History Of Footwear
Spanish cave drawings from more than 15,000 years ago show humans with animal skins or furs wrapped around their feet. The body of a well-preserved "ice-man" nearly 5,000 years old wears leather foot coverings stuffed with straw. Shoes, in some form or another, have been around for a very long time. The evolution of foot coverings, from the sandal to present-day athletic shoes that are marvels of engineering, continues even today as we find new materials with which to cover our feet.
Has the shoe really changed that much though? We are, in fact, still wearing sandals – the oldest crafted foot covering known to us. Moccasins are still readily available in the form of the loafer. In fact, many of the shoes we wear today can be traced back to another era. The Cuban heel may have been named for the dance craze of the 1920s, but the shape can be seen long before that time. Platform soles, which are one of the most recognisable features of footwear in the 1970s and 1990s were handed down to us from 16th century chopines. Then, high soles were a necessity to keep the feet off of the dirty streets. Today, they are worn strictly for fashion's sake. The poulaine, with its ridiculously long toes is not that different from the winkle-pickers worn in the 1960s.
If one can deduce that basic shoe shapes have evolved only so much, it is necessary to discover why this has happened. It is surely not due to a lack of imagination – the colours and materials of shoes today demonstrate that. Looking at shoes from different parts of the world, one can see undeniable similarities. While the Venetians were wearing the chopine, the Japanese balanced on high-soled wooden shoes called geta. Though the shape is slightly different, the idea remains the same. The Venetians had no contact with the Japanese, so it is not a case of imitation. Even the mystical Chinese practise of footbinding has been copied (though to a lesser extent) in our culture. Some European women and men of the past bound their feet with tape and squashed them into too-tight shoes. In fact, a survey from the early 1990s reported that 88 percent of American women wear shoes that are too small!
As one examines footwear history, both in the West and in other parts of the world, the similarities are apparent. Though the shoemakers of the past never would have thought to pair a sandal with a platform sole, our shoe fashions of today are, for the most part, modernised adaptations of past styles.

Kim Hyun-Min
The 2012 Club World Cup kicks off in less than one week, and is set to cap off the year in football as the world's most well-known clubs vie to be named the best.
The tournament, which runs from December 6 to 16 in Japan, will see the top clubs from all the world's confederations battling it out, and, while most football fans are familiar with the likes of Chelsea and Corinthians, several other competitors are in need of introduction.
In this series, Goal.com presents to you all seven teams that will be taking part in this highly-anticipated tournament. Here, we profile Ulsan Hyundai.
Ulsan Hyundai were established in December 1983. The club, first based in Incheon, were originally named Hyundai Horang-i (horang-i being the Korean word for tiger in Korean). They participated in the K-League from first season in 1984, finishing in third place. They moved to Gangwon in 1987 then settled in Ulsan since 1990, adopting the Ulsan Hyundai name in 2008.
The club has only won two K-League titles (in 1996 and 2005), but a record six runner-up finishes have lead to them being considered one of South Korea's powerhouse clubs. They have also won five cup titles, second-most beyond Suwon Samsung Bluewings.
Coach Kim Ho-Gon arrived at Ulsan in 2009 and although the team was unstable at first, since last year the club has demonstrated steady defending fierce counter-attacks in order to win the ACL and end as K-League runners-up. Ulsan's playing style has become known as "iron mace football" by fans, and Fans started calling style of Ulsan as 'Iron mace football'. The arrival of Lee Keun-Ho, Kim Seung-Yong and Rafinha gave Ulsan the power needed to rise to the top of Asia.
Ulsan's counter-attacking style was boosted this season with the speed of Lee Keun-Ho & Rafinha and the accuracy of Kim Seung-Yong. They scored 27 goals in 12 AFC Champions League matches, including 16 goals in six knock-out stage fixtures.
The team's basic formation is 4-2-3-1, with tall striker Kim Shin-Wook leading the attacking line. Behind him, Lee Keun-Ho, Kim Seung-Yong and Rafinha move around in free roles. Lee Ho and Estiven control the tempo as double volantes, and the back line is anchored by captain Kwak Tae-Hui. Occasionally Ulsan is known to adapt a 4-4-2 formation as well.
|THE STAR | Lee Keun-Ho
The 2012 ACL MVP and AFC Asian Player of the Year, Lee Keun-Ho returned to Korea after three years in the J-League in order to serve his mandatory military service. His great movement and penetration are known to give opposing defenders fits, and despite injuries he still had an impressive K-League season with eight goals from 21 appearances. He's also scored five goals for South Korea in 2012, four of which came during World Cup qualification.
|THE SYMBOL | Kwak Tae-Hui
Kwak Tae-Hui is the captain of both Ulsan and the South Korean national team. Just as he is with the Taeguk Warriors, Kwak is the centre of the defence and the leader of Ulsan. His leadership forms the backbone of Ulsan's "iron mace football". Kwak is also famous for his heading ability in set-pieces, demonstrating his skill by scoring the opening goal in the ACL final against Al Ahli.
|THE YOUNGSTER | Kim Shin-Wook
At 24 years old, 196-centimetre-tall Kim Shin-Wook is the youngest player in Ulsan's starting line-up. He started his career as a defender but became striker in 2009 when Ulsan's forwards were all injured. He is dangerous from any part of the pitch, but his strength in the air is so notorious that he's considered the sharp end of the Ulsan mace.
Manager Kim Ho-Gon is notorious for his unchanging starting lineups, so for the most part Ulsan will bring the same formation that they have used in recent K-League fixtures. Central defender Kang Min-Soo will be absent due to an ankle injury, and as a result Lee Jae-Sung and Kim Chi-Gon are expected to fight for his place.

