The UK's first academic research institute to investigate the "science of cybersecurity" has been launched with the backing of UK spying centre GCHQ.
The "virtual" Institute, which is funded by a £3.8 million government grant, is part of a cross-government commitment towards increasing the nation's academic capability in all fields of cybersecurity.
Its research promises to make it easier for businesses, individuals and government to take informed decisions about how to implement better cyber protection measures, and "safely benefit from the huge opportunities offered in cyber space", said GCHQ, the Cheltenham-based "listening centre".
Established by GCHQ, in partnership with the Research Councils' Global Uncertainties Programme - led by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council - and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills, the Research Institute is a virtual organisation involving seven universities.
It will allow leading academics in the field of cybersecurity, including social scientists, mathematicians and computer scientists from across the UK, to work together.
It will also connect them with the "collective expertise of industry security experts and international researchers to tackle some of the UK's toughest challenges in cybersecurity, in both the public and private sectors", GCHQ said.
Francis Maude, minister for cybersecurity, said, "Already 8% of our GDP is generated from the cyber world and that trend is set to grow.
"Through the National Cyber Security Programme we are putting serious investment into the best UK expertise to lead thought in the science of cyber. The Research Institute will strengthen capability in a strategically important area, keeping the UK at the forefront of international research in the field."
The universities involved in the Institute include University College London - which will host it - University of Aberdeen, Imperial College, Queen Mary College, Royal Holloway, Newcastle University, and Northumbria University.
The University College London's professor Angela Sasse will be director of research. The Institute will be open for business on October 1, and is funded for three and a half years.
Sasse said: "This is an opportunity to work closely with colleagues from different scientific disciplines to tackle the technical, social and psychological challenges that effective cybersecurity presents."
In a further demonstration of public activity in trying to protect the nation's cybersecurity, last week, GCHQ announced it was to offer the UK's large organisations cyber attack advice under a new "Cyber Security for Business" programme.
Up until the 1980s the presence and location of GCHQ could not even be publicised as it was covered by the Official Secrets Act.

The Texas Department of Insurance cautions drivers that they're responsible to pay for accidents they cause. Liability insurance is required by the state to operate a motor vehicle, and if you're found to be at fault in an accident you'll have to pay to repair or replace the other driver's auto, and pay their medical expenses if they're injured.
Liability Insurance Covers Other People, Not You
Many drivers misunderstand the purpose of the liability insurance that Texas car insurance includes, and think that their own medical bills and auto repairs are also covered. Coverage for your own injuries and damage to your vehicle is available at an extra cost, but it's not required in order to drive a car on Texas roads.
When You Need To Prove Insurance
When you purchase your Texas car insurance policy, they'll send you a proof of insurance card. You should carry this card at all times when you're driving in Texas, and be prepared to produce it in the event of a car accident; in order to register your car; in order to renew your driver's license; in order to get your vehicle inspected; and also when asked for it by a law enforcement officer.
Criminal Penalties For Not Having Texas Car Insurance
In addition to the risks of causing an accident at which you are at fault and incurring large liabilities, operating a vehicle without Texas car insurance can put you in jeopardy of criminal penalties. A first conviction for driving without proper Texas car insurance can get you a fine of between $175 and $350, with fines for subsequent violations rising up to $1000. You could also have your car impounded and lose your driver's license.
If you're caught driving without a license and without insurance, the penalties are much higher. In addition to a fine of up to $2000, you could be sentenced to up to 180 days in jail. If you cause an accident while driving without insurance or a license, the penalties increase to $4000 and a year in jail.
There Are Standard Texas Car Insurance Policies Available
When you're shopping for Texas car insurance from someone like http://texasinsurancequotes.us/texas-auto-insurance/, you'll find that many insurance underwriters use a standard policy called the Texas Personal Automobile Policy. This standardized form includes multiple coverages that are the most commonly requested by Texas drivers in addition to the coverage required by the state of Texas. This standardization allows you to compare Texas car insurance policies from many different companies on an apples-to-apples basis, but companies are also allowed to offer coverage over and above the bare minimum as long as the policy variations are approved by the Texas Department of Insurance first.
Basic Auto Liability in Texas covers damage you do to other people's vehicles or property, as well as personal injury you might cause in a car accident. The current minimum amounts you are required to carry to comply with Texas car insurance laws are $30,000 for each person injured, up to a total of $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 for property damage per accident.

Little Azio, Pizza & Pasta
Little Azio restaurants are an exciting alternative to traditional full-service dining establishments. The goal of each Little Azio is to offer our patrons generous portions of modern Italian fare at affordable prices in a fast, yet casual and friendly atmosphere.
Begin your meal with one of our crisp, green salads. Match your favorite pasta with a "made-from-scratch" sauce. Build a pizza with all of your favorite toppings on our thin and crispy crust (baked in a real brick oven) or try a grilled sandwich on freshly baked focaccia bread. Afterward, take a moment to treat yourself to a delicious dessert. Everything on our menu is made from the freshest ingredients available, whether you dine in or order to go.
What's New at Little Azio
Why is our most popular pizza named "Margharita?"
The tomato was first introduced in Italy during the mid-sixteenth century after being discovered in the New World by Spanish explorers. Believing them to be poisonous, Neapolitans initially grew the tomato plants in their gardens solely for ornamental value.
A-Z-I-O: So, how do you pronounce that?
Short "A" like in automatic, "Z" like in zebra, short "I" like in iguana and long "O" like in Ohio. (Ahh-Zee-Oh)
Gift Cards
Little Azio gift cards are a great way to share your love of pizza and pasta.

ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Braves have activated right-hander Jordan Walden from the disabled list and optioned Cory Rasmus to Triple-A Gwinnett.
The Braves announced the move Wednesday before the start of a two-game home series against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Walden was acquired from the Los Angeles Angels over the winter. He was 1-1 with a 4.85 ERA in 14 games before he went on the 15-day DL with shoulder inflammation.
Rasmus struggled in his first two big-league appearances. He allowed five runs and three homers in 3 2-3 innings for a 12.27 ERA. He gave up a double to his older brother, Colby Rasmus, in Monday's game at Toronto.
Cory Rasmus says he jokingly told his brother: "That was an awesome swing, but did you have to do it against me?"

