NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon is polling his Twitter followers regarding expanded roster additions for the upcoming fighting game sequel Injustice 2, revealing that guest stars from multiple comic book universes and the Mortal Kombat series are under consideration.
Boon divides his nominees between comic book stars and Mortal Kombat veterans, making it likely that Injustice 2 will feature a slate of playable characters hailing from outside the series' established DC Universe setting.
Injustice 2 is a planned follow-up to 2013's Injustice: Gods Among Us, a one-on-one fighting game featuring DC Comics characters including Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. The series debut allowed players to pit their favorite superheroes against one another in brutal battles for supremacy, while an alternate-universe story mode featured villains like the Joker, Doomsday, and Sinestro.
The original Injustice also allowed players to assume the role of Scorpion, an undead ninja featured throughout NetherRealm's Mortal Kombat series. Injustice 2 will follow suit by offering up its own Mortal Kombat guest star, and Twitter users can vote in Boon's poll to determine who gets the nod.
Mortal Kombat stars up for consideration include the ice-wielding ninja Sub-Zero, lightning god Raiden, cocky movie star Johnny Cage, and bionically augmented soldier Jax. Currently, Sub-Zero leads Boon's poll by a considerable margin, making him a likely lock for the upcoming sequel.
In terms of guest stars from other media franchises, Boon asks his Twitter followers to choose between Todd McFarlane's Spawn, Mike Mignola's Hellboy, the T-800 from the Terminator film series, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As of this writing, the poll shows Spawn taking a decisive lead, with Hellboy trailing at a distant second.
As with NetherRealm's previous games like Mortal Kombat X, Injustice 2's chosen guest stars will likely be available as paid downloadable content following the game's worldwide launch. A release date for Injustice 2 is not yet known.

DescriptionThe sequel to Lionhead's open-ended god game, Black & White, attempts to offer more focused gameplay and larger scale. The player assumes yet again the role of a God and chooses if he will be Good, Evil or something in between.
As a deity that interferes directly with mortal affairs, the player will help his followers, the Greeks, survive and prosper in a mythical land. A good god will improve the city of his followers and eventually attract the inhabitants of neighbouring hamlets, be they neutral or even hostile. An evil god will recruit armies and conquer them.
The player once again has an animal avatar of his choice (between Lion, Ape, Wolf and Cow) which can be trained or left to its own devices. Its A.I. is much more advanced now and revolves around "lessons" learned. Each action it considers to do can be encouraged or discouraged by the player (by slapping or petting) so that a creature does something always/frequently, occasionally, rarely or never. The Creature can harvest, build, entertain, fight, specialize in one of these fields or just wander aimlessly, eat rocks and trees, gag and poop randomly. Depending on its alignment it will also eat or help villagers accordingly.
The divine being can also summon Miracles powered, as always, by faith. The ultimate goal is defeating the ruthless Aztecs by conquering or befriending the other two races (Norse and Japanese). The player also discovers three kinds of scrolls in the game. Gold ones are those that advance the plot, Silver ones are optional quests granting Tribute points which can be invested in buying new features and Bronze ones are tutorial scrolls.

2 Chronicles 16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Asa Wars against Baasha
16 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah and [a]fortified Ramah in order to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah. 2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the Lord and the king's house, and sent them to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying, 3 "Let there be a treaty between [b]you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me." 4 So Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they [c]conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim and all the [d]store cities of Naphtali. 5 When Baasha heard of it, he ceased [e]fortifying Ramah and stopped his work. 6 Then King Asa brought all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had been building, and with them he [f]fortified Geba and Mizpah.
Asa Imprisons the Prophet
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, "Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand. 8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand. 9 For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars." 10 Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in [g]prison, for he was enraged at him for this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 Now, the acts of Asa from first to last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa became diseased in his feet. His disease was severe, yet even in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but the physicians. 13 So Asa slept with his fathers, [h]having died in the forty-first year of his reign. 14 They buried him in his own tomb which he had cut out for himself in the city of David, and they laid him in the resting place which he had filled with spices of various kinds blended by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great fire for him.

Redskins Players of the Game: Raiders
By: Jake Russell @_JakeRussell
Posted: 2005-11-22
Category: Washington Redskins News
Offense: Chris Cooley
Cooley was one of the few positives on Sunday. The Redskins offense failed to move the ball down the field with any efficiency and only reached the red zone once.
Cooley led all receivers with 74 yards and was clutch when the team needed a first down. Of his 5 catches, his last 4 went for first downs. Cooley came through with his longest reception of the day (24 yards) on the Redskins final offensive drive of the game and put the Redskins in Raiders territory. That was his only catch of the second half.
The sophomore H-Back would have been more of a factor had he been used more in passing situations in the second half.
Defense: Lemar Marshall
Marshall gave the team plenty of momentum to build on when he picked off Kerry Collins on the Raiders opening drive and ran the ball 17 yards for his first career touchdown. Marshall continued his aggressive approach, making the tackle on the Raiders very next offensive play.
The seventh-year linebacker was very active and involved on a lot of plays. Although he struggled covering Jerry Porter on the Raiders only touchdown, Marshall did lead all Redskins with 9 tackles and 1 forced fumble.
Special Teams: Derrick Frost
Frost tied a career high with 3 punts downed inside the 20. Of those 3 punts, the Raiders average starting field position was about the 9 yard line.
Most of Frosts solid punting came in the first half. As the offense became more anemic, Frost was forced to punt from deep in Redskins territory, giving the Raiders better starting field position. Despite that, only one punt resulted in a Raiders return in Redskin territory.

