Toulon seized control of Heineken Cup Pool Six with a hard-fought 22-14 victory over the Blues at Cardiff Arms Park on Sunday.
Toulon seized control of Heineken Cup Pool Six with a hard-fought 22-14 victory over the Blues at Cardiff Arms Park on Sunday.
All of Toulon's point came from Englishmen as man-of-the-match Steffon Armitage's try and 17 points from the boot of Jonny Wilkinson proved enough to make it two wins from two for the French club.
After losing a thriller at Sale last weekend, having led throughout, Cardiff had the chance to get their European adventure off the mark, and it was Leigh Halfpenny who got the Arms Park crowd on the edge of their seats with a second minute try.
Finishing a move that had gone along the Blues' back line, the full-back accepted the final pass inside from his winger, Tom James, to dot down and give the French side an early surprise.
But Toulon made good use of their forward power, taking the ball into contact at every opportunity, and with the threat of Matheiu Bastareaud, looked likely to prove difficult visitors for Cardiff.
Two Wilkinson penalties earned his side a slim lead, but Cardiff were eager to cause Toulon difficulties, with Alex Cuthbert in particular looking to continue last week's hat-trick heroics.
Cardiff's Gavin Evans suffered a nasty collision in a tackle with Delon Armitage, but the Englishman was unfairly considered by the partisan crowd to be the villain of the piece. The Cardiff centre had slipped going into contact, and took a head knock, before being stretchered off for treatment.
Both sides then missed penalty attempts, but Halfpenny's kick at goal in the final minute of the half was successful, giving his side an 8-6 half-time lead.
No sooner had the second half started, than Wilkinson regained the lead for Toulon with another pin-point kick at goal, but Halfpenny was finding it difficult, slipping while taking his fourth kick.
He did though, reduce the arrears to a single point with a penalty on the hour mark, but Toulon picked up the pace, and Steffon Armitage scored his first Heineken Cup try of the season. Carl Hayman had made a huge burst deep into Cardiff territory from a Bastareaud offload. Matt Giteau drove further up to the five metre line, and scrum-half Frederic Michalak spun the ball out to Armitage, who powered his way to touch the ball down just over the line.
A Wilkinson conversion stretched the lead to eight points, and chasing the game, Cardiff thought they could have earned a losing bonus point, if not a win, as Halfpenny scored his third successful kick of the day, with only minutes left on the clock.
But Wilkinson kicked another penalty to deny the Blues the losing bonus point, as his side took top spot in the table.

Gorgeous shoe
"Stylish shoe! Exactly how I pictured them. Got a lot of compliments. So, in love with them!"
By: wrenny

January 08, 2013
"These shoes are so unique looking. I got the red ones. I thought they would be a deeper red, but they are pretty fire engine. That was a miner disappointment because they are already so daring without the extra attention grabbing color. That said they are incredibly well made with so much attention to detail. Absolutely no tread on the bottom, though so don't try walking down a steep bank. I wear a 9 to a 9 1/2. The 9 fit great."

Another pair of red shoes, yes please!
"I have always loved the irregular choice brand, the styles are so unique and you don't see everyone else wearing them. When I saw the price on these, my only decision was what color do I pick? I purchased the red ones and they are even more beautiful in person. They are very comfortable, I can walk all day in them because the heel is not that high. They fit true to size! LOVE these shoes!!!!!"

Striking shoes
"I got a really great price on these, otherwise I probably wouldn't have indulged. I have the red ones. The toe is more rounded than I'd thought, which isn't my favorite look. But the shoes are so striking overall, that I kept them. I've worn them to a couple of Christmas parties & they got lots of compliments. I got my regular 7 1/2, but there's still a little gap at the back of the shoe. I put pads in for the balls of my feet to help with comfort & to keep my foot from sliding forward as much to leave gap at back. It seemed to help. I'd say it's a great shoe for special occasion use."

Edwin is returning to the U.S. market this fall after a two year absence, due to the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar. A new partnership with The Foundation, a New york based sales and distribution partner, will help Edwin to relaunch in the U.S. with their first men's denim collection.
The men's collection consists of four fits, from slim to a traditional straight leg. Washes range from raw to full vintage looks, with many styles featuring Edwin's signature buckle-back detail. All produced in Japan, prices will range from $225 to $300, with special product embellished with sterling silver hardware going as high as $700.
???We wanted to launch with the brand??™s top-of-the-line Japanese product. As time goes by, we??™ll bring prices down by bringing in some product that isn??™t made in Japan,??? noted Langsdorf, a partner of The Foundation (WWD).
Edwin will be available in 75 specialty stores in August, including Bergdorf Goodman Men, Scoop, Atrium, American Rag and Fred Segal Man, as well as Revolveclothing.com and four Bloomingdale's locations.