Baruch College Presents Terminus by Ira Eduardovna Opening September 25 at New Media Artspace
Video still from The Room, Ira Eduardovna, 2007. Single-channel video.
NEW YORK, NY - September 18, 2013 - Baruch College presents Terminus, an exhibition of video works by Ira Eduardovna, curated by Katherine Behar, Assistant Professor of New Media Arts at Baruch College.
The show will open on September 25 and run through the end of the fall semester at the New Media Artspace gallery in Baruch's Library and Information Building, 151 E. 25th Street.
The Jewish Studies Center will host an artist talk and closing reception in the Engelman Recital Hall, Baruch Performing Arts Center (BPAC), 55 Lexington Ave, on December 4 at 6 p.m.
Ira Eduardovna was born and raised in former USSR until she immigrated to Israel in 1990. She currently lives and works in New York. Eduardovna's work reconstructs narratives of an autobiographical nature and examines issues of migration and identity, which she shows as being in flux through non-linear story telling. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the immigration wave that followed it is a phenomenon that Eduardovna investigates in her work as a personal experience and a global one: her work contemplates the loss of communist ideals that promised to lead the world to a bright future, and their disassembly and navigation in the constant search for a new place.
Eduardovna's video installations examine the border of video and architecture and the influence of architecture on the experience of time and memory. Her installations often involve videos and architectural objects that recreate the spaces in which the narratives occur.
Ira and her family usually perform in her videos. Her work presents the familial structure as a model of society as a whole. She examines the changes that occur in the family once it's been displaced into a different societal structure, and/or once the societal structure collapses and visa versa.
Ira's work has been shown internationally in Israel, Europe and USA including solo shows at Momenta Art Brooklyn and Braverman Gallery in Tel Aviv. Group shows include the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Bat Yam Museum of Contemporary Art in Israel, Postmasters Gallery New York, LOOP video art festival, Barcelona among many others. She is the recipient of the 2012 Artis exhibition grant and The Ostrovsky family fund for experimental film in 2012 and 2013. Ira will be artist in residence at FUTURA, Prague in fall 2013 and at Residency Unlimited in 2014.

Jaime Hernandez: The 1986-P Statue of Liberty Silver Dollar was produced in order to commemorate the Statue of Liberty, which is located in New York.
Obverse: The obverse features the Statue of Liberty, behind her the Ellis Island building is also visible in the background.

History: The Statue of Liberty sits on a 12 acre island in New York. It stands over 300 ft. tall from the ground up. Most significantly, for many years it has been the first glimpse of the United States for many immigrants have arrived to the U.S. by ship.
Furthermore, the Statue of Liberty Silver Dollar is a significant coin as it reminds us of the relationship between both France and the United States. On October 28, of 1886, France presented the Statue of Liberty to the U.S. in order to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence and to commemorate the bond and friendship between both countries.
Issue Price: The clad 1986-P Statue of Liberty Commemorative Dollar was sold directly by the U.S Mint at a pre issue price of $20.50 for each coin. The regular issue price was then set at $22.00 for each coin.
The Mint also offered a 1986 Proof Silver Dollar version of this same design. Proof Silver Dollars were stuck at the San Francisco Mint.
The Mint also offered a gold 1986 $5 proof and uncirculated version of this design. Both proof and uncirculated coins were struck at the West Point Minting Facility.

Clarkson University Professor Ruth Baltus Honored with Distinguished Teaching Award
Potsdam, N.Y. -- Sophie V. Vandebroek, Xerox chief technology officer and president of the Xerox Innovation Group, today received an honorary doctor of science degree at Clarkson University's 115th Commencement.
The degree was awarded "for her successful, career-long effort to pioneer innovative research for a changing global marketplace, and her personal commitment to developing the next generation of technology leaders."
Vandebroek offered the class of 2008 two pieces of advice. The first was to always look for the opportunity, no matter how challenging a situation is. "My favorite proverb is a Chinese word," said Vandebroek. "It has two characters... And the two characters together say 'crisis.' But if you cover the left stroke and look really hard ... you will see 'opportunity.' And most of us... see very quickly the crisis or the danger when something bad or difficult happens to you... Look at them as opportunities. I hope such a tragic event, of course, doesn't happen to you, but no matter how big the event is, look at it as an opportunity."

