Here are two directory conventions I have found useful in organizing my elisp projects:
I use a convention of setting each subordinate library's symbol as a path-name relative to the main directory (ie, the root lisp directory of the package). For this to work right, load-path only points at the main directory.
For example, a directory structure might look like:
* (main directory) :: (Name isn't important. load-path only knows
about this directory)
* my-project-name/ :: * plugins/ :: * foo.el :: (provides `my-project-name/plugins/foo') * bar.el :: (provides `my-project-name/plugins/bar') * baz.el :: (provides `my-project-name/plugins/baz')
I do this because I feel that emacs' namespace is getting crowded and I keep encountering extension library names that try to squeeze project name and library name into one component, like "org-this-thing.el" or "pcmpl-that-thing.el".
This style has the official approval of emacs-devel (I asked) and I know of one other project besides mine that does this (CEDET).
I put testing and other support libraries in a subdirectory with the same name as the library they support. As author of the testing package Emtest, I've found that that works nicely. Just customize uniquify-buffer-name-style so that the various "test.el" buffers get named something clearer than "test.el<2>", "test.el<3>" etc.
Under this convention, part of the directory structure might look like:
* my-project-name/ :: * plugins/ :: * foo.el :: (the library itself) * foo/ :: * tests.el :: (tests pertaining to "foo.el") * testhelp.el :: (code that is useful in testing "foo.el" and also useful testing other files that build on "foo.el") * examples :: * file1 :: (a file used in tests) * file2 :: (another file used in tests) * bar.el :: * bar/ :: * tests.el :: (tests pertaining to "bar.el") * (etc) :: * baz.el :: * baz/ :: * tests.el :: (tests pertaining to "baz.el") * (etc) ::

CCRI NEASC Accreditation Website
The Community College of Rhode Island develops a comprehensive Self Study as part of its re-accreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) every ten years. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by NEASC indicates it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality through a peer reveiw process. An accredited institution is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and exhibits reasonable evidence that it proposes to continue to do so.
CCRI's Self Study is a rigorous endeavor involving the entire campus in a progression of self examination aimed at institutional improvement. This document has two fundamental purposes. The first is to assure the quality of the institution and its programs and second, to assist in the enhancement of the institution and programs.
This site provides information about accreditation and documents related to the Self Study process. The CCRI community looks forward to this opportunity. The re-accreditation process will culminate in 2014, when the evaluation team visits our campuses to meet with faculty, staff and students in order to attain a first hand knowledge of the Community College of Rhode Island.
Questions or comments can be forwarded to email@example.com.

Hey there so I'm trying to get back into rping again and am hoping to find some potential rp partners. I am a little partial towards fandoms at the moment but some original rps wouldn't be bad. Do not link me to your thread. I made my own for a reason.
What I'm looking for in a partner;
- Someone that can post multiple paragraphs. Or at least one. No one liners please.
- Someone that can play both male and female. This includes doubling.
- Those who like descriptions as well as real pictures. No anime please. (Unless we do an anime fandom)
- Can play side characters when they're needed.
- Someone that can post everyday. Though I understand life getting in the way.
- Someone that does email or threads. I hate pms for rping and I will only ever use IM for ooc chat.
What you can expect;
- Will play side characters as needed.
- Can play both male and female.
- Posts multiple paragraphs.
- I'm usually able to post everyday.
Just a few things I'd like to cover that wouldn't necessarily be 'rules'.
I'm looking for thread or email rps. For fandoms I'm looking for canon x oc. I would like to play the oc, and I can double as a canon in return. (I don't mind doing canon x canon if we are doubling.) Depending on the canon pairing I might do it without doubling.
Also please, please no stupid characters! What I mean by this is, if we're doing a rp with vampires and your character is a human with no way to defend themselves then don't go around telling off vampires and acting like your all big and bad! Not only does that make me feel like the character is a complete idiot, but turns me off of a roleplay.
Now this isn't to say I have a problem with strong women characters because I don't. But humans generally can't overpower a vampire, so to tell them off or whatever is sooo idiotic.
I wouldn't mind possible love triangles if your up for them.
Craving; Vampire Diaries. Have plots for Kol and Klaus I'd love to try.

An Alorton man faces charges of threatening an assistant state's attorney who was prosecuting him for illegal dumping.
Norman J. Stuckey, 58, faces a Class 3 felony for threatening a public official. He was charged Thursday by a special prosecutor.
The charge alleges that Stuckey of threatened the life of St. Clair County Assistant State's Attorney Ben Henning and that the threat was made when Henning was performing his duties as an assistant state's attorney.
Stuckey was in the St. Clair County Building in Courtroom 108 on Tuesday facing open burning, improper disposal and open dumping charges issued May 30 by the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department.
During the negotiations on the dumping tickets, prosecutors say Stuckey threatened Henning, who told bailiffs. State's Attorney Brendan Kelly declined to comment on what Stuckey said to Henning.
The case was then investigated by the sheriff's department.
"I'm grateful for the quick action of the bailiffs, sheriff's department and the Appellate Prosecutor," Kelley said. "Such alleged threats cannot be taken lightly and cannot be tolerated."
Stuckey was previously charged with aggravated battery with a firearm and aggravated battery in 2006. He was convicted of domestic battery in 2007. He also was convicted of unlawful use of a shotgun and unlawful use of a weapon.
Stuckey's bail was set at $50,000, and he was ordered to surrender any firearms in his possession as a condition of bond.
The charge of threatening a public official carries a possible prison sentence of two to five years.

