BIRMINGHAM, Ala.- A tip led authorities early Sunday to arrest a man suspected of robbing a Fairfield bank.
FBI spokesman Paul Daymond said 40-year-old Kerry Calhoun was arrested at 3 a.m. at a house in Birmingham.
He said Calhoun was arrested on outstanding warrants but will be charged Monday in the robbery of the AmSouth Bank in Fairfield.
Daymond declined to reveal details on the outstanding warrants.
The robbery happened Saturday. A man walked into the bank and presented a note to the teller and left with an undisclosed amount of money.
Daymond said money was not recovered and that part of the case is still being investigated.
The FBI's Violent Crimes Task Force and the Birmingham Police participated in the arrest.

My cucumber patch is bearing so abundantly I can hardly keep up. The good thing is I got enough today to make my husband's favorite pickles: Icicle. They're not hard to make, but take time, like 2 weeks worth. The first week you let the cucumber spears sit in a salt brine. That's what I'm doing right now. I'll keep you updated and share the recipe soon.

Arctic Sea Ice Extent on Aug. 26, 2012
This visualization shows the extent of Arctic sea ice on Aug. 26, 2012, compared to the average sea ice minimum from 1979 through 2010 shown in orange. The sea ice dipped to its smallest extent ever recorded in more than three decades, according to scientists from NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
WASHINGTON -- Calling global climate change a "life-threatening issue," Secretary of State nominee John Kerry said Thursday that the United States must play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.
Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, said at his confirmation hearing that the U.S. should pursue policies to boost clean energy and energy efficiency. In his state and others, such as California, "the fastest growing sector of our economy is clean energy," Kerry said. "It's a job creator."
Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has made climate change a central focus of his Senate career and led a failed effort in the Senate for a climate change bill in 2010.

Kerry told fellow senators he would be a "passionate advocate" on the issue if confirmed as secretary of state, "not based on ideology but based on facts, based on science. And I hope to sit with all of you and convince you that this $6 trillion (energy) market is worth millions of American jobs and leadership, and we better go after it."
Failing to deal with climate change was more of a risk than addressing it head-on, Kerry said, citing damage caused by Superstorm Sandy, drought and wildfires. Congress is expected to approve more $50 billion in disaster relief for Sandy victims alone. The storm pounded Northeastern states in late October and has been blamed for 140 deaths.
"If we can't see the downside of spending that money" as a short-term fix after a disaster "and risking lives for all the changes that are taking place - to agriculture, to our communities, the ocean and so forth, we're ignoring what science is telling us," Kerry said.
On a related issue, Kerry said he has made no decision about the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada. Environmental groups have been pressuring the Obama administration to reject the pipeline, saying it would carry "dirty oil" that contributes to global warming.
Kerry said a review process is well underway at the State Department. The department has jurisdiction over the pipeline because it crosses an international border.
"It will not be long before that comes across my desk," Kerry said. "And at that time, I'll make the appropriate judgments about it."

Complete Story
September 2013 OPA Extern Profile: Kahle Rummer
Name: Kahle Rummer
E-mail: email@example.com
Pharmacy School: University of Findlay
Undergraduate degree/institution: N/A (0-6 degree)
Rotation Month at OPA: September 2013
How did you get interested in the profession of pharmacy?
I always had an interest in science and math and I wanted a career in healthcare that didn't involve 10+ years of education. Pharmacy became that hybrid model of patient care and applied science that fit best.
Why did you choose OPA as a rotation site?
I chose OPA for the opportunities to network, speak with legislators, explore career options, and become more familiar with the issues pharmacists need to be aware of.
What was the most significant or surprising experience at OPA?
The most significant experience at OPA was the networking opportunities that presented to me and the contacts that I established for my future career. Meeting with legislators, special interest groups, and independent owners was an experience I could not get on any other rotation.
What other pharmacy associations/organizations do you belong to?
APhA-ASP, OPA
Training and competing in half marathons and triathalons, watching movies with friends, and being with my girlfriend.

Craig LaBan sees promise in Jane Gs transformation from being a front for one big, dull, pan-Asian fusion cliché to breathing Sichuan fire with bold takes on authentic ethnic flavors. A whole tilapia in hot bean paste, one of the best whole-fish dishes in the city; exceptional duck completely infused with layers of flavor from a Shaoxing wine marinade, a dry rub of star anise, clove and jasmine tea, and the sweet smoke of pine wood; and impossible to resist spice-crusted, and flash-fried beef jerky earn the restaurant a two bell ranking. [Inquirer]
Decoding the Brooklyn Style descriptor attached to several different plates on the menu at Aldo Lambertis Italyani befuddles Adam Erace, but enjoys the panko-breaded shrimp thats labeled as such at the Lumberton newcomer. Prices are reasonable, and the complimentary salads are a better starter than the rubbery fried calamari tossed with electric cherry peppers. Spaghetti tutto mare, overflowing with shrimp, clams and mussels, was a good, if not terribly original, version of a dish you can get at any Italian restaurant in the area. [Courier-Post]

Almost 25 years after the original release of Abel Ferrara's cranium-boring horror show, The Driller Killer's become something of an innocuous art film. Once reviled as the nastiest of the Video Nasties - a misconception aroused by the lurid video sleeve depicting a wino/Black&Deckerinterface - it's surprisingly lacking in gore. Instead it's a rambling attack on the dog-eat-dog world of late-'70s New York, as a stressed artist goes bonkers when he can't get any peace and quiet. (The power-drilling maniac is credited as `Jimmy Laine' but is actually played by Ferrara himself.)
This isn't your average slasher flick - and not just because drunks and hobos provide the fodder in place of nubile teens. Obsessed with urban alienation and styling his anti-hero as a mixed-up lonesome cowboy, Ferrara turns in a serious and depressing guerrilla movie. Drilling and killing take second place to the helmer's anger at social injustice. Thrill seekers will be disappointed.