Four people are seeking two seats on the Maricopa County Community College District governing board, which oversees policy and a $1.5 billion budget for the 10 colleges.
The seats represent District 1, which includes Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and part of Mesa, and District 5, which includes south Phoenix and part of the southwest Valley. The districts are the same as the Maricopa County supervisor's districts.
A faculty political action committee has posted a video on its website highlighting past accusations against one candidate and current controversies about another.
In District 1, the incumbent, Doyle Burke, 73, of Tempe, is running for re-election and was endorsed by the faculty PAC, a separate entity sponsored by the Maricopa County Community Colleges Faculty Association. Burke, a retired Mesa Community College professor, was appointed to the board two years ago when Colleen Clark resigned.
His opponent is Frank Denogean, 54, of Chandler, a substitute teacher in the Phoenix Union High School District.
In 2007, Denogean was fired from his job as a coach of the girls' basketball team at St. Mary's High School in Phoenix after he was accused of inappropriate behavior during a 2006 team trip to Iowa. His teaching contract was not renewed. No charges were filed in the case.
Denogean said last week: "Unfortunately, some false accusations were made and obviously, anyone can make an accusation and they were false, and I never had my certification taken away from me. If it comes up, I answer honestly like I always have."
Burke said he wants to keep his seat because several important issues are ahead, including a possible bond election for the district.
"Another facet of that is the changes that are occurring in higher education. We're going through a sea change, in part because of the emphasis on producing more people with certificates and degrees,'' he said. "We've made a commitment to increase by 50 percent the number of people who get a degree by 2020, and we're monitoring progress on that annually."
Denogean, whose son attends Phoenix College, said he's a supporter of the community colleges.
"A lot of people realize the community college system is a priority for their child as university costs are getting higher," he said. "I'd like to see tuition stay stable if possible, and I'd like to see some partnerships with businesses."
The District 5 board member, Don Campbell, is retiring after serving for 30 years on the board.
Two people are running for the seat: Carnella Hardin, 68, a retired community college professor, and Ben Miranda, 63, an attorney and former state legislator who also served on the governing boards of the Roosevelt and Phoenix Union school districts.
The faculty political-action committee has endorsed Hardin, citing concerns about Miranda, including an investigation by the State Bar of Arizona into petition irregularities with his campaign. Ben Miranda's brother, Richard Miranda, was recently imprisoned after admitting taking money from two non-profit organizations.
Ben Miranda said: "I wish I could address this issue but I've had to retain an attorney and he's advised me not to make any comment. I fully expect the issue to be resolved without any violations."
He said he's running because he's interested in education.
"The primary issue is that we really have to do a better job at linking up with the business community and looking at innovative ways to train the workforce," he said.
Hardin said she decided to run because she understands the plight of community college students. She attended college as a single mother who worked full time.
"Getting my education wasn't easy," she said. "I just look at students today and I know the demands of industry for them."
Barry Vaughn, chairman of the faculty association's political action committee, said the group is endorsing candidates who will avoid the infighting that stymied the board a few years ago.
The governing board members have wide power. Besides the annual ability to raise the tax levy on the property owners of Maricopa County -- which they did in 2011 but not in 2012 -- they also decide whether to raise tuition.

LODI - A 45-day ban on outdoor medical marijuana cultivation within Lodi city limits has been extended for 10 months and 15 days.
LODI - A 45-day ban on outdoor medical marijuana cultivation within Lodi city limits has been extended for 10 months and 15 days.
The Lodi City Council on Wednesday night granted a request by the City Attorney's Office to extend its 45-day ban, which was approved Nov. 7, with hopes that an ordinance that will govern how and where pot can be grown by licensed medical marijuana patients.
The temporary ban means patients cannot grow marijuana outdoors, or indoors if the plants can be smelled beyond a grower's property line.
The council's decision came with some protest. South Lodi resident Joshua Dougherty, who grows at his home, told the council he is often visited by police. He urged the city to be expedient in its process of allowing marijuana cultivation.
"You guys are mistreating medical marijuana patients" during the ban, he said.
Lodi does not have any laws in place regarding how medical marijuana can be grown. The police will respond to complaints, but unless a grower violates other city code violations or state laws, they are allowed to grow inside or outside. Residential and commercial properties are not prohibited from growing, either.
Cultivation had not been seen as a major problem, at least not in the council's eyes, until October, when a south Lodi woman complained that her neighbor's marijuana plants brought on a "dead skunk" smell that made opening her windows or doors unbearable.
That grower is Dougherty, who said he uses the drug to relieve pain caused by major abdominal and intestinal diseases.
Dougherty said his neighbors never complained to him, and he has purchased a greenhouse and filtration system that will diminish the odor.
Schwabauer told Dougherty that as long as his plants cannot be smelled over his property line, he would consider the greenhouse to be indoors.
City Councilwoman JoAnne Mounce suggested the city also consider reducing electrical rates for medical marijuana growers during the moratorium. Patients complain that energy costs are very high to grow indoors.
Schwabauer said he would research the idea, but that he suspects subsidizing medical marijuana cultivation - which is illegal at the federal level - would draw the ire of the Attorney General's Office.
East Lodi resident Joe Ventura said he's in support of the medical marijuana moratorium because he sees drug use leading to crime in his neighborhood. He said he knows people who use medical marijuana to "come down" off of harder drugs.
With the council's unanimous approval of the extended moratorium, Mayor Alan Nakanishi said he looks forward to being presented with a variety of ordinance options in the coming months.

Civil War classic story 'Little Women' in Madison Thursday, Friday (video)
Madison >> Madison Drama Club takes a look into the struggles of a family after the Civil War with their production of "Little Women."
The story centers around the four March sisters -- their coming-of-age and struggles to keep their family together after their mother is asked to move to Washington to see to their sick father.
Jo Marsh, portrayed by senior Rachel Rockwell, is a bit of a tomboy who aspires to become a writer. Dreaming of England, she is set aside in place of her younger sister Amy, portrayed by sophomore Hannah West, who is instead chosen to go to Europe with her aunt.
"This show tells a story of separation and being reunited," Rockwell said. This will be the young actor's last performance at Madison and she said that despite the part being relatively simple for her, Jo's determination and motivation to become an accredited writer is a bit challenging at times.
West said she was excited to play more of a lead in "Little Women," and said that Amy is an obnoxious young teen who won't admit she looks up to her older sisters. Because of her impressionable young nature, Amy is chosen by her aunt to travel to Europe because of her proper demeanor.
Will Travis is returning in a lead role for "Little Women" as well, portraying family friend and eventually member Theodore "Laurie" Lawrence the Third. Travis explained that his character grows to love Jo, who wants nothing to do with him romantically. After saving Amy's life and her leaving, the two fall for each other when she returns to the States and end up getting married.
"This show has been a lot of fun to put together and everyone in the audience will enjoy it because we've put our hearts and souls into this," Rockwell said. West and Rockwell agreed that there is something in the show for everyone, with the serious drama surrounding the March family coupled well with great breaks of humor.
"It's great to watch a family trying to stick together," said West. "Even after falling apart throughout the show, they manage to come back together in the end."
"Little Women" will hit the stage today and Friday, April 4 and 5, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $3 for students and senior citizens and $4 for adults.

