KITTERY, Maine — Make no mistake: Ben Castellano was glad to be named Campbell Conference Class C Player of the Year, an award given annually to the best football player in Western Maine Class C.
But more than that, he was proud of what it signified — for his position, as well as his team.
"I think it means a lot when a lineman can win this award," said Castellano, a 6-foot, 260-pound senior who played right tackle and defensive tackle. "We're not the best-known players, not the halfbacks or quarterbacks, but we do a lot of work every play."
The Traip strongman was honored Sunday night with the John Taglienti Award during a banquet at the Italian Heritage Center in Portland that traditionally follows championship Saturday.
The Rangers (8-2) won a playoff game for the second straight year, but fell two wins short of reaching that Class C championship game, losing at top-seeded Winslow, 7-0, in the regional semifinals earlier this month.
"It's still sad, the last game of my senior year," said Castellano. "I'd give away my Player of the Year, my All-Conference, for one more game."
Castellano is the top example of what these last few Traip teams have built themselves into under the guidance of assistant coach and weight room guru Nate Murphy.
As recently as 2006, the program was mired in a 51-game losing streak. But the last three seasons have seen the Rangers go 22-8 overall, with trips to the regional quarterfinals in 2010, the regional championship game in '11 and the regional semifinals this year.
The engine driving the Rangers during this run has been its big offensive line, anchored by Castellano, a starter since his sophomore year. Seniors Joe Harty and Danny Eddy, and junior Nick Ovington are the other veterans.
"Ben is what we built our program around," said Traip coach Ron Ross. "It's great. He came in, he had size and he hit the weight room hard.
"It's the identity we took on. I loved it because if we wanted a yard, two yards, we could run behind Ben and get it."
In the last two years, feature back Cory Aldecoa has rushed for 1,627 and 1,338 yards behind that big line.
"Without (Ben), I don't think we could have done what we did," said Ross.
"Without them I'm not going anywhere," said Aldecoa.
Castellano garnered some extra recognition in the summer before his junior year when he was named the top performer at an all-class lineman combine in Madison. He bench-pressed 225 pounds 15 times and squatted 315 pounds 30 times, winning both competitions.
He figures to playing football in college next season. He's drawn interest from one Division I program — Sacred Heart — and several others in Division II and III.
Castellano has also been nominated for the Frank J. Graziano Award, which is presented to the top offensive and defensive linemen in Maine. Those awards will be announced Jan. 27.
He was named conference MVP on Sunday. That's an award that's been building since he first started being recognized by opponents as a sophomore.
"I'm not sure what team we were playing," said Castellano. "I remember one of the linemen yelling out, 'I have Ben.' Knowing that the other team knew who I was and singled me out was pretty cool."
Everyone knows who he is now.

Recently I was part of the process as a potential juror in our legal system. Having done this once before, I know there's a ton of waiting around. Or, as seen through blogging iPhoneography eyes, some unique photo opportunities. I made it a mobile project to document what was nearby to the extent that you also may find it interesting, using only my iPhone and WordPress app, and of course, without discussing any elements of any case I or others may or may not be involved in. That said, I'd welcome your thoughts on these photos in the comments, or your thoughts about jury duty in general.
Have you been a juror lately? Without getting into case specifics, what was your experience like?
Queuing at security that morning. Not as bad as the airport, thankfully.
We were chilling in the pool. My usual pool chilling usually includes a cocktail, but hey.
Pretty sure this dude did not move for one solid hour.
More faces of waiting. We were all pretty much wired up via laptops, phones, etc.
Last time I served was two years ago for three days. Meanwhile, my work at the office wasn't getting done, which was sort of a drag. Nevertheless, I'm glad to have done my part in the American judicial system, getting a decent hands-on civics lesson, and some unique blog material for afterward.

C-Span callers hammer home U.S. government's role in aiding Abdulmutallab
Paul Joseph Watson
Tuesday, February 21, 2012
A proponent of the war on terror was left with egg on his face during a recent C-Span appearance when caller after caller hammered home the fact that the underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was allowed to board Delta flight 253 by the U.S. government.
The victim of this 'truth bomb' was Mickey McCarter, a prominent mouthpiece for the military-industrial complex that relies heavily on the manufactured 'war on terror' to the tune of billions of dollars every year. McCarter is a journalist specializing in "homeland security matters" and has also worked for government agencies like the US Navy's Bureau of Naval Personnel and the Defense Contract Management Agency.
After discussing the recent conviction of the underwear bomber with no mention of the fact that he boarded the plane only with the aid of the U.S. government, McCarter faced a barrage of callers who set him straight. The first caller immediately drew attention to Flight 253 passenger Kurt Haskell, an attorney who witnessed a well dressed Indian man force airport officials to let Abdulmutallab board the plane despite the fact that he had no passport and was on a terror watchlist.
"Why would a CIA agent….get that guy on the plane," the caller asked, to which McCarter responded by claiming, "I am not familiar with the story," before erroneously claiming that Abdulmutallab "raised no alarm".
In reality, the State Department was ordered not to revoke Abdulmutallab's visa by "federal counterterrorism officials" even though the accused bomber had known terrorist ties, in addition to the fact that his own father had warned U.S. intelligence officials of the threat posed by Abdulmutallab a month before the attempted attack.
After initially claiming otherwise, the FBI finally had to admit that Kurt Haskell's testimony was true. When Abdulmutallab signaled he wanted to call Haskell as a defense witness, it threatened to blow the whole case wide open. However, within 48 hours he mysteriously withdrew the call and admitted all eight counts of guilt.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
The notion that McCarter, who bills himself as a terror expert, has no idea about Kurt Haskell's testimony, FBI confirmation of the fact, in addition to media reports concerning how AbdulMutallab was helped on the plane by a well-dressed man, over two years after it was initially revealed, is dubious to say the least.
After a second caller again references Haskell's testimony and makes the connection between the underwear bomber plot and the TSA's invasive groping policy, he is cut off, before a third caller discusses how the event created the perfect pretext for the introduction of naked body scanners, which just happened to make a lot of money for security officials like Michael Chertoff who were heavily invested in them at the time.
The final caller again hits on the fact that Abdulmutallab was allowed to board the airplane, noting that Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy told a hearing that the bomber was let on the plane because he was being tracked by intelligence agencies who ordered the State Department "not to deny a visa".
This episode again underscores the fact that – as Hillary Clinton bemoaned last year – we are winning the infowar. Informed Americans in growing numbers are successfully waking up their fellow citizens to the fact that the war on terror is a manufactured hoax wherein intelligence agencies recruit patsies and dupes to carry out attacks which are then used to advance the agenda of the military-industrial complex.

