GERARD Baden-Clay has been denied bail because of the "real risk of flight" – the chance he might flee – while awaiting a possible life sentence.
"Flight is a real possibility," Justice David Boddice said today, announcing his decision over a bail application heard in Brisbane's Supreme Court.
He said it was a concern that a person could be kept in custody for up to three years without having been convicted of committing an offence.
"Delay is obviously a matter of considerable importance," he said.
He said Baden-Clay had substantial ties to the community, including his business and his three daughters.
However, he said those factors must be balanced against the fact Baden-Clay was facing life in prison.
Earlier, the court heard that Baden-Clay's mistress had insisted he warn his wife on the night of April 19 that both women would be at the same real estate conference the following day.
It was that same night, police have alleged, that Allison was murdered.
In outlining the facts of the case, Justice Boddice said Baden-Clay reported his wife missing on the morning of April 20, 2012.
It is alleged Baden-Clay said he had gone to bed at 10pm the night before but had no idea whether she joined him because he is a heavy sleeper.
He allegedly told police he called them at 7.15am because Allison had been due to leave for a real estate conference that morning at 7am.
Justice Boddice said Peter Davis SC, for Baden-Clay, described the Crown case as "weak", saying there had been no cause of death ascertained from the post mortem, no evidence as to where she was killed, what date or time she was killed and no evidence to show he had left his home on the night she disappeared.
But Justice Boddice rejected that claim, saying the circumstantial case had many factors that "if accepted by a jury" would make for a strong argument.
He said those included:
- Baden-Clay was the last person to see his wife alive.
- He had injuries to his face that he claimed were from shaving, but a forensic analysis concluded to the contrary. The analysis showed the marks were scratches.
- He told police that he was a heavy sleeper and had no idea whether his wife had come to bed but forensic analysis from his mobile phone showed it had been unplugged from its charger at 8.45pm on April 19 and reconnected at 1.48am on April 20. Police also found evidence of a "face time" call between Baden-Clay and his father Nigel's number shortly after midnight.
- Allison's blood was found in the rear of Baden-Clay's car, consistent with "her body being moved by being placed in the rear of the car".
- Baden-Clay was suffering severe financial difficulties and was due a large insurance payout on his wife's death.
- He contacted the insurance company after a body was discovered but before it was identified as being his wife. Baden-Clay demanded an urgent copy of Allison's death certificate and then made an immediate claim on the policy.
- He had been having an affair with another woman and told police it was long over but evidence presented by police alleged it was ongoing and that Baden-Clay had planned to leave his wife for his mistress by July 1.
- Entries in Allison's journal on April 18 and 19 talked of the affair and a hand drawn map of Ms McHugh's home was allegedly done by Baden-Clay – proving, the crown alleged, that they had been speaking about his relationship with another woman.
"I do not accept the contention that the crown case is a weak case," Justice Boddice said.
He said despite having many links to the community, the risk of flight was too great.
Earlier, The Courier Mail reported that blood was found in the rear of Gerard and Allison Baden-Clays' family car that was confirmed to be hers, according to a police affidavit submitted to a Supreme Court bail application hearing this morning.
But Peter Davis SC, for Mr Baden-Clay, disputed this, saying it was a luminol test only and not her blood.
Mr Davis said the only injury suffered by Allison as revealed in the post mortem was a chipped tooth. He asked why there would be blood in the car if she had no injuries.
At this morning's bail application hearing for Mr Baden-Clay, it was also claimed police recovered a journal kept by his wife where she wrote about her husband's affair with Toni McHugh on April 18.
They say in their affidavit that this would have led to an argument between the two of them but Mr Davis said that was an assumption only.
Baden-Clay's counsel has not yet responded to these allegations.
The prosecutor Danny Boyle claimed the Crown did not need to provide evidence showing it was Allison's blood in the car at this stage of the proceedings.
The Crown relies on the facts as outlined in submissions, Mr Boyle argued.
He alleged the financial gain from Allison's death went to the motive for her murder.
He also alleged Mr Baden-Clay had a "deadline" of July 1 for when he intended to separate from his wife.
He claimed in Allison's journal there was a diagram of Ms McHugh's house, drawn by Mr Baden-Clay, as part of their counselling.
Mr Baden-Clay allegedly told police his affair with Ms McHugh had ended some time before Allison's disappearance, "when in fact the relationship was continuing when she went missing", the prosecutor argued.
He said Ms McHugh would give evidence at a trial.
The Crown said its case against Baden-Clay relied on several points:
- His relationship with his wife was unstable and "his intention for a future with Ms McHugh".
- He was in dire financial trouble and stood to benefit greatly from Allison's death.
- He had the opportunity, being the last person to see her alive.
- The deceased's blood was allegedly found in the boot of Gerard's car.
- Mr Baden-Clay told police the mark on his face came from shaving but a forensic examination concluded that was not the case, and that it was a scratch.
Mr Davis has asked for a non publication order until the court's ruling on the bail application was handed down.
The court broke for lunch and was due to continue the hearing from 1pm.
The police are objecting to Mr Baden-Clay getting bail because they say he could interfere with potential witnesses.
Mr Davis said his client should have bail so he can continue caring for his children.
He said Mr Baden-Clay had no valid passport at the moment.
Mr Davis said there has been no cause of death, no evidence putting him at Kholo Creek, no sightings of the car and no evidence of a time of death.
A large crowd has again turned out for accused wife killer Gerard Baden-Clay's second attempt at applying for bail.
Yesterday's hearing was shut down after just five minutes when a security threat was phoned in to the Supreme Court.
Mr Baden-Clay has been charged with murdering his wife Allison, 43, at their Brookfield home on April 20 and interfering with her corpse at Kholo Creek on the same night.
He has not appeared in court this morning, but his sister Olivia Walton has attended.
Mr Davis SC has indicated his client will seek to gain a suppression order.
Earlier, police with sniffer dogs conducted another security sweep of the courts complex after yesterday's lockdown.
Our Fly on the Wall in court revealed what really happened in there today though
So I arrived about 9.45am. Olivia and GBC's representation then arrived and we both stood outside the court. I stood two feet from Olivia and friend before going in. She was pretty non-descript and I can't form an opinion either way. I think she knew he did it, but wasn't involved. Danny Boyle and the rest of the DPP team showed up.
We shuffled inside and sat and waited while the cases before were dealt with (callover).
Basically, it went as follows.
SC argued his point first, rebutting the submissions made by the DPP.
Some of the facts:
1. The children WERE home at the time.
2. GBC lied to police about his affair being over.
3. T .McHugh made a statement saying it was still ongoing and he had until 1 July to leave Allsion.
4. ABC had a journal, and she had written in it in the days leading up to the murder. GBC had hand drawn a pic of McHugh's house in the journal.
5. ABC and GBC were undergoing counselling.
6. T. McHugh was also attending the SAME conference on Friday as ABC, T McHugh wanted GBC to tell this to Allison. It is alleged this is when an argument ensued.
7. No visible signs of trauma on the body (no cut off hands), besides a chipped tooth.
8. ABC had two life insurance policies, enquiries about the policy were made twice on or about 17th April. Once by ABC – she was aware of said policies. It is thought that they were struggling with the premiums and the call was made to roll them into one or to this effect.
9. GBC hired his lawyer on day 3 after being made aware he was a suspect.
10. ABC's Blood was found in the back of the 4wd.
11. On the day a body was discovered at Kholo Creek, GBC contacted Insurance company and initiated a claim. This was BEFORE she was formally identified.
12. DPP believes the car crash was stage to hide the scratches. GBC claims the scratches on his face was caused by shaving, however forensics say they are not consistent with shaving injuries, but of scratches.
The ones on his chest… wait for it, he claims came from a caterpillar.
Here's the nail in the coffin though peeps…………
Gerbil claimed he was a heavy sleeper and was asleep from 10pm to 7am the night she went missing. Lo and behold, Gerbil's mobile phone was removed from his phone charger at approximately 8.30pm. He phoned Nige at approx. 12.30am, it was a video call that lasted approx. 1.23 secs. GBC's phone was then reconnected to the phone charger at 2.30am.
But wait, there's more. Searches on his computer found, that in the couple of days prior to the murder, Gerbil had done an internet search on "acting incriminating". He also did another search, on "acting incriminating" just prior to phoning police on the morning he reported her missing. morning.
I am really pleased I went, to clear up some of the innuendo going around.
It is clear the motive is financial gain and the affair and new life planned with Toni. Toni has sold him out to save her own skin. I am just waiting for Nige to get arrested as an accessory now.
There was nothing mentioned that it was premeditated and meant to happen in July though, as if Toni had said this in her statement, it would have been submitted to court today and it was not.
They have no COD, it looks like suffocation. The judge wasn't taking any of the SC's sh!t either.
IMO, no way in hell will bail be granted. .

