WASPS were on a hiding to nothing at Franklin's Gardens today and they duly got their comeuppance as a near full-strength Northampton Saints side demolished them 73-13 to register the biggest victory of the Premiership season.
Wasps actually led 13-0 at one stage, but by the end Northampton were ripping them to pieces with tries from nearly every attack.
They got 11 in the end and whether this crushing loss was a price worth paying will depend on Wasps' result in the European play-off against Stade Francais.
Dai Young had that double header at the forefront of his mind when picking a side with just three regular starters, but the replacements were made to look shambolic by a determined Saints team chasing a result that would wrap up a home semi-final.
George North, Luther Burrell, Ben Foden, Stephen Myler and Lee Dickson all started in a backs division bristling with class, and the inevitable result was total carnage.
It was slow arriving though, and after 20 minutes a huge shock was unfolding.
Wasps are 13-0 ahead, they had breached Saints' line twice and the home side had hardly escaped their own half.
Charlie Davies made the first inroads when he went over in the fifth minute after a charge down, and ten minutes later Tom Varndell followed suit when Foden's attempted kick through on half way was blocked by the considerable bulk of Nathan Hughes.
Joe Carlisle missed both conversions, but a penalty in between did contribute to the early unexpected scoreline.
From then on though, common sense prevailed as Saints reeled in and then overtook Wasps with three tries in ten minutes.
North, Phil Dowson and Myler all went over in a frantic, game-changing burst and the job was done for Northampton when Burrell added the try bonus just before the interval.
That made it 27-13, but the Saints tsunami was just gathering force and in the second half Wasps were completely swept away.
Dickson completed his hat-trick with tries after 43 and 61 minutes, Foden, Dowson and North added their second scores of the afternoon while George Pisi and Tom Stephenson both came off the bench to touch down in a game that was an utter embarrassment for the black and golds.

"It is difficult to talk precisely about the market size of elevators and escalators in Vietnam, but Ho Chi Minh City's market has grown more than 40 per cent in 2010 compared to previous year"
Didier Michaud-Daniel
Vietnam is becoming a more strategic market for Otis Vietnam. Otis Elevator Company president Didier Michaud-Daniel talked with VIR's Minh Thien about its development strategy and some points of view regarding Vietnam's elevator, escalator and moving walkways market during his recent four-day working visit to Vietnam.
What is the purpose of your visit to Vietnam?
Vietnam is a really promising market for us now and that is the reason for our visit this time. I want to meet local customers and introduce our environmental commitment "The Way to Green" which incorporates our energy efficient Gen2 elevator. I will also visit Bitexco Tower, Ho Chi Minh City's highest tower and an iconic building, which we are very proud to be providing elevators and escalators to.
What do you think of Vietnam's elevator and escalator market?
It is difficult to talk precisely about the market size of elevators and escalators in Vietnam, but Ho Chi Minh City's market has grown more than 40 per cent in 2010 compared to the previous year.
I want my colleagues from China, Korea, Japan to come to Vietnam and see the construction here. Now is time for us to think about the latest products which could be sold in Vietnam. We are selling products from Korea in Vietnam, but a lot of new technologies can be sold here. Of course, the main construction sites are still in China.
You said Vietnam is a strategic market like China. Can you elaborate on this?
I said China was a strategic market because the worldwide market today is around 500,000 units units, but 250,000 units are sold in China. So China is more than half of the world's market. And when I look at markets moving ahead as China is today, I think of Russia, India, Vietnam and some countries in the Middle East, some African countries like South Africa. So it is strategic for us to work with Vietnam because it is growing and it has 85 million people, most of them young. Also, more people are working in the cities now. Vietnam needs more apartments, office buildings and commercial centres.
It has been three years since former Otis president Ari Bousbib's visit to Vietnam in 2007 when he said Otis would be dedicated to change its position in Vietnam. Is this still true?
I am not sure whether Otis is the elevator leader in Vietnam or not because we do not know exactly the market size, but we will be the leader in the next few years. In 2010, Otis generated revenue of $11.6 billion with over 60,000 employees. We are doing well in China and Korea, and I believe we will do well in Vietnam.
What is Otis Vietnam's development strategy for 2011-2015?
Otis Vietnam's development strategy is to be sure that we are the market leader. To do that, we need to address the different types of customers within Vietnam. For example, we need to be sure that we can provide competitive products to all types of customers from towers like Bitexco Financial Tower to smaller residential properties. We need to be sure that we can cover all the market because it is going to grow faster. Apart from elevators, we see this is also a big market in terms of services for elevators and escalators which contribute 60 per cent of revenue for Otis versus 40 per cent from new equipment. I think we could make acquisition of a company in Vietnam or some joint ventures with Vietnamese companies to develop our presence in Vietnam. But, to be sure of continuing to grow, we need to work with Vietnamese companies.
Could you share some ways that OTIS makes elevators and escalators greener?
We use flat belts and gearless machines that do not require additional lubricant, making the system cleaner for the environment. Secondly, we have devices called ReGen drives, which together with the Gen2 system, reduce energy consumption by up to 75 per cent and redistribute energy that is normally wasted as heat during breaking. Moreover, our customers have green options when it comes to lighting with LED offerings that last up to 10 times longer than conventional lighting. And with auto-shut-off mode, LED lighting is up to 80 per cent more energy efficient than conventional lighting. Also, the innovative belts allowed Otis to redesign the elevator's key components into a compact gearless machine that eliminates the need for a machine room. In fact, more than 95 per cent of materials used in the Gen2 system are recyclable.

Recent figures issued by the Office for National Statistics (on its website) show that UK unemployment rose by 118,000 in the three months to November 2011, to a total of 2.68 million. With redundancy still very much in the news, it is important that employers are aware of their legal obligations when they have to make employees redundant. While fair selection and proper consultation are essential to the redundancy process, it is also important that employers ensure that they pay employees who are redundant their correct entitlement to statutory redundancy pay. But who qualifies for statutory redundancy pay and when, and how is it calculated? How does an employee's maternity or paternity leave affect his or her entitlement to redundancy pay?
We provide guidance on statutory redundancy pay in the current series of XpertHR's Topic of the Week (subscription required). In the first article in the series, Elizabeth Stevens of Steeles (Law) LLP provides an overview of the qualifying rules. Future articles will look at how statutory redundancy pay is calculated and there will be a couple of case studies.