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
It's hard to imagine anyone who isn't praying for everyone in Boston right now. So the fact that country stars are taking to Twitter to send out prayers for all the people killed or injured at the Boston Marathon on Monday (April 15) feels so right.
Here are some of the messages posted within the past 24 hours:
"Like everyone, we've been watching events unfold in Boston, and our deep thoughts, love, and prayers go out to everyone affected by this heinous act. The courage and compassion of our first responders and bystanders who selflessly jumped in to help inspires us all." — Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
"Sending all of my love to Boston after a day of sadness and confusion and not knowing what to say. I just don't understand." — Taylor Swift
"Prayers going out to everyone in Boston. #prayforboston," — Jason Aldean
"It's hard to find words to express the confusion and sadness I feel for what happened in Boston today. I don't understand random acts of violence or, in this case, planned acts of violence, and I guess I never will. Boston is one of my favorite cities, and my heart is with everyone there. Hugging my family a little closer tonight." — Martina McBride
"Boston, sending our thoughts and prayers." — The Band Perry
"Praying for all of those injured and affected by the Boston marathon explosions. Can't believe it. So sad." — Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott
I'm sure Brad Paisley is praying, too, but his tweet expressed pure anger.
"Could there be anything more cowardly than planting a bomb in a public place and running away? These terrorists are the epitome of cowardice," he wrote.

The prophecy has failed. As Athra lies in the dungeons of Taramon with his defeated army, this is all he can believe. His city has been torn apart. He has failed his people and all that awaits him is an agonising death.
But the light has been found.
Ashan and his dark army proceed in gloating triumph. Safeer heads to Mezrah with Taramon's women and children, while the rest of his men remain in the northern city, forcing their prisoners to tear it down stone by stone.
But two sparks have been ignited.
Kyla and Jethro learn of Taramon's demise and, with the children, formulate a plan to rescue their people and bring an end to the overpowering darkness. It will take all their strength and every ounce of faith they possess...
But a furious light is about to be unleashed.

On the day that Opel workers demonstrated against potential plant closures and job losses, Chevrolet's announcement that it will launch a new subcompact SUV called the Trax might be seen as adding insult to injury.
Managers and workers at General Motors' money-losing European unit complain bitterly that GM restricts the brand's ability to boost its bottom line by selling in global growth markets such as China and Brazil, while Chevrolet is allowed to poach at will in Opel's European home territory.
The Trax, a sister model to the Opel/Vauxhall Mokka, launches in Europe early next year, a few months after the Mokka goes on sale. Chevrolet isn't releasing details of the Trax's powertrains or pricing until its Paris auto show debut in September, but it's likely to be offered with a gasoline and diesel lineup similar to the Mokka with a lower price point.
The Trax, also a sister of the U.S.-market Buick Encore, will be sold in 140 countries but not the United States. The Mokka will only be sold in Europe.
The SUV will join other important additions that will help Chevrolet win new customers in its European target markets of Germany, Italy, Spain, France and the UK, including hatchback and wagon versions of the Cruze compact car, a 1.7-liter diesel engine and the Malibu mid-sized sedan as a brand flagship -- along with the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid, which competes with Opel's version of the car, the Ampera.
Slowly, Chevrolet's European lineup is starting to catch up with Opel's with cars built on the same architectures as Opels and using many of the same components.
Chevrolet has come a long way in Europe since 2005 when GM decided to ditch the Daewoo badge for its cheap Korean-built small cars sold into Europe in the hope that the Chevrolet name would add instant brand heritage.
It seems to be working, albeit slowly. In the first quarter, Chevrolet sales rose 11.4 percent to nearly 50,000 in the EU, according to figures from industry association ACEA, with market share up to 1.5 percent from 1.2 percent compared with the same quarter in 2011. Opel/Vauxhall sales were down 16 percent to just over 222,400, with market share dropping to 6.7 percent from 7.4 percent.
When asked whether Chevrolet competes with Opel, Chevrolet executives always insist there is little sales cannibalization between the brands. Opel's competitors are Ford and Volkswagen while Chevrolet competes mainly against Japanese and Korean brands, they say.

Whether it's the Power Rangers, Ultraman, or Kamen Rider, male Japanese superheroes have one thing in common: they are tough and masculine. These poses aren't.
Blogger BakAnki snapped pictures of the superhero figurines doing poses that are, as he explained, "girly" or "photomodel-ish".
"In all seriousness," explained BakAnki on Figure.Fm, "it's actually harder to do a girly pose and make it look good and natural." For these figures, the joints aren't exactly designed for girly poses, making the execution that much harder.
Who said putting Ultraman on the cover of Tiger Beat was easy? It isn't. It's awesome.

Flights to Poland with Qatar Airways
Situated between Russia and Germany, Poland has had its fair share of eventful history. It was only in 1989 that the country gained independence, and it has been growing as one of Central Europe's powerhouses ever since. Cities like Gdansk, Cracow and Warsaw have developed rapidly, and the whole country is full of historic and natural interest, as you'll find out for yourself when you travel to Poland with Qatar Airways.
Poland is full of monuments and picturesque ruins that bear witness to its past. The Russians, Prussians and Austrians have all left their mark on the cultural landscapes of the country, and on the urban and rural architecture in particular. The churches are interesting to visit for their grand Baroque architecture, and the many roadside shrines definitely make for some attractive photo opportunities.
The capital, Warsaw, has a beautiful setting on the River Vistula, one of the great waterways of the region. It is well worth a visit if only to explore its newly renovated buildings following World War II. The buildings were rebuilt to the likeness prior to the war, using old photographs, memoirs and building plans.
If you're based here you'll be conveniently located for visiting other cities such as Gdansk and Cracow, the historic royal capital that is today full of a great expanse of parks and greenery, and is bustling with music, performing arts. The oldest Polish city is Poznan, which is full of historic monuments.
Travel to Poland with Qatar Airways and explore an exceptionally diverse landscape. Spend a few days at the mountains to the south, and enjoy the lakes and hills of the north.

Santana set for debut Wednesday vs. Mets
WASHINGTON -- Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez confirmed veteran pitcher Ervin Santana will make his season debut when he starts Wednesday night's game against the Mets at Turner Field.
Santana's debut will occur exactly one month after the Braves first contacted him with the hope he was still available to help replenish their injury-depleted starting rotation. The 31-year-old veteran hurler was reportedly close to signing with the Blue Jays before he accepted Atlanta's one-year, $14.1 million offer.
With Santana now in the mix, the Braves will begin using a traditional five-man starting rotation. Atlanta's four-man rotation had compiled a 1.42 ERA in five games entering Sunday.
David Hale, Julio Teheran and Alex Wood will all have one extra day of rest entering their next outings. Hale will start Thursday's series finale against the Mets. Teheran, Wood and Aaron Harang will serve as Atlanta's starting pitchers during next weekend's home series against the Nationals.

A car was suspended more than 10-feet in the air after it collided into a children's hospital outpatient clinic in Kearny Mesa, fire authorities said.
Firefighters were working to rescue the driver trapped inside the car, which crashed into the clinic on Frost Street at about 9:45 a.m., according to the San Diego Fire Department.
The car's front and back bumpers were hanging onto the curb above a stairwell which descended below the ground. The car accelerated straight through a gate blocking off the stairwell.

