The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
During last week's PAX convention in Seattle, Washington, MMORPG.com columnist Bill Murphy had the chance that many would kill to have had: A chance to play Torchlight 2. Bill's got a lot to say about Runic Games' Torchlight 2, about how devs are creating deep lore and giving players more classes, more areas to explore...in short, MORE. Read Bill's thoughts about Torchlight 2 and start counting the days untilSpring 2011!
Torchlight was a fairly straightforward game where you found yourself in one town that was afflicted by this evil, and the dungeon just went deeper and deeper and deeper. The sequel, much like Diablo 2 did, seeks to open up the game world and deepen the amount of interaction you actually have with the lore. Perhaps this is partly because Runic really wants to delve further into the setting they've created in order to further establish their flagship IP before turning it into an MMO, but for whatever reason it's a welcome excursion. Add to all this the addition of LAN and online multiplayer, and Runic's certainly looking to raise the bar quite a bit.
Read more Torchlight 2 PAX Gameplay Impressions.
Maybe they'll change their minds by '11. I hope they include an alchy... I mean aren't magic-users one of the "standard" classes as a base for probably all fantasy-based MMO's?
Well I did enjoy the single-player game and will try the multi-player for sure... just hope they change it so that you can use the alchy.
Good news. Guess we'll have to trust them to make a fun 'alchemist like' character.
I imagine they're going to bring all classes back for the MMO variant. They're probably testing out classes in each game so that when it comes to their final product, the classes have all been thoroughly played.
Just my 2¢.
Pretty excited for this title. And it just made me realize for the first time how many upcoming titles there are that I'm actually genuinely excited about.
I'm kinda happy that they're making T2 an action RPG again before delving into the world of MMOs. The first one needed the multiplayer feature so badly.
Normally its Blizzard stealing other people's ideas, its nice to see someone stealing theirs and doing well.
I cannot wait to get ahold of the torched on this one. I'd love to add more events to what hopefully will be an already big list of them.

Toe Box too narrow for me
"My previous pair of New Balance running shoes were an excellent fit so I was confident I'd be happy with a pair of walking shoes that I needed for work at a hospital. These walking shoes don't give like running shoes, and my feet have gotten wider with age. For me the toe box of these shoes are a bit narrow and I find them very uncomfortable after a few hours of standing and running around :("

Wide sandals
"It's so hard to find dressy, Wide width sandals so when I happened across this one I ordered it in both black and white. Both top straps are completely adjustable, heel height is just right and they look really cute on. Only downside is they could use a little more padding in the insole but it's not completely lacking either. Wish DSW would start offering more W widths."