The Cosmen family first entered the transport industry, a horse-and-carriage operation, in 1728, in the northern Spanish province of Asturias. The family sold its Madrid-based bus company Alsa to National Express in 2005, but still has ambitions to be a key player in the industry. In addition to the 18.5% stake it owns in National Express, the family is one of the biggest private bus operators in China and has a number of bus companies in South America. Other business interests include car sales and hotels. The Cosmens are publicity-shy. Jorge Cosmen, 40, runs Alsa and has five brothers and two sisters involved in different parts of the family empire.

Yeah, somehow I don't think Native Americans are too happy with our government's overwhelming generosity toward them. Not 100% sure, but it's a pretty educated guess.
(via stfuconservatives)
Someday, I'll get sick of that joke. Probably not any time soon, though.
Check this out, from the International Herald Tribune:
Hirsch answered his original question – the subjects' fat cells had shrunk and were now normal in size. And everyone, including Hirsch, assumed that the subjects would leave the hospital permanently thinner.
That did not happen. Instead, Hirsch says, "they all regained." He was horrified. The study subjects certainly wanted to be thin, so what went wrong? Maybe, he thought, they had some deep-seated psychological need to be fat.
So Hirsch and his colleagues, including Rudolph Leibel, who is now at Columbia University, repeated the experiment and repeated it again. Every time the result was the same.The weight, so painstakingly lost, came right back. But since this was a research study, the investigators were also measuring metabolic changes, psychiatric conditions, body temperature and pulse. And that led them to a surprising conclusion: fat people who lost large amounts of weight might look like someone who was never fat, but they were very different. In fact, by every metabolic measurement, they seemed like people who were starving.
The Rockefeller researchers explained their observations in one of their papers: "It is entirely possible that weight reduction, instead of resulting in a normal state for obese patients, results in an abnormal state resembling that of starved nonobese individuals."
Emphasis mine.
Kolata goes on to discuss a later study that demonstrated it was just as hard togain a significant amount of weight and keep it on. Male prisoners agreed to do this weight-gain experiment, and it turned out they had to eat a ridiculous amount of food–literally up to 10,000 calories a day–to increase their weight by 20-25 percent. Once they did that, their metabolisms went apeshit trying to get them back down to their normal weights. As soon as the study was over, the weight fell off.
It's almost like everybody's got a weight range their body will do damn nearanything to stay within.
And it's almost like that weight range is determined by genes or something.
Huh. Weird. Who could have seen that coming?
Go read the whole thing, and then go buy Kolata's book.

You totally suck for not answering your door.
I don't care if you weren't home or if you needed your silly "sleep". What is this "sleep" you speak of? I thought you were supposed to use magic or something to stay awake forever.
You are now officially a terrible person, and I hope you die a gruesome death. You suck.

Give the man some props for where they're due. Genius or not, he still got ALS and I imagine wanted to kill himself on more than one occasion because of it. He's not being a total *** about suicide; he is saying a person can do it and has every right to do it and deserves no condemnation for doing it, but that he personally believes that they should remain optimistic because they might still attain great things with their lives or that things might turn around for the better. In many cases, this isn't true. And in many cases, it is.

I think I do :(
How does disfiguring your arm with knives make you feel better? I've never grasped the concept of "oh shit, my life sucks. Let's make it better by cutting my arm open!" I'm sorry, anyone who's self harmed before, but really, what thought process makes that seem logical? That's like saying, "oh damn my car is really old. Let's smash in the windows and see if it makes it newer." Like, seriously?
I guess you gotta go through it to understand.
The easiest way to explain it is this: physical pain is a good distraction from emotional instability. When the emotional pain becomes great enough, any kind of distraction becomes a good way to get out of there, anything. For people who don't think they can trust others, or don't want to bother others, or who hate themselves, or for whatever reason, that pain is EXTREMELY big.
Now I've never cut myself, but I've clawed at my head to distract myself. I've banged my head against walls trying to make myself think of the physical and get myself out of the emotional stupor. It works, unfortunately. Sort of. It doesn't really 'solve' the pain so much as it delays it, which is really the only point.
It is like a person in physical pain who talks with others in order to stop focusing on just how much it hurts. This is the same, just the other way around.
I am not really okay. I don't feel like going to school tomorrow actually. Heck, lately, I just haven't really felt like going to school lately. And I'm not sure exactly why.
Am I learning more emotions lately so I've been able to feel laziness or stress more?
Is it because it's happened too many times and I've gotten too used to it?
Do I feel like I learn more at home than I do at school?
Have the emotional situations lately just been that draining to deal with?
A combo of all these?
I really don't know. It's unfortunate then that I've missed too many days and cannot miss another right now. This is extremely disconcerting.
I have finished venting about Normal People (TM). Woo hoo.
Now back to more important matters… like homework…
The U.S. and the entire world continues to be outraged by the appalling violence against the Libyan people. Muammar el-Qaddafi has lost the legitimacy to lead, and he must leave.
We will continue to send a clear message. The violence must stop."—President BARACK OBAMA, who authorized military airlifts to help return refugees to their countries in the region and has ordered the Pentagon to "prepare for a full range of possible military options in connection with the crisis in Libya," according to the New York Times. President Obama also warned those working on Qaddafi's behalf that they "will be held accountable" for violence perpetrated against the Libyan people. (via inothernews)