The parking attendant said the driver was having trouble pulling a ticket from a toll booth several yards away. He was rolling backwards in neutral, then hit the gas, speeding at about 30 miles per hour into the clinic, witnesses said.
"Oh it was very scary, I was scared too," said Parking Attendant Mulugeta Lemlem. "He hit the gas and went all the way down. The people was running, and the road was clear."
Some bystanders said they had to dive out of the way to avoid getting hit by the car. No one was injured though.
"I would've been right in front of his car," said Witness Jody Taylor. "So, he flew through. Almost hit a van pulling out...and then went right into the building."
Taylor described the moment she witnessed the crash, and the shock that followed.
"Instantly it was just like adrenaline kicked in because you see this guy barreling through the thing and it's like you're frozen for a second wondering what's happening."
She said the driver started to unbuckle his seatbelt to get out of the car as it was suspended 10 feet above the ground, but she yelled for him to stay in his car.
"Then you could see the glass in the windows below cracking," Taylor said. "So the security guard, I looked at him, and I said get everyone out of that building, cause you don't know what's going to happen."
The driver was pulled out of the car on a stretcher, and is said to be okay, according to officials on the scene. They added he may have had some underlying medical problems. His daughter arrived to the hospital to take him home Wednesday afternoon.
"Six inches more and he would've gone straight down or through the window, because they said that's an exam room right there," Taylor said.
No one was in exam room directly behind crash at the time. All appointments on that first floor were cancelled for the day, but business will resume Thursday. City engineers inspected the building and cleared it for occupancy, so people on other floors were able to return.
The man's car was removed later Wednesday afternoon.

Te'o Awards Candidate Page | Te'o Career Photo Gallery
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Manti Te'o got a call from Dick Butkus on Monday morning, letting him know he was voted the nation's best linebacker. A few hours later, the Notre Dame star accepted the Bronko Nagurski Award as the nation's top defensive player.
Oh yeah, he also picked up a trip to New York as one of the finalists for the Heisman Trophy.
Not a bad day at all.
The energetic senior from Hawaii helped put Notre Dame back in the spotlight this season, leading the top-ranked Fighting Irish to an unbeaten regular season and a date with Alabama in the BCS championship game Jan. 7.
Te'o says being mentioned along with former Nagurski winners such as Charles Woodson, Terrell Suggs, Warren Sapp and Champ Bailey is "something very special to me."
Te'o led the nation's top-ranked defense with 103 tackles and seven interceptions.
He beat out four other finalists: South Carolina end Jadeveon Clowney, Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones, Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner and Florida State end Bjoern Werner.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was on hand as the event's keynote speaker at a downtown Charlotte hotel Monday night and said it's impossible to describe what Te'o has meant to the program.
"It takes time to move from not being part of the national championship discussion for over 20 years to be right at the point of being able to be a national champion," Kelly said. "You need somebody that can galvanize the team and somebody to get them to believe that they can do it. His actions, the way he played and the way he led did incredible things for our football program."
Te'o said this will be a season he'll never forget, but first he'd like to see the Fighting Irish get one more win.
"It's something that you dream of when you're a little kid," Te'o said. "You never think it could happen, then it finally hits you in the face and it's a dream come true."
When asked what he'd rather win – a national championship or the Nagurski Award – Te'o smiled and laughed as if it's the easiest question he's ever answered.
"Hey, all these awards are great, but football is a team sport," he said. "If you ask people who the Butkus Award or the Bednarik Award winners are, or even the Heisman Trophy winner some years, they probably don't remember them. But they remember who won the national championship. They remember that. That's the trophy everybody wants."
Te'o said he's anxious for the BCS title game, although it's still a month away.
As for the 45-day layoff, he doesn't believe it will be a factor once the game begins.
"It can be good or bad, depending on the player and team," Te'o said. "It depends on how badly you want it. You can approach those 45 days as a pro. But if you just want to be in the national championship game and that's enough, you're obviously in trouble. Alabama has obviously been there a lot recently. You've got to act like you've been there, even if we haven't."
Kelly said he doesn't see the Fighting Irish losing focus as long as Te'o is in the locker room leading the way.
"He's a great student and he's really been a role model for everybody in our program," Kelly said. "When you put all of those things together he's more than just a football player and I'm blessed that I had an opportunity to coach him."

The key pieces: Leather jackets, plaid/tartan prints, floral prints, long coats, chunky knits, lace materials, faux fur coats, statement collars and leopard prints.
And: you can mix different prints when they're matching - like leopard and flowers or tartan and lace - everything's possible as long as it looks cool and not too colorful. Keep on layering!

Hello, everyone. I'm new here and don't know if I'm doing this correctly.. If I'm not, please let me know.
I'm from the lower part of Alabama. Growing up here is rough for someone who has "no faith". I came out as an atheist in Middle School and lost many friends because of it. People around here don't like my way of thinking and I grew up hating religious people because of the way they treated me. Now that I'm older, I have met people who accept me the way I am but I don't know many…
Hello Tianna
Welcome to this internet world of rationality and peace, of common sense and freethinking wisdom.
You are invited to join the friendly busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 800 discussion topics and 3880 members.
My pleasure! =) If you have any questions or want to chat, don't hesitate to ask!
Welcome aboard! =) Hope you're doing great today...

Total RecallTotal RecallTotal Recall is a look back at the history of video games through their characters, franchises, developers and trends.
Video games used to be, quite literally for many in US politics, the devil. Or something very close. These days, though, you're more likely to hear about developers getting tax breaks than games being banned.
That kind of acceptance from a former enemy didn't happen overnight. It took years of education and lobbying. Oh, and games making billions of dollars. That helps as well.
This great video by Meredith Bragg and Nick Gillespie charts the history of games and government, reminding us that rock n' roll, movies and comic books had to endure the same kind of "trial by fire" before becoming more accepted.

Greg_R wrote:Hello, new here from North central North Carolina. I am an admitted Handihaulic, I am very fond of the Handi Rifle. My favorites are the 300 Blackout AAC Handi Rifle, the 223 Remington, the 280 Remington and the 45/70.
But I cheated. Along the way I fell for the Modern Sporting Rifles. I have built a 300 BLK and a 223 Wylde to compliment my Handi's. There are plans for a 25-45 Sharps, the closest i can come to the 280 Remington in the AR 15 platform, and a 458 SOCOM to compliment my 45/70.
But there is another problem. I have a little deal working on the side with the Ruger American Ranch Rifle. 5.56 and 300 BLK, but I just met their other sister, the 450 Bushmaster, which has led me here for some advice.
You see, now I am questioning my fledgling relationship with the 458 SOCOM. I have little knowledge of the 450 Bushmaster. I know I like the RARR and the reciever I have for the 458 would work just as well with the 450B. The 450B doesn't seem to be as high maintenance as the 458, cases are easier to find, .451/.452 bullets are plentiful, I'm guessing that a standard 230 grain hardball would make a wonderful plinking bullet for the 450B. And it seems like Lil Gun will be a good powder to feed it. That's about all I know.
I'm hoping to learn a lot here. Hoping you folks will help me make up my mind. Should I push the 458 SOCOM to the side? Should I embrace the 450 Bushmaster and make that my next build. Is the RARR chambered for 450B a good thing? I hear it eats scopes. If i need to staybaway from the 450B RARR I'm sure my relationship with the Bushmaster will end, i will go with the SOCOM. What length gas system for the Bushmaster, what twist? Do I even have a choice in twist rates and gas lengths?
Give me an education, help me decide.