Whole lemon-lime tart
Thursday, February 19, 2009
lemon-lime tart
Remember that deeeeelicious tart crust we made yesterday? A good thing to fill it with is this whole lemon tart, except if you don't have a whole lemon, and you only have a lime and a quarter of a lemon, this is a good tart to make. Or maybe make it a whole lime tart, with a lime and a half. Either way, make it for company. Once your tart crust is made, it will take you maybe 6 minutes to throw this filling together. You will need another half an hour or forty-five minutes to bake it, then some time for cooling (hint - stick your tart in the fridge to cool it faster).
Whole lemon-lime tart
Whole lemon-lime tart
From Smitten Kitchen
1 partially baked gluten-free tart crust
1 lime
1/4 lemon
1 1/2 c sugar
1 t vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 T cornstarch
3/4 stick butter, melted and cooled
optional: 1 T fresh lavender, chopped
Preheat the oven to 325. Slice the lime and lemon quarter into thin slices, then combine with sugar and pulse in the food processor until only little tiny pieces remain. Pulse in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. Pulse in the cornstarch and butter, and lavender if using, scraping down the sides at least once. Pour the filling into the tart crust, place pan on a cookie sheet (just in case), and bake for 20 minutes. Check to see that the top isn't browning too much (if it is, cover loosely with foil), then turn the heat up to 350 and bake another 20 minutes or so, until no longer wobbly in the middle. Cool, and dust with powdered sugar right before serving.
I will try this with other citrus fruits soon.

Jeanie - Thanks!
Marlow- me too, then I would have someone else to feed!
Hi! I blog gluten free too :) I saw your comment over at Smitten Kitchen.ReplyDelete
Your crust looks delish! I have a almond flour crust recipe, but it didn't really work with this tart (too nutty, didn't take to baking that long). I've been looking for more of a GF shortbread type crust - maybe I'll give yours a try!

Børge Ring is an internationally known Danish animator who has lived in the Netherlands since the early 1950s. Born in Ribe, he did his first steps in the animation field at the age of 13. By 1940, Ring was a jazz musician, guitarist and bass player. He was a member of Svend Asmussen's band and performed on recordings by Leo Mathisen and Pia Beck. He was a volunteer for Jørgen Müller's animation studio at Gutenberghus Reklame Film in Copenhagen in the late 1930s.
He opened his own animation studio with Bjørn Frank Jensen in the Hiort Lorentzensgade in Copenhagen in 1948 and together they worked on films like 'Grævlingen og harerne'. Together with Arne Rønde Christensen they eventually opened their company Ring, Frank & Rønde. The studios made several animations for advertising purposes, but had to close down in 1950-51 after which Ring returned to music.
He came to Amsterdam, Holland, and performed as a musician in the City Theater before landing a job with the Marten Toonder Studios in 1952. Ring stayed with the studios for 21 years and was one of the key animators together with his compatriots Bjørn Frank Jensen and Per Lygum. He married his colleague Joanika Zwart in 1971 and left he studios in 1973.
Fleurtje by Joannika and Borge Ring (Tina, 1974)
Although mainly an animator, he worked on comics in the 1970s and 1980s. For Sjors magazine, he drew 'Distel' in cooperation with his wife Joanika Ring (text by Lo Hartog van Banda and Patty Klein, 1970-74), as well as the slapstick series 'Kobus en Kachelmans' (scripts by Piet Hein Broenland, 1973-74). At the same time, they drew 'Fleurtje' for Tina, also with scripts by Klein. He also illustrated several stories starring Disney's 'Chip 'n' Dale' for the Dutch Donald Duck weekly from the 1980s until the early 1990s.
Ring has since worked on a great many animated feature films, commissioned films and animated shorts in Europe and Canada. He cooperated with Studio Idéfix on the animated 'Astérix' films of the 1970s. He is however best remembered for his independent short films 'Oh My Darling' (1978), 'Anna en Bella' (1986) and 'Run of the Mill' (1999), for which he not only did the animations but also performed the musical soundtrack. The first won the Jury Prize in Cannes in 1978 and the second an Academy Award Oscar in 1985.
In the late 1990s, he made the animation series 'Anton', based on his own early childhood memories. The series was broadcasted by the KRO in Holland and also became popular in Japan.

