LaTrouffe (11) , Belgium | November 13, 2012
Belle sélection de bières d'être un restaurant, une excellente cuisine typique de la région. Bières très classiques.
Bryne (905) Bryne, Norway | July 27, 2012
Super location on the banks of river Ourthe. Nice patio where most people are seated during the summer. Local cuisine and attentive service. The staffs English language skills varies from perfect "American" to hardly any English words at all. Good beer selection, but no hard to find beer. St. Feuillien Blonde/Brune and Tripel Karmeliet on tap is not a bad choice! You can also try the speciality "Picon Biere" from the north of France.(Visited July 2nd and 5th 2012)

In chess, the psychological dimension that springs from a dialogue between two brains, two ideas, two strategic conceptions that depend on the personality of each chess player has long been somewhat of a romantic mystery. How do Grandmasters think? What strategies do they use?
More often than not, the most successful strategies are rooted in our very own nature. And common to most Grandmasters is that they almost never take the easy way out. A different, better alternative is always available, and they go looking for it. That creativity, that compulsion, that drive to look beyond what comes instinctively is what fuels successful strategies and explains why so few Grandmasters are out there.Read more...

Kim Kardashian wants to a date a "normal, Armenian boy". The 29-year-old beauty – who is rumoured to be dating American football star Miles Austin – joked she is looking for a normal man despite her family trying to set her up with Hollywood stars.
Speaking on the red carpet at Emmy Awards, Kim said: "I'm dating. But I don't like blind dates. "My mother is trying to come up with all these names in Hollywood, and I'm like, 'Just get me out of here, I want a normal Armenian boy.' "I absolutely love them. But I don't know if this one worked out that well." Kim has previously joked she would date teen star Justin Bieber if he was "of legal age".
Talking about the 16-year-old singer, she said: "Would I date him? If he was of legal age. He definitely has this swag to him." However, she later confirmed she was not being serious and wouldn't date anyone younger than 20. She said: "I was joking! It's like, 'Come on, people,' I would never seriously date a 16 year old, an 18 year old, a 20 year old. It's all in fun. I like 'em young but even if he was legal, that's still too young for me."

Haiku: Happy Thanksgiving In Ten Takes…
"The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest." William Blake
Happy Thanksgiving!
It's formed with 5 syllables
I'm grateful for that
On this special day
We give thanks for our blessings
Gratitude abounds
A rare gift this year
Hanukkah and Thanksgiving
Let's celebrate both
A quote floated by…
"Thankful people are happy!"
On Facebook today
Say thanks and prayers
Life is short. We never know…
For whom the bell tolls
Thanksgiving is truly the beginning of the Holiday Season in the US, and families gather to give thanks, celebrate with loved ones and share their good fortune. Thanksgiving 2013 stands as a very unique one because it falls on the same day as the start of Hanukkah. What a delightful day to be thankful for the diversity in the world! What Are You Thankful For this season? As we prepare to enjoy our thanksgiving meal and the weekend, let's not forget these important Thanksgiving Tips: Share the history/heritage of Thanksgiving, Give thanks, volunteer, and share your gratitude with all, Practice food safety and eat in moderation, and Gather informative, safety driving and travel tips. Enjoy the festivities and send hugs and love to all who might be hurting or alone on this special day. Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy!
More Below!
"If you are really thankful, what do you do? You share." W. Clement Stone
Always remember
Writing a haiku a day
Keeps blocked heads at bay
In case we forget
To say thanks and a prayer
Sweet smiles will suffice
Don't count your seedlings
Plant them with care; tend with love
What we sow, will grow.
Do count your blessings
Add your friends and family
Share some with the poor…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Share some food, love, and goodwill
Now, what could top that?
The joy of Haiku, like the joy of Thanksgiving, is that you can be playful or philosophical and still get your message across. The WP DailyPost Weekly Challenge called for five days of Haiku, and I have duly indulged my love of the genre here; Two for each day = a total of Ten stanzas (five above and five below) in honor of Thanksgiving. I chose the traditional 17 morae Haiku 5-7-5 phrasing/syllable format. (Line 1 = 5; Line 2 = 7; and Line 3 = 5 syllables.) Don't get bogged down with too many details this holiday season, go with the flow and choose only what you can use. Share a holiday haiku below if you wish. I hope you enjoyed mine. How did you/do you plan to celebrate Thanksgiving? How would you have written your fun haiku? Do share! Have an inspired weekend! Thank you.
This post was inspired by a prompt from WP Daily Post: Weekly Writing Challenge: Haiku Catchoo! For this week's challenge,You can write two haiku one day and three the next, or five all in one day, or one haiku every day from today through Friday — the choice is entirely up to you.
Positive Motivation Tip: Treat every day as a day of Thanksgiving and watch your gratitude quotient grow.

Spending Thanksgiving,
In California's L.A.,
Is unique this year.
Meeting an old friend,
Now for the very first time,
Known only online.
Sending help back home,
While enjoying the air here,
I'm grateful for that.

Enjoyed the second haiku the most, especially the line about sharing with the poor. It's important to remember (and help) those who don't have a table full of food this holiday season.

Welcome back! Glad to know about Haiku, My family is the source of my happiness. Happy Thanksgiving!

Release Date: 2004 |
This review is surprisingly shorter then my other review. O.o
It was really hard to write without making it a track-by-track so please don't be too harsh.
Good review, your other one was much better, but this is short and right to the point. This album sounds sorta interesting, but I don't think it's my cup of tea.
What made this one so hard is the fact that I couldn't do track by track cause every track follows the same formula and I couldn't evaluate it on the level I did Weakling because there isn't as much to evaluate. I could of gone into her history but that wouldn't of been very good for a review I don't think.
I think this review is fitting enough, you got right to describing the music and you described the sound well. The fact that the bass is fairly prominent is intriguing.
She is a much better bassist then a guitarist, that's for sure.
Bass always adds a lot to the music when it's played well.
Any one else going to give me some good feedback??
Nice review, especially for your second. A little more information would have been nice in describing the instruments, but good job nonetheless.
Thank you. I'll try to improve that with my next review.
you didn't mention enough about the most important instrument, the drums. A nice review that is to the point otherwise.This Message Edited On 08.17.07
Technically the keyboard is the most important instrument here, but you're right. It's kind of hard for me to describe the drums outside the fact that they're programmed.
I completely skipped over the word programming in your review, I am very sorry.
>.< I forgive you.
I think it's funny she decided to call herself Hildr Valkyrie, especially since Hildr was already one of the most famous Valkyries.
And yes, I'm a mythology geek, and not just Norse mythology either.
I don't know much about Norse but I do know a bit of Greek.
She seems to have quite a bit of Norse mythological influence in this, which makes this album intriguing.
I might just have to look into this.
It's only available by downloading now. I got mine back when it came out and I visited Italy. I just so happened to find it in a used CD bin.
I'll find it. ;)
That chick on the cover of this album is hawt.