Village Evangelical Free Church History
Village Church began in 1975 when 12 families attending Family Camp at Camp Shamineau expressed an interest in meeting for Bible study and worship in the Loretto area. Formerly, some of them had been part of Delano Evangelical Free Church, (which formed the basis for our Free Church connection) but they came from many different church backgrounds. These founding members included Gregg Bergman, Margaret Bergman, Richard & Diane Bromstad, Gayle Davis, Marlys Davis, Allan Drinkwine, David Falk, Jerry & Joan Fredin, Vernon Gunderson, Alert & Linn Hammerlund, David & Darlene Jerde, James Klatke, and John & Jennette Madsen. Sunday evening services began in a rented one-room schoolhouse on County Road 11 in the fall of 1975.
In February 1976, 23 charter members called Pastor Tom Alford. Although his tenure was brief, Tom and his wife, Linda, were used by God to establish key elements of Village's ministry: our focus on teaching God's Word, and especially through Linda, our passion to disciple children and their families. Pastor Tom served until 1977.
After Pastor Tom left Village, John Eagen and Don Byerly both served for six months at Village, while they were teaching at St. Paul Bible College. Then in 1978 Pastor Don Lundeen arrived and served Village as an interim pastor until 1979.
In August 1979, we called Art Ramsland from one of the largest churches in the area. His desire was to help this small new work (less than 80 people attending at this time) develop into a significant ministry in the growing Twin Cities West area. He had a "pastor's heart" and was very relational, kind and set a strong example in his church as well as the community. His wife Pearl reflected on his time at Village, "His years at Village were a very special time. They were the highlight of his ministry with the Evangelical Free Church." In 1979, Village purchased 8.7 acres on County Road 11 from El Schefers for $24,000. Pearl Ramsland commented on the building processes, "The Lord continued to bless that small group and soon the thoughts of building a church were becoming a reality. Plans were decided on and the church building was started." Our original building in was completed in 1980 for approximately $300,000.
Values are better observed than chosen. Established under Tom Alford's ministry, our two core values continued under Pastor Art: a passion for God's Word and discipling children and youth (and their parents) to know Jesus. These can be seen in our first building, which under Pastor Art's leadership was specifically engineered to serve our kids and AWANA - the "temporary" sanctuary (which served in that capacity until 2014) was designed around an AWANA circle. In fact, records indicate that our morning worship and AWANA attendance were about equal in those days, both well over 100 each week.
Mike Thompson serve on staff with Pastor Ramsland. He began teaching Jr. High Sunday School, 1982 - 1983, as a Freshman at St. Paul Bible College. He also worked with the Youth Group during some of his college years from 1983-1985, with Pastor Ramsland. When Mike Thompson led youth, we had 50 - 75 students involved.
Pastor Art, along with early leaders like Monte Sholund, were known as excellent teachers of God's Word and their teaching was eagerly received by Village. At Village, Monte first established "Village Schools of the Bible," which is an ongoing ministry in our area, now out of Wayzata Free Church. Under Pastor Ramsland Village grew spiritually and numerically and when he left in 1984 he was missed deeply.
After a brief interim pastorate, Kevin Meyer was called February 15, 1985 when he was 27 years old. Kevin brought to us enthusiasm and vision. He was a dynamic and gifted speaker. He provided direction and leadership for our worship team and helped Village to clarify its purpose and mission statement. He had a strong desire to reach family and friends with the Good News of Christ and was gifted in evangelism. Pastor Kevin remembers coming to Village, "We had no idea that we would journey together for 13 years. What one remembers and what might actually be true is always the struggle of historians. I recall coming to a church with about 80-100 people. I was the solo staff member full of energy, ideas and youthful pride. I had a deep desire to build a church with a significant ministry in our surrounding communities."
His wife, Grace, was very gifted in music, played piano and lead and directed the music ministry. The average Sunday morning attendance when they arrived was 80 adults and children. The 1980's and 90's were years when the spectacular growth of Willow Creek resulted in the growth of many other churches, Village included. During this time Village emphasized contemporary worship music and formed a band. By 1989, Village added additional office and educational facilities. Due to this growth, staff was added to give leadership to various areas of ministry. In 1985, Pastor Gregg Bergman was hired as Associate Pastor and served until July/August of 1996. In 1988, Bea Guntzel was hired as the Church Secretary and she served until 1995.
In 1992, Pastor Donna Anderson was approved for licensing in ministry and began serving as the Children's Pastor. Pastor Kevin talked about hiring Pastor Donna, "One of the most naturally gifted leaders I was privileged to work with was Donna Anderson. In the early years with a strong AWANA ministry, we began to reach a number of younger families. As the church grew it was clear to the leaders that this ministry to children and families would never thrive and reach its potential without a Children's Pastor. Bringing Donna on staff to fill this role was a no-brainer. Sometimes it requires a great deal of prayer to discern the will of God. Sometimes it's plain as day."
Mike Thompson was hired as the youth pastor from August 1992- December 1995. He continued to work with the youth until he moved in 1996. Pastor Kevin says, "As the ministry continued to grow, our youth ministry needed staff oversight. We began with a Crown College student, Mike Thompson, on a part-time basis and then eventually added Randy "Spanky" Stensgard to the team. Randy had an unusual gift of putting ministry into the hands of the students. He created mission experiences that created environments for life change. His enthusiasm and passion for evangelism had a lasting impact on many who attended Village." Pastor Randy Stensgard was the Youth Pastor from 1995-1999. Pastor Kevin hired Mary Leffler as the Office Manager in June of 1996.
Under Kevin's leadership Village more than doubled in size and we moved our Sunday worship service to the Orono High School, both to accommodate the growth as well as to draw new people. Initially this was considered successful, and we saw many new families join us from Orono. This move was viewed as temporary until a new building program could be adopted. On April 19, 1998, after 13 years at Village, Pastor Kevin Meyer resigned his position as Senior Pastor.
In June, due to an expressed desire by the congregation, it was decided to move Sunday morning services back to our church home-site. Reasons seem to include that ownership of the Willow Creek model was not held in common among us, and our attendance had not continued to grow. Even so, Village attendance was still riding its peak, close to 400. However, the return to our facility and the failure to continue to grow was a discouragement to many. Leadership was also discouraged by the fact that almost all of our growth was transfer and not evangelistic growth.
In 1998, El Schefers donated an additional 2.4 acres of land, contiguous to or current property. Then in September 1998, Village called a pastor with a passion for people and preaching to serve as our Pastoral interim, Greg Donnelly. He had strong relational and shepherding skills and was committed to prayer and helping Village to grow deeper in their commitment to Christ. He served us until December 1999 when we hired Pastor Chuck Dake. A highlight from Pastor Donnelly's time at Village, "was the baptism service on Wednesday, November 25, 1998. Personally, it was a very memorable night as 14 were baptized that Thanksgiving Eve."
Pastor Dake began serving at Village in January 2000 and was also an excellent speaker (who also taught preaching in seminary) and a man who drew people to him and to Christ. Pastor Dake brought stability to the church. Pastor Chuck was a devoted prayer warrior and prayed for the church families on a daily basis. He developed the "Vine" plan whose purpose was to help individuals grow in the Lord from their first commitment to becoming disciple makers. His wife, Sharon, was involved in music as a worship team director and she played the piano.
During Pastor Chuck's time here, Dan Boeck was hired as the Youth Pastor in 2000. In 2002 Pastor Frank (Butch) Novitsky started as the Pastor of Discipleship and Connections. "I longed for us to become a disciple-making church. Many sermons were preached on various aspects of discipleship, especially the importance of small group ministry. Small groups were launched following that series and continued to develop and grow. Eventually, I encouraged the Elders to bring Butch Novitsky on staff to oversee small groups and discipleship," stated Chuck Dake. Under Pastor Dake, along with Butch Novitsky, Small Groups became even more important to us. This is perhaps the time when we can see a third thread of our values forming in us: discipleship.
On January 29, 2006 after a six year ministry, Pastor Chuck left Village. During his ministry the study of God's Word in the context of discipleship groups grew in importance to us so that more than 75% of our adults participated in Growth Groups, and sometimes almost 100%.
On June 1, 2006, Pastor Marvin Norlien arrived at Village as an Intentional Interim Sr. Pastor. Pastor Norlien reflected on his call, "I recall fondly receiving the phone call from Bryan Johnson asking me to come and be the Intentional Interim Pastor. The call came a short time after Linda left for her first one-year deployment to Iraq. The Village Church family was a wonderful blessing to both of us during this year of separation."
Pastor Marv finds interim ministry a very fulfilling way for him to live out his call to pastoral ministry. He desires to minister to and assist churches during their time of transition between pastors. His primary objective is to prepare the congregation for the coming of the new pastor and to work with the Elders to determine ministry focus during the interim period. He provided overall spiritual and administrative leadership for the church. His skills were used in teaching/preaching the Word of God, equipping the congregation to do the work of the ministry, and the building up of the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13). Marvin Norlien remembers his time at Village, "I also appreciated Pastor Dan Boeck and the ministry to Junior and Senior High School students. His emphasis on short-term missions to Czechoslovakia was truly outstanding. Without question, the most challenging time for me at Village was when finances were so difficult that we needed to make a staff change and ask Pastor Dan to resign so we could fill that role with a part-time youth director. I thought both Pastor Dan and the church handled this painful situation in a very Christ-like and God honoring manner."
Pastor Marvin, celebrated the many years of service that Pastor Donna gave to Village when she retired in May of 2007. He also was involved in hiring Abby Fletcher to replace Donna in January 2001. Abby and Donna worked together for many months. In July of 2007, John Patnode was hired as the part-time youth pastor.
Pastor Rick Shenk was called in 2007 to a church of about 200 attendance. He was asked to continue our focus on the Word in preaching and teaching and to help us continue to grow in discipleship with children and adults.
Pastor Butch Novitsky continues to be at the center of strengthening our adult discipleship ministry. In 2008, Sandi VandenEinde was hired as the Children's Director after Abby Fletcher stepped down. In 2009, John Patnode resigned from Village for a full-time youth pastor role in Michigan.
In 2010, Janice Van Arnam was hired to lead us in Family Discipleship. In the last few years, a fourth value has become clear; Community - the church as a family. This is seen in part in our "Discipleship Community" which is our monthly gathering of Small Group Pastors (including pastors of ministry teams for service and pastors of growth groups for Bible Study). This is also seen as we become a church who is not only friendly, but engaged in relationships that are stronger than the sin that works to divide any group of people who risks being close. It is even seen in how we now do World Discipleship (missions). God is growing us, slowly and over time, to be more like Him.
In 2013, a $1M sanctuary addition was added to Village Church. January 2015, Mary Leffler retired from Village after 19 years of dedicated ministry. At this time Janice Van Arnam transitioned into the role of Church Administrator. In 2015, we hired Brian Pearson to be our full-time pastor of Family Discipleship and Worship.
In January 2018, Pastor Butch Novitsky retired from staff at Village and Pastor Tim Huff was hired as our new Associate Pastor. In the meantime, Pastor Rick Shenk announced his retirement from pastoral ministry to take on a new role as full-time professor at a local seminary. Rick switched roles from full-time Lead pastor to part-time Interim Pastor for nine months, while a search committee was formed and started the process of seeking a new Lead Pastor. Pastor Rick officially retired from Village in May 2018. In July of 2018, Jeff Horch began as Senior Pastor.
We are grateful to God for each of the pastors and leaders he has given who have all helped us in the never-finished job of becoming more like Jesus. Attendance today is about 180.