One-Way Love
Receiving grace without conditions
In 1862, French poet, playwright and novelist Victor Hugo released his magnum opus Les Miserables, considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. In 1998, Hugo's masterpiece found its cinematic zenith in the Bille August-directed film of the same name.
In both adaptions, one scene stands out above the rest. A scene filled with something that is radically counter-intuitive to our sensibilities as human beings. A scene that is an echo of something much greater that we desperately need.
At the beginning of the movie, we meet ex-convict Jean Valjean who has just been released from a 19-year prison sentence for stealing a loaf of bread. Trying to get on his feet, Valjean attempts to find a place to live, but no one will take him in -- except for one: Bishop Myriel.
It doesn't take long for Valjean's old temptation to rear its ugly head. When everyone is asleep one night, Valjean goes to the cupboard and pilfers some of the bishop's silver. He makes a run for it but is eventually caught red-handed. The police bring him before the bishop.
Here is Valjean, standing before the bishop, being held by the police. Intense is an understatement. The bishop looks at the police and proclaims something extraordinary. He says that he gave the silver to Valjean as a gift.
If that isn't enough, the bishop goes over to the mantelpiece, takes two silver candlesticks and says that actually more silver had been forgotten by Valjean. He places the candlesticks in Valjean's hands. The police have no choice but to let Valjean go free. The story doesn't end there.
After the authorities leave, the bishop looks at Valjean and says this to him: "Now, go in peace. By the way, my friend, when you come again, you needn't come through the garden. You can always come and go by the front door. It is only closed with a latch, day or night."
Did you catch that? The bishop not only gave him mercy by forgetting the original crime and letting him keep the silver he stole, he also gave him more mercy by giving him more silver. And then, he gave him even more mercy by giving him the best gift of all: his trust.
I know the first time I saw this scene, I thought, "Valjean doesn't deserve this -- he deserves to be punished!" But that isn't what the bishop gave Valjean, did he? He lavished his mercy upon an underserving criminal who was out to take something very precious from him.
The bishop does something so radically counter-intuitive to us. Something that feels so unnatural to us. He gave him unconditional grace.
So why does this feel strange to us? Why does the bishop's move leave such a bad taste in our mouths? Well, I have a theory. I think the reason we resist no-strings-attached mercy is because we live in a society based on conditions.
When you look at the world around us, isn't that the message we perceive? Everything in our culture demands a trade of some kind. You do this for me, I'll do this for you. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
Or, we may go this route. If I achieve this, then and only then will I receive meaning. If I accomplish this, then and only then will I receive security. If I can pull this off, then and only then will I receive respect.
And that's why we like conditions -- it keeps us in control. I know that is why I like them. If I know that if I perform this formula and it will result in that result, I'll pursue it because I get to grip the steering wheel. Conditions make sense to us. Do this and that happens.
But unconditionality -- we just can't seem to wrap our minds around that. It doesn't' make any sense to us. We are so acclimated to conditionality because we are told in this world in a myriad of ways that there is always a catch.
We impose this upon God as well. We think that in order for God to truly extend his mercy to us, we have to give him back something in return. We feel like we owe him something, right?
So we resort to spiritual checklists because they feel much safer. If we can complete our spiritual "to do" list, it gives us the illusion that things are good between God and us because we have played a part in it.
But God's grace isn't conditional and that is why it messes with us. It's unreserved. It's not a back-and-forth, two-way love. God's grace is always one-way love.
There is a great quote from an old, stodgy Lutheran theologian I love -- Gerhard Forde -- who describes it this way: "The gospel ... is such a shocker ... because it is an absolutely unconditional promise. It is not an 'if-then' kind of statement, but a 'because-therefore' pronouncement: because Jesus died and rose, your sins are forgiven and you are righteous in the sight of god! It bursts in upon our little world all shut up and barricaded behind our accustomed conditional thinking as some strange comet from goodness-knows-where."
Forde continues: "How can it be entirely unconditional? Isn't it terribly dangerous? How can anyone say flat out, "you are righteous for Jesus' sake?" Is there not some price to be paid, something (however minuscule) to be done? After all, there can't be such thing as a free lunch, can there?
Forde's right. That's exactly what we do with God's grace. We put conditions on it. We take a "yes grace but" position. We think there is something that has to be done on our end. There can't just be free grace for the taking, can there?
The last words that Jesus spoke before he gave us his spirit on the cross were three words we need to massage into our hearts. "It is finished." There is no more work for us to do. In Christ, we are completely accepted. We are completely loved. In full. The work is done.
Grace announces that Jesus met all of God's conditions on our behalf so that God's mercy towards us could be unreserved.
That's the beauty of grace. It requires no work on our part. In Jesus, we can be forgiven. We can be made clean. We don't earn it -- we simply receive it because it's free.

