Chandigarh, Sep 16 (IANS) The war of words between Amritsar MP Navjot Singh Sidhu and Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal got louder Monday with the cricketer-turned-politician daring Badal to accept responsibility for lack of development in the Sikh holy city.
Reacting to Badal's statement that Sidhu's outbursts over Amritsar's development was "an internal matter of BJP" as the concerned departments were with BJP ministers, Sidhu hit back Monday: "Our respected leaders who aspire for credits must also learn to gracefully own up discredits."
Sidhu, the Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Amritsar, who returned to his constituency after some eight months, has been open in his criticism of the Punjab government for neglecting Amritsar vis-a-vis development.
The Akali Dal and BJP have been running an alliance government in Punjab since 2007.
"Before describing the issue of development of Amritsar as an internal matter of the BJP, Sukhbir Singh Badal should have glanced at the historical facts.
"If Parkash Singh Badal heads the Amritsar Development Authority, if you personally rushed to Amritsar to inaugurate each Amritsar development project including the latest announcement of Rs.2,000 crore project wherein you ignored to involve me.
"If your name is put on the top of each foundation stone of the Amritsar development works - including accomplished and non-accomplished - then how come it is an internal matter of the BJP?" Sidhu asked Badal junior.
Sidhu, who is at loggerheads with Sukhbir Badal and Badal's brother-in-law Bikram Singh Majithia, has been vocal in his criticism of the alliance government. The BJP has chosen to remain quiet on his outbursts.
Reacting to Badal's statement that he (Sidhu) could come to him any time to discuss Amritsar's issues, Sidhu said: "My dear elder brother, I am grateful to you for inviting me through the media to discuss the issue of Amritsar and I am ready to come to you barefooted with all humility to discuss the projects of the holy city. But ironically, the need for special invitation has occurred because you tend to ignore me on each issue of Amritsar.
"May I know why I was not invited when you announced Rs.2,000 crore projects for the holy city last week? Ask your deputy commissioner why I am not invited to the monthly meetings of district planning committee?
"Why I am not allowed to deliver speech when you invite the PM to Amritsar on important occasions? Why there is breach of only my privilege every time when a foreign dignitary pays visit to Amritsar?
"By ignoring me you are ignoring the mandate of people of Amritsar and for that matter the Nagri of Sri Guru Ram Das. I am prepared to face all personal humiliations. But I will not tolerate a single thing against the Vatican and the Mecca of Sikhs," the three-time MP from Amritsar said.
Sidhu said he had no personal issues with anyone.
The BJP MP had last week sought a time-bound judicial probe into the transfer of funds of Rs.60 crore of the Amritsar Improvement Trust to other places.
He has been demanding completion of several projects in Amritsar including those related to solid waste management, a multiple sports complex, a city bus service, CCTV cameras and three new flyovers.

Range to direct David Bowie, Iggy Pop biopic
A biopic based around David Bowie and Iggy Pop's collaboration in 1970s West Berlin is to be directed by Gabriel Range.
Range's London-based Altered Image will co-produce Lust for Life with Berlin's Egoli Tossell Film. It will be set in 1976, exploring the friendship and creative collaboration of the charismatic musicians, who arguably produced their best work in the divided city.
For full production details
Range, whose previous credits include the documentary Little Matador and the Emmy-winning Death Of A President, will direct from a screenplay written by writer-musician Robin French, who recently co-wrote BBC3 sitcom Cuckoo, starring Andy Samberg.
The project received development funding from the UK's Creative England and Germany's FFA last year, and producers Range, Nina Schermer and Egoli Tossell Film's Jens Meurer will be using the EFM to discuss the project with distributors.
Readers' comments (1)
I hope this is authorised, otherwise it'll just turn into another Velvet Goldmine. Anyway, didn't Screen announce a BFI supported "Bowie in Berlin" doc a couple of years ago - with Grant Gee (who made the wonderful Joy Division and Radiohead docs) directing? And Wim Wenders part of the producing team?

Topic: Ascites
My sister is suffering really badly with ascites, she is having the fluid drained and this gives her some relief, yet it builds up again so quickly afterwards. They have suggested a shunt, but she is not keen on this idea. She has lost more weight and is so tried from the drugs and everything.
Has anybody got any positive suggestions on how to deal with this.
thanks Jane

Battersea Ironsides Rugby Club are going all-out for promotion to Surrey One, so says full back Raonull MacKinnon.
And they could not have got off to a better start thanks to a resounding 32-19 win over Old Emanuel last weekend.
After two seasons in Surrey Two and having brought in a wealth of experience, MacKinnon says the Ironsides should be gunning for promotion.
The 26-year-old said: "We have made some real progression from last year with some players joining us from higher up the league.
"And with the players that we have, frankly we should be going up. We have a stable coaching set up and throughout the side we have an abundance of talent.
"Mick [Walsh, coach] has been moulding a style of play that the players are starting to buy into and now that is moving forward and built upon for a second season."
MacKinnon is excited by the additions of James Newsome at number eight, ex-Gloucester academy player Rob Phillips at prop and centre Ash Harlett.
He said: "It was important that we strengthened our centre partnerships as that was one of the reasons we weren't promoted last year."
However, he saves most of his praise for winger Tyson Peters, who he described as "rapid".
He said: "He is incredibly fast. He should be training with the athletes for Rio 2016. But if you get him into space he will definitely clock up the points."

