FIREFIGHTERS have today issued notice of further strike action claiming that the Government has not improved their pension proposals.
Union chiefs say the current plans "unworkable" meaning that firefighters will still face dismissal because they cannot maintain the physical fitness levels for the role until they are 60.
They say that if firefighters opt for early retirement the reduction in their pension would be "unacceptably high".
Matt Wrack general secretary of the FBY said: "It is absolutely ludicrous that a Government can impose a scheme which means that firefighters will have to ride engines and rescue people from fires up to age 60.
"This is unsafe and unrealistic for both firefighters and the public. We know it and the public know it but the Government will not listen to the evidence based case we have made to them."
They said that the government has costed proposals for firefighters to retire aged 55 but has not offered these plans for consideration.
This would mean say unions that firefighters taking early retirement would get a reduced pension but less than they would under current proposals.
Sean Starbuck FBU national officer said: "It's extremely disappointing that we have had to issue more strike dates but the government are simply not listening to our concerns.
"We have a new fire minister but to date she doesn't appear to have listened to our case.
"The government still has an opportunity to improve their offer which could avoid the need for action.
"Firefighters are angry as the Westminster government claims we don't want to resolve this dispute.
"This is absurd as the situation both in Scotland and N Ireland shows this is simply not the case."
The strikes will take place for eight days from Saturday 9 August until Saturday 16 August between 12pm and 2pm and 10.59pm to 11.59pm.

(Updated from 9:49 a.m. EDT to reflect additional analyst commentaries in the third paragraph and EA's EA Access partnership announcement with Microsoft in the seventh paragraph)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The prevailing impression is that as smartphones and tablets have burst onto the gaming scene, the era of console domination has become a thing of the past.
While the challenge is real, the view is exaggerated, especially for Microsoft (MSFT) and Sony (SNE) and their development partners.
"I disagree that the console will decline that much," says Ascendiant Capital Markets analyst Ed Woo. He predicts an uptick in overall industry sales as the launch of the next versions of the PlayStation and Xbox offset waning old-gen system sales, which started with the launch of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in late 2013. Woo is foreseeing flat sales in five-years time, rather than a steep decline ahead of the next refresh. Even Juniper Research analyst Sam Smith estimates that PC and console games together will still account for over 50% of total game industry revenues over the next five years, despite forecasting a drop in combined annual sales to $41 billion by 2019, from $46.5 billion in 2014. "Juniper expects there will be a 9th generation of consoles," stresses Smith.
Read More: Sony PlayStation Beats Microsoft Xbox One For Fifth Straight Month
Electronic Arts (EA) recently gave a bullish outlook and strong quarterly results that Woo anticipates for other console-based video game makers such as Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO) and Activision Blizzard (ATVI). EA also revealed today the all-new monthly or annual EA Access membership in partnership with Microsoft, which unlocks The Vault collection of EA's biggest games exclusively on the Xbox One, ready for gamers to download and play. The service, which starts at $4.99 a month, is being rolled out in beta to a limited number of players today, but will launch for everyone on the Xbox One soon.
Nintendo (NTDOY) is the only exception to Woo's upbeat outlook, as the company is bearing the brunt of the shift in casual and mobile console games to phones and tablets.
On top of console innovation, companies like Microsoft (MSFT) and Sony (SNE) are also expected to use their vast resources to tap into video game streaming as a missing link in the defense of their entertainment ecosystems. Cloud gaming is expected to plug holes in Microsoft and Sony's entertainment portfolios as games factor more and more prominently into the revenue streams of tech giants Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG).
"Two or three years ago, the hype was that cloud gaming was going to replace the console," says IHS senior games analyst Christine Arrington. "But our perspective is it's critical for the PlayStation and Xbox brands to compete." By having a streaming option, Sony and Microsoft can extend the PlayStation and Xbox environments to a variety of devices beyond the living room, helping them keep their toeholds in the market.
Gartner research director Brian Blau says once video game streaming is up and running, it will become both a "cornucopia" for gamers and a lucrative path for the big console-makers and publishers. With the service, there will be a revival of older games that sees players enjoying flexible access to "nostalgic" titles that were popular or well-rated, and underrated games that are long overdue for some recognition. Gamers will be able to play the older games not only on all-purpose devices, but also on newer consoles. The older games would be made available only after a highly-selective process funneling to users only the games that are most important to them; they would help ensure continuous, long-term monetization. The library would also gradually become more sophisticated as demand drives the publishers and their developer partners to dedicate resources to coding future games for cloud-compatibility, allowing them to avoid anything similar to the current situation where some older games are in need of recoding or can't be recoded at all for the cloud.
Blau says he believes as long as premiums are at reasonable levels, consumers would be willing to pay extra for easy access to their favorite, older games. He notes also that third-party developers have the incentive to work on streaming services with the big publishers in their search for "found money." Sony has already begun testing consumer price sensitivity through its PlayStation Now beta.
"Gamers have been waiting for something like this," says Blau.