I would assume that's her.

Sun Coverage
CARSON CITY – When early voting opened Saturday morning for next month's primary election, there were lines in many of Nevada's counties of voters waiting to cast their ballots.
But the surge slackened off.
In Clark County, where there are 1,060,522 registered to vote, only 4,133 had cast ballots by 2 p.m. , which was four hours after early voting polls opened.
Matt Griffin, deputy secretary of state in charge of elections said after the 10 a.m. opening that it's "been pretty quiet. . . . There has been no indication of problems."
Early voting usually draws 20-25 percent of those registered to vote. Griffin predicts a close to 30 percent turnout in the Republican primary election.
The race for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate and for governor has drawn the most interest.
Gov. Jim Gibbons, who has been a controversial figure, is, according to polls, trailing former U.S. District Judge Brian Sandoval of Reno. If the polls hold true, Gibbons would be the first sitting governor to be defeated in a primary election.
Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid has only token opposition in the Democratic primary for governor.
Republicans have conducted a spirited campaign for the nomination to challenge Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat.
Former state Senator and Las Vegas businesswoman Sue Lowden is fighting it out with former state Assemblywoman Sharron Angle of Reno and Danny Tarkanian of Las Vegas to win the primary to go up against Reid in November.
Candidates are still making the rounds trying to pile up votes. Early voting continues until June 4 and primary election day is June 8.

Marine Operations
Marine operations are some of the most demanding types of incidents
encountered by the Fire and Rescue Department. The success of a water
rescue incident is dependent on the application of advanced skills
acquired thourgh specialized training and advanced working knowledge of
marine equipment, and a thorough understanding of the waterways bordering
and within Fairfax County. Marine operations consist of incidents
involving swift water (rapids, white water, etc.), static water (lakes,
ponds, etc.), and open water (rivers, bays, etc.).

Which God Are You On, Part II
The Christian Right grabs all the headlines, but I've always wondered about the Left. After all, not all of us Jesus freaks revel in gaybashing, opposing a woman's right to choose, or leading prayers in public schools. A leftist religious political counterpart to such groups as the Family Research Council, the Traditional Values Coalition, and Concerned Women for America should exist, and it sort of does. Sort of.
The Clergy Leadership Network (CLN) is a coalition of liberal and moderate religious leaders who are officially non-partisan but seek to "operate from an expressly religious and expressly partisan point-of-view." Though primarily composed of Protestants, the network boasts Catholics, Jews, and apparently would love to involve Muslims in the quest to "regain the soul of our country." CLN issues of focus include U.S. foreign policy, civil rights, economic parity, healthcare reform, and environmental protection. The CLN has Section 527 status, which is a newish tax-exempt designation for groups that accept contributions with the explicit intent to influence the "selection, nomination, election, or appointment of any individual to Federal, State, or local public office or office in a political organization, or the election of Presidential electors." The network can't donate to candidates, but it can raise unlimited funds from donors as long as all income and expenditures are reported to the IRS. It can also run its own television and print ads.
While the advent of such a group bodes well for many people, the fact that the first national liberal religious group has only coalesced now, emphasizes how much liberal Christians have fallen off since the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr., or going further back, since the days of Antebellum reform, or, if you wanna get right down to it, since the days of the New Testament. Liberal Christians once defined religious politics as much as the Christian Right has since the 1980s. (For those interested, last March Chicago Public Radio aired a program about the history of the Christian Left.) Nonetheless, the radical arm of Christianity lives.
The Center for Progressive Christianity is less overtly motivated by politics than the CLN, but it does have an interesting slant, which is that "religion doesn't have to be irrelevant, ineffectual, [or] repressive. . . ." In addition to "upholding evangelism as an agent of justice and peace," TCPC promotes social and environmental justice by rejecting privilege and dogma. Formed in 1996 by a retired Episcopalian priest, TCPC alleges itself to be "the most liberal established Christian group within Christianity," but I suspect that mantle might best belong to the pacifistic / anarchistic Jesus Radicals—social change activists who have tasked themselves with "nothing less than a complete change of allegiance from passively or actively supporting oppression to working for liberation."
I don't know that any of these groups have the muscle yet to take on the momentum of the right's "evangelical revolution," as Jerry Falwell described it when discussing how his newest group, the Faith and Values Coalition, is already preping for the 2008 presidental election. It's not that I doubt the comeback potential of a Christian Left movement—look at the Quakers—but the problem is these new groups seem rather roundabout. I see the heavyweight with the heart to go 15 rounds but lacking the stomach to deliver the knockout punch needed. Maybe it's time to stop turning the other cheek.
Bonus: Quiz on the separation of church and state. You might be surprised.

The death has taken place of animator and director Jimmy Murakami, an influential figure in Irish animation. He was 80.
The Japanese-American had a long and distinguished career; among his best-known works are the animated adaptations of the Raymond Briggs books When the Wind Blows and The Snowman.
Living and working in Ireland for many years, Murakami was the subject of a 2010 feature documentary film, Jimmy Murakami - Non Alien, made by Irish director Sé Merry Doyle and produced by Martina Durac and Vanessa Gildea of Loopline Films.
Jimmy Murakami - Non Alien was premiered in Dublin at the 2010 IFI Stranger than Fiction Film Festival.
Paying tribute, Cathal Gaffney, CEO of Irish animation company Brown Bag Films, said Murakami was "a founding father of Irish animation" and a "huge inspiration to so many".

I picked up a tin of this tea at a relatively new tea store on Lexington Ave in Manhattan and was thinking DARK and FULL BODIED, perhaps a great winter tea, or fatigue fighter. That is not what brewed. Instead the brew is actually rather light and not as intense as the label suggests. The taste is more delicate than brute, and in fact is quite pleasant and neatly fragrant. I've been using lately as an iced tea and rather enjoy it this way.