SMWC campus ministry makes a difference
November 18th, 2013 | SMWC
When new campus minister, Andrea Beyke, drove through the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods gates for the first time, she knew she was home. Beyke immediately recognized the feeling of calm surrounding the campus.
"This campus is a very spiritual and serene place to be," states Beyke. "Just like when choosing a college, there's a feeling one gets when she knows deep down that this is the place for her; that is the way I felt when I drove through the gates. The gates called me home."
Beyke chose The Woods because she believes in the mission and values of the College. Many times during her visits before accepting the position, there was a word that kept surfacing, and it attracted her: empower.
"Here at the Woods, the faculty and staff empower the women to be leaders, both in academics and service. In campus ministry, I hope to do the same. I want to empower students to be leaders in the Church and in service, because the best kind of leader is a servant leader," states Beyke. "The Church needs women to lead. We wouldn't have a Church if it weren't for the first women who witnessed Jesus' Resurrection and proclaimed it to the rest of the apostles. Women were meant to hold a prominent place in the Church and in society. I believe Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College does an incredible job of forming women to be those leaders."
After only a few short months at The Woods, she is making strides to build a strong campus ministry program that focuses on faith, community and social justice. Beyke strives to continue building the Catholic identity of SMWC. One specific goal of hers for this year is to begin a Sunday night liturgy for students on campus in the student chapel, Sacred Heart Chapel.
"We were founded in the Catholic tradition, so I hope to sustain roots while also reaching out to the diverse population of students," states Beyke. "I've found that the common ground is commitment to pursuing common good. The millennial generation doesn't mind getting their hands dirty and working to create a society rid of poverty and injustice."
Beyke started at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods on August 5, 2013. She previously taught 5th grade at St. Malachy School in Brownsburg, Ind., for 6 years. She received her undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and Theology from Marian University (then Marian College) in Indianapolis, Ind., in May 2007. Beyke began teaching right out of undergrad and earned her Masters in Education from Ball State University while teaching.
After four years of teaching, she felt called to pursue her theology degree further so she could work in a college/university setting. In 2011, she began a graduate degree in Theology at Notre Dame during the summers while still teaching. Beyke has completed the classes for this degree and will take her comprehensive exams this summer to graduate. While teaching 5th grade, she spent her free time coaching volleyball, planning and helping with her parish Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA), accompanying the parish youth chorale and running half marathons.
Now, as the campus minister at SMWC, she is in charge of all spiritual and prayer opportunities for students, faculty and staff. Doctrinally, she is the "pastor" of the school. Beyke also coordinates volunteer experiences for the students, faculty and staff. Despite having only been here for a short time, Beyke has already begun to improve and expand the program.
Recently, the Office of Campus Ministries formed a partnership with Catholic Charities, Ryves Youth Hall and Big Brother, Big Sister, which provides opportunities for SMWC students to mentor young girls. Beyke hopes to continue to build a relationship with Catholic Charities. Additionally, Beyke implemented a new alternative fall break trip this year, by arranging a trip to Nashville, Tenn., for students to serve at the Ronald McDonald House, Nashville Catholic Charities and Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. She also offers a weekly Bible Study and is in charge of RCIA, which is a yearlong program that meets weekly for anyone who wishes to become Catholic. She was also recently awarded a 2013-2014 Campus Ministry Grant from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis to cover the alternative fall break trip, National Catholic Collegiate Conference student registration and campus chapel renovations.
Beyke describes her goals for the campus ministry program as a balance between tradition and progress, much like the goals of the College as a whole.
"The tradition and stories within the walls of the campus buildings give Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College character," states Beyke. "I love how we draw from the rich history of The Woods but we don't dwell on it. We use it to propel us forward and continue looking for new and exciting opportunities for our students."

Midday Express of 2012-11-09
News from the European Commission's Midday Briefing
Nouvelles du rendez-vous de midi de la Commission européenne
European personalities urge EU leaders to back Erasmus
More than 100 European personalities from the worlds of education, art, literature, economics, philosophy and sport have signed an open letter to EU heads of state and government in support of the threatened Erasmus student exchange programme. The signatories come from every Member State of the EU and include the Spanish film director Pedro Almodovar, the president of FC Barcelona Sandro Rosell, Nobel Prize winner Professor Christopher Pissarides and several Olympic champions. They are responding to concerns that student places on the scheme, as well as grants, may have to be severely reduced due to wrangling over the 2012 and 2013 EU budgets. The programme already faces a €90 million shortfall this year and it is feared the situation will worsen in 2013. Over the past 25 years, Erasmus has enabled nearly three million young Europeans to study abroad. More recently, it has also supported job placements in companies abroad. A whole generation has learned what it means to live and work alongside people from another culture, and to develop the skills and versatility which are vital for the modern labour market.
EU Regional Policy Commissioner Johannes Hahn meets Prime Minister Fico and outlines future priorities for EU funds in Slovakia
Commissioner Johannes Hahn is in Bratislava today to meet Prime Minister Robert Fico and to participate in concrete discussions with the Council of Government on regional policy for the next EU spending round.

The visit comes at a critical phase in talks between Member States and the European Parliament on the EU's next 7-year budget and the Commission's proposals for future regional policy.
EU Trade Chief to visit Mexico and Peru to foster trade ties
On a visit to Latin America next week, EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht will travel to Mexico. The Commissioner will then head on to Peru to promote the swift ratification of the trade agreement signed by the EU, Peru and Colombia in June 2012.
Commissioner Andor: Investing for a job-rich recovery
"Europe's workforce is a, if not the, major source of growth, and we need to do all we can to ensure that it realises its potential." This is the key message that Laszlo Andor, Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion is delivering today at the University of Edinburgh. Andor underlines the potential of socio-economic governance at both, EU and national levels, more urgent today than it has ever been before. Andor is calling for a closer link between Member States' employment policies and EU funding meant to enhance ambitious and detailed National Job Plans. Last, Andor will underline the key role of the investment in people's skills, as there are sectors in Member States or regions where vacancies are unfilled due to a lack of qualified workers. The European Commission is actively fighting the austerity measures. "The European Social Fund is necessary as it has a key role to play in fighting youth unemployment, enhancing people's skills, adaptability and labour market reforms" Andor concludes. SPEECH AVAILABLE AT 15h00