wikiHow to Bedazzle Your Sneakers
Three Methods:Bedazzling with GlitterBedazzling with Crystals and RhinestonesTrying Other Creative IdeasCommunity Q&A
Transform a pedestrian pair of white sneakers into something unique and special using some simple craft materials like Mod Podge, glitter and crystals. This craft will not only produce fashionable shoes, it's also a great activity for parties and sleepovers! Start with Step 1 below to begin bedazzling your sneakers!
Bedazzling with Glitter
1Gather your supplies. To make these glitter sneakers, you will need a pair of sneakers, some fine glitter (in the color or colors of your choice), a pot of glitter paint, a paintbrush, a roll of painter's tape and a pot of Modge Podge.
2Prepare your sneakers. Make sure your sneakers are completely clean, or else use a brand new pair of sneakers for this project.
- If you're using an old pair of fabric or canvas, consider putting them in the washing machine. If they are not machine washable, use a damp cloth to remove as much dirt as possible.
- Remove the laces from the sneakers, then take the painter's tape and use to it to cover up any areas of the shoe you don't want to bedazzle -- such as the rubber sole and the tongue.
3Mix the glitter paint and loose glitter. Pour a large drop of glitter paint onto a paper plate, then sprinkle the loose glitter on top.
- Mix with a paintbrush or lollipop stick until you achieve a slightly grainy consistency -- but don't allow the paint to become too chunky or dry.
- If necessary, add more of the glitter or paint until you achieve the right consistency.
4Begin painting the shoes. Take a paintbrush and dip it in the glittery paint. Place your free hand inside the shoe to hold it up, then start painting!
- Try to apply a thin, even layer of the paint over the entire shoe. If you pile it on too thickly, the paint may take a very long time to dry. Once you have finished painting the first shoe, do the same with the second.
- Remember that you can always paint an extra layer of glitter paint once the original layer has dried. It's better to apply several thin layers than a single thick coat.
5Apply a layer of Modge Podge. Once the layer or layers of glitter paint have dried completely, take the bottle of Modge Podge and pour a large drop onto a paper plate. Take a clean paintbrush and start applying it to the sneakers.
- The Modge Podge will seal the glitter (making sure it doesn't fall off) and add shine to the sneakers. Don't worry if it looks white at first, it will turn clear once it dries.
- Leave the shoes to dry overnight, then reinsert the laces and enjoy your new glitter shoes!
6Try some variations. Once you have the basic method down, you can experiment with a few different variations of this glitter technique.
- Use different color glitters: Instead of just using a single color glitter on your sneakers, you could experiment with mixing glitters and paints to create a cool, multi-toned sparkle. Think about mixing pink and purple glitters with silver paint, or red and orange glitter with gold paint. You could even mix all seven colors of the rainbow!
- Create an ombre effect: Another good idea is to create an ombre effect by using three complimentary colors of glitter and fading them into each other. Mix each color glitter with paint on a separate plate, then use the first color glitter to paint 1/3 of the shoe, from the heel forwards. Once that layer is dry, use a clean paintbrush to paint the second color glitter on the next 1/3 of the shoe, starting about 1/2 an inch behind where the first color ended. Do the same with the third color, painting all the way to the toe. [1]
- Use stencils: Instead of painting the entire shoe with glitter, you could use stencils to create glittery designs and patterns on your sneakers. Press plastic or fabric stencils onto the shoe, or create your own using painters tape. With this technique, you can create pretty shimmering butterflies, stars, hearts, flowers, skulls -- anything you like!
7Experiment with an alternative technique. Instead of painting the glittery glue onto the shoes, you could try sprinkling it instead!
- All you need are a pair of canvas sneakers, a bottle of fabric glue, some fine, loose glitter, a pot of Modge Podge and a paintbrush.
- Paint a layer of fabric glue onto the canvas parts of a clean pair of sneakers (with the laces removed). Hold the sneakers over a sheet of newspaper and start sprinkling the loose glitter directly onto the glue.
- You'll need to work quickly, to ensure that the glue doesn't dry. Once you have cover the sneakers in a layer of glitter, give them a gentle shake to remove any excess.
- Paint a layer of Modge Podge over the sneakers to seal the glitter and add shoes. Leave the shoes to dry overnight before reinserting the laces and wearing.[2]
Bedazzling with Crystals and Rhinestones
1Gather your supplies. To bedazzle your sneakers with crystals or rhinestones you will need:
- A packet of flatback crystals or rhinestones. How many you need will depend on how much of the surface of the shoes you intend to cover.
- A tube of e6000 adhesive. This is a very strong craft adhesive which will prevent your rhinestones or crystals from coming loose. It should only be used in a well-ventilated room.
- A jewel setter. This is a small plastic stick which has a ball of wax on one end. It is used to easily pick up and set small jewels during craft projects. If you you don't have a jewel setter, you can use a pair of tweezers.
- You will also need a piece of sandpaper (or an emery board), some rubbing alcohol, a clean cloth and a pair of sneakers.
2Prepare the sneakers. Although you can apply crystals or rhinestones to any part of the sneaker you like, only applying them to the rubber toe of Converse-like tennis shoes creates a very cool, designer-style effect. However, in order to do this, you will first need to prepare the rubber:
- Take the piece of sandpaper or emery board and rub the toe of your sneaker for a minute or two. This roughs up the surface of the rubber, creating a better surface for the adhesive to bond to.
- Take the clean cloth and dip it in the rubbing alcohol. Rub the cloth over the sanded rubber toe to remove any rubber residue or dust. The alcohol will dry very quickly, so you can proceed with your crafting immediately!
3Start adding the crystals. Take the tube of e6000 and apply a thin line of adhesive around the toe of the sneakers, in a semi-circle from one edge of the fabric to the other. You should only work with a single line of adhesive at a time, as it dries very quickly.
- Open the pack of crystals and lay them out on the table beside you, shiny side up. Take the jewel setter and press it gently into a single crystal to pick it up (don't press too hard or it will become embedded in the wax).
- Press the crystal gently onto the prepared line of glue. Use the opposite (pointed) end of the jewel setter to press the crystal firmly onto the shoe. Continue adding more crystals along the line of glue, using the same technique.
4Continue adding crystals. Add a second semicircle of glue just inside the first row of crystals, then add a second row. Continue in this fashion until the entire toe of the sneaker is covered in crystals.
- Once you have finished with the first sneaker, repeat the process with the second one. Then leave the adhesive to set for 15 to 20 minutes.
- You can use the same technique to add crystals or rhinestones to any part of the sneaker you like -- you bedazzle the entire shoe, or use carefully placed crystals to create stars, hearts and other patterns.
5Buff the crystals or rhinestones. If you used the jewel setter, your crystals or rhinestones may look dull rather than shiny.
- This is because they are covered in a layer of wax. Take a clean, dry cloth and use it to buff the crystals until they are clean and shiny.
- Don't worry if any of the crystals come loose -- just apply another dot of adhesive and stick on a new crystal.[3]
Trying Other Creative Ideas
1Replace your laces. Changing your laces can completely change the style of your sneakers. Purchase some wacky patterned laces, dye a pair of white laces your favorite color, or replace your normal laces with some pretty ribbons.
2Splatter paint your shoes. Take a pair of plain black or white sneakers and a selection of neon colored fabric paints. Dip a clean paintbrush in each individual color and use it to flick the paint onto the sneakers.
3Embroider fabric sneakers. Take a chenille needle and some pearl cotton thread and use it to embroider pretty patterns onto your fabric sneakers. You'll need to learn some basic stitching techniques, but otherwise this craft project is super easy!
4Paint them. Another very simple way to jazz up your sneakers is just to paint them with fabric paint. You can use a block color, paint alternating stripes, or create a cool geometric design. Use small, thin-tipped paint brushes for greater control.
5Tie dye them. For a cool psychedelic effect, try tie dyeing a pair of white fabric sneakers. For more detailed instructions on how to tie dye fabric, see this article.
6Sew on buttons and beads. You can easily embellish a pair of fabric sneakers by sewing on buttons and beads. You can create a polka dot effect by sewing the buttons or beads on at even intervals all over the shoe, or you can create beaded patterns and pictures.[4]
7Write on them. Take a black permanent marker with a thin nib and use it to write on draw on your sneakers. You can write individual words like "peace" or "love", write out the lyrics of your favorite song or poem, or even get all your friends to sign their names!
Community Q&A
Do I have to have sneakers for it?wikiHow ContributorIt would be a good idea to use sneakers but tennis shoes or other canvas style shoes would work too.
If I use a stencil, are there any special techniques?wikiHow ContributorBuy a special stencil that is meant for paint and then just take your time to get the best results.
Instead of using Mod Podge can I use a waterproof spray?wikiHow ContributorProbably not because Mod Podge is used to create a seal to make it look shiny, while waterproof spray just waterproofs it.
Where can you get a blank pair of sneakers like that?
How to get the cap off a well
My shoes already have a rough texture. Do I still need to buff them?
Do you have the full video?
- Be sure that once you pick this style of color and paint, you won't be embarrassed or nervous to show it off! Have fun with it.
- Allow up to 48 hours for shoes to dry for best results.
- Add a layer of Scotchguard to your shoes to protect them from the elements.
- Be sure to read the product label or instructions so that when you wash it, all your hard work is not gone.
- If you are doing this craft for a child's/teen's party, make sure you get all of the guests' shoe sizes so everyone has a pair of shoes that fit properly.
- Adding a line of stitchery around the sneakers can bedazzle them nicely, especially if you use bright or metallic thread. If you are an experienced sewer, consider sewing with an interesting pattern to improve the whole appearance of the shoes.