Old Hollywood Names
Are there any Old Hollywood Names that you like or would class as being usable today?
Names such as Ava, Grace, Harlow and James seem to be quite popular at the moment, but are there any names that are associated with Old Hollywood films/actors that appeal to you?
Personally, the names Ginger (as in Ginger Rogers) and Lucille (as in Lucille Ball) are starting to really appeal to me. Also, after watching a lot of Hitchcock movies I'm starting to really like Hedren (as in Tippi Hedren) but I think that'll just remain a guilty pleasure of mine... maybe a middle name at a push!

DOVER — A new police station may be closer to materializing following tonight's City Council meeting.
The council is expected to vote on the awarding of design services for a proposed Dover police facility. According to City Manager Mike Joyal, a committee was appointed to coordinate the building of the police station. As part of their work, they were asked to conduct interviews and solicit bids from an architect.
Following that interview process, which was conducted July 1, the committee ultimately selected Lavallee Brensinger Architects of Manchester. According to the resolution, the city reached a negotiated agreement with Lavallee Brensinger to provide a facility needs assessment, site selection and conceptual design services in the amount of $92,358.
The resolution material, available on the city's website, provides a "generally understood" project schedule that calls for site selection between October and December of this year.
The council will also vote to authorize the city to participate in the state's Clean Water State Revolving Fund for Dover's wastewater treatment facility. The City Council held a public hearing on the matter during a July 25 meeting. According to Joyal, receiving a loan from the state allows the city to finance necessary upgrades to the plan, which is 20 years old. Joyal estimated the costs of the improvements to be approximately $9 million. He has previously stated that participating in the revolving fund will establish more certainty over interest rates and allow the city to only borrow necessary money as upgrades are completed.
The City Council is also set to approve the employment agreement for newly-hired City Attorney Anthony Blenkinsop. Blenkinsop, the former director of the Charitable Trusts Unit with the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, is set to take over as the city's legal counsel at the end of August.
As legal counsel for the city, Blenkinsop's responsibilities include representing the city and its departments in District and Superior Court, drafting resolutions and ordinances and updating city officials on legislation and legal decisions. He will also serve as a legal consultant to boards and officials and attend City Council meetings. His annual salary will be $88,500.
An update of the Phase II environmental site assessment of the First Street lot development will be provided. The City Council approved a proposed redevelopment of the parking lot into a pair of mixed use buildings last month. Joyal said some petroleum was found in some of the soil on the lot, possibly the remnant of a former gas station on that site. Joyal said the city needs to provide a plan for removing this soil and disposing of it. The resolution will allow the City Council to approve the hiring of a consultant to come up with that plan.
Other items on the agenda include a resolution to lease office space in the McConnell Center to Community Partners, discussion of the establishment of other post employment benefits and the continuation of authentication and codification of city ordinances.

Aldermen listed issues including waterfront erosion, street conditions, tourism development and quality of life for citizens.
Only a few weeks into the new year, the Southport Board of Aldermen is already thinking about the 2013-14 budget process.
Officials began discussing the spending plan, which will take effect at the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1, at a Thursday night goals development workshop. This preliminary step is a new measure initiated by City Manager Pat Thomas, hired last April after the 2012-13 process had already started. In years past a daylong budget retreat, typically held on a Saturday in February, served as the kickoff to budget planning. Aldermen have not yet scheduled this year's retreat but got a preview of what they will see during that session.
Thomas told the board he wanted to avoid having "a reactive budget," and therefore hoped to get initial input from the elected officials about what they saw as the city's priorities so he can shape the proposed plan accordingly.
"It's always been my feeling that the budget should be goals-driven," he said.
Thomas prompted the generation of ideas by posing the following question to the board: "What are the most important challenges, needs and opportunities facing Southport (which the city is able to address)?"
Responses from aldermen included waterfront erosion, street conditions, tourism development, quality of life for citizens, update and maintenance of infrastructure, outreach and community relations, and emergency services.
The next step was for aldermen to use colored slips of paper as votes to indicate which items held the most interest for them. Thomas will compile the results, breaking them down into goals and accompanying implementation measures, and present them at the retreat.
One of the biggest challenges of the next budget will be finding new ways to bring money into the city's coffers, Thomas said.
"I think we need to look carefully at all of our sources of revenue that we have some control over," he said. "Overall we just need to comb through and see where we can actually produce some revenue. Everything's worth looking at, whether we pursue it or not."
Also on Thursday, aldermen voted to begin their Feb. 14 regular meeting at 7 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. to allow everyone to attend the "Safe Haven" premiere party from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Southport Community Building.

Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
Can an employer require an employee to wear a name tag with the first AND last? Legally can you be forced to wear a nametag that reveals you full name? I'm totally fine with just the first name but feel that since i work in an environment with some legally insane and violent patrons i should not have to reveal my full name.
It has been around two years since the local mental hospital shut its doors and a lot of the mentally ill seek shelter in this library.

An employer generally can't "force" you to do anything. In turn, you can't "force" the employer to retain you as an employee if you don't follow their policies and instructions. You may have a valid concern, but it is not a legal issue.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Hold ings Inc., the nation's second-largest tobacco company, and smaller rival Brown & William son Tobacco Corp. have held talks about merging their U.S. operations, a newspaper re port ed Wednesday.
The discussions have occur red in fits and starts for some time and a deal appears far from imminent, the Wall Street Journal reported.
R.J. Reynolds, based in Winston-Salem, N.C., makes Camel and Winston cigarettes. Louisville-based Brown & Williamson is the third biggest U.S. cigarette company with brands such as Lucky Strike, Pall Mall and Kent.
They are distant rivals to Altria Group's Philip Morris which makes top-selling Marlboro cigarettes as well as Virginia Slims, Benson & Hedges and Basic.
The newspaper said under one scenario, RJR would acquire Brown & Williamson in a stock transaction that would make London-based BAT a major shareholder in RJR.
Another option is to create a joint venture comprised of significant portions of each of the U.S. businesses and that would be owned by the parent companies, the Journal report said.
There also has been recent speculation that BAT might take over RJR.
Neither company was saying much about the report.
"As a matter of policy, we do not comment on speculation," RJR spokesman Seth Moskowitz said Wednesday.
BAT spokesman Dave Betteridge said, "It is no secret that we are looking for acquisitions, but what we have never done is to discuss any individual company."
"It's not surprising there are rumors and things because we've said, having completed the successful merger of Rothmans into BAT, that we're looking again. There are relatively few large players left that we would consider," he said.
Even if there were no deal, the discussions highlight the dire situation facing the major American tobacco companies because of higher taxes, settlement payments to state governments for health costs of treating sick smokers and competition from discount brands.
"I have said for almost five years that the big four manufacturers in the U.S. will someday become the big three," says Bonnie Herzog, an analyst at Smith Barney with an "underweight" rating on RJR shares. "It makes a lot of sense that RJR would rethink its business."
RJR has slashed its profit forecasts and has given up its sponsorship of the NASCAR auto-racing series known as the Winston Cup as it looks for ways to save money.
RJR stock, which started to drop sharply last fall and hit a 52-week low of $27.52 on May 1, since has risen by more than a third.

