Despite all common sense, the Cultist crew and friends settled onto Yasi Couch to suffer through what was possibly THE MOST BORING Oscar ceremony of all time. Somewhere around hour 653 of the broadcast (and after the LONE moment anyone should care about- Christopher Plummer taking the Oscar for Beginners) we started discussing songs that define a movie.
It has always been a fantasy career of mine to soundtrack films. My heart collapses with pain/disappointment/sorrow each time I watch Richie Tenenbaum contemplate his life bathed in fluorescent blue light in Wes Anderson's masterpiece (I ACTUALLY watch it weekly). Said heart also swells with excitement/hope/love when Lloyd Dobler stands outside Diane Court's window with his boombox. The perfect song placed at the perfect cinematic moment can moisten the eyes and melt the heart of even the hardest amongst us.
This playlist is our gift to you, dear readers, since we needed to fill our minds with something other than the parade of Frenchmen and yippy dogs who took the stage– and because we are the nerdiest of film and music nerds. Listen here.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Aloha back and I hope things are well in the Pacific. No, you shouldn't be liable for them but the credit card companies may require you to sign an "Affidavit of Fraud" so they can prosecute him for the money they will lose.
You probably want to send them a letter or better yet have a local lawyer send them a letter stating that permission to use the cards was not given and that the merchants obviously failed to check ID and that you aren't responsible for the charges.
You don't have to turn him in but for the credit card companies to excuse you paying they usually require an affidavit stating that you didn't use them or authorize them to be used and they then use the affidavit to try and prosecute.
There is really no need to hire a lawyer other than to send the letters for you. The companies take it more seriously when it comes on a lawyer's letterhead.
Yes, unfortunately so.
There is really no way to escape the obligation without placing him in jeopardy.
Your lawyer may be able to duck and dodge around saying what you think happened but if you have already told them that he did it then it is probably too late to avoid paying AND keep him out of it.
Are you still there?

Breast cancer health centre
This article is from the WebMD News Archive
NHS regulator rejects breast cancer treatment
9th July 2010 -- In draft guidance issued today by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), the drug bevacizumab (Avastin) is not recommended for use in combination with a taxane for patients whose breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
NICE claims evidence submitted by the drug manufacturer did not show bevacizumab to significantly improve or extend the lives of breast cancer patients whose tumours have spread elsewhere in the body. This uncertain clinical benefit, combined with the amount of money the NHS is being asked to pay for the drug, means NICE decided not to recommend bevacizumab (in combination with a taxane) as a first-line treatment for metastatic breast cancer.
However, this draft guidance has now been issued for consultation and NICE has not yet published final guidance to the NHS.
Uncertain evidence
The manufacturer submitted data to the Institute's Appraisal Committee from a clinical trial comparing bevacizumab plus paclitaxel with paclitaxel monotherapy. The study found that, on average, bevacizumab could slow the growth and spread of the tumour for five and a half months longer than paclitaxel alone. However, this did not translate into improved overall survival rates with the drug only extending patients' lives by around an extra seven weeks.
The manufacturer did not compare bevacizumab with docetaxel - a "gold standard" breast cancer treatment - despite research data being available. The Committee acknowledged the results of a clinical trial that assessed bevacizumab (used in combination with docetaxel) against doctetaxel alone. The data demonstrated that, while the research echoed the findings of the paclitaxel trial (that bevacizumab could slow the growth and spread of the cancer), the results were much less conclusive, raising questions over the true efficacy of bevacizumab.
Sir Andrew Dillon, NICE Chief Executive, said in a press release: "The clinical trial results for bevacizumab were disappointing in that they were unable to prove definitively that the drug could extend the lives of patients with metastatic breast cancer over and above currently available treatments.
"The Committee did hear evidence from a clinical expert and patient representative that the amount of time a drug can slow the growth and spread of the cancer is highly valued by patients but evidence of the length of time bevacizumab could keep the cancer under control was not robust. There was also no proof that the drug can give patients a better quality of life than paclitaxel or docetaxel."
The Appraisal Committee also discussed the cost effectiveness of the drug (the price the NHS is being asked to pay for the level of benefit the treatment offers patients). However, when bearing in mind the uncertainties over survival rates and quality of life data, the committee concluded that the cost of bevacizumab is too high for the limited and uncertain benefit it may offer patients. NICE says the manufacturer has acknowledged that its own calculations on cost-effectiveness were 'optimistic'.
Sir Andrew Dillon added: "It is important to remember that current breast cancer treatments like paclitaxel and docetaxel are very effective in helping to extend the lives of patients with metastatic breast cancer. For example, the study comparing bevacizumab plus paclitaxel with paclitaxel monotherapy highlighted that paclitaxel could prolong lives by just over two years, on average."

TRS vs Banana Magic
39 Attachment(s)
Hey guys. Question for the board. I have been searching like crazy trying to find a place that demos the Banana Magic, but no luck. So here is what I am looking for. At the end of the season, I'm going to try and pick up either a Magic or TRS when they drop the prices some.
I am looking for an all mountain board, that is still playful. Pretty big Lib Tech fan (own a Rice), and familiar with their products and tech, and for me, it just works. So I'm really not considering anything outside of Mervin at this time. Want a board that has a lot of play, but is still stable, damp, and capable of charging.
I know I can get a hold of a TRS to demo, but I'm just not going to find a Magic to demo. The reason I'm interested in the board however, is because I have read from a few reputable posters that this was one of the boards that they have had the most fun on.
So for anyone that has ridden both, can you compare and contrast. A third board I was thinking about was the GNU Altered Genetics, however it might be too stiff. Also open to trying an Attack Banana, but was afraid you sacrifice too much stability.
I'm riding the Attack Banana this year and I hear you about the stability concern. It's my first year with reverse camber and it's taking some time to get used to. I've put 3 days on it so far (PA sucks this year) and I'm getting used to it. I "feel" unstable at times, but whenever I apply some pressure to push into a turn or do something, the board has always been there / reacted. I'm finding that the stability issue is just a "feeling" and something I need to adapt to, not something that is really a problem. I just wanted to through my 2 cents in, I was going to go with a TRS but ended up with an Attack Banana. I'm still not 100% I made the right decision, but so far so good. Buyers remorse sucks :laugh:

It's supposed to be a great board. Yeah, I've ridden a ton of boards with reverse camber, so I know what you mean. I should clarify, when I meant stable, I meant I still want to bomb this board. So I'm looking for a board that doesn't chatter like crazy.
The Magic is stiffer than the TRS, but softer than the T.Rice. One thing you have to note about the Banana Magic is that it's a very nimble board. One of my buddies just bought one and the edge to edge response threw him off at first. He said it wasn't used to that much responsiveness. Needless to say, the Magic is a great board to lay down carves. It's a very light as well which is a plus because I find Lib's non-horsepower boards to be on the heavier side.
Keep in mind that the TRS has an extruded base. It's not slow by any means though. I like Lib's TnT bases.
Obviously, you know I ride MI. I didn't have any issues with stability on the Magic on even the steepest runs here through ice. However, the T.Rice is a much more damp board. The Magic still has a liveliness to it, but no chatter from what I rode. Mr. Polonia (rarely posts here) has been taking this board to several big mountains, Mammoth, Keystone, Breck... and hasn't complained about it one bit.
BTW, the Magic has a slight camber underfoot. The profile of this board is different from any of their other boards.
I honestly love the Banana Magic. I'd love to have one in my quiver someday (hurts the wallet lol) for all-mountain riding.
If you hit up youtube you'll find a video review by Board Insiders compairing the Skate, Attack, and Magic Bananas. They all prefer the Magic for its stability and stiffness, yet it's still completely capable of doing all the park style stuff they wanted. It was my understanding that it has rocker between the feet but camber from the feet out. I assume the magnetraction is same on all of them and so would provide a good grip one ice regardless. But what Leo said, Magic is definitely the lightest. Looks damn sexy too. The normal website pictures don't do it any remote form of justice.
I would say the magic is to close to the rice to make it worth buying, unless you want two fairly similar boards.
If you really like Mervin the gnu riders choice is pretty much a trs with a sintered base.
Or the attack banana would be a better choice as well as others have said

