stick to it.
People enjoy continuity and reassurance, not least in an environment where the slightest tremor of change carries the risk of adversely affecting their own workplace rhythms. Of course, it's unlikely to do them any harm, but try it. If you're a jeans-and-trainers type, go to work tomorrow in heels and red lipstick. The person opposite you will be on edge all day. Especially if you're a man, I'd imagine. Though, men, you should really know that picking out what shoes to wear to work is a lot more rewarding than endlessly churning through the same old shirt-and-tie combinations.
Indeed, is there anyone who really doesn't give what they wear to work the slightest thought? Well, there's me, I suppose. Since I'm writing this from home I'm currently attired in my pyjamas. At 4.30pm. email@example.com

The Betfair Hurdle at Newbury today looks as wide open as ever but Swing Bowler (3.35) is a sporting bet at double-figure odds to keep up her -excellent run and notch her sixth win on the trot.
She has been hoisted 11lb in the ratings for her latest victory, a convincing -success at Musselburgh in a race that should work out well, but such is the nature of this much sought after prize that she can -compete off a feather weight in this tougher grade.
This annual puzzle is made even -trickier this year by the fact that there are no -obvious front-runners to guarantee a fast pace. However, the David Pipe-trained mare has the lethal combination of speed, as evidenced in her races, and stamina in her pedigree to suggest that she may not be as inconvenienced as others, whichever way the race is run.
The fact that she has proven -experience in handicap company will stand her in good stead and earns her the nod over strongly fancied novices such as My Tent Or Yours and Court Minstrel. The drying ground is very much in favour of the fairly handicapped Claret Cloak.
1.50 Newbury The handicapper keeps clobbering Master Of The Sea but the step up in trip, which seems sure to suit, might offset the added burden.
2.05 Warwick Classy Hey Big Spender is well weighted now and is given another chance over a favoured track and with a tongue strap fitted.
2.25 Newbury Difficult to enthuse about the bulk of these today but that cannot be said of the progressive Cheltenham Gold Cup hope Silviniaco Conti, who should reward short odds backers on his way to his much tougher assignment at the -Festival next month.
2.40 Warwick Marshal Zhukov is one to keep on the right side of but it was hard not to be impressed last time by Fago, who can bolster his Arkle Trophy claims here.
3.00 Newbury There may be a lot less -runners but this is as big a head scratcher as the Betfair Hurdle. It would be no -surprise to see Edgardo Sol or Tanks For That win but they have both been deserted by their stable jockeys and the fact Ruby Walsh has chosen the unexposed Shooters Wood suggests he might improve past these.
3.20 Leopardstown The most -fascinating race of the day bar none as Gold Cup -fancies Sir Des Champs and Flemenstar take each other on for the third time this season. At Cheltenham Sir Des Champs, who looks as if he is being -campaigned with that one race in mind, can be expected to outstay Flemenstar. Today, Flemenstar can make it three -nil over his rival so far for this campaign. He went like much the best horse in the field last time in the Lexus and will surely be held on till later this afternoon.

