The "Tunnel Tree" Is Felled by Storm
Iconic Giant Sequoia May Have Been Weakened by Drought
One of the most photographed trees in the nation, the hollowed out "tunnel tree," more officially known as the "Pioneer Cabin Tree," will now live only in those photos and peoples' memories as it is being reported that during the massive winter storm that struck over the weekend in Northern California, the giant sequoia toppled and shattered upon impact.
Though its base was carved out in the 1880s to allow tourists to pass through it, it continued to live until now at the Calaveras Big Trees State Park, which is about 150 miles east of San Francisco. As the Calaveras Big Trees Association posted on their Facebook page, "the storm was just too much for it."
The storm in question has led to the worst flooding in a decade in California and Nevada, produced a wind gust of 173 mph in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where the state park is located, and is being blamed for the deaths of at least three people.
On the association's website, Peter Ralston writes that drought stress has caused an increase in mortality in many conifers and that studies have shown that taller trees, due to a number of factors including having to lift water to a greater height, are more vulnerable to the stress.

Coeliac disease
Coeliac disease (spelled celiac disease in North America) is an illness which makes people ill if they eat gluten. If someone with coeliac disease eats something with gluten (for example, wheat), cells inside the body attack the lining of the intestine. This means that they cannot digest (eat) food properly, making them unable to have enough energy, vitamins, or minerals. Children may be unable to grow taller or gain weight properly. People with coeliac disease often lose weight. They are also frequently tired.
People with coeliac disease often have diarrhoea (watery stools) or steatorrhea (fat in their stools). These symptoms can lead to flatulence. Their stomach also hurts and they might suffer from joint pains, seizures, rashes, loss of bone density and fertility issues.[1]
To relieve the effects of coeliac disease, one must stop eating gluten. There are no medicines that can stop coeliac disease. To get fully better, it usually takes about two years of not eating gluten, during which time the previously damaged intestine might recover. They must remain on a gluten-free diet for the rest of their life in order to treat this condition.[1]
Coeliac disease is genetic. This means that the person affected by it is born with genes that cause the immune system to react badly to gluten. However, coeliac disease is not always there during childhood. It can be triggered as an adult by an event such as pregnancy or illness.[1]
To find out if a person has coeliac disease, doctors look in the blood to see if they have the cells that attack the intestine when gluten is eaten. The protein that attacks the intestine is called an antibody. Antibodies are produced by white blood cells, and they normally stop illnesses from growing in the body, but in the case of coeliac disease, one of the antibodies thinks that gluten is something that will cause illness. Doctors can also look into the patient's intestines with a camera on a tube called an endoscope. This can show if the intestines are being or have been damaged, because of coeliac disease.

– The delightful Malibu Rum logo, with palm trees casting their slender shadows on the sunset, is the well-known label for a famous rum brand. It's enough to glimpse at it once and you'll either feel a strong urge to drop everything and go on vacation, or, depending on how powerful your imagination is, you'll already feel the taste of pina coladas. The reason this rum brand seems destined to be used in making those lovely Puerto Rican cocktails is the fact that it's not just plain rum that goes in the bottle, but also natural coconut extract. While it's true that this might narrow the options – you won't be able to use it in making mojitos, for example – it's also true that it just tastes wonderful. Even if you don't make coladas out of it, it's flavorful enough to just have it on its own, straight out of the bottle (and the alcohol content is just 21% percent, so it's not too strong either). Cheers!
– Historically, the drink was engineered precisely to simplify the making of pina colada cocktails for bartenders, but after a while it got so popular on its own that the production moved to Barbados and the quality of the ingredients used has also improved. Nowadays the white bottles can be found in any serious liquor section of bigger supermarkets, and the advertising campaigns that promote the drink portray Caribbean people chilling as opposed to the stereotypical stressed Western lifestyle. The motto behind the drink's ads is "Seriously easy going".

LAS VEGAS — This was not the O.J. Simpson of old.
His wrists shackled, eyes reddened and husky voice cracking, the fallen football star -- who famously was acquitted of double murder in Los Angeles -- was sentenced Friday to up to 33 years in prison for robbing a pair of memorabilia dealers. He will be eligible for parole in nine years.
Surprising even Judge Jackie Glass, Simpson delivered a tearful five-minute apology to a packed courtroom down the street from the casinos and pawnshops of downtown Las Vegas.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all of it," Simpson said, in a moment that may have marked the end of a saga that the nation has watched for years: Simpson's journey from gridiron icon to social pariah after the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. He was acquitted of their slayings in 1995, but a civil jury in 1997 found Simpson liable in their deaths.

I'm a little late to the party on this one, but when I found Miranda van Dijk's Hidden Memories collection on Poppytalk, I had to re-post. The Netherlands-based jewelry designer scans old photos and prints them on cotton fabric leaves, which are then turned into pins or necklaces.
I love how the images take a little while to appear when you first look at them. Wouldn't these make a great gift for a parent or grandparent? You can find Miranda's Etsy shop here.