Riley, have you ridden both, or is that just a guess? The reason I ask, is that from people that have actually ridden the Magic, they all say it leans very well to being a playful, solid all mountain deck.
Leo, thanks for the feedback. That was what I was looking for. I have heard that the Magic is lightning edge to edge.
How would you compare it to your Proto? As nimble, more nimble? Can you still press it out and butter it?
More damp and stiffer than the Proto. I can press the Magic, but it's not its strong suit. Proto has more pop, Magic is more responsive.
I wouldn't choose one over the other. It'd be nice to have both in my quiver haha. I would use the Magic for more all-mountain riding with minimal jibbing. The Proto to me can handle a day in the park as well as outside. I wouldn't want to spend a day in the park with the Magic aside from jumps.

With more pronounced Rocker, isn't it much more surfy than a Rice?

Attention - Important information!The 2013 Annual Information Statement is the only reporting obligation that all registered charities have for the 2013 reporting period.
This guide will help people completing the 2013 Annual Information Statement for their charity. It explains each question in the Annual Information Statement. The preview is available to help you prepare prior to starting, and accompanies the guide. This preview cannot be submitted.
Some key terms, like 'responsible person', are also explained in the ACNC glossary. In this guide, when we refer to 'financial year', this has the same meaning as 'reporting period' on our website. For example, when the questions refer to 'the last financial year', this is your charity's 2013 reporting period.
The only annual reporting requirement that all registered charities must meet for the 2013 reporting period is to complete the mandatory questions (Sections A to C) in the 2013 Annual Information Statement. The statement only asks for basic non-financial information. However, if you wish, you can voluntarily submit your 2013 financial reports with your Annual Information Statement online and we will publish them on the ACNC Register.
Charities regulated by the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations (ORIC) do not need to submit an Annual Information Statement and financial report.
Read more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporations.
Information you submit in the 2013 Annual Information Statement will automatically appear on the public ACNC Register within 24 hours, unless you apply to withhold information from the Register through the Charity Portal.
Not all information can be withheld. You must supply a full copy of the information you wish to have withheld (for example, donor information or financial information (such as completed financial reports)) and be prepared to provide detailed reasons and any relevant supporting documents, or we will be unable to consider your request. Read more about withholding information.
Does your charity have a financial year ending 30 June?
Before you start the Annual Information Statement we need to know when your reporting period (financial year) end date is. Read more about reporting due dates.
We use your charity's ABN as a unique reference number for your charity. The ABN will be included on your activity statement (if your charity submits one to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)). You can also look up your ABN on the ABN Lookup website at ABR Business.
This is the formal legal name of your charity that appears on its legal or other official documents. It is not a trading name or an abbreviation.
Attention - Important information!Your governing documents (such as your charity's rules, constitution, trust deed, or Act of Parliament) or your certificate of incorporation are likely to include your charity's legal name.
Tell us any other names that your charity is publicly known by, apart from its legal (or formal) name. For example, your charity may have incorporated as 'Charity name Inc.' but it is known in the community and provides services as 'Careful Care'.
Please provide your charity's:
Both the email address and business address will appear on the ACNC Register so make sure you put down the details that you want the public to use to contact your charity. You may not want the name of an individual in a contact email for your charity, so give thought to which email address you use.
Note: Your charity's address for service under question 5 will also appear on the ACNC Register.
Please also tell us how you would like the ACNC to contact your charity. This includes the:
The usual reporting period under the ACNC Act is the financial year 1 July to 30 June. If your charity's financial year is different, answer 'No' to this question and enter the end date of your charity's financial year. The date format is DD/MM.
If you use a different financial year and have not let the ACNC know, you should apply to the ACNC to request a substituted accounting period before you submit your Annual Information Statement for the first time. Use Form 4A: Request a substituted accounting period to do this.
'Revenue' means your charity's annual gross revenue. For more information, refer to our Charity size and revenue factsheet.
The size of your charity affects:
Select each box that reflects your charity's charitable purposes. Charitable purposes are usually set out in the objects or purposes clause in your charity's governing documents.
Use the 'Other' text box to provide a brief description of purposes that are not provided for in the boxes. A single word or phrase is adequate.
When you complete this question, record all of your charity's charitable purposes. It is possible that only some of your charity's purposes have been recorded in the past.
If your charity's governing rules or purposes change during the year, don't forget to notify the ACNC about the change.
If your charity is registered with the ACNC for the 'advancement of religion', answer the following checklist of questions to work out if it is a basic religious charity. Examples of religious charities include religious congregations, religious education bodies and funds for establishing and maintaining religious buildings.
Read more about basic religious charities.
Read our religious charities factsheet.
If your charity can answer 'no' to all of the questions it is a basic religious charity.
If your charity can answer 'yes' to any of the questions, it is not a basic religious charity.
a) Could your charity be registered as any other subtype of charity?
For example, setting up a separate school as part of promoting religious principles in a religious community would likely be for the separate charitable purpose of 'advancing education' and would mean that a religious charity could also be registered as the subtype 'advancing education'.
b) Is your charity incorporated as a company or incorporated association?
If your charity is a charitable trust and has an incorporated trustee, it may still be a basic religious charity if the charitable trust itself is not incorporated.
c) Has the ACNC allowed your charity to report as part of a group?
The ACNC may allow two or more registered charities to report as a group in two ways:
d) Is your charity endorsed as a deductible gift recipient?
Charities that can receive income tax deductible gifts have 'deductible gift recipient status' and are called 'deductible gift recipients' (DGRs).
If your charity is endorsed as a DGR, it is not a basic religious charity. However, your charity can be endorsed to operate DGR funds, institutions or authorities as long as their total revenue is less than $250 000 for the particular reporting period.
Use the ABN Lookup website http://www.abr.business.gov.au or the ACNC website to confirm if your charity has deductable gift recipient status.
e) Has your charity received more than $100 000 in government grants this financial year, or in either of the past two financial years?
Under the ACNC Act, if a charity receives more than $100 000 in government grants in a financial year, it is not a basic religious charity.
