40 FEMINIST FEASTS: Challenging you to support CRIAW-ICREF!
Let's keep the momentum of the women's march going! CRIAW-ICREF is celebrating its 40th anniversary as a Canadian, national, feminist research institute that cares about women and intersecting issues of equality. If you believe in the goals of the women's march then chances are you support the goals of CRIAW. In order to keep doing our work we need members and funding and here's how you can help out.
We'd like to have 40 feminist feasts held in the months of February and March all across Canada. You can volunteer to organize one with your friends. The idea is to bring 40 (or so) women together with food. In Saskatoon for example, on March 10, we're inviting 40 women who support CRIAW and feminism to come together for a feast – each will pay $40 (some might pay $80 and subsidize women who can't pay $40) and this will pay costs (if any) and go directly to CRIAW. The Saskatoon event will also include a silent auction to raise a few more funds (again, the options for ideas are yours). Because CRIAW-ICREF has tax deductible status we can issue tax receipts for donations over $25. We'll also make sure that membership forms are available, as we'd like all women who attend to become active members.
If you're a host, you decide how you want to organize this. Potlucks, collective cooking, catering are all options you can consider. If you want to discuss an idea, give us a call or email firstname.lastname@example.com CRIAW can also supply a few hand-outs and membership forms. We hope your event will bring members and funding to CRIW-ICREF and solidarity and friendship for the women who attend. And by the way, CRIAW will assist with advertising locations of feasts (on our web-site http://www.criaw-icref.ca/en/ and facebook site) and with thank-you comments.
If you're in the Saskatoon area and would like to participate in the feminist feast please contact us at email@example.com
Thanks for sharing this idea. Sharing is in itself a form of solidarity.

I had a very productive weekend in the studio. My Art Maui entry is coming together and I had time to make (and finish!) two more gift quilts.
I started quilting 20 years ago and my first project was a Dresden Plate wall hanging. I'm proud of my roots in traditional quilting, since it's through these quilts that I honed my skills as a quilt maker. I'm happy to have that "toolbox" of skills to fall back on when I need them.
Baby quilt #2 using the disappearing nine patch pattern. I love that pattern for quick and easy quilts.
As I was cutting up various pieces for this quilt I was left with some very small scraps, including some strips that were only 1" wide. Since I couldn't bear to throw them out (another traditional quilter value!), I decided to whip up a little doll quilt for the baby's sister, who just turned 4.
This mini log cabin is made with that assortment of 1" strips and just 12 simple blocks.
Although my art quilts have taken me down a completely different path, I still get a thrill when I see a beautifully made traditional quilt, especially an old antique. Doing these quick gift projects satisfies my "traditional" genes.
And speaking of scraps, here are some leftovers from a recent project:
And what does chicken wire have to do with quilts? Stay tuned and find out!

Nevada Desert Experience Annual SACRED PEACE WALK 2015
to the NEVADA NATIONAL SECURITY SITE, YUCCA MOUNTAIN & CREECH AIR FORCE BASE
The Annual 65-Mile Peace Walk begins this Sunday, March 29, 8:30 AM, at the Atomic Testing Museum, 755 E Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV.
A Powerful, 65-Mile Walking Meditation across the Mojave Desert, in the name of Peace. Responding to renewed calls to resume testing of nuclear weapons and to store high level nuclear waste and increased usage of drone assassinations, all at government facilities in Nevada, local peace activists will be joined by others from around the United States, Europe and Japan, for the Nevada Desert Experience's Sacred Peace Walk (S.P.W.). Many of those walking are Buddhist Monks and Nuns from Japan, and are including the SPW as a leg of their own walk from San Francisco to the United Nations, in New York City, for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference taking place in May.
This 65-mile, annual pilgrimage to the Nevada National Security Site (formerly The Nevada Test Site/NTS) begins on March 28 with an orientation in Las Vegas. On March 29 (Palm Sunday) at 8:30 AM, the walkers will start their trek from the Atomic Testing Museum with a short program of prayer and song. By Tuesday evening, March 31, the walkers expect to be in Cactus Springs where they will be guests at the Temple of Goddess Spirituality. The next morning, April 1, the walkers will engage in a nonviolent protest at Creech Air Force Base. Later that day, they will join with members of the Western Shoshone Nation on the south side of Yucca Mountain to pray for the healing of the Earth. The SPW concludes on Good Friday as we greet the sunrise with the Western Shoshone, and then have a Good Friday liturgy and procession to the entrance to the Nevada Test Site later in the morning.

Mr Blizzard Snowman...
*His head is hand sculpted from a mix of paper and stone clay. I don't use any molds so each and every face is special and unique.
*His facial features are all hand painted and shaded, his nose and head are all one piece ( his nose isn't attached 'separetly' ) therefore it is sturdy and securely attached!
*Mr Blizzards body is made from a vintage style label that is printed on muslin. His arms are made from muslin and are hand painted white. They are wired so they are bendable and can be gently posed.
*He wears a black felt scarf and matching top hat. His top hat is decorated with some wintery stems on the brim, and popping out the top of his hat are snowy wintery stems! Hand painted white tin snowflakes have been attached here and there on the wintery stems for added whimsy!
*He holds a hand painted rusty bell,it's been painted black, then sanded lightly t allow some rusty color to show through, little tiny white snowflakes have been painted on.
* Mr Blizzard stands perfectly on his little hand painted black wood base.
* To the top of his black top hat is 11", then an additional 2" for the white snowy branches sticking out the top
I have kept him in all shades of black, white and gray and I love the look! He is even cuter in person, photos don't do him justice :-)

It's not available outside of America, but rather than just being left to feel excluded and ignored as we non-Yanks are by every other company/site out there, Adult Swim were considerate enough to put an apologetic (and funny) acknowledgement of the fact that "it sucks, we know" on there.<p>The sheer amount of promotional material that is being restricted to the US these days still completely baffles me (why on Earth should it matter?), but at least these guys have shown some courtesy about it.

