Darien loses at Avon in Class L basketball
AVON -- Not with a dagger, but a drought, the Darien dream season finally comes to a close.
No. 10 Avon bested No. 26 Darien 52-42 Monday night, advancing to the quarterfinals of the Class L tournament and ending the Blue Wave's year.
The Falcons (17-5) overcame a third quarter deficit with a late 22-6 run, spurred on by Nathan Laszewski, who finished with a team-high 16 points. Over that same span, Darien (11-11) endured a scoreless stretch lasting 5:55 to effectively seal its fate.
"We definitely rebounded in that third quarter, and I thought that kept fueling the run," Avon coach Chris Vozzolo said. "It got us a couple early ones in transition and that defensive rebounding was real important today."
Playing in its first state tournament since 1990, the Blue Wave posted only 17 points in the second half, three shy of its first quarter total. After intermission, the Falcons switched to a 2-3 zone, denying quality shot opportunities from the outside.
"We just got out of what we wanted to do offensively," Darien coach Kyle Marian said. "They just sat in that zone and it's something that we've struggled with all year."
Senior Blue Wave guard Matt Staubi collected a game-high 18 points, but only four came following halftime.
"We knew about Matt," Vozzolo said. "We knew he was a gamer, he was going to come after us and he was the heart and soul of that team. You know, we weren't going to come out here and say we're going to stop Matt Staubi. We want to contain him."
Making a concerted effort to feed 6-foot-10 center Chima Azuonwu in the early going, Darien raced out to a 14-4 lead at the end of the first quarter. With the Avon defense collapsing inside, four different Blue Wave players scored including Staubi, Azuonwu and forwards George Phillips and Ames Murray.
The Falcons battled back immediately with a pair of 3s in the opening minute of the second frame. Minutes later, Azuonwu picked up his second foul, which sent him to the bench for the remainder of the half. In his stead, Staubi hoisted 10 of Darien's 13 total shots in the frame. Simultaneously, Avon trimmed its deficit to a manageable six points.
From there, the Falcons pounded the interior and continued to garner fouls against Azuonwu. Justin Reichler gave Avon its first lead with under four minutes left in the third quarter, and then had a hand in getting the Darien big man to foul out at 4:15 remaining in the game. Senior forward Pat McKearney added 15 points for Avon, the majority of which came during its game-clinching run.
However, instead of a loss, Darien intends to view the game as tremendous progress for a team that won a combined 10 games over the past three seasons.
"I can't let this overshadow what we've accomplished. All that we've been through, what this program has been through, what some of these guys have been through," Marian said. "In 10 years, in 15 years, that's the stuff you hold dear. Not that we lost a game tonight.
"We can compete. This town can compete. We just need kids to buy in. Sometimes in life you've got to allow yourself to just go with something and see where it takes you and you'll be amazed."

Northwest Library
The Patience S. Latting Northwest Library opened on May 22, 2012 as the first new Metro Library location in more than 30 years. This 35,000 square foot library features imagery of the Oklahoma prairie including study areas housed in glass that resemble oil derricks. Wood-slat walls are reminiscent of the oilfield equipment crates that were historically used as temporary housing. Also unique are the outdoor patios for children and adults. Shelving end-panels feature scenes from the Oklahoma prairie such as wheat fields and windmills. Oklahoma-themed outdoor art sculptures include a 7' tall saurophaganax dinosaur, a 7' long collared lizard, a raccoon, and cowgirl Lucille Mulhall with her shelter dog, Wall-E. These whimsical sculptures by artist Solomon Bassoff of Faducci Studio are constructed of steel armature covered with hand sculpted cement and enhanced with applied Italian glass mosaic.
The Northwest Library has broad sustainability features that will allow it to become the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified public library built in Oklahoma. These LEED elements include a drip irrigation system, low-flow faucets/toilets to reduce water use, a geothermal heating and cooling system to reduce energy consumption, recycling bins for customers and staff, use of recycled and regionally sourced materials for construction, use of sustainably harvested wood, low-emitting finishes and day-lighting for interior spaces. The Northwest Library, located near NW 122nd and MacArthur, is easily accessible through its close proximity to both the Hefner Parkway and the Kilpatrick Turnpike.
Book drop location: Drive-up return on the south side of the building.

We have all had that moment when you look at the celebs and models in their bikinis and wonder how they always have such perfect skin. Well, contrary to popular belief, you don't need a miracle cream or a team of experts to help you get that perfect glowing skin. There are just a few quick and easy ways to treat your skin right so that you will have a stunning glow when you wear your sexy designer swimwear.
The first step to smoother and brighter skin is to exfoliate on a regular basis. We aren't just talking about your face either, your legs, arms and shoulders are important places to exfoliate in order to look your best in your sexy swimwear! Our favorite way to exfoliate is with a sugar scrub, and you will love the sweet smell it leaves on your skin. There are so many great products out there, but this is also one beauty product you can make yourself! Getting a little help from a spray or self tanner this fall? Don't forget to exfoliate before hand, you will get a much more even and streak-free color! If you remember this step you are sure to have super smooth skin for the beach in your luxury designer swimwear.
This one should be a no brainer, but we all know this step gets skipped when we are in a rush to get to the beach! Moisturizing is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get soft glowing skin. Especially as we move into fall, moisturizing is important to prolong that summer tan and keep your skin from drying out. As soon as you get out of the shower (after exfoliating of course!) you should apply moisturizer all over, but focus on any areas where your skin gets the most dry like your elbows and knees. The result should be soft and silky glowing skin that makes your sexy bikini skin look even better! Don't forget to shop the new Lady Lux collection for stunning swimwear syles that will look perfect with your fabulous summer skin!

Here are couple of photos I took from 30/9 protest at Tahrir square. I could not post them tomorrow because I was and am still so tired. Currently I am uploading them on patches.
I am working on the video clips I shot also at the protest, they are not so many like other protests
We have to be honest with ourselves and understand that people are no longer believe in protesting at Tahrir square despite they believe in the revolution and its goals. Please do not preach me about the quantity and quality difference and how the protest was great despite its small number because we are now speaking to ourselves and alienating ourselves more and more from the public. Big numbers actually make the difference whether you like it or not , you want a proof check the real January 28th protests or the real and true million man protests in the past and what followed it from decisions.
I know some will not accept what I am saying but it is better to say then to come in the future and blame on ourselves that we did not speak and tried to correct our mistakes.
By the way when I was at the square yesterday I met some people who did not come to protest for political reasons or general social reason but for their personal problems because on Friday there are media people in Tahrir square whom they complain to. Egyptians are really tired and they need someone to hear their complaints.