[Updated April 1 2009 (no seriously)] Core Practice is the concept of good enough, copper not gold, in implementing processes. Core Practice, or CoPr, provides a process framework across the whole organisation, a taxonomy for organisaing processes and practices within them, a methodology for creating and filtering practice documentation, and more - all released into the public domain as open content but with a commercial model overlaid on to to incent contributors.
After a couple of years of inactivity while I tried unsuccessfully to generate some interest from an organisation (any organisation), and given the failure of an active CoPr community to spontaneously burst into life :-D, CoPr will get a new lease of life.
This document is an overview of CoPr (Core Practice, pronounced "copper") and of the Institute of Core Practice.
Help for online users
Not everyone can afford or wants best practice. We fully support best practices for those organisations that have the commitment and resources and reason to adopt best practice. For those who do not, something more pragmatic is required, which can be distilled from best practice as well as from legislative requirements and other sources. For these organisations (e.g. small businesses, start-ups, the cash-strapped) there is Core Practice. "If you do nothing else, do these things."
"Best practice is a substitute for knowledge"
Krag Brotby
Simple: a checklist of the minimum things every business needs to do, and how to do them with the least fuss: the copper answer not the gold one.
Free: contributed by the public, and returned to the public for free. It is distributed online at this website, or you can download it as a book. Really. No strings, no spam, no catch.
Trying to repair all the CoPr data, we had a ...ahem... glitch. We've lost all new data, including new user registrations, between August 2nd and 8th 2009. Sorry about the inconvenience
We think we are doing something revolutionary here. is this the first open-source, user-contributed business information?
Open source and similar concepts are well established in other areas (political transparency, freeware, journalism, encyclopaedia...) but has anyone done this with business information in general or process guidance in particular (small business or otherwise)?
Wikipedia has information in it that is useful to a business, but it is not business-focused. It is aimed at the "man-in-the-street" or rather the "person-on-the-browser" (POTB). A small business owner is little removed from a POTB but Wikipedia is too wide-ranging to qualify as "business information".
Welcome to people from the media.

The formal definition of Core Practice is:
The strategic decision to minimise cost in a discipline of the enterprise by implementing practices sufficient to (a) meet obligations and (b) to make processes work to a standard sufficient that risk (to the organisation and to people in its care) is reduced to some acceptable level
to tidy up and debug the cascading style sheets we use for printing CoPr content (and to a lesser extent look at the css for the website that seems to be working pretty well except for some Firefox quirks)
Experience with PHP and/or Drupal useful.
Wanted: people to help contribute (and review) content of CoPr for Small Business.
You can see how much work we have to do here
and exactly which ones need doing here
We need people with experience in small business:
...you name it.
Good written communication skills prefered.
Time commitment can be whatever you like, but expect a minimum of 4-6 hours a week for several weeks.
COPR HAS UNDERGONE A ROUGH UPGRADE: please be patient with us as we restore normal function. Basic stuff will be restored soon but it could be most of 2009 before we are fully rebuilt with a new improved CoPr. Suggestions are welcomed on reshaping CoPr.

Peaky Blinders
Peaky Blinders suits, hats and waistcoats
If you don't know about the series and Peaky Blinders suits, you are way behind the trends. And we at TruClothing want to fix that and explain to everyone the series and why the Peaky Blinders suit is something that every man must have. The series has created a wave of fans that want to relate with the personages in every way possible, and one of them is style of clothing and the Peaky Blinders suit in particular. But before we go any further, let's see what is the interesting and unique thing of the Peaky Blinders suits and style of clothing.
The style of Peaky Blinders suits
For those, who still don't know what a Peaky Blinders suit means, we will provide you with a brief explanation. The series is categorized as a television crime drama on BBC Two that is about a gangster family. It takes place in England in the years just after World War I. Since it first aired in 2013, the Peaky Blinders suits and series have gathered a lot of fans and their fan base continues to expand. Even though the show is based on a real story, the producers have altered the plot, but they definitely kept true to the style and Peaky Blinders suit. Many of the main characters in the series are styled in the Peaky Blinders suit and prove to everyone that the 3-piece vintage-looking suit is not dead at all.
How does the Peaky Blinders suit look like?
Maybe many of us have seen the Peaky Blinders suit and gasped how amazing it looks but does somebody actually know what the suit is made of and how its tailored? If no, don't worry! TruClothing will reveal all the secrets of this style of clothing. Even though the action takes place in England, the Peaky Blinders suit is not a typical set of garments for the British gentleman. Many experts believe that the Peaky Blinders suit is not just something to wear, but more of an instrument to divide themselves from all the classes in Britain and form their own community. For our examination we will take the main character Tommy Shelby as an exhibit and a model. Played by Cillian Murphy, Shelby has a very unique and distinguished style and, of course, Peaky Blinders suit.
Usually, Shelby's Peaky Blinders suit and the garments of the members of the gang are made of tweed in darker colors, where the only touch of color is the tie. Shelby often wears a 3-piece Peaky Blinders suit, usually in the traditional sense – without a coat, but with a waistcoat. But that is not all. The Peaky Blinders suit is a bold combination from heavy, wool fabrics mixed with light, business suits. If we take other historically-based series, the style of the Peaky Blinders suit is very easy to replicate and it is actually very suitable for our modern way of clothing.
What does the Peaky Blinders suit include?
The most important components of the overall vision of the gangster members are the Peaky Blinders suit – that includes the shirt, trousers, coat, the cap, shoes and, of course, accessories. Now we're going to look at every part individually so everyone will be able to understand the Peaky Blinders suit and style and modify it according to their style.
Peaky Blinders suit – the shirt
Let's start with the garment that is essential for every Peaky Blinders suit – the shirt. The most important feature of the shirt of the Peaky Blinders suit is the detachable collar. No matter the style or the color, that was one of the most important things. You can see many styles of shirts that go with the Peaky Blinders suit, like plain white, bold lines, cuffed and etc. The round, detachable collar is an addition to the look by itself providing every man with class and style for their Peaky Blinders suit. Although nowadays is hard to find a shirt for your Peaky Blinders suit with a detachable collar, there are many substitute offers that will definitely help you complete your vintage, classic look.
Peaky Blinders suit – the trousers, jacket and waistcoat
As we already mentioned, the classic Peaky Blinders suit is a 3-piece suit that is distinguished with its slim lapels and trousers. If you really want to achieve the vintage look of the Peaky Blinders suit, you should search for tweed. That is the key to the look. Most of the Peaky Blinders suit are made from Herringbone or Donegal tweed. The suits, tailored from Herringbone tweed have a distinguished pattern and look to the garments. The Donegal tweed, used for Peaky Blinders suit is very well known in Ireland and it is associated with Country Donegal. The country in Ireland is famous for its beautiful fabrics and unique woolen blends, including the Donegal tweed, that is world renowned.
Peaky Blinders suit – the coat
The coat should complement and match the style of every suit and that includes Peaky Blinders suit as well. One of the most important features of the coat is its length and fabric, that goes great with a full Peaky Blinders suit. Usually the overcoat is in dark colors and it is single breasted (that means that the coat has only one line of button in front).
Peaky Blinders suit – the shoes
Every Peaky Blinders suit needs the best matching shoes. In this particular case- boots. Because the trousers of the Peaky Blinders suit are cropped, they require high, ankle boots with a distinguished oxford style finish. They continue the line of the suit and are in dark colors. If you really want to recreate the overall look in the series with the Peaky Blinders suit and the boots, make sure not to shine them, rather than keep them a little bit on the dirty side. Overall you want to achieve a gangster look.
Peaky Blinders suit – the hat
Many people find the hat a very important detail with the Peaky Blinders suit not only because it complements the overall look, but is essential for the plot of the series. The classic look of Tommy Shelby includes a tweed flat hat, that is usually worn by the working class. Today, we don't have those associations and the hats are very stylish and preferred by many men.
Peaky Blinders suit – the accessories
Of course every Peaky Blinders suit needs the proper accessories which will complement the overall look. That might include a hand or a pocket watch, pocket squares and many others. This is actually up to you and you can choose what to add to your Peaky Blinders suit.
Tips how to wear your Peaky Blinders suit for authentic look
If you really want to achieve the authentic look of the Peaky Blinders suit, then here are some pointers:
- Choose a flat hat to complete your look;
- Always wear cropped trousers if you're going to wear the same boots as in the series. If you decide to alter the Peaky Blinders suit, you can choose what's best for your look;
- The shirt is one of the main elements of the Peaky Blinders suit and we suggest you take your time when choosing one. Adding a tie to the suit can be in your advantage;
- Accessorize – more or less, it's up to you. But the complementary accessories will complete your look!