Where am I wrong here? The US of A need not take these refugees in because they are no longer in the country they are fleeing and are no longer in need of saving. They are in Mexico. Why do we have to save them from Mexico? Mexico let em in...let them deal with it.
Caravan of Illegals
Barack Hussein Obama told the border patrol to catch and release alien criminals into our country. This is not a law. It is a Barack Hussein Obama practice. Congress never voted to allow unfettered invasion of our country. The border patrol does not understand that there is a new president n the White House.
Our military will follow orders. They can turn back invaders. Simple as that.
I see this as a giant political "triple dog dare ya." The first act in a giant drama setting up the coming election.
We must stop them! Otherwise, they will take advantage of DACA!
According to the fake news and Fox, this caravan of illegals has been invading America every year for at least the last 5 years. Anybody hear about this? Anybody know about this? Is this an OBOZO anti-white America move that was covered up by the 5th Column? Maybe I just missed it. Thanks Donald for fxing onemoroe OBOZO disaster.
I heard their "demands" quoted on radio mid-day, and their assertion that they are "just as much citizens of the country they are in as any residents of those countries are."
Talk about wanting to P.O. the Pope, that does it for me. Not to mention having balls bigger than their heads.
Better an illegal who risks her life to "invade" the US to clean motel rooms and pay taxes in Westbrook than a legal who wastes his life cooking meth and eating government cheese in Bingham.
Probably they wouldn't come if we still gave "government cheese" out.
The gifts today are better and those "cooking" are using the same gifts to rot their teeth out that to support their addiction
to better things.
Of course it would be a lot better if they were both doing something legal.
I still have seen no evidence that illegals pay income tax. They have an SSN? Really?
Ya, Toolsmith.
Someone else's.
And they're not using that stolen SSN to pay taxes... they're using the stolen SSN to steal refunds!
And maybe to go on disability for life.
WPO newspaper reporting caravan ending in Mexico city.
Head fake?
The quotes from Dems in this one are priceless...
Amazing how much has changed...
You dimwits should do some research. You actually think all illegals are getting paid under the table? That, for example, after the Swift meat processing plant hires them, they're giving them a wad of cash on payday? Look up ITIN, dummies. They're not using fake SS numbers in order to get someone else's benefits. Lol.
The fact is that the majority of illegals pay income tax and SS taxes that they'll never cash in on themselves.
Odd how you would know that, since they all "live in the shadows."
Or are you one of them, and simply defending yourself?
Submitting a tax return is not the same as "paying taxes." Especially in the age of the EIC.
Obviously, payroll deductions and Social Security are baffling to Mattybubbles.
But... he almost got the narrative right.
I wonder how many, including illegals, get an ITIN and/or SSN just to file a tax return to claim the EIC. That's not "paying", of course, but some wouldn't know that...
And yes, I'm pretty sure the day laborers - many illegals, but not all - who I see getting picked up at certain city locations are indeed being paid under the table.
It has been estimated that fully 19% of all income in Maine is under the table. Its a tradition in these here parts, don't cha know.
Better an illegal who risks her life to "invade" the US to clean motel rooms and pay taxes in Westbrook than a legal who wastes his life cooking meth and eating government cheese in Bingham..or some asshole who trolls AMG
If referring to me that is Mr. Asshole !
Bruce you are AMG, how could you troll it? ; )
Just checking Mike G .
Thank you for compliment but other voices seem to becoming prominent.

The Australian Fencing Federation
Invites you to Sponsor the
Australian Fencing Team
The Australian Fencing Federation invites you and/or your business to participate in supporting the Australian Fencing Team to attend major International Events.
Fencing is an Olympic sport contested by both men and women, young and old. It consists of three distinct disciplines, each involving a specific weapon: foil, epeé, and sabre. The AFF High Performance Program supports the Australian Fencing Team in Mens and Womens Epee, Foil, and Sabre.
Fencing is both fast and furious, involving cunning and precision. It is entertaining to watch and always exciting.
Fencing utilises electric circuitry in the scoring of "hits" that register on an electronic scoreboard visible to the viewing public. The target area on each fencer as well as the weapon itself forms part of the electric circuit. The raised metal platform upon which the bout is conducted is called a 'pisté', completing the electronic circuit.
The sport of Fencing receives very little in the way of Government funding and the capacity of our athletes to compete in overseas events is highly dependent upon the generosity of both individuals and businesses alike.
Your contribution will be greatly valued and used to ensure our fencers can attend these exciting competitions and to nurture within our fencers the sense of reward and achievement that comes from representing Australia in an international competition. For an example of one our AFT athletes, see this link.
The cost to be met by each athlete on the HPP is estimated to be over $5,000 per year.

Not Bad
At first, I would only ask for things in English, as I literally did not know what many of the things were called. Then I would try speaking in Dutch--and then people would still reply in English, because apparently my attempts at the local language were that pathetic. But eventually I got better at making the funny noises involved in speaking Dutch, and people began replying to me in Dutch as well.
Yesterday I went to the Saturday market to get some chantarelle mushrooms and goats-milk cheese to try out a new (and expensive!) recipe. The nice mushroom lady gave me the cantarellen en roze oosterzwammen that I asked for, and then I went to the herb stand for some salie en vers knoflook. So far so good. Then to the cheese stand.
The problem with such stands is that their selection is limited, but I did see one cheese that I might have liked. So I asked to try a slice, to be sure of its taste, and the cheese man obligingly cut me a slice. It was vaguely reminiscent of the cheese I'd had at the Chateux Neercanne, not quite as sharp, but as close as I was likely to get for a price I could afford. By far the most exciting part of the whole thing is, when you've decided which cheese you want, the cheese man takes this huge curved blade with a handle on either end and cuts you off a hunk (what can I say, I like sharp objects).
I was on the verge of asking the cheese man, "Mag ik een stukje hebben?" when he told me, in English, "It's sheep milk cheese. It comes from a sheep."
Now, I fully realize that I will probably never speak Dutch like a native--I will probably always have some kind of weird accent; Amsterdammers will probably think I come from Limburg, Limburgians will probably think I come from Friesland, etc. I don't care about that. But I'd like to think that, after 3 years, my Dutch isn't all that bad.
2 comments:
It sounds to me like your Dutch is quite good if you can do that after three years.ReplyDelete
Dutch people just think they are being helpful by switching to English even though that is not really the case.
It is possible to make Dutch people think you are Dutch but they might not able to place your accent (always thinking you are from another part of Holland). I have a British friend who has been here for 10 years and that happens to him.
@ Stu: Dutch people just think they are being helpful by switching to EnglishReplyDelete
I have one coworker who insists on speaking to me in English, even though her English is really bad (and my parents were ESLers, and I used to work in labs where nobody spoke English, so when I say someone's English is bad, it's BAD). I'm not quite sure how to dissuade her.

Adult-Size: Nike Team Legend Long-Sleeve Crew T-Shirt - Black
The Nike Legend Long Sleeve Poly Men's Top is the ideal top for a variety of different training conditions. It makes a great base layer for colder training sessions; on the other hand, it's perfect for spring or fall training sessions (by wearing it by itself).
This top is made with Dri-FIT This fabric is designed to specifically target and wick sweat away from your body, then push it to the surface of the shirt where it can then evaporate at an incredibly rapid rate. This type of fabric (Dri-FIT) also acts as a type of ventilation system as well. So altogether, the Dri-FIT fabric will not only keep you dry and at a comfortable temperature, but it will also keep you cool while you dominate the game.
Since this top is long sleeved it is incredibly versatile and can be worn for a variety of training conditions. Like mentioned before, it makes a great base layer for cold training sessions, but it also is perfect to wear by itself, especially for weight training. The long sleeve construction adds more coverage than a sleeveless top or even a short sleeve shirt would, making it a better top to train in during spring and fall session.
Overall, for any serious athlete looking for a great training top, this is what you want. The Dri-FIT fabric will keep you cool, comfortable, and dry, while the long sleeve construction and neck tape will allow you to move without any restriction and make the top last much longer. The Nike Swoosh design trademark is located at the left chest to represent the superior quality of the Nike Legend Long Sleeve Poly Men's Top.