SAYEH'S LIVING HIGH WAISTED! 27 Mar 2013
High Waisted!
What you need: Gloves!
Props: Pom bands (the ones with handles), Calorie Trashers (if you got 'em)
Clothing Considerations: Cropped pants--lots of balancing, dont want to get tangled in too-long pants
Sweat Factor: Everyone in the room had a good sheen, but could also grab a drink after class without looking like they ran through a sprinkler a la Higher Power
If you've picked up a fashion magazine in the last couple of years, you've noticed the high waisted look is back, and I have to say that I've been wanting to get on board, but every time I eye a pair of high waisted jeans, images of poor Jessica Simpson flash before my eyes. You remember what I'm referring to, of course. The girl got skewered for wearing a pair of high waisted, so-called mom jeans. Now perhaps I have a soft spot for my fellow Texan, but I truly felt bad for her during that fiasco, and have no desire to repeat her fashion faux-pas. So, high waisted pencil skirts are more my speed. Although, every time I go to try one on, they present their own challenges too. Yes, they make me look little in the middle, but like I got much back...if you know what I'm saying. And highlight the saddlebag area to boot.
Enter, High Waisted the class. It works your entire body 360 degrees around your core down through your hips, saddle bags (not to mention full leg and arms and...wait that's your whole body). Most of the class is spent on one leg, balancing while lunging, raising up into liberty, arabesque, and folded over doing some pulses and kicks while using the pom bands for support and to keep your arms and back engaged. It requires some coordination, to be sure. Bari told us up front not to be discouraged if we felt a bit wobbly on one leg--that it takes about 3 classes to get the feel for the class--so that allowed me to relax and not pressure myself to feel like I needed to get it exactly right the first time.
That said, the class was FUN, and actually not super crazy hard to get a hang of. It was definitely the first class that I really wished I had the Calorie Trashers because my range of motion is pretty crappy, and I could have really benefited from something to keep my muscles warm and increase my flexibility as I stood on one foot and folded over and kicked behind me.
The class is upbeat, but not brutal in terms of cardio. It's the perfect combination of cardio and sculpting. At one point, a great song was blaring, we were combining all the moves we had just learned and I was in. the. zone. I woke up the next morning feeling sore in ways that I never have and eager to take the class again. A few more, and I'll be heading back to the racks for that pencil skirt minus the J. Simp flashbacks.
I highly recommend it. Let loose (literally) and have fun!
And if you take High Waisted any time soon, I'll see you in class.

Regarding the Oct. 27 Kyodo article "Abe issues fresh warning to China on isle [Senkaku Islands]row": I think the Japanese understand the virtues of peace very well — unlike the Chinese imperialists who think they can go back to the days of being the Middle Kingdom and East Asian countries being their vassals.
Remember that for 250-plus years Japan didn't do anything aggressive until American aggression led by Commodore Perry forced open Japan.
After Hideyoshi's Korean misadventure, the Japanese had little interest in aggression against others until Western imperialism reached their doorstep in the mid-19th century.
By contrast, the history of China is full of one Han dynasty after another conquering non-Han territories, dumping Han settlers there and Hanizing the whole place. Even Shi Huangdi, more than 2,000 years ago, is recorded to have conquered the Yue people in what is now southern China and to have dumped Han settlers there.
Is it not China that maintains an empire? Together, Tibet and East Turkestan (or Xinjiang), under Han occupation, make up one-third of "Chinese" territory. It is China that invaded India in 1962, Vietnam in 1979, and recently grabbed Kazakh land and Scarborough Shoal.
It is China that has territorial disputes with almost everyone of its neighbors. The rest of Asia, except for the Chinese and Koreans, now want an assertive Japan, not a Japan that submits to every Chinese demand in the name of "peace."
We have no interest in Chinese emotional appeals to a war finished nearly 70 years ago. They are not a good reason to continue keeping Japan defenseless.

HOUSTON - February was drier than normal for most of southeast Texas.
George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the official climate reporting station for the City of Houston, measured 1.32 inches of rain for the month, which is almost 2 inches below normal. As a result, the area is still parched and on the verge of dipping back into a moderate drought.
North and west of Harris County, moderate to severe drought conditions persist.
Seventy-five percent of the state of Texas is in some form of drought. Twenty-two percent of the state is considered in an extreme or exceptional drought. Extreme south Texas, the Rio Grande Valley and the panhandle are the driest.
Southeastern Texas has fared better than much of the rest of the state, even though rainfall has been largely below normal since September 2012.
The current forecast calls for the drought to persist or worsen between now and May.

Senator Parker Calls on Governor Paterson to Reaffirm Commitment to Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
Chair of Senate Energy Committee Writes Letter Opposing Weakening of RGGI
(Albany, NY) State Senator Kevin Parker (D-Brooklyn), Chairman of the Senate Energy & Telecommunications Committee, today released a letter he authored to Governor David Paterson urging him to avoid any weakening of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) program.
The New York Times reported the Governor is considering increasing the number of free greenhouse gas emission allowances given away to industry. This change would undermine the strong environmental goals of the RGGI program, and it would decrease New York's expected revenue from auctioning carbon emission allowances in the coming budget year. The loss of State revenue could amount to as much as $42 million over the next five years.
"I am disappointed the Governor could consider dismantling RGGI even in part.," said Chairman Parker. "For New York to forego revenue is a very significant and troubling decision, given the fiscal challenges faced by the State. RGGI funds are intended to be allocated to projects reducing New York's carbon footprint, promoting Green Collar jobs, and conducting research into pollution reduction technologies. I am optimistic, however, that we can stop RGGI from being weakened."

Lively, absorbing, often outrageously funny, Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales is a work of genius, an undisputed classic that has held a special appeal for each generation of readers.