TENGA Egg Stepper
Great first time male masturbator
Reviewed: February 11, 2017 by Jefnjaq, a Straight Engaged Female
Having never used a male masturbator before and not wanting to spend a fortune in case it wasn't for me I decided to try the Tenga eggs. I have to say I wasn't disappointed.
It comes with a sachet of lube inside for first use and I found the Tenga lube was nice to continue using. Once you've put the lube inside I found it best to squeeze it and spread the lube around the egg rather than just the tip. As a first time user, I have to say I was more than happy with the egg, the sensation was amazing and more intense than I expected.
It does say it's recommended for single use but like other reviewers, I found it easy to clean and reuse until it needed replacing. I have now used a few different Tenga eggs and have enjoyed exploring the range.
- Pros
- Texture, lube, price, packaging, perfect little package.
- Cons
- Does take a bit to dry.
- Bottom line
- Great for first masturbator, saved myself the money on a more expensive product.

Cheap, cheerful, cute and effective
Reviewed: July 3, 2016 by Mischief & Trouble, a Straight Going Steady Female
Me and my OH love these TENGA eggs and they have been a great introduction to using male masturbators as foreplay.
Don't be put off by them being advertised as only for one-time use, as if you combine them with lots of lube and clean them with Lovehoney's toy cleaner and some Fleshlight renew powder they will last a lot longer.
I think ours lasted about 6 months before the stretch finally gave and my OH put his tip through it, which considering the price is fantastic value for money.
We got this model in a set of 6 TENGA eggs (which sadly seems to have been discontinued), and this texture was my OH's favourite based on the moans that escaped him during use.
Great fun and very non-threatening for beginners.
- Pros
- Everything!
- Cons
- Nothing, it's perfect.
- Bottom line
- Easy to use and lasts a lot longer than advertised.

This product is like an adult's version of a kinder egg, you peel the plastic open the egg and, voila, a little rubber egg inside.
On first look, it seems as though it could break but don't worry it stretches far more than you need it to, the free lube that comes with it is more than enough and a very good lube.
The product itself it very effective, once you've poured the lube in and started you feel things you've never felt before, areas you've never seemed to touch, if I'm honest I didn't really last long with it, but at the end you put it back in its shell and throw away, job done.
A fantastic one use toy but with a rinse could be used again and again til breaking point.
- Pros
- Simple packaging, surprising feeling.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great toy.

Soils with at least weak development from prairie areas in the Black Hills Ponderosa pine forest have horizon differentiation that is more characteristic of forest than grassland soils. The lower A horizon contains more sand, but less clay and silt, and has more exchangeable hydrogen than is characteristic of prairie soils in western South Dakota. The platy or nearly structureless lower A horizons and the B horizons with reddish-colored blocky structure are similar to those of the adjacent forested soils and probably developed under forest. Thus, the soils in the grasslands apparently were suitable for forest in the past and probably are not a factor in causing the prairie today.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

text: This was my second attempt at a beef brisket. The first one I did came out very tough and not very good. This brisket came out very tender, had a decent smoke ring, but was really dry. I smoked it at about 225 degrees, wrapped it in foil and added liquid when the internal temp was b/w 165 and 170. I took it off the smoker when the internal temp hit 190 and wrapped it in some towels and let it sit in a cooler for 2 hours. I had water in the smoker the whole time. I also had the fat side up. I need some tips on what may have gone wrong or what I could do keep it moist.

People-friendly Elephant and Castle regeneration plan axed by Transport for London
- By London Cycling Campaign on at 3:00pm 13 July 2011
- Posted in: News and blogs, Southwark
- Tagged with: elephant and castle, traffic, trafalgar square, roundabout, pedestrians
- Boroughs: Southwark
A new 'Trafalgar Square', a people-friendly space in a run-down area of South London: surely this is something our Mayor would embrace?
Elephant and Castle has become the latest victim of Transport for London and the Mayor's strict adherence to 'smoothing the flow', ensuring the free flow of motor vehicles at the expense of the safety, convenience and comfort of pedestrians and cyclists.
Mention the Elephant roundabout to many Londoners, and they'll probably cringe at the sheer awfulness of the place, and most local cyclists will have a not-too-distant memory of a high-speed near-miss with a car or lorry.
Tragically, if you mention this location to a not-insignificant number of people, they think of loved ones who've been killed there in collisions with motor vehicles, or those who've suffered permanent injuries as a result of daring to negotiate the motorway-style road layout by bike.
Only today, a cyclist suffered a broken arm riding around the Elephant and Castle roundabout.
Time for change
Making Elephant and Castle more bike and people-friendly has been discussed for decades (watch this news clip of us from 1985), and earlier this year it looked like a redevelopment plan strongly favoured by Southwark Council would finally provide an antidote to decades of car-centric planning.
The hope is to create something that seems an obvious benefit to the area: a large, people-friendly public space. The centrepiece of the plan is a new civic square, which uses an aptly christened 'peninsula' to connect the shopping centre to the rest of the locality.
Until recently, the only realistic way to access the shops has been to navigate one of several gloomy, intimidating, urine-soaked subways.
Building the civic square would require substantial changes to how motor vehicles move around the area because the roundabout would no longer exist.
If the same number of vehicles tried to navigate the new road layout then it's possible some journeys would take longer. But that's to ignore that 50% of journeys in London are less than two miles, and it only requires a small percentage of these to be walked or cycled to free up enough road space to allow the remaining motor vehicles to continue to move just as freely.
Unfortunately, the Mayor and Transport for London have halted the regeneration project, objecting to its interference with traffic flow. This is somewhat surprising because Boris Johnson has been very complimentary in the past about this "fantastic" development plan.
Mayor withdraws his backing
Now, since TfL pulled the plug on it, the Mayor is conspicuously failing to back a civic vision that would provide a vast people-friendly area, including a transport hub where people could switch effortlessly between train, tram, bus and tube.
The plans envision a bold transformation of this rundown area to create a landmark square as large as Trafalgar, providing an arena for local and regional events, as well as a space that residents and visitors could use daily.
Sadly, as the Mayor has shown at Blackfriars, he's prepared to back down when major urban improvements require a significant reduction in the speed and volume of motor vehicles.
Val Shawcross, chair of London Assembly's Transport Committee and assembly member for Elephant and Castle, along with mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone have both backed the scheme, calling for "development on a human scale" with priority given to pedestrians and cyclists.
TfL has shown that's not immune to common sense, having earlier this year changed the southern roundabout Elephant and Castle to a more people-friendly T-junction.
This was a step in the right direction towards pacifying motor traffic in the area, giving pedestrians some rights in the neighbourhood, and it hasn't increased congestion at all, according to TfL.
What will it take for the Mayor and TfL to acknowledge that people should come first? – at Elephant & Castle, at Blackfriars, at London Bridge, and every major development in the city.
There is a growing chorus of disapproval among Londoners for the Mayor's outdated car-centric ways, and it's not going to go away.