Pisani Injury and Minor League Update
Jonathan Willis
November 18 2008 08:00AM
I'd been planning to do a quick update on a few of the Oilers' minor league players, but Fernando Pisani's injury against Detroit last night has brought more pressing matters to the fore. Pisani's been a quality player for some time now, and most importantly he's one of a handful of reliable veterans that Craig MacTavish can run against the best players that the opposition can ice.
However, now that Pisani's out with a broken ankle for an indefinite period of time, the composition of this team changes. MacTavish was running Moreau – Horcoff – Cole as a line to finish the game, and while I originally thought that would be a good solution to handle the tough opponents, it seems to me that it puts too many eggs in one basket; particularly given that Dustin Penner isn't enjoying his coach's confidence at the moment. If I were in charge, I'd probably run the lines like this:
Moreau – Horcoff – Hemsky Nilsson – Cogliano – Gagner Reddox– Pouliot – Cole Penner – Brodziak – Stortini
The simple fact of the matter is that opposing coaches are always going to run tough opposition at Ales Hemsky, and Sam Gagner hasn't shown the ability to handle it. Re-uniting the Kid Line and running them against soft opposition could help this team to score goals, while the Horcoff line runs power vs. power and and Erik Cole's line takes on second-tier opponents. Dustin Penner could be elevated to any line once the coach's confidence in him is restored.
End of the Line for McDonald?
Oilers prospect Colin McDonald, a second round pick of the Oilers in the incredibly deep 2003 NHL Entry Draft, is in some serious trouble. McDonald, who has just four points in 14 AHL games in his second professional season, was assigned yesterday to the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL. The Oilers have long held out hope for McDonald, who struggled offensively in four seasons with Providence College, but this latest move indicates that McDonald is moving in the wrong direction. Now 24, McDonald is in the final year of his NHL Entry Level contract, and if he doesn't turn things around in a hurry, I can't see the Oilers re-signing him. In the same press release, the Oilers announced that undrafted rookie Bryan Lerg has been moved from Stockton to Springfield.
Les Reaney Back on the Radar (Barely)
It didn't cause much of a stir among followers of the Oilers when undrafted forward Les Reaney left Niagara University in February to play in Edmonton's farm system. Reaney appeared in only five ECHL games, recording a single assist. This year, he was assigned to the Rapid City Rush of the Central Hockey League, presumably to disappear forever. After scoring 15 points in just eight games in Rapid City, Edmonton recalled Reaney to play for the ECHL's Dayton Bombers, where he's put up four points and 17 PIM in just three games.
Goalie Roundup
Devan Dubnyk has had an outstanding start to the season, going 7-6-1 with a 2.44 GAA and a 0.924 SV %. This past week, he was named the AHL's Player of the Week, and if he can keep this up, he'll have taken a massive leap from his play last season. Dubnyk has been so good that AHL backup Glenn Fisher has only seen two periods of play in 14 games.
The results from the ECHL have been mixed. Bryan Pitton has cooled off after a hot start, and now has a 2-5-1 record, with a 3.34 GAA and a 0.888 SV %. The May signing of Pitton to a three-year entry-level deal is starting to look like a mistake, especially since it makes it more difficult for the Oilers to ink Andrew Perugini to a similar deal. Perugini had issues with his visa to start the year, and only received clearance to play on October 31st, but so far he's been outstanding. In four games, Perugini has a 3-0-1 record, a 2.14 GAA, and a 0.935 SV %. This really is not that surprising, because Perugini has been an elite-level OHL goaltender for the last two seasons, and his junior numbers are well clear of Pitton.
Meanwhile, in Södertälje, veteran European goaltender (and 2004 Oilers draft pick) Björn Bjurling is enjoying yet another strong season. He posted an eye-opening 0.928 SV % in the Elitserien (Sweden's top league) last season, and through 17 games has a .923 SV % this season. There was some talk of signing Bjurling in the summer, but with so many goaltenders in the system already, the Oilers left him in Sweden. One only has to look at the incredible numbers that Antti Niemi, has put up in the AHL or the success of Jonas Hiller to see that these veteran European goalies often have a smooth transition to North American hockey. With Dubnyk and Deslauriers both playing well, however, it is hard to see where the Oilers would put Bjurling.
You never want to see a guy get injured and after what the guy went through last year Pisani definately didn't deserve to go through this.
That said, he is one of the vets that has done squat so far but his status on the team has kept him somewhat immune to getting called out on it.
In the grande picture this may not be a bad thing for the Oilers right now.
And yes I know that PKing and checking veterans are in short supply on this team but it isn't like this has been a strong suit for the Oilers this year.
November 18 2008, 12:12PM
Well, Pisani hasn't had a strong season to date, but in fairness he's played what - 1, 2 games at his natural position?
He's on pace for thirty points, so his offense is where it normally is (except a little shy of goals). His overall game hasn't been where it was the last couple of years, though.
November 18 2008, 01:45PM
I actually think an injury is what the Oilers need. You combine this with the benching of Penner and the team is in a shake up. Is it enough to shake some life into them? We'll see tonight as they suit up against a team they should beat easily.
With Pisani out, and the team struggling; it is time for Tambo to pull the trigger on a few trades: 1) Garon For Luongo 2) Horcoff For Ovechkin 3) Staios For Lidstrom
November 18 2008, 02:01PM
Chris, I love this dreamworld you've created...
Back to Pisani...I think he's one of those semi intangible players that you don't realize how useful he is, until he's gone (See: Reasoner). He logs some pretty tough defensive minded minutes and he has a pretty underrated release on his shot. He's just not put in a position to pot goals and rack up points.
I often wonder what kind of player Pisani could have developed into had he not got Colitis? Was his playoff performance a fluke or was he evolving into a 25 goal scorer? After so much adversity it is amazing that Pisani got back to what he always was...A reliable MacT style third liner. This injury does hurt this roster.
Fiveandagame; That's kind of where I was coming from as well.
It's not that I think this is a better team without Pisani but if losing him kick starts some of these other guys then the team is further ahead.
I still believe in the talent assembled here but there are just too many of them that aren't playing up to levels they have already established, never mind one or two of them actually taking a step forward.
A very frustrating situation because for all the doom and gloom around here I still don't think we have seen even one game where they have shown what they are truly capable of.
November 18 2008, 04:11PM
What has me worried is the team entering a funk that just gets worse. You get stressed out, try to hard to turn things around and forget the basics leading to meltdowns like in Detroit. Edmonton isn't a bad team, but they're so worried about losing that they're putting in a lacklustre effort and making things worse.
They need to hit bottom emotionally fast, realize there's nothing to lose, loosen up, and start playing solid, basic hockey. That's what causes turnovers, gets shots on net, and wins games.
What I really want to see is a scenario like in Major League, where CFP's wife is holding the Stanley and the Oil work their butts off to... well, you know.
Nice to know prospects are glowing for the future though.

Linux and Open Source: SUSE Linux Marks 25 Milestones in 20 Years
The Origins: 1992
In September 1992, three German university math students and a recently graduated software engineer formed a company to develop software, as well as function as an advisory Unix group. Seeing the potential of Linux, the team decided to distribute Linux operating systems and offer support services. It chose the name "S.u.S.E," using an acronym for a German term that meant software and systems development. The name was eventually shortened to "SUSE."
SUSE is planning to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a yearlong campaign highlighting its history and its future. The longtime provider of enterprise Linux solutions will showcase major historical milestones and discuss plans for the future through a series of worldwide events that will include SUSECon 2012, the premier event for SUSE customers, partners and enthusiasts. The company's roots go back to the fall of 1992. "We have a lot to celebrate in 2012," Nils Brauckmann, president and general manager of SUSE, said in a statement. "SUSE today is the recognized market leader in several important segments, and is well-positioned to take advantage of an ever-expanding market for commercial Linux and open-source technologies. We plan to recognize the people, the events and the technological developments that have helped bring us to where we are today." SUSE plans to roll out information and activities highlighting how the company has evolved from its early beginnings in the open-source industry to forging partnerships with some of the world's leading technology vendors to deliver innovation, investment protection and enterprise-quality software infrastructure to a generation of customers.

