Klauzer overwhelms opponent, wins pro debut
Amid an overwhelming amount of fan support, Kylan Klauzer overwhelmed his opponent in his professional mixed martial arts debut Saturday night.
Klauzer, a former football All-American for Dickinson State from Baker, Mont., put Heath Roth on the mat early and went to work, eventually sealing the victory via technical knockout in 4 minutes in the main event of the Badlands Throwdown fights.
"Going into it, that was the game plan," Klauzer said. "He has some good hands. We knew he wanted to stand."
So, the physically imposing heavyweight put fists to Roth's face early to gain the upper hand and worked Roth's body once the two went to the mat.
After Klauzer put Roth on his back, the win seemed all but certain as the detective with the Dickinson Police Department forced a tap out via strikes.
His win sent the crowd, estimated at more than 2,000, into a frenzy. Especially the floor section filled with Baker residents, who made the trip in busloads for the fight.
"Two greatest small towns, Dickinson and Baker, that's all you really need to say," Klauzer said.
Another DSU alumnus, Anthony Bartlett, made his professional debut in style, beating Montanan Jake Oyler in the second round via rear naked chokehold in 7:28.
While Olyer wanted to kickbox, Bartlett went back to his wrestling roots -- he is a former Blue Hawk grappler -- and the tactic worked.
"Look at these arms," said Bartlett, a 5-foot-9, 155-pound grappler from Idaho. "I'm not a boxer. That's just not smart. I like getting them on the ground, at short range."
In another two-round affair, Jory Erickson of Wolf Point, Mont. -- the fighter whose cage Pound 'em Productions rented for the event -- pounded and twisted Matt DeWolfe until his corner men finally threw in the white towel at the 2:16 mark of the second round.
In one of the final fights, up-and-comer Brandon Anderson of Glendive, Mont., came away victorious in a way he may not have wanted. After the first round horn sounded, Anderson was awarded the victory due to a cut inflicted on the head of his opponent, Bruce Nelson of Fargo.
Nelson went to the mat midway through the first round after Anderson's inadvertent kick to the groin. Nelson recovered and held his own through the end of the round. But, the gash on his forehead was too big of a risk and doctors called the fight.
In a fight between two men making their professional debuts, the imposing Steven Schumacher of Mandan deflected what appeared to be an upset in the making when he fought off Brian Bloodsaw's front chokehold with a reversal. Within seconds, Schumacher had Bloodsaw in a rear naked chokehold and clocked the win in 2:50.
Minneapolis fighter Billy Jochum and Hettinger's Pat Schlosser went after each other with blows early and capped Jochum overwhelming win in 1:46 after Schlosser tapped out because of blows to the head.
The first two fights, both at the 155 weight class, ended with rear naked chokeholds.
Fargo's Marshall Martin won a bloody battle with Tyson Burris of Rapid City, S.D., in 2:07. Then, in a bout between two Dickinson fighters making their professional debuts, Justin Geobel defeated Zimmy Zimdars in 2:10.
Jason Brown of Rapid City won an early 185-pound bout against Jesse Brown of Missoula, Mont. Jason Brown rolled his opponent against the cage and put on an arm bar in the process, causing a screech of pain from Jesse Brown, who tapped out.
At 170, Mandan's Chris Hugh controlled his bout against Montanan Hollis Huggins throughout before finally forcing him to tap out at 2:39 via a rear naked chokehold.
In the quickest fight of the night, Cole Ackerman of Glendive, Mont., knocked off Steve Elliott of Rapid City in 52 seconds via an arm triangle.
It was Ackerman's third win in three appearances in Dickinson.

The models, including Pauls Son, all fitted under the following adjectives... waify, geek, androgynous... none of the hunky, musclebound types and this was matched perfectly by the designs. Their were large rucksacks pulled close to the back in cherry red which intentionally jarred against navy coats. There were exaggerated Duffle coats and Sherlock Holmes inspired coats.... mustard was also a key colour, something that Paul Weller had already cottoned onto with his chosen attire of cable knit jumper.
Video of complete show coming soon......
Paul Weller and family taking in the finale.... yes that is me sitting behind trying not to stare at the mod legend
My favourite look from the show.... a Sherlock holes style cape trench... fantastic tailoring and yes the back of Paul Wellers Silver mane.An example of the geek chic sported on DG NAKS catwalk.... duffle coat with bright lining

Is there any doubt now that BJ Penn wants to return to MMA?
The UFC Hall-of-Famer has recently moved his training to the JacksonWink MMA academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the same camp as UFC champ Holly Holm and former champ Jon Jones.
"I needed to be around the top people if I'm going to have any chance at making a run for anything," Penn posted on his website. "I've watched Greg Jackson for years and his great work with Jones, Holm, Arlovski, Overeem. This is amazing right now. I've also had the opportunity to compete against him and I know that he knows my game very well, he knows my strengths and my weaknesses. It's a great fit."
As for how he's training, Penn says he's just getting started, but he's definitely "serious."
"Greg has me acclimating slowly right now," he said. "I been doing private lessons with Greg Jackson and he is setting up the schedule to work with many different martial arts instructors. It really is very exciting. These guys are serious, it's making me serious."
"We will definitely work a lot. Greg seems to already have me on some periodization plan to ease into his schedule. I'm not really asking Greg too much questions, just letting him run the whole show."
BJ Penn's UFC return as not been confirmed yet, but he has called on Nick Lentz to be his first opponent.

