REGINA — Every year the exact same question is asked to the starting quarterback of the host team for both the Eastern and Western Finals – 'is it an advantage to have the bye week or does it take you out of rhythm'?
The Saskatchewan Roughriders don't have the advantage of having a bye week but they did take every opportunity to rest their star pivot ahead of their Western Semi-Final showdown with the Calgary Stampeders on Sunday afternoon.
Darian Durant sat out last week's season finale against the BC Lions – with their playoff fate already decided – and gave way to backups Drew Willy and JT O'Sullivan. The two pivots went a combined 17 for 26 for 140 yards and no touchdowns in a defensive-dominated loss in Vancouver.
Durant says he is more than ready to turn the switch back on when Sunday arrives but understands that winning and losing is the difference when looking back and deciding whether or not it was the right call.
"It can go either way. When you lose they say it's a problem…when you win they say it's a good thing", Durant told CFL.ca.
Although Durant had made his way back into the lineup after a mid-season hip injury, he wasn't fully healthy down the stretch.
"Whenever you are banged up a little bit it's always good to get that extra rest", he continued. "With me being a vet in the league, hopefully I don't really need the reps and I can just step in and pick it up"Head Coach Corey Chamblin and his quarterback approached the week as if he were coming off of injury rather than taking a breather, allowing Durant to still stay in his weekly routine, minus the playing time.
"Those guys still practice and good amount and the biggest thing is they had time to focus on Calgary", Chamblin said. "As far as timing, it is a week-to-week (routine). It's no different than when Darian came back from his injury after Montreal…he came back and he was firing from there."
Both Chamblin and Durant admit that facing a Stampeders squad so many times leaves little to the unknown. Combine that with the fact that the Riders boss was a coordinator in Calgary the last time these two teams met in the playoffs and both agree that it is less about scheming and more about execution.
That didn't stop Durant from trying to get a leg up on studying the Stampeders` defence with the extra time.
"I spent the majority of my time last week preparing for Calgary and a little bit of Toronto in case we had to go out there," he said. "I put in the work as if we were playing them last week so I got a good week up on them as far as game planning is concerned and I feel good about the game plan going in."
The Riders will practice one more time, on Friday morning, before flying to Calgary later in the day in preparation for Sunday's matchup at 4:30 pm ET from McMahon Stadium.

Thanksgiving 2012
"What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner."
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
It's mid-day on Thanksgiving and I have taken a break before dinner is served to review the list of what I am thankful for.
- Health: I have lost 50 pounds in the last year. It's "a good start" on what I will need to do to be able to explore the year 2040 on foot–I would like to remain conscious, curious, and capable for another three decades.
- Family: Too few entrepreneurs realize the wisdom of J. S. Bryan's advice: "Many men can make a fortune but very few can build a family." While my health enables everything else my wife and children sustain me.
- Friends: I have been more systematic about reconnecting with old friends and rewarded with candid insights that can only come from folks who have known me for a while, they have both the perspective and the willingness to share.
- Opportunity: I have been very fortunate to continue my collaborations with Peter Cohan, Mark Duncan, Terry Frazier, Steve Hogan, Anthony Scampavia, John Smith, Dorai Thodla, and Pete Tormey, I have started new projects with Scott Sambucci and Michal Domanski that I find energizing and believe will form the basis for long term collaboration. I am grateful to those who have opened doors for me in the last year: Eric Ries invited me to speak at the Lean Startup Conference; Minesh Amin allowed me to attend the Python conference; Tristan Kromer invited me to mentor at the San Jose Startup Weekend; Lisa Solomon invited me to present at an MBA in Design Strategy course at the California College of the Arts.

"There is no one who can do it all -- to joke and to terrify, to evoke laughter and profound sentiment -- and all equally well, except Joseph Haydn,'' remarked Haydn's friend and admirer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; high praise from a man whom history has judged an equal master.
Haydn, who wrote 104 symphonies, 83 string quartets and a marionette opera, among many others -- completed one of his most important pieces came toward the end of his life. Having heard Handel's ''Messiah'' at Westminster Abbey in 1791, Haydn endeavored to write an oratorio of similar magnitude. The result was ''Die Schopfung'' (The Creation), based on the Genesis account and John Milton's ''Paradise Lost.''
''I've wanted to do this piece for a long time, as far back as '92,'' says director Joe Napoli. ''But it just seemed like something always came up. I'm happy that we didn't do it earlier because we're a much more mature choral group now."
Scored for three soloists, who represent the archangels, chorus and orchestra, the oratorio is a tour de force in its scoring as well as its players. Soloists include Stephanie Pierce, soprano; Bradley Howard, tenor; and David Stoffel, bass. To complement the 50-member chorus, the Athens Master Chorale will be accompanied by a 27-piece orchestra, the largest with which they have ever performed.
''It's an absolutely wonderful piece'' Napoli says. ''It has so many wonderful melodies, and the orchestration is so colorful, especially in the section describing creation of the animals. Each animal has its own little theme, and the music is extremely descriptive.''
The story itself, the first six days of creation, demanded from Haydn a new approach to composition. While music in the classical period was based on abstract notions of musical symmetry and balance, ''The Creation'' shifted the musical focus of the story itself. This eventually became known as programmatic music and was a key characteristic of the Romantic period.
It is interesting to note that Haydn, considered along with Mozart to represent the classical period, allows the music to be guided by extramusical ideas.
''For instance, at the beginning, there is a longish orchestral overture,'' says Napoli. ''This represents the chaos that existed before the universe was created. The music is very dissonant and out of the current 18th century style. The first chorus begins and introduces the beginning of creation. It is very quiet. However, when the text says 'there was light,' Haydn has this C major chord almost out of nowhere representing the entering of the light. Some people have made a case for this being the beginning of the Romantic period. All of sudden there is a programmatic element to the music.''
Perhaps in representing the creation of the world, Haydn himself had to find a new language, a new mode of expression. If this is so, it is all the more appropriate that Strauss' ''Das Lied von der Erde'' (The Song of the Earth) is considered to the be the culmination of this expressionistic, programmatic approach to composition.

