The majority of the rest — $24 million — goes to the coalition conferences: Mountain West, Western Athletic, Conference USA, Mid-American and Sun Belt. Notre Dame, as an independent member of the BCS, takes $1.3 million.
Sound a little uneven? Not really, says BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock. Schools from those big six conferences accounted for eight of the 10 teams in the BCS bowls, so those conferences should take roughly 80 percent of the total payout.
"It's a fair and appropriate distribution of the revenue," Hancock said.
The distribution is based on a formula created in 2004 by the BCS commissioners and approved by the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee. The revenue distribution has varied little over the four years of the most recent media contract with Fox, which pays an average of $82.5 million annually. The media deal accounts for most of the revenue, while the rest comes from revenue generated by the Sugar, Rose, Fiesta and Orange bowls, and the national championship game.
Starting next year, the payouts will be even more, thanks to a new four-year rights-fee deal with ESPN that will average $125 million a year, all of which is distributed to the schools.
The money is paid annually by an escrow agent, Heartland Bank of Leawood, Kan., and each year's distribution completely empties the account, Hancock said, meaning all of the revenue is distributed.
But wherever the BCS goes, controversy is sure to follow and it's no different when it comes to distributing the revenue. Not everyone agrees with the BCS' method of dispersing funds, mostly those from the coalition conferences.
It's really a question of value, says WAC Commissioner Karl Benson. When a Utah shocks an Alabama or a Boise State stuns an Oklahoma, doesn't that demonstrate the value of those teams and conferences to the BCS? Shouldn't the payout to the conferences like the WAC and the Mountain West that send teams to the BCS look like the payout to the big six conferences?
No, responds Harvey Perlman, chancellor at the University of Nebraska and chairman of the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee. He says there's a difference between playing well in a game and demonstrating the kind of value that drives long-term media contracts.
"Those teams have certainly performed well, but you're talking about adding value," Perlman said. "The real question is whether including those conferences when you negotiate a TV contract adds to the willingness of the network to increase the bid. I don't think we've seen evidence that that's true."
The BCS' tie-ins with its bowls and the traditional strength of the big six conferences are what drive the value of the property, Perlman said, "not an individual team or performance."
The Fiesta's attendance of 73,227 was higher than the previous two Fiesta Bowls, which again featured teams from the big six conferences.
In breaking down the revenue distributed by the BCS, the Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference are the big winners. Each league put two teams — Ohio State and Iowa from the Big Ten; Alabama and Florida from the SEC — into BCS bowls, meaning those two football-mad leagues will each receive $22.2 million.
The other leagues that qualify automatically into the BCS — the ACC, Big 12, Big East and Pac-10 — each receive $17.7 million, accounting for $115.2 million to be distributed among the big six conferences' 65 schools. Conferences typically share their BCS and other bowl revenue evenly, although the Big 12 is an exception and pays more to the bowl teams.
A bonus of $4.5 million is paid for each additional team that makes a BCS bowl, which is why the SEC and Big Ten made more this year.
"When you talk about adding value, from a media standpoint, the Boise States and the Utahs add very little," said Barry Frank, a media consultant from IMG who worked with the BCS on its new TV deal with ESPN. "They're not population centers. And speaking from a personal standpoint, in football terms, I can tell you that networks look at them as 'Johnny-come-latelies' to the national scene that don't play the kind of schedules that major conferences play."
A total of $24 million goes to the five coalition conferences from the BCS this year. There's a $9.75 million payout that's automatic each year, another $9.75 million because TCU earned an automatic berth into the BCS based on its ranking, and another $4.5 million for the inclusion of a second team from the coalition, Boise State.
Once the BCS pays the $24 million to the coalition conferences, it washes its hands of the distribution. The breakdown of that money among the five conferences, which account for 50 schools, is determined by a complicated distribution method that the coalition leagues voted on four years ago.
The Mountain West will receive $9.8 million, while the WAC takes $7.8 million and the rest goes to Conference USA ($2.8 million), the MAC ($2.1 million) and the Sun Belt ($1.5 million). TCU is a member of the Mountain West, while Boise State is in the WAC.
As the BCS moves into a new media contract with ESPN, those five coalition conferences will review and possibly change their distribution. What's not known — and Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson won't talk about it — is how vigorously the MWC will move for a new distribution system that pays more to the coalition conferences that send teams to a BCS bowl. Thompson wouldn't comment on his plans.
There's another scenario in play that could greatly enhance the MWC's status and perhaps move it onto the same level with the other big six conferences that receive automatic berths into the BCS.
The Mountain West is two years into a four-year evaluation period that measures conference power. It's based on the strength of the league champion, how many teams are rated in the BCS top 25 and average ranking for the entire conference.
The BCS has not fully divulged what thresholds must be met for the MWC to gain an automatic qualifying berth, which makes the whole process sound eerily like joining a fraternity. But if the MWC could join the big six club, membership would have its privileges and its annual BCS revenue would likely double.
"We look at consistency over time," Nebraska's Perlman said. "Looking forward, I don't know that they change the equation, but certainly their performance over time makes it difficult to not look at them."

