Hey all I'm back with another pattern.
Let me just start by saying this little guy actually started off as a bee but as I knit him up at looked at the finished toy and realised he looked way more like a teeny weeny hedgehog and so Harry was born. When I say teeny this guy is only 1.5″ long, I mean honestly who doesn't need a mini hedgehog in their life? Oh yeah and since he is so tiny he takes lest than half an hour to make, seriously he took me about 20min and I'm not a fast knitter. I knit one up without the safety eyes for my one year old and its a great little Waldorf style toy for him to play.
So now your dying to make one (or a million) aren't you, and you're imagining all the people you can hand gift them to? Well let the yarn see the needles….
• Set of 3.25mm needles (UK size 10, US size 3)
• Yarn needle
• Toy stuffing
• 5mm black safety eyes
Yarn colours
• Dark brown
• Light brown
Yarn weight: Double knitting/ worsted weight
Gauge: not important but make it tight so stuffing doesn't show through
Finished measurements: approx 1.5″ long and 1″ wide
Click here for my abbreviation list
Remember never use toy safety eyes on a toy intended for a child under 3 years old, they are a potential choking hazard, please embroider on any features so they cannot be easily removed by little fingers or gnashers!

Hedgehog Knitting Pattern
CO 6 in dark brown yarn
1. knit
2. *kfb* along (12 sts)
3. knit
4. *kfb, k1 * along (18 sts)
5. knit
6. *kfb, k2* along (24 sts)
7-11. Garter stitch for 5 rows
12. *k2tog, k2* along (18 sts)
Change to light brown yarn
13. purl
14. *k2tog, k1* along (12 sts)
15. purl
16. *k2tog* along (6 sts)
17. purl
18. knit
19. purl
Cut yarn, leaving a long yarn tail. Use scrap yarn to embroider on a nose and eyes or insert safety eyes at this point. Use the long yarn tail to mattress stitch together the row ends, stopping 3/4 way to stuff and then continue close the remaining stitches. Weave in any loose yarn ends.
That's it you're done. How easy was that?
- If you want some feet or ears on your little guy you can use the light brown yarn to embroider them on using a french knot, awesome tutorial here.
- Knit these little guys up in loads of different colours to give as party favours at a kids party or as classmate gifts.
- Add a little ribbon bow on the head for a girl hedgehog or knit one using the bow section from my Mr & Mrs Tasche Pattern.
Happy Knitting

So this is my blog. Feel free to make yourself at home. Take a seat and put your feet up. Can I offer you a refreshing Fresca?
The one and only purpose for this existing is because I love to write. Unfortunately, I don't get many opportunities to do so. Thus, this blog. But now that I have my soapbox, I need something to yell about when I climb on top of it. I can make this a personal journal, but who wants to read that? I mean, sure, maybe some people are interested. But my life is pretty dull in general, so I'd have to really be reaching to update this with any sort of regularity. Does anyone want to read about how my annual physical went or the great deal I found on parsnips at the market? That's not what one does to get hits.
I can write about celebrity "nip slips", but I get the impression that the market on that is pretty well covered.
Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that I should keep this true to myself and what I'm all about. After all, if I'm bored with what I'm writing about, what are the odds that anyone else will care? And who would care to read it? No one, that's who!
What does that entail then? I am a big, fat geek and that's what this blog is about. Video games are my absolute passion (which some of you may have guessed by the title of this post). I've been playing games ever since I could hold a controller on my parents' Atari 2600 and never looked back since. For nearly as long, I've been reading comic books. I stopped reading for several years, but I'm back and am slowly catching up. I'm mostly a Marvel guy but I love DC as well and I'm expanding my horizons. I'm a bit of a football nut (go 49ers!) and I love hockey and baseball as well. Finally, I love movies so much that I got a job at a theater. I'm also a gadget junkie and I love wrestling. Basically, if IGN covers it, I love it.
As you can see, I have a wide range of interests. That's not even covering everything, but those are my main interests and what I'll be writing about. Come follow me in my geeky ways. I hope you enjoy what I have to say.

Artist: The Posies
Album: Every Kind Of Light
Appears On (Mixes): Dub Club: Matt's 2005 Best Of -- Streets Named For New England Trees; Marooned
Song Notes: Dub Club: Matt's 2005 Best Of -- Streets Named For New England Trees: Tell you the truth, the new Posies album didn't really click with me as well as some of the others did (I almost put on "Ontario", "Daily Mutilation" or "Hate Song" from Amazing Disgrace or "Golden Blunders" or "My Big Mouth" from Dear 23 instead), but I went with this one because it's from the new record and is just outstanding, and it actually took another mix CD by a friend of mine to show me how outstanding it is. This is just a really slow pretty song about the demise of a relationship. It reminds me of one that they played live the first time I saw them (this year at their Easy Street Records instore after Bumbershoot… where they played longer than they would have at Bumbershoot!), which no one could figure out what song it was from the lyrics I remembered (which I don't remember much of, but I remember it had some lyrical bits similar to "Blackbird" by the Beatles), and sounded similar in tone/arrangement to this one. Anyway, though, it's real good. -Rev. Syung Myung Me

One of the most annoying periods of your appointment setting campaigns is to get in touch with a business prospect, begin a promising sales leads nurturing process and then, out the blue, they no longer talk to you. And no matter how much you try to contact them, try to get their business, they are no longer responsive to your inquiries. This sure is an irritating period of uncertainty, one that is not helped by the prospect's unresponsiveness. What could those reasons be?