Return I
When I am traveling,
hurrying hundreds of miles
in trains or by car,
I pass houses
where we once lived.
All those places
once seemed permanent, immutable,
part of our marriage, home.
Now they are abandoned stage sets,
insubstantial cardboard and canvas.
Like clothes sent to the thrift shop,
there were lives that we left behind—
just like taking out the garbage,
dropping it in the can,
slamming the lid.
I return as a tourist to
our old lives. Speeding by,
I see our first roof top through
a soot-marked window. I could walk there
from the station. I do not get off the train.
When I have the car,
I park down the block from
another place and keep the motor running.
I see tulips whose bulbs I held,
brown and flaky in my palm.
Without moving,
I cross the lawn like a specter,
ring the bell like a prankster, run away.
The house has been painted
a different color. The swing set is gone.
At the country place, our last,
I stop behind the privet hedge you planted
to see your tree. Set out in September when
you'd measured your last summer's sun,
it now shades the terrace, just as you'd planned.
When you died, I thought of
putting your ashes under your tree.
Instead, the summer after,
I sat out alone in the evenings,
waiting, listening to the leaves.
I still have your car, our child,
the dog, and some of the money.
The cat, the rabbits and the goldfish
are gone. I release the brake.
Driving quickly, I take a familiar road.
I do not see anyone we knew.
It's the birthday of the man who invented the concept of kindergarten: Friedrich Froebel, born in a village in Germany (1782). It was a prosperous village, located in a forest that was filled with plants that provided natural herbal remedies for various ailments, and the villagers earned their living from selling those plants in the form of salves, astringents, soaps, and dyes. Friedrich studied study math and botany, worked as a land surveyor, and then became a teacher. He was devoted to early childhood education, and he thought that activity and play were an essential part of early learning. He coined the term kindergarten in 1840. He was one of the first educators to see games as a tool for learning. He said, "Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child's soul."
The first kindergarten in the United Sates was founded in 1856 in Watertown, Wisconsin, by one of Froebel's students.
It's the birthday of Charlotte Brontë, (books by this author) born in Yorkshire, England, in 1816. She wrote Jane Eyre (1847), the story of a poor orphan who finds a job as a governess and eventually falls in love with her mysterious employer. The novel was an immediate success. Within two years of its publication, all of Charlotte's siblings had died. She married in 1854 but died soon after from complications with her pregnancy.
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

Unmarked Tennis Courts, Manchester, NH
I just don't get sick of aerial photography (see past posts here and here). It's the wonder you felt as a kid looking out of a plane window, captured in a photograph, how awesome. Ok, I still feel that way looking out of a plane window.
I am really digging the graphic quality of these images by Alex MacClean. I'm fairly obsessed with that top image of unmarked tennis courts-- it's just so cool that you can't tell at all what it is until you know the title.
Marias River Drainage and Pivot Irrigator, Loma Area, MT
I seem to like the images more the more they abstract what the subject actually is-- it's cool to see these views of very real, tangible things only for their graphic qualities. If you visit his website you'll see he has tons of different subjects and style, but I'm most drawn to the bold, graphic, and pattern-suggestive images.

I've tried all the various rules, like 2 x width, 1 x height, a.e. 640x480, and various other resolutions, but no matter which I try, it wants me to crop the image I want to set as wallpaper, and no matter what I do, it can't enclose the entire image.

Graham Crackers
Today's snack is from Karen Ansel, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and co-author of "The Baby & Toddler Cookbook."
These days my go-to healthy snack is graham crackers with a tall glass of 1% milk. It's as satisfying and comforting as cookies and milk but the graham crackers have a fraction of the sugar and calories. Washing them down with a tall glass of milk delivers lots of high-quality satisfying protein so I stay full for hours—plus I get over a third of my day's calcium at the same time.

Thanks Karen! I love graham crackers, too, and usually try to buy the low-fat kind (though the regular variety isn't too bad, either).

