Jimmy Savile claimed to have performed sex acts on dead bodies, investigators say
London: Jimmy Savile abused dead bodies and claimed to have worn rings made from their glass eyes, according to a series of hospital reports.
Savile, one of the biggest TV stars in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s, was responsible for a litany of rape and sexual abuse in National Health Service institutions over at least five decades until 2009, according to 28 official reports covering the institutions involved. His victims included staff and patients, toddlers and pensioners, as he visited as a celebrity fundraiser and volunteer.
He "cherry-picked" voluntary portering jobs that would bring him into contact "with the young and vulnerable".
In one particularly distressing case at a hospital in Leeds, central England, he fondled the breasts of a teenage girl through her hospital gown as she lay prostrate on a trolley following a lengthy medical procedure.
Among the most disturbing findings in the report, which was released on Thursday, were "macabre accounts" of claims that the presenter, who died in 2011, performed sex acts on dead bodies in the mortuary at Leeds General Infirmary, and at least one other hospital.
Sue Proctor, who led the investigation into Savile's abuse at Leeds General, said Savile also claimed that large rings he wore were "made from the glass eyes of dead bodies at the mortuary".
One witness said Savile claimed he would "wheel the dead bodies around at night".
Investigators said they could not confirm his claims but concluded that his interest in the mortuary was "not within accepted boundaries".
It also emerged that staff at a number of hospitals had been told of incidents but failed to pass on complaints to senior managers.
Staff told investigators the decisions not to make formal complaints reflected the "culture at the time" and the way the entertainer had masked his abuse with "pretend humour" that misled onlookers into thinking "nothing was amiss".
British Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt apologised to the victims of "sickening and prolific" abuse by the disgraced, late BBC television presenter and disc jockey in hospitals and hospices. He said they were "let down badly" by the government and health service.
Savile repeatedly exploited the "trust of a nation" for his own "vile purposes", Mr Hunt said.
The inquiry began with his first contact with the hospital in 1960 and included testimonies from 60 people, 33 of them patients. Victims ranged in age from five to 75. Three incidents were rapes. Nine victims reported incidents to staff but they were not passed to superiors.
Savile was a hugely popular figure during his career on radio and TV and was knighted in 1990 for his extensive fundraising for charity, but after his death in 2011 at the age of 84, his dark side was exposed.
A police investigation last year concluded that he was a prolific paedophile and sex offender who used his celebrity status to attacks victims on BBC premises, schools and hospitals.
Claims that some of the abuse happened in hospital settings triggered the separate NHS investigations published on Thursday.
The inquiries, which also included a review of Savile's links to Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital, were overseen by Kate Lampard, the former chairman of the Financial Ombudsman Service. At Broadmoor investigators found "clear failings" in security as Savile had keys allowing unrestricted access to ward areas. Savile sexually abused at least five individuals there.
That report also said that an ex-patient reported passing on complaints to Alan Franey, then the general manager at Broadmoor and a friend of Savile's, from three female patients in the 1990s, although there was no record of the complaint and Mr Franey could not recall handling it.
The reports add to disclosures of Savile's wider abuse from Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree, which began in 2012 after a documentary exposed his paedophilia. Police found that Savile had 450 victims. A number of the cases in Thursday's reports were also investigated by police.
Mr Hunt said: "I want to apologise on behalf of the government and the NHS to all the victims who were abused by Savile in NHS-run institutions. We let them down badly and however long ago it may have been, many of them are still reliving the pain they went through."
He said he "hasn't ruled out anything" after MPs called for politicians and others to be "called to book" for anything they did that may have aided the abuse.
NHS chiefs described the findings as "truly awful", while both current chief executives of Leeds General and Broadmoor apologised to victims.

Offshore Drilling Is Coming to a Vote (NO COMPROMISE! 16 DAYS AND THE CURRENT BAN EXPIRES)
"Lets which Lberal Critter has the b*lls to re_vote for the ban ?
"I hope they say no Drilling and Go Down In Flames at Election time along with their candidate from Kenya !"
Congressional Democrats, balancing political reality against a policy they have long opposed, are on the cusp of approving legislation that would open the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to oil drilling as close as 50 miles offshore.
With votes scheduled this week in the House and Senate, Democrats have essentially given up defending the current ban on drilling within 200 miles offshore along both coasts. Instead, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), they are offering a mix of proposals that would allow drilling, with the waters off Massachusetts, Virginia and Georgia most likely to be the first affected.
Environmentalists and industry analysts disagree over the impact the various legislative proposals would have on oil production, with industry experts contending that the most precious reserves still would be off-limits. But both sides agree that -- because of the politics of $4-a-gallon gasoline this summer and a pending legislative deadline -- the nearly 40-year drilling ban is in jeopardy.
"It's in deep, deep trouble. I won't pronounce it dead, but it's in deep trouble," said Warner Chabot, a vice president of the Ocean Conservancy, an environmental group opposed to drilling. snip
Pelosi had previously suggested opening only portions of the southeastern Atlantic coast and some of the eastern Gulf of Mexico to drilling, but ultimately offered to allow drilling off both coastlines.
The eastern gulf off Florida's west coast would remain off-limits.
"Let's Save It For China, Pelosi!"
Under the Pelosi bill, scheduled for a vote Tuesday, the federal government would not share royalties with the states, devoting the money instead toward federal funding for renewable energy resources. Taxes on oil companies would be increased, with that revenue also going to alternative energy sources.