Base on this performance, another element added on the story, which is the bridge and the
stream to give the story more spice. Normally it can just be performed by having the wooden hut where the scorpion stays. So to perform this, you have to build a fake scorpion as a props. Put a fishing line on the head of the scorpion to pull the scorpion out so you can acchieve the feeling of attracting the scorpion to chase after you. Dancing style will be the same as how you normally cross a bridge if you add on a bridge. If not just create a story of sleeping not far from the wooden hut. Suddenly, there is some ants biting the lion. Because normally broken woods will have white ants and onther type of ants. After a few bites, the lion is so angry and wakes up to see where is the ants coming from. So it finally found that it is from the broken wood not far away. Then the wood rise the curiousity of the lion and the lion will move around and see what is the wood is all about. Continouly looking makes the lion found that there is a food in the hut but guarded by a scorpion. So the lion will attract the scorpion out to battle it.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (PANA) - African leaders must be held accountable to make sure the continent benefits from natural resources currently being exploited by foreign conglomerates, a senior official of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) said here Friday.
Adam Elhiraika, chief of the Macro Economic Analysis Section of the ECA, said: "Big companies from industrialised countries are extracting mineral resources from Africa but their activities don't have any linkage to domestic economies."
Elhiraika told journalists at the regional launch of the 2013 World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) report that African countries cannot rely either on UN agencies or any other outsiders to ensure that benefits accrued from their mineral and other natural resources are reflected in improved living standards of their people.
The official called on African governments to stop the production and exportation of raw commodities at low prices.
"We tell them to process the raw materials because in that way we can diversify African economies, create more jobs for Africans and increase intra-regional trade that would eventually reduce the continent's vulnerability to external shocks," said Elhiraika.
According to WESP, Africa will defy the global economic slowdown in 2013, with most countries predicted to post much stronger growth than the global average.
"Despite the global slowdown, Africa's economic growth rate (excluding Libya) will see a visible rebound to 4.5 percent in 2013 compared to 3.4 percent in 2012. The upward trend is expected to continue in 2014, with growth reaching 5.0 percent," said the annual report jointly produced by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the UN Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the five UN regional commissions.
WESP said Africa's increasing trade and investment ties with emerging and developing economies were likely to mitigate the impact of negative shocks emanating from the recession in Europe.
Increasing diversification into services, telecommunication, construction and other non-primary commodity sectors, including manufacturing, also contribute to Africa's positive growth outlook in the medium term.
The report pointed out that recent oil discovery in some African countries, if well-managed, could present unique opportunities for accelerated growth and development.
Though oil exporting countries tended to fare better in terms of average income growth than non-oil exporters, the report noted that the relatively high overall growth of oil exporters has not delivered the expected benefits.
'The enormous revenues from oil have not measurably boosted per capita incomes in many countries," said the report, citing as example Nigeria, which exported US$700 billion in oil between 1980 and 2010 - and yet the country's per capita income was barely above the average for Africa.
Despite having one of the highest GDP per capita in Africa, Equatorial Guinea is still ranked 136 in the UN Human Development Index, whereas Kenya, with a per capita income less than one-tenth that of Equatorial Guinea, is ranked 143.
"This points to either severe mismanagement of the revenue or significant concentration of the oil wealth," the report said.
In 2012, Kenya became the latest frontier for new oil discoveries in Africa, following previously announced discoveries in Ghana, Sierra Leone and Uganda.