Hannah has been offered a book deal -- well, an e-book deal, with an unnamed editor who she is a big fan of.
As she's gushing over her dream becoming a reality, he tells her she's got a month to get it done. He hugs her, pronounces her his new protege and as she rounds the corner leaving the restaurant, she pukes.
Booth-Jonathan and Marnie are in bed when his assistant comes in (totally unconcerned about their nudity) and after a pleasant chat, he fires her for taking a bite out of his rosewater ice cream. With no assistant to host the art opening at his house that night, B-J asks Marnie to do it. She's delighted.
At Grumpy's, Ray asks Hannah where his copy of "Little Women" is. Apparently his Godmother gave him the book and it's important to him: "She writes notes in the backs of books explaining how they relate to my sh--."
"How exactly does your Godmother think that 'Little Women' relate to your sh--?" Shoshonna ponders, "Like, does she think you're a Marmee or an Amy?"
I love this line of questioning, as there are some, I'm sure, who wonder if they're a "Marnie" or a "Hannah."
The book is at Adam's. Shosh insists Adam retrieves it himself as it's his manly duty. Ray knocks on Adam's door with great trepidation. Adam tells him the book is in the bathroom, which is currently inhabited by a very angry dog. Turns out Adam stole the dog. He saw the dog's owner treating him poorly while he was tied up at a coffee shop and Adam took it upon himself to steal him (or "rescue" him as he puts it).
Ray is mortified and berates Adam on how wrong that is, even if the owner was a jerk you can't steal a dog, they're like family. Adam finally agrees but asks for Ray's help in returning the dog (who Adam has named "Dog," of course) as his owner was a bit of a meathead and Adam thinks he might need "back up."
Ray is totally flattered by being asked to be someone's muscle and agrees to accompany Adam to Staten Island to find Dog's owners (there was an address on his collar). On the ferry, the two of them have a heart-to-heart about how younger women and older women are the best/easiest to date ("It's the in-betweens that are the problem," says Adam).
This odd couple is suddenly having a real moment and it looks like they each may have found a real friend. But wait, this is "Girls," so probably not.
Marnie is looking for the perfect dress for the "first thing that we're hosting together as a couple" as Shoshonna lays on the bed giving her usual pitch-perfect color commentary. "I mean, no presh, but like, that's like a really big deal. Oh my god can I COME?"
Hannah, no surprise, is struggling to write one sentence of her book. Jessa, still reeling from her ugly break up with Thomas-John, shuffles messily into the room only to spit at Hannah that her book "doesn't matter."
"You are so mean when you're depressed," Hannah responds.
Back on Staten Island, Adam and Ray's bonding is quickly breaking down. Ray (innocently) asks Adam what he saw in Hannah.
'I'm a difficult person, everyone's a difficult person. She was accepting of my brand of difficult; she was okay with it," Adam says, in one of my most favorite lines of this episode.
A few moments later though, Adam turns on Ray completely, I guess offended by his line of questioning, first asking him if he has feelings for Hannah and then getting more pissed when Ray says he's not attracted to her. It's Jekyll and Hyde as Thoughtful Adam is stomped on by Crazy Adam and Crazy Adam shoves Ray and abandons him with Dog. Oh Thoughtful Adam, we hardly knew ya.
Hannah attends the opening event that Marnie is hosting with Booth-Jonathan and is completely uncomfortable as Marnie (in a Judy Jetson dress) is too busy hobnobbing with the fabulous artistes to listen as she tries to tell her the big news about her e-book deal.
Hannah can't take it and leaves promptly. Down in the wine cellar (!?), Booth-Jonathan tells Marnie he'll give her $500 for her services and she realizes he's hired her to be his hostess. She says she thought she was his girlfriend and he scoffs. Their relationship ends, with B-J breaking several bottles of wine and whining about how no one really likes him, they just want to be with what he "represents."
Ray finally finds Dog's house, and is verbally accosted by the petulant teenage daughter of Dog's owner. She refuses to take Dog back, spews a bunch of really offensive anti-semitic slurs at Ray and marches off, warning him that her Dad will likely harm him when he gets home.
That night, Hannah continues to struggle starting her book and calls Marnie. The two exchange an entirely fictitious conversation, Marnie saying that the party went great and Hannah relaying that her book is coming along swimmingly. There are several long, aching moments of silence as each of them bite their tongues against the ugly truth. "Love you, bye," they each say. Hannah punches her pillow in frustration.
In the final scene, Ray and Dog are sitting on a bench looking at the city. Ray breaks down sobbing as Dog whines by his side.
This episode was a welcome change from the insular, character study-ish plot of last week's. I think Dunham's main goal (given the episode's title) was to show how the boys in the series are just as confused and emotionally underdeveloped as the girls. Ray is without a doubt the moral compass and anchor of maturity of the show, and even he was left in tears by the end.
I hope he keeps Dog, though.

STATEN ISLAND, NY -- The staff of Stand True Ministries, Priests for Life and all the ministries under the Priests for Life/Gospel of Life umbrella were saddened to learn of the untimely death of Students for Life of America field director Kortney Blythe Gordon and her unborn daughter, Sophy.
On Saturday, Oct. 8, Kortney, 28, and Sophy were killed instantly in a head-on car accident coming home from a Students for Life of America event in Georgia. Two students and an SFLA staff member were injured in the crash. A 58-year-old South Carolina resident in the other vehicle also was killed.
"I have known and worked alongside Kortney for many years; she was a friend, fellow pro-life warrior and a woman of God," said Bryan Kemper, founder of Stand True and the Youth Outreach Director for Priests for Life. "For as long as I have known Kortney she has selflessly given her life as a sacrifice, standing in the gap for the victims of abortion.
"Kortney often quoted one of her heroes, Sophie Scholl, a young German activist who sacrificed her life while speaking out against the Nazi holocaust. Kortney has lived her life like Sophie and will be counted as a hero herself in the fight against the abortion holocaust."
Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, said, "At moments like this we're reminded that this great pro-life movement is a family. Let's comfort one another with as much prayer and assistance as we can."
Students for Life of America is accepting donations to help with funeral expenses for Kortney and Sophy. For information on how to donate, go to https://kortneyandsophy.sagefundraisingonline.com/2
Stand True and Priests for Life will be dedicating this year's Pro-life Day of Silent Solidarity on Oct 18 to the memory of Kortney and Sophy.

Toni A. Martin 6/26/2002 2:13:59 PMVery good capture, though I feel it needs to be a vertical shot. I have learned that one must focus on the eye of a bird or animal.