China unveils its new leaders headed by Xi Jinping
BEIJING - China has completed its carefully managed power transfer on Thursday morning and unveiled a new pinnacle leadership for the next decade under the helm of Communist Party chief Xi Jinping, 59, and incoming premier Li Keqiang, 57.
The duo headed a group of seven newly installed Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) members who walked out from behind a screen at a media conference - in hierarchical order reflecting their ranks - at the Great Hall of the People.
The others were Vice-Premier Zhang Dejiang, 66; Shanghai party boss Yu Zhengsheng, 67; Propaganda Department head Liu Yunshan, 65; Vice-Premier Wang Qishan, 64; and Tianjin chief Zhang Gaoli, 66.
The leaders' catwalk ended months of intense suspense over the eventual size and make-up of the PSC and years of intense wrangling and bargaining between top leaders to grab coveted seats for themselves or their protégés.
The new leadership has Mr Li Keqiang as the only outright ally of outgoing party chief Hu Jintao against four men viewed as members of the Shanghai clique headed by former president Jiang Zemin.

Legacy of the London 2012 Games in Herefordshire
9:30am Friday 17th August 2012 in Local News
The London 2012 Olympics have been and gone – but the spirit of the games was certainly felt in Herefordshire. Reporter Lydia Johnson meets the Herefordians who volunteered, flew to the capital and held Olympic events at their own homes...
Ride of a lifetime
Steve Webb surprised his parents Bonny and Gail, from Mordiford , by buying them a heliopter ride that flew them from Hereford Racecourse to Battersea in London.
They got tickets to watch an evening of athletics on August 9 and saw Jamaica's Usain Bolt and Kenya's David Rudisha in action before they flying home the following day.
"It was absolutely fantastic, especially seeing Bolt run," said Bonny.
Theatre skills came in handy
Matt Watkins, a graduate of the Courtyard's Youth Theatre, was a senior stage manager for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games.
Matt took part in various productions at the Courtyard before becoming part of the backstage team where he was able to build his experience working in stage management. He will also use his skills again during the opening and closing ceremonies of the forthcoming Paralympic Games.
Never too old for gold
Joan Powell was a winner when Coldwells House care home in Holmer held its own Olympics.
The 89-year-old, who had been preparing for the mini games for weeks, proved that hard work and persistence pays off when she won Gold in the care home's basket ball and the egg and spoon race, along with silver in the shot put.
Across the city stroke patients at South Hereford's Hillside Centre staged events that physiotherapists knew would boost inspiration and rehabilitation, from bowls and basketball to shooting and target throws.
Volunteering on "another planet"
Bromyard woman Margaret Taylor described her time volunteering at the Olympics as like being 'on another planet'.
The 61-year-old spent two weeks helping volunteer drivers at the London 2012 Olympics transport the rich and famous to and from the games.
Margaret, who works at the town's Post Office, said: "Although my role was not the most glamorous, it was a very practical, useful roles."

Arabic rail poster was 'accurate translation of original Gibberish'

Highland Park Swings Thor's Hammer
Jack Bettridge
Posted: September 21, 2012
When you have Scotland's northern most distillery (Highland Park) on a remote island (Orkney) that was once part of Norway, it's very tempting to invoke Norse gods once in a while. And so we have the Valhalla collection, which recently debuted with Thor and is planned to include three other single-malt Scotches, also named for Viking deities, in the coming years.
At a glance, it's easy to be captivated by the mere packaging: a rectangular bottle encased in a wooden frame akin to a Viking ship, with serpentine prows facing in opposite directions. But it would be a mistake to dismiss this 16-year-old, limited-release one-off as nothing more than a pretty box. The formidable whisky inside is a fascinating departure for Highland Park, even as it contains its basic DNA.
The 104.2 proof (52.1 alcohol by volume) provides the punch that distinguishes this malt from other Highland Park releases. Martin Daraz, the company's brand ambassador in U.S., says that Highland Park is often referred to as the "velvet hammer. Well, Thor might just be the hammer."
And it does pack a wallop while never forgetting the signature factors of its Orcadian upbringing (cold climate, prevailing winds, particularly aromatic peat) and creation at the Highland Park (traditional floor maltings and use of Sherry barrels in aging). Like the 25-Year-Old, it is the product a mix of first-fill Sherry casks and previously used vessels. In the case of Thor, some of the casks are made with American, as opposed to Spanish, oak.
Daraz says that Orkney peat smells and tastes markedly different than the peat used in Islay and makes a distinct impression even while its only used in increments of two to four parts per million (far lower than some of the peat bombs that weigh in above 50 ppm). Its effect is a more nougat-like smoke with hints of chocolate.
Just for fun we decided to taste in combination with its older brother, the 25-Year-Old, against a brace of cigars.

Highland Park Valhalla Collection - Thor (104.2 proof or 52.1 percent alcohol by volume, $199)
APPEARANCE: Light gold, champagne color. Sturdy, quick, no-nonsense legs.