Knowing Game Freak, they would have found another way to do something totally out of the ordinary to surprise us. Despite the huge amounts of speculation about Gen VI and R/S/E remakes I'm sure that we're going to be getting another unexpected B/W2-esque announcement which no-one would be anticipating.
I dunno, maybe Ruby 2 and Sapphire 2 or something insane like that.
Was that really it? Will wondered. Was that what they were all doing, looking for someone less different? Was that what he was doing? Rachel was dynamic and thoughtful and focused and caring and different in more ways than he could count, but the whole point of Rachel, as far as Will was concerned, was that she wasn't him. There was a flaw in Katrina's logic, then. This thing about looking for someone less different ... It only really worked, he realised, if you were convinced that being you wasn't so bad in the first place.

Despite the two-year old property slump, buyers continue to struggle to find homes for less than $500,000 in the inner suburbs of many of Australia's largest cities.
That price threshold, which is more than nine times average yearly earnings, puts housing in the inner parts of Sydney, Melbourne, Darwin and Canberra all but out of reach, new research shows.
The country's continuing problem with affordability comes despite capital city house values falling 0.4 per cent this year on the back of a 4 per cent decline in 2011, according to RP Data.
The property analyst group has identified Waterloo as Sydney's ''most affordable'' inner suburb with a median house value of $631,830. Mascot, the tenth most affordable, is $754,718.
Melbourne, where prices fell 3.3 per cent over the year, has only one inner suburb with a median value below half a million dollars. This is the working-class but now gentrifying suburb of Maidstone, where a house is $475,318. Many once similar socio-economic areas in the city's north and west like Footscray, Coburg and Pascoe Vale South now have house prices of up to $583,989.
In Brisbane, the most affordable suburb is Rocklea at $306,761 but prices quickly escalate above $440,000 in areas such as Virginia, Stafford Heights and Mount Gravatt.
Darwin has no inner suburban area price below $500,000, while Canberra has only three. Clarendon Vale in Hobart was the nation's most affordable suburb with a median of $158,949.
RP Data has branded the performance of the national housing market as ''comparatively weak'' over 2012, and conditions were likely to remain ''flat'' in many – but not all – cities and regions next year.
''Property markets in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Darwin, where home values have corrected more than the other capital cities, may be the markets to watch for improving conditions,'' said RP data research analyst Cameron Kusher, noting signs of recovery were being seen in Perth and Darwin.
''On the other hand, markets such as in Melbourne where capital gains have had a strong run are more likely to see weaker conditions.''
The report also identified the Western Australian wheatbelt town of Moora as the best performing area in the country over the year, witnessing a 50 per cent growth in the median house value.
Meanwhile, the mining boom put rents in Port Hedland at a whopping $2300 per week.

Government Agencies Work to Improve Supply Chain Management
February 26, 2007
Contact: Viki Reath, (202) 501-1231
FORT BELVOIR – VA.The U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) have established a formal partnership designed to improve supply chain management for our armed forces.
Leaders from the three agencies recently signed an agreement establishing a customer support partnership among the three organizations that will result in improved support to the warfighter.
As global supply chain integration evolves, USTRANSCOM, DLA and GSA commit to provide best value supplies and services, in a timely manner.
The agreement establishes an Executive Steering Committee (ESC) to oversee initiatives that assure each organization's performance aligns with mutually shared expectations. The ESC will be made up of executives from all three organizations that will establish and direct joint working groups, to ensure the goals and objectives for the overall initiatives are followed.
"This agreement provides us with an excellent opportunity to better align supply chain management," said Air Force Gen. Norton A. Schwartz, USTRANSCOM Commander, "and solidify interagency partnerships in support of the warfighter."
The partnership establishes methods for each agency to combine performance measurements collaborate across organizational boundaries and, most importantly, achieve the operational effect of adopting shared efficiencies in delivering goods and services to the warfighter.
"The cooperative agreement extends our commitment to achieve supply chain excellence with our national partners," said Army Lt. Gen. Robert T. Dail, Director, DLA. "This guides us – as partners – to further improve operations, information sharing and integrated supply chain planning."
The agreement, which outlines specific responsibilities for each agency, identifies the partnership's goals as improving operations, information sharing and integrated supply chain operations planning; adopting shared processes to gain efficiencies in the delivery of goods and services to the warfighter; determining information technology requirements to enhance warfighter support capabilities and implementing solutions approved by the ESC; developing shared customer relationship activities and initiatives; sharing supply chain, distribution business intelligence and current events information, related to ongoing or potential initiatives and innovations and collaborating across boundaries of the organizations and seeking partnering opportunities whenever the opportunity arises.
"This arrangement demonstrates how Department of Defense's (DoD's) strong partnership with GSA is ensuring taxpayer savings through best value strategies," said GSA's Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Commissioner Jim Williams. "It is another great example of how the FAS is partnering with DoD to optimize supply solutions for the warfighter."
USTRANSCOM, at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois is responsible for creating and implementing world-class global deployment and distribution solutions in support of president, secretary of defense, and combatant commander-assigned missions. The command provides air, land and sea transportation for DoD, both in time of peace and time of war.
The Defense Logistics Agency is DoD's largest logistics combat support agency. DLA provides supply support and technical and logistics services to the U.S. military services and several federal civilian agencies. Headquartered at Fort Belvoir, the agency is the one source for nearly every consumable item, whether for combat readiness, emergency preparedness or day-to-day operations, inside DoD.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and eGov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