The ACNC may allow:
If your charity has received approval to do this, select 'Yes'. The terms and conditions for completing your Annual Information Statement will have been provided to you at the time you received approval to report as a group.
Read about group reporting.
Activities include both financial activities and non-financial activities. If your charity has not conducted any activities in the last financial year you should select the 'No' box. Only some of the questions in this form will apply to you.
The purpose of this question is to identify inactive charities, including new charities that have not started operating yet. If you are not sure whether your charity has conducted any activities, select the 'Yes' box and go to question 12.
Please select one main activity and as many general activities as needed.
Use the 'Other' text box to briefly describe activities undertaken by your charity that are not listed in the boxes. A single word or phrase is adequate. Only use the 'Other' box if you are certain none of the listed activities apply to your charity.
Attention:You need to know! It may be useful to review your annual report or governing document to make sure you capture all of your charity's activities.
The activities listed are based on the International Classification of Non-profit-organisations, the recommended classification in the United Nations Handbook on Non-Profit Institutions in the Systems of National Accounts.
Attention - Important information!If your charity's activities included activities overseas, you need to list all of the countries where the activities happened in question 17.
Explain how your charity's activities helped achieve its purposes. This is a chance to tell your story about how your charity achieved its mission, which will be available on the ACNC Register.
Include information that may help your stakeholders (such as donors, volunteers and the people your charity helps) to understand how resources were allocated.
If yes, explain the types of key activities your charity intends to change or introduce during the next financial year that are different to the last.
Include information that may assist your stakeholders (such as donors, volunteers and the people your charity helps) to understand how you intend to allocate future resources.
If you are expecting to pursue your purpose(s) in the same way as the previous year, then select the 'No' box and proceed to question 15.
Select a box for each group of people helped by your charity (beneficiaries) during the last financial year. Your beneficiaries may be quite specific, or could be very broad, and include all groups that benefit from your charity's activities.
Use the 'Other' text box to describe additional groups who were helped by your charity that are not reflected in the boxes. A single word or phrase is adequate.
It may be useful to review your annual report or governing documents to make sure you capture all of your beneficiaries.
Attention - Important information!If your charity helped groups of people overseas, you need to list all of the countries where the groups of people live in question 17.
If exact figures are not available, please provide your best estimate.
Tell us the number of full-time employees, part-time employees and volunteers who worked for your charity during the last pay period of your last financial year.
Your answer does not have to be exact – use your best estimate in your answer to this question.
Full-time refers to people working more than 35 hours per week. Self-employed people such as consultants and contractors who are not employees of your charity are excluded. Employees working outside Australia for more than 12 months are also excluded.
A volunteer is someone who willingly gives unpaid help, in the form of time, service or skills, to your charity. It includes people receiving honoraria or reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, volunteers who sit on boards of management and volunteers who are members of fundraising committees.
You might have this information in your annual report or organisational chart.
PAYG forms may be a useful source of information about employee numbers.
Select all of the Australian states and territories that your charity conducted charitable activities in during the last financial year.
If your charity conducted charitable activities in external territories, select the state or territory most closely associated. For example, if your charity operated in the Indian Ocean Territories, select Western Australia.
If your charity operated overseas (for example, conducted international activities or helped communities overseas), list each of the countries. This includes countries where you have made grants or donations, or sent people to help overseas communities or other beneficiaries.
If you indicated that you helped communities overseas in question 15, or if you helped any other overseas beneficiaries, then you must list the countries here.
If you believe that disclosing a country where you are undertaking charitable activities could endanger public safety, you can apply to withhold this information.
Only submit your charity's Annual Information Statement after we confirm that you can do this.
Attention - Important information!Questions in this section are optional. Information you provide will help us identify ways to reduce unnecessary regulatory obligations.
This is an optional question where you can tell us about other reporting requirements your charity has to Commonwealth departments or agencies. Tell us the name of the Commonwealth department or agency you reported to and the relevant government program (if applicable). For example: AusAID, Overseas Aid Gift Deductibility Scheme.
You do not need to include obligations to report to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
The ACNC will use this information to identify ways to reduce duplicative and unnecessary regulatory obligations in the future. We will also be able to share your details with authorised government agencies so that you don't need to provide the Annual Information Statement information multiple times – this is part of the Charity Passport the ACNC is developing.
Consider any one-off or recurring grants you received and had to report on during the last financial year. If you report to another Commonwealth department or agency, the ACNC may be able to treat a statement, report or other document given to that agency as being an ACNC information statement or report. More information is available on our website.
For example, reporting in respect of fundraising or grant acquittals.
This is an optional question. It will tell us about reporting obligations your charity has to state or territory departments or agencies, apart from the reporting obligations you have to your incorporating state or territory regulators. This usually includes reporting your charity must submit in order to conduct fundraising or gaming activities, or to receive government grants.
The ACNC will use this information to identify ways to reduce duplicative and unnecessary regulatory obligations in the future.
Jurisdiction / Legislation
This is an optional question. It will tell us about the time spent on reporting obligations your charity has to all government regulators, departments and agencies. Include time spent reporting to your Commonwealth, state and territory regulators responsible for incorporated associations, as well as time spent in any other reporting to government (such as writing government grant acquittals, government fundraising reporting, etc). Do not include time taken to meet reporting obligations to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
It will assist the ACNC if you choose to answer this question. Please provide your best estimate. We will use this information to identify ways to reduce duplicative and unnecessary regulatory obligations in the future.
Before you sign the Annual Information Statement, check that you have completed the mandatory questions 1–17 (Sections A to C) or we will not be able to accept your form.