NEW LONDON, Conn.—The nation's oldest rivals take to the Thames River Saturday afternoon for the 146th rowing of the Harvard‑Yale Regatta, America's oldest intercollegiate sporting event. The Eastern‑champion Crimson is seeking its fourth straight win against the Bulldogs and its 11th in the last 12 years.
Following Friday's 5 p.m. combination race, Saturday's competition gets going with the freshman race at 3 p.m. The second varsity race follows at 3:45, with the varsity race at 4:45.
Listen Up
Fans can catch the call of the racing on WKNL, Kool 101 FM (100.9). Harvard graduate Charlie Hamlin '70 and Yale lightweight coach Andy Card will have the call from the course. The broadcast will also be available online at www.kool101fm.com. Video of the racing will be recorded and made available later in the weekend.
Probable Lineups
Varsity Eight
Cox: Chris Kingston, 8: Patrick Lapage, 7: Jason Phillips, 6: Nick Jordan, 5: Matthew Edstein, 4: Anthony Locke, 3: Michael DiSanto, 2: Josh Hicks, 1: James O'Connor
Second Varsity Eight
Cox: David Fuller, 8: Peter Scholle, 7: Justin Mundt, 6: Benjamin French, 5: Elihu Reynolds, 4: Jack Morrissey, 3: David Wakulich, 2: Parker Washburn, 1: JP Hogan
Freshman Eight
Cox: William Hakim, 8: Andrew Holmes, 7: Jake Sobstyl, 6: Caspar Jopling, 5: Gregory Edwards, 4: Max Monfared, 3: Andrew Reed, 2: Ben Lynton, 1: Jamie Law-Smith
Combination Eight
Cox: Alex Sopko, 8: Phil Matthews, 7: Conner Griffith, 6: Mihailo Malowany, 5: Alex Soutter, 4: Alex Macintosh, 3: Andrew Hamm, 2: Andrew Stein, 1: David Paresky
Seeking Perfection
Harvard has entered eights in 20 events in this year's dual regattas and has won each race. Each Crimson boat racing Saturday is unbeaten in all races with an EARC gold medal to its credit.
The Varsity Matchup
For the third straight year, Harvard and Yale avoided each other at Sprints and will meet for the first time in New London. The Crimson (6-0) already has a second straight Sprints title under its belt, while the Bulldogs (3-3) are coming off a win in the Sprints petite final.
The 2010 Varsity Race
Last year's 5.9-second margin was the slimmest of Harvard's 10 H-Y victories in 11 years. The Yale varsity took a three-seat lead in the opening mile, but the Crimson surged back into the Bulldogs, went ahead a mile into the race, and the lead reached a full length at two miles. Harvard led by eight seconds with a mile left to race, but the Bulldogs fought to the end, gaining one second in each of the final half-miles and finishing in 19:46.2 after the Crimson posted a time of 19:40.3.
Perfect Seasons Under Parker
The Harvard varsity eight is seeking its 21st perfect dual season in the coaching tenure of Harry Parker and its second in three years.
Going the Distance
While most races are 2,000 meters in length, the Crimson and Eli varsities depart from that "sprint" distance to battle along a four-mile course. The varsity race is the longest of its kind in America and three times the distance of a normal race. (Each crew will take approximately 700 strokes to complete the course.) The combination and freshman races are two miles long, and the second varsity contest is three.
History Lesson
College sports' longest-running rivalry dates back more than a century and a half to a two‑mile race, won by Harvard, August 3, 1852 on Lake Winnepesaukee in New Hampshire.
Saturday's race is the 124th on the Thames. Harvard leads the rivalry, 91-54, including a 74-49 edge in New London. The last non-New London race occurred on May 18, 1974, on Boston's Charles River. This is the 66th straight year Harvard and Yale are rowing each other. The last time they didn't meet was 1945 during World War II.
Spring Sweeping
Harvard has swept freshman, second varsity and varsity races at each of the last three Regattas. The Crimson previously swept the Regatta for four straight seasons from 2001-04. It was a feat not accomplished since Harvard recorded five straight sweeps from 1971-75. Yale won two of three races in 2007 and last swept the Regatta in 1996.
Moving Up
Racing will be held upstream for the 11th time in 12 years, ending at Bartlett's Cove. Harvard's run of 17 straight upstream wins was broken in 2007, but the Crimson still leads the upstream series, 39-23. Harvard holds the upstream record with its time of 18:41.9 in 1995.
The Second Varsity Race
The second varsity event has been the most competitive in recent years. Yale won twice in three years from 2005 to '07, but Harvard has since claimed three straight victories and holds an all-time series lead of 71-37. The Crimson hung on for a dramatic two-second win in 2009 and won by 15.6 seconds last season. In last year's race, the Crimson gained a couple seats off the start line and steadily pulled away from there, winning in 14:46.8 to the Bulldogs' 15:02.4.
Both second varsities have had winning seasons and raced in the Sprints grand final. Harvard (5-0) finished 3.5 seconds clear of the EARC field, while Yale (4-2) placed sixth.
The Freshman Race
A 14.9-second win in 2010 was the Crimson's fourth straight and eighth in nine years. It increased Harvard's freshman series lead to 67-39-1. Harvard used a low stroke rate to take an open-water lead just after the half-mile mark. The Crimson stretched its lead to nine seconds by the mid-point of the two-mile race and added six more seconds in the final mile, crossing in 9:32.7. Yale finished in 9:47.6.
At 7-0 so far, Harvard is seeking its fifth straight perfect freshman dual record. The Crimson was pushed by Northeastern and Princeton in duals but finished 5.9 seconds ahead of the pack in the Sprints grand final. The Bulldogs (1-3) faced Harvard in a Sprints heat, finishing fourth, about 15 seconds back. They took third in the petite final.
The Combination Race
Friday's combination race is a chance to combine oarsmen from the varsity and heavyweight squads, but the Crimson's "combi" lineup is expected to be the same as its third varsity eight, which placed second at Eastern Sprints, just two seconds behind Wisconsin. The third varsity has posted a 5-0 dual record.
Crimson Coaching Staff
Harry Parker, the Thomas Bolles Head Coach for Harvard Men's Crew, is in his 49th season. He has guided the Crimson to 23 varsity Sprints titles and 18 second varsity crowns. Parker's dual coaching record is 304‑44-1, and his varsity has gone undefeated 20 times. The third and fourth varsities are led by first-year assistant coach Boris Kusturic.
Harvard's freshman coach, in his 13th season, is Bill Manning. He has directed the Crimson rookies to the 1999, 2001, '02, '04, '08, '10 and '11 Sprints titles. A Harvard freshman win against Yale would give Manning his fifth straight perfect dual season.
Sprinting to Success
Harvard crew won four grand finals and swept the Rowe Cup events for its second consecutive varsity and team championships—and its second straight Ivy League title—at the EARC Sprints May 15 on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass..
The Crimson claimed its 27th Eastern and Ivy titles and its 31st Rowe Cup team win while sweeping the varsity eight, second varsity eight and freshman eight events for the sixth time in program history. It was only the ninth top-three heavyweight sweep by any school in the 65-year history of the Sprints.
The Rowe Cup win was the Crimson's seventh in 10 years. Harvard's heavyweight second varsity title was its 21st and first since 2006; the freshman crown was the Crimson's 22nd and third in four years.
Harvard started the varsity race well, gaining an early three-seat lead, but Wisconsin caught up and passed the Crimson in the second 500 meters. Harvard regained its three-seat advantage by the 1,000 mark and led the rest of the way, winning by about two seconds in 5:40.388 as Princeton edged the Badgers for silver.
The Crimson won the freshman eight grand final by 5.9 seconds and the second varsity grand final by 3.5. The Crimson fourth varsity eight finished more than four seconds ahead of the other two boats in its race.
Simply the Best
Harvard's 31 Rowe Cup victories and its 27 varsity, 21 second varsity and 22 freshman Sprints titles are all the highest totals among the competing programs. Its 71 total major-event wins are more than double the second-highest total.
Sprints Superlatives
More on the Crimson's big day at Sprints: Harvard has swept the three major heavyweight divisions at Eastern Sprints six times (1945, '65, '85, '90, 2004 and '11). Only three other times has one school swept all three races: 1952 (Navy), '79 (Yale) and '94 (Brown).
Harvard's heavyweight success was part of a banner day for Harvard. The Crimson lightweight varsity eight followed their heavier counterparts with an Eastern title of their own, marking the 13th time Harvard has won gold in both varsity eight races. That feat has only been accomplished four times by non-Harvard crews. The Crimson won both divisions in 1947, '59, '66, '68, '69, '74, '75, '77, '80, '88, '89, 2005 and '11.
The Harvard lightweight second varsity eight also won a Sprints title, giving the Crimson wins in five of the six major divisions for the sixth time (1965, '69, '74, '85, 2004 and '11).
Dual Season Recap
In a dual season characterized by difficult racing conditions, undefeated Harvard has repeatedly come out on top, starting with an 18.1-second victory against visiting Cornell.
In the matchup between the last two Sprints varsity champions, Harvard swept five races from Brown, taking the varsity race for the Stein Cup by 2.6 seconds. The race was even tighter for the Compton Cup at Princeton, where the Crimson outlasted the Tigers by 1.2 seconds, while the lower boats won by wide margins.
As part of a five-race sweep of Navy and Penn on the Schuylkill River, the Harvard varsity beat the Midshipmen by four seconds and the Quakers by 15.6. The Harvard freshmen faced their toughest test so far against neighboring Northeastern, winning by 1.2 seconds. The varsity, meanwhile, pulled away to a 14.7-second victory for the Smith Cup.
The Harvard heavyweight varsity eight has defeated its last 12 and 26 of its last 27 dual opponents. The Crimson freshman eight has defeated 34 straight dual opponents since falling to Yale to close the 2006 season.
A Winning Boat
The Harvard varsity eight races in the same shell that Malcolm Howard '05 and the Canada men's eight rowed to a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The boat was dedicated in Howard's honor following last season's Compton Cup sweep of Princeton and MIT.
Crimson Captain
The Crimson heavyweights are captained by senior Anthony Locke (Isle of Wight, England), who has rowed in the varsity eight in every spring race the last three seasons. He has three Eastern titles (two varsity, one freshman), a Sprints varsity runner-up finish and a Henley championship to his credit. Locke has earned bronze medals as part of the Great Britain eight in each of the last two World Rowing Under 23 Championships regattas and won gold at the 2006 World Rowing Junior Championships.
Family Ties
Yale captain Derek Johnson is the son of former Harvard oarsman Brian Johnson '71. Brian rowed to H-Y wins in the 1968 freshman, '69 junior varsity and '70 varsity races.
Her Majesty's Men
Four of the nine varsity athletes are English, and Nick Jordan (Princeton, N.J.) was schooled at Eton College before coming to Harvard.
The Varsity Eight
Each oarsman in the Harvard varsity eight won gold at Sprints last season, including five in the varsity eight: senior Anthony Locke and juniors Patrick Lapage (Shrewsbury, England), Nick Jordan, Matthew Edstein (Sydney, Australia) and Michael DiSanto (Boston, Mass.).
The remaining three rowers were part of the gold-winning Crimson freshman boat last year: Jason Phillips (London, England), Josh Hicks (Waterford, Australia) and James O'Connor (Christchurch, New Zealand). Senior coxswain Chris Kingston (Bedford, England) guided the varsity to a runner-up Sprints finish in 2009.
Ivy League Champions
Harvard's Sprints win secured the Ivy League championship for the Crimson and first-team All-Ivy League honors for the members of the varsity eight. It was the second straight first-team All-Ivy nod earned by each of the five returning oarsmen. Anthony Locke and Chris Kingston were second-team honorees in 2009. David Wakulich (St. Catherines, Ont.) was a second‑team performer in 2009 and a first-teamer last season.
Harvard and Yale won a combined 12 league titles in 2010-11: Yale in men's golf, women's golf, men's hockey, men's squash, women's squash, women's tennis and women's volleyball; Harvard in men's basketball, men's heavyweight crew, men's lightweight crew, men's fencing and softball.
Rivalry Rulers
A Crimson win Saturday would give Harvard dual victories against Yale in men's heavyweight, men's lightweight and women's heavyweight crew in the same year for the first time since 2003, when each of those Harvard/Radcliffe varsity eights won national titles.
The Course Record
The Crimson set the downstream (and course) mark of 18:22.4 in 1980.
An Early Encounter
Last year's H-Y Regatta was the first in 20 years to be held in May. The last Regatta this early was May 22, 1977, a Crimson win.
Momentum Shifts
The Regatta's longest win streak is 18, accomplished by Harvard from 1963‑80, Harry Parker's first 18 years. The Crimson won 11 in a row from 1985-95, 10 straight from 1936-48 (the race wasn't held in 1943, '44 and '45) and seven consecutively from 2000-06. Yale's longest win streak is six, which it has accomplished three times (1893-98, 1900-05 and 1921-26).
Harvard-Yale in the Spotlight
The Harvard-Yale crew rivalry was featured in the cover story of the June 2000 issue of Yankee Magazine. ABC then followed 2002's 150th anniversary race for an extended piece that ran on World News Tonight. Sports Illustrated, in its college sports issue in April 1997, called the Harvard‑Yale crew race "college sports' most venerable rivalry."
Still to Come
While the Harvard-Yale Regatta has most often served as the finale of the collegiate rowing season, this season will wrap up with the IRA National Championships June 2-4 on the Cooper River in Camden, N.J. The Crimson finished fourth in last year's national regatta, while the Elis qualified for the petite final, placing fifth in that race and 11th overall.

