Hello there,

It's unfortunate that those are the letters you had, because only the R is much of a clue. Do you have more samples?
- Mike Yanega
Thanks for replying. Not sure why I posted such a small sample, sorry about that. I'll attach the full poster. It's not Gill Sans is it?
Ditto what Jan said: WPA posters were often hand-lettered. In the next few months, I'll be coming out with a series of typefaces based on WPA poster lettering, but none of them matches your sample.
Oh, I see. Beautiful lettering and funny coincidence that you're creating typefaces associated with WPA posters. Thanks to both of you.
From Letterhead Fonts:
Thank you, those are excellent additions.
Also from Letterhead, Union Thug.
Probably the most common font used for this look on book jackets is Agency Gothic.

Echo is wearing her Red, White and Blue for Halloween to support the USA!
The jumpsuit is two shades of taffeta with white binding trim. Measurements were taken of her nexk, leg length, back, waist, and chest. To highlight the jumpsuit with some flare, white binding was sewn on to add visual depth.
The parachute pack is actually an adult backpack that was completely deconstructed and put back together. It was no easy task and I broke 6 heavy duty sewing machine needles in the process! The parachute pack has adjustable straps around her back legs, and a velcro closure at her neck.
The parachute is red, white and blue satin to represent the USA. Each color has a cord attached that sliders through the risers making the chute look more authentic. The cords are all secured to the underside of her pack.
D rings were sewn on to the chest strap and her pull cord on the back of the pack.
Her skydiving wrist altimeter is a watch that we resized and painted. For the final touch, she is wearing white doggy goggles!
All of this was sewn with a very basic sewing machine and by hand.

Crimes down in Florida involving three separate instances of Black men somehow biting or eating their victims, comedian Deon Cole felt like he needed to clear the air on something: Not all Black men are cannibals.
So he took to the stage on "Conan" Monday night to remind us that, sure, these three dudes did abuse some drugs and end up doing some pretty weird stuff, but that doesn't mean all Black men deserve a new stereotype hanging over their heads.
So while you enjoy the ridiculous headlines, just remember that not everyone looks like a cheeseburger (or do they?).

We need to promote greater tolerance and understanding among the peoples of the world. Nothing can be more dangerous to our efforts to build peace and development than a world divided along religious, ethnic or cultural lines. In each nation, and among all nations, we must work to promote unity based on our shared humanity.
Kofi Annan
There's not a one of us who has lived for a long stretch of time in the capital, I believe, who has not experienced that awful moment of realization that a friend or acquaintance with some public responsibility is losing the gift of normal discourse. He will have begun to address us over a casual drink or at the supermarket as if he were orating at the United Nations. -- Washington
Meg Greenfield
Those nations of artists, finding their own individualism, and kind of standing against the world: to me that's the ultimate nightmare. I want to get lost and diffused in the world.
Robert Wyatt
All systems are capitalist. It's just a matter of who owns and controls the capital -- ancient king, dictator, or private individual. We should properly be looking at the contrast between a free market system where individuals have the right to live like kings if they have the ability to earn that right and government control of the market system such as we find today in socialist nations.
Ronald Reagan
So far as it depends on the course of this government, our relations of good will and friendship will be sedulously cultivated with all nations.
John Tyler
As long as Nazi violence was unleashed only, or mainly, against the Jews, the rest of the world looked on passively and even treaties and agreements were made with the patently criminal government of the Third Reich.... The doors of Palestine were closed to Jewish immigrants, and no country could be found that would admit those forsaken people. They were left to perish like their brothers and sisters in the occupied countries. We shall never forget the heroic efforts of the small countries, of the Scandinavian, the Dutch, the Swiss nations, and of individuals in the occupied part of Europe who did all in their power to protect Jewish lives
Albert Einstein
England or the Great Britain as it is known more popularly is a land which has for long been a home to people belonging to a number of different cultures and races. The tolerance that it has for different people is in itself immense. Today it also holds the position of the financial capital of the world and is also a part of the European Union. It has for long been a colonial power which has ruled over many nations. It is home for the famous Queen Elizabeth and her descendants. With splendid country sides and cold weather, it is a very much sought after destination by the youth of the Asian countries.In spite of their hats being very ugly, Goddam! I love the English.
Bertrand Barere
There is no nation on the continent of Europe that is less able to do harm to England, and there isno nation on the continent of Europe to whom we are less able to do harm, than Russia.We are so separate that it seems impossible that the two nations, by the use of reason or common sense at all, could possibly be brought into conflict with each other.
John Bright
Until we can fully grasp the extent of corruption and fraud involved in the administration of the Oil-for-Food program, and until the United Nations decides to cooperate in the investigation, no American taxpayer dollars should go to the United Nations.
John Ensign
Canada is one of the planet's most comfortable, and caring, societies. The United Nations Human Development Index cited the country as the most desirable place in the world to live. This year a World Bank study named Canada the globe's second wealthiest society after Australia.
Time magazine
Lasting peace and security in Iraq and Afghanistan will be achieved when we establish the conditions for democratic, economically viable nations.
John Warner
A German wine label is one of the things lifes too short for, a daunting testimony to that peculiar nations love of detail and organization.
Kingsley Amis
Working together, we can build a world in which the rule of law not the rule of force governs relations between states. A world in which leaders respect the rights of their people, and nations seek peace, not destruction or domination. And neither we nor anyone else should live in fear ever again.