Sports spectating is not, as they say, my bag. Living in a city known for its sports nuts, I watch with detached amusement as grown men scream and jump up and down, curse, high-five each other and spill beer on themselves as they view their Flyers or Sixers or Phillies or Eagles. Who cares? Well, my husband, for one. We have a photo, taken in 1986, of us with World Series 1980 pitcher Tug McGraw (Tug had his own segment on Action News in those days and was covering Steve's children's theatre performance at a school). Steve was thrilled. I was unthrilled in the extreme. Nice guy, Tug was, but what was the big deal?
If I care not a whit for professionals who play the games, you can imagine my keen lack of interest in sports, back when my own children played. None of them were exactly kindergarten standouts, so what I recall most were the baseball games that lasted well into the night (on unlit fields, I might add), when the frenzied dad-coaches swore they could still see the ball and we could go one more inning.
I also remember the Arctic chill of late-fall evening soccer. When "our" team was behind, I secretly hoped our opponents would crush us quickly so we could all go home. Confession: during an early basketball game with my daughter Rose playing, I was totally engrossed in conversation with my friend Holly. At one point the ref, who happened to be a friend from church, actually came over to me and informed me that Rosie had just made a basket (her very first, in fact) and that I should pretend later to have seen it. I gave an Oscar-worthy performance at halftime, oohing and aahing at her athletic prowess. Knowing Rose, she probably wasn't fooled for a minute, but she gave me the benefit of the doubt.
I kept thinking that my attitude would improve as they grew older. Surely a middle-school baseball tournament, with Sheridan on the pitcher's mound, would be more engrossing than watching the same child at age 5, whaling vainly away at T-ball, would have been! Surely I would be swept up in the excitement of the other Upper Dublin High School football spectators when PJ took to the field as place-kicker! Nah. Still totally disinterested, still waiting impatiently until the final whistle blew, until the last play was over. I viewed watching my kids' games as my motherly cross to bear, and counted the days until I would be off the hook forever.
Well, guess what? It's happened. I am no longer contractually obligated to sit on any bleachers anywhere. And you know what? I kinda miss it. Not the sports themselves of course — nor the sports-crazed parents. (One parent of a boy on Evan's team was given to shrieking at the children, even following them out to the parking lot afterward to rant and rave.) I do, however, miss being an important game-watcher — important to my kids, that is, even when I was rooting for a field hockey player I could have sworn was Julie and wasn't. My offspring never got mad if I cheered their adversary's goal by accident; they just wanted me physically present for them.
So our college man PJ came home for Steve's birthday last April and needed to go back to Millersville University for a lacrosse game. (The team he played on was doing very well, on its way to a national championship). On an impulse, Steve and I decided to drive out and watch his game. It was all so uncomfortably familiar — the bitter cold, the hard bleachers, the requisite bizarre screaming fan (this guy wore a full yellow bodysuit).
But attending PJ's game gave me another chance, maybe one of my last chances ever, to stand up and cheer for my child at play. The years are flying by at a ridiculous pace, and — there's no getting around it — my brood is all grown up. Someday soon, it will be their turn to stand on the sidelines and watch their own offspring score that basket or (if they take after their grandma) miss hitting that T-ball. Meanwhile, though, I could still watch PJ (it WAS PJ; wasn't it?), racing down the field.
Wonder of wonders, I enjoyed myself that evening. College lacrosse is, I must admit, very fast-moving and, I guess, even a little bit exciting. PJ was, himself, fast-moving and fun to watch. But best of all: PJ was genuinely happy we had come. And just because of that, I was happy too.
I may still be an ignorant numbskull when it comes to understanding even the rudiments of sport, and I still wouldn't pay 10 cents for tickets to anything at Citizen's Bank Park or the Wells Fargo Center. But as long as my kids are glad to see me, anytime, anywhere, I'll be there.

|Condition or disease
|Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Soft Palate
|Biological: LI plus CIZ Other: Standard of Care (SOC) Biological: LI + SOC
|Phase 3
Head and neck carcinomas constitute about 5% of all cancers annually worldwide. In the US there are about 37,000 new cases annually. Ninety percent are advanced primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCCHN). Approximately 2/3 of SCCHN patients present on their first visit with locally advanced disease. The median 3 year overall survival(OS) for these patients with existing standard of care (SOC) therapies - surgery followed by radiotherapy or combined radiochemotherapy - is between 52 and 55%; the 5 year OS is 43%. There are clearly a large number of SCCHN patients not well served by available modalities.
Regional intra or perilymphatic and/or intratumoral or peritumoral low dose cytokine therapy may have important therapeutic effects in SCCHN patients and constitute an additional anti-tumor mechanism of action different and distinct from current SOC. Leukocyte Interleukin Injection (LI) [Multikine]contains a defined mixture of naturally derived cytokines and chemokines with demonstrated safety and immunomodulatory activity in animals and in man in Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials. LI was administered prior to SOC and in combination with low non-chemotherapeutic doses of cyclophosphamide, indomethacin, and zinc (CIZ) in studies with LI. The results of these studies indicate that the local/regional injection of mixed interleukins (LI) with CIZ prior to SOC can overcome local immunosuppression, break tumor tolerance to tumor antigens and allow for a sustainable and effective anti-tumor immune response.
LI is being tested in this large, global, multinational Phase III clinical trial to develop definitive proof of its efficacy and safety in treating SCCHN. The trial is an open-label randomized multi-center controlled study of LI + CIZ + SOC in subjects with advanced primary SCCHN of the oral cavity/soft palate vs. SOC [The Comparator Arms for, Overall Survival, the Primary End Point of this Study].

|Primary Purpose:
|Official Title:
|Phase III Study of LI [Multikine®] Plus SOC (Surgery + Radiotherapy or Surgery + Concurrent Radiochemotherapy) in Subjects With Advanced Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral Cavity/Soft Palate vs. SOC Only
|Study Start Date :

