We were reminded about this one on Twitter, and so decided to share here as today's turning out to be another slow news day. Le Saboteur, a member of the A Song of Ice and Fire forum, posted this video on October 27th following the Armageddon convention in Auckland. This, in turn, followed just a week or so after Armaggedon in Australia where Momoa first revealed his being cast as Drogo, videos which we've shared previously via Twitter. Le Saboteur's previous convention report with some more details can be found at the forum.
In this new video, Momoa gives a brief glimpse of the haka he performed as part of his audition, and describes his favorite scene in the novel.

California's first lady Maria Shriver appears to be caught violating the state's hands-free law, according to photos and a video posted on TMZ.
Shriver -- who should probably know better, considering her husband signed the law -- was photographed twice this year driving while talking on a cell phone.
The first lady's office said it would have no comment.
But on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Twitter feed, he wrote to TMZ.com founder Harvey Levin: "Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention. There's going to be swift action."
Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear says that by "swift action," the governor means he'll ask his wife not to hold the phone while driving.
In a note accompanying the video, TMZ responded to Schwarzenegger's tweet by saying, "... your scofflaw wife was at it again."
The hands-free law went into effect Jan. 1.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $45
Very comfortable and excellent value. Equivalent if not better than the Petzl Elios.
- Confort
- Ventilation
I have the Petzl Elios for my personal use and have used it for a number of Scout events and it is a fine helmet. When it was time to buy a helmet for my son, I was going to get another one for him. However, I found some excellent reviews of this helmet, CAMP Armour, and decided to get it instead.
Now, I wish I had purchased the CAMP Armour for my personal use. It is very comfortable and seems to ventilate better. Since we are in Texas, this is important. Both helmets have been out for at least 4 outdoor all day events and have done fine.
The design look reminds me of a fish and it is not as stylish as other helmets, but I always go for function vs. looks.
Where to Buy
$44.96 - $59.95

Judith Scott was a visual artist isolated from outside influences as a result of the impact of deafness and Down's syndrome. She was independent and self-directed. In the eighteen years Judith made her work she never repeated a form or color scheme. Crafting armatures of bamboo slats and discarded materials, Judith diligently wrapped each work with lengths of knotted cloth or yarn. The artist was introduced to fiber art in 1987 by artist Sylvia Seventy at Creative Growth and produced a remarkable, breathtaking body of mixed media sculptures. Roger Cardinal and John MacGregor, internationally known scholars and experts in the field, have both designated Judith an "Outsider artist" as her sculptures reflect little cultural input and are highly individualistic, reflecting Judith's own unique personal vision. Judith's work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Collection de l'Art Brut, Switzerland, The American Folk Art Museum, New York, the Museum of Everything, London. Most recently, from October 2014 through March 2015, The Brooklyn Museum, New York, exhibited the first comprehensive retrospective of her work.
Born in Columbus, OH, 1943 – 2005.

Students in OHIO's COMS 4050 class are organizing a fundraiser for Krisa Rhodes and her 10-year-old son, Zain (seen sporting an Ohio University sweatshirt) who has autism.

Nov 21, 2013
By Angela Brock
Ohio University's COMS 4050 students are using the lessons learned in this meeting and conference planning class to organize a fundraiser for a local mother and her son who has autism.
A group of students in the class will host "Making Moves for Autism," its end-of-the-semester class project, from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, at the Ping Center. A "field day" of sorts for children and adults, "Making Moves for Autism" will include various activities for both children and adults – everything from sack racing, arts and crafts, and piñatas to basketball and cornhole. The event will also include an appearance by OHIO mascot Rufus and coffee and/or specialty drinks donated by Donkey Coffee and Espresso in Athens.
Funds generated from the event, which is open to the public, will benefit Krisa Rhodes and her son, Zain. The 10-year-old has social, behavioral and speech challenges and, like many children who have autism, does not pick up on social cues and becomes overstimulated by normal noise.
Krisa Rhodes plans on using the money to implement the techniques she was trained and certified in through the Autism Treatment Center of America's Son-Rise Program at her home. The program's family-based method of treatment focuses on teaching families better ways to communicate, teach and interact with children who are autistic by developing one-on-one relationships, reducing stimuli and generating eye-contact, for example.
"We were really blessed by the opportunity," Krisa Rhodes said of being chosen for the COMS 4050's fundraising efforts. "There are so many families in need."
The treatment and educational model for the Son-Rise Program has changed the way in which children with autism are helped worldwide. Krisa Rhodes said she has connected with a community of mothers who have autistic children and plans to open the program to that community.
The COMS 4050 class was split into groups with each group organizing its own fundraiser for the Rhodes family. The class has already held five events and has raised about a third of its $3,000 goal.
"We came up with the idea of 'Making Moves for Autism' because we wanted it to be an open and fun experience for all ages," said Brad Mash, a web developer at OHIO who is enrolled in the COMS 4050 class and is helping to organize the fundraiser with fellow classmates Jenna Glasscock, Chelsea Fagan and Matt Williams. "We enacted a thorough marketing strategy to publicize our event to the community, and we have all types of games, ranging from basketball to arts and crafts."
Karen Deardorff, an instructor in OHIO's School of Communication Studies who teaches the COMS 4050 class, applauded the students organizing the fundraiser for "thinking outside the box" and for creating a "carnival-like" event that Zain and his mother can attend.
"The idea behind the project was to give students an opportunity to apply theory and methodology in a real-world application while incorporating and fostering community and community service within the classroom," Deardorff said. "In addition, the activity also serves as a vehicle to raise awareness about autism. I have a Ph.D. in health communication, so working to raise awareness about autism helped tie organizational and health communication together."
Admission for the fundraiser is $8 for adults and children 10 and older and $5 for children younger than 10. Donations may also be made at http://www.gofundme.com/4cnx4c.