Mike Pouncey served subpoena in Hernandez case
Published: Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 28, 2013 at 12:29 a.m.
Former Florida offensive lineman Mike Pouncey of the Miami Dolphins was approached by Massachusetts State Police and given a grand jury subpoena related to the investigation into Aaron Hernandez and the former tight end's potential involvement in gun trafficking, Sports Illustraded reported Sunday. Pouncey played in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.
How much Pouncey, a close friend and a college teammate of Hernandez's at Florida, is involved remains to be seen. Pouncey has not been charged with a crime.
Police view him as a witness who could help in the investigation, Sports Illustrated reported.
"Organizationally, we do not have a comment," Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene told Sports Illustrated. "And Mike Pouncey does not have a comment."
According to the report, two state police members went up to Pouncey in the hallway between the Dolphins locker room and the team bus and handed him the subpoena.
"It's about a grand jury investigation," one official could be heard telling Pouncey, Sports Illustrated reported. The same police official later said, "Make sure you arrive."
Mike and his twin brother, Maurkice of the Pittsburgh Steelers, were photographed during the offseason wearing hats that read "Free Hernandez."
While Maurkice, an All-Pro center who suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 1, apologized for wearing the hat, Mike elected not to discuss the matter in July.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
Henrik Stenson captured the 2016 Open Championship with a final round of 63 to win by three.
Stenson began the final round with a one shot lead over his closest pursuant. Stenson attacked the wind blown Scottish links and made ten birdies in the final round. His final score of 20 under par is an Open Championship record.
This is Henrik's first major championship and the first Swedish born male major champion. Stenson's four day total of 264 total is also the lowest total by a major winner in history.
"I just hit my spots and hit my shots and just stayed in the moment... " said Stenson post round.

The FootJoy team in Europe just concluded a great promotion called MyJoys May that culminated in a group of 8 FJ players wearing MyJoys shoes that were hand picked by website visitors.
We caught up with Richard Fryer, our FJ European Marketing Manager to tell us a little about how MyJoys May came about ...
"Everyone loves to know what shoes the Tour guys are wearing, and we thought why not let the consumer choose! Really, its the only piece of equipment that we can throw open to the everyday club golfer to choose on behalf of the player.
The BMW PGA at Wentworth is the flagship event on the European Tour so we felt that this would be the perfect event to showcase the shoes. The fact that both MyJoys and May start with the same letter was just a coincidence....! So we spoke to all the key players and got them to design 3 pairs of shoes through our website www.myjoys.co.uk and to let us have the designs.
The idea initially began inviting news subscribers to design a pair from scratch for Titleist and FJ Staffer Kenneth Ferrie. Kenny went through the hundreds of entries and selected a pair of white sheild tip FJ ICON MyJoys with a lime patent saddle and a pink patent accent - they looked superb! Here's a photo of him wearing them with the winning designer Chris Pyle, a 4 handicapper from Hull.
We then put up the website www.myjoysmay.co.uk which featured eight prominent European FJ players and consumer got to vote on one of the 3 designs on the players' shortlist. A live leaderboard would then generate to show which design was in the lead. This was then backed up by some banner advertising on the major websites in the UK to allow even more golfers to get involved.
MyJoys has had a great start to the year, with the addition of 4 FJ ICON styles to the MyJoys programme golfers across Europe are ordering some great designs and really taking advantage of the seemingly endless number of customisation options."
Tour pros the world over are embracing the fashion, fun that MyJoys has to offer. Build yours today by visiting your local golf retailer or by visiting MyJoys.com.
The FJ team is back on the road next week at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro Am. For the last several years, we have been on-site for our annual FJ Performance Outerwear drop. More than virtually any other venue on the PGA Tour, Pebble Beach tests FJ's motto of "Make Every Day Playable". Considered one of the most beautiful places on the planet, the Monterey Peninsula is also know for its extremely unpredictable early season weather. Chances are good that the players picking up the latest FJ outerwear before the event will likely have the chance to use it the very same week.
As usual, we will be talking to players and capturing snapshots from inside the ropes, so stayed tuned next week on the FJ Blog for the latest from FJ Outerwear Week.
In the meantime, don't forget about FJ Outerwear as essential performance equipment for your own game. Whether wet, wind, cool or warm, FJ has you covered. Check out the latest in FJ Performance Outerwear for men and women.
-- Thanks to European Tour reps Jonathan Loosemore and Guy Smith for this latest update!
The Desert Swing is under way, with the first stop in sunny Abu Dhabi.
5 of the Worlds Top 10 players are in action this week in a stellar field, including FootJoy loyalists Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood, SBS Championship winner Geoff Ogilvy and the colourful Swede, Henrik Stenson who has just agreed a multi-year deal to wear FootJoy shoes again. All 4 players will be gracing the fairways in the new FootJoy ICON shoe.
Camillo Villegas and Ian Poulter have also flown over from the US, as they look to grab some early points in the 2010 Race to Dubai.
The new FJ Sport is also catching a few players eyes. Pablo Larrazabal and Peter Lawrie were both wearing the shoe in practice this week. With it's colourful and athletic styling, it is sure to be a hit with the players on Tour.
We welcome a new line-up for 2010 to our FJ collar programme, some of the latest additions include last season Rookie-of-the year, Chris Wood, Robert Rock and Irishman Peter Lawrie. Steve Webster and Ricardo Gonzalez continue with the FJ collar for another season.
Players are placing shoe orders at a rapid pace with the FootJoy tour reps, and there are certainly going to be some funky looking shoes gracing the Tournaments across Europe this season thanks to the fantastic MyJoys offering from FootJoy.
Despite all the rain last week in Atlanta, the grounds staff at East Lake was able to, not only make the course playable, but difficult! While the course was soft from tee to green, the greens were firm and prevented players from really attacking the pins resulting in only eight players breaking par in round one. After the players got through the first nine, the grounds crew was actually watering the greens which almost seems comical considering the deluge the course suffered last weekend. Although more rain is in the forecast for Friday, expect the greens to remain fast and firm for the second round, although you can also expect the players to make some adjustments and find some birdies out on the course.
We're seeing a lot of players wearing SYNR-G this week at East Lake as they look for the most stable platform to combat the soggy conditions. SYNR-G wearers Zach Johnson (StaSof glove) and Steve Stricker (PureTouch Limited glove), who both wore style #53870 in round one and can win the FedEx Cup by winning THE TOUR Championship, sit at even par after round one, just four shots back. Padraig Harrington (SYNR-G style #53918, PureTouch Limited glove) continues to play well and sits just one shot off the lead following a first round 3-under 67. Harrington has finished in the top 10 in each of his last five starts, including two runner-up placements.
Marc Leishman (SYNR-G style #53883) is playing in his first TOUR Championship and is in great position following a first round even par 70.
The story from East Lake so far this week has been rain but it appears the course has rebounded nicely so we can begin to focus on the incredible drama that could unfold Sunday afternoon. While there still may be some debate and confusion about the format of the FedEx Cup, the players seem to be very supportive of the change that allows for any player in the top five in FedEx Cup points to win the cup by winning the TOUR Championship this week. Three of the five players who control their own destiny, and could be putting for $10 million come Sunday evening - Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson and Heath Slocum - wear FootJoy's SYNR-G golf shoes.Lorne Rubenstein of the Globe & Mail debates the "greatness" of East Lake Golf Club as a championship course, considering the unusual par-3 closing hole.Tim Rosaforte tells a great story of perseverance about local Massachusetts golfer, Fran Quinn, who birdied his final hole last week to win the Nationwide Tour's Albertson's Boise Open. The 44-year-old, who wears the new SYNR-G style #53918, all but assured himself of a PGA Tour card for next season, his first since 1992.Let's see what some of our colleagues are up to:
TITLEIST - Check out this cool Ball Mark Trivia Game on the Titleist blog and find out some things you may not know about the players who will be teeing up a Titleist today at THE TOUR Championship.CAMERON - You never know what Tour player or VIP you might see when you peak inside the Scotty Cameron putter studio. The latest look unveiled a 9-time world surfing champion who stopped by for some help with his putter.COBRA - In the latest edition of "Face Off with Feherty," Gary asks David Feherty, considering his new citizenship in the United States, would he ever consider a role as assistant captain on the U.S. Ryder Cup team?
Here's a great breakdown from PGATOUR.com of each player in the top 30 and what each must do to win the FedEx Cup. More than half the field will be wearing FJ shoes, so which FOOTJOY player has the best chance of bringing home the hardware and the $10 million prize? Is it Stricker, Zach or Heath who can win the Cup by winning THE TOUR Championship or is it someone from further back in the rankings?