|Actual Primary Completion Date :
|December 2017
|Actual Study Completion Date :
|December 2017
Experimental: LI plus CIZ
LI plus CIZ is given as adjuvant therapy prior to standard of care (SOC).
Biological: LI plus CIZ
LI 400IU (2.0mL total daily) 1.0 mL peritumoral, 1.0 mL perilymphatic 5x weekly x3 weeks administered in combination with cyclophosphamide indomethacin and zinc (CIZ) as adjuvant therapy prior to SOC, surgery followed by radiation or concurrent radiochemotherapy with cisplatin 100mg/m^2 intravenously to determine if LI plus CIZ affects the overall survival of subjects at median 3 years. Cyclophosphamide 300mg/m^2 is administered intravenously bolus 3 days prior to treatment with LI. Indomethacin 25mg capsules are administered orally beginning on day 1 of LI treatment up to 1 day prior to surgery. Multivitamin tablets or capsules with zinc (> or = to 15mg but not > 40mg) are administered orally beginning on day 1 of LI treatment up to 1 day prior to surgery.
Other Names:
Active Comparator: Standard of Care (SOC)
SOC for previously untreated SCCHN patients is currently surgery followed by either radiotherapy or combined radiochemotherapy depending the patient's risk status for relapse determined at surgery.
Other: Standard of Care (SOC)
Standard of care (SOC) for previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is currently surgery followed by radiotherapy (60-70Gy in 30 to 35 fractions over 6 to 7 weeks) or for higher risk subjects (subjects determined at surgery to have positive surgical margins, 2 or more clinically positive nodes or extracapsular nodal spread) radiotherapy is combined with concurrent chemotherapy (cisplatin 100mg/m2 intravenously 1x weekly for 3 weeks on day 1 of weeks 1, 4 and 7 of radiotherapy
Other Names:
Experimental: LI + SOC
LI is administered without CIZ to determine the contribution of CIZ to the effects of LI.
Biological: LI + SOC
LI is administered 400 IU (2.0mL) 1/2 peritumorally and 1/2 perilymphatically 5 times a week for three weeks prior to SOC to determine the contribution of CIZ on LI activity.
Other Names:
- Overall Survival (OS) in LI + CIZ + SOC vs. SOC [ Time Frame: 3 year ]OS will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier life-table and compared using a logrank test and confirmed further with tumor stage location and geographic stratified log rank tests. The unstratified logrank test constitutes the primary analysis. A two-sided p-value of 0.05 or less will be considered statistically significant for comparing the two groups. Interim analyses will be performed throughout the study to assess safety, sample size and futility.
- Local regional control (LRC) in LI + CIZ + SOC vs. SOC [ Time Frame: 2 years ]LRC is assessed by classifying the first evidence of progression in local and distal sites for the control groups and for the LI treated group. LRC failure includes progression of tumor(s) and nodes or appearance of new disease above the clavicle (but not distant metastases) the reappearance of tumor in the original tumor bed, development of cervical node metastases and new disease above the clavicle other than distant metastases not present at baseline. The total number and corresponding percent of subjects in each of the treated and untreated control groups as well as the time to LRC in days for each group will also be displayed for each group.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) in LI + CIZ + SOC vs.SOC [ Time Frame: 3 year. ]PFS will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier life-table and compared using a logrank test and confirmed further with stage location and geographic stratified log rank tests. The unstratified logrank test constitutes the primary analysis.A two sided p-value of 0.05 or less will be considered statistically significant in comparing the groups. The Holm closed-sequential procedure will be used to control type 1 error probability to at most 0.05
- Quality of Life (QOL) in LI + CIZ + SOC vs. SOC [ Time Frame: 3 yr. ]QOL will be based on the EORTC QLOQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-H&N35. QOL data will be assessed for change in QOL from baseline within and between treatment groups.Between group comparisons will be performed using ANOVA or Wilcoxon rank sum test. Within treatment group change from baseline will be performed using a paired t-test or a signed rank test. Two-sided t-test will be used with no adjustment for type I error. An exact binomial test of each treatment group will be used to assess a 10 point improvement between treatments. A Fisher Exact Test will be used for between group comparisons.

Sheese Louise
The package I received from Susan had way more than just Sheese in it. It also had some vegan gummy sour snakes, some Primal Strips soy jerky, and a Go Max Go Joker bar. All things were massively appreciated - gummy candies have always been my favourite, and were one thing I was very sad to give up upon adopting vegetarianism. Candy bars - hello, who doesn't want a vegan snickers? But I love a good savoury snack, and vegan jerky made Andy and I think seriously about how we can make some in our dehydrator.
But the Sheese was really the star, and for a few weeks was the gift that kept giving. I was pretty happy to see that it is grate-able.
For our first try of it, we put it on pizza, along with some BBQ sauce, grilled onions, and vegan bacon bits (which we souvenired from the US). The Sheese didn't melt, as such, but since it was grated and we didn't layer it on too thick, it didn't matter much. It did add a really nice layer of flavour that our normal cheeseless pizzas don't have.
The smoked cheddar flavour is exceedingly good on crackers.
And it made a tasty, if not melty-gooey, toasted cheese sandwich.
The plain cheddar found homes atop nachos, more pizzas, mixed into our Christmas breakfast hash browns, and in a wrap with some BBQ "Pulled" Jack fruit.
Susan - thanks so much for all of this! Vegan bloggers really are the best :-)

What an exciting package! As someone who didn't like cheese even before reducing dairy, I'll confess to being more excited by the other items in your package than the cheese per se. However, it's nice to know there are actually vegan cheeses out there that taste edible and can be used in place of the cow version.

Oooh, I had no idea that vegan jerky was available in Australia at all! Though what I really miss is the Stonewall (I think?) vegan jerky from America. Mmmm, smoked cheeze! I'd like that :)

Sheese has such a nice flavour, especially for crackers, I dont cook with it much. I use Redwoods Cheezly for that, but not sure if its only in the UK.
Great post, I have a massive pizza craving now (but I'm in Vietnam)!

I first tried sheese when I was in Wales. We got some of the cheddar kind and ate it in a park with some chilli stuffed olives. I quite like it uncooked :D but I didn't know it was shelf-stable!

What great treats! I've heard good things about Sheese. Smoked cheddar...yum!

I think Sheese is decent. Loved it on bread and/or crackers, too! I think one misconception about vegan cheeses is that they are one size fits all. They're not. Just like cow's milk cheeses, some are hard and crumbly while others are melty. They all have different characteristics, which lend themselves to different uses.
BTW, when you were here, did you get to try Daiya cheeses? They are exceedingly melty--perfect for pizzas, grilled cheeses, Mexi food, etc.

ooh i love the idea of a proper vegan cheese toasted sandwich!! I really miss them - toasted sandwiches are not quite the same without melted stuff!