Bring Me Your Finest Spicy Herbs
I'd like to be able to grill or bake chicken (and perhaps fish, but mostly chicken) and make it very spicy (hot) -- not Guinness-World-record spicy or anything, but definitely eye-wateringly/sinus-clearingly so. And I'd like it to taste good. And I'd like to accomplish this using dry herbs/spices/rubs rather than by slathering the meat in a sauce. Is such a thing possible? What would you recommend using?

|At present, I am involved in a three-year research and development project called Design of IT in Use; technologies for supporting services to the citizens (Design av IT i användning, or DitA for short). This project, which is being funded by the Swedish Council for Work Life, is about the use, design and continual support and development of computer support for public administration and information services offered by one-stop shops and call centers. The main focus is on the ongoing integration of such systems with public electronic information systems, and on new developments and design to meet the increasing complexity and diversity of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). One of the aims of our research is thus to participate in the developing of new forms for citizens' access to public information and public services via Internet.
Our work in the DitA project is based on previous and ongoing longitudinal close-up studies of work practices and uses of technological support in actual physical locations such as one-stop shops and call centers. In our research work, we are actively involved in inter-organizational cooperation aiming to coordinate information and services on-line across and beyond old sectorial boundaries, both on the local, municipal level, and on a regional and national level. We are participating in the analysis and design of prototypes for on-line public information and public services, including the process of establishing focus groups and reference groups for the further development and testing of ideas, scenarios and prototypes.
Through and beyond the challenges these developments are posing to traditional public service bureaucracies and their roles vis-à-vis the citizens?, we see more profound challenges to ways of understanding the use and design of modern technologies. We have found, in our research work, that we are having to search for new ways to grasp from where, whom, and what situation, these service centers are being contacted. The ?global access? offered by www is accompanied by a growing need to localize the user/citizen/person ? and for the user to be able to localize her- or himself - i. e. a need to design for and manage the specificities of the situation of use of IT. One concept we have been exploring recently, as a way of focusing this seeming paradox, is ?genius loci?, a concept used by architects and artists in reference to ?the spirit of the place?.

text: Iran blocks VPN use ahead of elections Technology 11 March 13 by Liat Clark shutterstock The Iranian government has blocked the use of most VPNs in the country, three months ahead of the presidential election."Within the last few days illegal VPN ports in the country have been blocked," head of Iran's information and communications technology committee Ramezanali Sobhani-Fard confirmed to Iran's Mehr news agency on 10 March. "Only legal and registered VPNs can from now on be used." Project Ainita, a non-profit championing internet freedom in places like Iran, flagged up the issue at the end of February when access to encrypted international sites using a SSL proxy appeared to be impossible. "Email, proxies and all the secure channels that start with 'https' are not available," a Tehran-based technology expert told Reuters.About a week and a half after Ainita recommended the public use VPNs to circumnavigate the growing controls, which had already affected millions, it became clear most services were disrupted. This, said Ainita, shows "more signs of the Iranian government trying to block the few remaining ways to circumvent the surveillance and censorship system online… We call on other organisations involved in fighting against internet censorship to join forces with us and think of a solution before it's too late."Internet users in Iran, like those in China and other nations employing high levels of censorship, are used to using VPNs to get round government filters. Savvy to this, secretary of Iran's Supreme Cyberspace Council Mehdi Akhavan Behabadi announced, via Iranian news agency Mehr (which has brought us such headlines as "US plots finally takes Chavez from Venezuela"), that the government would begin selling access to registered, legal VPNs and start prosecuting anyone using an illegal one. The option wouldn't be available to everyone, but companies that require VPNs for legally acceptable reasons would have to purchase access via the state, meaning the company would become an access-all-areas space for prying government eyes.According to Reuters, reports also surfaced of internet call providers Skype and Viber being blocked, and the whole affair is looking an awful lot like Iran is stepping up its move from the "untrustworthy" and "unreliable" World Wide Web to a national intranet service. In 2009, around the time of the last presidential election, there was also massive disruption to internet access. Authorities will not want to see a repeat of the Twitter-storm which highlighted a disgruntled sector of Iranian society that time around -- a sector that no longer appeared to be so quiet in the advent of social networking.