A computer used to have Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition installed on it. That was uninstalled, and AVG was installed instead. For several months now, Spiceworks has been reporting that this computer still has Symantec a/v sw installed.

Howdy Odom,
To ensure that Symantec's AV package is completely removed from your system, visit Symantec's website to download and run their Security Cleanup Tool. If the Symantec information is still showing after that, let me know.
May 9, 2008 at 11:57 UTC
I realize that some software applications do not properly clean up after themselves. However, as a utility which monitors the network for users, i believe it would best suite the Spiceworks Community if Spiceworks were to do more thorough checks for more popular software packages, such as major antivirus programs.
As to the cleanup tool ... i'll go do that right now.
May 9, 2008 at 12:03 UTC
No symantec files were found by the security check tool.

text: Pres. Barack Obama Security, Diplomacy A Difficult Balance for U.S. The order to tighten security at all U.S. diplomatic posts around the globe following attacks in the Middle East may be necessary, but it will come at a cost. There has been an enormous increase in security precautions at American embassies and consulates over the past 30 years, and the bubble that many diplomats now operate under makes it more difficult for them to interact with people in other countries, limiting their ability to gather information and promote the American "brand." In Convention Run-Up, Obama Targets Three States By Scott Horsley • Sep 3, 2012 President Obama holds a Labor Day campaign rally in Toledo, Ohio, on Monday, and then flies to Louisiana to inspect the damage from Hurricane Isaac. The Toledo rally is part of a long weekend of campaigning, leading up to the Democratic National Convention, which starts Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C. The president held a rally with thousands of students at the University of Colorado over the weekend. Just five days earlier, he'd been at Colorado State. Obama is hoping to harness the cross-state rivalry between the schools in the service of his re-election campaign. Lubbock Judge: Obama Re-election Could Prompt Civil War By Hollie O'Connor, Texas Tribune • Aug 22, 2012 Texas Tribune A Lubbock County judge is making headlines after suggesting that President Obama might hand over sovereignty of the United States to the United Nations, possibly igniting in a civil war. In an interview with Fox 34 News in Lubbock, County Judge Tom Head said that if re-elected, Obama was "going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N. Okay, what's going to happen when that happens? I'm thinking worst case scenario here. Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe. We're not just talking a few riots here and demonstrations. We're talking Lexington-Concord take up arms and get rid of the guy." Ahead of Election, GOP Assails Democrats on Immigration By Julian Aguilar, Texas Tribune • Aug 9, 2012 Jacob Villanueva, Texas Tribune A new ad in toss-up state Nevada warns Hispanic voters that a vote for President Obama is a vote for the "deporter-in-chief" — an incumbent who fell short on his campaign promise to enact immigration reform. "Since he took office, President Obama has broken up hundreds of thousands of families through a policy of massive deportations," Alfonso Aguilar, the executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, said in a news release. "He has been hoodwinking the American people, deploring the Arizona and Georgia immigration laws as bad laws, while deporting more immigrants than any modern president." The ad, paid for by the conservative nonprofit American Principles in Action, is part of a larger strategy by Republicans to challenge the perception that Democrats are friendlier toward immigrants than they are. Romney Attacks President on Welfare; Obama Team Alleges Hypocrisy By Frank James, NPR • Aug 7, 2012 (Revised and updated @ 5:55 pm ET) In an attack likely to conjure up for many President Reagan's successful use of Cadillac-driving welfare queens as an issue in presidential politics, Mitt Romney's campaign accused President Obama of using his power to weaken work requirements for welfare recipients. Romney Goes After Obama On Alleged Leaking Of Secrets By Tom Gjelten • Jul 31, 2012 The latest national security issue to figure in the presidential campaign has little to do with Iran, Afghanistan or other foreign policy challenges. Mitt Romney is instead focusing on what he and other Republicans allege is the Obama administration's record of leaking classified information for political purposes. Genealogists Say Obama Likely a Descendant of First American Slave By Eyder Peralta • Jul 30, 2012 Genealogists at Ancestry.com have two surprises for us today: After years of studying President Obama's family tree, they have concluded that he was likely John Punch's 11th great-grandson. Punch is considered the first documented American slave. The second surprise: The experts connected President Obama to Punch not through his African father, but through his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, who was white. President Obama: 'Such Violence, Such Evil is Senseless; It's Beyond Reason' In a speech from Fort Myers, Fla., President Obama said today was "a day for prayer and reflection." The President cancelled a planned campaign event and instead addressed the mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. He asked those gathered to pause for a moment of silence to remember the victims. "Even as we learn how this happened and who's responsible, we may never understand what leads anyone to terrorize their fellow human beings like this," Obama said. "Such violence, such evil is senseless; it's beyond reason." Slideshow: President Obama in Austin By Wells Dunbar • Jul 18, 2012 Filipa Rodrigues for KUT News President Barack Obama made a whirlwind trip through Texas yesterday, addressing crowds in San Antonio before holding two re-election fundraisers in Austin. KUT News intern and photographer Filipa Rodrigues was there for President Obama's speech