Behavioral Treatments for Urge Incontinence continued...
With bladder training, you "stretch out" the intervals at which you go to the bathroom. You do this by waiting a little longer before you go. For instance, to start, you can plan to go to the bathroom once an hour. You follow this pattern for a period of time, and then you change the schedule so that you are going to the bathroom every 90 minutes. Then eventually, you lengthen the interval to every two hours, and so on, until you are up to three or four hours between bathroom visits.
- Kegel exercises: Kegel exercises, also called pelvic floor exercises, help strengthen the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowels. By strengthening these muscles, you can reduce or prevent problems such as leaking urine.
To do Kegel exercises, pretend you are trying to stop the flow of urine or trying not to pass gas. When you do this, you are contracting the muscles of the pelvic floor. While doing these exercises, try not to move your leg, buttock, or abdominal muscles. In fact, no one should be able to tell that you are doing Kegel exercises.
Kegel exercises should be done every day, five sets a day. Each time you contract the muscles of the pelvic floor, hold for a slow count of five and then relax. Repeat this 10 times for one set of Kegels.
- Weighted cones: Another technique that can strengthen the pelvis and bladder muscles is the use of weighted cones. You insert the tampon-shaped cone into the vagina and hold it there by contracting your pelvic muscles. As you do this exercise and these muscles strengthen, the weight of the cone is gradually increased. This will improve your ability to hold urine until you get to a bathroom.
Other behavioral tips for preventing urge incontinence include:
- going to the bathroom on a regular basis, especially before physical activity
- avoiding drinking caffeine or a lot of fluids before activities
- not drinking any fluids right before you go to bed
- avoiding lifting heavy objects
Medical and Surgical Treatments for Urge Incontinence
If behavioral modifications such as timed voiding and bladder training do not improve the symptoms of urge incontinence, your doctor may decide to try various medical or surgical treatments. These methods have the same goal -- relief of the symptoms and inconvenience of urge incontinence.
Medical treatments for urge incontinence include:
- Medications: There are several medications that are used to treat urge incontinence. They include:
Darifenacin (Enablex)
Fesoterodine (Toviaz)
Mirabegron (Myrbetriq)
Oxybutynin (Ditropan, Ditropan XL, Gelnique, Oxytrol)
Solifenacin (Vesicare)
Tolterodine (Detrol, Detrol LA)
Trospium (Sanctura)
Oxytrol for women is the only drug available over the counter.
Your health care provider may also recommend other medications that may help control bladder spasms. They include hyoscyamine (Anaspaz, Cystospaz, Hyosol, Hyospaz, Levbid, Levsin) or dicyclomine (Antispas, Bentyl, Byclomine, Di-Spaz, Dibent, Or-Tyl, Spasmoject).

Yoga Poses
I can't believe I finally did it!!! I did the crow and tripod. I've been dreaming of making it for years but my arms were just too weak to do it then. After numerous times of practicing (really… falling) I made it to holding the poses for more than 5 seconds. Next step… Headstand. 😳
Late workout date
When everyone is going to sleep at 10pm, the bf and I are working out. We finally signed up for the Calgary half-Marathon on June 1st so there is no turning back. MUST WORK OUR ASSES OFF since we only have about a month left. My goal this year is to beat my time from last year (2:04:40) and get less than 2 hours if possible (*freaking out*). I seriously have no idea how busy May will be for me since I'm starting my second clinical and finishing two courses on top of that, I will need some serious schedule arrangement. Also I need to keep motivating myself so excuse the day-to-day post as it's the only way I can motivate myself and maybe motivate others.
ABSolutely sure
I want this! I joined the bf for his workout tonight after feeling so guilty for eating $10 worth of bulk chocolate covered almonds. Time to reassess my diet and start thinking of longer goals if I want to be healthy.
Good morning
Rise and run! I forgot how relaxing running feels in the morning, I should do it often. I finished 6.25 miles in 60:14 and considering I didn't have breakfast and even water before my run, I did extremely well. I don't recommend it though, I still like my pre-run meal and water which gives me that extra umph. This Friday is going to be great! Looking forward to doing hot yoga tonight. But for now, it's time to clean the house and maybe do the laundry :) Maybe I should turn up the music and turn this dreadful house chores into dancing workout… yeah!
Happy Good Friday!
I workout because…
I sure do eat a lot. I missed my workout yesterday since I came home from work exhausted and went straight to bed. I workout double today, I did my crossfit this morning and just finished hill and strength training now. Yup, good excuse to eat that chocolate covered almonds for snacks.
Ps: last workday tomorrow then long weekend… You know what it means??? Food! Lol. Must do that 16km, hope that sun shines.
I Got one more month before my first half-marathon race. I'm training good but not hard enough to get where I want to be. Time to re-motivate myself.
Now I know I can do 15… Time to get ready for 18, then 21. Oh the time is coming fast.
8 week Half-marathon beginner's training plan
Photo: fitness magazine via Pinterest
Day 1
I have come to a decision, I'll be doing the half-marathon but I won't sign up till close to the race. I found an 8-week beginner's guide from pinterest that looks doable so I'll be doing that. Also, I'll add more strength training, hill climb, and intervals after which is another 4 weeks before the race.
Today was rest day, but I decided to do a 50min Cardio and 10min abd workout instead. I figured since I've been idle last weekend that I need to booze myself somehow. Sort of like, a big baby step.
This is it! No more excuses! This is the body I want. No, no, no… This is the body I NEED! I may be juggling work and school in a fast pace for the the next couple of years but that doesn't mean I have to neglect myself to become stronger, right? I know I'm right! I owe it to myself. So here's my workout challenge: I will fight to get stronger and better body. I will work hard for it. I will put the same hardwork as I put into my work and school.