Anyone using a Jimmy Reed type harp rack?
Is it home made?
If store bought, have you made any adjustments or modifications?
I am no harp player but I do have a few and once or twice a year I try it again.
I had a harp rack but it is broken.
watertore wrote:thanks Bubba! I tried a piece of foam in the rack. It was more hassle setting up than it was worth. I dabble with these mods for a few minutes and lose interest. I am content with the stock out of the box sounds of whatever kind of harp I play. I use MB, MB Deluxe, and Delta frosts. All work fine. I would rather spend my time playing than tinkering. Walter

Malkin scores twice in return to lead Penguinsby Wes Crosby
PITTSBURGH – Evgeni Malkin picked up right where he left off.
Malkin scored two goals in his first game back from an injury to help the Pittsburgh Penguins defeat the Winnipeg Jets, 6-5, on Sunday at Consol Energy Center.
Facing a 5-4 deficit after two periods, Pittsburgh (30-12-2) recorded the first 10 shots of the third period and Malkin took advantage by scoring his second goal of the game. Malkin collected a rebound off of a shot from James Neal to tie the game 5-5 with 11:31 remaining.
"It was a tough game for me. I'm a little bit tired," Malkin said. "But the rest of my line, they did a great job and most of the time we used the offensive zone. It was a good game for us."
Malkin finished with three points in his return from a lower-body injury that forced him to miss nine games.
Matt Niskanen slapped the game-winning goal past Al Montoya 4:09 after Malkin's equalizer. With the victory, the Penguins tied a franchise record with their 12th consecutive home win.
"Every time we come in here, it's a tough place to play," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "There are a lot of goals being scored. A lot of goals being scored by both teams. Tonight, at least. It hasn't always been that way. But you're going to have to defend against this team. They gave us five goals, so it wasn't like they were putting on a real clinic either."
With Winnipeg (19-20-5) holding a 2-0 lead after the first period, the teams combined for seven goals, including four by Pittsburgh, in the second to give the Jets a 5-4 lead after 40 minutes.
Malkin started the second-period scoring by wristing a shot past Montoya's blocker 1:06 into the period to cut the Penguins' deficit to 2-1. He is now ninth in the NHL in scoring with 44 points.
Neal then scored two goals 34 seconds apart to give Pittsburgh a 3-2 lead 4:59 into the second. Neal received a pass from Kris Letang and snuck a wrist shot in between Montoya's blocker and the left post on his first goal before whipping a shot from the left boards that was deflected by Jets defenseman Zach Bogosian through Montoya's legs for his second of the afternoon.
"We fought back, got some big goals and [Fleury] made some big saves at the end," Neal said. "We need to clean some things up here, but we won the game. It can't always be pretty."
Pittsburgh's lead didn't last long. Blake Wheeler snapped a shot past Marc-Andre Fleury 1:03 later to tie the game, 3-3. The Penguins regained the lead with 8:22 left in the second when Jussi Jokinen wristed a shot through a screen from Neal to reestablish a one-goal Pittsburgh lead.
That lead didn't last, either. After Brooks Orpik slipped with the puck at the point, Evander Kane collected it and raced toward the Penguins' net. He backhanded a shot past Fleury to tie the game, 4-4, with 3:29 left in the second. Kane scored off a backhand shot again with 17.8 seconds left to put the Jets up one goal entering the third.
"I think with a team like that, if you're trying to protect the lead you're going to get eaten alive," Kane said. "We tried to do that in the second period and it was 2-2, [then] 3-2 for them. So we were having success and they weren't. We were playing in their end and playing on offense, so the mindset of playing defensively is sometimes that offense is the best defense. They could say the same thing."
A day after losing 4-1 against the Boston Bruins, the Jets seemed prepared to play in Pittsburgh.
Jacob Trouba scored the game's first goal 1:47 into the first period. Olli Jokinen sent a pass through Penguins forward Joe Vitale right to Trouba in between the faceoff circles. Trouba then wristed a shot past Fleury for his fourth of the season to give Winnipeg a 1-0 Winnipeg lead.
The early goal marked the first time the Penguins had trailed at home since facing a 5-4 deficit in their 6-5 shootout win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Nov. 27.
"I think the big talk about our team in this run has been our start and how we come out in this building," said Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, who tied Eddie Johnston for the Penguins' all-time franchise record of 232 coaching wins. "Today that wasn't the case. We didn't have that start and they had several good opportunities. But we came out after the first period and got back in it."
Pittsburgh took control of the action through the middle of the first, leading to a penalty shot for Sidney Crosby with 3:08 remaining in the period. After he was hooked by Mark Stuart while charging toward the Winnipeg net, Crosby drifted wide right and glided back toward the net but shot the puck wide to the left.
Mark Scheifele extended the Jets' lead with 3.9 seconds remaining in the first after Kane backhanded a pass into the middle of the offensive zone to the 20-year-old rookie, who sent a wrist shot past Fleury for his seventh. But the Jets failed to hold the lead.
"[Pittsburgh is] one of the most talented teams in the League," Olli Jokinen said. "You can't try to outscore them. You have to try to find a way to play good defense and make sure you get the puck on their goal line and on a few goals they made us look pretty bad. But we're not the first team and we're not the last team they do that to."

