Texas A&M Sweeps Final Swimming & Diving SEC Dual
COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The LSU Swimming and Diving program fell to both Texas A&M squads in College Station, Texas, in the Tigers final Southeastern Conference dual meet.
LSU will return to Texas A&M's Rec Center on Feb. 19 for the SEC Championships.
"We are going to come back to Texas A&M for our conference championships hungry," Diving Coach Doug Shaffer said. "I think it will happen from the swimming and diving side. We are going to have that type of mindset, which is good."
The Aggies men's team (1-4, 1-3 SEC) defeated the No. 17 LSU men's team (4-2, 2-2 SEC) by a margin of 158-140 in a dual that was not decided until the last event. The loss ended the Tigers three-meet win streak.
"On the front half of the meet we put ourselves in a great position, but the second half of the meet they were getting their hands on the wall first," Swimming Coach Dave Geyer said. "To win meets you have to get their first in the second half of the meet as well. We came up short. I thought that there were some great performances on the team."
The No. 5 Aggies women's team (6-1, 3-1 SEC) defeated the Lady Tigers (6-2, 3-2 SEC) by a score of 179-107. LSU will host Houston, Rice and Tulane next Friday in the LSU Natatorium.
"When I talked to the women, I told them that this is what SEC's are going to be like," Geyer said. "There are going to be multiple top-10 teams at the conference championships. Just because we had some second and third place finishes does not mean that they were bad swims by any means. I think we raced well."
The Tigers opened up the meet with a victory in the 200 medley relay behind the efforts of sophomore Michael Young, senior Andrei Tuomola, senior Raymond De Padua and junior Michael Saco with a time of 1:29.89.
Senior Craig Hamilton added a victory in the 1000 free in the second event with a season best mark of 9:20.89.
The Aggies proceeded to swim 1-2-3 in the 200 freestyle and earn nine first place points in 100 backstroke. Young, senior Nick Kunkel and De Padua finished second, third and fourth, respectively, in the 100 back.
The Tigers threw down a 1-2-3 finish of their own in the 100 breast. Junior Ricardo Alvarado Jimenez touched the wall first with a time of 56.07, and was followed by junior Walter Loop (56.48) and freshman Collin Finnegan. Loop's 100 breast swim was a career low.
Sophomore Frank Greeff and Tuomola tagged on a pair of victories in the 200 butterfly (1:48.81) and the 50 free (20.38), respectively. At the first diving break LSU led 74-57.
The Aggies regained a slight edge by winning the one-meter springboard event, and continued the momentum with victories in the 100 free and 200 back.
However, LSU retook the lead with a 1-2-3 finish in the 200 breast. Loop posted his second career best of the meet with a time of 2:01.24 in a first place swim. Freshman Gabe Rooker and Finnegan followed behind.
The Aggies responded with wins in the 500 free and 100 fly. LSU again retook the 133-129 lead after junior Sean McKinney won the three-meter dive with his second highest career total of 371.63.
Texas A&M went on to win the 400 individual medley and the 200 free relay to clinch victory.
On the women's side, junior Torrey Bussey posted an impressive 100 breast time of 1:02.89 in a second place finish behind Olympian Breeja Larson.
Seniors Audrey Lawson (2:00.34) and Sara Haley (2:00.79) notched impressive marks in the 200 fly. Lawson's swim was a season low.
Freshman Cassie Weil finished second on the three-meter with a score of 312.61. Senior Elle Schmidt scored a season high 288.60 in a second place finish on the one-meter.

Marquette 71, Miami (Fla.) 61
WASHINGTON -- Junior reserve Jamil Wilson had 16 points and Vander Blue and Davante Gardner added 14 as No. 3 seed Marquette, with four players in double figures, beat No. 2 seed Miami 71-61 on Thursday in the East Region semifinals at the Verizon Center.
Chris Otule added 11 points for the Golden Eagles (26-8), whose harassing defense frustrated a Miami team that ended the season 29-7 after winning the ACC regular-season and tournament titles.
The Hurricanes were paced by Shane Larkin, who had 14 points, in a game that was not as close as the final score.
Redshirt junior forward Wilson, averaging 9.7 points, hit a 3-pointer to give Marquette a 41-23 lead with 14:56 left in the game.
It was the third 3-pointer of the game for Wilson, who had seven points in the first half.
Miami cut the lead to 43-30 on a 3-pointer by Trey McKinney-Jones early in the second half but the Golden Eagles went on an 8-0 run to take a 51-30 lead on a basket by Blue.
A dunk by Julian Gamble of Miami made it 51-37 with 8:36 left in the game but Davante Gardner made two baskets in a row to give Marquette a 57-39 lead with 6:20 left.
Gardner hit two free throws with 4:45 left to give the Golden Eagles a 59-42 edge as Marquette fans began an "overrated" chant.
Gardner hit two more three throws to make it 61-44 and a layup by Blue gave Marquette a 63-44 advantage with just 4:00 to go to put away Miami.
Marquette will play Saturday against the winner of Thursday's late tip between No. 1 seed Indiana and No. 4 seed Syracuse. They were meeting for the first time in the NCAA Tournament since the 1987 national championship game.
Marquette got its offense rolling early with Gardner nailing a pair of 3-pointers. Miami cut the lead to 24-14 but the Hurricanes missed several easy shots in one sequence with just over 4:00 to play. Blue hit a shot with about 3 seconds left in the first half to give Marquette a 29-16 lead at the break. Blue had eight points in the first half to lead all scorers while Kenny Kadji of Miami had six.
Larkin picked up his second foul with 11:29 left in the first half but sat out just a few seconds before coming back in and playing the rest of the first half.
The Hurricanes made just 6 of 29 shots (20.7 percent) in the first half and some players became visibly upset after offensive trips down the floor came up empty. Marquette made just four turnovers in the first half.
Miami was outrebounded 38-33. It played without 6-foot-10 center Reggie Johnson, who is averaging 6.7 points and 7.0 rebounds, due to a lower extremity injury.
"Well it doesn't change our game plan but Reggie Johnson is our best rebounder at both ends of the court and we're going to need other guys to step up and do a great job especially on the defensive back boards because Marquette is such a powerful, offensively rebounding team," Miami head coach Jim Larranaga said Wednesday.
NOTES: The game was a homecoming for Larranaga and his staff, who captured the East Region title with upstart George Mason on the same floor in 2006 to earn a trip to the Final Four. ... Gardner was playing in front of a home crowd. He's from Suffolk, Va., about three hours south of the nation's capital. ... Marquette assistant coach Jerry Wainwright is the former head coach at UNC-Wilmington and used to match wits in the CAA against Larranaga. ... Marquette played on the Verizon Center floor on Feb. 11 and lost 63-55 to host Georgetown.

