FA Cup: Rochdale cause a major upset by beating Leeds 2-0 in the FA Cup third round
Rochdale caused a FA Cup shock by beating Leeds 2-0 to progress to the fourth round for the first time in 11 years.
Last Updated: 04/01/14 6:02pm
Goals towards the end of each half from Scott Hogan and Ian Henderson secured the home side a place in the fourth round and Brian McDermott's Championship team could have few complaints after a poor performance.
Some 44 places divided the teams in the Football League at the start of play, but it quickly became evident that gulf would not be reflected on the pitch.
Joe Bunney's emphatic finish on seven minutes may have been ruled offside, but it set the tone for the game, with the home side keeping the visitors on the back foot.
Leeds were not entirely without threat in the first half and came into the game when Matt Smith rose above the home defence to guide Danny Pugh's cross goalward, Matt Lund clearing his firm header off the line.
But it was Rochdale who were asking most questions and when they broke upfield in the 16th minute, Peter Vincenti sent Hogan through on goal. Paddy Kenny narrowed the angle and blocked the striker's shot with his feet, Lee Peltier denying Henderson the chance to seize on the loose ball.
And as the first half drew to a close Rochdale looked to press home their dominance, Hogan setting up Henderson for an edge-of-the-area drive, Kenny again foiling the midfielder.
But there was no denying the hosts the goal they deserved and in time added on at the end of the first half Hogan drifted between Marius Zaliukas and Jason Pearce to meet Vincenti's cross and send a looping header over Kenny and into the net for his 11th goal of the season.
Leeds were brighter at the start of the second half, skipper Rudolph Austin curling a shot inches wide of Lillis' post and Smith's header hacked off the line by Rochdale striker Bunney.
Despite half chances for Ross McCormack and Pugh, Rochdale continued to look the team more likely to score the game's second goal.
Vincenti spurned a glorious chance to double their advantage in the 77th minute when Hogan teed him up 10 yards out, the former Aldershot man firing across the face of goal and wide.
Hogan himself went close minutes later with a cleverly improvised toe-poke towards goal, Kenny relieved to see it run wide. The goalkeeper then kept Leeds in the tie with a superb save to keep out Vincenti's effort.
The result was wrapped up in the 83rd minute when substitute Graham Cummins picked out Henderson and he sent a measured volley into the top corner of Kenny's goal.
Henderson was close to doubling his personal tally minutes later when he crashed a 25-yard shot on target, Kenny pushing his shot over the bar to save the visitors further embarrassment.

The Oscar-nominated documentary The Gatekeepers is built around interviews with the past six chiefs of the Israeli intelligence service, Shin Bet. And with all due respect to a "divided America," these guys will tell you what a really divided country looks like.
The Oscar-nominated documentary The Gatekeepers is built around interviews with the past six chiefs of the Israeli intelligence service, Shin Bet. And with all due respect to a �divided America,� these guys will tell you what a really divided country looks like.
It�s not just their horror stories of their decades-long �war on terror� in the occupied Palestinian territories, spying on, tracking, arresting and often killing those their government has decreed are terrorists. They also note how generations of politicians have cowered from offending Israel�s own resident religious right � shrill, politically untouchable zealots who break Israeli law to set up illegal settlements.
They have the blood of at least one assassinated prime minister (Yitzak Rabin) on their hands, and the Shin Bet chiefs suggest they�re as big an obstacle to any lasting peace in the region as Hamas, Islamic Jihad and their ilk.
Dror Moreh�s documentary takes us from Israel�s victory in the 1967 �Six-Day War,� when Israel became an occupying power, through decades of seeming successes and failures � the biggest being that all the tit-for-tat killing has not worked.
�No strategy� to it all, 1980s Shin Bet veteran Avraham Shalom says, �just tactics.�
There were scandals: suspects, caught in the act, photographed alive after the bus they hijacked was freed, only to turn up dead after the photographers left.
�We didn�t know what we wanted to do there,� complains another Shin Bet chief, Yaakov Peri.
Some, like Peri and Shalom, seem eager to kick the blame elsewhere, to politicians. Others, particularly recent chief Ami Ayalon, accept the �systemic� failure they perpetuated.
Moreh is a dogged interviewer, gently challenging his subjects. Using archival footage, inventive animated re-creations of incidents and chilling aerial smart-bomb views of airstrikes as they happen, Moreh creates a simple yet elegantly damning film. It sets us up to take first one side, and then the other, in this ethno-political quagmire.
The Gatekeepers, in Hebrew with English subtitles, leaves out the Palestinian voices in this story. Thus, the other half of this it-takes-two-to-tangle dilemma gets off comparatively easily.