Our history
The ZIESCHE Kolleg was founded by Bernd Ziesche and Christoph Knorr as a language school for German as foreign language in 1996. The success of the past 17 years is based on a method that has not been changed since the early beginnings.
We try to teach German on a simple but effective way with a special focus on verbal communication. Therefore we use sounds, photos and film sequences to support the student in practical situations, challenge him and finally provoke him to correct speaking and writing. We constantly work on new content to assist the student with a well structured elearning platform, including videos and documents that use all the potentials of the world wide web.
We follow the philosophy that education should be free of charge for everyone. That is, we use all the possibilities of the Web 2.0 to establish a free elearning platform for the German language, not only in Germany, nor only in Europe but worldwide. To achieve our vision we created several thousand video lessons so far with the number growing day by day.
The current team
Bernd Ziesche is the founder and visioneer at ZIESCHE Kolleg. Most of the videos are based on his ideas, materials and long-term experiences. Providing this platform for free access to the German language his is life-time project.
Robert Orzanna, Bernd Ziesche's son, sustainability practitioner and passionate world traveller tries to establish strong bindings between the community and his father. He coordinates partnerships and maintains the infrastructure. If you want to know something apart from the learning content, then ask him.
Prior contribution
Different people supported our work in many ways. We would like to thank especially Philipp Manz, Marco Feuchter and Laial Shamas for their contribution to some of our best videos.

It's a bit unfair, after years of waiting and anticipation and with a world of expectation weighing on the film, to begin writing a review of Terrence Malick's "The Tree Of Life" just minutes after leaving the screening this morning. With nearly as much time spent in line waiting to get in as watching the actual film, we would have preferred a bit more of a chance to let it linger and marinate (and perhaps more thoughts will follow in the coming days). But let's get a couple of things out of the way to start with. Firstly, "The Tree Of Life" is not the cinema-changing, soul-shattering masterpiece it has been built up into. That said, it's a hugely ambitious and occasionally brilliant undertaking that finds the director using the story of a fractured relationship between a father and his children to ask the question of ages: where is God? And oh yeah, if you'd prefer to go into the film without knowing anything at all about it, you'd do best to skip reading from this point on.
As the trailer suggests, the film is about the two paths that Malick believes are presented to us in life: the way of nature vs. the way of the grace. To call it good versus evil would be a bit too reductive; it's more about living a life of selfishness with a focus on Earthly ambitions as opposed to one filled with love and generosity to your family and fellow man. These two paths are embodied by Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien (yes, a bastardly Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain), who are married and raising their three sons in 1950s Waco, Texas. Pitt believes in the way of nature. He's a man whose dreams of being a musician were abandoned and who is embittered by the success of others. He continues to work hard, go to church and tithe his earnings but believes he has been unrewarded, and tells his older son Jack very simply, "If you want to succeed in this world, you can't be too good." On the opposite send of the spectrum is Chastain whose character, again as revealed in the trailers, very simply states, "Unless you love, your life will flash by." Mrs. O'Brien tells her children to look after each other and every other creature on Earth.
When the film opens, the O'Briens are suffering the loss of their middle child, receiving a telegram that he has died at the tender age of nineteen. Mrs. O'Brien is devastated asking, "Lord why? Where were you?" Malick uses this moment of death to circle back to the origins of the universe. While the loss of the child is monumental, Malick mourns that pain but also wants us to see the glory of the world that is around us and how little we are in the grand scope of things. This sequence — which runs in the first third of the film and undoubtedly made some distributors nervous — is an entirely wordless, evocative, music-filled and beautifully realized piece of filmmaking. We presume this was all footage compiled for the proposed "Voyage Of Time" documentary (and we hope it still happens because it will look even more stunning in IMAX) but it organically tracks life on Earth from the big bang, from single to multiple celled organisms, and then, yes, to dinosaurs, all while stretching back to reveal the glory and diversity of the world that has been created. It should be noted, that a small amount of the material is taken from stock footage and excerpted from the film "Home" by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, but the cumulative power of it is undeniable. And the work by the extensive special effects team (and researchers) tasked with imagining what space and the world might have looked like eons ago is tremendously impressive.
One we return to the characters, we start with the birth of Jack (played as a grown up by Sean Penn whose total time in the film is maybe about twenty minutes). Again, Malick forgoes a traditional narrative and uses a collection of impressionistic images and music to show the growth of this son, and the arrival of two more, and about forty-five minutes in, the more traditional "plot" finally begins to unwind. The middle section of "The Tree Of Life" centers particularly on the father's troubled relationship with his sons. He loves them deeply, but projects his own failed ambitions onto them, wanting to mould them into men that won't flinch at the world. Jack is especially a focus of his father's anger and hard love, and through a great performance by newcomer Hunter McCracken, we see him struggle with following his father's advice or embracing the world with the wonder and faith of his mother.
"Are you watching me? I want to know what you are. I want to see what you see," says Jack, and that plea, to a God who has created the world but seemingly left us here to figure it all out, permeates "The Tree Of Life." Young men are disabled, children die or are maimed and arguments and anger abound behind the windows of the idyllic homes of the suburbs. While the film may seem at times like an agnostic's argument about whether God is watching us or if there is even somebody there at all, the thematic core is more about struggling to understand why pain and suffering is brought upon the graceful of this world. Make no mistake, Malick certainly believes in a higher power, and that firm and clearly stated belief may be too much for some viewers.
The score is filled with hymns and religious pieces (it should be noted, Alexandre Desplat's compositions seem to be used fairly minimally) and the closing sequence of the film has "Amen" ringing out multiple times from Berlioz's "Agnus Dei." Indeed, the film's overt solemnity gives the proceedings a sermon-like feel that can drag at times, evoking the feeling of a Sunday church service. It certainly doesn't help that the extensive voiceovers from Mrs. O'Brien, and Jack both younger and older, are delivered in profound-sounding stage whispers which make the spiritual dialogue sound leaden, precious and pretentious: a subtler hand at times certainly would've helped. While Malick is great at extracting layers of mood and meaning out of a single shot, at other moments, the script and dialogue lands with blunt, hammer-like force. The details used to underline Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien's differing perspectives on how to engage the world are at times presented with head-smacking obviousness: the missus gives water to thirsty criminals (really!); Dad teaches his children to be tough by getting them to hit him. This boldfacing of the thematic elements of the film is clumsy at best and in a picture that spends large swaths asking the audience to interpret, imagine and engage, it seems counter-intuitive.
The movie world is a fickle one. With "The Tree Of Life" now screened and appraised, in a few hours everyone will move on and by tomorrow it will be just another story from Cannes. Another entry that got talked about, perhaps divided some audience members (a small core booed the film, but they were quickly quieted by the rest of the Lumiere Theater) and got Brad Pitt onto the red carpet. The sun will set tonight and the great wait for and mystery surrounding Malick's film will be over. But bursting with ideas, images, sounds and a deep well of spirituality rarely ever tackled in either independent or mainstream cinema, Malick's film is still an event. With "The Tree Of Life" the director has once again created a cinematic experience that is uniquely his own, often powerful and mesmerizing, at times overreaching and overbearing, but never forgettable. It's another bold stroke from one of cinema's most original voices, so put the hype aside, and let "The Tree Of Life" take root. [B]