The newest 'Noles are approaching one month on campus and fall camp is just around the corner — and with new players and a new season comes new jersey numbers.
Below is a look at the numbers that have been assigned to each new FSU football player.
Newcomer jersey numbers
Jesus Wilson, 3
Levonte Whitfield, 9
E.J. Levenberry, 10
John Fanklin III, 11
Matthew Thomas, 12
Jalen Ramsey, 13
Ryan Green, 24
Marquez White, 27
Nate Andrews, 29
Tyrell Lyons, 36
Desmond Hollin, 43
Ira Denson, 55
Ryan Hoefeld, 59
Richy Klepal, 72
Wilson Bell, 78
Isaiah Jones, 84
Jeremy Kerr, 85
Davarez Bryant, 91
Keith Bryant, 95
Jesus Wilson, true freshman, wide receiver
Jersey number: 3
He wore it last year: EJ Manuel and Justin Bright
Number note: It may take a while to get used to not seeing No. 3 under center after Manuel wore the trey for five years at FSU and is now wearing it for the Buffalo Bills. But Wilson will do his best to give No. 3 a new meaning as he uses his speed and athleticism on the outside at wide receiver. Interestingly, we may see No. 3 matched up versus No. 3 during fall camp as sophomore cornerback Ronald Darby switched from No. 13 this off-season and will surely line up one-on-one against Wilson at some point during pre-season practices.
Levonte "Kermit" Whitfield, true freshman, wide receiver
Jersey number: 9
He wore it last year: Clint Trickett and Karlos Williams
Number note: Trickett's decision to transfer to West Virginia at the conclusion of spring practices created the opportunity for an offensive player to snatch up No. 9 and Whitfield, who may be college football's fastest player, becomes the first FSU wide receiver to wear the number since Richard Goodman. Of course, no jersey number is more famous among 'Noles pass catchers — remember a guy named Peter Warrick? Yeah, No. 9 looked pretty good on him. Here's another situation where No. 9 (Whitfield) may match up against No. 9 (Williams) during practices. It's also interesting to note that Whitfield is expected to make a mark on special teams but won't be able to at the same time as Williams, who is a standout kick returner, since he wears the same number.
E.J. Levenberry, true freshman, linebacker
Jersey number: 10
He wore it last year: Nick Moody
Number note: Like Warrick's No. 9 to wide receivers, No. 10 is special among FSU linebackers. Having been worn by none other than Derrick Brooks back in the day, it carries a certain amount of tradition for the position. No. 10 has also been famously worn by Dan Kendra, Stanford Samuels and Geno Hayes.
John Franklin III, true freshman, quarterback
Jersey number: 11
He wore it last year: Sean Maguire and Vince Williams
Number note: Maguire made the off-season switch to No. 10, thus opening up No. 11 for Florida State's newest quarterback. No. 11 has consistently been a quarterback number at FSU with such signal-callers as Drew Weatherford, Jared Jones, Casey Weldon and Rick Stockstill all wearing the double one.
Matthew Thomas, true freshman, linebacker
Jersey number: 12
He wore it last year: Jarred Haggins
Number note: Haggins is still wearing No. 12 on offense but No. 12 on defense makes its return after being previously worn in the linebacker corps by Nigel Carr.
Jalen Ramsey, true freshman, defensive back
Jersey number: 13
He wore it last year: Ronald Darby
Number note: Just like last year, No. 13 will be worn by a true freshman defensive back that also excels on the track. Darby's switch to No. 3 after his rookie year provides the chance for the highly-hyped two-sport star Ramsey to wear No. 13 — a jersey number that has been worn in the past by 'Noles Dexter Carter, Danny Kanell, Snoop Minnis, Antonio Cromartie and Nigel Bradham.
Ro'Derrick Hoskins, true freshman, linebacker
Jersey number: 18
He wore it last year: Dustin Hopkins
Number note: Perhaps no number on the roster will take more getting used to seeing on someone else than No. 18, which the gold-footed Hopkins wore the past four years. For Hoskins, the No. 18 hasn't been worn on defense since defensive back J.R. Bryant sported it from 2004-07.
Ryan Green, true freshman, running back
Jersey number: 24
He wore it last year: Lonnie Pryor and Terrence Smith
Number note: While FSU fans — and coaches, for that matter — are still coping with the loss of the always-reliable Pryor to graduation, No. 24 will at least remain in the backfield where Green has the talent and potential to be a very special tailback in the FSU offense. Other Seminoles runners to have worn No. 24 in the past include Rock Preston and Jeff Chaney.
Marquez White, true freshman, defensive back
Jersey number: 27
He wore it last year: Xavier Rhodes
Number note: No pressure for White, right? Just taking over a number that Rhodes wore for four seasons while transforming himself from a raw wide-receiver prospect coming out of high school into a first-round draft selection at cornerback earlier this year. No. 27 is a pretty traditional number for defensive backs as it has also been worn by Terrell Buckley, Tay Cody and Claudius Osei.
Nate Andrews, true freshman, defensive back
Jersey number: 29
He wore it last year: N/A
Number note: After being out of rotation for a season, No. 29 is back on a scholarship player for the first time since Eric Beverly wore it in 2011 before his career was cut short because of injuries. Andrews becomes the first defensive back to wear No. 29 since Michael Ray Garvin wore those digits from 2005-08.
Tyrell Lyons, true freshman, linebacker
Jersey number: 36
He wore it last year: N/A
Number note: After a two-seasons drought, No. 36 is back on a scholarship player for the first time since Jarred Haggins wore it for a year in 2010. Recent history suggest success for a linebacker that wears this number, as Dekoda Watson previously wore No. 36 from 2006-09 before being drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Desmond Hollin, true junior, defensive end
Jersey number: 43
He wore it last year: N/A
Number note: Carradine and Markus White made names (and NFL pay checks) for themselves wearing numbers in the 90s after signing with FSU after successful stints as junior-college defensive ends and Hollin is hoping to do the same with a number in the 40s. Nigel Terrell was the last scholarship player to wear No. 43 but it was just for a year before he switched to No. 28. Before Terrell, it was the current starting kicker Carolina Panthers: Graham Gano.
Ira Denson, true freshman, offensive lineman
Jersey number: 55
He wore it last year: Jacobbi McDaniel
Number note: Two of Madison County's finest wearing the same number and going to battle in the trenches each day at practice? I like it. Just like his new teammate (they didn't attend Madison County High School together), Denson will wear No. 55 for the 'Noles and will be making his debut for FSU while McDaniel will be making his return after an ankle injury cost him all of the 2012 season. Hide the women and children when those two clash on the practice fields this August.
Ryan Hoefeld, true freshman, offensive lineman
Jersey number: 59
He wore it last year: Henry Orelus
Number note: No. 59 remains on the offensive line where Hoefeld takes over the number after Orelus graduated and elected to not return for a final year of eligibility.
Richy Klepal, true freshman, offensive lineman
Jersey number: 72
He wore it last year: Dan Foose
Number note: Klepal gets No. 72 after enrolling early. In the past, this number has been worn by such Seminoles as Pat Tomberlin, Brett Williams, Ron "Lucky" Lunford and Budd Thacker.
Wilson Bell, true freshman, offensive lineman
Jersey number: 78
He wore it last year: N/A
Number note: Not since Matt Hardrick in 2006 has a scholarship player worn No. 78. That changes with Bell's addition to the lineup.
Isaiah Jones, true freshman, wide receiver
Jersey number: 84
He wore it last year: Rodney Smith
Number note: Another jersey number that is switching student-athletes but remaining at the same position, No. 84 will also remain on a tall, lanky wide receiver. Smith wore No. 84 for four seasons while standing 6-foot-5 and Jones will begin his career wearing that same number and standing 6-foot-4.
Jeremy Kerr, true freshman, tight end
Jersey number: 85
He wore it last year: N/A
Number note: No. 85 wasn't worn by a scholarship player last season but was worn for several years before the 2012 campaign by Ja'Baris Little. It remains at tight end with Kerr taking his high school number.
Eddie Goldman, true sophomore, defensive tackle
Jersey number: 90
He wore it last year: Moses McCray
Number note: Goldman is the lone returning player on the list but worth mentioning because his off-season jersey-number switch didn't occur until the spring game and some might have missed it. Unlike fellow number switchers Reggie Northrup (No. 29 to 5), Ukeme Eligwe (No. 16 to 52), Maguire and Justin Shanks (No. 94 to 92) and early-enrollee freshmen Freddie Stevenson (No. 4) and DeMarcus Walker (No. 44) that had the same jersey all spring, Goldman wore his familiar No. 81 until the final day of practices when he made the permanent switch in time for the Garnet and Gold Game.
Davarez Bryant, true freshman, defensive end
Jersey number: 91
He wore it last year: Tank Carradine
Number note: FSU coaches have high hopes for the still-raw Bryant as they hope one day he can resemble the type of player that starred in No. 91 the previous two seasons: Carradine.
Keith Bryant, true freshman, defensive tackle
Jersey number: 95
He wore it last year: Bjoern Werner
Number note: Bryant takes over the number that Werner wore for three seasons at defensive end before becoming a 2013 first-round NFL Draft pick. No. 95 has previously been worn by defensive linemen Kevin McNeil, Chauncey Davis and Kamerion Wimbley, among others.

A couple days ago, while working at the computer, Erin invited me to pause, and listen to Mary Oliver reading her poem:
Mornings at Blackwater
For years, every morning,
I drank
from Blackwater Pond.
It was flavored with oak leaves and also, no doubt,
the feet of ducks.
And always it assuaged me
from the dry bowl of the very far past.
What I want to say is
that the past is the past,
and the present is what your life is,
and you are capable
of choosing what that will be,
darling citizen.
So come to the pond,
or the river of your imagination,
or the harbor of your longing,
and put your lips to the world.
And live
your life.
From Red Bird
I had read the poem before, had listened to Mary reading it before – but always, with poetry and life, the one who was sitting and listening to it in that moment had never heard it, not quite in that way. The goosebumps came freshly and uniquely.
"What I want to say is
that the past is the past,
and the present is what your life is,
and you are capable
of choosing what that will be,
darling citizen."
That line has been with me the last few days as a reminder…a question…
Where do I hold back from putting my lips to the world and living my life?
Where am I replaying, or re-investing in dynamics and stories of my past that are no longer life-giving?
I am reminded of the great passage from The Once and Future King:
"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then – to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn."
-T.H. White
We all have our conditioning, our DNA, our unique family history, our resume´ of major screw-ups and successes, the traces of growing up in our culture…and we have have the capacity to not be bound by these.
We can always learn, we can open to presence, we can come to the ponds or the rivers of our imaginations, the harbors of our longings, and live our lives…
p.s. We still have some space for our Awareness Through Stillness and Movement workshop on Saturday…click here to join us.