Othello (Annotated Shakespeare)by William Shakespeare Harold Bloom Burton Raffel
One of the most powerful dramas ever written for the stage, Othello is a story of revenge, illusion, passion, mistrust, jealousy, and murder. If in Iago Shakespeare created the most compelling villain in Western literature, in Othello and Desdemona he gave us our most tragic and unforgettable lovers.
Pure Paganby Burton Raffel
"For there is indeed something we can call the spirit of ancient Greece–a carefully tuned voice that speaks out of the grave with astonishing clarity and grace , a distinctive voice that, taken as a whole, is like no other voice that has ever sung on this earth. " –BURTON RAFFEL, from his Preface For centuries, the poetry of Homer, Aristophanes, Sophocles, Sappho, and Archilochus has served as one of our primary means of connecting with the wholly vanished world of ancient Greece. But the works of numerous other great and prolific poets–Alkaios, Meleager, and Simonides, to name a few–are rarely translated into English , and are largely unknown to modern readers. InPure Pagan, award-winning translator Burton Raffel brings these and many other wise and witty ancient Greek writers to an English-speaking audience for the first time, in full poetic flower. Their humorous and philosophical ruminations create a vivid portrait of everyday life in ancient Greece –and they are phenomenally lovely as well. In short, sharp bursts of song, these two-thousand-year-old poems speak about the timeless matters of everyday life: Wine (Wine is the medicine/To call for, the best medicine/To drink deep, deep) History (Not us: no. /It began with our fathers,/I've heard). Movers and shakers (If a man shakes loose stones/To make a wall with/Stones may fall on his head/Instead) Old age (Old age is a debt we like to be owed/Not one we like to collect) Frankness (Speak/As you please/And hear what can never/Please). There are also wonderful epigrams (Take what you have while you have it: you'll lose it soon enough. /A single summer turns a kid into a shaggy goat) and epitaphs (Here I lie, beneath this stone, the famous woman who untied her belt for only one man). The entrancing beauty, humor, and piercing clarity of these poems will draw readers into the Greeks' journeys to foreign lands, their bacchanalian parties and ferocious battles, as well as into the more intimate settings of their kitchens and bedrooms. The poetry ofPure Paganreveals the ancient Greeks' dreams, their sense of humor, sorrows, triumphs, and their most deeply held values, fleshing out our understanding of and appreciation for this fascinating civilization and its artistic legacy. From the Hardcover edition.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knightby Burton Raffel
During a Christmas feast at Camelot, King Arthur and his knights are interrupted by a monstrous green-skinned knight who offers them a simple but deadly challenge. Sir Gawain accepts this challenge, which will force him to choose between his honor and his life. Written by an unknown 14th century poet, this beloved tale is translated from the Old English.
The Song of the Cidby Burton Raffel Maria Rosa Menocal Anonymous
From a legendary translator: a magnificent new rendering of Spain's national epicVenture into the heart of Islamic Spain in this vibrant, rollicking new translation of The Song of the Cid, the only surviving epic from medieval Spain. Banished from the court of King Alfonso, the noble warrior Rodrigo Diaz, know as the Cid, sets out from Castile to restore his name. In a series of battles, he earns wealth and honor for his men and his king, as well as fame and admiration for himself. But it is in rescuing his daughters from their ill-suited marriages that the Cid faces the ultimate challenge to the medieval heroic ideal.

"P.B. & G." PHOTO PROVES TO BE "THE LAST STRAW"---Ray Shero
You know all this trouble that the Penguins have been having this season? They finally traced it to its' roots and found that no, it wasn't Michael Therrien's fault after all! The real problem, the Pens found, is also the same problem with about everything else on earth these days... Satan!!!
Above: Satan minus his earthly "cloaking device". With a true appearance like this, you'd think he would've gone harder to the net!
Above: Satan with his girlfriend. Notice the color of her dress! Interesting coincidence? Me thinks not!!! In another interesting coincidence, guess what colors the New Jersey Devils wear?
Proving once again that, "Idle hands are the Devil's workshop", Satan, above, was caught by an alert "P.B. & G." reader recently goofing off instead of practicing. New Coach Dan Bylsma won't stand for this nonsense from his players unlike previous softie Mikey Therrien! So because of the help they received from "P.B. & G.", Pens' G.M. Ray Shero decided to pull the plug on the Satan experiment and place him on waivers, calling this photo, "The last straw."
The Penguins, in rumors largely floated by their own myopic fans, are also said to be having trade deadline discussions with Ryan Malone and Jarko Ruutu. With Gary Roberts already on waivers and Mark Recchi said to be available, Ray Shero only needs to speak with the agent for Colby Armstrong to once again reunite the whole team and insure another glorious playoff run. All of these players will be obtained reportedly for Jordan Staal!
Stay tuned Penguins fans!

