Toulon cruised past Cardiff Blues thanks to seven tries in a 45-25 win over the Welsh side at the Stade Mayol in the Heineken Cup.
Toulon cruised past Cardiff Blues thanks to seven tries in a 45-25 win over the Welsh side at the Stade Mayol in the Heineken Cup on Saturday.
The result leaves Toulon five points clear of Montpellier – whom they face next week – at the top of Pool Six.
The hosts were left stunned after the Blues took a surprise lead in the opening ten minutes, with Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny finishing in the corner after a break from Owen Williams, but from then on the traffic only went one way.
Toulon were given too much space to attack in the Blues defence and created a whole host of chances in the first half, coming away with three tries when they could have had more.
Jonny Wilkinson added the conversion to Rudi Wulf's try shortly after Halfpenny's score to reduce the visitors' lead to a single point, and just over five minutes later Xavier Chiocci strode over for another converted score to give the hosts a lead they would not relinquish for the remainder of the game.
JC Orioli added a third try shortly before the break for Toulon and, though Wilkinson was this time wide with the extras, the hosts' dominance was apparent, and a comeback from the Blues appeared unlikely.
Looking for a response after their first home defeat since September 2011 against Racing Métro last weekend, Maxime Mermoz wrapped up the try bonus point after 43 minutes.
The Blues struggled to cope with Toulon's strength in depth as Joe van Niekerk, Matt Giteau and Simon Shaw entered the fray and the hosts racked up three more tries. Alexis Palisson and Mathie Bastareaud both touched down before Giteau converted Florian Fresia's clinical effort just after the hour.
The Blues stemmed the tide with an unconverted score from Alex Cuthbert and, to their credit, added two further consolation tries in the closing minutes through Halfpenny and Dafydd Hewitt to give the final scoreline a more credible look.
For Toulon:
Tries: Wulf, Chiocci, Orioli, Mermoz, Palisson, Bastareaud, Fresia
Cons: Wilkinson 4, Giteau

The Ishaqzaade actor has teamed up with the Vicky Donor actor to give acting lessons to aspiring actors on a reality show
Parineeti Chopra has proved her calibre as a bindaas actor and Ayushmann Khurrana has proven that he is every bit as good as his look when it comes to acting. Now the duo have paired up for a reality show and this time they won't be judging. The actors will be teaching aspiring actors nuances of acting and will help them become the upcoming stars of Bollywood.
Parineeti has faced a lot of flak in the past from the style gurus for her abysmal fashion gurus. But at the event Parineeti managed to cut a pretty picture in a peplum Varun Bahl dress teamed with a subtle red lip, metallic Louboutins and a cocktail ring by Sapphire.
The show titled Zee Cinestars Ki Khoj will be aired of television soon.

The waste of a staggering 1.3 billion tonnes of food per year is not only causing major economic losses but also wreaking significant harm on the natural resources that humanity relies upon to feed itself
Available in:
This is the first study to analyze the impacts of global food wastage from an environmental perspective, looking specifically at its consequences for the climate, water and land use, and biodiversity. Among its key findings: Each year, food that is produced but not eaten guzzles up a volume of water equivalent to the annual flow of Russia's Volga River and is responsible for adding 3.3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases to the planet's atmosphere.
Available in: | | | | |
This report reflects the conclusions of the Workshop and the analysis undertaken by FAO and Platform for Agrobiodiversity Research over the past year. This Workshop, held at FAO in April 2010, explored the different challenges that confronted agriculture and the options that existed or could be developed that would be needed to meet the challenges of feeding the world, coping with climate change and improving impact of agriculture on the environment.

stratosphere (strătˈəsfēr) [key], second lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere. The level from which it extends outward varies with latitude; it begins c.51/2 mi (9 km) above the poles, c.6 or 7 mi (c.10 or 11 km) in the middle latitudes, and c.10 mi (16 km) at the equator, and extends outward c.20 mi (32 km). It is a zone of dry, thin air, cold and clear, with a horizontal temperature gradient, that, in its lower level, is the reverse of that near the earth's surface. In polar regions the temperature is - 40°F to - 50°F ( - 40°C to - 46°C), but near the equator it ranges from - 80°F to below - 100°F ( - 62°C to below - 74°C); in the middle latitudes it remains steady at about - 67°F ( - 55°C).
The stratified variations in temperature were deduced from the behavior of sound waves transmitted through the atmosphere, which travel faster in warm air than in cold air. Weather balloons carrying electronic equipment are launched to ascertain conditions in the stratosphere; information on this atmospheric layer is also acquired from earth-orbiting satellites.
Within the stratosphere at altitudes of 12 to 30 mi (19–48 km) is the ozone layer. Its capacity to intercept most of the sun's ultraviolet rays is fundamental to the maintenance of life on the earth. Without this filtering effect, the sun's full radiation would destroy animal tissue, but sufficient ultraviolet radiation reaches the earth to support the activation of vitamin D in humans. Elevated temperatures found in the ozone layer result from its absorption of radiant energy.
Measurements of Antarctica's ozone layer have registered a consistent seasonal "hole," or thinning, in the layer above the South Pole since 1985, and since then similar thinnings have been found over other areas of the world. There is evidence that the ozone is being broken down by chlorine atoms that are released when sunlight breaks up substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Montreal Protocol and its amendments now ban these substances and have set time limits on the production of others that may also affect the ozone layer.