at the Austin Music Hall. You can view a slideshow of her photos, posted to KUT Austin's Flickr page. A Storify Timeline of Obama's Visit to Austin By Wells Dunbar • Jul 17, 2012 Filipa Rodrigues for KUT News President Barack Obama just touched down in Austin. With so much chatter online regarding President Obama's arrival, KUT News has compiled a Storify timeline with updates and photos documenting his arrival. We will refresh the timeline with additional updates as they come in. Hungry? Four Feasts You Could Buy for the Cost of an Obama Ticket By Chip Skambis & Wells Dunbar • Jul 17, 2012 Pete Souza Tickets to President Barack Obama's Austin fundraising events range from $250 to $25,000. And while his campaign expects to net millions in contributions, that's only an appetizer compared to overall costs of the 2012 presidential campaign. Money is the fuel that feeds political campaigns, making these fundraising stops a little like going out to eat – except with speeches and hordes of reporters following you, some of whom recently noted President Obama eats ice cream cones with a spoon. But in the interest of keeping it weird, we looked at what Austin food this fundraising money could buy. Perry Slams Holder as Obama Arrives in Austin By Wells Dunbar & Lauren Karell • Jul 17, 2012 Perry photo, Gage Skidmore; Holder photo Dept. of Justice Governor Rick Perry used President Barack Obama's Texas campaign swing to attack the Obama administration's Attorney General, Eric Holder. Gov. Perry's comments are directed towards Attorney General Holder's comment last week regarding Voter ID initiatives in several states, Texas included. During a NAACP conference in Houston, Holder referred called voter ID laws "poll taxes," arguing the laws disproportionally disenfranchise poor and minority voters. "Perhaps while the President is visiting Texas, he can take a break from big-dollar fundraisers to disavow his Attorney General's offensive and incendiary comments regarding our common-sense voter identification law," Gov. Perry said in a statement. Biden Says It, So Obama Doesn't Have To By Liz Halloran, NPR • Jul 12, 2012 President Obama may have disappointed the NAACP by appearing only via brief video message Thursday at the civil rights group's annual gathering — especially after Mitt Romney had personally taken the stage a day earlier. But sending in Vice President Biden to stir things up, just 24 hours after Romney was booed while delivering a conservative message meant to resonate beyond the walls of the Houston convention center, seemed to work out just fine for Obama. Obama Touts Auto Bailout in Ohio Tour President Obama began a two-day bus tour of swing states Ohio and Pennsylvania on Thursday and spent part of the time campaigning on his bailout of U.S. automakers. "My experience has been in saving the American auto industry. And as long as I'm president that's what I'm going to be doing, waking up every single day thinking about how we can create more jobs for your families," Obama said at a rally in Maumee, Ohio. Health Care Law Grant Helping Austin Clinic Expand By Laura Rice • Jun 20, 2012 People's Community Clinic An Austin health clinic is getting $650,000 from the federal government as part of the Obama Administration's health care overhaul. People's Community Clinic is one of more than 200 clinics nationwide to receive money. People's Community Clinic is using the money to expand access for patients by creating more clinic space. "Every day there are people who call who would like appointments who we can't see. And so this is an opportunity to make sure that we have more capacity to meet more of the needs in our community," said Regina Rogoff, People's Community Clinic CEO. Polls: Obama's Immigration Changes Get Broad Voter Support By Frank James, NPR • Jun 19, 2012 Early indications suggest President Obama has a majority of voters on his side with his decision to defer deportation proceedings for young illegal immigrants who meet certain conditions. President Obama's Immigration Shift Could Bolster Latino Support In November By Corey Dade, NPR • Jun 18, 2012 President Obama's decision to stop deporting young, otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants could help rebuild his support among electorally important Latinos after 18 months of futile efforts, some activists said Friday. "There is overwhelming support for the protection of these children, as there is in the rest of the country. I think this could have an energizing effect on Latino voters," says Clarissa Martinez del Castro, director of immigration and national campaigns for National Council of La Raza. With DREAM Order, Obama Did What Presidents Do: Act Without Congress By Frank James, NPR • Jun 15, 2012 President Obama's announcement Friday that he is using his executive authority to defer deportation proceedings for young immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally but meet certain requirements was just the latest example of the president's use of his power to act without Congress on policy issues. DHS to Grant Relief for Some Young Illegal Immigrants By Julian Aguilar, Texas Tribune • Jun 15, 2012 Caleb Bryant Miller, Texas Tribune The Obama administration announced Friday that, effective immediately, it will begin issuing work permits and grant relief from deportation to certain illegal immigrants brought to the country before they were 16 years old and are currently younger than 30. Obama Offers Work Permit Program to Undocumented Residents with Clean Backgrounds By Wells Dunbar • Jun 15, 2012 Flickr user qbac07, flickr.com/30816404@N04 The Obama Administration announced sweeping changes to immigration enforcement policy today: effective immediately, young, undocumented residents of the U.S. with clean backgrounds "will be considered for relief from removal from the country or from entering into removal proceedings." The announcement comes from U.S. Department of Homeland Security. "Those who demonstrate that they meet the criteria will be eligible to receive deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal, and will be eligible to apply for work authorization," the statement continues.