LABOUR-run Durham County Council is poised to axe 1,600 jobs, its leader revealed his week.
Faced with £100m of savings over four years, it is to ask its entire 10,041-strong directly-employed workforce for expressions of interest in early retirement or voluntary redundancy.
Services across the board are at risk, with everything not required by law placed under review.
The council leader, Coun Simon Henig, said: "It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do."
The announcement came hours after the Coalition cut the authority's "spending power" for next year by 35.9m.
Over £11m of Durham County Council's grant has been withheld to protect services in other local authority areas mostly in the South.
The Government's financial damping system which sets a minimum and maximum grant level for every council unduly penalises authorities in hard-hit areas.
In addition, grants for job creation and help to poverty-stricken areas have also been slashed by £25m Coun Henig said that when all grants were taken into account, the council faced a year-on-year funding cut of 15 per cent; and there was "clear unfairness" across the country, with Surrey County Council losing just 0.3 per cent.
"It's Robin Hood in reverse: targeting the poor and giving to the wealthier areas," he said. "It's the worst cuts in the recent history of local government."
He added: Sadly, there is no light at the end of the tunnel. This isn't a one off. We are expecting the cuts to just keep coming.
The council hopes to save about £50m from management, support services, efficiency measures and a fees and income review. But a further £50m will have to come from public services. Decisions on what to cut will be taken in February.
But, with Coun Henig saying a council tax increase was "extremely unlikely", funding for everything from libraries, museums and theatres to youth, sport and leisure centres is being reconsidered.
Among 140 proposals are: Reducing councillors' local budgets; Reviewing support for community buildings; Reducing the number of issues of the council newsletter, Durham County News; Reviewing the operating costs of the Gala Theatre, in Durham City, and Rationalising bus services.
Coun Henig said: "We feel there's no option but to put on the table almost everything that's not a statutory function of this council. We don't have a magic wand. We can't reverse the loss of £100m."
He said Co Durham would still have more facilities than many other areas, but warned of a "thinning out", with some residents having to travel further to their local library or leisure centre.
Terry Scarr, regional organiser for the GMB union, blamed the cuts on the Tory Government and said the council had guaranteed it would try to make them as painless as possible, but added: "We will be looking to challenge the cuts if we think they've been unfairly selected."
Coun Henig singled out the Liberal Democrats for criticism, saying: "I would expect nothing less from the Conservatives. But it's very surprising to find the Lib Dems going along with it. It makes you wonder what they're doing in the Coalition.
"I believe these cuts are ideological. We are having to implement a huge-scale reduction in services that have been built up over not just years, but decades."
However, Coun Nigel Martin, leader of the council's Lib Dems, said his party's ministers had won real positives, including the pupil premium. The Coalition was dealing with a national financial mess left by Labour.
He said it would be very sad if there were compulsory redundancies but the council had to focus on delivering services efficiently and deal with over-staffing. He said there could be considerable progress through voluntary redundancies.
"It isn't as if they're going to stop 1,600 jobs tomorrow. We've got four years to deal with these problems," he said.
Council chiefs stressed they would do everything possible to limit compulsory redundancies and the impact of the cuts, including offering re-training, re-deployment, support and counselling.
Consultation with residents and area action partnerships on what should be cut has already begun.
In Darlington, council leader John Williams said the true cut in Government support to there borough was likely to be as much as 11.65 per cent.
Cuts of this scale will seriously undermine council services.
Middlesbrough mayor Ray Mallon said the cuts were too savage and too deep and threatened to put the borough back a generation.
North Yorkshire County Council said its funding settlement was also worse than anticipated, and had left the authority with a shortfall in excess of £30m over the next 15 months.
Clare Williams, Unison's North-East regional convenor, said the settlement heralded the start of biggest shake up of local government since 1945.
She added: This will have huge implications for our communities and the fabric of our society in terms of delivery of public services.
The cuts will leave councils in the region with 18m less to spend on local transport in the next financial year.
In 2009-10, councils in the North-East shared more than £82m in grants and in North Yorkshire the county council got just under £32m.
However, in 2010-11 that will be slashed by 18m to 64m in the North-East, while North Yorkshires allocation will be cut to £29m.
In 2012-13, 65m will be allocated to North-East councils and 28m to North Yorkshire.
The funding includes money for smaller local transport projects those with a value under 5m such as road junction improvements and the introduction of new bus lanes.
A separate funding stream is also made available for highways and roads maintenance, and the DfT said it had allocated more than £3bn over the next four years for local highways maintenance, which it said continued to be prioritised, reflecting the economic and social importance to local communities.
Douglas Kell, North-East director of the Civil Engineering Contractors Association, said transport spending was likely to be squeezed when set against other areas such as social care.

Victoria Benson has filed suit against the city of Denville, where she once served, claiming she was harassed, discriminated against and even assaulted while working as the city's only female police officer.
Benson began working for the Denville Police Department in 2000. Her lawsuit claims fellow officers constantly berated her because of her weight, clothing and sexuality.
She charges that officers would refuse to provide assistance when she requested it. At one point, she asked her supervisor to wear a hidden microphone to document the abuse. The request was denied. From that point on, she alleges, the abuse accelerated. Benson says her supervisors charged her with disciplinary infractions in an attempt to build a case to fire her.
She initially sued in 2008, but withdrew that lawsuit when the department dropped several disciplinary charges.
Eventually, the harassment took its toll. After Benson quit in June 2010—she says she was forced out of the department—she sued again in Superior Court in Morristown.
The suit charges the police department created a hostile work environment, retaliated against her for complaining and wrongly discharged her. Benson seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and attorneys' fees.