Quality agricultural products: Chinese "Pinggu Da Tao" peach receives protected status in the EU
The name " 平谷大桃( (Pinggu Da Tao) " has been formally registered as a Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO) for a peach belonging to a species of Prunus grown in the hills and countryside of the Yanshan Mountains in the Pinggu region of the Beijing District. The name has been added to the more than 1000 names of agricultural products and foodstuffs (among them 11 non-EU products) protected as PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) or PDO. It is the ninth Chinese product name receiving the protected status. This protection takes places in the framework of the so-called "10+10 project", in which the EU and China committed themselves to mutually grant protection on each other's territories to 10 of each other's agricultural product names. The related registration procedures have nearly been completed, with one Chinese and three European denominations still to be registered. In addition, the EU and China are working on a mutually beneficial bilateral agreement on geographical indications and a fifth negotiation round was held in Brussels on 13 and 14 September 2012. Other Chinese denominations registered to date in addition to the Pinggu Da Tao, include the wild shellfish Yancheng Long Xia (PGI), the garlic Jinxiang Da Suan (PGI), the green tea Longjing cha (PDO), the fruit Guanxi Mi You (PDO), the apple Shaanxi ping guo (PDO), the yam Lixian Ma Shan Yao (PGI), the pastas Longkou Fen Si (PGI) and the vinegar Zhenjiang Xiang Cu (PGI). For more information on the European system for geographical indications, see: http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/quality/schemes/index_en.htm

Clockwise from the left: Triumph, Quest, and G-Luxe
In Round One of lightweight strollers we brought you two amazing contenders: the Maclaren Volo and the Uppababy G-Lite. This week, we're taking things up a notch and bringing you not two but three next level lightweights. We think you'll be impressed…
We're in a new weight class with these three contenders; the G-Luxe weighs in at 13.4 pounds. But with that new weight class come more features! In addition to the standard water and stain resistant, machine washable, removable seat pad, the hand level, finger folding triggers, the stand alone capabilities, and the extendable, SPF 50+ sunshade (it's a lot, but it gets better), the G-Luxe introduces reclining capabilities to the competition. This stroller reclines with one hand and features an adjustable footrest for when your child needs to nap on the go.
Slightly heavier at 6.2kg (13.6lbs), the Triumph's seat adjusts from upright to 123°. Like the Volo, it features a five-point, two-finger release harness, water resistant and SPF 50+ protected hood, standard, included rain cover, one hand fold, attached carry strap, one-step, foot-operated linked breaks, and washable fabrics.
Up until now, we've been featuring strollers for children 6 months to 55lbs; now we're throwing the Quest into the mix which has features for newborns as well. Weighing in at 6.4kg (14.1lbs), the Quest has all the same features as the Triumph but with some added goodies. It features a protective newborn cocoon for the extra little ones and a viewing window in the hood so you can keep an eye on them. It transitions between its four reclining positions at the touch of one hand. It includes an adjustable leg rest. And, for added safety, it has reflective accents for nighttime. It may weigh a little more, but we think it's worth it.
Which weight class do you prefer? Which stroller are you betting on? Let us know in the comments!
(If you are shopping for a stroller and have questions or you don't see the one you want online, please call us at 646 290 5508.)

Roundup: UF softball rallies past USF
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 12:00 a.m.
The No. 4 Gator softball team got a game-tying RBI single from freshman Kirsti Merritt, followed by a two-run homer from sophomore Lauren Haeger in the top of the sixth inning to defeat USF, 3-1, in Tampa on Wednesday.
Florida notched its seventh come-from-behind victory of the season to improve to 17-1 overall in 2013. Five different Gators connected for hits on the evening, but one each from freshman Kelsey Stewart, Merritt and Haeger made the difference in the game against the Bulls (6-9).
Facing a 1-0 deficit heading to the sixth following a Kenshyra Jackson solo homer in the fourth for USF, the Gators put together a game-winning two-out rally, starting with the top of the UF lineup and Stewart.
The Gators now return home for just the second time this season for a second home tournament of 2013. UF will host Drake, Mount St. Mary's, FAMU and Presbyterian in the three-day tournament March 1-3. The Gators will open the tournament Friday at 4 p.m. with Drake, followed by a 6:15 match-up with Mount St. Mary's.
Women's basketball: Florida plays host to Arkansas today in its final regular-season home game that is the only meeting this year between the Gators and Razorbacks. Tip-off from the O'Connell Center is set for 7 p.m.
The Gators and Razorbacks are currently tied for eighth in the overall Southeastern Conference standings sporting matching 5-9 records in league play with both teams playing one more game before the league's postseason tournament.
Florida plays at 14th-ranked South Carolina on Sunday in its last game prior to the SEC Tournament, while Arkansas ends its regular season at home against Ole Miss.

Lt John Colleton, B-25 310thBG, MTO/WWII
1943-44 — Italy
Lt John C Colleton was a commissioned Bombardier with the 310th Bomb Group, and Flew Combat Missions in both the 381st Bomb Squad and the 428th Bomb Squad. Combat Bombardier with the 381st BS and 428th Bomb Squad.
His 1st combat mission in the 381st was on 12 Jun 43:
A/C No. 42-32333 "Lorelei" (K) P Wightman, Henry B. "Hank", 1Lt CP Sampson, George D, 2Lt N None B Colleton, John C., 2Lt E None R Porter, Lloyd G., Jr., T/Sgt G Fox, Francis J., S/Sgt F None
As many bombardiers, he flew on several ships and crews, however most often flew with Capt Phillips in Jun and Jul 43

41-13085"Green Hornet"
42-53445"Lottie's Goose"

I can account for 15 missions in Jun (5) and Jul 43 (10). I did a cursory search of mission reports from Aug thru Nov 43 – Lt Colleton flew 6 in Aug; 9 in Sep, and 0 in Oct and Nov – for a total of 30 with the 381st BS.
According to the 27 Nov 43 entry in the 381st BS war diary, Lt Colleton was transferred to the 428thBS, 310th BG:
This was his ship (serial # 42-42492) and crew for the first few missions.
Hogan, Jack F., F/O, pilot
Edelman, Forrest J., F/O, pilot
Colleton, John C., 2Lt, bombardier
Kelly, Phillip J., S/Sgt, radio-gunner
Porch, Dean O., S/Sgt, engineer-gunner
Risteau, John E., S/Sgt, bombardier-gunner, radio-gunner
I can account for 12 combat missions with 428th BS: 4 in Jan 44, 4 in Feb, 4 in Mar - Looks like his last mission with the 428th was on 14 Mar 44.
According to this 12 May 44 entry in the 428th war diary, Lt Colleton went home.