English Riding Tips?
I am riding Western right now, but in the middle of switching to English. My lat Western lesson is tomorrow.
I have been riding for about 5-6 years, the first 2 doing English, the 3-4 doing Western. I have been wanting to ride English for a while now, and I finally talked to my parents about it. We have a lesson set up for next week at the English barn.
I am a bit nervous for this. I have a few years of riding experience, and I have been riding in an English saddle the lest few weeks, so I am pretty used to it. What are some tips for (re)starting English? I know all the stuff like heels down, line from ear, hip, heel, and riding posture. But what tips do y'all have for things like jumping and such? Thanks!
342 Attachment(s)
Be open to trying new things and taking things slowly at first :P It feels really different being in an English when you've been used to a western one!
Sitting up tall (but not stiffly) and stretching your legs down are two tips that are going to be your best friends.
Best of luck; have fun!
Some random tips:
1. Don't force heels down. Let the weight sink into the heels.
2. Stand on the edge of stairs. Heels down, hold, lift heels up. (Good workout!)
3. Always maintain some contact with the horses mouth! No slack reins, usually.
4. Work endlessly on your two point before you start jumping.
5. Work endlessly on W/T/C without stirrups before you start jumping.
6. Go over some ground polls W/T/C without stirrups.
7. Never look down when jumping! Look where you need to go next.
8. Always jump the rail in the middle. Jump sideways and you risk a refusal.
9. Don't rest your hands on the horses neck!
10. Don't lay on the horses neck either when jumping!
11. When rising / posting trot, let the horse lift you. Do not push off stirrups.
I'll leave some more when I think about them...

Gamon, Orgrimmar's resident punching bag, has gone through a lot over the years. He began life as the target of a low level rogue quest, being robbed and brutalized day after day. In Wrath of the Lich King, Gamon grew tired of the constant crime and violence, deciding to take a stand against the corruption in Orgrimmar and fend off the death knight menace encroaching on its gates. Unfortunately, still a lowly level 12, he was no match for his level 58 opponents.
After an intense training montage, Gamon was reborn as a level 85 elite in Cataclysm. Over the course of Mists of Pandaria, he has been one of the proud citizens of Orgrimmar to stand up to Garrosh Hellscream's oppression, engaged in a months-long stand-off with a number or the Warchief's Kor'kron enforcers.
Finally, in patch 5.4, Gamon will fulfill his dream. He will be a hero. Gamon will save us all.

Craftster Swap | Come join us!
We have 8 spots left in our Lap Quilt Swap over at Craftster. Please consider joining us ... it's a really fun swap! All of the rules and details can be found at the link, and I'd be happy to answer any questions that you might have. Signups end tomorrow, so don't sit on the fence! Hope to see you there.
I know this is my 100th post and it's kind of anticlimactic, but there is a giveaway in the works. I'm just not ready yet. Maybe a 105th post giveaway??

boo. It's USA and Canada only. No fair :(ReplyDelete
I was pretty flabbergasted to find your site. My husband used to quilt with me early on in my hobby, but he drifted off after starting a ginormous denim quilt (which I finally finished to get out of the sewing room). He still keeps me company and helps me rip out seams and other little tasks. I loved reading about you tackling free-motion quilting, as I can totally relate. That's a skill I've been working on for the first time this year. Have to admit it's really weird to see a man talk about gorgeous/cute/beautiful fabrics and see the fabric piles but it was cool too :) Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
happy 100 posts! I would join in the craftster swap if I weren't so darn busy right now. the 2 quilting bees that I am in now (plus life and blogging) are keeping me too busy.ReplyDelete
Congrats on your 100th post, John. If I wasn't so busy at the store, I would love to join the swap...my quilting hours are dwindling. Have fun with theh swap!ReplyDelete