We recently asked you what questions you would like us to ask the Tour players at the Deutsche Bank Championship and got some great responses. Mondo wanted to know how they maintain their concentration throughout the round, drewb6108 wanted to know how often they change their gloves and golfchick, memphisunited and fairwaytoheaven had some questions about style. Well, we asked and they answered! Click on the image below to see their responses. What other questions do you have for the players?
Following a disappointing finish at The Barclays where he missed a putt on the 18th hole to force a playoff, Steve Stricker (SYNR-G, PureTouch Limited) rebounded in a huge way Monday at the Deutsche Bank Championship. With fellow FootJoy players Jason Dufner (FJ ICON) and Scott Verplank (ReelFit) waiting on the tee for a possible playoff, Stricker drained a 15-footer for birdie on the 17th hole then slammed the door with a clutch up-and-down for birdie from just off the 18th green to win by one. The victory was Stricker's third of the season, moved him up to a career-high No. 2 in the Official World Golf Ranking and gave him sole possession of the lead in the FedExCup standings heading to Chicago for the third of four playoff events.

Another stunning day at the TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts as the top 100 players in the world made final preparations for the Deutsche Bank Championship. Once again we were collecting feedback on the new FJ ICON line and working with the players to design some custom shoes through the MyJoys program. We shot some video wth the players talking about the custom process and options that we'll share in the next few weeks. In the meantime, click on the image below to see some highlights from Thursday.

We were on the range Tuesday at the PGA Tour's second playoff event, the Deutsche Bank Championship. We were not only checking in with our FootJoy players but also set up a large display to show them the full line of FJ ICON styles and all the options available through the MyJoys program. In short, the players were thrilled! Check out the pictures from Wednesday and we'll post video next week so you can hear what players such as David Toms, Charley Hoffman, John Merrick and Jason Bohn think of FootJoy's new flagship product and all the custom options!
One week after Heath Slocum (SYNR-G style #53925, StaSof glove) wondered if he would even make it to the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup, he finished off a compelling afternoon at Liberty National by making a 20-foot par putt on the 18th hole to win The Barclays by one shot. "That putt was magical," Slocum said. "I'll remember that the rest of my life."Slocum was tied for the lead with fellow SYNR-G loyalist Steve Stricker (SYNR-G style #53883, PureTouch Limited glove) going to the final hole. Both hit into fairway bunkers off the tee and neither could reach the green. With several of the world's top players waiting in the wings for a playoff should neither make par, Slocum raised both arms in the air when his par putt broke gently back to the left and disappeared into the cup.Stricker had a 10-foot par putt to force a playoff with Slocum but cringed when it caught the left lip. He closed with a 69 and finished in a four-way tie for second.Slocum qualified for these Playoffs with two points to spare -- he was No. 124 out of 125 players who advanced to this postseason bonanza. His victory assures him a spot in THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola and a shot at the $10 million prize."That's what it's all about," Slocum said. "I was sweating it out last week. I didn't even know if I'd be here. I came in here with the attitude that I had nothing to lose."He turned into a huge winner.Slocum, who came into The Barclays at No. 197 in the Official World Golf Ranking, finished at 9-under 275 and earned $1.35 million for his third career PGA TOUR victory, and first in four years. He vaults from 124th in the FedEx Cup rankings to number three.
We'll be working with our Tour players next week at the Deutsche Bank Championship and want you to help us interview them! So click on "Comment" and submit a question you would like to ask a Tour player - either related to their FJ equipment or just something in general, such as how they decide what to wear each week or what they are working on at the range or in the gym. We'll pose your questions to our players and post their responses upon our return.
Michael Sim collected his third win of the season Sunday at the Nationwide Tour's Christmas in October Classic, earning him an immediate promotion to the PGA TOUR and recognition as the first professional to win in the new FJ ICON golf shoes. The 24-year-old Sim, wearing FJ ICON style #52005, ended the week at 20-under 264, posting a rhythmic 65-67-65-67 pattern that included only two bogeys, one each on Thursday and Friday. The victory gives Sim an instant promotion to the PGA TOUR this year and will make him fully exempt on Tour next year, just the ninth player in Tour history to earn the promotion.Sim, the former No. 1-ranked amateur in the world, also broke Troy Matteson's single-season earnings record of $495,009 set in 2005. He has eclipsed the record in just 12 starts and is averaging a whopping $43,923 for every week he tees it up."It's very relieving," said Sim, who collected his second win at the BMW Charity Pro-Am in mid-May. "I'd been in this position before and I wasn't able to get it done. I tried to stay in the moment as best I could. In Omaha I found it really difficult to stay focused on the last day. Fortunately I learned how to deal with those distractions. I did everything right today."To learn more about FJ ICON, click here to see the styles, click here to visit the new FJ ICON microsite and click here to read an interview with Jack Erickson, VP of Golf Footwear for FootJoy.

Alcohol or Drug Withdrawal
Withdrawal refers to the physical problems and emotions you experience if you are dependent on a substance (such as alcohol, prescription medicines, or illegal drugs) and then suddenly stop or drastically reduce your intake of the substance.
Symptoms of withdrawal are caused by decreased amounts of alcohol or drugs in the blood or tissues of a person who has grown accustomed to prolonged heavy use and who then suddenly stops. Withdrawal syndrome is a set of symptoms that occur when you decrease or stop drinking or using drugs after using alcohol or drugs for a long time.
Symptoms of alcohol withdrawal may begin from 4 to 12 hours after you cut down or stop drinking, or as long as several days after the last drink, and can last a few days. They can range from mild to life-threatening.
Mild withdrawal symptoms may include:
- Intense worry.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Shakiness.
- Sweating.
- Feeling a little tense or edgy.
Severe withdrawal symptoms may
- Being extremely confused, jumpy, or upset.
- Feeling things on your body that are not there.
- Seeing or hearing things that are not there.
- Severe trembling.
- Life-threatening symptoms of withdrawal are called delirium tremens (DTs). Symptoms of DTs include all of the symptoms listed above plus seizures. Untreated DTs can lead to death.
Prescription medicines or illegal drugs
Symptoms of withdrawal from either illegal drugs or prescription medicines depend on the drug or combination of drugs. Common withdrawal symptoms include:
- Abdominal pain.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Drenching sweats.
- Nervousness and shaking.
- Seizures.
- Death
If you are dependent on alcohol or drugs and are experiencing symptoms of withdrawal, you may need a visit to your doctor to help you manage your symptoms.