October Highlights
Well, it's almost Halloween, my girls' second favorite holiday after Christmas. We've had our traditional ghost milkshakes (with more whipped cream than milkshake this year!) and the costumes are ready.
It's been a busy time, and I wanted to highlight a few things that happened in October.
Natalie MacLean, Ottawa's award-winning wine writer, is promoting her new book: Unquenchable. She's touring Canada and the United States, so check out her schedule.
I have to thank Natalie for a shout-out in Ottawa Magazine this month. I'm honored to be mentioned along with Holly Burns of Wine Out Loud, another respected wine writer and blogger from Ottawa.
While you're checking out Natalie's wine picks, videos, and blog, you can also read my October column: Shrimp, Watercress, Bacon and Walnut Salad Recipe Paired with Coopers Creek Chardonnay, New Zealand. The mini Potato Chèvre Sandwiches that garnish this salad steal the limelight.
Also, just for fun, to practice my photography and to keep inspired, I've started a blog called Laugh Play Live. Last year, though I was going through a separation and dealing with thyroid cancer, it helped to be inspired by words and photography. Facing cancer brings with it a new perspective, and I hope to continue to see the wonderful, wild and whimsical through the lens and in words.
November is looking good. I'm off to Mazatlan, Mexico for a Gran Fiesta and Culinary Tour. Let's hope the hurricanes hold off while I'm there!