Training and capacity building
Police training plays a key role in INTERPOL's overall mission to promote international police cooperation.
We help to build the capacity of police in our member countries, equipping them with the knowledge, skills and best practices needed to meet today's policing challenges.
Our wide range of initiatives is designed to bridge the gap between national and international policing and help law enforcement agencies make maximum use of the services provided by INTERPOL.
Partnerships with the public and private sectors ensure the continued relevance of our training courses and access to the latest thinking and expertise.
A comprehensive approach
Operational training courses cover specialized crime areas – such as terrorism, drugs and trafficking in human beings – as well as investigative support tools, such as forensic techniques and the use of INTERPOL's network and databases.
Other programmes are aimed at senior officers with responsibility for international police cooperation, and who are in a position to bring about change and improvement upon return to their respective administrations.
The INTERPOL Training Quality Assurance (TQA) ensures the effective delivery of training courses. It ensures that General Secretariat training programmes are in line with the necessary standards; that the training cycle is fully respected to reach the best quality; and that resources are used efficiently.
National Central Bureaus (NCBs) are INTERPOL's link with national police forces and they are increasingly called upon to play a greater operational role as INTERPOL expands the range of its activities. A set of Core Competency Guidelines outline the five main areas of skills and experience required of NCB staff. The guidelines were developed by a group of NCB volunteers representing each of INTERPOL's regions, together with representatives from the General Secretariat.
We are strengthening our Regional Bureaus (RBs) in support of the NCBs, and in collaboration with regional bodies of chiefs of police and other organizations. Each RB is equipped with modern training facilities, and has a designated Regional Training Officer who coordinates and enhances the regional training services.
The INTERPOL Global Learning Centre (IGLC) is a web-based portal giving authorized users access to a comprehensive range of online learning products. The IGLC is aimed at INTERPOL's National Central Bureaus and the wider police community across the world. Its goal is to encourage the sharing of knowledge and best practice between INTERPOL member countries as well as providing the opportunity for interactive e-learning. IGLC contains a wide catalogue of e-learning courses as well as an online library of resources with a wealth of links to reports, documents and websites of law enforcement organizations. This is complemented by resources from other relevant bodies such as universities, police colleges, academies and training institutions.

USC's 'bad-karma week' ends well
LOS ANGELES – Imagine the thoughts running through the mind of USC coach Lane Kiffin when Marqise Lee approached him 45 minutes before kickoff with a swollen face.
Kiffin already knew that his starting running back would be unavailable for the game because of an injury, and there stood Lee, perhaps the best receiver in college football -- if not the best player, period -- panicking because he awoke Saturday with an allergic reaction that caused some swelling around his eyes.
Click here to view highlights of game.
"It was a bad-karma week,'' said Kiffin, also under some heat after USC fired a student manager for intentionally under-inflating game balls last week. "I'm thinking, 'This can't be happening.'''
The swelling eased before kickoff, and so did Kiffin's heart rate, at least temporarily.
The Trojans hoped for a cathartic effort against Arizona State, one that would restore a high level of confidence -- inside and outside the program -- after consecutive losses. Instead, No. 21 USC settled for a sigh-of-relief 38-17 victory over Arizona State in front of 80,154 at the Coliseum.
''It was a big week to get that nasty taste out of our mouths,'' senior safety T.J. McDonald.
That's about the best that could be said for the Trojans. They left the game smiling, but not thrilled. Matt Barkley threw a season-high three interceptions and USC fumbled twice. That's why, even though the Trojans had a much-improved defensive effort, they didn't lead until almost six minutes into the second half.
The Trojans (7-3, 5-3) trailed 17-14 early in the third quarter but closed the game with 24 consecutive points. USC's defense, which had a historically poor effort against Oregon seven days prior, survived a bumpy start and held Arizona State (5-5, 3-4) to only one field goal and 76 total yards in the second half.
Despite some warts, the Trojans set up a high-profile, cross-town showdown with UCLA next Saturday. The winner of that game will go to the Pac-12 title game, likely to face Oregon for a chance at the Rose Bowl.
''We want to get to the Rose Bowl and (first) get that rematch with Oregon,'' said tailback Curtis McNeal, who rushed for a career-best 163 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries and caught a touchdown. "We had to get this one. No matter how we got the job done, we got the job done. Now we have to beat UCLA.''
USC's defense harassed and rattled an opposing quarterback the way it rarely has in recent weeks. Taylor Kelly completed 19 of 30 attempts for 174 yards and one touchdown, but threw three interceptions and was sacked seven times as Arizona State had its lowest point and yardage totals of the season.
Arizona State had only three scoring drives, and all of them came after USC turnovers. The Trojans won't beat UCLA or Notre Dame unless they clean up its baffling turnover trend -- 13 in their last three games -- but give credit to the USC offense for being efficient and smart in the second-half turnaround.
Barkley had one interception returned for a touchdown in the first half and, on the first offensive play of the third quarter, had a pass tipped and intercepted by Arizona State lineman Carl Bradford. The Sun Devils kicked a field goal to take a 17-14 lead 2:23 into the half, but after that, the game belonged to USC.
Specifically, it belonged to McNeal and the Trojans' offensive line.
Usual starter Silas Redd stood on the sidelines in uniform, wearing his helmet, but after the game, Kiffin said that Redd was not available to play. That left McNeal, himself sidelined in recent weeks because of concussion concerns, to lead the way for the USC offense, and that's what he did.
McNeal, USC's starting back in the first five games, gained 113 of his 163 yards in the second half. His 5-yard run, 6:11 into the third quarter, gave USC its first lead at 21-17 and the Trojans never trailed again. On USC's next series, Barkley and McNeal connected for a 22-yard screen pass for a 28-17 lead.
''It was critical to have some success in the third quarter, just to get some juice back in the building,'' said Kiffin, whose team heard some loud boos as it went into halftime tied 14-14.
A new-look offensive line, with Abe Markowitz at left guard, also provided time for Barkley -- who was sacked only twice and finished 20 of 33 for 222 yards -- to do what he does best: throw to Lee.
Robert Woods, shockingly, had only two catches for a total of minus-three yards, but Lee continued to make the amazing look common. Despite his allergy scare, Lee caught 10 passes for 161 yards, including an 80-yard, first-quarter touchdown, and also had six carries for 66 yards.
Lee, despite a publicly dropped hint from Kiffin on Thursday, didn't make an impact as a two-way player. He lined up as a deep safety on a fourth-and-1 play in the first half, but the play was whistled dead by a penalty.