Synonyms: glgY
Species: Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655
Subunit composition of glycogen phosphorylase = [GlgP]2
The glgP gene product, glycogen phosphorylase, is one of two distinct α-glucan phosphorylases in E. coli. A maltodextrin phosphorylase is encoded by the malP gene, and glycogen phosphorylase is encoded by glgP. The two isozymes are more closely related to each other than to phosphorylases from other organisms [Hudson93a]. GlgP catalyzes a step in the breakdown of glycogen, removing glucose units from the polysaccharide outer chains [AlonsoCasajus06].
Glycogen phosphorylase shows a marked preference for the larger polymer glycogen over the smaller maltodextrins as the polyglucose acceptor, although its affinity even for glycogen is low. It is believed that glycogen phosphorylase plays a role in the slow degradation of endogenous glycogen during long stationary conditions [Chen68a, Chen68, Yu88a].
The histidine phosphocarrier protein (HPr) component of the PEP:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) binds to glycogen phosphorylase and allosterically regulates the oligomeric state of the enzyme. Binding of HPr to GlgP decreases the Km of GlgP for glycogen 5-fold. Phosphorylated HPr has 4-fold higher affinity for GlgP than the unphosphorylated form, although it does not appear to stimulate the activity of GlgP [Seok97].
ΔglgP mutants display a glycogen-excess phenotype [Eydallin07].

Enzymatic reaction of: glycogen phosphorylase
Synonyms: amylophosphorylase, polyphosphorylase, polyglucose phosphorylase, 1,4-α-D-glucan:orthophosphate α-D-glucosyltransferase
a glycogen + phosphate <=> an α-limit dextrin + α-D-glucopyranose 1-phosphate
The reaction direction shown, that is, A + B ↔ C + D versus C + D ↔ A + B, is in accordance with the Enzyme Commission system.
This reaction is reversible.

The reaction is reversible in vitro. 5'-AMP activates the enzyme in both the phosphorolysis and glycogen synthesis directions [Chen68]. However, another study showed only a 10% increase in glycogen phosphorylase activity by addition of 5'-AMP [Seok97], and when assayed in the glycogen breakdown direction, no regulatory effect by AMP, ADP-glucose, UDP-glucose, glucose, and hexose-phosphates was observed [AlonsoCasajus06].

Kobo Edition (eBook)
Countless books have been written about why Nazi Germany lost World War II, yet remarkably little attention has been paid to the equally vital question of how and why it was able to hold out as long as it did. The Third Reich did not surrender until Germany had been left in ruins and almost completely occupied. Even in the near-apocalyptic final months, when the war was plainly lost, the Nazis refused to sue for peace. Historically, this is extremely rare.
Drawing on original testimony from ordinary Germans and arch-Nazis alike, award-winning historian Ian Kershaw explores this fascinating question in a gripping and focused narrative that begins with the failed bomb plot in July 1944 and ends with the German capitulation in May 1945. Hitler, desperate to avoid a repeat of the "disgraceful" German surrender in 1918, was of course critical to the Third Reich's fanatical determination, but his power was sustained only because those below him were unable, or unwilling, to challenge it. Even as the military situation grew increasingly hopeless, Wehrmacht generals fought on, their orders largely obeyed, and the regime continued its ruthless persecution of Jews, prisoners, and foreign workers. Beneath the hail of allied bombing, German society maintained some semblance of normalcy in the very last months of the war. The Berlin Philharmonic even performed on April 12, 1945, less than three weeks before Hitler's suicide.
As Kershaw shows, the structure of Hitler's "charismatic rule" created a powerful negative bond between him and the Nazi leadership- they had no future without him, and so their fates were inextricably tied. Terror also helped the Third Reich maintain its grip on power as the regime began to wage war not only on its ideologically defined enemies but also on the German people themselves. Yet even as each month brought fresh horrors for civilians, popular support for the regime remained linked to a patriotic support of Germany and a terrible fear of the enemy closing in.
Based on prodigious new research, Kershaw's The End is a harrowing yet enthralling portrait of the Third Reich in its last desperate gasps.