Ya know what? I've been writing this sex advice column for pert-near 10 years. That means that I've covered a whole lot of ground in that time. I've answered a shit-load of questions about lots of sex related things.For your convenience (and to save my fingers from being gnawed down to the bone by this blasted keyboard), I've taken the time to categorize all my posting and podcasts, so you can find the information you're looking for quickly and easily. That's right, I've done most of the work for you. All you have to do is click your mouse on the right spot.
Say you're curious about a particular topic, or you have a question about a particular issue. Probably I've already covered it. I suggest you let your eyes wander on over to the CATEGORIES section just to your right. You'll find a wealth of information on a big load of common concerns.Say you want some tips on how to give a great blowjob, like Janet below. All you'd need to do is look for "Blow Job" in the category section, click on that and presto! You'll find just about everything I've ever had to say about the topic in both written and podcast form.
Here's a tip: the little number following the category represents the number of times this topic has come…so to speak.Want to know how come your dick curves, and if the curve will make a difference when it's time for you to bone a partner, like Slater below? Look for "Cock Shape" in the category section and you'll find what you are looking for. It simply couldn't be easier, or more entertaining!
Are you guys gettin the hang of this? I sure hope so. Because there is just so much I can say about some topics. And when I've said all I can say, I'll say no more. Your resourcefulness will also save me the time and effort to direct your attention to the CATEGORIES section when you write, like I do with most of my correspondents today.
Name: Janet
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Location: Reno, Nevada
I've never performed oral sex on a man before and now I am with a new man and he sometimes hints that he would like me to go down on him. But I'm scared to do so because I don't really know what to do or if I'll be doing it right and I'm scared that he might laugh or something. Can you please give me some advice for a first timer on oral sex??
Janet, darlin', you are totally in luck. Ol' dr dick has squandered many an hour composing witty postings and charming podcasts on this very topic. Check it out. Look over to your right. See the CATEGORY section? Look for the term "Blow Job" and "Fellatio" in the category section. Got it? GREAT! Click on one or both of those, and you'll find just about every word I've written in the last several years about this scrumptious topic.
Or you can cut to the chase and read my Sexual Enrichment Tutorial: So Ya Wanna Be A World-Class Cocksucker.Either way, you'll be smokin' yourself some fine pole, like a real champion, in no time at all.

Gender: Male
Age: 20
Location: asia
I am a 20-year-old male. Whenever my penis erects it bents towards left. However I don't feel any pain. I have noticed this only from a year ago. Will this affect my sex life?
Slater my friend; if I've heard this question once, I've heard it a thousand times. Most of us men folks have some kind of curve to our precious banger. And most of the time it's just a natural variation on the shape of a cock. Rarely does it have any negative impact on our sex life. In fact, some folks really dig a little curve.
However, maybe you want to know more. Well to satisfy your craving for further information, I invite you to look to your right, find the CATEGORY section and look for the term: "Cock Shape." You'll notice that I've written and spoken about this very concern several times.
Besides cock curvature, you'll learn about other cock related issues, like hypospadias, auto-fellatio and circumcision, just to name a few. And each of those topics have their own category too. So you can educate yourself in every widening circles. How fun is that?

Gender: Male
Age: 41

I find it takes me for ever to jack off even watching videos it can take 40 minutes an when I do shoot it is only a small amount.
You don't say, Alan! I've never heard that question before. No wait, that's baloney. I've heard it before and written extensively about this very thing. Look to your right. See the CATEGORY section? EXCELLENT!
Now search for the terms: "Ejaculate" and "Ejaculation Concerns" and "Cum." Among these categories you will find all the answers you are looking for.
Here's a tip: you'll also want to check out what I've had to say about "Kegels." You're gonna want to know all about these handy-dandy exercises to tone up your PC muscle. Both men and women need to attend to their PC muscle, don't 'cha know. Not sure what the fuck I'm talking about. Not to worry. You have some fun reading and listening ahead of you.

Age: 24

How frequently a person can masturbate? Can it be daily?
You betcha, Kartick! You can choke the chicken every day if ya want. Hell, some guys do it several times a day. Can ya stand it?
But here's a tip: if you don't know the difference between jerkin' off and full body masturbation, you have some work ahead of you, my friend. Take the time to acquaint yourself with the benefits of each technique.
Has this peaked your interest? I hope so. Check out the CATEGORY section to your right and search for "Masturbation." You'll also find some very important information concerning the connection between masturbation and prostate cancer too. There's a wealth of information just waiting for your eager eyes and ears.

I have about a one-inch overhang of foreskin when I'm limp. And when I have a boner my foreskin still covers my cock completely. Even when I skin myself back my foreskin slips back over my cock head unless I hold it back. Do women want me to skin myself back or do they want my foreskin covering my cock before I insert my 8 incher into their pussy? I feel self-conscious about skinning myself back and holding my foreskin back
I love your moxy, mister. "…before I insert my 8 incher into their pussy?" Indeed! How you do go on! You make me blush! But I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess that you have yet to dip your wick into any fine pussy…I mean besides the imaginary pussy in your head. Am I right? I thought so.
Here's the thing about chicks. They don't all share the same tastes about everything. I know, who would have guessed?
So when you say things like: "Do women want me to skin myself back or do they want my foreskin covering my cock…" basically you're tellin' me you think all these pussy-owin' creatures are alike. You're gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble with that kind of unenlightened mindset . Not to mention you're never gonna get yourself laid that way, pup.
The womens, at least the ones that grove on men, seem to have less of an interest in what your unit looks like, let alone its size; then they do with you knowing how to use the blasted thing to pleasure them. Consider for a moment that a whole lot of women have never seen an uncut willie. Others have never seen the cut variety. If you want to know how your perspective partner wants your throbbing 8-incher, all you have to do is ask, don't cha know. Probably they'll even interpret your asking as a gentlemanly gesture. And that, sir, is how you'll get yourself laid.

