In line with its continuing growth and rise in profits, First Gulf Bank PJSC, (FGB), the leading financial partner of choice in the UAE, today announced that it has witnessed yet another successful quarter for the period of Q1 2012. The bank stated that it recorded a Net Profit of AED 935 million, a 7% increase compared to the same period in 2011.
FGB's strong business fundamentals and sound policies are the key drivers behind generating consistent positive results. The bank's core strategy continues to focus mainly on efficiently managing the balance sheet, on applying wise risk standards and on maintaining strong marketing momentum while enhancing simultaneously operations in all divisions locally and overseas.
FGB started 2012 with a positive momentum, whereby the analysis of FGB's revenue during the 1st Quarter, highlighted a very strong contribution from the Net Interest and Islamic financing income at AED 1,297 million; 13% higher than Q1 of 2011. Furthermore, the Net Interest Margin of 3.6% was successfully maintained at the same level as Q1 of last year.
During Q1 of 2012, FGB remained the leader in the market through efficiently managing the group's expenses. FGB ended the quarter with a cost to income ratio of 19.4%, which is by far the lowest in the UAE banking industry. The group expenses amounted to AED 324 million, which was 22% higher than Q1 2011 but 5% lower than Q4 2011.
The income generated from fees and commissions by the Corporate and the Retail Bank totalled AED 307 million; which despite being 24% lower than Q1'2011, were back on ascending trend exceeding Q3 2011 by 18% and exceeding Q4 2011 by 26%.
Commenting on the bank's performance during the first quarter of this year, Andre' Sayegh, CEO of FGB said: "We have started 2012 with a strong momentum and we continue to display a consistent growth. Our strength is our balanced business strategy and our structured marketing capabilities to recognize enticing business opportunities, both on the local and international levels. This strategy enabled us to achieve a solid Q1 Net profit of AED 935 million; which is 7% higher than Q1 of last year. Net Profits were split between 97% contributions from our core banking businesses, while the remaining 3% were generated from the subsidiaries and associated companies of the group."
FGB's focus on its emerging global expansion plans continued to generate positive results. The revenue made by the international centers for Q1 2012 contributed 4% to the Net Profit.
Abdulhamid Saeed Managing Director and Board Member, FGB, commented: "First Gulf Bank is actively expanding its geographical footprint in strategic markets. Our existing international network continues to increase its contribution to our group's net profits. We are always looking at the best investment opportunities, building on the strong synergies between our local and international businesses."
Balance Sheet Liquidity:
During Q1 2012, FGB focused on efficiently managing its excess of liquidity in order to bring it to appropriate levels. Liquid Assets to Total Assets ratio was at 14.7% compared to 13.9% by end of year 2011. While Loan to Deposit Ratio was at 101%, the Central Bank Advance to Stable Deposit Ratio was at a comfortable level of 86.8%. These strong liquidity ratios were coupled with a relatively high Return On Average Assets of 2.4% which is always higher than FGB peer group of large UAE banks.,
Furthermore during the first quarter of 2012, FGB has also received excellent investor endorsement from the region, Europe and Asia, through a 2.8 times oversubscription of its 5 year USD 500 million Sukuk (Islamic bonds) issuance.
Capitalisation and Earnings per Share:
By the end of March 2012, Total Shareholders' Equity stood at AED 26 billion, and Capital Adequacy Ratio was at 21.2%.The Earnings per Share for the first three months of 2012 at AED 0.30 was 11% higher than AED 0.27 for the same period last year.
The earnings per share reflect the new number of outstanding shares at 3 billion. In effect, the number of shares has doubled during the quarter following the General Assembly of Shareholders' decision in February 2012 to grant 100% bonus shares to all its shareholders. This was in addition to the AED 1.5 billion cash dividend distribution being 100% of capital which is materialising in one dirham cash grant per share.
These distributions were the highest ever in the history of FGB and in the whole UAE banking sector.
Abdulhamid Saeed, stated: "These distributions were in line with the bank's commitment to always provide the best returns possible for its shareholders. Our strategy for the future will focus on strengthening our customers' relationships and on building a strong brand position. We will continue to work towards maintaining a top leading position in the financial industry and on maximising returns to all stakeholders."
Asset quality and Provisioning:
The Asset quality was stable during the first quarter of 2012. The ratio of Non Performing Loans (NPLs) to Gross Loans was at 3.5%. The same ratio was at 3.4% by end of December 2011 and 3.7% by end of March 2011.
"We have also improved our Provision Coverage Ratio, which exceeded 100% and stood at 102% by end of March 2012 comparing to 98% by end of December 2011 and 97% by end of March 2011. Bearing in mind, that the collaterals held by the bank against its loan portfolio are over and above the coverage ratio, without factoring the exposure to Dubai Holding which is still under restructuring, the asset quality has stabilized and we are comfortable with these levels of provisioning," said Sayegh.
Andre' Sayegh concluded: "Through building specialization and Synergy within our various businesses, with powerful stakeholders and with strong guidance from our Board of Directors, we are confident to continue the growth journey, build further strength and achieve the targeted results for First Gulf Bank. In addition to winning a number of awards and recognitions this year, FGB was reaffirmed with an A+/stable outlook by Fitch earlier this month, which symbolizes the positive note that the financial industry shares in our future potential."