Toronto, ON Canada (PressExposure) April 08, 2011 -- Solamon Energy is proud to announce an exciting new program to determine the solar viability of specific locations, whether an open field, the side of a hill, or atop a building. At no charge, for locations meeting the minimum 5 acre requirement, a Solamon Generation Report forecasting power is delivered on the spot . "We have the tools and the technology today to measure terrain and shade variables that, when balanced against weather pattern data, provide a practical and objective assessment," explains Jay Yeo, president Solamon. "Within moments, we will know how much it will cost to generate electricity by erecting an Apollo Acre solar farm, and thus how much will be saved."
Over the past month Solamon has been introducing the Apollo Acre power plant to leaders in several Caribbean countries, as well as Belize in Central America. "These are the constituents who understand the best market served by an Apollo Acre installation," Yeo continues. "We believe our 5 acre installation is the right size for a local community, and since each system is modular by design, we are discussing the many options available to consider going forward. This is a truly inclusionary process and unique to each sun drenched location."
Across the Caribbean home owners for decades have mounted solar panels on roof tops, most often to heat their water, and many companies and office buildings around the world have followed suit. This is not an equation of fashion but of common sense. "By using the sun for power, you save money," says Yeo. "Indeed people have the option to continue buying oil and gas, and I'm sure these fuels will remain abundantly available for another 100 years, but we are finding community leaders in the Caribbean to be forward thinking and desirous of change now."
The Caribbean offers ideal territory to exploit recent developments in solar technology and hardware, both fixed mount and rotating arrays, especially using systems augmented by micro wind turbines. In fact, Solamon recently brought on board a specialist in the field of turbine technology and co-power generation to address queries and provide replies in a simple manner. "This is not rocket science, and we truly intend to put power back into the hands of the people. We know there needs to be a lot of public engagement," Yeo states, "which is why we are looking forward to the upcoming Town Hall sessions."
Following the Renewables Financing symposium in Montego Bay next month, where the Solamon Generation Report will be formally unveiled to numerous institutions and organizations in attendance, Solamon will deliver a series of meetings within local communities on islands in the Caribbean, while continuing to work with leaders of government and private industry, as well as community leaders, to bring appropriate energy solutions beneficial to all stakeholders in the long-term.
While initially on location, Solamon will conduct a series of measurements to evaluate the potential energy output of an integrated solar array. This information is provided as an easy-to-read report, based on terrain, weather data and a wide range of PV panels and inverters. "We will conduct these site reports quickly and let people know immediately, without having to wait for a consultant's report, what they can do to reduce their electricity bills each month by erecting an Apollo Acre," concludes Yeo.
Measurements of shade and solar access are critical for the professional assessment of any solar project. Every location has its own unique dynamic of shade and energy potential. Additional technologies and sophisticated hand-held devices are deployed into prioritized locations, augmenting preliminary site assessments conducted by Solamon, to produce an estimate of the monthly solar energy, taking into account an approximation of the local shading at a location.
Solamon Energy designs and installs integrated arrays of ground-mounted photovoltaic cells that are connected by cable to each other and to converters, batteries and transmission points, utilizing 5 acres of land per unit; each unit is called an Apollo Acre. Solamon is focused on packaging and delivering turnkey systems across the Caribbean, and seeks to open field offices in The Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados and Puerto Rico.
The company is excited not only to deliver turnkey power plants using renewable energy sources, such as sun and wind, to Caribbean countries but that will also generate jobs locally, in terms of their commissioning and subsequent maintenance. Our executives are thus not only looking for locations and partners to manage each Apollo Acre, but to also establish a suitable training program for implementation teams in collaboration with relevant government agencies.
For each customer, Solamon provides full management of each Apollo Acre installation, including site inspections, project design and development, as well as environmental and local permitting, 3rd party engineering, procurement, construction and system commissioning in conjunction with local partners.

Design your Office Add-ins
Office Add-ins extend the Office experience by providing contextual functionality that users can access within Office clients. Add-ins empower users to get more done by enabling them to access third-party functionality within Office, without costly context switches.
Your add-in UX design must integrate seamlessly with Office to provide an efficient, natural interaction for your users. Take advantage of add-in commands to provide access to your add-in and apply the best practices that we recommend when you create custom HTML-based UI.
Office applications follow a general set of interaction guidelines. The apps share content and have elements that look and behave similarly. This commonality is built on a set of design principles. The principles help the Office team create interfaces that support customers' tasks. Understanding and following them will help you support your customers' goals inside of Office.
Follow the Office design principles to create positive add-in experiences:
- Design explicitly for Office. The functionality, look and feel of an add-in must harmoniously complement the Office experience. Add-ins should feel native. They should fit seamlessly into Word on an iPad or PowerPoint Online. A well-designed add-in will be an appropriate blend of your experience, the platform and the Office application. Consider using Office UI Fabric as your design language. Apply document and UI theming where appropriate.
- Focus on a few key tasks; do them well. Help customers get one job done without getting in the way of other jobs. Provide real value to customers. Focus on common use cases, pick carefully those that benefit users most when interacting with Office documents.
- Favor content over chrome. Allow customers' page, slide or spreadsheet to remain the focus of the experience. An add-in is an auxiliary interface. No accessory chrome should interfere with the add-in's content and functionality. Brand your experience wisely. We know it is important to provide users with a unique, recognizable experience but avoid distraction. Strive to keep the focus on content and task completion, not brand attention.
- Make it enjoyable and keep users in control. People enjoy using products that are both functional and visual appealing. Craft your experience carefully. Get the details right by considering every interaction and visual detail. Allow users to control their experience. The necessary steps to complete a task must be clear and relevant. Important decisions should be easy to understand. Actions should be easily reversible. An add-in is not a destination – it's an enhancement to Office functionality.
- Design for all platforms and input methods. Add-ins are designed to work on all the platforms that Office supports, and your add-in UX should be optimized to work across platforms and form factors. Support mouse/keyboard and touch input devices, and ensure that your custom HTML UI is responsive to adapt to different form factors. For more information, see Touch.
Additional resources
To access the templates, see the Office Add-in UX Design Patterns repo. The Adobe Illustrator files are also available; you can download and update them to reflect your own designs. You can also copy the code files from the Office Add-in UX design patterns code repo to your add-in project and customize them as needed.
Recommended layouts and interaction patterns
We provide recommended layouts for each add-in type, along with end-to-end examples to help you put everything together. To learn more about how to lay out your add-in, see the following:
See also Interaction patterns for examples of common scenarios for add-ins and their corresponding interaction patterns.