ever since i was a teen i have had the hots for my dad. i would walk into the bathroom on him, or his room to see him naked and to see his dick. i use to love catching him jack off. i loved to see him in his boxers, and would jack off in his boxers. i even would play with him when he was a sleep get him hard and jack myself off. i thought i was over this till he stayed with me over the weekend. he came out of the bathroom in just his boxers. i was only wearing my boxers also. i became hard and excited. the old thought of playing with his cock came back. that night i went into the guest room took out his penis from his boxers and played with it. till it was erect. i then took a pair of his boxers and jacked off in them. i am 41 now should i have out grown this attraction to my dad?? he knows i am gay, we have talked several times about my playing with him but should this attraction continue??
— lost and confused in dads boxers
This is precious, TJ. You've been fondlin' and jerkin' off you old man for years, albeit while he "sleeps." (Say, he's one hell of a deep sleeper, huh?) He knows all about you, your attraction to him and your late night play sessions with his cock and underwear. But he still comes for a visit. And predictably, you set upon him again in his sleep. How may more incredible things could you possibly include to a single paragraph?
And all you want to know is, if it is odd that you continue to behave like this with the guy who spawned you, now that you're 41 years old. Odd? Yeah, I'll say it's odd! AMAZINGLY odd!
Where to begin? Oh skip it! If you and your dad (now somewhere in his 60's, I assume.) are still playing at this little game, it must be pretty harmless by this time.
Your behavior and attraction continue because you feed it, darling. And so does your old man! No big mystery there.
Good luck ya'll

Latest Guild marriage challenges
Brighton Registration District
- 1840 St Nicholas, Brighton: Edmund Cruse, labourer, son of Samuel Cruse, grocer, and Ellen Lock, daughter of Luke Lock, hairdresser (I have established from the censuses that Edmund was born c. 1819 in Brighton but I cannot yet link him into any of the existing Cruse trees.)
- 1849 St Nicholas, Brighton: Jane Cruse, daughter of Samuel Cruse, grocer, and Charles William Galliers, tailor, son of John Galliers, servant
- 1855 St Nicholas, Brighton: Mary Cruyes, daughter of Joseph Cruyes, shoemaker, and Richard Hallett, carpenter, son of Richard Hallett, carpenter

Bowie Kent Kuhn
Fifth Commissioner of Baseball
Bowie K. Kuhn was elected baseball's fifth Commissioner by a unanimous vote of the 24 club owners on February 4, 1969. His 15 year tenure as Commissioner is second in longevity to Kenesaw Mountain Landis' 23 years.
Kuhn was born in Takoma Park, MD, a suburb of Washington, DC, on October 28, 1926, and passed away on March 15, 2007. He grew up in the nation's capital, graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School, and then attended Franklin and Marshall College in the Naval V-12 Officer Training Program before going to Princeton University in 1945. He was graduated from Princeton with honors in 1947 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. He received his law degree in 1950 from the University of Virginia where he served on the editorial board of the law review.
Following his graduation from law school, Kuhn became a member of the New York law firm Wilkie, Farr and Gallagher, chosen because it represented the National League. He spent the next 19 years working in baseball's legal affairs and was counsel to the NL in the lawsuit brought against it by the City of Milwaukee when the Braves moved to Atlanta. He also served as counsel for negotiations between the Major League Players Association and the club owners.
When General William Eckert left the Commissionership, the team owners decided that baseball's next Commissioner should be familiar with baseball - the business, the game and the people. The race came down to two candidates, Mike Burke, president of the New York Yankees and National League President Chub Feeney. The ballots were split along league lines. During the impasse, Kuhn was mentioned as a possible candidate and the response was overwhelming in his favor. He was elected by unanimous vote on the first ballot.
In less than one month, Kuhn had helped solve the biggest issue facing baseball by negotiating a new three-year contract between the owners and the Players Association. The settlement came after more than 40 negotiating sessions and prevented what could have been baseball's first strike.
Kuhn presided over a tumultuous time in baseball. Among the notable events was the Curt Flood reserve case of 1970. Flood was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to the Phillies, but refused to report to his new team. Instead, the outfielder initiated legal action against baseball, challenging the legality of the reserve clause and the right of clubs to trade players at will. Ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the lower courts decisions in favor of baseball, ruling that federal antitrust laws did not apply to the game.

Commissioners home
In 1975, players were granted the right to free agency for the first time. In the Messersmith-McNally case, arbitrator Peter Seitz ruled that players were free to negotiate with any club after the option year of their contracts expired. After several bargaining sessions, the players and owners agreed to the current modification that grants players the right to free agency after six years in the majors.
In 1976, Kuhn was also involved in a lawsuit with Oakland Athletics' owner Charles O. Finley, who wanted to sell three of his players for $3.5 million. Kuhn blocked the move claiming it was "not in the best interests of baseball," and Finley sued. Kuhn prevailed in court, a decision that reaffirmed the powers of the Commissioner.
Under Kuhn, the major leagues endured a 57-day players' strike in 1981. Also during his tenure Major League Baseball grew from 20 to 26 teams and attendance increased from 23 million fans in 1968 to 45.5 million in 1983.
Kuhn left office on September 30, 1984.