We will use this information collected at Section E: Declaration to process your Annual Information Statement (AIS). If you do not provide us with this information, we cannot process this form. This information will be kept confidential and will not be published on the ACNC Register.
All of the other sections of the AIS (unless withheld) will be published on the ACNC Register as required by section 40-5 of the ACNC Act.

By Justin HenryCold Hard Football Facts' Dr. Death (@jrhwriting)
Protected leaders have comfort knowingTheir safeguards keep action flowing
Producing claps of victorious thunderBut the line prone to collapseWithers their man on every snapAs threads of glory drift asunder
Without sheath or shield, the dexterous man with the sharpest weapon remains vulnerable.
Even jousters, no matter how proficient they are with a lance, or how skilled a horseman they may be, still wear armor and carry a shield. Their surest of lunges could still be beaten to the punch.
After all, it takes just a miscommunication, missed block, or simple case of an average lineman being overmatched by a world class defender, for an offense to sputter to a halt in panoramic darkness.
Offensive linemen don't get to spike footballs, high step into the end zone, or make horrifically bad commercials for State Farm Insurance, but there they are: the five-pronged glaive that wards off the enemy, and cuts into their attack, all for the benefit of the offense's 'skill players'.
In theory, anyway.
You will see otherwise elite quarterbacks perish early. Teams that acquired so-called brilliant playmakers in the draft, raising the optimism levels of their acolytic onlookers, won't deliver at those dreamscraped projections, thanks to cracks in the foundation.
Fans that purchased factory-fresh replica jerseys and predicted a worst-to-first revival during the sunny summer will wince at the repeating rut. As temperatures drop, the laments rise.
"Why can't we win" is the mournful echo, excommunicating your team attire deep into the recesses of the befouled's closets.
More often than not, my coroner's report confirms the departed was merely too thin-skinned to stand up in battle. Yes, you can throw a punch, but as overpaid skeleton James Carville once offered, "It's hard for somebody to hit you when you've got your fist in their face."
Here at the Cold Hard Crematorium, we use a metric to outline the efficiency of an offensive line's output. The Offensive Hog Index, or OHI, is a measurement of three categories that the lines have a hand in aiding.
RUSHING YARDS PER ATTEMPT: very simple, the amount of yards gained on the average rushing attempt. Even our friend Brian Billick couldn't turn this explanation into War and Peace. Certainly, the line of five has a hand (ten of them) in maximizing ground gains.
NEGATIVE PASS PLAY PERCENTAGE: on passing attempts, the percent of said plays that end with a sack or interception. The quarterback gets rushed, and so he may be fangoriously felled by the pursuit, or surrender a costly pick. Some mistakes are on the quarterback, but it's up to the line to provide him the burdenless bubble he needs.
THIRD DOWN PERCENTAGE: how often the team converts on the 'money down'. When it's third down, the defense smells blood. The line has a vital role: leave those appetites unquenched.
Together, these pieces interlock. Brought to a simmer, they reveal an offense's true state.
A gander at the OHI board provides some expected perspective. Cellar-dwelling in the bottom four are a quartet of condemned clods. Combined, their record is 1-11, and that one win comes from beating a winless team with zero defensive drive.
Let's examine these seemingly doomed dirt-gaggers, shall we?
CLEVELAND BROWNS (29th on OHI)Rushing YPA: 4.30 (11th)Negative Pass Play %: 12.58 (26th)3rd Down %: 25.00 (32nd)OHI Rating (Avg Ranking): 23.00
The Browns have endured 14 sacks in just three games, with Brandon Weeden getting planted 11 times in two starts. Brian Hoyer fared a little better, eating the turf three times in his surprise victory.
Trent Richardson averaged only 3.39 YPA before being couriered to Indianapolis. Running the ball isn't high on the Browns' priorities either way; with 50 runs (31 from Richardson), only one team has run the ball less (and we'll get to them).
The Browns runners have been tackled behind the line on nearly a quarter of their attempts (22 percent, per FootballOutsiders). Even then, it's their pass blocking that drains the battery. Still being so early in the season, it remains to be seen just how much of that is on a remarkably unpolished Weeden.
PITTSBURGH STEELERS (30th on OHI)Rushing YPA: 2.98 (28th)Negative Pass Play %: 11.57 (24th)3rd Down %: 27.78 (31st)OHI Rating (Avg Ranking): 27.67
The loss of Maurkice Pouncey on opening day took an already embattled offensive line and expelled their strongest link. Smart defenses like Cincinnati and Chicago were able to force hasty throws with deceiving zone coverage, while Tennessee simply opted to pulverize Ben Roethlisberger to the tune of five sacks.
Le'Veon Bell's preseason foot injury has robbed the Steelers so far of their most promising back. With the decidedly-Steel City-ish runner (230 lbs) nursing his wheel, afterthoughts like Jonathan Dwyer (3.15 YPA) and Isaac Redman (1.20 YPA) have conjured up images of the horrors of 2012.
Runs through the middle (where Pouncey has been supplanted by Fernando Velasco) average 2.40 YPA, lowest in the NFL. With no flow to this one-dimensional offense, it's no wonder defenses with a brain can pounce with ease.
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (31st on OHI)Rushing YPA: 2.36 (32nd)Negative Pass Play %: 14.39 (31st)3rd Down %: 32.00 (26th)OHI Rating (Avg Ranking): 29.67
A team averages 9.3 points per game, and isn't dead last? A little extra salt for the rock bottom resident, surely.
Blaine Gabbert being sacked six times in the opening game, and throwing a chortle-worthy pick-six to Tamba Hali, did a number on, well, these numbers. Chad Henne's inability to play better than any NFL quarterback besides Gabbert (and maybe Christian Ponder) isn't helping much either. They, combined with Denard Robinson, have taken a league-leading 15 sacks.
Can't blame all of this on the quarterbacks; formerly heralded running back Maurice Jones-Drew is averaging 2.61 yards per each of his 44 rushing attempts. He's also the only running back to have more than 20 yards. The Jaguars simply can't run anywhere but Luke Joeckel's right side of the line, and that kills any semblance of spontaniety.
NEW YORK GIANTS (32nd on OHI)Rushing YPA: 2.71 (30th)Negative Pass Play %: 15.50 (32nd)3rd Down %: 29.41 (29th)OHI Rating (Avg Ranking): 30.33
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. An 0-3 record with Eli Manning surrendering eight INTs (a ninth from understudy Curtis Painter), as well as a tidal wave of 11 sacks, have us straining to remember the days of Tom Coughlin's disciplined, confident offense.
The Giants have only run the ball 49 times, in part thanks to David Wilson's butterfingers, and Andre Brown's potentially season-ending injury. The only lineman playing with any continuity in the run is William Beatty at left tackle. Rookie right tackle Justin Pugh lacks the power and drive to be as effective, and it shows.
Without a competent run to begin games, the Giants are finding themselves playing catchup, making up for undisciplined turnovers, and forcing themselves to take risks with little windfall. As a result, Manning's playing the worst football of his life.

Q. What exactly happens during breast reconstruction surgery?
A. There are two methods a surgeon may use to build an implant. First, he or she may simply place the implant behind the chest muscle (or, less commonly, in front of the chest muscle) after having removed your breast tissue, and close up the skin. This works best for small-breasted women; or for women who are having a bilateral mastectomy, and are happy with small breasts post-implant. Second, the surgeon may remove your breast tissue, then place an expander–a hollow sack–behind (or in front of) your chest muscle, and close up the skin.
This expander is equipped with a valve, through which saline can be pumped. Over the course of several months, more and more saline is pumped into the sack, gradually stretching your skin. When the skin has been stretched enough to accept the size implant you want–generally, the size that comes closest to matching your other breast–the sack is removed, and the permanent implant put in its place.
This method works well for larger-breasted women. Its disadvantage lies in the fact that it can be a fairly uncomfortable process, and it involves additional surgery (to replace the expander with the implant). So, are you a candidate for an expander, or would you do fine with just a one-step implant? Don't worry, your surgeon will take a good, hard look at your body and make a recommendation. (Be aware that some surgeons believe ALL women want larger breasts, and automatically suggest going the expander route. If you're fine with small breasts, insist on foregoing the expander, no matter what the surgeon says!)

And so, inevitably, to Gordon Ramsay's clan, as the chef's hideously vulgar blood feud continues to develop apace. Last week, you'll recall, Gordon's father-in-law and erstwhile business partner Chris Hutcheson went public to protest against his sacking by Gordon, and offer the pained observation that his daughter's husband had become a "monster" perverted by celebrity.
Having initially affected a dignified silence, Gordon changed his strategy on Tuesday. And which of us can argue that sending a mad open letter to his mother-in-law, Greta, via the pages of the London Evening Standard, was the best way to handle things?
There was much to wince at in this semi-literate missive, not least the chef's sledgehammer references to "the very complex life that Chris leads", exemplified by Gordon's sweet message to Greta Hutcheson that her husband's awaydays "were rarely what I thought they were".
Aren't they just the most divine family? As for where we go from here, it doesn't look pretty. Last week, Lost in Showbiz confessed that "something in my waters suggests Chris is dicing with danger with this outburst" – and so it has proved. This week I must give voice to a feeling in those same waters that poor, unwitting Greta is the one toward whom a freight train is hurtling in slow motion.
As for the two horrors to whom she and her daughter are espoused, I can't say I'd be looking forward to the Sunday papers if I were Chris – or indeed if I were Gordon, given that Chris last week rolled out a tasteful Ian Brady analogy, declaring threateningly: "I do know where Gordon's bodies are buried. Take me up on the Moors and I could show you where."
It is all beginning to have the flavour of one of those movie shoot-outs where everyone ends up dead. As mere spectators, alas, we can only sit back and wait for the Bejam Borgias to serve up another instalment of family fun.