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - Boss FAQ
MGS2 is the greatest game ever to grace the earth. No contest. So, naturally, I wanted to write an FAQ for it. Here it is. First I'll give you tips on how to be successful with bosses in MGS2. Here they are: -ALWAYS have rations equipped. No matter how good you are, rations are a must (except for perhaps Olga and Fortune). -Decide if you want to put the enemy to sleep or kill them, since there is two health bars. I recommend always trying to kill 'em, but hey, suit yourself. -Keep moving. A moving target is less likely to get hit than a sitting duck. -The first time you play a boss, try to get their strategy down so if you die you will know how to beat them. -Cartwheeling works very well to dodge missiles, etc. Other FAQs say that the two last bosses' missiles are undodgable. Don't listen. The cartwheel gets you away from any heat-seeking missile in this game, I guarantee. -Shake down bosses when you're done to get their dog tag. -Most importantly, always have a large supply of ammo in stock. Some bosses take a lot of firepower to beat. Now, let's start. And remember, I'm only covering bosses. OLGA (Tanker) sex: bad-ass female origin: Russian Spetsnaz difficulty: easy (for ve-ex combined) This game isn't nearly as complicated as IGN writers say it is, so let me tell it my way. She will run behind boxes and peek out to fire her USP, and when she does peek out fire a dart at her head for maximum damage. You can also hit her while she's running. If you suck at this game, shoot out the light in the left corner so she won't be able to blind you and shoot the connections from the tarp to the weapons' rack. If you're good, like me, you could beat her before she says, "Whoever you are, you're not stopping us!", and if you suck she'll throw about ten grenades at you before she goes down. While I'm at that topic, let me tell you about the grenades. If you haven't mastered this game, like me, she will heave grenades at you. When you hear her yell, "Take this!" immediately move away from your general area. Also, throwing magazines to divert her attention to a different place works, for it confuses her. The strategy above applies to ve-ha. On extreme immediately lay under and between the two center boxes and when you see her fire. She can't hit you with the USP here, but when she yells, "Take this!", get up and roll. One grenade kills you, two bullets kill you. If you're not that good, go back and get rations in the southwestern corner at the beginning and pick up the M9 bullets. Shooting the light is a good idea, so if you're not that good, take it out. That's pretty much it for Olga. FORTUNE (Plant) sex: deadly female origin: American Navy SEALs Dead Cell difficulty: easy Simple. Just hide behind the boxes while she fires, crouch, when she hits a barrel go behind the other boxes, and repeat the process. She will eventually destroy the room. No explanation is needed for this boss. Just don't waste any bullets on her. She's untouchable. FATMAN (Plant) sex: obese male origin: American Navy SEALs Dead Cell difficulty: medium Our fat friend plants bombs across the area. Always have Sensor A equipped. You must spray the bombs while taking him down. There are many ways to do this, so pay attention. My way is shooting him multiple times in the torso, making him fall, and shooting him in the head as he gets up. You can also just plain hit him in the head, although that's hard because he's on skates, and you can punch/cartwheel into him. He's large and in charge, so I don't recommend the latter strategy. Use one of these tactics when no bombs are in play or there's a lot of time left and you know where the bomb is. Let's get to defusing the bombs. Fatman places bombs on, over, and sometimes under large crates, racks, and barrels. ALWAYS have Sensor A equipped. To find the ones under crates, sometimes crouch, but sometimes you must crawl completely under the crate to find it. This helps, because Fatman follows you. He stops and looks around for you as you're down there, so shoot him in the leg a buncha times to make him topple. He'll be dying, and pick up his disgustingly obese body to reveal the large bomb. On Normal you will get 60 seconds to defuse 2-3 bombs during the fight, Easy 80 seconds, VE 100 seconds, Hard 45 seconds, and Extreme a ridiculous 30 seconds. Good luck! Hello again! For more info, read my last Boss FAQ, which is now posted on this site. Lets pick up where we started, shall we? HARRIER (Plant) sex: pending origin: Navy SEAL jet difficulty: semi hard If you know what you're doing, this isn't too hard. If you're an amateur, get ready to be killed. The Harrier has so many lethal attacks at it's disposal, while puny little Raiden runs around with his faggoty little missile launcher and tries to fire them at the monstrous jet. However, Solidus isn't exactly Mick Jagger, so you won't have trouble inflicting damage. The jet flies around at the beginning, and take the opportunity to shoot it when the lock-on turns red. Then it flies away. Keep your Stinger pointed to where he left and soon a star will appear. Point the launcher at it and fire. You should get two solid hits while Solidus struggles to hit you with the machine gun. Note: ALWAYS take Snake's rations. You'll need 'em. The Harrier will come right above you at one point, and just keep firing that Stinger at it, preferably at it's cockpit, and it's grenades will go off before they reach you and damage will be inflicted. Halfway through the fight Solidus will drop some kind of smart bombs, so immediately run when you hear him yell. When its about to land cartwheel. Have rations equipped too. You'll be burning, so cartwheel and shake it off. Then he'll say, "I'll take you out with style!" Run like hell to dodge his heat-seeking missiles. If you've stocked up on rations, like I often do, you can just fire the Harrier when it does this, for it's a goose on glue. The fight will continue like this. Best of luck, and ALWAYS BE PATIENT. Semper fi. I'm back! Hope the first part of my FAQ helped y'all. Remember, if you have any questions, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Also do this if you've find something you feel you need to tell me, which probably won't happen, since I'm only missing six dog tags in the entire game, five of them on extreme and one on hard. I'll post everything I get. Let's get back to the bosses, shall we? VAMP (Plant) sex: bisexual, but yeah, he's male origin: Romanian, Navy SEALs DEAD CELL difficulty: hard Some people will tell you that Vamp isn't too hard, some will say he's impossible. Strategy means everything here. The first time I played him, I had only one ration. The second time, 5. The amount of rations is key. Secondly, ALWAYS MURDER HIM! The first time I used the grenade launcher (second time I put him to sleep to get his dog tag, which is not listed in any other FAQ, but I'll get back to that later), but then my friend told me it was much easier to use the AK. It all depends on what you prefer. To me the AK is much better, cause it's automatic and shoots out all the knives. Let's talk about attacking methods. Whichever weapon you use, shoot him immediately when he stands on or behind water. Every time except for the last he will go underwater. Now SHOOT OUT THE FOUR MAIN LIGHTS ON THE CEILING! That will make the fight twice as easy, for he will not cast his "shadow attack" on you, which makes it so you can't move. Then he will leap up to the catwalks. When he is glowing with red fire don't bother shooting him; he is intangible. When he stops to throw knives go all out with the AK, or use the grenade launcher if you're stuck on it. But the AK will either blast him a couple times or take out those pesky knives. Speaking of those knives, never try to dodge them. Just keep shooting them. This is the most important part. ALWAYS GO IN FIRST PERSON VIEW! He will dodge every single solitary one of your lock-on bullets. Halfway through he runs around trying to slash you. If you shot out the lights, this will be much easier. Run around and when you feel you're a safe distance in front of him fire. He will jump up into a little nook right above where you started. Wait until he jumps out and shoot him in mid-air. He will start swimming. Don't shoot him when he's underwater, even with the Stinger. It will do minimal damage. Soon he'll begin to throw knives a helluva lot faster, but never dodge 'em. Even when he runs even faster to slash you don't abandon the strategy I wrote earlier. When he has one bullet left to kill him, he will run and jump around the catwalks and floor. Now it is almost impossible to hit him. Take out your Socom, 'cause that's the best precision shooter you have. When he's across the water, no closer, go in first person view and pull the trigger. If you have any marksmanship ability, which, if you don't, turn this off and play Crash Bandicoot and watch Blues Clues, he will catapult into the water, holding onto his neck. Congrats! On Ex he will run and throw twice as fast, and there's two ways to beat him. Use the Stinger or plant claymores where he will jump up onto the floor. The third way is by use of the sniper, but that will take many lives to get down pat. Also, don't shoot nearly as much as I told you to above. Dodge the knives and keep running from him when he dashes on ground. You could, would, should beat him if you follow this. VAMP II (Plant) same as above difficulty: easy No strategy involved here. Just be sure to snipe Vamp at the highest point of the head you can, for that will automatically veer away from Emma. His head will keep snapping back. REPEATEDLY use Pentzamin. It will save Emma's life in this "battle". On Ex he will hold her high, so you must shoot out his legs and feet. Easy, huh? METAL GEAR RAY sex: is this required for nuclear walking tanks? origin: Marines anti-metal gear project difficulty: semi hard I will caution you. This depends on acrobatics. The first time it took me six tries to beat this, the second I beat it on my first try without getting touched once. Unless you have a rep for flawless victory, rations are critical. Use the Stinger. Lets go to work. As other FAQs say (this is just about the first time I'm agreeing with them), shoot the RAY's leg first, which will enable his attacks ineffective and, more importantly, open his mouth. Don't just stand there, fire that big dopey Stinger missile into his well-oiled eating pump. Keep doing this with the ones that step forward. They will fire heat-seeking missiles into the air, so when you hear the beep for a short amount of time start running. Chaff helps a lot to confuse the enemy. Also, run forward to get the rations in the middle of the platform while avoiding RAY's laser attack and foot stomps. When it fires straight heat-seeking missiles, do not listen to other FAQs. Ducking to avoid them is complete bullshit! YOU MUST CARTWHEEL TO DODGE THEM! The strategy isn't very explainable, just keep running and cartwheeling to dodge the missiles and machine guns, which you must carthweel also, and when you get a chance fire at the legs, then the mouth. There are only five you must destroy, so don't waste time and missiles firing at the OBF ones. The strategy doesn't change on higher difficulties, just be more cautious and don't shoot as often. Congrats! Stay tuned for the final boss strategy!

|This a sweet pitch. The 5.7 rating seems a bit old school. The bottom 25ft or so felt much harder than that, but once you leave the water groove it backs off in a hurry and becomes very low angle. Cruiser the rest of the way. Have bolts been added to this down low-- didn't seem as insane as I was expecting? Still way runout higher up-- but it is really easy...