This product is also available in these versions:
Sings The Blues Sessions, CD (£11.50)
In case you hadn't noticed, Ace has been getting thoroughly stuck into its owned repertoire of late. Our extensive-bordering-on-exhaustive campaign to digitise every important RPM/Kent recording by B.B. King is well under way, the still-relatively new 10 inch series is coming on nicely and the long-awaited Modern Downhome series has been garnering all the critical plaudits it obviously merits. Next month will see the first volume 'proper' in our "Central Avenue Scene" series, which will initially draw its repertoire from Jake Porter's Combo imprint and eventually spread out to incorporate Modern and Recorded In Hollywood/Cash/Money recordings. And as well as all this, we're also about to give the Ace treatment to the Modern and Kent recordings of another acclaimed blues legend who fully deserves it, the great Jimmy Witherspoon.
We've had a toe in the water where Spoon is concerned for a number of years, via Ray Topping's excellent compilation of material from the man's first tenure with Modern 'Blowing In From Kansas City' (CDCHD 279). But now we're going for the full plunge, with a number of packages that will embrace all Spoon's recordings for the company from the late 40s to the early 60s. Most of this material has never been issued on CD before and, due to some ultra- intensive research of the Modern acetates, we will also be premiering some previously unknown and undocumented sides as we get deeper into the project.
We're kicking off this month with an expanded version of a great little album that Spoon cut for Joe Bihari at the tail end of the 50s, one that was first released - in two slightly different configurations - as Jimmy Witherspoon SINGS THE BLUES, on Modern's budget label Crown. A budget release it may well have originally been, but there was nothing 'budget' about its quality of musicianship, material or vocals, as this first time CD issue proves. Spoon's inimitable vocal style is ideally suited to the intimate, relaxed musical backup that Bihari surrounded him with here. And how nice it is to hear him paying tribute to his equally stellar contemporaries Nat "King" Cole (Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You), Billy Eckstine (Jelly Jelly), Wynonie Harris (Playful Baby), T-Bone Walker (Stormy Monday), Johnny Watson (She Moves Me), B.B. King (several tracks here), as well as a number of blues giants of a previous generation such as Leroy Carr (Blues Came Falling Down, How Long How Long Blues) and the first Sonny Boy Williamson (When My Heart Beats Like A Hammer).
As well as including everything that featured on either of the original issues of "Sings The Blues" - you'll have to see the sleevenotes for a more detailed explanation of the differences between the regular and "X"-suffixed versions! - project supervisor Roger Armstrong has embellished the original content of both with the addition of a further 13 tracks. These were either cut at the same time as, or shortly before or after, the sessions that produced the original vinyl issue. In titling this collection 'Sings The Blues Sessions' Ace may (or may not!) be being slightly economical with the truth, as no session details were filed on these recordings which were almost certainly cut, on the down-low, without the knowledge of the Los Angeles Musicians Union - seemingly a fairly regular occurrence for Joe Bihari at the time. But whether or not they were included on the original "Sings The Blues" albums, there's a cohesive feel to all of these tracks that itself confirms all notions that the sessions were conducted over a very brief period of time. And what is absolutely certain is that, individually and collectively, they capture Spoon in perhaps the best voice of his career, and wholly comfortable in the company of some expert west coasters who'd doubtless backed him on numerous prior occasions.
Whether the repertoire originated with B.B. King, Jody Reynolds or Hank Williams, Spoon treats it all with maximum respect and puts his own unique stamp on everything he sings here. Much as you would expect from a man whose vast body of work, for Modern and elsewhere, is among the most cherished of all blues legends.The title says it all really - Jimmy Witherspoon Sings The Blues. Doesn't he just!

This B list mostly movie actress is filming a sequel to a hit movie and is back drinking and drugging all the time which is making her performance look awful and putting the production over budget dealing with her issues.
Brittany snowReplyCancel
I think Sharknado is way past the filming stage Tricia. But I got nothing today my A game forgot to show up.ReplyCancel
She loves her coke and rum lol.ReplyCancel
Mine too sandy..
Last few days been in 'Madonna myself(newborn) will call it babnado..makes it hard to sit and think lol
But u prob right …irts way I the can
*nado(not Madonna…I've never, for the record, been in Madonna)ReplyCancel
I haven't been in Madonna either. I wonder if that makes me eligible for minority benefits?ReplyCancel
@ sandy…llloooollReplyCancel
Snow pitch perfectReplyCancel
Carrie Fisher in the Star Wars movieReplyCancel
Michelle RodriguezReplyCancel
Yes..pitch perfect fits best, as there was only 1 installment thus far…the rest are franchises..
Good call PP..but is it snow, Wilson, or director/actress banks???(doubt it but she plays drunk weeell)
Kendrick's seems too together, and well, prim.
Ya never know though
I think Kendrick is more than B, she was nommed for an Oscar.ReplyCancel
Already checked, that was my alternative guess as well but that's not shooting yet, it's still in developmentReplyCancel
If it's PP and it's not Snow I'm gonna be surprised. Every Instagram pic she posts she is glassy-eyed and drinking. And her coke rumors go further back than Hairspray, but it's the best example:
Adam Shankman – rehab
Zac Efron – rehab
Amanda Bynes – hospital stay
Brittany Snow – The Supplier per years of gossip and revealed BIs but she's never been caught because she usually keeps her shit off-set
I'm just glad my boo Tyler got away from her shit.ReplyCancel
Carrie Fisher is an excellent guessReplyCancel
Someone in Fast and Furious 14 or so.ReplyCancel
Michelle Rodriguez? Fast 7 just wrapped today,ReplyCancel
If Selena Gomez is B+ list movie actress,Michelle Rodriguez and above all Carrie Fisher are higher than herReplyCancel
'sequel to a hit movie' implies a part 2 situation, not a series or franchise. Probably Pitch Perfect but that is probably not the only sequel/part 2 movie that is filming now.ReplyCancel
I would think Carrie would at LEAST be referred to as former A.ReplyCancel
Courtney LoveReplyCancel
I was pretty sure I read somewhere that due to Harrison Ford's ankle injury that Star Wars shooting was on hiatus.
And frankly, if it is Carrie and she's off her Lithium and drinking and doing coke? She's the walking dead already.ReplyCancel
Carrie Fisher is cuckoo. She visited a department store I worked in (very high end). Salespeople in one department saw her laying and rolling on the floor, and others confirmed rumors of her smoking cigarettes in the restroom in the couture section. She was drunk/high, really out of it.ReplyCancel