Bodnant Garden
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
The gardens cover 80 acres (32 hectares), with winding paths through a wonderfully varied landscape with superb views. Though it is the lily pool that most often appears in photos of Bodnant, my favourite part of the garden was the dell, with luxuriant undergrowth and tall, slender trees, arched footbridges, small streams, and the swiftly running River . This is a magical area, a beautifully lush fantasy garden.
VisitingWe came on a dull, drab day, but there was nothing dull or drab about the gardens! The planting is so richly varied that at every turn there was someting new to see. Our family had a really wonderful time; there was plenty of space for children to run about, and lots for adults to enjoy at a more sedate pace!
Our family visited Bodnant for the second time on a return trip to Snowdonia. My wife's words pretty well sum up our experience, 'that is the best garden we've visited in Britain'. High praise indeed, but hard to argue with. We were fortunate enough to visit on a sunny afternoon in late August, and the colours were simply stunning. The formal gardens near the house were resplendent with flowers in bloom, and I was struck by the peaceful and elegant Italianate terraces above the lily pond. The dell was cool and lush with growth, a lovely space to linger on a warm summer's day.

This has been a major revelation for me. That list of things to do in our heads? We will die with it. Hopefully, we won't die for a very long time and when we do, the list will look very different to the one that exists now but we will still die with an unfinished list in our heads. Scary shit, isn't it?
It's not uncommon for us busy creatures to have many things on the go at any one time, and still have a backlog of jobs to complete. Housework, paperwork, unreturned emails. The car needs servicing. Teeth are due to be cleaned and checked. I must get around to reading the Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. I should peel that expired parking permit sticker off the car. Must buy so-and-so's birthday present. And a card. Should change the bed sheets. Haven't got this month's Frankie magazine yet. Must head into Medicare soon and get that rebate. If you're anything like me and you write actual to do lists, that's all well and good. Until you catch yourself adding, 'Must write to do list' to your mental to do list.
A while ago, I had planned a near perfect weekend. Friday night and Saturday were going to be my social/chores days. I saw people and I got stuff done. Lots of stuff. I went to bed on Saturday happy. The next morning, I woke to my specially prepared 'quiet day'. Reading, writing, catching up on TV shows on iView. I had been looking forward to my Sunday all week. I woke up late on Sunday and staying in bed, read the final beautiful pages of my book. I then picked up another and launched straight in. And that was the precise moment the guilt kicked in. This is too indulgent. There is so much other stuff I should be doing. And at the top of the list? Consolidating my Super.
That's right. At the age of 27, the thing that sits at the top of my to do list is to consolidate my Super. In my defence, I have been meaning to do this for a while, about ten months in fact. And they keep reminding you that you're paying unnecessary fees. I have three accounts. That's three lots of fees! So it has been bugging me. But, what a ridiculous thing to be spoiling my perfect Sunday!
Someone very wise told me about the never-ending list secret. I call it a secret because I honestly believe many people aren't aware of this. We think we have to get through it in order to be able to enjoy ourselves, to sleep easy, or to move on to the next thing. But life's to do list doesn't work that way. You get through what you think is the entire list and then someone turns the effing page and you discover the list goes onto page 2, and 3, and you get the picture.
We tell ourselves, I'll just do one more thing. It'll only take fifteen minutes. But a lot of fifteen minutes add up to a long time. And as we all know, one thing will lead to another... if you're lucky. If you're unlucky, it leads to another five.
So, I'm teaching myself to be ok with an unfinished list. It's not always easy, but I'm trying. In fact, it goes completely against my nature. And even as I write this, it's killing me that I STILL haven't gotten around to doing something about the three Super accounts. What are the implications of dying with that still on the list?