Sheese is soooo good (although I've only ever tried the smoked cheddar because every time we go to buy it I just can't get past the amazing flavour of the smoked cheddar to try one of the other flavours). I love making jerky in our dehydrator and usually use a recipe from How it All Vegan that can be found here: http://www.vegparadise.com/asknettie23.html
Primal Strips are great-- every time we go back to Canada and the US we buy heaps (but now we can get them here too- just a bit more expensive but a great treat)

I am pretty new to Java. I tried to look at a few examples and they made no sense to me. Here is what I am trying to do:
Create a method that just handles the calculations for the application. Create another method that allows returning all the values from the
method used to do the calculations. Have the main method only hold the initialized variables and print out the results. Here is what I tried
(pure conjecture and I cannot figure out how to accomplish what I want):
public class WorkingWithMults { public static void main(String[] args) { int a = 1, b = 2; System.out.print(obj); } public static void Calculations(int a, int b) { a = a + 5; b = b + 5; } public Calculations returnValue() { Calculations obj = new Calculations(); return obj; } }

Architecture: Sou Fujimoto designs Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013: "..Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto has been named as the designer of this year's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, which will be a cloud-like structure made from a lattice of steel poles..The semi-transparent pavilion will occupy 350 square-metres of lawn outside the London gallery. Two entrances will lead inside the structure, where staggered terraces will provide seating for a central cafe..Sou Fujimoto describes his design as "an architectural landscape" where "the vivid greenery of the surrounding plant life [is] woven together with a constructed geometry".."The delicate quality of the structure, enhanced by its semi-transparency, will create a geometric, cloud-like form, as if it were mist rising from the undulations of the park," said Fujimoto. "From certain vantage points, the pavilion will appear to merge with the classical structure of the Serpentine Gallery, with visitors suspended in space." The temporary pavilion will open to the public on 8 June and will remain in Kensington Gardens until 20 October..Sou Fujimoto is the third Japanese architect to accept the annual unpaid commission, which is one of the most highly sought-after small projects in world architecture and goes to a major architect who hasn't yet built in the UK. Toyo Ito designed the pavilion in 2002, while SANAA followed in 2009..Last year's pavilion was a cork-lined archaeological dig created by Herzog & de Meuron with Ai Weiwei, who was forbidden to leave China at the time.."

Seven years ago when I was here, all I saw were the dirt strewn, littered streets. I saw girls getting married at a sadly young age; I saw how women were limited to indoor activities. I saw families with more children than they could afford to raise. Most troubling of all, I saw a severe lack of education. Words like ambition and individualism were foreign concepts here. It seemed like the people here were unaware of man's progress and achievements. Clearly, they were not living in the 21st century.
I realise now, that it was my perspective that was wrong. I looked at everything with a pre-conceived bias, with detest. I only saw what was on the surface. I saw what I had already decided I would see. Today, it is those same things that harbour my curiosity and encourage me to go back and understand; to take a look at the same scene with a new perspective; to be the harbinger of positive change.
Today is my first day in the village. We arrived here from Islamabad last night, that's where we land and spend a couple of days before heading to Bebe's house in the village. I saw the little girl who comes to help out at the house with chores and errands twice a week. She is older than she looks. My aunt told me she's an 11-year-old, and has 12 siblings. She walks all the way from the neighbouring village to ours early morning, and helps out in several houses in this neighbourhood to earn some money in order to put food on the table for her ridiculously large family. Her father has another family and does not contribute much. Her mother and her siblings work in other houses in villages nearby.

According to the 1899 Kelly's Directory of Sussex available at http://www.historicaldirectories.org/
UCKFIELD is a union town and parish, and the head of a petty sessional division with a station on the London, Brighton and South Coast Company's line from Brighton to Lewes and Tunbridge Wells, 43 miles from London, 16 north-east from Brighton, 8 north-west from Lewes and 14 south-west from Tunbridge Wells, in the Northern division of the county, Loxfield Dorset hundred, Pevensey rape, Lewes county court district, rural deanery of Pevensey (third division), archdeaconry of Lewes and diocese of Chichester.
As can be seen from the map, Uckfield is situated inland from the coast midway between Brighton and Eastbourne. It is the seat of the DAWES family that I am tracing.
In greater detail at left, the village of Framfield is visible to the lower right. This is where my great grandfather, Thomas DAWES (1840-1925) was born at Lantern Cottege, Bird-in-Eye hill which is also visible on the Framfield Road.
The area where the Framfield Road label is located is known as New Town where several members of the family lived.

Castleton rock duo Drenge have been named as one to watch by the BBC.
The grunge two-piece were mentioned in a list of four of the country's most promising bands by entertainment reporter Mark Savage.
Drenge, meaning boys in Danish, consists of Eoin Loveless, 21, on guitar and vocals, and his younger brother Rory, on drums.
The pair, who formed in 2011, rose to prominence following the resignation of Labour MP Tom Watson from the Shadow Cabinet in 2013, who wrote in his resignation letter on his blog: "if you want to see an awesome band, I recommend Drenge."
The brothers have also been praised by NME for their "pleasingly feral" sound and have been championed by BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Steve Lamacq, who called them his favourite new band.
Last year, they released three singles Bloodsports, Backwater and Face like a Skull, and an album Drenge in August.
This month, Drenge are performing at Dot to Dot festivals in Manchester on May 23 and Nottingham on May 25.