Ospreys kick off their Heinken Cup campaign with tricky clash against Treviso at Liberty Stadium on Friday.
Ospreys kick off their Heinken Cup campaign with tricky clash against Treviso at Liberty Stadium on Friday.
In the past Ospreys may well have been resounding favourites for the opening fixture in Pool Two, but that is no longer the case after Treviso's shock win over the defending Pro12 champions a few weeks ago.
Ospreys has truned their poor start to the season around and head coach Steve Tandy's first game in charge in Europe is the perfect opportunity to show they are on the right track.
Last season saw Treviso enjoy their best campaign in the Heineken Cup for seven years with victory over Biarritz and a draw against the Ospreys.
Kris Burton is wracking up the points in front of goal and in Italy flanker Roberto Barbieri, Treviso have the highest scoring forward in the Pro12 with six tries already this season. The Ospreys will be banking on Dan Biggar being on song with the boot.
Richard Hibbard makes his 150th Ospreys appearance while Jonathan Thomas plays his 50th Heineken Cup game. Ryan Bevington makes his first Heineken Cup start.
"We've been drawn against the best team in Italy, France and England, there are six Heineken Cup titles in the pool and every match is going to be a real test," said Ospreys backs coach Gruff Rees.
"Treviso first up is a difficult one, we've seen for ourselves already, not just on the opening day of the season but also last year in the Heineken, how good a team they are. Leicester have also found it tough going against them in Europe and Toulouse will be well aware of how Biarritz fared against them last season, so we will be paying them the respect you would expect for such a good team.
"It's crucial in Europe to get off to a good start, and crucial that you win your home games, so the importance of Friday night can't be underestimated."
Meanwhile, Treviso welcome back wing Ludovico Nitoglia from injury as he returns to the starting XV for the first time since mid September. Tobias Botes and Kristopher Burton form a dangerous half-back pairing.
In the pack, Manoa Vosawai is back in the number eight jersey after a five-month layoff with a shoulder injury.
The other changes are in the front row where experiened Leonardo Ghiraldini, is joined by Alberto De Marchi and Jacobus "Bees" Roux.
The teams:
Ospreys:15 Richard Fussell, 14 Hanno Dirksen, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Jonathan Thomas, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Ryan Jones, 5 Ian Evans, 4 Alun Wyn Jones (c), 3 Adam Jones, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Ryan Bevington.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Dwyer, 17 Duncan Jones, 18 Aaron Jarvis, 19 George Stowers, 20 Sam Lewis, 21 Rhys Webb, 22 Matthew Morgan, 23 Tom Isaacs.
Treviso: 15 Luke McLean, 14 Ludovico Nitoglia, 13 Tommaso Benvenuti, 12 Alberto Sgarbi, 11 Tommaso Iannone, 10 Kristopher Burton, 9 Tobias Botes, 8 Manoa Vosawai, 7 Alessandro Zanni, 6 Simone Favaro, 5 Valerio Bernabò, 4 Antonio Pavanello (c), 3 Jacobus Roux, 2 Leonardo Ghiraldini, 1 Alberto De Marchi,
Replacements: 16 Enrico Ceccato, 17 Ignacio Fernandez-Rouyet, 18 Pedro Di Santo, 19 Francesco Minto, 20 Paul Derbyshire, 21 Robert Barbieri, 22 Fabio Semenzato, 23 Andrea Pratichetti.

I don't like when its all over! That is why I try to do so much to make it perfect! Which ends up being too much!~
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
haha - I wouldn't have it any other way!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
the throngs of crowds which make the stores hotter than they need to be.
Holiday Single Girl - a blog for singles who love Christmas
Yes - when I was at the mall this past weekend, it was mobbed! Several stores were extremely hot and everyone was complaining
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
And I don't like the clearing up after it is all over, not matter how many times I try to hoover the floor those pesky silver glints of tinsel still mock me. It adds a certain pathos to the inevitable January depression...
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.
Cleaning up is a hassle. That is one of the reasons I went with an artificial tree about 10 years ago! I couldn't take finding pine needles in corners months later!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I don't like how my girlfriends mother keeps a running tally on how many times I have traveled down stairs to the beer fridge on Christmas Eve. I also don't like how her 90 year old grandmother puts her hand on my lap and tells me how much I look like her dead husband Charlie.
Ofcourse I am joking around a little, but I have spoken to my girlfriend a couple of times about it and she just laughs!!
Other than that there is nothing I dislike in the least about Christmas.
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens

Diagnosed: 1999Patient-to-Patient Support Line Volunteer since: 2006
For years, I thought my difficulty breathing was because I was overweight and needed to exercise more. However, in 1999, I was diagnosed with PH. I was overwhelmed and fearful, so I began looking into resources at PHA. During the first few months of being diagnosed, calling the Patient-to-Patient Support Line helped me through my toughest times. My outlook on my diagnosis changed, and I felt a new hope.
About six years ago, I decided I wanted to become a Support Line volunteer because I was very passionate about helping patients and giving them the same support I was given years ago. I've been living with PH for more than 13 years. Prior to that, I was a nurse. My role as a Support Line volunteer has allowed me to continue to help others.
As a Support Line volunteer, the calls I receive deal with a multitude of issues and a variety of emotions. Sometimes I'm crying with the patient; other times there is a lot of laughter and gratitude. I believe my role as a Support Line volunteer is to alleviate the fears and anxiety of patients.
PHA asked me about my experiences as a Patientto- Patient Support Line volunteer, and here's what I said:
There are many reasons a patient should call the Support Line. If you feel you need more information about PH, need a shoulder to lean on, can't seem to find anyone else to relate to, want fears to be taken away, need support, or encouragement … you should call! Maybe you are a family member who doesn't understand PH or why your loved one looks normal, but is actually very sick … Call in!
One time I was on the phone with an individual who was a bishop of a Mormon church. He was a very nice man but was having a hard time adjusting to getting help, as he had just been diagnosed with PH. It became clear how overwhelmed and depressed he was. After he was on the phone with me for a few hours, his entire demeanor changed. Being a Support Line volunteer, you hear many times how grateful someone is, but hearing it from this man saying, "You don't know how grateful I am" was one of my most memorable experiences.
One time I had a caller who was a woman in her early 30s. She just had a child and lived near me. The woman was just diagnosed with PH and was absolutely devastated. I tried to lift her spirits on the call, as well as speaking to her husband who was also upset. I invited them to my support group meeting, and after attending the meeting, they told me, "You've given us hope; thank you."
I've told individuals that back when I was diagnosed with PH, there was only one therapy. Now there are twelve. I tell them PH is not a death sentence. I also suggest they see a medical professional who has had patients with PH in the past. I stress that it's important to find a doctor who knows how to treat PH. I tell them to ask the current doctor, "Do you treat anyone with PH?" After giving one individual this advice, he switched to a new doctor the same week we spoke on the phone!
There is hope. I believe the cure is around the corner. Additionally, PHA has so many resources to offer to help you as you live with PH. Join a support group!

Crittenton was robbed of $55,000 in jewelry in April
The latest update in the case of ex-Lakers guard Javaris Crittenton's murder charge is that he was robbed of $55,000 in jewelry in April -- prompting what police said was a search for vengeance in an Aug. 19 shooting that killed a 23-year-old woman.
The Associated Press' Greg Bluestein reported from Atlanta that he was told by an 18-year-0ld witness standing next to the victim, Jullian Jones, at the shooting that he had never met Crittenton and was not involved in the April robbery.
"I didn't know him at all," Trontavious Stephens said of Crittenton. "I didn't know he existed, and he didn't know I existed. I hadn't seen him a day in my life when he pulled up and started shooting."
Crittenton's defense attorney Eldridge Suggs said his client wasn't in the vehicle and was eager to clear his name.
Crittenton was arrested at John Wayne Airport on Monday night after he checked in for a flight to take him back to Atlanta. An FBI-Los Angeles Police Department Fugitive Task Force, aided by members of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, arrested Crittenton, 23, without incident after he checked in for a flight to Atlanta, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.

Backstage images via Colcci.
Leaping from Paris and Milan Fashion Week, we hop on over to S?o Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW) where iconic Brazilian brand, Colcci just closed out their Inverno 2011 (winter 2011) runway show last Sunday. Gisele B?ndchen also returned to the catwalk, making her comeback of sorts as the face of Colcci. Accompanying her on the runway were Ashton Kutcher (no stranger to modeling) and Alessandra Ambrosio, who stepped in for Gisele during her maternity leave. Demi Moore and Talullah Willis were front row, looking fabulous in their matching nude tone heels. Denim Therapy first covered Colcci in 2008, when the men's denim collection was just emerging. It seems Colcci is now taking serious steps to develop the men's collection further with a well-known male celebrity like Ashton.
For SPFW 2011, Colcci produced a denim-centric collection which speaks to the Brazilian taste for distressed streetwear and sexy silhouettes to enhance curves. We also noticed the use of purple, coral and nude tones, but not surprising for Brazilian fashion, as its fashion designers have a penchant for incorporating vibrant color and patterns for the runway. On-trend fur, wedge lace-up ankle boots and drop-crotch jeans signal Colcci's desire to appeal to the European market. Look for denim on denim, crinkle and bleached out effects. View some of our favorite denim looks from the Colcci runway presentation!

Love this classy tote
"Leather is smooth and soft; color is just as it appears in the picture. Gold trim is true gold color, not brassy. It has a very classic look. Nice size pockets on the inside. Tote is big, but no so big that it gets in the way in small spaces.The only reason I gave it four stars is the handles could be a little more substantial. They probably would not stand up to heavy use, but they are perfect for how I will use this tote."

i guess you'll have to plan a coup elsewhere Asce XD
I'm not happy, I liked being Haruhi's fuzzball.
Maybe we do need a coup d'etat....
It's a quick usurping of the current leader.
A rebellion basically, but I was just kidding.
a coup d'etat (pronounced Ku Day Tah) is also usually violent, although not necessarily. The difference between a coup and a revolution is the coup is preformed by a small group while a revolution is by a large group

The Evergreen Combat Crank is the bait that put Evergreen International on the map, and perhaps one of the finest crankbaits available anywhere in the world. It encompasses everything a premier crankbait should, including ultra sharp Gamakatsu hooks, great finishes, and a perfect pitch rattle system - all in a finely tuned package. Evergreen International is one of Japan's premier tackle company. Hard to find outside of Japan, they have still become world-renowned for their high quality baits that have been proven to out catch competitors offerings.
The Evergreen Combat Crank 120 is the shallow to medium depth crankbait in the Combat Crank Series. Also a great choice for fishing from the shore, it delivers a tantalizing wobble, and also generates excellent deflections. Like a lot of high-end crankbaits, the Combat Crank 120 features a tungsten weight transfer system for increased cast distance. Unlike the competitors, however, the Evergreen weight transfer system actually transfers the tungsten weights all the way to the back of the bait - to achieve the absolute maximum distance possible during casting. It also allows it reach the absolute maximum depth during the retrieve, all while keeping the bait perfectly balanced. Available in a variety of detailed colors, the Evergreen Combat Crank 120 is a new arrival to the US, and sure to make a dent in the bass populations in the 3-4ft range.