Scott Cullen looks at Patrick Kane's dramatic turnaround from last season, the Leafs and Flyers have early returns on their offseason trade, Kovalchuk's crazy ice time, notable healthy scratches and more.
RAISING KANEComing off a 2011-2012 season in which he scored a career-low, yet still respectable, 66 points, Blackhawks RW Patrick Kane made matters worse when offseason partying brought him notoriety for all the wrong reasons.
Resisting any urges to trade Kane appears to have been the right move for the Blackhawks, as the 24-year-old is off to a phenomenal start (9 G, 10 A, +7, 12 GP). While Kane does have an unsustainable 27.3% shooting percentage (shoooting 11.2% for his career) and his on-ice shooting percentage (5-on-5) is 18.57%, the highest among top-six forwards throughout the league, according to www.behindthenet.ca.
What the percentages suggest is that Kane is getting some good fortune, along with improved production on the power play (six of his 19 points have come on the power play this year, compared to 12 of 66 points last season).
Kane is averaging 2.75 shots on goal per game this season, which is decent, but actually his lowest per-game average since his rookie season (2007-2008), so unless his shots on goal start increasing, Kane is due for some regression. That's pretty much the case with any player on pace for 129 points over an 82-game season, but it's worth noting how the percentages have played in Kane's favour early in the season.
EARLY TRADE RETURNSMaple Leafs LF James van Riemsdyk started his Maple Leafs career on the third line, playing under 14 minutes in the first two games of the season. Throw in a Joffrey Lupul injury and, since those first couple gamees, van Riemsdyk has tallied seven goals and nine points in 10 games, playing closer to 19 minutes per game.
Though it's unlikely that van Riemsdyk will continue to score on 17.1% of his shots, it is encouraging that he's averaging 3.42 shots on goal per game. His previous career-best was 2.81 per game last season.
On the other side of the deal, Luke Schenn has two points and is plus-3 after playing more than 20 minutes through his first dozen games with the Flyers. Schenn has been better than he was in his Toronto years, but remains on the wrong side of the possession numbers and has benefitted from strong Flyers goaltending thus far (who would have guessed?).
Sticking with the Schenn family for a moment, Brayden Schenn was an appealing breakthrough option at the start of the season when there was a chance that he would play on a line with Claude Giroux.
After starting the year with two points in six games, Schenn has picked up the pace, scoring six points in his last five games, though he's only put five shots on goal in those five games. Most recently, he's had Jakub Voracek and Zac Rinaldo, of all people, on his wings at even strength (per www.leftwinglock.com).
IRON LUNGSIt looks like the Devils are trying to get their money's worth out of LW Ilya Kovalchuk, who is playing a career-high 26:00 per game (more than last year's 24:26, which was a career-high then).
Sidney Crosby ranks second among forwards in ice time per game at 20:49.
Since the NHL started tracking individual ice time (1997-1998), here are the top 20 forwards in terms of ice time per game for a single season:
PAYDAY COMINGDevils RW David Clarkson scored two goals against Pittsburgh Sunday, giving him nine goals and 15 points in 12 games this season. Clarkson broke through as a 30-goal scorer in 2011-2012, but he's taking his game to another level this year, playing more than ever (17:36) and while it's not likely that he'll score on 18.0% of his shots over the long haul, Clarkson has a career-best 4.17 shots on goal per game. If he's getting that many chances, the offensive production is legit.
Clarkson will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, so if it turns out that he's on his way to a career-best season, there will be a significant pay raise on a long-term deal in his future.
BURNS RETURNSThe Sharks got D Brent Burns back in the lineup, after he missed the first 10 games of the season due to recovery from sports hernia surgery. Over the past two seasons, Burns ranks fourth among all defencemen with 28 goals.
With Burns back in the fold, the Sharks sent Matt Irwin back to Worecester of the AHL. Irwin, 25, had two points, was even and acquitted himself well in 18:43 per game with the Sharks.
ISLANDER REINFORCEMENTSAlready tied for seventh in goals per game, the New York Islanders added some talent to the lineup over the weekend, getting LW Josh Bailey and D Lubomir Visnovsky into their first games of the season.
Bailey skated with Casey Cizikas and Matt Martin at even strength and saw second-unit power play time in his first game after knee surgery. If there's something positive to be taken from such a small sample as a single game, it bears noting that Bailey had seven shots on goal against Buffalo on Saturday in 12:48 of ice time. His previous career-high for shots, in his previous 291 NHL games, was five.
At 36-year-old, Visnovsky may have been reluctant to join the Islanders and last season's 27 points was his lowest total since 2002-2003, but he was plus-2, had three shots on goal and played more than 20 minutes against Buffalo. The Islanders can use his puck-moving ability in their top four and on the top power play unit.
POWER IN D.C.Playing a career-high 18:43 per game for Washington, RW Troy Brouwer has a point per game (3 G, 2 A) in the last five games. The power forward also contributes hits and penalty minutes (for leagues that worry about such things), giving him value, especially as long as he remains on Washington's top power play unit.
ON THE BOARDCanucks C Jordan Schroeder has been skating with Mason Raymond and Jannik Hansen on what is effectively the Canucks' second line and Schroeder tallied the first two goals of his NHL career against Calgary Saturday.
A first-round pick in 2009, Schroeder hasn't produced enough at the AHL level (100 points in 178 career games) to believe that he's destined to be an NHL scorer, but if Schroeder can contribute a little offensively, he could improve the Canucks' depth even after Ryan Kesler returns to the lineup.
BREAKTHROUGH FOR BLUESHIRTRangers sophomore LW Carl Hagelin had scored one goal on 26 shots through his first 10 games of the season before scoring two goals and an assist, registering six shots on goal, against Tampa Bay Sunday.
Skating on a line with Derek Stepan and Rick Nash, Hagelin finally got some results but, as a player who tends to have good possession numbers saddled with bad luck (3.57% 5-on-5, on-ice SH%) he's due for improved luck.
HE'S A KILLERThe Tampa Bay Lightning called up Alex Killorn from Syracuse of the AHL, where he had 38 points and a plus-6 rating in 44 games.
The 23-year-old was a third-round pick in 2007 and played at Harvard, scoring 46 points in 34 games as a senior last season before heading to the AHL for a late-season trial.
LW Ryan Malone is day-to-day with a lower body injury, so Killorn moved right into a top-six spot with Tampa Bay, skating with Vincent Lecavalier and Teddy Purcell, playing 13:17 and picking up an assist in his NHL debut.
NOTABLE HEALTHY SCRATCHES(through the first three weeks of the season) Adam Larsson, D, New Jersey; Tyler Myers, D, Buffalo; Alex Goligoski, D, Dallas; Marcus Johansson, RW, Washington; Jamie McBain, D, Carolina; Lars Eller, C, Montreal; Henrik Tallinder, D, New Jersey; Ryan Whitney, D, Edmonton; Cody Franson, D, Toronto; Brian Boyle, C, N.Y. Rangers; Kris Russell, D, St. Louis; Roman Hamrlik, D, Washington; Simon Gagne, LW, Los Angeles; Shane O'Brien, D, Colorado; Douglas Murray, D, San Jose; Chris Butler, D, Calgary; Joe Corvo, D, Carolina; Matt D'Agostini, RW, St. Louis; Dustin Penner, LW, Los Angeles; Mike Komisarek, D, Toronto; T.J. Galiardi, LW, San Jose; Mathieu Perrault, C, Washington; Cory Sarich, D, Calgary; Alex Kovalev, RW, Florida.
FANTASY HOCKEY CHALLENGEMOST ADDED PLAYERSKari Lehtonen, G, Dallas (+8.3 to 9.7% ownership) - The Stars have four games this week and Lehtonen, with a .928 save percentage, has a firm hold on the number one job in Big D.
Kevin Shattenkirk, D, St. Louis (+10.3 to 33.4% ownership)Alex Pietrangelo, D, St. Louis (+11.7 to 42.4% ownership) - The Blues have four games this week, along with the second and third-highest scoring defencemen.
Patrick Kane, RW, Chicago (+9.6 to 24.2% ownership) - The second-leading scorer in the league, with 19 points in 12 games, is re-establishing his credentials as an elite scorer.
Zach Parise, LW, Minnesota (+4.6 to 17.6% ownership) - He could use more help from his teammates, but Parise has six goals and ten points in 11 games, so with the Wild playing four times this week, it's understandable that Parise still holds a lot of appeal.
Jamie Benn, C, Dallas (+4.6 to 5.3% ownership) - Four games for the Stars this week, combined with Benn scoring six points in the last three, makes for a popular addition.