For anyone new to this blog, last year when things got dull at the end of Cataclysm I decided I'd give the Ironman Challenge a shot. Here is a quick recap of the rules (Full list of rules and current challengers can be seen at wowironman.com):
Level from 1-85 using the rules below. (1-90 now that the level cap has been raised.)
Only White or Grey gear. No Heirlooms of any kind.
No transfer of gear, items, or money from any other character (yours or others).
No gear enhancements, including gems, enchanting, and reforging. Class abilities are allowed (eg. Rogue poisons, Shaman imbues).
No specialization, talent points, or glyphs. No pet talent points.
No professions or secondary skills, except for First Aid.
No potions, flasks, or elixir s except for required quest items.
No food buffs or other external buffs (including buffs from items and other players).
No groups or assistance from other characters, even if not grouped.
No dungeons, raids, battlegrounds, or arenas.
No guilds, except for level 1 guilds created specifically for the Ironman Challenge.
No Refer-A-Friend.
No addons which assist in combat and/or leveling (eg. leveling guides, Ovale).
THE BIG ONE: No deaths. Character death for any reason disqualifies the character
A quick history of my Iron toons (the Ironsteves):
For this challenge I added a little twist of my own in addition to the above rules, and that would be that most of my experience was to come from killing rares. (You can see all of my Ironman related posts by looking under the label WoW Ironman Challenge on this blog.) I made it to level 52 with my first toon Ironsteve, an undead hunter. I died when I accidentally clicked an Alliance flight master (d'oh!). I deleted him and re-rolled two more Ironman toons (Ironsteve the troll druid, and Ironstevo the undead lock). Ironstevo quickly overtook Ironsteve in levels, gaining most of his experience from finding treasure chests once reaching Outland and finished the challenge in early June of last year. You can read the post where I re-caped his journey here: WoW Ironman Challenge Complete!
I haven't touched either toon since then, but I decided that with a new level cap and not much else to do right now it would be a perfect time to dust both of them off!
|Greetings! ~From Ironstevo and his trusty meat-shield Belnak
Soul Fire used to be Ironstevo's "big hitting" spell pre-mop. Corrupton, Agony, Immolate, Drain Soul...these were Ironstevo's bread and butter. Well now Ironstevo has been left with only one dot, Shadow Bolt and not a whole lot else. Ironstevo's rotation currently looks something like: Curse of the Elements, Corruption, Shadowbolt/Fel Flame/Drain Life (I like to switch up these three spells to keep it interesting) until the target is dead. It's slow going, but the voidwalker does a much better job at holding threat now and deals a fair amount of damage (he hits harder than poor Ironstevo). Ironstevo also noticed he got a lovely new racial ability called Touch of the Grave which deals about 40% of his dps and heals him for a hefty amount when it goes off. Between the new racial and Ironstevo's blue marshmellow shield it makes up for a lot of lost dps.
Another change that is quite nice is Ironstevo's mana pool. Now that mana pools are dependent on level instead of intellect, Ironstevo is sitting at a hot 100k just like the big boys with actual gear at 85! He can now last a heck of a lot longer without needing mana! Ironstevo even dinged level 86 a couple of days ago while doing his Love is in the Air dailies and was pleased to receive another 20k to that mana pool, and an extra 18k hp. 18k may not sound like a lot, but for an ironman toon it's a pretty big spike!
|Ironstevo enjoying some holiday quest experience
Ironsteve the druid is still around (and alive) as well. He's been following Ironstevo's footsteps using rares and treasure chests to get to where he is now. That is actually ALL he does for xp besides the occasional holiday quest. He's been spending a lot of time killing the various mobs in Swamp of Sorrows and Blasted Lands each day.
|Ironsteve finds a treasure chest in Swamp of Sorrows
|Ironsteve dinging the big 60 right in Garrosh's face!
Anywho, that's where my Ironman toons stand at the moment. Stay tuned for updates, and for anyone who has never tried this challenge before I highly recommend it - it's a lot of fun! ^-^

So unexpected and extreme have recent financial trends been that even the man who warned that derivatives are "financial weapons of mass destruction," legendary investor Warren Buffett, has encountered difficulties when his companies waded into the derivatives market.
Concern about a cascade of failures among financial institutions led the Federal Reserve to make loans to the beleaguered investment bank Bear Stearns Cos. by invoking authority it last used in the 1960s.
All of the events of recent weeks including the wild swings in both the stock and commodities markets are signaling the advent a rare full-blown, long-term credit crisis not seen in, well, a blue moon. Some are saying we haven't seen anything like it since the 1930s. As frightening as such pronouncements are, they all imply a rare but cyclical crisis that is understood to be severe, but ultimately of limited duration. Yes, such a crisis only occurs once in a blue moon, but when it does, despite all the damage that results, it eventually comes to an end.
All of this may turn out to be true, but only if the cause of this economic crisis is strictly as advertised, namely, too much credit given to too many people at prices too cheap for too long until many overreached and could not make good on their obligations. The problems appear to extend all the way from the humblest subprime mortgage holder to major financial institutions at the center of Wall Street.
Certainly, the reckless expansion of credit is one important cause for the crisis. But another cause seems to be hidden in plain sight. There is another market on high boil that both Wall Street and the public seem to be ignoring, the commodities market. Grains, energy and gold have been making spectacular new all-time highs. And, even as one trader managed to lose $140 million for his commodities broker employer in the wheat market, eyes remain riveted on Wall Street and the stock market.
There are all the usual explanations for the commodities bull market including that 1) growth in China and India is providing enormous new demand for basic commodities, 2) we are simply going through a normal cyclical upswing in commodity prices, and 3) new investment vehicles such as hedge funds and exchange traded commodity funds have made it easier for more people to speculate in the commodity markets. All of these things may be true.
But there are also other very disturbing causes. What is now being called a once-in-a-thousand-years drought has gripped Australia, one of the world's four remaining grain exporters. (The other major exporters are the United States, Canada and Argentina.) The result last year was an Australian wheat crop that was cut in half. That helped to send grain prices soaring. Is the drought related to global warming? If so, then there is reason to believe that the problem isn't temporary and that it may spread to other grain growing regions around the globe.
Another cause for rising grain prices may be that damage to the soil caused by decades of industrial farming is catching up with us. The rate of increase in global grain production has slowed dramatically. And, even though absolute grain production has continued to rise, yield per capita has been in a gradual decline for more than two decades. Whatever the reason, increases in grain production are not keeping up with population growth.
As for the high price of oil, it may indeed be due to high demand in Asia. But another cause may be slowing rates of discovery that have led many to conclude that a peak in the rate of world oil production may be no more than a decade away. And, as oil prices have risen, there has been a scramble to produce liquid fuel substitutes such as ethanol from sugar and corn and biodiesel from soy. This has led to higher demand and record prices for both corn and soy and to elevated prices for sugar. If the tightness in the oil market is due to an approaching oil peak, then the price trend in these energy crops is unlikely to abate soon.
There is, of course, the central role of oil in the world economy and the financial implications that an oil peak would have. First and foremost, it would mean very high energy prices for as far as the eye can see. It could also mean financial turmoil for importing nations such as the United States, turmoil that may already be manifesting itself in the form of a credit crisis.
Even the prices of crucial industrial metals such as copper, lead, nickel and zinc have risen sharply. Copper, for example, has risen from a low of 60 cents a pound at the beginning of the decade to a recent price of around $3.50. More worrisome are rare metals used in important consumer and business products and processes such as platinum used in catalytic converters in cars, indium used in LCD displays, and rhodium used for critical electrical contacts which have been up as much as 500 percent, 1,000 percent and 2,000 percent, respectively.
All of this is supposed to stimulate supply and bring down commodity prices. But, this is simply not happening in the oil industry where large international oil companies have been unable to replace their oil reserves despite their high levels of exploration and development spending. As this new picture of harder-to-find oil has emerged, these companies have instead begun to focus on buying other oil companies and on buying back stock which, of course, does nothing to increase oil supplies. It is true that substantial oil resources remain underground in OPEC countries. But these countries have little incentive to produce much more oil than they do today. Why not leave reserves in the ground and get higher prices later as the money is needed?
Nowhere is the problem of finding additional supplies of energy clearer than in the North American natural gas market. Natural gas production has been stuck on a plateau of about 27 trillion cubic feet of annual production since 1998. To quote from a previous piece of mine:
But, it's not for lack of trying. From a low in early 1999 of 397 active gas drilling rigs in Canada and the United States combined, the count has vaulted to 1,753 active gas rigs for the week just ended [January 18, 2008]. And, the high rig count is not just a recent phenomenon. Combined gas rig counts first reached 1,000 in the year 2000 and fluctuated between about 700 and 1,300 from then until mid-2005. At that point they broke through the 1,300 level and never looked back. The simple fact is that natural gas in North America is getting harder to find; and when we do find it, it is coming in smaller quantities that flow at slower rates than in the past. That's why we are having to drill so many wells just to run in place.
So much for the idea that high prices will automatically bring on supply. High prices may be able to stimulate drilling, but they cannot alas create natural gas.
For metals, prices have come down, but not to their previous levels. And, as for food, farmers have been shifting what they grow depending on which grain prices are going up. But, there is little room left to add acres unless conservation programs are completely abandoned.
The question then is this: Are we merely experiencing a cyclical, albeit once-in-a-blue-moon event that will resolve itself in lower prices for all the commodities that make our modern society possible...or are we facing a long-term struggle for the declining resources of the globe, a struggle that will potentially endanger our lives and completely transform our society? The answer may be no clearer than the moon when it plays hide and seek on a cloudy night. On other hand, the moon that I can make out on such an evening doesn't seem to be the least bit blue.