I have disability insurance at work. Is there any reason why I'd need to buy a policy on my own?
Perhaps. Having disability insurance at work is a great start. The policy can help if you get sick or injured and are unable to work. But your employer's coverage might not provide enough money to pay all of your bills.
Employers' disability insurance policies generally cover only 60% of your salary and cap monthly benefits at $5,000 to $10,000 -- up to $60,000 to $120,000 per year before taxes -- even if that is much less than 60% of your base income. And that 60% of income rarely includes commissions and bonuses, leaving many salespeople, stockbrokers and top executives with a lot less money than they're used to living on.
Find out exactly how much your employer's disability insurance policy would pay if you became disabled. If you wouldn't get enough to cover your monthly bills, then it's a good idea to get an individual policy to fill the gaps. You might want to start your search, though, by asking if your employer offers extra coverage if you pay it for yourself.
An individual disability policy can increase your coverage, and you can keep it even after you leave that job. And if you pay the premiums on your own, then the benefits will not be taxed -- unlike disability insurance benefits from an employer-paid policy, which are generally taxable.
When shopping for your own disability insurance policy, look carefully at the definition of disability. This is the key phrase that determines under what circumstances the policy will pay. This definition can vary enormously. Some disability insurance policies will pay if you can't do your current job, even if you can do another job (called an "own-occupation" policy). Some will pay some benefits if you can't earn as much money as you could before the disability. And others will only pay if you can't do any job at all. If you have a highly specialized career -- such as a surgeon -- then it may be worthwhile to pay extra for an own-occupation policy.
Also check out the length of the benefits. Some pay for a few years, others until age 65, and a few will pay for your lifetime, which may be more coverage than you need if you already have a lot of retirement savings. Find out how the benefits will rise with inflation. And see if the policy offers "residual benefits," which will provide some payment if you become partially disabled and have to cut back on your hours.