All manner of farm equipment, from animals to farm bikes, chainsaws, tools and even drench, can be found going cheap somewhere, but where did they come from?
New Zealand's rural communities are being targeted by criminals who see unattended sheds and remote paddocks as easy targets.
So the deal that seems too good to be true, could mean someone else is filing an insurance claim for its theft.
Rural crime rates are rising in many parts of the country and summer is a traditional stock rustling time.
A neighbourhood watch-type system is a relatively easy way rural people can make their communities safer.
If you did not catch up with your neighbours at Christmas, now is a good time to invite them around for a barbecue and chat about improving local security.
It is good to be able to ring someone down the road for help identifying vehicles, or let them know if you are going to have a look at suspicious activity on your farm at night.
This forms the backbone of neighbourhood watch groups which have proven effective in cutting crime rates for decades.
The past few years have seen a huge rise in straight-out rustling. Some instances are on an almost industrial scale with reports of larger jobs involving 200 or more sheep at a time over the past three years. This applies to cattle also.
We know stock trucks are commonly used and go from one end of the country to the other in a day, which makes rustling hard to stop, but a little extra vigilance by us all would make a difference.
Many farms being repeatedly hit are investing in better on-farm security and there are several things every farmer can do make their property more secure.
A useful tool to protect against theft is the New Zealand Police's Operation SNAP (Serial Number Action Partnership) at www.snap.org.nz.
This is an online tool aiming to reduce property theft by recording and storing the serial numbers, photos and descriptions of valuable assets. Then, if they are stolen, this information can be quickly provided to police. It might seem a daunting task, but is well worth it.
A few other security tips include:
Noting registration numbers or taking photos of strange or suspicious vehicles around your area. Thieves often stake out properties before they go in, so watch out for any suspicious people or vehicles.
Consider investing in an alarm system, not just for your home, but your garages and sheds. Even if you are not home, if it goes off burglars will not know how long they have until someone arrives to check it out.
Avoid leaving easily moved items such as tools, chainsaws and farm bikes around, especially with keys. Also hide away spare keys rather than having them hanging on hooks in the kitchen or in obvious places, such as under pot plants by the back door.
Criminals prefer to drive as they are less likely to be seen than if they walk up to premises, so making sure your gates are secured with quality locks is a good deterrent.
Do not trust people arriving unannounced on to your property with weak excuses, such as looking for a pet or arriving at a 'wrong' address. Use your phone or digital camera to quietly photograph them, but without them seeing, and take note of any vehicles.
Homes are often burgled when the owners are busy outside. It is well worth locking up if you are heading out to the back of your farm or about to use loud machinery such as chainsaws.
Anyone who sees or hears about something illegal, but fears repercussions if it were known they had talked to police, can call the anonymous Crimestoppers line.
Crimestoppers is a 24-hour, seven day a week service where people can either call 0800 555-111 or fill out a form on www.crimestoppers-nz.org.