It would be impossible not to look twice if you saw Davis. That's exactly what happened when the Spunkworthy director was wandering round his local mall and glanced in his direction. Feeling brave, the director boldly asked Davis if he'd like to do porn. Not being new to the camera, Davis decided to go along and make a solo shoot. With a full on erection Davis sits naked and plays with his cock and enjoying his exhibitionist streak.

With the huge numeral of diets that are untaken today, it can be deeply demanding to choice one that is matched for you.

What will that do to your organic process and in the end to your health?
Obviously, the top treatment is to confer with near a well-qualified medical office until that time you ever have an idea that going on for production avant-garde changes to your fare or uptake traditions. Unfortunately, many grouping will not do this no business how oodles disclaimers or other cautionary signs and red flags are presented to them before they adjustment diets. If this is your attitude, indulge deduce that it is frozen highly suggested that you do call in a certifiable nutritional skilled at the hugely most minuscule and a medico would be even recovered for your overall wellbeing.Post ads:

That person said, location are more than a few admonitory signs to gawk out for when you are selecting a diet that is precisely for you. Any fare that requires you to donate up whole classifications of matter are not active to be that growing for the middling causal agency. Unless you refer to scrap substance as a provisions group, this is by and large an sign of thing improper next to the fare. If you have secure relating to diet needs, such as low-sodium diets or limitations due to thing specified as diabetes, within may be exceptions. Then again, that is why it is finest if you do head off the net declaration to medical professionals.
On the other than hand are galore diets that explain to you how markedly weight you can put in the wrong place if you lone eat one category of foods.

'...This new journal, with a smart roster of established experts and analysts, promises to make the energy efficiency resource more real and much more available. The timing couldn't be more critical to both our economic and our environmental well-being.'
John A. "Skip" Laitner, American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)
This journal is intended to cover different aspects of energy efficiency in the residential, tertiary, industrial and transport sectors. Energy efficiency is a multidisciplinary field ranging from economic and environmental science, to engineering and social science. It also encompasses policy science and psychology. Therefore a journal dedicated to energy efficiency covers a number of different topics and disciplines including:
Energy efficiency policies at local, regional, national and international levels: Energy taxation, subsidies, information campaigns, voluntary programmes, standards and labels, energy savings obligation, market-based mechanisms, integration of Kyoto flexible mechanisms, etc. This topic includes policy design, analysis, evaluation, and assessment. Of particular interest are methodologies to assess, verify and certify energy savings.
Long term impact of energy efficiency: The impact of energy efficiency on long term energy scenarios, on climate-change scenarios, etc.
Technologies to improve energy efficiency: New and innovative technologies, both in the R&D and demonstration phases, to reduce energy consumption or to improve energy efficiency in the various end-uses (refrigeration, lighting, motive power, heating, etc.); successful examples of market transformations.
Consumer behaviour and the dynamics of consumption: Looking ahead at how demand for energy, new products and services is developing; exploring the scope for bringing forward new technology, or for the technology transfer that will be necessary to keep the lid on energy consumption or that offers breakthroughs to more efficient solutions for consumer behaviour; developing a deeper understanding of what are the important contributors to energy consumption, how consumption changes, and what role policy can play in effecting changes.
Socio-economic impacts of energy efficiency measures: Rebound effects, poverty alleviation, etc.
Energy efficiency as a virtual utility: DSM programmes, tariff structures to encourage energy conservation, demand response, metering, etc.
Transportation issues: Demand for mobility, modal shifts, congestion management, new and efficient engines, collective vehicle ownership, etc.
Building issues: Comfort, spatial planning, building simulation tools, building physics, building energy using equipment and systems (HVAC, lighting, etc.), low and zero emission buildings, integration of renewable and decentralised energy production.
Energy management systems: Energy management systems, audits, energy efficiency as part of environmental management systems.
Energy Services: ESCOs, energy performance contracting, financing energy efficiency, energy and facility management, M&V.
Energy planning and risk assessment: Integrated assessment of supply and demand options; evaluation methodologies for physical and financial results from energy efficiency; energy efficiency as a risk management asset.
Energy efficiency in developing countries and economies in transition: How can incentives for energy efficiency be established in parts of the world where consumption is growing and changing rapidly? What is the role of efficiency in contributing to sustainable development?
Non-energy benefits of energy efficiency and opportunities for policy integration: Case studies highlighting the non-energy benefits of energy efficiency that enable strategic alliances with other high-priority policy goals (such as employment, competitiveness, productivity, energy sovereignty, social development, fuel poverty alleviation, environment, etc.).
Energy education/training: Development of education and training courses for consumers (citizens), energy professionals, and students; assessment of the impact of energy efficiency education; education campaigns.
Industrial issues: Energy cost optimisation; emission control through energy efficiency; emission trading; energy and environmental management schemes.
Emerging technologies: Focusing on what is in the pipeline, as distinct from what's commercially available.