NOAA's Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), announced their joint determination that the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is globally comprised of nine distinct population segments (DPSs) that qualify as "species" for listing as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
The Federal Register notice, scheduled to publish on March 16, will formally announce the findings on petitions to list the North Pacific and Northwest Atlantic populations of the loggerhead as DPSs with endangered status and proposes to list nine separate loggerhead DPSs worldwide, including the two petitioned populations.
"Following a thorough assessment of the global loggerhead populations it was clear the nine populations were distinct," said Eric Schwaab, NOAA assistant administrator for NOAA's Fisheries Service. "Our joint analysis of the nine loggerhead DPSs also lead us to the finding that two of these populations should be proposed for listing as threatened, while the other seven should be proposed for listing as endangered." The two DPSs proposed as threatened are the South Atlantic Ocean and the Southwest Indian Ocean. The seven DPSs proposed as endangered are the North Pacific Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, Southeast Indo-Pacific Ocean, North Indian Ocean, Northwest Atlantic Ocean, Northeast Atlantic Ocean, and Mediterranean Sea.
Loggerhead sea turtles are currently listed as threatened throughout their range.
In August 2007, the Services completed an ESA five-year review of the loggerhead turtle and recommended that the species be fully examined in accordance with the DPS policy to determine whether the species exists as DPSs and, if so, what the status of those DPSs is. On July 16, 2007, the Services received a petition from the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) and Turtle Island Restoration Network requesting that loggerhead sea turtles in the North Pacific be reclassified as a DPS with endangered status, and that critical habitat be designated. On November 16, 2007, the Services received a second petition from CBD and Oceana requesting that loggerhead turtles in the Northwest Atlantic be reclassified as a DPS with endangered status and that critical habitat be designated.
On November 16, 2007 and March 5, 2008, respectively, the Services announced their 90-day findings that the requested actions may be warranted and that they would proceed with an assessment of the loggerhead's listing status. Subsequently, a Loggerhead Biological Review Team (BRT) was formed. The BRT evaluated the species in accordance with the DPS policy to determine whether DPSs existed, and then evaluated the status of each DPS. This effort resulted in a formal Status Review of the Loggerhead Turtle in August 2009. The BRT status report then underwent independent peer review by nine scientists with expertise in loggerhead sea turtle biology, genetics, and modeling.
"The BRT status review was not only comprehensive in its scope," said Cynthia Dohner, FWS's southeast regional director, "but represents an outstanding synthesis of the best available scientific information used to inform our joint determination and proposal."
Following a detailed review of the BRT findings, and an assessment in accordance with the statutory requirements of the ESA, the Services determined that the petitioned actions were warranted and prepared the single Federal Register notice that includes the 12-month petition findings and a proposed rule for all nine identified DPSs.
The Services are soliciting public comment on the proposed listing determination. Specifically they are seeking information and comments on whether the nine proposed loggerhead sea turtle DPSs qualify as DPSs and, if so, whether they should be classified as threatened or endangered.
Specific information sought includes the following areas relative to loggerhead turtles within the nine proposed DPSs:
(1) historical and current population status and trends,
(2) historical and current distribution,
(3) migratory movements and behavior,
(4) genetic population structure,
(5) current or planned activities that may adversely impact loggerhead turtles, and
(6) ongoing efforts to protect loggerhead turtles.
Anyone wishing to comment and/or submit information, identified by the RIN 0648–AY49, regarding the proposed actions may do so via one of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
• U.S. mail or hand-delivery: NMFS National Sea Turtle Coordinator, Attn: Loggerhead Proposed Listing Rule, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1315 East-West Highway, Room 13657, Silver Spring, MD 20910 or USFWS National Sea Turtle Coordinator, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 7915 Baymeadows Way, Suite 200, Jacksonville, FL 32256.
• Fax: To the attention of NMFS National Sea Turtle Coordinator at 301–713–0376 or USFWS National Sea Turtle Coordinator at 904–731–3045.
The Services will post all information received on www.regulations.gov. This generally means that any personal information provided also will be posted. NOAA Fisheries and FWS will accept anonymous comments (enter N/A in the required fields, if you wish to remain anonymous). Attachments to electronic comments will be accepted in Microsoft Word, Excel, WordPerfect, or Adobe PDF file formats only.
Please note that submissions merely stating support for or opposition to the action under consideration without providing supporting information, although noted, will not be considered in making a determination, as section 4(b)(1)(A) of the ESA directs that "the Secretary shall make determinations … solely on the basis of the best scientific and commercial data available …"
Information must be received by June 14, 2010. Request for public hearings must be received by June 1, 2010.