My sister had her baby. Look at this beautiful baby girl. I just love her so much! I can't wait to cuddle her again. Her birth made for a bit of a crazy week but of course it she was so worth it. I made her the little hair clip that she is wearing in the picture above. She looks so cute with it on!
This is the blanket that I made for baby Lexa. I love the way the colors mixed so well together. You can't see it but the other side of the blanket is a bright pink to match the pink of the elephants. I love doing projects like this one. It brings out my creative side and makes me feel so good. Not only that but I get to use the talents God gave me to bless others. It's such a wonderful thing!
My sister loved the blanket and I even got to snuggle baby Lexa in it. She was so cute and cuddly that I didn't want to give her up. That was until my six year old had a little meltdown that I had to handle. Just another reminder why I am not going to ever have anymore children. :) I love babies to death but I am done with my baby years. Now that we are past the diapers and starting school I am enjoying the little bit of freedom that I have again. My Mom always told me that once you get past the diaper years you will never want to go back. I guess my Mom was right. Now I have a beautiful little niece to snuggle and an 11 month old nephew that is absolutely adorable with his pudgy little cheeks. Seriously, check out this face.
My favorite picture of Baby B! He was so little.
With these two around I will get plenty of baby snuggling in. I will try to write another post today with an update on my weight loss struggles. Have a great day!

The Yugzhee, or "hedgehog-people", guard a great, secret treasure inside their giant burrowed lair. The mysterious Wall of Keys, a 12'x10', foot-thick, cold-iron, "wall", upon which, on iron hooks, hang 100 ornate iron keys of all shapes and sizes. Each key opens some heretofore un-openable barrier, door, or gate, in the particular game world of choice.
The PCs have come upon a great boon, except for the fact that the keys cease to function properly if separated from the iron wall for more than a few minutes. Higher level characters will be able to figure out how to take the wall "with them" via magic. Lower level characters will have to get creative.

2. Using a fine-tooth rat-tail comb, make your part and comb the lower "shaved" section straight back against your scalp.
3. Smooth the combed section beneath the crown of your head, allowing some loose strands to fall over it.
4. Using bobby-pins, secure the combed section of hair so it lies tightly against your head.
5. Spray with hairspray (I spray my hand, then run it over my hair so it doesn't look shellacked).
6. Using a curling wand or curling iron, add curls to the loose section of hair, break apart and set with hairspray.
Optional: If you'd like a little more texture, rub some pomade or styling cream between your hands and sprunch through your hair, being sure not to run your fingers through (this will just weigh it down).
After this post, I received a number of requests for tips on creating a faux-half shave (or undercut). I've been wearing my hair like this a lot lately and, yes, this hairstyle is basically early-90s mall hair. No, I do not in the least feel self-conscious about this. I remember standing in front of my bathroom mirror as a kid, holding one half of my hair back and thinking it would just look so cool if it were shaved. I have no idea where on earth I could have seen this hairstyle back then, since I had very little access to any media or pop culture, but something, somewhere made an impression. So yeah, I'm all about the resurgence of undercuts and shaves. And, by the looks of the Tracy Reese SS13 runway show and the Rachel Antonoff SS13 presentation, the look will stick around a while (not that it matters, do what you want with your hair! Be free!). A faux-undercut is the perfect way to change up your hairstyle without the commitment of breaking out the razor.

South Carolina Testosterone Lawsuit Lawyers
Our South Carolina testosterone drug lawyers are accepting cases for men and their families who have suffered harm due to low testosterone, or "Low T" drugs. Several recent studies have demonstrated that there are numerous risks associated with the drugs that were not properly disclosed by drug manufacturers to men who were prescribed the medication.
Studies now support a link between testosterone drugs and serious medical conditions, including heart attack, stroke, blood clots, mood swings, and even possibly death. Family members, including a spouse, child, or significant other may also have been harmed by a testosterone gel product if there was accidental contact with a person using the gel.
There are several different products sold by pharmaceutical companies and the drugs vary on dosage and the method of delivery. Delivery ranges from a topical solution to a gel to an injection. The leading brands of testosterone drug supplements on the market are below:
• Androgel
• Androderm
• Axirom
• Bio-T-Gel
• Delatestryl
• Depo-Testosterone
• Fortesta
• Striant
• Testim
• Testopel
It is anticipated that numerous lawsuits will be filed against the drug makers selling their products to men. These will likely be both class action lawsuits and individual lawsuits. We will advise which type of lawsuit is best for you to file based upon your own unique circumstances.
The lawsuits will seek significant money damages for pain and suffering, disability, psychological damages, medical expenses, and loss of earnings. Cases involving death will seek compensation for the surviving family members under the state wrongful death statute.
South Carolina lawsuit allegations will include that drug companies sold the drugs without properly researching the potential health risks and failed to disclose the risk of heart attack and other injuries to consumers. Suits will also allege reckless and false advertising by the drug makers.
There are strict time deadlines, called "Statute of Limitations," for filing lawsuits so it is important to contact our office today so that you do not miss a deadline. In South Carolina, the deadlines that you must know are as follows:
Personal Injury 3 years
Products Liability 3 years
Wrongful Death 3 years

