A picture of the logo of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) has drawn the attention of social media users. This picture of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH)'s logo has gotten people talking, as they seem to have noticed something that was oblivious to a lot of people including the staff and students of the school.
Social media users were drawn to the logo which was designed to look like a penis with an open book lying next to it, when a twitter user shared a link that announced screening and interviews dates for direct entry students.
Checkout some of their reactions below:
@ChineEzeks "Lol, this has to be the funniest logo I've seen. LAUTECH wyd??? ."
Another said: "I think we need to have a word with the person who designed this Lautech emblem." And this: "And they paid someone to design this, and nobody was naughty enough to notice the entire messiness of it? Not one person?"

text: The Walkman as a standalone hardware device was killed off earlier this year. But as a way of accessing your music, it's still alive and well, with the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman handset now flying the flag for that iconic name.As a handset, it's no slouch, packing a 3.2-inch capacitive screen, an unnamed 1GHz processor, 2GB of storage (expandable by card), a front-facing camera for Skype video calling, plus a five-megapixel camera with auto-focus capable of shooting 720p HD video. As you might expect, it comes with the latest version of Android (Gingerbread 2.3). But that's only half the story of a phone that's being described as a 'unique social music experience' by Sony Ericsson.Sony Ericsson 's head of product marketing Nikolaus Scheurer said: 'Consumers want smartphones to deliver a rich and social entertainment experience. Rather than a one-dimensional music experience, they want instant and seamless access to new content, combined with the ability to share and connect with their friends. The Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman provides exactly this, in a powerful package with great style.'Specifically, the Live with Walkman (not sure about that name) has deep Facebook integration, as seen on recent Xperia phones, allowing you to instantly access Facebook through the most used areas of the phone, such as the picture gallery, music player, phonebook and calendar. In addition, a Media Discovery Application offers up 'dynamic' recommendations for music and video, including Facebook-based recommendations from friends. Talking of music, just hit the 'Walkman' button to get instant access to a fully-featured media player.The smartphone also has what's being called an 'Infinite button'. Tapping it within the media player gives you instant access to new content about yout favourite artist, such as music videos, artist information and lyrics search. Sony's Qriocity music and video content services are also here, should you want to access even more music and movies. Want to bump up the noise levels for those tunes? Sony's xLOUD technology is here too, perfect for annoying your fellow commuters.Take your pick from black or white when it lands, which is likely to be before Christmas.

Doctor Recommended remote programming. Clinical Knowledge from an athletic mind.
What is WODhabilitation?
As WODdoc has grown so many great questions have poured in about functional fitness injures. How do I fix this? Why does it hurt when I do that? How can I improve this? How can I prevent that?
Before the launch of WODhabilitation I was often limited to the answers I could provide. Through WODhabilitation I can now provide much more accurate and detailed information through personalized remote programming, guiding athletes back to what they love to do most!
How does WODhabilitation work?
Step 1:
Athletes schedule a video consultation.
Step 2:
Confirmation of the appointment time will be emailed to the athlete along with detailed paperwork that must be filled out prior to the appointment time.
Step 3:
Video consultation will be performed via Skype. History will be reviewed and video examination will be performed. At the conclusion any additional video analysis or information needed will be requested.
Step 4:
Within 24hours following submission of any additional information athlete will be provided with 1 week of personalized WODhabilitation programming.
Step 5:
Additional programming can be purchased at 1, 3, or 6 month intervals. During this time weekly programming will be sent based on the individual athletes limitations, progress and aspirations.
What can WODhabilitation be used for?
- Injury rehabilitation
- Injury prevention
- Proper movement progression (example: getting your first muscle-up)
- Movement proficiency / Performance enhancement
- Elimination of training plateaus
- Competitive programming
Why Choose WODhabiliation?
WODhabilitation is directed by Dr. Tim Simansky, a Chiropractor and Strength & Conditioning Coach that specializes in sport rehabilitation and injury prevention. He has worked in all levels of sports from the beginner to professional setting. Crossfit is his passion and he has been deeply involved in the treatment/rehabilitation of functional fitness athletes since 2010. Working on the medical staffs of the Crossfit Regionals and Games he has gathered a vast amount of knowledge of Crossfit injuries. Being a crossfitter himself he understands the constant urge for progression yet as a clinician he has the knowledge to balance that with safety.
Ideals of WODhabilitation
WODhabilitation programming is personally designed to each individual. It takes into consideration foundational strength, mobility, stability, and functional symmetry. In many crossfit athletes their talent overshadows their foundational ability. WODhabilitation's ideals focus on ensuring a solid foundation in which skill is built upon. It's about optimizing function to optimize performance.
Will this take over for my current programming?
It depends on the situation at hand. If the athlete presents with an injury in which continuing on with their current training is deemed dangerous then yes. If there is no risk at hand the athlete can continue with their current training and WODhabilitation will be provided as supplemental mandatory training. The athlete would be required to send in their weekly training and WODhabilitation would customize around their decided programming.

BALTIMORE, Md. (AP) ABN AMRO ONE continued its dominance of the Volvo Ocean Race by winning the fifth leg from Rio de Janeiro to Baltimore on Monday.
With skipper Mike Sanderson at the helm, the Dutch entry crossed the finish line off Baltimore Light to complete the 5,000-nautical mile journey from Brazil to the lone U.S. stopover port.
ABN AMRO posted a time of 15 days, 2 hours, 47 minutes, 52 seconds and finished 16.5 miles ahead of second-place Movistar.
"Once again, the boys have done a fantastic job," Sanderson said. "I am always happy, but today I am more than happy and I am very proud to be part of this team. It is a great day for us and I am looking forward to getting onto dry land here in America."
Pirates of the Caribbean was the only other Volvo 70 in the bay by the time the lead boat finished.
Pirates, an American entry sponsored by Walt Disney Company and skippered by Paul Cayard, was 5 miles past the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and sailing in 20-knot winds with 4-foot seas at mid-afternoon.
ABN AMRO ONE has won four of the five legs. Sanderson and his team from The Netherlands hold a commanding 22-point lead in the 31,250-nautical mile Volvo Ocean Race, which has nine legs and visits 10 countries.
The fifth leg started April 2 on Guanabara Bay off Rio de Janeiro with ABN AMRO ONE quickly falling into last place because of a headsail problem. Sanderson got the Volvo 70-footer nicknamed "Black Betty" moving and she began working her way through the fleet.
Movistar, the Spanish entry skippered by Bouwe Bekking, led the six-boat fleet to the scoring gate at Fernando da Noronha with ABN AMRO ONE closing fast. The Dutch boat took the lead away from Movistar 20 minutes after passing the waypoint and held it all the way to the finish.
There were some anxious moments for Sanderson and crew during the latter stages of the Chesapeake Bay portion of the leg. ABN AMRO ONE, which needed more than 16 hours to complete the 100-nautical mile stretch of the Chesapeake Bay, fell into a windless hole near Thomas Point Light and its boat speed dropped to zero.
Trimmer Robert Greenhalgh went up the mast to look for wind and ABN AMRO ONE drifted along for nearly four hours. Within a mile of the finish line, the Dutch boat was forced to drop anchor to avoid being swept backward by an ebb tide.