Rigasumi's Biosphere World Generator Minecraft Mod
Are you tired of typical Minecraft worlds that look just like planet earth? Wish you could play in a series of interconnected biospheres, much like ant farm? Well Rigasumi, modder extraordinaire has made all your Minecraft dreams come true with the Biosphere World Generator Mod. In this Minecraft mod, the usual Minecraft world is replaced with glass encased biospheres connected to one another by wooden bridges. Epic is a word that comes to mind, and unlike most things described as epic these days, this mod truly is worthy of the moniker.
I play tested this mod in order to check that it was truly as awesome as it was made out to be and believe me, it is. Installation was also pleasantly hassle free. Just download the mod, extract it, and toss the class files into the minecraft.jar. Then start Minecraft up, generate a new world and you should find yourself standing under an impressive glass dome.
Each dome is limited to one biome, which make sense, and you can travel between them fairly easily along the wooden bridges. Small 'satellite' spheres can be seen floating around near the main biospheres, and these satellites contain precious minerals and ores, like the diamond that can be seen glinting so preciously in the distance of the screenshot.
What's so truly impressive about this mod is the way it takes the traditional Minecraft paradigm of an endless world of mountains and hills and creates a whole new experience for the player. Looking over the edge (if you break the fences) is a daunting affair, there's nothing but deep blue down there. What happens if you fall into the void? Well you get a pretty super view of the spheres above you disappearing into the distance and then you appear to catch on fire or something similar and you're respawned at your original spawn point.
Not every biome is a success. Take this lush forest biome for instance. It would have been all well and good apart from the lava lake spawned right in the middle of it, which started a forest fire almost immediately and destroyed the precious wood that grew there.
Ironically, my first instinct was to build grass plains between some of the biomes, creating pastures in the sky on which to farm and live. After all, who really wants to be separated from the endless void by glass?
This is the most amazing Minecraft mod since biome terrain mod, and I highly recommend downloading it and giving it a try. If you regret it, you have a very low regret threshold. (Though it goes without saying that you should back up your saves before installing this if you care about them at all.)

Bolts Represent Formative Clubs/
Players sport junior and college jerseys on road trip
Hey look! A reason for me to write about the Tampa Bay Lightning! The team posted a Facebook photo on Monday morning that any Icethetics reader should love.
The Bolts assembled for this week's west coast road trip, each sporting the jersey of their junior or college level team. It made for an amazing photo and I'd love to see other teams do this. (Although maybe they have and I wasn't paying attention because they weren't the Lightning.)
If my homerism is showing a little today, I hope you can understand. The Lightning are visiting Vancouver (my nearest NHL city) this week for the first time since December 2010. And it'll be the first time I get to see my team in person since January 2012 (weirdly, that game was also against the Canucks). Thank goodness for realignment!
By the way, I've got a lot of great blog post plans in the pipeline, but expect a bit of a lull through the first couple weeks of January as I use up some of my much-needed vacation time. I anticipate JerseyWatch 2014 will debut by the end of the month!

27th March 1994 – Interlagos
In the 1990s, grand prix seasons traditionally opened with the event at Interlagos, and the first race of the 1994 season was an action-packed affair in which only twelve cars survived to meet the chequered flag.
After a fourth place finish the previous year, future F1 legend Michael Schumacher was one of the favourites to fill the void left by champion Alain Prost, who had made a comeback in 1993 and romped to the world championship before retiring for good. Alongside Benetton-Ford debutant, 22-year old Dutch driver Jos Verstappen, Michael Schumacher was a renewed force over a weekend that was to be an indication of days to come.
The entire weekend was beset by heavy rain, ensuring that drivers were forced to negotiate treacherous conditions during qualifying. Saturday's round of qualifiers was undertaken haphazardly due to the rain, but Ayrton Senna showed his quality and experience to claim pole position ahead of Schumacher.
The race began, as expected, with Senna dominating the early stretches, opening up a lead of 4 seconds. Meanwhile, Schumacher battled with Jean Alesi for second place.
In the run up to lap 20, the gap between Schumacher and Senna was gradually closing, and the warring duo were neck and neck as they both pitted. Though utilising similar fuel strategies, Benetton were quicker from the restart, allowing Schumacher to take the lead at a vital moment.
Schumacher's lead soon extended to an unassailable 10 seconds after the next pit stop, and the German maestro even managed to lap third-placed Damon Hill. In the true fashion of an F1 hero, Senna would not be defeated without a fight, and he halved that gap as the race came to a close. But there was one final twist, Senna retired from the race after losing control of his car and spinning off the circuit.
As a result of Senna's retirement, Schumacher won with consummate ease, comfortably ahead of Damon Hill (2nd) and Jean Alesi (3rd).
The 1994 season was overshadowed by the death of Ayrton Senna at Imola on May 1st. With the world of motorsport in mourning for the remainder of the season, Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill produced a championship duel that was a fitting tribute, with the German winning his first world title by a single point.

Where have I heard this before?
That's right, every single NFL post-season since Noah was trying to tick off "two emus" from his list!
Though this time I think it's for real. Maybe.
Thusly, I'm not getting all nostalgic. I've already done that at the end of last season and what did that get me — Favre ended up at the Jets of all places, giving them a shot last season at spoiling the Pats (which they did by losing the last game of the season to Miami)!
Great QB, all those records, blah blah blah. Unfortunately with all the head-fakes, my football-loving heart is ready to simply say "Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya" and leave it at that. Maybe in the Fall when he's behind a microphone after Opening Day kick-offs will I reignite my nostalgia for such a great player.

FAA Is Completely Confused About What Constitutes Commercial Drone Use
March 20th, 2015
Faine Greenwood over at Slate.com has a great article on the FAA's harassment of Jayson Hanes in Tampa (that I reported last week) and Steve Girard in Portland. These two cases illustrate the confusion around what does and doesn't constitute commercial UAV usage in the US.
The article concludes that:
It's not at all certain that the agency has any intention of backing up these threats. As of this writing, the FAA has yet to actually prosecute anyone for commercial usage of a UAV—and some, such as Connecticut attorney Peter Sachs, argue that until the FAA's proposed voluntary guidelines on UAV usage become final, there are no actually enforceable laws at all.
The two cases outlined in the article are both hobbyists that the FAA has accused as operating commercially but there is not much confusion about whether shooting real estate is commercial. My general feeling is the FAA is just harassing people that are flying to try to keep flying UAVs a minimum until the guidelines become law because they realize as Peter says, "there are no actually enforceable laws."
Update 3/21/2015: Be sure to read Craig's awesome story below. Craig's story confirms my gut feelings that I have on this issue. Thanks Craig for passing it along.