town crier (n.)↕
A town crier, or bellman, is an officer of the court who makes public pronouncements as required by the court (cf. Black's Law Dictionary). The crier can also be used to make public announcements in the streets. Criers often dress elaborately, by a tradition dating to the 18th century, in a red and gold robe, white breeches, black boots and a tricorne hat.
They carry a handbell to attract people's attention, as they shout the words "Oyez, Oyez, Oyez!" before making their announcements. The word "Oyez" means "hear ye," which is a call for silence and attention. Oyez derives from the Anglo-Norman word for listen. The proclamations book in Chester from the early 19th century records this as O Yes, O Yes!
In order to gain the attention of the crowd, the crier would yell, "Hear ye" - "Oyez".
In Medieval England, town criers were the chief means of news communication with the townspeople, since many were illiterate in a period before the moveable type was invented. Royal proclamations, local bylaws, market days, adverts, even selling loaves of sugar were all proclaimed by a bellman or crier throughout the centuries—at Christmas 1798, the Chester Canal Co. sold some sugar damaged in their packet boat and this was to be advertised by the bellman.
Chester records of 1540 show fees due to the bellman included 'of every worshipful gentyllman that goyth onye gounes at ther buryall ...one goune [at funerals gowns would be given to mourners]. when he gythe or aneything that is lost ...jd [one penny]. for every bote lode with powder mellwylle [salted fish] ...one fyshe, for every boute lode with fresh fyshe that he goeth for ...jd [one penny].' In 1556 a record shows 'To ye belman for p'claimyng ye Founder's dyryge 27 Januarij ...ijd [two pence on Henry VIII's death, the founder of the King's School].
A 1701 will of the vicar at Waverton stated that notice was to be given 'by the Belman to the People of Chester, of the time when, and the place where my Corpse is to be buried'
In 1620, there was a fight at the Chester cross between the butchers and the bakers where the 'Cryer brake his Mace in peeces Amonge them'. In 1607, one public notice read by George Tunnall, the bellman, forbade tipping rubbish in the river. In 1715, a local man recorded that the 'Belman at the Cross ... Reads publicly a proclamation in the Mayor's name, commanding all persons in the City to be of peaceable and civil behaviour, not to walk around the Streets or Rows at unreasonable hours of night'. Chester once had a crier, a day bellman and a night bellman but in 1734, John Posnitt took over as 'Day and Night Bellman'.
Salmon fishing season was also closed by the bellman, four newspaper articles of the late 18th century refer to this practice:
Courant 17 April 1792 A few days ago some persons were brought before our magistrates, charged with angling and catching salmon fry in the River Dee, As the law expressly forbids the young salmon to be taken, either with nets or other engines, the bellman had orders to give notice to the inhabitants, that prosecutions would be commenced against any persons offending in the like manner.
Courant 8 September 1852 Close of the Dee Salmon Fishery THE 'fence time' for taking salmon in the Dee was 'called' according to custom on Wednesday last, the 1st September. It is now unlawful to take salmon in the river by any means whatsoever. Fishermen and dealers, therefore, will not fail to remember that a heavy penalty now attaches to the taking of salmon.
Chronicle 29 March 1862 The Dee Salmon Fishery FISHING commences in March, and the close season on the 1st September, but little attention has been paid to the latter, except in the immediate vicinity of Chester, where the [fisher]men were exposed to the observation of the Dee [Salmon Conservanct]Association. When the bellman was sent by that body to the fishing villages in the neighbourhood to cry the close season, the fishermen dropped down with the tide [as far as the Estuary], and set to work again, beyond the sound of the bell and the surveillance of the association.
Handbridge was one of these fishing villages of course:
Chronicle 12 December 1845 Illegal Fishing ON Saturday last, four fishermen, named William Gibson, William Hand, Robert Barlow, and William Banks, appeared at Chester Police Court, to answer an information preferred against them by Buckley, the constable appointed by the River Dee Conservancy, for being out night fishing with illegal nets (less than 2 1/2 inches in the mesh), and also for taking unsizeable fish, The information was laid under the 1st George 1. c. 18, s.4. Immediately upon being placedbefore the Bench, a somewhat noisy colloquy commenced between the Supt. of Police, the court and the defendants; the latter stoutly denying that to use small nets would be to ensure the escape of all other fish. On being told that at this season of the year they could catch nothing but salmon, Barlow stated that the other night they had caught nine shillings worth of flukes, and we have good authority for saying that this statement was correct. Gibson, striking his fist on the table, solemnly swore that, " he had not killed a salmon since they were cried down {emphasis added} and another affirmed that it would be no use killing them. as "they were not fit for pigs, much less Christians." After a long debate between the Court and the defendants, in which the latter seemed strongly disposed to try elsewhere the right of the Magistrates to prevent them fishing with nets of any size, providing they took no salmon, a reluctant promise was wrung from them, that they would not offend in a similar way in the future and they were discharged.
The Chester Chronicle of 9th August 1793 records a cry from the Cheshire town of Northwich: 'A town-crier of Northwich (one of the fair-sex, who has filled that office audibly and laudably more than 20 years) lately proclaim'd as follows:- "This is to gi' notice that there's two pigs lost an hooaver brings um to me shall be well rewarded for ther truble, so God save the King an' the Lord of our Manner - ton's a red on, and t' other's a black on."'
The term "Posting A Notice" comes from the act of the town crier, who having read his message to the townspeople, would attach it to the door post of the local inn. Some newspapers took the name "The Post" for this reason.