Artifact Road Show Comes to BLM Billings Curation Center
On Friday, April 12, from 2 to 4 p.m., the Bureau of Land Management Billings Curation Center (BCC) will host the third annual Artifact Road Show put on by the Montana Archaeological Society.
For the afternoon, the event welcomes the public to bring in artifacts they might have to be analyzed by a panel of archaeological experts in order to discover the potential purpose, time period and story behind the artifacts. Professionals will also take time to discuss the history of the area.
"We are excited to be part of the Artifact Road Show again this year," says David K. Wade, BLM BCC Museum Curator. "The curation center is an excellent local resource for preserving historic and pre-historic artifacts and this event is an opportunity for us to share our knowledge and passion with folks in the area."
The BCC is the main repository for archaeological and ethnographic collections recovered from the BLM-administered public lands in Montana and the Dakotas. The collections are made available to professional researchers, archaeologists, students and those interested in learning about the past in the local region.
Montana archaeology spans more than 11,000 years and is represented by numerous bison kills, tipi rings, rock art, cairn monuments, and battle sites. Each yields a variety of cultural materials and information about the past.
Items in the collections represent a variety of artifacts and time periods:
The BCC is located at 5001 Southgate Dr. For more information, please contact David K. Wade at 406-896-5213.
For the latest BLM news and updates visit us on the web at www.blm.gov/mt and on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/BLMMontana.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Zanzibar is situated in the Indian Ocean, 36 km off the coastline of mainland Tanzania lies Zanzibar. Zanzibar officially refers to the archipelago that include Unguja and Pemba, surrounded by about 50 smaller ones. Zanzibar is an island state within the United Republic of Tanzania, and has its own semi-autonomous government made up of a Revolutionary Council and House of Representatives.Once the trading centre of the whole of East Africa, Zanzibar attracted Sumerians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Arabs, Chinese and Malays. The great explorers, Burton, Speke, Livingstone and Krapf continued their journeys from these shores. It is characterised by beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs, warm clear blue waters, idyllic islands, excellent reefs for snorkelling and diving, fantastic deep sea fishing and water sports activities. The historic Stone Town with its narrow winding streets, vivid markets and colourful bazaars makes for an interesting cultural visit. Commonly known as the "Spice Island"; famous for spices such as cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, cardamom, peper and others).

It's spring, the snows of winter are fading memories, our lawns and fields are green and, for the fifth year in a row, a select group of individuals will have the unique opportunity to spend five days as part of a real archaeological team. They will join instructors from the University of Utah exploring one of the most pristine early Native American sites in the United States in Range Creek. As in years past, the out of state high school students who will be permitted to participate in this once in a life time experience will pay more than $900 plus travel expenses. This will give them the opportunity to "rough it" camping on the grounds of the Wilcox Ranch, the home of the UofU's Range Creek Archaeological Project while working side-by-side with Dr. Duncan Metcalfe (Associate Professor of Anthropology and Curator of Archaeology, Utah Museum of Natural History). Along with Dr. Metcalfe will be his staff, and up to 12 under-graduate and graduate archaeology students from around the country as they unearth the mysteries of Range Creek and the ancient Fremont people who called the canyon home some 1,500 years ago. This year, as in the previous four years, a limited number of free slots have been reserved and are still available to Emery County High School students on a first come first served basis.
Because of the pristine nature of the hundreds of archaeological sites and abundance of ancient artifacts throughout the canyon, access to Range Creek is tightly controlled and normally by permit only, with very few being allowed access to the heart of the project's domain. Through the efforts of the Emery County Economic Development Council, with the co-operation of the Emery County Commissioners and the University of Utah, special arrangements have been made to allow students this unprecedented, very special access.
In past years our students have been given the opportunity to fully participate with the college students in receiving training in a variety of archaeological field techniques. These techniques include surveying, mapping, soil identification, aspects of paleo-ecological research, as well as modern archaeological field and lab techniques (as one student said "drawin' stuff, diggin' stuff up and writin' stuff down") in this ongoing field research program. While more than 145 archaeological sites have been identified and recorded hundreds of early Fremont archaeological sites and artifacts remain to be recorded including adobe and masonry granaries, pit-house villages, caches and cists in rock-shelters, and amazing rock art panels and hundreds more lay in pristine condition waiting to be discovered.
In years past, Dr. Metcalfe, has made our students the offer "If you discover a new granary or rock art we'll name it after you." I'm sure this year he'll make this offer . . . who knows this may be your chance to become immortalized in archaeological textbooks. In any event, if you are one of the fortunate few who are accepted to attend this year's archaeology camp I'm sure you'll find it the best five days of this year's summer vacation.
High school boys and girls can apply for this fully chaperoned camp at the Emery County web-site www.emerycounty.com or by contacting Christine Jensen at 381-2381. (parental consent will be required). Archaeology camp is June 15-19 and Paleontology Camp is July 13-17.

Mr. Speaker, in a report on its ranking of countries, the OECD said, "Canada is one of the best-performing countries in the 2010 Food Safety Performance World Ranking study. Its overall grade was superior, earning it a place among the top-tier countries."
Every time we have taken measures to enhance and improve our food safety system, the opposition has voted against those measures.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians will be negatively impacted by the callous termination of the community access program, which in Guelph alone provided support for 34 public computers.
The cut will affect hundreds of thousands across Canada, especially in rural communities and particularly those most in need, who use these computers daily to look for jobs, access government websites or do research, because the cost of a computer or Internet access is not affordable for everyone.
Will the government please reverse its ill-conceived decision to terminate the community access program?

Mike Lake Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, the community access program was launched in 1995 and has successfully met its objectives.
The vast majority of Canadians are now connected to the Internet at home, while many more have access through their mobile devices. By this summer, more than 98% of Canadian households will have access to basic broadband service.
Federal funding will continue to support youth internships at community Internet sites, and this will provide young Canadians with vital skills and work experience needed to make a successful transition to the workplace, while contributing to job creation.

Mr. Speaker, the government recently announced changes to the veterans independence program to provide for upfront grants for grass cuttings, snow removal, and housekeeping services.
My question for the minister is this: will these payments be subject to income tax?

Steven Blaney Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to hear the hon. member acknowledge that 100,000 veterans are now going to benefit from a simple payment method, which will decrease the amount of paperwork for our veterans. Indeed, the same conditions will apply and our veterans will receive a payment twice a year, which will eliminate millions of transactions. We will continue to reduce paperwork for veterans.