OU Baseball Clinches Big 12 Series Versus TCU
Junior infielder Matt Oberste hit safely in his 28th consecutive game to break the school record, helping the No. 16-ranked University of Oklahoma baseball team beat TCU, 3-1, and win its Big 12 Conference opening series Saturday at L. Dale Mitchell Park.
The Sooners (21-4, 2-0 Big 12) rattled off their ninth straight win and sealed the weekend series victory over the Horned Frogs (9-13, 1-4 Big 12). OU won the series opener Friday, 3-2, in 12 innings.
"It wasn't 12 innings, but it's never easy," said OU head coach Sunny Golloway. "I think it speaks volumes to our conference, how tough every game is. I think our schedule up to this point has prepared us. We've had a reasonable amount of success, and we've had some failures that we got to learn from. It shows that we were prepared going into conference play."
Oberste sent a one-out single through the right side in the bottom of the sixth inning to extend his hitting streak to a school-record 28 straight games dating back to the 2012 season. His streak breaks the previous record of 27 straight games with a hit set by Marty Neff in 1991.
"It's an honor and a privilege to be up there with that kind of group," said Oberste of breaking the school record. "It's unforunate that we can't put the whole team at the top of the list, because they helped just as much as I did."
Oberste has also reached base safely in 32 consecutive games dating back to last season. He leads the OU offense with a .474 batting average, .845 slugging percentage, .539 on-base percentage, 46 hits -- including 19 for extra bases -- 33 RBI and 26 runs scored.
"It's worthy of all of our comments, there's no doubt," said Golloway of Oberste's record-breaking streak. "It's a tremendous feat. At 14 or 15 games, you start thinking about it a little bit. It has become a monster, there's no doubt. I said in the clubhouse (before the game) that Matt would break the record today. I was quick to make sure we secured the baseball for him. He'll always have that. Nobody can take that away from him."
Junior southpaw starting pitcher Dillon Overton fanned four over 5.2 innings of work and earned the pitching victory to improve to 6-1 on the season. Freshman righty Corey Copping tossed 1.2 scoreless innings in relief of Overton before giving way to freshman lefty Jacob Evans, who nailed down his fourth save of the season with 1.2 scoreless frames of work. Evans bailed the Sooners out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning to preserve OU's 3-1 lead. He has not surrendered a run in each of his last nine appearances out of the bullpen.
"It's amazing," said Golloway of Evans. "We keep putting him in tough positions, and all he does is keep coming up big. We've got four starters who are freshmen, then we go to a freshman in Copping, then we close it with a freshman in Evans. I would challenge you to look around the country and tell me another top-25 program that's depending on six freshmen in a crucial conference series."
Oklahoma jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third. Freshman outfielder Craig Aikin coaxed a one-out walk, then stole second. He scored OU's first run by way of a single back up the middle by senior outfielder/infielder Max White. White stole second, swiped third one out later and then scored on a muffed throw by TCU sophomore infielder Kevin Cron at first base.
The Horned Frogs cut the OU lead to 2-1 in the top of the sixth when redshirt senior infielder Jantzen Witte legged out an infield single to second and later tagged up and scored on a sacrifice fly to right by sophomore infielder Derek Odell.
Oklahoma made it a two-run ballgame again in the home half, though, as Oberste hit his record-breaking single with one out, then scored on a single and a fielding error that allowed freshman infielder Kolbey Carpenter to reach second, extending OU's advantage to 3-1.
TCU threatened to turn the tide of the contest in the eighth by loading up the bases with one out, but Evans entered the game and struck out Odell swinging and got sophomore infielder Keaton Jones to fly out to left to extinguish the threat.
Oklahoma eyes its first Big 12 series sweep of the season when its hosts TCU Sunday at L. Dale Mitchell Park. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. CT. The contest will be televised live on FOX Sports Southwest Plus and FOX College Sports.

Stansell adds onto Floyd County cage scoring leads
Johnson's Wildcats didn't have any success in the Northwest Georgia Invitational Basketball Tournament, but it was through no fault of Jimmy Stansell.
The tough, dead-eye senior scored 20 points in Johnson's loss to West Haralson last week and remained the county's top scorer. He has collected 215 points in 11 games, good for a 19.5 average.
Technically, Billy Stephenson of Georgia School for the Deaf holds the best average, however Stephenson has played in only two games. He has 49 points for a 24.5 mark.
Third best shooter is Billy Langston of Cave Spring, with 195 points in 12 games for a 16.1 average. Woody James of East Rome and Randy Dixon of Model are tied for fourth with 15.8 averages.
Cave Spring, despite its tournament loss to Cedartown, took over the team defense lead. The Springers have allowed 446 points in 12 games, which averages out to 37.2 per game. This is 1.5 points better than Berry's Falcons.
Johnson remains the top scoring outfit with a 58.5 per game average. Berry is second with a 58.2 average, followed next by Darlington with 54.6 points per game.
Two teams in Floyd County have won 10 games, which is high. Berry's boys are 10-2 for the campaign, while the Cave Spring girls have amassed a 10-1 record.
The girls' leaders remained unchanged in all categories, since all teams were idle.

10,058 long distance calls placed in Rome
". . . and to all a good night!"
That was the weary reaction of the 61 Rome telephone operators who worked in shifts helping put through 10,058 long distance calls on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
A total of 4,957 long distance calls originated here on Christmas Eve and 5,101 on Christmas Day, according to John C. Busbin, Southern Bell District Manager.
Last year's long distance calls numbered 3,957 on Christmas Eve and 5,144 on Christmas Day. These figures do not include the large number of incoming calls.

Rockmart bands score hit in Yule program
ROCKMART — Rockmartians attending the concert, "The Spirit of Christmas," presented by the combined bands of Rockmart High school and directed by Charles Lawson Thursday evening, were rewarded with an evening of rare entertainment, with well-chosen music, beautifully rendered by the junior high school band, the Melodaires stage band and the Jacket high school band.
Mr. Lawson demonstrated that his direction was precise and that there was a deep understanding and sympathy in interpreting the music of the planned program between the band performers and their mentor.
The program opened with a Chanson, by John Kinyon, this one being set to modern harmony, having originated in France in the 15th century. This was followed by a free and flowing Irish folk tune, reminiscent of the style and sound of another Irish folk song, Danny Boy.
"Three Chorales for Christmas," arranged by Milton Vincent, "The Alleluia" from the "Christmas Oratorio" and a holly wreath medley completed the first segment by the junior high group.
The second portion by the high school stage band included "Beatnik Fly," "Let it Be Me," a French love song featuring the trombone section and "Bubbly Music," which was a spoofing of a famous television's Champagne Music.
The Jacket band's opening number was "Caconne," by Frank Erickson. Originally a wild and sensuous Mexican dance, it was imported into Spain during the 16th century. Once imported into Europe, however, it lost its unbridled character entirely and became a continuous variation in moderately slow tempo.
Their subsequent number included a "Folk Song Suite," by Ralph Vaughn-Williams, which were: "A March," "Seventeen Come Sunday" and "Intermezzo," "My Sonny Boy" and "Folk Songs from Somerset," all revivals of old English songs, composed by Vaughn-Williams, in a new style which became evident in 1880.
"Alamada" (Pasa Doble), by Ernest G. Caneva, brought a bright change of pace in the program – this sprightly number coming from Spain. The Spirit of Christmas group, which played "Jolly Saint Nicholas," "Good King Wenceslas Coventry Carol," "Away in a Manger," "Pat-a-Pan" (a Burgundian Air) and "Joy to the World" followed by "Cantique de Noel," arranged by Harold D. Waters and composed by Adolphe Adan, were especially beautiful and appreciated as part of our traditional Christmas music, and "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" was pleasing.
A traditional symphonic melody closed the program, a treat to all music lovers attending the presentation.