After playing three rounds of Logan Cup matches, with each franchise playing 12 First Class games, the 2009/2010 season final was played over five days (30 March to 3 April 2010) between the top 2 teams on the log Mash Eagles and Mid West Rhinos.
After looking like a dull draw for the last two days, the final unexpectedly sprang to life on the final day, as Mid West Rhinos came close to pulling off what would have been an incredible victory. The miracle did not quite happen, but the day belonged to the underdogs from start to finish.
Firstly superb batting by Rikki Wessels and Graeme Cremer enabled them to declare their second innings closed, and then, due to good bowling and fielding and some very poor batting by Mash Eagles top order, they broke through and had the newly crowned champions struggling to save the match to the very end. In the end only the fighting spirit and skill of Forster Mutizwa and Mark Mbofana saw them through to safety at 67 for six wickets.
The game ended in a draw and Mash Eagles were crowned the 2009/2010 Logan Cup Champions.
In the following season however, Mash Eagles and Mid West Rhinos failed to make a repeat performance in this flagship tournament.
The 2010/2011 season Castle Logan Cup final held in April 2011, saw instead Mountaineers and Matabeleland Tuskers (formerly holders of third and fourth positions in the log) compete in the final.
Depleted, without five of their key players, Tuskers beat the previously undefeated Mountaineers by 18 runs, a remarkable achievement. The key factor was their swing bowler Keegan Meth, who has been steadily improving throughout the season and now seems to have instilled fear into the hearts of opposing batsmen with his deceptive swerve and accuracy. In this match he took 13 wickets at a cost of only 108 runs, besides playing a second innings of 65 runs, and if ever one man won a match for this team, this was the occasion.
Matabeleland Tuskers are the new Logan Cup champions.

Fast food just got a little less speedy due to more complex menus, according to a drive-thru performance study released Monday.
The average speed at the seven chains reviewed -- national leaders Burger King (BKW), Chick-fil-A, McDonald's (MCD), Yum Brands' Taco Bell (YUM), Wendy's (WEN), and smaller regional chains Krystal and Taco John's -- rose to just more than three minutes, which amounts to eight seconds longer than a year ago, according to QSR magazine and Insula Research.
In this year's ranking, Wendy's held on to its claim as the speediest chain, while Krystal customers twiddled their thumbs in the drive-thru line for an industry-worst average of 217.89 seconds each. Chick-Fil-A was second worst, with average wait times of 203.88 seconds. McDonald's posted its slowest showing in the history of the 15-year-old study, while rival chain Burger King was the only company to speed things up.
"Driving this increase in speed of service time is these more complex menu items," said Sam Oches, the editor of QSR, which covers quick-service and fast-casual restaurants. "Consumers are demanding more fresh, upscale menu items from fast-food restaurants and as these chains are answering that demand, the new menu items take a little more time to assemble."
(Read more: Secret's out! Hidden restaurant menu items)
Added complexity from items such as McDonald's Premium McWrap or Taco Bell's Cantina Bell menu means new operational procedures and additional ingredients, which translate to a more complicated assembly line.
Compounding this problem is a busier drive-thru line. The average number of vehicles in line rose 9 percent this year to 2.82 cars. Chick-fil-A had the longest average line at about six cars while the Taco John's line was about a fifth of that.
The annual survey armed researchers with stopwatches and clipboards and sent them through drive-thrus at the nation's top quick-service restaurants. The researchers then visited hundreds of restaurant units to gather data on more than 1,800 service times during the lunch and dinner rush hours while ordering a main item, side and beverage.
(Read more: McDonald's shakes up value menu)
The study critiqued six "benchmark chains" and one regional chain, on several factors, including service time, order accuracy, landscaping condition and customer service.
To crack down on longer lines, some chains are testing mobile ordering systems and reconfiguring the drive-thru into dual lanes.
Although Wendy's quick drive-thru clocked in at 133 seconds, it's a far cry from its low of 116 seconds in 2003.
That's around the time when speed peaked, according to QSR.
"Probably the reason they were fast back then, at that time the consumer demand hadn't yet turned to more premium items," Oches said. "Back then, the focus was mainly on speed."

Sheriff's Dept. Charges Man With No Drugs With 'Intent To Distribute Counterfeit Controlled Substances'
from the if-you-don't-like-punishment,-don't-not-break-the-rules dept
Live a clean life and the cops should leave you alone, right? RIGHT?!? Harvey Silverglate wasn't being facetious when he wrote "Three Felonies A Day." There are all sorts of laws waiting to be broken, laws that boggle the mind in their insipidity.
As we covered recently, the FBI arrested one of its own handcrafted "terrorists" for "conspiring" to materially aid a terrorist organization. This "conspiring" apparently took the form of the suspect talking about possibly joining a terrorist group and, with undercover agents' urging, traveling to Canada to fill out some sort of terrorist job application. He was arrested at the border, having really done nothing more than talk big and wear the "rube" label really well.
More recently, Techdirt covered Judge Otis Wright's beration of the ATF for setting up stooges to pull off a fake crime -- a conspiracy to rob a "stash house." Of course, the stash house didn't exist, but this didn't stop the government from bringing criminal charges against the "criminals" and seeking sentences based on the entirely fictional contents of the fictional house. The ATF told its stooges that the house contained 20-25 kilos of coke in the house. Judge Wright asked why not just say 10, or 100 or 1,000, as long as the government's just making up numbers? No crime here because said "stash house" simply didn't exist and yet, people were arrested and put on trial.
Here's another case of no criminal activity somehow turning into a crime in the hands of zealous law enforcement officers who apparently couldn't handle not getting the drug bust they were obviously seeking. (via Reason)
Deputies said they stopped Delbert Dewayne Galbreath at NW 10th Street and Interstate 44 for a broken brake light. The deputy said Galbreath admitted he did not have a license to drive. Two deputies asked to search his car and he agreed.Read that again: a man was arrested for not possessing drugs. Note the oddly specific denial. The man said they were "Scentsy." This doesn't sound like someone just blurting out the first thing that came to mind when deputies searched his vehicle.
A deputy found a cigarette pouch that had 16 pieces of a rock-like form, which authorities generally associate as crack cocaine. The deputies said they also found a digital scale.
Authorities tested the rocks and said they did not contain cocaine. When they asked Galbreath what the rocks were, he said they were Scentsy.
Galbreath was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to distribute imitation controlled dangerous substance (CDS), possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under a revoked license and defective equipment.
If you're not familiar with Scentsy, it's a direct marketing company that specializes in "wickless candles," which are scented wax cubes that are warmed on its proprietary warmers. (All images taken from Scentsy's catalog unless otherwise noted)
Here's how the process works.
Here's a shot of a couple of Scentsy cubes sitting in a warmer with a vaguely scale-like shape.
Here's some more scale-esque warmers Scentsy offers.
And here's another scale-like warmer that's included in every Scentsy starter kit.
And here's some vaguely crack-colored wax sitting in a Scentsy warmer.
And for comparison's sake, here's a DEA file photo of crack cocaine.
So, this seems like an entirely plausible explanation. The plausibility factor shoots way up when you factor in the negative test results. But rather than investigate whether Galbreath's claims were accurate after the "NOT COCAINE" determination, the deputies ran with their original plan: nail Galbreath for drug dealing. Instead of dealing drugs, Galbreath was trying to sell fake drugs, which is completely indistinguishable from actual criminal activity when you're sitting in a jail cell.
Maybe the Sheriff's Dept. is hoping to sweat out some more info from the jailed "dealer," like who his pissed off customers are or who's further up the chain supplying him with fake drugs and taking a percentage of each sale he makes. (My hunch? A regional director in Oklahoma as well as any number of intermediaries along the direct marketing food chain.)
"Don't do the crime if you can't do the time," they say. But they somehow fail to add, "Don't NOT do the crime if you can't do the time," because everyday citizens like you and me might find that statement baffling, horrifying and complete bullshit.