Title: | Investigation and evaluation of foodservice industry packaging formats |
Author: | O'Leary-Swinson, Cindy |
Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to determine the packaging usage of the foodservice industry in today's marketplace. It summarized the foodservice packaging formats in terms of relative volume related to usage, as well as the packaging materials broken down by sector. The opinions of industry professionals toward food packaging formats were evaluated. Two different measurement instruments were used to obtain information. A survey was used to obtain the opinions of foodservice professionals in regards to the different packaging formats, and an audit form was used to inventory the packaging formats within the different segments. It was determined that foodservice professionals like packaging that is re-closeable, provides easy access to the product, that is quick and easy to open, and that is easy to handle. It was also determined that plastic is the most stocked material within the foodservice industry, and pouches are the most stocked format. |

The word "anniversary" derives from a latin word meaning "year." Two month anniversary sounds ridiculous!
Two months? You've got to be kidding. NOTHING.
Bake him a cake n give me some special treatment ;)
Even though I don't believe in monthly anniversaries, if you absolutely want to give him a gift then obviously do something small and not too expensive. You could always make him dinner or his favorite dessert or something like that. Or go to the movies and see something romantic and you can pay for the tickets for something. It's the little things that count.
You're welcome. I figured most would probably say not to give him something, so repeating that would have been of no help.
A decent pocket knife.
no need to ply him with gifts for a "two month" anniversary. Enjoy your time together.

Latest Chinese space program Stories
China's solar-powered lunar probe satellite Chang'e 1 stood the test of a partial eclipse on Sunday as scientists altered its orbit and temporarily turning off some facilities.
China to build world-class space industry in seven years BEIJING, July 25 (Xinhua) -- China aims to attain the world level in space technology development by building a comprehensive aerospace industry by 2015, the country's Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASTC) said here on Friday.
Text of report in English by official Chinese news agency Xinhua (New China News Agency) [Xinhua: "1st Ld: China's Shenzhou VII Shuttle Shipped To Jiuquan for Octoberlaunch Mission"] BEIJING, July 10 (Xinhua) - China's third manned spaceship, Shenzhou VII, set to launch in October, reached the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the northwestern Gansu Province on Thursday, a source with the launch centre said.
Text of report in English by official Chinese news agency Xinhua (New China News Agency) [Xinhua: "China Makes Breakthrough in Developing Next-Generation Long March rocket"] BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhua) - China has made a breakthrough in developing its next generation of space-launch vehicle Long March V, which is scheduled for operation by 2014, said sources with the nation's launch vehicle academy.
The research team that developed Shenzhou VII, China's third manned space launch, will start final testing after arriving at a north-western satellite launch centre in a few days, said a space mission official here on Tuesday.
Text of report in English by official Chinese news agency Xinhua (New China News Agency) JIUQUAN, Northwest China, June 28 (Xinhua) - Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, the crew of Shenzhou spacecraft 6, carried the Olympic flame Saturday in the torch relay at the "Dongfeng Space City" in northwest China's Gansu province.
AMSTERDAM, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Emergya Wind Technologies NV ("EWT" or "the Company"), the Dutch wind turbine supplier, announced today that it has established a local marketing and sales company in the People's Republic of China through a joint venture with the Chinese Academy of Launch Technology ("CALT").
China's space program has defended a photo of the moon's surface taken by its lunar probe as authentic, dismissing critics who suggested it had been copied from a similar image captured by a U.S. orbiter.
Over a few short months, Japan, China, and India will all have lunar probes orbiting the moon, sparking talk of a new space race in Asia. China, for one, takes exception at that characterization.

The Medical Division of the Civil Aeronautics Administration does not claim to know any more than other doctors about the dangers of anti-histaminic "cold cures," but it is taking no chances with passenger safety. Last week it issued a warning: "Pilots using anti-histaminic drugs . . . should not operate an airplane unless they are certain that the drugs cause no side reactions, such as drowsiness and dizziness, in them as individuals . . . It would be dangerous for [susceptible] individuals to operate aircraft while taking the preparations."