Highland Park Malt Whisky 70Cl
Add to basket
Product information
Multi-award-winning malt, named the 'best spirit in the world'* - One of the most respected malt whiskies in the world
Highland Park is supported by a national consumer sampling campaign - Growing drinker numbers and increasing demand
Balance of smoke and sherry wood create a unique heather honey sweetness - An exceptional malt experience that is gently smoky but surprisingly sweet
Authentic Orcadian bottle design - Superb standout in bar and strong consumer recognition
*Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal
Natural colour; reddish gold Orkney sunset.
Butterscotch, dark chocolate and orange.
Full flavour, candied orange peel with spicy dark
chocolate leading to a rich smoky sensation.
Rich, complex, sweet smoky sensation then
soft medium dry.
Named Best Single Malt of the Year
at the World Whisky Awards 2009.
Abiding care and attention, the hallmark of Highland Park production, manifests itself in the distinctive aromatic, full-bodied floral sweetness of the whisky. Highland Park's incomparable balance comes from a tension between the aromatic Orkney peat and the sweetness of oak casks seasoned with Oloroso sherry.
History and Heritage
Orkney is abundantly rich in heritage; the Islands have been inhabited for over 5,500 years and each successive culture has added to the legacy of Orkney. This legacy encompasses remarkable Neolithic sites, haunting wartime remains and stunning listed buildings. In addition, the Islands offer an unspoilt environment of breathtaking beauty and clarity.
The Orcadians are justifiably proud of their history, dialect and traditions; traditions which, since 1798, include Highland Park single malt Scotch whisky. Highland Park is happy to reciprocate; we are proud of our Orcadian roots.
Highland Park will forever be associated with Magnus Eunson, who founded the distillery at the end of the 18th century. Eunson was a beadle by day and a smuggler at night, the latter operation based from his bothy on the High Park above Kirkwall where the Highland Park distillery now stands. There may be little evidence of him being an illicit distiller but, over 210 years of distilling history in the same site - resulting in Highland Park arguably becoming the most respected single malt in the world - is evidence enough that he knew his whisky.
Floor Malting: The distillery has 2,000 square feet of stone floors where the malt is traditionally turned every eight hours to promote succulence and balance in Highland Park.
Aromatic Peat: Drying the malt over aromatic Orkney peat imparts distinctive aromas giving our whisky a unique sweet smokiness.
Cold Maturation: Orkney's cool climate encourages even maturation adding balance to our whisky.
Sherry Oak Casks: Maturation in expensive sherry oak casks contributes richness, natural colour and complexity.
Cask Harmonisation: Highland Park is married in oak casks to ensure consistency and continuity in every bottle.

At a resterant a tip is the norm that's why they can work for less than min wage at most. I always tip 15% for normal service and 20 for a great server. I will always leave a dollar or 2 for not so great service unless the waiter is just a lazy ass then nothing. Oil change workers get paid a normal hourly rate.

'Freedom' bill yet to see a final vote
There are 26 comments on the Orlando Sentinel story from Apr 28, 2008, titled 'Freedom' bill yet to see a final vote. In it, Orlando Sentinel reports that:Though the Senate passed its "academic freedom" bill Wednesday, the House has not yet voted on its version, which is quite different.

It seems strange to me that liberals who want to preach (uh-oh - wrong word)...I meant want to holler and cry that students are not given alternate concepts to consider such as homosexuality, are the same ones who are now crying that students are given too much information and opposing concepts. It's not that the students are getting too much information. It's that liberals realize students would be getting information that undermines the liberal's agenda and ideology.
I was taught both concepts through school and saw no problem with believing whatever I wanted later in life.

It's the mentality that it's my way, or it's no way.
Science is based upon posing questions (theories) and proving or disproving them. I was taught both as well and I too believe what I want to believe.
People are afraid of the unknown. Faith gives some people the ability to believe in something so that they're no longer afraid. Those without a faith are afraid to be wrong so will do whatever is possible to make sure they're not wrong. Unfortunately, children are losing out on critical thinking skills when we spoon feed them one thing or the other.

Sorry but evolution is still a "theory". Check it out before you pass judgement. And by the way, some universities and even high schools teach both mythology and religion. And as long as they don't promote religion over and other belief then you shouldn't have anything to be afraid of.
That proves the point doesn't it that liberals are afraid religion will undermine their effort?
It's a disgrace to make a child, or an adult for that matter, be FORCED to agree with something that goes against their personal beliefs. Of course if your objective is to destroy religion in general then I can see where it's coming from.
If you would (but of course you wouldn't, you're a liberal) allow both to be taught then they would understand both and it not conflict with their beliefs on either side.
For you to quote seperation of church and state is hypocritical when you belong to the same group wanting to disban the public or make everyone who has a firearm register it.
What liberals try to do is say you can not have ANY religion in schools when it is agreed on by what I've seen as most intelligent people that as long as you don't show a preference for one religion over another then there is no problem. By teaching that there is, or could be, devine intervention in our being takes all religions into account, not just one.
You have nothing to fear except fear itself.