Most art historians consider a print to be antique if it was made more than 100 years ago. The earliest European print dates to 1446, though engraving in China pre-dates this by hundreds of years. The print process has evolved over the centuries, but, prior to modern inkjet and laser printing, it still involved engraving an image onto a metal plate, applying ink, and then pressing it onto paper to produce a print of the image. An artist can make highly detailed or sketchy images depending on the number and thickness of the engraving lines. This buying guide will provide information about the history, types and styles of antique prints. It will also provide tips to assist the selection process, and instructions for care and maintenance after purchasing.
History of Antique Prints
The earliest prints date back to the Renaissance era. The paper was handmade and usually quite thick and uneven. The ink lines were also thick because most were made using woodcuts. Religious themes were common subjects, as were the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome that were celebrated during the Renaissance. Very few prints from this era used colour. From 1650 onwards, prints were made using both the etching technique and engraved copper plates. These featured finer lines due to the higher printing pressure and sharper engraving on the plate. By 1800, lithographs and aquatints were the finest prints available, and thinner paper was being manufactured by machine. Steel plate engraving appeared mid-century which offered much finer lines than copper. Plate marks were also reduced, as less pressure was needed to print. Paper got smoother still, as smoothness was a requirement of the new colour lithography printing.
Discover Antique Prints
Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. From the collector's viewpoint, each print made from the plate is considered to be an original work of art. For this reason, antique engraved prints have become one of the most popular antique collectables. They are certainly worth more than a modern reproduction and will only increase in value.
Components of Antique Prints
The components of antique prints remained standard through the years, though they varied greatly in quality and nature.
Early woodcut prints used black ink almost exclusively, with colour emerging as copper plate engraving became popular
Early paper was handmade and rough, becoming smoother and thinner as time went by.
Some antique prints have been inserted into wood or metal frames.
Types of Antique Prints
Woodcut Prints
Print is made from a woodcut so the lines are very thick.
Earliest type of European prints and quite rare.
Not many coloured prints were made in this era so they are extremely rare.
Copper Plate Prints
Print is made from a copper plate and has stronger plate marks.
Copper plates produced finer detail in the print.
Look for handmade paper that should be thick and uneven.
Image is etched into wax that has been applied to a lithographic stone plate.
Produced excellent detail.
Lithograph paper should be thin.
Derived from the lithographic process.
The most successful 19th century method of making colour prints.
Prints of this nature are often referred to as 'chromos'.
Etching Print
An intaglio printmaking technique where strong acid is used to cut into exposed parts of metal to make a plate.
Many masters worked in this form including Rembrandt and Castiglione.
Along with engraving it is the most important technique used for making old master prints.
Aquatint Print
A variant of etching.
Uses powdered rosin to create a unique tonal effect.
Goya's Los Caprichos series used this method.
Mezzotint Print
A dry point method of intaglio printing that roughens the plate with thousands of little dots.
Prints have a high level of quality and richness.
M.C. Escher made famous prints of impossible constructions using this method.
Ukiyo-E Prints
Japanese colour prints made from multiple wooden block plates.
Prints often feature detailed facial expressions and beautiful clothes.
Ukiyo-E means 'pictures of the floating world'.
Chinese Engraved Prints
Plate was created by carving images into stone slabs.
Good investment opportunity as the market is still growing.
Chinese engraving pre-dates European engraving
Factors to Consider When Buying an Antique Print
Shopping for an antique print can be interesting and rewarding. A little research and knowledge will help to inform the selection process.
- Authenticity – If the buyer is unsure about the authenticity of a print, they should ask for a written statement and guarantee from the seller about its age and origin.
- Condition – The condition of a print is important. Firstly, it can affect the degree of enjoyment derived from the print. Secondly, it will affect the value of the print. Examine all photos carefully, and ask the seller to post more if still unsatisfied.
- Importance – Historical importance will add value to a print. For example, an iconographic image from history or the first maps of a new territory are types of print that will be sought after.
Typical Features of Antique Prints
1. Del., delt. or delin. (Translation - drew)
The name following this mark on a print denotes the original artist i.e. the artist who did the original drawing that the engraver has reproduced.
2. Eng. or engd. (Translation – engraved)
The name following this mark is that of the engraver. Other marks that denote the engraver are 'sculp' and sculpt'.
3. F., fec., fect. fac. or faciebat. (Translation – made)
This mark denotes that the name that follows is the person who both drew the image also printed it.
4. Imp. impressit. (Translation – printed)
The name following this mark is that of the printer.
5. Imp. lith. (translation – lithograph)
This mark means the artwork is not an engraving, but a lithograph.
6. Pinx., ping.(Translation – painted)
The name following this mark is that of the artist who did the original painting that is reproduced.
7. Names
Usually the original artist's name is on the left, and the printer's name is on the right.
8. Religious Themes
Many prints from the Renaissance era feature religious themes such as scenes from the bible, and scenes of churches, priests, the laity etc.
9. Ancient Cultural Themes
The Renaissance was a period of heightened interest in the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome. Many prints depict various gods, famous battle scenes and heroic adventures.
10. Flora and Fauna Themes
As European civilization expanded to China, Africa and the New World, specimens of exotic plants and animals were brought home. These were depicted in period prints, in often wildly unrealistic renderings because few artists had ever seen the real specimens.
How to Care for Antique Prints
Whether it's a lithograph, copperplate engraving, mezzotint, or other type of print, the four basic areas of care are the same: handling, repairs, framing, and storage.
Great care must be exercised because the paper itself is so fragile, and often has little or no margin. Wear thin cotton gloves when handling, and store each print in a Mylar sleeve. Mylar is crystal-clear and does not interact chemically with the print. Do not attempt self-repairs. This includes the removal of stains, wrinkles, and pencil marks, fixing tears or holes, or addressing colour issues. Leave the restoration to professional conservators. Anti-UV framing glass is a must. This will deflect most of the harmful light that can destroy paper over time. If using mat board it must be archival quality mat board, so it does not chemically interact with the print. Antique prints should be stored in a dry, cool place. There are also excellent archival boxes available on the market.