Mr. Speaker, the minister's addiction to temporary foreign workers is bad for our communities and bad for our economy.
In order to pander to their large corporate friends, the Conservatives are moving to massively speed up the hiring of hundreds and thousands of temporary foreign workers. This makes no sense, especially since Canada's youth unemployment rate is a staggering 14%—

Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, the premise of the question is entirely false. The question itself is absolutely outrageous.
The reality is that there are large and acute growing labour shortages in many regions and industries in this country where employers actively seek to recruit Canadians to fill jobs that must be filled to do the necessary work, but qualified Canadians do not apply. When that happens, the businesses have a choice: either they go overseas to do their work, go out of business, or access people from abroad who must be paid at the prevailing Canadian regional wage. They are governed according to the same rules and protections as all Canadian workers.
That is not about exploitation; it is about opportunity both for overseas workers and Canadian industry.

Sadia Groguhé Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, unlike the Conservatives, the NDP is in favour of a fair system for foreign workers and our youth.
With the plan proposed by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, foreign workers will be paid 15% less than Canadians for equal work. The Conservatives want to exploit foreign workers, and this will lead to reduced wages for all Canadian workers.
Is this irresponsible and reckless measure part of the Conservatives' economic inaction plan for the 1.4 million Canadians who are unemployed?

Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, that is completely false. The reality is that, even in Quebec, there are labour shortages in several industries and several regions.
The member raises a good question: why do we have a youth unemployment rate of 14% in an economy that has hundreds of thousands of jobs available? There is a labour shortage. It is clearly a problem.
Should we tell businesses to shut down and close their doors, or should we help them to attract people from abroad who are eager to come to Canada, to work and contribute to our economy and, yes, at the same wage level as Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, yesterday I was pleased to hear the government announce reforms to the health care benefit packages received by asylum seekers. I know that many of my own hard-working, taxpaying constituents have raised concerns in past years about the inequality of such services. They have, in fact, pointed out occasionally that Canadian seniors did not have access to the generous benefits received by asylum seekers. Would the minister please explain to the House what these reforms are, exactly?

Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, unfortunately many Canadians realized that there was a terrible inequality in that we were giving better health benefits to asylum seekers, including fake asylum seekers and illegal migrants who arrived in smuggling operations, than we were giving to hard-working, taxpaying Canadian citizens.
That is not right, which is why yesterday we announced changes to the interim federal health program for asylum claimants to say that the benefits they get will be no more generous than the health benefits that are available to taxpaying Canadian citizens. We want to indicate to asylum seekers that they will get essential care until their claim is rejected, in which case we expect them to respect our laws and leave Canada.

Mr. Speaker, a responsible government would not put the health and safety of its citizens at risk. The Conservative government chose to make massive cuts of $56 million to food inspection and $68 million to the Public Health Agency, thus compromising food safety and endangering Canadian lives. Three cabinet ministers in the current federal government were in Mr. Harris's Ontario cabinet when massive public health and environmental cuts caused the tragic Walkerton incident.
Surely they warned the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food against his dangerous decision. Why did he not listen?

Oral Questions

Pierre Lemieux Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture
Mr. Speaker, as I have mentioned already today, Canada is recognized around the world for having a superior food safety system. Our cost-saving measures do not reduce food safety. In fact, in this last budget we put aside $50 million to enhance our food safety system. The opposition has already voted against that $50 million, but the budget implementation bills will be in front of Parliament very shortly. They have the opportunity to now vote for this increased funding for food safety.

Google's Eric Schmidt: "Don't Be Evil" was Stupid

Schmidt admits that he thought the "don't be evil" slogan was stupid when he first came to Google
In a recent interview with NPR, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said that he used to think his company's famous slogan -- "don't be evil" -- was stupid.
NPR host Peter Sagal
interviewed Schmidt
recently on a segment called "Not My Job," which humorously speaks with important leaders and includes a game of some sort.
Sagal asked Schmidt how Google came up with the slogan, "don't be evil."
"Well, it was invented by Larry [Page] and Sergey [Brin]," said Schmidt. "And the idea was that we don't quite know what evil is, but if we have a rule that says don't be evil, then employees can say, I think that's evil. Now, when I showed up, I thought this was the stupidest rule ever, because there's no book about evil except maybe, you know, the Bible or something.
"So what happens is, I'm sitting in this meeting, and we're having this debate about an advertising product. And one of the engineers pounds his fists on the table and says, that's evil. And then the whole conversation stops, everyone goes into conniptions, and eventually we stopped the project. So it did work."
Sagal then humorously accused Schmidt of being the "businessman" type out of the group (among Page and Brin) who felt that an American business couldn't be evil.
"You're coming in, like, you're a businessman who's been successful in all kinds of Silicon Valley business," said Sagal. "And you come in, and you're like this thing about not being evil, that'll never work in American business. What, are you crazy, kids?"
Sagal and Schmidt discussed a few other topics as well, such as
Google Glass
. Sagal asked Schmidt what the glasses are used for exactly.
"Well, we don't quite know yet," said Schmidt. "We have maybe 2,000 of these. We've shipped them out to developers, and we're seeing what they develop. There's obviously issues, shall we say, of appropriateness of how people are going to use these things. There's a right time to have Google Glass on, and there's a right time to have it off, if you take my drift.
"So kind of watch and see what people do with it and then decide what to do."
"I'm an Internet expert too. It's all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired." -- North Korean Supreme Commander Kim Jong-il

Anyone else cringe when they hear the word finance? That word makes me think of college- a time when I could barely pass finance and I had no clue how to my manage my finances. The word is so broad and vague and it makes me want to look away and be awkward. In the real estate world, I am asked financial questions all the time. As you can see from the cartoon below, sometimes it is all about who's perspective you are asking from.
Now how about the words mortgage, rent, interest rate, investment, insurance, utilities, or value? Finance becomes less overwhelming and easier to understand when you break it down in to small little pieces. This is a place where I intend to post useful information about a wide variety of financial topics. The common thread? Money! When it comes to where we live, we need to invest it, save it, spend it, and stretch it the best way we can.