Dunedin to get new fire station, but will pay more
The good news: Dunedin is finally getting a replacement firehouse.
The bad news: Even after rejecting original contractor bids because they came in a half-million dollars too high, the new station will still cost the city roughly $400,000 more than architects originally estimated.
Even so, city engineer Tom Burke says what will ultimately be a $1.95 million contract with CRS Building Corp. of St. Petersburg is a good price for market conditions.
Designers, sent back to the drawing board by city commissioners, swapped out a few building materials in an effort to lower the price.
But City Manager Rob DiSpirito said the raised cost couldn't be avoided because the cost of construction has gone up in the 18 or so months since architects drew up blueprints. Other factors that he said increased the price: reluctance of contractors to lower prices in this improving economy, cost differences between Dunedin and the region where the original estimate was made, and additions to the project, such as an upgraded vehicle exhaust system.

I'm an assistant professor in the Social and Personality area of the Psychology Department at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
I study political psychology, social ecology, and intergroup conflict. I am currently studying how people's moral, political, and religious ideologies steer them into segregated ideological enclaves -- into "Red" and "Blue" communities -- and how this enhances individual well-being and intragroup cooperation, while exacerbating intergroup conflict. I am a political psychologist (or, a psychological political scientist) and I blog about it at PsychoPolitics.
I also apply research in the "real world." To do this, my colleagues (namely Jon Haidt and Ravi Iyer) and I created CivilPolitics.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on evidence-based methods for improving intergroup civility. Together, we help community organizations understand what social psychological interventions are most likely to improve intergroup civility and then help them develop measurement tools to assess the effectiveness of those interventions.

About MeI'm a 21 year old photography student currently located in Orlando, Florida, while on break from school at Daytona State College in Daytona Beach.
Most of my experience in modeling comes from shooting with my fellow students and from doing so.. I found that it came to me easily. I'm a trained dancer in many styles so that probably has some influence in it, as well as experience in acting. I can offer a variety of expressions and poses from that background experience.
Pretty much I'm looking for paid assignments even though I dont have any set rates currently. Bid and I'll see, I guess. I will never shoot nudes or lingerie for that matter. I will always bring an escort for safety on all shoots.
Dont hesitate to contact via email or model mayhem if you want to schedule anything or ask any questions.

Education Assembly Report from ALA Boston, January 2005
Education Assembly Meeting, ALA Midwinter Meeting 2005
Hynes Convention Center 201, Boston MA
Monday, January 17, 2005 11:30-12:30
Report to GODORT
Karen Hogenboom, Education Assembly Liaison
Much of this meeting was devoted to reports from liaisons. When informed that the GODORT Education Committee is discussing competencies for government information specialists, other liaisons had suggestions for models from other ALA divisions, and suggested that we send our competencies to ALISE once they are developed and approved. Another possible resource is the ALA Clearinghouse for Continuing Education, www.ala.org/ceclearinghouse.
RUSA is developing courses for continuing education credit on subjects like geneology and basic business reference. A class on the reference interview is happening soon. YALSA is also developing online contining education.
The chair announced that there will be a "conference within a conference" for support staff in conjunction with the 2005 annual conference.A representative from ALA's Office of Diversity stated that support staff is losing racial diversity, and we must include staff in professional development activities in order to increase retention. Results from a survey of support staff are being evaluated; there seems to be quite a bit of interest in certification of support staff.