A race fit that feels comfortable
Cycling shorts are wearable technology, and in the case of the Assos T.Lady_s5 Shorts, they're patented technology. The T.Lady_s5 Shorts are constructed from lightweight materials that are ergonomically engineered to specifically fit a woman's body. Featuring two patents, an ergonomic six-panel race cut, and a high-tech chamois insert, the T.Lady_s5 Shorts are a perfect marriage between comfort and race-ready technology.
Assos developed the T.Lady Shorts to be the pinnacle of women's fit in cycling apparel. Conducting a study of female physiology, Assos determined that there were three touch-points of a women's bib short that needed drastic improvement: the straps, chamois, and leg grippers. In true Assos fashion, two of the improvements were revolutionary enough to gain patents. The first patent obtained is for the leg grippers. Rather than have the grippers follow the entire circumference of the leg, Assos developed a sewing construction that allows a half-circumference gripper without losing any grip. The new gripper runs from the two o'clock to seven o'clock position. This enhances comfort and accentuates your form in the shorts.
Another patented feature of the s5 Shorts is the Adjustable Bib Closure System. The ABC Closure System is a specifically engineered strap design, tailored for the female body. It features a Y-panel design that goes smoothly over the breast bone, instead of over your chest. Coupling ergonomic shape with the ABC Closure System, the s5 Shorts allow a fully customizable bib length with an overall fit rivaling Seville Row.
The s5 Shorts are constructed from the Assos custom textile, Type.434. Engineered exclusively for cycling, the Type.434 fabric has a permanent antibacterial treatment and a high-density knit. Using this compact macrodimension fiber, the custom fabric controls elasticity/return stretch which promotes soft tissue compression. With the s5, compression and comfort work in hand-in-hand by utilizing the AEPD ergonomic six-panel race cut design. The AEPD design is pre-shaped for the female body, using an anatomically correct contour for a total freedom of movement and efficient dissipation of lactic buildup.
The final s5 Shorts touch-point advancement is the chamois. The T.Lady_s5 uses the legendary Assos custom elastic interface insert, high-density memory foam s5 chamois. With years of field analysis, Assos have refined the Lady s5 insert to the point of perfection. The female specific Lady s5 insert is 35% more breathable, and ergonomically designed for the female anatomy. Overall, Assos' incorporation of proprietary technology has created a chamois that's painstakingly designed to provide the best in anatomical fit and comfort.
The Assos T.Lady_s5 Shorts are available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Black Volkanga and White Panther.

Reviews & Community
Great bib!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I ordered this bib in preparation of a big climb in California. It fits snug and compact and I feel it really supports the body. The length could be a bit more generous, I am 6'1 and it seemed to pull on my shoulders which will make it hard during a 12hour bike ride. so I might just keep this for shorter rides. The chamois is great, I normally wear to Pearl Izumi PRO line and think this is equal or better.
Hi.. I ordered a white panther previously and it wasn't all white as the picture. It was white and black in the back. If I order the XL, does it come in all white? I'd like to order this as soon as possible for a present so answer is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Great bibs! Terrible closure system!
- Fit: True to size
My wife loves the fit of these bibs. But the closure system absolutely stinks. The hook is near impossible to get through the loop. And if pushed too firmly, the sharp tip of the hook goes right through the backing where the loop is. Once that happens, they never close properly again, and tend to pop open randomly. Disappointing design from a company known for quality!
We will be taking the 4 pairs my wife owns to a tailor to have a different closure system installed.
What's the inseam? Thanks!
So comfy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love these bibs. These are by far my favorite bibs. I wish I had never tried them because now they are the only things I want to wear and buy.

A pirated copy of Windows "Blue" has leaked, and from what I've seen in screenshots, it is awesome. What???!!! Right, I know everyone else is trash-talking the 20 screenshots that show nothing really and give us no solid indication on what we are looking at. Seriously folks, we have greater flexibility with the color schemes for our Start screen and new tile options. Great stuff, love it -- but let's get back to work.
For more detailed look into the little we actually know about Windows "Blue," you can read Woody Leonhard's "Windows 'Blue': We waited for this?" Personally, I don't know that anyone is really waiting for it. It's just the next tweak of Windows 8. What do people really want to see? A Start orb! Or more specifically, a choice to reenable a Start orb without having to install third-party Start menu applications.
[ Read InfoWorld's guide to migrating to Windows 7. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
From what I'm seeing, that isn't happening in "Blue," so we might as well focus on the one operating system that is ready and available to save us from the looming end of XP support: Windows 7!
I've been using Windows 8 on both an Acer touchscreen all-in-one PC and a Dell Alienware Aurora with a traditional nontouchscreen monitor. It's tough either way, though more difficult without the touchscreen because the OS was built for finger swipes. That means the traditional enterprise must either replace all its hardware with touchscreen devices and replace all personnel with 15-year-olds who are more comfortable with touch than mouse, or we can go with Windows 7, get 90 percent of the benefits of Windows 8 in terms of security enhancements and so forth over XP, and wait.
Wait for what? Well, not "Blue," apparently. Perhaps for more turnover in hardware and a workforce more comfortable with gesture-based computing as Baby Boomers retire and Gens X, Y, and Z take over the workforce with their mad finger skills.
Right about now is when some of my readers will begin furiously typing up comments about how 1) they are going to switch to Mac, 2) Linux is not dead, or 3) XP is still working and that they will die running XP, plus my column stinks. To those folks I say:
- Switch to Mac -- you can join the three other people using a Mac in the enterprise.
- You're right Linux is not dead; it lives and prospers as the base OS for appliances and such, although your career in enterprise IT might be dead.
- Mom, stop trashing my column; I switched you to Windows 7 years ago and you're doing fine.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These are lovely. Designers worked very intuitively with my requests. To my surprise, virtually no back-and-forth was needed with designer to get the changes I wanted made."
"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."
"I had a little problem deciding how to word this response card because we are inviting children, and the way the wording is on there originally, just did not match quite yet. I ended up emailing them if they can recommend different wording since we are inviting kids as well, not even 5 minutes they sent me a new proof with just what we wanted and exact wording that fits. They definitely make this ordering process easy :)"
"These are so cute! I love how they how he placing to accept or decline the invitation and also a place to mark their entree selection. These are cute and go with the invitation perfectly."
"Great quality, beautiful print. I really loved the invitations, response cards, and extra inserts that I ordered! As does my family!"