Today's card is another Stampin Addicts Birthday Swap and fits into the category of masculine. See yesterday's post for feminine.
Before you go dismissing this card because you think it is too difficult or because it involves watercoloring, bear with me.
It was actually easy to do and I will explain the process.
1. Stamp the image from Countryside stamp set, and the Sincere Salutations sentiment with Black Stazon ink on Naturals Ivory cardstock. If you haven't tried this cardstock it is a wonderful choice for masculine or nature or rustic cards. And cheap!
2. Add water to the top 2/3 of the card with an Aquapainter. It is ok if there are bare spots.
3. Add Not Quite Navy reinker around the edges with a watercolor brush. Allow the color to float around.
4. Add Crumb Cake reinker to the truck and ground with a clean watercolor brush.
Remember: it is ok if the colors blend or go outside/inside the lines.
5. Allow to dry. I used a heat tool to speed it up.
6. Tear some Crumb Cake cardstock to resemble the ground. Sponge the edges.
7. Layer and tie the Early Espresso Baker's Twine. Then layer to card front.
8. Add splatter with a Basic Black Marker and Color Spritzer Tool.
You can do this, you really can!
Stamps: Countryside, Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Not Quite Navy, Naturals Ivory
Ink: Not Quite Navy and Crumb Cake reinker; Black Stazon, Basic Black Marker
Other: Aquapainter, Water color Brush, Color Spritzer Tool, Early Espresso Baker's Twine
Thanks for stopping! And just a reminder - Sale-a-bration is still going strong! Don't forget to take advantage of this fabulous sale before it is too late.

Not only did Ultima Online launch but it broke an astonishing record hosting over 100,000 players. UO and even the creator Richard Garriott developed a cult following with many monumental and memorable moments in mmo history coming from the UO corner:
On August 9, 1997, one of gaming's most beloved characters was brutally and publicly exterminated mid-speech in the early beta stages of Ultima Online. The act heralded the dawning of a new era of PC gaming. The assassin, a Minneapolis software consultant named Rainz, belonged to a guild dedicated to maintaining the balance of power in Ultima Online (UO) and could not resist the opportunity to immolate the "ultimate wielder of tyrannical rule" in the series' fictional world -Gamespy article

LA Times reports — The Clippers pulled off the biggest trade in franchise history, acquiring New Orleans Hornets four-time All-Star point guard Chris Paul in a blockbuster deal that took many twists and turns before coming to fruition Wednesday.
The Clippers sent guard Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman and his expiring $12.7-million contract to the Hornets, along with second-year forward Al-Farouq Aminu and the 2012 unprotected first-round draft pick the Clippers acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2005.
The Clippers also get two 2015 second-round draft picks from the Hornets.
After a Lakers deal for Paul was killed twice by the NBA last week, much had been made about the Clippers' unwillingness to put Gordon in the deal, about the NBA hijacking the process from New Orleans General Manager Dell Demps and about the league's high asking price.
The Clippers balked at a deal last week and pulled out of negotiations again Monday morning after another round of talks with the NBA on Sunday night.
The NBA initiated talks again with the Clippers on Tuesday afternoon, and those seemed to go nowhere as well.
Each time, the reports were that the NBA wanted Gordon and the first-round pick — which is expected to be very high — and that the Clippers viewed that as too much. In the end, the Clippers sent both to the Hornets.
But the Clippers didn't trade second-year point guard Eric Bledsoe, whose name also had been mentioned in the talks.
The Clippers said they will have a news conference Thursday with Paul, Coach Vinny Del Negro and Neil Olshey, the team's vice president of basketball operations, at the team's training facility in Playa Vista. The deal already has sent reverberations throughout the NBA.
"I think that the Clippers are finally relevant," former Phoenix Suns general manager Steve Kerr, an NBA analyst for TNT, said Wednesday night in a telephone interview on NBA TV. "Man, it looks like the Clippers are actually poised to kind of take over that town. [Paul] is the guy that's going to take them to the next step."
Paul, 26, due to earn $16.3 million this season, informed the Clippers that he will pick up his option for the 2012-13 season at $17.7 million.
That means he will play alongside Clippers All-Star Blake Griffin for at least two seasons. The hope inside the Clippers' front office is that Paul will want to sign a long-term extension.
"The Clippers are going to be nice," Shaquille O'Neal, the former Laker who now works as a studio analyst for TNT, said in a phone interview Wednesday.
"They've got Chris Paul, Caron [Butler], my man Blake Griffin. They've got the potential to do some damage in the playoffs, especially with the shortened 66-game season. I can't wait to watch them play."
The addition of Paul gives the Clippers a crowded backcourt of point guards. They have Mo Williams, whom they acquired last season for Baron Davis.

LANSING -- Governor Rick Snyder called for changes in how the state pays for student learning.
If lawmakers approve the new bill, the proposal would replace the 1979 School Aid Act.
Currently, 90% of general education funds is based on October attendance.
The draft bill lets funding follow students, who could take one or more courses or entire education packages from any Michigan school district participating in open enrollment.