Hey Guys! Your resident Skynyrd nut is back
I have a couple of questions on this one. Im curious first of all as to your guys opinions on 1976 explorers... Thoughts on playability, quality as a vintage geetar, and maybe just anyone's personal experiences with them.
Also, hopefully no will get annoyed with this question so bear with me , if you had one would you or would you not add a short arm tremolo ala Allen Collins. You may think it is purely my obsession with him and his playing but in all honesty I always thought most explorers looked somewhat plain without a short trem. Obviously this is simply my opinion but I am curious as to yours. Please dont hate guys

Cherry Awards recognize outstanding educatorsSept. 27, 1996
Awards believed to be largest monetary teaching rewards in the United States
By Neal Suit
Lariat Reporter
In an effort to honor great teachers from around the English-speaking world, Baylor awarded Alan Paul Haskvitz and Dr. Clare Woodward the Robert Foster Cherry Award for Great Teaching. The Cherry Awards Banquet was Thursday evening in the Barfield Drawing Room of the Bill Daniel Student Center.
Haskvitz, a master social studies teacher from Walnut, Calif., and Woodward, a biochemistry professor from St. Paul, Minn. will split $25,000 and are required to present a series of lectures at the University.
Haskvitz, who teaches history and is the Social Studies Department Head at Suzanne Middle School in Alta Loma, Calif., is the first middle school teacher to receive the award. He is the only history teacher to receive the national award for best teaching and best methods from the National Council for Social Studies.
'It is a great honor [for Haskvitz] that for the first time this award is not being given to a university or college professor,' President Robert B. Sloan Jr. said.
In more than 20 years of teaching, Haskvitz has received more than 30 national awards for teaching and innovation in the classroom.
According to a press release, Haskvitz's classes have accomplished such feats as devising a plan to save Los Angeles more than 23 million gallons of water a year. His students rewrote the voting rules for the county of Los Angeles, which was accepted by the Registrar of Voters.
Haskvitz, fulfilling his lecture requirement, has served for the past week as a guest teacher-in-residence for the Baylor School of Education.
Woodward, a biochemistry professor at the University of Minnesota since 1970, is known for her discoveries in hydrogen isotope exchange in proteins and protein dynamics. Woodward will present her lecture series at Baylor in February.
'We seldom know the inner effect we have on students [as teachers], but we hope that we expose them to true scholarship,' Woodward said.
Woodward thanked her mother for the influence and motivation to become a scientist at the awards ceremony. Both of Woodward's parents attended Baylor back in the 1920s.
'I was especially influenced by my mother...to become a scientist and a teacher,' Woodward said. 'I understand that Baylor left a life-long imprint on my mother, and through her, me.'
Woodward helped design the undergraduate curriculum for Minnesota's biochemistry department according to a press release and is known for her efforts in helping women and black students prepare for science careers.
At the awards ceremony, Mike Morrison, law professor and mayor of Waco, presented both recipients with a key to the city.
The Cherry Awards for Great Teaching was made possible by a donation from the late Robert Foster Cherry, who received a bachelor's and law degree from Baylor.
Cherry helped to found both the Cherry Award for Great Teaching and the Cherry Chair for Distinguished Teaching, which are given on an alternating annual basis. The recipient of the Cherry Chair for Distinguished Teaching will receive $100,000 and will present a series of lecture at Baylor in the fall and then return to teach in residence for the spring.
The awards are believed to be the largest monetary teaching awards in the United States.

Last Chance to Get Some Quiet
Arkadi Zaides offered little relief to the expectant audience that gathered last night at the MAI for Quiet. In this explosive response to Israel's splintered political landscape, Zaides and three fellow performers thrashed and tumbled to a score of thumping bass punctured by screams and shouts. Tending much more towards the psychological than the political, this work provides an interesting and sincere platform to explore the latter.
This seems to be the season for Israeli choreography in the city, with Barak Marshall's Harry performed by BJM this past September, and Hofesh Shechter's Political Mother scheduled for November. Flashy and uproarious, these works and their makers seem almost vulgar when compared with Zaides's more modest mergence of movement and sound.
Both Marshall and Shechter work predominantly outside of Israel's dance scene and have, in the past, presented political inequality as a much more global concern. That Zaides and his team define Quiet's landscape and struggle as personal is the work's greatest strength.
Quiet is a collaborative project, composed of both Jewish and Arab dancers, actors, and designers. Begun in 2009 following the events in Gaza, it integrates new movement and speech into a structure informed by performers' ongoing responses to the volatile landscape.
A wall etched in bright graffiti stretches the length of the set – a physical and metaphoric symbol of Tel-Aviv's many divides. Against this, the four male performers work their way through a strenuous routine that Zaides's himself has described as "four solos, each voice informed by the others'."
Quiet's choreography seems almost institutionalized, drugged. Dancers appear to be traumatized by inner voices, unaware of the presence of other bodies until literally set upon. The work's violence rests in the personal landscape – that of the body and the mind – and enforced by thrusts, shakes, and screams.
When bodies come together they push and repel but rarely, I would say, dance. In a striking moment, one man places his hands and mouth to the head of another and speaks against it, filling it with noise. To the audience the sound is barely audible, but to the man being held, it is deafening, causing him to writhe in pain.
Quiet is intriguing and stays with you long after the fact.
Last chance to catch Quiet at the MAI tonight. Show starts 8pm.