A POWERFUL 7.2-magnitude earthquake has rattled Mexico's capital and Pacific coast, shaking buildings, shattering windows and prompting people to rush into the street as power went out.
There were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries.
The US Geological Survey said the earthquake's epicentre was 36km northwest of Tecpan, near the Pacific resort of Acapulco in southwestern Guerrero state.
The quake, which it initially rated as a 7.5-magnitude, struck at a depth of 24km.
Mexico's National Seismology Service measured the quake at 7.0.
Tourists in Acapulco for Holy Week streamed out of hotels.
Buildings were also evacuated in Mexico City as helicopters buzzed overhead to check for damage.
The earthquake was also felt in the eastern state of Veracruz and the southern states of Oaxaca and Chiapas.
Angelica Lasso, a 30-year-old website designer, grabbed a jacket and ran out of the first floor of her three-storey apartment building in Mexico City.
"The furniture moved and my CDs fell from the disc storage tower. I got out quickly and even forgot my house keys," Lasso said.
Authorities were working to restore electricity in several city neighbourhoods.
"Fortunately, what we have are collapsed walls and no reports of deaths or injuries," federal civil protection director general Ricardo de la Cruz said.
Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said authorities were inspecting buildings but there were no reports of injuries.
In Acapulco, 105km south of Tecpan, holidaymakers fled hotels and jumped out of swimming pools. Rocks fell on Pacific highways.
"The swimming pool was moving. I was afraid for my kids, so I took them out and we left the hotel," said Ulises Yam Loye of central Hidalgo state.
"It scared us a lot to see the palm trees and lamp posts moving," he said.

The Mets' equipment manager will have to deal with two Feliciano uniforms Tuesday as outfielder Jesus will join Pedro on the roster. Jesus could see his first major league action against the visiting Padres, but it's doubtful he'll start.
Although I've seen no offiicial announcement, it's likely Omir Santos will be sent back down to open up a roster spot. Santos was called up for catching insurance while Henry Blanco was hurting, but it looks like Blanco is feeling better.
Feliciano is ultimately taking the roster spot of Gary Matthews Jr., who was released last week. At age 31, Feliciano isn't the oldest rookie on the team. That designation would go to Hisanori Takahashi, I believe.
Feliciano is sporting a .385 batting average in the International League. It's a shame he'll be resigned to pinch-hitting duty, but hopefully he can be as productive as Chris Carter has been and not like Matthews Jr. Otherwise, it'll be a waste of time when he could be in the minors getting more at-bats.

Honda Develops Three New Sport Hybrid Systems
Shane McGlaun
November 13, 2012 10:02 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
New Honda hybrid systems target three different vehicle types
Honda Motor Company has announced the development of a new Sports Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive system. The company has three different version of the Sport Hybrid system to accommodate different vehicle characteristics.
The new one-motor Sport Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive system is optimized for small-sized vehicles. Honda has a two-motor hybrid system called the Sport Hybrid Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive that is optimized for medium-sized vehicles. The third Sport Hybrid system is called the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD that features three motors. That last system is optimized for large vehicles and has been tipped for the new
Acura NSX
sports car.
The one-motor system uses a newly developed in-line four-cylinder 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle engine mated with a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. The hybrid system also uses a high-output lithium-ion battery and promises to improve efficiency by over 30% compared to conventional one-motor systems.
2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid
The two-motor system will be first used in the
2014 Honda Accord Plug-in vehicle
and uses a lockup clutch and lithium-ion battery pack. The system will offer three different profiles depending on the driving situation, including EV Drive for electric only use, Engine Drive for medium to high-speed cruising, and Hybrid Drive for urban driving conditions.
The three-motor system combines a V6 engine and a high-output three-motor electrical system providing acceleration performance equivalent to that of a V-8 engine. The big benefit with this system is that despite the V-8 performance, fuel efficiency is reportedly better than that of an in-line four-cylinder.
Acura NSX Concept
The system will be mated with a 3.5-liter V6 engine and a seven-speed DCT transmission with its own built-in motor. The system uses independent motors for the right and left rear wheels with positive torque applied to the outside wheel and negative torque applied to the inside wheel allowing for independent control of torque distribution. The system is designed to help improve cornering performance – this makes the NSX the perfect application for such technology.