Jonatas Belusso who was at E-Land this year and Gangwon last year came to Korea on a Syrian passport. Daegu's Eder is Brazilian but has a Palestinian passport I think and they definitely have three other Brazilians so he'll have to have used his Palestinian one.
Could all be above board with these chaps of course in which case all well and good, but if they were improperly registered then the resultant points deductions (surely?) would make things interesting. Gyeongnam could yet still be coming up, their links to Serbian warlords has certainly kept them safe here...
Aug 12 2016
The United Arab Emirates' Arabian Gulf League is named in two investigations into passport fraud, The Sports Integrity Initiative has learned. The separate but overlapping investigations revolve around the use of false, stolen and/or improperly obtained passports.
One investigation relates to widespread abuse of Asian football's '3+1' rule, under which one of four 'foreign player' spots in a team's roster is reserved for a player from another Asian nation. It is believed a number of players from Brazil and Chile have been unduly given Asian passports as a way of cheating this rule.
The UAE Football Association was last year asked to investigate one club's claim that a rival player – who had only just transferred from Brazil – was playing having used the passport of a elderly Uzbekistani woman. The complaint was withdrawn shortly after being lodged. At the time, at least five South Americans were playing in the league using Asian passports, taking up around a third of the league's Asian player spots.
The SII is aware of a number of other South Americans playing across the continent on Middle Eastern passports, including several from Syria and Palestine. It is believed only a small number of them are legitimate.
The other investigation – which is also being carried out by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) – involves East Timor's use of Brazilian players. This is a separate investigation to the one launched by FIFA last year, after the Timorese fielded seven Brazilian-born players in a World Cup qualifier against Palestine.
The launch of FIFA's investigation – which, almost a year later, is still yet to be concluded – saw the Timorese stop using their tranche of Brazilian players for the rest of their World Cup qualification campaign. The practice resumed in June, when East Timor and Malaysia met in two Asian Cup qualifiers, prompting the AFC to look into the matter.
Around two dozen Brazilian footballers – all of them male – are believed to have received Timorese passports since former FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter visited the country in early 2011. Many of the recently naturalised players have never been selected for Timor's national team, but do play in Asian leagues, including the UAE's. A number of Brazilian-Timorese players advertise 'Asian passport' on their Twitter and YouTube accounts.

The canonical argument of Archbishop Vsevolod was valid and accurately laid out the Rights of the Oecumenical Throne on the matter. However, of course, the enacting or exercising of these rights is at the prerogative and discretion of the Oecumenical Throne herself. Moreover, I am confident that whatever decision His All-Holiness and the Patriarchal Synod, by canonical right, reaches on the issue, the decision will be one with the best interests of Orthodoxy in mind and the one that will be in the best interests of the Church as a whole.
GiC,You seem to be spiritually drunk and deluded in your fantasy of "canonical rights". I fail to see how you've been any better than the Johnnie Cochran of canon law.
If you find a deficiency or inaccuracy in my arguments and posistions in relation to the Canons and Administration of the Orthodox Church, I would prefer you present your own arguments from our Canonical Tradition, rather than restoring to ad hominem attacks. The simple fact that you, or the MP for that matter, does not like the implications of our Canonical Tradition does not in any way diminish their spiritually binding oecumenical authority.
No, it's YOUR one-sided, uncharitable, unpastoral, (the list goes on) INTERPRETATION of the Canons that is deficient.

Whether or not you are correct in your assesment of greekischristian, you really need to show him why you think so - otherwise it will just continue in a perpetual cycle. If you're right, show him why you're right. And if you're wrong, then you will at least show him your perspective and maybe he'll clarify his position.It's the same thing he was asking for - if you don't like his position (which you obviously don't), then present your own position (and, he asks, with support from the canonical tradition) so that you can dialogue about it - show the interpretations and canons that support your point; quote Fathers, Mothers, and canonical scholars. If you're right, then saying he's the Johnnie Cochran of canon lawyers isn't going to help; (and, btw: I think we should leave Johnnie's memory to rest a bit considering his recent death).It seems as if your post exhibits some, um, accumulated frustration with the position he takes regarding interpretation of the canons. It helps neither one of you to allow it to remain at the current level. Bring up your arguments, and then the two of you can begin to re-clarify each other's arguments until an agreement, or a mutual understanding, can be reached.And the reason why I haven't addressed this formally to greekischristian in addition to you is that I know he is going to read this (probably in a few hours) and will understand that I am talking to him as well.Thanks for putting up with another of my rants.

Irish Hermit scores for the Russkies!
"....From 988 to 1686 the Ukrainian Orthodox Church was under the canonicaljurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. The ConstantinoplePatriarchate in 1686 renounced its right to the Ukrainian Church. TheUkrainian Church throughout its ancient life (988-1686) was a canonical(canon 28, Fifth Ecumenical Council) jurisdiction of the ConstantinoplePatriarchate, but the latter officially renounced it in May of 1686 and gaveall authority to the Patriarch of Moscow. Although this transference tookplace by outright simony and government coercion, from 1686 to 1924 theConstantinople Patriarchs, unfortunately, never officially voiced theirprotest against the unlawful seizure of the Ukrainian Church by Moscow; theyalways continued their good, sisterly relations with the Moscow Church, andfor this reason they lost their canonical right to the Ukrainian Church byMoscow, for the thirty-year term of ecclesiastical prescription previouslyestablished by the Canons for the purpose of protest (Canon 17 of the Fourthand the Canon 25 of the sixth Ecumenical Council) had long passed. (It istrue that in 1687 the Constantinople Patriarchate cancelled the decree of1686 but did not make the appropriate official protest to Moscow)."Further, on September 23 1723, the Patriarch of Constantinople, Jeremias,together with the Patriarch of Antioch by their official Tomas(proclamation), confirmed the so-called synodal system of the RussianChurch, of which the Ukrainian Church was a part, as they well knew. By thisact, Constantinople openly renounced its rights to the Ukrainian Church forthe second time. After all, Canon 28 itself, of the Fourth EcumenicalCouncil, upon which the subordination of the Ukrainian Church to thePatriarchate of Constantinople was based, is doubtful and unclear, and wasnot a universal rule, not being generally accepted by all the Churches ofthe time. For this very reason the Church of Moscow in 1589 separated fromthe Church of Constantinople and became autocephalous, electing its ownPatriarch."
Here's a question for you: if (God forbid) the Patriarchate of Constantinople were to cease to exist, what would that do to the canonical structure of the Church? Would the "barbarian lands" revert to the Patriarchate of Alexandria, or would they be cut loose to go their own way?
There are members of the Patriarchal Synod around the World to choose a new Patriarch. If the entirety of the Patriarchate were destroyed, with no bishops of the Oecumenical Throne remaining in the World, the rights and privileges of Constantinople would fall to whatever Patriarchate gained control over that City (or where the City used to be -- provided there are any bishops left in the world).

HAMPTON — Deron Powers aspires to be Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year, so confidence isn't an issue. But no, he didn't envision his rapid ascent from college newbie to top scorer and team leader.
Hampton University coach Ed Joyner Jr. gave Powers the ball in the season opener against William and Mary. The coach and his 5-foot-11 freshman point guard from Williamsburg haven't looked back.
"After we finished the recruitment process, we were sold that he was the person, the point guard, that we wanted to bring in," Joyner said. "We've been telling him from day one that we didn't have a problem with him running the team, as long as he tried to get the job done. He said he wanted the responsibility. He took it and he took it running. He definitely took it running."
Powers leads the Pirates in scoring (11.7 ppg), assists and minutes as they embark on the second half of the season. HU (5-10, 2-0 MEAC) dives into the heart of conference play with home games Saturday against Morgan State at 6 p.m. and Monday versus Coppin State at 8 p.m. — the nightcaps of men's and women's doubleheaders.
"Coming in, I didn't think I would score the way I am now and have as much of an impact as I am now," Powers said. "I've really exceeded that."
Powers is one of eight new faces — freshmen, redshirts, transfers — on a roster that experienced growing pains through the first two months, as players and coaches learned each other and settled into roles and rotations.
Powers' role never wavered. He was the point guard from the jump. But his comfort level and effectiveness increased.
"Through the first half of the season, I've learned to live with his decisions," Joyner said. "I love the decisions that he makes. If he makes a mistake, it's an aggressive mistake. It's not one because he's backing down from anybody."
He added, "I thought that he would be good. I didn't know that he would progress this far, this quick."
Powers has had some remarkable performances in the past seven weeks: 22 points in a win against Howard in early December; 17 points and 10 assists, with one turnover, in a win against American; 19 points and five assists in a win against James Madison; 16 points and 10 assists, with two turnovers, in last Monday's win versus Quinnipiac.
Joyner wants Powers to balance scoring and distribution, but the calculus for his point guard doesn't rest with statistics.
"The body of work means more to me sometimes than individual stats," Joyner said. "Numbers don't lie, but they don't always tell the whole truth."
For example, Joyner can live with turnovers and missed shots from Powers, as long as he's being aggressive and forcing the action on opponents. Low turnover games, said Joyner, himself a former point guard, don't always translate to maximum effectiveness.
"The thing I came to him and said, if you don't have a turnover, that means you weren't being aggressive," Joyner said. "I don't want you turning the ball over, but that doesn't mean you were aggressive enough."
Powers is perhaps less attuned to numbers than his head coach.
"People come up to me and ask, how much are you going to score? How many assists are you going to get?" he said. "I tell them, we'll have to wait and see how I play. Whatever I come out with, I come out with. After games, I usually just get dressed and go. People have to come find me and tell me what I got."
Powers has been that way going back to high school. He played as a freshman at Bruton, then his mother, Eureka Powers, facilitated a transfer to Williamsburg Christian Academy with the aim of improving her son's academic focus and discipline.
"Deron's a hard worker, good personality, good teammate," Williamsburg Christian coach Chris Gann said. "He really fit in well at the school and was the type of kid that other kids gravitated toward. Basketball-wise, he's a winner. He's the type of kid that's going to find a way to try to make a play, whether it's a defensive play or a big basket or setting up one of his teammates. He's really centered on winning."
Powers attracted modest college recruiting interest. Hampton was the only school that offered a scholarship when he committed, though several others showed interest during his senior year — notably, William and Mary, Niagara, Florida Atlantic, VMI, The Citadel and Jacksonville.
"He was probably a little under-recruited," Gann said. "Obviously, I'm a little biased. But he kind of floated under the radar a little because there are a hundred guards out there that are 5-11 and his size. But as it works out, he had a great senior year."
Powers felt most comfortable with Hampton's coaches and the playing style that they described. Still, he deferred to the coaches and upperclassmen at the beginning of the season.
"At the beginning of the year, I thought he tried too hard to please us, and then do what he does after that," Joyner said. "We've tried to get him to understand, 'Do what you do, and that's the best way to please us.' We understand there's going to be mistakes, but believe it or not, there are times when we don't think he's aggressive enough."
Joyner said there's been no pushback from upperclassmen, in part due to Powers' personality and in part because of his effectiveness and willingness to share the ball. Though he's attempted more shots than anybody on the team, they rarely seem forced.
"I credit Emmanuel Okoroba for coming along, but (Powers is) a big part of that," Joyner said. "Jasper Williams and Ramon Mercado have started making jump shots, and I credit the work that they've done, but his aggressiveness was a part of that. That's one thing that he's exceeded for us. He's figured it out, now we just want him to keep going."
Not only has Powers played well, but he's logged productive stretches at critical times. Against Quinnipiac, he scored five consecutive points — two free throws and a three-point play — to break a tie at 60 and give Hampton a 65-60 lead in an eventual 70-64 win.
He had a hand in eight straight points versus James Madison, giving Hampton its largest lead at 61-47. The Pirates needed every bit of that cushion to hold off a furious Dukes' comeback, 69-65.
Against American, Powers had a hand in 26 of HU's 28 points — either scoring or assisting — during a 14-minute span of the second half in a 72-65 win.
"I don't really have that killer instinct at the beginning of games," Powers said. "I'm more relaxed, trying to get everybody going. I guess in the second half, if we're down or we're not doing what we need to, I try to pick it up."
Powers averages a team-high 31.3 minutes per game. Joyner doesn't plan to parcel out his minutes as the season progresses, in anticipation of Powers wearing down.
"He does everything he needs to do to take care of himself and make sure he's ready to play," Joyner said. "I hope he doesn't hit 'the wall.' I'm not going to say it doesn't happen, but it will shock me if it happens to him."
The areas in which Powers needs to improve are typical for most freshmen: consistency, defense and decision making. As the point guard, he's trying to be more vocal and not simply lead by example. He doesn't lack in those areas, and all parties believe he will get better.
"As pleased as we are with the way he's played," Joyner said, "we're more happy with the person. He's a great young man, along with being a great ballplayer, or someone with the potential of being a great ballplayer. He's exceeded my expectations to this point. Now, he's going to have to exceed them a whole lot more to get us to where we want to go, but he's done a great job."

(RNN) - Marion and Luigi have come to real life in a new video, jumping around and battling obstacles with a twist – it's all done Parkour.
This video is put together using extraordinary athleticism, remarkable graphics and video editing to bring you a Super Marion Bro's. experience. No princesses or turtles were harmed during filming.
According to the YouTube video description, the two heroic plumbers are "doing what they do best: freerunning."
The stuntmen do tricks while collecting coins, bumping bricks, dodging fireballs and traveling through pipes.
The duo's video is set to the classic theme dashed with a hint of heavy metal, but it seems fitting for the pair.
The two Parkour experts in the clip are Ronnie Shalvis and Christian Russell. In the video, Christian plays Marion and Ronnie plays Luigi.
The biggest complaint YouTube users seem to have is Marion just can't seem to keep his hat on.
The men, who are already stunt stars, have also done a Star Wars and Assassin's Creed video showcasing their skills.
The clip was uploaded on Tuesday and has already been viewed nearly 1.5 million times.

Mostly we write about Colorado beer. But with the men's basketball Final Four this weekend — and Colorado's teams long since eliminated — we reached out to craft brewers in the four cities that are home to the remaining schools and asked them which of their beers they would put up against any other.
We didn't have any trouble finding willing participants — more evidence of craft brewing's growth. As the Brewers Association reported this week, there are now more than 2,000 small and independent breweries in the U.S.

Nullum crimen sine lege ("no crime without law") is the moral principle in criminal law and international criminal law that a person cannot or should not face criminal punishment except for an act that was criminalized by law before he/she performed the act. Subtler versions of this principle require crimes to be declared in unambiguous statutory text.
Some scholars make a distinction between substantive and procedural law in the context of nullum crimen sine lege.[1] On this view, a change in substantive law leading to liability must occur before the act is committed, but a change in procedural law leading to liability may occur after the act is committed. For example, extending the statute of limitations to allow the prosecution of crimes that occurred far in the past would constitute a change in procedural law.
The notion of nullum crimen sine lege has been relatively important in the context of international criminal law. The acts punished by the international criminal tribunals were of ambiguous legality in the conflict or atrocity situations in which they were committed.
Nullum crimen sine lege is sometimes called the legality principle. Another formulation is "nullum poena sine lege" ("no punishment without law").

How To Make a Raw Felt Headboard
We've been in need of a headboard since we moved in over two years ago, but I had always wanted to build my own. My first attempt was a simple painted headboard, which was nice visually, but ineffective as a real headboard. I finally decided to buy one large piece of dark grey industrial wool felt and use that alone. I like the industrial chic, raw material feeling of felt and knew that the room needed a dark contrast against the light wall. Here's how I did it.
Outside of measuring and ordering the felt, this is a super easy how to and perhaps shouldn't even be considered a full one, BUT it's at least a half of one. The headboard is amazing and has totally transformed our room in terms of warmth, sound dampening, behind-the-head softness and aesthetics. I am currently working on ideas for covering it with fabric seasonally, so that it changes a bit (it's easy to tuck fabric behind the felt).
Note: I ordered the thickest size, one inch, which is the most expensive, and you could certainly do a thinner size and save a lot of money.
What You Need
- 1 Piece of F3 industrial felt cut to size. Since it comes in widths off of the roll of 60" and 72", I had them cut about 3' off of a 72" wide roll and there was no waste.
- I ordered from Sutherland Felt, and they've always been really nice there.
- Tape to hold it up
- Drill with screw bit
- Nice screws (you'll see these a little bit. I chose some shiny, stainless steel screws)
1. Measure your headboard. Use any favorite headboards as a guide, and extend as far down to the floor as you can. I think it makes a difference.
2. Order your felt and wait.
3. Work hard to get your felt into your apartment once delivered (it's very heavy), unroll and tape into position.
4. Secure with screws evenly spaced and sent directly into the wall. I didn't drill holes and insert plugs, but I will now that I've already created holes and gone through the felt. It is sturdier with plugs.

As Scott noted earlier today, "Chuck Hagel has earned the endorsement of Patrick Buchanan" (emphasis added). Scott's daughter Eliana Johnson, an invaluable recent addition to the blogosphere, reminds us that Buchanan's anti-Israel utterances in connection with the Gulf War caused William F. Buckley to write:
I find it impossible to defend Pat Buchanan against the charge that what he did and said during the period under examination amounted to anti-Semitism, whatever it was that drove him to say and do it: most probably, an iconoclastic temperament.
Some believe that Hagel's reference to a "Jewish lobby" similarly amounts to anti-Semitism, whatever drove him to utter it. I don't consider the case against Hagel as strong as the one against Buchanan, and therefore I'm not inclined to allege anti-Semitism on the part of the former Nebraska Senator.
But it is reasonable to ask, as Ron Radosh does, "why is a known anti-Semite like Buchanan endorsing Hagel?"