22.1.2004, Calcutta: A draw would at least have been a moral victory for Mohun Bagan. They played their hearts out in the first half, and despite changing ends at 1-1, silly mistakes in the defence robbed the initiative and the match in the second. In the end, East Bengal's 2-1 win in their National Football League derby at the Salt Lake Stadium looked
deserving. In the end, there was good behaviour. No post-match finger-pointing, no outburst against referee S.M. Balu of Karnataka (a few unusual decisions did happen) and it was all very refreshing, really. As the coaches met the media, probably the long lay-off that lies ahead played on their minds.
East Bengal beat arch-rivals Mohun Bagan 2-1 in their National Football League derby at the Salt Lake Stadium Thursday. While Dipankar Roy put East Bengal ahead, Ashim Biswas restored parity, before Mike Okoro got the winner.
Dipankar Roy put the league champions ahead in the 23rd minute and Ashim Biswas restored parity in the 40th. Mike Okoro headed home the winner in the 65th minute.
All the tension that the coaches predicted didn't really seem to matter in the first half, with coach Aloke Mukherjee's green-maroon brigade quickly getting a measure of their opponents, using excellent half-line feed and a neat passing game. Veteran Basudeb Mondal was all over, so was Rennedy Singh. Eduardo was providing excellent support to Biswas upfront, taking a good deal of load off the defence.
In the defence, too, Leonardo was excellent in interception, showing good anticipation. However, Rishi Kapoor remained a sad story.
While East Bengal's Okoro was outstanding up the right and moving into the area of kill, the forward line, especially the famed duo of Bhaichung Bhutia and Cristiano de lima Junior was barely allowed any elbow space. The idea was to get Okoro to shovel up the feed to the forward line for a shot.
In the 12th minute Basudeb was up the middle, sending a rising centre to Eduardo on the right. East Bengal goalkeeper Sangram Mukherjee made a sterling diving save of the Brazilian's powerful left-footed volley.
Junior did try a header at the other end, but it was a rather half-hearted effort.
The goal actually came quite against the run of play, in a counter-attack of sorts, as Bhaichung received one from a melee in the rival defensive third. He passed onto Okoro on the right and the latter lifted for Dipankar. Dipankar's right-footer from an acute angle was a tentative shot, but it took Bagan 'keeper Bilifang Narzary's fingers and went in.
East Bengal were suddenly on the offensive from then, the Bagan defence looking pretty shaky. Okoro again pressed in, lifting one from the right to the goalmouth in the 37th minute. Bhaichung had two defenders on guard, but himself moved in late for the kill, wasting the opportunity.
The equaliser, too, came against the run of play. While it was East Bengal charging in, a misspass had Leonardo and Eduardo move up off a one-two. Leonardo's rising centre reached the goalmouth and Biswas jumped quickly to head in brilliantly past the far post, with 'keeper Mukherjee stranded at the near.
Three minutes into the second session of play Eduardo hurt his ankle and had to be replaced by Sunil Chhetri. The result was a big loss of attacking sting in the Bagan forward line. That also pushed the defensive screen in lateral pressure, showing gaps.
Chhetri did get his chance to be in the sun when he was fed a lifting centre from the left by Rennedy, but the former, placed well, headed off target from close. Had that been scored the story of the day could well have been different.
Junior, too, disappointed in the 57th minute. A ball from the left was taken by a diving Narzary, but in the fall it spilled out and at the feet of Junior. The Brazilian was too slow to trap and turn as Harpreet Singh cleared from near the goalline.
Then came the clincher. It was a Kapoor folly that resulted in a flag-kick on the right. Alvito D'Cunha's low shot could also have been intercepted, but it moved into the melee instead. Okoro had to barely jump before heading in.
As the teams go into a long lay-off from the National League — the national team goes into the pre-World Cup matches in Margao — East Bengal carry 21 points and Bagan 14.
"Satisfied", wasn't a word East Bengal coach Subhas Bhowmick uses often. He did just that, and then said: "I wanted to end the first leg on 20 points, my players gave me a point extra. That's nice." He even went onto point a deficiency in the rival attack as a relieving factor — another uncharacteristic comment (Wednesday he had refused to admit any Jose Ramirez Barreto factor in his confidence). "Of course it (Barreto not being there) made a difference. We could play freely. Barreto is always a threat, even if we have taken a good lead," he said.
"I had told my boys to be cautious in the first half and not concede a lead. I had said we would then handle the second half. They did just that," said Bhowmick.
Though not really saying so, Bhowmick made it clear that the title-defence now looked a distinct possibility. He said the upcoming AFC Champions League is a "big challenge and we want to keep the good work going." He refused to say if the gap and the national team stint could in any way hamper his preparations.
Mohun Bagan coach Aloke Mukherjee's despair was understandable. "I was handicapped with the shortage of another good attacker in the reserve bench to provide support to Ashim Biswas," he said.
"There is little I could do about this… In the month-long gap that there will be now I will be able to shore up my defensive shortfall (and there were many Thursday, especially by Rishi Kapoor that resulted in the Okoro clincher), but I need a good foreigner in striking position. I will ask my club for this."
Regarding the deficiencies that 'keeper Bilifang Narzary has shown, Mukherjee said he was again helpless. "Had Prasanta Dora or Imran Khan been available for this match the end scoreline would have been different," he said. "However, I am happy that my boys did play a great game in the first half. We managed to bottle up their top two strikers, Bhaichung Bhutia and Cristiano Junior.
"That we conceded the goals was through silly defensive errors, but it is also true that they were able to score only off set-pieces," said the coach.
Mike Okoro has gone through a lot over the past one year. From spearheading the East Bengal attack to glory in Jakarta, he came close to being suspended for his whimsical ways.
With injuries to the likes of Suley Musah and Douglas da Silva, the East Bengal authorities were forced to persist with the Nigerian ball-player, and it's clear as broad daylight that they were not wrong.
Okoro himself believes the dark days are behind him and he is close to his best. "It's New Year, a completely new beginning…I want to look ahead," the Nigerian said.
Okoro was the standout man for East Bengal on Thursday in an unaccustomed position in the midfield. He was the main man behind most of the attacks and clinched the game for East Bengal in the 65th minute header.
"Things did go a little wrong late last year. But I'm happy to be back in full flight," a visibly relaxed Okoro said.
But what was going wrong' "The concentration wasn't there, I'm trying to get my focus back."
But what he didn't mention was the enormous turmoil he had gone through in his personal life. After losing his baby, he broke off with his long-time fiancée. He came back to India a completely disoriented man, and the East Bengal authorities even contemplated on providing psychiatric treatment to him.
"I want to dedicate this performance to all those who have stood by me during the rough times."
Is this the best performance of his life'
"Don't know, but definitely one of the most important ones of my career," he added.
"In fact, things started falling in place from the last game against Mohammedan Sporting…I'm happy to keep the good work going.
When asked whether it was a little difficult playing in the midfield, Okoro said: "A good player has to adjust himself in every position. The coach wants me in the midfield and it's my duty to keep delivering."
But he agreed to the fact that Jose Ramirez Barreto's absence was a factor. "When a player of his stature is not around, you feel more confident." Mohun Bagan forward Ashim Biswas also harped on that point. "Had Barreto been there, I could have played a little more freely. It's always tough to play with three markers breathing down your throat," Biswas, Bagan's lone scorer, said.
Three members of the Bayern Munich fan club — Michael Barth, Marcos Ross and George Berz were present at the Salt Lake Stadium to get a flavour of Indian football. "We're travelling all around the world to watch football and are sponsored by our organisation — Red Munich," Ross said. The group, however, didn't sound too satisfied with the quality of football that was on offer.
East Bengal: Sangram Mukherjee, Dipankar Roy (Alvito D'Cunha, 60), Dipak Mondal, Mahesh Gawli, Subhashis Roy Chowdhury, Subhas Chakraborty, Mike Okoro, Debjit Ghosh, Sujoy Dutta (Anit Ghosh, 70), Bhaichung Bhutia (K. Kulothungan, 83), Cristiano de lima Junior.