This item cannot be delivered to a PO Box address.
These are the real thing from where the art of rug making began. Forget the borders of countries for now. Thousands of years ago most of the region where the 'best of the best' rugs come from, was largely called Persia.
Now those artisan who weave rugs can come from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kurdistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and to some degree, India, Morrocco, Nepal and whilst not middle eastern, also China.
99% of the time these rugs are made from wool, but then there are hundreds of various qualities of wool. Beyond wool they can be made from silk, or blended with wool and silk. What sets these rugs apart from all others is that the pile (or tufts) of these rugs are tied to the weft or backing by hand in a knot.
With Rugs a millions' buying strength we are able to source many of our imports direct from manufacturers as well as dealing with other importers. At the end of the day our customers pay less for an item at Rugs a million that is in fact the same or better quality, and is often from the same factory as the matching item sold at designer or department stores.
Hand Tufted Rugs can come from many places around the world, Iran, India, Turkey, Vietnam, Thailand, China, Germany, Indonesia and list goes on.
The difference with these rugs, is that they are not knotted. They are made by hand usually with a hand held and operated tufting gun. A bit like a hand held sewing machine.
These rugs can be made from just about any type of yarn imaginable, Wool, Cotton, Acrylic, Jute, Polyester and so on, as well as blends of any or all of these yarns.
The beauty of these rugs like handknotted rugs is the 'human element'. They are not perfect. They can't be and shouldn't be. That's what makes them special. Each piece is 'one of a kind'
As the title suggests, whilst machine made rugs are close to perfect, it doesn't mean they lack character, texture colour or quality. As with most wall to wall carpets, machine made rugs are very hard wearing and largely easy to care for and clean. Whilst cleaning will mostly depend on the yarn the rug is made from, most machine made rugs are made from virtually un-stainable new age synthetics. The other benefit that is common with machine made rugs is they usually have a short pile and a dense weave and they tend not to flatten as much as some other rugs.
They are all good, but yes some are better than others. These days people buy rugs mostly on the look. If you want shaggy, you just won't get a Persian handknotted one. Some styles come in various construction types and some don't.
Find a rug you like, colour, design, style, size, then ask in store if that style comes in any other construction types. Then decide how long you'll want to keep that rug.
Even the cheapest rugs will last (not wear away) for up to 10 years. This is different though as to 'how the rug will look' with wear.
Wool, Cotton, Acrylic, Polypropylene? Again they can all be good with the right construction and in the right placement.
Some examples;
Cotton rugs will get dirty but they are great in say bathrooms as they can usually be machine washed and come up looking great time after time.
Wool rugs do absorb liquids but with correct cleaning the dirt will usually come out quite easily. Wool is great because it does wear down but the rug will stay looking good right to the end of it's life.
Polypropylene (a new age synthetic) is a plastic fibre which is virtually un-stainable. It is antistatic, which means it doesn't fluff or attract dust. Polypropylene will wear extremely well and last for years, but depending on the grade of the polypropylene, it may flatten and not keep its look as long as a wool rug.
These are just a few examples of yarns. As well as these options in 100% usuage, many of the yarns are often blended like good wines to get the best of many benefits.
We will happily replace any Rugs a million rug purchased online within 5 years of purchase date that is deemed to be 'faulty' by Rugs a million.

- We will replace the rug if deemed faulty where it has had reasonable use and has been reasonably maintained and vacuumed regularly – not held and shaken or beaten.

- 'Faulty' does not apply to staining, flattening of the pile, shading or watermarking, reasonable fluffing or pilling, damage to overclocking, rugs exposed to direct sunlight, rugs used in a commercial or extremely high traffic area, or wear and tear.
- Replace means with equivalent value rug (not equivalent price) in our opinion. Replace does not equate to a refund.
- Rugs a million reserves the right to repair a rug at its discretion.
- Warranty does not apply to cut length hall runners or internal or external doormats or bath mats.
- Warranty does not apply to rugs damaged by incorrect cleaning or cleaned with incorrect or inappropriate cleaners. This may be determined by Rugs a million's professional partner cleaning agents.

Each person finds the sum, mod 'n', of the numbers sent to them by the two chiefs. The person on the list who has their number's sum is their target.
Every person gets to play, the only information being sent is text, and only one person has to do math above a 1st grade level. It seems like a pretty good solution to me.