Carried Around the Baltic: Emerald Princess Cruise Review by billfishmc
Overall Member Rating
Carried Around the Baltic
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Copenhagen
On The Ship Positives for Mobility The best part of the cruise was our accessible outside stateroom (with blocked view). It had plenty of room for me to move around on my scooter and the bathroom was equally roomy and well laid out (good job Princess). Also the public accessible restrooms were roomy and well laid out. The doorways to the outdoors areas were wide and usually automatic with low thresholds.
Negatives for Mobility The hallways in the stateroom areas were wide enough for a scooter or wheelchair but were usually blocked by numerous carts used by the More room attendants. This meant that I had to go up or down to one of the public decks to move fore and aft on the ship. But the ship had a "chopped up" layout. To get down to the Botticelli dining room I could only use the aft elevators
The elevators were small and with 3100 people on board usually crowded. The stairways were directly across from the elevator doors and a crewmember told me of an incident where a guest, on a scooter, backed out of an elevator and down the stairs. There were crowds of people everywhere. The Horizon Court cafeteria was always jammed packed with hungry cruisers.
None of the outside decks went all around the ship and on the top outside deck, one has to thread his way around numerous barriers to move fore and aft.
We had our dinners in the Botticelli dining room where the food was OK. The wait staff was very good and attentive. One night we ate in the Crown Grill (surcharge) were the food was good and plentiful and the wait staff very good. For breakfasts and lunches we ate at the very crowded Horizon Grill with its confusing food pods and limited food selection. In all of the dining areas the free coffee supplied was terrible (it tasted like instant). To get good coffee you had to go to the International Cafe. There you could buy a "Coffee Card", $25 for 15 cups of specialty coffee. If you had a coffee card you could get a cup of regular coffee (usually $1.00) for free. Some of the sandwiches and pastries were free, some were extra charge.
You could order a free basket of fresh fruit for you stateroom.
Entertainment The four production shows by the Princess Singers and Dancers were high-energy song and dance acts of good quality presented in the Princess Theater. This theater is set up with rows of seats like a movie theater. The space adjacent to the end seats of the lower floor is reserved for the disabled to park. Even though you are parked on the side the visibility is good. The other variety acts vary in quality according to your taste. There is entertainment at many other venues, which we did not sample.
General The hotel staff did a very good job of keeping our stateroom clean and neat and the temperature control for the room worked well. But the public areas had a cramped feeling. Many of the shops had their wares in the aisles, which added to the congestion. Overall the ship had the feel of a Middle East bazaar with everything on sale.
Princess Port Tours In general, you had to be able to climb up into and descend from the big tour busses Princess uses for its tours. The busses all had room to stow my wheelchair. After informing the tour desk of my disability we found that they reserved two front seats for my wife and myself (very helpful). I always got help on the gangways when entering or exiting the ship
Stockholm - We visited the Vasa Museum, which is very accessible. Fascinating old ship but so dark inside the museum that my old eyes had trouble seeing it. Later went to the Royal Palace were we watched the King and his family leave the Palace for Parliament where he made the opening speech. Then watched the changing of the Guard but did not see much of the adjacent Old Town due to the hills and cobblestone. A wheelchair ride on cobblestones is ROUGH.
Helsinki - We took a tour, which took us through the city out to the old village of Purvo (cobblestones) and then on to horse farm in the countryside. There we had a country lunch with home made beer. There were three steps to get in the back door. Then on to the Rock Church in Helsinki, which is accessible,
St. Petersburg - 2 Days with lots to see. Day 1 we toured the Peter and Paul Fortress in the morning. Lots of cobblestones but our neighbor Dan pushed me all over the fort grounds. We had lunch with Russian entertainment at an accessible (elevator) restaurant. After lunch we went to the Hermitage. To get in, Dan and volunteers from our tour group carried me (in my wheelchair) up about 10 stairs at the entrance. Once inside there were elevators and accessible restrooms. Part of the Hermitage was the private museum of Czarina Catherine the Great. WOW
Day 2 we toured Catherine's Palace in the morning. Not the least accessible. The palace is opulent. Again Dan and the tour volunteers carried me (in my wheelchair) up and down many stairs. Lunch with entertainment on the Palace grounds. We had an afternoon tour of the Grand Palace and Gardens (built for Peter the Great) at Peterhof located outside St. Petersburg. Not the least accessible. It is another opulent palace with beautiful gardens and many fountains. Again Dan and the tour volunteers carried me (in my wheelchair) up and down the stairs.
Tallinn I did not get off the ship. To get to the Old Town (the only attraction) you have to go uphill on cobblestones. Not worth the effort. This also gave Dan a chance to recover from St. Petersburg.
Gdynia and Gdansk Very challenging port stop. My wife and I and our neighbors were booked on a tour of Gdansk. Just when I rolled up to the amidships elevators (the only ones that would take me down to the accessible exit gangway) the elevators were turned OFF (terrible scheduling) because the ship was having a crew safety drill. I was stuck. We called the tour staff; Our friends were on the bus looking for us. Dan even came back on the ship to try to find us, but could not. The tour bus left without us. After listening to many lame excuses from the tour director we were give a complementary shorter tour of the Old Town of Gdansk.
The Old Town is a totally new reconstruction, but very faithful to how it looked before WW II. A lot of cobblestones and all the stores and restaurants had stairs at the entrance.
Oslo We took a tour of three ship museums, all were accessible. The first had two well-preserved Viking ships. One was a Queen's burial ship and contained many artifacts which were on display. The second displayed the Kon Tiki raft that sailed across the Pacific. The third displayed the Fram, which was used by early Artic explorers.
Conclusion - Accessibility is good in Oslo and Stockholm, very poor in the other cities. I was extremely fortunate to have Dan on the cruise and many thanks to him and the volunteers who carried me up and down the stairs. Less

Cabin review: E304
Cabin E304 on the Emerald Princess had the best design for an accessible cabin that I have found on any cruise ship. Roomy with a very good bathroom layout. Clean, neat and quiet with a thermostat which controlled the cabin temperature very well.

...your picture on the Internet:
Nice work......Is it yours????
It looks like a fark photoshop thread.
BTW if you do not visit fark...you really should.
You would do great in the photoshop threads.
They take a picture and let people photoshop that pic...it really is cool and there are some very good photoshoppers.
That site has all kind of different news links and such however if you see a photoshop thread....then click on the right link.
No...I can't take the credit on this, although I do use Photoshop graphics in the same capacity. Someone told me the guy in the picture actually did this piece - can't confirm this though.
I just had to post this - it made me shoot beer through my nose when I first saw it.
Thanks for posting this. I needed a laugh.
Those were pretty good. Some of the funniest farks I saw were a couple of thread done about Kellen Winslow Jr. following Miami's loss to Tennessee and his "I'm a f'ing soldier" comments afterward.
The Oklahoma Sooner fans have a section of their website forum devoted to sports farks...some really hilarious stuff.