Town criers were protected by law, as they sometimes brought bad news such as tax increases. Anything done by the town crier was done in the name of the ruling monarch and harming a town crier was considered to be treason.[1] The phrase "don't shoot the messenger" was a real command.[1]
There is a body of town criers called the Loyal Company of Town Criers. This is a group of like minded men and women who are proud to represent their towns/cities/villages as the town crier/bellman. Any 'official' town crier can apply to join, and they perform the art of town crying at competitions around the United Kingdom all year round.
As in England, town criers were the means of communication with the people of the town since many people could not read or write. Proclamations, local bylaws, market days, adverts, were all proclaimed by a bellman or crier.
Criers were not always men, many town criers were women. Bells were not the only attention getting device - in Holland, a gong was the instrument of choice for many, and in France a drum was used, or a hunting horn.
The office of town crier persisted into the early 20th century in some places. At least as recently as 1904, Los Angeles and several adjacent towns had official town criers.[2] Even to the current day, the village of Mariemont located within Cincinnati still employs a town crier].
When need for a town crier disappeared, the position passed into local folklore. Informal and later formal town crier competitions were held from the late 20th century. Subsequently some cities and towns reinstated the post purely for ceremonial purposes.
Many local councils in England and Wales reinstated the post of town crier from the mid 1990s onwards (e.g. Chester).[3] Many are honorary appointments or employed part time by the council. As of October 2010, there were 144 towns in England and Wales with town criers registered with the Ancient and Honourable Guild of Town Criers.[4] They mainly perform ceremonial duties at civic functions. Local councils with a paid town crier often make them available for charity events.
In some cases, such as in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, the town crier is also the Tipstaff.[5]
There are several town crier guilds in both Canada and the United States. Theses include the Ontario Guild of Town Criers, the Nova Scotia Criers' Guild and the American Guild of Town Criers.[6][7][8]Since 1981, The Rocky Mountain Town Crier, presently based out of Calgary Alberta CANADA, has represented Invermere, British Columbia at Buckingham Palace & the Mansion House & the House of Commons in London England. Nelson Phillips, the Rocky Mountain Town Crier has been Proclaimed the Honourary Town Crier of Banff, Scotland, Calgary, Scotland, & Airdrie, Scotland. He visited these 3 locations and read Proclamations from the Mayors or Government Officials, of the communities with the same name, in Alberta CANADA. In competition, Nelson has placed 2nd @ Lytham St. Anne, for best shout and 3rd @ Kingsbridge Devon, for best dressed. On November 7, 1984, The Rocky Mountain Town Crier was made a member of Calgary's "Walkway of Fame" when he read Proclamations from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney & Mayor Ralph Klein acknowledging the 100 Anniversary of Calgary Alberta as a Town. Nelson's footprints and Hand prints were placed in cement.
As of October 2010, the City of Sydney, City of Hobart, City of Greater Geelong, City of Portland, City of Ipswich, City of Gosford, City of Salisbury, Gold Coast City and 22 other local councils have an official town crier.[9]
As of October 2010, 15 cities have an official town crier.[1]
European, Canadian, American. North American and Australian championships are held in alternating years with the World Championships. The current world champion is Chris Whyman, the town crier of Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
The best dressed town crier at the World Championships in 2008 was Daniel Richer dit La Flêche representing the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau, in Canada.[12] He also won the titles of Best Dressed International Town Crier at the Bermuda competition in 2009 and Best Dressed in North America.The Best Dressed Couple were Peter and Maureen Taunton[13] from the county town of Stafford, England. They also won the title of Best Dressed Town Criers in Britain in 2008 at the Alnwick competition for the Loyal Company of Town Criers. They had been chosen the Best Dressed Criers at the National Town Crier Competition in Hastings in 2007. Richard Riddell of Anacortes, WA, USA, the current American Champion(2008) as well as winner of the Bermuda International Town Crier Competition(2009) was awarded Best Dressed as well as tied for First Runner-up at the Chester, England World Tournament(2010).
Peter Moore, the London Town Crier,[14][15] held the position for more than 30 years. He was Town Crier to the Mayor of London[clarification needed], the City of Westminster, and London boroughs, and was also a Freeman and Liveryman of The City of London. He died on 20 December 2009[14] and is yet to be succeeded.
Alan Myatt holds two Guinness World Records. As well as being the loudest crier, recording a cry of 112.8 decibels, he also set the record for vocal endurance, issuing a one-hundred word proclamation every 15 minutes for a period of 48 hours.
Daniel Richer dit La Flêche, who is a member of the First Nations Abenaki tribe, is a full-time bilingual town crier.[12] Lloyd Smith, town crier for Windsor, Nova Scotia is the senior town crier in North America, with 31 years of service to his communities.
Eliza Mowe, Town Cryer for Barnoldswick, Lancashire became the first female European town crying champion in 2007, retaining her title in the following year.
Martin Wood from the medieval town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire currently holds the record for being the worlds tallest Town Crier, standing at 7 ft 2 in (2.18 m) He has been the Town Crier for 25 years and is the official body double for the character of Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies. He also appeared as the body double for the late Edward Woodward in the 1984 movie, A Christmas Carol, also set on location in the town of Shrewsbury.
Currently Haslemere in Surrey is hosting the newest competition for Town Criers. The competition will be held on Bank holiday Monday the 7th May 2012 and Criers will compete for the Tennyson Trophy.
for 266 years now in his 13th Year