School's Out: America's Dropout Crisis
School's Out: An Overview of America's Dropout Crisis
Why Dropout Data Can Be So Unreliable()
July 28, 2011 Accurate dropout figures are very hard to find because most states don't adequately collect or analyze the data. Part of the problem is that every state has had a different definition for dropout. Dropped out and then enrolled in a GED program? Some states don't consider you a dropout.
A High School Dropout's Midlife Hardships()
July 28, 2011 In ninth grade, Kenny Buchanan dropped out of school. Now, 26 years later, his life is driven by the search for a permanent job that can support his family.
No-Show Students Drop Out Despite Interventions()
July 27, 2011 Danny Lamont Jones (right) raised lots of red flags not long after he enrolled as an eighth-grader in a Baltimore school. He was quiet, struggling academically, and he didn't show up very often. It's unclear whether efforts to keep the 16-year-old in school will succeed.
Teen Fights To Succeed In Rural S.C. Community()
July 26, 2011 Nearly a third of students in rural areas don't graduate. In states like South Carolina, lots of teenagers just don't think they need a high school diploma. Nick Dunn, 16, is at risk of joining the ranks of dropouts. School administrators say he lives under "chaotic conditions" at home.
A Young Mother Resists A Cycle Of Failure()
July 26, 2011 Not a day goes by that Lauren Ortega doesn't regret quitting high school. Now, after having two children, the 20-year-old Californian is struggling to complete her GED even as she and her boyfriend are barely able to make ends meet.
From Drug Dealing To Diploma, A Teen's Struggle()
July 25, 2011 Of all the problems this country faces in education, one of the most complicated, heart-wrenching and urgent is the dropout crisis. Nearly 1 million teenagers stop going to school every year. Patrick Lundvick, 19, had been hustling and involved with gangs on the streets of South Chicago for much of his life. After dropping out of school at 15, he spent time in jail. Now he's getting a second chance.
The Cost Of Dropping Out()
July 24, 2011 Nearly 1 million teenagers stop going to school every year. And the impact of that decision is lifelong and the statistics are stark. Dropouts are more likely to commit crimes, abuse drugs and alcohol, become teenage parents, live in poverty and commit suicide.

Match report: York City 1, Mansfield Town 1
11:45am Thursday 3rd May 2012 in Match reports By Dave Flett, Sports reporter
Under pressure from Ashley Chambers, Mansfield's Exodus Geohaghon diverts the balll past Alan Marriott for City's leveller
YORK City will rely on their excellent away form to take them into the Blue Square Bet Premier play-off final after fighting out a 1-1 home draw with Mansfield Town last night.
The Stags will also be without suspended 30-goal striker Matt Green for Monday's semi-final, second leg at Field Mill after he received his marching orders on 74 minutes for two bookable offences – both for fouls on fit-again City goalkeeper Michael Ingham.
Earlier, Mansfield had forged ahead midway through the first period courtesy of a Ross Dyer header but an Exodus Geohaghon own goal levelled the scores before the break.
Ingham returned between the sticks for the Minstermen after missing the last three games with ankle ligament damage, meaning goalkeeper coach Paul Musselwhite dropped to the bench.
City boss Gary Mills also restored James Meredith, Chris Smith, Jason Walker, Ashley Chambers, Matty Blair, and Paddy McLaughlin to his starting line-up after rotating the squad for Saturday's final match of the regulation season at home to Forest Green.
The hosts started the game at break-neck speed with centre-back Chris Doig passing up a great opportunity to open the scoring in only the second minute.
Following McLaughlin's half-cleared corner, Doig hooked the ball over Alan Marriott's goal from seven yards.
Mansfield's only real first-half threat came from Geohaghon long throws.
The former Kettering centre-back hurled the ball into City's penalty box any time the ball went out of play in the home half and, on 12 minutes, Anthony Howell headed wide from one of his first missiles.
Howell also glanced over from ten yards from a Gary Roberts cross before City had the ball in the visitors' net only to be denied by an offside flag after Blair had helped Smith's goalbound attempt over the line.
At the other end, Luke O'Neill's 30-yard free-kick sailed over Ingham's bar before the Stags broke the deadlock on 26 minutes – inevitably from a Geohaghon throw.
Blair and Dyer both jumped up at the near post with the latter claiming the decisive touch as the ball flew into Ingham's bottom right-hand corner.
A moment of ill-discipline by City skipper Smith then saw him escape with only a caution for hacking down Green off the ball and Roberts' close-range header also called Ingham into action.
But City steadied themselves with a 15-yard Chambers drive that was parried to safety by Marriott before the equaliser arrived on 42 minutes.
Raiding down the right flank, Jon Challinor delivered a dangerous low cross into the six-yard box that Geohaghon intercepted but, in doing so, the 6ft 5in centre-back prodded the ball past a despairing Marriott.
City then had Mansfield on the back foot with Walker's speculative 35-yard effort almost catching Marriott off his line.
Walker also dragged an excellent chance across the face of goal after bursting through the right channel to collect a Chambers header.
City 'keeper Ingham, though, needed to be alert to charge off his line and head clear as Green bore down on his goal with the latter receiving his first caution for catching the former Northern Ireland international.
Lindon Meikle also fired over with an angled 15-yard drive, which proved the last kick of an absorbing half.
On the restart, an edge-of-the-box half-volley by Blair failed to stretch Marriott on 49 minutes, while Green lifted a 15-yard attempt woefully over after Dyer had brushed past Jamal Fyfield too easily.
Howell then drove into Ingham's chest from 12 yards and Fyfield was skating on thin ice when he dangled out a leg to trip Roberts, having had his name taken earlier.
Green was not as fortunate on 74 minutes when referee Richard Clark brandished his yellow card, promptly followed by the red, after the former Oxford striker made contact with Ingham again after chasing an Adam Murray through ball.
City skipper Smith headed over a great chance from Meredith's cross and Challinor fired wide from 25 yards as the home side looked to make their numerical advantage count.
Blair also drove over from the edge of the box and Adriano Moké headed over from a cross by Challinor.
But Moké's low, long-distance effort, comfortably gathered by Marriott in the fifth minute of stoppage time, proved the final chance of the night.
City now travel to Field Mill having just finished their league programme with only three defeats on the road – a club record.

