| Actress Taryn Manning was charged with misdemeanor assault after she allegedly punched, kicked, and choked her personal assistant. But Manning, best known for playing Eminem's ex-girlfriend in "8 Mile," is hardly the first star to be accused of mixing it up with a member of their staff. From Courtney Love to Anna Wintour, read on for eight of the worst personal-assistant horror stories.

| According to prosecutors, Taryn Manning punched, scratched, kicked, choked, and beat her assistant Holliann Hartman, leaving the woman with massive bruises on her head and body. Manning also allegedly smashed Hartman's face against the floor. The actress's lawyers are trying to downplay the altercation, saying it was just a late-night argument that happened after a long day of traveling to promote Manning's new music video on VH1. Regardless, the case is moving forward, and Manning has been ordered to steer clear of Hartman.

| Given Courtney Love's history, is it any surprise that one of her personal assistants is suing her for back pay? Jessica Labrie's lawsuit alleges that Love promised $30 an hour, a full scholarship to Yale, and an opportunity to work on a Nirvana biopic. Instead, Labrie, whose title was assistant and "forensic research aide," says she got stiffed. Labrie also claims Love requested that she hire a computer hacker and send fake legal documents. A publicist for Love responded in a statement: "The allegations are completely unfounded and are being made with malice by a disgruntled former employee."

| Jennifer O'Neill was in charge of Lady Gaga's schedule, and credit-card bills, as well as ordering her meals and making sure the megastar had a towel as soon as she stepped out of the shower. But O'Neill says the singer hasn't ponied up the $379,000 in overtime she's owed. O'Neill has sued Gaga, claiming she was on duty 24 hours a day and routinely worked far more than a typical 40-hour workweek. A rep for the star called the suit "completely without merit."

|Lance Armstrong has seen a lot of his dirty laundry aired lately. In early October the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a scathing report that painted the cyclist as a dope fiend who forced teammates into using banned substances. But just before that report dropped, Armstrong's personal assistant painted another picture—of what he says it's like to be on his boss's bad side. Fired in 2004, Mike Anderson writes in an article in Outside that Armstrong backed out of an agreement to help him open a bike shop and tried to strong-arm him into signing a nondisclosure agreement. When that didn't work, Anderson writes, Armstrong's lawyers began leaking details of the negotiations to the press, making outlandish claims to the press, and suing Anderson for extortion. Anderson countersued and eventually settled out of court.

|Cellphone-throwing supermodel Naomi Campbell has been accused of abusing several of her employees—from her limo driver to her housekeeper. She also has been accused of assaulting a police officer at Heathrow Airport. Amie Castaldo, one of her personal assistants, has made some of most specific claims yet. According to Castaldo, Campbell attacked her, screaming, "You [expletive] worthless [expletive]." Campbell allegedly also head-butted her, bit her, and pulled her to the ground by her hair. What caused the row? Castaldo says Campbell became enraged when she booked the wrong hairdresser for an event. A spokeswoman for the model says she "categorically denies the wild accusations by Amie Castaldo."

|Keri Hilson reportedly lost it when she realized her personal assistant failed to remove a tag from a pair of black harem pants she was wearing on stage. According to one source, Hilson lost it and started screaming at the assistant for "not being able to do anything right." One of Hilson's security guards and her manager reportedly had to intervene before the singer stormed off. Hilson's rep denied the report, saying there was no altercation.

|Andrew Young's job for much of the time he worked with former Sen. John Edwards was covering up his boss's affair and subsequent love child. Young had to take out a lease in his name for Edwards's mistress Rielle Hunter, get her a BMW, and make sure she had her allowance from the presidential candidate. As if that wasn't enough, Young would later falsely claim paternity of Hunter's baby to keep Edwards's reputation intact.

|Anna Wintour's impossibly high standards have become the stuff of legend, thanks to the novel "The Devil Wears Prada." The book, based on author Lauren Weisberger's stint as assistant to the legendary Vogue editor, paints Wintour's alter ego Miranda Priestly as an exacting boss who would dress down employees who didn't look the part. Priestly's requests—from tracking down the latest "Harry Potter" book to send to her children in Paris to identifying an antique store where she once saw a dresser she liked—veer from the ostentatious to the impossible.

Post Falls man charged with attempted murder of girlfriend
POST FALLS, Idaho - A convicted sex offender from northern Idaho is charged with attempted first-degree murder after his girlfriend was strangled until she lost consciousness.
Post Falls police arrested Kenneth Edward Schleining, 38, of Dalton Gardens when he met with his probation officer on Tuesday. His bail was set at $500,000.
Capt. Greg McLean said the 26-year-old woman told investigators Schleining strangled her as they sat in a vehicle at a truck stop in Post Falls. She said that when she regained consciousness, Schleining told her to go back to sleep because she would be dead soon. She was able to fight her way out of the car.
McLean said the woman suffered retinal bleeding and had scratches on her body. She told a friend about the assault and the friend contacted police.