I hope the slayer fans destroyed the Goth-fag-nerd fans of Marilyn Manson and Bullet... I couldn't make it to this show but I hope it was a bloodbath.
I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...
Slayer pulls no punches and brings hard, fast metal like no one else. They've consistently brought it with every album and live show. They're unstoppable. If you don't like music with energy and anger behind it, go listen to top 40 and rap and get out of my face.

Somewhere in town, there's a bartender just waiting to mix your new favourite cocktail. Time Out Beirut shows you where to find it.
The Anaconda
Human beings are by nature attracted to things that are bad for them. This goes to explain the god-awful 1997 horror film Anaconda, for example. Or deciding to add a splash of Toulouse Lautrec's favourite green fairy, Absinthe, to the Liquid Cocaine shot. Or, in fact, drinking it. This toxic treat is served at Moloko – enjoy. LL8,000. Moloko Pub (03 289707) Monot Str, Achrafieh.
Presidente Margarita
A light and pleasant twist on the classic with brandy to boot. If you're looking to make a night of it, this margarita bar has countless variations to keep things interesting. LL16,400. Chili's (01 571157) Gouraud Str, Gemmayzeh.
Real lime juice and a tequila brand-blend make for a classic Margarita; a drink that's bracingly refreshing, both sweet and tart with a bite from the salted rim. LL15,000. Joe Pena's (01 449906) Hnneine Bldg, Boutros Dagher Str, Gemmayzeh.
Piña Dream
Fresh fruit and the scent of coconut will coax your senses out of hibernation. A sweet and sour delight with a teasing hint of rum, this drink's citrus element provides a balanced finish. Fly (03 030340) 6th Floor, Virgin Megastore, Al Shouhada Str, Downtown.
Espresso Martini
The taste of coffee is subtle yet still present as espresso infuses smoothly with the vodka. Straightforward and revitalising, this treat can be enjoyed in the afternoon or any hour of the night. LL25,000. Bar ThreeSixty (01 962888) Le Gray Hotel, Martyrs' Sq, Downtown.
Thick chocolate syrup melting into a refined cocktail make this a dessert for adults. The creamy texture isn't overbearing, with a gentle kick of mild caffeine and rum. We reckon you'll be ordering a second round. LL13,000. 37° Bar and Grill (01 203215) Monot Main Alley, Monot, Achrafieh.
French 75
The 75-millimeter M1897, a light, potent little gun with a vicious rate of fire, was the mainstay of the French field artillery in World War II. Me, I am the throttling liquid version. I am the heavy artillery, the bullet that shoots straight through your bloodstream. The product of the ramblings of French jet fighter Raoul Lufbery, I'm a war-child; the shell of cognac, champagne, lemon juice and sugar. Don't even think of adulterating my spunk with Cointreau or the like. Of all the many champagne-and-liquor combinations known to contemporary mixology, I am the master of élan. Two of me, and you'll be fighting to defend Madonna's honour (or at least the dodgy lookalike at the end of the bar). Reservoir Beirut (01 801411) Chinese Restaurant Bldg, Farid Trad Str, Verdun.
Tom Collins
'Have you seen Tom Collins?'. I am the 1874 hoax that swept the streets and pubs of Pennsylvania and New York. I am the scoundrel at the bar across the street that was bad mouthing you and your family. Just the thought of me gets you wild. If you're in on the scam, you know who I am. Even newspapers wanted a piece of the fun. I'm the ghost you chase down, making room at the bar for your swindler. Today, I am a cocktail of gin, lemon juice, very fine sugar, and carbonated water garnished with a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry. Shake me, strain me, chug me down and numb your nerves for the moment when the sap comes back with no head for BS and punches you straight in the mouth. Plum Bar (01 326484, 70 907274) 83 Monot Str, Monot.
Cucumber and Mint Martini
This strong, crisp drink is arguably the martini version of a facial: mint and cucumber are both widely known for their antitoxins and nutritional value. We can't vouch for the gin, however, but Hendrick's' extra cucumber and rose petals make it one of the best brands around. Great for green-fingers who fancy an alcoholic extension to their environmental inklings. LL17,000. The Greedy Goose (01 337883) Monot Str, Monot.
Porcish Hole
A dollop of bacon fat inside your drink might sound nasty but fear not. Invented by Rabbit Hole's own Ralph Malak, the fat is actually infused within the pure malt, and contains plenty of natural endorphins (the 'feel-good' hormone). Tastes smoky, spicy and fruity, with a smooth basil aftertaste. LL15,000. Rabbit Hole (03 803912) Makdissi St, Hamra.