Changes atop AFC North, the top playoff division
Credit: The Associated Press
No Ray Lewis or Ed Reed steadying Baltimore's championship defense. James Harrison? Traded in his Steelers' black-and-gold for tiger stripes.
There's a lot of change at the top of the AFC North, which has unsurpassed success at sending teams to the playoffs — and winning championships — over the last five years. And there's an upstart contender this time around: a Cincinnati team that has the fewest changes in the league.
Looking for playoff favorites? The North is still the place to be, although the pecking order might be in need of a change.

They really need someone who can perform solid like Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel because they want to win factory and driver championship. I believe Massa will stay at Farrari in 2013 but his salary will be less than current paid. Probably, he can go to Sauber if another Mexican does not take the seat. I think Kamui will retain his seat at Sauber for 2013. 2 agree 0 disagree

What the hell is the "SharePoint Ninja Toolkit" you ask? It is going to be where I plan to release the countless small little utility apps/features that I've written over my SharePoint development experiences. Almost every project I've worked on I end up with small little apps or chunks of code that end up sitting around that I reference from time to time. I figured, I might as well polish these up a tad and release them out there for others to enjoy. Hopefully it will save someone the headache of having to do it themselves, or if anything, serve as a learning tool.
Check it out over at CodePlex. (Right now its unpublished, but by the end of the week i'll have at least 1 or 2 small utilities up there to start it out.)
Today I ran into a bit of an issue in a SharePoint server farm environment where I added a web part to a page, but for the life of me I couldn't delete it. I clicked the 'X' button, I tried to edit properties, I tried to delete from the edit pull down menu, but nada! I tried from the load balanced URL and from the Index Server but no dice. I did a quick google search and hit this helpful link,
Basically by adding "Contents=1" as a query string variable to any page, you'll go directly to the web part maintenance page for that page.
Ex. http://{site url}/pagewithproblemwebpart.aspx?contents=1 will take you to the maintenance page.
Update 7/7/2008
The url above will actually redirect you to the following url.
Ex. http://{site url}/_layouts/1033/spcontnt.aspx?&url=pagewithproblemwebpart.aspx
Between the two url's I provided you should be able to deal with problem web parts and get back to a working page with little downtime.

The Irish Franciscan College of St Anthony of Padua at Louvain was founded in 1606/7. The Spanish King, Philip III, responding to representations by the Franciscan friar Florence Conry (Flaithri O Maoil Chonaire), agreed to support the establishment of a College to train Irish Franciscan novices. He wrote to the commander of Spanish forces in the Low Countries with orders to provide 1000 ducados per annum to support such a College for Irish students of the Order in the university city of Louvain (Leuven). A Bull of foundation issued from the Pope, Paul V, and the first Irish novices were enrolled in the College in April 1607. On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the foundation of St Anthony's College a specialist conference was organized to highlight the importance of the Irish Franciscan manuscript collection now housed in University College Dublin as a precious monument of Ireland's cultural identity. This volume contains the proceedings of that conference.

Evatt attracting suitors
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Chesterfield's Ian Evatt has reportedly attracted interest from The Championship.Chesterfield manager Roy McFarland has stated the club will not stand in Ian Evatt's way, should they receive an acceptable offer for the midfielder.
The Spireites made the comments following reports that Championship sides Leicester City and Coventry City were showing interest in the 23-year-old.
McFarland confirmed that the club have already turned down both a verbal and a written bid from League One rivals Bristol City for the former Derby County trainee last week.
However, the Saltergate boss also confirmed to skysports.com that no formal contact had been received from either Leicester or Coventry for the Chesterfield captain.
Representatives from The Foxes were at Saltergate to watch Evatt in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to struggling Peterborough United while Sheffield United have also been mentioned as having an interest in the midfielder.
Despite the seemingly growing interest in Evatt, McFarland admitted they would not stop the midfielder from leaving the North Derbyshire side, should The Spireites receive the right valuation for the player.
"With football being football, we have told Ian that we will not stand in his way if any offer is big enough and he wants to go to that particular club," McFarland told the club's official website.
"I am hoping that they [Bristol City] don't come back or any other clubs make offers, because I would like Ian to stay and develop his football here and be the backbone of the team for years to come."

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Actor Russell Crowe has helped broker a deal to broadcast Australia's most fiercely contested rugby league series, the State of Origin, to the United States, the National Rugby League (NRL) said on Wednesday.
Oscar winner Crowe, who owns NRL club South Sydney Rabittohs, was instrumental in putting together a deal to show the three-match series between New South Wales and Queensland on Fox Sports, the league said.
The run-up to the State of Origin series, which starts in Brisbane on Wednesday, has consumed Australia's East Coast media for the last two weeks with blanket coverage in newspapers and television.
Rugby league is the most popular winter sport code in New South Wales and Queensland, although it has struggled to gain a foothold outside its Australian and English heartlands.
An extra State of Origin game was played in California in 1987 to try and sell the sport to Americans.
The NRL said the new broadcast deal would also see the NRL Grand Final broadcast in the U.S.
"This new United States agreement significantly adds to the mainstream exposure of two of our biggest events," NRL chief David Gallop told the league's website (www.nrl.com.au).
"It sees more than 40 million homes across the United States now able to experience live the passion and rivalry of the 2011... State of Origin Series and the... Premiership Grand Final."
Queensland have won every series since 2006 with the state's flag subsequently flying over Sydney Bridge as a result of a wager between local government heads.