The topic of bullying is prevalent in the news these days. It's even the subject of a major new movie now playing in area theaters. It's called, simply Bully.
This year, over five million kids will be bullied at school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones and on the streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence young people in this country experience.
We begin this week's Local Show by introducing you to an unexpected bullying prevention resource in our metro…Wayside Waifs. What, you might ask, does an animal shelter know about bullying? Well, as you're about to see, it seems quite a lot.
As statistics show, many bullies begin their harassment hurting animals. Wayside Waifs provides a unique violence prevention curriculum for grade school kids that involves bringing dogs into the classroom to teach some important lessons. The program is called No More Bullies.

We go for blue in a few months, they were just recognized. Archie won his puppy class before they went full. BUT it was my favorite color of pink. I honestly don't know how he will do against the imports, they have much better fronts than Archie. Archie is special and believe it or not, I'm trying to take this seriously since I hope to have little Archies and some more Weezies some day soon. I hung up the ho boots and the stories for now, we have lessons and matches with the local kennel club starting up again soon......
Congrats Pals, great job

UTSA researcher launches nanomedicine journal
(Feb. 11, 2005)--Tachung Yih, chair of the UTSA Department of Mechanical Engineering, is half of a duo hoping to magnify nanomedicine, a rapidly growing field using medical intervention at the molecular level to cure disease or repair damaged tissues.
Yih and Chiming Wei, director of the Cardiothoracic-Renal Molecular Research Program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Md., will launch in March "The Journal of Nanomedicine" -- the first journal in its field.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
To be published quarterly by Elsevier, one of the world's leading scientific and medical journal publishers, the journal will feature peer-reviewed articles, clinical and investigative studies, and reports on new equipment and techniques in the emerging field.
"The development of nanomedicine over conventional medicine offers many advantages including portability and implantability," said Yih, executive editor of the new journal. "We hope to provide a common platform for everyone working in this field to stay informed on the latest research findings."
The National Institutes of Health recently announced an initiative to support nanomedicine development centers to help scientists construct miniature synthetic biological devices such as implantable pumps for drug delivery or tiny sensors to scan for the presence of infectious agents or metabolic imbalances indicating disease.

Thanks for the comments. Ron - it was not easy to get rid of the vignetting; I applied first Vignetting Reducer (vignetting.republika.pl /) to each photograph, and that helped quite a bit, but some vertical dark bands were still visible. I tried to make these less obvious in Photoshop. [It looks like I will have to buy the real deal, Photoshop Elements is unable to open these big files.]
Looks great Zoltán! How did you get rid of the vignetting?
Great looking pano, Zoltan!

Mildew removers are common household cleaners. Swallowing, breathing in the product, or spraying it in the eyes can be potentially dangerous.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Mildew removers are sold under various brand names.
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Swallowing such poisons can have severe effects on many parts of the body. The ultimate outcome depends on the extent of this damage. Damage continues to occur to the esophagus and stomach for several weeks after the poison was swallowed, and death may occur as long as a month later.

Supervisors sign off on Tax Increment Financing district for proposed water park
TOBYHANNA TWP., Pa. - Officials in a Monroe County township continued to get their ducks in a row Monday in connection with Phase 1 of a proposed multi-million dollar water park and resort.
By a 5-0 vote, the Tobyhanna Township supervisors created a Tax Increment Financing district for the $350 million Kalahari Resorts project on 154 acres owned by Pocono Manor off Interstate 380. The Pocono Mountain School Board and the Monroe County commissioners have already signed off on the TIF ordinance.
By the same vote, the supervisors created an authority that will oversee improvements in the Neighborhood Improvement District that will include the Kalahari project.
That seven-member body will be called the Neighborhood Improvement District Municipal Association and include all five supervisors -- John Holahan III, Donald J. Moyer, Anne Lamberton, John Kerrick and Heidi Pickard -- as well as Michelle Bisbing, marketing director of Pocono Mountains Economic Development Corp., and Steve Pine, representing the property owner.
The supervisors are expected to vote on creating the NID in the coming months.
Both votes were taken after two brief public hearings. The only question from the public was asked by Pocono Pines resident Tom Keys, who wanted to know if property owners would have to make up the revenue if Kalahari defaulted on TIF payments.
Township solicitor Patrick Armstrong said taxpayers would not be liable, because the township does not have any tax agreement with the developer.
A 20-year, $26 million bond for off-site improvements for the Kalahari project will be issued by the Monroe County Industrial Development Authority, not the township, he added.
Property taxes generated by Phase 1 of the Kalahari project will be used to pay debt service on the bonds, Armstrong noted, and a special assessment on the property will require Pocono Manor to make up the difference if property tax revenues fall short.
Armstrong also reported that an inter-governmental agreement regarding the Kalahari sewer and water lines is in the works with Pocono Township and should be ready for a vote on June 10. The agreement will give Tobyhanna jurisdiction over the lines that extend into Pocono Township, Armstrong said.
A similar agreement with Coolbaugh Township will be needed because Kalahari gas lines will "tentacle" into that municipality, he noted.
Developers have said Kalahari Resorts could open as early as 2015.
The first phase of the development would include a 450-room hotel, a 100,0000-square-foot indoor water park, a two-acre outdoor water park, a convention center, an indoor theme park/arcade and retail space with room for two restaurants