Gates through Berlin wall open earlier
BERLIN (UPI) – Throngs of West Berliners carrying gifts to brighten Christmas Eve for their relatives in East Berlin passed through gaps in the Communist Berlin wall today.
Thousands of other West Berliners waited patiently in line in the snow for passes to make post-Christmas visits. The last passes for Christmas Day visits were issued Monday.
The pass bureaus in West Berlin school gymnasiums set their opening three hours early today to permit the 240 East German postal clerks processing passes to go home at 3 p.m. and decorate their own Christmas tree.
Berlin's atmosphere of Christmas cheer was shattered Monday by Communist machine gun fire along the anti-refugee wall, where it separates West Berlin from East Germany.
Communist VOPOS (people's police) apparently fired on and captured and East German attempting to reach West Berlin. It was not known whether the refugee was hit by the gun fire.
The shooting was the first such incident since the East German Communist regime opened a crack in the wall last Thursday to permit West Berliners to visit their relatives in East Germany for the first time since the wall was built 28 months ago.
The Communists expected the biggest rush of visitors Wednesday. They promised to widen the crossing point at the Chaussee Strasse so that two lines of cars could move through together and to reopen a footbridge beside the Oberbaum Bridge crossing as they did on Sunday for the first big wave of visitors.

Miso of rookie girl group GLAM made the other members erupt into laughter when she got on an airplane barefoot.
June 6th's broadcast of SBS-MTV's 'Real Music Drama GLAM' showed some behind-the-scenes footage.
In this episode, GLAM's members told Miso that people have to take off their shoes when they get on the airplane, and Miso, who was getting on the airplane for the first time, believed the members' joke. Miso ended up getting on the plane barefoot.
In the following interview, Miso found fault in herself for being clueless and shared her aegyo-filled complaint, "I'm worried that people will think I'm stupid. I just believed the unnies."
Netizens commented, "It really must be her first time getting on the plane," "She really took off her shoes, daebak," "She seems innocent," "I've been watching her since 'Birth of a Great Star'," and "It looks like their album is coming out soon."
'Real Music Drama GLAM' is aired every Wednesday at 8:30PM KST on SBS-MTV.

Constituents who packed U.S. 6th District Rep. Tom Emmer's first town hall meeting of the year remained civil yet persisent and feisty in expressing their political exasperation.
Approximately 150 people filled the Sartell City Council chambers for the Wednesday, Feb. 22, event. The Sartell Police Department estimated that approximately 400 people waited outside after the doors were closed.
The majority of those waiting in line spent the late afternoon waving signs, singing songs or shouting chants expressing their concerns about Republican plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act or expressing strong opposition to early policy decisions being made by President Donald Trump.
Demonstrators from groups representing Indivisible Minnesota Congressional District 6, Stand Up Minnesota and Expect Resistance attended the meeting.
Sartell resident Sue O'Hara arrived at 1:45 p.m. and was the first in line prior to the start of the town hall.
"The message that we want to give him today is if he doesn't represent us in a way that the people are asking for, he won't be elected in 2018," O'Hara said while standing in line, adding her primary issue was health care.
O'Hara said she was fearful Republican proposals for high-risk insurance pools, possible caps and skyrocketing insurance rates would mean bankruptcy for her family.
"There are proposals to make the premiums for standard risk people more affordable. I get that. But that leaves those of us with chronic disease with choices that are untenable," she said.
David FitzSimmons, Emmer's chief of staff, introduced the congressman after a large media contingent and town hall meeting participants had taken their places.
The day before, FitzSimmons had issued a press release that addressed the possibility of the meeting becoming heated and possibly disrupted.
Reports about town halls across country over the past few weeks have been troubling, FitzSimmons stated, adding many of the forums to discuss ideas and opinions had often included shouting, chanting, and other disruptive behavior.
FitzSimmons said if Emmer's town hall turned disruptive, or if there were any violent actions or threats, the meeting would end and Emmer and his staff would reassess the congressman's town hall policy.
"Sartell City Hall staff and personnel have been being great setting this event up, but they are working overtime, so we are going to try and keep this on time," FitzSimmons said.
Emmer opened the meeting by recalling attendance at the 24 town halls he had completed in his first two years in office.
"I'm really grateful that you are here. All of you," Emmer said. "We've had crowds before. I apologize. I think in the future, we'll use bigger venues."
Emmer said he and Gov. Mark Dayton were in agreement on the Affordable Care Act not working for Minnesota.
"It's simply become unaffordable," Emmer said. "I think as we go forward, we need to talk about pre-existing medical conditions, which are incredibly important.
Minnesota was cutting-edge when it came to taking care of people who could not take care of themselves, and trying to make sure that people who had been denied could access coverage, Emmer said.
"The goal [with health care reform] is returning that type of decision-making back to the states, so they can design programs that work," he said.
Jim Read, a 2014 Democratic candidate who lost the Democratic-Farmer-Labor endorsement to Joe Perske at the Democratic convention, asked Emmer if he would wait for specifics on a Republication Affordable Care Act repeal package.
"The Affordable Care Act is in a death spiral," Emmer said. "Gov. Mark Dayton has made it very clear that the Affordable Care Act is done. This thing is not working."
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price will restoring the authority [for health care reform] to the state level, Emmer said.
"We'll be able to re-institute programs like we had in the past," Emmer said. "We need to give the decision-making authority back to the state of Minnesota."
Immigration policy was another issue addressed by constituents. Haji Yussuf is a Somali man and Muslim who grew up in Kenya, graduated from St. Cloud State University, and chose to stay in the St. Cloud area to raise his family and help his community. He owns a multi-lingual advertising and consulting business called Orange Oak Plus.
"The message that is coming from Washington, D.C. is that Muslims are dangerous for this country," Yussif told Emmer. "I want you to go back to Washington and tell the president my two- and three-year-old kids are in no way a threat to this country. They are Americans. We love this country."
Emmer replied that Americans deserved to be safe and able to live to their full potential. "I'm one of 535 voting members of Congress and we have to move this to term. You have an administration that's indicated immigration is an issue it wants to deal with in terms of the laws that are on the books and determine whether or not they make sense, and if so, which ones should go."
President Trump's executive order regarding immigration was rolled out extremely quickly, Emmer said. That original order, issued a week into his presidency, attempted to bar citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries – Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen – from entering the U.S. for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and refugees from Syria indefinitely.
A panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unanimously upheld a Federal District Court judge's decision to temporarily block the executive order issued by Trump.
"It [the order] could have been communicated much better by the people who were putting it out," Emmer said. "We want to make sure people who come to this country to pursue their dreams do so legally. The issue that we have going forward is properly vetting people."
Several town hall attendees asked Emmer about Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the possibility that President Trump's campaign members interacted with Russian officials.
David Snyder, the former DFL-endorsed candidate who ran against Emmer in November, challenged Emmer to call for an independent, bipartisan special commission to investigate possible election hacking.
"I would like to see you take the forefront on this issue," Snyder said. Emmer replied, "There are two committees that I understand are working on that, one in the Senate and one in the House. I will support whatever they decide."
Education, minimum wage proposals, workforce development and transportation were other issues addressed by Emmer during the Feb. 22 town hall.
"We don't need someone in Washington, some nameless, faceless bureaucrat, telling our teaching professionals what is best for Minnesota," Emmer said, addressing an education-related question. "Our teachers and parents can figure it out."
Regarding rollback of federal regulations affecting small business, Emmer mentioned House passage of the Regulations from Executive in Need of Scrutiny, or REINS Act.
"There's onslaught of federal regulations affecting people who are just trying to make their way in business, he said. "Regulation is not all bad. But when government promulgates rules without any involvement of Congress, rules that could have an impact of $100 million or more on American citizens, I think we should do a cost-benefit and look at that."
The REINS Act would put in place meaningful checks on agency overreach by requiring congressional approval and the president's signature for major rules.
Emmer told town hall constituents workforce development and its link to post-secondary education would remain a huge issue.
"We've done a disservice to student and parents in the district by making them believe that somehow, everyone has to go get a four-year degree or they are not successful," Emmer said. "You have kids who are getting degrees and incurring debt up to $100,000, and then they try and go out and get a job, and guess what, they can't get the job they need to pay down debt they have incurred with the degree they have earned."
Emmer said he recently toured Anoka Technical College, and was visiting with students in the carpentry program.
"One of them had a degree in psychology from St. Cloud State University, and he tried to go into that profession, and realized he could not make enough money to pay the debt that he had incurred from college," Emmer said. "He's getting an associate's degree in carpentry, and he was hired before he even finished the program. Education should always continue. We should always be thinking about the people we need in the trades."
Laura Lazaretti, an Otsego resident, repeatedly pressed Emmer about a minimum wage increase.
"We don't have a minimum wage increase proposed in Congress," Emmer said. "This is an issue at the state level. I don't support minimum anything, I support maximum wages for maximum-paying jobs."
Emmer said he supports reduced regulation, reducing the overall tax burden, and making sure those who create jobs can take risks and re-invest in the economy.
Transportation was the final topic addressed during the Feb. 22 town hall. Emmer cited Trump's campaign promise to improve infrastructure.
"That bodes well for Minnesota," Emmer said. "Every piece of major transportation infrastructure touches or runs through the 6th Congressional District. If this president is sincere, there are a whole bunch of people in the House and Senate who are ready to get a major infrastructure bill done. It better be in the first year of [Trump's] administration."