Heidi Montag 's Mother Thinks Heidi Looks Like a Circus Freak, Ringling Brothers Demands Retraction
Halloween came way early for Darlene Egelhoff this year. Egelhoff, mother of newly transformed Hills blonde Heidi Montag, got an up-close look at her daughter's new face when Montag returned to her hometown of Crested Butte, Colorado, to flaunt the results of her plastic surgery spree.
Surprise—her mom hated it! How much did she hate it? Let's let Montag recall the encounter:
"I never thought in my wildest dreams she was going to react the way she did. She was looking at me almost like a zoo animal. It wasn't like I was her daughter anymore. She was looking at me like I was a circus freak…I tried to leave it as best as I could, but my heart was breaking."
Ouch. Good thing for Heidi that her new face was probably still too stiff to register her disappointment.
But really, a circus freak? Isn't that a little harsh? To the circus freaks, we mean. To be fair, they usually don't enlist the services of a plastic surgeon to make themselves grotesque. And unlike Montag, they're generally only unpleasant on the outside.

Quote from Floor Vases Decoration Applied in Contemporary House :
In relation to the plentiful kinds of the floor vases, here are some photos following. The kinds of floor vases decoration design are various both in model, materials, and sizes. As here in Colorful living room, they apply green short floor vase that can make the room into a work of art by giving orchid and branches as decorations. The floor vase is applied on brown floor and more hues and soft living room decoration. In other case, when the living room looks as elegant, high stainless steel floor vases can decorate the living room that is in grey ambiance and using white furry sofas and pillows. The existence of the floor vases can steal our looks exactly by apply it near to the wall beside sofas.