Photographer's Note
This palace/fortress complex that sits on a hilltop above Granada deserves its reputation as one of the most overwhelmingly beautiful places in all of Europe. The gallery in this photo encircles the Patio of the Lions, and the reflected light from the mid-day Andalusian sun catches some of the detail. In the corner is a bird in flight, one of hundreds whose song echoes throughout the palaces. You can wander for days in Alhambra, filled as it is with perfectly proportioned wonders - palaces, throne rooms, gardens. It's astounding!

Athens Christian wide receiver Josh Pennington leads Northeast Georgia in receiving with more than 300 yards on 21 catches.
Jeff Blake/Staff Athens Christian quarterback Nick Dalton remembers how difficult it was to start under center as a freshman for the Eagles last year.
As one of the youngest -- and most inexperienced -- players on Athens Christian last season, Dalton said more than often he was overcome with nerves prior to a game.
Fortunately, Dalton had someone looking out for him on the field.
''I had just started quarterbacking and I was real nervous,'' Dalton said. ''Josh (Pennington), every time we'd go into the huddle, he would always say 'Good throw' or 'Good job' even if he'd drop a pass or I'd throw a bad ball. He was always giving me encouragement.''
Dalton said such talk helped him keep a positive attitude throughout last season and also helped him work hard in the off season in an attempt to make himself a better player.
Now, both Dalton and Pennington are reaping the rewards from such dedication as the latter is currently leading Northeast Georgia in receiving with 21 catches for 364 yards and four touchdowns.
''Those are the expectations I had,'' Pennington said. ''I wanted to tie the school record for receptions, which is 32 and so far I'm on the way to doing that. I did have some expectations coming into this year.
''Last year, I felt as if I was kind of up and down. This year I really did expect to come out strong. Nick's got another year under his belt and he's been real good this year, and we've done what we had to do.''
Thanks in large part to Pennington's encouragement, he and Dalton have developed a strong friendship, and a solid connection on the football field.
Almost half of Dalton's pass completions have gone to Pennington, as well as four of his five touchdown passes.
''Sometimes you don't even have to look, all you do is have to think about where he's going to be and he's always right there,'' Dalton said. ''He's just a good receiver and all good receivers are like that.''
Just as Dalton committed himself to becoming a better player in the off season, Pennington did the same. Athens Christian head coach Van Beacham said Pennington attended a receivers camp over the summer, something which helped him hone his agility and speed.
The senior has also worked on increasing his strength, spending much of the off season in the weight room.
Beacham said the hard work has paid off, especially since the Eagles have committed to throwing the ball more this year.
''We knew that we were going to throw the ball a whole lot more and we knew that he was going to be our main guy,'' Beacham said of Pennington. ''He did a good job of preparation in the off season.''
Pennington said the level of competition Athens Christian is facing this year has also made him a better player. The Eagles are participating in their first year of a full Region 8-A schedule, and played top teams like Lincoln County for the non-region portion of their schedule.
''It is better competition and it makes you better as a player,'' Pennington said. ''They have much better players than we've ever seen. It makes you better to go up against such good players.''

Clint Allen's life will become more demanding soon enough. He didn't need any extra challenges on Sunday afternoon.
The 2004 Augusta Futurity Open champion breezed through the first go-round of the Futurity Open at James Brown Arena with no problems.
Allen marked 217 on Hydrive Cat and Wood I Never and 215 on CD Grateful Dual, easily advancing all three horses to today's second go-round, which begins at 8 a.m. The top 60 horses with scores of 212 or better qualified.
"I feel pretty confident," Allen said. "We'll see how the second go-round goes."
Life is going well for the 33-year-old Allen of Weatherford, Texas. Last month, he and Hydrive Cat finished second in the National Cutting Horse Association World Championship finals in Fort Worth, Texas, earning more than $184,000. On the homefront, he and wife Shayle are expecting twins in July.
"You kind of leave it on the back burner until it gets a little closer," said Allen, who'll learn the gender of his children in two weeks. "I'll get these next few shows and then worry about the children."
Allen and Hydrive Cat, owned by Dave and Georgia Husby, have put together quite a run lately. In addition to their showing in the NHCA World Championship Futurity, the pair finished third earlier this month at the Abilene Spectacular.
Allen began training the horse in January last year. He's been impressed with him all along.
"He's a good horse," he said. "He's one of the best horses I've ever ridden. He's honest. He's smart. He's easy to work with."
In 2004, Allen won the Augusta Futurity Open finals on Aristo Katz, a mare owned by Jack and Susan Waggoner. The pair also finished third in the Classic Open finals last year.
Allen said Hydrive Cat, a stallion by High Brow Cat and out of Ruby Tuesday DNA, is nothing like his previous winner.
"They're two totally different horses," he said. "(Aristo Katz) was fast and wild and extremely smart. (Hydrive Cat) is extremely smart, too. But he has a lot more eye appeal about him. He's slinkier moving. He's a lot more laid back."
On Sunday, Allen and Hydrive Cat rode first in the eighth bunch of horses. It was an unenviable position, but they overcame their bad luck.
"I was a little nervous about being first in the herd, but I went down and just tried to cut clean," Allen said. "We just cut good cows on him."
The cows, Allen said, are the reason for the round's low scores. Shepard's score was 3.5 points lower than the top first go-round score last year.
"I think the cattle are a little tough today," Allen said. "They just don't really take a hold of your horse as you'd like them to."
As good a day as Allen had, it still belonged to Austin Shepard, who rode Ginas Cat to the go-round's top score at 218. For Shepard of Summerdale, Ala., it's his third go-round win (Classic Open first and second go-rounds) in three appearances the past three days.
"So far, it's going the way we want it to go," Shepard said.