Wrong Wright: Conservative Media Falsely Claim Biden Gave "Shout Out" To Jeremiah Wright
Blog ››› ››› OLIVER WILLIS
Vice President Joe Biden did not make a reference to Rev. Jeremiah Wright in his speech today at the NAACP's annual convention, despite breathless speculation from conservative media that he did. A spokesperson from the Obama campaign told Salon's Joan Walsh and The Washington Post's Greg Sargent that Biden "was referencing a different Reverend Wright ...an old friend from Delaware."
In his speech, Biden spoke about "the men and women who educated me when we'd sit over in Reverend Wright's church" about desegregation, presumably during his early political career in Delaware -- and not Illinois, where Jeremiah Wright is based.
Conservative media heard "Wright" and apparently assumed that "the" Jeremiah Wright was the only possible Rev. Wright that Biden could be speaking about. It wouldn't make any sense for Biden to make a reference to the controversial clergyman miles from his hometown - especially in the middle of election season - but several of the usual suspects went for it anyway. Major figures in conservative media have often obsessed over Rev. Wright, and pounce on the flimsiest evidence to bring it back up.
Among those who jumped the gun:
Fox Nation, who headlined their story "At NAACP Summit, Biden Reminisces About Sitting In REVEREND WRIGHT'S CHURCH" before quickly pulling it without an explanation (their usual technique).
The Drudge Report, who linked to the video on conservative blog Weasel Zippers. Weasel Zippers asked if Biden learned "how America's chickens came home to roost" from Wright.
Glenn Beck's news site, The Blaze, who wrote: "But Biden curiously started his speech by reminiscing about sitting in Reverend Jeremiah Wright's church."
Michelle Malkin asked if Biden had given a "shout out to ... Rev. Jeremiah Wright" and asked, "Who thought resurrecting the race-hustling reverend was a good idea?" She later updated her post to ask, "Is there a different Rev. Wright in Delaware that Biden's talking about? Maybe a #realreporter will ask." And then she blamed Biden for her own knee-jerk confusion noting, "Perhaps VP Biden should have made a greater effort to make a clear distinction with the infamous Rev. Wright, given how much he haunted his boss during the 2008 campaign season..."

Adnan Oktar: That force (The Turkish-Islamic Union) will not be against them, and actually means further enrichment for Russia. It means further enrichment for Armenia as well. It means new plants, facilities to be established in Armenia and Russia. It means selling Azerbaijan's petroleum and Turkey's petroleum and mines to Russia and Armenia. Also it means that they will have more opportunities. THEIR MARKETS WILL GROW, THEIR TRADE WILL DEVELOP AND THIS WILL REMOVE THE MILITARY RISKS.BECAUSE TURKEY HAS NO HOSTILITY TOWARD RUSSIA, BUT RATHER FRIENDSHIP. WE REGARD RUSSIA AS A FRIEND. WE REGARD IT AS A NOBLE COUNTRY. THINKING OF RUSSIA AS AN ENEMY IS THE LAST THING TURKEY WILL DO. IT HARBORS NO SUCH THOUGHTS. RUSSIA WILL THEREFORE BE DELIGHTED BY SUCH UNIFICATION. IT WILL BE IN ITS OWN FAVOR.It is important to reassure Russia. It is important not to offend or humiliate Russia. This is unsuitable. It is also ugly to push them into isolation. Some countries have a policy of isolating Russia. Pushing Russia into isolation will lead millions of innocent people living over there into isolation. This is not compatible with conscience. Russian people are noble. They are beautiful people. Why to lose them? Why are they mistreated? So it is significant to reassure them. We are a friend of Russia…

It's been a big year for Greek Life at Monmouth College. Thousands of dollars have been raised for charity, thousands of hours have been given in service, and hundreds of students have enjoyed academic success.
The pinnacle of each year is Greek Week, which recently concluded with the Annual Greek Life Awards. All seven Greek organizations came together, raised over $1,050 for Haiti earthquake relief, and organized a record-setting blood drive.
"Greek Week this year was a magnificent success!" says Haleigh Turner '12, Greek Week Chair and President of Pi Beta Phi. "Every chapter came together on multiple occasions to hang out, have a great time, possibly get slimmed, and show campus that no matter our letters we are a unified Greek System.
Through Penny Wars and a Car Bash, Greeks raised $1,054.13, which will go to Lights for Haiti through Citizen Effect. The money raised will help provide solar-powered lanterns to Haitians who are still recovering from the earthquake that devastated the country two years ago.
There were many events during Greek Week, from a Bop-It tournament, Slime-Time, karaoke, trivia, a scavenger hunt, and philanthropies; perhaps one of the most memorable was the All-Greek Candle Pass.
"It really meant a lot to see brothers and sisters from different organizations linked together representing not only our unity during Greek Week but our forever support of one another as we passed a significant item from each chapter as well as sang our songs," says Turner.
The Greek Week show allowed fraternity members to show off their values, pride, and humor as they put on four 1990s-themed acts. In addition to the shows put on by Greek organizations, the so-called Greek God and Goddess, along with their Demigod and Demigoddess counterparts, competed in talent, questions, and overall participation to win the titles.
The men of Sigma Phi Epsilon and the women of Pi Beta Phi won the Greek Show on Thursday night with their medley of references to 90s television shows and dance numbers. The men of Zeta Beta Tau, teamed up with a mix of women from each women's fraternity dubbed The Panhellenic Alliance, won the banner contents, which was also announced at the Greek Week show.
Greek Week ended on Friday with the Annual Greek Life Awards banquet. Greeks dressed to impress and to raise awareness for autism. Alpha Xi Delta women handed out blue ribbons for World Autism Awareness Day, which coincided with the awards program. Outside, Wallace Hall's famous copula was lit in a brilliant blue as part of the national "Light It up Blue" campaign for Autism Awareness Month. The Empire State Building in New York City, along with many other landmarks, were also awash in blue for the night.
The banquet, held in the specially-decorated cafeteria, brought together fraternity members from every organization to celebrate their successes and the success of their fellow brothers and sisters. The guest list not only included fraternity members, but faculty, advisors, deans, and President Mauri Ditzler.
The women of Alpha Xi Delta won Overall Greek Week for their fourth year running as well as many other chapter and individual awards.
"We have worked hard to better ourselves and to follow our National Fraternity motto, 'realize your potential,'" says Kim Dwyer '12, President of Alpha Xi Delta. "It was exciting to see all of our hard work pay off. Our chapter is more than grateful and proud of one another."
Although each of the awards are of high honor, the most prestigious award that can be earned at Monmouth College is the award for Outstanding Chapter Operations. This year, Pi Beta Phi earned this award.
Recipients of the 2011 Greek Life Awards were:
- Academic Excellence Award – Alpha Xi Delta
- Excellence in Campus Involvement and Leadership – Phi Delta Theta
- Outstanding Chapter Program – Xi Man, Alpha Xi Delta
- Award for Excellence in Community Service and Philanthropy – Phi Delta Theta
- Outstanding Advisor – Denise Turnbull, Pi Beta Phi
- Emerging Female Leader – Lydia Butler, Alpha Xi Delta
- Emerging Male Leader – Jeff Skalon, Alpha Tau Omega
- Outstanding Greek President – Leah Statler, Pi Beta Phi
- Greek Woman of the Year – Kristen Wyse, Alpha Xi Delta
- Greek Man of the Year (Cy Reagan Award) – John Cayton, Phi Delta Theta
- The Richard "Doc" Kieft Award – Rodney Clayton, Phi Delta Theta
- Outstanding Chapter Operations – Pi Beta Phi
- Greek Week Spirit Award – Alpha Xi Delta
- Greek God and Goddess – Andrew Farraher, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Ashley May, Alpha Xi Delta
- Greek Demi-God and Demi-Goddess – Alex Mackley, Zeta Beta Tau and Courtney Jonsson, Alpha Xi Delta
- Overall Greek Week Winners – Alpha Xi Delta
"Winning the Chapter Operations Award is a true honor", said Turner. "Leah, as President, and our executive board, worked hard to excel our chapter to one that adheres not only to a loving sisterhood but one with high standards for our sisters." μ