Love these!
"I bought these to wear at my wedding in November. While I DO love the shoes, I am not sure I will wear them for the big day simply because of the color. They are not the most comfortable shoes I have ever tried on (hence the 4 stars), but they look great! I got an 8.5 which is my normal size and they are a little bit tight. I tried on the 9 in the store and it was too big, so...I guess I will have to be a little uncomfortable. I have noticed that the sandal style in Badgley Mischka runs smaller, I can easily wear an 8 in that style shoe but not in the peep toe platforms. They are a nice taupe color but are a little dark so be weary if you're expecting a creamier color."

Runs short
"I absolutely love the look of this shoe; however, I bought it online and when I went to try it on they run extremely small! Very disappointed in that, and they also appear more tan in real life whereas the picture looks more peach."

Bills training camp observations: Day 8
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 28 2014 9:42PM
It happens around this time every single year. Once the novelty of training camp begins to wear off and all the players have to deal with is constant communication and banter with their teammates, eventually a boiling point happens during one random practice.
While the Buffalo Bills were a team on paper, they were divided by offense and defense as two separate entities for a solid 30 minute stretch on Monday night. Tempers flared and it resulted in some activities that head coach Doug Marrone is not very fond of, but it also led to the most spirited practice to date.
Boy, that escalated quickly
- It certainly did jump up a notch, Champ. For those in attendance on Monday night, they got to see big hits, scrums and an intense back-and-forth between offensive and defensive players. While the exact catalyst of the events is unknown, things got fairly chippy starting with rookie offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio throwing punches at defensive lineman Ikponmwosa Igbinosun. That was only the start of it, and from there things only got more heated. Lined up on the opposite side of the field, defensive end Jerry Hughes was shouting something in the direction of the offensive line before things really broke down. There were a couple of loud thuds in this version of team drills, all leading up to the biggest scrum of the night between a pair of third-string players. Defensive end Bryan Johnson and center Macky MacPherson started getting into it well after the play, they whipped each other around and Johnson even threw, at least, four punches to the midsection of MacPherson. It was at that moment that Marrone felt like enough was enough. He is not shy about his feelings on things breaking down during a camp practice like that. Point blank: he hates it. While the rest of the team went into the special teams period, the head coach yelled out for both the offensive and defensive lines to huddle up and try to stop what was happening before it got even more heated and out of hand. After a few stern words, Marrone had his group laughing and it seemed like the two sides came to an understanding once the coach left. That wasn't the last of it, though, as Marrone spoke with defensive line coach Pepper Johnson after practice, followed by a powwow with both Kyle and Mario Williams. It's likely a safe bet to not anticipate too many more of those moments in a Doug Marrone led training camp.
Two-minute drill gets three completions, but ends in EJ INT
- The Bills didn't make their practice 'live' at all on Monday like they had the previous two days, but they crossed off another first for the 2014 version of training camp. The team ran through their two-minute drill in what was, very much like the rest of practice, a very spirited exercise. EJ Manuel and Thad Lewis each got to run the two-minute offense in the team's second-to-last drill of Monday's practice, with Lewis getting much better results. Both players were set up with 1:42 to go on the clock and 75 yards in front of them before they reached the end zone. In two out of his first three plays, Manuel found Fred Jackson twice for 24 yards, and then linked up with Marquise Goodwin for a six-yard slant pattern. The quarterback only threw five passes total, however, and both almost resulted in turnovers. The first was an attempt to find Robert Woods on an intermediate route, but the ball was placed a good two to three yards in front of the wide receiver. Safety Jonathan Meeks was half a step away from getting the interception. To end the session for the first-team offense, Manuel thought he had found his wideout breaking towards the sideline in man-to-man coverage, but he locked on and did not look off the cornerback who was playing in zone coverage. Cornerback Ron Brooks read Manuel's eyes, drifted back and came away with an impressive interception — undoubtedly his best play of camp -- and perhaps his best since being drafted by the team. Thad Lewis led a rather sloppy two-minute drill that ended up four yards short of the end zone when the quarterback found T.J. Graham on a last second heave. The defense won this round, again.
Kouandjio's struggles continue
- It's been a slow process for the rookie and it seems as though the book may be out from his teammates going up against him in practice. Kouandjio has the tendency to get too tall out of his stance which creates many more chances for his opponents to get him unbalanced. Once he does this, if the defensive end or whomever he's up against decides to give a good, solid jab up high on his pads, the rookie loses just enough ground to lose his man completely. Throughout the day, Kouandjio suffered bad beats against Mario Williams, Manny Lawson and Jacquies Smith all in different drills. Young players have struggled like this in the past, and it's certainly fair to note the second-round pick only turned 21 a week ago. However, the Bills had to be expecting a more polished player than the one they've seen at this point in camp. He'll get plenty of opportunities throughout practices to improve, and it's entirely possible that he will improve. It just hasn't happened yet.
DL Williamses with a quality day
- One of the players that torched Kouandjio on two straight plays in team drills was Mario Williams and the defensive end has been quite impressive during camp, most notably on Monday. Williams was in the backfield on more than just his sack plays and didn't look phased by what the offense was throwing at the defense in the slightest bit. Both he and Kyle Williams had a total of four sacks during Thad Lewis' two-minute drill, with the latter Williams beating rookie Cyril Richardson at least once, if not both times. The performance was especially good timing considering defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz boasted earlier in the day that blitzing on his own terms is what will help the Bills to success. Having the defensive linemen that he does, Schwartz has to be feeling fairly good about their prospects heading into 2014.
Surprise on the depth chart?
- When the running back group is brought up, the names C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson are both brought up almost simultaneously. Since the May draft, the third name out of people's mouths is former Philadelphia Eagles runner Bryce Brown as the likely heir apparent to one of those two roles if one, or both, leave the Bills as an unrestricted free agent next year. There's just one problem: Brown isn't even third on the depth chart on his own team yet. The Bills sent along their first official depth chart and Brown was listed as the fourth running back, while free agent acquisition and special teams ace Anthony Dixon took up the third spot. Dixon has been running quite hard during camp and is a lot faster than one would initially imagine. Perhaps the Bills are making Brown earn it, perhaps they're trying to redshirt him if or when the stuff hits the fan next March with Spiller and Jackson, or, maybe the Bills just feel Dixon is the better runner right now. Whichever reason it is, it's one of the only surprises on the first depth chart.
No Watkins, No Williams
- Two of the more important players on the Bills' roster did not take part in the majority of team drills, but it does not appear either will have a lingering effect. Rookie wide receiver Sammy Watkins watched the majority of reps from the sidelines, allowing time on the field to Chris Hogan with the first-team. The way it was described to the media is that Watkins was merely getting a rest day after being such a presence through the first seven days of camp. On the other hand, safety Aaron Williams was too sick to be out on the field and practice at St. John Fisher College. It is unclear at this point how, if at all, these absences will affect future practices.
Day 8 MVP: DE Mario Williams
- Mario Williams used all the tools in his arsenal: speed, power, reading the offensive lineman, and more, to have his most productive day of training camp since it began on July 20. It's a reminder of how much taller, bigger and stronger he is than the players he goes up against from week to week. If he was a bit more sudden it would likely create more opportunities, but for the time being Williams is having a very good camp.
Day 8 LVP: OT Cyrus Kouandjio
- Once again Kouandjio couldn't get out of his way and let the margin between him and Erik Pears for the starting right tackle job grow a little bit more. A solid performance on Sunday during the Hall of Fame Game could help his confidence heading into future practices, because he just hasn't gotten the hang of the NFL yet.
Injury Update:
The Bills held out safety Kenny Ladler (hamstring) and tight ends Scott Chandler (groin), Tony Moeaki (hamstring) and Chris Gragg (heat cramps) from Monday's session. Leodis McKelvin was dressed for practice once more, but for the fourth straight day did not take any part in team drills.
Up Next:
The Bills have Tuesday off from practice and then get back for their third-to-last session before the Hall of Fame Game. The team will take the field on Wednesday at 2 pm at St. John Fisher College. The practice is open to the general public.