Canon cameras go wireless
All the latest gadget news
Posted in Personal Tech, 26th October 2005 13:01 GMT
Canon takes its cameras wireless
Well these Wi-Fi enabled cameras are certainly catching on. After Kodak and Nikon now Canon has announced a Wi-Fi model. Due in the UK early next year the Digital IXUS Wireless, great name fellas, is a 5.3 mega pixel compact snapper with a 2inch LCD and a 3x optical zoom. Just like the Nikon Coolpix P2 you can transfer images from the camera to your home PC and even set it up so that shots ping to your network the second they have been taken. It also works with PictBridge compatible printers too. And, in a really cool feature, you can even remote control your camera from the PC. It doesn't however have the Kodak EasyShare One's option of instantly emailing images via a hot spot (like the Nikon, the Canon requires dedicated software to get wireless),but then again it is set to come in at around £400.
British Boffin special – the Reefski
Last weekend the Shiny Media crew were out and about at the British Invention Show in North London, where we spent many happy hours discussing innovative packaging solutions and checking out the future of roof tiling. There were however some real gems, especially this one - the Reefski. Straight out of Q's handbook the Bondesque gadget is a submersible craft designed to take people on underwater adventure tours. In typical Bond style the real thing launches at high speed from the shore and then submerges beneath the waves to take its scuba-equipment clad passengers on a dive. If that hasn't got your all a quiver, then the fact that it is stacked out with all manner of high tech goodies from GPS systems, dive computers and spot lights for night diving really ought to be enough to, ahem float (or should that submerge) your boat. Alas, at the moment the Reefski is just the brainwave of Welsh inventor Robin Harris, here's hoping it won't be too long before it makes it into production.
Robot tea server
Meet Karakuri. She's a robot Tea Server, apparently based on a design that's almost four centuries old. According to the blurb, the robot doll "approaches surprised [for which read "freaked out"] guests with a full teacup on a tray; it stops walking when the teacup is taken, waits quietly, bows, then slowly turns around, smoothly scooting away with the empty teacup on its tray." Send her to the doorstep with the sweeties on Hallowe'en and she'll scare the bejaysus out of the kiddies. Yay for her! The little robot will set you back $169.95 ready made and $89.95 if you fancy having a go at putting her together yourself.
Control how Windows Explorer opens
For reasons best known to Microsoft, Windows Explorer in XP opens showing the My Documents folder, or some other equally pointless location when nine times out of ten what you want it to do is show the contents of your C: drive. Here's the way to make it do just that. Right-click on the Windows Explorer icon or shortcut that you use most often (you can do it to all the others as well) and click Properties. In the Target box you should add the following 'switches' to the end of the command line: /n,/e,c: .These will tell Windows Explorer to open in the root of your C: drive. If you are using another drive or want it to open somewhere else just change the c: at the end. To save you the effort of typing it all in (and if you do note that there is a space in front of '/n' and don't forget the two commas), just copy and paste the following command into the Target box: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,c:

|Cerebus #4, inside back cover (June 1978)
Art by Dave Sim
(from the introduction to Cerebus #5, Swords Of Cerebus Vol 2, 1981)
A few weeks after this issue came out, I got a call from Phil Seuling who was our biggest distributor at the time. He didn't like the issue. He said that the first four issues were great, that they had gotten progressively better -- more humor, more plot, better pacing. But No. 5 "didn't help the book. It didn't hurt, but it didn't help."... He was right...
This tied in neatly with the Gil Kane interview in Comics Journal #38 that had started me re-thinking the whole approach I was taking to doing my own comic book. The particular quote that influenced me was:
"The difference between a comic book and a novel is not labor, not effort, it's the values. In other words, there are no meaningful values in a comic book. The people in comic books are two dimensional people going through the most elementary kind of situations, not enough to sustain anybody's interest beyond an adolescent. A novel has characterization, it has suspense, it has a structured situation full of substantial values that will hold the interest of an intelligent person. That's what I mean. Those values, if they are properly translated - Harvey Kurtzman translated them into comics. His comics were literate, they were intelligent, they were humane, they were interesting, they were funny, they were everything.For instance, political cartoons, humor strips in newspapers are written in an infinitely more adult way: they're more intelligent, they're written for adults by adults with adult humor. They're really clever, and they represent adult values and that's why adults read them. Adults read them because, regardless of the fact that they're comics, they're dealing with adult frames of reference. And comic books don't have those frames of reference."
After I finished the fifth issue I embarked on an extremely lengthy process of applying adult sensibilities to each issue of Cerebus, trying to approach every plot problem on as mature a level of communication as I could. It was not easy, and still isn't. But at the very least, I wanted to feel that each issue of Cerebus advanced our cause just that much more than the issue that preceded it. Fortunately, fan reviewers, editors, columnists and letter-writers have an uncanny knack for recognising an issue that pulls sideways instead of forwards (I knew they were good for something).