Brinsley Schwarz - Brinsley Schwarz + Despite It All (1970)"Pub rock, the English roots rock movement of the early '70s, would never have earned a cult following if it wasn't for Brinsley Schwarz. Initially, Brinsley Schwarz was a rambling, neo-psychedelic folk-rock band that borrowed heavily from Crosby, Stills & Nash and the Grateful Dead. Following a disastrous publicity stunt to promote its debut album, the band went into seclusion outside of London and developed a laid-back, rootsy sound inspired by Eggs Over Easy, an American band that had been playing a mixture of originals and covers in English pubs. Following their conversion to pub rock, the Brinsleys ditched their pretensions of stardom and became a down to earth, self-effacing rock & roll band. Between 1971 and 1974, Brinsley Schwarz toured England innumerable times, playing pubs across the country. Along the way, they established a circuit for similar bands like Dr. Feelgood and Ducks Deluxe to follow. Though the group was nominally guitarist Brinsley Schwarz's band, bassist/lead vocalist Nick Lowe provided the bulk of the group's songs. Lowe developed a distinctive songwriting voice -- conversational, melodic, offbeat, and funny -- and the band was infused with his skewed sense of humor. Despite strong reviews and a dedicated fan base, the Brinsleys never managed to escape cult status, yet they influenced a legion of other artists, creating an underground, back-to-basics movement that laid the foundation for punk rock.
Brinsley Schwarz didn't plan to start a grassroots movement -- the bandmembers wanted to be stars. Lowe and Schwarz had already spent several years in Kippington Lodge, a Tunbridge Wells-based guitar pop group that released five singles on Parlophone during the mid-'60s to no success. By 1968, the members of Kippington Lodge were beginning to feel restless with their straight-ahead pop/rock and were eager to explore psychedelia. Keyboardist Bob Andrews joined the band later that year and drummer Billy Rankin came aboard in the fall of 1969. By that time, Kippington Lodge had completely revamped its musical style, evolving into a folk-rock band with psychedelic pretensions and appropriately changing its name to Brinsley Schwarz after the group's lead guitarist. Ironically, it was around this time that Lowe became the band's lead singer and primary songwriter.
Within a few months, Brinsley Schwarz had come to the attention of Dave Robinson, a fledging rock & roll manager who had founded the Famepushers Agency. Robinson developed a complex scheme to elevate Brinsley Schwarz to stardom. According to his plan, the Brinsleys would play an opening set for Van Morrison at the Fillmore East in New York in the spring of 1970, and he would fly all of the leading rock journalists to America to review the show. Late in 1969, Brinsley Schwarz signed a record contract with United Artists, and the band financed the publicity stunt with its advance. The group planned to leave a few days before the show in order to rehearse, but the Brinsleys were denied visas on a technicality. They were finally given visas on the morning of the show, and arrived in New York hours before the concert. Back in Britain, the journalists ran into trouble, as their plane developed a mechanical fault, delaying the flight for four hours. When the journalists arrived at the Fillmore 18 hours later, they were either drunk or hung over. When Brinsley Schwarz finally hit the stage, the band gave a competent but underwhelming performance, setting the stage for a flood of scathing reviews for both the concert and the eponymously titled debut album, which appeared weeks after the showcase.
Reeling from the Fillmore fiasco, the group rented a house outside of London and spent days and nights playing music. By the end of 1970, the Brinsleys released a second album, Despite It All, which indicated that they were evolving into a country-rock outfit; guitarist/vocalist Ian Gomm joined the band at the end of the sessions for the record. For much of 1971, Brinsley Schwarz rehearsed, developing a blend of country, folk, R&B, and rock & roll that was largely inspired by the Byrds, Van Morrison, and the Band, as well as Eggs Over Easy, which the group met at the Tally Ho pub in Kentish Town. Silver Pistol, released early in 1972, demonstrated a new versatility, but the group truly flexed its muscles in concert, particularly during regular concerts at the Tally Ho. Soon, they had built a small but loyal following, and a number of likeminded bands began playing the same circuit. Eventually, this grassroots phenomenon came to the attention of the U.K. press, which dubbed the groups' style as "pub rock" and proclaimed Brinsley Schwarz as the style's leaders."

In July 2017, the World Bank released three methodological working papers discussing the challenges of measuring key areas of women's empowerment, including time use, women's agency, and ownership, control, and use of assets. This blog highlights one of these papers, "Measuring time use in development settings," written by A4NH researchers Greg Seymour, Hazel Malapit, and Agnes Quisumbing.
Research shows that involving women in agriculture can improve household nutrition. When they are involved in farming, women have more control over food and income, which they are more likely than men to use to feed their families. However, if women spend more time on agriculture, they may have less time for tasks like preparing food, caring for children, and hygiene, which are also important for their families' health and nutrition. So, successful nutrition-sensitive agricultural interventions must carefully consider both women's and men's time use.Having time to earn income and care for oneself and one's family is essential for improving well-being. However, work is often not split evenly between men and women. Women tend to do domestic work like household chores and child care, while men tend to take on income-generating activities. In fact, a 2010 UN report found that, around the world, women spend at least twice as much time as men on domestic tasks and, accounting for both paid and unpaid labor, spend more time working overall than men. This time burden can hurt women by limiting their access to paid work and education, as well as time for leisure, self-care, and social activities.
Unfortunately, measuring time use is not easy. In their paper, "Measuring time use in development settings," Greg Seymour, Hazel Malapit, and Agnes Quisumbing discuss the challenges of feasibly and accurately measuring time use in developing countries. They use data from Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) surveys in Bangladesh and Uganda to compare the most commonly used methods of data collection.

LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 18138 / May 14, 2003
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. DIAGNOSTIC PROFESSIONAL IMAGING SERVICES, INC., et.al., 00 Civ. 4386 (NRB) (S.D.N.Y.)
On February 27, 2003, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered Final Consent Judgments against defendants Justin Marvul ("Marvul"), Michael Danilovich ("Danilovich"), James "Gennedy" Gaberkorn ("Gaberkorn"), Vadim "Steven" Shapiro ("Shapiro") and Arthur Prakopets ("Prakopets"). The judgments permanently enjoin Marvul, Danilovich, Gaberkorn and Shapiro from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), and permanently enjoin Marvul, Danilovich, Gaberkorn, Shaprio and Prakopets from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. As to Marvul and Danilovich, the judgments permanently enjoin them from acting as an officer or director of a public company. As to Shapiro, the judgment orders him to pay a civil penalty of $10,000 plus $2,349.47 in post-judgment interest. Prakopets was ordered to pay a civil penalty of $5,000.
The Commission's complaint, filed on June 14, 2000, alleged that between March 1998 and October 1998, Marvul, Danilovich, Gaberkorn and Shapiro conducted a fraudulent offering of securities issued by defendant Diagnostic Professional Imaging Services, Inc. ("Diagnostic"), a magnetic resonance imaging company located in Brooklyn, New York. The complaint alleges that Marvul, Danilovich, Gaberkorn and Shapiro, directly and indirectly, made material misrepresentations to investors concerning Diagnostic's business prospects, plans for an initial public offering, and anticipated use of offering proceeds. These representations were false because Diagnostic was a start up company with no prospects for a public offering and the offering proceeds were misappropriated for the defendants' benefit.
In a parallel criminal case brought by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, Marvul was sentenced to 46 months incarceration and ordered to pay restitution of $1,540,600, of which $560,500 is related to the Diagnostic fraud. Danilovich was sentenced to 30 months incarceration and ordered to pay restitution of $560,500, and Gaberkorn was sentenced to 18 months incarceration and ordered to pay restitution of $250,000. Shapiro was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to pay $25,000 in restitution.
The Commission's complaint also alleges that Prakopets and Direct Surgical Supplies, Ltd. ("Direct Surgical") aided and abetted a fraudulent offering of Nationwide Medical Supplies, Ltd. ("Nationwide") common stock between March 1999 and October 1999 by acting as a vehicle for them to misappropriate investor funds.
On September 21, 2001, the court entered partial final default judgments against Diagnostic, Nationwide and Direct Surgical permanently enjoining them from future violations of the antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The partial final default judgments order Diagnostic, Nationwide and Direct Surgical to disgorge ill-gotten gains they received as a result of the violations alleged in the Commission's complaint, and pay prejudgment interest in an amount to be determined by the court at a later date. The partial final default judgments also order Diagnostic, Nationwide and Direct Surgical to pay civil penalties in an amount to be determined by the court at a later date.
The Commission continues to litigate the case against the other individual defendants.