A great write-up about how a company should do a meetup! I enjoyed it a lot – both the meetup and reading the post!
I just got back from an exhilarating, week long Automattic company meetup in San Diego. We've now done 9 full company meetups over the last 6 years (plus dozens of smaller team ones), and I wanted to write down some tips on how to run a company meetup while it's fresh in my mind:
1. Focus on connecting people: We call our get-togethers meetups – instead of off-sites or retreats – because our primary goal is to get everyone on the team to meet and to get to know each other better (not to get away or retreat from our office). We're distributed (mostly working from home), so in-person meetups are especially important for us, but I think it would be beneficial to any company to get everyone together once or twice a year to spend time with each other to deepen personal connections and get to know the "people…

TROY -- On July Fourth, as many eyes were turned toward fireworks displays, some were turned to the downtown streets. With spray-cans in their hands they left new, and unwanted, marks on city buildings. A graffiti tag was left on the side of Famous Lunch, another down the Williams Street alley, but Mitchell Gaies may have received the worst. When Gaies arrived at the Troy Light Company on July 5, he was dismayed to find the front of his building had a message scrawled across its length. "We've already spent hours trying to get it off," said Gaies, who is the third generation of his family in the lighting business. "It's already been vastly greater an effort than any reward whoever did it will get out of it." While graffiti is not frequent in that section of downtown, said Gaies, the fresh marks at 85 Congress Street come on the heels of a tag that was left on newly installed receiving doors. "We left on 5 p.m. that night and at seven the next morning it was there," he said. The warmer months have brought a fresh wave of graffiti, and city officials are contemplating a new method to combat the vandalism -- smartphones. There is now an effort to put a mobile application, which would combat graffiti, in city residents' hands. The Graffiti Buster application, developed by Troy Web Consulting, a tech company near Monument Square, allows passersby to report graffiti -- anonymously, if they so choose -- by typing in a description of the markings, snapping a picture with their phone, and sending it directly to the city. "You're walking down the street, casually take out your phone and, within 30 seconds, type in and take a photograph and you're on your way," said Tim Varney, director of mobile application development for Troy Web Consulting. The reports are then sent to city officials, who can then use the data to analyze the graffiti for possible gang activity, more quickly match known tags to suspects, and make arrests. The application came about after Varney's Albany neighborhood, Center Square, experienced a rash of graffiti recently. At the time, Varney was looking for a concept application to test out a new technology. The incident spurred the idea for the Graffiti Buster app. In March, the app was picked up by the Albany city government. So far, it has been downloaded 350 times and more than 300 images of graffiti have been uploaded. It is possible that the app might begin busting graffiti in Troy, an effort being spearheaded by Councilman Ken Zalewski (D-District 5). "I feel very confident, after seeing ademo of the application
, that the city will follow through with this," said Zalewski. "My guess is that the city will be able to move forward with this within the month." The application would cost the city a yearly fee of $200 and it is free for citizens to download. "This allows citizens to become additional eyes for the police department," said Zalewski. "The Graffiti Buster application is not going to prevent graffiti, but it is going to allow police to get to the bottom of who is committing these crimes and hopefully track these people down and arrest them." Ian Benjamin can be contacted at 270-1287.

Is it? After all what is the goal of architecture in an IT context? Surely its to represent what the business wants to achieve. Looking at the Wikipedia definition of Enterprise Architecture for instance it says
Enterprise Architecture is the description of the current and/or future structure and behavior of an organization's processes, information systems, personnel and organizational sub-units, aligned with the organization's core goals and strategic direction.
And System Architecture goes down as
A system architecture or systems architecture is the design or set of relations between the parts of a system.
Now this is what I've always thought of as being architecture in an IT context. Even something very very techy like ADML describes software architecture as
A software architecture describes the structural properties of software, typically the components and their interrelationships, and guidelines about their use.
The key bit here is it describes the OPERATIONAL pieces (components and interactions) rather than the implementation mechanics.
Now I don't think this fits what REST is at all. REST deals with the implementation mechanics and the principles and practice of that implementation, it doesn't provide you with a style for the modelling of an architecture and its interactions, it provides you with a framework for its implementation.
In his presentation Roy uses the phrase "Architecture is trying to find the common design" before going to talk more about architectural style being more abstract that that. Now the issue here is that in architecture he talks about implementation protocols as being the key to the Web "architecture". REST then becomes one level above that talking not about the protocols but about the "style" of the Web. Now this really got me thinking. This is a long way away from what I mean when I talk about business architectures and it really is about implementation practice... then it dawned on me, this isn't an argument about architectural styles, in fact REST isn't an architectural style.
REST is a design pattern
In software engineering ,a design pattern is a general repeatable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. A design pattern is not a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations.
Now that to me sums up exactly what REST is, and how the Web is the implementation of the REST design pattern, and explains how the REST design pattern can be used to implement your projects and programmes. This doesn't make REST any more, or less, relevant to decisions but for me it explains the different between SOA, as a business driven concept, and REST as an implementation model for that approach. It is fair to say that Web Services has a lack of patterns and practice and that this is an area that should be addressed in terms of Web Service implementation patterns (and anti-patterns), but both REST and Web Services are fundamentally about technology and implementation.
Architecture needs to be about understanding the goals and objectives of the business problem being solved and about the effective modelling of that solution. This then needs to be translated into technology by creating a software architectures which are based, or constrained by, firm design patterns that ensure repeatability of solutions. Confusing the goals of architecture by making it focused on the technology implementation really doesn't help us bridge the gap between IT and the business, indeed it reinforces the gap by emphasising the IT focus as being on technology rather than on the business problems.
REST may well have a place within the implementation of an Enterprise or Solution Architecture, but we shouldn't confuse the goals of architecture (business problem) with patterns (IT implementation), and REST belongs firmly in the later.