text: "Even the most terrible, amateurish animation is time-consuming and mind-numbingly tedious," cartoonist Walt Holcombe states on the web site for his engaging cartoon short "The Courtship Of Sniffy LaPants." Presumably he's talking about making animation, not watching it, though the quote works either way. But he may be forgetting that only a few decades ago, that tedious process would also have been mind-bogglingly expensive and virtually impossible outside of a well-equipped professional studio. Holcombe's fluid, beautifully colored cartoon owes its existence to Macromedia's Flash, among other increasingly popular software, and it proves that amateur animation has an increasingly sophisticated future. "Sniffy" stands out as one of the best and most accomplished segments of God Hates Cartoons, a compilation of short (in some cases, almost microscopically short) animated bits by underground and independent cartoonists. In keeping with the source material, many of the pieces are unsettling and even disgusting: Ivan Brunetti's "Diaper Dyke And Captain Boyfuck" series channels all the stomach-turning vitriol of Brunetti's Schizo without gaining much in the minimal animation process, while Lance Myers' "Gutsman" is mostly an excuse for a bloody-corpse montage. Some of the roster's best-known names contribute pieces that are mostly proof-of-concept experiments: Seeing Tony Millionaire's elaborately drawn, morbidly whimsical Maakies in color and motion is a pleasant novelty, but the animation is jumpy and simple, and the jarring endings seem more abrupt in animation than they do on the printed page. Similarly, the two vignettes from Kaz's Underworld are fluid and hypnotic, but conclude almost before they can register. Only "Sniffy LaPants" and "Whimgrinder"a surreal, black-and-white snippet from Jim Woodring's Frank which strongly recalls old Betty Boop and Felix The Cat shortsstand out as cartoons in their own right, rather than experimental echoes of established work. Another recent compilation DVD follows a similar pattern: The material on Flash Frames, a showreel-style collection of Flash animation snippets from a diverse range of sources and companies, tends to be similarly short and experimental. But Flash Frames contains more than twice as much material as God Hates Cartoons, as if to compensate for the lack of familiar names. Some of Flash Frames' bits are amateur web-toons, while others double as professional ads or music videos for artists from DJ Spooky to Todd Rundgren. The art styles and quality run the gamut; again, many of the pieces are brief experiments, while others tell stories with a mordant underground vibe. Surrealism and abstract artiness abound, as do profanity and sick humor. But by collecting more than two hours of brief, stylized pieces in one neatly organized package, the DVD all but ensures that no one piece will stand out. Instead, the lasting impression is of Flash's usefulness to amateur animators, and its versatility, which seems limited only by the speed at which its users run out of time or give in to the "mind-numbing tedium" and start cutting corners.

Less than two weeks after the Gov. Jerry Brown signed the state budget into law, tax collections are already falling behind projections.
State Controller John Chiang released data this week that shows California collected $351 million less in May and June than the governor and Legislature had anticipated.
The budget was balanced in part on an assumption that the state would receive $1.2 billion above initial projections for May and June. On Monday, Chiang said the state received only $849 million of the $1.2 billion in additional cash.
Chiang spokesman Jacob Roper told the Sacramento Bee "We don't have a detailed cash flow (of Brown's budget) to break it down. We can't look at it and say whether it was softness in corporate tax refunds or excise taxes or withholdings being down."
The Bee also noted that "It's important to keep in mind that this is only negative news relative to optimistic assumptions that lawmakers relied upon to close the deficit. The state did take in more money than analysts projected earlier this year, as well as $1 billion, or 9 percent, more than in June 2010."

Upstart film studio JuntoBox Films has chosen the next project it will develop from its unique fan and filmmaker social community. George Richards' The Driver will be the fifth feature developed by JuntoBox, co-chair Forest Whitaker announced today at Film Independent's LA Film Festival. Pic follows a down on his luck boxer turned getaway driver left with a dead partner and a duffle bag of cash after a heist gone wrong. Alex Ardenti will direct. JuntoBox, founded in 2012 with a focus on microbudgeted feature films sourced from its community and offering mentorship and distribution services to its network of filmmakers, just wrapped Sacrifice starring Dermot Mulroney and Melora Walters. This summer the studio will choose a comedy project, followed by an action/sci-fi pic in September and a horror film in November.

BELTON — In a three-minute span, Belton turned its season around. It also threw Copperas Cove for a loop.
The Tigers, who entered the game with two district losses, desperately needed to knock off the Bulldawgs to keep themselves in the hunt for a playoff berth. After trailing 21-7 at halftime, the Belton duo of quarterback Peter Shelburne and receiver Durham Smythe combined to score two touchdowns before Brandon Rhoads added another on the Tigers' first three possessions of the second half to take a 28-21 lead en route to a 35-31 win.
While the victory keeps the Tigers' postseason hopes alive, it also gives Copperas Cove its second consecutive loss, dropping it to 2-2 in District 8-5A play after losing to Waco Midway last week.
Despite the loss, Bulldawgs (4-3, 2-2) coach Jack Welch believes his team can learn from the experience.
"They had a hiccup (against Harker Heights) earlier in the year, and I think they learned from it," Welch said. "They also had some players out, and they are back to full strength and playing well. But I thought our kids played well enough to win tonight.
"We are going to get better because of this ball game. We are not out of anything. We've just got to make sure we get better because of it."
The Bulldawgs were forced to play the game without District 8-5A's leading rusher Vondareaz King, who missed the game for personal reasons.
With King sidelined, the Bulldawgs turned to senior running back Daniel Ruff to carry the load, accounting for a game-high 126 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries.
"You've got to play the players who are ready to go, you never have control of those things," Welch said.
Momentum completely switched hands in the third quarter after Copperas Cove punted on its opening possession, setting up a 54-yard scoring drive for Belton (5-2, 2-2) as Shelburne and Smythe connected for their first touchdown of the game.
The Tigers then recovered an on-side kick to set up another short scoring drive as Shelburne and Smyth combined for their second touchdown in 45 seconds, tying the game at 21 with 7:03 remaining.
Welch, however, disagreed with the recovery.
"We thought it got touched (before going 10 yards)," Welch said. "Our players saw it and felt like they couldn't touch it because it only went 9 yards. But I know you can only control what you do. Those things happen sometimes."
Copperas Cove went three-and-out on the ensuring drive and Belton took over at its own 41 following a punt. Three plays later, Rhoads found the end zone on a 30-yard run, and the Tigers held a 28-21 lead with 4:56 left in the quarter.
The Bulldawgs cut the lead to four points, 28-24, following a 25-yard field goal from Issac Ogeda before reclaiming the lead on quarterback Robbie Seybold's 23-yard touchdown pass to Rashaun Gibson early in the fourth quarter, but Shelburne scored the game-winning touchdown on a 2-yard run with 2:46 remaining, and the Bulldawgs responded with a turnover on downs.
"The third quarter was the big thing," Belton coach Rodney Southern said. "We executed better on offense and tackled better, much better."
Copperas Cove struck first after recovering a fumble on the second snap of the opening drive and Ruff covered 28 yards in four carries, including a 5-yard touchdown run.
Later in the quarter, Seybold capped a seven-play, 53-yard drive with a 1-yard sneak into the end zone, giving the Bulldawgs a 14-0 lead with 1:29 left in the first quarter.
The Tigers responded with a scoring drive spanning into the early minutes of the second quarter as sophomore Shane Stafford broke free for a 36-yard touchdown run to make it 14-7.
But it took the Bulldawgs less than two minutes to push their lead back to double digits. Copperas Cove never faced a third down, 55 yards in seven plays, with Ruff's 3-yard touchdown punctuating the drive to give the Bulldawgs a 21-7 advantage with 8:25 remaining in the first half. Ruff posted 97 yards in the first half.
The Bulldawgs defense generated an important stop on the ensuing drive, stuffing the Tigers on four consecutive plays after Shelburne connected with Andre Ewing on a 54-yard pass down to Copperas Cove's 1-yard line. The score remained the same going into halftime after the teams exchanged punts and Seybold took a knee to run out the clock.

