mossberg pistol grip 21 or 18??
so after work today me and a couple co-workers went to the local sporting goods store and one of the guys is 20 and was looking at a Mossberg 500 12 that just has the pistol grip and a 18.5" barrel. The big question was if you needed to be 18 or 21 to buy one of these shottys. Id say 18 but being the thing is strictly pistol grip i could see where the 21 would be the age. I live in Montana any ideas on an age? Hell the kid behind the counter couldnt even tell us but i dont thing he could even tell us the difference between a rifle and a shotgun.
need to be 18, it counts as a shotgun. pistol grip dont matter.
If it's over 26" its a long gun,you need only be 18(unless)-you live in a place like I do-Michigan-where they consider anything under 30" a pistol and must be registered and be 21 to buy(gay)(dumb)(stupid)!!
Sorry, gents, I have to disagree with you- and the ATF HAS ruled on this- it is 21.
A shotgun and rifle are defined as "fired from the shoulder". And that pistol gripped Mossy is not a pistol, it is an "other". If you read the regs, it says 18 for rifles and shotguns- 21 for "other". BTW, that includes buying a bare receiver. It actually is listed on the FFLs bound book as "other".
I did NOT say it would make sense- and I did not write the stupid reg.
ill keep you up dated. Im kind of hoping your right now because if it doesnt work out with him getting it i may swing in and buy it for myself.:D

(sorry there wont be a picture of me I don't like putting them up for all the people of the world to see. I just think it is kind of weird... call me old school, what ever. Im a 90's kid I miss when people used walkmans and I didn't know what Google was...
if you want me to describe my appearance then here: white, slightly freckled in the summer, brunette long staightish hair, hazel eyes, 5'7", and as my profile describes so well "a little extra" as body type. no worries im not obese, just "extra")
Music- rock, alternative, electric and bands such as the Beatles, Coldplay, The Killers, U2, Dave Mathews, Muse, the Black Keys, Enya, Death Cab for Cutie, Barenaked Ladies, Goo Goo Dolls, Gotye, im not to picky really
Books- fantasy, fiction, mystery fav right now is Southern Vampire Mysteries and many more; oh and don't worry Twilight sucks, don't even get me started!
Movies- any action, adventure, mystery, thriller kind of movie. All time favs though, Jurassic Park 1 and 3 (2 should not exist)

The DJ has cryptically announced during a gig at the Chateau Marmont that she will wed Lindsay by the end of the year, but didn't mention a wedding date and venue.
Becoming more vocal about their romance, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are set to wed by the end of this year. The DJ has on Tuesday night, September 9, during a gig at a top Los Angeles nightclub, declared her love for the actress-singer, cryptically telling partygoers that she will wed her in the next sixth months.
"By the end of this year, my love will be Mrs. Ronson," Samantha publicly announced from her mixing desk at the Chateau Marmont. She went on adding, "Tonight shows the power of a woman - to underestimate that is to underestimate the world." No official wedding date and venue just yet.
Lindsay and Samantha's alleged lesbian romance has become talk of the town for months. They added fuel to the persistent lesbian rumors when they were photographed kissing outside the Mercer Hotel during an outing in New York City on Friday, September 5.
Despite their silence over the many rumors on the street, Chateau Marmont regulars claim that the venue has become a frequent Friday night hang-out for the inseparable duo. According to club performer, identified as Raymond Aymond, "Samantha and Lindsay are the most in-love Hollywood couple I've ever seen. Every Friday night they come in here and do cheesy dancing."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/8/2013 (1477 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The North Kildonan Community Players have made their mark in the neighbourhood over the last decade and a half.
As it prepares Annie, its 15th production, the local theatre group is planning to help give back to the community. Annie will run from Nov. 20 to 24 at the Université de Saint-Boniface theatre at 200 Avenue de la Cathedrale.
Laurie Fischer, who founded the group with wife Cathie after several years working with community theatre groups in Saskatoon, recalled the first production back in Winnipeg was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Since then, approximately 150 people have become involved with the company's productions.
"Winnipeg had tremendous professional theatre," Fischer said, also acknowledging the city's strong high school and amateur programs. "There was nothing in the middle in community theatre.
"Winnipeg has become a great centre for community theatre. It has grown over the last decade."
Over the course of memorable productions of classics like Fiddler on the Roof and Anne of Green Gables, Fischer noted the stable of actors includes several from the same family. Several productions have had three generations from a family, and Annie may see a fourth generation from a particular clan grace the stage.
Auditions for Annie are slated to be held from Aug. 25 to 27. Those looking for more information can contact Fischer at firstname.lastname@example.com or 204-890-8999.
Hard work goes into each production, as members practise thrice weekly. The company strives for professionalism, and it often succeeds. Fischer noted six graduates have gone on to work in professional theatre.
"We consider ourselves a training ground," said Fischer, a North Kildonan resident. "We are a non-profit community theatre, but the presentation has to be professional.
"When people talk to us after a show and say 'Oh, it was so professional', that's what we love to hear."
Fischer describes community theatre productions as an iceberg, where the audience only gets to see a small portion of the work that actually goes on.
"Multi-tasking is key for anyone who wants to be involved in community theatre. You are never doing just one thing at any time," he said. "Whether it's backstage or onstage, you're involved with properties and costumes and ticket sales."
Stage manager Dennis Marand said he's learned skills ranging from lighting and sound design to reading music in his 15 years with the company.
"It's a huge learning opportunity for me," the North Kildonan resident said. "The role of a stage manager sounds fairly simple, or simplistic, in running the show, but it takes countless hours of planning.
"When the actors are going through hours and hours of rehearsing, the stage manager is going through hours and hours of planning."
Leading up to this year's production, organizers are planning a cut-a-thon at Hair Network at McIvor Mall on Oct. 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in support of CancerCare Manitoba. The day will include shaving Daddy Warbucks' head at noon.
As well, the production will host a preview night of the show to support CancerCare, and Variety Manitoba children and their families will be invited to attend the show. As well, there are plans to support the Canadian Diabetes Association on opening night.

This definitive collection of Lish's short work includes a new foreword by the author and 106 stories, many of which Lish has revised exclusively for this edition. His observations are in turn achingly sad and wryly funny as they spark recognition of our common, clumsy humanity. There are no heroes here, except, perhaps, for all of us, as we muddle our way through life: these are stories of unfaithful husbands, inadequate fathers, restless children, and men lost in their middle age: more often than not, first-person tales narrated by one "Gordon Lish".
The take on life is bemused, satirical, and relentlessly accurate; the language unadorned. The result is a model of modernist prose and a volume of enduring literary craftsmanship.
The second volume includes the stories from "After the Beanstalk" to "How the Sophist Got Spotted".