Commissioners outline process to appoint sheriff
MORRIS - The Stevens County Board of Commissioners made plans to move forward to appoint a new sheriff, learned about the 2013 county assessments, and authorized the purchase of a new e-mail server at their regular board meeting Tuesday.
Human Resources Director Janet Raguse presented the board with an outline of her timeline for moving forward with the process to interview and appoint a new sheriff following Sheriff Randy Willis' resignation effective Dec. 31, 2012.
Applications for the position are due on Monday, Nov. 26. First, a committee made up of Raguse, County Attorney Aaron Jordan, and Commissioners Ron Staples and Phil Gausman will score the applications to determine which applicants will be interviewed.
Final interviews with the top three our four candidates will be completed by all five commissioners Raguse, Jordan, County Coordinator Brian Giese and a guest sheriff. Interviews are tentatively scheduled for Monday, Dec. 10.
During the discussion, Staples suggested that the process for hiring a new sheriff be delayed until after the two newly-elected commissioners - Bob Kopitzke and Donny Wohlers - take office.
"Since we have two new board members coming on, maybe this process should be delayed until they have some input into this decision of who we're going to hire," said Staples. "The new board members are the ones that are going to be working with the new sheriff."
Jordan said that he thought it would be good to invite Wohlers and Kopitzke to participate in the process and offer their opinions.
"Often times with these, after you've done the interviews, no matter how many people are there, a lot of times there is consensus with everyone and if there is consensus now perhaps we can more forward with it," said Jordan. "If there isn't consensus, then maybe it is something that could be delayed until January."
Preliminary 2013 assessments presented
The average overall increase on 2013 (payable 2014) assessments for agricultural land will be 20 percent, Stevens County Assessor Judy Thorstad to the board Tuesday.
The other major increase will be on tillable land, which will go up 22 percent. These numbers are still preliminary until they are reviewed by the Department of Revenue, Thorstad said.
The sale period for the assessments was Oct. 1, 2011 to Sept. 30, 2012, where there were 20 qualifying sales. Across the county, the average estimated market value per tillable acre is $4,655, and sale prices in the county varied from $3,042 to $7,000.
Other assessments across the county will vary by property type, but will include some equalization adjustments, said Thorstad.
Other business
The board authorized IT Director Scott Busche to purchase a new e-mail server after the county's six-year-old server had a "catastrophic hardware failure" after six years. Busche told the board that the typical replacement schedule for a server like this one is about five to seven years.
The new server will cost about $17,900 dollars - $5,300 for the hardware, $11,400 for a software update, and $1,200 in taxes.
The board accepted a community outreach grant of $2,298 from the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans Service Officer Hugh Reimers said he plans to use the grant money to organize a "stand down" - a community event that will bring services out into the community for veterans who may be reluctant to visit Reimers in his office.
The board approved warrants for the Human Services department for $96,300.

The new phenomenon startles even devotees of the miniskirt.

Lady Gaga, Prince William Break Down Mental Illness Stigma In Pond-Crossing FaceTime Call
Lady Gaga had previously opened up about her struggles with mental illness, and how she's learned to deal with them.
Lady Gaga had previously opened up about her struggles with mental illness, and how she's learned to deal with them.
Here's an announcement worthy of a royal congratulations -- Kate Middleton and Prince William are expecting their second child!
We now know the name of the eventual king of Great Britain, only two days after the future ruler's birth.
Congratulations are in order for Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton. The two are expecting a baby. Good job, guys! As aways whenever there is any kind of news for anybody, Twitter has gone nuts. Here are the funniest tweets about #royalbaby. Enjoy!
The tabloids have speculated for months now that Kate Middleton has a royal bun in the oven -- and, like the proverbial blind squirrel who eventually gets the nut, they're finally right.
Unfortunately Duluth suffered its first murder in nearly two years when a 28 year old man was allegedly murdered by 2 men he knew last Friday...
Halloween is MONDAY already! That means this weekend, there will be freaks everywhere. I mean, dressed up for Halloween. In addition to the freaks that are already out there. If you have a party to attend as a couple but haven't decided on a cute couples costume, here are a few suggestions from thenest.com:
Prince William got a spouse and the UK got a new princess in Kate Middleton, the not-so-common commoner who wed Wills today after a ten-year courtship. Here's everything you need to know about the lavish ceremony and the hysteria surrounding it:
Prince William and longtime love Kate Middleton tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at London's Westminster Abbey on Friday April 29. Among the 1900 guests were Sir Elton John and husband David Furnish, David and Victoria Beckham, and UK Prime Minister David Cameron and wife Samantha Sheffield...
Even though recent polls have shown that Americans aren't very interested in the royal wedding, research shows that American media is publishing twice as many stories about the wedding than Britain or Australia...