Netbooks To Get Intel Dual-Core Atom Processors
- 2 Comment
Intel has been rumored to be working on dual-core Atom processors for netbooks, and within the past few days, Intel CEO Paul Otellini confirmed that the company will indeed be bringing this product to market this coming year.
Currently, Intel produces the 1.6GHz Atom 330 microprocessor and rumor on the street is that Intel's new dual-core processors will join the Atom 500 series of chips. These new chips will have integrated memory controllers and integrated graphics, and potentially support 720p.
According to Otellini, "there will still be significant growth in the netbook business year-over-year." The dual-core Intel processors will be released in the second quarter, right before the holiday season. Netbooks featuring dual-core chipsets are expected to start selling before the end of the year.

The goals of treatment are to:
If you have an infection, you will be given antibiotics.
See also:
You may take pain relievers (including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or pyridium, which works on the urinary tract) along with antibiotics.
People with urethritis who are being treated should avoid sex or use condoms during sex. If an infection is the cause of the inflammation, your sexual partner must also be treated.
Urethritis caused by trauma or chemical irritants is treated by avoiding the source of injury or irritation.
Urethritis that does not clear up after antibiotic treatment and lasts for at least 6 weeks is called chronic urethritis. Different antibiotics may be used to treat this problem.
With the correct diagnosis and treatment, urethritis usually clears up without any complications.
However, urethritis can lead to permanent damage to the urethra (scar tissue called urethral stricture) and other urinary organs in both men and women.
Men with urethritis are at risk for the following complications:
After a severe infection, the urethra may become scarred and then narrowed (urethral stricture).
Women with urethritis are at risk for the following complications:
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of urethritis.
Some causes of urethritis may be avoided with good personal hygiene and by practicing safer sexual behaviors such as monogamy (one sexual partner only) and using condoms.

i'm starting to get a little discouraged here.
the first batch of mead i tried - real basic, just honey, a little yeast & water - turned into vinegar and i had to dump. i was meticulously clean, sanitizing everything, but there may have been an air leak in the cover and .. i dont know if that was a contributing factor .. but i just dont like drinking vinegar and gave up on it.
my 2nd batch was a 3gal batch and consisted of 1# honey per gal of water (i didnt want to wait 6 months for it to finish) plus yeast, yeast nutrients, and some defrosted blackberries i threw in to flavor it. again, everything was sanitized and very clean. it was fermenting okay in a glass carboy with air lock, except there was a sulfur smell. based on readings from a few mead forums, i added a little more yeast nutrient which *seemed* to make a difference.
anyway, after 5, 6 days all activity seemed to stop and i racked into another glass carboy. but - the smell was really nasty .. not sulfur, just baaad. i'm almost ready to chuck this one too. i cant imagine drinking something that smells so lousy .. unless someone tells me it will dissipate after a while.
any ideas if its bad, and what may have gone wrong?

Obesity Interventions in Underserved Communities: Evidence and Directions by Virginia M. Brennan (Editor), Shiriki K. Kumanyika (Editor), Ruth Enid Zambrana (Editor)
416 Pages, English, Johns Hopkins University Press (November 20, 2014)
The obesity epidemic has a disproportionate impact on communities that are hard-hit by social and economic disadvantages. In Obesity Interventions, a diverse group of researchers explores effective models for treating and preventing obesity in such communities.

Vital Conversations: Improving Communication Between Doctors and Patients by Dennis Rosen (Author)
264 pages, English, Columbia University Press (September 23, 2014)
The health-care system in the US is by far the most expensive in the world, yet its outcomes are decidedly mediocre in comparison with those of other countries. Poor communication between doctors and patients, Dennis Rosen argues, is at the heart of this disparity, a pervasive problem that damages the wellbeing of the patient and the integrity of the health-care system and society. Drawing upon research in biomedicine, sociology, and anthropology and integrating personal stories from his medical practice, Rosen shows how important good communication between physicians and patients is to high-quality care. Rosen concludes with a prescriptive chapter aimed at building the cultural competencies and communication skills necessary for higher-quality, less-expensive care.

The Honorable Russ Feingold is balking;
I especially like this quote;
"Nobody is going to bring a bill before Christmas, and maybe not even then, if this ever happens," Feingold said. "The divisions are so deep. I never seen anything like that."
Feingold reiterated his appraisal a bit later.
"We're headed in the direction of doing absolutely nothing, and I think that's unfortunate," he said when asked about the plight of uninsured Americans.""