Hannibal POV
I am risen up into a giant wheat field with forest on the edges and thorny bushes all around. I need to win this battle to live. First I'll need a sword. It seems as though weapons are spread out so that the person 3 to the left has the weapon needed in Front of them. To my right is somebody who looks old, fierce, and has dark skin. I heard his name is Sitting Bull. To the left is somebody else unrecognizable, But I know he also uses a spear. GONG! I sprint to the left. First, I pick up a Sword. I slash the Person Next to me. That unrecognizable Guy. He isn't Moving. Then, Just before I have the oppening, A guy in a horse goes right in front of me. I realize it. There was a horse in the middle. This guy looks like He's From The Mediterranean.
Pericles POV
Now That I have the horse, some armor, and a spear, I Kill a tribute running for a sword and pick up the sword myself. I put it in the weapon posket for the horse. Next, I meet up with a guy who says that He is greek, Achilles, A guy from Sparta, Leonidas, and Alexander, a Macedonian. We argue about the horse. I got it, so I think I deserve it. We decide that I will charge at the enemy and the others will come at them from the other three sides, surrounding any enemy. People are calling the Greeks "Careers", but I call everyone "Careers".
Ram Khamhaeng POV
To avoid the bloodbath, I go to the back of the conucopia and climb it. I see everything. Hannibal killing Sitting Bull. Pericles getting the horse. Pericles killing Hannibal. Saladin Killing Joan of Arc. William Wallace killing Atilla. William Wallace killing Ramesses. Genghis Khan killing William Wallace. I also see alliances forming. Pericles, Leonidas, Achilles, and Alexander are in a Greek Alliance. Pacal, Hiawatha, and Simon Bolivar making an alliance of the Americas. Then I see an Asian alliance forming. Qin Shi Huang, Tokugawa, and Genghis Khan. I risk it. "May I join your alliance?" I ask. It's a tough call. Because otherwise they won't kill me and I'll be after them. "No!" Genghis Khan has his Bow poised, pointed at me. He releases. It hits my arm and I nearly fall off. But just as he is ready to shoot again, Qin Shi Huang kills him with a sword.
Askia POV
I only took a backpack and a sword and ran away. When the bloodbath is over, I hear Seven cannon shots. That means that 17 remain. When I am safe and in the forest, I open up my bag. I see some matches. At training, they taught us that this is a way to make fire. Also I get a sleeping bag, a fruit, and a bottle of water. I count the matches. There are 15. I use one. I make a torch which I use to burn and kill enemies. I will burn it out at night. I soon realize that Ragnar is nearby. He is about 5 inches taller than me. I sneak up behind him. then I knock him on the head with a rock, and once he has fallen, I put the flame at his head for a few minutes. He might not be dead, but he will not win. Then I realize that I left my sword where I checked out my backpack. I take the torch, get the sword, and come back, to find that Rangar is awake but can't get up. He has no weapons. I take the sword and finish him off by cutting off his legs and arms. He bleeds like crazy then the Canon is sounded.
Achilles POV
It is getting darker and we need a shelter. Soon we realize that shelter has been here all along--The cornucopia! We go into the mouth of the horn and we gather up wheat. We block the entrances with a giant pile of wheat, and get some thorns and put those in and around the wheat. Now, we have the perfect shelter. We also made a small hole in the ground and realized that it led to a tunnel leading us out of the cornucopia. So we use the tunnel and peak outside as the weird anthem sounds. Genghis Khan, Atilla, Hannibal, Joan of Arc, Ramesses, William Wallace, Sitting Bull, and Ragnar will not live again. Only 16 remain. Outside, it is very cold. but in the sealed cornucopia, it is warm and there is no need of Trying to make a fire. Next, we check what we have. A can of soup. A few carrots. Two filled bottles of water. A spare set of clothes. Two sleeping bags. A horse. Four Spears, Four swords, one mace, one bow, and one quiver of arrows. We are doing well, so we go to sleep.
Alexander POV
Only a few minutes after we try to sleep, he hear a thud outside. Everyone is awake. wee peek out the tunnel. It's Ram Khamhaeng, and he has a wound on his shoulder. I don't know if he just got it, so I go back to the cornucopia. "Ram Khamaeng has a wound on his shoulder. There might be someone out there, so be prepared. Now, Are we going to kill?" They all say yes. We prepare our armor, weapons, and head to the tunnel. When we get there, I head immediately to Ram Khamhaeng. I cut his head off. BOOM! BOOM! Why two cannons? I look over my shoulder only to see Pericles dead, with an arrow in his back. Then I see it: Hiawatha, Simon Bolivar, Tokugawa, Qin Shi Huang, and Pacal are all poised together, weapons ready.
Hiawatha POV
We noe understand tht the greeks are in the cornucopia and have a tunnel to get out. But our goal is to kill all of them. We need their belongings, especially the horse. I kill Achilles with another shot of an arrow. BOOM! But as we expected, they aren't going down without a fight. Leonidas takes out a knife and throws it at Pacal's heart. he hits Pacal, but misses the heart. We leave him behind. Then he trows another straight at Tokugawa's head. BOOM! Now it's three against two based on the amount of fighters. Alexander won't risk throwing his spear because then he'll have no weapons. But the spear is long and he's in full armor, so he'll get me before I get him. BOOM! That must be Pacal. But then, out of nowhere, lightning strikes Simon Bolivar, and trhough he is not dead, he is not moving. The thunder is so loud that we are sent backwards and the fight is over.

Storm postpones Portugal pro event
A storm has forced organisers to again postpone the start of the professional surfing event in Portugal.
Wild winds and driving rain ripped through the race site at Peniche overnight and there was no way the competition could go ahead.
But the front is expected to bring much better waves this week.
Day one was also called off on Monday because the conditions were too calm.
The Pro Search is the second-last round of the men's world tour.
Australian Mick Fanning leads long-time friend and compatriot Joel Parkinson by just 44 points.