Used to descend from Sgurr nan Gillean after completing pinnacle ridge. Not as difficult as expected, as rock is very grippy and secure. View was amazing!Pete_Stewart - Solo O/S - 25/Apr/15
Liam Ingram - 03/Sep/14 with Catrin Nichols
Nowhere near as hard as it looks from below. Heed the ridge scrambling mantra "stick to the crest". There are lots of rubbishy but less exposed lines off to the left (in ascent) which leave you with a slightly sketchy climb onto the summit, however if you stay on the crest you'll find that it's a fairly simple walk across exposed, sloping but grippy slabs with a few little moves thrown in. I used a rope and a mix of direct and body belays to give my second confidence that she wasn't going to slide off into space but really it's a pretty easy route. I'd say nothing more than grade 2.Oujmik - Aug/14 with Jyoti

A great ridge scramble, fairly easy about grade 1/2 to start but some harder and more exposed scrambling nearer the summit. There is also a very exposed narrow slab that must be crossed just before the summit. Great scramble, highly recommend.justin_boylan-toomey - Solo - 11/Jun/12

Great route actually, despite the label of "tourist route", it has a nice feel to it, with some imposing views on the way up. Mostly a walk with some mild scrambling, some of which is optional until the last few metres to the summit. This final part gives it the grade 3, but in my opinion was probably grade 2 if you get the right line.

MADISON, Wis. – Seniors Tiera Stephen and Taylor Wurtz as well as junior Morgan Paige have been elected tri-captains for the 2012-13 Wisconsin women's basketball season, head coach Bobbie Kelsey announced today. The trio was selected by a team ballot.
"Taylor, Tiera and Morgan all bring extensive playing experience and vocal leadership for our younger players," said Kelsey. "We are extremely confident that each one of them will step up and do whatever is necessary, both on and off the court, to bring our team together in our quest to improve upon what we are building here at Wisconsin."
Wurtz, a 6-0 guard, earned third-team All-Big Ten honors last season, leading the Badgers in scoring (16.1) and rebounding (7.6). She was one of the most improved scorers in the conference, nearly doubling her scoring average from her sophomore season. Wurtz led the team with six double-doubles as a junior and scored in double figures in 27-of-29 games.
Stephen played in 27 games, starting two. She averaged 1.3 points and 1.5 rebounds per game while dishing off 1.2 assists per game. The 5-7 guard scored a career high six points in two different games, setting career bests in nearly every statistical category.
Paige played in all 29 games as a sophomore, starting 27. She averaged a career-best 10.0 points per game, including a career-high nine points against Illinois. The 5-9 guard scored in double figures in 14 games, including three 20-plus point performances.
"These players have gained the trust and confidence of their teammates therefore making their appointment as tri-captains a pretty unanimous choice," said Kelsey. "As always, we expect each member of our program to lead in different ways however, Taylor, Tiera and Morgan will be expected to be an extension of myself on and off the court. Each will do a wonderful job."

This may sound a little weird, but here goes: I say Spock's story in STXI is an analogy for a closeted homosexual coming out. He has emotions, which his people see as extremely distasteful. He can't supress them as well as they do, but he TRIES to live up to his rigid society's expectations of emotionlessness. He acts like he doesn't have them in public.
Uhura, she's his secret release for his emotions. Their relationship is an improper and secret student-teacher one, surrogate for a secret gay one.
After his mother died and his world destroyed, Spock cracks, and "comes out" to his father (Amanda always knew, and didn't care, "whatever you do, you will always have a proud mother"), saying this is it, he can't bottle this shit up anymore, he has emotions and that's that. And Sarek says not to try, and that he's proud of him.
Spock and Uhura smooch on the transporter pad in front of everyone, Spock uses Uhura's "secret" first name. He's out now, being what he really is and wants to be, and not what his society expects.
...that's what me, a straight guy, saw. Am I the only one?
I never thought of it like that, but you make some very interesting points, and you point out some very real parallels.
. Hot damn, I can dig it.
The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.