"Whoever thinks that he understands the Holy Scriptures, or any part of them, but puts such an interpretation upon them as does not tend to build up this twofold love of God and our neighbor, does not yet understand them as he ought." – St. Augustine
I cannot tell you why I started reading the Bible.
I don't remember. I was a kid and someone handed me a Bible and told me to get to work, so I did.
But I can tell you why I stopped reading the Bible.
I stopped reading the Bible because I and so many of the people around me who read it with devotion and consistency insisted upon using the Bible to prove something. We used the Bible to prove we were right about things, and that others were wrong. The way we voted, the people we liked, even the music to which we listened – all were confirmed and supported by Scriptures. The Bible told us who was in and who was out.
One day I realized that I loved and respected plenty of people who were out. And I didn't love them despite the fact that they didn't fit the mold: I loved them for who they were.
This was a troubling development in my life. As far as I understood, there was only one way to read the Bible, and that way was pushing me to judge others and actively spend time trying to disabuse them of their foolish ways.
Reading the Bible like this failed me. I didn't know what to do – so I stopped reading the Bible.
I can tell you why I started reading the Bible again: I fell in love with Jesus.
After years away from Church and religion, I could not shake the fact that I believed Jesus loved me unconditionally. I wanted to know more. So I picked up the Bible again, and I read the four Gospels. I read Jesus telling people that all the Scriptures hinged on love: Love for God and love for one another. I read Jesus telling people that His command was to love one another. He talked about loving friends and neighbors; he talked about loving enemies and adversaries. His miracles, His teachings, His death, His resurrection – Jesus framed all of these things in the context of love.
I have not been able to stop reading the Bible since.
Read the Bible. Read it with love in your heart. Try to see how it is telling you to love everyone around you.
Read it with others. Disagree with each other, and be ok with that. Try to see what other people think about the Bible, and let that teach you something. Let this make you love them more.
Let the Bible help you love the whole world and all the people in it. In my experience, if you start reading the Bible like this, you will never want to stop.

From: Wayne Austin email@example.com
Date: 10 Mar 2010
Liz I am a serious graveyard
researcher, much more than just an Austin graveyard researcher. I wanted to give
you the Austin listings in the Austin/Croney/Harwell Cemetery that I have now
confirmed against the tombstones. There were errors in the books and other
evidence that suggest relationships there. I see this all the time in
graveyards, though some relationships may not necessarily be written in the
inscriptions. This is some of my analysis on the Austin portion of this
graveyard. I see the genealogy of James only mentions a daughter but I believe
at least the W. E. Austin to be a son based on the way the graves are laid out
in this cemetery. here is my listing and some analysis. I will add more
information to this as I get closer to publishing this cemetery on the Internet
at the URL I sent you earlier.
James, (b. 8 Dec 1772) d. 18 Oct 1840, Aged 67 yrs, 10 mo. 10 days
AUSTIN, Mary, 29 Oct 1825 , Aged 50 yrs, 6 mos., 29 das. (wife of James, AFAOA list her maiden name as Keeling)
AUSTIN, John V., 1 Nov 1858 - -- Apr 1861. "son of W.E. & Mary E. Austin"
AUSTIN, Lucinda P., 13 Mar 1878 - 13 Jul 1878. (infant stone not found in 10 Mar 2010 survey by Wayne Austin.)
AUSTIN, W. E., 23 Oct 1817 - 3 May 1876. (probably the son of James & Mary Keeling Austin as the stone is next to James & Mary Austin in the same row.)
AUSTIN, Mary E., 25 Oct 1832 - 27 Jan 1910. (Believe this is the wife of W. E. Austin as she and W.E. inscriptions are on the same tombstone.)
AUSTIN, unknown, (Fieldstone marked grave with no inscription on the north side of Ruby J. Austin which is likely her husband. No other graves are around those two.)
AUSTIN, Ruby J., 16 May 1854 - 11 Dec 1900. (Giles Co cem book transcribed this as Reuben James Austin w/same dates. Reuben James is a male gender name. The tombstone shows a ladies name and it list this epitaph: "A loving wife and mother dear lies buried here". This confirms the Giles Co cemetery book is listed incorrectly. [WA 14 mar 2010])
AUSTIN, Sarah H., 18 Sep 1781 d. 3 Dec 1870, aged 89 years. (maybe a single daughter of James as she is off by herself. Need more proof.)
DILLON, Edward Austin, d. 30 Sep 1826, aged 21 years, 10 months and 26 days. (He is probably the son of an Austin daughter of James' (b. 1772))
I believe the Harlows in this
cemetery are related to the Austins. Some of the graves are in the same rows and
even have some co-mingling of grave proximity. The Harlow's are fairly
old, but I am not including them in this analysis. Chances are good there was
an Austin daughter that married a Harlow. Croneys are much later (unless they
are part of the early unmarked graves) and are interred on the other end of the
cemetery so that lessens the chances of a relationship and may mean they bought
the Austin farm. I am told it was a log structure with 60' length beams. After
dismantling, these were sold to a Nashville Country Music Land Developer, to be
used in a restoration effort.
I was told by the land owner of the Austin/Croney/Harwell Cemetery the Austins of the Austin Cemetery of Ardmore Tennessee are related even though that is partly in Lincoln county. He was only going on here-say so don't know how reliable that is. That is really only about 3- 4 miles southeast of here also in Giles County, but across the Elk River. I was referring to this Alexander Austin, b. 1864 a much later guy. I have seen his photo and he does some favor my father with the lanky prominent face & jaw line. However that is a common trait too.
Austin Cemetery, Ardmore, Lincoln County Tn. (about
three miles southeast of Austin/Croney/Harwell Cem)
Austin, Alex b., Mar. 4, 1864 d. Nov. 23, 1934
Austin, Alex C., Jr 40b. Feb. 23, 1915 d. Nov. 21, 1989
Austin, C. H., II b. Oct. 4, 1948 d. Sep. 8, 2002
Austin, Carter H., b. Oct. 6, 1896 d. Sep. 3, 1951
Austin, Carter H., "Pete" b. Oct. 4, 1948 d. Sep. 8, 2002
Austin, Dovie W,. b. Oct. 3, 1917 d. Aug. 2, 1994
Austin, Jerrye Todd, b. Apr. 28, 1943 d. Nov. 3, 1995
Austin, Maggie R., b. May 10, 1872 d. Jan. 30, 1953
Murrah, Glen Dale, b. Sep. 18, 1940 d. Apr. 6, 2008
Nelson, Catherine S. Austin, b. Sep. 14, 1908 d. Jun. 16, 1991
Thomas, Byrom Scott, b. Oct. 9, 1972 d. Feb. 13, 1995
There are other Austins buried near in the Elkton/Carney/Camp/Miller Cemetery the largest cemetery of the Elkton community. This is northeast of here 2 miles as a crow flies.