Yankees Playah Derek Jeter
Ever since we (ok, our female readers) named Derek Jeter the Hottest Baseball Player in the MLB, he seems to have found a new level of confidence.
There's no doubt that Derek Jeter knows how to pick it…and I don't mean at shortstop in Fenway Park. This guy has hit for the Cycle about five times! In fact, 6 of Jeter's conquests were on Maxim's Top 100 List last year. For Jeter, picking up a hot chick is as easy as hitting a Jamie Moyer fastball…when you know it's coming.
A few weeks ago, we took an up close and personal look at Minka Kelly of Friday Night Lights fame. Here's a look at Derek Jeter's girlfriends over the years. Jeter personafies what I've always said about good looking professional athletes.
Why would they ever get married?
Check out the rest of Jeter's conquests below. You can also voice your opinion on who's Jeter's hottest by voting in our poll on the right sidebar.
Derek shared Rachel Uchitel with his friend Tiger Woods. Uchitel finished with the silver medal behind wife Elin, in our Tiger's Hottest Tail voting a few months ago.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/10/2012 (1780 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Manitoba cold-case mystery has taken a major step forward in the justice system -- but the move means the high-profile prosecution will remain shrouded in secrecy for now.
Christopher Robin Shewchuk appeared in a Winnipeg courtroom Wednesday where he was expected to begin a preliminary hearing for allegedly killing a carnival worker in 2003. Instead, the 30-year-old agreed to bypass the procedure and go directly to trial on a charge of first-degree murder. That means the Crown is not forced to publicly present any of its evidence at this time.
Defence lawyer Jeff Gindin told court there are clearly sufficient grounds to move the case to trial, which is the typical test required at a preliminary hearing.
"We have examined all the evidence in great detail. There wouldn't be much point going through a preliminary," said Gindin. He said much of the case is built on police evidence, including wiretaps. If convicted, Shewchuk would face a mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for at least 25 years. No dates have been set and Shewchuk remains in custody without bail.
Derek Kembel, 24, was last seen leaving a Dauphin bar on Feb. 28, 2003. His body has never been found. Sources have previously told the Free Press police used a "Mr. Big" undercover sting operation to break open the case in 2010.
At the time, members of the RCMP's historical-case unit also charged his father, Thomas Ronald Shewchuk, 60, with accessory to murder after the fact. However, court documents the Free Press obtained on Wednesday show the Crown stayed that charge, without explanation, several months ago.
In a Mr. Big sting, the plan is simple: Gain the trust of your main target by surrounding him with undercover police officers playing the roles of shady members of a criminal organization. Eventually, police hope to make the suspect comfortable enough he confesses to his crime, believing it's the only way to success. Police see the stings as a costly last resort to bring a suspected killer to justice.

Fotodiox today launched its WonderBurst NEX Radio Flash Trigger and WonderBurst HSS8000 4-in-1 Radio Slave Trigger. The WonderBurst NEX ($39.95) enables Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5 cameras to remotely trigger any flash with a standard hot-shoe, giving shooters more options beyond the proprietary Sony hot-shoe. The WonderBurst NEX is capable of flash sync speeds up to 1/160 seconds and features 16 selectable channels. Along with the WonderBurst NEX, Fotodiox is also launching the WonderBurst HSS8000 4-in-1 Radio Slave Trigger ($69.95), a 1/8000 high-speed sync wireless remote flash trigger compatible with any camera flash or strobe. The transmitter plugs into the camera to learn the camera's specific delay time, allowing it to get ahead of the second curtain sync, or the sync delay that most cameras have. The WonderBurst HSS8000 removes flash sync limitations and will also work as a camera remote for AF remote triggering, continuous shooting and bulb mode.

As heavy snow cover melts away in Corcoran, more and more junk is becoming visible in the yard of the home at 7695 Rolling Hills Road. Neighbors have been complaining about the unpleasant scene and foul odors wafting in their direction, according to city reports.
Corcoran City Administrator Brad Martens, Thursday, March 27, said that city officials had been asking the property owner to clean up the property for two months and nothing had happened. Speaking before the Corcoran City Council, Martens said it was time for councilors to pass a resolution ordering abatement of the nuisances by April 3. And the abatement order needs some teeth in it.
Mayor Ken Guenthner said he wanted to hold off on issuing the order until the city attorney could clear up the issue of who owns the property. Corcoran needs to know who should receive the abatement order.
Martens described the attempts of Mike Pritchard, Corcoran's city code compliance official, to get the property cleaned up.
After the house was vacated Jan. 23, a bank took possession of the property. Pritchard inspected the property Jan. 24 and 31 and March 6. He discovered foul odors and extensive garbage and debris both inside and outside of the house. He notified the owner about the nuisance conditions via a letter Jan. 24. Then he sent an abatement order Feb. 3 requiring abatement of all nuisances on the property or filing an appeal of the order by Feb. 20.
When nothing happened, Pritchard sent a second abatement order, flagged as a "final notice," to the owner March 21 and informed him that the property would be reinspected March 31.
Martens asked that the council pass a resolution saying that the owner shall abate all nuisances on the property outlined in the Feb. 3 order by April 3. If the owner does not abate the nuisances by April 3, the city would be authorized to do the cleanup work. The owner would be liable for cleanup costs, and these would be charged against the property as a special assessment to be collected with 2015 property taxes.
Contacted March 28, Pritchard said it looked like the bank would begin cleanup work as soon as Monday, March 31. Meanwhile, Corcoran wants to be prepared with an abatement order in case cleanup work does not happen.
Regarding the discovery of the additional discarded items that seemed to be appearing during the snow melt — and whether it had simply been hidden under snow or was being added by others — Pritchard said: "I think it's a little of both."