- "Fertilizing the Truth by Natural Means."
- ―The newspaper slogan.
The Liberty Tree is a newspaper that serves Liberty City in various Grand Theft Auto games. The Liberty Tree has been "Promoting Family values for over 50 years". Each issue costs $2.00 in GTA III , and $1.00 in GTA IV.
GTA Liberty City Stories
The map that accompanied the game had a map provided by the newspaper. Liberty Tree was featured prominently in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories through Ned Burner, who pretends to be a preacher. He gives missions to protagonist Toni Cipriani from a confessional box in the Liberty City Cathedral saying that they will help save him. The first mission is to retrieve a briefcase from an FBI informant before he hands it to the FBI, and then delivering it to the Liberty Tree offices. Cipriani then steals another briefcase containing diamonds, and then creates chaos on Staunton Island whilst driving a Firetruck. The final mission for Burner was killing three celebrities (Faith W., DB-P and Black Lightman) on their way to an interview with Liberty City Free Radio. Burner would report on each story: the first about an athlete on steroids, the stealing of diamonds, chaos on Staunton Island and the death of three celebrities. Burner would eventually be killed by Cipriani on orders from Donald Love as Burner witnessed the killing of Avery Carrington. The user guide for GTA LCS is in the form of a copy of the Liberty Tree.
Liberty Tree was first featured in Grand Theft Auto III, copies of the paper featuring Claude with a different skin featuring the now famous headline Zombie Elvis Found! can be seen amongst debris particles that are blown around by the wind in the game. A Liberty Tree website was used as a teaser site. Articles appeared on the characters such as Salvatore Leone, Toni Cipriani, Joey Leone, Luigi Goterelli, Donald Love, Barry Harcross and Mayor Miles O'Donovan.
According to the GTA IV documentary, A History of Liberty City, the first Liberty Tree newspaper came out in 1835, however, citizens complained about this as they wanted less political news and more dirty news, like murder and rape.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Liberty Tree can be read on the in-game internet on the Liberty Tree website. It shows the happenings of the city, along with Niko's exploits. The Liberty Tree name is found on some Steed trucks. A Liberty Tree newspaper can be seen in certain interiors, with Manny Escuela on the front page.
Articles from the Liberty Tree newspaper can be read in the in-game internet after some of the missions are completed, one of then even mention a storm that hit and devastated Liberty City. Others, mention some of the events of the storyline, like the "disappearance" of Devin Weston.

- In GTA IV, the newspaper misspells Manny Escuela's name on the front page, spelling it as "Escuella". It also lists the date March 3, 2005 as a Tuesday, when in reality it was a Thursday, which is also somewhat erroneous, as GTA IV is set in 2008. However, as the bottom of the newspaper reads "Bronx Crime" (a real location as opposed to its Grand Theft Auto counterpart Bohan), it can be presumed that this was concept art early in development, which would explain the inaccuracies. Even more interestingly, New York City is mentioned in the articles, despite being set in the GTA equivalent of New York City.
- In GTA V, the article about the storm that hits and devastates Liberty City could be a reference to Hurricane Sandy that hit New York City that caused some devastating destruction to the city in 2012.
- In the Liberty Tree newspaper with the headline "MY EXPLODING HOOTERS RUINED OUR HONEYMOON", just above it, it reads "FREE BROADWAY TICKET PROMO". The same message also appears in another newspaper with the headline "MAYOR HONORS MANUEL ESCUELLA" above Manny Escuela's picture. The real Broadway is not mentioned in GTA IV. This is most likely an oversight by the developers.

Matt,as I promised Norma I will have to find it ASAP and I will send it to you and her, I have a guest pizzaiolo from Venice in my house until the 16th. Be patient! this site is full of great recipes, can you read italian?

I guarantee you will be hooked to their pastries that you will be making lots of trips to Brooklyn. I use semolina extra durum to make bread, pasta and I put some on the sfincione. I bought 50lbs for $16.00 wholesale. It gives a nice flavor and a nice crunch and color.