DEATH and taxes are the only things that are certain, some old guy once said. Plenty folk disprove his views on the powers of the Inland Revenue, but death? Worrying about it is enough to kill you.
We can cure some types of cancer, send punters into space, use DNA to prove exactly who sweated on that murdering chib 30 years ago and a hell of alot more. With all the progress we've made, now is a very good time to live. But, as ever, it's a good time to die.
Death is the great leveller that no one escapes from, no matter how much dosh they have. Even the death of a stranger is enough to illicit a pang of grief in us. Or is it?
Who didn't feel their emotions well up hearing of young Angelika Kluk's murder?
No one except the bitter, twisted and self-centred. Oh aye, and her killer, of course.
Confession time. After her death, driving past a Polish deli, the sight of the Saltire and the Polish flag draped in the window was enough to bring a tear to this wizened scribbler's eye.
Think I was the only one? Yet do we sympathise with the bereavement of some more than others? Can any of us admit to ever being pleased that someone had popped their clogs?
Moors murderer Myra Hindley maybe? Or when her partner in crime, Ian Brady, snuffs it? Understandable, but what of those no one has called monster?
I was just settling into the heat of Egypt when a pal phoned to tell me Glenn Lucas had suddenly died. We had written a book together about the Arlene Fraser case and you can't have that kind of partnership without friendship and admiration.
The simple, tragic news was enough to turn a country where the sun always shines as cold as the grave. For me at least.
But I knew there would be others who'd greet the news with a satisfied smile. The ones who would gain by his loss. The ones who were safer once he was dead. Tales of suicide and taking secrets to his grave soon hit the wire. All rubbish but more than that.
Glenn was beyond being hurt, of course. But what about his wife, Maya? And his elderly mother? Did the muck slingers think of them?
Even his best friends wouldn't claim Paul Ferris was a poet. When he placed an In Memoriam ad recently for his two murdered pals, Bobby Glover and Joe Hanlon, most folk would have respected it at face value - a man still grieving for his mates 15 years after their deaths.
Not so some dull-witted hack in one of those big papers that comes out on Sundays.
He had to dedicate some good few column inches slagging off Ferris's rhymes.
Fair dos. Paul Ferris is grown-up enough to take criticism. Yet did the short-on-stories journo think of Hanlon and Glover's grieving families? Let's hope not, since that would have been deliberately cruel.
But if he didn't, why didn't he?
If you've been convicted of a crime or simply charged then freed, does that make your family fair game for every cheap-shot artist around?
What would we think of someone being so cruel to Helen Lennie who tragically watched her sons, Robert and John, being gunned down by David "Deid-Eye" Docherty?
Or to Kriss Donald's mum as the details of his death unfold at the trial of those accused of his murder. We all know, don't we.
Flash across the Atlantic to the Amish community mourning the senseless slaughter of their schoolgirls by Charles Carl Roberts. Not only are they talking about forgiveness, they have said that Roberts' wife and family would be welcome at the girls' funerals.
In all their grief and pain, they still manage to reach out and understand that the wife of the killer isn't the killer. That she, too, is in pain. That she needs to grieve.
The Amish might live, talk and dress in a way that most of us don't fancy.
But a little of their humanity might make our world a better place. Wouldn't it?

How to Tighten Aged Skin on Arms and LegsBy Maureen Devine
Antioxidants are also important for skin cells as they are with the rest of the body. Free radicals are a major cause of soft and generally look older. Antioxidants are our only defense against free radical damage.
Consumers need to know what to look for. There are some companies that claim antioxidant effect because the absorption of artificial preservatives.
Technically, they are antioxidants, but they are required to protect skin cells from oxidative stress. They are not as aged skin on arms and legs move, either.
The ingredients are in search of natural vitamin E (most companies use synthetic kind because it's cheaper) and coenzyme Q10 (must be worded correctly, or it will not be able to penetrate cells skin).
Natural oils
Grape seed and jojoba oil have been shown to reduce wrinkles and stretch marks. They provide essential fatty acids that the skin needs moisture and good health.
Moist skin looks younger and firmer. Therefore, a natural moisturizer is an important ingredient, such as aged skin on arms and legs, or move elsewhere on the body.
Body lotions contain mineral oil at low prices and petroleum jelly, which is not really moisturizing, because they do not penetrate the skin layers.
Manuka honey
All varieties of honey have antioxidant properties and antibacterial activity. Manuka Honey is a variety of mono-floral, which has the highest level of activity. It is an important part of how aging skin tightening on the arms and legs because of its antioxidant activity and because it stimulates the immune system, restoration and rejuvenation of skin cells.
Wakame seaweed and bio-available keratin
Wakame kelp extracts have been shown to prevent the degradation of hyaluronic acid. Levels of glucose-amino acid derivative are much lower in the elderly skin. The lower levels are a major cause of subsidence. But all the ingredients I mentioned, there is nothing more effective than bio-available keratin.
Clinical studies have shown the protein to use as much as a 42% improvement in strength after only 18 days. The researchers found a 160% increase in the proliferation of skin cells in less than three days. One could say that the allowance that you can push some new skin.
Skin-cell production usually decreases with age, so that the skin becomes thinner, which is why we see collapse. There is other factors play a role in how you pull in aged skin on arms and legs, and on the face and neck. Maybe you want to know more about them.
And while you do, keep in mind the old standby, good nutrition and exercise.