Universal Periodic Review Working Group – 12th Session
Universal Period Review of Venezuela
Statement by Australia
7 October 2011
Australia welcomes the delegation from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and appreciates its engagement in the Universal Periodic Review Process.
Australia recognises the ongoing efforts of the Venezuelan Government to strengthen the country's domestic legislative framework on indigenous rights, and its work in alleviating poverty and improving access to education and health.
Australia is deeply concerned by reports that the independence of the judiciary in Venezuela has been undermined. We encourage Venezuela to ensure transparency across the justice sector and to safeguard the independence of courts and judges. We also encourage further action to remove impediments to citizens' right to access government-held information.
We are also deeply concerned by reports of limitations placed on freedom of expression and opinion, including restrictions on particular media outlets and journalists. We note that the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion has made several communications to the government on this and related issues. We strongly urge the government to ensure that all laws and policies conform with its international human rights obligations, including those relating to freedom of expression and opinion.
Australia is concerned that the Venezuelan authorities have not authorized any visits from regional or international human rights organisations in recent years.
We welcome efforts by the government to promote the rights of persons with disabilities, including in the areas of education, health care and transport. However, we note that Venezuela is not a party to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities or its Optional Protocol.
Australia recommends Venezuela:
1. Take necessary measures to ensure transparency in the independent appointment of judicial and prosecutorial officers;
2. Ensure timely and effective access to government information;
3. Take steps to protect freedom of expression and opinion, in line with its obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights;
4. Invite representatives of international human rights organisations to visit Venezuela, including by issuing a standing invitation to the UN special procedures, and
5. Sign and ratify the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol.

The PlayStation 3 Slim already had an ability penalty of -35 Geekiness because of its lack of the "Install Other OS" option, and now the regular PlayStation 3 will follow in its footsteps. A PS3 firmware update, scheduled to land April 1, will disable this option on regular PS3s as well. This, dear readers, is what we in the business call a "testicle move", especially since only a few weeks ago, Sony bold-facedly claimed the feature would not be removed.

Uh, did you exist before 1990? The iPlayer is not an example to parallel how open access to the C64 changed the world.
Yes, and there is a high probability that I existed before you.
You need to read the comment again. I was addressing two points, though this seems to have escaped you.
1) C64 vs Consoles - back in the day, the C64 would be the PC, the Atari/Coleco etc would be the Wii/PS3 etc
2) You CAN use a Wii as a general purpose device.
Please READ what I have WRITTEN before RESPONDING, yes?

Are you all ready for the longest season ever of Big Brother? Big Brother 15 premieres in a little less than one week. This season's houseguests will endure two new weekly twists designed to shake up the game from day one.
First, three Big Brother houseguests will be nominated for eviction instead of two. More hamsters on the block most likely means more paranoia and drama surrounding nominations. So far – I like it.
Second, Big Brother fans will be asked to vote for the houseguest who they feel is playing the best game, and the winner of that vote will be declared the Big Brother MVP. The MVP will get a special power that impacts the game.
"The Big Brother MVP will force the houseguests to rethink their strategies," said Executive Producer Allison Grodner. "With America rewarding good game play, it doesn't pay to be a floater this summer."

Police hunt gunman after fatal Sydney shootingBy police reporter Sean Rubinsztein-Dunlop
Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to over a fatal shooting in south-western Sydney yesterday.
Joshua George, 24, was fatally shot in the chest during a meeting at Gidley Crescent that appears to have been pre-arranged following a dispute on Saturday.
Detectives are looking for 21-year-old Graeme Smith, but they say he may be armed and dangerous and have warned members of the public not to approach him.
Smith is described as having a solid build, is between 170 centimetres and 175cm tall and has short, light brown or blond hair and brown eyes.
Anyone who sees him is urged to call triple-0 immediately.
The fatal shooting happened in the early afternoon while children were playing on the street.
Locals tried in vain to resuscitate Mr George and emergency services were called about 1:30pm (AEDT).
Mr George was taken to Campbelltown Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Witnesses told police that the alleged gunman fled the scene through a neighbouring house and ran down the next street.
He is believed to have been a friend of the victim. Both men were known to police.
They say the shooting has no link to bikie gangs.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Brett says police are hoping a man and a woman who were with the victim at the time of the shooting will come forward.
"There was an incident yesterday [and] it is a follow-on incident today," he said last night.
"The use of a firearm is a very serious offence and the death of a person as a result of that firearm is tragic.
"We are seeking assistance from two males and a female who were seen with the victim just prior to him being shot.
"We're doing everything we can to bring this to a quick resolution."
In a separate incident, a man was taken to hospital overnight with a wound to the leg after reports of gunfire at Auburn.

County athletes receive advice from ACC's best
Catawba County prep basketball players collided on the court Saturday with top college basketball players for the 35th Annual ACC Barnstorming Tour at David Craft Gymnasium at Hickory High School.
Among the many college players in attendance for the event were Duke's Ryan Kelly, Mason Plumlee and Seth Curry.
Kelly did not play due to an injured right foot, but tried to give sound advice to the 11 county athletes who participated.
"This is a fun experience getting to play against some high-level players, obviously," Kelly said. "Take it as an opportunity to get better. I know whenever I stepped out on the court, I always wanted to play against the best players, and I wanted to get the most out of every opportunity that I had. I tell them to do that."
The 6-foot-10 Plumlee wanted the prep athletes he spoke with to understand the joys that can come from playing basketball if they continue to push themselves.
"If you love (basketball), stick with it," he said. "The game can provide a lot of opportunities and a lot blessings. I know going into college I didn't think I would do a lot of the things I have. I'm not talking about in terms of accomplishments. I'm talking about meeting the president, going to China, going to Dubai, going to Hawaii and going to the Bahamas. I met a lot of neat people. I met Jerry West. The list goes on and on. You don't know what the game will bring you, but it will bring a lot."
Curry, a projected second round NBA draft pick, said having joy in the game is the most important message for all young athletes.
"Just try to have fun," Curry said. "You tell them to always enjoy the game, if they ask for any advice, and just work hard. It's pretty simple. Just try to have fun."
A couple of scheduled names did not appear at the Barnstorming event, including North Carolina's Dexter Strickland and N.C. State's Scott Wood and Richard Howell.
All three senior players attended the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament in Portsmouth, Va.
An ACC legend in attendance for Saturday's Barnstorming game in Hickory.
Phil Ford, a former No. 2 overall pick in the NBA Draft and the University of North Carolina's second all-time leading scorer in men's basketball, took part in the festivities.
Ford, who played on the Barnstorming Tour in 1978, liked interacting with future Barnstorming Tour participants.
"I enjoy the older fans, but it is always a thrill for me to see the 8-, 9- and 10-year-old little kids coming up," he said. "They get a chance to talk to people that they probably wouldn't have had an opportunity to talk to normally."
Senior ACC basketball players weren't the only ones attending Saturday's marquee game.
N.C. State junior C.J. Leslie, who recently declared for the 2013 NBA Draft, sat on the ACC All-Stars bench next to Ford.
Leslie remembers being a young kid and watching ACC players come play at his local high school.
"You've got to remember that once upon a time, we were kids looking up to other ACC college players and seniors," he said. "It's a good time for them. You've just got to remember as a kid how excited you were when you saw those players."
At halftime, both members of the ACC and Catawba County squads were featured in 3-point and dunk contests.
The Catawba County All-Stars won both events with Hickory's Raheim Connelly winning the 3-point contest and Fred T. Foard's Jordan Turner taking down the dunk contest.
The game resumed after both exhibitions with the ACC All-Stars leading, 57-31.
Bandys senior Chris Sorenson said there was some spirited chatter between the players during the game.
"They told me I was shooting good and to keep shooting the ball," Sorenson said. "I'm honored. This is awesome. I didn't expect to get to do this."
Foard senior Joe Isenhour played in the ACC Barnstorming game despite the fact that his school's prom was taking place the same night.
Isenhour still made it to his senior prom in plenty of time, but if he had to decide between the two, his choice would have been simple.
"Playing in the game for sure," Isenhour said. "I wouldn't miss this game for anything. Now, I get to go do both and have fun. I'm excited."
In the end, the ACC All-Stars defeated the Catawba County All-Stars in sound fashion, 108-85.
However, it was the area athletes who came out the real winners with unique experiences that they will each carry for the rest of their lives.
"It's once in a lifetime. I'm truly honored," said Bunker Hill senior Justin Aiken. "This is amazing. Not many people ever get to do this in their life. I feel honored."