LEED BD+C: New Construction v2 - LEED 2.2
IAIA Science and Technology Center
Santa Fe, NM 87508
United States
LEED Gold 2011
Goals and motivations
What were the project's sustainability goals?
The overarching goal for this project was to deliver a LEED Gold facility, in line with the Institute's Sustainable Futures Design Initiative of 2003. It was also our team's goal to deliver this facility, along with others on the campus, in this spirit by working with the IAIA staff and building contractors to capture the essence of respect for the environment, which is a basic tenet of Native American culture. The commitment by IAIA to develop its campus infrastructure and facilities based upon core sustainable mandates was crucial to achieving this goal.
The team collectively looked at how we could maximize LEED principals within the projects with creative cost savings ideas. When the project was priced, it came in over budget and during the value-engineering phase, we made sure that we did not compromise any LEED points while evaluating systems or materials.
What were the most notable strategies used to earn LEED credits?
For the IAIA Science and Technology building and the Sculpture and Foundry Building, notable strategies for achieving LEED credits and for implementing a smooth certification process included team member education, clear and concise sustainability specifications, and a split design and construction review. First, team member education was a large focus at the onset to ensure that the owner, design team, and invested stakeholders understood and agreed with LEED practices and documentation requirements. To educate all team members about expectations and process, a LEED kick-off meeting was held with the design team and owner. Construction also required a lot of education, and our design team worked with the contractor to ensure that the intent and documentation requirements of waste management, indoor air quality, and stormwater pollution prevention were well understood. Sustainability specifications were developed to guide the contractor through the LEED practices and documentation process. In the construction documents, for example, forms for division 2-10 materials cost and forms for documenting recycled content, regional materials, FSC wood, and VOC compliance were provided for the contractor and subcontractors to fill out and submit for review. Including these forms in the specifications allowed for a streamlined submittal review and clear communication between the LEED project manager and construction project manager regarding LEED construction credit compliance.
The building required a highly regulated environment to protect archived works of art, as well as a clean and healthy environment for the large concentration of students who occupy the building regularly. Consequently, the museum collection area and classrooms have increased ventilation and precise HVAC systems to maintain relative temperature and humidity.
Lastly, conducting a split review for both projects allowed for transparency. By conducting a split review and having the design documentation reviewed and approved prior to construction, changes required in design for LEED compliance were easily incorporated into the project via addenda. Conducting a split review allowed for less LEED-related change orders, and it created confidence that the team would earn the certification level required.
What key metrics best define the project's most significant savings or LEED-related successes?
- Projected water use reduction: 39.3%
- Projected energy use reduction: 21%
Lessons Learned
What project challenges became important lessons learned?
One of the best decisions made on this project was to use pre-cast engineered concrete walls and a double-layered exterior insulation finishing system (EIFS) for the envelope. This decision expedited the building schedule and showed us that a sustainable solution does not have to be expensive and can be beneficial in the short term and long term.
This west entrance of the IAIA Sculpture and foundry building is where students and staff can enter to access the media labs, conservation/science labs, faculty offices, state-of-the-art digital dome, and Museum of Contemporary Native Arts' permanent collection.
Another key moment that turned the direction of the project was the decision on landscaping. During initial design, landscaping was value-engineered out and a limited amount was set aside for it. Later during construction, a design-build landscape contractor was brought in to address the site. We faced a lot of issues since the contractor was not involved in the initial design development. There were many conflicts on the grading and landscaping design that created concerns, but were resolved at the expense of time and money. Even though we had followed a comprehensive integrated design process with all other vested members, this lapse in the involvement of landscape designer was an expensive mistake.
What was the value of applying LEED to this project?
Working collaboratively and interactively together with the building owners, consultants, and other design professionals from the early planning stages through to building occupancy was so successful that the structure, building site, lighting systems, heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, and indoor environment exceeded the design.
The integrative process also allowed the team to identify and better understand the design goals of each party, and provided a forum to take advantage of complementary systems and design principles to satisfy multiple design goals.
So, what do you think? Help us improve our new LEED project library by completing this short survey.

It's Official: Vinny From "Jersey Shore" Is The Most Sensitive Man On Television
Last night was the season premiere of the third season of "Jersey Shore," and people, it did not disappoint. The first night, new cast member Deena got naked in front of The Situation, JWoww and Sammi got in a physical fight, and I learned at least five new words for "vagina." But the most heartwarming moment came when a drunk Snooki tried to hook up with Vinny, who she had sex with in Miami, and he graciously declined, showing more emotional maturity than any man I've met in the last 12 months.Vinny, you see, would have been happy to have sequel sex with Snooki, if they were on the same page about it just being fun and low pressure. But he knew Snooki had genuine feelings for him and that hooking up would only make those feelings deeper. Vinny is looking to have fun in the "Jersey Shore" house, to hook up with lots of girls, but he wasn't going to add Snooki to the list again, only to have it cause her pain in the future. He delivered this message gently and kindly and although Snooki was being a sad, mopey drunk about it (I've been there, girl), I'm confident she'll eventually realize Vinny did right by both of them. He put their friendship before his penile urges and it almost brought a tear to my eye.

Code::blocks problem
Code::blocks problem
Mar 31, 2011 at 5:07pm UTC
I installed Code::blocks without the MinGW. Then i installed separately MinGW in D:\ - i instructed Code::blocks to use MinGW from Settings -> Compiler and Debugger -> Global Compiler Settings -> Toolchain executables where I added D:\MinGW.
So far no problem, then i build a simple program in debug and release version and they both work when executed from Code::blocks.
But when I go in the folder where the binary files reside and try to execute them as standalone applications I get the following error
This application has failed to start because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem
If I install Code::blocks with the MinGW integrated - there is no problem, but if i get Code::blocks separately and MinGW then i can't run standalone programs.
If you know how to fix this please help me.
I use Windows XP SP3.
Mar 31, 2011 at 7:13pm UTC
When you install the integrated version, it most likely puts the DLL in the "System32" folder. This is where the OS looks for DLL's. When you install the separate versions, the DLL may not get into your "System32" folder. Try looking through your MinGW and Code::Blocks files to find the DLL, then copy it to your "System32" folder. The path should look some like
Mar 31, 2011 at 7:41pm UTC
You shouldn't use the official MinGW build, use this one instead:
Code::Blocks comes bundled with TDM MinGW as well (with the 4.4.x version though).
Binaries built with TDM don't have any silly dependencies such as libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.

: Dude, you're SO CLOSE it's killing me!
That "libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll" file is in "%PATH%\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\". The reason that this app runs from the IDE but not from the a.exe is that Code::Blocks executes your program from within a shell it makes when you run it from the IDE. This shell has it's own environment variables one of which tells the command prompt you start to check a set of directories for stuff like DLL's, the executables it needs to compile etc. Without the PATH variable set, your application does not know where to look for the libraries that it is relying on.
@ OP: When you install MingW, there is a setup phase that tells you to drop "C:\Mingw\bin\" into your system PATH. I'm willing to bet you didn't do this. In fact here's the link:
This should resolve your DLL issue.
has an interesting suggestion, overall this may be a better solution as it wouldn't require anyone using your binaries to have this DLL on their system. I'll be looking into this idea myself, thanks for the suggestion.

Guys thank you for your help. Athar i followed your link and it worked beautifully. I discarded the old MinGW and the new one solved it all.
Now if i may just ask how do i integrate Code::blocks with sfml library. I follow the instructions in www.sfml-dev.org but i cant get it to even start compiling.
I do everything the site tells me but when i hit compile and run - nothing seems to happen and there is no binary file in the project folder.
Now here is the funny part - when i reverse to my old MinGW (mingw-with-gcc-4.4) the one sfml recommends i get it to compile and run from Code::blocks but when i go the project folder and execute as standalone app. it gives the same error - missing dll file. It leaves me scratching my head for a week now :(
Thank you again for your quick and competent responses.