"With writing reminiscent of Stein or Beckett, Lish reminds his readers that the actual past and the remembered past are different, and he fleshes out every possible perspective…. These details - haunting, funny, ordinary, pitiable - are the real stuff of life." (Boston Review)
"Reading [Lish's] stories is like looking at the gears of a clock that's missing a face." (D. T. Max)
"Gordon Lish has loomed large in the background of the American short story for nearly half a century." (BC Edwards, BOMBlog)

Harvey's Gainsbourg Comes Back Around
It seems like it is always reissue time, but here is news of a return engagement that is very worthwhile:
Intoxicated Man (1995) and Pink Elephants (1997) are Mick Harvey's interpretations of the songs of legendary singer, songwriter and poet Serge Gainsbourg and are the first major works translating Gainsbourg's infuential work from French to English. The double CD collection will include two unreleased tracks, 'Dr Jekyll' and 'Run From Happiness.'
I was there when this happened the first time, and the claims made for these records are true: They really did inspire interest in Gainsbourg in a lot of people who had never heard of him before. The reissues are out on May 6th. The unreleased track "Dr. Jekyll" is below.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/1/2013 (1687 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Last season's Winnipeg Jets were incorrigible. Fun to be around at times but also irresponsible and impossible to count on.
Coach Claude Noel, more than anyone, knows this must change.
For the Jets to be anything more than a speed bump barely getting in the way of the NHL's elite, as a team they must grow up.
No more cutesy kids' stuff. It doesn't cut it in the most macho of professional sports leagues where those that win do it from an understanding of self comes last and team comes first.
Winners in the NHL walk, talk and think in a similar fashion at all times. They don't win at home and then tank on the road. They don't treat defensive responsibilities like homework that need not be done.
They understand this is a job that requires full-time commitment on and off the ice.
It is, as Noel puts it, an attitude.
"We don't want to be standing here in April next year going down this same path," said Noel at a post-season wrap with the media. "Things have to change. The first thing for me is we have to be better. Our attitude has to be better. I think we're getting there. That's what I want them to think about over the summer."
Summer, however, turned into fall and then into winter without Noel having his hands on the Jets. How they handled their time away and what self-development they endeavoured to undertake is unknown. So too, is the effect Noel will be able to have on his troops in short order. He's going to need to reach them and reach them fast or April will come with the same feeling of underachievement.
Late last season after the Jets had been eliminated from playoff contention, Noel declared in a moment of clarity and unfettered honesty that he knew what must change about his team.
"We have to learn not to play just to play but to play to win," said Noel, his blue lasers for eyes almost smoking with the heat of anger and disappointment. "It's all about attitude. We have to change the attitude."
The comment was made to a reporter in a quiet moment away from the throb of last year's rockstar pace. Noel was about to begin his process of decompression, looking back and taking stock.
But he already knew what had to be done.
Now, robbed of communication with his players for more than four months, no meaningful training camp and limited practise time as result of the lockout, the second-year coach of the Jets must attempt to still make his mark. It won't be easy.
Noel must be spinning right now. No schedule, no chance to talk to his captain Andrew Ladd. No barometer on how Dustin Byfuglien has fared the lockout or what state of mind his goalie Ondrej Pavelec will arrive in after an off-season that included a charge and conviction for drunk driving.
The coach has some talking to do and some bridge-building.
It's really quite simple for the Jets. They will either mature as a team and learn to play like hardened professionals or they will continue their existence as an easy opponent. One version makes the post-season. The other does not.
Noel was patient last season, learning what he had on his roster in terms of players and men. Now he's armed with the knowledge of who will ease off the throttle if allowed and who will continue to drive no matter the circumstances.
"It's just the way that we think and we play," said Noel. "It's the mentality and that's really what has to take hold next year, right from training camp, and it will because it will be mapped out and I will be pushing harder and expecting more."
Sorry coach, those plans are likely toast. But the task hasn't changed. Noel needs to get his foot on the collective throat of this team and then push, push and push some more.
The Jets have some talent but they can't afford to be a good story at home and a nightmare on the road. They need to develop -- a consistent identity. In short, it's time for them to put on their big boy pants.
"The bar has got to go up and we have to raise it," said Noel. "I was real patient (last) year, which was real good for me and I think it was good for the team. I'll be less patient next year."
So too, will be the folks in the stands.

Roberta Lopez celebrated her 100th birthday Sunday, one day after the birthday of her hero, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
"I'm 100 years old and full of thunder," said Roberta Lopez from the activities room at Lincoln Manor where she now makes her home surrounded by the staff that has quickly become her family.
But the day of her life, she said, was in 1955 when she saw King lead protestors in a boycott of the segregated bus system in Montgomery, Ala.
Today, she calls him her hero and said that the happiest day of her life was seeing him lead the bus boycott. The worst day of her of life, she said, was April 4, 1968, the day he was assassinated.
She was living in Montgomery and caring for her ailing mother when King began the bus boycott in her hometown of Montgomery, according to her sister Florence "Tootie" Brewer of Canton.
"He was pastor at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church," Brewer said, "and that was very close to where Mother lived and Mother attended a neighboring church."
"I got to see Martin Luther King," Lopez said. "He was in the march downtown and he was leading the people. He talked about race and how we should get together and be as one. The white people were standing around throwing things and calling us names. It was a frightening time to live."
Through the years, Lopez said, she believes race relations have improved in this country. "I've seen many hard things good and bad. I was so sad when Dr. King was killed. He helped the races so much .... We just wanted us to be treated equally. "
She remembers sitting on the back of buses in Montgomery.
"Colored people weren't allowed to sit in the front of the bus, I remember that," Roberta said. "We weren't allowed in white restaurants."
For 100 years old, Lopez is still very tuned in to conversations, although her memory has slowed down, her sister said.
"She doesn't want to say too much because she's afraid she might be wrong after all this time, but she's still got a very clear head," Florence said. "She asks me, 'Did I say that right, sister?'"
The second born of her family, which included nine children, Roberta Larkins attended a one-room schoolhouse. She was taught to be a fine lady by her mother who, the sisters said, was highly intelligent and dedicated to her children and her faith in God.
"She was the smartest mother, I can't believe some of the things she did," said Brewer, who turned 80 last Thursday.
"My grandmother was an ex-slave," Brewer said. "But never a word of it passed her lips. But we all knew that she was once a slave, but we never spoke of it. But mother, she was just a natural, strong, very progressive woman. She wanted all of her children to attend college. And that was very progressive for back then -- especially for an African American. She bought a piano and wanted all of us to learn the piano."
Their father also doted over the children. "He wanted to be right there with the family," Brewer said. "Mama traveled and found her own entertainment, and Dad liked to read the newspaper and stay at home."
But the two sisters, even for the 20-year age difference and six siblings in between, grew up together. "It was the two of us at home before she got married," said Brewer.
"She used to take care of me," Brewer said. "She once told me that she used to French curl my hair when I was a little girl to go to Sunday school. She was my confidante. Then, later in life, I got to take care of her."
Both Florence and Roberta attended Alabama State University in Montgomery.
Roberta completed almost two years of college and Florence graduated, rarities for women of that age.
Roberta married Samuel Henry, the apple of her eye, and they left Alabama to live in Kentucky, then Indianapolis. "He just adored her," Brewer said of her sister's first husband.
"He took good care of her," Brewer said. "She was always impeccably dressed, and he taught her to get up in the morning and make up her face and do her hair. When she would come back to Montgomery, she was the celebrity; she was so pretty."
"She's always had a good life," said Brewer, who also taught grade school after graduating from Alabama State. "She doesn't drink, doesn't smoke and has always been connected to a church."
"Mother always said that Roberta was the healthiest of her children," Brewer said, although two of their other siblings lived into their 90s.
Roberta moved to Canton after her first husband died and lived with Brewer, who is married to a retired pharmacist. "For almost 18 years, I cared for her," Brewer said. "I got to repay her for caring for me when we were children. It broke my heart to put her into a facility, but I just couldn't take care of her anymore."
Today, the healthy senior likes the crafts projects and participates in the outings at Lincoln Manor. This past summer she visited the Wayne County Fair with the Lincoln Manor staff and recently attended a couple of bus trips to area Christmas pageants.
"She's a lover," said aide Jan Jordan who sat nearby and held her hand. "She loves to tease and be teased. We have fun with her. I've never seen her cry; I've never even seen her grouchy. She even laughs while she sneezes. I wish all the residents could be like her. It would be the happiest place."
"All I know is I never thought I'd live to be 100," Roberta said. "Dad used to say if I study my lessons like I dance, I'll be fine .... I believe that if you treat everybody right and they'll treat you right," she said.