You're serious? Baby carrots are better than wavy Lays and ranch dip?
The USDA just published a paper that, like most research efforts, confirms our previously held convictions.
Facebook makes you fat? That makes sense, too.
Of course, all research papers must create some element of suspense. The USDA published a report with the tease headline, Gobbling Up Snacks: Cause or Potential Cure for Childhood Obesity?
So which is it, cause or cure? In this case, the agency makes a case for swapping out snacks to reach the desired destination. From the report:
- Children today are consuming close to 200 more calories a day from snacks than they did in the 1970s.
- Replacing a calorie-dense snack food with a fruit or vegetable could reduce calorie intake and improve diet quality.
- Swapping common snack foods with a ½-cup serving of fruits or vegetables can be done without compromising a household's food budget.
Here is a passage that talks about the economic value of switching. From the USDA:
Although some substitutions can increase food costs, others can reduce or have no impact on the food budget. Most substitutions, however, reduce snack calories. For example, replacing:
a 1-ounce chocolate chip cookie with ¼ cup of dried raisins saves 14 calories and costs an additional 3 cents;
4.1 ounces of ready-to-eat pudding with ½ cup of baby carrots saves 130 calories and 19 cents;
1.1 ounces of potato chips with ½ cup of strawberries saves 142 calories and costs an additional 14 cents.
Making these 3 substitutions could reduce caloric intake by 286 calories with little change in cost (2 cents savings), as higher costs for some substitutions are offset by lower costs for others.
Another 397 substitutions are possible using each of the 20 fruits and vegetables to replace each of the 20 snack foods, with different calorie and cost tradeoffs. Making all 400 substitutions would result in an overall reduction of $7.00 in food costs--a small amount when spread over the 13 or so months needed to make all 400 substitutions at a rate of 1 substitution a day. The net impact on calories, however, is considerable, averaging 126 fewer calories per substitution. A month of swapping snacks once a day would save 3,780 calories, which, all else equal, would translate into approximately 1 less pound of body weight.
Substituting a fruit or vegetable for another type of snack food could increase fruit and vegetable consumption and help reduce childhood obesity. The Produce for Better Health Foundation reports that most mothers are aware that their families do not consume enough fruits and vegetables and are interested in new ways to incorporate these foods into their children's diets.
As the USDA rightly reminds us, fresh produce is a healthy snack option. We know this and consumers know this, but somehow the trigger isn't being pulled. It seems there is a need for bigger marketing bucks, a preposterous commitment to cultivate more healthy-minded snacking behavior by consumers.
It is great that the public health community has the back of the industry. But I feel produce marketers need to do more to validate the choice of fresh to consumers. This USDA ERS research paper tell us something all of us know is true - now the industry must go tell it on the mountain.
It will take more convincing - ideally funded with assessment dollars from a generic fresh produce promotion order - for snackers to put away the wavy Lays and open up the bag of baby carrots.

For people who are not following the Apricot blog yet you probably should. There has been a rather interesting video posted on it which shows the prototype of the game so far and also some art that is in production right now. The team is making good progress so things are looking good! You can find the blog at this location.

Did you know?
The Succulent Karoo receives soft, regular winter rainfall - the key to its explosive biodiversity.
If you're interested in South African plants, or more particularly Succulent Karoo plant conservation, you are bound to come across a picture showing an impossible scene, a tapestry of bright flowers from one horizon to the other.
There might be a cryptic caption: 'Namaqualand, South Africa'. This is one of the world's greatest wonders, part of the Succulent Karoo, an arid wonderland running in a rough broad stripe up the country's west coast.
In a good season, when the rains have come at the right time and in the right quantities, there are drifts and sweeps of colours everywhere you look - waves of glistening white, sunny orange, goose-eye purple, acid yellow, party pink.
That's might be considered reason enough for plant conservation in the Karoo.
But in reality, this is just the surface, the pretty make-up, one might say, on the face of a fascinating person. Conservationists know this land as the world's only desert hotspot of biodiversity with well over 4 000 species, and 40% of them found nowhere else.
Fully one third of the entire world's 10 000 succulent plants are found here, and ecologists are scrambling to conserve this astounding plant diversity in the Karoo.
Many succulents are known best by their evocative Afrikaans or Nama names: donkey ears, little buttons, fat fingers, chicken feet, goose droppings, butter-trees and baby's bums.
Succulent Karoo plant conservation is best appreciated in places like the Namaqualand National Park, the Richtersveld National Park, and the national botanical gardens at Worcester and Nieuwoudtville.

Sea Recovery Watermaker
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — December 2002
Sea Recovery's latest generation of watermakers, the UltraWhisper series, is aimed for use aboard the midsize boat, where both space and available energy are in short supply.
Both the UltraWhisper Modular and the UltraWhisper Compact feature EfficientSea technology, which allows the watermaker to take the energy generated by the high-pressure brine water and transfer it to the system's low-pressure feed water. This setup enables a watermaker to reduce its electrical draw by as much as 75 percent while still being able to produce as much as 200 to 600 gallons of potable water per day, says Sea Recovery. The units also feature one-touch automatic operation.
The UltraWhisper Modular and UltraWhisper Compact are available through authorized Sea Recovery dealers and have a suggested retail price of $6,090 for the 200-gpd model.

A gated villa on the market in rural La Habra Heights would fit right in on the Las Vegas strip. The property includes a room full of casino slot machines and fires blazing on the water in the swimming pool.
The home's over-the-top design begins at the entrance, where two suits of armor, a hand-painted dome ceiling and an elaborate crystal chandelier command attention. Intricate murals and wood carvings adorn the walls. The five-bedroom, nine-bathroom house boasts custom carpeting with inlaid designs, multiple fireplaces, and a gourmet kitchen with two Sub-Zero refrigerators, two large islands and an eating area that seats 10 people.
The residence has 9,000-square feet with formal living and dining rooms, a great room and bar, wine cellar with a tasting area, a home theater and a sauna. The multi-level backyard includes patios, fountains, a swimming pool with two tiers, waterfalls and a waterslide, a Jacuzzi and a volleyball court complete with bleachers.
The grounds have more TVs than most homes have indoors. Five TVs are set over the sports bar by the outdoor kitchen. A hidden flat screen TV pops up from the edge of the Jacuzzi. A swim-up bar in a cove setting – complete with bar stools in the pool – also contains a large TV. And the waterslide has a small-screen monitor, so those about to take the plunge can check to see if the coast is clear.
If that's not entertaining enough, you also can release a gas near the swimming pool to create flames on the water. And below the surface, a lounge with windows offers underwater views.
The 1.56-acre villa, built by the owner of a shipping company, was listed a few years ago at $21 million. After moving on and off the market, the property at 1782 Chota Road now is being offered at a range price of $5.99 million to $6.99 million, says the listing agent, David Wright of Engel & Volkers in Newport Beach.
Even with the price chop, the home is twice the asking price of the next most expensive residence on the market in this hilly community near La Habra and just across the Orange County border in Los Angeles County.
Wright said some furnishings and an additional 1.2-acre parcel of land with approved plans for another house next door are negotiable.
"It's secluded," Wright said. "It's really a resort."