Abstract: The Reunion of Body and Soul: Sacred Sexuality and Resurrection in the Netherworld
The resurrection of the dead is depicted in the subterranean corridors of the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings (1570-1070 BCE). The decoration of these tombs tells the story of the sun's nightly journey through the caverns of the Netherworld, as it overcomes the many obstacles and dangers which beset its course on the way from its death in the west to its triumphant reappearance on the eastern horizon at dawn. As the night sun's barque proceeds, the god's life force increases progressively. The special ram-headed form of the resurgent god represents his ba. The ultimate mystery of this drama is accomplished when the ba of the Sun God unites, rather reunites, with the lifeless body of his alter ego, the vegetation god Osiris. The fusion of these two divine beings, complementary aspects of the Universal Creator, releases tremendous amounts of cosmic energy which has been tied up in maintaining their separate existence. The king is next incorporated into this composite being, now called, for example, Amun-Re-Osiris-Menma'atre (Sety I). In this process, the justified dead are also regenerated by the light of the recharged sun—while the enemies of the gods and king reawake only to be consigned again to perpetual torment in the fiery Egyptian Hell. The return to life is symbolized in the graphic display of sexual vigor. The particular form of Osiris found here, definitely a fertility figure, is identified as He Who Awakes Intact—recalling the episode of the Osiris myth in which the grieving Isis fails to find the severed phallus of her dismembered husband; nevertheless, she magically enables him to engender their son Horus posthumously. This miracle is represented in the Sety Temple at Abydos, with its associated Osireion (burial place of Osiris). The promise of eternal existence is signified in the reversal of time (everything is upside down and backwards in the underworld), as represented in the Book of Amduat in the 12th (last) Hour of the Night. Re and Osiris separate once more as the sun rises to enliven the earth another day, while the inert corpse of Osiris—confined to his underworld domain—slumps down to await the return of the sun for a new cycle of rebirth. This complex speculative New Kingdom theology clearly expresses the Egyptians' consummate faith in the power of life over death.

LAKE PLACID - A new bandshell is nearly complete in Mid's Park, and another special piece of the park has also fallen into place, literally.
Last week, the village highway department carried a massive boulder there in a front loader's bucket. The rock was taken from the Lake Placid Club to Mid's Park. The rock was donated by the Lussi family.
Village Trustee Peter Holdereid watched as the rock was unloaded.

Photo — Jeff Erenstone
A new rock at Mid's Park has a toy sword stuck in it, which Jeff Erenstone jokes is Excalibur, the legendary blade King Arthur pulled from a stone.
"It was about 10,000 pounds, that rock," Holdereid said. "The wheels (of the loader) looked like they were going to pop."
When the creation of the new bandshell began, the rock that sat next to the bandshell was not in the redesign. It was too heavy to move, so builders buried it under the ground. This left a few local residents worried their children would not be able to climb and play on it as they had in the past.
Jeff Erenstone and others formed the Save the Rock Committee, dedicated to returning the rock to its rightful place by the bandshell's side.
Article Map
"The motivation was that kids really liked playing on the rock," Erenstone said. "Every time there is a concert, kids sort of gravitated and played on top of the rock. When I was a little kid, I definitely did it. It's part of the heritage of that park."
Marc Galvin, co-owner of Bookstore Plus, is also a member of the committee.
"Our daughters grew up dancing on that rock," Galvin said. "We wanted a rock their to make the park unique and be like when they were growing up."
Erenstone said, early on, the committee decided that humor was the best way to raise awareness about the rock's importance.
"We've decided we were going to have fun with this," he said. "So, we started making fake facts about the rock, kind of like Chuck Norris jokes."
Of course, no two rocks are the same, but Erenstone said that didn't matter to the committee.
"We're going to put it close enough so that the cosmic energy from the other rock will flow up and make a rock connection," Erenstone said. "This new rock very may well be the rock Excalibur was pulled out of."
This rock was moved slightly from the old one's location. It now sits farther to the right of the bandshell. This opened up the area to allow more room to dance.
"Now there is actually a flat surface for people to dance on, so I totally understand it," Erenstone said. "Everything they've done I've been super-happy with and supportive. I think it's going to be a much nicer park."
At one point there was talk of taking a rock unearthed from beneath Broadyway in Saranac Lake during a sewer line replacement project, but Erenstone said that rock was too big to move.
The bandshell project is expected to be finished before for the annual summer concerts by Songs of Mirror Lake and the Lake Placid Sinfonietta. Holdereid said soon LED lights will be installed on the bandshell, and later sod will be laid in the park. The concerts start with Southern soul group J.J. Grey & Mofro on Tuesday July 1.