Stirring Up Successful Souffle Batters
Properly preparing the batter is one of the keys to creating a standout souffle. Follow these tips for a distinctive dish guests are sure to fall for!
When separating eggs, make sure no yolks get into the egg whites, or they won't beat properly.
Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before beating. They will expand more than cold egg whites and will give you better volume.
Be sure that the beaters and bowl are clean and dry before they touch the whites.
When beaten, the whites should be just firm enough to form and hold a stiff peak when the beaters are lifted.
When adding the egg whites to the yolk base, first fold in a third of the egg whites until blended. Then fold in the remaining whites just until combined.

Yankton, SD Stainless Steel Cabinets
Certain environments, such as laboratories and hospitals, require a very specific material for storage and work spaces to ensure ease of use and cleaning. Stainless steel cabinets are an ideal solution for these particular environments due to their wide range of benefits and flexibility of design.
Stainless steel cabinets are optimal for environments that must be sterile, easy to clean, and resistant to daily abuses. The non-porous surface of stainless steel cabinets make them extremely easy to clean, perfect for sterile storage, and effective in areas where liquids are often used or areas subjected to high humidity. This non-porous material greatly helps to prevent germs from spreading. Not only does stainless steel prevent dirt and grime from collecting, but it is also a very rugged material that possesses unparalleled strength and corrosion-resistance.
The Perfect Solution for Practically Every Space
The beauty of stainless steel storage cabinets is often that they can be adapted for many uses other than just storage. The design of stainless steel cabinets can be modified to include sinks, ample counter space, adjustable shelves, self-closing drawers and any number of bells and whistles to make the space work for you. In addition, stainless steel cabinet systems can be modular and self-supporting which means they can be reused, reconfigured, and relocated whenever a change needs to be made. This range of flexibility will keep costs down for your facility and allows for change whenever it's required.
Since stainless steel storage cabinets are completely customizable, we can work closely with personnel, architects, contractors, etc. in order to design the most useful system for your space. Common uses for a flexible, sterile, and durable material like stainless steel often includes lab cabinets and countertops, hospital cabinets and countertops, and storage for commercial businesses. Stainless steel is especially fitting for critical environments like operating rooms, cleanrooms, animal facilities, temperature-controlled rooms, morgues, and autopsy labs. Ultimately, stainless steel cabinets are well-suited for a wide range fields such as photo labs or food labs and even radioactive, biological, agricultural, and petroleum applications. The flexibility and benefits of stainless steel cabinet systems is unmatched, especially for spaces that demand a particularly defined environment.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/7/2013 (1497 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For the last two years, city firefighters have lacked the manpower to routinely inspect rooming houses.
But this fall, house-by-house inspections are expected to begin again, which could trigger a surge in the number of rooming houses ordered closed for violating the fire code.
"When we go into a rooming house that we haven't been into for a few years, the owners are usually not maintaining what they're supposed to," said senior fire inspector Janet Bier. "We often go in to find the fire-alarm system is not working, and it may have been like that for the last year."
Or tenants have pulled smoke detectors off the ceiling, eliminating their first line of defence in case of fire.
In the last two years alone, there have been at least nine fires in Winnipeg rooming houses, including one that killed five people.
Rooming houses are a nightmare scenario for firefighters. They are old, poorly maintained buildings with warrens of rooms inside. There may be a dozen or more residents, many of whom suffer from mental illness, addictions or hoarding that make it tough to rescue them.
For the last two years, rooming houses have been inspected only after a complaint. The city's 12 inspectors have had to cope with an avalanche of new work mandated by the provincial government. New regulations say city fire inspectors must inspect daycares, nursing homes and hospitals annually to ensure they meet the fire code.
Rooming houses fell off the radar.
But complaints kept flooding in. In the five years ending in 2012, the fire department received a whopping 900 complaints about possible code violations in converted dwellings. Nearly all were legitimate.
"It's very rare that we respond to a complaint that's not valid," said Bier.
Here's the hitch that plagues rooming-house regulations: No one agrees what counts as a rooming house and several different provincial and city departments are responsible for them, making it remarkably easy for rooming houses to fall through the cracks.
The city licenses 184 rooming houses, with another 50 under review. But that figure comes nowhere close to the hundreds of rooming houses experts estimate exist in the city.
When city fire inspectors hit the streets this fall, they will have a list of between 600 and 700 dwellings to inspect.
Not all are traditional rooming houses -- some are converted single-family homes where tenants share bathrooms or kitchens, or both. Firefighters also inspect houses that have been converted into self-contained apartments.
Meanwhile, city bylaw inspectors handle complaints related to the neighbourhood livability bylaw -- overgrown weeds, collapsing front-steps, rats and many other issues.
It's not clear how many cleanup orders the city has issued for rooming houses in recent years.
Provincial health inspectors are called in for serious health problems such as mould or sewer backups. Health inspectors have issued no orders in the last year against rooming houses.
Fire violations are the most serious, and landlords are typically given 24 hours to get an alarm system working, an exit unblocked or some other violation fixed. At most, a landlord might have a week before fire inspectors shut a rooming house and remove the tenants.
"We want immediate action on those things," said Bier.
The city has shut parts or all of nine converted dwellings for serious fire-code violations in the last two years, including one on Atlantic Avenue that lacked smoke alarms, working exit signs and fire-alarm system and whose fire extinguishers needed servicing.