Thanks to this AAS post, I went well informed at Nokia Care (Romania), but they promptly confirmed they had the issue in the database so I should just leave the phone for the 15 days.
After missing my Xenon flash exactly through the holidays, using an iPhone as a dumbphone throughout, trying Skype's 'Own number' on a tablet, the 808 is back and looks like it's fixed!
The test in my case was reading news while commuting by subway, and there was always a hang, now for about 5 days nothing was wrong!
I encourage every 808 owner out there to take his phone to Nokia Care, because shortly you will feel the need to install a custom firmware, since the updates will be slowed down.. :D

Pellegrino was a serious contender for the character of Castiel in the fourth season of Supernatural before Eric Kripke chose to cast Misha Collins in the role. Mark instead landed the role of Lucifer for the 5th season of the show.
In June 2006, Mark was featured in an interview article in the Quarterly Newsletter of Playhouse West for his appearance in the film The Number 23, which starred fellow PW alumnus Jim Carrey.
Mark has been involved with the Notre Dame Workshop and Bob Hoover.
In 1989, Mark appeared as himself in the Hulk Hogan tribute video, Hulkamania 4.
Pellegrino was directed by Playhouse West founder and co-teacher Jeff Goldblum in Little Surprises. Also, he acted with Goldblum in the 1997 film The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
Along with TV actors Nestor Carbonell (Lost), Wentworth Miller (Prison Break), Kathryn Morris (Cold Case) among others, Mark is featured in the "Playhouse West Students At Work" section of Playhouse West School's website.
In between auditioning for roles in 1991, Pellegrino worked for a while as canvasser for the California chapter of NARAL Pro-Choice America.
Mark, who was featured in Lost's season five finale along with series regulars Naveen Andrews (Sayid) and Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet), also appeared with the two actors in the "The Price" episode of the short-lived 2001 ABC series The Beast.
Mark engages in several forms of martial arts such as Karate, Judo, Ju-Jitsu, kickboxing, and professional Thai boxing.
His first appearance in a feature film was in the 1987 Whoopi Goldberg movie, Fatal Beauty.
Pellegrino underwent actors' training at North Hollywood Playhouse West, where he himself taught students some time after.
In 1992, Mark was part of the stunts team for the action movie Mission of Justice starring Brigitte Nielsen and Jeff Wincott.

Mark Pellegrino: With experience, I learned to either do what a director asks me to fully, or politely sit down and say, 'Here's what I think.' You end up being more satisfied with your work when you do that.
Mark Pellegrino: (on his admiration for "The Number 23" co-star Jim Carrey and their similarity on both being perfectionists) ...someone who makes 20 or 30 million a movie deals with the same insecurities, is fallible and can be unsure about what's happening. Even if you're older and wiser, you can still tend to idealize a person and think they can do anything. Not that you are reassured at their lack of anything, but at their humanity.
Mark Pellegrino: (advice to acting students) What I've loved in certain actors like Jeff Bridges, Naomi Watts, and Philip Hoffman is something I'd like to transmit to the students; it's a childlike willfulness to do and play. You develop a technique to the point it becomes a part of you, but you must never cling to a technique. In the end you just let go and do. I don't care how good a technician you are, if you can't play, you're done.
Mark Pellegrino: Acting is always on a case-by-case basis, with the only thing governing you is trying to get to the truth.
Mark Pellegrino: People will treat you like you're invisible if that's the way you treat yourself.

SACRAMENTO – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday appointed a USC English professor and author as California's next poet laureate.
Carol Muske-Dukes founded the school's graduate program in literature and creative writing. She has written seven books of poetry, four novels and two collections of essays.
Her most recent work, "Sparrow," was a National Book Award finalist. She also founded and taught in a creative writing program at a women's prison on Riker's Island in New York.
The poet laureate works with the California Arts Council to promote poetry, especially among children.
The council takes nominations and recommends four candidates to the governor, who made his announcement Thursday.
"Carol Muske-Dukes is a distinguished writer who has greatly influenced the world of literary arts in California and throughout the world," said Muriel Johnson, director of the arts council.
The position comes with a $10,000 stipend over the two-year term.
The state Senate must approve the appointment of Muske-Dukes, 62, who replaces poet laureate Al Young.
The rotating position was created in 2001.

Six Middlebury College football players have earned All-East Region honors from D3football.com. Junior quarterback Donald McKillop (Poway, Calif.) and junior tight end David Reed (New Canaan, Conn.) earned second team honors, while seniors James Millard (Greenwich, Conn.) Eric Kamback (Mahwah, N.J.) Dan Haluska (Wellesley, Mass.) and Stuart Lindberg (Perkasie, Pa.) earned third-team honors. The group helped lead the Panthers to a 5-3 mark this season, winning their last four games of '09.
McKillop earns a spot on the second-team after being named the NESCAC Offensive Player of the Year. The junior quarterback had a record-breaking season, ending the year with Middlebury and NESCAC single-season records for completions (262), attempts (405), yards (2873), touchdown passes (22), and total offense (2967 yards). He also holds all 10 Middlebury single-season and career passing records as a junior. McKillop is currently ranked first in the nation in completions/game with 32.75, while ranking second with 359.1 passing yards/contest. He ended the season as the league's top rated quarterback, owning a 136.8 efficiency rating. The junior was second on the team with 94 rushing yards with a pair of touchdowns on the ground. He also holds Middlebury single-game records for completions (47), attempts (74) and yards (438).
Joining McKillop on the second-team was Reed, who had a break-out season at tight end, starting all eight games and earning second-team All-NESCAC honors. He finished the season second on the team with 40 catches for 450 yards, earning a touchdown. The junior had some big games this season, including an 11-catch, 105-yard performance in Middlebury's win over Trinity. He also had a 100-yard game earlier in the year with nine catches at Amherst.
Millard, a third-team choice, made his first appearance on the NESCAC squad as a receiver and his third-straight first-team appearance as a return specialist. He completed his senior season with 3,333 yards of total offense in his career. He is a two-time ('07 & '08) All-NESCAC selection as a specialist, ranking third in the league with 149.1 yards of total offense/game. The senior became a key receiver this season for the Panthers, setting a new school record with 64 receptions to place him second in the NESCAC with 8.0/game. His 748 yards receiving were also second in the league, while he caught three touchdown passes. Millard earned over 100 yards in five games this season, including 148 yards on 13 catches in a win over Hamilton.
Kamback made the third-team after earning second-team NESCAC honors for the second straight season. After finishing second in the league in tackles a year ago, Kamback took over the top spot this season with 12.9 tackles/game. He earned 43 solo and 63 assisted tackles this season, to go along with four tackles for lost yardage. Kamback also recorded a sack and four pass break-ups, while recording a fumble caused. Kamback tied the school record twice this season with mammoth 20-tackle performances against Williams and Tufts. His 103 tackles this season were third-most in Middlebury single-season history, as he ends his career with 227 tackles to finish fourth on the school's all-time list.
Haluska was a second-team All-NESCAC choice, earning a spot on the All-East third-team. The safety finished the season tied for the league-lead with .62 interceptions/game, finishing the year with five picks, second-most in a season at Middlebury. He tied the school-record a year ago with three picks in a game and ends his career with eight interceptions to finish tied for fourth on the school's all-time list. Haluska earned 41 total tackles this season, including five for lost yardage and four break-ups. He ends his career with 101 total tackles and 14 pass break-ups.
Lindberg represents Middlebury's offensive line as a third-team honoree after earning second-team All-NESCAC honors. He helped to protect McKillop, allowing the Panthers to boast the nation's third most effective passing game at 373 yards/game. The team ranked fourth in the league with just 2.0 sacks allowed/game, while leading the league with 450.5 yards of total offense/contest.