About Cecilia Aumen
My name is Cecilia Aumen and I live in Summerville, South Carolina - just outside of Charleston. I shoot a wide range of subjects, it just all depends on what grabs my attention. The last year I have fallen in love of taking pictures of anything that is antique. I found this area relaxes me the most and takes you down memory lane. Even if you don't know the true story behind the object, it leaves it all open to your imagination. Antique images make me realize we should slow down in life and take more time to enjoy life and get out of the everyday hustle and bustle. We miss so much today in this speedy environment. Slowing down and thinking back to what times were like before our generation allows me to appreciate life and what we have today. Maybe it's just me but when I am working with antique images it fills my soul with love, tenderness and puts me in such a great mood and ready to handle whatever today throws in my path. I hope you enjoy my images as I did through my eyes. Let them take you back to yesteryear and may they fill you with much comfort.
P.S. Post comments and let me know what you think.
Thank you,

Like many other motorists these days, Copenhagen resident Randy J. Elmer inches his car out and peeks around snowbanks when he comes to an intersection.
Fortunately, Mr. Elmer hasnt been plowed into by other motorists pulling out in front of him, he said. With snowbanks piling up, motorists seem to be less careful than they were in past winters, he said.
I remember when you put flags on your antenna so other people could see you, he said while stopping to buy groceries in Watertown on Tuesday afternoon.
With a seemingly endless string of snowstorms this season, city Department of Public Works crews just started last week tackling the issue of removing the growing snowbanks that are making it difficult for motorists to maneuver through Watertown streets. Its not unusual to find snowbanks 4 or 5 feet high or more.
Were trying to clear the stuff away, DPW Superintendent Eugene P. Hayes said.
Its been tough on both equipment and DPW crews, he said. And, of course, on his snow-removal budget.
So far, the planned $1.25 million budget has exceeded projections by $250,000, Mr. Hayes said. The cost of overtime, contracted snow haulers and equipment are all up, he said. Surprisingly, road salt expenses arent too bad. Crews, however, are using a lot more sand, he said.
To this point, the north country has been hit by 19 snowstorms, and that has put a damper on snow removal efforts, he said. Just as city crews are trying to get rid of it, another snowstorm hits. Then another, and another, and another, he said.
Besides the amount of snow, crews are hindered by whats underneath the snowbanks tree branches, limbs and debris left from the Dec. 23 ice storm, Mr. Hayes said.
Despite DPW requests not to, Mr. Hayes said many property residents placed the debris within the margins, the area between the street and sidewalk. Removing the debris could cause damage to DPW equipment, he said.
A tree limb with a 3- or 4-inch diameter could wreak havoc on snowblowing equipment and cause thousands and thousands of dollars in damage, Mr. Hayes said.
We really never got over the ice storm, he said.
The topic of snowbanks also came up at Tuesday nights Watertown City Council meeting when council members said they noticed crews were making headway on some city streets. Councilman Joseph M. Butler Jr. credited Mr. Hayes for getting rid of snow on streets near his home that were impassable.
Water department crews also have been kept busy. Since Jan. 1, crews have repaired 13 water main breaks, Water Superintendent Michael J. Sligar said. Just Monday, two occurred: on Stone Street and on Sherman Street at Elm Street, he said.
Water main breaks are not uncommon for this time of the year, he said. They occur when the frost line reaches water mains.
This is when they happen back to back, he said.
There may be a thaw later this week, and much of the snow thats out there now could be gone by weeks end, Mr. Hayes said.
We just need some relief, he said.

Don't think I have full functionality of Premium
Asked on Apr 10, 2014 - 05:35 UTC
I have upgraded but Todoist Premium still appears as an option under settings and I just watched a video regarding reminders and it looks different to what I have. I don't think my version has upgraded or has the full functionality of premium.
Please tell me how I can check this?
All responses
Replied on Apr 10, 2014 - 10:31 UTC
Hi Suz,
I can see right now that you have the "PREMIUM" label beside your name. That's one indication that you have a premium account. I have also checked our admin panel and it is indicated there that you have a premium Todoist account.
The video you watched probably used an older version of Todoist. If you share the link with me, I can verify this for you.
Replied on Apr 10, 2014 - 12:56 UTC
That's okay. All good then.
Thanks Clyde.

wow! congrats Mr Molko!
it seems hes an east-londoner as well, isnt he? – obvi i know the ceremony itself took place @ goldsmiths = in south-east london..
does he live in Hackney??
Goldsmiths alumni and lead singer for the rock band "Placebo", Brian Molko was given an honorary fellowship award in a ceremony on Wednesday.
Molko, who studied Theatre and Dramatic Arts at Goldsmiths, graduated in 1993 and went on to form "Placebo" with Secondary school friend Stefan Olsdau.
As lead singer, Molko and "Placebo" released 6 chart topping studio albums and enjoyed the success of singles like 1997's "Nancy Boy" and 1998's "Pure Morning" which both reached number 4 on the UK music charts.
Commenting on his award Molko said: "I am extremely pleased to be offered an honorary fellowship from Goldsmiths. I have very fond memories of my years spent there, which helped shape me into the artist that I am today. I am particularly grateful for the freedom to take risks which the staff encouraged and for the ambition they nurtured in us – no matter how brazen or off-the-wall it appeared."
Remembered by the faculty as a "quiet" student, Molko received his honors alongside such notaries as Dame Dr. Jane Goodall and John Bird, founder of Big Issue.
Molko celebrated his 40th birthday on December 10, 2012 to the great excitement of fans who organized the #MolkoFourOh twitter campaign to show their support of the musician.
Molko accepts his honorary fellowship.
wow! congrats Mr Molko!
it seems hes an east-londoner as well, isnt he? – obvi i know the ceremony itself took place @ goldsmiths = in south-east london..

I'm so proud of you Brian!!!!! I have been following you (placebo) for 14years now and this is amazing!!! I it's about time you were noticed for your brilliant contribution towards music. I just wish the band would get more credit for what they have been doing over the past 20, there are not that many bands out there that last that long, not today any ways.

Colorado Ghost Town Books/Maps
New Raymer Colorado Townsite - Ghost town
New Raymer sometimes referred to as Raymer. Probably because the original town named Raymer was moved in the early 1900's and went thru a rebirth as a result of new settlers. The original town was plotted in 1888. The original settlers came because of the Homestead act, the encouragement and transportation offered by the railroad and the promise of the ownership of new land. After a few harsh winters and several summer droughts these Mid West and Eastern farmers that had migrated gave it up and moved on. They were not familiar with the treeless plains and the dry land farming methods required to make a living. Many left in the 1890s. Cattle ranchers had been in the area since the 1860's.

It exceeded all our expectations
no complaints at all
The beach.
Totally miffed by the online reviews & price compared to other all-inclusives there. If you have been to a great all-incl like Iberostar you will be completely disappointed. So glad my entire stay in country was not here. Too many negatives & not enough room here to write. Opened the door to our room & was hit with stinch of dead vermin & realized could see directly thru ceiling vent into roof rafters & smell was coming FR there. Could've been nice at one time but not kept up.
It was a nice looking hotel. Average rooms. Average food. We did see a good bit of wildlife on the property.
We were in the last room on the property from the main hotel. They could have been more generous with mini bar soda and water and beer.
Staff was quite good, except for cleaning staff who when ask for wash clothes or hand towels and were apprehensive or were not giving at all..
Beach area was terrible compare to all the beautiful beaches around the immediate area, definitely rent a car to explore more of Costa Rica.
He staff is amazing!
The rooms are very basic, and in need of remodeling. Wifi is horrible. Do not plan for the wifi to always be available.
Pools were nice
Room was just okay
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

I'm working with him this whole next week to get him semi-ready for his first show..which I'll be riding him in. He's never been worked on a barrel pattern, poles/stakes, etc etc having to do with gaming, so it's going to be a lot of work. And-I've been told he was bred for western pleasure and trained for that and cart work. He has a huge attitude, and he ought to be a mare, imo. XD
Here's Toby, my best friend's horse. He's a QH x Halflinger gelding..and he's amazing for a green horse; rarely spooks, doesn't give much attitude, is aware of his rider adn their position, etc etc.

Expect a Studio 54 disco vibe with chiffon evening gowns, sequins and jumpsuits. Now with Sarah Jessica Parker at the helm, this is certainly a label to watch.


text: NPR – A Georgia inmate's execution was halted Tuesday night with less than an hour to go. Prison officials had already given Warren Lee Hill one of the drugs when a federal appeals court stepped in. Hill has an IQ of 70 and his attorneys have long claimed that he's mentally impaired. His case is now raising questions about Georgia's law, which makes it difficult for defendants to prove they should be exempt from execution. The 52-year-old Hill is in prison for killing his girlfriend, whom he shot 11 times, in 1986. Then, while in prison in 1990, he used a wooden board with nails to beat another inmate to death.