A split single here between production duo Cain 1 & Wakutt, who head up the release with an ode to cough medicine in "Night Nurse", while Slynk provides more musical madness with "Bad Duppy Walk". The former is a bonafide jungle revivalist mash up with a lilting reggae swagger and a re-work of the syrupy sweet lyrics of Gregory Isaacs' legendary song of the same name. The latter also mixes a strong reggae influence with modern day D&B, plus some rave synths, cheery melodies, shuffling breaks and oodles of energy. Fun from start to finish!

Casetta Settanta and Casa Castagno are cottages suitable for a family of max 5 persons (including baby cot) and consist of 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a living room with 2 single beds and a little kitchen. Mandorli, Orazio, Blu, Stalla, Cuoco and Palmento are perfect for a couple with a small child.
They consist of a bedroom, bathroom, a kitchenette apart and a terrace with outdoor furniture. There is no separate living room.
All the cottages are in the park and distances 50m from the swimming pool (open from 1 of April until 31 of October). These cottage have a terrace with outdoor furniture. You can opt to pay for breakfast and dinner, which are served on the terrace of the house where the owners live.
On the property you can also find a jeu-de-boules yard, a playground for your children and a botanical garden. Very close to the property you can find a pizzeria and the shopping streets of Mascalucia.
Exploring eastern Sicily: The accommodation is an excellent base from which to explore eastern Sicily and the volcano Etna. It is just five kilometres from the highway 10 km from Catania and 15 km from Acireale (a pretty little city, built on a plateau of lava, that is known for its Baroque churches). Santa Maria la Scala and Santa Tecla are pleasant seaside villages near Acireale. Gardini Naxos, a seaside resort with beautiful sandy beaches distances 40 km. And a bit further we find Taormina 'the pearl of the Mediterranean' and the most exclusive seaside resort in Sicily. Its ancient Greek theatre is world famous for its extraordinary panoramic views. Syracuse and Noto are a 1 hour drive away.
We have been with Homeaway since 2006, proposing houses that are able to unfold Sicily's colours and charm at best.
Houses with quality furnishing in unique locations, with incredible views or with a pool, always accurately selected in order to satisfy our main wish: to see you falling in love with Sicily just like we did.
We provide you with transparent information and true pictures. What you see is exactly what you get. We will advise you as much as we can about travel info, transfers and car rental.
Dinners in villas and other extra services can also be arranged. Finally, our prices are final rates! There are no hidden additional costs. We are flexible with your arrivals and departures and if you need a late check-in this is usually possible.
Prices include use of air-conditioning, final cleaning, linen and towels, water, gas, electricity.
Beautiful park with a fewcottages and central building where breakfast is served. The area is quiet and good to relax. Mascalucia is a suburb of Catania and located at the road to Etna. We found the good connection to many interesting places useful to start tours from here.
We stayed in the end of october with my husband and my two sons (10 and 13)
Wonderful garden, quiet, the countryside in town ...
Good place for ETNA, not far from airport
Nice breakfast and dinners althought I found it expensive comparing with the price in the area
Almost no kitchen, just OK to have a drink. Only one bowl. Even difficult to make a proper breakfast, if you are four people staying.
The beds are really small for the children.
There is no heating/air-conditionning in the small room where the children sleep
Not enough hot water for four showers.
The pool seems great but is not usable at that time of the year
Location agréable correspondant à la description. Accueil sympathique. Séjour agréable
Mascalucia is an excellent base from which to explore the eastern part of Sicily. The villages of Etna, such as Trecastagni, Zafferana Etnea and Randazzo, are famous for their ancient lava flows, the architecture of their seventeenth century churches, their delicious local produce and the hospitality of the villagers. Situated 700 metres above sea level, they are a favourite retreat of the city dwellers who, in summer are in search of cool, fresh air, while in winter are in search of snow for skiing. Few people are aware that Etna is a popular location for skiers in winter. On some glorious days in winter, it's even possible to ski the frozen slopes in the morning enjoying a wonderful panoramic view of the Mediterranean, and then, the same afternoon, go and sunbathe on the beaches below! The "Playa", an endless sandy beach is found 15 km further, south of Catania. Charming fishing villages, such as Aci Trezza and Santa Maria La Scala (Acireale) are also near.
Other Activities: Excursion to volcano Mount Etna, the highest active volcano of Europe