UFC on Fuel 8 March 2nd the most exciting MMA event of 2013?
I know its not full of top 5 guys but these are some of the most exciting fighters IN MMA HISTORY. It will be hard to top this event in action. Ufc is really trying to make Fuel work. Great news they struck a deal with Comcast to show fuel!
Wanderlei Silva (34-12-1) vs. Brian Stann (12-5) is gonna be an all out slugfest until somebody goes unconscious. Wandy always comes out slugging and St Ann doesn't shy away from a brawl.
Mark Hunt (8-7) vs. Stefan Struve (25-5) Guaranteed fireworks 2 of the most exciting heavyweights who always love to finish. It will action packed til a crazy finish when Struve either submits him after getting almost knocked silly, or Hunt puts him to sleep. Both on good winning streak, whoever wins is looking at a top 5 opponent next fight. This and the next fight on this card with gomi-sanchez are my favorites for FIGHT OF THE YEAR nevertheless night. Hunt and Strive can be durable.
Takanori Gomi (34-8) vs. Diego Sanchez. EASILY favorite for Fight of the night/year candidate. When has either ever been in a boring fight? Diego never stops coming and Gomi will be honored to slug back! it will be an all out war! 2 of the most exciting fighters ever
! Yushin Okami vs. Hector Lombard. Sure Okami is capable of stinkers but I'm big on Lombard I think he has the judo to stay on the feet long enough til he lands on Okamis chinto put him to sleep. The biggest question is. Who gets KO of the night?

Dangerous fight for Wanderlei, pretty much anyone with KO power is a REALLY dangerous fight for him nowadays. I like him better at 205 though, that weight drain does not do good things for your punch resistance, especially at 36 years old. I still think Wanderlei has the ability to win though, he has to take Brain Stann down and GnP. Tough choice but I am a huge W.Silva fan so I'll go with him.
Hunt can take a punch, Struve should win though. Hunt has no real movement left and relies on landing that bomb. If Struve fights smart he will win. I got Struve.
A fan of both Gomi/Sanchez, but I would maybe just edge it for Gomi. He is not as good as he was back in the day but I think he still has enough left to beat Sanchez.
Okami seems to be a very nice guy but I can't stand his fighting style. I got Lombard to win. Great TKdown defence and great stand up.

Sound — 10
OK, I'm back again with another review of a Bad Religion album. 1988 was the year for those guys to do a sucessful come back with an album and the reincarnation of the "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" line-up, adding Greg Hetson (of Circle Jerks) as the second guitarist of the band, who officially became a member of the band for their 1984 EP "Back to the Known". By many, this album, Suffer, is always credited as one of the best punk albums of the 1980s (along with "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?" and this album's follow-up "No Control"). It is a must have for everybody who listens to punk rock, and everyone who knows how to play guitar. Songwriter Mr. Brett is one of my guitar heroes in the world. The other instruments are also very well played.
Lyrics — 10
Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz wrote some great lyrics on this album. Some lyrics to the songs off this album could be based on hard lives ("When?"), the U.S. is treated like a bomb threat ("Suffer") and funny tricks ("Give You Nothing"). I think the lyrics to "When?" are kind of hilarious (like "the world will stop turning, so will you?") and "Do What You Want" ("Break all the f--king rules and go to hell with Superman and die like a champion"). Good lord, those guys just don't seem to stop writing lots of funny lyrics, don't they? If you get Suffer, I recommend you listen to "You Are the Government", "1000 More Fools", "How Much Is Enough?", "Give You Nothing", "Land of Competition", "Suffer", "Part II (The Numbers Game)", "Do What You Want" and maybe every single track.
Overall Impression — 10
I've always been a huge fan of Bad Religion and Greg Graffin has a fine voice that sounds like Social Distortion's Mike Ness and like I said before, Mr. Brett is one of my guitar heroes in the world. This is a great album with Brett and and it does sound quite as good as the next two albums (1989's "No Control" and 1991's "Against the Grain") with original drummer Pete Finestone before his departure in 1991, nearly three years before Bad Religion rose to popularity with the "Stranger Than Fiction" album. I've always enjoyed listening to lots of Bad Religion albums with Brett in them and never liked any without him, but "The Gray Race" was a fine album, though. Over all Suffer is a higly recommended album for the guys who are into punk like me. If I ever lost it I would diffently buy it again. If I lose my own copy of this album, I'm sure I can buy a new one or just download the all songs and burn them onto a CD-R.

But instead of turning in signature sheets, Belgarde tossed in the towel, saying that the election division had changed the rules on him at the last minute.
"It's not fair," Belgarde said at a press conference. "This literally chops our legs out from under us."
Belgarde, who also serves as the executive director for the Christian Coalition, explained that the "new" requirements demand strict adherence to a sign-and-date rule. Under these rules, petitioners must identify what day a person signed the petition. Belgarde said that his volunteer signature gatherers had screwed up a few hundred sheets by stamping them with the wrong date, but had corrected their mistakes by crossing out the date and initialing the changes.
Belgarde claims they would have had enough signatures to force a recall vote on Linn and Naito, but that they "stopped counting once we learned about the new rule."
However, election officials are baffled at how Belgarde could have misunderstood the rules. The laws have been on the books for two years as a "temporary rule" but were made official and permanent this April.
This is also not Belgarde's first tangle with election rules. Last year, Belgarde tried to spearhead a recall effort against Mayor Vera Katz. That signature drive also failed and, in the process, Belgarde violated several election laws. He has yet to pay fines due on those violations.
Belgarde says he will now wait until after the November elections before restarting recall efforts against Linn and Serena Cruz.
Meanwhile, Belgarde's efforts to bring about a ballot measure outlawing same-sex marriages continue. His group has been hanging around churches on the weekends gathering signatures. They have three weeks to pick up more than 100,000 valid signatures. Belgarde has refused to answer questions about whether using churches for partisan political purposes violates their tax-exempt status.