Seriously, what's not to love?! (Okay, apart from the misspelling of night... :-D)
Late Last Nite was created during the recent 14-day AdventureJam, and it was selected as one of three judge's picks when the competition ended. Version 1.2 represents our effort to cram all the content into the game that was initially sacrificed to meet the 14-day deadline.
Players will join our protagonist Morgan as she stumbles through a series of bizarre fantasy settings -- a mer-pirate lagoon, a junk food forest, and a steampunk vampire nightclub -- in search of three missing relics. Essentially, it's a surreal comedy that blurs the lines between reality and drunken fantasy.
Version 1.2 adds new characters, new puzzles, tons of new interactions, a remastered soundtrack, and improved animations.
Late Last Nite is available for free download (PC and Mac) at http://latelastnite.net/

The first Super Bowl was played on Sunday, January 15, 1967, when the Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-10, at Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles. Green Bay led 14-10 at halftime before pulling away for the easy win. Packers quarterback Bart Starr was named Most Valuable Player.
The game was officially called the AFL-NFL World Championship in 1967 but was renamed Super Bowl I when the NFL officially adopted the Super Bowl name. The game was the result of a merger agreement between the NFL and the rival American Football League. From 1960 to 1966, the two leagues played separate championship games.

Chinese security guards allegedly brawled with Cambodian workers at the Kamchay dam, in Kampot province, at the weekend after accusing them of stealing electrical wire.
Mom Buth, chief of the Trapaing Klang commune in Chhouk district, said yesterday the fight between the workers and several security guards had erupted on Saturday after more than 30 metres of electrical wire was cut and stolen.
"The security guards forced the Cambodian workers to stop. But they did not, and they fought. No one got seriously wounded. Maybe they did not understand [each other's language]," Mom Buth said.
The company gave in to demands from about 100 villagers for compensation of US$400 per victim, but turned over to the police a couple of workers suspected of stealing the wire, oil and batteries.
"The Chinese nationals agreed to compensate them US$400 each and the problem ended," Mom Buth said.
Chouk district police chief Prom Veasn said no one had been arrested over the incident.

Internet Trolling being punished with Jail now in the U.K. dictatorshipby THEUNHIVEDMIND, theunhivedmind.com
September 13th 2011
Reading man jailed for dead girl 'trolling' insults
Natasha MacBryde threw herself under a train after being bullied
A Berkshire man has been jailed for posting abusive messages online about a schoolgirl after she committed suicide.
Sean Duffy, 25, of Reading, was handed an 18-week sentence for posts on social networking sites about Worcestershire teenager Natasha MacBryde.
He previously pleaded guilty at Reading Magistrates' Court to sending indecent or offensive communications.
Police said Duffy also posted abuse about dead teenagers in Northumberland, Gloucestershire and Staffordshire.
Duffy, of Grovelands Road, admitted two offences of "trolling" a term used to describe the trend of anonymously seeking to provoke outrage by posting insults and abuse online.
Being bullied
They related to Facebook and YouTube posts about Miss MacBryde, 15, from Bromsgrove, who Duffy had never met.
He was traced by police through information from his internet service provider and arrested.
Miss MacBryde had thrown herself under a train in February after being bullied.
Duffy subsequently posted anonymous messages on a remembrance page – "Monday 14th February will always be remembered as Tasha MacBryde day" – set up by her 17-year-old brother James to allow friends and family to pay their respects to the teenager.
In one of the posts he called her a slut. He also posted a video on YouTube, entitled Tasha the Tank Engine, showing the children's character Thomas the Tank Engine with Miss MacBryde's face.
Jo Belsey, prosecuting, said the family were "understandably outraged, disgusted and hurt".
In a statement read to the court, her father Andrew MacBryde said he "could not believe anyone could stoop to such depths" after his son told him of the online posts.
He added that Duffy's actions had "added to the horror of dealing with the death of their beautiful daughter".
The magistrates were also asked to consider three other cases when sentencing Duffy, who the court heard suffers with alcohol problems and has Asperger's syndrome.
Given Asbo
He had also posted offensive messages about Lauren Drew, 14, of Gloucestershire, who was found dead after suffering a suspected epileptic seizure, Hayley Bates, 16, of Staffordshire, who died in a car crash, and Jordan Cooper, 14, who was stabbed to death in Northumberland.
On Mother's Day he posted a message on an online memorial page to Lauren reading: "Help me mummy, it's hot in hell".
Duffy also produced an image of Hayley with crosses on her eyes and red marks on her face. He also wrote explicit messages to Hayley's sister Heather.
The family of stabbing victim Jordan had also seen abusive messages directed at the youngster on an online memorial and a YouTube video defacing an image of the teenager.
Sean Duffy had never met the teenagers he posted messages about
Magistrates also gave Duffy an Asbo, banning him from using social networking sites for five years.
Outside court, Lauren's father Mark Drew said: "Lauren didn't deserve this.
"Seeing him in court was really hard. I was so angry.
"Lauren was my only daughter and I worshipped the ground she walked on.
"This person hid behind the computer screen with no feeling."
Mr Drew urged Facebook to do more to prevent the website being misused, adding that it was "a wonderful thing if used right".
Carol Gelder, Lauren's mother, told the BBC: "It was quite frustrating because we couldn't stop it. We didn't know how to stop this person.
"With the pain we were going through anyway we didn't anticipate that we'd have to deal with this as well.
"I remember going up lying next to her and just crying and thinking I can't protect her from this."
Lance Whiteford, mitigating, said Duffy had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at an early age and one of the characteristics was an inability to judge the reaction of others.
He said Duffy had also struggled with alcohol problems and lived "a miserable existence".
Duffy had no previous convictions but had received one caution for a similar offence.
Paul Warren, chairman of the magistrates' bench, said: "This case serves to illustrate the harm and damage done by the malicious misuse of social networking sites."
Sherry Adhami, of the charity Beatbullying, said: "Today's ruling is a monumental move towards bullying and cyberbullying being taken more seriously and sends a strong message to society that bullying, whether online or offline, is not going to be tolerated.
"It's time that stopping bullying at the source is placed higher on the government's agenda."

Sorry for being so late with this post. I've been debating whether to write about this pie or skip to week's recipe. Then I thought you might want to know what I did to the pie so I forged ahead. I didn't have any chocolate at my disposition (the good stuff – the type of chocolate that's worthy of a Rose recipe) but still wanted pie so here I present you with pecan pie. Not any old pecan pie but the best, most delicious pecan pie I've had so far.
What makes it so delicious? Where does one start! The fragrance? The texture? Of course, its flavour! I can't quite identify the factors that make this pie such a winner but it doesn't matter (it doesn't help that I'm typing this during a post-lunch slump…I need to take a nap asap).
My notes:
- Again, didn't have any decent chocolate, so, not a mud turtle pie (not even a little bit)
- I opted for doubling the quantities of nuts and increasing the sauce by 50%
- I added a bit of whisky to the sauce
- Half way through I found out I didn't have enough pecans so I added some walnuts
- This pie really needed more salt for flavours to pop
- Very discerning pecan-pie-enthusiast of a husband prefers the pecans whole and pre-roasted so I left them un-chopped and roasted them in the oven until light golden
- I could have baked the pie a further 5-10 minutes but my thermometer indicated that the filling had reached the optimal temperature
- I thought I was going to detest eating a wet pecan pie but now I'm glad this was as moist as it was…so, so very good
- Don't let this pie hang around the house or you will eat it all (I'm dead serious)
That's all this week! I'l be back next week when I'll write before lunch!