HE may only be 12 years old but Jackson ''Jacko'' Miller is already making a big splash in Triple J's Unearthed competition.
The young musical talent is currently sitting second in the electronic charts with his banging electro tune ''Spunk'' and is 34th in the overall standings.
Jacko, who has autism, has played music since he was about five and rocks out every week at Rosie's School of Rock in Newcastle.
''I play the drums and sing but I also play the keyboard too,'' he said.
''I was experimenting with a computer program and then my teacher Craig Smith taught me how to DJ which inspired me to want to become one of the most successful DJs,'' he said.
Jacko's early success has certainly boosted such ambitions and his music is gaining attention from music lovers online.
Tracks uploaded to sharing platform SoundCloud are getting more hits by the day and Jacko is glad he's getting noticed.
''When I uploaded my music I didn't expect it to get so many plays,'' he said.
''It just blew up big. I think a lot of people appreciate my music.''
Jacko described his style as a mix between electro, drum and bass, and dubstep, inspired by two of his favourite artists, Skrillex and Deadmau5.
He has also produced mash-ups of LMFAO and Skrillex and a Gangnam Style remix.
His mother, Kylie Miller, said Jacko had always liked music but was fortunate he had teachers at Aspect Hunter School who shared his passion.
''They used [music] to get him engaged with his school work,'' she said.
''He's always been loud but this has brought a lot more out of him.''
Mrs Miller also praised Rosie's School of Rock's AU:SUM program which is designed to assist kids on the autism spectrum.
Run by Craig ''Rosie'' Rosevear the course starts in week one of every school term and lasts for 10 weeks.
Kids form a band a work together to write, record and then perform their very own music tracks.

Thread: Boycott The Voters!

#1 Boycott The Voters!
12-16-2009, 09:04 PMLiberal filmmaker Michael Moore on Thursday called for a boycott of the state of Connecticut in reaction to Sen. Joe Liebermans (I-Conn.) opposition to key provisions of healthcare reform legislation.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) recently removed the public option and Medicare-buy in proposal, which the centrist Lieberman opposes, from the bill in order to attract centrist votes. Reid needs 60 votes in order to break a Republican filibuster of the bill.
Moore focused his anger on the Connecticut voters who reelected Lieberman in favor of liberal candidate Ned Lamont (D-Conn.) in the 2006 elections. He tweeted:
People of Connecticut: What have u done 2 this country? We hold u responsible. Start recall of Lieberman 2day or well boycott your state.
How do you boycott a state, and does this mean he wont be speaking at Yale any more?

Thank you simple words and simple applications. So many beauty bloggers talk a little more than necessary which makes the process seem complicated. ;)ReplyDelete
Tiffany, I think you're really very informative and it's all been a great help. I'm 25 and suffering from under the skin, cystic (maybe hormonal?) acne. I go to bed with my face in pain and I wake up and it's the same feeling, no matter what kinds of creams I put on. Have you ever come across a very good cleanser, toner, or moisturizer for this sort of problem. I would really like to know your opinion. Thanks!ReplyDelete
tiffany, u looked so cute when you were puffing your cheeks/funny face~ :)ReplyDelete
Hi Tiffany, what is the name of the blush in this tutorial, I didn't catch it?ReplyDelete

I used this application method for a special event I went to this weekend and the results were great! I do believe I was applying my blush too close to my nose and not on the true apple of my cheek. Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
I used this application method for a special event I went to this weekend and the results were great! I was applying the blush too close to my nose and not on the true apple of my cheeks. Thanks for another great tutorial!ReplyDelete
This is an excellent observation...many of us buy very expensive blush but unable to use it the right way to get the best effec6t and look good.The application sometimes made near the nose creates a joker like effect.ReplyDelete

I love all of your blogs. This one was definitely helpful, and I was surprised that you also LOVE Nars Orgasm. I don't use any other color! Do you have a fake eyelash tutorial??ReplyDelete

Antiques in a window (David Gluns photo)
To truly understand British Columbia's rich and diverse history, head for the museums in Fort Langley, a colourful, historic village nestled on the south bank of the Fraser River.
In 1858, the emerging Western Canadian province was declared a crown colony of Great Britain at the stockade-enclosed fort. The fort, now a National Historic Site complete with costumed interpreters, and the nearby CN Station (a heritage train station), are key Fort Langley historic sites that attract visitors, and local museums offer additional cultural insights. Another main attraction, The Canadian Museum of Flight, is located outside Fort Langley, at Langley Regional Airport.

MOSCOW -- Russian scientists declared Monday that they have found and established the composition of pieces of the meteor that exploded over the Chelyabinsk region last week, injuring hundreds of people and causing millions of dollars worth of damage.
Over the weekend, 53 tiny pieces of dark porous material were collected near Chebarkul Lake, 60 miles west of Chelyabinsk, the regional center, officials said. The biggest of the finds was 7 millimeters long.
The samples were without doubt meteorites, Viktor Grokhovsky, a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences meteorite committee, said early Monday.
PHOTOS: Meteor over Russia's Ural Mountains
"We are certainly dealing with the debris of the object that traveled here from outer space, and, based on the initial examination, we can now say that the object was a regular chondrite, which contained at least 10% metallic iron and nickel alloy as well as chrysolite and sulfite," Grokhovsky, who is a professor at Yekaterinburg-based Urals Federal University, said in a phone interview. "We sent our team to the lake as soon as we heard of the meteor falling, as it is extremely important to find and study fresh debris resulting from the explosion."
In the wake of the explosion Friday, area residents discovered a 24-foot-long hole in the thick ice on the lake, and some claimed to have seen something large fall into the water.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. Ten years after convicted murderer Michael Blagg was sentenced to life in prison for killing his wife Jennifer, he'll be heading back to the courtroom.
Judge David Bottger granted Blagg's motion for a retrial after he decided juror Marilyn Charlesworth didn't convey the truth about her experiences with domestic violence on a juror questionnaire.
Cathy Mortensen, Charlesworth's daughter-in-law, said she was surprised by the decision. She said she still believes Marilyn didn't fully understand the definition of domestic violence when she filled out that questionnaire and that Charlesworth went into the trial without bias.
"I don't think she's ever really told me that she thought that he was guilty from day one," Mortensen said. I really do believe she went into it with a level head."
District Attorney Pete Hautzinger said he also believes Michael Blagg got a fair trial.
"The issues with this juror really didn't have anything to do with guilt or innocence," Hautzinger said. "They have to do with a juror not being honest."
However, case law states if a juror lies during selection about something relevant to the trial, the defense can get a new trial.
The District Attorney's office could appeal the motion. Hautzinger said the office has to discuss it with the Attorney General first. That entire process would take time and he said he'd rather get the retrial going sooner rather than later.
"if we have to give him another trial we will do everything in our power to make sure he's convicted again," he said.