My first campaign in Rifst we had a Glitterboy, a techno-wizard, a bot rcc (me and with max budget to build) and a vagabond. The vagabond stole the show most games even when we WERE in combat. You;d think Myself and the GB would have been it but nope.

Just goes to show a good GM can in fact balance anything and everything to suit thier own needs.

andyou last quote is perfect. Indeed the mechanics/rules are there to support the GM not the other way around.

If the game mechanics create a situation where a particular course of action is vastly superior to all other courses, then it behooves the setting to recognize that. Also, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, or in simpler terms a counter-action. If there is no sufficient counter-action for something in the rules, then you run into a situation where the game violates your second last rule that the rules should not overpower the game master.

Namely, the GM is the final arbiter and can maintain balance even with unbalanced mechanics, but I still don't like the phrase. Believing Game Balance is for suckers, in my opinion, can lead to bad design. Is game balance the be all, end all? No, not at all. However, if your game has something in it that is so good you'd be stupid to NOT take it, it may need to be looked at and hedged down a bit. A player shouldn't be critically handicapped because they didn't take a certain talent. Which is what game balance can fix.

The rest of it, I agree with. Different power levels for players is fine, and easily managed by the GM. Rule sets should be simple. If possible, one core mechanic that can just be winged when needed, but provides depth when wanted is ideal. I dislike systems that can't decide if High is better, or worse, depending on the situation. Pick one. If I want to be rolling low, make me consistently want low. If I want to be rolling high, make that consistent as well.A.L.https://firstname.lastname@example.com

BuzzFeed is being widely criticized by reporters for its decision on Tuesday to publish an unsubstantiated 35-page dossier alleging that the Russian government is blackmailing Donald Trump with dirt on illicit sexual and financial activities.
BuzzFeed published the document just after CNN broke a story that Trump and President Obama were briefed by U.S. intelligence officials last week that Russian operatives claim to have damaging personal and financial information about the president-elect.
BuzzFeed's document is a 35-page report compiled by a former British spy who was hired by Trump's political opponents during the presidential campaign. The document, which has floated around Beltway reporter circles for months, states, among other things, that Trump engaged in kinky sex acts with Russian prostitutes while visiting Moscow.
Other outlets who have seen the document chose not to publish it, largely because the claims laid out in it could not be independently verified. But BuzzFeed defended the decision to publish "so that Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the US government."
A slew of reporters disagreed with that rationale, arguing that publishing unsubstantiated claims violates basic tenets of journalism. Others pointed out that the American public has no way to determine whether the allegations in the document are accurate or not.
New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman:
Putting out unverified gossip is what Trump does. If media does it, we become like him, risk losing further credibility with readers.
— Gabriel Sherman (@gabrielsherman) January 11, 2017
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of Atlantic:
This report contains unverified information, sourced to anonymous figures whose existence has not been proven.
— Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) January 11, 2017
David Corn, a Mother Jones reporter who reported on the existence of the dossier in October but chose not to publish it in full:
1. For those asking, I didn't publish the full memos from the intelligence operative because I could not confirm the allegations.
— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) January 11, 2017
2. I believed it was fair & responsible to note that a credible source had provided FBI allegations of Moscow op to co-opt Trump.
— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) January 11, 2017
3. I accurately characterized the memos-this is important stuff-but didn't publish details. Even Donald Trump deserves journalistic fairness
— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) January 11, 2017
Josh Barro, a reporter at Business Insider:
I can't help but be amused, but yeah, BuzzFeed should not have published the report. https://t.co/1qqLIy9GyV
— Josh Barro (@jbarro) January 11, 2017
CNN's Jake Tapper:
Efforts today to conflate responsible reporting on IC presentation of 2 page annex with irresponsible posting of uncorroborated 35-pager.
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) January 11, 2017
Michael Brendan Dougherty, a columnist at The Week:
No, but seriously, what Buzzfeed did tonight hurts all journalists.
— Michael B Dougherty🍃 (@michaelbd) January 11, 2017
Washington Post reporter Abby Phillip:
The Buzzfeed document has made it really easy for Trump officials to deflect questions about other reports with more validity.
— Abby D. Phillip (@abbydphillip) January 11, 2017
Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw also weighed in during an interview on "Morning Joe."
He said that he and another NBC reporter had possession of the dossier but were unable to verify any of the claims laid out in it.
"It's not even reportable," said Brokaw.
Numerous other news outlets had the dossier but, like Brokaw, chose not to publish it.
The New York Times is one of those outlets. Executive editor Dean Baquet explained to his own newspaper:
"We, like others, investigated the allegations and haven't corroborated them, and we felt we're not in the business of publishing things we can't stand by."
Atlantic editor David Graham wrote in an essay at his outlet:
Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2017/01/11/journos-blast-buzzfeed-for-publishing-unsubstantiated-trump-dossier/#ixzz4VTPkaJaD
"The reporter's job is not to simply dump as much information as possible into the public domain, though that can at times be useful too, as some of WikiLeaks' revelations have shown. It is to gather information, sift through it, and determine what is true and what is not."
I will go as far as my reporting takes me on Trump. But no further. And a lot of stuff coming out tonight I can disprove or is unconfirmed.