Home > News & Events > News > Press Releases > Boston Globe Wins Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting
CAMBRIDGE, MA - The $25,000 Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting has been awarded to The Boston Globe by the Kennedy School's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy for their award-winning investigative report "Crisis in the Catholic Church." Globe reporters chronicled a burgeoning scandal that has seen dozens of priests stand accused of abuse. It is a scandal that has spread beyond the Boston Archdiocese to other states and countries. The series ultimately led to the resignation of Cardinal Law, once the nation's most influential Catholic prelate.
Members of the Globe team include Matthew Carroll, Kevin Cullen, Thomas Farragher, Stephen Kurkjian, Michael Paulson, Sacha Pfeiffer, Michael Rezendes and Walter V. Robinson.
Launched in 1991, the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting honors journalism which promotes more effective and ethical conduct of government, the making of public policy, or the practice of politics by disclosing excessive secrecy, impropriety and mismanagement, or instances of particularly commendable government performance.
The five finalists for the Prize for Investigative Reporting were:
· Mike Wagner, Ben Sutherly, Laura Bischoff, Ken McCall, Dale Dempsey and Martha Hild of The Dayton Daily News, for "Down on the Factory: Cheap Food, Hidden Costs";
· Steve Inskeep, of National Public Radio, for "Oruzgan Raid";
· David Cay Johnston, of The New York Times, for "Tax Cheats";
· Brett Shipp and Mark Smith, of WFAA-TV, Dallas for "Fake Drugs, Real Lives";
· Phil Brinkman, Dee J. Hall and Scott Milfred, of The Wisconsin State Journal, for "Corruption in the Wisconsin State Capitol."
Each of the finalist entries received a $2,000 prize.
A special citation was also awarded to Seth Rosenfeld of The San Francisco Chronicle for "The Campus Files: Reagan, Hoover and the UC Red Scare." In a seventeen-year pursuit of truth, Seth Rosenfeld fought a marathon legal battle to win the right to tell the embarrassing and frightening story of how the Federal Bureau of Investigation had misused its power. While the story he sought to tell took place in 1967, its relevance is clear. The perseverance and courage of Mr. Rosenfeld and The San Francisco Chronicle are an inspiration to those who cherish a free press.
In addition, Goldsmith Book Prizes were awarded to Doris A. Graber for "Processing Politics: Learning from Television in the Internet Age" and to Leonard Downie Jr. and Robert G. Kaiser for "The News About the News: American Journalism in Peril." The Goldsmith Book Prize is awarded to the best academic and best trade books that seek to improve the quality of government or politics through an examination of press and politics in the formation of public policy.
The Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism was given to Seymour Hersh, the legendary investigative reporter.
The annual Goldsmith Awards Program receives financial support from the Goldsmith-Greenfield Foundation.
The Shorenstein Center was established in 1986 to promote greater understanding of the media by public officials, to improve coverage by media professionals of government and politics, to better anticipate the consequences of public policies that affect the media and the First Amendment, and to increase knowledge about how the media affect our political processes and government institutions.

I confess to being bewildered at news of severe cuts in Food Stamps imposed by Republican leaders in Congress. I gather from their beliefs the use of Food Stamps is preventing people capable of working in a job from doing their jobs. There are an estimated 47 million Americans who secure some financial assistance from the government in order to make it through the year. For some strange reason, the 22 million children and the 9 million senior citizens are just too lazy to go out and get a job. Instead of working, they depend upon food pantries or soup kitchens to eat when all they have to do is:
1. Work their way through garbage bins for some healthy food.
2. Focus on ending obesity by reducing food intake.
3. Drink more water, it is healthy and reduces hunger pangs.
4. Pray harder to God.
5. Do some begging, it is good for the soul.
And, always remember that our beloved Tea Party wants you to believe in Jesus. After all, he came for the wealthy!

The Kawazu area is situated approximately 2 hours 40 minutes from Tokyo by train. The Izu Peninsula in which Kawazu is located is one of the more famous resort areas of Japan, which many people visit from all over Japan. Kawazu is famous among outlying areas of Tokyo as the place for early-blooming "sakura" (cherry blossoms).
(Flowering Period: From late February to early March, whereas in Tokyo, sakura appears from late March or early April.)
During the sakura season in Kawazu the "Cherry Blossom Festival" is held, and this popular event attracts around a million people. If you are visiting Tokyo during this time, please pay a visit to Kawazu, both to see the delightful sakura (known here as "Kawazu-zakura"), and also to enjoy the inherent beauty of the Kawazu area itself. The sakura are just one of this area's charms. There are also seven famous hot-spring baths, well-known for being the setting of the novel "Izu no Odoriko" (The Izu Dancer), for which author Kawabata Yasunari was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. This area is also a popular hiking spot for visitors.
Throughout the suburbs of Tokyo, the sakura of Kawazu are famous for being some of the earliest to bloom. The 8,000 sakura trees in Kawazu area make for some spectacular sights.
In particular, the 800 trees that bloom alongside the river – conjuring a visual collaboration between the blues of the river and the pinks of the sakura - are a delightful encapsulation of Japan's natural scenic beauty.
» More info
"Kawazu Nanadaru", situated between the mountains, approximately a 30-minute bus ride from Kawazu train station, is a 60-minute hiking course that enables you to view seven distinctive waterfalls.
» More info
Experience the world of the novel "Izu no Odoriko" (The Izu Dancer) written by Nobel Prize-winning author Yasunari Kawabata, when you visit the story locations "Yugano Onsen" and "Toge Tunnel."
One of the Kawazu area's big attractions is the opportunity to choose from it's seven individual onsen villages, and to experience their blue-sea views and unique characteristics. What's more, they provide a rare quality among Japanese tourist spots; you can choose from both sea-view and mountain-view onsens.
» More info
The Kawazu area can also be the central point for your travels around the Izu Peninsula. From here it takes approximately one hour to Shuzenji Temple, which is famous among locals and foreign visitors alike. The port town of Shimoda, which is famous for being the place where the American Admiral Perry first visited 150 years ago, can be reached by taking a 10-minute train ride.
From here you can also visit Nijima, Shikinejima and Kozujima islands by ferry. (Please contact the office for details, as these ferries don't operate on a daily basis.)