An excellent international resource for the laboratory equipment industry.
Device Creates Real-Time Maps to Guide Emergency RespondersMIT researchers have built a wearable sensor system that automatically creates a digital map of the environment through which the wearer is moving. The prototype system, described in a paper slated for the Intelligent Robots and Systems conference in Portugal next month, is envisioned as a tool to help emergency responders coordinate disaster response.In experiments conducted on the MIT campus, a graduate student wearing the sensor system wandered the halls, and the sensors wirelessly relayed data to a laptop in a distant conference room. Observers in the conference room were able to track the student's progress on a map that sprang into being as he moved.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/videos/2012/09/device-creates-real-time-maps-guide-emergency-responders

The finale of our Marvel Movie Rankings is finally here, and this last section is full of some of the best superhero films ever made.
We've moved our way through the modern Marvel movies, and have examined some truly terrible films, but finally we have the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the cliche of all cliches. Marvel Studios features heavily in this last section of the list, but Fox and Sony hold their own with their tentpole Marvel franchises as well. It's also interesting to note that a couple of the best entries in this finale are the most recent films we've seen released, which makes us hope that the future of Marvel films will continue to get better and better.
You can check out the previous Marvel Movie Rankings, or jump right into the best of them!
6. X2: X-Men United (2003)
X2 single handedly sold x-fans on the idea that Bryan Singer was made for this mantle. It may not have been the perfect X-film, but it's packed with more than enough to make your innards burst. The introduction of Nightcrawler is arguably one of the most thrilling and well executed fight scenes in comic book film history. Couple that with the multi-tornado Storm X-Jet chase, and the Lady Deathstrike/Wolverine beatdown, and you've got a top tier mutant flick vying for comic book movie glory. Action and mutant powers aside, the story holds its own as we see a God Love, Man Kills adaptation, with William Stryker as the movie's main antagonist.
This is also the first time we see Magneto and his brotherhood align with the X-Men for a common cause on-screen, and the results are hilariously effective. The scene where Magneto cooes "I love what you've done to your hair" to Rogue is brilliant. Singer effectively displays what it means to be an X-Man, compliments of Iceman's "coming out" scene with his parents. But this may be the first time in the X-franchise where we see these characters as fleshed out as their comic book counterparts. A tormented Wolverine searching for answers, a quirky one-liner Kurt Wagner, and an evolutionary Jean. All who had necessary respective parts in the film building on what we love about the comics and the 90′s animated series – a big ol' gang of mutants simply trying to save the world. - A. Reese
5. Spider-Man 2 (2004)
While the movies below might poke holes in this proclamation, I believe that Spider-Man 2 is the quintessential comic book movie. It's damn near perfect in execution on how to satisfy both the comic book lovers and the casual moviegoer. Getting to the core of what makes Spider-Man so appealing to everyone – his vulnerability and everyman saga – Sam Raimi makes sure nothing is neglected in terms of story, pacing and character for this superior sequel. He also manages to create one of the coolest reveals of a villain wreaking havoc in the Doc Ock surgery scene that plays like a horror film (of course, the obligatory nod to the Evil Dead with the chainsaw bit helps too).
That scene, along with others, shows the mastery of Sam Raimi in the first and second Spider-Man movies. His ability to weave in and out of action set pieces, emotional scenes, comedy bits and other genres seamlessly makes for one damn enjoyable movie. Tobey Maguire worked perfectly as Peter Parker struggled to juggle his superhero life with his personal life. Watching his search to find his identity and rise to the challenge in the end provided a great character arc. Alfred Molina as Doc Ock was also terrific, as he navigates the silliness of communicating with metallic arms with a steely determination to succeed in his city wrecking experiment without being cheesy or comical. The train sequence will go down as one of my favorite comic book action set pieces of all time, even if this started the awful trend of Spidey's constant unmasking in the rest of this movie. Regardless, Spider-Man 2 is not only ranked highly on this list, but earned a place in the comic book movie hall of fame as well. - C. Tansuche
4. Iron Man (2008)
With many superhero movies, all you get is the surface of the illusion, but Iron Man was the first entry in the MCU to delve a little deeper. Under the eye of producer Kevin Feige, this was the first in a long-line of Avengers-related films. With strong and energetic direction from Jon Favreau and incredible chemistry between Downey, Paltrow and Bridges, this was a movie that had relationships, not 'motions – a film that felt fully-realized, lived-in, and resilient enough to last an entire movie rather than a collection of moments.
What can be said about the now iconic partnership of character and actor? Robert Downey Jr. merged the cocky, playboy nature of the comic-book character and amalgamated his own sardonic persona so successfully it's almost impossible to think of one without the other. The great Jeff Bridges brought a weight and severity to Obadiah Stane but balanced the heart and drive of the jealous father-figure. Couple a solid script written by four, count 'em, four different writers (a red-flag for any other live-action film), with spectacular CG effects from ILM, and you easily have one of the best Marvel films to date. One which laid the groundwork to an all-encompassing MCU franchise that dominates our screens around the world. - M. Corner
3. X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
After the box office success known as X-Men: First Class, fanboys were ready to accept prodigal son Bryan Singer (who produced First Class) back into the franchise with open arms – which meant the reintroduction of the original franchise cast back on the big screen. There's several things to marvel at with the X-prequel/post trilogy installment, mainly being the amount of clever retcon used to heal the wounds of the X-franchise (We'll never forget Ratner, never) bringing the franchise to what some would consider its most paramount place in the canon.
Days of Future Past truly embodies the spirit of the X-Men, even more than X2. It's the perfect culmination of humor, action and a grounded emotional core. In short, DoFP was a roller coaster we never wanted to stop. The Sentinels proved their worth as epic adversaries causing action induced panic attacks for fear of our heroes getting annihilated. The upside to having such an unstoppable opponent around was seeing how well the future team worked together. Blink opening up a portal to transport Iceman and his cool ice slide, or Storm and Sunspot serving as energy sources for a gun-wielding Bishop. This is what fanboys live to see. Quicksilver was the pleasant dark horse of the film, offering one of the most light hearted, and mind blowing action sequences in the entire franchise, compliments of highly underestimated Evan Peters. And yet one of the most profound highlights of the film was the emotional depth of Xavier, Magneto and Mystique, adding visceral and realistic vantage points to characters we thought we were familiar with. We're still on an X-high from this one, and things can only go up with the next installment, X- Men:Apocalypse. - A. Reese
2. The Avengers (2012)
The Avengers deserves a spot on this list even before looking critically at the movie itself: From all angles, it should never have reached production. A team-up movie of this scale had never been done before, and films with much smaller ensemble casts have fallen apart due to clashing egos, but somehow all the stars aligned to allow four separate movie franchises to successfully bridge together into something spectacular. It's only more impressive that director Joss Whedon was able to take Marvel Studios' technical achievement and turn it into a wildly enjoyable blockbuster. How do you raise the stakes on a series of movies that has threatened the destruction of major cities and/or the entire planet time and time again? The answer is not necessarily with a more iconic villain or a larger threat – All you need is a deft hand at storytelling.
Whedon is one of the industry's best at writing characters, and here he manages to take established ones and breathe new life into them. Tony Stark's penchant for winking mischief is brought up to eleven, Captain America's fish out of water status is both funny and touching, and in a movie that offers very little screen time, we found the best interpretation of Bruce Banner/Hulk in recent years. Leave it to one of the biggest and most expensive superhero movies of all time to make explosive action take a backseat to five characters eating shawarma in silence. The Avengers needed to convince audiences not only that they could maintain an expansive cinematic universe that grows and merges in on itself year after year, but also that all characters within that world, big or small, would have a part to play. In 2012 it achieved all that and more, with one of our favorite Marvel movies, period. - D. Woizinski
1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
The most recent Marvel Studios film stands out from the rest of the list for a number of reasons. The Winter Soldier not only brought a wonderfully interesting adaptation of a fan favorite run by Ed Brubaker to the big screen, it provided one of the most complete movie-going experiences we've seen in theaters in a while. The taut political thriller was full of well-paced action that meshed expertly within the film's superhero sensibilities, while effectively changing the face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the foreseeable future. Of course, this movie would never have worked without the talent behind the characters.
Chris Evans delivered his best Steve Rogers to date, and his interactions with Sebastian Stan as Bucky/Winter Soldier drive the emotional core of the film. New additions to the franchise include Anthony Mackie's enjoyable debut as the Falcon, and Robert Redford's screen stealing presence as Agent Pearce only add to a film which could have easily become polluted with too many characters, especially with the return of longtime MCU characters Black Widow and Nick Fury. A number of fantastically integrated villains, a compelling story and standout performances makes Captain America: The Winter Soldier not only the best film of the MCU, but of the entire Marvel Movie catalog. – S. Fraser