Liuzza's by the Track has become a local hot spot in this Mid-City neighborhood, especially for the two weekends of Jazz Fest, when tens of thousands of festival attendees can't help but walk by the establishment on their way to the Fairgrounds. Located a block and a half off Esplanade Ave and just a few blocks from the Fairgrounds, Liuzza's by the Track is a favorite place to eat and grab a drink for locals and visitors alike.
Liuzza's by the Track may not have invented the BBQ shrimp delicacy, but the restaurant amplified it when it stuck the dish between two slices of po-boy bread and suitably called it the BBQ shrimp po-boy, for which it is now well-known both near and far. The restaurant offers an even more extensive menu of po-boys, including garlic stuffed oysters and roast beef and other classic combinations.
Liuzza's by the Track also offers seafood plates, sandwiches, salads and specials like red beans and rice and pork chops on certain days, plus a legendary thin and dark gumbo. I send my guests here especially for this gumbo, I think it's the best in town. If you need something to kick off your day at Jazz Fest or haven't gotten enough once the Jazz Fest doors are closed, Liuzza's by the Track is a perfect spot for dining and meeting up with friends and fellow fest-goers.
The interior gives it a homey feel, and it's everything you'd expect from a well-worn neighborhood joint. It's covered in fading memorabilia and sports cracked tile floors, rickety tables, mismatched chairs and a friendly staff who are ready to serve you draft beers, Bloody Marys and all the food you can handle during your weekend(s) at Jazz Fest—and any other time you come to visit the city.
One thing to note when you're looking for places to eat is that Liuzza's by the Track is not affiliated with the other Mid-City restaurant named Liuzza's Restaurant, which serves up New Orleans/Creole Italian. Make it a point to pass by Liuzza's by the Track on your way in and out of Jazz Fest for some great eats and cool drinks and extend your experience even outside the official festival grounds.

Worst decorating trends
How are we not surprised that so many of the worst decorating trends of all time come from our childhoods in the 1970s and 1980s?

Ours was Harvest Gold. Mom had the pots and pans to match. My parents had that fridge until about 6 years ago - never a problem. They've already had to replace the one they replaced it with. Those brown, green and gold 70's fridges may have been ugly, but they lasted forever!

we did have an avocado refrigerator! Also yellow and avocado painted walls in the kitchen. And textured wallpaper.
No shag carpetting, though. And no wood-paneled rooms. thank goodness.

We had a dark brown fridge and oven to match. The avocado was all over our kitchen wallpaper, though, along with orange and a muddy yellow that Crayola would probably call "ochre." All in geometric shapes, too.
We had (still have) brown shag carpeting in all the bedrooms and magenta shag in the den and hall. The stuff that could get lost in that shag! Barbie shoes, Star Wars action figure guns, small pets...
Did anyone else have textured wallpaper? Our entry way was papered with gold stripes but over the stripes were white fleur-de-lis that were sort of velvety but not. Our den had the same idea but instead of "velvety but not," it was sandpaper-ish. Bizarre.

Growing up I lived in a neighborhood of 1960s ranch houses. The kitchens... oh, the kitchens! Ours was brown - brown tile, brown cabinets, brown appliances - until my parents redecorated it "country" style (it was the 80s!). But my friend Alethea down the street had the best kitchen of all, all done in pink and copper. Wow. We also had a faux-wood-panelled "den" with a bitchin' tweed couch (I miss that couch).

Gael- I also grew up in MN but currently live in Seattle. My bedroom growing up also had two tone orange shag carpeting. I had the very same issue with my legos!
Are we actually the same person?

oh, god, i'm having flashbacks. the house i grew up in was last decorated in approximately 1976, and it showed. avocado green stove, sinks, shower, toilet. harvest gold drapes in the living room. avocado green & harvest gold (it was a blend!) shag carpeting throughout. dark brown faux-wood paneling. everything looked dark and cramped all the time.
the one good thing i will say about the shag is that it allowed me to skate on one of my least favorite chores in high school. my mom was really uptight about vacuuming and wanted me to do it every day after school, but i hated to vacuum and thought every day was ridiculous. so i did it twice a week instead and just ruffled the shag with my foot on the off days. she never caught on.