Can Primer Brand Affect Accuracy?
I have been reloading .223 for my AR this past year and have tried out various grain bullets, different powders and grain charges to find what appears to be the most accurate for this particular rifle. It is a BCM with 16" barrel, 1:7 twist and my most accurate set up so far is the 65 grain Sierra Gameking with a 25.5 grain charge of H4895 and using Winchester small rifle primers. Yesterday I received a new order of powder and primers and this time ordered some Tula .223 Small Rifle primers because they were available and less costly than the Winchester primers I have bought in the past. I loaded up 24 rounds of the set up described above but used the Tula primers instead of the Winchester primers as in the past. I consider myself a mediocre shot but have achieved some 3" groups of 6 shots at 100 yards in the past with this AR. To my surprise today my first group of 6 shots at 100 yards were all within 1 inch! Can just changing primers do this or did I just have my best session ever with this rifle by coinsidence? Next week when time allows I plan on trying out the 2 different brand primers back to back to compare shot placement as I did not have the time to do so today. Thanks...

Some have recorded those primers to be a little hotter then the US primers are. That could be case. It might allow the powder to burn better in some cases. The only way to tell is to load up a bigger batch and try them to see if the pattern continues. Many have said when you change a component you should always work the round up again to try to compensate for any changes there might be. It is also possible you didn't fully work up your load using Winchester primers before and just needed another 0.1 of a grain of powder to make it more accurate in the past.
If you load up another batch of ammo and it works just as well for you, I suggest you grab a bunch of those primers for future loading.

In a word, yes. You wouldn't be the first guy to cut group size in half or better just by changing primers.
Machine guns are awesome until you have to carry one.

+1 yes primer brand can affect accuracy. Its not something that will ALWAYS affect it, but it definatly can.

Absolutely ! Primers can also effect pressure .You can also get presssure excursions [some primers in the box giving very high pressure] or the opposite some primers pushing the bulet into the barrel without igniting the powder. !!!
And Watson , bring your revolver !

Changing anything can effect accuracy, not saying it will, but it can.
The private ownership of firearms is an American Heritage. Anyone who disputes that is Anti-American and unpatriotic.

Have you tried CCI primers ? I would be interested in seeing any change if any with them.

Misssissippi Dave,
I measure each and every load with my scale so I know the powder charges were as similiar as possible using both brands of primers.
Next week I'll load up a small batch of shellls using both brands of primers and run the loads through my chronograph as well as at the targets so I can find out for sure if the change in accuracy was due to the primers or just me having a good day. I will load the separate groups of reloads into different marked mags and will not know which load I am shooting first until afterwards. The Tula primers may be burning a bit hotter than the Winchester, I thought I noticed a slight increase in recoil, but that is highly subjective on my part and I may be wrong.

I switched from Winchester small rifle primers to Remington No.7½ bench rest rifle primers in my .223 loads. Same bullet and powder charge. Cut the 100 yard group size from 0.9 inches to 0.6 inches. So yes, different primers can change group sizes.

I tested this out awhile back.
In my 30-06 I used the same load and bullet, but changed from Rem, Win, CCI and Fed primers. All large rifle (no mags) primers.
The groups ranged from 2" - 3/4" and 200fps difference with Remington being the smallest and fastest groups of the lot.
That was MY gun and since all guns are different, your results could easily be different.
But the simple answer is yes, it can make a big difference.

The thing it keep in mind, is that primers are just like every other component in a cartridge. The powder you use and the amount can make a difference in accuracy, the bullet itself can make a difference, so why should it be surprising that the primer can make a difference?
No brand of primer is "more accurate" than another, its all about what your gun likes.

Well, now I know what load to try with my Sierra Gamekings since I have some 4895 laying about. I use Remington 7.5, also in a 16 inch barrel, will chrono and document - are you shooting off a rest?

Primers can definitely affect accuracy. Just as different powders have burn rates that vary so do the primers. Powders can react differently under a host of different influences such as outside temperature and changes in powder volume. Different primers have their own nuances as well such as the initial exsplosive force we refer to as hotter vs. colder and also their capability to be uniform in their combustion output. This is why you see primers labled with terms such as magnum, benchrest, match and sometimes standard. I too wish it were more simple but have to admit I enjoy the game of pursuing the elusive "perfect round" for any particular firearm. Makes me have to go shooting more often and gives you that gratifaction when it all comes together. I own no match grade firearms,,, just get them to shoot that way.

Effect of primers on accuracy
In the last issue of "Varmint Rifles and Cartridges" there was an excellent aritcle about a test using a 223 with identical loads, the only difference being the primers. The test was well constructed and the results are very interesting.
I would recommend every hand loader read the article. Written by Charles E. Petty.
In reality, nobody can test your loads and rifle for you. Each loader has to perform the experiments to find which recipe will yield satisfactory results. Over the last few years Remington primers have risen to the top of my list for small rifle usage. Winchester is the "go to" primer for large rifle. YMMV.

I recently read that article that Colorado Redneck mentioned. Very interesting read. I use CCI Bench Rest primers in all my rifles and I was happy to see that the article had only good things to say about those primers. Also in that article was a flat out firm statement by the author that SD had absolutely nothing to do with accuracy. His data did support that, but interpretation of data can be subjective. For instance, my wife can drop something in the kitchen and break it, but in a very short time the accident has become my fault. And she'll have data to support that.

This is super secret so don't spread the word.
Those Russian primers are very good primers.
I shot some Tula7.62 and Wolf primers in a 30-06 primer test. The Russian primers were as good as if not better than Winchester, Federal, CCI 200, CCI #34's. I was very surprised how good the groups with the Russian primers.
Hush now and don't drive the prices of these primers up.
If I'm not shooting, I'm reloading.

mete mentions:
I doubt anyone can shoot a bullet out of a centerfire rifle case larger than a .22-250 with just the primer going off and no powder or non-burning powder in the case. I shot 20 7.62 NATO rounds one afternoon with no powder under the Sierra 190's in their neck. Only sound was the click of the Garand's hammer falling on the bolt driving the firing pin hard into the primer. All bullets stayed in place. Pulling several bullets showed black soot on their base as well as all over inside the case. None of the primers backed out of their pockets.
Many folks have loaded center fire handloads in their rifles without powder just to see what happens. Primers pop but the bullet stays in the case. There's just not enough pressure creating the force to push a bullet out of a case neck when 30 to 40 pounds of force is needed.
On the other hand, .22 BB and CB caps oft times don't have powder and only the primer shoots out the bullet. A .22 long rifle without powder will usually shoot the bullet at least 15 to 20 inches down the bore. Several handgun cartridges without powder in them will drive a bullet out of the case and into the barrel or just lodge the bullet in a revolver's throat locking the cylinder with half the bullet still in the cylinder.