Good eve (or probably day figuring a lot of people here probably reside in the U.S.) gents of the AoM community.
Name's Alexander, I'm from Rhineland Palatinate in Southwestern Germany and I have been reading articles on this site for over a year now and decided to join this little savvy community as I'd reckon it would attract other likeminded people and there'd possibly some additional constructive information on all things manly.
As of now I'm working on getting my "Abitur" which is vaguely similar to your undergrads in terms of qualification so I will quite possibly enroll in Uni next year - I'm aiming for business law (actually a little more specialized study program that would probably translate to "corporate defense lawyer/house counsel").
I hope to do a foreign semester in either the U.S. or Canada (tendency towards the U.S. as of right now) - both for the experience and because I plan to move overseas within the next 6 years. Mainly because I don't feel at home here and because I'd like to live in an English speaking place as - as odd as this may sound - prefer English over German. If anybody would happen to have any constructive advice I'd appreciate it!
Apart from this ambitious pursuit I like to spend my free time educating myself/reading, taking walks, cooking, photography and music and if opportunity arises travelling.
Looking forward to some manly and (hopefully) constructive discussions!

AbstractAn Advanced Microgravity Compatible, Integrated laundry System (AMCILS) is proposed that uses a two phase water / water vapor system to allow good agitation of clothing during the wash & rinse cycle. Drying will be accomplished utilizing microwave energy addition and "jet" air flow to fluff and move clothing in the washing chamber. Operation in a two phase water / water vapor system precludes the formation of sustainable foam in the wash effluent while allowing adequate volume for agitation of clothing in a weightless environment while using a minimum amount of water. Drying using air "jets" and microwave addition was proven during micro-gravity testing performed in the Single Phase Space Laundry Phase II program (NASA contract No. NAS9-18362, Jan. 1993) The Phase II effort will build upon the successful Phase I feasibility demonstration of the AMCIL concept and result in delivery of a working AMCIL prototype whose performance will be thoroughly characterized and delivered to NASA for independent testing. The AMCIL promises a reduction in ESM associated with crew clothing on long duration missions through the reduction of expendables. Clothing can be re-used which minimizes ESM associated with storage of new clothing, and waste storage associated with used clothing.

Boise's Watergate
University Place and All The Governor's Men
Deep Throat II
Chapter 4 - Shark Frenzy
Watergate wasn't a boating accident either. It was a shark-frenzy for
public education tax money. And guess what, taxpayers? You're the
bait." – Deep
Throat II
when you thought it was safe to buy Idaho public education bonds, JAWS jumps
into the picture. Was Boise's Watergate just a simple little boating
accident? I think not. Allan Garten, the Oregon U.S. Attorney for
white-collar crime, on loan to Idaho, may soon discover enough evidence to
reiterate what Richard Dreyfus said in the first JAWS movie, "This is not a
boat accident, it wasn't any propeller, it wasn't any coral reef, and it
wasn't Jack the Ripper. It was a shark."
I agree. A lot of
lawyer sharks were trolling for education money in Boise's Watergate
fiasco. I predict a grand jury will convene in 2005 and draw the same
conclusion as the Mayor in JAWS movie # 1, "Now I want those little
money-happy bastards caught and hung up by their Buster Browns."
Let's look at two major
areas in the Boise Watergate shark frenzy: money and conflict of interest.

I love this perfume! My go-to perfume!I got this perfume as a gift, and I also received with it three travel-sized glass bottles of it for my purse and travel luggage bags as well as a cute little hand-held blue mirror shaped like the perfume bottle! I must say, though, that this is an absolutely beautiful scent! I love how light and airy it smells- not outdoorsy airy, but feminine-like airy :) It is a whimsical and young scent, so fo...read morer older women who are looking for a strong and "power-to-the-woman" kind of perfume, this is not it! However, for the shy girl who still wants to make an entrance, or the sweet flirty girl who loves to be seen, this is definitely a go-to for your "I don't know what scent to wear today" dilemmas! That's exactly what I use it for! I usually use this for everyday wear, and for special occasions such as dates with my fiance or holiday gatherings I will wear Guess Gold and up my anti! For women who are looking for a stronger, bolder and more strengthening scent I suggest Queen by Queen Latifah - I will be reviewing that, too, as I received that set of perfume and body lotion as a gift as well! While I absolutely love experimenting with perfumes and scents, I seem to always want to come back to Fairy Dust for a step into a magical, whimsical setting! :) — 5 years, 9 months agoKathrynMarie | 4 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
I'm calling this one "Winter storage," but that's really not the story. I don't store my stuff for the winter like a lot of guys do, but I do cut down on the tackle in my boat and use the cold weather to organize and refresh everything for the next year. If you take the winter off — or don't go fishing much — you can do what I do.
Before we get started on just what it is that I do, I want to remind everyone that we've talked about how to do things with your tackle in other Master Series lessons. They cover everything in more detail than I can do here. You should reread them.
The very first thing to do is to get rid of moisture. There's nothing that's as hard on equipment as water. I know that sounds crazy. We use our tackle in water. But that's the way it is, and we have to deal with it. Open everything up and let it dry out.
While I'm doing that, I unpack everything in my boat. That gives me a chance to clean my storage compartments and check things over. I put all my stuff in the garage where I can work on it for a few hours each day. That's important. You don't want to get in a hurry and get sloppy.
I check all my rods and reels first. I always clean and put fresh oil in the reels. If you're uncomfortable with doing that yourself you can take them to a repair shop somewhere. They'll charge you money, though. I look over my rods, too, and make whatever repairs need to be made. I have rods and reels that are six years old and they still work as good as new because I take care of them.
After that I turn my attention to my lures, especially the ones with hard bodies. I check everything — bodies, props, bills and hooks. If anything's wrong, I fix it right away. I don't always mess with the hooks, though. Some of my lures have bad hooks on them on purpose. I use them for practice when I don't really want to catch the fish, but I change my hooks on my tournament baits.
This is also a great time to customize. You don't have to just fix bad spots on the body. You can make new colors and finishes, create stuff the fish haven't seen and that the other guys don't have. And you can change the bills at the same time. I sometimes make the bills on my crankbaits thinner or more pointed. They wiggle different that way.
I also repaint my jigs, even if they don't look like they need it. A fresh coat of powder will make a lot of difference sometimes. After you do that you can change the skirts if you want, but that's up to you. They don't always need it.
Once all that's finished, you can repack your boat. You always want to be ready to go fishing. You never know when they might be biting.
Don't worry too much about leaving everything out in the cold. I do it all the time and have never had a problem. Nothing has ever broken or exploded when I left it outside in the cold, or anything. The only exception is my line. I'm not comfortable with leaving it out in the cold.
Freezing is especially hard on fluorocarbon. I always put it in the garage or someplace in the house that's cool. And, I keep my line in the dark. I take it out just before I leave to go fishing and put it back as soon as I come in off the water.
The old saying that if you take care of your tackle it'll take care of you is true. If you get a chance to go fishing this winter you don't want to waste a lot of time messing around with your tackle.