'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans Got Those Breast Implants
Posted by Photo Boy
In accordance with the Teen Mom rite of passage, Jenelle Evans thankfully squirreled away enough of her meth money and finally got a boob job at Wilmington Plastic Surgery yesterday. If you look closely, you can see that she's wearing a mic pack here and a cameraman is visible here, so presumably MTV covered this grand event for the show. And just like MTV wouldn't miss a peak or extremely low, low valley (depending on how you look at it) in this girl's life, her on-again-off-again homeless boyfriend was present to leech some of the spotlight. "Well I was just going about my usual day, finding some way to score, but then this MTV producer I was trying to rob offered me twenty bucks to show up and pretend to be supportive. Actually he said he'd double it if I steal her keys once they put her under."

Food Fight: Battle of the Pesto Grilled Cheeses
Tiny's version ain't so tiny...
Who doesn't love grilled cheese? And when it's made with pesto, even better. Crazy thing is, we found two of our favorite Houston lunch spots -- Tiny Boxwood's and Blacksmith Coffee Bar -- making just that.
So obviously, we tried both so you wouldn't have to.
Ladies and gents, prepare for the greatest battle of them all, The Battle of The Pesto Grilled Cheese:
First up: Tiny Boxwood's Grilled Cheese & Pesto $11, served with fries TB's version comes packed with loads of rich and gooey aged gouda. You need to do a double-take to realize, ah yes, there is some greenery in there, but once you take the first bite, that doubt disappears as the flavors of garlic, fresh basil, and nutty and sharp Parmesan punch through. The sandwich -- made on grilled, just-charred slices of sourdough (perhaps a bit more char next time?) -- comes in three pieces. That must be for maximum dipping ease, because the sandwich is served alongside a sweet, chunky tomato sauce. Oh, and a pile of crisp, shoestring fries for good measure. We suggest ordering a freshly squeezed lemonade, too.
And Blacksmith ain't messin' around either.
Next up: Blacksmith's Grilled Cheese $8, served with chips or salad
Blacksmith's grilled cheese has a similar feel, but their bread is a bit crustier, and griddled entirely (versus just the grill-marked version from Boxwood's). This means there are more chances for the bread to reach that perfect buttery crisp, and more chances for the cheese to melt through and develop a deep, golden brown crust. Again, ours could have been grilled a bit more to really knock our socks off. The pesto is light and fresh, while the oodles of oozing fontina provide that milky, rich flavor. Rumor has it you can add on bacon and an egg, making it perfectly breakfast-appropriate. We're sorry we didn't. May we suggest doing so and ordering one of their excellent cold-brewed iced coffees?
Winner: By a hair, Tiny Boxwood's
If you don't mind the $11 price tag, Tiny Boxwood's grilled cheese takes the cake, but mostly because of the dipping sauce. The marinara provides the ultra-decadent sandwich the little bit of acid needed to cut through the richness. Plus, dipping your fries in marinara is a bonus. In the end, we would have preferred both sandwiches to be a bit crisper and gooey-er. Blacksmith's version was so close, but it would need more acid -- a tomato or perhaps even tomato jam -- to bring home the trophy.

text: AfricaNorth Nigeria violence leaves many dead At least 23 killed in two separate attacks believed to be carried out by armed group Boko Haram. 23 Jan 2013 08:43 GMT | Africa, Cameroon, Chad, Mali, Niger The north of Nigeria is the latest area being targeting by Islamist goup Boko Haram [Al Jazeera]At least 23 people have been killed in northern Nigeria by gunmen targeting "anti-islamic gamblers" and "forbidden meat traders". Local officials said the attack on Tuesday was targeted at activities disapproved by armed groups. Alhaji Abba Ahmed, a local official said an earlier attack, late on Monday, proved to be the deadliest. Gunmen opened fire at a market in the town of Damboa, targeting local hunters who sell bush meat from animals such as monkeys and pigs - which Muslims are forbidden to eat. "Gunmen suspected to be members of BH (Boko Haram) came to the town market and shot dead 13 local hunters on the spot while five others died from their injuries at the hospital," Ahmed said. "They came to the market in a Volkswagen Golf car, carried out the operation and left," he added. Witnesses said a separate attack took place on Tuesday in the north's biggest city of Kano, about 500km west of Damboa, when suspected Boko Haram members shot dead five people playing an outdoor board game. A hospital source who received the bodies said that two others had been wounded. Damboa is in the remote northeast, the Boko Haram's heartland near the borders with Niger, Cameroon and Chad. Boko Haram's aim is to carve an Islamic state out of Nigeria, a nation of 170 million people almost evenly divided between Christians and Muslims.Source: Agencies

A nice daily face moisturizerI have been using since last two months. While it initially stung me a bit (the sensation that you have when you run anything lemony on your face) but later on it went fine. I wish it had more of SPF as such a less SPF is virtually no SPF!