Franchise Tax Account Status
Certificates of Account Status
"Certificates of Account Status," sometimes called "Certificates of Good Standing," will no longer be available from the Comptroller's office. Instead, website users may print a taxpayer's Franchise Tax Account Status page to accomplish the same purposes.
The Comptroller historically issued Certificates of Account Status in response to inquiries about the status of an entity's franchise tax account. As of May 5, 2013, the Comptroller will respond to such inquiries by providing the status of an entity's right to transact business in Texas from our online search. Search results reflect the information in the Comptroller's records at the time the query is made.
The Comptroller is required by law to forfeit a company's right to transact business in Texas if the company has not filed a franchise tax report or paid a franchise tax required under Chapter 171. The law also requires the Comptroller to give at least 45 days after the notice of pending forfeiture is mailed before the actual forfeiture. Any franchise tax deficiencies must be cured during that period to avoid the forfeiture of the right to transact business in Texas.
Use the Franchise Tax Account Status search to determine whether a taxable entity's right to transact business in Texas is intact. Franchise Tax Account Status may be required in order to conduct real estate or financial transactions.
Secretary of State Filings
Franchise Tax Account Status printed from this website is not acceptable for filings with the Secretary of State.
Complete Form 05-359, Request for Certificate of Account Status to Terminate a Taxable Entity's Existence in Texas (PDF, 225KB) to obtain a certificate for filing with the Secretary of State. You may request that the certificate be sent to you in PDF format via email by checking the PDF box on form 05-359. You may then use the PDF document to facilitate electronic filing with the SOS using their SOSDirect system.

5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6 And one shall say unto him, What are these
7 ¶Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will

After Sept. 11, 2001 in an age of Islamic terrorism and nuclear threat, we should have became fully alerted and alarmed permanently and never diverted from that fact. But we continue on in our folly even today. Lets look at the facts. Then you decide what is wrong.
There are now upwards of 20 million illegal aliens in the U.S. after being released by federal immigration courts.
There are only 20,000 detention beds in the entire U.S. to hold illegal aliens. There are only 2,000 federal agents employed by the Department of Homeland Security to track down the estimated 12-20 million illegal aliens who are living, working, going to school, getting driver's licenses and, yes committing crimes and plotting terrorism in American even as I write this article.
Our borders on the north and south of the U.S. is full of beaten paths these illegals use to enter the U.S.
Article 4, Section 4, of the Constitution clearly states, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion."
We are not the boarding house for the world. It is time that we started filling those positions in Washington D.C. with legislators who believe in the above article and started to act as they believe.

Pulp Fashion Goes Pop!
The art of Isabelle de Borchgrave is in itself a type of recycling. Inspired by sumptuous costume and textiles from the past, de Borchgrave recreates some of history's most iconic fashions in the surprising medium of paper. Pulp Fashion: The Art of Isabelle de Borchgrave, on view at the Legion of Honor through June 12, displays paper outfits derived from those seen in European paintings, museum collections, photographs, sketches and even literary descriptions. De Borchgrave's art practice seems particularly relevant in today's conservation-minded climate in which "recycle and reuse" has become a mantra for artists and fashionistas alike.
Paper fashion was not always associated with such principled objectives. In the late 1960s, when de Borchgrave was just beginning her career, paper dresses captured the cultural zeitgeist not only for their pithy design and novelty, but specifically for their disposability.