Napapijri Jackets
What makes the brand unique?
The Norway-flag logo of Napapijri means dependability and quality all around the world. Inspired by the gear of arctic explorers, Italian designer Giuliana Rosset established the brand to produce sturdy ski and adventure gear at an affordable price. From its inception in the nineties, the rise of Napapijri jackets and other apparel is unstoppable, making it one of the hottest and coolest brands on the market at the same time. Withstanding exterior and the softest lining typifies their clothing, designed to correspond to the latest fashion trends.
The melting of the polar ice caps is one of the greatest environmental problems of the world right now, and Napapijri regards helping to solve this problem as its moral duty. The brand supports and sponsors numerous organisations and individuals who share their enthusiasm towards the future of the planet.
Napapijri jackets – lasting quality
There are no excessive words to describe the importance of a well-chosen jacket. An investment for at least a decade, it can help to keep the winter depression away, especially if members of the other gender smile at you in coincident appreciation of your outfit. Napapijri jackets are rugged but neat and jauntily classy. No better proof needed concerning the quality of them than Sebastian Copeland, and award-winning photographer, environmental activist and arctic explorer, who wears Napapijri jackets for his travels, where he encounters temperatures well under -50 °C (-58.5 °F). In brief, if you want to acquire a jacket that is not only sightly but also enduring and comfortable, opt for a Napapijri and we promise you won't be displeased.
Who should you choose the Napapijri jackets?
Besides special events such as weddings, funerals or going to the theater, these jackets provide you with warmth in a subtle way for every occasion. Going to work on a rainy day or on a boat trip with friends on weekends require two completely different raiment, except for the jacket, which fulfills the requirements for both expeditions with ease. It's for his very reason that a carefully chosen jacket is not only a piece of clothing – it's a compeer.

Wellington fiber artist Sandra J. Hopkins grew up in New York state and in Pennsylvania.
In preschool, her instructor commented on her use of detail, but Hopkins cannot remember the specifics of just what this art looked like.
In college, she took art classes and after moving to Vancouver, Canada, started sewing using reclaimed fabric. Through trial and error, she developed a technique where she could create a work of art in fabric.
Her first piece was the Nativity Star, and this is when her technique really clicked. It was the type of art she had been looking for all along.
The process starts with a backing, then Hopkins searches among pieces of fabric for the right color and texture to create an image.
The fabric is cut into tiny pieces, and the work of art is built up in layers. Tulle (fine fabric netting) is used to hold the pieces in place followed by quilting the all of the fabric and tulle together.
The stitches in the quilting are as much a part of the art as the fabric. The stitches emphasize shapes and create textures. The tulle is also part of the process and can be purchased in a variety of colors thus giving the piece a subtitle hue.
Hopkins gets her inspiration from Colorado — its mountains, sunsets, wildlife and the relationship people have with the land.
She climbs 14,000 foot peaks, returning home inspired by what she saw.
"Our surroundings teach us ways to work with the land, a didactic relationship," Hopkins comments. She continues, "The geography of the area frames us in ways that we look at each other. I see myself in this context."
Hopkins' website is sandrajhopkins.com.

Today's Kotaku pumpkin patch includes the Godfather, Batman, the Spy from Team Fortress 2 and the World Ends With You. Cheers to Chris Wells, Lee Harris, Kevin "ShadesBot" Moore and Chae Wells!
Some of you keep starting your pumpkin emails with "Mine's terrible, but..." Seriously, guys, it doesn't matter. You want to see how bad my pumpkin skillz are? Check out the last image. It's supposed to be Bubs from Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (which is really just a Bubs stencil from Homestarrunner.com) — but it kind of looks like a retarded Popple. Or Gary Busey, depending on whether or not it's lit up.
So, don't be shy! Send me your gaming pumpkins!

Amanuensis Monday is a blog theme started by John Newmark on his blog Transylvanian Dutch, in which he is transcribing letters, newspaper articles, audio tapes, and a war diary etc., concerning his family.
John explains Amanuensis as "a person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another".
Today I am showing what I thought was the Will of James James dated 1808 which I have had for a few years, but it wasn't until I was actually transcribing it today that I realised that it is an extract and really concerns the Probate for his Will.
The reason I am featuring James James is because two or three weeks ago, for Tombstone Tuesday I featured his wife Catharine James (nee Read – the granddaughter of my 6 x great grandfather Cozens Read), and the week after her Tombstone Tuesday I showed the stone for James James.
But, since then, only in the last couple of days, I have found another "new" cousin. Cousin Irvine is descended through the James line and has kindly allowed me to also show here a photograph of Robert Joseph James, but more about that after the transcription!
Extract from the Will of James James
Transcript of Will Extract for James James dated 1808
Extracted from the Registry of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury
In the Will of James James late of Aylesbury in the County of Bucks – Gentleman deceased dated 22nd June 1808 is as follows
And I hereby nominate constitute and appoint them my said Wife Elizabeth James and my said Brother John James and the said William Rickford joint Executors of this my last Will and Testament
Proved at London 6th June 1809 before the Worshipful Charles Cook Dr. of Laws and Surrogate by the Oath of John James Esq. the Brother and one of the Executors to whom Admon was granted being first sworn duly to administer power reserved to Elizabeth James Widow the Relict and William Rickford the other Executors
Proved at London 12th May 1826 before the Judge by the Oath of Elizabeth James Widow the Relict one of the surviving Executors to whom Admon was granted being first sworn by …? duly to administer Power reserved to William Rickford Esquire the other surviving Executor.
On the 22nd June 1830 Admon with the Will annexed of the Goods Chattels and Credits of James James late of Aylesbury in the County of Bucks and a Lieutenant on half pay in Her Majestys Service Marine Forces dec'd left unadministered by Elizabeth James Widow the Relict one of the Executors and one of the residuary Legatees In trust and the beneficial residuary Legatee for life and John James Esq the Brother and one other of the Executors and one other of the residuary Legatees In Trust named in the said Will both since deceased was granted to James James the Son and one other of the residuary Legatees substituted in the said Will being first sworn duly to administer William Rickford Esq the other and surviving Executor and surviving residuary Legatee In Trust named in the said Will having first anounced the Probate and execution of the said Will and also the Letters of Admon with the said Will annexed of the Goods of the said deceased