Project MSS256
Project (see for more information startsmart-living.nl)
StartSmart is a concept designed by Nobillon Vastgoed. Nobillon specializes in the development of residential real-estate. With more than 20 years of experience, Nobillon has acquired a solid and reliable position in the real estate sector.
With StartSmart, Nobillon offers a solution for a growing demand in the Dutch market, by developing compact city apartments for young professionals. StartSmart stands for high quality compact housing for couples, expats and single occupants, where living and working can be combined in a comfortable way.
Maassluisstraat 256-258 or MSS256 is located in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. It lies on the border of the new and the old Amsterdam. You can live in a calm neighbourhoud, outside the overwhelmingly busy city center, but close enough to enjoy it's vibrant atmosphere with it's cafés, restaurants, clubs, large parks.
The photos shown are indicative for the style of renovation.
• 24 high-end lofts of about 34-44 m² (17 sold already)
• Transformation project from office to residential building
• Contemporary lofts for millennials
• Fiberoptic internet
• Floor-heating
• Fusion Quooker in the kitchen
• Posibility to store your bike (for #258 closed storage)
• Groundlease is paid till 30th of September 2037
Offering a mix between old-school cafés and new trendy bars and restaurants. This makes the ara popular and the ideal location for evenings filled with drinks and going out to dinner together. All located just a few hundred meters from your doorstep.
• High-quality nature and space in an urban context
• Right outside the busy city center of Amsterdam, near Hoofddorpplein, Sloterkade, Amstelveenseweg and a little bit further the lake Nieuwe Meer and Radion
• Public transport (between 2 metrostations/ tramline #2), restaurants, bars and grocery stores close tot he apartment
• Easily accessible by car from the nearby ring-road, and enough space for parking
MSS256 is characterized by it's tough concrete look, which is the core of the building. The interiour has been designed in line with this robustness, yet the quality of the apartment and it's appliances will make you warm inside. For example, floor-heating underneath the concrete look floor, sound-proof thermal windows, large sliding doors to a balcony and many more of these high-end details.
Another valuable aspect of this project, is it's accessibility. The area offers enough space to park your car, is located closely tot he ring-road and the nearest metro station is just a 3-minute walk. Bringing you by metro or train to stations like Sloterdijk, Amsterdam Zuid and Schiphol in 10 minutes. From here it is easy to reach the beach in Zandvoort where you can go kitesurfing or the forest in Overveen to go hiking, just 40 minutes away by train.
Association of owners
The 24 apartments are combined in an association of house owners. The montly service costs will be around € 98,50

A unified national health exchange in which all Americans could buy insurance was one of the possibilities most reviled by opponents of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), now more often called Obamacare. So it is richly ironic and surprisingly helpful that states led by Republicans are largely defaulting to just such a unified system.
These exchanges will allow individuals and small businesses to shop for privately run insurance policies that make the most sense for them. The main existing example is in Massachusetts. An official there describes it: Were a little bit like Travelocity for health insurance. Its an electronic, automated store for insurance. There it typically takes people 20 to 30 minutes to evaluate their options, decide which plan to purchase, push a button and theyre enrolled, according to the Washington Post.
New federal and state-run systems will offer similar choices, matching coverage options with willingness to pay.
Oregon, Washington and all our near neighbors in the West are setting up our own health exchanges. This means greater flexibility and local control of this pivotal new system that will transform the lives of the currently uninsured, starting next year. Gov. John Kitzhabers leadership on Oregons health care initiatives won him a seat in the first ladys box at the State of the Union speech.
Seventeen states and the District of Columbia signed up to run exchanges before the Feb. 15 deadline. Several others will partner with the federal government. But the feds will themselves run 26 of the state health exchanges.
This certainly is in part because of a political-legal miscalculation. A large block of states from Montana to Florida incorrectly assumed a conservative Supreme Court would toss out the ACA or that President Romney would move to repeal it. Reality moved in other directions.
In other cases, the reasoning was on their heads be it if Congress and the president want universal health care, let them also deal with the hassle and expense. ACA supporters in some of the dissenting states say they prefer federal management to a homegrown system that might be designed to fail.
The politics of all this will fade to insignificance soon as far fewer people are forced to defer vital health decisions because they lack insurance. Already, a rule was finalized last week that eliminates long-standing discrimination against mental health coverage in insurance policies. (As an aside, we should point out that if theres but one small area of agreement between opposing camps in the nations still-raging debate over gun control, its that our society can no longer afford to continue short-changing mental health care.) Additional fair, humane reforms are in the pipeline.
For low-income residents, expansion of Medicaid coverage alone will offer health care to an additional 325,000 people in Washington over the next few years, starting in January. Oregon still is only leaning toward Medicaid expansion, which would extend benefits to an additional 252,000 individuals. It should do so.
It is true that we must keep a close eye on the costs associated with all this. But nothing is more expensive to a nation than needlessly sacrificing our own citizens because of lack of routine modern medical care.
If paying for such care means we can no longer afford entanglement in optional foreign wars, so be it.

Could a WG staffer sound off on this please
Why aren't the loading screens being used to promote the forums. We have all been the new tanker struggling to figure out this game and improve our experience, yet there is almost no advertisement of the forums in the game. Why not have one screen where it simply promotes the forums? A repetitious screen stating there is a place to get help and improve your game could really go along way.
Need help? Want to improve your game? Need some tips on how to use a tank or navigate a map? Want to share an epic battle with your fellow tankers? Come to the forums!
The forums are probably the greatest resource to improving anyone's experience in this game, but the lack of assistance to get people to come and use the forums is hindering everyone's experience.
Could we see something implemented please?