|they don't get paid that much either but $ isn't the reason people take those kinds of jobs hell i'd do it for free if they gave me everything that i need to survive here in WI there are plenty of jobs in that line of work and if read the thread on CT license prices going up i can live out there with my grandparent for free well i'd get my own place sooner or later. they live in N. Cannon and that is 5 minute from the Mass. border get to the farmington is 30 minutes live within walking distance to the blackberry and a few minutes from the Housy.
He was a college grad. working for peanuts. Those contractors keep the $$ and pass very little on.
Too bad for him, but the gov. probablt saves some money doing it that way. No bennies, perks, vacay pay, insurance, etc.
Sad sign of the times.
Heres a picture of a small back woods part of Spear Fish Canyon we hiked. This is where we met the young forestry worker and talked in that meadow.
The cliffs in the background are just before the area they filmed the closing scene of Dances with Wolves.
Imagine that being your office to work in each day !
I think thats true what Bob is saying. This summer when out in the Black Hills, SD I was hiking a wilderness area in Spear Fish Creek Canyon in the northern black hills with two of my sons.
One beautiful area where they filmed scenes from Dances with Wolves. A matter of fact the closing scene in the picture when Keving Costner is riding up into the canyon to go away with his indian wife from the US Calvary was right where we were. Awesome scenery, maybe will post a picture for you today.
Any way when we were walking the trail I saw this young fellow with a back pack and clip board with books. At first I though he was a trout fisherman. On our way back we ran into him again and we talked.
He was a forestry graduate from Michigan State. He was working for a forestry contracting service since it was very difficult to get a full time forestry job at one park. He said that much of the forestry technical work is now outsourced to contract firms. Who performed projects for state and federal forests. They would be on a project 3-6 months located in one of our forests, doing research on the quality of the forests. So he was travelling a couple of times a year to a new location.
What a great job. I watched him take samples of ponderosa pines and another variety.
What a job walking around the beautiful natinal forests all day by your self and geting paid for it. Plus he was a fly fisherman, mountain biker and skier and got to do all of that he wanted to.
He might be at the Grand Canyon now. That is where he said he was heading next. So if that is your dream job I say don't be deterred in pursuing it.
Great job for a young single guy, if you are married not so great though.
PM Out
Hey, SDH
What do you mean, "only a sophomore"? That's GREAT! There are many who wish they were your age again, and could do it RIGHT this time! Just keep at it - and keep doing a good job!
By the way, I have known forest rangers - and it is NOT just about watching for fires, etc. Most of them had to learn about forest diseases, insects, etc - very same biology you talk about.
There is only one downside currently in a fishery biology or forestry background - there is no requirement. Currently, state budgets are down, and there are early retirements with no backfill. I hear this from state fisheries biologists that I have casual conversation with. Don't know if there is an end in sight, but I do know that there currently are lots of unemployed recent graduates - and some very good ones!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but better to know now!
|Hell what good is a 12ga if you can't drop a birdie now and then.
|Tony Petrella
a wonderful life
I truly feel sorry for people who don't hunt and fish. Those PETA types who rant and rave all the time really don't understand what it means to be an outdoorsman.
They walk around in ultra-expensive pseudo-outdoors clothing, blathering and slobbering about how hook & bullet guys like me are destroying the poor little piggly-wigglies and warm-fuzzies.
In reality, starting with President Teddy Roosevelt, it's been the hunters and anglers of America who saved countless species from wanton slaughter in the name of "market gunning" for restautant fare, or indiscriminate netting of fish for the same purpose. Deer, turkey, I can't even begin to list the wild game that's been "saved" by outdoorsmen in their various conservation groups, or license fees, or the Dingell-Johnson tax we pay on all fishing tackle.
Oooops--soapbox time again! Sorry. Suffice to say that being a game warden, forestry guy, or biologist is a rewarding and very worthwhile endeavor.
|i've thought about being a forest ranger
To think in high school I wanted to be a forest ranger and sit on one of those western fire towers alone watching for fires !
Look what I turned out to be a corporate guy a capitalist !!
Fly fishing and other outdoor activities keeps me in the outdoors where I really wanted to work.

|like i have stated before i want to be a fisheries biologist thought about entemology but changed my mind there are way too many bugs out there to memorize. i'm pretty good at math too but as good as i am in science. as a matter of fact i'm going to kill myself next year by taking chemistry and physics at the same time i'm doing this so i can take APbiology my senior year yep that's right i'm only a sofmore.
I was told this a very long time ago and it still holds true today.
Work a job that you love, for if you do you will never work another day in your life..
Attn: SDHflyfisher
Pick a field which is really needed, AND THAT YOU ENJOY! A career is a job that you spend the rest of your life at. But it should be FUN as well.
Sciences are good (I am a retired chemist/manager). By the way, so is math. Why math? Well, for starters, QUALITY is the byword today, and it uses a lot of mathematicians for the statistics and process/product controls. Environment control, too! Lots of fun, as well.
Science is great - I spent a lot of my career doing pollution abatement and managing an environmental engineering group. I am proud of a lot of my accomplishments, as well as my co-workers.
|Tony Petrella
I will check out your fish story. Being an old writer myself, I always enjoy a good yarn. It doesn't even really have to have much in the way of facts or truehoods--'long as it's a right good spin.
Yep, Bill Sherer is big on muskies. He guides up there, and sells a whole bunch of flies that he ties for 'em. I don't catch many trout out in front of my house that are as big as the musky flies he ties.
Bill Sherer will be at my local fly shop a week from Saturday actually I am afraid to go, may get hooked on chasing musky again but this time with long rod.
Check out my story in the archives about the Big Hawg I lost on Petes Bar on The Chip. Put "Musky" in the search engine and it should come up. True story I kid you not, I have not musky fished since, I figured whats the point nothing will ever equal that one and the experience of TRYING to fight it.
I hear Bill specializes in muskies on the fly in the North Woods ?
PM Out
P.S. The thread with that story is in the Pacific Northwest Steelhead section, the thread is titled "In The Zone. Putting in musky in the search engine will bring it up for you. Let me know what you think ?
|Tony Petrella
You'll never go wrong with a degree in the sciences. No matter what else happens in the world, there always will be a need for chemists, biologists and such.
Keep up the good work!