Gene Raises Risk for Pancreatitis in Men Who Drink
Genetics can play a role in whether you develop certain diseases. Think heart disease. Your risk for this condition is higher if you have a family history of it. A new study suggests that genetics may also up the risk for chronic pancreatitis in some men. Those who have a specific gene face a higher risk for this disorder, particularly if they drink a lot.
The genetic factor
More than 100,000 people in the U.S. have chronic pancreatitis. It causes lasting damage to the pancreas. You are more likely to suffer from the disorder if you drink alcohol. But only a small percentage of alcoholics actually develop it. This fact has led experts to wonder if another underlying factor plays a role.
To find out, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh conducted a 10-year study with more than 2,000 adults. They discovered a genetic variation on the X chromosome that may make some people more likely to get pancreatitis. Of the study participants, the genetic variant was found in only 26 percent of men without pancreatitis. But almost 50 percent of men with alcoholic pancreatitis had the variation.
"We knew there was an unexpected higher risk of men developing pancreatitis with alcohol consumption, but until now we weren't sure why," says study lead author David Whitcomb, M.D. "The discovery that chronic pancreatitis has a genetic basis solves a major mystery about why some people develop it and others do not."
Some groups more at risk
Researchers found that people who suffer an injury to the pancreas have a higher risk for chronic pancreatitis. The amount these people drink raises that risk even more.
Men tend to develop the disorder more often because they have only one X chromosome, along with a Y chromosome. Women, on the other hand, seem to be protected from the disease. That's because they have two X chromosomes. Both of them must have the variant to increase a woman's risk.
Doctors may be able to use this information to improve care for people with early-stage pancreatitis. Knowing if the patient has this genetic variant may help doctors better manage treatment, preventing the disease from becoming chronic.
This study was published in the journal Nature Genetics.

Setting Limits with Alcohol
Many people enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a beer while watching the game. Having a drink now and then is fine-as long as you don't overdo it. Heavy alcohol use can lead to health conditions such as cancer, chronic pancreatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, heart failure, and stroke. Alcohol is also associated with mental health issues such as depression and even suicide.

Thoughts from a "thrilled Catholic"
Award-winning U.S. Catholic poet and author Brian Doyle talks about his new book, Mink River (Oregon State), with Mary Faith Bell of the Headlight Herald of Tillamook, Oregon:
Q: You are the editor of Portland Magazine at the University of Portland, Oregon's Catholic university, and much of your work has to do with Catholicism and spiritual search. Do you mind if I ask what role does the Catholic Church play in your life?
A: I am what you might call a thrilled Catholic - a guy absorbed by the human genius of the faith, not the corporate foolishness and cruelty of it. In the final analysis, I think, Catholicism is about attentiveness, about being alert to and celebrating the daily miracle, about witnessing and trying for grace, about being amazed by the holiness of what is alive. The world is stuffed with holiness wedded to great pain; being Catholic grounds me in attentiveness, makes my antennae sharper for the difficult joys of commitment, forces me to remember I am small and the divine gifts are beyond measure.
It's a complex church to be in, sure - people ask me how can I belong to a church in which thousands of children were abused? I suppose part of my answer would be how can I leave, when any effort I can make as a Catholic could fight that, stop that, protect and celebrate the miracle of children? It's easy to quit things, but harder and often deeper to stay with the boat in a storm, seems to me. As my sister, a Buddhist nun, says, spirituality is the ocean, and religions are boats. Catholicism is my boat on that vast and crucial sea. And like many Catholics I am the first to shout that life is stuffed with sacramental moments; they don't just happen in church, of course. Mink River, I hope, is stuffed with sacramental moments.
That's really what the book's about: thorny grace, shaggy grace, grace under duress. That's the great story of all of us, holding hands together against the dark. I suppose that's what the book wanted to be about more than anything.
Read the whole interview here. If you only read uscatholic.org, you may not be familiar with Doyle, whose work appears regularly in the print version. Here's an essay of Doyle's that appeared recently at our site, about his first day of work as an editor at U.S. Catholic in the late 1970s.

Thanks to James Cameron (and, well, history too), the iceberg now has a reputation as an cold murderous force of nature, sinking both ships and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Stafford Loans
The Federal Direct (Stafford) loan program is the primary source of financial assistance to Georgetown Law students. Students may apply for an annual maximum of $20,500 in Stafford loans. Graduate-student Stafford loans first disbursed between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 have a fixed interest rate of 6.0% which accumulates interest while the student is enrolled. (Graduate-student Stafford loans first disbursed between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017; between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016; between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015; between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014; and between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2013 have fixed interest rates of 5.31%; 5.84%; 6.21%; 5.41%; and 6.8%, respectively.) The lender allows the interest to accrue separately until the time the student enters repayment, at which point the interest will capitalize (i.e., become part of the principal). Repayment on the loans generally begins six months after graduation, or six months after the borrower ceases to be enrolled at least half-time. There is a origination fee (1.066% currently) on new Direct Stafford loans.
These loans are generally disbursed in two installments, half at the beginning of each semester. Funds disburse electronically and are posted to the student's account no sooner than just prior to the start of classes. Funds will be applied first to the outstanding account balance (tuition, housing, and other authorized charges) and the excess may be requested by the student for transfer to a linked bank account for eligible living expenses.
Repayments are made over a 10-year period, unless the borrower extends the repayment period to up to 25 years (based on total loan volume borrowed). Stafford loans may be included in a Federal Direct Consolidation Loan (which have a repayment period of up to 30 years) and are eligible for Income-Based Repayment, Public Service Loan Forgiveness and Georgetown Law's Loan Repayment Assistance Program.
There is a lifetime aggregate Stafford loan limit of $138,500.