Apply Your Danish to Real-World Contexts
Master your pronunciation of Æ, Ø, and Å! Enjoy walking out of class to a nearby café where you will be able to buy a cup of coffee and wienerbrød in Danish.
Did you know:
- Danish is a North Germanic language, closely related to Swedish and Norwegian, with around six million speakers
- The letters C, Q, W, X, and Z are not used in the spelling of indigenous Danish words
- There are officially 29 letters in the Danish alphabet since 1980, when the letter W was officially recognized
- There are nine vowels in Modern Standard Danish, but there are around 20 different vowel sounds
Enrich Your Experience
Explore Danish history, literature, film, art, and the current burning issues in Denmark – enriching your experience and developing your critical and analytical understanding of your own and Danish cultures. This will make way for interesting cross-cultural discussions with your Danish Homestay, Visiting Host, or friends.
Get Out of the Classroom on Field Studies
What better way to understand Danish culture than to experience it! Examples of field studies include:
- See a thought-provoking performance at Tivoli, Copenhagen's famous amusement park
- A historical tour of one of the many spectacular castles or cathedrals in the region
- A screening of the Danish movie 'A Royal Affair' followed by a visit to Christiansborg Palace
- Access significant historical sites to understand Denmark's role in WWII
- Attend a ballet or modern dance performance at the Royal Theater
- Engage with students at a Danish gymnasium (high school)
Every Monday, I play handball with my host mom and the team she coaches, and instruction is always in Danish. I generally fumble along and hope I'm not first in line for a new drill. The other day though, after a drill, my host mom said 'fem og fem.' I immediately knew that meant we were going to scrimmage because it translates to 'five and five'! I was already getting into position when my host mom came over and said, 'That means we are going to scrimmage.' I excitedly said, 'I know!' My host mom was so proud. By simply knowing the word for 'five' in Danish, I instantly felt more a part of the community."

Description: While most historians of the Vietnam War focus on the origins of U.S. involvement and the Americanization of the conflict, Lien-Hang T. Nguyen examines the international context in which North Vietnamese leaders pursued the war and American intervention ended. This riveting narrative takes the reader from the marshy swamps of the Mekong Delta to the bomb-saturated Red River Delta, from the corridors of power in Hanoi and Saigon to the Nixon White House, and from the peace negotiations in Paris to high-level meetings in Beijing and Moscow, all to reveal that peace never had a chance in Vietnam.Hanoi's Warrenders transparent the internal workings of America's most elusive enemy during the Cold War and shows that the war fought during the peace negotiations was bloodier and much more wide ranging than it had been previously. Using never-before-seen archival materials from the Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as materials from other archives around the world, Nguyen explores the politics of war-making and peace-making not only from the North Vietnamese perspective but also from that of South Vietnam, the Soviet Union, China, and the United States, presenting a uniquely international portrait.

Simple Things You Can Do To Improve Your Health
As part of our October program at Mitchell Brothers amusements we are looking to increase the awareness of healthy living
Mens health is very important, and having bad health can prove to be very discouraging. No doubt you want to do everything that you can to make sure that you improve and maintain good health. While no matter what you do, you probably will not improve your health overnight, there are a variety of things that can help to improve your health if you keep at it. The following are some very simple things that you can do on your own to start improving your health.
Start Moving
One very simple thing that you can start to do every day to improve your health is to get moving. Anything that gets you moving is a great way to improve your health. Start taking the stairs instead of elevators, park far away from the store so you get to walk a bit. We have seen an increase in activity from massage therapists in Hampshire recently which has also resulted in better circulation for customers for example they often recommend that you can even start to schedule time to play outside with your kids or your pet. Walking your dog every day is a great activity to start moving as well. Although you do not need to start exercising for an hour every day, just scheduling in 15-20 minutes of moving can help to drastically improve your health.
Avoid Fat
Cutting fats out of your diet can be a great way to improve your health as well. Start skipping the high fat fast food and choosing healthier foods such as fruits and vegetables. You should also watch out for dairy products as well, since they tend to be quite high in fat too. Start looking for foods that are fat free or low fat, and start eating them instead of their high fat competitors.
Stop Smoking
One thing that many people are doing that will lead them to an early grave is smoking. If you want your health to improve in drastic ways, then you need to stop smoking as soon as possible. While it may not be easy to quit, if you keep smoking it will probably kill you in the long run. Smoking can have a variety of bad effects on your health, including respiratory problems, heart problems, cancers, and more. If you are serious about improving your health, then you need to stop smoking now.
Get Rid of Stress
While it is definitely easy to say than it is to do it, getting rid of stress can help you improve your health in amazing ways. It is important that you start finding ways to reduce the stress in your life. Take up a hobby or start doing relaxation or yoga if you find it helps to melt the stress away. Start thinking more positively and take time out for yourself as well. Stress can cause all kinds of physical and emotional problems, so get rid of it and improve your wellbeing.
Start Flossing
Your teeth are very important as well, and have a lot to do with your total health. One thing that you can do to improve the health of your teeth is to start flossing every day. While brushing your teeth and using mouthwash is great, usually it is difficult to get to those germs and food that are between your teeth. If you start flossing your teeth will last longer and your mouth will be healthier as well, following on from that make an appointment online with your dentist today and if you cant do that then tell them they need to make it easier for you to get online by providing you with access to a dental web design or some means of ability to check in, your teeth should never be taken for granted.
Drink More Water
If you want to improve your health, one simple thing that you can do is to start drinking more water every day. No doubt you have always heard that you should drink at least eight glasses of water a day, and you should drink that much if not more. Drinking water helps to keep you hydrated and flushes out your system as well, which can promote health. Start taking water with you everywhere and you will start feeling better very quickly.
Cut Down on Salt
One thing that many people do not think about when they are considering their health is salt. While a bit of salt may not cause any harm, too much salt can cause a variety of problems within the body, including high blood pressure. Just cutting back on the amount of salt that you eat each day can help to improve your health now and in the long run.
Eat More Fruits and Vegetables
While you've probably heard your mother telling you all your life to eat more fruits and vegetables, it really can help to improve your health. Fruits and vegetables are filled with great vitamins and antioxidants that can help the way your body functions. They can even help you fight off infections and colds as well. Start eating more fruits and vegetables daily and you will see an improvement in your health.
Horse and Carriages – The Gypsy Way.
Gypsy Cob
This small draft horse traces its roots to the Romanys, who had no need for the larger drafts. For almost 100 years the Romany people, or Gypsies, have bred the cob to pull their traditional carts and "mobile homes" throughout the country lanes of Ireland and England. And although many of the "Travelers" – as the ones who move about the country are called – have changed to more modern conveyances, there are still those who cling to the traditional horse drawn carriages to travel.
Even though many people of the Romany heritage no longer travel, they continue to breed these colorful horses as a way of keeping tradition alive. As long ago the modern Gypsy's wealth is still, in a large part, measured by the size and quality of his horse herd.
Description and Conformation
The Gypsy Cob has no one specific color. The most common are pinto patterned, piebald, and skewbald. They are small, in that they traditionally stand 13 to 15.2 hands (52 to 60.8 in., or 132 to 154 cm.) at the shoulder. They are compact, yet sturdy and durable. Their stamina allows them to pull a loaded "living wagon", at a steady trot, all day long.
In order to be classified as a traditional Gypsy horse, they must have an abundance of hair and feathering. The feathering starts at the knee and grows all over the bottom half of the leg to the hoof.
The Gypsy Cob has been bred for a particular type for years, but can trace their ancestral roots back to Clydesdales, Shires, Friesians, and Irish Drafts as well a Connemara, Dales, and Fell ponies. This horse is typically known to be very sound and sane, a faithful companion, and to possess incredible versatility.
Gypsy Vanners are also quite popular where they can be found, as are Shire horses. These horses were all bred to pull and to drag rather than to ride, but this may not always have been the case. Percherons, for example, are thought to be the modern descendants of the destriers that carried knights to war during the Middle Ages.
A Gypsy Vanners horse has many advantages when you are thinking about riding. Their large size can make their movement particularly smooth, and their gentle and docile temperament make them a real winner when it comes to how well they handle new riders. Do remember that you might need to do some leg stretches if you are planning for a long session in the saddle; their increased girth is going to take some getting used to. If you are looking to ride your Gypsy horse , always make sure that you do a wither tracing before you purchase a saddle. Too many people end up with a saddle that pinches or is otherwise uncomfortable for both horse and rider otherwise.
When you are looking at riding Gypsy horse horses, you may be wondering what breeds are available. As mentioned above, as long as they have been trained to it, draft horses can make great riding horses
Because the Gypsy Horse lived and worked closely with the entire Gypsy family, their lifestyle could not tolerate animals that may endanger lives or property, therefore any ill-tempered horse was removed immediately. The result of culling for disposition has led to the Gypsy Horse being extremely gentle and one of the most docile horses in the world. Gypsy children are often found crawling over and around the Gypsy Vanners. In addition, with the nomadic nature of the Gypsy peoples, their horses had to be adaptable to varying climates, terrains and living conditions so it is extremely sound and easy to maintain.
Taking Care of Your Horses Hooves
Horse supplies are important items to have to care for your horse. One thing you need to remember with taking care of your horse is hoof care. When you are a horse owner you need to take care of horse's hooves daily.
It is extremely important to keep proper care of your horse's hooves. Consider your horse's hooves like you would your own toenails. When your nails grow you want to trim them, and the same holds true for your horse. However, breaking their hoof is a lot worse for a horse than it would be for you.
Horseshoes are also used to protect the hooves. They protect the hooves so there is less chance of a hoof cracking, breaking off, or being uneven. All of these issues can cause your horse to eventually go lame if left unattended.
Talk to your veterinarian and ask if they have any recommendations for you. They will know what your horse's hooves look like, and will be able to tell you the kind of horse supplies that are needed to take care of them. Horses are more necessary for certain types of horses.
For example, there are shoes that are made specifically for equestrian sports. Sports, such as racing or jumping, will require a lot of traction. A horseshoe gives the horse the best option for hoof health and traction.
A horse does have the option of going barefoot, however. This option is best for horses that don't have any special needs. They also should have healthy hooves that don't grow too long or have any signs of deformities.
The hooves have to be trimmed every 6 weeks, regardless of whether the horse has a horseshoe or not. Horse hooves also need to be cleaned daily. All rocks or debris needs to be taken out of the hoof to prevent injury.
It is important to have the right horse supplies for your animal. Hoof care should be a top priority. Preventing breakage in your horse's hooves is a good measure to have.