The Find: Chewy-good mini candied pecan pies at Off-Site Kitchen
You can find these fresh-baked little cuties displayed by the cash register at Nick Badovinus' new breakfast-and-lunch spot on the edge of the Design District, Off-Site Kitchen. Their tiny size (they're about 3 inches in diameter) is their strength, giving them a higher proportion of crust to filling than you'd get in full-size pies. That crust is wonderfully flaky, and you get just the right bit of filling in each bite. Chewy-good. They can be yours for $2.95 apiece.

i haven't read this entire thread and probably won't:
here is my take....there are people that win at sports investing, that i do know...whether you straight up handicap, trade, arbitrage, or a cominbation of these....you have to have a clear mind, be competent with numbers, have money managements skills, etc....most people that win will not post on these sports forums, though some will....i find it hard to believe that people on yachts getting bj's from supermodels are posting on covers:)....
good luck fellas
Thanks for the compliments.
Im going to answer you very seriously. The reason good books dont cut you off is simple - good books actually want some winners. Pinnacle has never kicked out a winner EVER - their reasoning is that through better ranked players they can shade their lines so that they give out a better line to everyone else. So its almost paying the better ranked players a salary to let them know what lines are soft, in order to not get killed by the masses.
I have been cut off at several books - but not books worth playing at. Matchbook will never cut anyone off because the exchange style isnt hurt at all by winners, and pinnacle wont either.
Anyone can tell you that recreational books will cut you off or make your limits ridiculous if you continuously beat them, but there is a list of about 10 books that wont cut anyone off.
This is one of my alltime favorite threads.
Makes me laugh every time.

This Week in Muay Thai: Rematches
- Published in Muay Thai
- Written by Rian Scalia
- 0
Another week has begun and that means there's some more great Muay Thai taking place in Thailand. This post will be updated with the fights that take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and other fights in the near future.
Monday, January 14:
Phetaik Kiatyongyuth vs. Phetmai Lukboonmee
This is a rematch from November and rematches will be a common theme for this week's fights. Phetmai took the win last time out simply by getting the cleaner, higher scoring shots in and did a nice job of neutralizing Phetaik. Phetaik will have to break through Phetmai's defense a lot more this time in order to win.
Chatchai Kiatyongyuth vs. Chanaphet 91Rungroj
Chatchai last fought on December 24 and lost to Khunsuklek Or Kwanmuang in a good fight. He's pretty aggressive and always one to watch.
Tuesday, January 15:
Phet-Utong Or. Kwanmuang vs. Kaotam Lukprabaht
This is a rematch of their fight from December 24, which saw Kaotam take a decision win in a close fight. While not quite the relentless fighter that his stablemate Saeksan is, Phet-Utong shares some similarities with him in how he likes to leap in with a lot of attacks, particularly his right round kick. Much of their fight last month was contested in the clinch though and that's probably where this one will end up at some point. Kaotam got dumpt and swept quite a bit but was ble to score the cleaner knees and I actually thought Phet-Utong might've deserved to win so it's good that a rematch is taking place.
Jingreedtong Seatranferry vs. Yodpanomrung SBP Car Network
Yodpanomrung has been on the come up for a while and he's got a fun, exciting style. In November he made it into the Lumpinee rankings for 130lbs at #10. Jingreedtong is still pretty young as well at around 20 years old and in November sat at #4 in the Lumpinee rankings for 130lbs.
Sarawut Phithakpabhadang vs. Yothin Sakaetongresort
Sarawaut was originally supposed to rematch Sam-D here but now faces Yothin, who's still a capable fighter. I'd definitely have Sarawut as the favorite here and expect a lot of this fight to be in the clinch. Yothin is no slouch in the clinch but Sarawaut is one of the best in that aspect.
Saenkeng KILA Sport vs. Addam Teded99
These two fought back in June with Saenkeng taking a decision after dropping Addam with an elbow in the fourth round. Both fighters hurt each other with elbows in that fight and I wouldn't be surprised to see another battle like their first encounter in this fight. Addam is usually aggressive and in good fights so I expect this one to be more of the same.
Wednesday, January 16:
Kenfang Por. Puangchon vs. Chusuan Suvitgym
Kenfang was the fighter that Hiroki Ishii made his first defense of his Rajadamnern title against in March. Originally scheduled to fight Aikpikart, he faces a much different opponent now, at 131lbs. Chusuan is very unorthodox and has good timing and footwork that can throw off a lot of fighters.
Kaimookdam Chuwattana vs. Sakmongkon 96Penang
Kaimookdam should be the favorite here and the weights reflect that. Kaimookdam had to weigh in at 120 while Sakmongkon had to make 122. I don't think the weight will be much of a disadvantage for Kaimookdam.
Thursday, January 17
Yodmanoot Phetpotong vs. Phanpayak Jitmuangnont
Yodmanoot comes off a very nice high kick knockout on December 3. Phanpayak is ranked #3 at Lumpini at 105lbs, where this fight is taking place.
Dej Sor. Ploenjit vs. Saksit Sritheeveth
The #8 and #9 ranked Lumpini fighters at 105lbs. Saksit had to make 102lbs and Dej had to make 103lbs. This is a rematch from December 17 and Dej took the win in a very competitive and action packed fight, although Dej still gets the weight advantage.