Plot is clear.
Long ago, during hte age of dinosaurs on Earth. In heaven there was developed this magical device wihch is the key. Bad guy tried to steal it but he lost it adn the key was picked up by the humans. The key made them smarter possibly and gave good advantages. Then they key got to aliens, then back to humans in 1947. Obvously it has some super mysterious power which people try to harness and use to their own merit. Looks like the key should have belonged to that star child or something.

Silverado Restaurant Review: Silverados media hype has put it on the suburban-restaurant map, but the food doesnt always live up to expectations. The crowds do, however, so plan your visit accordingly. The menu draws are the Southwestern and Tex-Mex dishes that have a few interesting twists. We recommend the Tex-Mex egg rolls with avocado dip and the Monterey chicken salad, a good choice for calorie counters. Less inspiring are the house special, the lobster bisque, and the overheated fajitas. Nightly specials---blackened prime rib or soft-shell crab tacos---may prove more satisfying. If you plan on chatting with friends or closing a business deal, the bad acoustics will nix that. Background music and laughter drown out any quiet conversation.

The Iceberg Water Cooling System
Features Part 1
This content was originally featured on Amdmb.com and has been converted to PC Perspective's website. Some color changes and flaws may appear.
The Iceberg kit is designed for those who wish to get their feet wet without a huge investment in cash & time that some other companies require. It comes with everything you will need to completely setup a fully functional water cooling system in about a ½ hr's time , with little or no case modifications necessary. The Iceberg works with Intel Socket 370/423/478 and AMD socket A processors and includes everything shown here BUT the Via Aqua 1300 pump with brass nipples [which is only there for size comparison]
The pump is rated for 150 gph and consumes about 7 watts. It sits inside a 90mm x 95mm x 100mm 2 part molded clear/ blue 100% Polycarbonate container that seals up with a rubber gasket. A 0.375" pre molded nipple on the inside of the reservoir lid and a short piece of tubing are used to connect the pump to the 0.375" output lines in the system. .Fitting the top of the reservoir to the base was the hardest part of the installation, which ,other then trying to seal it up with the thin rubber gasket they use for a water tight fit , was actually quite simple.[ Try at your own risk ,I never tried it but a small dab of super glue to hold the seal in place may make that an easier chore ] .

How does a pacemaker work?
A pacemaker consists of a battery, a computerized generator, and wires with sensors at their tips. (The sensors are called electrodes.) The battery powers the generator, and both are surrounded by a thin metal box. The wires connect the generator to the heart.
A pacemaker helps monitor and control your heartbeat. The electrodes detect your heart's electrical activity and send data through the wires to the computer in the generator.
If your heart rhythm is abnormal, the computer will direct the generator to send electrical pulses to your heart. The pulses travel through the wires to reach your heart.
Newer pacemakers can monitor your blood temperature, breathing, and other factors. They also can adjust your heart rate to changes in your activity.
The pacemaker's computer also records your heart's electrical activity and heart rhythm. Your doctor will use these recordings to adjust your pacemaker so it works better for you.
Your doctor can program the pacemaker's computer with an external device. He or she doesn't have to use needles or have direct contact with the pacemaker.
Pacemakers have one to three wires that are each placed in different chambers of the heart.
- The wires in a single-chamber pacemaker usually carry pulses from the generator to the right ventricle (the lower right chamber of your heart).
- The wires in a dual-chamber pacemaker carry pulses from the generator to the right atrium (the upper right chamber of your heart) and the right ventricle. The pulses help coordinate the timing of these two chambers' contractions.
- The wires in a biventricular pacemaker carry pulses from the generator to an atrium and both ventricles. The pulses help coordinate electrical signaling between the two ventricles. This type of pacemaker also is called a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device.
Types of Pacemaker Programming
The two main types of programming for pacemakers are demand pacing and rate-responsive pacing.
A demand pacemaker monitors your heart rhythm. It only sends electrical pulses to your heart if your heart is beating too slow or if it misses a beat.
A rate-responsive pacemaker will speed up or slow down your heart rate depending on how active you are. To do this, the device monitors your sinus node rate, breathing, blood temperature, and other factors to determine your activity level.
Your doctor will work with you to decide which type of pacemaker is best for you.

"We could put parking in the front yard and cut down some of the beautiful oak trees out there. I'd really hate to see it become a wall of parking. But I guess we could consider that."
Related quotes
"We do tend to have more issues with the oaks. We have a lot of oak trees that are 100 to 150 years old, and oaks typically begin breaking down in the 150- to 200-year-old range, although there are always exceptions to that."
"Let me look upward into the branches of the flowering oak and know that it grew great and strong because it grew slowly and well."
"[Since arriving in Oak Park in early summer, Collins has met one-on-one with each board member, principal, top administrator. She says she asked her staff members to assess their strengths and weaknesses, to set one personal professional goal for the year. A common request among principals was for training in] quick walk-throughs. ... They want to know what to look for. We can help them with that."