It was lust at first sight, resulting in this priceless image of a pregnant Zolciak baring her soul -- and so much more -- for the camera.
Also on camera: the baby's birth? We have a feeling Zolciak gave Bravo full access to film the footage for an "RHOA" episode called "The Miracle of Kim Zolciak Giving Birth" (or something), which we'll pretend we never want to watch.

text: Salt Lake City Public Library Salt Lake City Gives Library More Time to Study 24/7 Model By Whittney Evans • Dec 10, 2014 Brian Grimmett Salt Lake City library officials need more time to study the prospect of opening the main branch to patrons 24/7. That's why the city council has postponed a vote on the issue until January. Library officials say they've got enough private funding to keep the library open all day, every day and hire additional employees. But first, Library Director John Spears says they need to get more feedback from the public and gauge the needs of the community. Downtown Library Could Stay Open All Day, Every Day By Whittney Evans • Nov 26, 2014 Brian Grimmett Imagine dropping by the Salt Lake City Main Library to pick up a book after a graveyard shift or watching the sun rise through the glass façade as you study for a big exam. This might be possible early next year if library officials move forward with a plan to remain open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It began with the hope of giving homeless teens a place to go over night. Library Director John Spears says while the library can't provide beds, it can be an overnight refuge for many. Salt Lake City Breaks Ground on Marmalade Library Branch By Whittney Evans • May 29, 2014 Whittney Evans A beloved neighborhood near Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City is making a bold transition from blight and isolation to vibrancy and activity. The evolution moved forward today in a big way after city officials broke ground on the new Marmalade Library Branch. SLC Library Selects New Executive Director By Whittney Evans • May 31, 2013 http://www.naperville-lib.org/ The Salt Lake City Public Library named an Illinois native John Spears as its new executive director on Thursday. The selection follows a year-long, nationwide recruitment process that began after the library's former executive director stepped down. Thirty-nine-year-old John Spears comes to Salt Lake City after leading a public library system in the Chicago suburb of Naperville for about two years. Library Board President Kevin Werner says he was looking for an effective collaborator, communicator and manager who can think strategically about the future.

Trip Start
Sep 28, 2005
Trip End
Dec 24, 2007
Hikkadua is very nice. We got on the train from Kallutara and in 3 hours we was on the beach in Hikkadua. Its nice as the rail route runs all the way from Colombo down to Hikkadua so all of our travel has been overlooking the sea - it is so nice!
We met a guy on the train who had some accomodation in Hikkadua so we went over to his place as we had no idea where we were going! It turned out to be ok but we wanted a nicer place to share our last 10 days together. So we looked around a little and found much nicer for the same price right on the sea front. It is only a small room but very plesant and at a cost of 5% of the previous 4 days!
We have come here to dive so i am hoping tomorrow we will have smething booked up. It has been a while and i am looking to keep active in the diving thing. I will keep you posted!
A couple of days ago we went to go diving but it is not the season so we went snoorkeling - it was nice but the water levels were too low so we found ourselves stranded on coral and breaking it all up! I have a nasty cut on my hand and polina has a couple as well. There were some nice fish though and Polina is desperate to do it again soon so we wil try again tomorrow.
The weather is unbareably hot all day and i definatly prefer it when it raines - it takes away the unbearable heat.
We have been shoping. I have a nice new pair of board shorts, a cool orange t shirt and a neclace - oh and a bag. Polina bought some prezzies for friends back home and another bag as she now has an amazing amount of stuff - i dont know how she will carry it :-)
I also dragged Polina to see Manu Arsenal - i had to chose between that and L'pool Chelsea and i think i got the right one - it was a really good game but i drank too much cafene and couldnt sleep - im exhausted now!
Hikkadua is still nice. We have been doing very little. Today we have gone on a day trip to Galle but it has been a bit of a disaster. We went to find a restuarant i liked which does the most amazing rotties but we either missed it or it was closed. We then went to another place miles away that was terrible and not cheap. (The food in Sri Lanka is very pricey and not that good (apart from their rotties!))Then we tried to get a train that wasnt going for another 2 hours so we jumped on a bus and it took an hour and a half to travel 20km du to road works! Now it is so hot here we dived into an internet cafe to cool down. We will explore Galle in an hour or so.
Galle was really nice once we had a look around. It has been owned by the Portugese, the Dutch and the Brits. The Dutch buit a huge fort around it that still stands today and it takes 90 mins to walk around. We went around it at sunset - the best time because of the weather and it was a really nice evening. Also the bus back was pretty quick and easy.
The past two days we went on an eventfull bike trip. Tostart with we hired a scooter for 2 days ad we planed to travel around the coast 180km to Hambantota. It was a nice day and was great about 4pm where we stoped at a blow hole. We had to pay 50 rupies each to get in and it was a very long way off the main road. A guide took us up to the edge of the cliff and we stood for a few minutes and then i decided to leave. The guide said ' your leaving?' and i said 'well there is nothing to see!' and then a massive explosion of water soaked us from a great hight - it was exhillerating!!! We stayed for about 4 blasts and then continued on our merry way. We also saw a big budha in a watt style building. It wasnt the one we intened to see but was nice and i gave a little donation as the monk was so good to us with showing us around.
After this we continued onto Matara (bigest city on the South coast) and then Tangalla. We should have stoped here!!! Shortly after (at about 5.30) we were stoped by the police for no reason what so ever, he asked us for the documents for the vehicle which i produced and then the driving licence. I didnt have mine and so they tried to get me to ay a $25 dollar fine. There were 3 of them 2 in uniform and the other wasnt. polina was beiong really bitchy to the asking them for proof we had done something wrong and something about her lawyer. Only one of the guys was being pushy and so I found out he wasnt a police man and just one of their friends who spoke better english than them. I told him i would only talk to the officers and after a half hour with Polina asking for their names and bage numbers (which they never gave) they took my name (which i gave a fake one - Snale) and let us leave. However, one of the guys said they would get us tomorrow!
This wasnt the end of it though............
We eventually got into Hambantota and there was no accomodation worth having. The mid range places in out guide book were $70 dollars a night and the others had cockroaches and were generally rubbish at an astronomical price. We searched and searched for 3 hours in the dark on the scooter and i was so exhausted. Polina eventually decided on the best of the bad bunch and we stayed at Joy GH - it was not a joy witgh a bed that was too short and cokroaches but still we managed to sleep and find somewhere to eat - luckily today was a better day.
Today we got up early hoping to avoid the police, Hambantota was shitty even by daylight so we were happy to leave (rubbish guide book!) we headed towards the police trap where we were caught before and we saw them but they had pulled over a bus and never saw us 'praise the lord!' we saied through but at every policeman (and there were lots) i had by heart in my mouth! Today we went to the budhist temple we intended to go to which was nice although they were a bit money grabbing and then we went to Unawatuna which is one of the top 12 beaches in the world, it is only 20km away from us so we spent the afternoon there, we swam in the crystal waters and laid on the golden sands and then made our way to Galle for the sunset - although we just missed it and i had to drive the last 20km home in the pitch black afraid for my life and the police we are back safely.
Tomorrow we leave for Colombo and the airport. Our flight back to Chennai is on the 23rd at a stupidly early time in the morning so we need to get close to the airport tomorrow.
It all went wrong! We gave the bike back after the last entry (above) and it turned out the police kept the original Insurance and so they were much more clever than we thought! The owner was called and came over, he was fine at 1st and we said immediatly we would pay him the $25 and we thought it would be the end of the issue but Oh No! He demanded we paid 1,000 Rupies extra for the inconveniance of going to Hambantota - in reality he could send anyone and the price for a return faire on a bus would be 50 rupies so we refused to pay. He starting screaming at us and physically trying to force me onto his bike to go to the police station, i pushed him away and after a little commosiuon where he threatened to kil us we decided to walk to the police station to get it all sorted out. He followed us all the way to make sure we went but had a word with them before we got there. So they were no help at all. We left with the documents and i said i would go personally to the Post office in Hambantota to pay it off.
This was never my intention though...........
My intentiopn was to flee the country, because of the way he treated us we left the next day (as planed) to Colombo See next entry