In 1993 the Neoist Alliance protested Ian Stuart's performance of Karlheinz Stockhausen's Harlequin, promising to levitate the Pavilion Theatre 25 feet off the ground. Thee Temple Ov Psychic Youth (TOPY), however, lead a counter protest to stop the levitation, concerned that the levitation could create "a negative vortex would be created which could seriously damage the ozone layer."
As the handful of individuals who'd decided to cross the picket line arrived for the concert, they were met with chants of 'Boycott Stockhausen' from our ranks, to which the TOPY activists replied with cries of 'Stop The Levitation'. The counter-demonstrators pleaded with concert-goers to remain outside the building so that they could participate in a set of breathing and visualisation exercises designed to prevent the levitation. Once the concert began, the two sets of demonstrators prepared themselves for a psychic battle outside the theatre. These street actions drew a far larger crowd than the Ian Stuart recital inside the building. Passers-by were reluctant to step in front of the waves of psychic energy we were generating and soon much of the street was at a standstill. The Brighton and Hove Leader of 20/5/93 quoted one shaken concert-goer as saying, 'I definitely felt my chair move. It shook for a minute and then stopped.' The Neoist Alliance also received reports of toilets overflowing and electrical equipment short-circuiting, although these went unreported by the press.
While TOPY were adamant that their actions prevented the Pavilion Theatre being raised 25 feet into the air, the Neoist Alliance considers the protest to have been a complete success.
Full Story: The Stewart Home Society: OUR TACTICS AGAINST STOCKHAUSEN
(via Peter Bebergal)
This article began in response to Jason Louv's call for submissions for the coming book "Generation Hex." However, the current political climate, and the absurdity of writing an anti-corporate monogram for publication by a corporation, forced me to rethink submitting this work for publication. Instead, this piece needs to be preserved in its degrading, uncopyrighted, all rites reversed form. Eris said so.
Despite their non-corporeality, corporations are able to display a wide range of behaviors in a conceptual framework of legal reality. Disconnected from the material plane, except in the way their influence is manifested, these entities grow, absorb each other, competing, altering their identities, renaming themselves, creating and losing capital, sway political parties, own and oversee property, pay taxes, sue, and be sued. Yet because of the nature of their existence, they cannot be imprisoned, physically coerced, or killed. Immortal legally, corporations as they are currently, are something of an egregore brought into being through the collective vision of the founders, an egregore that manifests through the collective will of the governing body and given qi, given energy through the financial investment of its stockholders. The political activist, when confronted with such an insular system, is forced to either buy enough stock in a corporation to create a voice in its decisions, something most individuals are not equipped financially to do, or to petition the courts and their congressional members to modify the laws regarding that corporation's actions. The magical activist, however, has an entirely different perpective from which to work. And for a magical activist, those very attributes that make physical protest ineffectual to corporate growth are routes through which sympathetic associations can be formed.
In today's world, a corporation hides behind its logos, holdings, and subsidiaries. The franchising, outsourcing, and reselling of products further removes the consumer from the corporation, all of these abstractions that proceed from the corporate egregore's will through media. Thus constructing magical links through a corporate logo becomes highly ineffective if the intent of the ritual is to harm the corporation. The logos are the corporation's magical tools, each additional logo brought into existence thus feeds the corporation's overall energy base. What is needed is a magical link not generated from the egregore, but through which the egregore had been created.. it's true name, a sigil constructed from cut-ups of its articles of incorporation, or an astrological chart based on its moment on incorporation. Fortunately for the magical activist, all of these bits of information are freely available to anyone with a web browser, (the internet being the grand grimoire of our generation.)
Determining that an egregore is both the holy guardian angel/superego and the shadow/id, of a groupmind, I started out on this project with a vague idea that corporations could be manipulated through a demonological perspective, a kind of pseudo-goetia for the stock market. A serious re-evaluation of the ritual presented in that and other grimoires is certainly in order, but the premise is the same. Working with corporate egregores with the intent to subvert and/or otherwise disperse that manifestation is toxic magic, and certain steps are important in such work to protect the worker. Egregores such as these that are purely profit-driven are a kind of energy vampire, existing through the energy put forth both by those that work within the corporation, its investors, and its consumer base. If called into a hostile environment into a spiritual presence, it would not hesitate to drain an attuned magician of all available energy as well, for that is in its nature.
This raises the issue of attunement. Upon approaching this issue, I was confronted by the same problem as using the corporate logo. Both invocation and evocation involve the magician psychicly attuning to the entity to provide a conduit for manifestation, effectively feeding the entity gnosis. While this is important in the psychiatric deconstructionist view of demonic entities being gradiations of shadowy unconscious energies one is calling up and mastering by way of the superego, it does little good when the intention is lessening the influence of an entity.
What is needed then is a convocation, a calling of the entities in question to conference. Convocation allows a magician to interact with spiritual entities without manifesting that entity. But before the calling out can occur, the ritual space for the entity to be confined must be created. It is here that the 'narrowing of focus' trully begins. The more baroque temple would probably sport ritual space for the magician and a space for the egregore delineated with chalk or paint, sand or ink. The more ornate, the more baroque, the more prcise, the stronger the psychic focus becomes. As this focus intensifies, the circle itself begins to produce a void, an energy vortex unspecific in its attraction.
A short overview of grimoires and mandalic art reveals some standard forms magical circles can take. There should be at least one circle for the egregore's sigil to be placed at the point of convocation, and it is this circle which should be done last, should a second circle for the magician also be desired. This circle in summoning a demonic form would traditionally be ringed by three lines of holy and divine names, boundaries between the sigilic space in the center and the exterior or physical world. This is fine fore working within a religious paradigm, but corporations do not necessarily fear the same deities that a traditional demon would fear. Rather, I would suggest ringing such a circle with the names of the markets, NASDAQ, AMEX, or NYSE.. in the US, the SEC is the closest to a governing entity a corporate entity could fear, and an evocation of the SEC in such a ritual might also prove effacious. Franz Bardon's magical writings suggest alternate routes through which to prepare the magic circle.
How, then, does one design a sigil by which to conjure? Sigils are a matter of taste and preference. Talismantic imagery can be mapped out on enochian tables using the stock symbol abreviations, transliterations of the corporation's name into Hebrew, or bindrunes of some sort, or through an astrologically derived geometric nest of lines.. "Pseudo-goetic sigils by Phil Legard" was what I consulted in creating sigils for Halliburton(HAL), ConocoPhilips(COP.N), Boeing Aerospace(BA), and General Electric(GE). Upon completion of the boundry and the edges of the magic circle, the inner portion is then designed, culminating in the sigil's presentation. The introduction of the sigil occurs not at the begining of the ritual, but at its midpoint. Finally, the circle and the sigil is ritually deconstructed, representing a release of the energy the entity has until now kept contained within itself. From this point on, energy must be allowed to slowly drain and defuse from the circle, a process that introduces entropy into the egregore. This ritual ends when there is no trace of the circle or the sigil, and the worker or workers have removed all trace of the corporate egregore's energy from the ritual environment.
In simpler terms, what is being performed is the charging and creation of energy traps for these egregore forms - energy is fed primarily into the circle in which the sigil is placed. Remember, the sole intent of these rituals is to degrade and undervalue the stock price. Keeping this foremost in mind insures success in the operations. What I've discovered in working with devaluation is that the operation should be returned to multiple times - there's a great deal of inertia. I performed two operations with the HAL sigil, one around Dec 25th or 26th, the second on March 9th, and in both cases the stock did seem to adjust itself after an initial drop. However, there was a drop. And, even more important, the more people work within this paradigm, the more effective these magical assaults will eventually become…