"Green was not as fortunate on 74 minutes when referee Richard Clark brandished his yellow card, promptly followed by the red, after the former Oxford striker made contact with Ingham again after chasing an Adam Murray through ball." I was under the impression he got a 2nd yellow for hand ball

Same ref Monday so careful - he may want to even things up!
Parslow/Blair both 8/10 for me.
Most would have brought Reedy on as soon as they were down to 10. Our extra man was a hobbling Doig so pretty ineffective in a cup tie.

Its going to be a tense match without this war of words. In our favour is the experience that we will have gathered from the Luton games. A large hostile crowd, the majority of whom will be expecting to see Mansfield Town batter us into submission. We need to start well and keep their crowd quiet. The longer we are in the game, the better our chances become. But we simply must take advantage of any goalscoring opportunities that come our way.

Thank you for sharing. I really love the jacket. The scarf and gloves are nice because let's be realistic it is a freezing cold winter this year. The hat is what worries me, I am not a fan. Men just shouldn't wear animal print, in my opinion.

I love the hat on him. It's different, yet fashionable. I live in the mid-west and this type of style is slowly making it's way here and I'm loving it. It's outside of the box. Great job styling, photography, models and all.

Why is it called EDS?
Written by Valerie Burrows
A syndrome is a collection of physical features, which, when they occur together, enable a physician to recognize a certain condition.
Many different problems occur in EhlersDanlos Syndrome (EDS) and not everyone will have all the problems or have them to the same degree but at least some of them must be present for a diagnosis of EhlersDanlos Syndrome. There are, at least, nine different types of EDS and the severity, even within the type, can vary in the same family.
The history of EDS begins in 1657 where the first written reports, by a surgeon called Van Meerken, appear in Latin. Although it was noted by Hippocrates in 400 BC that Nomads and Scythians were lax of joint and had multiple scars. Van Meerken describes the hyperelastic skin of a Spanish sailor and the joint laxity of a professional contortionist who Van Meerken presented to a group of senior physicians at the Academy of Leiden.
The next place a report of the syndrome is found is in Moscow in 1891 where a Dr. A.N. Chernogubov presented a boy of seventeen years old at a meeting of the Moscow Venereology and Dermatology Society. The boy had recurrent joint dislocations and cutaneous nodules, his skin was hyperextensible and fragile and he had multiple scars resulting from minor injuries. Chernogubov accurately diagnosed that the clinical manifestations were caused by an abnormality of the connective tissues. The article written by Chernogubov did not come to the notice of Western Europe at that time however, to this day, EhlersDanlos Syndrome is still known by his name in his own country.
We now move to Paris in 1899 where Edward Ehlers from Denmark spoke at a clinical meeting of the Paris Society of Syphilology and Dermatology. The patient he presented was a law student from the Island of Bornholm in the Gulf of Bosnia. The young man had joint laxity and orthopaedic complications. He also has hyperextensible skin and had developed pigmented lesions over the bony prominences due to minor traumas.
Again in Paris, about nine years later, Henri-Alexandre Danlos gave a presentation to the same Society. Danlos was specifically interested in Dermatology and his scientific work received recognition in 1904 when he was elected President of the Paris Medical Society then, in 1906, he became Secretary of the Dermatological Society of Paris. At the 1908 presentation, Danlos disagreed with the diagnosis originally made by another physician and drew attention to extensibility and fragility of the patient's skin. He stated that the lesions over the bony prominences where posttraumatic 'pseudo tumors' in a patient with an inherent defect which he termed 'cutis laxa'. There followed a discussion in which the original physician maintained his initial diagnosis but Danlos persisted and drew attention to Ehlers report in 1901 and one from the Berne Congress by Kohn in 1906.
By 1936, other isolated cases had occurred and there was some problem over the name, it was proposed in an article in the British Journal of Dermatology by Frederich Parkes-Weber that it be named EhlersDanlos Syndrome and this has now gained universal acceptance over other names such as Cutis Hyperlastica by which it was once known.