Sorry, but your STILL wrong. I have "checked it out" and find your assertions silly.
Evolution is FACT, the theory describes the mechanism. Theory, as you have been told countless times, is the highest order of science.
I have nothing to fear from a rational, factual explanation, something that you and your "science" fail miserably to provide - you have no evidence, you have no science, you have nothing but YOUR faith, which isn't, and NEVER will be science.
You are free (and always have been free) to teach your religion along with any other religions as part of philosophy class, or a comparative religions class, but NOT in a science class.

How embarrassing for our state and country that we would even contemplate teaching creationism in a science class. We're a joke to the rest of Western civilization.

And without faith you have nothing. http://www.actionbioscience.org/evolution/len...
Any time something is partially false then it cant be accepted as true. While evolution has compelling facts not all of it has been proven. Until all of it can be proven then it has to be accepted as theory. Even a liberal should be able to understand that.
There are even theories of divine intervention taking place DURING evolution. That would give another explanation, but of course you cant accept that either. You can accept nothing but your way. You offer no reason for not allowing creationism to be taught along with other theories other than "it doesn't belong"? That's a weak argument.
You remind me of a jealous husband who is so insecure of himself that he goes berserk when his wife looks at another guy. If you so sure of yourself you shouldnt mind others points of view and not try to stop others from seeing it.

Sorry, here's your reason: to teach your "science" would require it to have FACTS to back it up - it doesn't. It NEVER DID. IT NEVER WILL because it is based on unprovable assertions.
You got any facts? Bring it. No scripture allowed, it isn't provable.

WILLIAMSON – Fire destroyed a home on a steep hillside just off of Prichard Street in Williamson early Tuesday morning. The 911 call came in around 4:00 a.m. to the wood-framed house located behind the Episcopal Church.
The dwelling is the former home of the late John Hatfield and his family, a former principal at Williamson Elementary School, according to Williamson Fire Department (WFD) Chief Joey Carey.
"Fire was coming out of the first and second floor windows when we arrived on the scene," Carey said. The blaze had gotten a good start before someone noticed it and called for the fire department. The house was a total loss.
Carey tried to reach the Hatfield family early Tuesday and was finally able to get in contact with William "Bill" Hatfield around 9:30 a.m. Neighbors had told Carey that the house had been for sale and that Bill Hatfield, one of the sons of John Hatfield, had recently been at the home and stayed there from time to time.
Bill Hatfield told Chief Carey that he in fact had been living in the home, but was currently in North Carolina visiting his brother.
The WFD responded with three fire trucks and 14 firefighters.
The Chattaroy Volunteer Fire Department responded with a truck and three men to provide mutual aid.
"We had to drag hoses up from Prichard Street about 300 feet," Carey added, talking about the steep locale of the home. "We also ran a hose from above the home on Little Oak Street. That was about 150 feet away from the fire."
Firefighters had the blaze under control in around 30 minutes, according to Carey.
Carey said at this time the cause of the fire is undetermined. However, he suspects that it was either electrical or possibly a faulty heating unit that could have been the source of the fire.
"I do not suspect anything suspicious," Carey added.
The WFD expected to be at the scene of the fire much of Tuesday morning, continuing to put out hot spots.