MARION – The brown, dry grass earlier this summer also meant less green in the pockets of lawn care businesses.
Though rain has been plentiful in late August and September, June and July were two of the driest months Southern Illinois has seen in some time. And though their prospects have improved in recent weeks, lawn care businesses have been greatly affected by the dry weather.
Jarrod Greer is assistant manager at Scott Lawn Services in Marion, which specializes in fertilization, pest control and turf management. He said his company has had to be a little pragmatic because their products are watered by rain, which they could not depend on this summer.
"What we did differently was we used an insecticide that killed out insects that killed the moisture in the grass," Greer said.
Grassworks in Marion has faced issues with the drought as well.
"It has definitely been slower, but adverse weather will be beneficial later as people need shrubs removed and their lawns repaired," owner Doug Corzine said. Grassworks offers full landscape design and installation, weekly mowing services, fire pits, fountains, mulching, shaping, aeration, seeding, snow removal and patios.
Corzine said while the lack of rain is unfortunate for people, it could be good for business in the long run.
"Lawns will need to be repaired or replaced," Corzine said. He went on to say that lawn care is "totally dependent on the weather" and that he tried to approach the downtime with that frame of mind.
Zach Hutchinson Lawn and Tree Service in Marion did see a decline in their lawn business this summer, but their tree service did quite well.
"I lost out on about seven weeks of yards due to the drought," Hutchinson said.
This was 80 to 90 percent less business than he had in the past years, he said.
However, he said this did give him more time to dedicate to tree service.
"It gave us a lot of time to focus on tree work and catch up," Hutchinson said.
His lawn care business has improved with the recent rains.
"Things have really picked up the last three weeks, we are mowing just like before the drought," he said.
Moss Lawn Care had similar experiences this summer.
"The lack of rain put us down, we did not lose customers," owner Cole Moss said. "They just did not need us to mow."
Moss said business in June and July was "nonexistent. It is going to turn out to be one of the best Augusts, but one of the worst years."
Moss said that due to it being slower this summer his business, took jobs his company would not have done in the past.

An industrial accident took place at the Bear Canyon Mine in Huntington Canyon on Dec. 12. A call came into the Emery County dispatch at 6:09 a.m.
A Trimac truck driven by David Whiting, 31, of Elmo spun out in the loose gravel above the weigh building at the Bear Canyon Mine on his way up to load. He called for help and got out of his truck. A loader came down to pull him up.
The driver got out of the loader to help the truck driver hook the chain from the truck to the loader.
Sgt. Norman Vuksinick for the Emery County Sheriff's Office said at this point it is not known if the loader came out of gear or the brakes failed, but the loader started moving back towards the short distance to the truck.
At this point the loader operator yelled to get out of the way the loader was moving, but it was too late and the driver was crushed between the loader and the semi-truck.
The loader driver pulled the loader forward to release the man and called for assistance. A miner came to help the loader operator and they worked on the driver until the ambulance arrived.
Sgt. Vuksinick said the man died quickly from what he assumes were internal injuries. The report isn't back on that yet. Deputy Blake Gardner assisted at the scene of the accident.
The sheriff's office investigation is near completion and they will wait for results of the MSHA investigation.
The Mine, Safety, and Health Administration is conducting an investigation of its own. They will check the equipment to try to find out the cause of the accident. They will check to make sure everything was in compliance with the equipment.
The Bear Canyon Mine was closed the day of the accident but has since reopened.

