I swear sometimes it's as if people think these guys never played versus enforcers or faced any type of attempted physical intimidation until getting to the NHL.
Nobody is scared of playing versus Colton Orr.
It has nothing to do with preventing injuries either.
It's all about answering the attempted intimidation. A guy like Orr or Neil can talk smack to our guys all game, doesn't mean our team will lose focus, hide in their shells, or lose a game. Heck, I'm pretty sure the star players would lose to play versus guys like Orr more often, they would absolutely dominate them.
But, it's always good to have someone on the team that can step on the ice and just shut up the guy.
Important to note that sometimes, no matter how much they get their face bashed in, some players will keep yapping away a la Barnaby.
Teams have intimidators cause they intimidate, that's pretty simple. Having these guys, it makes the team more couragous like the Leafs, they seem to have more team spirit since they recalled guys like Orr. And it intimidate the opposite club, making them lose their concentration. Neil is the master at it. He's feared by pretty much everybody and he knows it and when he comes at you or just fight someone, it elevates his team when they're not in it. Just like when he did so on the first game against the Habs. He fought Prust and it was a game changer for the Sens, it gave them confidence.

So I was on the bus today and I noticed that this really, REALLY cute guy kept looking at me. Constantly. To the point where it got kind of awkward. Whenever I caught him, he'd look away. For example, he'd look down on his phone and then catch a peek at me then when I would look at him, he'd hold eye contact for like 2 seconds then look away. Why was he doing this? I know what most of you will say: "he finds you attractive" or something along the lines of that...but the thing is, I would NEVER expect a guy who is as good looking as him to be looking at me. People tell me I'm pretty and all and I somewhat believe it but this guy was like...Brad Pitt #2 hahahaha. Yes, I know, my self-esteem is a bit low. I'm working on it :) Maybe other people see you as more attractive than you see yourself? Hmm, I don't know..=/
Whenever I caught him, he'd look away.
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
It's not uncommon for people to see others as better looking than they see themselves. Maybe he has the same self-confidence issues, but thinks the same thing about you. :)11|00|0
But when guys do the kind of staring this guy did....does it ALWAYS mean he thinks you're attractive?
It almost always does.
What Girls Said 1
Awww He sounds cute.He must have been extremely shy,I should know because I do the same thing to guys all the time. Even tho you have low self-esteem. The best way to have gotten to know him wouldve been to to work up the courage and talk to to him,because he probably thinks you're too pretty for him to step to you :]00|00|0

A little over a year ago, Naquasia LeGrand was working at two different KFC locations in New York, her energy focused solely on making ends meet. Last Thursday, the 22-year old came marching into the city's Foley Square at the head of a column of striking fast-food workers accompanied by the sound of chants, horns and beating drums.
She remembers feeling scared the first time she joined a strike. "But then once I got out there and saw the people standing with me, I was like – 'Wow, I don't know what I'm doing, but this is amazing.'"
Ms. LeGrand's transformation is part of a minor revolution brewing at the lowest end of the earnings scale in the U.S. Over the past year, a small but growing group of fast-food workers across the country have begun agitating for higher wages and the chance to organize. Their protests are the most visible component of a broader push to raise the minimum wage, which at the federal level currently stands at $7.25 (U.S.) an hour, or roughly $15,000 a year.
Similar demands are popping up across the country. In the small city that is home to Seattle's airport, voters recently approved a measure to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Last week, the municipal council of the District of Columbia unanimously endorsed a wage floor of $11.50 an hour for the U.S. capital, mirroring moves by two neighbouring counties. And in California, legislators passed a law in September to raise the state's minimum wage to $10 an hour in stages by 2016.
The new attention to the struggle of the country's lowest-paid workers reflects one of the more dissatisfying aspects of the current economic recovery. Since 2009, 54 per cent of the new jobs created in the U.S. have been low-wage positions, according to an analysis by EMSI, an employment research firm. In the ten occupations where job growth has been the strongest, nine of them pay average wages of less than $14 an hour, it said.
"What you're seeing is the birth of a social movement around wages in America," said David Rolf, the president of a Seattle-based chapter of the Service Employees International Union, which played a key role in the recent ballot measure in the city of SeaTac. The four-year old economic recovery is one that "working people have heard about on TV but have yet to experience."
President Barack Obama reiterated his support for a higher minimum wage in a major speech on income inequality last week. "We know that there are airport workers, and fast-food workers, and nurse assistants, and retail salespeople who work their tails off and are still living at or barely above poverty," he said.
Mr. Obama and Democratic lawmakers favour a proposal to lift the national minimum wage to $10.10 and tie future increases to inflation, but they face stiff opposition from Republicans and trade associations.
Last week, the International Franchise Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released a survey of companies that suggests a significant majority of employers would make "adverse" personnel decisions if the minimum wage were raised even to $9 an hour. Such a policy would ultimately "reduce economic opportunities for low-skilled employees," said Randy Johnson, a senior official at the Chamber of Commerce, in a statement.
Surveys find widespread support for increasing the minimum wage. A November poll by Gallup showed that 76 per cent supported boosting the wage floor to $9 an hour. "Broadly speaking, the public does not view this through an ideological lens," said Gary Burtless, a labour economist at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. "They generally support raising the minimum wage when it is below its historical norm, which is where it is now." Adjusted for inflation, the U.S. minimum wage peaked in 1968, when it stood at the equivalent of $10.60 in today's dollars.
The fast-food workers have a clear demand: pay of $15 an hour, which they say represents a living wage. Kendall Fells, one of the organizers of the protests, said he hoped the agitation would goad politicians to action. "It's easier to move policy and legislation when the street heat is there," he said.
Fast Food Forward, the group coordinating the workers, has support from a major service workers union as well as community groups and religious leaders. Last Thursday, fast-food workers in over 100 cities walked off the job, Mr. Fells said, though not in the types of numbers that would have impacted the functioning of the stores.
"The job seems like much more of a career to these workers," he said. The typical person involved in the strikes is over twenty years old, has at least one child and receives some kind of government aid. Researchers from the University of California Berkeley recently found that more than half of the families of front-line fast-food workers use at least one form of public assistance, at an annual cost to taxpayers of $7-billion.
Adam Haynie, 21, was one of those joining last Thursday's strike. He works at a Wendy's in Brooklyn for the minimum wage. He has two children, lives with his parents and can't afford the books for the classes he's taking in the hopes of one day working as a technician for New York's subway system. His hours were recently cut back and his latest weekly paycheck came to about $125. "Everybody has the same problem," he said. "How easy is it to raise children on $7.25 an hour?"
For Ms. LeGrand, the KFC worker, there was no turning back after her first organizing meeting, where she learned how much her company's CEO earned last year (his total compensation was almost $30-million in 2012, according to Forbes magazine). "Our eyes were opened up to how these corporations were using us and abusing us and making all this money off our backs," she said.
Earlier, Ms. LeGrand was planning to continue her classes in computer graphics. Now, however, she's mulling a change in direction and looking to study sociology. "I want to change my major to get into the political world," she said.Report Typo/Error