As we reported yesterday, it looks like Fabricio Coloccini will be moving to San Lorenzo this summer, and there's a report today in TyCSports.com that he's in negotiations on a deal to join the Buenos Aries based club.
Fabricio Coloccini – now effectively a free agent
Free to make a deal with San Lorenzo
This is photo of Fab shown in TyCSports today
Piedra libre para @matiaslammens cerrando la vuelta de @coloccini_fab .. informa @pablimed para @TyCSports pic.twitter.com/bVX88pNFWN
— Gonza Chavez (@hensacha) June 30, 2016
The above is said to be a smartly dressed Fabricio Coloccini speaking to the President of San Lorenzo, Matías Lammens, about his move there.
The report says that Fabricio Coloccini is to return to San Lorenzo and that a deal has been reached with Newcastle, who have agreed to release the player one year before the end of his current contract.
They say that Fabricio has made a tour of Europe in his long career and played for Alaves, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Milan, Deportivo La Coruna and finally Newcastle, where's he been playing since the summer of 2008.
So Newcastle have effectively made Coloccini a free agent, which he would have been if Steve McClaren hadn't extended his contract for a year last summer.
They say in the report that this will be the first signing for San Lorenzo this summer and that Coloccini will reinforce the squad.
This has yet to be announced by Newcastle, but it makes sense and he was expected to join San Lorenzo this summer.
That will also get his massive £65K/week wages of the wage bill for the coming season.
A good and sensible move by Newcastle.
Fabricio played 263 times with 7 goals for Newcatsle during his eight seasons on Tyneside.
Comments welcome.

One of the best ways for our Members to share knowledge and best practices is through Benchmarking and Surveys. It does not take many words to explain the biggest finding of this year's telco IT benchmarking study (TeBIT) conducted annually by ETIS in co-operation with The Boston Consulting Group. To put it simply, digital initiatives pay off. This turn of events warrants the headline treatment—and perhaps a sigh of relief from Europe's telecom operators.
This year's study found that of the participating telcos, those that were most active in the digital space—deploying the widest variety of initiatives—suffered the smallest revenue declines. The correlation was clear, compelling, and significant. Telcos have struggled in recent years, often unsuccessfully, to maintain their revenue level, so the validation that digital initiatives are a way to stem or even turn the tide would seem to be break-out-the-champagne news.
But a couple of findings also revealed by this year's survey suggest that telcos should not pop the cork just yet. Many participants—representing a mix of integrated, fixed, and mobile operators from both mature and emerging markets—are pursuing digital initiatives without a comprehensive, long-term strategy. Instead, they are trying a little bit of everything. In addition, at many telcos, there are few business-transformation initiatives—or none at all—being undertaken. The lack of strategy and transformation initiatives may well be tempering the payoff. As Gian Enrico Paglia, Telecom Italia's director of IT and convergent architecture, put it, "Digital has to be a concerted, company-wide effort, with telcos not only implementing new capabilities but also changing internal processes."
Now is an opportune time for telcos to think bigger, and deeper, about digital initiatives, particularly given our other major finding: participants are in the beginning stages of deploying digital products and services. The bulk of telcos' support, sales, and marketing efforts are still conducted through traditional off-line channels. In addition, most TeBIT participants are only just starting to develop capabilities in big data, an area closely related to, and dependent on, digitization; digital offerings generate data, and companies will gain actionable insights by analyzing it.
Indeed, more traditional areas—such as fulfilment and billing—continue to be the focus of telcos' investment budgets. Emphasizing these areas has long been a sound move, because they affect the customer experience and can help operators differentiate themselves. But digital initiatives can also help companies stand out from the crowd. And by demonstrating the payoff—even through scattershot approaches—TeBIT 2015 raises the question of whether telcos should embrace digital initiatives a bit more boldly. This question doesn't cast doubt on telcos' current investment focus but rather asks if they should spend more than they do today on digital initiatives.
Over the years, TeBIT participants—and their IT departments in particular—have always found ways to manoeuvre in light of business challenges and opportunities, recalibrating their approaches to best suit their circumstances and needs. A case in point is IT operating models: as these models have become more complex, telcos have improved the way they manage the costs. TeBIT 2015 found participants better at this than ever.
Telcos are running a tighter ship even as they operate a more complicated one, and this points to their ability to adapt. Digital initiatives are a new lever that operators can apply in their ongoing quest to innovate and optimize. How telcos apply this lever will have a major effect on how far they step beyond—or fall behind—the competition.