It would be the ultimate swan song for long-serving
Leupen, a former engineer, was due to step down in March 2014 from the engineering and property group he has built up from a smallish Perth-based construction outfit with 3000 staff to a global engineering and property group with 56,000 employees.
He is now hinting he may stay on a little longer to oversee what could be a transformational deal for UGL, which is under pressure to unlock value for shareholders.
Leupen, a former engineer, was due to step down in March 2014 from the engineering and property group he has built up from a smallish Perth-based construction outfit with 3000 staff to a global engineering and property group with 56,000 employees.
After 12 years you cannot blame him for not wanting to go out on a low note. Despite the enormous growth in the company on his watch, the last few years have been tough for UGL.
Its shares, while up 7 per cent this morning on news the company is considering a de-merger, are still trading around financial-crisis levels. Profits have flat-lined and the last set of results were disappointing.
While engineering has been at the core of UGL's traditional operations, the world has changed with the growth story now firmly centred on property.
UGL has launched a strategic review of its corporate structure that will please its major shareholders keen to unlock some value out of the company. There are a number of options on the table but spinning off the fast-growing property portfolio will be at the top of the list.
The question is what will be left of UGL if property is spun-off either as a separately listed entity or sold to a private partner? In February, UGL was forced to cut jobs for the first time in a decade because of a slowdown in work from the resources sector.
The slowdown in the resources boom has ended the growth story in UGL's core business with the future now focused on property. That's not to say there are not still opportunities in engineering and UGL is understood to be looking at oil and gas opportunities and engineering acquisitions in the US.
UGL's acquisition of real estate services group DTZ in 2011 transformed the company. Property now accounts for almost 50 per cent of its earnings and a third of its $9.3 billion order book. There is still work to do on integrating DTZ with the rest of the business and spinning off property before it has competitive margins and branding could be dangerous.
Leupen is the key to the timing of any demerger and he is likely to stay on to see a deal through.

Brand Marchand managed to shoot the puck right over Robert Luongo's shoulder in the early part of Game 6, the Canadian goalie looked bewildered and shaky as it went in for a goal. Later on Milan Lucic managed to hit another goal right through the legs of the charismatic goalie just 35 seconds after the first shot, this was something that told the Bruins that the Vancouver's goalie was having a bad day. Las Vegas odds
Later on Andrew Ference had a shot which he took for another goal, which quite frankly rendered Luongo useless and put the Bruins back in the game for the Stanley Cup finals and the grand finale. The Canucks had the chance of raising the Stanley Cup on Monday night but the Bruins dug in and refused to allow any partying by the visitors. They managed to chase Luongo off the ice in the first period by evening the series with a great 5-2 victory. Sports scores
Marchand said "We wanted to make sure if we went down, we went down fighting,"
Luongo was definitely down but this meant that the Canucks' goalie was back on a flight to the West Coast for a critical game 7 on Wednesday night for the Stanley Cup.
Mark Recchi said "I'm proud of the guys," "We had our backs to the wall, we've been resilient all year, and we came out and had a great first period and did what we had to do tonight, and it comes down to Game 7. It's one game now." Recchi himself had three assists during the game.
This is the sixth time in the last 10 seasons that the finals have had to be stretched to their official limit. The home team has yet to lose in this series, Vancouver won three one goal games and Boston posted a great three blowout victories but the Bruins are riding more of momentum than anything else since their first title win back in 1972. Betting lines
Thomas said "Not too many people counted on us being at this point right now," "It's a great feeling. We battled hard tonight. We came to play, and it's coming down to one game. This is what we dream of, when you're little kids playing street hockey, you know, you're in Game 7."

The government has said the pricing schemes used in mobile phone services lack transparency and fairness, with bills taking up a rising share of household budgets.
Customers need more control over components of the plans, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters Monday.
His comments echoed those from a meeting the same day of a task force set up by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to look at ways of lowering the cost of wireless services.
Mobile phone bills have become too high and are putting a burden on family budgets, Abe said at an economic conference last month. Internal Affairs and Communications Minister Sanae Takaichi said the government will come up with a plan to reduce rates by the end of the year.
"There is a sense among the people that pricing plans do not take into consideration the needs of various users, especially the light users," Suga said. "The users only get to choose from pre-set pricing plans and the offerings among the top three carriers are the same."
Last month, Takaichi said there need to be more price plans that do not require all-you-can use data and voice, according to a transcript of a Sept. 29 news briefing on the ministry's website.
She also called on carriers to compete more on pricing, instead of using device discounts to attract customers.
Takaichi said the task force will also look into making it easier for mobile virtual network operators to enter competition.
The ministry's own research showed smartphone users in Tokyo had higher phone bills than their counterparts in Paris, Stockholm and Seoul, according to a report released in July.
In one case study, the monthly difference was as much as $32.
Shares of NTT Docomo Inc., the nation's largest mobile-phone carrier by subscriptions, KDDI Corp. and SoftBank Group Corp. fell after Abe said in September that mobile phone rates were too high.
Rate cuts may lower revenue at SoftBank and KDDI by about ¥10 billion this fiscal year and as much as ¥45 billion at Docomo, according to estimates by Nomura Holdings Inc.

Roy Ayers passed from our world into the loving hands of God, leaving silent footprints behind, but a solid trail of good work for mankind opening holes for sunshine to come through giving us the quality work Roy accomplished in his lifetime.
His life began in a very humble way, was given the boost in Pleasant City Junior High School by two very special teachers, Gail Williams and a Georgian lady who imbedded into his mind the reason for going to school and the way to apply yourself. He learned attitude, discipline, effort and responsibility from them. This he carried through high school and his entire life.
His first correspondence course while still in high school was from Deforests training, taking basic electricity. He took typing in high school with the hope that it would open doors in the future. His last correspondence course had need for his high school typing class. He completed a computer course in 2003.
His education was still going strong in his 89th year. If the opportunity could have fallen in place, he would have shared his skills with mankind, as he did with all of his night school classes and college classes that he worked into his world so that one day his talent and training would open doors.
In 1963, Roy received a call from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with a job offering showing many and interesting things to work with, things he could contribute to their space program. He accepted the challenge and soon found that he was calibrating very technical equipment. The space program often had visits from astronauts which put the human side to his work. He was helping his country and his people.
Helping his people was never far from his feeling for mankind. He and his wife, Wanda Snider Ayers, when their time permitted, very often had time to reach out to their community wherever they lived giving help to those needing it.
This tribute I am offering to Roy Ayers, who even in his final days wrote his own obituary to us, as a very humble person departing life, just as he entered life.
We, his close friends and family, want to share with the people of our world the special person we know, Roy Ayers. May God grant him eternal rest.
Bernard Turanchik

Did you know that your skin absorbs 21-100% of what you put on it? It's a big spread, but the point is that your skin always absorbs at least some of what it comes in contact with. That's why nicotine patches work so well. Walk backwards in your head…what do you put on your skin everyday? Water, moisturizers, soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, face powder, deodorant, toothpaste, lip stick or lip gloss, blush, foundation…need I go on? The average woman puts a dozen products on her skin every day. Men? You're up there too. It's a bit shocking when you realize what a cocktail you slather on yourself on a regular basis…and you thought you didn't have a drinking problem.
Luckily, enough people are starting to pay attention to the fact that there are toxic chemicals in synthetic body care products that are best avoided. Navigating the world of chemicals isn't easy, but there's help. You can use the ThinkDirty app to scan the UPC of your body care products and it will give you a safety rating. You can also refer to Gillian Deacon's book, There's Lead in Your Lipstick. You are also welcome to ask us if you come across a ridiculous sounding ingredient and want to know what it is.
This is why we do what we do. Wash and moisturize with stuff you don't have to think twice about, you've got enough on your mind.