HOUSTON – Many of Merck's own studies in Vioxx produced data indicating that the painkiller increase risks of hear attacks, even if taken over a short period of time, an epidemiologist testified on behalf of plaintiffs in a federal case here.
Having independently analyzed raw date from Merck & Co.'s studies, "the totality of evidence clearly indicates that Vioxx causes heart attacks and serious coronary heart disease," said Wayne Ray, a professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. Taking Vioxx for less than a year increases heart attack risks by between 2.2 and 2.8 times, he said, adding that there was only a "one in a million" possibility that this finding was due to chance.
The professor, who studies the effects of drugs on populations, was testifying on the third day of a trial in U.S. District Court here, the first federal Vioxx case thus far.
Evelyn Irvin Plunkett is suing Merck over the 2001 death of her husband, Richard "Dicky" Irvin. He died of a heart attack after taking the drug for less than a month. Merck voluntarily withdrew the drug from the market last year. It pointed to the results of a study it was conducting that it said linked Vioxx to an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients taking the drug for 18 months or longer. But it denies any increased risk for shorter periods.
Following the drug's withdrawal, the Whitehouse Station, N.J., company, has been hit with a wave of some 6,400 lawsuits. Merck said that there is no conclusive scientific that Vioxx, when used in the short term, causes heart problems. The drug maker lost the first state Vioxx trial a few months ago when a Texas jury awarded $253.4 million to the widow of a man who died while taking the drug. The award will likely be reduced to $26 million under state damage caps. The company rebounded last month in an Atlantic City, N.J., courtroom.
Dr. Ray also provided testimony contradicting Merck's explanation for why patients taking Vioxx in an early clinical trial known as Vigor showed greater incidence of heart problems than those taking another painkiller, naproxen. Merck had dismissed the results of the trial, concluding that rather than Vioxx causing heart problems, naproxen reduces the chance of heart attacks. "Naproxen has virtually no effect on heart attacks," Dr. Ray said. "Doesn't cause 'em, doesn't cure 'em."
Earlier in the day, attorneys for the plaintiff questioned Alan Nies, a retired Merck pharmacologist, about what Merck knew about Vioxx's potential cardiovascular risks. Plaintiff's attorney tried to established that Merck had information that suggested Vioxx could adversely affect chemicals in the body that have a hand in blood clotting – which can lead to heart attacks—as far back as 1996, but rushed the drug market out of financial need.
Under questioning by Mr. Beasley, the former Merck scientist said that when he learned of the results of a study in the late 1990s that raise questions about Vioxx, Dr. Nies wanted to further explore the hypothesis but wasn't overly concerned because the results weren't conclusive. He said the company consistently acted in favor or patient safety and didn't cut any corners in bringing Vioxx to market.
Under cross examination by Merck defense attorney Tarik Ismail, Dr Nies, who testified in the Texas state Vioxx trial, said that Merck did some 60 studies to test Vioxx's safety. He said that following the results of the vigor study, Merck took several steps to try to understand the results, including convening a group of outside advisors.
Two other witnesses testified on behalf of the plaintiff yesterday. In addition to Dr. Ray, Thomas Baldwin, a cardiologist, told the jury of five men and four women that Mr.Irvin was at low risk for a heart attack.