Crowds cheer monks amid havoc and fear
"YOU are fools! You are fools!" The cry rang out on the streets of Rangoon yesterday as people appalled by a crackdown on Buddhist monks vented their anger at Burma's hated security forces.
The elated mood of Tuesday, when 100,000 demonstrators led by the monks swept through the city in defiance of Government warnings, evaporated as soldiers and riot police unleashed tear gas and fired warning shots.
Monks swathed in red and saffron robes were sent scattering as soldiers and riot police attacked them and their supporters with batons under the shadow of Burma's holiest shrine, the glittering Shwedagon Pagoda.
"We can't bear it, we are very angry," said one young man fleeing central Rangoon with his friends.
Ordinary citizens ran from offices, restaurants and shops in an exodus that created havoc on the roads and left thousands stranded in the streets or trying to find shelter wherever they could.
Many abandoned their cars in the gridlocked streets and ran for their lives. "I have never seen that kind of thing in my life," said one young worker.
"I feel very sorry for the monks, and also for the people. We are Buddhists. They shouldn't act this way."
Undeterred, despite the baton charge, the monks regrouped and 1000 marched into central Rangoon in defiance of the security forces, greeted with deafening cheers from thousands of bystanders as they approached the iconic Sule Pagoda.
Roars of approval erupted when storm clouds gathered overhead, dramatically blotting out the blazing sunshine. Many in this country, where superstitions are deeply held, took it to be a sign from the spirits.
But in a second onslaught, the security forces fired more warning shots and again fired tear gas to disperse the crowd, sending people swarming to seek shelter indoors.
"They even insult our religion and our monks," a businessman aged in his 50s said as he ran from the tear gas alongside monks who held wet cloths to their faces. Elsewhere in Rangoon, monks marching to the home of the pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, urged supporters to stand back and let them alone challenge the might of the hardline regime that has ruled Burma for more than four decades.
"We monks will do this, please don't join us," they said. "Don't do anything violent. We will send loving kindness to them," they said of the military presence.
Hotspots such as Rangoon's golden pagodas and its city hall were under heavy guard, while elsewhere knots of security forces were on standby behind walled compounds, making clear they were ready for action.
In the suburbs, people rushed to stock up with food, and workers returned to their homes in satellite towns after authorities announced a night-time curfew and declared the entire city a military "restricted" area.
The announcement was made through loudspeakers by officials who cruised through the city on trucks late yesterday, a haphazard method that left many people searching in vain for more news of the security measures.
"We didn't hear anything about this curfew on the news last night and we tried to find it in the newspapers this morning, but we couldn't find it," said one man who was too afraid to be named.
Many voiced concern that the measures would prevent workers living in outlying areas from reaching their places of employment, putting more pressure on the already impoverished nation.
"We are really afraid because of this curfew," said another man.
"We don't have enough money, now people are rushing to buy food and things. People are really worried."
The protest movement, which began last month after a massive fuel price rise, has developed into the biggest challenge to the regime in 20 years.

Iron Maiden, Tool, Pink Floyd. Into classic rock and some blues. Only things I don't really like are country and top 40. Really into foo fighters and good 90's stuff lately too.
Game of Thrrones and Walking Dead area two absolute favs. Also like How I Met Your Mother, Person of Interest, Hannibal, Shield, Sherlock, etc. If it's geeky or crime or spy related I would probably like it. Was a huge fan of Lost.
Avengers, or anything super hero related. Star Wars (original trilogy mostly). Always loved Dazed and Confused. Lately I am a sucker for a good spy or crime movie too.
I tend stick to horror, fantasy, and scifi. I love stuff that takes me out of the real world for a bit. Big fan of anything Stephen King, Joe Hill, or Dan Brown. Any good suggestions?
Food I'll try almost anything other than seafood (allergies). Love Italian and really enjoy trying craft beers.
2 family/friends
3 my pool
4 hockey
5 good tv/movies
6 music
Also currently why all these dating sites send me so many matches that are Canadian girls.
Currently I enjoy going to different breweries and trying craft beers.

How Many Democrats per Republican at UC-Berkeley and Stanford? Voter Registration Data Across 23 Academic Departments
Using the records of the seven San Francisco Bay Area counties that surround University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University, we conducted a systematic and thorough study of the party registration of the Berkeley and Stanford faculty in 23 academic departments. The departments span the social sciences, humanities, hard sciences, math, law, journalism, engineering, medicine, and the business school. Of the total of 1497 individual names on the cumulative list, we obtained readings on 1005, or 67 percent. The findings support the "one-party campus" conjecture. For UC-Berkeley, we found an overall Democrat:Republican ratio of 9.9:1. For Stanford, we found an overall D:R ratio of 7.6:1. Moreover, the breakdown by faculty rank shows that Republicans are an "endangered species" on the two campuses. This article contains a link to the complete data (with individual identities redacted).

Justin Bieber An Oscar Contendah?
Never thought JBiebs would be up for an Oscar nod? Never say never. The American Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has determined that Justin Bieber's duet with Jayden Smith, "Never Say Never," from "The Karate Kid" is eligible for an Oscar nom in the original song category. To be considered, a song must consist of words and music, both of which are original and written specifically for the film. It's on a list with 41 other songs, including ditties from "Country Strong" and "Burlesque." Now we just have to sit back and see what the Academy voters have to say on January 25. [FOX]

Geoffrey Oscar (ジェフリー オスカー, Jefurī Oskā) is a Gemischt Quincy and a freshman student at Rider High School.[1] He is the son of Gregory and Carla Oscar, as well as the younger brother of Darcy Oscar. He is the primary protagonist of Bleach: Blutmond.
Geoffrey is a petite, frail-looking boy, with short brown hair, pale skin, and wide brown eyes. When not at school, he wears loose-fitting clothes, as he finds them to be more comfortable than form-fitting clothing. He also tends to wear pants that are too long for him, forcing him to role them up around his ankles. While attending Rider High School, his attire consists of the school's standard uniform; a black, long-sleeved dress shirt, matching black dress pants, and black dress shoes.
In part with his appearance, Geoffrey is a soft-spoken, kind-hearted, well meaning individual, and garners a great deal of respect from both his peers and his elders for this reason. He is an intellectual, desiring to go into the medical profession, like his father. Most of all, however, he seems to respect and look up to his mother; whom he feels has had a greater role in his upbringing. In part with his frail-looking appearance, Geoffrey often curses his own powerlessness, desiring to protect his older sister, mother, and father, as well as his numerous friends, despite lacking the ability to.
Geoffrey is a promising student, ranking within the top five in his class concerning his grades, though he claims he lacks in the are of Physical Education. He can often be seen diligently studying and faithfully completing his homework assignments, which often catches him flack from his friends, who are often less committed than he is. While he can be polite towards others, especially his elders, using the proper honorifics to address his peers. However, with people he feels indifferent towards, he can often slip up and not use honorifics, with mixed responses.
He seems to have a close relationship with his sister, as the two are often seen going out to eat and chatting on a quite friendly level when the two have time.

- Vladik Volkov was initially meant to be the main character of Blutmond, but this was decided against in order to build a character up from the very start; from powerlessness.
- He is commonly referred to as just "Geoff", or "Geoffster" by his best friend, Ron.