Betelgeuse Hitchhikers review...
*The first thing I see is continuity. Gretzky and Kurri rates among the best duos in league history. I'm pretty sure Langway and Murphy would have played together at some point during their Washington years.
*Tkachuk's a guy who is best served on a second line, even though he has the ability to be a first line guy. He is a guy with some warts. He should be fine, though, playing the role of a space-opener with Gretz and Kurri - providing a strong forecheck, working hard along the boards and in the corners, and driving to the front of the net. He'll also provide protection.
*Metz and Jarvis are top-notch defensive forwards. They won't provide much offensively, but they can play a lot of minutes against the opposition's top line. Of course, if they're used too much, they'll take away from the ice time for the second line.
*One question I have is if there's enough toughness up front. How will they stand up to some of the tough, physical, mobile, smart defencemen out there. Will the forwards be able to survive in physical, grinding, best-of-seven series? Or will they be worn down?
*There doesn't appear to be an ace on the blue-line, but there is good depth. Langway and Murphy are solid No. 2s who, as I said before, probably saw some ice time together in Washington, and, at worst, have a strong knowledge of what to expect from each other thanks to their years together. They can also log minutes against the opposition's top pairing, although they might not be an ideal pairing against some of the fastest lines in the draft.
*When I see Harmon on the first PP unit (or any PP unit, for that matter), and Reise on a second PP unit, it makes me wonder about the ability of this defence to advance the puck or work the PP. The flip side is that this is a very reliable, sound and steady defence, and with the exception of Zubov, Jungo should feel comfortable employing any of his defencemen against the opposition's top line.
*Holocek's a solid No. 1. Not terrific. But solid. Won't hurt you. Crozier's one of the better back-ups in the draft.
*I think I like Sinden more than some posters, but he's still a cut below some of the other coaches out there. Probably belongs in the early to mid 20s for coaches.

differences in magical events aren't that relevant but the fact the one story describes magic and the other doesn't seems relevant enough to me.

I don't get what's so wrong with Bernkastel's 'lie.'
It makes sense, if Battler wins and they do return to the real world, that it would change history as it is known. But that technically means Ange should also be in a world where Battler never died. If she returns, it'll be a her that lived those 12 years with Battler, instead of without. She may never realized she was 'rewarded' in the sense that she'll have memories of him always there instead of a specific memory of her saving him and getting him back, but that's not really a negative...

The problem with the bottles is, as long as we don't have a clue who the origin of them could be, we're pretty much fishing in the dark.
As somebody pointed out a few posts ago (and me too), we don't even know for sure if those letters were send from the beach of Rokkenjima.
So far we only know so much, that they describe events contardictory to those that happened on the Rokkenjima of the 3rd game.
If we follow a magical explanation there is only one plausible solutions:
A victim knew through a vision that events like this could happen. The problem with having memories of a past life is, if we really asume this is Beato's game, a person could not have had a recollection of the events during the first game, and considering at least one letter arrived in Episode 1, too, we would have a contradiction there.
If we follow a realistic explanation there are at least two explanations:
a) A victim knew that killings were going to take place, but the person did not know how they were going to be carried out, so s/he wrote several versions of what could have happened and hoped that people in the outside world would be confused enough to figure out the truth.
And as we know 'the truth of the future is always stronger than the truth of the present.', so what we see during those 'games' of Beatrice is just a possible retelling of a person seeking help.
b) The culprit planned out several ideas to carry out his killings, with the only fixed point of the story being 'following the epitaph' and 'the witch reviving'.
S/he had or has some hidden agenda and wants the outside world to never forget about those killings.
In the end if we go by the classical rules of a detective's antagonist, one of those would never leave no hints at all, a win in a race is so much sweeter if you give your opponent a chance and still win.
I think the parallel to Higurashi could lie there (even though I try to avoid them usually).
Spoiler for Higurashi Kai:
The question is, do rules exist in Umineko's case?
But why would you think Ange will be reset anyway? It's not like there is a reset for her? The Ange of 1998 #3 will keep living. Supposedly as much as the Ange of 1998 #1 and #2 if they didn't kill themselves.
That's all of course based on what we know so far.

We are assuming episode1 and 2 have only happened once, while in fact those might be a constant factor, something like the onikakushi,tsumihoroboshi and tatarigoroshi in higurashi; we can even think that beatrice has taken most of the ushiromiya family members to a game in the meta world, adn battelr being the dumbest one is the last one to be taken to it.