I've been wanting to do more meal planing and I never quite know where to start. this sounds really easy and I like the variety it offers. I so know that feeling of not eating healthy without a meal plan.
question – with a toddler did you sign up as a family of 2 or 4? I like to have some leftovers so to not have to cook every day but I don't want tons! 🙂 Thanks for sharing – I will be checking this out for sure!
Tiffany Cutcliff says
Hi Jenny! I signed up for the family of 4, but my recipe turned out a little big. I ended up putting half in a tupperware and we reheated it this morning, which I am fine with! We tend to make big batches of a recipe and store the rest, but none of us mind eating the same thing a few days in a row.

Do That in a Mosque
The story of Novosibirsk's first Muslim place of worship 11/29/2013, 15:43
related tags
Sib.fm continues its series of publications about Novosibirsk's architectural landmarks that have managed to get lost among high-rise buildings and forgotten by tourist guides. This account is about the Novonikolayevsk Mohammedan Society's mosque. In less than 100 years, the unique example of religious architecture in the city changed its layout, function and ownership several times — from the Siberian Muslims' centre to a firefighters' club and road builders' office.
Sib.fm's editorial staff would like to thank the S.N. Balandin History of Siberian Architecture Museum for their assistance in preparing this article
The first mosque in Novonikolayevsk was built exclusively at the expense of believers — ordinary citizens and wealthy Tatar merchants. In 1907, after numerous motions and appeals, the Muslims received a 230-square-metre plot of land on Andreyevskaya Square, at the time a large piece of wasteland. Other options were considered, but were deemed inappropriate by the authorities or residents for various reasons. A little later, a brick primary school and circus tent were built nearby.
A couple of years later, a design for a wooden mosque was approved by the Tomsk Provincial Government. In their petitions, believers often pointed out that they had to pray in the street, sometimes in the rain and very uncomfortable conditions that were not very conducive to focusing on the matter in hand.
The wooden mosque option sat well with the majority, primarily due to the low cost of building materials. It was planned that the interior of the mosque would have two rows of windows and a mezzanine gallery, with the entrance under a wooden minaret. Of course, the building was oriented towards Mecca, and therefore turned at an angle to the local street grid.
According to Muslim activists, the building was supposed to accommodate no less than 300 people.
860 Muslims lived in Novonikolayevsk in 1910
The mosque was completed in 1916 and soon became an important social and religious centre in the city. It is noteworthy that the coming revolutionary turmoil had little effect on the Muslims' position and status — after all, the Civil War and resistance to Soviet rule lasted much longer in Siberia than in European Russia. Moreover, the Siberian Muslims Congress was held in the mosque in 1927 and approved a memorandum about the structure of faithful Muslims' spiritual lives in the new historical conditions. However, local authorities rejected the document, opposing the preservation of national societies that had developed on the basis of cultural and religious traditions.
Ten years later, a decree from the head of the city executive committee returned the land to the municipality and the building was taken away for administrative functions. Muslims led by their Imam, alongside Orthodox believers, Catholics and Buddhists who tried to keep their faith, were persecuted. The mosque was closed for renovation and its property was looted, while the minaret was almost immediately dismantled, so as not to bother the population, mobilised to fight vestiges of the past.
After reconstruction, an extension was added on to the building, increasing its length by 4.3 metres. Inside, the mezzanine balconies were dismantled, intermediate floors and ceilings were constructed, a staircase installed, and the high window frames were divided into two rows of small windows. As a result of these fast and unsophisticated actions, the spacious prayer house was turned into cramped offices. Responding to wartime needs, the building became a hospital, and then an out-patient clinic. The first fire station in the city, located nearby, set up a club there.
It is said that during training, novice firefighters set fire to the former mosque and took to extinguishing the flames with various degrees of haste depending on the task they had been set.
Novosibirsk's fifth mosque is opening in autumn 2013
Then the premises were given over to shops and offices, before again being returned to state institutions.
In the 1990s, after numerous requests from Muslim organisations to return the land and building to the Mufti Council, there were hopes that the mosque's original appearance would be restored. However, restoration work began only in 2011, when over 50% of the building, declared a historical monument, had already been lost. It was expected that the new old mosque would be opened in 2012.
At the moment, the interior and exterior decoration of the building is almost complete. The minaret and dome have been restored. In order to landscape the surrounding area, funds will be required from ordinary citizens and modern wealthy merchants, as of old.