posterframes necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 12 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
We are a poster frame company looking to launch a new website geared specifically towards selling puzzle frames.
We would like the website to have a fun, creative feel, but not too kids oriented. We are still selling our product to adults. The website is going to be targeted to users 18+ that can make online purchases via Paypal or Credit Card.
Most people who will be searching for puzzle frames have just finished putting their puzzle together, and are excited to go online and look for a puzzle frame to complete their masterpiece. We would like the website design to be clean, fun, and easy to use.
One thing we need to stress is that we are not selling puzzles. We are only selling the puzzle frames and accessories (puzzle glue, etc). You may still incorporate puzzle elements into the design (buttons, logo, etc), but don't go too crazy with it.
The one page we are looking to get designed is the homepage. We need a header (logo, contact information, and a place for shopping cart information such as number of items, subtotal, and shipping costs), a nav menu, and footer. The page should be no more than 1000px wide. We would also like a 3rd column on the right side (similar to our example website) where we could add additional information, specials, etc, but that can also be removed on other pages and not look bad.
http://www.posterframedepot.com - This is our current poster frame website. Our puzzle frame site will still have the frame profiles you see on that site, so you may use them in your design. The puzzle frame site will be similar to this one, except all the products will be geared towards puzzles. You may use some content from this site (such as the navigation menu items) to help you with your design.

Rob Ford finally admits he has smoked crack cocaine, still won't resign (with video)
Toronto mayor says it was probably 'in one of my drunken stupors', tells press it will 'never, ever, ever happen again'
TORONTO — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford confessed he has smoked crack Tuesday as his brother Doug Ford went on an all-out offensive against police Chief Bill Blair.
"Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," Rob Ford said Tuesday. "I've made mistakes in the past. . . . I can't change the past. I can apologize."
He said it was probably "in one of my drunken stupors" about a year ago when he smoked the drug.
Ford has been under intense scrutiny for months after two media outlets reported the existence of a video that they said appeared to show the mayor smoking crack.
Until Tuesday, Ford had denied he used crack cocaine and suggested the video did not exist.
"Yes, I've made mistakes, all I can do now is apologize and move on," the mayor said.
"You guys kept referring to alcohol . . . there's been times when I've been in a drunken stupor. That's why I want to see the tape. I want everyone in the city to see this tape."
Last week, Toronto's police chief said authorities had recovered a video of the mayor with images that corresponded with media reports about him appearing to smoke crack cocaine.
Ford repeated a call for the tape to be released on Tuesday.
"I don't even recall there being a tape or a video and I know that. So I want to see the state that I was in," he said.
"I wasn't lying," he told reporters. "You didn't ask the correct questions. No, I'm not an addict and no I do not do drugs."
Ford's unexpected statement left many people stunned.
The premier of Ontario said she was concerned that Ford's personal issues were making it difficult for the business of the city to carry on in a normal way.
"We want municipalities to be able to function and there is a huge amount of turmoil at city hall right now," said Kathleen Wynne.
"The police service and the judicial system have to take action. But the mayor will have to make his decisions about what is appropriate right now.
At City Hall, some who worked with Ford said his latest admission was a clear sign that he needed to step aside.
"Right now he does not have a shred of credibility, given when he has said," said Coun. Jaye Robinson.
"The real issue is getting the mayor to address his health issues, step aside, take a leave of absence, as I've been saying for six long months."
Robinson added that Ford's often contradictory statements over the last few months have taken a toll on Toronto and its international brand.
"It's a circus and if anybody is saying it's not affecting the business of the city they're not being honest," she said. "We've also become the laughing stock of North America, if not the world."
Despite the pressure on Ford to step down, municipal law makes no provision for his forced removal from office unless he's convicted and jailed for a criminal offence.
Earlier in the day, a furious Coun. Doug Ford called a news conference outside the mayor's office at Toronto City Hall to lash out at Blair.
He accused the chief of bias for the personal comments that the chief made last week about a videotape that apparently depicts his brother, Rob Ford, smoking crack.
"We have the most political police chief that I have ever seen," thundered Ford. "He believes he is the judge, jury and executioner. This compromises the chief."
Doug Ford, who asked city staff to move a lectern to the hallway to give a spot to speak, also called on Andy Pringle, a member of the police board, to resign, saying his friendship with Blair compromised his objectivity.
"I do not have confidence in Andy Pringle," he said. "He went on a fishing trip with the chief."
One reporter asked Doug Ford whether it was wise that he attack the chief of police while police are investigating Rob Ford.
"Am I supposed to be intimidated by the police chief?" demanded the councillor, whose hands were trembling. "The police chief doesn't intimidate me."
Last week, Blair announced police had recovered the infamous video of Rob Ford, allegedly depicting him smoking crack cocaine. "As a citizen of Toronto I am disappointed," Blair said then. "This is a traumatic issue for the citizens of this city and for the reputation of this city and that concerns me."
Doug Ford said that those words prove the chief is biased against his brother. "The police chief should go through proper process. He shouldn't have made his comments that he was disappointed," the councillor said.
"I'm not too sure what political games the chief wants to play but obviously he has created a massive conflict of interest," Doug Ford said on John Oakley's show on AM640 Tuesday morning.
"He needs to step down until the probe is done, there is obviously a bias right now moving forward in this city with the police chief against the mayor of this city. It's not up to the police chief to decide in the next election who is going to be mayor."
Mark Pugash, a spokesman for Blair, responded with: "We do not respond to personal attacks. Our job is to investigate without fear or favour."
Doug Ford suggested the chief "couldn't wait" to tell the public he had the video. "He believes he's the judge, the jury and the executioner. He wanted to go out and put a political bullet right between the mayor's eyes, and thought that would be the final bullet to knock the mayor off. He thought he had a royal flush, and it shows he had a pairs of deuces."
Directly after Doug Ford spoke, a parade of councillors trooped to the mayor's office to express dismay at his remarks.
"Doug Ford should probably himself resign," said Coun. Gloria Lindsay Luby, a conservative councillor from the Fords' home turf of Etobicoke.
"Andy Pringle is a good guy," she added. "Why go after your own?"
"Whatever kind of weight he is trying to throw around is not going to carry," she added.
Coun. Pam McConnell, herself a former chair of the Police Services Board, said Doug Ford's comments dismayed her.
"He is doing something which is precluded by law," she said. "He is interfering with an investigation."
Following the launch of MADD Canada's red ribbon campaign at police headquarters, Tuesday, Blair told reporters he would push forward with the probe.
"I have a responsibility to uphold the law and I can't be deterred from that by personal attacks," he said at police headquarters.
"We'll do our job and we'll do it without fear or favour."
Asked if he regrets expressing disappointment last week, Blair said he was making a "sincere effort" not to offer an opinion. "I was asked a very specific question about how I felt and I responded, how I felt," he said.
To the suggestion that there is a poisonous relationship between him and the Fords, Blair told Torontonians "we are continuing to do our job."
He refused to comment on the mayor's refusal to be interviewed by police investigating the alleged crack video.
As for complaints from Doug Ford that the chief went on a fishing trip with a member of his board, which he suggested is inappropriate, Blair said he doesn't know what he is talking about.
Meanwhile, the mayor was told not to attend a gala fundraiser this week hosted by the chief, according to his chief of staff, although the police deny Rob Ford was "uninvited."