The O2 Workshop is a small-business drop-in centre, carved out of the company's Tottenham Court Road store, which hopes to provide an Apple-store environment only for suits.
Just as Apple stores have become the place for trendy consumers to be seen hanging out, so O2 is providing somewhere for small companies who have given up the expense of a central London office but are tired of trying to balance three laptops on a Starbucks table when the team does have to meet.
That space comes in the O2 Workshop, within the franchised O2 store at 229 Tottenham Court road, where home workers can gather in semi-private meeting rooms, congregate in the private conference room or amass in the seminar room with three, nine and 29 colleagues respectively.
They can also relax in the lounge where they will be provided with free drinks and "tablet devices for browsing". We're guessing those won't be iPads. There's also free Wi-Fi throughout, in the usual way, and O2 "Gurus" on hand in case anyone fancies buying something while in the store.
Start-Up Britain and Enterprise Nation are signed up to help run weekly seminars for small businesses too, in case one's colleagues are insufficiently edifying.
The idea isn't a bad one. Companies based around home workers need somewhere to get together, and coffee shops aren't well-equipped. Many years ago motorway services suddenly sprouted offices-by-the-hour, for the same reason, though they didn't last.
It's certainly better than just trying to copy what Apple does, when Apple does it so well, and hopefully O2 won't get anyone trying to order pizza, have a date or bring a goat into the building, though if things go well they might get an IPO or two. ®

Soon after the American Revolution, prominent citizens began to form exclusive social organizations and join hereditary and patriotic societies. Many societies were organized in the late 1880s and 1890s when membership in these organizations became very popular.
These societies are generally involved in educational, cultural, social, and other programs to preserve the documents and memory of the past. They often maintain libraries and museums that can help you in your research. Most publish a periodical or newsletter, such as the Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine.
One of your ancestors or relatives may have submitted application papers containing his pedigree in order to join a lineage society. These records often include multi-generation pedigrees and information from family Bibles, death records, or military documents. They may also lead you to someone else interested in your family. Unfortunately, these papers have not always been carefully documented, but they can provide excellent clues for further research. Some societies allow only members to use their records.
The Family History Library has over 2,000 microfilms and numerous books of society records. These include application papers, yearbooks, ancestor rolls, membership rosters, and publications of the societies. For example, the library has microfilm copies of a card index and 100,000 applications for membership in:
Sons of the American Revolution. Membership Information, 1776-1996. Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1996. (On 1,087 FHL films starting with 541473.)
The library also has major collections from the following societies:
- General Society of Colonial Wars http://www.gscw.org/
- General Society of Mayflower Descendants http://www.mayflower.org/
- Holland Society of New York http://www.hollandsociety.org/
- National Society of the Colonial Dames of the XVII Century http://www.colonialdames17c.net/
- National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) http://www.dar.org/
- National Society of New England Women http://www.newenglandwomen.org/
- National Society, Sons of the American Revolution http://www.sar.org/
The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) at http://www.dar.org/ is the largest and most popular lineage society in the United States. It has had over 188,000 members and several chapters in each state. This society actively encourages members to locate and transcribe records useful to genealogists. An index to the Revolutionary ancestors of DAR applicants is:
Daughters of the American Revolution, Millennial Administration. DAR Patriot Index. Three Volumes. Washington, DC: DAR, 2003. (FHL book 973 C42da 2003.)
Addresses, membership requirements, and information about most lineage and hereditary societies are in:
Roberts, Jayare, and Dorothy Hebertson, compilers. Register of U.S. Lineage Societies. Salt Lake City, Utah: Family History Library, 1990. (FHL book 973 C43m 1990; fiche 6050647.) This register gives call numbers and describes many of the society records available at the Family History Library.
The Hereditary Register of the United States of America. Annual. Yoncalla, Oregon: Hereditary Register Publications, 1972-. (FHL book 973 C4u 1986.)
Family Associations[edit | edit source]
Many family organizations are gathering information about their ancestors and descendants. Some organizations are gathering information about all individuals with a particular surname. Family histories, newsletters, family group records, and other information gathered by family organizations are described in the "Genealogy" section of this outline. The Family Registry and the Ancestral File (also in the "Genealogy" section) can help you locate active associations. Some researchers have located family organizations and other researchers by posting queries on the Internet or by searching the membership directories of online computer genealogy groups. Also helpful is:
Bentley, Elizabeth Petty, compiler. Directory of Family Associations. Third Edition. Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1996. (FHL book 973 D24benb 1996.)
Fraternal Organizations[edit | edit source]
Your ancestor or relative may have belonged to an association, lodge, or secret society whose membership is based on common interests, religion, or ethnicity. Many sources, such as local histories, biographies, obituaries, tombstones, family records, and artifacts may give you clues that an ancestor belonged to a fraternal society. Examples of these societies include:
- Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (Freemasonry) http://www.freemasonry.org/
- Order of Eastern Star http://www.easternstar.org/
- International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) http://www.ioof.org/
- Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (BPOE) http://www.elks.org/
- Lithuanian Alliance of America http://www.everyculture.com/multi/Le-Pa/Lithuanian-Americans.html
- Ancient Order of Hibernians of America http://www.aoh.com/
- Knights of the Maccabees http://www.meta-religion.com/Secret_societies/Groups/Other/knights_of_maccabees.htm
- Modern Woodmen of America http://www.modern-woodmen.org/Public
These societies were involved in political, social, and financial activities. Around 1900, for example, there were over 2,000,000 members involved in fraternal insurance programs.
For more information about fraternal societies, see:
Schmidt, Alvin J., Fraternal Organizations. Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 1980. (FHL book 973 C47sa.)
The records of fraternal organizations may exist in a society or business archive. Some genealogical information may be obtained through correspondence.
The Family History Library has histories of fraternal societies but very few records. In the Family History Library Catalog, find:
Most information about fraternal organizations in the Author/Title Search under the organization name.
Some organization histories are in the Place Search under the locality, then topics such as SOCIETIES, GENEALOGY, HISTORY, OCCUPATIONS, MINORITIES, and PUBLIC RECORDS.
Guide to Societies and Associations[edit | edit source]
Current addresses, functions, and membership requirements of fraternal, ethnic, veteran, hereditary, patriotic, and other associations can be found in the:
Encyclopedia of Associations. Three Volumes. 32nd edition. Annual. Detroit, Michigan: Gale Research, 1987-. (FHL book 973 E4gr.) Section twelve, "Veterans', Hereditary, and Patriotic Organizations" is especially useful for genealogists.
Locating Society Records in the Family History Library Catalog[edit | edit source]
Records of these societies are usually described in the Author/Title Search of the Family History Library Catalog under the name of the society. They are also listed in the Place Search under one of the following:
Some records gathered by societies are listed in the Locality Search under the type of record. For example, cemetery transcripts gathered by a local genealogical society are listed in the catalog under the [STATE], [COUNTY] - CEMETERIES.
Lists and guides that describe the collections of societies are listed in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog under:
You can also find information about some societies under the name of the organization in the Subject Search of the Family History Library Catalog.