Okay, I was waiting for someone else to mention this on a Star Wars website somewhere, but maybe I'm the first person to notice it. Hasn't anyone else seen a huge resemblence between the Yuuzhan Vong and the super bad-guys in a movie based on another of Hasbros 3 3/4" figure lines, G.I.Joe? There seem to be a lot of parallels. For those who haven't seen it, the animated G.I.Joe Movie actually never made it to theaters, and was sent straight to TV. It was a 90-minute animated adventure that introduced fans to new characters from the 1987 toy lineup, including several new Joes like Falcon, Jinx, the Renegades, and the new (but short-lived) super bad guys, Cobra-La. The story goes like this (parenthesis indicate New Jedi Order parallels):
The G.I.Joe army is fighting it's usual enemy, Cobra, when they stumble across a hidden nation in the romote fringes of the Himalayas, the "roof of the world" (Unknown Regions/Galactic Rim). This society, the Cobra-La (Yuuzhan Vong), bases its technology solely on genetic manipulation of living beings. It's ruler, Golobulus (Overlord Shimrra) wears crab plates on his chest (vonduum crab armor) and has various parts of his body replaced by implants, including his eye (plaeryin bol) and arm (radank claw) and is a snake from the waist down. He rides a floating chariot creature (dovin basal), and his society's army is made up of living creatures - bat-like fighter jets, huge worms for ground assault, squids for submarines, bugs/starfish/tentacled things for hand-to-hand combat (thud/razor bugs), spider bridges, crab carpets, and all the buidlings of Cobra-La are made of corral (yorrik corral) and molusks (grashals).
Years before they get ready to attack, Golobulus sends an emissary out into the world to raise and army and sow discord amongst the nations of the world - Cobra Commander (Nom Anor). He is, unfortunately, more interested in his own political gain and power than serving his ruler, and is fairly inept at leading battles but always manages to escape capture (again, Nom Anor). Cobra-La's armies are put under the command of a tactical genius, Serpentor (Warmaster Tsavong Lah), who is always at odds with Cobra Commander but never gets around to doing away with him. He fights in battle using snakes that he straightens and throws like spears to pierce his enemies hearts (amphistaffs). There is also a female leader/spy named Pythona who is humanlike and attractive (Elan) and has acid ducts under her claws. The goal of the Cobra-La nation is to dominate the humans, whose "non-living technology is a travesty of their own noble ways" (sound familiar?). They plan to accomplish this by releasing spores to mutate humans into mindless savages (coomb spores/corral implants), and enlist the Cobras (Peace Brigade), who are traitors to their own race, to help them, including the self-seving aristocrat-turned terrorist Baroness who spies on the Joes from in their midst (Viqi Shesh).
In order to combat them, the Joes bring in a group of super-trained soldiers, the Renegades (Jedi), one of whom, Falcon, was court-martialed out of the Joes for not following orders (Kyp Durron). One of the oldest members of the Joes is seriously wounded, but in the original script, like Optimus Prime in the Transformers movie, he died - but this was deemed too violent for TV cartoons and edited out (Chewbacca's death). The Joes don't understand the living technology they are facing, but manage to win the day anyway, thanks to their newest recruits, who do most of the fighting (new Jedi) alongside a few of the older veterans (old Jedi).
So did the originators of the New Jedi Order series, after being told by Lucas not to use an army of Dark Jedi (the original bad guys they came up with for the series), remember this animated flick and use it as a basis for their new bad guys, the Yuuzhan Vong? Well, now you know, and knowing is half the battle...

text: Back in May I took my cousin turkey hunting for her first time and boy did she nail a limbhanger. The gobbler weighed 20 lbs, had a 11.5" beard, and spurs were 1 11/16" and 1 5/16". The girl was on cloud nine just happy that she hit her target and not realizing what a trophy she actually killed. I told her that I would do a cape mount for her that way she could always remember it. I finally got done with it and took it over to her. Seeing the look on her face was priceless and is what makes hunting so pleasureable. I asked her if we was going again in the spring and she didnt hesitate to answer with a big yes and told me that she has a spot on her wall for her next turkey. I hope she does for many years to come.

I purchased these speakers on cyber Monday. For the price, they are amazing! You definitely need a dedicated bass though. They hit the high notes really well, and can take a mild bass, but overall the sound quality is great and I would purchase another product by this company.
I purchased the 4in's and the 5.25in's for my WRX and the sound quality is MUCH better now! absolutely needing a dedicated bass though... thinking under the seat.