There were 3 minutes 26 seconds left in the first quarter Sunday night, the Knicks up by 15 over the Indiana Pacers. Suddenly, the decibel level started to rise at Madison Square Garden. Some fans even stood and clapped. Al Harrington and Nate Robinson were reporting in, and the summer-warm welcome was not for Harrington.
Coach Mike D'Antoni has finally let Robinson come out and play again, and the rotation is spinning again with him in its midst.
On Friday night, after being benched for 14 games, Robinson scorched Atlanta for 41 points in 38 minutes as a reserve, carrying the Knicks to an overtime victory.
Robinson did not have a good follow-up in front of the fans who usually love his energetic act. But the Knicks turned in a brilliant effort over all and secured their largest margin of victory since April 1994, easing past the Pacers, 132-89.
"We played about as well as we could play," D'Antoni said.
Wilson Chandler paced the Knicks with 23 points, and David Lee had 22 points and 16 rebounds. Robinson shot just 2 of 11 from the field. He contributed 6 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, playing 22:53.Continue reading the main story
"I was just coming in with a positive attitude, even when I wasn't playing," Robinson said. "I just came in ready to play."
Before Friday's game, Robinson had last played on Dec. 1. Robinson, playing on a one-year, $4 million deal, can light up an arena at any time. But his maturity, discipline and defense had come into question again. And the team was not winning.
"Most of it was we were looking for a different formula, defense," D'Antoni said. "Toney Douglas was playing well at the time, and so was Larry Hughes. And we started winning. It just kind of snowballed into a winning formula. We put the other thing on the back burner."
The Knicks (14-20) won 8 of their first 11 games without the other thing, Robinson. Then the bench production began to sag. The team lost three of four, and D'Antoni opened the doghouse door.
Aaron Goodwin, Robinson's agent, had demanded a trade during the monthlong benching, which resulted in the N.B.A.'s fining Robinson $25,000. But Robinson remained prepared to play.
Yet D'Antoni is not going to break an arm trying to pat Robinson on the back for that.
"We pay these guys a lot of money to stay ready," D'Antoni said. "It's not like, 'Oh boy, he stayed ready.' "
He added, "I'm glad he did it, and he should've done it."
While Robinson has ascended back into the rotation, Hughes has been dropped from it again.
"This is my second or third time now, so it's getting old," said Hughes, the only available Knick not to play despite a lead that swelled to an N.B.A. season-high 48 and ended at 43, 5 shy of the franchise record for margin of victory. "I'm just dealing with it every day, coming to work being prepared to play."
The Knicks shot out to a 27-12 advantage. Then Robinson came in, but it was the bad Nate appearing on his first touch. He drove the right side of the lane before forcing a pass inside that went for a turnover. His first shot, a long jumper that missed, came with 16 seconds on the shot clock.
It did not matter with the other Knicks playing so well and the Pacers (10-23) missing three starters because of injuries and playing the tail end of back-to-back games.
"We didn't have the weapons or the legs to compete with the Knicks tonight," Indiana Coach Jim O'Brien said.
By the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were shooting 60.9 percent from the field and riding a 38-16 lead.
Late in the game, the Knicks were ahead, 129-81.
"I hope the fans can enjoy what we are doing and get behind us," D'Antoni said after his team improved to 11-6 over the last 17 games. "But at the same time, we have a big hole to get out of."
Jonathan Bender returned for the Knicks after missing one game with a sore left leg, and had 8 points and 7 rebounds against his former team. ... Eddy Curry (stomach ailment) sat out his ninth straight game.Continue reading the main story

"Losses would be apportioned to shareholders and unsecured creditors. In all likelihood, shareholders would lose all value and unsecured creditors should thus expect that their claims would be written down to reflect any losses that shareholders did not cover."
----"Resolving Globally Active, Systemically Important, Financial Institutions", joint paper by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Bank of England, 10 December 2012.
"We worked hard to make sure taxpayer bailouts are completely prohibited. I think the language is very tight on that. I think bondholders are starting to wake up to the idea that their money is at risk and that they could take losses, which will result in greater market discipline. If you convince the market TBTF is over, debt spreads will go up for large institutions."
---"Sheila Bair: Dodd-Frank really did end taxpayer bailouts", Washington Post, 18 May 2013
So, if you believe what the FDIC says, bank holding company bondholders are no longer inside the TBTF safety net. Under SPEROLA (Single-Point of Entry Resolution under the Orderly Liquidation Authority), the FDIC will place the BHC under SPEROLA and will push the bank's insolvency onto BHC stockholders and bondholders, even if the BHC has no double-leverage and is solvent. I shall not discuss whether this represents an illegal breach of the debtholder's right to the assets of the bankrupt's estate: it is, but I won't discuss it. Let's assume that this is the Law of the Land.
The FDIC says that a failed bank's capital deficiency will be deducted from the BHC's bondholder claims. Now we can quibble with that; you may recall that Congress outlawed BHC bailouts twenty years ago, which didn't stop the Treasury from bailing the big BHCs in 2008. In systemic crises, the law is often ignored.
The FDIC insists that BHCs are not TBTF and that rescuing them is now illegal. You can see this going one of two ways. Either (1) nothing has changed and we can all sleep at night; or (2) what the FDIC says is true, and Citi and BofA would be allowed to default on their senior debt, of which they have a truckload.
If we buy the theory that BHCs are no longer TBTF but that big banks remain TBTF, then the risk of owning a BHC bond is very different from owning a bank bond or a bank deposit. Bonds issued by Citibank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. are still 100% protected under Dodd-Frank.