The support of the local community wouldn't hurt the mosque either: it may be returning to its historical site after 100 years, but in vastly altered surroundings. Stalin-era blocks of flats, a multitude of offices and garages and a busy road junction don't make the most comfortable environment for a religious building. However, if friendly dialogue arises between visitors of these neighbouring facilities, it will be a lot easier for them all to co-exist, and the restored mosque will once again become one of the city's religious and cultural centres.

Design 1335 - Goose
This one has me scratching my head. This is actually the original 6-meter Goose, design #243, launched in 1938. In 1957 she was completely rebuilt at the Luders Yard in Stamford, Connecticut but with completely new strip planking. Then in 1971 her after sections, rudder and transom were heavily modified to what you see here. Yet the boat today seems to have the original transom. So at some point she was again modified, back to her original configuration.
So my questions are: why did we assign a new job number instead of simply giving the job a "C1" extension like we would normally do? Who would do this to such a beautiful boat as Goose? And when did it get reversed?
Here is the original sail plan.
And the modified sail plan.
Here is a detail of the modifications to the Lines.

I think the original stern hangs mounted in the main room of Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club.ReplyDelete
Back in these days there was no concept of "classic" or preserving old designs - only the idea that taking advantage of the breakthroughs of Intrepid may be retrofitted on older sixes. With the coming of the first International 6 Metre World Cup in 1973, some Seattle owners were willing to experiment with existing boats, instead of building new ones. Both Goose and Buzzy III (Design 1151) were modified in nearly exactly the same way, at the same time, side-by-side, with an added "kicker", shortened counter and slightly changed sail plan. Buzzy III had the added modification of having her keel shaved and "vee'd", with internal ballast added forward for balance. At the time there were up to 20 sixes on the line for weeknight racing at on Lake Washington in Seattle. The picture above was taken at Leschi Yacht Basin. The south portion of the marina is just beyond the yard, with the I-90 floating bridge western highrise descending to the lake in the further background.ReplyDelete

AF does not count law school as years of service in terms of TIS for pay calculations for non-priors. For the active duty FELP/ELP students, the time counts however.
All military branches have what's called "constructive credit" in which time spent in law school can be applied towards time in service. Each branch applies it differently. I work in a Marine Corps Judge Advocate's Office and know that the Marine Corps applies it differently than every other service. In the Marine Corps, it's applied after a Marine Officer completes Officer Candidate School, The Basic School for Officers and Naval Justice School. Other services will apply the time after commissioning and bar passage. This is important due to promotion as promotion boards come during certain periods of the year.

RUBBING shoulders daily with Paralympians at the Australian Institute of Sport has been one of several benefits to a season of wholesale change for the Brumbies, according to vice-captain Stephen Moore.
Former coach Jake White will arrive back in his beloved Canberra next week with the Sharks but apart from familiar faces and lingering vestiges of his game plan, he'd recognise little in the Brumbies post break-up.
The biggest change has been geographical, with the Brumbies having moved into temporary digs at the AIS over summer while their new headquarters at the University of Canberra are completed.
Players toured the facility this week but won't move into June, and as far as Moore is concerned, that's fine.
Though their spread-apart home is a far cry from their well-equipped former bowls club home at Kingston, credited for some of the Brumbies' success, unforeseen benefits of moving to the AIS have emerged.
"We're very lucky to train at the AIS and see the other athletes and the dedication they put in. That's very good for our young guys to see," Moore said.
"There are the resident athletes here training, and a lot of them are athletes with disabilities. To be able to watch those guys train and prepare is pretty inspirational for us.
"We can complain about getting in an ice bath or something but to see the lengths those guys go to, with the incapacities they've got, to achieve their goals, is pretty motivating for our guys."
The intimacy of their former digs is no longer; Larkham's office are found by walking through a maze of physio's rooms, players are in a different building and meals are taken not in a personal kitchen, but in the AIS communal dining hall.
It could have potentially seen the Brumbies' vaunted "family" edge lost but after White left and Stephen Larkham and Laurie Fisher took over, Moore says removal trucks were precisely what was required.
"After losing the final there and coming so close with a young group, there is potential there to fall into a bit of lull, in terms of what you need to do differently, what you need to evolve and change as a team," Moore says.
"The fact we had to move out of our old base and into the temporary set up at the AIS really forced us, in a way, to change what we were doing."
It has worked. The Brumbies have stayed Australian conference leaders with a 7/2 record, and looked the same powerful machine in 2013. Differences of on-field life post-White will be analysed next week with the Sharks arriving but it essentially boils down to this: same, same but different.
It might have been imagined the Larkham-Fisher regime would scale back the pragmatic White-formula and get back to their old free-flowing, attacking roots.
They have, but only a bit. Defensively they're the same aggressive beast but statistically, across most attacking indicators such as linebreaks, metres carried, offloads etc, the Larkham and White eras are almost indistinguishable.
The fact the Brumbies were an efficient try-scoring machine last season (43, fifth in the comp) means that their impressive total of 27 tries (=2nd) this year sees them marginally above 2013.
They now average 3 tries a game compared to 2.5 last year, and one or two other seemingly minor stats also point to the core of the Larkham influence.
After getting 42% of their points from penalties last year, the Brumbies have only got 28% this year. Points from tries have jumped from 45% to 56%, signalling the Brumbies aren't settling for the sticks as often but instead backing their attack; a failure of which hurt them in big games last year.
"We have certainly tried to grow our game. Last year, even though we scored a lot of tries, we probably were pretty conservative. This year we have a bit more licence to play what its in front of us," Moore said.
"Being a year older, with basically the same team, we are more comfortable with each other and with each other's game. That allows you to add a few more bits and pieces."
Brumby defence will have to be rock-solid on Saturday to beat the Crusaders in Christchurch, where no ACT side has won since 2000.
The team hasn't toured to Canterbury since 2010 due to the earthquake, meaning most Brumbies have never played there.
That lack of negative history may prove valuable, believes Moore, as will the Brumbies strong record of eight wins from 12 games in New Zealand in the last three seasons.
"We can draw confidence from that. We don't want to use travel as an excuse and we have tried to really avoid that as a team," Moore said.
"We will just get stuck in and try and get the job done."