This is my second trip to Sycamore Springs, our second trip for an anniversary outing. The first time we stayed in a large cottage, which ended up being right on the very busy, noisy road that runs through the resort. This time we stayed in one of the king suites; through email, we requested to be as far from the road as possible. I never heard back but apparently they weren't able to grant that request since we didn't end up in a room far away from the road. If you have a place to ask for requests, then it would be a good policy to respond OR grant the request, or maybe both?
We arrived in Avila Beach/SLO early and were able to get into the room about an hour early; that was nice!
Several days prior to our arrival I made a phone call to the resort to request a late check out. The reservation agent was very accommodating and was able to promise a noon check out, which was okay since it was just enough to be able to take a quick morning walk, have a last hot tub soak, eat a leisurely breakfast in the hotel restaurant and get on our way back to Santa Barbara. He was pleasant and said to call the front desk on our checkout day to see if we could get an even later checkout; he said it depended on how busy the resort was going to be on that Sunday night. When we arrived they said they had NO record of that call, would NOT accommodate a noon check out but if we wanted, we could call in the morning and request it again. In the morning, guess what—no noon check out. That is bad, horrible customer service! Bad enough that it changed the tone of my review and how I will relate my experience to others. They should have never made the promise in the first place and, given we were there for under 24 hours but spent almost $1000 (on a room, dinner and spa treatments), you think they would have granted that small insignificant request - a request that they had ALREADY previously promised would be accommodated by the way. Oh well, obviously a management issue. As an aside, on the advice of someone in reservations, we reserved everything separately when in fact had we done the spa package special advertised, we would have saved a few dollars. That was no big deal, just worth paying attention to if you are doing room, dinner, breakfast, and spa while you are there.
Dinner and Spa: We ate dinner at the restaurant and got 1.5-hour spa treatments as well (not including 30 minute pre-soak in a hot tub). I will do a more in depth review of the restaurant, The Gardens of Avila, under a restaurant review. For here suffice it to say it was pleasant, satisfactory and very convenient. We would eat there again if we were staying in the resort. After dinner we had a Swedish massage and a hot stone message. Both were good, not great. My wife mentioned that the massage therapist asked if she had any special requests of where to focus, but then disregarded those requests. Again, bad customer service to create expectations when you cannot or do not intent to follow through. This seems to be a theme for the Sycamore Springs experience. My wife said the hot stone massage was still relaxing and enjoyable. All in all we had a nice time. We would use the spa services there again if we were staying in the resort.

Eagle Rock Entertainment
All Access Rating: B+
Predicting what the erratic Barrett would do by then was an exercise in futility, his mind scrambled from taking too much acid. In 2001, a documentary titled "The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story," which included Shirley's observations, examined Barrett's sad decline through a somewhat stodgy, if well-arranged and professionally edited, mosaic of vintage video snippets, performance clips and promotional videos, and poignant, candid interviews with those who knew him best.
Now reissued by Eagle Rock Entertainment as a two-disc DVD set with complete, unedited Q&A sessions with Roger Waters, Nick Mason, David Gilmour and Richard Wright and Graham Coxon's bonus cover of "Love You," off The Madcap Laughs, this version of "The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story" fleshes out what was already a well-rounded, in-depth portrait of an artist whose mind was set adrift long before he shuffled off this mortal coil.
Told chronologically, it's a concise and insightful look at the rise of Pink Floyd as inspired psychedelic-rock oddballs, these experimental delinquents led by a cult figure in Barrett, whose ability to make the mundane seem strangely magical led to wonderfully mad musical creations that set the band on an artful journey of imagination and wonder. Barrett, though, would only travel so far with them.
Amid the expected gushing tributes, the sense of loss and wasted talent, and the behind-the-scenes peek into Barrett's life beyond the Floyd, "The Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett Story" – Barrett would surely balk at such a pedestrian title, as well as the film's bland narration – is a focused examination of his impact on the band and popular music in general. A kindred spirit, Robyn Hitchcock, admires his genius from afar, offering his personal thesis on why Barrett still matters. There's also a detailed analysis of the song "Bike," so blissfully strange and childlike and yet crazed in its manic musique concrete episode, from Pink Floyd's psychedelic masterpiece Piper at the Gates of Dawn, that gazes at the Barrett's idiosyncratic artistry and shakes its head at its audacity. Fading remembrances, both happy and still troubled by his disintegration, flow like rivers of colorful paint from witnesses of Barrett's bedraggled character, his unique vision and his growing detachment, which led to a hermit-like existence and self-imposed musical exile until his death.
At the end, there's still emptiness. What remains is a wide gap in our understanding of how Barrett lived during all those years of radio silence, his story a frustrating mystery with an unsatisfying resolution. And yet, as is argued in the film, perhaps Barrett was fated to burn brightly, just before having his candle snuffed out.

The Award of Academic Excellence Committee would like to announce a design contest for
a banner that will be used in future ceremonies. The banner is 22 inches by 4 feet. The design
should include the words "Award of Academic Excellence", but other text and images may
be included. Up to three colors may be used. The design should not be too intricate
as the banner will be created out of vinyl with the vinyl cutter in the Maker Space.
Text and graphics do not have to be perfect, a rough idea of what you would like is
all that is required. See Miss Sherrard for a template for your design. Designs should
be submitted to Miss Sherrard by Monday, October 30/17. The winning design
will be chosen by the Award of Academic Excellence Committee.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on Thursday said it would shift production of Ram heavy-duty pickup trucks from Mexico to Michigan in 2020, a move that lowers the risk to the automaker's profit should US President Donald Trump pull the nation out of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Fiat Chrysler said it would create 2,500 jobs at a factory in Warren, Michigan, near Detroit and invest US$1 billion in the facility.
The Mexican plant is to be "repurposed to produce future commercial vehicles" for sale in global markets, the company said.
Mexico has free-trade agreements with numerous nations.
Fiat Chrysler chief executive Sergio Marchionne a year ago raised the possibility that the automaker would move production of its heavy-duty pickups to the US, saying tax and trade policy would influence the decision.
If the US exits the NAFTA, it could mean that automakers would pay a 25 percent duty on pickup trucks assembled in Mexico and shipped to the US.
About 90 percent of the Ram heavy-duty pickups made at Fiat Chrysler's Saltillo plant in Mexico are sold in the US or Canada, company officials said.
Negotiators for the US, Mexico and Canada are scheduled to meet later this month for another round of talks on revising the NAFTA.
US Vice President Mike Pence praised Fiat Chrysler's announcement.
"Manufacturing is back. Great announcement. Proof that this admin's AMERICA FIRST policies are WORKING!" Pence tweeted.
Chrysler raised its output in Mexico by 39 percent last year to 639,000 vehicles, according to Mexican government data.
That made Fiat Chrysler the third-largest producer of vehicles in Mexico last year, after Nissan Motor Co and General Motors Co.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Mexico spokesman Miguel Ceballos said there was no plans to either reduce or grow the workforce in Mexico.
Meanwhile, Toyota Motor Corp and Mazda Motor Corp on Wednesday announced they would build a new US$1.6 billion joint venture auto assembly plant in Alabama, drawing praise from Trump.
"Good news: Toyota and Mazda announce giant new Huntsville, Alabama, plant which will produce over 300,000 cars and SUV's a year and employ 4000 people. Companies are coming back to the US in a very big way. Congratulations Alabama!" Trump tweeted on Wednesday.
Toyota and Mazda join Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz, Honda Motor Co and Hyundai Motor Co in operating factories in Alabama.
Alabama's total incentive package to Toyota and Mazda is to top US$700 million after local incentives are added to what the state offered to land the companies' new US factory.
Huntsville City Council on Thursday approved a US$320 million local incentive package. That was in addition to US$380 million announced by the state in tax abatements, investment rebates and the construction of a worker training facility.
Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said before the council vote that the joint-venture factory, which is to employ about 4,000 people, would bring economic benefits to the region for generations.
"If there ever was a slam-dunk deal, this is a great one," Battle said.
The new plant in Huntsville — already a hub for the region's budding aerospace industry — is to produce 300,000 vehicles per year, a combination of the Toyota Corolla compact car and a new small crossover SUV from Mazda.
Production is targeted to begin by 2021.