ST. CHARLES – Building a wrestling program is made easier when the coach is in the building on a daily basis.
At long last, St. Charles North fits the bill.
On Wednesday, North announced Ben Hummel as its new wrestling coach, pending school board approval. Hummel, 31, will serve as the school's dean of students by day, providing for regular contact with athletes, a luxury not enjoyed by predecessors.
"That's just a big part of being part of the culture and recruiting kids and just building a solid foundation," Hummel said. "I think that's a real key just from the get-go."
Hummel spent the past seven years as a social studies teacher and assistant coach at Neuqua Valley. He wrestled in the middle of the lineup during his prep career at Castro Valley (Calif.) High and at Northwestern College, an NAIA school in Orange City, Iowa.
"I'm a big fan of just aggressive, offensive wrestling and try to teach the kids to score from every position and keep going to the very end," Hummel said.

Browns Offensive Coordinator Brad Childress Press Conference 10-4-12
(On what has to be done to maximize
(On how he would assess the offensive line with run blocking) – "If we're calling it and sometimes I haven't done a great job of calling it as much as I need to, it has been okay. I wouldn't say we've been overpowering, but then again that's driven by lack of calls."
(On if Brandon Weeden has done a good job of going through his progressions) – "I feel like he is. I feel like that's always, for a young quarterback, that's always getting to your two's and three's and backside number four's. That's always a work in progress. They know the system forward and backward, but yet being able to come off of one and get to three, it's easier said than done sometimes because that's where it starts. You'd hate it if all of a sudden they're snapping to three and they shortcut the read. I feel like he's getting there."
(On if dropped passes can be deflating to quarterbacks) – "It's deflating from the standpoint that those are drive-stoppers typically. It's like a zero gain when you think you have a plus play. I don't know if it deflates quarterbacks, but it's not a good thing. It can be deflating for your offense because you feel like you've got a call and you have an opportunity and it gives you an opportunity to progress in the drive."
(On if dropped passes affect his play calling during a game to avoid more drops) – "Not so much just from the standpoint that we're a progression scheme and you're always trying to call plays that attack (the) defense. You can't ever get in that mode and I don't think you can get in that mode as a quarterback either saying, 'Oh, I can't throw it to that guy.' That would entail short-cutting the read and doing something that we say we don't want to do. If that's the first kind of progression and you say you're not going to throw it to him and he's open then you've got issues. I've seen that become an issue before so you can't ever do that. You've got to stay true to the system."
(On what the correct way is for a quarterback to deal with dropped passes in terms of interaction with the receivers and if the quarterback should get on the receiver) – "Generally it's more encouraging than getting on. If they dropped it they dropped it in front of God and everybody so everybody knows. They don't feel particularly good about it, but usually it's an 'Atta boy' instead of a kick in the pants."
(On if he has seen that type of interaction with Brandon Weeden and his receivers) – "I see it all the time. I've seen it from the beginning of training camp and on. You see it with all of those guys back and forth. Our quarterbacks are pretty good about that, just like you don't like a wide receiver to show up a quarterback if the balls errant or it's inaccurate."
(On the challenges of heading into this game without several offensive players) – "I always say many hands make light work so it gives an opportunity to some other guys. We would love to have all the tools available to us. If we do, we do, if we don't, we don't. You prepare with the guys that are practicing today and tomorrow and the next day and then at the end you have a plan. I know the game is going to be played with the guys that we have."
(On if he feels that
(On if he has noticed any frustration in Trent Richardson not being able to get the rushing yards he is accustomed to) – "All those guys, whether it's receivers or running backs, they'd love the ball every single time. Unfortunately there's only one. The quarterback would love to throw it every time and the running back would like to carry it every time. I don't sense his frustration. Five yards a carry in this league would be pretty tall cotton. It would be pretty good. I think he understands that grinding some of those two's and three's and four's is good work and then you're going to get some of those six's and seven's and eight's. I don't sense a frustration only from the standpoint he'd like to do more and you kind of appreciate that attitude."
(On the New York Giants' defensive line) – "(Jason) Pierre-Paul, he's kind of a freaky guy. You've all seen the YouTube things of him doing back handsprings. He's a rare athlete for a man that big and it presents some special problems and he doesn't just rush from that end position. They kick him inside in the nickel and he rushes over the guard and center too. He has a long reach and matter of fact I was just watching the Super Bowl game and watched him back balls back at a 6'5" Tom Brady, so he presents some problems in the front. He can ruin a game if you're not in tuned to where he's at in a hurry. You have him and you have (Justin) Tuck on the other side. Like I said, all those guys, it's interesting because they all play all long the defensive front. It's not as if Pierre-Paul will only show up on the offenses left side. One snap he may be there, the next snap he and Tuck may have changed positions and then you're in nickel and all of a sudden he's inside rushing over a guard. All those guys play all along the front and I think that's the thing that makes them unique as well."
(On if he expected Josh Gordon to have a long adjustment period due to the lack of offseason activities) – "I don't know how long 'long' is relatively speaking, we're really in the beginning part of the season here. Different people's light comes on at different times. With what I said about yesterday's practice, we're interested to watch today come about and then stack some good plays back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back. It could be because he senses that he might have more of an opportunity."
(On what he saw in Josh Gordon yesterday that made him say it was his best practice) – "I didn't see any hesitation, I didn't see him thinking about anything. I saw him playing fast, catching the football, doing all of the things that you expect to see from a professional receiver."