|Daidoji Anitano
Daidoji Anitano was a yojimbo of the Crane Clan. He was servant of the Hatamoto at Ryoko Owari Toshi, Doji Tsumetsu. [1]
Crab lands Edit
Anitano fought at many battles against the Crab. He found a fine sword in the swamplands near the Crab border of the Shadowlands. [2]
Death Edit
In 1120 he was attacked inside the Inn of the Orange Blossom by Chizaro no Oni alongside his charges Doji Juzo and Doji Usiina. Anitano was quickly killed and Usiina also died from wounds taken in the fray. [3]
Sword Edit
The sword he found in the Shadowlands could be the item the oni was seeking. [2] It was the Blade of Secrets, a powerful nemuranai with the power to kill an oni. The blade had been stolen by Togashi Ikyoto, an ise zumi who owed a debt to Whisper, a city merchant, who had the blade. [4]
After death Edit
A group of bandits attacked the crematorium where his corpse would be burnt, but the assailants were defeated by a group of samurai. [5]

Stoke City grab a 1-0 home win over Arsenal
Ramadan Sobhi came on for the final 20 minutes as Stoke grabbed...
KingFut.com's Omar Morsy recaps all the action from Groups G & H of the 2014 World Cup.
Germany kicked-off their 18th appearance in the World Cup finals (joint-second with Italy, and two behind hosts Brazil) with an emphatic victory over Group G rivals Portugal, to take the top spot in the group. The Germans started the game on the offensive, and Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Patricio's careless clearance was almost converted by Khedira, but the Real Madrid midfielder somehow managed to miss an open goal. Nevertheless, Die Mannschaft took the lead in the 12th minute thanks to Thomas Muller's penalty, which referee Mazic awarded after Gotze was pulled back by full-back Perreira inside the penalty area.
After the opener, Germany further increased the pressure on Portugal's goal, and despite Gotze's wastefulness, they managed to double their lead in the 32nd minute when Mats Hummels charged into the Portugal area to guide home a header from team-mate Kroos' corner. The worst was yet to come for Portugal however, as centre-back Pepe experienced one of his not-uncommon moments of madness; after Muller made a little too much out of Pepe's trailing arm touching his face, the Real Madrid man inexplicably headbutted his German counterpart as he sat on the ground, causing the referee to promptly brandish the red card.
Just as the first half was drawing to a close, Muller forced the ball past Patricio for his second goal of the game. The second half was less eventful, although Portugal felt they should have had a penalty of their own after Schalke defender Howedes appeared to trip Eder as he ran into the area.
The fourth and final goal came 12 minutes from the final whistle with Muller tapping in the rebound after Patricio failed to catch – or clear – a low cross, as the Bayern Munich midfielder completed the first hat-trick of the tournament.
In the second Group G game, Ghana faced off against the USA, in a game where both teams were hoping to stake their claim for 2nd place in the group. The Western Africans got off to the worst possible start by conceding the fifth fastest goal in World Cup history; Clint Dempsey skipped past defender Boye, and his shot made its way into the back of the net after just 30 seconds.
James Kwesi Appiah's men enjoyed the majority of possession throughout the game but failed to make a breakthrough until the 80th minute, when Marseille forward Andre Ayew levelled the score with a powerful shot from inside the area. A comeback wasn't on the cards for Ghana, however, and heartbreak was in store for the Black Stars highest ranked team when youngster John Brooks scored the winner for Jurgen Klinsmann's men in the 86th minute.
On Tuesday, the last of the first round of group stage matches kicked-off as Africa's fifth and final representative in Brazil wasted a 1-0 lead at half-time to lose 2-1 to dark horses Belgium. The Desert Foxes took a surprise lead in the 25th minute after Valencia midfielder Sofiane Feghouli won and converted a penalty to send the travelling support into fits of ecstasy.
The Algerians managed to hold the scoreline until late into the second half when substitute Marouane Fellaini got a touch to Kevin De Bruyne's in-swinging cross and crashed the ball off of the underside of the crossbar and into the helpless Mbolhi's net. Minutes later, the comeback was complete as Eden Hazard's smart ball to Mertens sent the Napoli winger through on goal, and he gave the keeper no chance, unleashing a ferocious shot into the back of the net to get Belgium off to a winning start.
Group H's second game was assigned the late kick-off spot on Tuesday, and both sides labored to a 1-1 draw that gave neither of them first place in the standings. The South Koreans struck first, when substitute Lee Keun-Ho shot tamely at CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev from 25 yards, who inadvertently fumbled the ball into his own net instead of making an easy catch. It wasn't Akinfeev's first error of the game – he almost awarded the opposition two easy rebounds at the start of the second half – but it was by far his gravest, and Russia coach Fabio Capello responded by bringing attacker Alexandr Kerzakhov into the game.
That very substitution bore fruit just a couple of minutes later; quick passing and a slice of good fortune allowed Kerzakhov to slide the ball past Suwon Bluewings 'keeper Jung Sung-Ryong despite having his back to goal, giving Russia a share of the points and allowing Belgium to remain at the top of the group standings.