Unfaithful starts out making all the right decisions. It avoids the clichés of typical sexy thrillers by emphasizing character over moralizing (or demoralizing) and the psychological over the psychopathic.
Richard Gere and Diane Lane are Edward and Connie Sumner the portrait of blissful American success, with lots of money, a gorgeous New York suburban home, a cute young son, Charlie (Erik Per Sullivan Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle), and a good marriage. Edward runs a security company, and Connie takes care of Charlie and the house and shops a lot. On a particularly windy shopping day, Connie is literally blown on top of Paul Martel (Olivier Martinez), a younger, sexy French fellow. Connie skins her knee on Pauls Soho stoop and Paul well, Paul has Band-Aids in his apartment. Does Connie, bleeding, take a cab home or does she accept Pauls invitation to his recklessly arty loft apartment for medicine?
A lesser film would have the affair begin immediately. Paul makes all the right moves and says all the right sexy French things. So the seduction is all the more dangerous as she is lured gradually into adultery. She is married to Richard Gere, after all. Why would she stray? Some men in the audience may be perplexed by the idea of a woman who has everything but still wants more, but, hey, believe it or not, it happens. And for Connie, fantasizing leads to a phone call, which leads to another meeting, which leads to another, which leads to well, you know.
Edward becomes suspicious, has Connie followed, and, unbeknownst to her, discovers the affair. Geres best moment is his visit to Pauls apartment, where Edward meets the Other Man and tries desperately to understand how Connie could do this to him and her family. There is an uncomfortable familiarity between these two men who share the same woman. As Edward looks around at all the places in the dingy apartment he knows Connie has rolled around in, and all Paul knows to do is offer him a drink. Least he can do, right? This scene sensitively maps out the layers of Edwards hurt and appalled surprise, and only thereafter do the true, menacing consequences of Connies betrayal come to fruition.
What follows is a mostly honest and patient cat-and-mouse game that has Connie slowly figuring out what Edward knows and to what extent he is willing to keep and protect her. Director Adrian Lyne is no stranger to compromised sexual morality and obsession, having helmed 9 1/2 Weeks, Fatal Attraction, and Indecent Proposal, giving credibility and style to what could have been, in the hands of a lesser director, soft-core trash. He shows us almost all of the right stuff here in lots of slow, deliberate shots of both spouses searching each others faces for answers, assurance, and safety.
Lane is terrific. Neither her abandon nor her disgrace is entire. While adultery never looked as good as it does with her and the exciting Martinez (in his American debut), we always see that she knows there is a family missing her. There is a fascinating scene on a subway when Connie, on her way home after the first indiscretion, stares pensively ahead, alternately laughing and crying as the delights of the encounter are mixed (in stylish flashback) with the pained gravity of her poor judgment. Lane shows us all we need to see and holds back all that we dont need to see without a single word.
Gere is surprisingly effective if somewhat cornered into the thankless role of the scorned Edward. The first half of the film belongs to Connie, the second to Edward, and Gere is quite good at playing normal and wounded. But the script lets him down in a key confrontation with Connie that, by giving Edward too little to say, steals the gathering momentum weve had to that point. Gere, a minimalist emotional performer, does best when he has time to work himself up, and he doesnt get it here. Thats a shame, because it might have helped the audience buy into the films inevitable but ambiguous ending.
If Enough had premiered on the Lifetime channel, it would have starred Nancy McKeon or Melissa Gilbert or, I dunno, Annie Potts. The female protagonist would have squared off against an abusive Bruce Boxleitner or Ken Olin (or, conceivably, Billy Campbell, of the late TV series Once and Again, who does actually apear in Enough good for you, Billy!), and the script would have probably been smarter and tighter than this tepid Hollywood release.
The story is straight out of a troubled-woman made-for-TV movie of the month, and the dialogue is so clichéd and the characters so two-dimensional that all the audience can do is turn off their brains and await (as promised in the movie trailer, so I am spoiling nothing) the inevitable confrontation and its jaw-crunching, ass-whupping rewards.
Jennifer Lopez plays Slim, an attractive blue-collar waitress. Her life changes when a handsome stranger, Mitch (Campbell), appears to protect her honor against a dubious suitor. Before you know it, were all seven years older and they are married with a daughter. Things seem perfect for Mitch and Slim until she discovers that Mitch has a mistress and a double life. When she confronts him, he punches her and transforms rather instantly into a hateful lout who says things (more or less) like Im a man and youre a woman and I have all the power. Thats the way it will always be. What I say goes. Mitch says this kind of stuff a lot in the movie, and it is disappointing that the audience is expected to believe his 180-degree personality change from Prince Charming into abusive monster.
Anyway, Slims friends conspire quickly to rescue her from her situation, but Mitch is rich and well-connected. He manages to have her credit cards canceled, her accounts frozen, and thugs with knives appear at her every new doorstep. Nobody can seem to help, and an out-of-character visit to a wizened attorney leads her to the following conclusion: Shes screwed. She didnt go to the police when she had the chance and now nothing will stop Mitch from finding her and killing her. However, after weeks and months of running and hiding, Slim has had ENOUGH!
I had never seen a Jennifer Lopez movie before Enough. Shes okay. The script allows her enough concern, protectiveness, and moxie for us to care about her, but there isnt much character to get to know. Billy Campbell does a commendable job keeping Mitch interesting, but screenwriter Nicholas Kazan (Bicentennial Man) doesnt allow him to have any dimension. Hes all leering, selfish animal here. Other good actors Juliette Lewis, Noah Wyle, and Fred Ward are pretty much wasted in thankless, dead-end roles and deserve to be in better movies. The real gem here is Tessa Allen as the daugher, Gracie. Allen is pleasantly unpolished but genuine and believable, and shes spared the fate of most child characters providing agonizing, cutesy-poo comic relief. There is some of that here, but it is kept to an endearing minimum.
Enough is basically a movie about a fight. If you have seen the trailer, you know that all scenes are designed to elicit cheers when that fight finally happens. And for this I will give the film credit: The fight looks terrific. But there is a very cheesy training montage (complete with 1970s Rocky-esque, swanky contender music underscoring listen for it), and Slim really probably wouldnt have time to go from frightened housewife/waitress to expert cat burglar/ninja in the few weeks we see her train. But at this point, we dont care so much about reality as much as we just want to see Mitch get his.
Real abusers apologize, dont they? They promise never to do it again. They are desperate in seeking forgiveness. Thats what makes it difficult to leave an abusing spouse. Thats what makes it heartbreaking. Enough is more of a thriller or action movie than a drama. A drama might have explored how difficult it is to leave someone you love but cant be with anymore. Enough has no interest in the complexities of marriage, survival, or the law. My advice? Stay at home and watch Lifetime or Oxygen for the same quality material. Or, if you find your way to the theater, catch the infinitely more rewarding Unfaithful instead, which actually has something interesting to say about infidelity, relationships, and violence.

A very precious memory that I will forever hold in my heart.
I'm so glad I was able to capture it.
Emma was very excited when she came
into the living room and found Jude laying on the ottoman.
A few minutes later Jude decided he had had enough tummy time
and was letting everyone know by crying. Emma was clearly concerned...
...so this was her attempt at soothing her baby brother.
I love my babies.