Jaguars DE Andre Branch out six weeks with torn groin muscle
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Andre Branch will be out at least six weeks with a torn groin muscle, the team announced Monday.
Branch suffered the injury during the Jaguars' 24-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Linebacker Paul Posluszny also left the game and was placed on injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle that will require surgery this week.
"Any time you have injuries to guys that are playing well, it stings you a little bit," Jaguars' head coach Gus Bradley told reporters.
Branch was drafted by the Jaguars with the 38th overall selection in the second round of the 2012 draft. As a rookie, Branch had 12 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 13 games. He started every game last season, finishing with 37 tackles and six sacks. Branch has 13 tackles, three sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery through seven games this season.
The Jaguars won their first game of the season Sunday against the Browns. They travel to Miami in Week 8 to face the Dolphins (3-3).

Mintage of only 13,000 coins!
This 1/2 oz, .9999 fine Silver $4 coin was designed by Canadian artist Kerri Burnett. The image of a fossilized Euoplocephalus skeleton accentuates the heavily armored spikes of this tough looking prehistoric creature. A selective finish has been applied to the reverse of the coin to give its design an aged, fossil-like appearance. In fact, this technique ensures no two coins are exactly alike. The design was developed in close collaboration with paleontologists at Alberta's Royal Tyrell Museum. The obverse of the coin features the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, created by artist Susanna Blunt.
The entire head and body of the Euoplocephalus were covered with bands of armor, which allowed a surprising amount of flexibility. It was the first ankylosaurid (armored dinosaur) discovered with armored shutters that it could slide down to cover its eyelids! Each piece of armor was composed of a thick oval plate, embedded in the thick surrounding skin, which was studded with short spikes (dermal scutes, like those of crocodiles), which were about 4 to 6 inches long. In addition to the spines running down its back, Euoplocephalus had large horns growing from the back of its head. It also had a bony club at the end of its rigid tail. The tail was muscular so the club could be swung from side to side for defense. The stiff, low-slung dinosaur had poor teeth, so it probably would have grazed on fleshy low-lying vegetation.

You're not meant to judge a book by its cover, but that rule goes out the window with crime novels. Frequently the cover is the best part. It started with the pulp novels, which would put a lurid image with lots of cleavage and knives and looming death on the front in order to sell a cheap story. It worked. So much that the style has now been appropriated by 'proper' books. But not all crime novels have pulp covers. Some are modern and minimal, some solely text-based, but any good example needs a sense of intrigue and excitement.
Here's a gallery of some of the most spectacular covers in crime fiction, from the beautifully tacky to the just plain beautiful.

The waters of the Atlantic basin are already warmer than normal and weather forecasters are predicting record warm waters before the year is up.
That signals an active hurricane season, according The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center.
The NOAA issued its 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook on May 27.
The forecast calls for an 85 percent chance of an above-normal hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.
There's a rocking chair next to the fireplace in Bob and Fran Bundy's home.
But this isn't just any cane-bottomed antique.
It belonged to Fran's great- great-grandfather, David M. Johnston. Above the fireplace hangs a framed, hand-stitched South Carolina state flag that was a gift from a group of Barnwell students, given to David's grandson and Fran's grandfather, Horace Johnston Crouch.
Every one of the Bundy's antiques are personal mementos that weave a family story.
One cup of strawberries has only 55 calories. They are a great source of vitamin C, with eight strawberries providing 140 percent of the recommended daily intake for kids.
However, much of that vitamin C content can be destroyed when strawberries are prepared for eating through coming in contact with extreme heat or soaking in water too long. They are best eaten as soon as possible.
Strawberries have anti-inflammatory properties and are used by some to treat anemia, joint disease, hormone imbalances and to strengthen the circulatory system.

One must have a special eye to visualize the possibilities of a house and yard that have been left unattended for a period of time.
When Tony and Nancy Topf first spotted the house at 910 Forest Drive in Lancaster, they were able to see beyond the dense trees and a lawn covered in moss instead of grass.
They could even see potential that a house built in the 1950's would have, once it was painted, a neutral color to blend into the natural surroundings.
A debt of gratitude is owed to the 198 soldiers whose names are etched in bronze on the war memorial at Lancaster's Memorial Park, said Ernest Stroud.
Stroud, a Korean Conflict veteran and legislative chairman for the S.C. Disabled American Veterans and S.C. American Legion, didn't mince words Sunday during the county's 19th annual Memorial Day program.
Stroud said too many times politicians and those drawing government salaries tend to forget it's the war dead who gave their all to protect a way of life that we now enjoy.
A debt of gratitude is owed to 198 soldiers whose names are etched in bronze on the war memorial at Lancaster's Memorial Park, said Ernest Stroud.
Stroud, a Korean Conflict veteran and publicty chairman for DAV Chapter ???, said Lancaster's war dead gave their all to protect a way of life that we now enjoy.
And its been that way since April 6, 1917 when the United States entered World War I. Stroud said since in the last 93 years, more than 620,000 of America's sons and daughters have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
Many Americans view Memorial Day as the holiday that ushers in summer.
Others see it as the end of the school year and a time of pomp and circumstance that surrounds high school graduation.
For some, it is a holiday to rightfully honor the forgotten men and women who served and died to protect America's freedom.
But at least one woman – Sally Deese – sees Memorial Day weekend as a chance to say thank you to a group that's near and dear to her, and that's what she does through the Golden Age of Merit dinner.
Thrill, fill and spill.
No, those words aren't meant to describe the twists and turns of an amusement park ride or action adventure show.
It's a phrase that's become a popular way to describe grouping together various plants in one container to create an instant wow factor.