Comments: This bait really kicked some @#$ for me, caught 12 bass on it in 2 hours!!! It really surprised me and is worth every penny I paid for it!!! I plan on buying a few more. Just like the other review says change your hooks out after a few times out with one of them. I did lose two huge bass because of the stock hooks.

Comments: Im one of the guys that has been fishing EG baits for a few years now. They sure do rock. Throw one into your cart and try it out. If you dont like it, sell it on Ebay. You WONT be putting it on Ebay. If funds are low, save up. Buy ONE color that you think will work in your area, and give er a go. Keep an eye on the hooks, if you have big fish, you will wanna change em

|In response to Re: toilet flange too high
hj -
How do attach the new flange to the bend?
: You can break the flange off of the bend, and then install a new one at the proper level. The seal between the flange and the bend is essential for leak prevention. It is not just to secure the toilet to the floor.
: : I am remodelling my bathroom and find that the toilet flange is over an inch off the floor. This means that the wax ring gets compressed to a couple of millimeters, leaving not much of a seal. It has evidently been this way a long time with no problems-- thoug I have no idea how well the new toilet will cope with this height.

Address to the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly by His Excellency Frans Timmermans
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of The Netherlands. New York, 27 September 2013.
Mr. President, Mr. Secretary-General, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
This year we celebrate the centennial of the Peace Palace in The Hague, seat of the International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and symbol of the pursuit of peace by means of law. Next year we will commemorate the centennial of the first of two suicidal world wars which caused unspeakable human suffering, horrible crimes against humanity and oppression of half of Europe's population until the Berlin wall came down in 1989. Out of the ashes of these global conflagrations grew the desire of the peoples of the world to put an end to violent conflict, to guarantee human rights for every human being in every country. "Never again" is what humanity wanted. Unfortunately, so far it is not what we have been able to deliver to everyone.
During the festive celebrations this year in The Hague, which gave fresh impetus to the peaceful settlement of disputes, there were scenes of unspeakable violence in Syria, including the use of chemical weapons. More recently in Nairobi dozens of people were killed by terrorists. One of the victims was Dr Elif Yavuz, a young Dutch woman who was eight months pregnant with her first baby. My heart goes out to Dr Yavuz's family, to all the victims of the Nairobi attack and to their loved ones.
The powerlessness of the international community to put an end to abuses like these has led in the past to the establishment of new bodies and instruments. After the Second World War, the UN was founded and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted. Following more recent genocides, the International Criminal Court was established. The use of chemical weapons by Saddam Hussein led to the Chemical Weapons Convention and the OPCW. So the institutions and instruments are in place. The question is, what is preventing them from delivering? Perhaps the answer was given already four centuries ago by Baruch Spinoza when he wrote: "Peace is not the absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice".
It is my conviction that the international community must keep working on the project we launched a hundred years ago. We should follow the example of Dr Yavuz, who was committed to helping people suffering from HIV/AIDS and malaria. We should work to achieve her aims and uphold her ideals. We should make clear that terrorism will never triumph. We should invest in the UN and support it as effectively as we can. Mr Secretary-General, we strongly support you and the message you gave here on Tuesday. We will join you on the road to peace, justice and development.
The Netherlands advocates a coherent agenda to strengthen the international legal order. A peaceful world demands a sustainable legal order and a powerful agenda for development. It demands a strategy for disarmament and a focus on human rights. These are the principles of the Netherlands' foreign policy. A partnership for peace, justice and development is thus the cornerstone of the Dutch candidacy for the UN Security Council in 2017-2018.
Peace and security
The world was shocked to discover that an attack with chemical weapons had taken place in Syria on 21 August. The attack violated one of the most important peremptory norms of international law. The 1925 Geneva Protocol, to which Syria is a party, bans the use of chemical weapons.
The situation in Syria poses a clear threat to international peace and security. The Netherlands calls on the UN Security Council to take concerted action to address this threat. Syria does not comply with the international norm that requires it to protect its civilian population. But the international community also has a responsibility. The Netherlands supports the proposal that permanent Security Council members should henceforth refrain from using their vetoes in votes on intervention to stop the mass atrocity crimes identified by the 2005 world summit. They should show they are serious about their responsibility to protect vulnerable populations, underlining our consensus that genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing must never be tolerated. As the Secretary-General said: those responsible for the atrocities in Syria should be held accountable, in accordance with international law. The use of chemical weapons is a war crime that falls under the Rome Statute. If the Syrian government itself sees no possibility of tracking down and prosecuting the guilty parties, it can ask the ICC to do so. If Syria makes no request, the Security Council must take action. Finally, as the Secretary-General also said, we can hardly be satisfied with the destruction of chemical weapons while the wider war continues to destroy Syria. A peaceful solution is needed. And the women of Syria should be involved in making this happen, as there can be no solution without them. UN Security Council resolution 1325 on women, peace and security provides an outstanding tool for promoting inclusive conflict resolution. This week at the General Assembly we have hosted a side-event marking the importance of women's political participation for successful transitions in the Middle East and North Africa. The Executive Director of UN Women told me earlier this week that courage is every woman's middle name. It certainly is in Syria.
Middle East
The Netherlands supports John Kerry's efforts to encourage Israel and the Palestinian Authority to arrive at a two-state solution through direct negotiations. The international community should support the Israeli-Palestinian talks. Only a political solution can lead to lasting peace.
Broader security issues