Some primers are hotter than others, and my chronographing show that velocity increases by about 50 fps. when swithing to WLRM from WLR primers.
Even different brands of standard primers vary the velocity a little.
The best brands are CONSISTENT in their burning rate. That's all bench rest primers are---better quality control.
So far, haven't detected accuracy differences in hunting loads. Bench rest shooting might be a different matter.

By José Ignacio Torreblanca, Associate Professor at IE School of Arts & Humanities
Eleven in favour, 11 abstentions and five against, is the result of the diplomatic work done by the 27 EU governments to coordinate their positions on the admission of Palestine to Unesco.
The two EU members with permanent seats on the Security Council voted differently (the UK abstained, France was in favour), while Germany voted against. Italy followed the UK, while Spain went with France, so not even the so-called big five agreed. Nor were the countries of the Mediterranean coast. The German no was followed by Czechs, Dutch, Lithuanians and Swedes; the French yes by Austrians, Belgians, Cypriots, Finns, Greeks, Irish, Luxembourgeois, Maltese, Slovenes and Spaniards; the British abstention by Bulgarians, Danish, Estonians, Hungarians, Italians, Lithuanians, Poles, Portuguese, Romanians and Slovaks. All this ridicule for nothing, for the general vote went heavily in favour of Palestine. The Europeans were not only disunited, but irrelevant.
Summed up here are the 10 years of negotiation to write and ratify the Treaty of Lisbon, which was aimed at making the EU speak with a single voice on the international scene. And the two years spent in creating the European External Action Service, supposedly meant to coordinate the foreign policies of member states, the European Commission and the Council. And the established EU policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has advanced little since 1980 since the (then) European Community endorsed a solution based on two states (provided, of course, that the solution was merely theoretical, and showed no signs of taking any real form under conditions different from those blessed by Israel and the United States).
It will be said, as usual, that none of this is the fault of Lady Ashton, the EU's invisible high representative for foreign policy; that she is only a symptom of the EU states' general rejection of pooling their foreign policy; that her weakness is only a consequence, not a cause. But it is hard to imagine how the good lady looks in the mirror in the morning, and goes off to do her job in the name of Europe after a vote where the EU has mired itself in international ridicule. The fact that nobody has called for her resignation should not be any cause for satisfaction on the high representative's part. She is either assuming responsibility for the result, or she is broadcasting the message that this form of ridicule and irrelevance is something that enters into the area of routine, of what is merely to be expected.
It has to be remembered that the 27 European member states keep open more than 3,200 embassies and consulates, employ more than 110,000 persons in their diplomatic services, are the greatest financial contributors to the United Nations, and meet at least 1,000 times a year to coordinate their positions in international organisations. Europe is also the first-ranking trading partner of Israel, and of the United States as well. Read more…

Oprah Winfrey won't officially announce her 64th book club selection until Sept. 17, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be Conversations With Myself, a memoir of Nobel winner Nelson Mandela assembled from journals, diaries, letters, and records of private conversations that he kept over the course of his storied life as an activist turned prisoner turned president of South Africa
The subject matter seems very Oprah-friendly. The talk-show giant has a long-standing connection to Africa, where she's built several schools for girls. And she's selected several African-themed books for her club before, including Alan Paton's novel Cry, the Beloved Country and Uwem Akpan's story collection Say You're One of Them (her 2009 selection).
It's a memoir by an historical figure, with a presidential imprimatur to boot. We know that Oprah has a thing for memoirs by famous people recounting historical events, from Elie Weisel's Night to Sidney Poitier's The Measure of a Man. (Best not to mention her brief, much-regretted dalliance with a memoir by a regular joe named James Frey.) Mandela's book already boasts a foreword by Barack Obama, which may make an Oprah endorsement seem like just so much frosting on the best-seller cake.

Saints name Vitt as interim coach
The New Orleans Saints have named Joe Vitt as interim coach, despite the top assistant's six-game suspension for his role in the club's bounty system.
The Saints had to find a one-season replacement for head coach Sean Payton, whose season-long suspension in connection with the bounty scandal begins Monday and runs through the next February's Super Bowl. General manager Mickey Loomis said Vitt will take over Monday.
Ex-Nittany Lion is eGolf leader
In Southport, N.C., T. J. Howe shot 3-under-par 69 to take over the lead in the Championship at St. James Plantation.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Just to be sure if my stabilizer bar bushing need to be replaced? on 2003 Saturn Ion
When I turn the wheel or make a light turn I hear this creaking or scraping I wish I can try to describe the noise but can't! :( my mechanic had my car on his hoist to do something else and noticed they looked a lil shot also said it not a safety issue? I took my car to a shop jus around the corner from his shop to have another opinion I mentioned wut he said thinks its the Same thing. I jus gotta be sure I'm hopin they can hold out till Thursday at most till I get my money cause I do want to take care of this thnkx in advance
Have a mechanic test drive your car, ride along and ask "what is that noise" when you hear it!!! Can't tell you anythng else!
Jus gonna scrap it
| |
seek an est alone with a frt end alignment
Jus gonna scrap it
| |
If the sway bar bushings are doing that, then it should be doing it driving down the road. Are your ball joints sealed or can you grease them. I see a lot of cars with ones that are sealed with no grease fittings dry out and start making noise while turning. Can't here your noise, just a comment.
I'm not sure if its that but i do kno that I heard a almost similar noise to wut I'm hearin now it turned out to be a link that connected to the stabilizer bar on that day he changed it was perfect no noise this was replaced jus last month
| |
OK; Like I say I can't hear the noise. Sounds like you have your own answer. A stabilizer/sway bar helps keep the vehicle from swaying while driving, same principal as shocks do, help stabilize the suspension while driving. So turning pivots the wheels. Huh sorry!
I just want to kno if the sound I'm describing is the bushings
| |
Maybe someone else will answer. Gave my opinion, You said it sounded the same as before, so i'm sorry I gave my opinion, and a reason for it. I can't see or hear it.
I understand that u can't hear it and I'm also not tryin to be rude here as well jus concerned that's all this is my first car and i already put 3 grand into it
| |
I'm trying to not be trouble; If the link is bad change it. Just stating as my first response; Should be doing it all the time, not just on turns. If it's bad it needs to go, irreguardless of question.
But that's the thing the link was already replaced I was usin it as an example of the noise I was hearin , I just want to make sure the bushings won't break on me that's all I don't kno anything about car part how much they r or how long they last !! Whatever I'm told is the issue I get it replaced and that y 2nite I wanted ur opinion to make sure if it is the stabilizer bar bushings
| |
Thought you were talking about the other side was bad now. Then I go back to the ball joint issue, Get in touch with a front end specialist not just a general mechanic. Usually that's all they do. Worked with a front end man at Sears many years ago, won't say how many, but many, many. Learned a lot from him when I was younger. That's all he did, and he knew front ends. After doing this for so long, people can hear a car in a parking lot, or going down the road, and recognize a noise, and diagnose the problem as they drive by. It's pretty cool when someone pulls up to the shop with a noise, and you already know what the problem is. Good luck.
But just to say I been told ball joints make a clunk noise r u sure its that?
Didn't find what you were looking for?