Green Builder® Media Celebrates Labor Day with Made in America Tips and Products for consumers interested in greening their lives
Aug 27, 2013, 15:30 ET from Green Builder Media
SEATTLE, Aug. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Builder Media's founder and sustainability expert Ron Jones explains that green living and products that are made in America go hand in hand on "The Daily Buzz," a nationally syndicated morning show featuring news, weather and entertainment.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130206/SF55317LOGO)
In the segment Jones emphasizes that consumers are already participating in the green home revolution, with indoor air quality, water management, and energy efficiency leading their list of concerns. Many of these educated consumers also understand the importance of investing in U.S.-made products and manufacturing facilities that support the American economy and limit harmful emissions into the atmosphere by reducing the miles products need to travel to get to consumers.
Jones points out the merits of two U.S.-produced products in his segment: One, Boral roofing, makers of Boral's clay tile roofing, qualifies as a cool roof, is fire resistant, Energy Star rated, 100% natural, and is recycled and recyclable.
A second product Jones recommends to consumers is Armstrong flooring, because not only are 90% of the company's products made in the United States, but the company also supports the efforts of Homes for Our Troops, a charity that helps disabled veterans. The company is particularly proud of its American Scrape line of flooring, which is affordable at $4 a square foot, and is reminiscent of reclaimed flooring of days gone by. The product is completely recyclable at the end of its life.
How does Jones and his company know green products? Because in addition to being a media company that covers green residential building, the company builds demonstration projects around the nation—the VISION House Series—to illustrate how to incorporate mainstream green products and systems for everyday sustainable living. The VISION House in Lake Buena Vista, FL, where the Daily Buzz segment was shot, is the ideal venue to highlight Made in America green products. U.S. made products in this exhibit include:
- Boral durable roof tiles, bricks and pavers, stone, and trim,
- Kohler low-flow plumbing fixtures,
- Schott high-performance cooking and fireplace glass,
- Pella energy efficient windows and doors,
- Armstrong sustainably harvested flooring and cabinets,
- BioBased spray-foam insulation by Rhino Linings,
- DuPont housewrap and surfaces.
"The future is clear," Jones says. "We need to produce durable homes with better indoor air quality, that are low maintenance, and that offer a better quality of life."
For more information about Made in America products and the VISION House, visit Green Builder Media's website at www.greenbuildermag.com. For consumers interested in living more sustainably, Green Builder Media offers a wealth of tips and information through its flagship publication Green Builder, the VISION House series, and other digital and social media. Check out information-packed issues such as the Homeowners' Handbook and the Hot 50 Products issue for more sustainable living ideas and sign up for a free enewsletter to get the latest information on green homes and sustainable living.

"According to last week's annual report, researchers looked at more than 80,000 hip replacement procedures performed in 2011. Of those, 11 percent were revision surgeries.
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 20, 2012
Metal-on-metal hip implants continue to be cause for concern, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. On September 13, 2012, the UK National Joint Registry ("NJR") presented its annual report at the British Orthopaedic Association meeting in Manchester.* Data from the NJR, which revealed that the DePuy ASR metal-on-metal hip implants had excessively high failure rates, proved to be the impetus for the August 2010 worldwide recall of all DePuy ASR hip replacement implants. Approximately 93,000 devices were subject to the recall. The NJR has since continued to monitor and track the performance of medical devices. According to last week's annual report, researchers looked at more than 80,000 hip replacement procedures performed in 2011. Of those, 11 percent were revision surgeries. While the report noted that metal-on-metal hip replacements have poor survivorship rates, the report also noted that the data did not indicate that they are associated with an increased risk of cancer within the first seven years of implantation. However, as reported by Reuters, the NJR added that "We must, however, point out that many cancers have prolonged latency after initial carcinogens and thus long-term follow up is needed to provide a definitive answer."** In reporting on these findings, Reuters highlighted the fact that manufacturers of metal-on-metal hip implants, who were ordered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") last year to take blood samples from patients to measure metal ion levels, have not fully complied.
"It is unfortunate that the United States still does not have its own independent registry in place to track the performance of medical devices," said Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing clients and filing lawsuits on behalf of individuals claiming injuries stemming from a variety of metal-on-metal hip systems.
Metal-On-Metal Hip Problems Lead To Mounting Litigation
Individuals who suffered metal-on-metal hip problems are filing lawsuits against the manufacturers of these products. The lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are actively involved in the following lawsuits: In re: DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. ASR Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation ("MDL No. 2197"), which is currently underway in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio and In re: DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. Pinnacle Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation ("MDL No. 2244"), which is currently underway in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The firm is also investigating cases concerning other metal hip implants manufactured by Wright Medical Technology, Inc. Lawsuits involving the Wright Conserve hip replacement were recently consolidated in In re: Wright Medical Technology, Inc., Conserve Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation ("MDL No. 2329"), which is now pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. In addition, the firm is closely following developments stemming from the June 2012 Smith & Nephew recall of a metal liner component of its metal-on-metal hip implants as well as the July 2012 recall of Stryker Orthopaedics' Rejuvenate and ABG II modular-neck hip stems.
The lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are currently evaluating potential metal-on-metal hip replacement lawsuit claims. Those who received a metal-on-metal hip replacement and have experienced hip replacement pain or had to undergo revision surgery may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other injuries.

Tiger Woods Jokes Axed From the Oscars
There will be no shortage of celebrities in attendance at Sunday night's Academy Awards. But one notable personality who won't be there, even in spirit, is Tiger Woods.
According to the New York Post, writers for tonight's Oscars ceremony crafted several jokes about the recently disgraced golf great's cheating scandals for Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to crack, but Academy bigwigs pooh-poohed the idea. A source squeals,
"Some of the Tiger jokes were deemed too rude."
Oh, noes! And who knows how many hours those poor writers spent crafting "balls" and "wood" puns? But there will still be plenty of Jon Gosselin cracks, right guys? Pretty-please?
Tell us in the comments section: Will an Oscars ceremony without Tiger Woods jokes be the same?