Wiltshire councillor Keith Humphries says he is satisfied with the amount of money allocated for public health by the Government, despite the county being one of the lowest funded.
Of the 152 councils in England only ten have received less money than Wiltshire.
Councils take over running public health services in April from the NHS. The Government has allocated budgets to councils for the next two years with more money for areas with the worst health outcomes.

About the Creator
The flower of my soul has so many petals and is so intricate. As I breathe in all the happiness and love possible, I flourish, thrive and bloom into the most healthy and beautiful flower which was planted years ago, but was dormant until now. I have walked through darkness, but thankfully, I managed to tread the waters of my tears with the help of many wonderful people. People who have stood by me and helped me when I was feeling helpless. Depression is an extremely difficult time because many just do not understand and the most difficult part of it is knowing that you are being judged. If I have learned one vital lesson in my 41 years, it is that we can not be happy, if we live in the shadows of ignorance. I have chosen to speak up, for in doing that I'm helping myself while enabling others. I have finally discovered my true passion and essence and it feels great. Writing is exhilarating. Writing is therapy. Writing is expressive passion. Writing is me.

So rumors abounded over the weekend that the Mets and Rockies are in talks to bring catcher Ramon Hernandez to New York. Justin Turner, and possibly a number of of prospects, are also involved. Let's lay this out in some easy-to-understand truths:
1. Ramon Hernandez is an absolute upgrade for the Mets
Since signing a two-year, $6.4 million contract with the Rockies this past offseason, Hernandez has been an unmitigated disaster in Colorado. He's posted a 65 OPS+ in 101 plate appearances and is currently injured. So it is telling just how badly the Mets need to upgrade their catching that his disaster 2012 season alone would have been a significant improvement over Mike Nickeas, who has a 37 OPS+ in 106 plate appearances.
Hernandez is probably better than he's been so far–his OPS+ in both 2010 and 2011 is 112. He was around an .800 OPS against lefties in both seasons, so he'd make an ideal partner for Josh Thole. And he was about as good against righties, so he can step in full time if he reverts to last year's form.
2. The Mets should not hesitate to trade Justin Turner for Ramon Hernandez
Justin Turner is 27 years old. So this is likely as good as it gets. What is Turner? A career OPS+ of 88, matched by his 88 this season. Below average defense at every position he plays. His versatility means he can find jobs in baseball for a few years. His low level of production means he is quite replaceable. To upgrade a position of huge need, there's no reason the Mets should hold onto Turner.
3. If the Rockies think they're getting a reasonably good prospect for Hernandez, they're crazy (unless it's about the money)
I mentioned earlier that Hernandez's 2012 is an upgrade over Nickeas. Do not mistake this for thinking Hernandez's 2012 is an upgrade over essentially any other catcher. In OPS+, Hernandez ranks 44th out of 55 catchers with at least 75 plate appearances. Nickeas ranks 53rd.
So the market for Hernandez would already be limited. But consider that with $3.2 million due to Hernandez in 2012 and 2013, the inherent value in getting Hernandez off the books- $4.8 million- is already considerable for Colorado.
The idea that the Mets would need to provide a sweetener above and beyond this is laughable. So Domingo Tapia shouldn't be going anywhere. Matt Den Dekker certainly shouldn't be going anywhere. A thank you note from the Rockies should be accompanying Hernandez. Otherwise, the Mets should be looking elsewhere for catching help that won't cost them $4.8 million in added salary. (Total is half of 2012 salary, all of 2013 salary. It obviously goes down slightly the longer the Mets wait.)
The only corollary here is if the Mets are sending a prospect to help convince Colorado to take on more of Hernandez's salary. Let's hope that isn't the case, since it would serve as the effective selling of a prospect by an organization who should be stockpiling them.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1734 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Many Winnipeg stores are offering Black Friday deals today, and some right through the weekend, in an effort to keep local shoppers from heading across the border.
It's a tradition in the U.S. for stores to hold Black Friday sales on their Thanksgiving weekend, and this year was no exception.
In Winnipeg, at one store offering Black Friday savings, shoppers were lined up into the parking lot at Toys R Us in the Polo Park area.
By the time doors opened at 7 a.m., the early start into the store was worth it, shoppers and the store manager agreed.
"I came right for 7 a.m. and there was a long line up," said Natalie Premsuch, who rolled out of the store with a giant box called Cook 'N Grow' about 10 minutes later. "I have a 16-month old daughter. It's a kitchen set for her," she said.
Store director Mike Brooks said this is the second year the big box toy store in Winnipeg has marked the biggest shopping day in the United States north of the border.
If the goal is to keep shoppers north of the 49th parallel, it's working.
"We ordinarily open at 9 a.m. And we opened at 7 a.m.. As you can see it was well worth being open," the manager said.