TORONTO - For the first time in a long time, the Maple Leafs are making a legitimate playoff push in the home stretch of the season.
Early Friday, Toronto was only four points behind the Carolina Hurricanes, who hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the East. But Carolinas win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night pushed Toronto to six points back.
It should be a fun end to the season, Leafs goaltender James Reimer said. Im sure teams will be flip-flopping all over the place.
With just eight points separating the eighth through 12th seeds in the Eastern Conference entering play Saturday, the Leafs are involved in an uphill battle theyll be watching closely through the last quarter of the season.
Youre looking at the standings and see what other teams are doing and then youve got to take care of your own games, Reimer said. You need to know where you are and where other teams are so you have an understanding of whats going on.
The Leafs, who have not made the playoffs since 2004, are facing a tough challenge with the Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres ahead of them in the standings for the race for eighth.
Despite trailing, though, winger Joffrey Lupul said the team has to stay focused.
Naturally you do tend to scoreboard watch, Lupul said. Weve just got to take care of our games.
It has been a tough year between the pipes for the Leafs, with Jean-Sebastien Giguere missing time with injury and a struggling Jonas Gustavsson on assignment with the Marlies.
But all is not lost in the land of the Leafs, with rookie Reimer stepping up in a big way and providing Toronto with some stability at the position.
The happy-go-lucky Reimer, who head coach Ron Wilson said brings a calming presence to the squad, has proven his worth at the NHL level with a 10-4-2 record and a .941 save percentage entering play Saturday.
I dont think theres anything really too special that Im doing, Reimer said. I just try and be quiet and just focus on what I have to do during the game and go out there and try to do it to the best of my ability.
Reimer, who turns 23 next month, has been nothing short of spectacular in his freshman campaign, and has left Wilson and general manager Brian Burke with some tough decisions in the near-future.
Gustavsson was assigned to the Marlies on Feb. 4 for conditioning, but his assignment was suspended as he underwent an ablation procedure on Feb. 11 to deal with recurring heart problems.
With his assignment set to expire next week, Wilson said the big Swede will be back with the Leafs.
He can only stay for 14 days so as soon as the 14 days are up or sooner well bring him back, Wilson said.
With the Monsters return, though, Toronto will be stuck with a logjam in net. The only sure thing for the Leafs, though, is that Reimers their guy.
The Leafs are set to host Pittsburgh again on Wednesday night, marking the first time Toronto has hosted the same team in consecutive home games since 2007-08, when the New Jersey Devils were in town for two in a row ... Luke Schenn leads all NHL defenceman in hits this season (190) and is second on the Leafs in blocked shots (125) ... Toronto has won 15 of 20 games in which winger Phil Kessel scores ... Through the first 61 games this season, Toronto notched 61 points; in the same span last season the team had only 49.

What Is the Story of Looped?
Looped tells the story of one very long day in a sound studio in which real-life Hollywood star Tallulah Bankhead (often called "the original celebrity bad girl") tries to dub (or "loop") a single line of dialogue for her last film. Bankhead was as infamous for her offscreen antics, which included wild parties, drugs and alcohol and scandals galore, as she was for her acting triumphs. The outrageous star butts heads with the uptight film editor left in charge of the looping session.
"Valerie Harper does a bravura turn on Broadway as Tallulah Bankhead in Matthew Lombardo's Looped."Review by John Simon from Bloomberg News
"Valerie Harper gives an enjoyably bog, blustery performace, nailing every last laugh. She commands the stage handily and reveals precise comic timing."Review by Charles Isherwood from The New York Times
What Is Looped Like?
At first this quick-moving play seems like nothing more than another campy portrait of a Hollywood legend turned has-been; however, the play finds its center by showing the motivations behind Tallulah's extreme behavior. When a touching connection is made between the loopy star and the conservative film editor running the recording session, the vulnerability behind the star's over-the-top persona is revealed.
Is Looped Good for Kids?
The story of a potty-mouthed glamour girl with a history of drug and alcohol abuse is not kiddie fare. The f-bombs and talk of sex scandals don't help matters. Leave the children at home.

Speaking to the international Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), he urged Christians to pressure political leaders to help those peoples whom they have "abandoned on the altars of their political and economic interests." "We are not mere puppets, nor are we simply firewood to be thrown on the fire," he continued.
The archbishop linked Iraqi Christians' efforts to survive in the "country of their fathers" to the task of improving living conditions for all Iraqis.
Archbishop Casmoussa also asked for prayers for two Iraqi priests who were kidnapped on Saturday. One victim, Father Mazen Mattoka is a newly ordained priest, while the other, Father Pios Affas, 68 year-old in poor health, was about to take charge of the Center for Biblical Studies in Mosul. The archbishop asked believers to intensify their prayers "in the certainty that God, our loving Father, loves us more than we love ourselves."
One ACN official described the situation for Christians in Iraq as "extremely difficult" and called for prayer and solidarity with them.

The Stanley Cup is spending some time at the Jersey shore.
Los Angeles Kings assistant coach John Stevens spent his day with the trophy in Sea Isle City. Thousands of fans lined the beach to catch a glimpse of the trophy that the Kings won last month.
Stevens is the former coach of the Philadelphia Flyers and lives in Sea Isle City in the summer.
The Cup rested in a Sea Isle lifeguard boat as fans lined up for photos. Stevens brought the trophy to his hometown in Canada when he last won it with the Kings in 2012.
Justin Williams, also a former Flyer, will bring the Cup to Caesars Atlantic City Friday.