Yet it would kinda ruin the effect of calling it a 1st/2nd/3rd game if it were later added that there was a -27th (and downward) game preceding those events...I just think it would be rather anticlimatic.
Not even taking into account that a game with another family member would call for a completely different result in the (then) 1st game (namely another person than Battler denying the witch AND surviving until the last minute).
AND the fact that this only counts if we believe into the letters being a product of metaphysical influence.

Didn't the professor say the handwritting in Maria's book (the stuff in Italian) was the same at the person who wrote the letter's in the bottles?
If so...that whoever wrote those, not only knew Maria, but knew her well enough to be able to write about witches in said book.
Therefore whoever wrote the letters is "Beatrice"...whomever that turns out to really be...in the real world.
But then it would suggest that this person, either planned the murders, suspected the murders, or is the "Special Person A" that can jump universes/time lines and knows what happened in pervious arcs, and thus wrote them down and put them in the bottles for people to find out what really happened.
The biggest problem now...is that we don't know what kind of story this is in the end, since its all "it is all real" verse "Its all magic" worlds. Meta is meta and the magic scenes are fake, but give hints about what really happened, or something is afoot and magic is real to a certain extent. This is what we don't know. We are told that the murders should be done completely by human hands with no magic involved...since witches and magic don't exist.
But what about these letters that tell of worlds that don't exist...but (one assums) did exist in another arc that Meta-Battler would have seen?

Were there letters that describe chapters that don't exist? I was under the impression that there were only two, for the first and second chapter. (Third didn't exactly turn out as planned, so there was none for that.)
Not saying you're wrong, just wondering where you got that.

Which is why I think there is a high probability that the bottles were thrown from Rokkenjima at the same time of the family conference.
In other words...
if the typhoon came then the plan could get in motion and the bottles could be thrown.
If it didn't then the plan would be postponed the next year until the conditions were met.
Well it isn't necessarily true, but I can't see many other ways to justify this fact unless you claim that Beatrice has the power to conjure typhoons.
I, personally, believe that they are telling two of the many possible stories that can be made up with that setting, and by logic I think there are probably more of them scattered around.
The idea that Beatrice can keep memories of past games isn't really of my liking.

The first bottle was found the day after the incident by the police. I don't remember the exact location... maybe Rokkenjima or Niijima anyway not far away.
The second letter was found two years later by a fisherman.

Did anyone noticed that Maria personality is different in this arc? In this story, story # 4 .. she is so polite, obeying her mother and not whining at all, believing in witch but in childish way, carrying her teddy bear (sakutaro) like any little girl. While her personality in the previous arcs, how can I put it .. she was like a devil with his scary laughs, annoying girl with fanatic thoughts about witch and that crown, her strange crown, if I remember she was not wearing it in arc 4, it appeared after Beatrices signed her dairy and changed her form, while she was putting it in the firsts stories.

Well the anime is not at fault in this case, for once.
In the novel Episode 1 as well a lot of details are skipped in the ending explanations and only the fisherman's message in the bottle is mentioned.

so the novel was exactly the same to the anime in ending explanations, i mean abt the letter .. that's mean what we saw was not the first story bottle, or i can say Arc 1 may not be the real first story, we can assume that the first time we saw the series or read the novel (the first ep of the series) they may actually trapped in the island, which there is a possibility that we're seeing out of order stories.
Do u think this can be possible?

Well I do not think the messages actually describe the Episodes we have seen, but regardless of that the possibility that the first Episode is not the one that started it all had struck my mind already in a few situations. I can't say for sure... as long as I don't know what these "games" actually are.
Anyway I wonder if first time anime watcher have noticed a little problem with the messages.
They tell a story where 18 people are trapped in the island.
But they were supposed to be 19 until October 3. The only reason Ange didn't attend the family meeting is because she got sick the day before.

So, is racing cross (never raced cross myself) on a SS more or less of a factor than in the mtb world. In other words, is it less of a big deal with regards to fitness and being able to compete with the geared guys?
I know the climbing around here tends to be less in a CX race than an mtb race.
Also, are disc brakes allowed in all CX races now?