Buy Me, Rent Me, Forget Me: The Best Wide Release of 2012 So Far Hits Home
Notable New Releases
The Grey (Universal)
Release Date: Jan 27, 2012
Director: Joe Carnahan
Cast: Liam Neeson, Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney, Dallas Roberts, Joe Anderson. Full cast + crew
Verdict: Buy Me
Avaialble On: Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD
Special Features: Commentary with Joe Carnahan and his two editors, Roger Barton and Jason Hellmann, Six Deleted Scenes spread across 22 minutes
Additional Thoughts: For this writer's money, The Grey is the best wide release of 2012 so far. Joe Carnahan's film is not only a riveting survival story, but a deft tale of blue collar workers, modern manhood, and battling depression. That may sound heavy for a movie whose trailers sell it as Liam Neeson fighting wolves, but that's also why it's such a damned exciting film. Sure, it's got more than enough thrills in it, but there's more here than meets the eye.
Chronicle (Fox)
Release Date: Feb 03, 2012
Director: Josh Trank
Cast: Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, Michael B. Jordan,Michael Kelly, Ashley Hinshaw. Full cast + crew
Verdict: Rent Me
Avaialble On: Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD
Special Features: Unrated Director's Cut, Deleted Scenes, Pre-Viz, Camera Test, Digital Copy
Additional Thoughts: It's a big year for superheroes on the big screen, and while films like The Avengers will hardly be forgotten, one of the year's biggest surprises is Chronicle, AKA the 'found footage superhero movie.' Josh Trank's film is an innovative, refreshing twist on normal superhero origin stories that not only does very interesting and ambitious things with its visual approach, but gets a lot of mileage out of its strong cast and character dynamics.
Dialogue: Josh Trank on How the '90s and Having Nothing to Lose Influenced Chronicle
One For the Money (Lionsgate)
Release Date: Jan 27, 2012
Director: Julie Ann Robinson
Cast: Katherine Heigl, Jason O'Mara, Daniel Sunjata, John Leguizamo, Sherri Shepherd. Full cast + crew
Verdict: Rent Me
Avaialble On: Blu-ray, DVD
Special Features: Behind the Scenes (11 minutes), Bond Girls: Kicking Ass in the Bail Bonds Industry (10 minutes), Gag Reel (3 minutes), Deleted Scene (just one), Trailer
Additional Thoughts: Katherine Heigl has earned a reputation for making one interchangeable romantic comedy after another. Thankfully One for the Money breaks that cycle. Sure, it's comedic, and yes, it has a romantic interest in it, but they're secondary in a light, overall enjoyable movie that seems like it should have been made in the '90s with Demi Moore as a gal in need of some fast cash who becomes a bail bondsman. If you're a Heigl hater, this is hardly good enough to erase away any prejudice, but if you either like or are indifferent to the Knocked Up star, give One For the Money a chance. It's breezy and charming; the kind of movie you catch on an airplane because it's the only thing playing, but you end up being pleasantly surprised by.
Other New Releases
Notable Catalog Releases
Father of the Bride 1 & 2 (Touchstone)
Release Date: Dec 20, 1991
Director: Charles Shyer
Cast: Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams, Kieran Culkin, George Newbern. Full cast + crew
Verdict: Buy Me
Avaialble On: Blu-ray
Special Features: For Part 1: Commentary with Charles Shyer, Original Score Soundtrack, Behind The Scenes Featurette, Steve Martin and Martin Short interview each other. For Part II: Commentary with Steve Martin and Martin Short, a Behind The Scenes production video
Additional Thoughts: I'll admit my bias right up front: I've got a nostalgia-fueled fondness for both Father of the Bride films, which were cable mainstays during my youth. It's not exactly a series that demands an HD upgrade, but if, like me, you've got a pre-built affinity for the wholesome side of Steve Martin, this double-pack Blu-ray is a nice buy.

text: On May 7, 1915, less than a year after World War I (1914-18) erupted across Europe, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner en route from New York to Liverpool, England. Of the more than 1,900 passengers and crew members on board, more than 1,100 perished, including more than 120 Americans. Nearly two years would pass before the United States formally entered World War I, but the sinking of the Lusitania played a significant role in turning public opinion against Germany, both in the United States and abroad.