Hinterland - Preview @ Games Radar
Kieron Gillen has penned a short look at Tilted Mill's Hinterland for PC Gamer UK and on the 'net via Games Radar. On the basic premise:
Sounds great.
I don't have a great deal of time for games right now, but I would like to hear more about this game. Looks really promising.
I had seen some screenshots for this game and thought it was just another Diablo clone, so I'm very surprised to learn it's actually a strategy game. I'll have to keep tabs on it, looks like something I could really enjoy.
Sounds nice.
I wonder how the actual performance is. |
Hmm. I looked at the website and they are accepting people for Beta testing. This means that you might want to forget about it being ready in August or September. Think October or November at a minimum.
… Somehow, this all reminds me of Majesty …
Looks promising—keeping it on the radar.

Vacation rentals in Italy (villas, farms, estates, agriturismo, apartments) |
> SlowTrav > Italy > Restaurants > Reviews > Tuscany South Capalbio: Trattoria La ValleranaLoc. Vallerana 9, 58011 , Phone: 0564.896211www.vallerana.it Closing day: Wednesday Reviewed by: Janet from NY, review #2586 When: 2007 Unassuming from the outside, fabulous Bistecca on the inside! Worth a detour if you are in the southern Maremma. This family-run trattoria was recommended to us by our host at Agriturismo Quercia Rossa, outside of Manciano. Its a bit in the middle of nowhere, situated on the road between Manciano and Capalbio, but it's an easy drive from either locality. We weren't expecting much when we drove up, as the exterior looks more like a bar, but there is a lovely garden in the back and a large casual dining room. The menu lists many specialties of the Maremma, but we had been told that Bistecca was the thing that everyone orders here and so that's what we had. We started simply with prosciutto and melone, in anticipation of a heavy meal ahead. Then, on to the best Bistecca Fiorentina we've had in Italy! An amazingly huge hunk of tender beef. It was served in a way we'd never seen before...the steak was brought extremely rare--just nicely seared/charred on the outside--but each table was brought an extremely hot brazier-plate where you could continue to cook the steak to your liking. Somehow these plates stayed searingly hot throughout your meal. Just about every table in the place was enjoying this cook-along. For contorni we ordered another specialty, Verdue Fritte Miste, which turned out to be a gigantic plate of lightly (almost tempura-like) fried vegetables and fruits---yes, we found peaches and apples in the mix along with zucchini, onions, potato slices, carrots--way too much to finish but absolutely delicious and unexpected. The wine list is extensive and fairly priced with many local Morellinos. We had a Rocca della Maccie Morellino di Scansano for 13. For dessert we shared a Tartufo Nero (ice cream)...that was all we could manage. This wonderful feast came to all of 86, an amazing value.