Best RPG Series Of All Time
The Contenders: Page 6
New Great battle system, good story, good characters
Well I only remember one Megaman RPG other than the obvious, Megaman Legends, and it was Megaman x: Command mission. I loved that game so much.V 2 Comments
A really fun action RPG that doesn't get enough recognition today. It may have looked like a common platformer but it was so much more than that. It had great music, a compelling story, and you could improve Pit as you played. Sure it was difficult but you had a real sense of accomplishment when you beat the game.
This series returns after 20 years, bringing humor and wit in the new action packed 3ds game. It is an incredibly savvy parody, with a great cast of supporting characters who provide constantly humorous dialogue while you play, similar to Portal.
I'm not sure if this is an RPG game but it is definitely the best game on this list. It was a very fun game to beat and Pit is the best Nintendo Character, Luigi's a close second though.
I've never played but Samus is pretty

Me, Myself and I- December
What was your favorite gift given to you as a child?
Christmas is almost here, what is that one Christmas song you could listen to on repeat?
What are a few of the items on your Christmas list this year?This year I wouldn't mind receiving.......a new IPhone 4 case and Burberry London perfume. Other than that I will be happy with anything.
Do you and your family have any special holiday traditions? Explain.When I was a little, my brother and I would get to open one present on Christmas Eve (usually PJs) and then Christmas morning we'd open the rest. Stockings were always first (and still are) and then we open the others. Another tradition involved the rest of the family. Traditionally we would spend before Christmas with my Dad's family, Christmas eve/day with our little family, and after Christmas with my Mom's family. That tradition has pretty much stuck for awhile now! :)
Which do you prefer: wrapping paper or gift bags? Why?Wrapping paper for sho! There's nothing like un-wrapping a present. Plus I love wrapping in wrapping paper. Finding just the right paper is so fun! And so is finding cute ribbon and little extras to add to it!
Here is my wrapping paper this year:
Sadie thought she was helping. She wasn't. She was doing the exact opposite actually.

Suzanne isn't sitting next to Ariel cuz she hates meeting characters.
But hello it's ARIEL!
The real life Ariel.
And if the four of us were still roommates, this would be mantle picture.
You know, for our mantle.
It was SO GOOD seeing this girl.
She's one of my favorites.
While we were at Magic Kingdom, the Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade that is on ABC, on you guessed it, Christmas Day was being filmed.
Are any of your shocked to learn that it isn't filmed live on Christmas day?
We saw Maria Mennunous and Samantha Brown.
We posed like the toy soldiers.
We took pictures in front of Cinderella's Castle.
Yeah, we're fun.
Oh and those are our heffalumps.
Had a blast in the New Fantasyland.
Rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Walked around the World Showcase at Epcot!
And finally showed all the other guests that we've got....

What is Selfish?
The definition of selfish is "lacking consideration for other people; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure" Such a negative connotation, not many words hurt as much as being called selfish.
The most recent topic we've been discussing in my group practice has been self love, self compassion, taking care of our own needs, being our own best friend and being kind to ourselves. Often people will respond with reactions such as "It sounds so selfish"
How can looking after your own needs be selfish? Why is it that we have lost our connection with ourselves and become totally focused on fulfilling everyone else's needs?
Selfishness is the very nature of our human existence, without our instinct to look after ourselves we would not have survived.
The Dalai Lama has been quoted as saying "if we wish to be truly selfish, then we should be wisely selfish rather than foolishly selfish"
When is being Selfish Not A Good Thing?
When we commonly talk about selfish people it's usually in a way that is hurtful. In other words their behaviour has hurt us or others. But I'd argue that this is more to do with them being deeply unconscious of their place in the world or in their relationships.They have no regard for others.
This is very different from being selfish, it is much more to do with self awareness or more like lack of self awareness and how it impacts on others.
Selfish in this sense is:
- Ego Centered – Only looking to protect or satisfy one's own ego
- Self Protection – People who have been hurt and close themselves off to protect being hurt again
- Skewed interpretation of Strength – yes usually people act in a selfish way because they think this makes them appear strong, when in fact it is exactly the opposite.
When is being Selfish A Good Thing?
So now we come to why being selfish is a necessity. Simply put because if you do not look after number one, you are neglecting the one reason you are living. Your life is precious, it's priceless and you owe it to yourself to value it as such.
The difference is that being selfish does not mean you step over others, treat them badly or disrespect them for your own gain. Actually it's the complete opposite; to really love yourself means you will go out of your way to do good for others because it makes you feel good. That is selfish compassion, it's not the only reason you do something good but ultimately it is what makes us all be kind towards others.
Selfish in this sense is:
- Looking after yourself because you want to be happy, being happy has a positive impact on those you love.
- You love yourself because if you can't love yourself how can you expect anyone else to?
- You put yourself first because when you are meeting your own needs, you do not need others to meet them for you. This liberates both you and your loved ones. You release those close to you from obligation, feeling they have to do something. But when they do, it's because of their own desire to make you happy.
- We look after our own needs so we don't become resentful. When we expect others to fulfill our needs and they fail to do that, we become resentful. Or if all we do is do things for others, sooner or later we will resent it.
It is ultimately your responsibility to be "consciously" selfish – To be a fulfilled and Happy Individual