HOUSTON - A man was arrested Saturday afternoon, accused of attacking three women with a wooden stake near the World War II Memorial Plaza in the Houston Heights.
Kris Baker, 39, was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
"We saw the gentlemen behind the bushes," Mercedes Davis said. "He was just going off and hollering and screaming at us. We didn't know if he was talking to us or not. But we realized he was following us."
According to police, Baker had just threatened another woman with the wooden stake just moments before attacking Davis and her friend Jessica Vargas.
"I kept turning around to see if he was following us," Davis said. "Sure enough, he just took a run for me."
The women claimed that Baker chased them across Heights Boulevard, carrying a large wooden stake.
"He just came up right behind me and grabbed my shoulder," Davis said. "He had the stake to my stomach and started telling me, 'I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna stab you.'"
Luckily for Davis, Houston police said that the woman whom Baker threatened earlier had already called them. They showed up just in time.
"He realized the cops were coming," Davis said. "That's when he slowly turned around and took off running."
Baker didn't get very far before being arrested.
Baker is in the Harris County Jail with bonds totaling $80,000.

|Si-Tex Dual-Range Radars — July 2002
A pea-soup fog enveloped the coast on the morning of a tournament I fished last summer. But when we got the green light to go, my radar's display looked like an ant farm, with boats scurrying all over the screen as fishermen tried to rush out the inlet. It was an exercise in defensive piloting to say the least, and if I hadn't had an effective radar onboard, my boat and crew would have been at risk from one of those yahoos flying headlong into our path.
Si-Tex's latest T-1500 series of radars are aimed to help boaters in such situations who must deal with both short-range targets as well as long-range targets. To suit variations in available space, the T-1500 Series is offered with radomes from 25 inches to open arrays that measure more than six feet. The prices vary as well, from $9,395 for the system with the 25-inch radome (36-nautical-mile range) to $14,595 for the 61⁄2-foot open-array (64-nautical-mile range) setup.
The T-1500's 15-inch LCD color TFT screen can be split to display both long-range and short-range targets, and the targets light up in different colors depending on the intensity of the signal received. If there are a number of targets you'd like to keep an eye on, the push of a button can select up to ten for tracking via the Automatic Tracking Aid (ATA). While they are being tracked, you'll get constant updates as to the targets' speed, distance, course, and bearing to your vessel. In the event a target gets too close for comfort, a collision alarm will sound. The system is also able to supply information in 15 languages including German, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, Japanese, Swedish, and Italian. But if you're reading this, then English should work fine.

Hmm... I may pick this up come pay day, as Bright College are already included. The Blighter's can field a team quite happily with that. Shame there's only three colleges though.
Edit: Oh, it's only a tenner? Go on then. Anyone fancy a game tonight?

I'll be keeping an eye on this to see what it's like when it's fleshed out more but I'm leaving it in it's current state.
Prancing Peacocks (Rainbow College, me) vs Middenheim Mashers (Bright College, Drawlien)
Rainbow College: wood elf/halfling/human
Bright College: human/dwarf/norse
Arena: "Doom" by Cyanide
Doom is a bit of an oddball of a pitch, asymmetrical with wide corridors and open rooms with trench-like pits scattered about. Six chests and six teleporters.
My Peacocks were built with the passing game in mind, fielding 4 throwers - 2 human and 2 wood elf - to move the ball around quickly and freely within the dungeon. The rest of my lineup was 2 wardancers and 2 wood elf catchers, plus a bunch of halflings to fill out the ranks.
My plan going into this game was to field all the throwers in my starting six, rush the chests and hopefully seize the ball and score before drawlien had brought enough defence onto the field to stop me. My wardancers would remain in reserve until the ball had appeared, or the number of remaining chests had dwindled, my catchers would stay in the dugout until the all was in play and preferably in my hands. In the meantime I'd bring out halflings every turn for chest fodder and defence.
Drawlien's side was certainly bashier than mine. His norse allotment had been spent on beserkers an dhe was fielding several human blitzers and dwarf blockers. When I saw his line-up I knew I wasn't going to win in a fight, so I was completely dependent on the speed and agility of my players.
The match didn't exactly go according to plan.
I quickly reached several chests, but since opening a booby-trapped one results in an explosion and a turnover it as not a simple matter to search them all. Drawlien caught up quickly, knocking a couple of my elves out in the process and gaining a decent numbers advantage. This was partly my own fault for splitting my team up too much at the start.
To compound matters, drawlien soon found the ball in a chest deep in his half of the arena. From there he could easily form a loose cage and march towards my end zone while I was still trying to recover manpower. I would have to resort to some desperate measures to stop him.
After positioning several players nearby, I scooted a halfling into the middle of drawlien's cage to open up one of the remaining, and assuredly booby-trapped, chests. The resulting explosion stunned the halfling but KO'd two of drawlien's players. My turn was immediately over, but hopefully drawlien would not be able to gain too much ground before my next one.
I also started shifting my elves through the randomised teleporters to try and land behind darwlien's team and surround his cage, while my halflings hung back around my end zone fending off his catchers and blitzers who had come ahead of the cage.
Unfortunately for me drawlien's advance continued unabated, as I could not move enough of my guys into the path of his cage to break it. One of my wardancers badly hurt herself in a failed leap and one of my throwers was left exposed to a push into a nasty spiked pit, fortunately escaping serious injury.
Shortly after, drawlien had a clear path to victory. Game over for me on Turn 7.
Peacocks 0 - 1 Mashers
A surprisingly bloodless matchup, and the game clearly still has some issues. We were stuck on 2-minute turns for one, and I had a (failed) Leap move cancelled on me when my turn time ran out for another. Still, it was as lot of fun and I look forward to playing again. :)
I have been boshing around with dungeon ideas since I bought this game. Here are a couple:
This asymmetrical sewer-like level resulted from a desire to have a desire to make a map that involved navigating lots of pillars and grew from there.
This is an attempt to create a map which involves an island accessible only by leaping, teleporters, etc. It's a bit basic looking right now as I am still fiddling with the dimensions of the map.
(Apologies for typos etc. I'l proofread this properly in the morning.)