Over all those years and all those rivers I can't say that anything about our fishing together bothered me. Anything that may have was turned into a matter for humor that we both could have a good laugh on. Even though I sometimes took the fishing very seriously as did he, we always found something to make fun of ourselves about. Not all trips turned out as we had hoped.
We took many long trips and during the hours on the road we pontificated the problems of our world and of our lives. We talked about everything that seemed to matter along with those that didn't, and we talked about fishing a lot
Since I left North central Pennsylvania in 2004 to the best of my understanding he has only went fishing a handful of times. He tells me that it just isn't the same. He says that "It wasn't really the fishing, it was the camaraderie that he enjoyed". He says I was the engine and that he enjoyed the ride.
I left Pennsylvania on a mission, I knew I would fish and that I would fish alone now without my old buddy. We stay in touch, I keep hoping that he will come here one day to see what I've found but this isn't for everyone. This place can be hostile with its weather and the rivers are a challenge in more ways than one. I don't know if we'll fish here together or not but if we do it'll be a good day. Until that day he says that he lives a life on the rivers vicariously through me................
YOU need to do everything you can to get him up to AK to fish, he enjoys the ride, take him on another ride.

Blago Starts 14 year Jail Sentence Today
I think that 14 years is a little excessive jail time for Blago. Sure, he broke the law, but he didn't kill. Who did he piss off? There has to be more to this story. Expect Blago to be pardoned by Obama within the next 5 years if they are able to steal the election in November.
Blago did mention something about Obama being investigated by the FBI and then it was never mentioned again. Maybe that was it?

CONNECTING STUDENTS WITH OPPORTUNITES: Job Shadowing and Internships
The Business/Education Partnership of Sangamon County is pleased to introduce a directory of job shadowing and internship programs for students in Sangamon County. Both of these programs offer businesses and organizations an opportunity to work with young people while students gain a better insight into future careers and professions.
Job shadowing and internship programs provide outstanding learning opportunities for students and help keep businesses connected with local schools by developing new partnerships. Through these partnerships, businesses are helping to ensure the development of a well prepared and educated workforce for tomorrow's jobs. This feat is accomplished by offering real-life work environments and first-hand experiences that help students better understand their selected areas of interests and what it takes to achieve their long-term educational and employment goals.
The process of connecting businesses with students begins with your commitment and your company's listing in a Job Shadowing and Student Internship Directory. This directory will be used by coordinators of work based learning programs to connect interested students with appropriate businesses.
For more information about these programs or if you have specific questions related to the involvement of your business, please contact Sarah Graham.

Snowboarder Magazine's 2009 "Best of Test" Award
Park City, UT (August 28, 2009) — Rossignol's Angus snowboard wins 1 of only 3 Snowboarder Magazine's Best of Test awards. The Best of Test award is a very high honor. Over a hundred riders from all over the country tested thousands of boards, in a multitude of snow conditions and terrain, throughout the winter at on snow demos. From thousands of boards the list is narrowed down and the top 3 boards, for the 09-10 season, are given the Best of Test award.
The Angus got some of the most positive feedback from riders in the test because of the unique camber technology Amptek. Jim, from The Sports Page in Queensbury, NY, said "I was blown away by this board; it was hands-down my favorite. Slight reverse camber so it's very quick into the turn. Great at high speed, and still fun to play around on in the trees and the park. Rossi is at the top of my list, and at $399, yo ass must be crazy! A++"
North American Product Manager Eric Hutchison says "When you consider the single most influential factor leading to a board purchase is a shop employee's recommendation, winning a Snowboarder Magazine Best of Test award is huge for Rossignol Snowboards. The Angus debuts our new Amptek Camber technology which we consider to be the future of snowboard design. So to have immediate validation at the shop level for our latest and greatest design certainly bodes well for the future of Rossignol Snowboards. "
The Angus is an all mountain snowboard that delivers all around performance and ease of use. The unique shape, called Amptek, combines rocker (or reverse camber) at the tip and tail with traditional camber under foot. The Angus' Amptek technology delivers the best on-trail performance and the best powder performance all in one board.
The exclusive honor of Snowboarder's Best of Test award represents the broad appeal, high performance and amazing versatility that the Angus delivers.

Regularly people suggest something like TMDA or Active Spam Killer as the "solution" to the spam problem - they reply to unknown senders getting them to whitelist themselves. This always seemed incredibly annoying to me and in fact I got bitten by it when someone emailed me a question about one of my modules, so I spent a good 20 minutes composing a reply only to get a TMDA bounceback suggesting I should validate myself. It was just too much - he emailed ME unsollicited and I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get my email reply to him.
Anyway, I saw this nugget on Slashdot (hey, it happens occasionally!):
I'm amazed by this user-hostile suggestion every time I hear it. Suppose you post your resumé on Monster.com. Who are you going to whitelist? Suppose your friend changes ISPs and then tries to e-mail you his new address? It won't be whitelisted, so it will bounce. Suppose to fill out a tech support request form. You don't know the address of the person that will contact you (or even if they will be the same domain as the web site).
I thought that summed up my thoughts on this quite well.
these people must be very stupid - you can filter 99% of spam without resorting to this kind of thing.
Yes, and most whitelist systems are very dain bread. They work only on putting incoming messages on hold, not examining outgoing messages. Thus the problem.Surely any address you email should be added to the whitelist?