Aurora (Illinois)
Earth : North America : United States of America : Midwest (United States of America) : Illinois : Chicagoland : Aurora (Illinois)
Aurora is the second-largest city in the U.S. state of Illinois, located about 35 miles west of Chicago. It's at the very edge of Chicagoland and, situated on the Fox River, has many opportunities for urban, suburban, and rural recreation . Often overlooked, Aurora in fact has many surprisingly interesting attractions and a downtown unlike a typical suburb's. It is probably best known for being the setting of the "Wayne's world" movies
Get in
By Car: Aurora is just off the East-West Tollway (I-88) in Illinois. Take the Route 31 exit south.
By Train: Aurora is part of Chicago's Metra commuter rail system, the last stop on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line which leaves from Union Station in the Loop.
By Bus: Greyhound makes a stop at the Aurora train station on its Chicago-Des Moines-Omaha route, but the express buses will not stop there. Also, the Aurora train station is a local hub for PACE, the Chicagoland suburban bus service.
By Air: Aurora has a small municipal airport of its own, but the best way to go is to fly into one of the Chicago airports (O'Hare or Midway) and just take the train or a taxi to Aurora.
Get around
As is commonplace in the suburbs, the easiest way to get around is by car. However, PACE Bus also has extensive service in Aurora (it being Illinois's second largest city, after all), and multiple routes connect the Aurora Transportation Center with the rest of the city as well as Elgin, Geneva, St. Charles, Batavia, and Naperville.

Rgreenmedic necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.

Green Medical Training
I am the Training Director of Green Medical Training (G.M.T.), and work with a company Bay Area Expeditions (bayareaexpeditions.com). I primarily teach wilderness medicine for First Aid, First Responder, and EMT wilderness upgrade. With Bay Area Expeditions we take people on trips from 1 day to a week out in a State Parks to Bureau of Land Management. Going over survival techniques from; how to plan a trip, primitive skills, off-road vehicle techniques, and of course wilderness medical.
I have been a medic for 10 years, starting as an Airborne Infantry Medic in the Army for 6 years, a Flight Medic in Black Hawk Helicopters for 2 years, spending over 3years in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now a Flight Medic with a Sheriff's Search and Rescue Team and teaching CPR to EMT upgrade classes. I have been out of the Army for 2years now and started my Medical Training Center 1year ago, and also have been working with Bay Area Expeditions the same amount of time. Both sides are really starting to pick up and I would like a solid logo for the medical side of the program. I have not been advertising the name Green Medical Training or G.M.T., but I plan on making patches and stickers for the students to take home along with the certifications I provide. I am 30 years old and this is a dream of mine and I hope everyone reading this can help me out. Thank You!
Outdoors enthusiasts...I have advertised these medical classes on calguns.net to attract the hunters who are out in the wildernesss, the military to prior military, and the avid backpackers. We have taught from young adults to families too.
Yes somewhat broad.
This logo is to be placed on bayareaexpeditions.com website, for also making a patch to put on your jacket like you would see in tadgear.com and stickers and so on.
The attachment shows designs similar to my ideas. The contour lines of a map like tadgear as background or inside the medic star of life or cross (red cross style) could work. Tire marks in the background to represent the off roading we do. Or even a silhouette of an oak tree (being the most common tree in Northern California).
I would like it more of a box pattern like tadgear then the circle like wilderness medicine logos I attached.
In the center should be either the cross or the medic star of life (which is represented in the NOLs logo). Also either Green Medical Training in the border or in the center or even G.M.T. If it will fit bayareaexpeditions.com in small writing at the bottom of the logo mixed into the contour lines whatever creative way you can find.
Wilderness like colors, night time like theme, military colors are all possibilities. The shutterstock at night time with the tire marks has nice style to it for colors and patterns on the ground. At the same time a nice Cypress Hill style oak tree could make it happen.
Obviously I need help to put this together. Good Luck!

Indigenous people compete in traditional athletic games of endurance, strength and agility. Most events showcase skills and talents needed for hunting game such as seal or whale, in time of conflict, or the protection of their communities against the elements. The individual ethnic groups celebrate their national cultures through pageants and dances. Native arts and crafts shows.
BackgroundFor time immemorial, Native peoples of the circumpolar areas of the world have gathered in small villages to participate in games of strength, endurance, balance, and agility. Along with these athletic games, dancing, story telling, and other audience participation games took place. This provided an opportunity for friendly competition, entertainment and laughter. The hosts provided food and lodging, and visitors brought news from surrounding villages and expanded opportunities for challenge building and renewing old and new friendships. This is the background of the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics and the spirit and atmosphere that the modern games (first held in 1961) seek to replicate. The logo for the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics is six interwoven rings representing the six major tribes in Alaska - Aleut, Athabascan, Inupiaq, Yup'ik, Haida, Tlingit, and Tsimpsian.
Examples of World Eskimo-Indian Olympic Events:
Knuckle Hop or Seal Hop
This is a game of endurance to pain and a testing of strength. The object is to see how far on can go in a "push-up" position, with elbows bent and knuckles down. The only parts of the body touching the floor are knuckles and toes. From this position, the participant "hops" forward as far as possible keeping the back straight and elbows bent. This games originally was played o n the floor of a traditional community center or hut, or outside on the ground. Now, this game takes place on the arena floor.
Alaskan High Kick
This is a game of balance where the athlete sits on the floor below a target with one hand grasping the opposite foot. With his/her remaining free hand planted on the floor, the athlete springs up and attempts to kick the target with the free foot. After kicking the target, the athlete must show balance upon landing - he/she is at the original position before kicking. Height is the objective.
Ear Pull
In this event, there are two people sitting down facing each other with twine looped around each other's ear - right ear to right ear, left to left. The two begin a "tug-of-war" to see who the winner is. Best two out of three wins the match. There are times when the loop will slip off one opponent's ear - that person is the loser of that round. Each participant alternate each round using alternate ears. A game of stamina to pain, the victor demonstrates he/she can withstand pain, a trait sometimes needed to survive the harsh realities of the North.