MGM is urging the Massachusetts Gaming Commission not to delay its timeline for awarding resort casino licenses.
The company appears to be the sole remaining bidder for the western Massachusetts license after voters in Palmer this week rejected a plan from Mohegan Sun by 93 votes.
MGM's Michael Mathis told the commission Thursday that competition with other states is just one reason to stay with the current schedule.
"New York just passed expanded gaming," Mathis says. "There's going to be incoming competition in upstate New York and that's a market that we plan to go after. We like to be first to market. Our experience is first to market, you create a database and you're more competitive. So I would really encourage the commission to try to keep to these timelines, because I think – overall – it would benefit the commonwealth and certainly benefit a project like ours."
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission plans to award resort casino licenses by April of next year.
The commission's chairman, Stephen Crosby, on Wednesday noted that MGM does not have a lock on a license. Crosby said the company still must pass a background check and submit a final application for its downtown Springfield casino.
It also must negotiate deals with surrounding towns to help offset increased traffic and public safety costs.

Hi Edward - Hope you have a great Thanksgiving holiday! All the best to you and your family!
Thank you. Have a lot of fun!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
I noticed and appreciated your thoughts and reasoning in one of the forums! I found myself agreeing, but I probably would not have broke it down as easily (and less complicated) the way you did:-). Appreciated the tags!

Project Number: 5303-21220-005-03-N
Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Mar 15, 2009
End Date: May 15, 2012
Evaluate the potential for permanent establishment of a Moroccan strain of Peristenus relictus in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California by 1) assessing the incidence of parasitism within a localized population of immatures of the western tarnished plant bug (Lygus hesperus) resulting from inoculative releases of P. relictus, and 2) documenting the persistence of P. relictus populations following releases.
A plot of alfalfa 1-2 acres in area and divided into three sub-plots will be established and managed without insecticides. Alfalfa will be regularly mowed in narrow, alternating strips to maximize survival of lygus nymphs. Parasitoids will be introduced through periodic inoculative releases (once or twice per month) during spring and summer months. During the first two years, population indices for lygus nymphs will be obtained by sampling before initial parasitoid release (early spring) and after the final release (August or September) and the incidence of parasitism will be estimated from the dissection of late-instar nymphs. During the third year of the project, lygus population indices and estimates of parasitism will be obtained periodically (biweekly) throughout the spring and summer months. Overwintering potential and establishment of the parasitoid will be determined based on the incidence of parasitism observed in late-winter or early-spring lygus collections. Documents NFCA with CDFA. Formerly 5303-21220-003-12N (11/10).

Bath all but sealed their place in the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals in Italy while Gloucester beat London Irish on Saturday.
Bath all but sealed their place in the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals in Italy on Saturday while London Welsh were knocked out by Grenoble.
Gloucester moved clear at the top of Pool 1 after thrashing London Irish before the late game saw Perpignan move level on points with Worcester after beating the Warriors 13-6 in France.
Calvisano 5-39 Bath
London Welsh 13-27 Grenoble
Rovigo 10-16 Bizkaia Gernika RT
Gloucester 47-3 London Irish
Perpignan 13-6 Worcester Warriors
A hat-trick for Horacio Agulla and tries for Brett Sharman, Tom Biggs, Jack Cuthbert and Josh Ovens gave Bath their fourth bonus-point win of the campaign against Calvisano. Stephen Donald added two conversions to the final score, with a clinical performance from the visitors seeing the bonus point wrapped up by half-time.
London Welsh's loss to Grenoble at the Kassam Stadium leaves them 10 points adrift of Pool Five leaders Stade Français with just two games remaining. Grenoble hooker Laurent Bouchet scored a brace of first-half tries to make it 15-6 at the break. Florian Ninard scored early in the second half before Mike Denbee gave the home side hope as he grabbed a try. But Lotu Taukeiaho killed off any hopes of a comeback with a bonus-point try for Grenoble.
Shane Monahan's four tries were the highlight as Gloucester put London Irish to the sword. The six-try romp sees Gloucester open up a seven point gap at the top of Pool One with a trip to Bordeaux and home game against Mont de Marsan to come. Gloucester led 6-3 before two tries in final six minutes of the first half swung the game decisively. Irish were a spent force thereafter. Rob Cook and Dan Robson rubbed salt into the wounds as they added late tries.
The late game saw Perpignan move level on points with Worcester after recording a 13-6 win over the English side at Stade Aime-Giral. The only try of the game went to Richard Haughton while James Hook kicked eight points to Andy Goode's two penalties.

Love this shoe!
"This shoe is so cute! The color is a bright neon pink. The feel of this shoe is lightweight and cushioned. The only problem I am having is with the size. I always where size 7 in shoes and size 7 1/2 in tennis shoes. My last pair of tennis shoes were a pair of ASICS from DSW and they were size 7 1/2. I thought I would be able to order online with no problem because of my previous history. It turns out these shoes may run a little big. I actually had to order size 7 last week so that I can compare. I am stiill waiting for these to arrive. I think this shoe has a wider toe area??? My heel also felt like it was slipping a little. I do know that I will make either the size 7 or size 7 1/2 work because I like the look so much!"

(April 11) Today we're celebrating. . . Barbershop Quartet DayWednesday, April 11th, 2007
Barbershop Quartet Day
…barbershop harmony is a style of unaccompanied singing with three voices harmonizing to the melody. The lead usually sings the melody, with the tenor harmonizing above the lead. The bass sings the lowest harmonizing notes and the baritone provides in-between notes, either above or below the lead to make chords (specifically, dominant-type or "barbershop" sevenths) that give barbershop its distinctive, "full" sound*
I'm not quite sure if this video clip qualifies as a "Barbershop Quartet," but this is just too amazing not to feature! Enjoy!

By GARY ARRINGTONSports reporter
With the playing of the annual Black and Gold football game last Friday night signaling the start of the season, this year's Emery Spartans are ready to do battle.
Under the watchful eye of new head coach Kevin Reynolds, assistants Mark Justice and Eric Mortensen guided the divided squad to some hard-hitting football to the thrill of parents, fans and cheerleaders.
The underclassmen played the first game of the evening and displayed plenty of talent to show Emery fans that they are ready to carry on the rich football tradition of Emery High.
The varsity team took the field next and with Bowie Jeffs quarterbacking both teams, the Spartans aired it out and several receivers showed lots of promise.
This year's wide receivers appeared to be Zeke Atwood and Brandon Olsen, H-back is Isaac Bawden and a fight for starting rights at tight end is brewing between Don Greenburg and Mike Blomquist. Starters in the backfield appear to be Spencer Cook and Matt Stucki.
Playing in a passing camp at Snow College last month, this group played well and took second place. They have some talent.
The offensive line appears solid with Jordan Leamaster listed at center, Colin Jensen and Jackson Pace at guard and Keaton Cowley and Bruce Clement at tackle.
On the opposite side of the ball, there is a real dogfight for starting position on the defensive line. Keaton Cowley, who returned an interception for a touchdown in the Black and Gold game, Don Greenburg, Corey Montgomery and Ben Roundy are all vying at the defensive end position. Jackson Pace, Colin Jensen and Brady Larsen are going at it to play defensive tackle.
Listed linebackers are Spencer Cook, Mike Blomquist and Brandon Olsen. Cornerbacks are Isaac Bawden and Matt Stucki and starting safeties are Bowie Jeffs and Zeke Atwood.
So how will this team play out? Region 8 is tough. Lehi and North Sanpete were semi-finals last year, Delta is annually playing in November, but then again so is Emery. To be honest, this year's team could finish last in the region, but if they play as a team they could also win it.
The Spartans are on the road this Friday night at Union High in Roosevelt.
Good Luck Spartans.

Resveratrol Redux: The Bad and the Good
This past week, Dr. Dipak Das, tenured research faculty at the University of Connecticut, was found guilty of 145 counts of research misconduct by an internal institutional review board. Das's research findings had strongly supported the idea that resveratrol found in wine is capable of conveying health benefits to wine drinkers. It's worth noting that even though Das was very prolific—that is, his lab turned out more than the average number of papers—Das didn't publish in high-profile journals, whether because his work was rejected by the top-tier or because he chose to submit manuscripts only to less competitive publications. For more detail on Das's scientific misconduct, see Tom Mansell's piece published on Palate Press last week.

Beautiful Shoe but not so comfy
"These shoes are beautiful! So beautiful that I don't want to return them even though they hurt my feet after wearing them around the house for half an hour. I have wide feet so they squeeze my feet and going up a size won't help. They are more pink than coral in person. I prefer the color on the website but they are still very pretty. I highly recoomend this shoe to those with narrow feet and those that don't have narrow feet, then decide which event you will wear these to - dinner or a date is fine but all day at work is a no go."

I have been a resident of Emery County for 23 years. I have been married to my husband Shane for 31 years. We have four children Dillon, Clint, Cole, and Shala. We have four grandchildren.
My commitment to family, hard work and community reflects the values that characterize the people of Emery County. I believe the value of the American family cannot be over stated. It is the responsibility of every citizen to support families and help instill in our youth the basic values of honesty, common courtesy, service, and patriotism.
I feel every person should have a right to a decent, life sustaining wage for their labors, as well as a safe and healthy workplace. Everyone has a duty to support themselves and their families through honest labor.
I feel that senior citizens whose labor made our country a great and decent place to live and Veterans who have risked their lives to protect our Republic should continue to receive special considerations. I believe in the multiple use management of public lands. Access to these lands is essential to our economy and lifestyle and is a large part of the heritage we have received from the settlers of this area. I feel that public lands should remain open to the public to which they belong whether the public uses the land for recreation, grazing, responsible timber harvest or the development of mineral rights. I also oppose the closing of existing roads or the withdrawal or preemption of existing grazing, water or mineral rights on these lands.
With my past experience in city government, I will bring a calm, reasoned voice and progressive viewpoint to the office of commissioner. As Coordinator for Volunteers of America, RSVP and Foster Grandparent program I have had the opportunity to work with some of Emery County's finest citizens. They have taught me what a group of people working together for the common good can achieve as well as how each one of us can make a difference in the lives of others. I have worked with federal grants, and have worked with many nonprofit organizations. I understand how to work with a budget.
My opponent has stated that if not re-elected we will lose a seat on the CIB (Community Impact Board) board and it is going to Grand County. This is not necessarily so. Because so much of the mineral lease money is generated from Emery County there is a strong possibility that we will retain that seat. My opponent is not the only one who sits on the CIB board from Emery County. Bevan Wilson also sits on that board. He does an excellent job and will continue to look out for our interests. Emery County was a close third behind Carbon and Uintah counties for generating mineral lease funds. The two counties that generated the most mineral lease money also retain a seat on this board. With the opening of the new coal mine and other gas wells we have a strong possibility of having another seat on this board.
I am open minded, approachable, and willing to listen to other's concerns. I feel that a "public servant" is just that, they are here to serve; they must be accountable. A public servant must maintain a high degree of integrity emphasizing: true statements, honest motivations, and the understanding that you should always represent the best interests of all our citizens. I feel that I have the qualifications to make a difference.

*sigh* another fake dragon slayer, this is getting stupid. luxus should have been the only exception, so it would have been better for cobra to be a genuine dragon slayer. but now the door is opened up to have any idiot who finds dragon lachryma be a dragon slayer, so a new one might start popping up every new arc.
oh well, i did like the way most of action played out this chapter, though i didn't really get how that roar took out cobra . i thought cobra's magic could just hear your heart and thoughts, there was no indication that his regular hearing was amplified.
Two words: "lol, wut"
Hmmm weird chapter. I kinda liked the idea of a poison dragon, but oh wellz I guess. So is it "dragon" lychrima or "poison dragon" lychrima? either way im confused...
A pie in the sky?
It was a dragon lachryma that made them into such a DS, but just how do they choose the type is still unknown.
i thought it was a good chapter,and i liked the fact cobra wasnt a real dragonslayer...
it seems the the dragon lachryma makes it easier for u to show/ bring out ur
scale which makes u stronger,but its probably not stronger than the scale of a real dragon slayer,,cuz as we see in natsu its hard to achieve it
Sig & Ava = Jaiden
Whats so great about being a dragon slayer? They all seem to get beaten just as easily as regular guys... Why not give yourself some lachryma of something that will help your elemental affinity, like a lightning one for Luxus to make his lightning stronger or something
A pie in the sky?
That'd be cool if there was a Sleep Dragon Slayer
A pie in the sky?
I'm glad cobra is a lachryma-injected dragon slayer. Even if those lachryma-injected DS are not really DS they are still a rare bunch because lachryma is suppose to be rare so it's ok.
But anyway, this chapter just showed how truly strong luxus is.
Look at cobra now, he's so weak compared to luxus. I like the way cobra goes down, natsu bursting his eardrums like that is great since cobra's ability is quiet annoying lol.
Dammit, if luxus stayed in FT and participate in this mission he would have wipe the floor with oracon seis

Olive Leaf Extract
Other Ingredients: Rice flour, Hypromellose (Vegetable Capsule), Vegetable Stearate.
What is Olive Leaf? Olive leaf is literally the leaf of the olive tree (Olea europaea). The fruit of the olive tree provides olive oil, which is well-known for both its flavor and its health benefits. However, modern science is focused on the benefits of the leaf of the olive tree as well because it is packed with powerful, protective antioxidants in the polyphenol family. The antioxidant capacity of olive leaf is far beyond that of most healthy foods. Recorded evidence of olive leaf for medicinal use dates back thousands of years – the olive leaf was used by ancient Egyptian and Mediterranean cultures to treat a variety of health conditions. In the early 1900s, scientists isolated a compound called Oleuropein from the olive leaf that was thought to give the olive tree its disease resistance ability. In 1962, an Italian researcher recorded that Oleuropein had the ability to lower blood pressure in animals. Other European researchers validated that claim, and also found the leaf to increase blood flow in the coronary arteries. In the years to come, a Dutch researcher identified that a primary ingredient in Oleuropein hindered the growth of some viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Further European research determined this compound to have bacteriostatic, antiviral and fungal reducing properties. Research suggests that olive leaf appears to selectively block a specific system in the infected host. Olive leaf's broad effects include the ability to interfere with critical amino acid production; ability to possibly inhibit virus shredding, budding or assembly at the cell membrane; and the ability to directly penetrate cells. Olive leaf is a good supplement for support during fevers, as well as for traveling.
Where does Olive Leaf come from? The leaf comes from the small olive tree native to coastal areas of the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Olive leaf (Olea europaea) extract offers a variety of nutritional benefits for the entire body.

The U.S. Defense Department believes China will soon have anti-ship missiles with a range of 1,000 miles, B-6 bombers armed with long range cruise missiles, aircraft carriers, 75 surface navy ships, 60 submarines and missile boats. These forces will enable China to project its influence in the Asia Pacific region.
China has claimed territorial sovereignty over most of the South China Sea, including areas near the Philippines and Japan, and Chinese ships have violated waters in close proximity to a number of Asian countries. This has prompted the U.S., South Korea, Australia and India to implement security agreements, and Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines have sought to foster closer ties to the U.S., India and Japan.
In the face of China's expansionist policies the U.S. should encourage Pacific allies, especially Japan, South Korea and India, to build up their military forces. We should rethink the proposed cuts in our military, especially the cuts to our Navy. We are down to 285 ships and might eventually have less than the 11 carrier battle groups needed to patrol the world's oceans. China can concentrate its forces in its region, while we have to deploy our forces around the globe.

OpenSesame - 0.27
Sebastiaan Mathot (smathot)
OpenSesame is a graphical experiment builder. OpenSesame provides an easy to use, point-and-click interface for creating psychological experiments. In addition to a powerful sketchpad for creating visual stimuli, OpenSesame features a sampler and synthesizer for sound playback. For more complex tasks, OpenSesame supports Python scripting using the built-in editor with syntax highlighting.
OpenSesame is a graphical, open-source experiment builder for the social sciences. It sports a modern and intuitive user interface that allows you to build complex experiments with a minimum of effort. With OpenSesame you can create a wide range of experiments: Psychophysics, reaction time tasks, and questionnaires, to name but a few. The plug-in framework and Python scripting allow you to incorporate external devices, such as eye trackers, response boxes, and parallel port devices, into your experiment. OpenSesame is freely available under the General Public Licence. Release notes ------------- OpenSesame 0.27 is almost completely backwards compatible with previous versions, expect for the following differences: - canvas.keyboard.get_key() now returns a key as unicode, rather than as an int corresponding to an ASCII value. This change has been made to improve support for non-QWERTY keyboard layouts. - Response timeouts are now registered as None, rather than the string 'timeout'. - In the Windows release, the media_player plug-in has been replaced in favour of the media_player_vlc plug-in. This was necessary, because the libraries used by the old media_player are not compatible with Python 2.7. Notable changes: - Added Expyriment backend - Added form functionality - Improved Unicode support - Improved internationalization - Added quick run button - Add ecological alternative to S&V template - Numerous bug-fixes - Improved compatibility with Nexus 7 tablet