Uncasville Vacation Packages
Many of Mystic - New London's key attractions are located within easy driving distance of Uncasville, making it a great place to base yourself while you are in town. The Dinosaur Place at Nature's Art and the Upper Falls Heritage Park are two of the popular places to discover here. Two other worthy points of interest you'll find close by Uncasville are Crystal Mall and the Submarine Force Library and Museum.
Visitors to Uncasville, keen to deepen their appreciation of this area, should make tracks to the nearby museums and theaters. Spend part of the day discovering the exhibits at the Leffingwell House Historic Museum in Norwich. There are some excellent galleries to visit near here. In particular, don't miss the Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London.

Crossover projects are the hallmark of the Sonux Ensemble. Together with the jazz-saxophonist Stefan Kuchel and the Sirius Quartet, the young men's choir performs contemporary works. The Quartet members describe themselves as artists of improvisation who break out of the conventional vocabulary of sound for a string quartet. Most pieces on this CD were written especially for the Sonux Ensemble, and thus composed to the singers' strengths. "We have worked on these pieces together with the composers, and given them their first performances over the course of the last five years. This disc features only world premiere recordings and, literally, unheard of choral music," the choir's director Hans-Joachim Lustig notes.

Omnicom Group President-CEO John Wren has mapped out an acquisition strategy that may heat up in the coming months with targets likely to include customer-relationship management firms as well as agencies in Asia.
Double-digit earnings increase
The plan was laid out in its quarterly conference call with analysts in which Omnicom revealed another double-digit earnings increase, driven by strong performance in the US, South America and Asia. The largest ad agency holding company said on July 27 that net income for the second quarter was up 10 per cent to $225.8 million from $206.1 million a year ago. Revenue rose 9 per cent to $2.62 billion from $2.4 billion last year.
Wren's signal that some deals could be in the offing is news in an industry where most of the juiciest targets have been snatched up by the likes of Omnicom and rivals WPP Group, Interpublic Group of Companies and Publicis Groupe.
The acquisition landscape could be reinvigorated by a discipline that, though not as flashy as its advertising brethren, has caught the attention of marketers impressed by its measurability.
CRM revenue generator
Customer-relationship management, or CRM, which includes sophisticated analytics as well as traditional direct-marketing techniques, has become a vital part of Omnicom's business in recent years as marketers have become more interested in using customer data to shape one-to-one marketing programmes.
For the second quarter, CRM was responsible for 34.2 per cent of Omnicom's revenue compared with advertising's 44.1 per cent share. Omnicom owns a host of CRM agencies, including Rapp Collins and Targetbase.
"Our focus is on CRM and companies where there is truly a measurable return on investment that can be substantiated," Wren said.
10 Asia acquisition targets
Omnicom's other focus will be on Asia. Wren said that he had recently approved 10 acquisition targets put forth by Michael Birkin, Omnicom's new Asia-Pacific CEO.
Before these deals got done, Wren said, the large amount of private equity money now flooding the industry and, in his mind, driving up prices, would have to diminish.
"There are aggressive equity funds out here who have kind of missed the point that the industry is pretty largely consolidated," Wren said. "I'm confounded by their expectations that they're going to be able to run it better than, say, we could or one of our competitors and then resell it to us at a premium."
Omnicom's most recent acquisition, however, had nothing to do with either CRM or China. The Zimmerman Agency, a Tallahassee, Florida-based, tourism and hospitality-focused shop was bought by an Omnicom subsidiary, Zimmerman & Partners Advertising.
While Wren's interest in growing Omnicom's already considerable marketing services offering is clear, one of those disciplines could be showing signs of trouble. Public relations, slow to emerge from the recession, grew at less than 1 per cent for the quarter. Asked by an analyst about the flat growth, Chief Financial Officer Randall Weisenburger said that it appeared to be a "quarterly anomaly."