SBC tunnel ram w/2x450 holleys problems
Engine: Built SBC350 with hyd roller, Mallory comp9000 dist, accel plugs, accel race wires(all new).
Trans: T1-0 4 speed
Rear: 373 posi
OLD INTAKE / CARB: Victor Jr(1 inch taller model) Holley 750 3310-c VAC secondaries.
New Intake(actually old): Weiand Tunnel Ram
New Carbs(actually old): Holley 450cfm mech secondaries(list 9776): rebuilt with Holley parts(not my first carb rebuild) everything was triple checked.
Running 285 Jets(main), 65 Power valve, 31 squirter, 30cc pump and pink pump cam in position 1.
Engine pulls 11-12 vacuum with tunnel ram setup(beleive it or not it surprised even me).
Idle speed @950
Set all floats to just dripping out
Fuel pressure 4-5 psi, any higher was overwhelming needle and seats.
Idle mixture was set using vac gauge, about 1 1/4 turns out is max(@12)
Acc pump set to open with any throlle movement, good fuel coming out squirters
Timing same as old 18 inital with @35 total
Old combo ran like a champ, no bogs or anything
Problem: Anything other than part throttle and it bogs/stumles/backfires through carbs.
I have tried to up the squirters to 37 not much change
I tired putting them down all the way to 25, ran worse(28's were so so)
So I put 31's back in, and tried different pump cams, not much change.
I have tried to fatten the mixture to 2 turns out, no change.
I have disconnected the back carb and had worse results.
Any suggestions???
Sounds like you've got it spot on.
Did you change anything in the valvetrain?
Have you tried running an "excessive" amount of timing to see how it responds?
Didn't change anything in the valve train. Timing is next on the to try list(got too dark today), the only thing I haven't done is to pull the plugs and check em for fouling.
Yes , fresh set of plugs and set the timing @ or around 3000 RPM to 28-34 * And you might try lowering the power valves to 3.5s
Well 3 of the plugs were fouled, probably from when I was adjusting the floats and all the tuning attempts.
I cleaned all 8 plugs and reinstalled. One wouldn't fire no matter what, 2 others were intermitent.
Sooo I changed 3 plugs with old plugs.
Reset carbs to 31 squirters and it ran well. Upped the timing to 22 initial and ran a little better. Installed 37 squirters and ran even better.
No more backfiring....oh wait...I was messing with pump cam and backfire came back. One cylinder is intermitent again. The plugs are carbon fouling. I have the Plug Gap reduced to .045 from the old plugs that were .060. I am thinking there is less spark and more carb thus the fouling. I am going to try and clean and gap all at .060 and try again.
Idle mixture screws were set at 1 turn also.
As a side note I would never run just one carb of a dual setup. I think it nuked one plug and it runs horrible if I try it now. I found the recommendation of tuning only one at a time on some web sites.
Update: Cleaned and gapped plugs to .060 this is keeping the plugs from fouling now.
Since I have @11 vacuum I changed Power Valve to 8.5 from 6.5 that was recommended, this made a huge difference, upped the squirters to 37's and changed the cam to second hole. Has absolute ton of power now about 2500 rpm. Still just a little bog then takes off from idle.
Question, do you think a 9.5(available only in standard flow, 10.5 seems too high) power valve would help or should I try .040 or larger squirters.
sounds like your running it down
i have been doing some reading before i get to my tunnel ram project 355 with a cam that barely lets the intake valve close lol not really i dont have specs yet but i believe its a little over .500 lift one of the issues i have seen most in my research anyways is that you need to tune your engine for more air flow maybe a new cam would be my recommendation if you havent already got one for the tunnel ram intake but make sure you let us know how you ended up like i said i still have one to tune when i get home and even worse i have a built 355 aftermarket heads headers and dual 770cfm carbs so hopefully you can help me in the right direction good luck bro
oh yeah heres my setup any pointers?
When you replaced the PV and the problem was gone. That PV could have been ruptured from the backfire causing to dump a lot fuel into the motor. Stay with the 6.5

African Journals OnLine
International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications
INASP is a cooperative network of partners that was established in 1992. Its mission is to enhance the flow of scientific and scholarly information within and between countries, especially those with less developed systems of publication and dissemination. 'INASP Health Links' is seen to be a short-term contribution to help address the increasing demand in developing and transitional countries for easy access to relevant, reliable health information on the Internet.

African Journals OnLine (AJOL): A Gateway to African Published Research
The African information and research community is set to receive a major boost as the National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC) South Africa takes over management of African Journals OnLine (AJOL).
Medical editors pledge support for African journals
A group of African medical editors has set up a forum to support and strengthen medical journals in Africa. The forum, known as FAME [Forum for African Medical Editors], will be chaired by Dr James Tumwine of Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda, who is editor of the journal African Health Sciences. FAME was set up last week at a meeting in Geneva convened by the World Health Organization to discuss how information published in African journals can be disseminated more widely. Currently, most of the medical literature published in Africa is not widely visible. Difficulties in journal production, coupled with huge distribution problems, mean that dissemination within individual countries is poor and across the continent as a whole is even worse. In addition, the African Index Medicus, an online resource for African health research, has all but collapsed. Globally, access to African journals is limited by the fact that few are indexed in Medline, although access is possible to some via African Journals On Line
and on CD Roms via ExtraMED.
A recent questionnaire study of 109 African journals by Edith Certain, of the WHO 92s research and training in tropical disease programme, found that 29 of the 66 journals that responded have a website.
A key aim of the new forum will be to link up editors across Africa and define their needs for support and training in all aspects of medical publishing.
Several international organisations are poised to offer help. Pledges of support for the forum were made at the meeting by the WHO, the World Association of Medical Editors, the Council of Science Editors, the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications, the Fogarty International Centre, Latin-American medical journals online, BiomedCentral, JAMA, and the BMJ.
Further information is available by emailing Edith Certain , information officer at the WHO's special programme for research and training in tropical diseases.(Source: Tessa Richards, BMJ 2002;325:922, 26 October 2002)

You are forgetting to tape the part where you didn't do anything wrong to get pulled over, you big dummy. Taping the cop at your window does what?
You are forgetting to tape the part where you didn't do anything wrong to get pulled over, you big dummy. Taping the cop at your window does what?
...want to know how I know OP is Caucasian?
here are some tips:
1. Just be polite. Asking questions, if done so in a manner that does not imply that you think I'm an idiot or that you could not have possibly done something wrong and I am happy to converse with you.
2. Ask, BEFORE I go back to my car, for a warning. When people ask, unless they were way over the limit or doing something very careless, I will check their license and let them go. Even if they were 20mph over, I will always issue the cite for 75 in a 65 instead of 95 in a 65 or something like that.
3. If you still insist on filming, when you tell the cop that you are filming, say something like this, "Officer, I just want you to know that I am filming this stop. I have had some really bad experiences in the past that have cost me a lot of time and money and I just want to protect myself." Respectful and polite, no problems. Cops know that there are some cops that are asshats and understand that there are some people that have had less than nice interactions with the police.
Last thing. If you come off like your post you are starting a war you can't win. I have all the legal right in the world to initiate a "safety inspection" of your vehicle and here in Nevada, I am allowed to take up to 60 minutes to complete my stop. The more attitude you give, the more you get.
Now go get your shinebox
Here's what I do:
1. Pull over
2. Roll down windows
3. Turn off radio
4. Stick arm out the window with license, insurance and registration
5. Accept ticket
Did that the last time I got pulled over and didn't get a ticket. I think the cop was happy I made life easier for him. No worries about me trying to pull some crap.
I'm filming this thread. Just thought I'd let everyone know. I've had some bad experiences with threads in the past.
We have searched every square inch of this base and all we have found is porno, porno, PORNO!
Even if it is absolutely legal by law, you still run the risk of the cop sticking his gun in your face and taking you down to the pavement.
Antagonizing a cop the second he/she gets to your window sounds like a smart plan.