Housing for UNH students in Prato is provided by both UNH and several different institutions located in the city center, all of which are no more than 15 minutes' walk from the school and from each other.
Housing in Prato at all non-UNH owned properties are hotel-like residences owned and managed by local people, and often occupied by other guests not connected with the university. Therefore you are expected to follow the normal conduct regarding noise and behavior in any shared establishment.
Housing in Prato comes in many shapes and forms. For example, some bedrooms are more spacious than others, but none of them are as large as you might expect based on US standards. All our bedrooms contain between 2 or 4 beds, and some of the apartments we use house up to 6 people in two separate bedroom areas.
The size and style of furniture provided differs from room to room. Some residences have two bathrooms while some have just one. Kitchen facilities vary a lot, and some kitchens are very basic. Each establishment offers different kinds of laundry services. Some of the rooms are located on upper floors and not all residences have elevators.
This is all important to understand before you come to Prato, because you cannot choose your room, and you will need to be able to adapt to the housing that is assigned to you.
Meals are not provided by housing, though students may use the kitchen in each residence; please see the Meal Plan section for more information.
All housing is equipped with desks, wi-fi internet access, closets/wardrobes and bathrooms. They all are managed by housing staff who can be contacted at any time for maintenance issues or emergencies. The housing owned by UNH, Residence Hall San Francesco, has a resident assistant and a resident director. A washing service or washing machine is available at all housing.
Upon arrival in Prato, you will receive a special housing orientation and a copy of our housing handbook and policies. While you are in Prato you are subject to the same policies of behavior and respect as in UNH housing in the US. Information on UNH housing policies can be consulted here. For more information on housing in Prato, please see our Housing FAQs.
Below you'll find descriptions of our current housing options.

|In response to Re: PVC Sewer Line
Tom, don't ever trust a tech from a home insurance company. and i am using the term "tech" very loosely. if he was worth a damn, he wouldn't be working for the insurance company.
: When I experienced a backup in our sewer line, I contacted our homeowner protection company, and they sent out a technician. When they sent a rooter through the pipe, they said that the problem was a collapsed pipe and the policy did not cover this. A truck with a bobcat on the back showed up before they told me the diagnosis, and I did not see anything on the blade when they pulled it up. When we contacted the homeowner protection company, we found that the contractor reported roots and soil on the snake. We demanded a second opinion, and a second company was able to clear the pipe. When I confronted the first company, he told me he still believed it was a collapsed pipe, and that they ran the rooter twice, and only found debris the first time, which was pulled up while I was inside flushing the toilet for them.
: I know that our pipe is schedule 40 PVC. Does this sound like a reasonable explanation or does it seem that the first technician was running a conn game.

I agree with halaros536, you're the only one.
If you look back at some of the other characters, kubo gave us clues of what their abilities would be. Take Shinji as an example, when we first saw him he was upside down, then when he introduced himself he spelt his name backwards and also said that reverse was his specialty. If we look at his release, it matches what was told of him. Also look at Tousen, his releases was translated as cricket, but direct translation was annoying insect or something, so he turned into a fly. Now think Aizen........ Anyone got any clues?
Well, the zanpakuto is after all a manifestation of the shinigami's soul/personality. As for Aizen, pretty sure it has something to do with some kind of liquid or gas, if speaking for his shikai anyway. If I remember correctly, Aizen also tricked everyone into believing that his zanpakuto was water-based and created illusions, so I assume that it is reasonable that it is in fact water-based. The best lies are those that are the closest to the truth after all.
It might just be that he turns transparent if he would have a resurrection and being invulnerable against physical attacks.

You've probably seen the images that run along the site, the "Featured Series."
It is time to shed some light onto those less known series, and the only way they can be displayed as a Featured Series is if they have an image to go with.
Not all series in the directory have their own image, so here I come to ask you and your uber-leet photoshopping skills to make a banner for a series that's in the directory.
How? you may ask. Well, you can grab page from a scan and crop into a specific canvas size and that's it, easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy!
We prefer if the pages are in color. You can look at some series how they have theirs. No fancy effects, no text. Just an image of the manga to identify it by. (Soul Eater, Reborn, Bleach)
What's the reward? The feeling that you've helped the site that you love!! Also a hug and a kiss from gin0va; sexy sexy beast. Besides that, I don't know. I'll talk to other mods and see what we can do.
647x220 (very important that it's exactly that size)
95kb or less (In PS: around a quality of 8 or 9 should do the trick)
No borders.
Graphic editing software (anything besides Paint, when you save JPG in Paint, it poops on the quality)
You can take this as a template. Just fill it with white and do your magic.
If you have any questions, please post them.
If you're gonna use 3rd-party coloring, ask the artist for permission first.
Manga that need a banner:
- Living in Akiba
- Muddy