Spying three intruders inside their grassy sanctuary, a herd of horned bovines immediately went on the defensive. They grouped together and charged full speed across the field to within 10 feet, dropped their front shoulders and dared anyone to take another step.
"That's the yak in them," farmer Pete Mentzer explained.
The what?
"They're 50-50 yak and beef animal," he said of the creatures, which have long faces, low-set ears, thick coats and tails, and oddly angled horns.
Mentzer, who grew up farming in Loudoun County, and his partner, Jim Dumbrell, a retired British oil and gas pipeline consultant, are breeding yattle -- a cross between cows and yaks. "We laughingly call it Frankensteer," Dumbrell said of the crossbreed.
The odd pairings of farmer and oilman, cow and yak are indicative of the changing nature of farming in Loudoun, where operations that once raised corn, wheat and beef cattle across hundreds of acres have been sold off and broken up for development.
In their place have come nontraditional hobby farms -- organic vegetables, wine grapes, alpacas, llamas and now yattle -- often run by newcomers looking as much for a taste of country life as for the next big thing.
"After farms were sold off here, people had five or 10 or 20 acres, and they could not raise commodities profitably on those places," said Warren Howell, agricultural development officer with the county's Department of Economic Development. "They had to go into niche [products], and many of them have found that profitable."
Right now, yattle are the next big nothing. But Mentzer and Dumbrell hope they become the rage of a health-conscious society looking for a low-fat alternative to traditional beef.
Because yaks, with their horns and long coats, are cold-weather animals native to such places as Tibet, their fat is concentrated on the outside of their bodies, not riddled throughout, resulting in a low-cholesterol but slightly tough meat, Dumbrell said. By breeding the animals with beef cattle, the pair hopes to meld the best traits of both species.
A far cry from the days when the success or failure of the year's harvest governed family fortunes, ventures such as Dumbrell's are often pursued more out of whimsy than necessity.
"I get a lot of pleasure out of it," said Dumbrell, 65, who came to Loudoun 18 years ago and describes himself as a novice farmer. "I love working with animals."
Dumbrell said he got the idea to raise livestock after taking in a "seriously deformed" cow called Stumpy that was being shunned by the rest of the herd on a neighbor's farm. Seeking company for the creature, he explored his options.
"We were trying to find something that was different. We were thinking of alpacas, then bison, but the fencing for bison would be pretty expensive," given their strength and aggression. He summed up his reasons for choosing yaks with a single word and a grin: "Stupidity."
Realizing he'd need an actual farmer to help handle the up-to-1,300-pound animals, Dumbrell partnered with his neighbor, Mentzer, who, after 36 years of working for Pepco, decided he wanted to return to his roots and give farming another go.
Asked whether he ever thought he'd be partnered with a British yattle farmer, Mentzer, 69, said: "Absolutely not. No way, shape or form."
Dumbrell has 30 yaks on his 70-acre Purcellville farm -- which flies both British and American flags near its workshop -- while cattle and yattle are kept on neighboring farms where Mentzer works as a manager.
Unlike other crosses such as mules, which are infertile, only male yattle are sterile, allowing females -- which might or might not have horns -- to procreate with bulls.
Yattle are not the first example of two species being crossed to please the human palate.
In the early 1970s, beefalo -- crosses of bison and beef cattle -- was marketed commercially in the United States. That venture has largely flopped because of a low supply of animals, said Bob Weaber, a geneticist specializing in beef cattle with the University of Missouri.
American Beefalo International, an association of breeders primarily in the United States, reports registering 200 to 300 beefalo each year.
Weaber said crossing species is usually a risky venture given the fertility challenges involved. "You kinda gotta scratch your head as to why they'd do it," Weaber said of the yattle enterprise.
Michael Greger, director of public health and animal agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States, expressed little concern about the crossing of cow and yak, saying there could be benefits to the union.
"Some of these kinds of specialized animals may have higher welfare because the farmer may have put a lot of resources into these sort of niche species," Greger said. "If they have the only yattle in North America, [they're] going to call the vet, where as if a cow is down, they may let it languish or euthanize it."
Dumbrell and Mentzer's yattle operation is one of only a handful in the country, according to John Hooper, vice president of the International Yak Association. Hooper, who has a yak farm in Cold Spring, Minn., said his group estimates there are about 5,000 yaks in the United States, mostly in colder, higher-altitude climates, such as Colorado.
Hooper said he breeds some of his yaks with cattle but does not distinguish yattle meat from that of regular yaks when he sells it at local markets and restaurants.
"The meat is indistinguishable unless you do a scientific analysis of it," said Hooper, 57, who has 70 yaks and 15 yattle on his farm. "The flavor is the same."
Outside a pen of yaks on a recent afternoon, Dumbrell was decked out in a tweed hat, checkered shirt and Rolex watch ("All the farmers have them," he jokes of the pricey timepiece). Mentzer, sporting a Loudoun Cattlemen's Association hat, petted the animals -- lethargic in the Virginia heat -- through the fence.
"They don't like the weather," said Dumbrell, adding that yattle are capable of both mooing and grunting. "They're bilingual," he said.
So far, Dumbrell has bred eight yattle but has never tasted the meat. And although his financial future is not riding on it, he is fairly confident that the end product, still two to three years away, will be a hit.
"It's marketing," he said. "It could be the worst crap you've ever tasted in your life, but you'll pay for it, because it's taken eight years to achieve."