Immediate Family
About John (Northumberland VA NOT Bath Co NC or New Kent Co VA) Aldridge
Notes from Pam Wilson, Arledge Family History Project (email@example.com):
Many researchers have confused and merged the identities of at least THREE distinct John Aldridges. This one is clearly the first, below--NOT the John who died in Bath County (wife Dorothy) in 1702 *nor* the John who died in New Kent Co, Virginia in 1720.
(1) This Northumberland County record likely refers to John ALDRIDGE son of Clement who was deceased by the date of the following document (4/15/1730). From "Apprentices of Virginia, 1623-1800":
ALDRIDGE, John
Master: Owens, William
Beginning date: 04/15/1730
Sex: male
Father: ALDRIDGE, John (deceased)
Source: Northumberland Co. Orders 1729-1737, 27
Northumberland Co.
Occupation: carpenter/joiner
Ending date: unspecified
Race: white
(2) Also, the church records of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co, VA, as posted on FTM's Genealogy Library, mention a John Aldridge dying in the parish on 16 April 1720. This is apparently a different John Aldridge.
(3) A John Aldridge left a will in Bath Co, NC in 1702. Wife Dorothy. Mentions "my dear children." [Source: Russ Henderson <firstname.lastname@example.com> query in Teri Allred newsletter, Summer 1993]. Says daughter Elizabeth Aldridge m. Edward Ward, Sr. and lived in Onslow Co, NC. Teri says both children married Wards.
Teri Allred wrote in Jan 1998:
This John Aldrige's will is found in Deed Book 1, page 49, Beaufort [actually Bath] County, NC, proved the first Tuesday, April 1702, house of Capt. Barrow. Wife: Dorothy Aldrige. My children, not named. Executor: Wife. Signed by mark.

To further confuse things:
(County not given) Aldridge, December 25, 1706. April 2, 1706. Wife and Executrix: Dorothy. Witnesses: Samuel Slocumb, Richard Smith, John Wilson. Clerk of Court, Levi Truewhitt.
Could the son of Clement and Elizabeth be the same John Aldridge as the one who married Dorothy Smith and lived in Beaufort Co, NC? Dates are similar, but some discrepancies. However, Teri Allred continued:
I do not think a case can be made that this #3 John Aldridge was the son of Clement of Northumberland. Check this out!

- As you can see, there was a John Aldridge in NC in 1686. He may be the one that died in 1702-1706. Looks like the will was read in Capt. Barrow's house in 1702 and then filed with the court in 1706.
Some of the information about the descendants of John Aldridge was provided by
Allen Dowdee Aldridge of Durham, North Carolina on the Arledge/Aldridge web page at http://www.tx3.com/~arledge on April 9, 1997.
From: "Frances Henderson" <email@example.com>
Subject: Aldridge/Ward - Onslow Co. N. C.
You may certainly forward this to anyone within your family research group who might be interested. I have a John Aldridge b. about 1671 in what is now Carteret Co., North Carolina (formerly Beaufort Precinct, Bath County). Died 1706, same place. His wife was Dorothy Somebody b. about 1675 in the same place. They were married about 1702. They had a daughter Elizabeth Aldridge b. July 23, 1703. Elizabeth married Edward Ward about 1718. Edward was b. March 22, 1693/94 and d. Sept 18, 1766. His parents were Edward Ward (1666 - 1713) and Elizabeth Elam (1670 - 1713). Miss Elam's parents were Gilbert, Sr. (1629 - 1696) and Ann Somebody (1629 - 1693). Her husband's parents were Richard Ward (1615 - 1682) and Elizabeth Somebody (1635 - 1682). Richard was the son of Seth Ward and Katherine Smith. He was b. 1590 and d. about 1677. Katherine was b. 1595. Elizabeth Aldridge Ward's grave marker reads, in part,
Ward, Elizabeth 07-23-1703 11-24-1767
Here lyes ye Body of Mrs. Elizabeth Ward, Relict of Col. Edward Ward by whom she had 15 children, 90 grandchildren & 14 great grandchildren…..in ye 65th year of her age
Her husband's marker reads, in part:
Ward, Edward 03-22-1694 09-18-1766
Here lyeth the Body of Colonel Edward Ward, Esq. Aged 72 years 5 months 15 days. He was one of ye First settlers and was wonded in ye first of ye Indian Wars yet he lived to have by his only wife Elizabeth 15 children which 15 has already produced for him 86 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren, in all 155 souls
There is a deed dated 15 Dec 1731 that shows Elizabeth as the wife of Edward and daughter of John Aldridge. I have a copy of it along with the wills of both Elizabeth and Edward. These wills are posted on the Onslow County GenWeb page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nconslow/wlcoleward.html for his. Hers is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nconslow/wleaward.html
Of the fifteen children mentioned I have 14 names : Edward , Jr. (b. c. 1719), Joseph (b. c. 1720), Benjamin (b. c. 1722), Enoch (b. c. 1723), Seth (b. 1725), Martha (b. c. 1726), Richard (b. c. 1728), Dorothy (b. c. 1729), Mary (b. c. 1731), Anne (b. c. 1732), another son (b. c. 1734), Elizabeth (b. c. 1735), Ruth (b. c. 1737), and Obedience (b. c. 1740). Don't know where # 15 fits in.
Edward had a brother Enoch who also had a ton of children. One of Ed's boys married one of Enoch's girls and one of Enoch's boys married one of Ed's girls. Kept the money and land in the family and these guys had a
lot of it. One of the many Edward's in this family got run out of Henrico Co. Virginia we presume he never returned. Haven't researched out the reason for his troubles, but he wasted no time gathering land and spending money when he reached Eastern North Carolina, most of which he and his family owned within a relatively short period of time!
I have a bunch of other stuff, but this is enough for you to figure out if this will be helpful to your Aldridge study.

What's a good substitute for tri tip?
A fatty sirloin may work . The Tri tip is marbled,usually,so , look for some thick sirloin cut with fat to keep it from drying out. Cooking it rare , too , helps to retain some moisture and flavor.
For what purpose? Grilling or oven roasting? If for sliced taco meat, then use flank steak, or I like the sirloin idea as well.
I live in Tri Tip country. On the East coast it might go under the name of triangle steak. Typically a tri tip weighs about 2 1/2 pounds. You cook it over real wood with minimal seasoning (salt and pepper). So to sub, look for a cut that is marbled and meets that size. Flank steak might work but it lacks the fattiness.

Microsoft to change its logo?
It has been noticed that the Microsoft logo on some of the company's accessories, including the Wedge Touch Mouse and Wedge Mobile Keyboard, looks slightly different than the company's regular emblem and has undergone slight modifications. The italic fonts and the cutout on the O are gone, while the modified logo features the Segoe UI font.