Posted Sun Sep 11th by Monty
Every week, Denver Broncos players and coaches give a fair number of interviews and snippets as they prepare for that weekend's opponent. We'll hand-pick what we think is the best such transcript and post it here.
This week, Champ Bailey talks about the revamped defense and growing a beard. As one Twitter follower described, this defense has Champ sounding like "a kid in a candy shop." Quotes courtesy the Denver Broncos.
On being named a team captain
"It feels good. It means a lot because the players vote; so you definitely have the respect of the guys in the locker room, and that's what's most important."
On being used as a nickelback on third downs
"It's an adjustment, I would just say that. Not a hard one, and not an easy one, but it's just something where I've got to be more inclined to studying more and preparing a lot more because it's different. I've been open to it for years, now, and finally I've got a staff that wants me to do it."
On whether he will play as prominent a role as the nickelback
"I think so, because typically, most teams put their best players in there a lot to get some matchups because some teams put their third-best corner in there. On this team, it's going to be different. I'll be in there, and they're going to have to try to find ways to get that guy the ball, so I will get more opportunities."
On playing the Raiders on Monday Night Football
"I'm very excited. I can't wait. I know the fans are eager to get this one going. We had a decent preseason and hopefully we can build off of that and get out of here with a 'W.'"
On how he feels about his team after the preseason
"It really builds confidence. You don't really know what's going to happen, but I'm confident that we can do good things. As for the type of team we are, I think we are just trying to find our identity and what we're going to be. The only way you create an identity is by going out there and doing it on Sunday night or Monday night, or whatever it might be. We've just got to go play and let it speak for itself."
On having a beard that looks like Brian Wilson's of the San Francisco Giants
"The first time somebody told me I had a beard like Brian Wilson, I didn't know who Brian Wilson was, so I looked it up and found out who he was. I don't think mine's going to grow that long; he's got a really long beard."
On being compared to Brian Wilson
"He plays one inning a game and I play four quarters, so I'm putting in more work than he is (laughing)."
On Denver's pass rush
"I'm excited, because I've never played on a team that has had that consistent pass rush. Playing with these guys is going to be amazing because quarterbacks won't have that much time. We did it well in the preseason, but they know that guys are going to be chipping them and doing crazy things like that. It makes coverage that much simpler, because you don't have to cover as many guys because they have to keep them in to protect. It changes the game a lot; we've just got to keep it up."
On LB Von Miller's first step
"I think the closest person that comes to him, as far as a freakish athlete, is probably [LB] LaVar Arrington, and I think it's funny that they were both drafted No. 2 overall. They are both crazy athletic. That's what I remember from him; that's probably the closest person to [Von]."
On whether he might get more blitz calls playing on the inside
"It all depends on what he [Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen] calls. I don't know what I'm going to be doing. All I know is that if I have man-to-man coverage, I'm going to be covering my guy, and we'll mix it up every now and then."
On whether a limited training camp helped him stay healthy for the regular season
"Oh yeah, and I think the way camp was structured helped, too. Me being an older guy, I can't really do a lot of running and unnecessary things with my legs, so the fact that I was able to stay fresher than I have in the past makes me feel good going into the season."

This story comes from Ohio but I'm assuming it's a nation wide thing because it's coming from the federal government. Or at least it will effect the northern states. I notice how this wasn't reported until after the election.
Ohio families receiving food stamps could get an unwelcome surprise come January: $50 less every month in assistance.
For the 869,000 households enrolled in the program for the poorest Ohioans, that could amount to about $520 million annually out of the grocery budgets.
Because of the way the federal government calculates utility expenses for people receiving the benefit, a mild winter nationwide last year, and a lower price for natural gas, many families could experience a significant cut in aid, those familiar with the program say.
Recipients should get a letter from the state Department of Job and Family Services this month explaining the change, said Ben Johnson, a spokesman for the agency.
Meanwhile, food banks and others that distribute food assistance are bracing for increased demand.

I am not much a NHL fan these days. Reasons, I despise the fights. And I really believe the rinks are too small for the world's best players.
Olympic hockey before the professionals was much better for me to watch, wide open skating, crisp passing and great goal tending. That's what I like. The bump & grind, dump & chase in the NHL bores the crap out of me. Bigger rinks allows forwards to skate the puck into the opposing zone.
But watching today's game USA vs Russia was very exciting. Big rink, no fights ( as expected due to strick rules), tremendous goal tending, and fast skating and quick wrist shots. USA just beat Russia which ended in a 2-2 tie, 5 minute sudden death OT & a planned 3 round shootout which was extended 8 rounds. What a game!

Kurt Vonnegut: Author, activist, complete frickin' loon.
Lileks knocks one outta the park lambasting the drooling, pre-alzheimerian blitherings of atni-bushie Kurt Vonnegut, who seems to think being a suicide bomber gives you an incredible buzz, they're brave and valiant warriors, etc.
Worth the read. But you knew that, otherwise I wouldn't have linked it. Duh.

Harris concedes
Katherine Harris called Sen. Bill Nelson to concede the election...
Nelson ducked into the hotel kitchen to take Harris' call on a cell phone.
"I just talked to her and she was very gracious and she was very kind. And she said congratulations. She was exactly what you'd expect. She was very kind. And said congratulations. And she was very nice to do that. I told her that I had seen her on TV today out in the rain today and that I hoped she had dried off. She said she had a great day. And I told her I looked forward to seeing her next week. We're going into special session."

I just finished a deer mount and evrything looks good except 3 places on the brisket about 3" long the hair stands up.When I wet it down it stays down but when I brush it out it stands back up .How do I fix this and keep it down so the customer won't have this problem.
Return to Gamehead Taxidermy Category Menu
An old time taxidermist told me that he takes we clay and rubs the area down and then lets it sit until completely dry. Then brush the clay out with a stiff brush and hair should stay in place.
I would recommend using Cape Set. Its basically hair gel made for taxidermy purposes by WASCO. You take a small amount of Cape Set, work it gently into the problem area and then comb or brush it to your liking. Once the gel sets, the problem is taken care of. I've used it on many capes and always have some in my shop. Good luck!
I tried the clay method and it worked great thanks for the help
but it depends how bad the problem is. Put hair gel on the area and then use t- oins to pin a cloth tightly over the area. It will usually stay down.

Lagopoulos Dominates IJSBA Opener; Wins Three Classes
Eric Lagopoulos dominates IJSBA National Tour opener with wins in Pro Open, Pro Stock, and Pro 800 classes.
Eric Lagopoulos had a huge day at the opening round of the UWP IJSBA National Tour in Panama City Beach, Florida, sweeping the Pro Open, Pro Stock, and Pro 800 runabout classes. Lagopoulos chose to ride a stock Sea-Doo RXP-X in the Open class, even though much of the field was on more highly modified machines.
"The water conditions were really rough," explained Lagopoulos of the decision. "The RXP-X worked perfect … as I always felt in complete control, knowing exactly what the PWC was going to do. I was able to focus on going as fast I could, which was key to winning today."
Lagopoulos collected $2500 for the day, as well as a $460 bonus from Sea-Doo's X-Team Bounty program.
"Winning all three Pro runabout classes, collecting a big purse, and earning Sea-Doo X-TEAM Bounty money is a dream race day."