First Avogato diary entry.
Let's see... what's going on. I'm in the middle of several hairy customer projects for ZC which all involve in one way or another managing and creating documents. This is somewhat unsurprising. What's amazing is how unlike one another they all are... it often feels like we reinvent the wheel for every project. I think this is mostly because the projects are different from one another in subtle but important ways that makes it hard to share generalized code across them. This is somewhat disappointing, but since we always seem to be in such a hurry, there's not much I can do about it.
I'm also collaborating a bit with fdrake on a software configuration system named ZConfig (see CVS, in particular the zconfig-schema-devel-branch branch). This is a pretty neat system which is a bit like Python's ConfigParser, but allows you to create hierarchical data structures using a format much like Apache's config file format. Unlike ConfigParser, ZConfig will allow you to define a "schema" for a config file. When the schema is violated in some way (if someone places an unknown key or section somewhere, or if a key value cannot be converted to something that makes sense like putting a string where an integer is supposed to go), the configuration parsing stops and an error is raised. I created a prototype of the system in the 'chrism-install-branch' branch of ZConfig, and the zconfig-schema-devel-branch is Fred's reworking of the use cases serviced by the prototype. It's not quite "there" yet, but we hope to have Zope configured using ZConfig by Friday, followed shortly thereafter by ZEO.
Went to visit the Simpsons (Evan, Penney, and kids aka 4am) in Texas, and had a wonderful time. I did nothing whatsoever and it was pretty marvelous. Stephanie and I got the Simpsons a Tivo for Christmas, so we futzed around with that for a while and had quite a bit of fun. We also played a board game named Hoopla which is evidently made by the creators of Cranium. It's a cooperative game that has elements of Charades and Pictionary. Unfortunately, at one point I was required to draw a slumber party. That didn't work out very well. ;-)

Gary Hart to speak on religion, politics, March 6
Posted February 28, 2007; 05:12 p.m.
Former U.S. senator and presidential contender Gary Hart will discuss the relationship between faith and politics in a lecture titled "God and Caesar in America" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 6, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Hart examined these issues in his 2005 book "God and Caesar in America: An Essay on Religion and Politics," in which he argued that the religious right has taken control of significant portions of the Republican Party and major policy issues.
Hart served as a Democratic senator from Colorado from 1975 to 1987 and sought the party's presidential nomination in the 1984 and 1988 campaigns. Since retiring from the senate, he has been an adviser to major U.S. corporations and an author and lecturer. He currently holds the Wirth Chair in Environmental and Community Development Policy at the University of Colorado-Denver.
A longtime member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Hart has remained an influential figure on matters of national security since leaving the senate. He co-chaired the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century, a bipartisan, independent commission appointed by the U.S. Department of Defense, which issued three public reports forecasting the age of terrorism and outlined a new, post-Cold War national security policy. He also co-chaired a Council on Foreign Relations task force on homeland security, which recently released a report titled "America -- Still Unprepared, Still in Danger."
Hart has written more than a dozen books, including "The Shield and the Cloak: The Security of the Commons," "The Courage of Our Convictions: A Manifesto for Democrats" and "The Fourth Power: A Grand Strategy for the United States in the 21st Century."
The event is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Center for the Study of Religion as part of the "Crossroads of Religion and Politics" lecture series.

Five Things You Didn't Know You Could Donate
Posted On January 21, 2013 by Guest Blogger
While over 65% of households donate to charities every year, setting aside extra money for your favorite nonprofit can be overwhelming when you are in a financial rough-patch. Still looking to pay it forward in the new year despite being a little strapped for cash donations? Choosing to donate old clothes and appliances to charities like Goodwill or the Salvation Army is another avenue that many can turn to as a helpful alternative in such a situation.
Wouldn't it be great, though, if you could put the more random items that have been sitting around your home to better use? Well, look no further. Today I want to share a list of five things you probably have stashed away in a junk drawer or in the depths of your closet which can be donated to some great causes: Continue reading »