2009 GMC Sierra Hybrid: Gas-Electric Gets Tough
by KBB.com Editors | February 7, 2008 5:45 AM
Combining a 6.0-liter V8 engine, two electric motors and a "gearless" variable transmission, the Sierra Hybrid promises fuel economy improvements of 40 percent in city driving and 25 percent overall compared with gas-only models (which top out at 15 city/20 highway mpg). It can move on electric power alone at speeds up to 30 mph -- even while towing -- and shut down four of its eight cylinders while cruising. The Crew Cab-only pickup will be available with two- or four-wheel drive and feature max payload and towing capacities of 1,459 and 6,100 pounds, respectively. Look for it Fall 2008 at prices to be announced.

The Kings family has lived on Loosewood Island for three hundred years, blessed with the bounty of the sea. But for the Kings, this blessing comes with a curse: the loss of every firstborn son. Now, Woody Kings, the leader of the island's lobster fishing community and the family patriarch, teeters on the throne, and Cordelia, the oldest of Woody's three daughters, stands to inherit the crown. To do so, however, she must defend her island from meth dealers from the mainland while navigating sibling rivalry and the vulnerable nature of her own heart when she falls in love with her sternman.
Inspired by King Lear, The Lobster Kings is the story of Cordelia's struggle to maintain her island's way of life in the face of danger from offshore and the rich, looming, mythical legacy of her family's namesake.

Although there was little top growth in November, root development was extensive for all moisture treatments. Roots which developed under less favorable moisture conditions were finer and had more and longer branches. April samples revealed that the primary root system was in the process of decay. Living roots were generally confined to regions of moist soil. Total weight of roots was highest where nitrogen had been applied. June samples revealed roots to a depth of 13 feet where moisture conditions were favorable. There was evidence of moisture depletion to a depth of 8'.

Substance Abuse Counselor Opens New Center
By Space Coast Daily // April 30, 2012
BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FL– Angela Bozorth has been a substance abuse counselor here in Brevard County for over a decade, working with clients referred from Adult and Juvenile Drug Court, felony and misdemeanor probation, DUI traffic school and a host of other social service agencies. Recently, she opened her own practice to offer clients as well as other referral sources top-notch services.
"There are some great people working in the substance abuse field in this area and it's not for the money, it's because we really want to help those that are ready to be helped," said Bozorth. CHANGES RECOVERY SERVICES offers plenty of discreet parking in the rear of the building as well as being located directly on the SCAT public bus route. The business offers day, evening and weekend evaluations, sessions and classes at affordable prices.
CHANGES RECOVERY SERVICES is staffed with substance abuse counselors certified by the Florida Certification Board and are committed to using the latest evidence-based practice techniques. "These programs are really effective if the client is willing to commit to recovery," Bozorth added.
Conveniently located at 474 North Harbor City Blvd., Suite 3 Melbourne, FL 32935, CHANGES RECOVERY SERVICES provides a beautifully decorated new facility situated between the two causeways, handy for clients coming from beachside as well as Melbourne and Palm Bay which, unfortunately have the dubious distinction of ranking second in the nation when it comes to alcohol abuse.
Bozorth is convinced that there is a critical need in this area for the services provided by her business. "I want everybody to feel comfortable here. I offer individual sessions as well as groups that meet court-ordered standards. I also work with families of addicts." Beginning Saturday May 12, 2012 at 5 PM a Support Group will be open to family members whose lives have been devastated by a loved one's substance abuse problem.
Bozorth holds degrees in Legal Studies and Criminal Justice Administration, is a Certified Criminal Justice Addiction Professional (Florida Certification Board #271) and a member of the American Counseling Association and the National Shoplifting Prevention Coalition.

Chihuly Exhibition
Recently returned from a steamy, but sweet vacation on the coast of Maine in Ogunquit. Visited the Ogunquit Museum of American Art where we saw two small, but lovely, exhibitions of drawings and interesting porcelain pieces. On our last day we made the trek to Boston and waited on line for hours to view the Dale Chihuly exhibition. It was definitely worth the wait and effort. His work is undoubtedly stunning! Breathtaking really. It closes on the 7th of August so you're running out of time, if you haven't yet seen it.

Art Educator's Institute
Just returned from another terrific week at NH Institute of Art for the Art Educator's Institute. This was my 6th year and another challenging week. Spent 30+ hours hand-building in the pottery studio and creating sculpture from found objects, etc. in the 3D Nature Sculpture class. It was exhausting, but exhilarating. Acquired lots of great ideas for the classroom as well as my own work. Also got to see the sand sculptures at Hampton and the Currier collection. Looking forward to getting into my studio.

ALLY McCOIST last night blasted the Rangers stars who are set to quit the club.
In an astonishing outburst, the Ibrox boss accused some of his players of cheating the club and fans by using the formation of a newco to leave under freedom of contract.
The likes of Steve Davis, Stevie Naismith, Steven Whittaker, Carlos Bocanegra and Kyle Lafferty are all understood to be on the verge of walking out this week.
They have been advised they are entitled to do so as their contracts are no longer valid due to the liquidation of Rangers.
This will cost new owner Charles Green more than £10million in lost revenue from transfer fees but will slash more than £90,000 per week off the wage bill.
Sone Aluko is also leaving while youngster Rhys McCabe notified the club via a legal letter on Friday night that he is walking away from his three-year contract.
That led to the midfielder, 19, receiving death threats yesterday on social networking sites.
But McCoist – who was on the verge of quitting himself 10 days ago – couldn't hide his anger and ripped into the want-away stars.
He raged: "It has been reported that a couple of players have indicated they want to challenge the transfer of their contracts.
"This is news to me. No player has spoken to me about it.
"At all times during my first year as manager I strived to show players respect and in return would have hoped they would have shown me, and more importantly the club, respect by notifying us of their intentions before making it known elsewhere.
"Players have their own decisions to make but the question they have to ask themselves is do they want to play for Rangers or not?
"The formation of a new company is not the issue. The players would be playing for the same club – Rangers – in front of the same fans.
"If people want to leave and play somewhere else then they should be honest with the supporters."
The squad took massive pay cuts in March in a bid to stop Rangers from going under after the club went into administration.
Some stars agreed to 75 per cent reductions but negotiated clauses that would have allowed them to leave for cut-price fees.
Now McCoist believes agents are taking advantage of the newco to engineer free transfers.
He said: "I don't want Rangers fans to be reading over the next few days how devastated players are about having to go. The supporters deserve better. They are not daft.
"I can understand if a player has the chance to go somewhere else and there is uncertainty about which division we will be playing in next season.
"But they should not expect sympathy from fans if they use the transfer of contracts as an excuse.
"There are agents touting my players all over the UK, so let's be brutally honest.
"We are in a difficult situation and the contracts issue has given some players and agents the belief they can use it to leave the club.
"After all that the club and the fans have gone through, the supporters, above all, deserve the truth. They should not have to listen to stories trying to sugar-coat the possible departure of players.
"The lads were magnificent last season and made great sacrifices. That will never be forgotten. Now we have to look forward and everyone should be honest about their intentions."
McCoist's attack could lead to a couple of the players performing a U-turn but that seems unlikely. It looks as if this will be a long and drawn-out battle between the club and the players – and Green is not for backing down.
The Ibrox CEO said: "We are meeting PFA Scotland and their legal advisers on Monday with a view to allaying players' concerns about the transfer of contracts. So the timing of these announcements by players is hard to understand.
"The transfer of contracts has already happened and the club's clear legal advice is that players' purported objection is ineffective. Rangers would like to make it abundantly clear to players, agents and other teams that we will take whatever steps necessary to challenge what we regard as a breach of contract."
But MailSport has been advised by top employment law specialists that Green won't win this battle.
A source insisted: "The players are in the right. There is no doubt employment law sides with them.
"The players are registered with a company that isn't allowed to play football in this country.
"Green's actions look pretty suicidal. It has to be asked if he has handled this correctly and it would appear he has not consulted employment law specialists at the appropriate times.
"TUPE is a creation of the European Union and FIFA would have to recognise that."
Rangers report for pre-season training on Thursday and it remains to be seen how many top-team players McCoist and his backroom staff will have to work with.