UVa's Jarmere Jenkins Named ACC Male Athlete of the YearPosted: Updated:
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Virginia senior tennis player Jarmere Jenkins (College Park, Ga.) was named as the 2013 recipient of the Anthony J. McKevlin Award, given annually to the top male athlete in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Jenkins is the fifth Virginia athlete to receive the honor and the first since 2003.
The Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA) votes on the McKevlin Award, as well as the Mary Garber Award for the top female athlete in the ACC, given this year to North Carolina women's soccer player Crystal Dunn.
Jenkins is the fifth Cavalier to receive the McKevlin Award. He joins football star Frank Quayle (1969), basketball legends Barry Parkhill (1972) and Ralph Sampson (1983) and lacrosse standout Chris Rotelli (2003).
With the award, Jenkins joins a group of honorees that includes four Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers, seven No. 1 overall NBA draft picks, four College Football Hall of Famers, two No. 1 overall MLB draft picks and one Heisman Trophy winner.
"Receiving the McKevlin Award is a little overwhelming at first when you look at the list of previous winners," said Jenkins. "To join a group that includes so many great names, especially the ones that went on to become stars in the NFL and NBA, is a tremendous honor. I am going to share this prestigious award with my family, teammates and coaches who have helped me have an unbelievable four years at the University of Virginia."
Jenkins, who was the 2013 ITA National Player of the Year, ended the season ranked No. 1 in the ITA singles rankings and was the 2013 NCAA singles runner-up. He posted a 42-6 singles record during his senior season, including winning the 2012 ITA Indoor Intercollegiate Championship title in the fall.
He was named NCAA Tournament MVP as the Cavaliers won their first team championship in May. The 2013 ITA/Farnsworth National Senior Player of the Year, Jenkins ended his collegiate career by winning the 2013 NCAA Doubles Championship with Mac Styslinger (Birmingham, Ala.).
Jenkins is the first athlete in the 60-year history of the award to be honored solely for his accomplishments on the tennis courts. The only previous tennis player to receive the award was Maryland's John Lucas in 1976, who was an All-American in both basketball and tennis that year.
"It is a remarkable accomplishment for Jarmere," said head coach Brian Boland. "I am happy for him and he is extremely deserving of the award. It is a reflection of not only the hard work he put into his career at the University of Virginia, but it is truly a testament to the hard work of everyone in this program. I believe it is also a tremendous honor for the sport of tennis. The ACC is unbelievably strong in numerous sports, so for a tennis player to win this award is something our sport as a whole can take pride in."

When it comes to choosing between cloud servers and virtual private servers (VPS), which is best? In short, the main difference between virtual private servers and cloud servers is scale.
VPS has long been recognized as one of the ways in which businesses can reduce IT costs and increase operational efficiency. By isolating applications and programs within one virtual server that's set aside solely for you, VPS provides high levels of privacy, security and control. But while VPS delivers cost savings on hardware and offers the flexibility to run multiple operating systems or sets of programs on individual servers at the same time, it doesn't scale well.
In contrast, buying a cloud server is like buying a much larger ecosystem that allows for scaling up and out. A cloud environment allows you to more easily add more resources to your server, such as RAM, processors or even cloned copies of your server for data back-up.
VPS vs. Cloud does not have to be an either/or option. You can host your VPS in a virtualized environment. This allows you to convert one physical server into multiple virtual machines, each of which acts like a unique physical device for running both IT resources and web applications in a flexible, instantly scalable and cost efficient manner.

I enjoyed listening to The Lady Killer, a mix of motown and r&b with a film noir theme, and loved Forget You, so I thought it'd be fun to enter The Scenestar's contest for free tickets to Cee Lo's show. To be honest, I didn't start listening to Cee Lo's latest album, The Lady Killer, until I heard Gwyneth Paltrow covering Forget You on Glee (which is probably the only reason anyone even knows she can sing because, really, who even watches the Country Music Awards? Glee is also the only reason she got to do an entertaining, colorful duet with Cee Lo at The Grammys). That's not to say Cee Lo isn't talented (he has a great, soulful voice and put on a good show when I saw him at ACL), he just wasn't really on my radar after Gnarls Barkley.
The day of the show, I found out I won. Because I had forgotten about the show, up until I won, I had already made dinner plans that night (I couldn't miss out on Kokekokko's chef's 3-day stewed ox tail curry, which is awesome BTW), so I had to miss Big Boi's performance, which I'm now a little disappointed at because I found out later that Janelle Monae was a guest.
When we got there, Cee Lo was finishing up his opening set with Goodie Mob. He had some issues with sound after his all female band (which reminded me of Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love music video) set up to play his first song, but he kept the crowd entertained while it was being resolved. He had a slow start, but ended strong with his two biggest hits Crazy and F- You. He was a ball of energy, getting the crowd to dance, chatting at high speeds, and having fun dancing to his own songs. I love watching Cee Lo perform because he always seems to be enjoying himself.

"Employment" is a classic science fiction story pioneering the concept of de-extinction by L. Sprague de Camp. It was first published in the magazine Astounding Science-Fiction for May, 1939. The story appeared under the pseudonym Lyman R. Lyon (the name of his maternal great-grandfather) as the magazine's policy did not allow the name of any author to be repeated on the same contents page, and de Camp had another piece in the same issue under his actual name (part one of his article "Design for Life"). It first appeared in book form in the anthology Imagination Unlimited (Farrar Strauss and Young, 1952; It later appeared in the anthologies Men of Space and Time (The Bodley Head, 1953), and Science Fiction Inventions (Lancer Books, 1967), as well as the de Camp collection The Best of L. Sprague de Camp (Doubleday, 1978). It was credited to de Camp's real name in all publications subsequent to its first appearance. The story has been translated into German.
.web is a generic top-level domain that will be awarded by ICANN to one of seven registry applicants. The .web TLD will be in the official root once ICANN awards the registry contract.
.web was operated as a prospective registry, not in the official root, by Image Online Design since 1995. It originated when Jon Postel, then running the top level of the Domain Name System basically single-handedly, proposed the addition of new top-level domains to be run by different registries. Since Internet tradition at the time emphasized "rough consensus and running code", Christopher Ambler, who ran Image Online Design, saw this as meaning that his company could get a new TLD into the root by starting up a functional registry for it. After asking and receiving permission from IANA to do so, IOD launched .web, a new unrestricted top level domain.
Since then IOD has tried to get their domain into the official root through several plans to admit new top-level domains. Several new-TLD plans in the late 1990s, including Postel's original proposal, failed to reach sufficient consensus among the increasingly contentious factions of the Internet to admit any new TLDs, including .web. When ICANN accepted applications for new TLDs in 2000 which resulted in the seven new domains added soon afterward, IOD's application was not approved; neither was it officially rejected, however, since all unapproved applications remain in play for possible future acceptance. A second round of new TLDs, however, was done entirely with new applications, and only for sponsored domains (generally intended for use by limited communities and run by nonprofit entities). The .web registry remains hopeful, however, that their application will eventually be approved. On May 10, 2007, ICANN announced the opening of public comments towards a new, third round of new gTLDs, a round in which IOD has not participated.
Web or Webs may refer to:
In mathematics, a web permits an intrinsic characterization in terms of Riemannian geometry of the additive separation of variables in the Hamilton–Jacobi equation.
An orthogonal web on a Riemannian manifold (M,g) is a set of n pairwise transversal and orthogonal foliations of connected submanifolds of codimension 1 and where n denotes the dimension of M.
Note that two submanifolds of codimension 1 are orthogonal if their normal vectors are orthogonal and in a nondefinite metric orthogonality does not imply transversality.
Given a smooth manifold of dimension n, an orthogonal web (also called orthogonal grid or Ricci's grid) on a Riemannian manifold (M,g) is a set of n pairwise transversal and orthogonal foliations of connected submanifolds of dimension 1.
Since vector fields can be visualized as stream-lines of a stationary flow or as Faraday's lines of force, a non-vanishing vector field in space generates a space-filling system of lines through each point, known to mathematicians as a congruence (i.e., a local foliation). Ricci's vision filled Riemann's n-dimensional manifold with n congruences orthogonal to each other, i.e., a local orthogonal grid.