Customer service at all levels
Monday May 17, 2010
Ben Buet discusses customer service.
My partner and I recently decided to buy a house together. From initial property searches to finally exchanging contracts last week, this has been one of the most stressful yet exciting experiences of our lives and one I have really enjoyed...most of the time!
Customer service is so important in any selling situation; whether it's just for a quick drink at a bar, staying at a five star hotel or even buying a house. If people can make you feel like a valued customer it can mean the difference between return custom or a poor reputation.
It has been a huge step for us purchasing our first house. The customer service that we received from all the different people we have dealt with has meant a lot and the difference between sleepless nights and peace of mind. When I'd felt out of my depth at times within this new world of property ownership, having someone to call or email for advice has made me feel so much better. Conversely, those who haven't been so helpful or didn't let me know what was going on just added to an already stressful situation. I was surprised at some of the errors and omissions in the service provided and began to wonder whether some 'service' organisations place any emphasis on customer service training.
Of course it starts with employing the right people; those with a 'can-do' attitude and who care about others. Do they screen their candidates for these essential traits?
People need to be happy and engaged in order to give great service. Did you know that a 5% increase in employee satisfaction will improve the bottom line by 2%? This is a fantastic reason to put some investment into improving service standards. Today's customer, more often than not, will rely on a recommendation from someone they know or respect so it makes sense to ensure that every single customer is saying great things.
Working for learnpurple I've come to expect great service from others. We live and teach great customer service (check out our great learning bite on customer service here). We know that great customer service can help your customers feel:
- Welcome
- Relaxed
- Cared for in a trust situation
- That they want to come back again and again
- Valued
Let us know if you have had a great or terrible experience with customer service that has shocked or amazed you...

President John Dramani Mahama yesterday inaugurated the Kpando water supply expansion project as he arrived in the Volta Region on his campaign tour.
The lifespan of the project extends to 2025.
It was built at a cost of about $13 million and will serve Kpando, Sovie, Anfoega, Nkonya Ahenkro and other surrounding communities.
To ensure the effective distribution of that volume of water a day, 110 kilometres of pipelines have been laid to various communities, while 50 standpipes have been constructed.
The Ghana Water Company is managing the project.
Huge welcome
Kpando came alive with the President's presence.
Hundreds of residents lined the streets waving NDC flags as the President's motorcade went through Kpando to the site of the project.
The Volta Region has been the heart of the NDC since 1992, registering huge votes in all the six elections conducted.
Portions of the Kpando water project
Volta Region not neglected
Giving an overview of water in the Volta Region, the President said: "This is one region this government has been very successful and has invested heavily in."
He said from a water coverage of 39.74 per cent in 2013, coverage was now about 70 per cent.
He also mentioned some of the projects undertaken in the Kpando area.
Following what the government had done in the region in terms of development, he said, he did not understand why some people kept saying that the Volta Region had been neglected.
He described the allegations as "propaganda" and "wicked lies".
President Mahama said the government was working on accreditation for the Nurses Training College at Kpando.
He also stated that a contract had been awarded for the asphalting of the road from the Kpando traffic lights to Kpando Tokor, in addition to Kpando town roads.
The Fiaga of Gbefi, Togbe Akom VIII, in a welcome address, commended the President for the effective manner in which he had steered the affairs of the country.
He said the Kpando municipality had benefited from many development projects under President Mahama.
Portions of the Kpando water project
After inaugurating the water project, the President addressed teeming supporters of the NDC at a rally in Kpando.
He again took on his opponents who wanted to discredit him and the NDC with false information about the neglect of the Volta Region.
He told the crowd that he was optimistic about the future of the country and added that if the choice the electorate would make in December would determine the county's direction, it was important to retain the NDC in power to ensure accelerated development.