So I'm getting sick and tired of spam.
I went ahead and straight up denied access to specific countries from which spam originates. I am not sure if this denies specific SPAM only ip addresses or if it denies access to those countries alltogether.... and I don't care. We don't seem to have any active users from there anyways.
Hope it helps. Will add to list as new spam appears from different places.

The System 10 PRO Rack-Mount digital wireless system provides the same interference-free operation in the 2.4 GHz range (outside TV bands) as the original System 10 wireless system but with expanded features and versatility. The durable half-rack chassis is equipped to house two receiver units that can be operated locally or released from the chassis and mounted remotely (up to 328 feet away) via Ethernet cable. Up to five chassis (10 receiver units) can be linked using the RJ12 cable included with each system, creating a stable, multichannel system with the simultaneous use of up to 10 channels.
Like all the products in the System 10 wireless family, the PRO Rack-Mount features 24-bit operation, easy setup, clear, natural sound quality, and three levels of diversity assurance: frequency, time, and space. Frequency Diversity sends the signal on two dynamically allocated frequencies for interference-free communication. Time Diversity sends the signal in multiple time slots to maximize immunity to multipath interference. Space Diversity uses two antennas on each transmitter and receiver unit to maximize signal integrity.Features:

The school and sect of Chrysippus1 deem every man mad, whom vicious folly or the ignorance of truth drives blindly forward. This definition takes in whole nations, this even great kings, the wise man [alone] excepted. Now learn, why all those, who have fixed the name of madman upon you, are as senseless as yourself. As in the woods, where a mistake makes people wander about from the proper path; one goes out of the way to the right; another to the left; there is the same blunder on both sides, only the illusion is in different directions: in this manner imagine yourself mad; so that he, who derides you, hangs his tail,2 not one jot wiser than yourself. There is one species of folly, that dreads things not in the least formidable; insomuch that it will complain of fires, and rocks, and rivers opposing it in the open plain; there is another different from this, but not a whit more approaching to wisdom, that runs headlong through the midst of flames and floods. Let the loving mother, the virtuous sister, the father, the wife, together with all the relations [of a man possessed with this latter folly], cry out: "Here is a deep ditch; here is a prodigious rock; take care of yourself:" he would give no more attention, than did the drunken Fufius3 some time ago, when he overslept the character of Ilione, twelve hundred Catieni at the same time roaring out, O mother, I call you to my aid. I will demonstrate to you, that the generality of all mankind are mad in the commission of some folly similar to this. Damasippus is mad for purchasing antique statues: but is Damasippus' creditor in his senses? Well, suppose I should say to you: receive this,4 which you can never repay: will you be a madman, if you receive it; or would you be more absurd for rejecting a booty, which propitious Mercury offers? Take bond,5 like the banker Nerius, for ten thousand sesterces; it will not signify: add the forms of Cicuta,6 so versed in the knotty points of law: add a thousand obligations: yet this wicked Proteus will evade all these ties. When you shall drag him to justice, laughing as if his cheeks were none of his own;7 he will be transformed into a boar, sometimes into a bird, sometimes into a stone, and when he pleases into a tree. If to conduct one's affairs badly be the part of a the madman; and the reverse, that of a man well in his senses; brain of Perillius (believe me), who orders you [that sum of money], which you can never repay, is much more unsound [than yours].
1 "Chrysippi porticus." The Porticus was a famous gallery at Athens, where Zeno held his school, which, from the Greek word στόα, Porticus, took the name of Stoic.
2 "Caudam trahat." A metaphor, as the old commentator well observes, taken from a custom among children, who tied a tail behind a person whom they had a mind to laugh at.
Fufius was an actor who, playing the character of Ilione, was supposed to be asleep, when
the ghost of her son Polydore called to her, "Dear mother, hear me." Fufius, having drunk
too much, fell really asleep; and Catienus, who played Polydore, having called to him,
without waking him, the whole house, as if each of them was a Catienus, cried out, "Dear
mother, hear me," The number of twelve hundred is a pleasant exaggeration. Accius or
Pacuvius wrote a tragedy on the story of Ilione, and the whole passage is preserved to us in
Cicero: "
Mater, te adpello, tu quae somno curam suspensam levas,
Neque te mei miseret, surge et sepeli natum
Priusquam ferae volucresque.
4 Stertinius goes on to prove, not only that Damasippus is not a fool, in buying statues, since he does not pay for them, but that he would be a fool indeed, to refuse the favor which Mercury offers him, in the credulity of Perillius.
5 Scribere is sometimes used in the sense "to acknowledge the receipt of a sum borrowed"; hence some have supposed that the meaning here is scribe te decem sestertia accepisse a Nerio, as said by Damasippus' creditor. Thus, Nerius is a banker, with whom Damasippus' creditor (Perillius) had lodged his money, and in whose books Damasippus, when drawing the ten sestertia, was required to acknowledge (scribere) the receipt of so much money. But I prefer Gesner's interpretation, scribe decem tabulas a Nerio, i.e. "draw out ten bonds with all the niceties of Nerius," a usurer, well known for his care in wording the bonds, so that there could be no evasion.
6 Cicuta was an old notary, who knew too well the practice of bonds, to neglect any clauses or forms, capable of finding these engagements. Such is the force of "nodosus" . Tabulae are the bonds or contracts, from whence notaries were called tabularii.
7 People are not usually too careful of what belongs to others, from whence this kind of proverbial expression, "laughing with another man's cheeks." Dacier very well observes, that our poet hath translated it from Homer, when he says of Penelope's lovers, "Οἴ δ᾽ ἤδη γναθμοῖσι γελώων ἀλλορίοισι" ODYSS. lib. xx. v. 346.