The Bills moved the ball effectively on the Dolphins.
The Dolphins threw an interception on a questionable halfback pass call from the Bills' 2 yard line.
The Bills missed a 44-yard field goal.
So we have no points so far.

Ginger Chicken Soup with Jasmine Rice
Many Asian countries have a version of Chinese congee or Jook which to me can be a bit bland even with the preserved egg and Chinese donut that often is served alongside for breakfast. In Southeast Asia congee is kicked up a few notches with far more flavourful variations and condiments.
In Thailand, rice congee is known as "chok" and is often served as breakfast with a raw or partially-cooked egg added. Minced pork or beef, shrimp, or chicken is usually added, and the dish is usually topped with a small version of pathongko or garnish of slivered ginger, deep fried shallots, and cilantro. Chok is usually served with a variety of salty, pickled vegetables.
Chicken, pork, fish or shrimp can be cooked in with the soup which is flavoured with garlic, ginger, scallions, cilantro, fish sauce and/or Mountain Sauce. Spicy pickles or pickled radish are often used as a side condiment.
Chok is popular as a breakfast dish, but some places that specialize in congee sell it throughout the day. Variations in the meat and toppings are also frequently found. Some offerings include blood cubes and various offal ie. intestines, heart lung, liver, and heart, chopped up). This latter version is especially popular in Northeast Thailand, Isan and also in Laos where chile condiments are served for each diner to adjust the flavours. Nam Pla Phrik (chiles in fish sauce) or ground dried chiles are often offered.
Congee or Chok is a perfect comfort food and often served to those who are sick and the elderly. We often make Chok as a light evening meal as it is so comforting and light on the stomach.
Ginger Chicken Soup with Jasmine Rice
¾ cup Jasmine rice, rinsed
4 cups chicken stock
5 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled* (reserve 1 for slivers for garnish below)**
1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce (Nam Pla)
½ skinless, boneless poached chicken breast, sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups water
For Garnish:
2 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
1 Tablespoon slivered ginger**
Deep fried shallots (optional)
*Peel ginger by scraping with the back of the bowl of a spoon. Works so easy and you dont waste the ginger
In 3-4 quart stock pot add the rice to the 4 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender and porridge-like, about 25-30 minutes.
Cut the peeled piece of ginger into thin juliennes, then cut across to make dice size pieces.
Place skinless, boneless whole chicken breast in 2 cups water with half of the diced ginger. Add a pinch of salt and some white pepper. Poach chicken until no longer pink, about 15 minutes. Reserve the stock from poaching the chicken breast to add to the soup. Let chicken breast rest for 10 minutes, then cut down the middle and slice. Set aside to add to soup.
Add the chicken stock, fish sauce to the rice, bring to a simmer and continue cooking over low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the second half of the ginger and the chicken pieces and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes longer.
Ladle the soup into soup bowls, garnish with sliced scallions, chopped cilantro and slivered ginger and serve.
Variations of Congee in Southeast Asian countries:
Khao Chow or leftover jasmine rice is used to make Laotian congee with chicken called Kao Piak Kai. It is very much the same as in Thailand. They often add chiles fresh or dried for extra flavor.
In Cambodia, rice congee is called babaw and is eaten for breakfast. Plain congee is typically eaten with salted eggs, pickled vegetables, or dried fish. Chicken congee, pig's blood congee, and seafood congee are also commonly eaten.
In Vietnam, rice congee is called cháo. It is sometimes cooked with pandan leaves or Asian green beans. Sometimes toasted rice is added which gives a wonderful nutty flavour.
It is most commonly served as breakfast with pickled vegetables or fermented tofu. It is also popular as a lunch or dinner dish when cooked with a variety of meats. For example, Cháo gà is a variety of cháo cooked with chicken, garlic, and ginger, much as in Thailand.
"Cháo lòng heo" is made with "lòng heo" (a variety of pork entrails, including sliced cakes of congealed pork blood).
In Burma, rice congee is called san byohk: which means "rice boiled". It is very thin and plain, often made with just rice and water, but sometimes with chicken or pork stock and served with a simple garnish of chopped spring onions and crispy fried onions.

Here it is - this is it - an 11 x 11 foot section of dead grass (sorry/had to post another pic with it since one was too big and I couldn't get it smaller - and that house pic is where I'll be in NC :))
Anyway - this mystery square appeared over night one day last week. One day it wasn't there, and the next day it was. It's as if someone came here during the night, measured out 11 square feet, and then sprayed it with grass and weed killer. The grass is dead and brown and crunchy underfoot. There is a small area you can see toward the interior that was starting to green back up, but that was gone again when I looked at it this morning. There are no underground lines that could cause anything like this. There is an underground electric line that runs from the garage in the left of the picture to the house which is out of sight to the right, and a water line that runs from the well in the front yard to the pump house which you can see a portion of on the right side of the picture. The septic tank is about another 150 feet back from that area - anyway - if there was a problem with it - the grass would be super green and not dead. Many years ago (about 25 - 30) there used to be a shed in that general vicinity, but the ground hasn't been disturbed in any way, such as plowing up or turning under, in over 6 years when the garage was built. Nothing!!!
This was farmland for many, many years, and it was divided into 2, 5, and 10 acre parcels and sold off. My ex and I bought a 2 acre parcel when it went up for sale back in 1971, and I have been here since then. In that time, many strange and unexplained events have taken place here - nothing bad or harmful - but some have been just plain bizarre - and now I'm adding this mystery to that list. If I told you about some of them, you'd swear that I'm certifiable - seriously! :eek: We always jokingly said that before this was farmland, then it must have been sacred Indian burial grounds, or some horrific event took place on it. Since we have no idea what it was before it was used for farming, then I suppose anything is possible, and Delaware does have it's own native Indian tribes, so who knows?????
I don't think I can blame this mystery square to an alien spaceship landing there, since the side window in my bedroom faces that area, and I would have seen all those flashing and blinking lights - right?? :rolleyes::eek: And besides that - who ever heard of a square spaceship???? :p
My son and I are totally stumped on this one - and maybe even a wee bit spooked too. Does anyone who took the time to read this, have any ideas at all??? It is just so darned totally weird.......:eek:
