Quick Takes
Oddball occurrences
Leader lashing
Americans aren't big on bosses, regardless of whether they're business bosses or union bosses. According to a Harris Interactive poll, Americans hold "business executive" and "union leader" among the lowest in prestige in a list of 23 common occupations. The five most prestigious occupations and the five lowest:
Occupation Prestige rating*
- Firefighter 63
- Doctor 58
- Nurse 55
- Scientist 54
- Teacher 52
- Union Leader 12
- Actor 12
- Business Executive 11
- Stock Broker 11
- Real Estate Agent/Broker 6
* Percentage of respondents who said the profession had "great prestige"
Watch out
In the corruption scandal surrounding a former Tennessee state senator, nothing appears to be safe. In a curious move, federal government lawyers filed a lawsuit not against former politician John Ford, but against his Rolex watch. Prosecutors helped convict Ford of accepting an expensive watch as a bribe during a trial months ago. But in a civil suit filed July 31, government lawyers named the actual watch, valued at nearly $70,000, as the defendant. The watch has not hired an attorney.
Bird control
Having ruled out poison and BB guns, Hollywood residents seem ready to turn to forced infertility as a method to control the overwhelming pigeon population and the white bird bombs thereof. Residents of the entertainment mecca are considering grinding up birth-control pills and mixing them with bird feed on the roofs of some buildings to prevent the pigeons from successfully breeding. The hope is that this will eventually thin out the air raids of animal waste that often make it unsafe to park or walk underneath power lines or trees. "Our streets are getting bombarded by the poop way too much," resident Laura Dodson told the Los Angeles Times.
Prank insurance
Through a series of back-and-forth lawsuits, a dental surgeon who temporarily implanted boar tusks on a patient during an operation-and then took pictures-could soon be $750,000 richer. Robert Woo of Auburn, Wash., installed the boar tusks in the mouth of Tina Alberts, an employee of Woo's who was under anesthesia for an operation unrelated to boar tusks. Woo removed the tusks and finished the operation, but not before taking photos of Alberts, which he later distributed around the office. Alberts quit and sued Woo successfully for $250,000. Woo's insurance company stuck the prankster dentist with the bill, claiming the heinous joke wasn't part of his medical malpractice policy. But the state's supreme court disagreed, upholding a lower court's ruling against the insurance company to award Woo with $750,000 in damages plus a quarter-million dollars to pay Alberts.
Best awkward intro
A Wisconsin man's disjointed prose not only won him first prize in an annual bad writing contest but also served as a fine example of how not to embed a clause in a sentence. The San Jose State's Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, named for the author whose "dark and stormy night" opening prompted a lifetime of ridicule, invites would-be hacks to compose smarmy openings to nonexistent novels. This year's $250 grand prize winner Jim Gleeson submitted the following: "Gerald began-but was interrupted by a piercing whistle which cost him ten per cent of his hearing permanently, as it did everyone else in a ten-mile radius of the eruption, not that it mattered much because for them 'permanently' meant the next ten minutes or so until buried by searing lava or suffocated by choking ash-to pee."

University of Kentucky Style Guide
Download Style Guide (PDF).
Please contact us if you have further inquiries.
The University of Kentucky Style Guide notes specific rules and usages to be followed by authors and editors of University of Kentucky publications, especially those targeting media or the general public.
The University of Kentucky Style Guide conforms largely to the Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual, but it contains exceptions to both AP style manual and The Chicago Manual of Style. Where conflicts exist between this and other guides, this style guide takes preference.
For other general rules, use a primary style guide that pertains to the publication you are writing or editing. Acceptable reference guides also are listed in the bibliography of the AP Stylebook. The Chicago Manual of Style and this guidebook should be used for correspondence, books, magazines, proceedings, papers, articles for professional journals, brochures and most documents for a general audience.
The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual should be used for news releases and news publications.
Avoid abbreviations in running text, except when part of names, street addresses, courtesy titles or academic degrees.
- Women Writers Conference, not Women Writers Conf.
- The Department of Family Studies, not the Dept. of Family Studies
Avoid acronyms on first reference unless they are so well known that most readers will recognize the reference at first glance, such as NAACP, IOU and IQ. In general, acronyms may be used beginning with the second reference, providing it would not be difficult for the reader to understand for what the acronym stands. If the acronym would not be easily understood, do not use it or use the following rule.
If an acronym must be used and is not well-known, it may be placed in parentheses following the reference. However, do not use an acronym in parentheses in the first paragraph (lead) of a text, especially news releases. This makes the lead too cumbersome.
- Advanced Science and Technology Commercialization Center (ASTeCC).
- the center (ASTeCC)
Do not use periods in acronyms, except for academic degrees.
Acronyms should be set off with parentheses after a first reference if they are not well known, as in Advanced Science and Technology Commercialization Center (ASTeCC).
To create the plural form of an abbreviation, add s. To create the possessive form of an abbreviation, add an apostrophe before the s.

- UK's basketball program is wildly popular.
See also academic degrees; academic and administrative titles; addresses; grades; Jr., Sr., III; Dr.; Ky., KY; and UK.

Quoted material that runs more than four lines is usually set as a block quote. Quotation marks are not needed.

Letters from our readers
Listen carefully
Regarding your coverage of the events of 2009 ("News of the year," Jan. 2) and "2010: The year ahead" (Jan. 16): I'm reminded that in my fleeting life so much has changed-not advanced, but changed. In my 1950s teens there were no such things as global satellite TV, PCs, the internet, bar code scanners, and cell phones; not to mention the array of moral, cultural, and religious issues that have torn us apart in just 40-some years, especially in the church. When will the Lord declare that enough is enough? I can almost hear the trump and shout.
-Stu McAllister; Hendersonville, N.C.
Bravo! Your outlook issue is the best I have seen in over a decade of reading WORLD. Congratulations on a truly outstanding job of addressing the major issues confronting us in 2010.
-Wayne Curtis; Pelham, Ala.
Markedly uncharitable
Regarding "2010 Vision" (Jan. 16) about the need for an alliance between Christian conservatives and non-religious conservatives: It seems to me that Christians are markedly uncharitable toward those with different views. We have a history of cutting off our noses to spite our faces. I am praying that what now appears to have been a very close call with the health bill fiasco will help us to be more ready to form coalitions based on common ground.
-Anne Johnson; Medford, Ore.
I found "The Next Hundred Years" (Jan. 16) to be the most insightful interview I have yet read in WORLD. Arthur Brooks was so understated yet so profound.
-Bob Cunningham; Bloomington, N.Y.
I found your "Looking ahead" snippets (Jan. 16) interesting and informative. However, you should be cautious about prognosticating on the results of an election, as when you wrote that Martha Coakley would "almost certainly" win the special election in Massachusetts to replace Sen. Ted Kennedy. Tsk, tsk!
-Philip Morgan; Bellingham, Wash.
I received a subscription to WORLD for Christmas. It's a perfect gift. However, in the article on seven "Countries to watch" (Jan. 16) in 2010, I can't believe North Korea didn't make the list. I think next to Iran, it may be the largest threat to us.
-Edsel Bernstrom; Renville, Minn.
In "Countries to watch" you reported continuing persecution for both "Christians and Catholics" in Vietnam. As Catholics, we accept Protestants as brothers and sisters in Christ. It is a necessary beginning to acknowledge that we are all Christians.
-Charles Oliver; Macon, Ga.
Be true
As a Narnia fan, I was delighted to see the article on the upcoming movie, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ("2010 Preview: Movies," Jan. 16). However, I was disappointed that the pictures portray the ship as very gaudy, more like a parade float than the sailing ship C.S. Lewis describes. I hope that this movie will stay much truer to Lewis' book than the movie of Prince Caspian.
-Dorothy Norberg, 13; Wake Forest, N.C.
I have just come from Avatar with my son. He called it "Pocahontas meets Star Wars"; I called it "Dances with Wolves goes Sci-Fi." In a different era it would just be called treasonous agitprop, but it is more properly called a reflection of the culture of self-loathing found in much of the public discourse.
-Richard Davison; Bryan, Texas
Avatar was a fun film. Like the Harry Potter films, as long as you understand the philosophy you can enjoy the movie. With its pantheism, reincarnation, and so on, Avatar has a little bit of philosophy for everyone, except for Christians.
-Ron Hanson; Escondido, Calif.
Unexpected test
I've appreciated many things Andrée Seu has written, but most of all "Much higher learning" (Jan. 16) about a new kind of seminary. I, too, am a seminary graduate. It was the greatest test of my faith I've ever experienced, and I wasn't expecting it. Seminary wasn't all bad, but the biggest problem was how it stripped from my friends a love for Jesus and replaced it with intellectual pride.
-Dave Ness; Longview, Wash.
Seu painted a good picture of the atmosphere that seminaries probably ought to cultivate but have long since abandoned in their quest to provide academic "excellence." I teach Greek, Hebrew, and exegesis in a small church and what she described is what our church is doing.
-Phil Faris; Spokane, Wash.
I disagree that we need a seminary that teaches nothing but Scripture, prayer, and fasting and goes light on doctrine. In my view, we have already turned North American Christianity into little more than self-help theory based on an emotional appeal. We should instead teach a faith based on immutable truths. We are losing the next generation of churched young people because they don't know what they believe or why they believe it.
-Gray Abercrombie; Fort Mill, S.C.
Impersonal enemy
"Waging holy war" (Jan. 16), about the Fort Hood gunman, Nidal Hasan, was wonderful. I am a retired minister and used to tell my people that if Adolf Hitler had come to Jesus on his deathbed, we would see him in heaven. Many people did not like that, but God wants all of us there with Him.
-Edd Worley; Grant City, Mo.
Dealing with an impersonal enemy is such a difficult issue, and I have never before read such a simple and accurate way to deal with something our politically correct culture seems absolutely unable to handle.
-Bill & Kathryn Douglas; Lafayette, La.
True freedom
Thanks to Janie B. Cheaney for "Out of Egypt" (Jan. 2) on spiritual freedom. So often I find myself viewing freedom from the world's perspective. However, the Bible makes it clear that true freedom is not the authority to do whatever you want to do but the ability to do that which you should do.
-Lois Miller; East Berlin, Pa.
Ceased to exist
I began attending the Episcopal Church 22 years ago, but recently I have witnessed its moral and spiritual decay ("News of the year: Churches," Jan. 2). The Episcopal Church I once knew has ceased to exist. Instead of upholding the Judeo-Christian model of marriage that God ordained, it has unwisely chosen to promote homosexuality in America. The Episcopal Church would do well to remember that God is sovereign over culture, not the other way around.
-JoAnn L. Fuir; Lewisburg, W.Va.
Serious doubts
In "Going against the stereotype" (Dec. 19), the author asks, "Can science accept the concept of an intelligence beyond nature directing nature? If not, should the definition of science change?" If God's effects on nature could be systematically measured and predicted, then He would simply be part of nature, and no longer beyond nature. I have very serious doubts that He would cooperate.
-Robert F. Scott; Knoxville, Tenn.
Make room
While I appreciate WORLD's "big tent" philosophy regarding its readers' interpretation of Genesis 1 ("War and peace," Dec. 19), I would suggest that WORLD still needs to make room for the many Christians who accept common descent as God's modus operandi for creating. Objections like the mathematical improbability of evolution no longer matter when a personal God is behind the process.
-Thomas Hogue; Jackson, Miss.
An honest look
When I first began reading WORLD I was loath to read the political articles because I had been disillusioned by all the lies in politics. My apathy was compounded by Christians who would blindly follow the party line or passionately argue over every issue. But WORLD slowly won me over. Your balanced articles show politics for what they are: in so many ways grievously far from what they should be, yet not completely without virtue. Thank you for helping me take an honest look.
-Daniel Griswold; Wyoming, Mich.
I was just reviewing some older issues of WORLD and was struck again with the breadth, versatility, and wit of writer and music critic Arsenio Orteza. Thank you for the opportunity to keep hearing from him.
-Barbara Masoner; Los Angeles, Calif.
Trevor Thomas of the Human Rights Campaign said he never asked for Larry Grad's firing ("Maine event," Jan. 30, p. 35).

Many women puzzle over the question "How to get my boyfriend to love me more?" and will benefit from the advice which is offered to create a more satisfying relationship. If you've decided you'd like to get more serious, here are some useful tips. Be sure to add your own comments at the end.
Make My Boyfriend Love Me More – Relationship Advice For Women
By Gillian Reynolds
Can I make my boyfriend love me more? Have you ever asked this question? If you have, you're certainly not alone. Women often find themselves in a relationship where they are crazy about a man who seems not quite as interested in them. If you love your boyfriend, and you believe he's the guy for you there are actually a few simple things you can do to get him to love you more.
One very common mistake that women make when they are in a relationship is they give too much of themselves too soon. Most of us have been guilty of this at some point in our lives.
We meet a guy who we believe is the one for us and we want to do everything in our power to get him to love us too. So what do we do? We make sure we're always available when he wants to spend time together, we wait patiently to hear from him to see if he'll have time to see us and we start letting our own interests and friends go because all we can think about is him.
If this sounds like you, you may not realize that you are actually suffocating his love. The question of how can I make my boyfriend love me more is be more independent and keep your own life intact.
If your boyfriend has to fit in your life instead of feeling as though he's becoming the center of your life he'll actually love you more. Men want a challenge, that's the reason so many women swear by the old tactic of playing hard to get. You need to employ a variation of that in your relationship now.
Keep your interests, go out with your friends, focus on work and don't sit and wait for your boyfriend to decide when you two will see each other. If he calls and you've already got plans tell him another night will have to do. If he calls at the last minute just to get you to come over to his place, say you're too tired. You have to hold back a bit if you want him to truly love you.
Make it a little hard for him to win your heart. If you do this, he'll want you more and more.
Specific things you say and do can make a man feel helplessly drawn to you. If you are convinced he is the one there are things you can do to ensure he only has eyes for you.
For more insightful tips about understanding men including a way to get him to fall deeply in love with you, visit this informative site! You don't have to leave love to fate or chance. If you are tired of waiting for him to fall hopelessly in love, there are things you can do to make it happen now. Find out right now what you need to do to capture his heart forever.
Feel Inspired, Positive and Empowered In Your Relationship

I have been lurking around here for a while now, and wanted to say thanx to all the "experts" and knowledgeable ones here that have answered many of my questions via the search engine.
However, I have another question that I could not find the answer too. I am looking to get an entry level bike (budget constraints) for both myself and my wife. She won't be doing much trail riding, probably all hardpack and road stuff so a solid frame won't cause her any problems. I am looking to get a hardtail.
Therein lies my dilemma. I am 6'7 and weigh 245 pounds. I won't initially be doing any hard riding, but I still have the childhood desire to get airborne at all times possible when on a mtb or dirt motorcycle. Therefore, I am curious as to what I need to look for in my shopping for a bike as concerns the crank and the shock setup. I have been looking at the entry level Giant and Specialized bikes at my LBS. I am migrating towards the Giants because I hate grip shift setups.

Maybe this was discussed in the past, but I recently noticed that the MBB recruiting page was taken off the site (or at least it isn't in the site navigation panel anymore)
Does anybody know if there is still a page on this site where we can see the status of our current and potential future recruits.
If it was removed, was there a reason given for why? I always enjoyed looking over that page every once and awhile and if I can't see it anymore, I am going to be a sad cyclone
P.S. 100th post
There is a request in on the support forum. Thanks for you patience.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's investigators have found parts of a human body in a storm drain near 43rd Avenue and Broadway Road.
Workers who were cleaning the storm drain overnight saw what they believe to be a body at the bottom before the drain enters the main artery of the drain system, according to the Sheriff's Office.
After daybreak, detectives were hoisted down into the drain, which is estimated to be 30 feet deep. They confirmed that parts of a body were found.
Sheriff's detectives will be searching the remaining area for additional body parts. Sheriff's investigators will use scuba masks to help in the search.
The area will likely be shutdown for a while, according to the Sheriff's Office.

So many photos, so little time. We spotted tons of celebrities out and about and attending events.
Channing Tatum gave a wave to the paparazzi after a workout in Canada. He was on his way to meet his adorable daughter Everly.
Prince Harry was just as top-hatted as ever at day 3 of the Royal Ascot races. He is a serious royal hottie.
And Tom Sturridge was hanging out with buddy Marcus Mumford after they caught a play together. I wonder if he and Robert Pattinson are still bffs?

Interview with Matt Warshaw
The Encyclopedia of Surfing
Matt Warshaw
"The leviathan of surf literature .... Wild variety and perfect pacing ... offer greater insights into surfing's vast reach."
Surfing, 10/1/2003
The most thorough, comprehensive guide to the sport of surfing ever."
Eastern Surf Magazine
The Encyclopedia of Surfing is the most comprehensive review of the people, places, events, equipment, vernacular, and lively history of this fascinating sport by "one of surfing's most knowledgeable historians" (San Francisco Chronicle). A remarkable collection of expert knowledge, spine-tingling stories, and little-known trivia, this is a book that no surfer-or armchair adventurer-will be able to resist.
Matt Warshaw
was born and raised in Southern California, began surfing at age eight, was the 45th-ranked professional surfer in the world in 1982, and became the editor of Surfer magazine in 1990. After receiving a B.A. in History from UC Berkeley in 1992, Warshaw moved to San Francisco and once again began to write about surfing for the surf press as well as general interest magazines and newspapers. His surfing books include
Maverick's: The Story of Big-Wave Surfing
Above the Roar: 50 Surfer Interviews
, and
Surfriders: In Search of the Perfect Wave
A Conversation With Surfer Matt Warshaw
What started your fascination with surfing? What keeps that passion going today?
Uncle Dan, my mom's much younger brother, visited our San Fernando Valley house in 1965, threw his 9'6" Hobie in the pool, stood me in the middle of the board and pushed me into the deep end. Literally and figuratively. I was five. By '69 we were living in Venice Beach, and I got my own board.
What keeps the passion going today?
How to avoid the cliché trap on this one? A minor reason is that even on bad days it's a far more enjoyable way to exercise than running or going to the gym or whatever. But I guess the main thing, the main attraction, is just the change in environment, from land to water; it still thrills me, and still leaves me feeling, afterward, as if I've been gone somewhere and had a little adventure. Waves themselves, their shape, color and rhythm, their variety, still have a really powerful effect; a curl pitching out and dropping in an ellipse into the trough, to me, is the perfect line; looking into (or better yet, out of) the ovid shape of a tube hits puts me into this strange hyped-up/blissed-out condition, and I don't expect there will be a time when this won't be true. Also, blue has always been my favorite color.
What do you think accounts for surfing's enduring popularity?
Snowboarding and skateboarding were both surfing spin-offs, so I guess surfing is better off in part because its standing is perhaps higher then it was before. I don't know if you'd say that surfing has acquired a gravitas, but it does at least have a history. I also think that as other things get flashier and faster, there's something attractive about the fact that waves keep coming in at the exact same rate; that (tow-in surfing aside), you can't go faster in surfing. The rhythm is still set by nature.
How has Hollywood helped or hindered the image of surfing?
"Endless Summer" was made by a surfer (Bruce Brown), totally on the cheap (about $50,000), and he just captured something of the magic of the sport. Nothing before or since has really done it. Surfing wasn't any be-all, end-all activity in Bruce's movie; it was beautiful and lots of fun, and that's about it. Other surf movies had hot action, but either had no point, or tried to make a point and sounded lame. "blue crush," "in god's hands," "point break," "big wednesday" - all made by hollywood, and all a hollywood-facsimile of surfing. Only Col. Kilgore (Robert Duvall) in "Apocalypse Now" comes off as a real surfer. And Jeff Spicolli (Sean Penn) in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Both were excellent portrayals. Surf movies (the ones made for and by surfers) and Hollywood surf movies have, with very few exceptions, been a bust.
What do you think accounts for the great appeal surfing has for young and old alike?
It's a sport that changes to fit the person, or changes as the person changes. It can be a competitive outlet, a reason to travel, a way to test your guts, an artistic medium. Also, the amount of time you actually spend riding waves is so small—measured in seconds for each hour spent in the water, usually—and the waves are so often crummy or crowded, that we all live in a state of mild to severe anticipation. Rarely, rarely, does a surfer feel satiated. That's a huge part of the appeal, I think. That, and of course just plugging into a pretty amazing energy source. Waves provide the strangest and most beautiful playing field of any sport. Other fields are static. Ours moves.
How are women treated in surfing?
Lisa Anderson from Florida was (and still is) a ripping hot surfer and a blond-haired blue-eyed fox as well, and in 1994, when she won her first world pro title, the smart marketing people at Quiksilver-spinoff Roxy decided to put Lisa at the front of a huge marketing campaign to promote women's surfing. A way overdue move. This sport has treated women really badly through the decades. So there was a moral debt to pay, as well as a ripe marketing opportunity -- Roxy jumped in first, and everybody else followed, and pretty soon it was a trend: women's surf shops, magazines, surf schools, etc. There was still kind of a sexist thing there, as the featured surfers were all young hotties. But females of all ages and sizes were at least more likely to pick the sport up, and we're a lot better off for it.
What's with surfer "fashion?"
Loose, baggy and comfortable. Long trunks were the solution to that nasty inner-thigh rash that comes from straddling your board. Everything else pretty much comes from being easy to slip in and out of, or what feels good while on the beach. Slaps (sandals), baggy shorts, t-shirts; no belts, no socks, no jewelry.
Where are the best waves in the USA?
Big waves: Maverick's
Point waves: Malibu, Rincon
Reef surf: Pipeline
Beachbreak: Blacks in La Jolla, Cape Hatteras in North Carolina
Where are the strangest places you've heard of people catching a wave?
Tidal bores (Britain's Severn River, the Amazon in Brazil, and the Dordogne River in France), where an equinox tide will funnel up the river and create waves, usually along the banks.
What do you consider your fondest memory of surfing?
Millions of best moments. Four years ago I was sick for a few weeks, and the first time I went back into the water it was a sunny afternoon, with these little transparent two-footers running over a sandbar; I caught one, stood up, angled and just stood there, and almost felt like crying because it was so beautiful, and because it still felt so good. Millions of moments like that.
Your worst moment?
A friend talked me into surfing Maverick's in 1992. I'm not a big-wave surfer, and really had no business being out there, but I was able to grub my way into a couple of smaller waves. After an hour or so a huge set came through, and I began sprint-paddling for the deep-water channel to the south, and it was about a 20-second period where I wasn't sure if I'd get there in time. The incoming wave was probably 20 feet, and had it caught me, I no doubt would have had some kind of psychotic panic episode underwater. I paddled up the face just as the lip started to fringe, and I was just about vertical as I crested the thing and fell down the backside, making little whining noises in my throat.

She said she was going to do it and true to her word, Jessie J has shaved off her glossy locks for Comic Relief.
The 'Price Tag' singer said having her hair shaved was the least she could do to help raise much needed cash for the charity.
She later took to Twitter to thank fans for their support, posting a snap of her new short do and tweeting: "I did it! Thank you to everyone who is donating! Please keep texting YES to 70010."
And we must say Jessie, it really does suit you!
Also appearing were One Direction, Miranda Hart, Ricky Gervais, Dawn French, James Corden, David Walliams, Simon Cowell and Hollywood star Will Ferrell.
Jessie waved bye-bye to her glossy locks as Red Nose Day celebrated its 25th anniversary.
Want to make a difference? Click here to donate to Comic Relief
Hosts on tonight's show included Rob Brydon, John Bishop, Davina McCall, Nick Grimshaw, Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand.
Other highlights of the evening saw Ricky Gervais resurrecting David Brent for a brief revival of 'The Office' and Rowan Atkinson addressing the nation as the new Archbishop of Canterbury, sharing his views on the importance of fundraising for 'Red Nose in Need'.
The first two minutes of this sketch, featuring Ricky Gervais on a trip to Kenya, are entirely plausible - you think you're watching The Office star in a rare moment of sincerity on a trip abroad. Of course you're not - it's the crying celebrities of Comic Relief that he's lampooning. And himself, of course. BEST BIT: A surprise turn by Jamie Oliver eating a Burger King.
One of the most surreal moments in Comic Relief history, James Corden - playing Smithie from Gavin & Stacey - accidentally wanders into an England team meeting and proceeds to give Terry, Beckham, Lampard et al a motivation speech using the wise words of John Barnes. BEST BIT: What's written on John Terry's white board. And trying to decide which England player is the worst actor.
Jim Royle is so ill he's even put the central heating on... or is he? BEST BIT: Dave's not quite getting the idea of the parachute jump.
A theatre group decide to put on 'The Office Opera' but first need the permission of the sitcom's creator. Ricky Gervais has been sending himself up as a monstrous egomaniac ever since he became famous, but in this sketch he really goes for it... BEST BIT: Either the Henry VIII moment or Gervais's entrance at the rehearsal - we can't decide.
A classic from the archives - Match Of The Day host Des Lynam decides he is sick of talking about football and tries to engage the pundits in a discussion about literature. BEST BIT: Jimmy Hill's robot fears. And just Jimmy Hill generally.
A million pounds has been raised to convince a very young-looking Hugh Grant to make Dawn French's wish come true by giving her a snog. Those who remember this from the mid-90s will recall the build up took place throughout the night, until Dawn finally got her man. BEST BIT: Dawn's slapstick entrance.
Back when Men Behaving Badly was one of the best sitcoms on the box, Comic Relief viewers were treated to the surreal sight of Kylie Minogue showing up at the famous flat after accidentally bumping into Tony's van. BEST BIT: Gary reading out the rejection letter from Kylie Minogue's people.
How did this ever get broadcast? David and Victoria Beckham, still in the early stages of their global fame, prove themselves to be incredibly good sports as Ali G subjects them to an excruciating ten minutes of crude questions. Full of eye-watering lines, you've never liked 'Posh and Becks' more. BEST BIT: "Do you want Brooklyn to grow up to be a footballer like his Dad, or a singer like Mariah Carey?"
At the height of Spice Girls mania in 1997, Kathy Burke, Dawn French, Llewella Gideon, Lulu and Jennifer Saunders created a parody of the group called the Sugar Lumps. Seeing all ten on stage at once is now a vintage moment of 1990s nostalgia. BEST BIT: Dawn French aping Posh as she goes through the dance moves to 'Who Do You Think You Are?'.
Poor old Gordon didn't get much right as Prime Minister, certainly not in the PR stakes. But in this fantastic ensemble sketch (again with 'Smithie' at the helm), he pulls off a blinder of a moment that encapsulates all that is good about Comic Relief entertainment - a fist pump with JLS. BEST BIT: So many to mention, but Gordon steals the show.
Alan Partridge's resurrection on Mid-Morning Matters was a wonderful return to form for Steve Coogan's greatest character, and this Comic Relief sketch is as funny (and agonizing) as any of the episodes. BEST BIT: The awkward banter between Alan and Sidekick Simon is priceless comedy.
Fair play to Blair - he managed to pull off one of the nation's favourite comedy catch phrases without being toe-curlingly awful. Will Cameron attempt something as gutsy for Comic Relief 2013? We can only hope so. BEST BIT: Blair pulling off the 'Am I bothered?' routine with surprising aplomb.

Wow - after you've seen this vid, you're going to be hunting down every clip you can of sexy redhead Marsha Lord! This hottie has got an incredible body that has to be seen to be believed, and she really knows how to position herself in front of the camera to show off every single one of her fantastic curves. She engages in some mutual oral and masturbation with her man Dave Hardman, and then Dave lays her flat on her back and really fucks her hard. You can tell he's really turned on by her sexy body and wants to give it to her good. She even lets him fuck her in the ass, bending over and thrusting her ass in the air in expectation.