The latest taxation plan in Springfield is more than a bit hard to swallow.
State Sen. Mattie Hunter, D-Chicago, has introduced legislation for the state to start taxing soda pop at a rate of 1 cent per ounce.
That would jack up the price of a case of pop by 50 percent or about $2.88.
Hunter's reason is straightforward: Pop makes us fat.
No kidding.
So do pecan pie, potato chips and just about anything eaten to excess.
Should we start creating special taxes for them, too?
Or, you know, a few years ago I was reporting in Cuba and found that the government there rations food. It seems to ensure no one gets fat, but it leaves plenty of folks hungry.
Perhaps that is a model Hunter should consider.
Back during World War II, our government rationed food. I still have some of my grandmother's ration stamps tucked away in a drawer.
Maybe that would be a scheme worthy of the good senator's adoption.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying soda is particularly good for you.
Like many journalists, I was once a caffeine fiend downing seven or eight diet sodas a day.
But 15 months ago I gave up all pop. Now the only beverages I consume are skim milk and water.
But that is a personal choice.
And pardon me, but personal choices should be just that - personal. They shouldn't be subject to the dictates of government.
Government needs to butt out of our private lives.
Personal responsibility should triumph over government mandates.
By the way, in case you think this is all about government wanting just the best for you, think again.
This tax plan would suck $600 million a year right out of the pockets of Illinoisans, one quarter at a time.
And that money would be used to further expand government.
Illinois doesn't have a revenue problem - it has a spending problem.
Revenues are at their highest level in the state's 196-year history.
But our state government is still broke.
There is an insatiable thirst for dollars in Springfield that no soda tax can quench.
While soda may be making people overweight, new taxes are making our government fat.
That in itself is a good reason for supporters of the new tax to put a cork in it.

The National Transportation Safety Board recommended Tuesday that states lower their threshold for drunken driving with the goal of reducing alcohol-related fatal crashes, which have held steady for much of the past 15 years.
The board voted 5-0 to encourage states to change the minimum blood alcohol concentration from 0.08 percent to 0.05 percent or less.
Want more public safety & justice news? Click here.
Since Utah became the first state to adopt the 0.08 standard 30 years ago, the number of Americans killed in alcohol-related crashes has fallen by nearly half, but nearly 10,000 still die every year.
NTSB Chairwoman Deborah Hersman said that while the United States prides itself on transportation safety, it lags behind its peers in cutting drunken driving fatalities. She noted that European Union countries had slightly exceeded their goal of cutting such deaths in half.
"Impaired driving remains one of the biggest killers in the United States," Hersman said. "Other nations are taking steps toward saving lives."
The unanimous vote came exactly 25 years after the nation's worst alcohol-related crash, near Carrollton, Ky. On May 14, 1988, a church group was returning home from a trip to the Kings Island amusement park near Cincinnati when a pickup going the wrong way on Interstate 71 crashed into the group's bus. It ruptured the fuel tank and ignited a fire that quickly engulfed the bus. Twenty-four children and three adults were killed.
The pickup driver, Larry Mahoney, had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.24, more than twice the legal limit in Kentucky at the time. A jury convicted Mahoney of manslaughter and he served nearly 11 years in prison.
"We have made progress since that deadly night in Kentucky," Hersman said. "But it's not nearly enough. Today, our thoughts are with those families."
NTSB has no enforcement power over the states, so the change would have to come from state legislatures and governors. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday that it would help states that decide to implement the recommendation and encouraged them to take other steps that would prevent impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel.
"NHTSA continues to work with states and encourages them to take a multi-faceted approach to reducing drunk driving that includes the use of ignition interlocks, education and awareness programs, and enforcement of state drunk driving laws," the agency said in a statement.
As recently as 2000, 31 states had a limit of 0.10, but Congress passed a law that year that allowed the Department of Transportation to withhold highway funding from states that didn't fall in line. Delaware was the last to comply, in 2004.
According to NTSB numbers, the percentage of alcohol-related vehicle fatalities has changed little since the late 1990s, hovering around 30 percent.
Not everyone would support the lower limit. Sarah Longwell, managing director of the National Beverage Institute, a restaurant industry group, called the NTSB recommendation "ludicrous." She and other opponents of the 0.05 limit said that law enforcement resources were better spent on the worst offenders instead of what she called moderate drinkers.
"Further restricting the moderate consumption of alcohol by responsible adults prior to driving does nothing to stop hardcore drunk drivers from getting behind the wheel," she said in a statement.
Her group cites federal statistics that more than 70 percent of drunken driving fatalities involve drivers with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 percent or more, and that the average level of a driver involved in a fatal crash is 0.16.
Even one of the leading advocacy organizations that pushed for the 0.08 limit stopped short of endorsing the NTSB recommendation. Mothers Against Drunk Driving said in a statement that it appreciated the NTSB's work but said it would focus its efforts on law enforcement tools that it projects would save thousands of lives a year.
"Above all, MADD strongly recommends that the safest course of action is to not drink and drive," it said.