Released: May 01st, 1995
Running Time: 82
Director: Mitchell Spinelli
Company: Plum Productions
Jordan Lee, Tom Byron, Tess Newheart, Nikki Sinn, Barbara Doll, Kaitlyn Ashley, Jonathan Morgan, Stacey Nichols
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Was writer Mitchell Spinelli in the midst of a major mental block, or did something crucial explode in the editing room? Kaitlyn Ashley and Tom Byron have recently broken up. Both have sex with others, calling their respective ex's to make sure they're aware of it. They eventually get back together. More brain-bending plots like his and we'll all be driven to hanging out with The Pussysuckers from Mars.
Vince Vouyer is Kaitlyn's revenge-fuck, and she calls Tom Byron midway through their cowgirl and missionary to inform him. Tom one-ups her by having an anal threeway with Barbara Doll and Jordan Lee. Some pretty bad editing (i.e.: Barbara's well on her way to Shangri-La, when the camera suddenly cuts to Tom's cumshot) severely reduces the heat, but the Barb/Tom anal reverse cowgirl stands out, as does the well-greased Jordan/Tom anal which is augmented with "pleasant" penetration shots.
Jonathan Morgan and Tess Newheart (looking exceptionally hot) indulge in a more than passable cowgirl before a doggie-anal that culminates in a "what the hell has he been eating" sludgy facial. He takes on Nikki Sinn in a missionary anal, and Stacy in a non-anal with great insertions.
The trademark Byron "browneye" tonguing makes an appearance when he and Kaitlyn reconcile, but don't look for any real ass action. A thick spurt all over her false eyelashes convinces Kaitlyn he's the one for her.
Don't expect much of a plot, but three anal scenes out of five means that when you think sphincter-shoving, think Spinelli.

Spine tingling Ypres
From beautiful Brugge we drove south west to Ypres. Along the way we stopped at some of the war memorials to the fallen soldiers. All this area is part of Flanders. We stopped at the Tyne Cot cemetery. It is the biggest commonwealth memorial. It was quite surreal looking at the walls knowing every name on the wall represents a soldier whose body was never found or identified.

We still made it to the Eurotunnel departure point two hours ...

The state of Idaho requires that all potential certified nursing assistants complete a course that consists of at least 120 hours of instruction. 80 hours of the course must be in the classroom, while the rest of the hours should be spent in a clinical setting, this means that all students will be performing the same duties as a certified aide, under the watchful eye of an RN. At the end of some training programs, especially an in-facility training course, the students may work with a veteran nurse aide on the floor. These students will be providing care for patients or residents. Students should never be left alone while providing this care.
At the end of the training, if the trainee has completed all work and hours satisfactorily, they will be allowed to sit for the state examination. This exam has two sections: a written and a clinical. If the student passes the written portion of the examination, they may proceed to the clinical portion where they will perform several duties of a CNA. The examiner chooses the clinical duties. Failure to pass either portion of the test will result in the student re-taking the test on another day. Students may sit for the exam a maximum of three times. If the trainee does not pass the test with three efforts, they must re-take the nurse assistant training.
Idaho allows nursing assistants from other states to transfer their license. The certified nurse assistant must provide proof of their certification from the previous state. The license must be in good standing (no neglect or abuse charges) and the aide must prove they have been employed for pay as a CNA within the past two years. An application must be filed for transferal before the aide can begin work in an Idaho facility.
Renewal of certification works much the same way as with other states in the US. Every two years the aide will receive a notification from the state nursing board or health department. The notification will have all of the paperwork included that the CNA should complete before returning. The aide must prove they have been employed for pay during the past 24 months and some of the form(s) may need to be completed by the current employer of the CNA. If the aide is not working in a facility at the time of renewal and still wishes to keep their certification, they may need to contact their previous employer for completion of the paperwork. A CNA that has not worked for pay in the preceding 24 months may need to retake the CNA training and certification exam.