Public Lecture and Honorary doctorate: Baroness Sheila Hollins
Published: Thursday 14th April 2016
Message from Associate Vice-Chancellor John Ballard: On Wednesday of this week, the St Patrick's Campus hosted another in its series of public lectures, culminating in the award of an honorary doctorate to the presenter, The Baroness Sheila Hollins. Baroness Hollins is Emeritus Professor of the Psychiatry of Learning Disability at St George's (University of London).
She was President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists from 2005–2008, President of the British Medical Association (2012-2013) and currently President of the College of Occupational Therapists and Chair of the British Medical Associations Board of Science. In 2010 Sheila Hollins was created a Crossbench Life Peer in the House of Lords and in 2014 she was appointed by Pope Francis to the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors.
The presentation, stemming from her personal experiences and faith base as a lay Benedictine, demonstrated a lifelong commitment to the dignity of the human person and the common good. For more than four decades, Baroness Hollins has been a leading voice in research and advocacy of people suffering a lifetime of disadvantage as a result of developmental intellectual and learning disabilities. Developing a passion for the welfare of young people during her time as a medical practitioner at Westminster Children's Hospital, Baroness Hollins would use her position as Head of the Department of Psychiatry and Disability at St George's University of London to lead research focused on the physical and mental health of young people with intellectual disabilities.
Baroness Hollins pushed young people's welfare issues into the public narrative, publishing over 200 articles and becoming the successful founder and lead author of the Books Beyond Words series. First published in 1989, the series of 50 titles focuses on social, personal and health-related issues for people whose intellectual disabilities leave them unable to read normal print books.
Following an insightful and inspirational presentation, The Baronness was awarded the highest honour of Australian Catholic University, Doctor of the University (honoris causa) in recognition of her distinguished career in health care and a lifetime of caring and advocating for the dignity of all humans, particularly those people marginalised through abuse and disability.

Hi guys, not much time, so I'm going to be brief and bold: - this project has been lingering until a week or 2/3 ago, where a number of people found or created free time to finally get this thing rolling - I'm quite sure that there was an equal chance of Forrest getting shelved, such as Xang and the like. As is always the case with these little meritocracies, only those who come up with something tangible can be subject to evaluation, praise or critics. Simply providing feedback without tangible patches, other than showing your own level of expertise in that domain, will demotivate those who actually contribute. The only way of expressing your competence in this environment is through factual contributions that can be reviewed by the others - let's just leave the wordy touchy-feely motivational (?) or preaching (!) mails to me & David ;-) - this project will be of paramount visibility across XML Apache projects: we'll be redoing the look & feel and architecture of a fairly busy website - so we don't need to go for the latest & greatest in technology (XHTML+CSS2), but for a format that renders best in a wide variety of browsers - and hopefully if we provide a good first impression, we'll get access to browser stats that will prove this point. - This thing has been announced in December of last year (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-apache-general&m=100857962129228&w= 2), and Stefano has done some iterations of the proposed layout (http://www.apache.org/~stefano/forrest/), and there was plenty of time discussing and reaching a consensus then. I think reiterating that entire discussion is a waste of time, honestly. - There's politics involved, and others watching over our shoulders. If we like what we are doing right now, and do not want to go back to Anakia or Stylebook, or being squashed by Maven, we better move on, then. This is XP to-the-extreme, so there will always be the chance of a next iteration. But if we fail to provide a first release, there will be no foundation to grow this next iteration upon. </Steven>