Jorie Butler Kent, Vice Chairman
August 05, 2009
An astute businesswoman, conservationist and professional photographer, Jorie Butler Kent has travelled the world from the lamaseries of Tibet to the rainforests of Uganda and turned her travels into the continued worldwide expansion of the luxury travel firm Abercrombie & Kent with co-owner and business partner Geoffrey Kent.
Born in Chicago, Jorie is the daughter of Paul and Marjorie Stresenreuter Butler, who founded the village of Oak Brook, Illinois in 1964. This is currently the fifth generation of Butlers in Illinois.
Jorie Butler attended the Avery Coonley School in Downers Grove, the Latin School in Chicago and graduated from Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. She received a degree in commercial art from Finch College in New York City.
Her great loves are sports and travel -- two passions she has been able to combine successfully throughout her life. Jorie's parents had her on a horse before she could even walk, leading to championships in numerous horse shows and jumping events including timber and flat races by the time she was 17. She hunted with her mother, father and two brothers, swam competitively and played tennis and polo.
The travel started early as well, on journeys with her parents throughout North America, Europe and Central America. They fostered in young Jorie a respect for different cultures and the beauty of the world's natural landscapes. That she should find herself Vice Chairman of one of the world's foremost luxury adventure tour companies was only natural.
Out of regard for other lands, peoples and wildlife evolved yet another passion, wildlife and community conservation. In 1982 Jorie Butler Kent and Geoffrey Kent founded Friends of Conservation (FOC), an organization formed to preserve and enhance the ecology of the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya. Very results-oriented, FOC has successfully involved the local Masai people in conservation and education projects, creating a model for sustainable tourism. H.R.H. The Prince of Wales recognized this pioneering effort by becoming FOC's Patron in 1988.
In 1999, Jorie Butler Kent received the Chevron Conservation Award for her efforts to preserve Kenya's and Tanzania's wildlife and habitat through global outreach initiatives and for setting the standard for cooperation between environmental preservation and responsible capitalism in the tourism industry.
Today A&K's worldwide conservation efforts are coordinated by Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy, guided by Jorie Butler Kent. The organization facilitates A&K's commitment to socially and ecologically responsible travel worldwide, as well as helping our guests to become actively involved in these efforts. Details can be found at www.akphilanthropy.org.
It never occurred to Jorie Butler Kent and Geoffrey Kent that a travel company should be anything but totally dedicated to responsible tourism. This philosophy is carried through from the small group-size of A&K tours and special training for the guides, to the tree planted in honor of every person booking a trip with Abercrombie & Kent USA, LLC.
When it comes to managing and directing a company as interesting as Abercrombie & Kent, Jorie Butler Kent's business acumen and devotion to style compliments Geoffrey Kent's entrepreneurial spirit. Integral involvement in her family's businesses developed this sense -- a licensed pilot, she served, among other responsibilities, as controller for Butler Aviation, a company her father started as a hobby, which grew into the nation's largest fixed-base operator. She also served as Executive Vice-President for Butler Overseas, a company she owns today.
As director of the Butler's Sports Core, she built and managed the Oak Brook Bath and Tennis Club and Oak Brook Polo Club from 1967 to 1979. Jorie continued her interest in polo and became the first woman member of the United States Polo Association (USPA). She organized the USPA Polo Pony Championship and helped to establish the rules & registry. Jorie's equestrian interests extended to coaching the Rolex/Abercrombie & Kent Polo Team, as well as owning and operating horse breeding ranches in Montana and South Carolina.
In 1972 Jorie bought an interest in Abercrombie & Kent, helping to expand the business worldwide. As co-owners of the Abercrombie & Kent Group of Companies, Geoffrey Kent and Jorie Butler Kent spend several months every year on reconnaissance in outlying areas of the world, to evaluate new locations for the company's tours. Once known primarily for its African safaris, today Abercrombie & Kent offers travel in more than 100 different countries on all seven continents.
Jorie's photographic expertise has become an integral part of Abercrombie & Kent. Her photographs grace the pages of A&K's brochures as well as numerous trade and consumer magazines including Fortune and Vogue.
During her travels Jorie has photographed some of her most unusual and exciting experiences, from tracking gorillas in Uganda, climbing the Great Wall of China, swimming in the hot springs off Deception Island in Antarctica, viewing tigers from elephant-back in Nepal, whalewatching in Husavik, Iceland, and watching the sun set at Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
Her interest in photography led Jorie to establish, in 1986, her own commercial slide bank, International Geographic Images (IGI). IGI is based in Florida within the offices of DHI, an award-winning commercial graphic design firm Jorie founded in 1983. Firmly established with offices in Vero Beach, Florida and Chicago, Illinois, DHI has clients of national and international renown. Jorie serves as Chairman and is deeply involved with DHI in all areas of management and design.
Between her travels, Jorie finds time to be involved in numerous charitable and civic organizations. She is a Trustee of the Indian River County Environmental Learning Center located in Vero Beach, Florida and is on the Advisory Board of the International Center for Tropical Ecology (ICTE) located in St. Louis, Missouri. Additionally, she has served on the Environment Committee of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). She was a founding Director of The Green Globe, a World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) subsidiary, and of the World Travel and Tourism Ecological Research Center (WTTERC). Furthermore, she is a Member of The Explorer's Club, New York, and a Fellow of The Royal Geographical Society, London. Most recently she became a founding member of the Sustainable Travel Leadership Network.
Jorie has one daughter, Reute Butler, who is a published photographer and serves as President of Friends of Conservation. They work very closely together on conservation projects around the world where local communities share their natural habitat and eco-systems with endangered species.
Jorie's personal philosophy about travel is that it should be an adventure without sacrificing the comforts of home. This commitment, her attention to detail and continued architectural supervision of all A&K properties, give Abercrombie & Kent a unique style that attracts clientele like the Rockefellers and the Pillsburys, Bill and Melinda Gates, Johnny Carson, Tom Hanks, Warren Buffett and Jane Seymour.
She received the Conde Nast Traveler World Savers Award for "Doing It All," honoring Abercrombie & Kent's industry leadership in social responsibility. This year A&K was recognized for funding health care and education from Ecuador to India. "It is with tremendous pride that I share this recognition of A&K's dedication to preserving natural habitats, protecting wildlife and supporting indigenous peoples," said Jorie Butler Kent, who guides A&K Philanthropy. "Working with our guests, we have pioneered a new form of community development assistance by forging informal partnerships with grassroots initiatives and compassionate travellers who want to give something back to the places they visit."
In 2010, Abercrombie & Kent was honored with a Global Vision Award from Travel + Leisure for leadership in Philanthropic Travel.
Abercrombie & Kent's U.S. headquarters are in Downers Grove, Illinois. The Abercrombie & Kent Group of Companies comprises 50 offices around the world employing more than 2,200 travel professionals. For more information, please call (800) 323-7308 or go to www.abercrombiekent.com.

There's a special fundraising show this Friday (11/16) at saki for Joe McAdam's Aunt and Uncle, whose home in Brick, New Jersey was completely destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. The show features standup from Junior Stopka, Will Miles, CJ Toledano, and Joe Kwaczala, and music from Gabe Liebowitz from Dastardly. We've also received several generous prize donations from local businesses like Second City, The Owl, The Music Box Theatre, and more, which we'll be raffling off at the show.
If you'd like to make a donation but can't come out to the show, head over to Joe's website and click the giant "donate" button in the top left corner.
What follows is a brief piece from Joe about his family and his personal connection to New Jersey.
My aunt and uncle along with their two boys just lost their home the other day to Hurricane Sandy. It seems hard to even imagine completely losing your house, but I've seen the pictures, there was about 5 feet of water in their living room and it completely destroyed nearly everything they owned.
I'm racking my brain to think of a comparable situation I may have been in. One time someone stole my clothes at a party, it was weird. That might be the closest.
It's hard to imagine a place you used to visit being gone. I went to their home a lot as a kid, it was my favorite place.
My aunt Krissy McAdam was always "the fun aunt". She is a lot younger than my dad and had Grateful Dead posters and a Nintendo. I remember meeting her husband for the first time too. He showed up with literally a car's trunk full of candy. I'm not kidding at all. To this day, I've never seen such a thing.
My memories of visits with her are some of my favorites, she would always take me out to the boardwalk to go on rides, play carny games and all the other Jersey-type fun. She used to own a pseudo-head shop store that sold bootleg concerts and incense and all that, and it was my favorite place to hang out. I'd sit around there all day learning juggling sticks or something. She let me be in a parade float for her store one time too. I got to dress up like a Grateful Dead bear and ride a jet ski on the bed of a truck. This sounds weird and looking back, it was. To me New Jersey was like an entire state that was an amusement park. Now I know that it's just Jersey, but my aunt and uncle made it the best place imaginable to a kid.
Even growing up and visiting as a teenager was great. I remember having one of my first beers at that house (if you tell my dad, I'll fucking kill you. Also if you tell him about the swearing, well, that's not exactly cool either.)
The point is, my aunt Krissy and her family have been really important to me. They've been extremely generous and have always been some of the most welcoming and loving people I know. As a young nephew you're rarely in the position to do something to return the favor. But right now they need some support to get back on their feet and rebuild. I'm a broke comic, but I have a lot of good-hearted friends so I figured I'd use the only real skill I have, tricking people into laughing, to help them out. I know what I'm able to give back pales in comparison to what they've given me, but I feel like they don't even want me to dress them up like Dead bears at this point anyway.