The X-League Indoor Football (XLIF) is a professional indoor football league that began play in 2014. The league is co-chaired by Michael Mink and Kacee Smith.
The league was originally going to be known as the Xtreme Indoor Football League, but when LaMonte Coleman removed his teams (the Continental Indoor Football League's Marion Blue Racers and a new team that was to be known as the Columbus Beast; Coleman would eventually bring the Blue Racers to the league in 2015), the league re-branded themselves as the X-League.[1] XIFL co-founder Andrew Haines, who had previously founded the Ultimate Indoor Football League and Atlantic Indoor Football League, left the XIFL before the league played its first game. Michael Mink, who had helped reorganize the AIFL into the American Indoor Football Association in 2007 and co it until its merger in late 2010, then partnered with Smith as co-owner. Three of the six inaugural teams were from the UIFL.
Rule differences[edit]
Unlike other indoor football leagues, the X-League will allow for the use of two back sets formations that more closely reflects those in the outdoor game. Defensive players must start in a standard 3-2-3 formation but, unlike the restrictions found in arena football, may move freely once the ball is snapped.
The league's distinguishing characteristic is its innovative scoring system. If a team's defense forces an interception, recovers a fumble, blocks a field goal, or forces a turnover on downs, the team is awarded a single point; if the turnover results in a touchdown on the same play (e.g. a pick-six), an additional point is added for a total of eight points. The X-Dash (a variant of the system the XFL used in lieu of the coin toss, but modified to avoid the injuries that were commonplace in the XFL) is used to decide possession at the beginning of each half and will also award two points to the winner.[2] There is no punting, but field goals count for three points by placekick and four points by drop kick (the same as the Arena Football League, except without that league's rebound nets); original plans for the league had also eliminated field goals, but these were restored to the rules before the first season began play. On top of these features, the league allows for a 4pt. Conversion during the final minute of the game, using a special red football for the occasion.
The XLIF will have limited revenue sharing, evenly distributing expansion fees and league-wide sponsorship revenue to other teams. Each team will have 25 players (19 Active, 6 Practice Squad) and will have a weekly salary cap of $3,500. Each team will play 4 home and 4 away league games during the regular season, but each have the option of playing up to 2 pre-season games prior to the season against teams outside the league.
The Florida Marine Raiders, Georgia Rampage, and St. Louis Attack originated the X-League after leaving the UIFL. The first expansion team in the X-League was the Pennsylvania Steam who moved to Savannah, Georgia and became the Savannah Steam. The next expansion team was the Georgia Stealth who ended up folding before the season started. The 6th X-League franchise was the Alabama Outlawz from Birmingham, Alabama. On July 31, 2014 the Cape Fear Heroes of Fayetteville, NC announced that they were leaving the AIF to join the X-League for the 2015 Season. On August 7, 2014 the Corpus Christi Fury and Florida Tarpons jointly announced that they would leave the UIFL to join the X-League. The Rio Grande Valley Sol of Hidalgo, Texas announced they would move from the Lone Star Football League to the X-League on August 27, 2014. The Marion Blue Racers decided to move to the X-League from the CIFL for the 2015 Season. On October 15, 2014 the Bloomington Edge moved to the X-League from the CPIFL making them the 10th team in the league. On February 22, 2015, the Duke City Gladiators announced that they will be the 11th team, playing home games at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and will offer 40% of the team stock to the general public, akin to the Green Bay Packers.

The Edmonton Oilers announced they've come to terms with RFA goalie Devan Dubnyk, signing him to a two-year deal worth $7 million — he'll make $3.5 million annually, a nice bump from the $800,000 cap hit on his last deal.
The next two years will be crucial for Dubnyk. Taken 14th overall at the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, he's been brought along methodically by the Oilers and has yet to grasp the No. 1 gig.
Dubnyk didn't make his NHL debut until 2009-10 — when he was 23 — and has yet to shoulder a significant workload. In 47 games last year (a career-high), he finished with a 20-20-3 record, .914 save percentage and 2.67 GAA with two shutouts.
Decent season, sure, but it didn't exactly sew up the No. 1 gig.
At this stage of the game, Dubnyk is officially in "prove it" mode. Nikolai Khabibulin, 39, has just one year left on his deal at $3.75 million per and the opportunity to become the starter is there.
Dubnyk's had something of a free pass for the last few years because the Oilers have been mired in the Western Conference basement. Nobody was pinning those finishes on the goaltending…but nobody was exactly enamored with the goaltending, either.
With a wealth of young talent up front, expectations are for the Oilers to improve this year and the next, especially record-wise.
If Dubnyk can't backstop the Oilers to some wins, they'll probably start looking for someone that can.

Jeff Petry received a two year deal as well.
- ray2013 - Jul 6, 2012 at 12:04 AM
They had a discussion earlier in one of the threads about Scott Howson being hands-down the worst GM in the NHL. The Petry signing was solid, but signing Dubnyk for $3.5 million when Cory Schneider just got $4 million, and is a much better goalie. Terrible.

Yes, well, who wouldn't want to look down at pencil shavings and find rainbows? British-born, Tokyo-based designer Duncan Shotton has conceived of this fanciful notion with the invention of Rainbow Pencils, currently seeking funding via Kickstarter. "I was looking at ways in which, without interfering with its basic function, I could improve such a standardized, accepted product to make people happier when they use it," he says about the 6-color recycled paper pencils. And, it's clear, he's hit a nerve with rainbow seekers: a mere 6 days into Rainbow Pencils' funding period, Kickstarter has yielded more than twice the project's funding goal.