The Korean Bird Information System (KBIS) through open and public participation
Eighth International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB2009): Bioinformatics
Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet) Eighth International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB2009)
The importance of biodiversity conservation has been increasing steadily due to its benefits to human beings. Recently, producing and managing biodiversity databases have become much easier because of the information technology (IT) advancement. This made the general public's participation in biodiversity conservation much more practical than ever. For example, an openfree web service can be devised for a wider spectrum of people to collaborate with each other for sharing biodiversity information. Bird migration is one such area of the collaboration. Korean migratory birds are usually traceable in the important routes of the East Asian-Australia Flyway (EAAF), and they play a key role as an environmental change indicator of the Earth. Therefore, the preservation of migratory birds requires an information system which involves a broader range of voluntary and interactive knowledge network to process bird information production, circulation, and dissemination.
The Korean Bird Information System (KBIS) aims to construct a cooperative partnership domestically and internationally through the acquisition, management, and sharing of Korean bird information involving both expert and non-expert groups. KBIS has six goals: data standard, system linkage, data diversity, utilization, bird knowledge network, and statistics. The key features of KBIS are to provide a simple search, gallery (photographs), and community to lead the participation of numerous non-experts, especially amateur bird watchers. The function of real-time observation data submission through the internet has been accomplished. It also provides bird banding database, statistics, and taxon network for experts. Especially, the statistics part provides the user with easy understanding of ecological trends of species based on the time and region.
KBIS is a tool for the conservation and management of bird diversity and ecosystem that encourages users to participate by providing the openfree data access and real-time data input web-interface. It will enhance bird knowledge networking activities locally, nationally, and internationally. In addition, it provides opportunities to enhance the public awareness for the preservation of bird diversity and species information in relevant localities through the database construction and networking activities. It can be found at
Korea is located in the midst of the eastern Asian and Australian migratory bird flight paths
Birds serve an important role as an indicator of the earth's environmental issues
As an exemplary case, the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN)
Currently, the development of a biodiversity information system which can be shared, accessible, and utilized by on-line is underway by various institutions globally
Recently, web environments, such as Web 2.0 which is defining characteristics with users' participation and data sharing, have emphasized to maximize the utility and accessibility of the vast number of bird observations made by recreational and professional bird watchers. There are some contributing factors to promote such web environment: the development of GPS and digital cameras, public awareness concerning sustainable society, public science, Flicker
Based on this background, as a device for Korean bird diversity preservation and management, we developed KBIS to access and share the bird sightings and locations with birding community made by experts and non-experts.
System development strategy
KBIS was built on primarily observational information and photos supplied by voluntarily participating expert groups and non-experts interested in Korean birds, as well as birds that have migration routes through Korea. The intended users include not only expert groups but also non-expert groups who are interested in birds. Its purpose lies in establishing partnerships not limited to domestic groups but to international groups to share relevant data for preserving birds. As shown in Figure

System architecture
As shown in Figure
Figure 2
KBIS system architecture
KBIS system architecture. All data sets configured by KBIS will be linked to NARIS, a Korean biodiversity information portal. All the NARIS data with that of KBIS data, through DiGIR protocol, will be linked to GBIF and other related information systems in Korea.
Data standard and protocol
The observational data in KBIS will be divided into species data and habitat data. For the species data, Darwin Core 2.0
Figure 3
Schematic diagram of the DiGIR protocol
Schematic diagram of the DiGIR protocol. KBIS uses XML-based DiGIR protocol with HTTP as the transport mechanism and is designed to retrieve information from independently operating and de-synchronized databases. The list of bird species which is currently installed as a bird classification system based on NARIS, and the list has not yet been publicly recognized. Therefore, after the mapping of the two lists, the new one will be connected to the meta DB of NARIS.
Results and discussion
User interface
The user interface of KBIS is mainly comprised of data search (e.g., integrated search and simple search in My Guide Book), search results, data input (in banding DB, gallery, and my page), input results, and statistics.
Search function can conduct an integrated search through simple input keywords for user convenience. The detailed search results are presented by species description, Google Map (API), gallery, banding data, and observational data. KBIS also has the following basic items to be entered: observer and species, location, administrative district, population number, gender, and photographs. Furthermore, a separate item relating to wetlands classification for the purposes of gathering information on waterbird habitats which cannot work without international partnerships is also included. This enables statistical analysis for the species habitation tendencies, based on the region and time (yearly or monthly) of population number and the type of wetlands (Figure
Figure 4
An exemplary input screen for observational information

Key features
By considering the internet usage patterns of Korean bird watchers, KBIS has emphasized the functions of 'Gallery' and 'My Guide Book'. In 'Gallery', various users' photographs being publicly accessible and questions regarding species description and photographing can be shared. In 'My Guide Book', the arranged list of bird classification based on the observations and photographs entered by a user is presented (Figure
Figure 5
Screenshot of 'My Guide Book' page

Since KBIS encourages the voluntary participation of recreational bird watchers, it is important to prevent incorrect data being integrated into the system. If there are any erroneous data from users, especially when it involves an uncertainty about the species name or pictures posted into the gallery, these data are to be corrected or revised using comments by user's review and are also to be corrected or modified by experts through Q&A mailing services (Figure
Figure 6
Data quality management
Data quality management. When there is any erroneous data input by users, they are corrected or revised using comments by other users and are also to be corrected or modified by experts through Q&A mailing services.
The banding DB input page has observational data entries, along with standard items of the bird banding type (Figure
Figure 7
An exemplary input screen of banding database
An exemplary input screen of banding database. The entry of banding DB consists of three sections (i.e., neck, wings, and legs - both left and right legs). The leg section consists of a combination of colors according to country and region and will be given a maximum of four boxes.
The statistical function can show bird population and colony changes based on the region and time, in keeping with user's intent. In addition, any information from a participant's regular monitoring on important habitats, such as bird fauna of a region and some threatening factors on birds' habitats, will be actively and widely referenced and utilized for strengthening international collaboration for bird protection, educational programs for enhancing public awareness, and promotional activities (Figure
Figure 8
An exemplary result screen of an statistical analysis
An exemplary result screen of an statistical analysis. The counting of searches by a user can show the size of the population on a monthly basis. The statistical function is accomplished to identify the variation and ecological tendencies of birds.
The future development of KBIS will include several new functions. First, the bird species identification program by its morphology will be developed to encourage easier participation of inexperienced users. Second, efforts will be made to increase the collection of various contents through the linkage with NARIS and GBIF. Third, KBIS will enforce the data error management function. Because the generation, publication, and utilization of the extensive bird knowledge network with many participation by the general public will be more required for data reliability. Finally, we plan to implement the mobile application interface so that researchers can easily and rapidly deposit and monitor data in real time for sampling locations, collections, and observations.
KBIS's goal is to maximize the utility and accessibility of the vast number of bird observations, based on the interaction between recreational and professional bird watchers. KBIS has adopted international guidelines, such as Darwin Core 2.0 and DiGIR protocol, for data standard and exchange protocol. For the data quality control, the entered data are accompanied by comments and go through the verification by expert's reviews. The ecological information of bird was generated from observational and habitat data. The statistical function based on the region and time is accomplished to identify the variation and ecological tendencies of birds. With these various functions, KBIS are expected to play a great role in the conservation and protection of birds, collaborative partnerships, and environmental governance to the biodiversity community.