I had yet to find crab cakes like the ones I had in a tiny town in Maryland, an hour or two away from DC, until I made my own. To me, there's nothing like a good crab cake. And how do you know when it's good? When all you can taste is the sweetness of the crab with no fillers like breadcrumbs or mayonnaise to ruin the party. Why do I call these Carpe Diem crab cakes? A recent blog post I wrote for IMUSA has the answer.
Ready In: 20 minutes
You'll Need:
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup frozen corn kernels
8 oz. lump crab meat
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
lime and cilantro for garnish
Here's How:
1. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and pepper and cook until soft and light brown. Add the corn and cook another couple of minutes.
2. In a large bowl. combine the cooked onion, pepper and corn, crab meat, mustard, Old Bay seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Shape the crab into patties, making them as compact as you can. It should yield about two large crab cakes or four small ones. Carefully place them in the pan and cook for about five minutes on each side. Serve with cilantro and lime wedges.

While looking into why wysiwyg_filter seemed to be mysteriously stripping out img tags when it shouldn't, I've come across the issue that the module is hard to configure in code (e.g. in an installation profile).
I'm setting a variable for my input format something like this in my install profile:
variable_set('wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_raw_X', 'a[!href|target<_blank|title],
However, it became apparent that this was not working. I tracked this down to ./wysiwyg_filter.inc:79
function wysiwyg_filter_get_valid_elements($format, $parsed = FALSE) {
if ($parsed) {
if (!($valid_elements = variable_get('wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_parsed_'. $format, NULL))) {
$valid_elements = wysiwyg_filter_default_valid_elements();
$valid_elements = wysiwyg_filter_parse_valid_elements($valid_elements);
return $valid_elements;
// etc...
I'm not setting wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_parsed_X so the defaults are being used instead (which in my case meant no img elements showing up despite what looked like okay settings in my profile).
Tinkering with the settings in the admin form and hitting submit made my images appear, but not because of any changes I'd made - it's because the admin form's submit function is saving the parsed settings into the variable:
function wysiwyg_filter_settings_filter_submit($form, &$form_state) {
$format = $form_state['values']['format'];
// Save trimmed version of user input.
$valid_elements = trim($form_state['values']['wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_raw_'. $format]);
$form_state['values']['wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_raw_'. $format] = $valid_elements;
// Store an additional parsed version of valid_elements data.
$valid_elements = wysiwyg_filter_parse_valid_elements($valid_elements);
variable_set('wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_parsed_'. $format, $valid_elements);
// etc...
This means that it's harder to set up wysiwyg_filter in code than it might be. There are a couple of solutions:
1) save the parsed settings as well during the set up in code - however, the wysiwyg_filter_parse_valid_elements() function may not be available when the variables are being set, which is not very convenient.
2) tweak wysiwyg_filter_get_valid_elements to check whether there is a raw version of the settings when it finds there's no parsed version before falling back to defaults. It's calling wysiwyg_filter_parse_valid_elements() on the defaults anyway, so it wouldn't add much cost to do this check e.g.
if (!($valid_elements = variable_get('wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_parsed_'. $format, NULL))) {
$valid_elements = variable_get('wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_raw_'. $format, wysiwyg_filter_default_valid_elements());
$valid_elements = wysiwyg_filter_parse_valid_elements($valid_elements);
3) go one step further; to avoid parsing the settings on the fly over and again, when this situation arises parse them once and store the variable. e.g.
if (!($valid_elements = variable_get('wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_parsed_'. $format, NULL))) {
// There are no parsed settings for this format,
// check if we have the raw settings, if so parse and store them
if (is_string($raw_settings = variable_get('wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_raw_'. $format, FALSE))) {
$valid_elements = wysiwyg_filter_parse_valid_elements($raw_settings);
variable_set('wysiwyg_filter_valid_elements_parsed_'. $format, $valid_elements);
else {
$valid_elements = wysiwyg_filter_default_valid_elements();
$valid_elements = wysiwyg_filter_parse_valid_elements($valid_elements);
However, whilst it's desirable not to be eating up CPU and slowing everything down parsing the settings over and again, I'm not sure whether doing a variable_set here could have performance implications (e.g. a race condition or at least clearing the whole variable cache).
On the positive side, this should only happen once (barring aforementioned race conditions) when the raw variable has been set up in code, and the parsed version not yet stored.
You could argue that the parsed version should be stored as a cache_set really rather than a variable, but as it's unlikely to change very often...
Perhaps a less risky approach would be to go with the simple (2) solution above, but implement hook_cron to check for raw settings without corresponding parsed versions stored, and remedy the situation.

PLEASANT CITY -- "Go Tell It On the Mountain!" Vacation Bible School at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church June 16-20, offered games, faith development, Bible study, singing, crafts and lessons from Veggie Tales, made for an important week for children from kindergarten through high school.
Thanks to the leadership of Lucy Heddleson and Pastor Mike Poole, aided by a host of volunteers from each congregation in the Pleasant City Lutheran Parish.
The students in the group of third through fifth graders took on the task of demonstrating Christian and American generosity to other kids, who may like reading as much as they do, scouring rooms, closets, attics and basements for children's books they enjoyed but have outgrown, and donated them to the Pleasant City Food Pantry to add to the informal book exchange offered by the Pantry to its client families. Slipped in between the pages are personal messages of love, thanks, trust, joy and good will from one child to another. About 100 books were donated.
The week ended as the Pleasant City Volunteer Firefighters hosed the kids down in a riot of laughter, sliding on grass, and other antics.
The children at the Pleasant City Lutheran Parish Vacation Bible School at Mt. Zion Church last week included Maggie Presnell, Grace Wickander, Damen Launder, Easton Eibel, Karly Launder, Dylan Hooper, Braden Wheeler, Brady McManaway, Mikey Stahl, Joel Weigand, Gillian Wood, Sarah Clifford and teacher Tom Haugsby.