Oh yes, we had the avacado fridge and oven. Not to mention a well paneled family room with orange shag carpet. That carpet made it difficult to run my remote controlled car on.
We replaced the paneling with a tweed wallpaper the the cat loved to climb. He'd be handing out on the wall much like Garfield on a screen door.
- April 1, 2010 at 6:07 PM
- Brian Bellmont said...
Awesome memories. I'd forgotten about the velvet-but-not-really wallpaper. What was the deal with that? I'll bet the hooky side of Velcro would have stuck to it, no problem.
Also, our early-'70s-built house had actual shingles on top of the kitchen cabinets, like a jaunty -- and quickly out of date -- wooden hat. Whaaa?

- Dimestore Lipstick said...
No flocked wallpaper, but we had a harvest gold fridge, and a basement rec room with cheesy paneling and that bad-taste classic, the "carpet sample patchwork floor". In your basic seventies color scheme of yellow, orange, booger-green, & brown. My best friend's house had a powder room in black, white & red--and awesome wallpaper printed with pages from the 1908 Sears catalog. There was always something to read in that bathroom.

With the show winding down and anticipating a final "playoff" between the favorites voted on for each season, we should get moving with the poll for season 6a. Eventually, I'll post one for 6b as well, but we'll probably have to find an alternate route to select those episodes for the brackets.
However, we can begin to select those for this portion of season 6 and with these polls now placed in the Voting Booth sub-forum, we should get plenty of votes over the next few weeks. As we've done with the other polls, vote on your favorite and then tell us why you picked the episode that you did.

Next Topic: Stratocumulus Clouds
A nimbostratus cloud is similar to a stratus cloud in its formless, smooth appearance. However, a nimbostratus cloud is darker than a stratus cloud, because it is thicker.
Unlike a stratus cloud, a nimbostratus cloud typically brings with it the threat of moderate to heavy precipitation. In some cases, the precipitation may evaporate before reaching the ground, a phenomenon known as virga.

A contrail is an artificial cloud, created by the passing of an aircraft.
Contrails form because water vapor in the exhaust of aircraft engines is suspended in the air under certain temperatures and humidity conditions. These contrails are called exhaust contrails.
Another type of contrail can form due to a temporary reduction in air pressure moving over the plane's surface, causing condensation. These are called aerodynamic contrails.
When you can see your breath on a cold day, it is also because of condensation. The reason contrails last longer than the condensation from your breath is because the water in contrails freezes into ice particles.