Together, a fictional structure from a 19th-century novelette and the author's real residence tell the intertwined tale of architecture and engineering.
Henry Petroski
Henry Petroski is the Aleksandar S. Vesic Professor of Civil Engineering and a professor of history at Duke University. His latest book, The House with Sixteen Handmade Doors: A Tale of Architectural Choice and Craftsmanship (W. W. Norton, 2014), was released in May and is discussed briefly in the following column. Photos here and in the book are copyright © 2014 by Catherine Petroski. For more photos from the book see here.
Of necessity, the earliest engineers wore many hats. Imhotep, considered the inventor of the Egyptian pyramidal structure, developed a proficiency in nutrition and surgery to maintain a healthy and efficient army of workers. His medical observations and theories recorded in an ancient papyrus were unattributed for millennia, or else new medical doctors today would likely be reciting an Imhotepean rather than the Hippocratic oath. Ancient engineers were likewise indistinguishable from what we know today as architects. Vitruvius, author of the first-century BCE treatise on Greek and Roman architecture and engineering, has been variously identified as an architect, an engineer, and an architect/engineer. In fact, the professions were effectively one and the same for nearly two millennia after Vitruvius.
The discipline of civil engineering began to be distinguished formally from that of architecture only in the 18th century. That was when France began to establish a system of specialized engineering schools, led by the École des Ponts et Chaussées. In England, independent practitioners began declaring themselves civil engineers to distinguish themselves and their work from the military. By the middle of the 19th century in the United States, the exclusive American Institute of Architects was established; not long thereafter the American Society of Civil Engineers and Architects became simply the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Around this time the growing distinction between engineering and architecture was discussed in a highly unusual book with the unassuming title The Story of a House, an English translation of the French Histoire d'une maison, written and illustrated by "Viollet-le-Duc," who no longer needed a first name or initial. Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc was born in 1814 into an intellectual middle-class Parisian family. He aspired to become an architect, but rather than following the traditional French route through the École des Beaux-Arts, the country's national school of fine arts, he sought to learn the profession by gaining practical experience in the offices of working architects.
Viollet-le-Duc became famous in his lifetime for his restoration work on medieval churches, abbeys, and castles, including Notre Dame de Paris. He did not merely restore old structures to a prior state, however. He also added new features. He gave Notre Dame its flèche-like third tower, and he encouraged the addition of modern touches such as cast-iron columns and struts to Gothic masonry spaces. He wrote extensively about architectural history and theory, often illustrating his original ideas with his own drawings. Napoleon III commissioned him to design a luxurious railway carriage in the Gothic style. He was also supposed to design the internal structure for the Statue of Liberty, but did not complete it before he died in 1879.
Viollet-le-Duc's Historie d'une maison was translated into American English by Boston lawyer-turned-author George Makepeace Towle, who became known as a translator of the adventure novels of Jules Verne. Towle titled Viollet-le-Duc's work with the straightforward English translation The Story of a House. A British translation of Historie d'une maison was made by the English architect and Viollet-le-Duc enthusiast Benjamin Bucknall, who gave it the more descriptive title How to Build a House: An Architectural Novelette.

text: I have a strange request. Well, I guess its not really strange... maybe. Anyway, does anyone have a picture of a person HOLDING one of the .45 Scale Lightsabers? I have seen pictures of the scale lightsabers next to the regular sized replica, but since I dont have the normal size one it is hard for me to judge the size. I am thinking about getting one (or all three) and would like to see the size in relation to a person's hand. If you could help I would appreciate it!

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is a disorder passed down through families that affects how the body builds and breaks down purines. Purines are a normal part of human tissue and help make up the body's genetic blueprint. They are also found in many different foods.
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is passed down through families (inherited) as an
Too much uric acid can cause gout-like swelling in some of the joints. In some cases, kidney and bladder stones develop.
Males with Lesch-Nyhan have delayed motor development followed by abnormal movements and increased reflexes. A striking feature of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is self-destructive behavior including chewing off fingertips and lips. It is unknown how the disease causes these problems.
There may be a family history of this condition.
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. The exam may show:
Blood and urine tests may show high uric acid levels. A skin biopsy may show decreased levels of the HGP enzyme.
No specific treatment exists for Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. Gout medication (allopurinol) can lower uric acid levels. However, treatment does not improve the neurological outcome.
Some symptoms may be relieved with the following medicines:
The outcome is likely to be poor. Persons with this syndrome usually need help walking and sitting and generally need a wheelchair.
Severe, progressive disability is likely.
Call your health care provider if signs of this illness appear in your child or if there is a history of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome in your family.
Genetic counseling for prospective parents with a family history of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is recommended. Testing can be done to see if a woman is a carrier of this syndrome.

Seasonal service, take a look at when we fly.
In Holguin, you don't need to go far for a taste of authentic Cuban life. Catamarans are waiting in the port to whisk you away to the very best snorkelling spots and Jeeps are always ready to lead you into the jungles of Cuba's most adrenaline-filled destination.
Holguin is a place where different months of the year can deliver completely different getaway experiences. Come in January for daytime highs in the mid-20s C or wait until April when it's truly tropical and a day below 30 C is rare.
The water in Holguin really is blue, the sand white and the rum is as delicious as people say. It's hard to understand why Christopher Columbus, who first set foot in Holguin province in October 1492, ever left this place.
When you arrive at the Frank Pais Airport, you'll be transported to one of three regions that make up the resort area: Guardalavaca, Esmeralda and Playa Pesquero. On your way there, you'll pass by banana plantations and travel over rolling hills once home to sugar cane fields. Sharing the road with other travellers and locals, don't be surprised if you pass by mopeds, modern tour buses and horse-drawn carriages called coches de caballo.
The resort area of Holguin offers a tropical kiss from the Caribbean and keeps couples and families equally happy with a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Be sure to head to Guardalavaca Beach, where you can kick back in the shade of a mango tree and take a short stroll to a sand-floored bar for a bottle of local Cristal, Bucanero or beer.
Holguin is a fantastic destination for:
- beaches
- snorkelling and diving
- romance