PC Ian Terry death: Officers go on trial over fatal shooting
Two officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have gone on trial over the fatal shooting of an unarmed officer on a training exercise.
PC Ian Terry, 32, was killed in June 2008 during police firearms training at a disused warehouse in Newton Heath.
At Manchester Crown Court, the two officers responsible for the training exercise were accused of breaching health and safety laws.
Both officers, who have been granted anonymity, deny the charges.
The court heard that the officers had made changes to the training package without seeking authority or drawing up a new risk assessment.
PC Terry, from Burnley in Lancashire, was carrying an unloaded handgun while playing the role of a criminal fleeing in a car.
The father-of-two, who was not wearing body armour, was hit from a distance of about 12in (30.5cm) by a blank round of specialist ammunition not designed to kill.
The officers, a sergeant and a constable, have each denied one count of a breach of Section 7 of the Health and Safety at Work Act.
The section requires employees to take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and others.
The trial continues.

Mechanix Gloves: Unisex High Visibility ORHD Padded Palm Safety Work Gloves
Serious protection for your hands...
By: Cah30127
I work as a mechanic and quite often my hands are very sore and tired after a day of changing truck tires mainly from running a 3/4" or 1" impact removing truck lug nuts, I swear these gloves made a huge difference in my day. They have some gel padding in the palms that really absorb the vibration from the impact and for lack of a better word "armor" on the back side to protect your hands from falling items and such...they are sort of like steel toe boots for your hands. I am not able to wear them while doing more tedious jobs due to the features that make them so great for heavier jobs also limit your dexterity when working with small parts that you need to feel. I will recommend them and will purchase them again.

The general consensus is that, out in Zimbabwe where Sri Lanka are steamrollering their acquiescent hosts, Test cricket is being sullied.
Quite what Zimbabwe's looming series against Australia will do to the sport's reputation does not bear thought.
Tim May, the Australian players' representative, is presently trying to get the International Cricket Council to stop the uneven bout before it starts.
May, a former Test cricketer, reckons the player crisis in the crippled southern African country "makes cricket look stupid", and he is not alone.
India captain Sourav Ganguly has echoed a familiar May refrain, calling for a two-tier championship system to preserve the "competitive edge of Test cricket".
To Peter Sleep, a former team-mate of May's, the gap among the 10 Test-playing nations was large enough before Zimbabwe's 15 rebels were sacked, leaving the national team devoid of genuine first-class talent.
"There were no easy matches when I played but there are now," the former leg-spinner, who played the last of his 14 Tests in 1990, told BBC Sport.
"That's because the ICC has let the weaker nations in, and I can understand why because they're trying to get cricket played around the world.
"But the 10-team Test championship format needs to be looked at. Test cricket is being cheapened enough at the moment and I think the standard is poor to be honest.
"At the moment, Kenya are probably better than Bangladesh, and maybe even Zimbabwe. But do you let them in?"
The concerns within the cricket fraternity are obvious, but they are held at a time when the ICC contemplates giving Kenya Test status and boasts proudly of the next World Cup holding more teams than ever before.
Sleep has joined a growing list advocating a divisional system, which would replace the current set-up which demands each full ICC member face each other home and away every five years.
May has tabled his ideas to the ICC - as well as his plans for a one-day shake-up - but hitherto the ruling body is unmoved.
"There's a way around it, and I think a two-tier solution is it," Sleep says.
"The promotion/relegation system works well in football. Why couldn't we do it in cricket?
"You would get better cricket and it would be more competitive. Teams would have something to play for."
Sleep believes cricket's name is being tarnished, and says the ICC has a case to answer.
"If I were the ICC, I would put a ban on Zimbabwe so that no one goes there until they sort out their problems with politics and other matters," he reasons.
"They've just let things go and hoped things would work out by themselves.
"They clearly haven't and they've got to take some of the blame by letting things ramble on.
"I don't think getting belted by Sri Lanka and Australia will help Zimbabwean cricket at all."
Sleep does not envy his Australian Test successors, nor the reluctant England cricketers who look destined to tour Zimbabwe later this year.
"With all the politics in Zimbabwe at the moment, it would be difficult for anybody to go there.
"I'm sure none of the Australian Test team really wants to go, and England will have the same problem later on.
"But it's harder to get in the team than get out and a lot of their places would be in jeopardy.
"They don't want to go but they don't want to lose their spot."
Of the Aussies, only Stuart MacGill has pulled out of the Zimbabwe tour - but there are more who would like to follow suit, if only to save the name of the game.

Later this year the NHS will introduce a new form which could cause confusion and poor communication between families and medical staff.
The form will replace controversial 'do not resuscitate' (DNR) orders. DNRs give doctors the right, without consulting a patient or a patient's family or carers, to let a patient die.

There was a high-stepping guard of honour with fixed bayonets, a 60-strong marching band and a 19-gun salute in Tiananmen Square.
Her ceremonial welcome to Beijing's Great Hall of the People on Tuesday evening was an impressive affair, rich with symbolism.
It showed that after four years of difficult relations, Australia and China had finally found a new equilibrium.
In the lead-up to Gillard's visit there were no such hopes. The complaint from foreign policy watchers was that Australia had "fallen off the page" and become invisible in China.
That is no longer the case.
Gillard was the second item – after the inflation numbers – on CCTV's main 7pm news bulletin on Tuesday and was front page news in the People's Daily and the China Daily on Wednesday.
But while the Chinese literally rolled out acres of red carpet for Gillard, there were also a few less than subtle messages delivered during her meeting with Premier Li Keqiang.
The Premier opened the bilateral exchange, in the Great Hall, by mentioning his 2009 visit to Australia.
In the few short minutes the media was allowed access, Li reminded the Australian delegation it was China that had taken the initiative to put a floor under the relationship when it was spiralling out of control.
Li's impromptu visit, following the jailing of Rio Tinto iron ore executive Stern Hu and the backlash against Chinese foreign investment in Australia, had allowed former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to save face.
It enabled Rudd to show it was the Chinese who were coming to Australia to repair the damage.
That was a big concession from Beijing and Li perhaps wanted to remind Gillard of this. The resulting statement in 2009 said both sides wanted a "stable relationship", which insinuated that this had not been the case in previous years.
The signing of a "strategic partnership" agreement by Gillard and Li, over a glass of sparkling wine, on Tuesday took the relationship beyond the 2009 "peace treaty".
It means Australia is now one of only four countries to have such an agreement with China, after Germany, Russia and Great Britain.
The deal will involve an annual leaders meeting, complete with a work program, but does not mean China's premier will come to Australia every second year. The meeting could take place on the sidelines of forums like the East Asia Summit, which is somewhat less appealing. There will also be an annual program between the Australian foreign minister, trade minister and treasurer with their Chinese counterparts.
The value of such formalised contact can be seen by taking a quick glance at the Chinese media on Wednesday. The official Xinhua news agency reported Li also met with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto just an hour before Gillard was welcomed.
Around the same time a lower-ranked leader met with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and Mongolia's leader Zandaakhuu Enkhbold. That's four leaders in Beijing on a single day and demonstrates how the world is clamouring for China's attention. They will be followed by US Secretary of State John Kerry over the weekend.
As Australian diplomats constantly remind the press corp, "access is a competitive game in China".
Thanks to the Strategic Partnership Australia no longer has to fight for such access, but has a seat at the table.
And so Gillard can rightly leave China feeling pleased with her efforts, but it's worth noting that Beijing was also boasting of a big win.
The Global Times newspaper, which often reflects Beijing's more hawkish foreign policy views, said China had taken a big step in beginning to lure Australia away from the US and Japan by using its economic muscle.
"This is the strategic victory for China," said the paper's editorial on Wednesday.