Italians miffed papacy didn't return to homeland
Cardinal Scola's failure to be elected pontiff has left locals wondering if the papacy may never return to Italy.
ROME – While the public has embraced Pope Francis, Italian Cardinal Angelo Scola's failure to garner support has caused grumblings among Italians.
A favorite heading into the conclave that elected the new pope on Wednesday, Scola's loss has sparked speculation that the papacy — the exclusive property of Italy over a span of 456 years and 45 popes, ending with the election of John Paul II in 1978 — may never return to the country.
A Milan-based cardinal with a reputation as a reformer, Scola appeared to be the leading candidate, by far, going into the conclave. No figure was seen as so likely to become pope ahead of the conclave at least since Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini — who, like Scola, had been archbishop of Milan — became Pope Paul VI in 1963.
FULL COVERAGE: Pope Francis' first days as pontiff
Italian newspapers reported Scola would have the support of 40 or as many as 50 cardinals on the first ballot (a cardinal needed 77 to be selected as pope). On the eve of the conclave, betting sites had him listed as a consensus 2-to-1 pick, implying he was nearly four times more likely to be selected pope than the next highest-ranked favorite.
The world knows now that none of that mattered in the end: With its fifth vote, the 115 cardinals participating in the conclave selected Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, who despite reportedly finishing second eight years ago in the conclave that selected Pope Benedict XVI, was hardly mentioned by expert observers before the conclave.
"In retrospect, we can see some faults in everyone's logic," said Paolo Rodari, the Vatican correspondent for Italy's La Repubblica. "Scola was the only realistic Italian candidate, and Italy has 28 cardinal electors, more than any other country. And so people thought they'd support Scola as a bloc, and that his support would build from there."
Giacomo Galeazzi, a Vatican watcher working with the Turin newspaper La Stampa, agreed.
"Many cardinals told (Scola) they planned to vote for him, but they apparently changed their minds even before the first ballot," said Galeazzi, who after the conclave penned an article in La Stampa with the headline: "Scola betrayed by the Italians, starting from the first vote."
The expectation that the papacy was due to return to Italy after two consecutive non-Italian popes was widespread in Italy. Ahead of the conclave, Pietro Boccamazzi, 77, a retired bus driver and regular churchgoer, reflected a common view when he said: "The best thing would probably be to have an Italian pope again. No disrespect to other nations. But the church is here (in Italy) for a reason."
In St. Peter's Square on Friday, Rosa Maria Iozzia, 69, a Roman homemaker, said that while she felt "connected" to Pope Francis, she had hoped for an Italian pope. "When I was growing up there were fewer problems (in the church) and the pope was always Italian … (and) maybe those things are connected," she said, adding that she was "comforted" by the fact that the new pope had Italian roots.
Robert Mickens, the Rome correspondent for the U.K.-based Catholic newspaper The Tablet, said Scola's chances to become pope were probably undone by a lack of unity among the Italian cardinals and Scola's own ambitions.
"Few cardinals will vote for someone who seems to be campaigning for the job," Mickens said.
According to La Stampa's Galeazzi, Scola's defeat may mean a long wait — if it ever happens again — before an Italian returns to the papacy.
"If it was going to happen again, I think it would have had to happen this time," he said. "The church is growing in other parts of the world and shrinking here, and over time the origins of the College of Cardinals will reflect that. With each conclave fewer and fewer people will even remember when there was an Italian pope."

Selling out of the field has paid off the last few years. "Last year, nobody sold anything, then we got a drought and the price of corn went up $3 in five or six weeks," says Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group. "If anybody had cash contracting, they wish they hadn't done that."
A recent Farm Journal Pulse asked: How much of your 2013 corn production is sold or priced?
Here are the results:
2013 Corn Production sold or priced
- None: 53%
- 1-25%: 24%
- 26-50%: 11%
- 51-75%: 4%
- 76-99%: 3%
- 100%: 4%
(1,600 respondents -- see the results on an interactive map)
We asked the same question at this time last year. Here are those results:
2012 Corn Production sold or priced
- None: 45%
- 1-25%: 30%
- 26-50%: 14%
- 51-75%: 7%
- 76-99%: 2%
- 100%: 2%
(1,400 respondents -- see the 2012 results on an interactive map)
"In all honesty, farmers have been right to not forward sell much of their crop," Gulke says. "If you don't want to learn futures and options, you do nothing. And the last couple of years, the best thing to do was ignore everybody's advice and sell out of the field."
But, this year is already different from 2012.
"Last year we had to take prices higher to curb demand," Gulke says. "And, this year we're going into a crop where we've already terribly curbed demand. Exports are less than half. Feed usage is down. Ethanol is down. You're starting out with a low expectation of demand."
He says that if a reasonably sized crop is produced this year, we will have an oversupply.
"We sometimes lose our focus when money has been too easy to make," he says. "I think that's what we have in agriculture. You didn't have to be a good marketer last year to make money. But, I think that's changing."
Reports on the Horizon
On April 10, USDA comes out with its monthly Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates reports.
Gulke says the big news in this report will be where USDA decides to put the 3 million extra bushels of corn it found in storage with last week's Grain Stocks report.
"Where will they put all those extra bushels of corn they found last week?" he asks. "Will they put it in feed usage, or just go right to the bottom line?"
Gulke says this "new" corn will actually put the U.S. ahead of where it was last year at this time in terms of corn usage. "And we thought we were going to run out last year," he says.