There are spaces to be leaped for agility teams, are there some things to be bashed up? (like thin walls)
Good write up Screwie!
I found Dungeonbowl (from now on DB) to be pretty good fun, a nice change of pace from BB. It turned out to be more tactical than I had feared and was a nice quick game for playing of an evening (I think the match lasted less than an hour).
My plan for the game was to start with 2 Dwarf Blockers, 2 Human Blitzers, a Human Thrower and a Norse Blitzer. Players would move around in pairs for mutual support - the 2 dwarfs would hang around guarding the end-zone whilst the 2 human blitzers would head one way and the thrower and norse blitzer the other. As new players were added to the dungeon they would either join one of the ball seeking groups or react to the situation as best they could due to their placement.
This worked out pretty well - as Screwie mentioned I fairly quickly found the ball with the Thower-Blitzer group who had subsequently been joined by a human catcher. The 2 blitzer group was able to quickly redeploy in support due to their good movement characteristic and I fairly steadily moved towards the endzone, bashing elves and halflings on the way.
Due to the lack of blood and not risking any passes with Elves around I only got 8 SPPs from the match. This may be the biggest downside to DB compared to BB - teams will be pretty slow to level so you won't get quite as much satisfaction from building a skilled team. Still, I'm hoping to get a couple more games under my belt over the weekend!

This looks interesting. I might pick it up at some point.
It seems like frenzy would be really good at getting players into places they don't want to be.
It's a shame about the slow leveling, but a highly skilled team might unbalance a lot of the dungeon configurations.Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

Looking forward to some more writeups, perhaps I'll be gettin it.CWalker00> SKYDANCER YOU UTTER BOLLOCKS
Screwie and I played another game of DB over the weekend. Another enjoyable match which lasted rather longer than the previous one. It seems the choice of Dungeon can have quite a big impact on how the game plays out.
This time we played on a rather large Dungeon which required quite a bit of use of the teleporters for tactical redeployment. Also there was a lot more bashing in this game compared to the last. Screwie got the ball first and was moving nicely towards the end-zone but I managed to get a load of players in the way and knock the ball out of the Wardancers hands.
I got the ball with one of my players but he only had one or two team mates in support. I got rather lucky with the random teleports which meant I was able to get a pretty good loose cage around him. Screwie's teleports didn't go so well and by the time I had got to the end-zone there was only a single halfling left on his team which couldn't do much to stop the TD.
Biggest lesson learnt in this match: Magic Sponge (which allows you to revive K.O.'d and BH'd players) only has a limited number of uses.
Thanks again for the game Screwie!
One thing that springs to mind is players who are ejected from the dungeon by a bad teleporter roll - this is called "lost in space" in the rules and they are out for the remainder of the match. Maybe I just clocked up a lot of those in our match?
Other things I want to try in my next game, to see if they've been taken from Jervis' rules: leaping over obstacles, and throwing the ball over obstacles...
I still haven't actually read the rules - what is special about the leaping and throwing over obstacles? Is it you have to pass a 2+ like doing stuff near a fiery pit?
Similar to that yes.
Precarious footing comes into play if you try and block, pass or catch/intercept while adjacent to a hazard, and on a roll of a 1 you fall in instead.
When a ball is thrown over an obstacle, a dice is rolled for each square of obstacle it flies over. On a 1, it hit the obstruction and scatters.
When jumping over an obstacle you fail on a 1 also. This one I'm particularly interested in - whether or not this means every player has what is a sort-of Leap skill (versus obstacles only, but better than an AG roll for most people) in the video game or not, I don't know yet.
Been a while since we talked about this but the first chunk of DLC has arrived for Dungeonbowl - a bundle adding the Grey team (Chaos/Human/Ogre) and the Jade team (Goblin/Orc/Troll). Price is £3.99.
Finally nice to see some variety, although shame it is at added cost. Should be interesting to see the first seriously bashy team enter the game, though (and chainsaws!).
Note also that Cyanide have swapped the Humans and Chaos in the Grey side - giving the team access to far more bash than the admittedly outdated rules intended. They did this earlier with one of the base teams to allow more Dwarf.
Oh and the Jade team isn't working right either - surprise!
Unless the Trolls tertiary selection doesn't have Loner, it might as well not be there - since Cyanide restricts you to two Loners on a team and the roster has no shortage of Troll positions!
If the Trolls are intended to have Loner (and therefore be pointless), it's still bugged as the Orc Troll doesn't count towards the limit, thus allowing three!