Ulster moved off the bottom of the PRO12 table after claiming a hard-fought 18-7 victory over Connacht in Galway on Saturday.
Ulster moved off the bottom of the PRO12 table after claiming a hard-fought 18-7 victory over Connacht in Galway on Saturday.
Tries from Michael Allen and Paddy Jackson saw a nervous Ulster get their season off the ground.
Connacht responded through talisman Dan Parks, but despite an excellent start, couldn't quite keep up with their provincial counterparts.
The game began with a physical opening: the Ulster defence exhibiting decent line speed in the opening exchanges. The visitors displayed impressive continuity in this phase of the game, but were undone by a lack of ruthlessness.
Both sides showed some ambition, but errors disrupted the rhythm of the game. As the game entered the 10-minute mark, the Galway-based province were beginning to hit their stride, and were rewarded for the persistence of their efforts when Scotland international Parks touched down for the first try of the evening. The fly-half successfully converted his own effort.
But Ulster responded as they needed to with Michael Allen squeezing in on 14 minutes. Paddy Jackson missed the consequent conversion to make it 7-5.
The northern province was starting to secure a foothold in the game, but the Connacht defence more than head their measure. The westerners were also exploiting holes in Ulster's normally solid defence.
Both kickers missed chances at goal, but in their mitigation the swirling wind made the conditions problematic. The game descended into quite a scrappy affair, but by half-time, Connacht were well worth their lead.
The second half started in a similarly frenetic fashion, and a series of errors undermined the efforts of both sides to assert themselves.
When either team threatened to establish a definitive attacking platform, their efforts were undermined by handling errors.
Jared Payne nearly earned his side an undeserved lead on 45 minutes when he swept over the line, but the Ulster full-back couldn't ground the ball successfully.
The away side certainly seemed to have a greater sense of urgency in the second period, as befitting a team under pressure.
The red hand province nearly touched down again on 49 minutes, but was held up by the well- marshalled Connacht defence. Ulster's renewed pressure was starting to tell, and the mercurial Jackson earned a one-point lead for his team on 54 minutes with a well-struck penalty.
The visitors followed this up three minutes later when Luke Marshall made an incisive break, before off-loading to Jackson to score. The fly-half converted to make it 7-15 to Ulster.
The intensity displayed by the away side was now markedly increased from their first half efforts. Jackson extended the lead further to give his team an 11-point cushion.
Connacht bravely tried to stay in the game, but the sheer intensity of Ulster's second half defensive effort made penetration difficult.
But the men in green weren't finished. In the final ten minutes their pack, led by the outstanding Muldoon laid siege to the Ulster line. But the visiting defence was resolute by this stage, and held on for an error-strewn but essential win.
For Connacht, this match brought only frustration, and was scant reward for all their hard work. But following a poor start to the season, and a week that heralded the rumoured exit of Ruan Pienaar next season. Ulster will be extremely thankful for their first win of the season.

Whereas: The use of hydraulic fracturing in natural gas drilling has become highly controversial. Proponents are concerned about regulatory, legal, reputational and financial risks associated with the environmental, health, and social impacts of fracturing operations.
Concern about water sources, toxic chemicals and wastewater has led to new regulations in several states and proposed federal legislation. Explosions, contamination incidents, and millions of dollars in fines demonstrate that things can and do go wrong. For example, media reports that in Pennsylvania, "officials...have cited energy companies for more than 2,500 violations associated with fracturing practices and collected $25.7 million in fines since 2008."
More than 250 health care professionals and medical societies warned New York Governor Cuomo that the state failed to analyze public health impacts of hydraulic fracturing in its rush to approve permits for drilling. The medical professionals cite evidence in Texas, Wyoming, Louisiana, North Dakota and Pennsylvania which finds worsening health metrics among neighbors of gas wells and related infrastructure. The onset of symptoms and drilling frequently coincided.
Negative local impacts are straining community resources and generating opposition to fracturing operations. According to an MSCI report, "the expansion of oil and gas activities into areas previously untouched by the industry will continue to face fierce opposition from the community, unless companies adequately manage environmental impacts and community health concerns through communication and adoption of best environmental practices."
In this climate, companies risk increased regulatory and legal risks or bans on fracturing operations outright. Pittsburgh banned natural gas drilling within city limits. New York State imposed a moratorium. Maryland banned drilling until the conclusion of a two-year study.
Resolved: Shareholders request that the Board of Directors prepare a report to investors by September 2012, at reasonable cost and excluding confidential or legally prejudicial data, on the short-term and long-term risks to Chevron Corporation's operations, finances and gas exploration associated with community concerns, known regulatory impacts, moratoriums, and public opposition to hydraulic fracturing and related natural gas development.
Supporting statement: Such report should, at a minimum, summarize for the prior two fiscal years, with regard to hydraulic fracturing and related infrastructure: any substantial community opposition to the company's maintenance or expansion of particular operations, such as permitting and drilling; facility shutdown orders, license suspensions or moratoriums on licensing, exploration or operations; On a forward-looking basis, the report should identify: any limitations which regional water supply or waste disposal issues may place on operations or expansion; In the event of uncertainty about probabilities or outcomes, the report should at a minimum describe the worst-case scenario and the extent of uncertainties.
government enforcement actions, including allegations of violations;
total aggregate government fines on an annual basis;
communities where substantial opposition to permitting or drilling, or maintenance or expansion of operations, is anticipated;
financial or operational risks to particular operations, facilities and plans from proposed federal or state laws or regulations, including moratoriums on fracking;

In returning categories like "BEST MOVIE," the blockbusters "Inception" and "The Social Network" could go head-to-head with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1" to be the fan-favorite flick of the year. In a "Movie Awards" first, Kristen Stewart might receive two nominations in the same category with "BEST KISS" nods for her smooches with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse." Perhaps "BEST COMEDIC PERFORMANCE" will see Emma Stone's LOL-inducing performance in "Easy A" leave comedy's heavy hitters in the dust. At the "MTV Movie Awards," it's anyone's game as all will be determined by the viewers as they vote to create this year's list of final nominees for Hollywood's most outrageous awards ceremony.