While construction projects rarely progress in an ideal fashion, those in the
construction industry easily can define a perfect project. First, work always
begins on time. The contractor performs its work on schedule and within budget.
No unexpected or unforeseen events arise, so the contractor does not ask the
owner for additional money. The owner does not ask the contractor to perform
additional work, and the architect provided a perfect design. The contractor
completes the project on time and precisely according to plan. What's more, the
contractor makes its expected profit, and all parties walk away from the project
However, projects aren't always ideal. Weather conditions, changes in plans and
specifications, and unforeseen site conditions are just a few of the challenges
that can throw a project off course – and lead to claims.
What Is a Claim?
A claim is a request for additional compensation of either cost or time due
to a change in the terms of the contract. The party asserting a claim must show
entitlement and damages. For entitlement, the party must show it is entitled to
the additional time or money under the terms of the contract documents. To prove
damages, the party must show the amount in dollars or days that it was injured
as a result of the underlying claim. Fortunately, claims do not always result in
a lawsuit.
Claims can arise from a variety of situations. If site conditions are different
from those represented in the contract documents, or what could have been
reasonably expected from the information available, this change may affect a
project's schedule. What's more, any additions, deletions or revisions to the
work that are still within the original scope of the contract also may cause a
time impact. Time impacts may be represented by delays, disruptions,
acceleration, lost productivity, or a stoppage or suspension of work.
When these conditions arise, many owners begin to ask, "How did my project get
out of hand?" The answers are as numerous as the factors that can disrupt a
project's course. Projects can get unmanageable when an unrealistic contract
schedule is established, misunderstandings or miscommunications arise among
parties, one party has a rigid interpretation of the contract, the contractor is
losing money, an adversarial relationship exists between the parties, incomplete
or incorrect design documents are present, or when pride gets in the way. Above
all, when any party holds unrealistic expectations, the ground is ripe for
producing a wayward project.
Proactively Deal with Claims
When dealing with claims, it is important to take proactive measures. By
doing so, an organization will save both time and money. To save time in the
claims process, an organization must have continuous review of the schedule.
Knowledge of the day-to-day changes and events will help a firm identify
potential claims. Also, the firm will be able to identify the activities or
events that have caused a delay or acceleration. Identifying claims early will
help an organization collect and create the proper documentation to win the
claim. Early identification also allows timely and proper notice pursuant to the
contract requirements.
Saving time means saving money. To ensure money is saved in the claims process,
an organization must identify and document a claim in order to effectively
recover from, or defend against, the claim. Researching the claim and recreating
the documentation after the fact is costly. In addition, numerous factors
related to time can wreak havoc on a project's bottom line. These issues may
include overhead costs, equipment rental, price escalation, labor costs, lost
profit, lost productivity, impacts incurred by subcontractors and other third
parties, lost profits to businesses, and fines from governmental agencies.
To mitigate or minimize impacts on a project, identify ways the project can make
up for lost time and money. Often, rescheduling or re-sequencing of work will
help recover lost time.
Claims Avoidance
Claims avoidance begins with knowing your contract requirements. The contract
can help you avoid problems. Know your responsibilities, other parties'
responsibilities and the ramifications of any party's failure to fulfill its
responsibilities. Understanding the contract can allow you to prepare a strategy
to deal with problems before they actually arise. Identify the vague areas, and
develop a plan to deal with potential problems not addressed by the contract.
Such knowledge and understanding of the contract will help you address the
everyday problems that occur. Next, it is critical to follow the contract.
If problems or issues occur, document these as they arise. Ongoing documentation
has numerous benefits. First, it allows you to remain aware of continuing
problems in order to follow up on a regular basis. You will be able to identify
problems in the early stages before they have a significant impact on the
schedule and budget. Finally, you will be able to obtain (or provide)
authorization before performing any work outside the scope of the contract.
In addition to documentation, communication is key in avoiding claims. Effective
written communication must include both formal and informal methods.
Communication keeps all parties aware of the status of important activities and
Claims Mitigation Process
Typical components of a claims mitigation process include: contract
documents; project documentation; construction schedule; and maintenance and
updating. For mitigation of the issue or issues at hand to occur, the first step
is identifying there is an impact. The next step is identifying the underlying
cause of the impact. Finally, it is important to identify methods to minimize,
eliminate or correct the effect to the project.
Contract documents make note of general conditions, such as responsibilities for
notices, requirements for changes to the work, scheduling requirements, and
payment requirements. Other contract records might include plans and
specifications and ground or soils reports.
Proper documentation is necessary to show both entitlement and damages. Evidence
of entitlement may come in many forms. For instance, correspondence may document
that there was notice and when notice was provided. Daily reports may document
what work was performed on any given date. Meeting minutes document that the
parties knew of potential claim issues. Finally, testing results document
whether the work performed met the specifications.
Proper documentation is also important to showing damages. Examples include
daily reports that quantify who worked on what activities on any given day,
while payroll records may verify the number of hours any person was working on a
given day. In addition, an analysis of project documentation also can show:
causation, avoidability, mitigation and responsibility. If issues arise, it is
necessary to keep certain guidelines in mind. First, document problems and their
resolutions contemporaneously. Such documentation may include daily logs,
payroll records, job logs, geological data, correspondence, time-stamped
photographs and video. Keep records of problems encountered and methods used to
resolve the issues. Identify problems and request that the contractor or
supplier rectify the issue. Follow up on problems or issues. Next, set action
dates and deadlines. Finally, use correspondence effectively, intelligently and
respectfully. Remember, documentation should be maintained regardless of whether
you foresee a claim on the project.
Beyond documentation, the construction schedule is one crucial aspect of the
claims mitigation process. In fact, the construction schedule is perhaps the
most important tool for claims avoidance and mitigation. The schedule allows you
to identify time impacts before they occur. Regular updates and reviews allow
you to identify delays and impacts more quickly. What's more, knowledge of the
schedule allows you to identify relationships, which may allow a delay to affect
seemingly unrelated activities. The schedule is a useful tool for assisting in
identifying ways to mitigate the impacts. Further, the schedule allows you to
analyze cost impacts through the schedule of values.
Updating and maintenance of the project documents may be the most important
component for the mitigation of any claim. For this component to be successful,
an organization must commit to reviewing and updating its files on a daily or
weekly basis. Keep in mind that you will not be able to identify potential
claims or issues if you do not maintain and update all project records
Communicate, Document
In the end, mitigating claims relies on two items: communication and
documentation. Communication keeps all parties up to date on the status of
issues and problems arising on the project. Successful communication must be
timely, clear and effective. Likewise, complete and accurate documentation of
all aspects of the project is critical to mitigating claims. Contemporaneous
documentation is the key.