"Some babes are still playing in the minors when it comes to female ejaculation. But over at
Big League Squirters
these hot chicks have proved they have what it takes to get called up to the big leagues where it is much wetter.
BigLeagueSquirters brings you nonexclusive content featuring hot babes who make it obvious to everyone around when they cum. Besides their load moans and their individual "O" faces, there is also the stream of wetness that comes shooting out from their well-used pussies.
So far, there are 30 episodes available and each one features a different squirter in some kind of hardcore scene. Some are straight-up gonzo, while others go with the reality/scripted setup. Either way, there is some sucking, fucking and squirting (both the chick and the dude let it fly).
Now, not all the babes are as impressive when ejaculating. However, while some chicks leave only an average puddle of female goodness, some of them seem to have a bazooka water gun up their pussies with the amount of squirt they let loose.
The videos are all available to stream in an embedded Flash player or download in an excellent-quality Windows Media format. There is also a portable option and a good-quality H.264 encoded version.
Each episode also comes with a large set of average-sized pictures that you can browse through to get a sense of the scene. Although, with the streaming option I would just play that (especially since you can move forward in the scene with pretty much no buffering).
The site is updating once a week, but there is obviously not enough content to make it worth it on its own, which is why it is a very good thing that there are 43 bonus squirting DVDs, thousands of other DVDs, bonus videos and 69 network bonus sites, like Bang A Midget, 360 Solos and Escort Trick.
If you are here just for the main, nonexclusive squirting vids, then it needs to grow before it has true value. However, if you can appreciate the extra squirting content as well as all the porn in all the various niches then
is a network membership worth getting."

May 30, 2016
State lawmakers officially adjourned Wednesday. They adjourned the legislative session sine die, which means "without day" in Latin. It marks the official last day of the Legislature.
Sine die is largely a formality, but it's important because many new laws take effect 90 days after the end of session.
Only a handful of senators and representatives showed up for the final day. They will return January 12.
Representatives will be sworn in for new two-year terms, and senators will begin the third year of their four-year terms.

The two guys working stood chatting in front of me for a couple minutes even though I was right in front of them with all my luggage. Actually checking in took ages because the guy helping me kept disappearing for inexplicable reasons, and then he didn't program my key properly, so I had to come back and wait for him to help me and reprogram it.

The problems with the reconditioned Russian carrier are amply laid out on this thread:
My last post on that thread detailed the latest Russian demands and cost escalation on the former Russian CV Admiral Gorshkov. The Russians are also demanding an additional payment, bringing the total cost of the carrier to almost three billion U.S. dollars--with no guarantee that this will be the last demand. This is a shakedown, pure and simple.
With a new Administration in Washington DC, perhaps its time to take a big step in our relations with India? India desperately wants a carrier, but does not have the capability to build a large deck CV within the next five years, to say nothing of laying in the logistic support or the air wing.
Is the time right for the Obama administration to offer a late-build NIMITZ class carrier to India? Of course, one can't just offer the carrier; it comes with an incredible logistic tail comprising training, MRO, and---the AIR WING. This carrier could be packaged with an entire ready-to-use air wing.
We have what...12 carriers in commission. Clearly, the "world policeman" days are over. This could be an opportunity to build a long lasting strategic alliance with a major democracy in a part of the world where democracy could use a boost.
I'm not suggesting a give away. This would be a sale, conditional upon purchasing the whole package. In return, the U.S. Government would have to offer India iron clad guarantees of logistic support under any conditions, short of using the carrier air wing against NATO or the U.S. itself.
Flame away!