Frederick was born in Maryland but it wasn't his state it was the state where his oppressors lived--Frederick had no place to call his own. Frederick knew who his mother was but he was stripped away from her while he was an infant as if he were only a commodity with no heart or mind to form connections. Frederick knew who his grandmother was because he was raised under he watchful eyes and kind tutelage but he was separated from her when he was only seven years old. Those who held him in slavery did not see any reason they should honor the bonds between he and his grandmother and so they had no problem taking him to another place to do a different job because their lives were and always had been focused on efficiency and profit. Frederick didn't know who his father was though it's very likely that he was the slave of his own father after being separated from his grandmother. Chances are, he was the son of a white overseer who had taken indecent liberties with a slave woman as was his presumed natural and God-given right. After that man died, Frederick was transferred to yet another family near Baltimore.
It was while he was serving the Auld family near Baltimore that he first encountered the written word as anything more than another way for those with power to maintain it. The slave master's wife taught twelve year old Frederick the fundamentals of reading and writing. Frederick took to it with his natural intelligence and was soon beginning to read and write on his own. But the slave master found out and insisted that this was inappropriate on the grounds that slaves who could read might question their lot in life and become dissatisfied with slavery. Hugh Auld knew well that education was a liberator and literacy was the gateway to education. What he didn't know what the already powerful dissatisfaction that brewed in the hearts of Frederick and his brothers and sisters. Auld put a stop to the lessons but the fire of knowledge burned bright and quick in Frederick's mind and he continued to teach himself to read even though he was warned not to. After honing his skills, the adolescent Frederick took to teaching reading to other slaves on Sundays. Given time by their oppressors to worship, they did so but Frederick was keen to teach them to read their New Testament. In it, they found stories of liberation and freedom. In these stories, they began to be freed from their many bonds--all except their most physical and real. Frederick was beaten for these lessons and suffered severe punishments but would not stop teaching or questioning the injustice of slavery upon religious grounds. He was turned over to a particularly cruel slave master for his persistence.
When he was twenty years old, Frederick finally escaped slavery on his third attempt. He boarded a train, he adopted a guise, and in twenty-four hours he was a man finally freed from his physical bonds. He became an ardent activist and abolitionist campaigning not only for the end of slavery but also the end of all injustice and oppression--he even ran to be the first African-American Vice President on an equal rights ticket with Victoria Woodhull (the first woman to run for President). He was quick to strike at the hypocrisy of the religious elite in their use of the scriptures that proclaimed liberation and life as tools of oppression and death and insisted that true religion was not a matter of control but of love and freedom. His work as an abolitionist hastened the end of slavery in the United States and testified to a Christian faith that found its root and power in a Lord who had been oppressed by the powerful.

Video gamers, the Democratic presidential candidates have a simple message for you: "We are not afraid to regulate the sex and violence right out of your consoles. Don't make us do it."
With the new year still shiny and filled with that fresh-from-the-dealership scent, it's a perfect time to kick back, pop that Orange Box disc into the drive, and let off a little steam with Gordon Freeman's crowbar. But it's also worth taking ten minutes to ponder what gaming might look like after 2008's US presidential election (hint: that crowbar could be under increased scrutiny).
To do that, let's turn to Common Sense Media, which sent questionnaires last autumn to the leading candidates of both parties. Now that Hillary Clinton's campaign has responded, the Democratic slate is well-represented (Mitt Romney was the only Republican to respond). The questions covered several media issues, but the most important one for our purposes was the question about violent video games. Would the POTUS contenders use legislation to "keep violent video games out of kids' hands"?
The Democrats (except for Clinton) all paid lip service to the idea of parental responsibility and industry self-regulation as the first, best hope for solving the problem. "The ESRB is a good example of industry responsibility," said John Edwards. Barack Obama said that there's "a golden opportunity for the industry to do this on their own" and that he wants to "improve the voluntary ratings system we currently have." Bill Richardson stressed parental involvement and (somewhat oddly) pledged to give all federal employees eight hours of paid one-on-one time with their kids.
But none of this precludes legislation. Consider the responses:
- Obama: "But if the industry fails to act, then my administration would."
- Richardson: "I would consider this legislation."
- Edwards: "If the industry does not continue to make progress in keeping video games with intense violent and adult content away from children, we will need to consider further steps."
- Clinton: [After long discussion of her support for the Family Entertainment Protection Act] "When I am president, I will work to protect children from inappropriate video game content."
Since Romney was the only Republican to weigh in, it's hard to sum up general Republican attitudes. It's possible to sum up Romney's, though: Get Tough on Filth. "I want to restore values so children are protected from a societal cesspool of filth, pornography, violence, sex, and perversion," he said. "I've proposed that we enforce our obscenity laws again and that we get serious against those retailers that sell adult video games that are filled with violence and that we go after those retailers."
Some of this is obviously election-year saber-rattling, but the ESRB can't afford too many more GTA: San Andreas sex debacles or Manhunt 2 ultraviolence-restoring-hacks. After a couple more such incidents, any of the current candidates sounds willing to sign legislation that would take the ratings and compliance out of the industry's hands and plop it down somewhere within the FTC.
Whether or not something like that would ever survive a constitutional challenge is up for debate, but we've explained our position on this before, and we don't think it's likely.