We have a new winner! RapidDraft was king of the hill in Week 7 for the first time in 2010. RD did it by running away with two position categories, including wide receiver. The top five also included Fantasy Football Café (2nd), CBS Sports (3rd), Fantasy Football Report (4th), Fantasy Football Jungle (5th, Tie), and Fantasy Football Nerd (5th, Tie).
Turnover in the experts' weekly rankings in 2010 has been unusually high. Already we are seeing that the trend among our experts is roughly 30% from Week 7 to Week 8. Taking a look at the early trends for QB shows that four of Week 7's aggregate top 12 quarterbacks are not showing up in the top 12 for Week 8 (Favre, Romo, Cutler, and Kolb).
Will the mighty Favre's consecutive game streak end at 315? We take closer look at the situation and how owners should play the Favre situation for the rest of the 2010 season here. The Tony Romo situation is more clear-cut. He will be out 6-8 weeks with a broken collar bone.
Since the QB position is so intriguing for Week 8, FFSpin.com will publish the Fantasy Football Crystal Ball aggregate QB rankings for Week 8 on Saturday and have a live chat Sunday starting at 11:30 AM ET through game time. The new faces that may appear as starters in the FantasyFootballCrystalBall.com rankings are David Gettis, Carson, Palmer, and Lee Evans, just to name a few. See the full Week 7 accuracy report here.

No Big Bash for Afridi, Ajmal and Umar Akmal says PCB in conference. The PCB has denied Umar Akmal, Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi permission to play this season's Big Bash League (BBL), the Australia Twenty20 league, to ensure the trio's participation in their domestic Twenty20 tournament ahead of the tour of India. Akmal had signed with Sydney Sixers and Ajmal with Adelaide Strikers for the season, while Afridi would have moved from Melbourne Renegades to Sydney Thunder.
The PCB had earlier issued the players No Objection Certificates to play in the BBL that begins on December 7. The PCB's national T20 championship is set to be played between December 2 and 10, and will be followed by a week-long conditioning camp before the team leaves for India on December 22.
Ajmal and Akmal, who signed with their respective BBL teams earlier this month, had not played in the league's inaugural edition. Afridi had moved to Thunder during the transfer window in July. In the last season, for Renegades, while he did not have much of an impact with the bat – he made 69 in four innings – he was their leading wicket-taker, with 10 scalps at 20.80 apiece.
Sydney Thunder will now move to find a replacement for Afridi. The franchise's general manager, John Dyson, said he was disappointed with this late development.
"Afridi is one of the most exciting and popular T20 players in the world. It is a pity that our Thunder supporters, many of whom follow Afridi closely, will miss out on seeing him first hand this season at our home ground."
Adelaide Strikers have also begun the hunt for Ajmal's replacement. "We've already started hunting for an international replacement and, let me assure you, there are some really exciting prospects out there.
" Jamie Cox, SACA's Director of Cricket, said. "Once we've finalised Ajmal's replacement, Striker fans will be the first to know."

We came to Menorca in the early '80's with our children to learn to sail. Merdeka was then a complete ruin - the farmhouse was roofless, open to the elements and the 'sitting room' was knee deep in nettles. The following year a British builder had started to renovate it and we bought into the project eventually acquiring the whole property in 1994. We were by this time retiring from our UK business and Merdeka became our 'job'. We spent most of our time out here refurbishing the Farmhouse and the Cottage, converting a laundry block into the Casetta, redesigning and working on the gardens and grounds. 20+ years on you can now enjoy the fruits of our labours. We still love it.

Loved the little cottage - relaxing by the pool watching the birds. Jenny and Andrew were so very welcoming helpful and discrete. The all important wifi for teenagers was good and peace for the parents, real sanctuary.
This was our sixth time staying at The Cottage.
The Cottage, the sparkling private pool, the tranquil surroundings and Andrew and Jenny all make it the perfect holiday.
We arrived to a warm welcome from Andrew and Jenny, who had the cottage looking spotless, provided a very comprehensive grocery pack and a bottle of wine on ice. So there was no need to do anything but relax.
There is easy access to Mahon for shopping, restaurants and wandering around the harbour.
It's only a five minute drive to the lovely beach at Es Grau...the perfect place for a sundowner at the beach bar.
For nights in we highly recommend booking Andrew and Jenny to cater for you. They are fantastic hosts and their Spanish Tapas meal is superb.
Can't wait until the next time!
We were met by Jenny and Andrew on our arrival, everything was perfect. The Cottage was spotless and the food items and wine chilling were a very nice touch. Jenny and Andrew are great ambassadors for the owner, they know the property and area very well and gave excellent advice.
We were looking forward to a restful fortnight and we certainly got that. Facilities at the Cottage and pool area were great. Nice shady areas and a super sunny pool and possibly the most comfortable holiday bed we have slept in!! The surrounding countryside was stunning with so much wildlife, it kept us entertained for hours.
Would we recommend this property, of course. Would we return, most definitely.
Michael and Bridget Maher
Our first visit to Menorca and first time booking a villa. Lots of emails between myself and the owner provided reassurance!
We just wanted a week of pure relaxation and downtime and got it. The villa is in a remote, peaceful location, yet still close to amenities by car.
The villa was lovely, clean and fully equipped. The couple who look after the villa live nearby and welcomed us with a chilled bottle of wine and some provisions. It was reassuring to know they were close by should we need them but they didn't intrude.
Kids were straight into the pool which was well kept and lots floats and toys
Spent most of week chilling by the pool but also visited beach at Es Grau and had a few trips to Mahon and enjoyed a boat trip around the port.
Hope to go back again in the future. A truly wonderful, tranquil location for a good rest.
We are 7 minutes drive to Es Grau beach
Mahon airport is 15 minutes.
Car hire is essential. We can help and advise with flight arrangements and car hire.
Mahon,the capital of Menorca, with its spectacular natural harbour fringed with bars and restaurants is 10 minutes drive away. There are excellent supermarkets here plus banks,shops, and all the amenities you would associate with a smart regional capital. There are many marinas along the harbour and it is possible to charter a yacht or motor cruiser for a day or longer. Tourist launches take passengers round the harbour (the 3rd largest natural harbour in the world) on informative cruises and you can finish off with a trip round the Xoriguer Gin factory and sample Menorca's distinctive tipple
Es Grau, a fishing village in a sheltered bay with a safe sandy beach and very shallow water is ideal for young children and is just a 7 minute drive away. Sailing dinghies, windsurfers and kayaks are available for hire and a small motor boat takes trips to the uninhabited Isle de Colom for a spell on 'Robinson Crusoe' beach.There are also bars, beachside restaurants and a small friendly supermarket
Further Details:
Jenny & Andrew are our concierge couple who look after the property and grounds on a day-to-day basis and are willing to babysit, cater and provide extra cleaning/laundry if required. They will also provide information and suzapport.
The countryside around our farmhouse is totally protected as a special ecological area and there are some lovely walks and lots of bird watching opportunities. In Spring the hedgerows (and our fields) are a mass of wild flowers. Menorca is one of Europe's last bastions of unspoilt countryside and nature and the area around our home is one of the most tranquil and beautiful parts of the island. Just a few minutes away is S'Albufera, a huge freshwater inland lake which has been designated as one of the primary bird sanctuaries for the migration of birds across Europe