Exhibits expected to be huge draw for Buena Park
BUENA PARK – Two exhibits going into the former Movieland Wax Museum are expected to bring in hundreds of thousands of visitors the first year and more than 100 jobs to the city.
A news conference Thursday officially announced that Premier Exhibitions is leasing the city-owned building and will open "Bodies ... The Exhibition" and "Titanic The Experience" by summer. City and Premier officials touted the new partnership as mutually beneficial.
"This will breathe new life into the building and bring new tourists and jobs, most of which are for young people who were hit hard by the recession," said Mayor Beth Swift.
Last week, Premier and the city closed on a 21-month lease, the Register reported Monday. The terms of the lease stipulate that Premier will pay $1 per month for rent, plus $500,000 to $600,000 in building renovations and $80,000 to $85,000 for maintenance.
In the exhibits' first year, Premier projects between 350,000 and 500,000 people visiting. Visitors to Buena Park typically spend between $100 to $200 in the city, said Sara Copping, executive director of Visit Buena Park, a tourists group.
In addition to visitors pumping money into the local economy, the remodel of the building and staffing the exhibitions will create new jobs. About 120 new jobs should be created from this deal, said City Manager Jim Vanderpool.
Premier, which already has permanent exhibitions in Las Vegas, Atlanta, New York and Orlando, Fla., sought out Buena Park to be its next permanent location, said Premier president and CEO Sam Weiser. The company did so, he said, because city officials are amenable to working with tourist-attraction companies and because the city is centrally located between Los Angeles and San Diego.
Once the 21-month lease is up, Premier is in negotiations to relocate to The Source at Beach, a retail complex set to open in 2014, Weiser said. Premier would be willing to stay in the Movieland building, but there are complications with that because it is former Buena Park Redevelopment Agency land. The state Department of Finance needs to sign off on all uses of former redevelopment agencies' land.
"We're thrilled to be standing here today," Weiser said. "For Premier, today represents the start of a long and successful relationship with the city of Buena Park."
"Bodies ... The Exhibition" will showcase real human body parts preserved in liquid silicone rubber. Visitors will learn about skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, endocrine and circulatory systems.
"Titanic The Experience" will feature artifacts from the wreck. Actors will play notable passengers and crew while guiding guests through the exhibit. To draw attention, there will be a large facade of the ship outside.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Great location. Very close to Metro station and only 3 to 4 stops from city center. Supermarket 5mins walk around the corner. Bedrooms are decent size and all rooms well equipped. Hope to be able to stay again.
The flat was very nice. Alex answered rapidly to the questions I asked.
The only problem was that our car park was used by some else very often.
The apartment is cozy, well furnished and quiet. It is located near public transport and in a good position to quickly reach the city center. There is no dedicated parking, but it was quite easy to find free parking in the neighborhood.
I would definitely recommend it.
We had a wonderful time in Munich. The apartment has a very good location. It offers spacious rooms, with excellent comfort. Alex was friendly and very helpful. I recommand this apartment!
I would recommand this appartment in Münich. Located near the U-Bahn at a quiet location. There is also a Bakery and Supermarket nearby. Wifi if fast and works great and also the rooms are clean and tidy. The pickup of the key is a little bit adventures, but Alex described it very well by mail. So we had no problems with that. Alex also responded quickly on questions by mail. We stayed with 5 persons, but there is room for 6.
We enjoyed Münich and I hope to return again some day :)
I had contact with Alex couple of times before our arrival, always received response really fast. Arrival was easy, parking the car as well. Nice apartment in central location (5 minute walk to Hauptbahnhof). Big bedrooms, decent bath room and well equipped kitchen. The place was modern and clean. As we stayed here for an exhibition we only where here to sleep and take a shower. For my next visit to Munich I will book this apartment again, we really liked it.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Alex's apartment. We were a party of 6 and there was plenty of room for all of us. The apartment faces a quiet courtyard. It was clean and well-equipped and the beds were very comfortable. It was easy to communicate with Alex. We had a great stay and everything went so well for us during our visit to Munich!
We stayed at Alex's Munich apartment close to the train station for 2 nights. As a party of 5 we loved this space. Lots of room and privacy for everyone. Comfortable beds , modern amenities. This apartment offered the basics that we needed. The location is great we were able to walk to the Marienplatz area within 10-15 minutes. We really enjoyed our stay. Alex was very responsive and helpful since original booking. Thanks Alex !!
Excellent, clean and well-furnished apartment in great location.
100m from Prinzregentenplatz U-bahn station and only about 20-25 mins walk from centre.
Admin was excellent - Alex emailed detailed instructions on how to get there and how to get in (including the clever way to get the key!).
Also lots of useful leaflets and maps for Munich, including details of local shops and restaurants - not one but three Tegelmann supermarkets within a short walking distance, and a very good Indian restaurant (Swagat) very close by (all Brits and curry lovers take note!)
Overall, an excellent experience on both stays (for two days on our arrival in Munich, then two days at the end). Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially families of 4. Hope to go again some time!
Perfect size apartment for our family of 6. Clean and good facilities. Great location - close to transport, shops and restaurants.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Tim Connolly, a look at his role and his future
Cam Charron
July 10 2012 12:10PM
One thing that gets me when I'm mocking up lines for next season is I always seem to forget about Tim Connolly. There's just a lot of clutter in this lineup, and Connolly didn't have a particularly good campaign so he's easily forgettable.
Connolly's boxcar numbers are pretty lacking: he had just 13 goals and 36 points in 70 games this season, playing as a hybrid first-and-third line centreman, and clearly wasn't the answer to the Phil Kessel centreman riddle, splitting much of his time with Tyler Bozak.
He was signed to a low-risk two-year deal, so this is his last season with the $4.75M cap hit that is probably overpriced for the 31-year old. What should we expect?
Well, not a whole heck of a lot, to be honest.
Connolly's 13 goals and 36 points ranked him, respectively, 184th and 156th among forwards in the NHL last season. Since there are 90 first liner players and 90 second line players, Connolly bridged the gap between the 2nd and 3rd line, which is about where he spent most of his ice-time.
As a first liner
Another way to look at it is from the Behind The Net time on ice application. Connolly played 28.7% of his 909.42 minutes with Phil Kessel, and 28.3% of his time with Joseph Crabb. Unless there was a significant overlap I think that we can sufficiently say that there was a pretty equal split between his first and third line minutes this season.
So his point totals probably should be a little bit higher. Unfortunately, we don't really have a way of telling exactly how Kessel did with Connolly as opposed to Tyler Bozak in regards to point-scoring on the top line.
We can figure out how either influenced puck possession with Phil Kessel. If Connolly is a better option than Bozak on the first line, then, naturally, then Kessel and Joffrey Lupul should have more puck possession, or more goals, with Connolly as opposed to Bozak:
|With Connolly
|With Bozak
|Phil Kessel
|Joffrey Lupul
|With Connolly
|With Bozak
|Phil Kessel
|Joffrey Lupul
Bozak is better than Connolly in all four categories, except their equal at goal-scoring with Phil Kessel on the ice. Since David Johnson's website doesn't leave the option open of calculating shooting percentages, my guess is that since there's still such a discrepancy in overall puck possession, that Kessel and Connolly played a few unsustainable minutes together.
So Bozak is a better option. Now, this could be corrected if Connolly and Kessel were playing harder minutes together than Kessel and Bozak were. That would show up in the data if Connolly were playing clearly tougher minutes than Bozak was this season, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Here are their quality of competition and offensive zone start % from last season, including their team rank out of 12 forwards.
|Quality of Competition
|Offensive Zone Start %
|Tyler Bozak
|0.340 (7th)
|52.5% (6th)
|Tim Connolly
|0.428 (5th)
|49.8% (4th)
Connolly's numbers are slightly harder than Bozak's. He faced a slightly higher quality of competition according to Behind the Net's "Corsi Rel QoC" measure (which I will be explaining later this summer). Connolly also started a few extra shifts in the defensive zone than Bozak did, but not enough, again, to make up for that huge differential in possession.
Finding the right role
So what's Connolly's upside? Going back through his career, you can see that he's had some moderate success against tough competition when used sparingly. Since the 2008 season, he'd never played 13 minutes a night at 5-on-5, but his role was upped in Toronto this past season.
The problem is that Connolly is more fitted towards being a second-line centre than a first-liner. He's never had the scoring numbers to be taken seriously as a realistic offensive threat. Again, the issue here in Toronto is that Mikhail Grabovski is the second line centreman.
You can see that Connolly's had some success influencing the possession of non-top-line players:
|Possession %
|Joey Crabb
|Phil Kessel
|Joffrey Lupul
|Matt Lombardi
|Possession %
|Joey Crabb
|Phil Kessel
|Joffrey Lupul
|Matt Lombardi
(In this case, CF and CA refer to "Corsi Event For" and "Corsi Event Against". A Corsi Event is any shot attempt, whether scored, saved, missed or blocked, directed at either net when a player is on the ice. The Possession % refers to the percentage of shots that were for the Leafs when the players were on the ice)
Crabb and Matt Lombardi both did much better with Connolly. Is it because Tim Connolly's game is not as suited for the north-south style of Kessel and Lupul and does the extra minutes when playing on the Toronto top line wear him down?
This is a case where, it isn't the ideal solution, but reducing Connolly's minutes to a second-or-third line role will probably give him room to improve. He was a slightly positive influence on Buffalo's top forwards in the three years prior to joining the Leafs. Jason Pominville, Jochen Hecht, Thomas Vanek and Drew Stafford had a 51.4% puck possession rate with Connolly and were 50.7% without.
Tim Connolly still has some value at the NHL level, but it's probably not as a first liner. Both Tyler Bozak and Mikhail Grabovski, for sure, do much better on that top line than Connolly does. Finding the ideal depth role, preferably limited minutes against moderate opposition and treading water, pitching in a couple more goals than the average centreman would in that slot. He won't be worth his contract, but his contract is only around for another season.
July 10 2012, 12:35PM
I thought conolly would have been better but that was not the case ...he takes no pride no second effort at all also his compete level is low and i'm sure it has an impact on other players
connolly and bozak's names are mixed up in the "Quality of Competition / Offensive Zone Start %" table
whoops, no, just the Quality of Competition values are mixed up. Connolly should be 0.428.