After the Giants' 2012 World Series win, some rabid fans took to the streets of San Francisco, vandalizing a municipal bus.
But this week the city is taking measures to ensure that the same thing does not happen after the 49ers NFC title game on Sunday.
[RELATED: Vegas still giving 49ers third-best odds to win Super Bowl]
According to SFGate.com, Muni will be removing historic cable cars and streetcars from service in order to protect them regardless of the outcome of Sunday's game.
Diesel and hybrid buses will replace streetcars on several routes.
The city also took riot prevention measures before last year's 49ers-Ravens Super Bowl with mayor Ed Lee recommending that bars limit the sale of hard alcohol to curb fan rioting.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Origins Available: French, German
The French duchy of Gascogne was the home of the family who first used the name Marth. The surname was derived from the patron saint Saint Martinus, a Bishop of Tours and Evangelist of la Gaule who was very popular in the Middle Ages.
The surname Marth was first found in Gascony (French: Gascogne), an area of southwest France bordering Spain, that was part of the "Province of Guyenne and Gascony" prior to the French Revolution, where the family has held a family seat from ancient times.
Most surnames have experienced slight spelling changes. A son may not chose to spell his name the same way that his father did. Many were errors, many deliberate. During the early development of the French language, a person usually gave his version, phonetically, to a scribe, a priest, or a recorder. Prefixes or suffixes varied. They were optional as they passed through the centuries, or were adopted by different branches to signify either a political or religious adherence. Hence, there a many spelling variations of the name Marth, including Martin, Martine, Lamartine, Martinat, Martinaud, Martinault, Martinot, Martineau, Martinet, Martiné, Martinon, Martinesque, Martet, Marthet, Marté, Martaud, Martault, Martot, Marti, Marty, Martinenche, Martiena, Martirena, Martens, Mertens, Saint-Martin and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Marth research. Another 971 words (69 lines of text) covering the years 1345, 1370, 1445, 1500, 1550, 1560, 1605, 1673, 1676, 1689, 1710, 1717, 1742, 1743, 1755, 1789, 1800, 1803, 1810, 1818, and 1820 are included under the topic Early Marth History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 161 words (12 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Marth Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
France was active as a cultural leader in the early 16th century. One particular area in which they lead was the exploration of the New World. The explorers, like Jacques Cartier in 1534, led the way to North America. Champlain, in 1608, made the first of twenty voyages to France to attract settlers and brought the first migrant in 1617. By 1675, there were 7000 French in Quebec, and the French Acadian presence in the Maritimes had reached 500. The French founded Lower Canada, thus becoming one of the two great founding nations of Canada. The family name Marth has made many distinguished contributions in France and New France to the world of science, culture, religion, and education. Amongst the settlers in North America with this distinguished name Marth were
Marth Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Marth Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
The Marth Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Marth Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Minnesota Crime Wave Authors Arrest Audience in St. Michael
The Minnesota Crime Wave visited the St. Michael Public Library on Jan. 24 and arrested the audience's attention with a discussion on mystery-related topics. The Minnesota Crime Wave includes Carl Brookins, Ellen Hart and William Kent Krueger, all Minnesota authors. They each talked about their current books in the works, character and plot development, and their own backgrounds. They encouraged audience interaction, and were peppered with many questions including, "How much of your heroes' and heroines' lives resemble your own?" And, "Who do you like to read?" They concluded the evening with a book signing. The Legacy event was funded in part with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Film director Jay Roach is teaming with HBO once again on a series that promises to tackle religion in America.
HBO has picked up the director's latest project entitled "Our Father" as part of his two year deal with the cable giant. The series is said to focus on one of America's most influential and powerful pastors as he attempts to reconnect with his faith and family as faces unlikely enemies who threaten his dominance over church policy. Roach is signed to helm the pilot of the series, written by "Zombieland" scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, with all three executive producing.
Roach really made his mark in film with comedies, from "Meet The Parents" to the "Austin Powers" trilogy, so it's interesting to see him venture into drama with writers most notable for comedy as well. This makes me think that despite the 'drama' label, perhaps this falls more into the drama with comedy stylings realm.
In addition to his comedy projects, Roach has recently teamed with HBO in directing politically-charged projects like the Sarah Palin flick "Game Change" and "Recount," winning two Emmy awards in the process for directing and Best Movie/Miniseries. His most recent directorial effort saw him return to comedy with a different kind of politically-charged project, the Will Ferrell/Zach Galifianakis comedy "The Campaign." Reese and Wernick, after striking gold with 2009's "Zombieland," have been working on a number of projects including "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and Marvel Comics' "Deadpool" scripts in addition to a zombie sequel.

The Angry Ghost Hunter on the Angry Ghost Hunter
When I started my blog in February of this year (2010), my intent was to confront the problems that are damaging the field of paranormal research. Yes, I've talked about the lack of education, training, and professionalism as well as the abundance of thrill seeking and the competitiveness we face every time we set forth to find truth to the paranormal.The diversity of ghost hunting groups is commendable. We all want and deserve to make our individual mark in the ghost hunting community. However, with the lack of internal communication and/or in helping our neighboring ghost hunters, more and more problems develop around us.
Those who know me personally will agree that I'm really a nice guy. Not so angry. But I'm very passionate when it comes to ghosts and the research. As my group and I continued to work on finding answers, my frustration grew. So many doors were closed, so little participation and hardly any communication with other groups. I wanted to take on these issues, talk about them and bring them to the surface. We need to acknowledge as a society that there are problems with our habits, attitudes and procedures. Are we so afraid to face the monster in the closet?
Discussing these problems may help us to tame the beast. What the ghost hunting community lacks is the unity, standards, and a force in helping us all find a common truth to the unknown. We do need to come together, build upon each other's knowledge and learn what each one of us can offer the community. Because if we are so afraid of the monsters in our closets, then how can we face the challenge of ghosts in our homes?