We finally had some rain last night! It sounded so good on the roof while falling asleep. We got almost 40 mm. Filled the cistern part ways and filled out hearts with hope for some more before winter starts!
I want to make a peach pie this weekend, and because I was thinking about it so much, I made a polyvore set about peaches:

My knitting is also on scedule. Part four of Winter Winds is finished yesterday and I got part five, the last part, this morning. So in a few minutes I can sit down and knit and that's what I am going to do. Here you can see the middle pattern. The picture doesn't do it justice, I couldn't block it right now. After blocking taking pictures will be easier.
There is also some stitching done on the Plantation Sampler. A tree is growing slowly.

Former Scotland rugby cap Ben Cairns has hailed the new sporting facilities being built at Heriot-Watt University's Riccarton campus and the Currie head coach believes young up-and-coming sports talent must make the most of them.
Work on the Oriam sports performance centre has been continuing this summer and it is due to open to the public in the coming months.
The facilities will include an indoor 3G pitch with 500 seats, a sports hall, one outdoor synthetic pitch and seven outdoor grass pitches.
Scottish Rugby and the Scottish Football Association will be taking their national squads there to train, with a number of other sports also set to benefit.
And Cairns, who is about to enter his third season at the helm of BT Premiership outfit Currie, has made sure that his players will also get access to the new facilities.
The Malleny Park men will use Oriam regularly during season 2016/17 and Cairns, who played in 117 matches for Edinburgh Rugby and earned eight Scotland caps, said: "I think it is great to see investment in sporting facilities in general.
"On the rugby side of things good indoor facilities have really moved on in recent years. I remember times when I was training with Edinburgh and we would be scratching around on the day trying to find somewhere to train, but hopefully facilities such as Oriam will help see the end of those days.
"I think having access to facilities like this and knowing well in advance where we are going to be training will help the Currie guys greatly.
"It will help me as a coach with my planning too and doing fitness testing here will be great because it means the conditions are the same every time.
"A lot of our guys are students at Heriot-Watt anyway and the club has a good link-up with the university, so to have Oriam on our doorstep will help the whole squad improve.
"Just generally for youngsters, whatever sports they play, facilities like this are brilliant."
Meanwhile, Cairns believes his squad are hungry for success in 2016/17 with the disappointment of a last-gasp top-flight semi-final defeat in back in April still fresh in the memory.
The players have been back in pre-season training for the last couple of weeks ahead of the league campaign which begins away to Ayr on August 27.
In 2015/16 they finished second in the regular season table and with just seconds remaining at Malleny Park were 22-21 up on eventual champions Heriot's in their last four clash.
That was until Gregor McNeish kicked a winning drop goal for the visitors which saw the Currie players sink to their knees as the final whistle blew.
Cairns, 30, stated: "I said to the boys that, in a weird way, losing as we did in the league semi-final last season is the best way to prepare for this campaign because how can you be any more hungry for success after that failure?
"At our first pre-season session recently I showed them the video of the loss to Heriot's and they were still hurting. As a result we are all looking forward to getting going again in August and I think a lot of the young players in the squad will have grown up a bit and will be ready to take on more leadership.
"For example, we had a number of guys away with Scotland under-20 at the World Championship last month and I thought they acquitted themselves well. They will have a slower start to pre-season because they need some rest and recovery time, but when they are back I expect them to be more confident and mature and show what they are about.
"You definitely need experience in your team, but the guys who give you energy and excitement are the young guys and it is great to watch them progress."
As well as his young players progressing, Cairns too is progressing in the coaching world.
"It has been a steep learning curve for me over the last couple of years, but a good one and one that will hopefully stand me in good stead going forward if I get the chance to take my coaching to the next level," he said.

Thought I'd pop onto my blog and show you the only Father's Day card I needed to make this year.
When I saw this image from Sugar Pea Designs, I couldn't resist. I jumped on Pinterest to get inspiration from my 'Just the sketch" board. I used my new Tim Holtz oxide distress ink pads to color the fossilized amber diecut mat. These pads are freakin' awesome. If you use a MISTI, you can use them to stamp sentiments. I'm on a quest to get my ink pad numbers to a reasonable number --- say 50 or so. You don't want to know how many I have now. I can purge some older inkpads that don't allow you to use watercolors and/or copics.
So here's my card.
Isn't he just the most adorable? His weight has sparkly Wink of Stella in silver on it. The sentiment is from a tiny set from Technique Tuesday. My son-in-law is a lay pastor at our church, and always says, "That's how I roll." I used Prima Julie Nutting watercolor pencils for hair and skin tones. These pencils are proving to be very useful. My SIL is bald, so I only had to color skin...yippie, not my fave body part to color. Everything else on this card is from my stash.
I am entering my card here Tuesday Throwdown, For the Men.
Let's see your Father's Day cards. We all know we don't have enough masculine cares in our stashes.