Guest Submission by Ron Devito
This week on The Palin Radio Update with Kevin Scholla: A SarahNET Radio special presentation. Todd Palin is here! The First Dude and Kevin take a look at Todd's new NBC show Stars Earn Stripes which premieres after the Olympics. Todd and Kevin also discuss Governor Sarah Palin's political future, attacks on the Palin family, fatherhood, Iron Dog racing, Van Halen, and much more! Don't miss Todd Palin on The Palin Update with Kevin Scholla! Tune in anytime ON DEMAND only on SarahNET Radio!
"He is the former First Gentleman of Alaska, but we like to call him the First Dude, Champion snow machine racer, super husband and dad – Todd Palin."
"You've been making headlines lately and it has nothing to do with politics. You're one of the celebrity participants in the new NBC show, Stars Earn Stripes. It's being billed as reality TV boot camp. You and the other contestants are each paired with a trainer who has been a member of the armed forces or a law enforcement agency, and then what? You all have some tough assignments out there?" Scholla asked.
"Well, Stars Earn Stripes is just an emotionally driven highly competitive series with the base cause being: bringing money to military-based charities, and it has been a life experience for me. I've done stuff that I never thought I would do: jumping out of helicopters, shooting .50 caliber World War I machine guns, so it's just been awesome," Palin said.
"And, you're in a remote location…" Scholla said.
"Well, we are in a remote location….The competition – eight celebrities, eight military ops – both the celebrities and the military ops are all incredible. I didn't know what to expect, but you know – real competitive – but everybody is there for the cause. Everybody's got a busy schedule. They're family people and they're taking time out of their busy schedules to make this series be a good show.
"And that is the best part. This is all for some great causes. Each team playing for a military or veteran's charity. Can you say what your charity is?" Scholla asked.
If Palin wins, his proceeds will go to Armed Services YMCA Alaska.
"They're there 365, 7 x 24 for our military families in Alaska. I connected with them a few years ago. I was invited to one of their combat fishing contests. Last year, they had 250 Iraq vets and they fish out of Seward, Alaska. When I went, I was sitting next to an Iraq vet who probably never fished in his life, and when they hook on to a halibut and you see the smile on their face – you just can't put a value on that," Palin said.
"It makes you remember why you got into it in the first place, right?" Scholla asked.
"Exactly. I'm just honored to be part of this series. It's going to be very exciting. People are going to be just blown away on what we do. You know, jumping out of a helicopter is pretty stressful. I mean we're all nervous you know when we all have got to do the same competition," Palin said.
H/T Ian Lazaran, Conservatives4Palin for NBC video trailer lead.
Praise Todd Palin has received from trainers on the show, including the Greatest Sniper in American History, Chris Kyle, US Navy SEAL: "Going through that knee-high mud will drain anyone except Todd Palin. He's kind of like God walking on mud out there," and "you don't need Chuck Norris. Send in Todd Palin."
"Sounds great. We're looking forward to it. Each week, a team will be eliminated. Stars Earn Stripes premieres August 13….now even before your jump into reality TV, you've made some news as of late supporting Newt Gingrich with a full endorsement of his presidential run, and more recently you and Gov. Palin endorsed some candidates, including Orrin Hatch in his reelection bid in Utah. I know Sen. Hatch really appreciates your support and truly respects your opinion on things, and he's not alone," Scholla said setting up the background for his question.
"Do you ever get a chance to sit back and think how things have changed for your family over the last few years? Is it still strange to be a national – and really – a worldwide figure?" Scholla asked.
"It is strange in one aspect, but Sen. Hatch has been known for many many years. Pres. Reagan got behind him the late '80s. We need warriors like that to teach the new guys on being a conservative in DC," Palin said.
"Obviously, we do this show, because of Gov. Palin and her values and her possible political future, but I have to say from one very personal standpoint, I can relate to you in a way a lot of American can't. We know you're an athlete, and a sportsman, and a tough guy. You've also worked for years and have provided for your family, but at the same time, you've also done a lot of the child-raising," Scholla said.
He continued, "now, you have me beat with five kids and a couple of grand kids. I have just two young children, but I've pretty much watched my daughter on weekdays for four years now while still working at night and on weekends and doing whatever it takes. Tell me, am I right here? Isn't that the toughest job of all?" Scholla asked.
"Kevin, there is no question. That is the toughest job in the world: be a mom, and you know, I was blessed to have opportunity to on-the-job train on the North Slope. My job was week on – week off for many, many years – close to 20 years, and when I came home, I made sure I was taking care of everything, because when I was gone, Sarah had to be the mom and the dad and take care of the house, but it provided for my family for many years, while allowing us to continue to live the Alaska lifestyle that we enjoy. You know, commercial fishing in the summer time, Iron Dog in the winter time, and kids activities throughout the years. But, being a mom is the toughest job in the world and when you get to put the mom hat on and have dad kid time, it's pretty special," Palin said.
"You hear that folks? This is a guy who's worked oil fields on the North Slope and as a fisherman – dangerous work, but he knows kids are a whole 'nother animal. I couldn't agree more. How are all your kids? My daughter and your little guy are only one month apart. Everybody all doing well?" Scholla asked.
"All of our kids are doing great. Grand kids are doing good. Time just flies by, and you know working a week on a week off on the North Slope, every time I come home, you can tell the difference. All of our kids were born when I had my Slope job, so you just make sure you set that time aside and enjoy every moment, because it happens so fast," Palin said.
"And many thanks to Track from all of us. A true American hero. One other thing I've always commended you for and really, honestly, I can't wait to hear your answer, because for the life of me, I don't have one – how have you been able to control yourself through all of the vicious and mean attacks hurled at Gov. Palin not to mention Bristol and others. I think I would've probably punched someone in the nose by now. How in the world have you remained so classy when so many cowards have said so many hateful things about those closest to you?" Scholla asked.
"Well, you know, they're cowards, and they don't have a life, and I don't let them drag me into their mud. You have to stay above it, and in my book what comes around goes around. And I've got five kids, a couple of grand kids, and I'm going to devote my time to them. I'm not going to devote any of my time – my precious time – on getting in the mud with these guys. I'm just not going to waste my time with them," Palin said.
"You know, you should be so proud of yourself, and it just goes to show: we all admire Gov. Palin's character. Well, we can see she's surrounded by high-quality people in her life, whether it's her parents, or you, or the kids. Very admirable the way your family continues to act and not stoop to the level of those who want to bring you down," Scholla said.
"What's the latest on Iron Dog? Will you be back at it again next year?" Scholla asked.
"Iron Dog – last year, I think was my 19th year. You know Scott Davis and I hooked back up after a year off. I think it was the longest Iron Dog marriage of eight or nine years. Usually, the average Iron Dog marriage is about five, but Scott and I are talking about next year, and it's just one of those events that gets under your skin, and you just can't pick it out. You know, I always tell my friends, 'what a guy does for a week of vacation, and also it's a very expensive gym membership,' but looking forward to making a decision here very quickly on getting geared up for next year's race," Palin said.
"And you've brought it to the attention of a lot of folks in the Lower 48, so good for the sport as well," Scholla said.
"As Van Halen maniacs, do you guys have a preference between David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar?" Scholla asked.
"That's a good question. We met Valerie Bertinelli here last December, and we let her know that we were Van Halen fans going through high school and Trig – his middle name is Trig Paxson Van Palin – and Valerie and Eddie are still very close. They're best of friends and so she had a big smile on her face, and she's going to pass that on to Eddie. We're big fans of both of them, you know, and hats off to them for their longevity and their good music," Palin said.
"And I do love the kids' names you've picked. We've gone that route too with some distinct names and I did mention that to the Governor when I met her a while back as well.
As for the Palins politically, all doors still open down the road for Gov. Palin?" Scholla asked.
"You know, you'll have to ask her that one day. I'm the supportive spouse. I don't make those decisions for her. But right now, you know it's a pretty important time in American history, and people need to wake up and get involved, and when you look at Sarah's experience – local politics is the toughest politics. I mean, that's her foundation; that's her base. And when you have – being a mayor of a city and people are calling you, 'get this dog out of my yard!' and 'in your face' politics and she's got a great foundation, but we have a huge election coming up in November and people need to be active," Palin said.
"Listen, the guy's been a superhero in a lot of his every-day, and on Stars Earn Stripes, he gets to play super hero with some different challenges. We'll certainly be watching. Todd Palin, good luck with the show and everything else and all the best to your wonderful family," Scholla said.
"I wouldn't say super hero. I'm just you know technically a little tiny army guy for a few weeks, but I'm very excited about the show. It's great, great operatives that you're going to be very surprised when you hear who the military operatives are. I mean, we have Delta Force, we have Navy SEALS, we have first responders and just a great cast of celebrities and every one of them – I'm just so impressed – and you know – just class act Americans and good patriots, so I'm excited for the show and Kevin, thanks for taking the time out of your day to give me a call," Palin said.
"Thank you, Todd. You're the best. Take care," Scholla said. "You too," said Palin, as Scholla signed off the show.