The photo is of Robert Joseph James (1841 – 1925) and he is the great grandson of the above James James and his wife Catharine (nee Read), which makes Robert the 3 x great grandson of Cozens Read.
Robert Joseph James (1841 – 1925)
I'm just so pleased to see this photo and as I told Cousin Irvine, I'm pretty sure Robert Joseph James has some of the Read looks in him!

See what I did there? I turned the whole thing around. Keep an eye out for that sort of thing if you're new to the blog, there's plenty more where that came from.
But yes, um, quite a lot of people, past whom me and Green Wing Richard were whisked, to stand at the front* and be coronated with little plastic passes by the PR team. It was very like the end bit of the Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, except with Mark Heap mouthing 'wanker' at me. And then when I barged in front of a paying fan to get a script signed for charity, Julian Rhind-Tutt pointed at me and said 'Look, a nutter jumping in! He is from Nuttsville, I'll be bound!'. This was actually quite dangerous, as heavy security guards had already decided they didn't like me, and behind me were ONE MILLION rabid Mac fans who would happily have torn me limb from limb at the merest gesture from their ginger love god.
Originally uploaded by jamesandthebluecat.
Anyway, the paying fans didn't mind me jumping in, which was good, and Television's Doctor Mac then took pity on me and told them that I was a writer, and one fan also took pity on me and asked me to sign her DVD, so I did, which felt brilliant, and I was insufferable for the rest of the evening.
My favourite bit was when Stephen Mangan stood up, generating an unearthly high-pitched wailing chorus from the queueing fangirls**, which then turned into a disappointed rumbling moan when he sat down again. However Stephen is very modest, so he probably just thought there was something wrong with his chair.
And then I got back and watched the making-of documentary on the DVD, to discover that the stuff I had done and had been told would be in it was in fact not in it, but that the very short bit that had supposedly been taken out because I was making fun of the actors was in fact in. Showbusiness is a funny old contrary old business and no mistake crikey blimey.
* Where I took loads of photos of the actors, as my turning up had coincided with the official press photo moment thing opportunity, and as all photographers are pale Cockneys whose growth has been stunted by years of living on jellied eels and silver buttons, I was able to stand behind them and snap over the tops of their pasty heads quite happily. Sadly all the photos but one came out blurred, I suspect because my hands were trembling with rage and jealousy, but there we are.
** I'm worried this looks a bit patronising, so from now on I shall refer to all Steve Appreciators as 'The Manganettes'.

Hi all,
It was a great summer for us here at TSF. We had a blast at the Farmers Classic in LA and ended things with a bang at the Open. It's left us in need of a big nap. Maybe a couple weeks? We're not quite sure. But in any case, thank you for continuously reading and supporting what we do. We hope to — no, we will — be doing more of it in the not-too-distant future.

Under pressure from visiting US Mideast envoy George Mitchell, Israeli cabinet ministers mulled easing a siege on the Gaza Strip that was designed to weaken Hamas.
Amid US-Israeli disagreement over the Gaza blockade, West Bank settlements, and other issues involved in restarting the peace process, there is one point both sides agree on: The promises to boost the Palestinian economy during the recent round of talks stretching the final year of the Bush administration have produced insufficient results.
Hampered by Israel's economic blockade of Gaza and its restrictions on movement within the West Bank, the Palestinian economy appears to have little life of its own. While donor aid is playing a crucial role in sustaining Palestinians, the business sector – and the initiative, innovation, and enterprise that make it the chief engine of any successful economy – has been stifled.
"As a result of the Israeli security regime, the Palestinian economy has hollowed out, with the productive sectors declining and the public sector growing, as more of the population looks to the public sector for employment and assistance in coping with the impact of unemployment," said a World Bank report released last week.
Public-sector salaries account for 22 percent of the economy, while donor aid represents a full one-third. In a recent report, the World Bank said that $2.8 billion is needed in 2009.
"All of the donor aid money at best can be a Band-Aid solution to a hemorrhaging patient," says Sam Bahour, a Palestinian American technology entrepreneur. "Damage continues to be done. The private sector is like a compressed spring waiting to be let go."
'The siege has killed all prospects'
When Abdel-Ghani Abdeen began manufacturing plastic sewage pipes after the 1993 Oslo accords, he invested based on the optimism driven by the peace process. But after the breakdown of talks in 2000, and the Israeli blockade of Gaza after Hamas wrested control of the tiny coastal strip in 2007, his business has only been getting worse.
"The siege has killed all prospects," says Mr. Abdeen, chairman of the Abdeen Group. "Gaza was 30 to 40 percent of our business."
Israel and the US focused on promoting development in the West Bank to prop up the government of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Even Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has emphasized the need to promote an "economic peace" by building joint industrial zones to sap the motivation of – and support for – militants.
Israeli measures taken under the 2007 Annapolis initiative to ease movement in the West Bank have had only a "marginal" effect on the economy, said the World Bank report. It also warned that the Palestinian economy won't be a viable one if Gaza remains cut off.
It's an open question how much Mr. Netanyahu is willing to push Israeli security authorities to relax restrictions. Under pressure from Mr. Mitchell, Netanyahu's security cabinet met Wednesday to discuss a possible easing of the Gaza blockade, which was designed to undermine Hamas.
Ray of hope in Ramallah housing project
Palestinian entrepreneurs such as Abdeen, hobbled at home, are looking to expand in other countries. The number of industrial businesses in Gaza, for example, has dropped from 3,900 from before Israel's 2005 withdrawal to 200 at the end of last year. Unemployment stands at 26 percent. Trade is virtually nonexistent.
"There's no trade. It's risky and dangerous because only the banks do business," says Jamal Hadad, a business adviser at the Palestine Investment Fund (PIF), an $850 million investment vehicle of the Palestinian Authority.
A pair of Palestinian investment conferences last year have failed to translate into infusions of foreign capital. The World Bank said that a series of projects aimed at kick-starting the economy – promoted by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, an envoy for the Quartet (a four-nation team spearheading peace efforts) – have failed to take off. One of the projects, establishing a new Palestinian cellular carrier, is frozen because Israel has yet to release the telecommunication frequencies.
Meanwhile $4.5 billion in reconstruction aid promised after the January war between Hamas and Israel has been held up over concerns that the money could be funneled into Hamas hands and help shore up the militant group.
In 2008, the Palestinian economy grew at a rate of 2 percent, a respectable pace given the economic crisis.
Indeed, the Palestinian economy remained relatively stable compared with those of the rest of the world because it's largely cut off from it.
"We are a drop in the sea," said Mohammed Amin, the chairman of the Ramallah district Chamber of Commerce. "We don't have billions of dollars in foreign investment that others have."
Still, Mr. Hadad, the business adviser, remains optimistic. PIF is gearing up to lay the cornerstone on a 2,000-unit housing project in the Ramallah region that could bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in investment. But the economy won't reach its full potential unless Israel and the Palestinians free up trade from the West Bank and Gaza, he said.
"We need to trade like any other country," he said. "I'm not talking about politics."