Fifty years ago US President John F. Kennedy expressed the fear that in the 1970s there would be 15, 20 or even 25 nuclear weapons states. Thanks in part to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, this danger was averted. But the risk of further proliferation of nuclear weapons has not receded. While much has been achieved in the field of disarmament, we still have a long way to go. In his speech in Berlin in June 2013, President Obama warned of the danger of nuclear weapons. "As long as nuclear weapons exist, we are not truly safe," he said – and he is right. He plans to take new steps to reduce strategic nuclear arsenals. He also wants to make substantial reductions in the number of US and Russian non-strategic weapons in Europe. The Netherlands favours these steps, strongly supports these efforts and wants to contribute to them.
March next year, the Nuclear Security Summit will begin in The Hague. My country's hosting of this summit is in keeping with our tradition as a country of peace, justice and security. Nuclear materials can play an important role in curing our illnesses and heating our houses. And fortunately, the likelihood of terrorists using nuclear materials in an attack is small. But if it did happen, the consequences for the world would be very serious indeed. The Nuclear Security Summit is meant to give fresh impetus to global efforts to ensure nuclear security and prevent nuclear terrorism, by making and implementing agreements at the highest multilateral level. Governments, businesses, researchers and organisations from many countries are working together to reduce the quantities of nuclear materials, to enhance the security of the materials that remain, and to combat nuclear smuggling.
The centennial of the Peace Palace is a good occasion to highlight the peaceful settlement of disputes. The Netherlands used the celebrations to strengthen instruments for peaceful settlement. We advocate taking three interrelated steps:
- We need to encourage countries to recognise compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice. As UN member states we recognise the ICJ as a principal organ of the United Nations. In my view, recognising its compulsory jurisdiction is a logical and necessary next step.
- Secondly, we must help countries realise how useful and flexible arbitration is as a way of settling disputes. The Security Council and the General Assembly could draw parties' attention to this instrument more often, and we should advocate it more in the public debate.
- Thirdly, we must reduce the obstacles to the peaceful settlement of disputes by making alternatives available. This is why the Netherlands enthusiastically supports the UN Department of Political Affairs and NGOs that promote mediation.
In his 2011 report on the Responsibility to Protect, the Secretary-General rightly pointed out the importance of mediation as a means of preventing atrocity crimes. National legal systems are the foundation of the international legal order. Strengthening national legal systems should make it possible to keep the courtrooms of the International Criminal Court closed. The ICC is inextricably linked to the global chain of legal institutions. It delivers justice in the wake of international crimes, thus helping to prevent future offences. So it is crucial that countries continue to accede to the Rome Statute and that popular support for it is maintained. We need to ensure that countries that have acceded to the Statute continue to work with the ICC.
Human rights
This year marks the 65th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 20th anniversary of the Vienna Declaration. The Universal Declaration is an enduring source of inspiration. It was adopted without a single dissenting vote, under the inspired leadership of Eleanor Roosevelt, who acted as a change agent before the term was coined. Before the vote she rightly said, "We stand today at the threshold of a great event both in the life of the United Nations and in the life of mankind."
The World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna underlined that human rights are universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated.
Twenty years after Vienna, the blueprints of our human rights infrastructure are complete. Now it is time to ensure the necessary implementation, political will, capacity, financial resources and treaty body reforms. To that end, Dutch human rights policy stresses the importance of forging different trilateral partnerships in different regions. We focus especially on protecting human rights defenders and promoting LGBT and women's rights.
Without development there can be no global peace and security. We are fast approaching 2015, and have made great progress. In the next two years we can still make a difference and advance towards the Millennium Development Goals.
The post-2015 agenda will also benefit from a single, unified framework: we cannot talk about the plight of the world's poorest people in isolation from the environmental problems endangering life on our planet. It is crucial to ensure that development is sustainable, so we can balance and integrate its economic, social and ecological dimensions. Peace, security and the rule of law constitute a fourth vital element of sustainable development. The key words for the post-2015 agenda are better aid, more trade and stronger policy coherence for sustainable development. Also, we need to promote women's rights. This includes sexual and reproductive health and rights, as well as equal opportunity. I have four children, two of them girls. It would be unbearable for me as a parent if they did not have equal opportunity.
It goes without saying that a nation that was built by claiming its lands from the sea, is concerned when rising sea levels might endanger that claim. Therefore, we feel a strong solidarity with other countries that are threatened in the same way. The Netherlands wants to strengthen the synergy between climate and poverty reduction policies, particularly in the field of water and food security.
I'd like to close today with a quotation. "How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing." This is what British Prime Minister Chamberlain said exactly 75 years ago, on 27 September 1938, in a radio address on the Sudeten crisis. Czechoslovakia was dismembered shortly afterwards. This was not just the fault of the signatories of the Munich Agreement. The entire international community looked the other way, especially Czechoslovakia's fellow democracies in Europe, including my own country.
Today we can no longer pretend to know nothing of quarrels in far away countries or of the people who live there. If we fail, it is not because of the deficiency of the legal instruments that we have developed. It is because of the international community's deficient sense of responsibility. It is our duty to take responsibility in addressing what is happening in Syria. The Secretary-General talked earlier this week about leadership and identified Nelson Mandela as a shining example. On Syria, we should follow the Secretary-General's lead and make peace and justice a reality.
Investing in the UN is an investment in our common future. We are shareholders with a long term interest. We need to have the instruments for peace, justice and development ready for the moment they can help avert catastrophe. That is why we invested in the OPCW, which now proves crucial in the Syrian crisis. That is why we should invest in the legitimacy and effectiveness of the Security Council. That is why we should work as hard as we can to come up with a clear and ambitious post 2015 sustainable development agenda. We are all in this together, we should invest together in our United Nations.
Thank you.