Microsoft chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates yesterday presented a host of consumer-oriented technologies at CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas. But his keynote address touched on just one previously unannounced product.
Windows Media Center Extender, a technology that will wirelessly link computers running Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition with televisions, headlined as the only really new product announcement from Microsoft in Gates' sixth year keynoting at CES.
Media Center PCs allow people to use a remote control to provide access via TV to photos, video and music stored on their PC, as well as selected internet services such as movie downloads. The Windows Media Center Extender removes the need to physically connect the TV to the PC or even have it in the same room.
Although the extender is new for Microsoft, it is not a new idea. Sony and HP introduced similar products last year, while earlier yesterday morning Philips unveiled a flat-screen television, home theatre system and extender boxes that do much the same as Microsoft's Windows Media Extender.
Microsoft hardware partners including Gateway, Dell and Samsung will sell the extenders, which should be on the market by the end of the year and will come in the shape of set-top boxes or built into televisions. The boxes should cost between $300 and $600 (£165 and £350).
HP and Gateway will offer TVs that incorporate the technology, Gates said. One HP flat-screen TV with the extender built in was demonstrated on stage.
Microsoft will offer an Xbox Media Center Extender kit for its Xbox game console to connect to Media Center PCs. This kit, which will work much like the Xbox Music Mixer, is expected to sell for under £50, according to Microsoft.
Gates also demonstrated a Microsoft Portable Media Center, previously known as Media2Go. He announced that when the portable audio and video players become available later this year, Windows Media Player will be updated with synchronisation technology. Media2Go was renamed Portable Media Center last year and release of the devices was pushed back by a year.
Also expected was the announcement of watches with Spot (smart personal objects technology) and the MSN Direct service for those watches. Spot uses a portion of FM broadcast radio networks to deliver snippets of information about weather, news, stock prices and sports scores to wristwatches equipped with the technology.
Gates tied all the new products into Microsoft's "seamless computing" vision, whereby various devices work well together and information flows seamlessly form one device to another.
"The home is going digital," Gates said, adding software plays a key role in a fast-moving world of flat-screen TVs, broadband internet access and digital still and video cameras.

Xavier Garbajosa
Xavier Garbajosa (born 5 December 1976) is a retired French rugby player.
Garbajosa was born on 5 December 1976 in Toulouse. He plays in the back-line as a winger, center or full-back. He spent most of his career playing for the Stade Toulousain and moved to the Aviron Bayonnais in the French Top 14 club competition in 2007. With Toulouse, he won the French championship in 1999 and 2001, as well as the European Cup in 2003 and 2005.. Between 2001 and 2003, he was the top-scorer in the French Top 14 for 3 consecutive years.
He was a member of France's squad at the 1999 Rugby World Cup (in which France were the runners-up), and notably participated in the epic semi-final against New Zealand. He was selected in the French squad for the 2003 Rugby World Cup but had to leave the team before the beginning of the competition due to an injury. He was considered one of the most talented French players of his generation (he was part of the team which won the junior world championship in 1995) but his career was disturbed by recurring knee injuries. He played for the French national team 32 times, making his debut in 1998 in a Test against Ireland, and scored 7 tries (35 points). With the French national team, he won two Grand Slams in 1998 and 2002.

BROOKSVILLE — In the race for the 5th Congressional District seat, Democrat Jim Piccillo and Republican Sheriff Rich Nugent are talking a lot about hot-button issues like health care, Social Security, immigration and, of course, the economy.
They share some similar views, too. Neither likes the health care reform law much, though Nugent says he wants to repeal it, and Piccillo says he wants to help make it better. Neither man supports amnesty for illegal immigrants or the cap-and-trade emissions control policy. Both say Congress needs to stick to the pay-as-you-go method of financing.
Neither of the two men hoping to take over the seat held for eight years by Republican Ginny Brown-Waite is talking much about the social issues that typically divide the two parties. Some of these issues may be left to state legislatures, others decided by the courts, but the St. Petersburg Times asked both men where they stand on topics ranging from abortion to medical marijuana.
While there are some nuanced similarities in their views, there are stark differences, too.
Both men support capital punishment. Both oppose gay marriage, but Piccillo, 36, supports legally recognized civil unions. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, and I strongly believe that," Nugent said.
Nugent, 59, said he has never considered offering benefits for same-sex partners at the Sheriff's Office and probably never would. Piccillo said if he were in Nugent's place, he would make such an offer.
Nugent says Roe vs. Wade should be overturned but maintains that abortions should be allowed in the case of rape, incest or the health of the mother. Piccillo says the landmark case should stand, but he does not support late-term abortions unless the health of the mother is at risk.
Republicans last week blocked a Democratic effort to repeal the ban on gays serving openly in the military. Nugent, who served in the Illinois Air National Guard, said the current don't-ask-don't-tell policy seems to be working, and said the debate should await the outcome of a Pentagon survey of service members on the repeal.
"If it's not broken, why are you trying to fix something, other than for personal beliefs?" Nugent said.
Piccillo, an Army veteran who owns a small-business consulting firm, says the policy is fundamentally flawed and agrees with a sentiment offered by Joint Chiefs Chairman Mike Mullen.
"We have an oath that these men and women swear to their country, which includes honor and loyalty, but they need to lie about who they are," Piccillo said.
Asked whether he supports the rights of gay couples to adopt, Nugent would not offer a direct answer. He said the states should have control over the issue and that he would respect the decision of the courts.
An appeals court ruled last week that a 30-year-old Florida law that prohibits adoption by gay men and lesbians is unconstitutional. Piccillo contends that was the right call. "We shouldn't be using someone's sexual orientation to stereotype their abilities as parents," Piccillo said.
Creationism should not be taught in schools, said Piccillo, a Catholic. Nugent, a Christian, disagrees, saying he's comfortable with the theory being mentioned in science class.
"I think that's a positive thing to expose children to multiple ideas," Nugent said.
Nugent says he sees no problem with the federal government funneling tax dollars to faith-based groups to provide community service programs. Piccillo disagrees.
"I don't want the federal government involved with churches," he said.
Neither man supports the legalization of marijuana, but Piccillo said the decision should be left up to the states. He also supports medical marijuana if it's properly regulated, another decision that he maintains should be decided at the state level.
Medical marijuana is a sham, Nugent said. "It's another way to skirt around the system," he said. "You desensitize the public, and it's easier to legalize the drug."
Both agree the federal government needs to re-evaluate its strategy on the war on drugs. Nugent said more money needs to go to states to treat addiction, and Piccillo said too many dollars that could help local agencies with enforcement are going to fight drug wars in South America.
Piccillo and Nugent agree that the government needs to continue rooting out fraud and waste in the welfare program. And they agree with members of Congress who maintain that unemployment benefits should be subject to the pay-as-you-go philosophy, too.
"I'll go farther and say that for every $1 you spend, you should be looking at $1.25 in cuts," Piccillo said. "Then we can get our budget in line without taking a battle-ax to some of our programs."

Fantasy Beat
Options In The Outfield
Three outfielders are set to return to action (or have already) after missing time to the disabled list. All will resume their starting roles, but that doesn't mean all three are viable options.
Begin in San Diego, where Will Venable returns after missing time due to a lower back strain. The Padres owns a lofty .323 BABIP, yet puts the ball in play in just 55% of his plate appearances. That's Prince Fielder or Adam Dunn territory, which would be OK, but Venable doesn't have the pop to make it so. The low contact rate means his overall average is a depressed (and depressing) .238. Still, Venable is doing a couple of things that may provide some value to fantasy owners. First, he's running - a lot. He's attempting to steal bases in over 22% of his opportunities and with 14 steals in 17 attempts, he's been successful 82% of the time. While he doesn't have the "pop" of a Fielder or Dunn, with eight home runs and a .178 ISO, his power remains modest. His 11.6% HR/FB rate aligns with his career rate. Mix it all together and his .273

Lily Allen is reportedly being considered as the frontwoman to Nike's next big advertising campaign.
British pop star Lily Allen reportedly is in close talks to be the new frontwoman to Nike's new advertising campaign.
Rumors on the street say, the singer has received dozens of free gifts from Nike while the sportswear giant is considering on the possibility of using the outspoken star as a face of their future projects.
On such encounter, Allen simply commented, "I wouldn't do things I think might jeopardize. I wouldn't do Coca-Cola. But I really like Nike trainers. I'm quite open about the fact that it's like a guilty pleasure for me, even with the sweatshop aspect."

Lille clinched their first Ligue 1 title in 57 years, despite failing to beat 10-man PSG who had Guillaume Hoarau sent off in a tempestous match.
Lille failed to beat the 10-man of Paris Saint-Germain, but the solitary point was still enough for them to clinch their first Ligue 1 title in 57 years after a fiery 2-2 draw at the Parc des Princes.
It looked to be a procession to the title when the visitors' opened the scoring within five minutes through Ludovic Obraniak. After much attacking endeavour, the hosts' equalised in controversial circumstance at the end of the first half with Guillaume Hoarau netting.
A match filled with temper boiled over a minute into the second period with Hoarau questionably sent off and PSG coach Antoine Koumbouare sent to the stands soon after. The Dogues quickly restored their lead through Moussa Sow, but Les Parisiens' fine resilience saw them equalise midway through the second half through Mathieu Bodmer in a lively encounter.
In an exciting opening, both sides carved out early attacking opportunities to set the tone with the home side in particular hitting the ground firmly after a disappointing midweek defeat. Despite that, Lille seized the initiative and broke the deadlock in the fifth minute.
Obraniak, who broke PSG hearts with an 89th minute winner in the two sides' meeting in last week's Coupe de France final, was to be the enemy in the capital again. The Polish midfielder latched on to a pass from leading scorer Sow after a counter attack, and fired the ball past a wrong-footed Gregory Coupet.
PSG, who along with LOSC are Ligue 1's best entertainers this season, immediately issued a response with numerous endeavours into the opposite half. Hoarau flashed a header at Landreau before the French international's audacious overhead kick surprisingly flew tantalisingly wide of Landreau's left post.
The home side were unrelenting in their onslaught on the Lille goal, yet they somehow couldn't find the equaliser to whet the appetite of a ferocious and expectant home crowd. Ludovic Giuly smashed in a shot which deflected off Aurelien Chedjou and onto the crossbar after good work by Mathieu Bodmer with Les Parisien's frustration growing after a period of domination.
Rudi Garcia's side were on the ropes as they were increasingly pushed back to defend their slender lead. Mevlut Erding spurned another gilt-edged chance by failing to connect with an in-swinging cross from Nene.
The high attacking tempo deployed left Antoine Koumbouare's men vulnerable in the middle, to which Yohan Cabaye took advantage of with a series of fine tackles and defence-opening passes. However, the front three, who have never netted against PSG failed to break their duck as an efficient rearguard held out.
An equaliser did arrive in controversial yet deserving circumstances. A quick free kick from Nene caught out a static defence, and Hoarau, unmarked powered in the equaliser in the third minute of injury time, despite only two signalled. Chaos ensued on the touchline as a furious Rudi Garcia voiced his anger to the fourth official, with various Lille players vocal towards referee Lionel Jaffredo as the half-time whistle eventually went in the fifth minute of added time after a lively first period.
A tempestous end to the first half boiled over immediately into the second with another questionable refereeing decision. Hoarau, on a yellow, was adjudged to have simulated his fall and was duly shown a second yellow card upon uproar from the Parc des Princes crowd, with the scorer leaving the field in tears.
Antoine Koumbouare was then subsequently expelled to the stands by Jaffredo after an outburst at his opposite number Garcia on the touchline with the match turning sour by this point. Unaffected by the heated exchanges, Les Dogues took the lead soon after in the 59th minute.
A flowing move, briefly interrupted by Sylvain Armand's lunge on Eden Hazard fell to Mathieu Debuchy, as the defender's shot was easily converted in by Moussa Sow to give his side the lead and return the striker to the top of the Ligue 1 charts with 22 goals in a stellar campaign.
The numerical disadvantage failed to throw off the 10 men hosts, and with their hopes of Champions League qualification increasingly slipping away after hitting the woodwork twice through Giuly's clever pullback, they found themselves on level terms in spectacular fashion. A cross was poorly headed away, with Bodmer collecting the ball and turning Adil Rami and Debuchy and firing a shot in off the crossbar to restore parity.
The match fizzled out after the final period was littered with fouls, as both sides became content at sharing the spoils with substitute Tulio de Melo wasting a decent opportunity by heading over the bar.
Lille's crowning moment arrived at the full time whistle as the emotion from the visiting players became visible. The point sees Rudi Garcia's side secure a memorable league and cup double for the first time since 1946. For PSG, Champions League football is still alive despite looking unlikely to qualify at one stage as they sit just two points behind Lyon with just one more round to go.