Are you craving cucumber? Salivating over spinach? Aching for asparagus?
Then Daniel Hoffmann is the man for you.
Hoffmann, 35, is a social worker and organic farmer who established The Cutting Veg (TCV), a community health promotion enterprise with a focus on organic farming.
"[The Cutting Veg] cultivates personal, social, environmental and economic health through organic agriculture. We're really trying to impact the community in a variety of positive ways," he said.
One of the ways Hoffmann is doing this is with The Cutting Veg's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. In the program, founded in 2008, people become members in the farm for a season, giving them access to a weekly share of the harvest, all grown at TCV's farm in Brampton, Ont.
A regular share costs $27 a week and a large share is $37. The produce changes depending on what's in season, and consists of veggies and fruit that were harvested that day. The program runs from June to the end of October each year.
Produce pickup locations include the Pri Adamah CSA at Temple Sinai; the Holy Sprouts CSA at Holy Blossom Temple and the Kavanah Garden CSA on Lebovic Campus Drive, near Bathurst Street and Rutherford Road.
"[The produce] is whatever's in season. So, in spring, you're getting the cool weather crops, things like peas and green onions and swiss chard and kale. As the summer comes, you get into the heat lovers, the tomatoes and corn and cucumbers and zucchini and peppers and eggplants. And then when the fall comes, that's when you move back into the cool weather crops."
Jewish CSAs are pretty common, Hoffmann said, with more than 60 in North America and four in Toronto. The impact they have on people, he added, is significant.
"I'm really proud of how we've been able to touch people's lives, whether it's through the CSAs, where their quality of life is improved through having a relationship with the farm and making eating locally and organically more part of their daily lives, or by coming out to the farm and participating in the growing process," he said, referring to TCV's interns and volunteers.
Hoffmann, who has been farming since 2000, started doing it because he wanted to grow his own food.
"When I was doing my degree in social work, I realized that if I wanted to make a difference in the world, the best way to start was with myself. I needed to be the healthiest person I could be," he said.
"Part of being the healthiest person I could be is to be self-reliant and selfsustaining."
Hoffmann enjoyed growing his own food so much that he decided to make a career of it. He also feels good knowing that he is making a positive impact on the local community.
"I'm really driven to participate in tikkun olam, or repairing of the world. From my professional life, I wanted to be part of something that was really healthy at its roots. Having an organic farm really does cultivate health in the community.
"For me, being Jewish is largely participating in tikkun olam. So if I can connect Jewish folks with simple ways to have a healthy relationship with food and thus enrich their quality of life while making a difference in the world, that's really meaningful for me."
Altogether, The Cutting Veg has four different community programs.
There's the organic produce, which is distributed through the CSAs and farmers markets. The Brampton farm's Global Garlic Project involves growing about 20 varieties of garlic from various places in the world, including Israel, Ukraine and Russia.
TCV also offers food coaching, working with individuals, families, groups and organizations to develop their relationship with food, and does workshops as well.
The Cutting Veg provides wellness counselling, drawing on Hoffmann's experience in counselling and social work. "[It's] basically one-on-one counselling with individuals to help them cultivate more health and wellness in their life," he said.
"Those four streams of programming are all geared back toward that one mission of cultivating personal, social, economic and environmental health."
Hoffmann is pleased that so many people are getting involved with The Cutting Veg and the CSA program, mentioning the growing membership.
"The first year we did the CSA there were 55 members. Last year [we had] 175 members, and this year we're anticipating between 400 and 500 members."
As TCV continues to grow, he hopes that more of the Jewish community will get involved.
"I really want the Jewish community to know about this opportunity to get involved with the Community Supported Agriculture."

"Your request to join do. Good Stitches {a Charity Bee} has been declined.
The group administrator gave the following reason:
12 hours later I am cool with it but when I first read this I was sort of in a state of disbelief-feeling like I was back in High School again and I was being rejected for not being 'in' enough. I don't want to sound too bitter and overdramatic here but I thought that the purpose of the group was to create quilts for kids in need--evidently there is a little more than that going on here.
So my friends, chin up--let's continue bringing HOPE and comfort to the people God leads to us--and rest assured--Margaret's Hope Chest will never decline a volunteer based on their 'quilting style'. We love all of our volunteer's work!