WTF would be the reasoning that you aren't allowed to record a police officer? don't the donut eaters always say "if your doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about"? I'm glad it works both ways
Videotaping a cop is great way to MAKE sure you get a ticket.
Pull WAY far over and dont be an idiot and stop where you are going to hold a bunch of people up - then roll down all windows and turn your car off. Put your keys on your dash, put your four-ways on, and dont do another damn thing. Dont get your license or anything until the officer is at your window - and tell him what you are doing. If there is any chance you will not get a ticket - it is by doing these things.
Trust me.
i tend to think that LEO's have a difficult enough job and no matter what my rights are, it's best to be as polite, cooperative and non-abrasive as possible during any encounter with police (whether i've done something wrong or not).
Those who are recording, is this audio only with the phone on the dash or something? Or are people actually recording video? If so how do you frame up a shot without hassles from the police?
Or you can request the supervising officer to come out, ask the police vehicle that was used to pull you over completely sealed as evidence, ask for a tow truck to take it to a secure facility, and inform the officers it will be unsealed at court. Then state you are preserving evidence and state the ease of video manipulation requires constant 24hr care is needed of the whole vehicle.

The reasoning I imagine is the same as when police ask crowds to dispense around crime scenes. Crowds get restless, unruly, and disruptive. Not just to the police but to the rest of the general public. When you have a crowd you have bad seeds and now you need even more police to control the crowd. Also, like rubberneckers who cause traffic jams, a mob in the middle of an urban street will block the flow of vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
We all talk with knives.
NOW Rabbit, you STFU, GTFO and go back to twitter where your "@" sign actually means something and practice some reading comprension so you can get your GED

It depends on factors such as whether the subject matter has been encompassed by federal law, whether it's traditionally a state concern, whether it has to do with policing a matter unique to the local area, etc.
As far as drugs go, the federal government has basically declared that drugs are a "federal concern." States are free to pass laws that conflict with federal law and, while they may ultimately lose, until the federal government challenges them they are in effect.
We all talk with knives.
Im not even gonna give ya the courtesy of reading the thread...let us know how that works out for ya tho...
somehow some of these responses prior don't seem to have a lot "etiquette" in them... to a LEO or anyone else, for that matter.
I always feel that the best response is simply "yes sir" and "no sir"
and just relax already
These officers are never knowing when some nutjob is going to whip out a gun and start shooting.
For no particular reason. Lately, we've had a host of women (and men) who were pulled over and then as the police approached, they opened fire unexpectedly.
It's a crazy world out there.

I really wish that they wouldn't do 3 continent races for an All Stars race or any race full stop. I'd expect at least 5 continents for a race like this.

--- End quote ---
Thank you :)
Mark & Bopper are in the Starting Line. I wonder what twist it is so Bopper dropped out.
Just watched the new "Dramatic Twist" promo, and I think I have a fair idea how CBS will play this out -
From the promo, along with the new photo's on the CBS website of the teams, it's clear Boppers at the Starting Line.
What probably happened was Phil and Bopper (and most likely Mark) were at the hospital (which is seen in the promo) probably a few days or even the day before the scheduled start of the race, and was told the bad news. Bopper went to the start line, knowing he wouldn't be racing and that's where Phil reveals it to everyone else that Bopper is unable to compete?
This would make sense, as it helps explain how they were able to get Mallory as a replacement - She will probably show up at the Start Line and surprise the others. (I'd assume Mark already know's he's racing with Mallory)
I'm just VERY surprised that Mark wanted to go ahead and race without Bopper? ???
My only other concern is this medical condition? I hope it's only temporary, and won't hinder him from being able to compete in the race if asked to return in the future? Coz if any team deserve a third run, it's Bopper & Mark, and I don't even consider this a second time for them, so technically they've still only raced once! :(
Oh well, that's my analysis anyway. :lol:
We should have just had Mallory & Brooke tbh :/
Mallory auditioned with Brooke and was seen at casting apparently.

Yes you, can make a banner without a fancy Cricut or Silhouette machine!
Come along and I'll show you how. :)
Here are the supplies you'll need:
Jumbo letter pad, scrap book paper (patterned and white), scissors, pencil, glue and ribbon or twine.
First I cut a triangle template and used it to cut the bottom off of all my scrapbook paper.
The template helps so all your cuts are the same.
The jumbo letters are like post it notes. They are sticky at the top so they are easy to reposition.
I found mine in the office/school supply section of the grocery store, near the pens, and poster boards.
Stick your letter on white paper and trace it.
I decided I wanted my letters to have little points, so I made a triangle template and added them on.
Here's one letter ready to be cut out.
The next step is painting the edges, but I'll talk about that in a minute.
I didn't feel like searching for my exacto knife to cut out the letters.
To make cutting the center of the O easier I split it down the middle.
After I glued the letters on my scrapbook paper I thought they looked a little blah and decided to paint the edges.
Obviously it would be much easier to paint them before you glue them on!
I took a small paint brush, dipped in in paint on a paper plate, then dabbed most of the painted off.
I then pounced the brush around the edges of the letters.
Make sure you don't cut off the white part at the top of your page!
Fold it back, put glue on both sides and slip your ribbon, twine, or string inside and press to shut.
If your paper doesn't have white at the top, make a template so all your folds are the same size.
I used white raffia for a ribbon and I taped it to my fireplace mantel and then positioned my letter pages to arrange them the way I wanted.
Make your ribbon extra long because you can always cut it down, but you can't make it longer!
I wanted to show you close ups of some of the pretty details on the scrapbook paper I used.
They don't show up real well in the larger photos, but look lovely in person.
Ta da! All done.
Now that wasn't difficult, was it?
I whipped this puppy out in no time at all. :)
I just used scotch tape to attach my raffia to the mantel and covered it up with pine branch garland.
Let me know if you make one!