Juhi Parmar won the Bigg Boss 5 reality show last weekend, but did she really deserve to win?
Several readers, and even former contestants are quite divided on her win, many opting for Sky instead.
We decided to ask some former contestants of the show, and see what they had to say about Juhi, and the other housemates.
Kashmera Shah
I liked everything about Bigg Boss season 5 because everybody reacted when they were attacked, unlike in previous seasons.
I liked Sky the most because he was honest. Pooja Missra was entertaining with her antics but towards the end, she started picking fights unnecessarily.
I somehow didn't like Shonali Nagrani after she blamed Pooja (Shonali raised a hue and cry when Pooja Missra snapped a broom by hitting it on the floor. Shonali alleged that a fragment of the broom flew into her eye and demanded Pooja's eviction).
Juhi deserves to be the winner. She didn't keep quiet but stood up when she had to. She was expected to win but I wanted Sky to win.
The allegations made against Amar were uncalled for especially coming from an adult movie star like Sunny Leone.

East Silver's annual industry breakfasts during the last weekend of Jihlava IDFF provides a platform for filmmakers, funds, producers and distributors to offer insight into their documentary practices and present their newest projects and initiatives, highlighting opportunities for East European filmmakers. Participants of this year's French, German and Finnish breakfasts shared the honest truth to Doc.Revue about their facts and figures. And what surfaces is a clearer perception of the East European reality when seeking co-productions with the West.
Although producer Benoit Gryspreerdt of French Cuisine Productions has collaborated with several French production companies on over a dozen co-productions thus far, none of them have been from the Eastern European region, but rather from the United States, Brazil, Germany, South-Africa and the UK. "I have a personal taste and bound with South Africa," he says, "A country that has undergone major changes in the last few years is an interesting region – with a reservoir of new talents that need recognition. The same likely applies to East European countries." Although Gryspreerdt has not yet tackled the region, his interest has indeed been ignited by his Eurodoc network connections, through which he has met several Eastern European producers and directors. "And should the opportunity to work with them arise," he says "I'd take it with no doubt."
Producer Cécile Lestrade, a new member to Alter Ego Productions, said she joined the team specifically to develop co-productions, with already Italian and Portuguese collaborations to her credit. East European countries still remain the untouched territory according to Lestrade, but the incentive to co-produce definitely exists among the French. Gabriel Chabanier of Galatica Group, a new producing collective that includes ten pre-existing French companies, has co-produced with Portugal, Germany and Luxembourg, and says practicalities like subject matter, team members, funds and facilities are the determining factors when selecting countries with whom to co-produce.
Turning to cooperating film funds in France, all East Silver delegates suggested the Centre National de la Cinématographie (CNC) as the leading organization. Others mentioned were Procirep (Society for Producers of Cinema and Television), SCAM (author association), and the Ministries of Social Affairs and Culture. Naturally, all funds are specific to regions and topics, but as Benoit Gryspreerdt advised, often the rules and regulations are more flexible when it comes to documentaries.
Making the top of the list for reputable documentary distributors in France are Catherine Le Clef of Cat&DOCS, Andana Films, 10 Francs, Marathon, Terranoa (Gédéon), INA, FRTV Distribution, ARTE, and TF1 Video. Cécile Lestrade adds that "most distributors of feature films can be interested in distributing documentaries as well." Producer Marie Clemence Paes of Laterit Productions, however, cautions that distributors are often not specific to countries or regions, but rather more focused on authors.
When looking to broadcasters, filmmakers should be aware of the major networks: France Télévisions (includes France 2, 3, 4 and 5), Canal Plus and ARTE. Of course, dealing with French networks is always easier when a French producer is tied to the project – for Eastern Europeans, the best bet is to develop this relationship straight from the pre-production phase. Standards are also important to consider when seeking broadcast. In France, it's necessary to dub every broadcasted documentary film. Subject matter is also esoteric to each network, along with proposal presentation and artistic approach. Marie Clemence Paes sees a distinct departure from culture, art and philosophy, as tabloid topics are infiltrating the cable channels. In the face of mounting commissioned programs, Paes urges personal films with strong original insights.
Co-producing is just as prominent in Germany as in France, but as the straight facts were gathered from our East Silver producers, it looks like co-productions between Germany and Eastern Europe countries are slightly more common. Countries such as Spain, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, The Netherlands, Belgium Austria, Switzerland, Canada, the United States, Ireland, UK, and France often surface as co-producing allies on a more regular basis, but German producer Christian Beetz, of the Berlin-based Gebrüder Beetz Filmproduktion, offers a more positive statistic however, with over 9 current co-productions-partners from Eastern Europe. Heino Deckert of Deckert Distribution has co-produced with both Poland and the Czech Republic, but admits that, due to the language factor, his interests lay with Austria and Switzerland. His experiences in Eastern Europe are favorable, however, because of "good stories and low prices," though he admits that sometimes a lack of experience can create a challenge. Stefan Kloos, of the world sales and distribution company, Rise and Shine, and CEO and producer of Kloos & Co., co-produced with Endorfilm in Prague on the German-Czech co-production series, Breathless (premiering during Jihlava IDFF) and reflects upon it as a "very nice and constructive experience."