The Parable of the Rich Fool
Scripture does not condemn wealth, which can be a great tool for the kingdom of God. Instead, it condemns those who serve their wealth, men and women who make it their god and do not thank the Lord for their ...Read More
Unequal Weights and False Scales
As the God who is truth Himself, it should be no surprise that one of God's utmost concerns is with the truthfulness of all of our interactions with others. Christians are to be people who are scrupulously concerned with the ...Read More
Atoning for Iniquity
Discussions of Daniel 9 often focus on calculating years, the delay of the seventieth week, and so on. All should agree, however, that the number 490 is at least partly symbolic of God's determination in the fullness of time ...Read More
Five Foolish Virgins
We cannot trust in the spiritual readiness of others. Being ready to enter the kingdom at our Lord's return or, should He tarry, to remain faithful when our rescue seems long in coming is something that we are responsible ...Read More
Ejected From the Feast
Matthew Henry comments, "Those, and those only, who put on the Lord Jesus, and to whom he is all in all, have wedding clothes." Personal, saving trust in Christ is necessary to be a part of His banquet. Such faith ...Read More
The Wedding Feast
Jesus tells us in Luke 12:48b that "everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more." The more we have been blessed with ...Read More
The Parable of the Tenants
Every professing Christian should read today's passage as a warning. All who are truly in Christ, of course, cannot finally fall away from grace, but only those who bear fruit for the kingdom are truly in Christ. Believers may ...Read More
A Tale of Two Sons
Being able to discern the faithful son is actually an act of self-indictment on the part of the leaders. If they can rightly choose as faithful the son who left his disobedience, surely they must also be able to discern ...Read More
Divine Generosity
All sins make us guilty before the Lord, but some sins are worse than others in their impact on people and in the way they violate God's will. We might think it strange that our Father calls the most ...Read More
Treasures New and Old
The new things taught by Jesus are loyal to the intent and purpose of the Old Testament. As one commentator has said, the old covenant revelation is not abolished, it is "judiciously integrated" into the new. Nevertheless, apart from becoming ...Read More
A Mixed Body
When people abandon Christ, they prove that they never had faith at all, since those with true faith are preserved by God, never to fall away permanently (1 John 2:19). Still, when we see people leave Jesus, it does ...Read More
The Pearl of Great Price
John Calvin says we need the teaching of today's passage because "we are so captivated by the allurements of the world, that eternal life fades from our view; and in consequence of our carnality, the spiritual graces of God ...Read More
A Glorious Future
Gloriously, at the time of God's harvest we who have suffered the onslaught of the Devil and the scorn of the world will shine brightly, just like the Lord Himself (Matt. 13:43). John Calvin comments, "What a remarkable ...Read More
Teaching in Parables
The Bible does not say that there are secret truths that only certain believers can find in Scripture. Those things that we do not see upon our first reading of a text are not invisible; rather, incomplete knowledge is often ...Read More
Mustard Seed and Leaven
Matthew Henry reminds us that yeast "works silently and insensibly, yet strongly and irresistibly." The kingdom of God works in a similar fashion. Though Christians often suffer and the darkness looks overwhelming, the kingdom is growing nonetheless. One day it ...Read More