This was the first game form 2017 a few weeks back. We both took a lot of infantry, though I as usual went for my armour, and my friend went for shenanigans. It was a relaxing fun game, where I broke my usual rule of fully painted and took a few wip units to try out. Namely an outrider squad and a Land Raider Phobos.
We decided to play a mission we hadn't played before, where each objective marker is randomly rolled at the end of the game to see what it was worth. Anything from negative to positive victory points.With 1500 pts a side, we went for it.
Imperial Fists 1500pts
Praetor in Terminator Armour, Storm Shield, paragon blade, digi lasers
Terminator command squad with storm shields in a Land Raider Phobos (my friend kindly let me have this option)
3 tactical squads in Rhinos
9 Outriders with power axes
Alpha Legion 1500pts
5 Siege Tyrants
2 Tactical sqauds
2 veteran tactical squads with missile launchers
The deployment
Alpha Legion 2nd Turn
Imperial Fists 2nd Turn
Imperials Fists 3rd Turn
Imperial Fists 5th Turn
Imperial Fists 6th Turn
Final victory points.
Alpha Legion: 10
Imperial Fists 7
I know where it went down hill for me, though I was primarily trying out my new units. The bikes were a mixed bag of disappointment again. Though this time they weren't wiped out having achieved nothing, so I can't completely fault them. The Land Raider did a sterling job staying alive to turn 3, surviving all the Krak missiles. Definitely needs a paint job for such a heroic effort.
Close game in the end, and certainly had its swaying moments, but it came through for the Alpha legion in the end. Adalwulf will have his rewenge!
Thanks for looking.

I've been scrapping again. I went to Scrapbooking supplies at Stanbell Road, and saw a gorgeous vintage double layout on the wall. I asked if they were going to do a workshop for it.
A couple of day's later I got a phone call to say they had made up a kit for me. (aren't they just the most wonderful people?) So yesterday I went and collected it.
The photo's I've used are of my maternal grandparents Elizabeth and James Holmes on their wedding day with their witness' (my Nanny and Grandad are the couple on the right as you look at the picture) the other photo is of my husbands paternal grandparents, Archer and Isabelle Huggins.
I'm so very happy with the finished results of this layout. Thankyou very much to Scrapping supplies for putting the kit together for me, as a novice scrapbooker, it's a real help when people give you that high level of service. You will find their web site at: http://www.scrapbooking-supplies.com.au/
Here are my two pages.
Elizabeth Sarah McCosh born 3rd June 1901 at Dunmurry Co Antrim Northern Ireland, married James Holmes born 5th September 1896 at Mirfield Yorkshire England
on 29th December 1920 at Birkenhead Registry Office UK.
The lady who was witness was called Dolly Frame, but I have no name for the Gentleman.
I have no idea when this photo of Nanna and Pop were taken.
It would have been good to know more information about Nanna and Pop, but some records just aren't kept.
Happy Crafting

New Jupiter is a planet located on the Sol II system whose moons were terraformed and colonized in the first human expansion on 145AG. This planet is part of the Galactic Concord. Is a central (core) planet and has its own police force in charge of it and in charge of the whole array of 63 moons that surround the gas giant many of them are terraformed and those who don't are colonized or used as short term mines. The largest planet in the Sol II system, New Jupiter, has long been mined to sustain the space travel that allows the Governing Parliament to maintain control of far-flung colonies. Jupiter's strong magnetic field makes most sensor reading impossible at close range, and gas mines on Jupiter must work 'blind,' although a system of satellites have been manned with laser communication to allow warning of mines after the ill-fated Daedalis Mine was swallowed by the Great Red Storm. Mining of Jupiter has been surpassed by the much safer mines on Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus, leaving the primary value of Jupiter to be that of its surrounding moons. The planet itself isn't colonized, but many of the moons are. All of the moons of Jupiter are used for mining and farming. Some of the moons are as big as other planets like New Pluto or New Mercury, others are small as a mountain. The twelve main moons from bigger mass to smaller mass are:
- Io – The biggest sized moon has a small colony in terms of population but a richer economy with vast fields and cattle that are raised to feed the colonists of all the other moons of New Jupiter. It has been completely terraformed and has a few mayor cities were the cattle and grains are packaged and sent to other moons.
Specific Locations:
- Adrastea – Hundreds of small sized spaceships move around these small terraformed moon, they mine other moons around it and use Adrastea as a central point. The moons around Adrastea are called the Adrastea's Mining Range.
- Amalthea – A processing facility planet, filled with factories, ore processing facilities, gas purification facilities and other industries.
Metis – Weyland-Yutani Corporation controls the majority of the mining installations on this moon.
- Callisto – A mayor packer of inert gasses, the cities of Callisto receives small prospector ships and buys their ores and gases.
Pacifica – Another terra formed moon, is the mayor builder of starships for the Galactech Corporation.
- Camille – Another terraformed moon filled with small cities and a small port for ultralight starships.
- Europa – The city of Metropolita is considered the mayor trader port of all New Jupiter. Many government and administrative issues are solved in the city as it has headquarters of all the mayor corporations that own different moons and planetoids. The population of millions and the size of the city makes this the place visited by tourists when the want to know what New Jupiter is, but this is not a representation of how life in the other moons really is.
- Flammarion – Non-terraformed moon with a port for ultralight and small-sized starships.
The rest of the 51 moons are asteroid sized and shaped and are named with numbers.
- Ganymede – A terra formed moon, is bigger than New Pluto or New Mercury and has a minor port usually a safe harbor for criminals and outlaws. Transport between Ganymede and other mayor moons is constantly performed by small inner system spacecrafts. Is the largest moon circling Jupiter, Ganymede was the last of the moons to be terraformed, using perfected techniques. Ganymede has a sustainable atmosphere of oxygen and nitrogen, prolific plant life transported from earth, and even animals. Ganymede's one ocean is named for astronomer Galileo, and is a habitat for earth's aquatic life, protected by the Governing Parliament. Land masses and the cities built on them (smaller than earth's continents) are named for influential philosophers: Aristotle, Descartes, Marx, Nietzche, Rousseau, Socrates, and Confucius. Space-traffic control on Ganymede controls all traffic in the planet and its moons. Socrates City is home to Ganymede Traffic Control.
- GCS Jovian One Military Platform – Local military base of the Galactic Concord Military
- Marius – The biggest moon of the Adrastea's Mining Range and the only one that has been terraformed of that group (apart from Adrastrea). It has some local mining and farms but is considered more as a step to go to other moons outside the Adrastrea's Mining Range.
- Simon – A huge gas mining facility controlled by independent contractors is installed here and takes advantage of it's proximity to New Jupiter's atmosphere to mine directly from it.
2125.06 – [Orto Purell] Otro de los trabajos que tuve en New Jupiter fue de taxista en Europa. Allí servía de chofer para varias personas. Ellas pedían en la compañía que fuera yo por que los llevaba a lugares donde ningún otro piloto los llevaba. Otros pedían que los llevara a Garymede por que con mi reputación podían entrar y salir sin problemas.
2126.06.06 – Ganymede Traffic Control is a newly constructed and top of the line facility that is in charge of space-traffic control of all traffic in New Jupiter moons, between moons and to other planets of the Sol II System. The Installation of the GTC in Socrates city using an A.I.M., Ganymede Station, has helped to lesser the problems with the more than 5,000 cargo shuttles and mining ships that come and go every day.
2127.03.13 – New Jupiter – [ Dread Alpha Preatorian Morphean 53 ] – The problem with crime in New Jupiter is how big the mining business has grown without control in the last 70 years. Mining permits have been given to big companies and small entrepreneurs that in their race to see any profit are capable of just about anything, from stealing from a neighbor mine to paying a smuggler for stolen supplies and illegal machinery. A raid of the complete planet, moon by moon, looks impossible, but I'm eager to start right now.

Mud and soil washed down the cliff has made enough of a bed of soil for these flowers to grow on, about 15 feet above the beach. The run off from the thin layer of soil has enough in it to sustain the green algae that usually grow in the splash zone - the bit of the beach above the high water mark that gets spray from breaking waves.
More splash zone algae, which is looks like it's getting fertilized by water that has percolated through the cliff and leaks out where the algae stops. The oval shapes in the rocks below the algae are pyritic nodules, of which more later.