Non-skid paints can be used for various different applications and circumstances. The most common use of non-skid is on boats, or for marine use. Although that is the most common, it is used in many more conditions. Here are some other examples of how non skid paint can be used outside of the nautical setting.
- Industrial Buildings
- Amusement Parks
- Utility Vehicles
- Ramps
- Mechanic Shop
- Walk-in Freezers
- Ski Areas
- Handicap Utilities
- Residential Decks
- Stairs
- Restaurant kitchens
- Stadiums
- Restrooms
- Warehouse floors
- Wooden Decks
- Food prep areas
- Hospitals
- Schools
When it comes to non skid paints, there are two types of paint you can go with. The first category are non-skid paints that come with the non skid formula pre mixed. An example of this is the Non-skid paint called Floor Grip, or Floor Grip II for wood. The supermarine paint is an easy paint to apply, especially for the "do it yourselfer". For best results you will want to remove any of the existing paint on the surface with sand paper followed by a good pressure washing. This removes any grit or oil that may interfere with the adhesion of coats of non-skid paint you will be applying.
After cleaning the surface, you will need to let it dry before applying any primer. The recommended primer for this job would be SM-664D etching primer by Supermarine. Note, the Floor Grip II when applied to wood needs no primer. This will give a good surface for your non-skid paint to grip on to.
Please note: You only need the etching primer for Glazed tile, fiberglass, aluminum and composite materials. Once the primer dries you are ready to mix your non-skid paint. You may start by scraping the containe, using a stir stick, down the sides to help loosen the aggregate. This step may be difficult and the use of a high speed mixer will ease the process as well as some of the SM-605 thinner . Once mixed for a good two minutes you are ready to apply the paint. Floor Grip Non-Skid Paint may be brushed or rolled on to a wet film thickness of 25-30 mils. The first coat is able to be recoated in 12-48 hours depending on the temperature and humidity levels. Try to avoid heavy overlaps on your strokes and heavy build up in single areas.
This non-skid coating comes in over 90 colors to choose from. Keep in mind the supermarine non-skid paint maintains its color and gloss without chalking, yellowing or fading.
The next option is to add non-skid to paint or gelcoat. This process is when you take paint/gelcoat and add a non-skid additive such as Duralux non-skid additive , Seahawk non-skid additive for gelcoat, Griptex for Awlgrip and Pro Tex for Supermarine paints.
The additive for gelcoat is extremely easy and adds just one extra step to the gelcoat application process. You simply mix the additive in with the gel coat before application and then apply. Alternative preferred application methods include using a flour sifter, powdered sugar shaker, or the punctured container itself, sprinkle the non skid into the gelcoat or paint. To use the container, first punch holes in the lid with a nail or ice pick overlappping the broadcasting stroke to provide a uniform pattern.
The amount you use is completely subjective and dependent on what your goal is; it is recommended to use no more than a quart of non-skid per gallon of paint. The available sizes of additive are a quart and a gallon. The same goes for the Duralux non-skid additive when you add it to the paint.

On Monday, The New Republic's Jonathan Cohn admitted that President Obama "made a misleading statement about Obamacare rates" during his press conference on Friday. The magazine's Twitter feed (@tnr) announced:
Whoops! The president (accidentally, we think) told a little #Obamacare lie on Friday.
During his press conference, the president said:
[When it comes to people without access to employer-sponsored coverage,] they're going to be able to go on a website or call up a call center and sign up for affordable quality health insurance at a significantly cheaper rate than what they can get right now on the individual market. And if even with lower premiums they still can't afford it, we're going to be able to provide them with a tax credit to help them buy it. [Emphasis added.]
The problem, Cohn writes, is that:
while some people will pay less than they pay today, some will pay more. They will primarily be young, healthy men who benefited from preferential pricing in the past, were content with coverage that had huge gaps, and are too wealthy to qualify for the law's tax credits—which are substantial but phase out at higher incomes…
But somebody listening to Obama's press conference probably wouldn't grasp that distinction. They'd come away thinking their insurance will be cheaper next year. For some, it won't be. Obama isn't doing himself, or the law, any favors by fostering a false expectation.