A Bountiful Thanksgiving Tradition always on the fourth Thursday in November.
A Bountiful Thanksgiving Tradition
Tucked between the two monster sized holidays of Halloween and Christmas, Thanksgiving receives far less attention. But Thanksgiving is a very important holiday, especially in the busy lives of Americans. It is a time to kick back and relax, watch a football game or go to a movie, and enjoy a huge feast. It's also time for us to give thanks to our God, for the things he has bestowed upon us and upon this great nation. There is no nation in the world that has more to be thankful for than us.
Thanksgiving History:
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated between the Pilgrims and the Indians in 1621.That first feast was a three day affair. Life for the early settlers was difficult. The fall harvest was time for celebration. It was also a time of prayer, thanking God for a good crop. The Pilgrims and the Indians created a huge feast including a wide variety of animals and fowl, as well as fruits and vegetables from the fall harvest. This early celebration was the start of today's holiday celebration. Like then, we celebrate with a huge feast.
Today, most of us enjoy Turkey with "all the trimming". The "trimming" include a wide variety of foods that are a tradition for your family. Those traditional foods often replicate the foods at the first Thanksgiving feast. While others, are traditional ethnic or religious groups recipe, or a special food item that your family always serves at Thanksgiving dinner. Then, to top it off, pumpkin pies, apple pies, an even mince meat pies are bountiful around the table.
American Thanksgiving traditions revolve around a huge and lavish meal, usually with Turkey as the centerpiece. For those who do not like Turkey, a Roast or Prime Rib is common. As tradition has it in most families, a special prayer of thanks precedes the meal. In many homes, family members will each mention something they are very thankful for.
Did you know? Potatoes were not part of the first Thanksgiving. Irish immigrants had not yet brought them to North America.
After the first Thanksgiving, the observance was sporadic and almost forgotten until the early 1800's. It was usually celebrated in late September or October. In 1941, Congress made it a national holiday and set the date as the fourth Thursday in November.

Peeping into a storied candy brand on its 60th anniversary
BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- It's Easter morning. A boy rouses his younger brother, and they run to the living room to find their baskets filled with -- what else? -- Peeps.
"Peeps are THE candy of Easter," the excited boy tells his wide-eyed sibling, who pops a yellow marshmallow chick in his mouth.
"You can eat 'em, smash 'em, microwave 'em, deep-fry 'em, roast 'em on a stick," the boy explains. That's not all. You can make "historically accurate Peeps dioramas... Peeps pop art... You can make a Peeps topiary." On he goes, all day and night. "Peeps jousting... hide-and-go Peeps... Peepshi... that's sushi made out of Peeps."
As the storied candy brand celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, Peeps' first TV ad in a decade captures an essential truth about the spongy confection made of sugar, corn syrup and gelatin: Love them or hate them, people do all sorts of things with Peeps, only some of which involve giving them to kids at Easter or eating them straight from the box.
And they're not shy about sharing.
"Everyone seems to have a Peeps story," says Ross Born, third-generation operator of Just Born Inc., which hatches five million Peeps a day at its plant 100 kilometres north of Philadelphia. "And they are free and willing to talk about how they eat their Peeps, how they cure them, how they store them, how they decorate with them. And these are adults!"
Just Born calls it the "Peepsonality" of consumers who buy Peeps not only to eat, but also to play around with.
"If you had asked me about this 25 years ago, I would've been rather bewildered about the whole thing," Born confesses. "We were candy makers."
Not that he's complaining. Just Born had its best year financially in 2012.
His grandfather, Russian immigrant Sam Born, started the candy company out of a Brooklyn storefront 90 years ago. Born advertised the freshness of his product with a sign that said "Just Born." The name stuck.
The burgeoning business moved to Bethlehem and acquired the Peeps brand with its 1953 purchase of the Rodda Candy Co. of Lancaster. Best known for its jelly beans, Rodda had also introduced a small line of marshmallow chicks and bunnies, employing dozens of women who hand-squeezed them out of pastry bags. "It was really very difficult, and these women were strong," said David Shaffer, Sam Born's nephew and co-CEO along with Ross Born.
Ross's father, Bob Born -- a physicist and engineer by training -- automated the process in the mid-1950s, and a version of the machine he invented is still in use today, extruding millions of those familiar shapes on peak Peep-production days.
The company, whose other brands are Hot Tamales, Mike and Ike, and Goldenberg's Peanut Chews, has never suffered an unprofitable year. But its growth has always been relatively slow, steady and controlled, and a few years ago, Born and Shaffer decided they wanted to accelerate it.
The longtime partners brought in a new management team, spent heavily on marketing and broke back into the chocolate business, introducing chocolate-dipped Peeps as well as Peepsters, small chocolate candies filled with marshmallow-flavoured cream. (New for this year is a yellow chick nestled in a hollow chocolate egg.) They also focused on holiday seasons other than Easter, particularly Christmas.
The result: Shaffer says last year was "off the charts." While Just Born is privately held and does not disclose revenue, he says it posted double-digit growth across all brands. And Shaffer sees more growth potential as the confectioner works to position its products in warehouse clubs and convenience stores.
Just Born certainly benefits from being part of a $33-billion candy industry that is seen as basically recession-proof, offering an inexpensive indulgence during tough economic times.
"Candy did not seem to take the hit that some other industries faced in recent years. We think a big reason for that is candy's place in our hearts and minds," says Susan Whiteside of the National Confectioners Association, a trade group.
Long associated with Easter, Peeps have penetrated the pop-culture consciousness in a way that other candy brands have not.
Aficionados send chicks into battle in a microwave "sport" known as Peeps jousting. They enter Peeps art contests, dozens of which are held around the country this time of year. They innovate recipes like "Peepza," a dessert pizza. They write cheeky blog entries with titles like "101 Fun Ways to Torture a Peep."
Hoping to capitalize, Just Born recently opened three Peeps & Company retail stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Minnesota.
While the company churns out more than one billion Peeps this Easter season -- a record -- it sees the 60th anniversary as another marketing opportunity and a chance to connect with its fans. In addition to the TV ad campaign, it's ramping up social media promoting a Facebook survey that asks knowing questions like this one: Do you like your Peeps fresh, frozen, or "aged to perfection"?
So which is it, Ross Born? Fresh or stale?
He's happy to address that perennial Peeps debate. Just don't ask him to take sides.
"There's a lot of grey area here," Born says diplomatically. "There are people who tell me they put a one-inch slice in the film (that seals the box), and they'll lay it on top of their refrigerator for two days. No more, no less. Then they are PERFECT to eat.
"So it's not necessarily stale, it's just a little firmer. All right? It's just like politics," says Just Born's commander-in-Peep. "You've got people way on one side, and way on the other side, but there are a whole lot of people in the middle."

Britain closes Afghan base Sterga (From Lancaster And Morecambe Citizen)

Britain closes Afghan base Sterga
1:28am Sunday 11th May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Britain has closed its last remaining forward base to be used by UK troops in Afghanistan.
The shut down of Observation Post Sterga means that the only UK troops still in Helmand are at Camp Bastion, which is due to close at the end of the year, and at locations in Kandahar and Kabul.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond, who was in Afghanistan to mark the latest milestone in the drawdown of UK forces, spoke to soldiers from the 4th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland (4 SCOTS) who had been living and working at Sterga.
He said: "The closure of our last base outside Camp Bastion is another important step towards ending combat operations in Afghanistan.
"It is also an opportunity to reflect on the mission and the hard work and sacrifice of British Forces. Their efforts have helped build a credible Afghan National Security Force and supported the emergence of a democratic Afghan state."
Sterga opened in August 2013 to enable UK personnel to observe a large and strategically important area of central Helmand. Troops based there provided vital assistance in covering UK and US base closures and gave Afghan and coalition personnel a fuller understanding of insurgent activity.
Most of the personnel based at Sterga were from the 4th Battalion 4 SCOTS with specialist capabilities provided by other units such as 5 Regiment Royal Artillery, 32 Regiment Royal Artillery, 3 Royal Horse Artillery and 14 Signals Regiment. At its peak the base was home to 180 people although by its closure this had reduced to about 90 personnel.
Commanding officer Lt Col James Roddis said: "Providing a secure environment for the redeployment of a base is vital to ensure the safety and protection of our personnel and equipment. The soldiers of the cross-coalition multi cap-badged Manoeuvre Battle Group, led by 4 SCOTS, have once again shown their ability and competence in making sure the personnel and equipment from Sterga could return safely back to Camp Bastion.
"Alongside our coalition partners we also oversaw and provided security for the closure of Laskhar Gah Durai and FOB Price in March earlier this year. As the last Scottish Infantry Battalion in Afghanistan it has been a challenging and rewarding job being part of the drawdown of British Bases in Helmand and the handover of lead security responsibilities to the Afghan Security Forces."
Shadow defence secretary Vernon Coaker said: "Our Armed Forces can be proud of the role they have played in helping Afghanistan transition to democracy and the contribution they have made to keeping people in Afghanistan and people here in Britain safe.
"As well as the combat mission, the expert training given by the British military to the Afghan National Army and police has greatly increased the capacity of those security forces and that is hugely positive legacy to leave.
"There are of course significant challenges that remain and we will continue to support the Afghan government and the people of Afghanistan to meet them."

Lily and her boyfrend were very friendly and nice. It was so easy to host them!
I didn't have the chance to meet Lily and her friend, and I regret it, because however it was their 1st experience on airbnb, they have been first class guests: great communication beforehand, they left the apartment in perfect state, with a sweet note that I really appreciated.