ATLANTA -- His dad knew when he was a little kid shooting hoops outside. His wife knew when she met the spirited teen in college. His friend knew as soon as he saw him lead the rest of his crew out of their formative collegiate years. His staff knew the moment they signed on to be his trusted aides.
They all knew Billy Donovan was the hardest-working person they had been around, someone who loved challenges, who couldn't wait to prove you wrong and who was destined for greatness in his profession.
At 11:51 ET Monday night, Donovan climbed to the top of the ladder at one end of the Georgia Dome and trimmed the last piece of a net, waved the twine to the crowd and smiled as he walked down. With chants of "Billy! Billy!" reverberating in the arena, it was easy to see how much Donovan had elevated himself in the game.
Donovan officially is one of the elite coaches in the sport. He has won two national titles -- back-to-back, no less, in this age of early entries to the NBA draft. He is one of only four active coaches, with Texas Tech's Bob Knight, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Connecticut's Jim Calhoun, to have won more than one national title.
He is only 41.
"I think back to when he was a kid shooting baskets, growing up playing high school and college basketball, and it's just unbelievable," said his father, Bill Sr., who is at nearly every game, and is as much a mentor as a friend.
"I've always said one thing -- as a player, he had to outwork everybody, and as a coach he had to do that, too," Bill Sr. said. "That's how he got it done.
"It brings a tear to your eye," Bill Sr. said as he looked out at the court with confetti streaming down on him. "I can't express the inner pride and satisfaction. Plus, he's a good person -- great to everybody. He's a good boy. That's the main thing."
Christine Donovan, Billy's wife and mother of their four children, has been with him since they were together at Providence College in the 1980s.
"No one knows how hard he works and how much he sacrifices and is dedicated," she said. "He's not going to be outworked. He'll never lose for a lack of trying."
About the same time, in 1985, Billy met good friend Bill Creamer, who goes to a number of Florida games throughout the season even though he lives in Connecticut.
"He has matured in ways I can't even describe," Creamer said. "He's always been a leader."
The assistants, a current one like Donnie Jones and a former one like VCU head coach Anthony Grant, signed on to follow Donovan's lead because of his work ethic.
"Billy's a winner, and anybody that knows him from his playing days and coaching days knows that," Grant said. "He has a tremendous work ethic. You know that from the first time you meet him."
Donovan isn't one to put himself on a pedestal. He's not going to discuss his legacy. He knows getting a class of Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Taurean Green and Corey Brewer to go to Florida, then actually develop into NBA talent, when no one projected it, was fortunate.
A year ago, the Gators were in the right bracket, got hot at the opportune time and won six games for the title. Once the three highest-profile juniors decided to return, the target was on their backs to win it again. Handling that kind of pressure was the most difficult thing Donovan has done in his coaching career.
"It's all been a blur," Donovan said of the past two years. "The thing that you realize in coaching is that nobody has this stuff figured out. It's such a roller coaster.
"There was a stretch [from 2001 to '05] where we were getting knocked out of tournaments early, and then we win two national championships," Donovan said. "I haven't figured that much out. I'm working hard. I love the game, and I'm trying to build Florida."
Christine Donovan said she knew this team was too special to lose. She said she couldn't imagine this team failing, not after everyone came back.
"There's so much turnover in college basketball and it's so much different than it was 25 years ago," Billy Donovan said. "This was such a rare group, and I had a chance to coach them for another year."
Now, seniors Lee Humphrey and Chris Richard definitely are gone, and there's no guarantee the four juniors will return; the odds are against their coming back.
"This was better," Donovan's father said of comparing these two titles against his son's getting to the 1987 Final Four with Providence as a player. "That was a special time in our family's life, but this is more special because he won."
Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said that winning this title, when everyone expected the Gators to, is even sweeter than last year's.
"That guy is a grinder," Foley said. "He works his tail off. He hasn't changed."
Donovan said he hasn't worked harder this year than in any other year. That's all he knows.
So, what did Grant say the 41-year-old will do for an encore? "Win three."
Doubting him now would be foolish. So far, Donovan hasn't met a challenge he couldn't meet.

Superfund Site: FMC CORP. (FRIDLEY PLANT)
Superfund Site Profile
The 18-acre FMC Corp. (Fridley Plant) site is located in Anoka County, Minnesota. Operations on site generated and disposed of solvents, paint sludge and plating wastes in several locations from the 1940s to 1969. Waste disposal operations contaminated soil and groundwater with hazardous chemicals. Because of the threat posed to Minneapolis' drinking water supplies, the site received one of the highest Hazard Ranking System (HRS) scores of all sites on the Superfund program's National Priorities List (NPL). However, regular sampling of the water at the public drinking water intake has shown no exceedances of contaminants since the 1980s. Following cleanup, operation and maintenance activities are ongoing.


text: I just got a two radio unit today and tried setting it up with my Samsung Galaxy S3. It didn't work (no connection with camera) so I contacted DJI support and they had me update firmware. So, I downloaded firmware and put it on one of the radios and then placed the card (with the firmware file) in the camera and booted up. The drone/gimbal went through a seemingly normal DJI start up but then there were no lights on the back indicating any status at all. Still no connection so I called DJI again and they determined that it was simply the device. Soooooo, I ran to Best Buy and picked up the only thing I thought would work (Google Nexus 9) and came back. Same deal, no connection in the app with the camera or drone. I guess it could still be a device issue since the Nexus 9 isn't listed as one of their (now) 5 or so compatible devices. Is there something I'm missing? Should I just try another device? It doesn't seem like an app issue at this point but I could be wrong.