Out Of A Politician's Mouth
While our leaders strive to speak for the people, some dreadfully inappropriate and idiotic things have come out of their mouths in regards to Katrina and her aftermath.
"Considering the dire circumstances that we have in New Orleans, virtually a city that has been destroyed, things are going relatively well." -FEMA Director Michael Brown, Sept. 1, 2005
"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." -President Bush, to FEMA director Michael Brown, while touring Hurricane-ravaged Mississippi, Sept. 2, 2005
"We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did." -Rep. Richard Baker (R-LA) to lobbyists, as quoted in the Wall Street Journal
"I also want to encourage anybody who was affected by Hurricane Corina to make sure their children are in school." -First Lady Laura Bush, twice referring to a "Hurricane Corina" while speaking to children and parents in South Haven, Mississippi, Sept. 8, 2005
"It's totally wiped out. … It's devastating, it's got to be doubly devastating on the ground." -President Bush, turning to his aides while surveying Hurricane Katrina flood damage from Air Force One, Aug. 31, 2005
"I understand there are 10,000 people dead. It's terrible. It's tragic. But in a democracy of 300 million people, over years and years and years, these things happen." –GOP strategist Jack Burkman, on MSNBC's "Connected," Sept. 7, 2005
"I'm going to go home and walk my dog and hug my wife, and maybe get a good Mexican meal and a stiff margarita and a full night's sleep." -FEMA Director Michael Brown, on his plans after being relieved from his role managing Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, Sept. 9, 2005
Plus kudos to CNN for challenging the Bush Administration who have now agreed not to prevent the news media from following the effort to recover the bodies of Hurricane Katrina victims.

text: Hello, We are looking at staying at either Pop Century and are considering trying a moderate resort, the Coronado Springs. The Coronado though is about a thousand difference ($350 per room). We have stayed a pop many times and buy normally 3 rooms for 7 days. 3 families of 4. Questions: 1. Is it worth that kind of money to try out the Coronado? I think there is a hot tub, queen beds and a few extras in the rooms right? 2. We are getting a military discount on the rooms currently but is there anything else people know of we can do to get it to be less painful to try the moderate? I appreciate anyones thoughts and opinions

Despite the unoffical verdict that the "found footage" genre is dead as the dodo, there are those who have a weakness for the stuff, namely myself. Forgive me if I seem predisposed toward "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones," but it does breathe a bit of life into the found-footage cadaver.
Directed by Christopher Landon, "The Marked Ones" is the fifth installment in the "Paranormal Activity" franchise and the fact that most of the action takes place in a small, four-room apartment works marvelously in its favor. The protagonists, Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) and Hector (Jorge Diaz), are 18-year-old buddies, trying out a new camcorder on downstairs neighbor Anna (Gloria Sandoval), who they discover naked, engaged in some black magic ritual. That Anna never notices a camera hanging from the ceiling is just one of many found-footage hurdles. Still, the filmmakers do a fairly good job with the scares before gathering up the finale into a clever twist.

'Red October' novelist Tom Clancy dies at 66
BYU Track Star Los Angeles, CAOct. 2, 2013 12:26 p.m.
I started reading Mr. Clancy as a young Father - well over 25 years ago now. Almost all of his books were excellent - at least the ones he wrote himself - the only ones I really disliked were the ones where Jack Ryan's son and nephew become the main characters (i.e. Teeth Of The Tiger). The ones where he just lent his name (.i.e "Tom Clancy's Op Center") not so much. The movies were much less successful, IMHO, because Hollywood can never resist the temptation to tinker with the story. Hunt For Red October was a good film, and Patriot Games was not bad. But Clear & Present Danger and The Sum Of All Fears were not done well, IMHO. Mr. Clancy was a good writer and I know he'll be more remembered for the movies, most likely, but its the books that are his masterworks and are what he should be most remembered for. In any case, RIP Mr. Clancy, I don't know if you'll get it, especially with the government shutdown, but if a military flyby were ever to be done at a civilian's funeral, it should be at yours.
raybies Layton, UTOct. 2, 2013 10:14 a.m.
Congrats Clancy on escaping this world before that stray Nuclear Weapon went off, as it more or less does (or almost does) in every one of your books.

CHICAGO (Mar. 11)
Addressing a Zionist meeting at the Covenant Club today, Morris Rothenberg, president of the Zionist Organization of America, declared that the allied powers which had permitted Germany to rearm in open defiance of the Versailles Treaty had committed a "frightful blunder."
"The cold and calculated brutality with which the Nazis have set about to crush a loyal and productive part of the German population, for no other reason than that it has Jewish blood in its veins, the ruthless persecution of Catholics and Protestants," Mr. Rothenberg said, "should have foreshadowed what might be expected of the present rulers of Germany if they strengthened their power through the army."
The younger Jewish generation in Germany, Mr. Rothenberg said, looks to Palestine as their only hope of survival. He declared that the older generation for the most part would remain in Germany, "continuing the battle for their rights with all the odds against them."
Mr. Rothenberg, who is making a transcontinental tour in the interests of the United Palestine Appeal for $3,500,000, was given a banquet by Chicago Zionists. Maurice Smoler was the toastmaster.

text: ok so I did do a search on this problem, but i started a new thread b/c I think i may be having a slightly different issue...please hear me out.. I have a Macbook, running Mac OS X Tiger (version 10.4.11). I have had a 500 GB external HD (MyBook) hooked up to it (via USB) for the past 4 months or so, never really had any issues, was always able to transfer files, no problem. However, today i suddenly ran into some serious problems. I tried to transfer some pictures to the external drive and after copying 200 or so files it gave me an error, said a specific file could not be transferred (specifically it said "the Finder could not complete the operation because some data in "IMG_3435.JPG" could not be read or written. Error Code - 36 "). At first I thought maybe that specific file was corrupted or something but i checked it out and it looked fine. So I then I tried transferring another folder of pictures, and then I got the same error right away (after transferring 3 files), for a different file. And now i'm at the point where I can't transfer ANY files to my external HD anymore! (T_T). And it's weird, when i transfer folders, it will transfer the folder itself but not the files. Strange.. I'm so confused because it was all working fine before for months, and now, it all of the sudden doesn want to copy files to the external drive. (?) my question is, what is the problem here? What are my options for solving this? is it my external drive, or is something wrong with my MacBook? Space is not an issue here, as there is plenty of space on external drive for the files to be copied. And I NEED to transfer files from my Macbook to an external drive because my MacBook HD is going to fill up any day now (currently have 3.5 GB free on a 74 GB HD...my macbook is about 2 years old). Oh and i should mention, i just checked and the formatting for the external HD (the Mybook) is MS-DOS FAT 32. It currently has about 350 GB free. In another thread about this problem w/ transferring files, someone mentioned external hd's with MS DOS FAT 32 not being ideal for use with Macs, and recommended reformatting it. I just not sure if I should do this right away though, because my husband uses the external drive as well to backup stuff from his PC (so it's not being used exclusively for Macs). However if this is really the only solution then I'll just go out and buy another one to use exclusively for my MacBook and reformat it... thanks in advance for any tips/suggestions!!

Henning Larsen Architects | Jåttå Vocational School
Jåttå Vocational School is designed as a small 'town in town' featuring a vibrant double-high central street surrounded by individual 'urban quarters', each with their own teaching environments and lecture rooms. The heart of the school – the central street comprising the main hall, canteen and resource centre – forms an active and vibrant gathering point offering a view of the green patios and roof landscape of the building as well as the workshops and study areas. A sequence of ramps and stairs lead from the entrance further up through the building and through the lecture hall, all the way up to the roof landscape offering a view of the scenery and fjord.
With its minimalist, almost floating architecture, Jåttå Vocational School forms the entrance to Stavanger's new urban quarter by the fjord. The concentrated design enhances the way the building interacts with its surroundings and thus underlines its proximity and transparency. The double high windows allow daylight into the building, stimulating the learning process.
With a capacity of 1600 students the school offers among others several subjects within service and technique. The 2,700 m2 sports centre is located in connection with the school and is designed by Henning Larsen Architects in 2006. The school opened in 2007.Location: Stavanger, Norway Architect: Henning Larsen Architects