• paronym •
Pronunciation: pæ-rê-nim
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A lexical derivative, a word that is derived from another as catty is derived from cat, and felinity is derived from feline.
Notes: Paronym has several paronyms. The noun is paronymy and the two adjectives are quite similar to those of the other words in this series: paronymous and paronymic. We are disinclined to accept other definitions that have been used in the past. Paronym isn't widely used to mean "cognate", a word that is similar to a word in another language, like English water and German Wasser. It also does not mean two words that are not quite homonyms, like deletion and dilution. Such usage strikes us as misusage by people who need a subscription to our Good Words.
In Play: Keep in mind that inflectional variants are not usually considered paronyms, so that stated and stating are not paronyms of the verb, *to) state, but statement is. A paronym is a different word derived from another, not a different form of the same word: "What is the noun paronym of normal: normality or normalcy?"
Word History: This good word started out as Greek paronymos "derivative", containing para "beside" + onyma "name". We have already examined onyma, so today let's focus on para. This Greek preposition means "beside, alongside" and descends from the PIE root *per- "toward, through, before". It has several paronyms in English: for, fro (as in 'to and fro'), and from. In German and Dutch it turned out as the prefix ver- "completely", an intensive prefix that participates in verrompelt "wrinkled". English borrowed this word, then honed down to frump. Honestly.

So para is Greek meaning "beside". I gather that this is the para in 'para legal' and 'para medic'. I've always wondered since the most familiar para to me was in 'parachute' , 'parapluie' (umbrella/Fr.) and 'paratonerre' (lightning rod/Fr.) with the approx. meaning of 'against'. Is the later Latin?
I always interpreted para as meaning 'opposite, against' etc., thinking for example of parapluie or parasol, and the chemical prefix 'para-', meaning at the opposite position in a ring. If you want to look at several pages of examples of different meanings, try this link.
Tonerre is French for 'thunder', Latin: tonitrus.
Tonerre is French for 'thunder', Latin: tonitrus.
Irren ist männlich
Etymology: French, from Old Italian parasole, from parare to shield + sole sun, from Latin sol -- more at PARAPET, SOLAR
: a lightweight umbrella used as a sunshade especially by women
I always thought of these as two different prefixes, one from Latin "for use against" like parachute, and parasol, (and 'paraguas' in Spanish) and the Greek one meaning "along side" and "along with" (paraphernalia).
prefix meaning "alongside, beyond, altered, contrary," from Gk. para- from para (prep.) "beside, near, from, against, contrary to," cognate with Skt. para "beyond;" Hitt. para "on, forth;" L. pro "before, for, in favor of," per- "through;" Goth. faur "along;" O.E. for- "off, away"
But, I see the meaning of the Greek root can be "contrary" as anders was thinking:
1540, from L. paradoxum "paradox, statement seemingly absurd yet really true," from Gk. paradoxon, from neut. of adj. paradoxos "contrary to expectation, incredible," from para- "contrary to" + doxa "opinion."

Kelly Clarkson loves her girth
Kelly Clarkson is fine with her weight and decided to fire back at critics in an interview with Self magazine who ironically wasn't fine with Kelly's weight because they airbrushed the shit out of her (above). People reports:
"When people talk about my weight, I'm like, 'You seem to have a problem with it; I don't. I'm fine!'," Clarkson, 27, tells the September issue of Self.
She also notes, "My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more."
The Texas native admits she still eats chicken-fried steak, but also has days when she prefers salads. "I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount," she tells the magazine. "Whatever I'm craving, I go for it."
Her secret to losing weight, in fact, is to not go on a diet: "For me, it's the times when I'm not paying attention that I end up losing weight. But I'm never trying to lose weight – or gain it. I'm just being!"
Why do I get the feeling Kelly's one of those people who orders five Big Macs and a Diet Coke? Or eats an entire buffalo because she ate a salad for lunch. With only 10 chicken wings in it. Let's go with that last one.

I wanted to demonstrate legal and technical hazards of leaving the Wireless APs in unsecured mode (without WEP or WAP-PSK), largely at Home installations.
I understand that Man in the Middle Attacks are possible which leads to some one, not only getting connected to your AP and having a free ride on your money but also commit some crime while stealing your information that gets passed through the same AP.
How should I demonstrate this live using Remote Exploit or any other MITM tool?
Pls advise!!
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

A TRIO of Chippenham teenagers have victory in their sights as they prepare to jet off to Turkey for their first taste of international action.
Fourteen-year-old midfielders Jordan Young and Callum Gunner and defender Will Christopher, 15, are all members of Swindon Town's academy and have been picked for a week-long training camp in Antalya after being scouted by Scottish national youth team coach and former international midfielder Scot Gemmill.
The trio, who are eligible to represent Scotland through their grandparents, are part of a 22-strong squad that will play three trial friendlies with a view to making next year's Victory Shield line-up.
Hardenhuish School pupil Young turned down a move to Premier League giants Chelsea in 2011 and dad Scott revealed that he had no idea his son qualified for a Scottish call-up.
"It's quite strange because we didn't actually know that he had Scottish blood in him," said Young's father.
"His grandad always considered himself English but his dad was in the Navy and he was actually born during a spell in Scotland, when he was only there for two days – having a Scottish birth certificate meant that Jordan qualified.
"He's really excited because what boy doesn't dream of representing a national side?
"We still hear rumours about people being interested in Jordan since the Chelsea thing but he's already agreed to do his scholarship at Swindon after he finishes school."
Gunner, who goes to Sheldon School, added: "I've played with Jordan since I was five or six and I met Will when I started at secondary school – that's when he got scouted for Swindon," he said.
"It's really good that I'm going with some of my mates that I play with all the time.
"I'm a little bit nervous but I'm excited about going. I remember watching the final of the Victory Shield on television last year and Scotland beat England in the final and it would be great to play in it next year."
The trio fly from Edinburgh to Turkey on Saturday morning.

Wis Tex BBQ, the new Texas-style barbecue place here in town, has been open for a couple of months now and I've been there 3 times. The owner is a native Texan who married a woman from Wisconsin do that's how he wound up here, and he'd been planning on opening a restaurant for a few years.
Last week I went there with a friend and I had the smoked ham and turkey breast with a side of ribs. Both were very good, both at dinner and as leftovers the next day. The ribs are very simply seasoned so most of the flavor is salt and smoke, and while they pull pretty clean from the bone they have a nice amount of chew. The turkey breast just might be my favorite as I've ordered it all 3 times I've been there and it's lightly smoky and thoroughly cooked without being dry; I should ask the owner if he brines.
Jim had the chopped brisket and chopped pork; I've also had them and they're both pretty good. If I had to quibble I'd prefer the brisket to be sliced, but if it's chopped it allows the kitchen to put out a more uniform product and I think that's a good idea when trying to sell to a dining public that might not be all that knowledgeable about barbecue.
The sides are pretty simple and since I don't like coleslaw or potato salad I get the fries and the pinto beans, which have gotten better each time I've been there. They may look like baked beans but there's absolutely no sweetness to them, which is a big plus in my book. (That weird vertical stripe is either a film or processing defect.)
Prices and portions are both reasonable and I hope he does well here in Lutefisk Land. The building he's in has housed 2 other restaurants and IMO it might actually be a little bit too big for his operation, but he's putting out a good product that isn't offered by anybody else in the immediate area and even though it was a late Wednesday afternoon when we ate there there was a steady stream of customers.