No. 22 Kentucky Hosts South Carolina on Sunday
Sept. 18, 2010
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky caps off its home SEC kickoff weekend with South Carolina on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The match will air live on CWKYT (Lexington) and Fox Sports South. The Wildcats (6-5, 0-1) and Gamecocks both suffered SEC opening losses on Friday night.
Junior Ann Armes led the Wildcats with 16 kills in a loss to No. 3 Florida in the opening match of the SEC season. With the 16 hammers it sets a career-high for the junior from Grand Island, Neb. She also paced the squad with nine digs in the match - just narrowly missing her first career double-double.
South Carolina enters the matchup with the Wildcats holding a 2-8 overall record including a 3-1 loss to Tennessee to begin the SEC season. The Gamecocks are led by Juliette Thevenin with 3.40 kills per frame on .238 hitting. South Carolina's Hannah Lawing paces the defense with 5.33 digs per stanza.
Kentucky has owned the series in recent years winning the last six meetings between the squads. UK has also won 11 of the last 12 in the series as well and owns an all-time record of 24-17 over the Gamecocks.
In the final 2009 meeting between the teams, UK earned a 3-0 (25-13, 25-19, 25-12) victory behind the defensive prowess of Gretchen Giesler and the offensive production from Lauren Rapp. With the victory Kentucky achieved its 27th win of the season to up its win total for the fifth consecutive season under head coach Craig Skinner.
Kentucky turned in another complete team effort to earn the victory. Giesler rejected nine South Carolina attacks and Rapp led the offense with 11 kills on a match-high .611 hitting percentage.
Rapp scorched the Gamecocks with a match-high 11 kills on a sizzling .611 hitting percentage. She accounted for her kill total on just 18 attempts with no errors. Blaire Hiler chipped in with eight. Giesler led the front line defense with the nine blocks, but she also added seven kills to score a match-best 12.5 points on the night.

Published May 10, 2011
The President is once again hanging out with "Common," some lefty loon rapper who thinks he is a poet and writes about burning George W. Bush. The debate is over now. Obama is, in fact, an idiot.
By Peter Andrew
Leading the way Right with unique & fun Conservative American Views.
President Obama has picked socialist Carol Browner as a top adviser. He has picked communist Van Jones to be his green jobs czar. He's picked a man who wants to force sterilization of youths in America to control population as his Science czar. He's got a militant homosexual who has failed to report abuse of kids as his "Safe Schools czar!"
He has demonstrated years and years of terrible choices when it comes to picking his friends, writing in his own book about how he purposely sought out the Marxists and feminists to hang out with in college.
You would think now that he is President he might actually start making some wise choices. You would be wrong.
After hanging out with Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (known as "Common" for some bizarre reason) in October of 2010 in Chicago at a liberal loon convention, Obama thought it would be cool to have him over to hang at the White House. FOXy Blondes News notes what Common is famous for…
"some of his songs and poems feature violent imagery. In one poem, he called for the metaphorical burning of President George W. Bush — a "burning Bush." …Obama most likely met Common at Trinity United Church of Christ, a church that Obama attended for 20 years and Common grew up attending. …But Common [also] defended [Rev. Jeremiah] Wright. "He never really was against white people or another race," Common told Electronic Urban Report in 2008. "It was more against an establishment that was oppressing people. I think we all can see that this country has problems and a lot of it starts in the political system." [and from one of his "poems"] "…why they messing with Saddam? Burn a Bush cos' for peace he no push no button/Killing over oil and grease/no weapons of destruction."
Surely the consistent "Common" will come out with a new poem soon about Obama. Perhaps something like, "Why they messing with Muammar? Burn a Obama cos' for peace he no push no button/Killing over oil and grease/no reason for destruction."
The President is a fool to hang out with people who have written threatening lyrics about another former President. He is a hypocrite for telling Americans the debate must be civil, but hugging uncivil debaters like Common.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States is an idiot.

Roquefort Cream Dressing
READY IN: 5mins
Recipe by Oolala
From one of my cut up community cookbooks. Cut out and stuffed into a file and been there ever since with the best of intentions, but never to be seen again, until NOW!
Top Review by WonderMima
My husband says to give this 6 stars ;). I followed as detailed, except I threw in the whole garlic close because we love it!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3⁄4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons cream
- 1⁄2 garlic clove
- 1⁄4 onion, sliced
- 3 ounces Roquefort cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Put all ingredients into a blender in the order given.
- Blend for 30 seconds. Note: for thicker dressing, blend only half the cheese and mash the rest with a fork to add later.
- Keep refrigerated. Dressing solidifies as it chills but readily softens at room temperature.


text: No one knows precisely when and how cheese was first produced. Now thousands of different types of cheeses are made all around the world. Britain alone has come up with more than 700 styles of cheese, with more to come. Wine and cheese were made for each other. If you are a cheese and wine lover, drop in to Pushkin House for a couple of hours to discover the cheese traditions of different countries and how and why wine and cheese go so well together. We will match 6 wines with 6 delicious cheeses in 36 combinations, so that everyone can find their perfect match. And as usual, someone will go home with a prize in the mini-quiz.

Minecraft Diamond Ore Cube Bracelet
Minecraft players will understand the excitement when they coming across the much treasured diamond ore while mining in the game. Here's a diamond ore cube that doesn't exist on the computer screen as a bunch of pixels but a piece of jewelry in the form of a bracelet that gamers can actually wear!
This diamond ore cube bracelet made to look like one that's found in Minecraft handcrafted by Pandanimal is made from different types of glass. Utilizing different techniques, a combination of colored glass and silver foil were fused together at a high temperature to achieve the desired final effect. A rubber tube is then fitted through the diamond ore cube to create a bracelet which can then be worn.
A cool gaming-inspired piece of artwork and jewelry that can be worn by Minecraft fans of both sexes. The Minecraft diamond ore cube bracelet is selling for £25.00 on Etsy.