A Telephone Library in an Art Museum – a vast improvement on pebbles
Moreover, there is no one place I know of in London or New York or Paris, or indeed any of the major cities, where I can consult telephone directories from all over the world, or at least many places in the world. So this collection, imperfect though it is, could serve a purpose, especially as the entrance to the permanent collection of the museum (of which this is part) is free.
But, once the idea of "surfing" telephone directories settles in, I could as well do it from the comfort of my home, by switching on my computer, and the table lamp, and sitting on a comfortable chair and visiting Superpages.com or some such.
Beautiful it is not and does not pretend to be, but….is it art?
By the standard set by Marcel Duchamp's Urinal, it certainly is.
What do you say?

Well, now that you have alerted me to it, I will definitely visit it on my trip. Thanks

I'm in the Duchamp school of thinking. The 'work of art' you describe provoked memories, internal reflection and posed questions. It also crucially had an 'author'. If in the unlikely case you happened upon a pile of international phone directories, say in a pile of rubbish somewhere, you might have had a similar experience but this to me would not have been art. In this I consider art to be a deliberate communication – in this case, according to your experience, an invitation to reflect on the technological changes in information dissemination and the whereabouts of old friends.
I recently saw a piece of work on a gallery wall which amused & intrigued me. It was a knitted panel, into which the words "I WILL NOT FEEL CRAFT SHAME" were knitted. I considered it to be art.
The previous 'Outrage…' post caused me to consider whether an artist necessarily needed craft skills. If Picasso could hold two pieces of junk together with a rusty nail he was happy to do so…

Big East M5: 10.29.12 EditionPosted by Dan Lyons on October 29th, 2012
- Basketball Prospectus' Dan Hanner unveiled his preseason basketball rankings using a brand new methodology: "Using 10 years of historical trends, I projected the performance of every D-I player, and then projected lineups for all 345 teams." The results are… interesting. Louisville remains the top ranked Big East school, though they're a bit lower than most of the polls have them ranked, at #10. Syracuse is right behind the Cardinals at #11. Pittsburgh ranks surprisingly high at #19, with Marquette, Notre Dame, and Georgetown falling in behind the Panthers at #21, #22, and #27, respectively. Rutgers ranks shockingly high at #43, and Cincinnati is listed all the way down at #52. The other Big East schools rank as follows: #58 Villanova, #69 Seton Hall, #71 South Florida, #76 St. John's, #105 DePaul, #107 Connecticut, and #122 Providence.
- Seton Hall won its first exhibition, a game against D-II Wilmington University, 113-72. Brandon Mobley led the way for the Pirates, scoring 20 points and grabbing eight rebounds. Iowa transfer Kyle Smyth had a great game as well, going 4-8 from behind the arc en route to a 16-point, eight-assist, three-steal performance. Fuquan Edwin sat out due to a violation of team rules, although he is not expected to miss much more time.
- Notre Dame's Jerian Grant is expected to be one of the team's breakout performers this year, and to do it, South Bend Tribune's Tom Noie believes that the guard could stand to "be more selfish." Grant is Notre Dame's best playmaker, as evidenced by his team-leading five assists per game, but he can also score in multiple ways, and the Irish would like to see him get to the line more because of his acumen from the stripe (81.9% FT). In the past, Grant hasn't needed to be "the guy," but he seems to be taking to his new leadership role: "I like having the ball in my hands being able to make plays for myself and for others," he said. "The more I have the ball in my hands, the more I can be good."
- DePaul received its second commitment for the class of 2013 in center Forrest Robinson. Robinson is currently enrolled at South Plains Junior College after spending his first year in college at North Texas, where he averaged 1.6 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. According to Rivals, the 6'10" Robinson had offers from Arkansas, Houston, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, USC, and Utah before choosing North Texas, and most recently chose DePaul over Bradley, Mississippi State, Saint Louis, and Tennessee Tech.
- Syracuse isn't just known for Jim Boeheim and the Orange basketball program; the school also has a pretty decent men's lacrosse program. Point guard Michael Carter-Williams and forward C.J. Fair recently took to the lacrosse field to test their skills with the 11-time national champions and the results were mixed at best. College Crosse has a full breakdown of the latest edition of the Post-Standard's 'Mike & C.J. Show' here.

The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart
Diocesan Response to the Abuse Crisis

Faith & Worship
click or tap to expand
Welcome to the Cathedral–mother church of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond; treasured historic landmark; and center for worship and outreach. We invite you to please visit often and bring family and friends to enjoy its beauty and hospitality. Our Mass times are weekdays – M,W,Th,Fr. at 12:05 pm. and weekends Sat. 5:15 pm and Sun. 9:00 am, 11:00 am and 5:15 pm. FREE PARKING is available at the following VCU decks for weekend liturgies: West Broad/Harrison and West Cary/Harrison. QR codes are required. These codes can be obtained from the back page of the bulletin or from an usher. PLEASE NOTE: The West Main/Laurel deck is closed until further notice.
Recorded on the National and State Registries of Historic Landmarks, the Cathedral emerged out of two needs: ministry to Virginia during the rebuilding years after the Civil War, and, subsequent growth in the Church. The project initially languished, given difficult economic times. Then, construction was made possible by a single gift of $500,000 from Thomas Fortune Ryan, a Virginia-born New York businessman, and his wife Ida Barry Ryan. Its cornerstone was laid on June 4, 1903 and it was dedicated on Thanksgiving Day, 1906.
It took only three years to build the Cathedral, but generations of people have been united over a century in worship, in caring for its edifice, in building a vital parish community, and in serving the Richmond region, the Catholic Diocese, and Virginia. As a gathering place for liturgical and civic celebrations; as outreach to the poor, needy and homeless; through a lively range of concerts, choral and instrumental presentations; and as a forum for community issues–the Cathedral and its community are thriving.

I had a chance to look at some new 2012 calendars for both Dumfries and Galloway being produced by Through the Lens (www.dgttl.co.uk), which include some amazing old photos from the company - keep an eye out, some wonderful images included! There was also some great feedback on the new archive facility at Carlisle, following a recent visit by several of the society's members.
Check out the society's news page at www.dgfhs.org.uk/news.asp for some recent publications made available by it.