Series: Very Short Introduction Series (VSI) Volume: 79
By: Julia Annas(Author)
104 pages, illustrations
Plato: A Very Short Introduction focuses on the philosophy and argument of Plato's writings, drawing the reader into Plato's way of doing philosophy and the general themes of his thinking. It discusses Plato's style of writing: his use of the dialogue form, his use of what we today call fiction, and his philosophical transformation of myths. It also looks at his discussions of love and philosophy, his attitude to women, and to homosexual love. It explores Plato's claim that virtue is sufficient for happiness and touches on his arguments for the immorality of the soul and his ideas about the nature of the universe.

text: Not sure what to make of it. Sounds like for years they were collaborating with the FAA to make rules to impose on us hobbyists, and now want to claim victory that there will be no rules on us. So which is it AMA? To view this email as a web page, go here. You're receiving this email because of your affiliation with the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Academy of Model Aeronautics Member Communication Wednesday, February 18, 2015 FAA Releases Proposed sUAS Rule After years of delays, the FAA released its notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for sUAS on February 15, 2015. Although we are still sifting through the 195-page proposed rule, at first glance we are cautiously optimistic. Since the beginning of the regulatory process in 2008, the path that got us to where we are today took several unusual twists and turns. AMA's position from the very beginning was, and will always be, "No modeler left behind!" Along the way, AMA and the FAA were able to address a number of concerns and came together to find reasonable solutions. We were able to resolve these concerns because the FAA looked favorably on AMA and our strong safety program that has stood the test of time for nearly 80 years. In 2008, the FAA's initial thoughts were that it would "regulate model aviation by exempting it from regulation." As the process progressed, the FAA changed direction and began leaning toward a comprehensive set of "operating standards" that would be the guidance for modelers. AMA and some dedicated AMA volunteers representing many of the aeromodeling disciplines worked for over two years alongside the FAA in developing those standards. The work was tedious, sometimes tense, and was made more difficult by frequent turnover in personnel within the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Office (UASIO), the office within the FAA charged with drafting these new rules. In 2010, recognizing the challenges we were facing, AMA asked Congress for its support. In February 2012, after nearly two years of hard work, Congress passed the 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act. Within this act is Section 336, titled the Special Rule for Model Aircraft (the AMA amendment). This amendment, while recognizing the FAA's authority over anyone-including model aviation enthusiasts-who could be an eminent danger to other users of the airspace, limited the FAA's ability to create any new rule or regulation for model aircraft. Shortly after the passage of this act-and in part due to a change in management within the UASIO-the FAA's position began to shift away from the concept of a hard set of standards for model aircraft. We find ourselves today, nearly seven years after the process began, looking at a proposed rule from which, for the most part, model aviation is exempt. As the FAA administrator said, "... this proposed rule does not affect those who want to fly model aircraft as a hobby or for recreation." It appears AMA and the FAA found a way to regulate model aviation by exempting it from regulation. Although we are optimistic, there is a long way to go before this proposed rule is finalized. There is a period for public comment, and it's possible that the FAA may make some modification to the proposed rule. AMA is also intent on working with the FAA to resolve the differences we have with the FAA's Interpretive Rule issued in June 2014. The Interpretive Rule is the FAA's interpretation of the provisions in the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, and there a few areas where we believe the FAA may be misinterpreting Congress' intent when it included the special rule in the 2012 act. As the country's premier community-based organization representing model aviation enthusiasts, AMA has invested significant resources in both manpower and dollars in advocating for, and working toward, the goal of aeromodelers continuing to enjoy model aviation much as we have in the past. The NPRM is a good step toward making that happen. Once we have had a chance to fully digest the NPRM we will report back to our membership.

Are you feeling as though you're out of the Twitter loop after a busy and bonfire-filled weekend? Worry not, as we provide the perfect guide through last week's thought-provoking, health industry tweets.
Our #MondayMotivation came from The Mental Runner who writes a blog about his experience using exercise to improve his mental health. In this particular article he shares ideas to help you pick an exercise option which suits your lifestyle.
No matter who you are, when lovable puppies feature in the news it's difficult to ignore them. On Tuesday The British Medical Journal highlighted how a recent study has linked early contact with dogs with a reduced asthma risk.
Last Wednesday was #NationalStressAwarenessDay. Continuing the dog-theme we thought that Sagal Group's tweet might provoke some debate. Would having a pooch by your side lower stress levels in your office?
By Thursday the daily commute was taking it's toll. Cue parenting blogger Jennifer Barton sharing some healthy, and perhaps even fun, alternatives. The Treated.com team can definitely get behind this idea especially after the summer success of our very own calorie-counting tube map. A must read for Londoners!
November is all about Movember, as the men's health charity raises funds and awareness for their cause. Friday saw global pharmaceutical brand Janssen share an infographic on pioneers in the prostate cancer field.
Saturday was for sharing science and Johnson & Johnson helped us to learn more about our personal microbiome.
On Sunday children's mental health charity Young Minds encouraged us into the kitchen by reminding us how baking can be beneficial to our mental wellbeing. We'd appreciate it if someone could prove that eating the cake is also beneficial.

Given the popularity of the containers, further investment in the telco/cable industry is needed to transition existing VM-based solutions to containerized cloud native deployments. The networking architecture of the solution isolates the network traffic into different network planes (e.g., management, control, and media). This naturally makes support for multiple interfaces in container orchestration engines an indispensable requirement.

Kahn applied for a home improvement loan to construct an in-ground swimming pool. Union National Bank approved the loan, and construction began on Kahn's land. State Bank held a valid mortgage on this land. After the pool was completed, Union National gave Kahn the money with which he paid the contractor. Union National then perfected its interest by filing. State Bank later attempted to foreclose on its mortgage. Union National claimed the value of the pool. Is Union National entitled to recover the value of the pool?

Would Like To Know Why Fondant/rbc Needs Aging
Decorating By pamconn Updated 18 May 2008 , 3:34pm by pamconn
What happens when you don't let your fondant or rolled buttercream age for 24 hours before using?
i think you let fondsnt set for 24 hrs simply b/c it will be easier to work with, after first mixing its a little sticky, i could be worng though. I have no idea about the RBC, never used it before. Good luck finding the answer
If you make your own fondant, letting it rest for 24hrs. allows the ingredients used to make it stretchy and smooth sort of "get their act together" throughout the entire mix. After it's rested and then re-kneaded, those substances should be very evenly distributed.
I think of it like spaghetti & marinara sauce--it's good right off the stove, but I think it's always much better after it's been refrigerated for a day & then re-heated--the flavors are stronger and more uniform and I like the texture much better.
As for RBC--I didn't get the memo on letting it rest, so.........I don't. I have frozen it and then defrosted it to use--and I hate it--watery, needs lots of extra PS kneaded into it, etc. I make it up, get it to the doughy stage I like, roll it out between sheets of parchment paper, freeze or refrigerate the rolled out piece, let it warm up just enough to flex but not crack, and then apply it. It works very well for me. Given the ingredients in it (no drying or "stretching" stuff), I don't really know why it's recommended.
Just my .02
Thank you for your replies. That makes sense. I'll keep following directions!
For the most part, if you try to use fondant straight away, it will not stretch properly and can be somewhat crumbly. It can also make you nuts with trying to get it to work!
The time allows the gelatin to absorb the moisture and like BlakesCakes said, it give the fondant better flavor and for the ingredients to be evenly distributed.
Try this recipe and see what you think: http://cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-3663-Michele-Fosters-Delicious-Fondant.html
That is what I just used! Thank you for explaining the hows and whys. Sometimes it's just nice to understand why a recipe says to add an ingrediant in a certain order or why some ingrediants need to be at room temperature...makes it easier to follow and not take shortcuts or forget something.

A Guide to Network Interruption Recovery
Tufin Technologies
: 24 May, 2010
(Special Report)
Reuven Harrion of Tufin Technologies explains the secrets of surviving and recovering from Network Interruptions
Ongoing changes to network and security device configuration are unavoidable and necessary for business. But they are also risky. They can have unexpected consequences - from service interruptions to performance degradation and even downtime.
How can you reduce the risk associated with configuration changes? Here is a 3-tier strategy:
1 Reduce the likelihood of configuration errors:
- Monitor and review changes
- Establish change procedures and processes
- Establish a test plan for all changes
2 Detect problems as early as possible:
- Monitor the environment
- Listen to your users
3 Ensure that you can make a fast recovery if something goes wrong:
- Maintain accessible, actionable audit information
- Establish standard recovery procedures
Finally, implementing solutions that can automate error-prone, repetitive tasks and can maintain vigilance 24 hours a day go a long way to preventing, and recovering from, human configuration errors.
Even if they look simple, all configuration changes should be monitored and reviewed. For example, suppose you're adding a host to a network group in order to provide access, and you are unaware that the same group is used in a different place to block traffic. Another pair of eyes will often catch something you missed.
Change requests must be communicated consistently so that the right people can review them and assess their impact. Many problems can be avoided simply with good communication. Some organizations schedule weekly change review meetings to understand and plan complex changes. But the most effective way to ensure that changes are reviewed and approved is by enforcing a change process workflow.
It may sound surprising, but many changes are tested for hours or days after implementation, while some are never tested at all. A test plan for every change is a critical part of the change process. Sometimes this isn't as easy as it sounds and involves coordinating end users, business partners, and professional testers. The work you put in here will give your team a reputation for doing things right.
The firewall environment should be continuously monitored and abnormal behavior should automatically trigger alerts. The firewall environment might include the operating system, the network interfaces, the firewall software, the firewall hardware, and the firewall rule base. These should be analyzed and correlated and, if necessary, escalated for a closer look.
A helpdesk should be in place so that users can easily report problems. The helpdesk should be manned with trained personnel and have clear processes for handling incidents. Have a plan for correlating multiple incidents to a single problem. Each team should have tools to assist root cause analysis before escalation to the next level.
Each and every change must be documented properly and recorded in an audit trail. A comprehensive audit trail should include the target device, the exact time of the change, the configuration details, the people who were involved (requestor, approvers, implementer), and the change context such as the project or application.
But a detailed audit trail is not enough on its own. The information must also be presented in an easy-to-read format so that you can easily access it when needed. Additionally, you'll want to have filtering and querying capabilities on top of the data to speed up searches and lookups.
Now comes the incident. Despite everything, something bad has happened and you need to respond. You will be judged by the time it took to recover, so you want to be well-prepared with tools, staff and processes to handle this. You want to keep stress down to a minimum.
If you have set up the procedures above, you are already in pretty good shape. Either you caught the problem during the change process or, if it was missed, you can discover it early, before users and services are affected. Thanks to the audit trail, you know exactly what changes have been made lately, by whom, and why. Experts agree that most recovery time is spent figuring out what changed; so if you already know, recovery times are going to be much shorter. You run some quick queries to pinpoint likely suspects and you can roll-back the changes quickly.
There are a number of tools on the market that can help you control changes, detect problems, and recover from errors - this could make your life a whole lot easier which provides
* A complete audit trail with full accountability and integration with ticketing systems
* Comprehensive change reports and side-by-side diffs for rule bases, objects and textual configurations
* Real-time change notifications with filtering (by change type, device, affected networks)
* Central console for viewing all recent changes across all devices regardless of vendor and model
* A policy analysis tool for determining which firewalls and rules are blocking services across an environment
* Rule and object change history reports
* Business process automation to manage the change process (SecureChange Workflow) and integration with existing ticketing systems
You can recover from configuration mistakes - it's a case of putting in the right rules and procedures and combining these with the right tools.