Tang Silla Campaign > Fall of Paekche
Chinese Emperor Gao Zong, the "High Ancestor," concluded an alliance with Silla not to assist Silla in its conflict with Paekche and Koguryo, but to bring the entire peninsula under imperial control of the Tang Dynasty. The alliance merely provided a convenient method for China to get its foot on the peninsula without having to fight everyone in sight. The Tang emperor ordered a force of thirty-five armies into Korea in the spring of 660 AD, intending to first defeat the Kingdom of Paekche in alliance with Silla, then turn north against the Kingdom of Koguryo. The large invasion fleet that crossed the Yellow Sea from China carried nearly 123,000 crack Chinese troops under the command of Left Tiger Guard General Su Dingfang, fresh from his victory over the Tujue three years earlier, and General Liu Boying. The Chinese sailed toward a rendezvous with Silla's large army, which had already established a major encampment at Namch'on .
The Chinese fleet dropped anchor near the mouth of the Kum River, and sent a messenger to the Silla camp to announce their arrival. King Muyol ordered Crown Prince Pommin and his senior officers, including General Kim Yu-sin, to meet with the Chinese to coordinate the impending assault on Paekche. General Su Dingfang told Crown Prince Pommin that Chinese forces would move into Paekche by the lower reaches of the Kum River while Silla moved in from the east, and "We will meet at the walls of Sabi, Paekche's capital, on the tenth of the seventh month." The Chinese force landed near Ibolp'o, laying willow rush matting across the wide expanse of thick coastal mud that blocked their approach. In the east, King Muyol and Crown Prince Pommin moved their army to a forward encampment at Sara.
Paekche's King Uija had long ignored his senior officials' advice regarding matters of defense. Now under severe pressure from a two-pronged assault against his kingdom, King Uija moved too little and too late. In sheer desperation, he ordered a small detachment of warriors to block Silla's advance from the east while he and his retinue fled north to Ungjin near modern Kongju to seek refuge.
Three large armies pushed eastward into the area around Hwangsan near modern Yonsan led by General P'umil, General Kim Humch'un and General Kim Yu-sin. General P'umil's son, Kwanch'ang, was a handsome sixteen year old whose horsemanship and archery skills brought him to the attention of King Muyol. Appointed an adjunct general under his father's command, Kwanch'ang rode into battle against General Kyebaek's troops on the plain at Hwangsan
The battle had not gone well for Silla during the early fighting, but General P'umil's actions deeply strengthened their resolve to win. Under the hot summer sun of early July 660 AD, three Silla armies beat their drums, shouted war cries, and charged headlong into the enemy lines. In a brief but violent engagement at Hwangsan near modern Yonsan, Silla warriors mauled the badly outnumbered Paekche soldiers. King Muyol conferred a posthumous social rank on Kwanch'ang, buried him with full rites, and sent thirty rolls each of Chinese silk and cotton and one hundred sacks of grain for his funeral expenses. Many of Silla's legendary hwarang warriors earned their reputations during the Tang-Silla campaign against Paekche.
The fighting had gone on several days longer than expected, and one of Silla's commanders arrived late for a meeting with the Chinese general. General Su Dingfang angrily wanted to punish the commander for his late arrival and disobedience and ordered the man's execution. General Kim Yu-sin learned of the execution order when he met with General Su to report the news of his victories. Suspicious that China's real intentions were to first take Paekche and then attack Silla, in a sudden burst of anger, General Kim ripped his sword from its scabbard and threatened to fight the Tang army first then defeat Paekche. The sudden outburst stunned the Chinese commander, who quickly apologized to General Kim and rescinded his execution order.
The Silla and Tang armies linked up shortly afterwards and swept unimpeded toward the capital at Sabi. Paekche forces made their last stand at the Pusosansong Fortress, located on a steep hill near Sabi. According to legend, some 3,000 women of the Paekche court committed mass suicide by leaping from Nak'waam Rock, the "Rock of Falling Flowers," into the Paengma River below rather than allowing themselves to be captured.
The uneasy alliance between Tang China and Silla held firm during the conquest of Paekche, but Silla spies among the Tang armies encamped on the hills surrounding Sabi soon learned of Chinese plans to invade Silla. King Muyol gathered his generals and ministers to develop a strategy for dealing with this potential disaster. Lord Tami suggested that Silla men dress as Paekche warriors and act as if they are going to rebel. The Tang army would certainly strike out at such a development and give Silla an excuse to attack the Chinese. General Kim Yu-sin agreed with the proposal and asked the king for approval to proceed. Chinese spies soon learned of the plan, however. General Su Dingfang offered all the conquered Paekche territory as maintenance lands to General Kim Yu-sin and two other high ranking Silla officers "as reward for your merit." General Kim refused the offer.
In early September, General Su Dingfang took King Uija, ninety-three ministers, and twenty thousand soldiers as prisoners, and set sail for China, leaving General Liu Renyuan in Paekche to command an occupation army. After presenting his prisoners, General Su received words of commendation and indebtedness from Emperor Gao Zong, who also asked why he had not followed through with an attack on Silla. The general replied that, although Silla was indeed a small kingdom, its king was a very wise man and its generals were fierce and loyal fighters. He repeated the incident with General Kim Yu-sin and told the emperor that China could not successfully plot against them.

Dragon Mania Legends is a casual game where you create an island of dragons, constructing housing for all its creatures, buildings that provide food or cultivate their friendships – in short, all the necessary structures to have the biggest dragon colony.
Dragon Mania Legends is a unique game where you must breed dragons. There are over 300 of them. Along the way you develop your dragon island and explore your environment, with over 100 points of interest. An interesting 3-on-3 multiplayer fighting element adds to the fun.
You need a special habitat for each type of dragon. Fire dragons, for example, are developed in different habitats from air dragons. To level them up, you'll have to feed them with the food your own island produces, and to create new species of dragons, you'll have to combine them with each other.
When your dragons have reached the appropriate level, you can start fighting them. The combat happens in turns: first your dragons will attack and then the enemy's. If, when attacking, you manage to tap the screen at just the right moment, you'll inflict greater damage on your enemies and can utilize a special attack.
Dragon Mania Legends is a highly entertaining casual dragon game with excellent graphics (as is characteristic of the Gameloft brand) and an enormous amount of content in the form of missions and dragons.