Heinrich von Zügel
For example, a 1909 edition of Studio Magazine declares that German artist Heinrich von Zügel (1850-1941) "stands among the greatest animal painters of our time." A claim like that is worth investigating.
But try to find a book on Zügel on US Amazon today and you won't get any results. There's no English language Wikipedia page on him, and scarcely even a mention of him in any current art history book.
Heinrich von Zügel was the son of a shepherd. According to Studio magazine, he first became known in the 1870s for his exactly drawn studies of sheep. These studies were made while directly observing living domesticated animals, not painted from dead animals, as was the practice of hunter-artists such as Carl Rungius.
Sheep don't pose for their portraits. It takes immense patience and resourcefulness to do studies like this. They're drawn directly with the brush and elaborated as the animals moved around. Note the brush lay-ins in the lower right. Only Rosa Bonheur, Edwin Landseer, Bruno Liljefors, Sir Alfred Munnings, and Rien Poortvliet could match von Zügel at such animal studies from life.
In the painting above, a draft horse is harnessed together with three oxen. Their breath is commingled in the cold back-lit air. Note the handling of edge lighting and the warm reflected light under the belly of the ox.
Von Zügel was a professor of the Munich Academy, and a leader of the Munich Secession. In his later career, he absorbed the lessons of impressionism and became more interested in weaving animals into their environments.
Von Zügel was obsessed by this one pictorial theme for 40 years of his life: painting large animals plowing or harrowing. His series, called "heavy work" (Schwere Arbeit) includes many variations of the theme. Here, the two horses are viewed contre-jour from a low eye level. You can almost feel their big heads swinging side to side and hear the harness chains jingling. Their illuminated breath and the ground mist dissolve the form of the horses and even the ground they're walking on.
Von Zügel's paintings address profound and universal issues of form, light, and motion, not to mention the bounty of the earth, the human bond with other creatures, and the cycle of life.
I think that's reason enough to give him a spot in the art books, or for now at least, the blogosphere.

I heard Tom Wolfe speak at the 10 anniversary of the 'derrière guard' he predicted that most people would remember Picasso in 20 years (Hope!) he based this on the survey of the French public at the end of the 19th century, when asked who would be the most remembered french artists in 100 years - the answers were NOT Monet, Renoir, Degas or some other impressionist mix......it was bougeroua, germone and some other chap.
On the other hand, Rapheal was more highly esteemed than Michaelangelo and Leonardo until the early 19th century..

Hi James,
It's always a joy to see more master animal artists that are not usually mentioned in art history books. Heinrich is however mentioned in a book from Gottfried Bammes, "Grosse Tieranatomie". A beautiful book full of animal anatomy and animal artists... although it's only in German.
Thanks for sharing!

Those paintings are great. In general I don't think it's easy to find information about German artists... I couldn't find any books about Hans Holbein the Younger with good reproductions for example. A lot of great American tonalists studied in Germany during the 19th century.

What a great list of artists who truly mastered their craft. I'd add Lucy Kemp Welch to that list of great ones painting animals from life.

The Frye Art Museum in Seattle (fryemuseum.org) has several of his works, and a number of others by artists that aren't household names but whose work is beautiful.

It's quite usual that you can't get any books about German artists. It's the same the other way round. For that reason I have to buy all the good American ones. Probably, there should be more translations... O:-) Oh, a good idea... hmmm

Thanks to all of you for adding to the understanding of this artist. Some of you have emailed me to say you've found books on him, or you've translated German web resources.
And thanks for the tips on the other related artists.

This tier's myriad high and lows reflected the great variance in difficulty from boss to boss, with some bosses being killed in one attempt and others taking several days to down. Overall, we enjoyed this race and are happy that the final few bosses each presented a substantial challenge, given the speed with which the first few wings of the instance were cleared. In the future however, we hope that no single tier will have more than twelve bosses. Fourteen was a bit too many.
The Mists of Pandaria expansion marked the beginning of a new era for Blood Legion. We firmly established ourselves as competitors on the world stage for World of Warcraft PvE, and entered the larger e-sports community through our partnership with Team Razer. Now that we have completed this expansion's final raiding tier, we turn our focus to the epic adventures and festivities that BlizzCon will surely offer in November. From then we shall surely enjoy our well-deserved rest before preparations for the new expansion begin !