Hello. I have been a web developer since 1997. I freelance for individuals clients, small businesses and agencies.
PHP specialist:
My current work is mostly WordPress, Laravel and Drupal (I'm an Acquia Certified Drupal 8 Site Builder). I'm also familiar with FuelPHP, PyroCMS, Codeigniter etc. I develop customised WordPress plugins and shortcodes that also support WP-CLI. I've been using PHP 7 since 2016.
Linux servers:
installation, tuning and security. Debian and Ubuntu specialist.
Front-end work:
HTML5, CSS, jQuery, responsive design.
Other key skills:
LAMP/LEMP (Nginx), Linode, AWS, TLS/SSL, Git, Composer, Ansible, DNS, IPv6, e-commerce, audio, bulk email.
Recent clients:
WordPress sites for Greenpeace Energydesk and Mark Pack – working with Code For The People (who became Automattic). Launching Ampp3d and UsVsTh3m with Emblem Digital / Trinity Mirror. Ongoing Laravel, PyroCMS and advanced WordPress projects for Ascender Design. Rebuilt and optimised martinbelam.com. Live audio streaming for Lord's Cricket Ground for a decade (having worked at CricInfo many years ago).
Other work:
Websites for Hils Barker, ACMS, Nadia Kamil, PHDi and Pr1ntingbynet. Charities: Kent and Canterbury League of Friends. Twitter projects: @andiebarometer and @faultybigben.
I manage Linux web servers for a number of clients, handling performance optimisation and security updates.
I care about:
web standards, responsive design, making pages load quickly, documenting and refactoring all types of code to reduce it's complexity, making websites that are simple to use and continuing to learn new things.
Written by me:
How an IDE can help you (March 2015, 2,000 words) – How we built Ampp3d (June 2014. 17,500 words) - Blog
My equivalent daily rate is £400. That's a maximum were I to work a full eight-hour day, but with interruptions etc. it's very rare to manage anything like that amount of productive time, so I record the actual time worked and calculate accordingly. Plus it depends on the nature of the work and the client. Typically I'll divide the work into stages or features, provide an estimate or quote for each and invoice as each is completed. Payment terms 7 days unless by arrangement. You're most welcome to ask about smaller jobs.
I always arrange the web hosting for things I make – hosting is complex and having a high quality server and full control of it significantly speeds up development (and supports best practices such as version control). It means I can precisely tune the performance of the site and add proper security, backups and automated monitoring, all of which I can implement more quickly working from a proven setup. I am also a single point of contact for faults so you do not need to deal with third-parties.
For all projects, I will make any source code I have written available on request so you can provide it to another developer if required.
Please get in touch if you need a quote or just some advice – I'll reply as soon as I can.

Microsoft DevRadio: Code vs. Drag & Drop for GameMaker: Studio from YoYo Games
Download this episode
Michael Palermo welcomes Russell Kay, CTO at YoYo Games to the show as they discuss the two major ways to develop games using GamerMaker --- Coding vs. Drag and Drop (DnD). Tune in as they shed a little light on both techniques as well dispelling some misconceptions about DnD and mixing and matching while developing.
- [1:39] GameMaker provides two major ways to develop games – code and/or DnD. Which do you see used more?
- [4:10] Does using the DnD approach impact my game negatively in any way? Such as performance?
- [5:37] Let's talk about the code approach. Sure looks like JavaScript – is it?
- [9:04] It appears you can mix-and-match methods for developing. Could you provide some tips on how a developer would know when to choose one type vs. the other?
- [12:56] Do you know of any games that were created primarily via DnD? (check out Eric Ruth Games.com!)

That information is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing it! You wouldn't happen to have any pics around would you? I'd love to see them!
Todays pics are of some gorgeous Asian Walnut. Totally ubercool curly figure!
Enjoy the beauty!
This is a discussion on What's new at Sarge's Grips within the Related Gear & Equipment forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Box Elder Burl. I've only ever seen that dyed/stained - it's quite neat looking in it's natural color. It reminds me of something that nearly ...
Box Elder Burl. I've only ever seen that dyed/stained - it's quite neat looking in it's natural color.
It reminds me of something that nearly all people have never seen.
That is ivory tusk with an infection in the nerve core.
The infection causes the ivory to ignore its usual/typical grain and growth pattern and grow in this crazy swirling abstract tan and ivory burl patterning.
Imagine an elephant needing a root canal. A nerve core infection is incredibly painful for the elephant. In fact (so much so) that it will almost always always cause the animal to act erratically, unpredictably, and it will go rogue.
There you have it...more than you ever wanted to know about pachyderms with massive, mammoth, toothaches causing amazingly weird ivory.
That information is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing it! You wouldn't happen to have any pics around would you? I'd love to see them!

Just time for a quick hit tonight - a lot going on in training right now.....
Tonight I offer up some very nice Afzelia Burl from SE Asia. Rich carmel coloring and knockout burl patterns make this wood a winner every time! Hope you enjoy it!
That information is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing it! You wouldn't happen to have any pics around would you? I'd love to see them!"
Nope, I had some in a tusk section some years ago (a pretty nice section) but, I made some fancy ivory guitar picks out of it.
That's too bad QKShooter, I would have like to seen some of it. Oh well.....
one more week and I'll be home, can't wait.
Tonights beauty is brought to us via some fiddleback maple. Fiddleback Maple is always cool, and I think it looks wonderful in all of it's natural glory without the stains that you so often see it wearing. The figure is very deep and 3Dish. It's a very distinctive wood!
Hope you enjoy the beauty!
Tonights beauty is presented in some "ice blue" Buckeye Burl. This particular set has some gorgeous color and graining to it to be sure! A prime example of natures beauty, I hope you all enjoy it!
The last few days in California were in the field with no access to the internet, so I apologize for the lengthy absence. I'm home again, and it's good to be here!
Todays set is a beautiful example of spalted maple that has been crosscut. Quite a gorgeous pattern in this set. Spalted woods can be quite the eye pleasers when you find the right block, but at this level of spalting, will definitely need to be stabilized prior to fabrication. This toughens the wood up quite nicely and makes it usable for grip panels.
Enjoy the beauty!
Wow, the cross cut really makes that stand out!
Todays set is in one of my personal favorites, Amboyna Burl. This set has a few inclusions in it. These things divide people - they either LOVE them or they HATE them. Very seldom is there any in the middle.
Enjoy the pics,
Tonights pics take us back to Snakewood. Both sets exhibit the highly sought after pattern that makes this wood as beautiful as it is rare. Touted as the "rarest wood in the world", it is sometimes sold by the ounce with this figure level. Most people have never even seen real Snakewood, let alone held it or owned it. I am privileged to have worked with so many beautiful examples of this wood.
Enjoy the beauty!
Okay, it's official - I go full time into grips next week! My last day here at the office is a week from tomorrow. WOOHOO! I can't wait!
Todays beauty is brought to us by a wood that is VERY solid and great for use in pistol grip panels, but is often overlooked just because it's not "wild" - Bloodwood. The great red color really looks great on frames whether stainless or dark. I have it all over my shop and even I forget about it sometimes. It's a great wood to consider if you're looking for a material to use on your pistol.
I honestly don't remember what weapon I made these for. The customer sent me the stock grips and pics and I used the grips for spacing and the pics to improve the fit and sent them out. If anyone knows what these go to, please chime in. Oh, they're stippled also.
Nice Snakewood. There is lots of Snakewood being sold on Ebay that lacks the classic "snake" patterning.
These are really super looking.
Always such great looking grips. Only if I still had my 1911. Hopefully one day I'll own another so I can purchase some of your grips.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23
Fundmental Brodcasting Network
Romans, you live in KC with me. You could just swing by the shop and check them out in person.
Todays set is Spalted Maple that was from a block that was almost too far gone to save. Maple burl is usually more of a gold or butterscotch color, but this block was from a log that had been down for so long, it's much "greyer". Next step - dust. I sent it off to the stabilizers to see what would happen and the blanks came back solid and usable. It's a very unique look for Maple Burl to be sure. I think it's pretty cool.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
Todays set is another American beauty - Redwood burl.
Lot's eyes, swirling graining and the unique color make these things real attention getters. Redwood burl is a beautiful wood that is lightweight enough when dry that it really benefits from stabilization. I just received in the shop, a new batch of LACE redwood burl that is out of this world gorgeous. I can't wait to get it back from the stabilizer and get it worked.