A recent Hong Kong case ruled that minority lenders are not entitled to take independent enforcement action (including winding-up proceedings) under APLMA or LMA standard loan documents.
In the case of Charmway Hong Kong Investment Ltd & Ors v Fortunesea (Cayman) Ltd & Ors [2015] HKCU 1717, the Hong Kong Court of First Instances had to determine what enforcement rights for repayment were available to the individual Lenders under the Finance Documents (which were based on LMA Multicurrency Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement).
The developer, known in China as Rightway Real Estate (formerly Dalian Rightway Real Estate), has been in payment default on the already restructured facility since June 2011 and as of 15 October 2013, the total indebtedness under the facility was US$ 612 Million.
The facility was arranged by Goldman in 2007, which subscribed to a large portion and syndicated the rest largely to funds and investment bank special-situation desks.
Frustrated by a series of defaults before and after an early 2011 restructuring deal, a groups of creditors including Goldman-controlled entities started enforcement action in late 2012. This included appointing PwC as receiver and launching a series of judicial battles that wound through BVI, Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and Dalian court houses.
At the time, the enforcement group controlled more than two-thirds of the loan required under the Finance Documents to instruct the Security Agent.
However, by mid-2013, most of the debt was bought up by nine SPVs controlled by Chinese parties Goldman alleges are linked to Rightway founder Fu Yanbin. Fu was an ally of former Chinese leader Bo Xilai.
After buying up more than two-thirds of the debt, the new majority group in June 2013 instructed DB Trustees, the loan agent, to halt enforcement actions, including to remove receiver PwC, which had been in the process of trying to gain control over the operation companies in China.
While arguing that the new majority group's instructions should be disregarded because it was allegedly acting in bad faith, the Goldman group launched winding-up proceedings in the BVI and Cayman Islands, seeking the court appointment of a liquidator over the offshore shareholding vehicles to take up the fight if PwC were removed.
The facility was governed by Hong Kong law and the dispute therefore turned on whether the Minority Lenders had the right to take enforcement proceedings independently under the Finance Documents.
The court commented that the difficulty was that neither the Facility Agreement nor the Intercreditor Agreement dealt directly with the right of an individual Lender to obtain repayment of its portion of the syndicated loan in the Event of Default.
The court interpreted a number of provisions in the Finance Documents, in particular, clause 2.2 of the standard LMA loan documents (which is the same as the APLMA loan documents), upon which the claim of the Minority Lenders was based. In this clause, it was stated that:
- "the rights of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights";
- "a Finance Party may, except as otherwise stated in the Finance documents, separately enforce those rights"; and
- "a debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party is a separate and independent debt".
The Minority Lenders argued that these provisions gave the individual Lender the right to enforce its debt independently.
However, the court ruled otherwise. The court concluded that the Facility Agreement created an aggregated loan rather than aliquot shares and that, this being so, in the absence of an express provision giving individual Lenders a right to take independent enforcement proceedings it was for the Majority Lenders, acting in good faith, to decide what enforcement proceedings to take. The court held that:
- The various provisions in clause 2.2 did not say when, if at all, a debt to an individual Lender would arise. In particular, clause 2.2 did not create, assuming Rightway did not pay in accordance with the Finance Documents, a debt owed to each Lender.
- Under the Event of Default clause, it was the Majority Lenders who were given the power to call for immediate repayment of the loan by instructing the Administrative Agent to make an immediate demand. It followed that no individual Lender could do this.
The judgement did not come as a surprise to the loan market. However, it serves as a reminder to the lenders in syndicated market that syndicated loans may only be enforced in accordance with the wishes of a majority of lenders unless an express provision is specifically agreed.


text: Is having one good radio station in a city the size of Omaha — a city purported to be one of the "best places to live in America" — too much to ask? Apparently, it is. But at least for two-and-a-half hours a week we have New Day Rising on FM radio station KIWR, 89.7 The River. No, NDR is not a new program. It's been around since December 2004. But if you're like me, the last thing you're doing Sunday nights at 9 p.m. is listening to the radio. Thankfully, the people who run The River decided to move NDR to the new time slot of 2:30 p.m. on Sundays, where it's now being discovered by people who live "normal lives." The show's promo calls it, "The future of music. The best deep cuts and the best new tracks." But it's more than that. NDR is the only locally produced broadcast radio show whose purpose is to play, promote and talk about indie rock — or at least the style of indie rock preferred by the show's producer, engineer and host, David Leibowitz. "I'm not trying to out-indie indie music fans," Leibowitz says between songs during last week's show, broadcast from The River's Council Bluffs studios on the campus of Iowa Western Community College. "People who are serious music fans and read all the blogs and Brooklyn Vegan and Pitchfork aren't going to have never heard these songs before. This is for moderate, traditional music fans, some of the regular River listeners or someone who's just casually tuning in." For the same reason I began writing about music some 20-odd years ago, Leibowitz began doing his radio show six years ago: To get free music. "I get too much of it, actually," he says. "Parts of my house look like I'm a hoarder because of the piles of CDs." But he added, "The show is my only connection to the local music community. I'm playing my role." That role involves proudly carrying the banner for College Music Journal-style rock. His playlist for last Sunday afternoon's show included tracks by Middle Brother, Ponderosa, The New Pornographers, Say HI, Tapes 'n' Tapes, The Dears, Men Without Pants, Cold War Kids, P.J. Harvey, King Kahn and the Shrines, Sleigh Bells and Starry Saints. NDR is the first radio show in Omaha to air a track from the upcoming Mogwai album Hardcore Will Never Die. That alone makes it relevant. Besides new music, Leibowitz sprinkles in classic tracks by the likes of Hüsker Dü, Grant Hart, Gang of Four, Radiohead, Buffalo Tom, Wilco and perennial sign-off band Sonic Youth. Like the old-time radio DJs who have long since left this earth, Leibowitz's playlist reflects his personal taste. "I would say (the show) is in the traditional indie rock vein," he says. "There's a resemblance to '80s college rock. I don't want to play stuff that I absolutely don't like. That's just a fact. My taste doesn't match up with Pitchfork, but I'm not concerned about it." You're not likely to hear a Pet Shop Boys or New Order track on NDR. "I'm less inclined to play synthier music," Leibowitz said. "My past is with Hüsker Dü and The Replacements, but I didn't like The Cure in the '80s and I do now. If New Order has a new record out, I would give it a spin, even though New Order doesn't really fit into the format." Another "artificial constraint" is not playing songs you could hear on another radio station. "T. Rex would fit in, but you can hear it on Z-92," he said. Leibowitz there's a variety of indie-flavored Internet radio shows that are just a click away for most fans. What makes NDR unique is its local angle. Leibowitz plays songs by bands that are headed to Omaha to perform in the coming weeks or months, such as Best Coast, Now, Now and Mogwai, along with a handful of local indie bands that are ignored by The River's local-only radio show, Planet O. In addition to the all-stars on the Saddle Creek Records label, Leibowitz has played tracks by Little Brazil, Honey & Darling, It's True and Thunder Power, among others. "I don't play those bands just because they're local, but because their music is of the same quality as the other music on the show," Leibowitz said. Sometimes those tracks even catch the attention of The River's program director, Sophia John. "She acknowledges that there have been records that premiered on New Day Rising that have made it into regular rotation," Liebowitz said. "It's great to see these bands get heard by a wider audience." So, how well is NDR doing in the all-important Arbitron ratings? Leibowitz said he's "blissfully unaware, for the most part. We must be doing well since they keep moving us up to better time slots." Could NDR ever find a regular, daily slot on The River's schedule? Unlikely. Indie music always has been a niche genre that's lived in the cracks between commercial rock and the style of "alternative" screamo goon rock that makes up The River's usual programming. And that's the way it's always been, Leibowitz said. "There's just more of them than us," he said. "It's the nature of being an indie music fan. It's part of the psyche."

Today I`m beginning a series of Candle Clipart pictures, since I`ve had some requests for those. This first one is a great general burning candle clip art image. This one is a simple cream color so it can go well with a wide variety of backgrounds and colors. The melting, dripping wax down the side of the candle adds a nice touch.