Funding, of course, is always a bit tricky in every circumstance. Both Deckert and Beetz have experience with almost all of the fifteen funding institutes in Germany, including the national funds like BKM (Commission of Culture and Media) and the German Federal Film Board (FFA), who focus on theatrical release, as well as the regional funds such as Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg and NRW Filmstiftung.
Deckert Distribution, Rise and Shine and First Hand Films are recognized as Germany's esteemed distribution companies keen on distributing Eastern European content, but according to Deckert, German broadcasters such as ARD (and its regional stations WDR, RBB, MDR, SWR, BR), 3SAT, ARTE and ZDF can still be considered the major distributors of documentary. For Eastern European filmmakers, the same international guidelines apply when considering a broadcaster's preferences – primetime series, suitable slots for topic-specific content, and distinct authors. There's no secret code to deciphering a commissioning editor's choices, but the best advice our East Silver delegates can agree upon is to liaison with a German independent co-production partner to better understand the formalities and tactics of funding, broadcast and distribution.
Producer Katariina Lillqvist of Camera Cagliostro established her company over 10 years ago and since then has produced 12 international co-operations in the fields of documentaries, animations and radio features. Her future plan is to build new partners from Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania and Germany, as well as from Russia and Canada. Lillqvist's interest in the East stems from her company's experience shooting a doc series about Roma communities which, she admits, was a troublesome experience when trying to co-produce with Czech TV – the biggest problem being the transparency of the projects and wages. On the positive side, Lillqvist congratulates the quality and historical traditions of the Czech film industry. According to her experience, working with animators, post-productions teams for sound and special effects, as well as archival resources was always an extremely rewarding collaboration.
Of the Eastern region, filmmaker Jari Kokko of Karlik Films has only co-produced with partners in St. Petersberg, Russia, with whom they currently have a couple of projects in the works, due their very reliable contacts. "Once we found the right partners, we had the opportunity and pleasure to work with highly motivated professionals," he says. "Anything is possible, once you find the right people." On the other hand, Kokko feels that many producers might consider a co-production with an Eastern company to be a one- way street, simply meaning that money goes into the East but nothing comes back.
Markku Niska's production company Navy Blue Bird is a relatively new company that has not yet co-produced with the Eastern region. His interest lies primarily in the Nordic countries, however, because of cultural and legal similarities, and due to the Nordic Film and Television Fund. If the co-producing benefits on both sides of the partnership are greater than the extra hassle that goes into co-producing, Nisku assures that he would be quite open to other countries outside his region.
The Finnish national film funds are AVEK (promotional center for audiovisual culture) and the Finnish Film Foundation, which aids the Media Help Desk. Regional art councils and cultural funds also provide minor supports, for example, the Central Commission of Arts and State Film Art Commission.
Nisku observes a recent increase in feature length documentaries that have been picked up by the major theatrical distributors in the country, such as Finnkino, FS Film (a quasi joint venture of Svensk Filmindustri and 20th Century Fox) and Sandrew Metronome, which also represents Warner Bros. Nordisk Film is also a big player in Finland, but unfortunately is not so eager on documentaries. As Nisku sees it, Finnish producers are recently feeling the pressure to achieve theatrical distribution for their films, which is naturally encouraged by the fact that an influx of digital cinemas are emerging, drastically lowering the print cost.
Local TV sales are handled directly between networks and the production companies, with no interference between distributors or sales agents. The Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE is the leading network in Finland; along with TV1, TV2, and the Swedish-speaking channel FST. In terms of local commercial channels, our Finnish producers heed a warning – such networks rarely have the interest to invest in serious documentaries and often loosely misuse the term 'documentary' in their programming.
For Eastern Europeans looking to Finland for co-productions, one must remember that such factors as dubbing and subject limitations are not to be considered a deal-breaker. In truth, Finnish commissioning editors and buyers seek pure quality, and that can be said of almost any country, east or west, that proposes an international co-production.

Would formadrol extreme be a choice pct for a 4 week 4 ad cycle?
Formadrol is the perfect PCT for anything. The only pct/AI that doesn't give me horrible fatigue. I dose it 3 a day for 20 days. I'll do 2 pre-workout and 1 10-12 hours later. The two tabs 1 hour pre-workout give great strength gains.
Agreed. Formadrol is a perfect addition to any PCT, and works wonders as the sole PCT product for mild compounds...So in your case, OP, yes, Formadrol would work well for you.
I'd recommend taking one dose either in the morning or pre-workout, and a second dose at night. Start with 3-4 and taper down. Make sure to take it with a somewhat fatty meal or shake.

Hey guys - I'm planning to run Formadrol Ex after my epi run. Does the same dosing apply after an epi cycle - 2am/2pm, tapered down weekly? I'm also unclear on what the AI in this product is (6-oxo, ATD?) My biggest concern is gyno, so let me know if I need to rethink this as a pct. Also, at what point in my pct should I start an herbal test booster?