Twins Drop Another One in Detroit
DETROIT (AP) — Andrew Romine hit his first career grand slam, and the Detroit Tigers rallied from an early three-run deficit to beat the Minnesota Twins 5-3 on Wednesday.
The Tigers trailed 3-0 before scoring five runs in the fourth inning, with Romine delivering the key hit when his drive to right field easily cleared the wall to give Detroit the lead.
Michael Fulmer (1-0) allowed three runs and four hits in six innings, walking one and striking out seven. Detroit's maligned bullpen pitched three hitless innings, with Alex Wilson working the final two for his third career save and first this season. He walked two in the ninth but retired Eduardo Escobar on a flyball to end it.
Kyle Gibson (0-1) allowed five runs and four hits in four innings. Brian Dozier led off the game with a homer for Minnesota.

Cam would have been far more screwed than Tebow in the Broncos offense. Tebow was better running the ball than Cam even with far worse offense around him. Tebow won more games than Cam with fewer attempts to get those wins.. Tebow's run game is what made the Broncos d look so good as well.
and plays in a tougher division that has two real good teams in it.
C-mon bro, Tebow lost a game to the guy he replaced and he was awful doing it.
Tougher division? Did you see the crap QBs and teams Cam faced? His first win was against Blaine Gabbert in his first start in the rain...
And Orton looked better on KC than he did on the Broncos.. so what does that tell you? Either Fox is a terrible coach or the Cheifs are a better team. Kyle also had all the inside info on the rookie Tebow and the Broncos schemes.. just like the Pats who also beat the Tebow with McD..
How can you make excuses for the number one pick getting outplayed by Tebow with a team that was just as bad and a worse coach?
Put Tebow or Orton on the Panthers they would have pit[played him.. any Qbs would have.. yes Cam put up a lot of numbers.. well not in preseason he didn't.. he was god awful. But with his numbers he also put up a ton of turnovers.. just like in today's game. Why is it people just ignore all those turnovers? I guess because Cam looks pretty doing it.. just like Orton..
Cam would have gotten KILLED behind the Broncos line.. look at the Panthers line.. I watched them all season.. they were unbelievable.. Panthers coach said the same thing.. He had the same thing in college.. best Oline in all of college football. Totally dominant.. great run game too both places..

Easy promotion glitch :)
krrsplat posted on Sep 09, 2007 1:25:12 AM - Report post
Ok, i used the latest trainer (1.07 i think) and i found a glitch that gives you super fast promotions. I havent tested it that much but this is what i did. Go to skirmish play on small town usa, build what ever you need to build, make some troops or tanks or whatever. Make them invincible with the shift+F1 button. Click on a tiberium spike and make that invincible too. select your units and force them to attack the tiberium spike. bam! instant promotions(almost instant) some of your units wont get promoted depending on how many you have. if they dont promote just give them a move order then quickly force attack the tiberium spike. i have only tested this with gdi, but for some reason snipers wont level up like this. Oh and i just stomped a brutal opponent with 55 fully promoted rocket squads, thank you cheat happens
krrsplat posted on Sep 09, 2007 1:26:27 AM - Report post
oh yeah, i had the power consumption at 0 and instant building on.
RaZoRb0iz posted on Sep 17, 2007 1:58:19 AM - Report post
It doesn't just work with a tiberium spike it works with any neutral/enemy buildings. And I suspect it works with snipers as well (probably can make an enemy infantry squad/unit invincible then attack it). It probably has to do with the amount of damage done to a unit. It also works with any race, and you don't have to move them. I've found that just by selecting a unit u want to get promoted, then selecting the building they are attacking will get that unit promoted. Easier to work on units that have no ammo or at least have alot of ammo (Orca). And if you notice sometimes the enemy units attacking your invincible structures get the same promotion hack as well. =/

actually thats how i noticed the glitch, i made a rig then deployed it by a tiberium spike made it invincible and protected it with some tanks. and when the enemy attacked it they got promoted, so i did some experimenting, i could not get the snipers to promote. and with the commando you have to dtonate the building two or three times to get a promotion.

No guaranteed the virgins to be hot..or even female for the matter.
What was the point of this thread, other than to propagate a slightly misrepresented saying of the Hadith?
Tru Fax: Princess Minako wrestled Jesus... and won
And the point of this thread is...?

Thanks to Ms Lucy for this awesome, funny gif.
The person that you are now is not the person that I used to know. You're becoming a stranger that I've never met before. Not liking the change though.
Is it wrong that when I saw the thread title on the forum index, I immediately associated it with @Videogamer555 ?
Also what ^ and ^^ said. Was there really much point to telling us that other religions may come across as strange to us?
: The Game. You just lost it. :
omg who cares
isn't it funny?
are you all over sensitive jews or over sensitive warcraft players?
Tah herp-a-derp a-derka derka giggity-goo...
Know what I'm sayin?
Hmmm... Been a while
: The Game. You just lost it. :
-Click-....-click-.....what the- *Boom* , Makes you wonder if they have that accident. but oh well, it's their religion that makes them believe it'll be that many people waiting for them after they kill themselves...even if it is true, what would happen if the people weren't to their liking?- well you get what you killed yourself for.
Last edited by DarkMoonPrince; 01-17-2013 at 09:40 AM. Reason: Other post was too offending.
While not associating my next comment with religion.. I always thought the 72 virgin promise was always weird.
What makes virgins a good sacrifice?
I mean come on... Virgins are rarely great in bed on their first few times.... I wasn't... And you gotta do 72 of them!
If I had to pick between 72 virgins and 72 who are guaranteed great in bed......................... This is inappropriate.
72 is too much anyways. I'm chill with just one...
My two cents on the 72 virgin thing.

I would think at most, 10 virgins would be sufficient. But sigh, people are never satisfied these days.
Gotta stock up on those virgins.

If I lived in a third world country with many problems I'd blow my self-up if I believed that would happen, virgins are virgins!!!

Who says you gotta bang all the 72 virgins in a row? I assume they would get 72 virgins for the rest of their infinite lives up in heaven. I guess virgins must be their thing. ^_^
I generally defend islam and muslims against narrow minded people but this was fun and I could detach myself enough to joke about it, come on its just a joke ;D If you know it, if I know it, then whats the harm? Its different if there is people who actually have something against muslims and joke in a mocking type of way, which I dont see it being.
Most of the time you can't stop idiots from doing idiotic things. You can't talk to an idiot because they will not listen. In fact, most idiots don't know how to listen. Lol. Just sayin'.
