WS personnel recommend and conduct wildlife damage management activities to protect many types of resources, including expansive sunflower fields in the Dakotas, small vegetable gardens in suburban backyards, orchards in Oregon, pasture land and cattle in Texas, bridges, roads and airports throughout the nation, rare wetland ecosystems, threatened and endangered shorebirds, air passenger safety, and industrial facilities in towns and cities. WS personnel use an integrated wildlife damage management approach, in response to requests for assistance to protecting agriculture, natural resources, property, and human health & safety.
Agricultural Resources
Agricultural resources are those associated with farming and ranching, and associated industries. This includes livestock (e.g. sheep, cattle, calves, fowl, and swine), crops (e.g. corn, soybeans, strawberries, and pecans), rangeland and timber, aquaculture (e.g. farm raised catfish and trout), agricultural animal feed, and animal products. WS activities to protect agriculture may include predation management to protect livestock, alleviation of bird damage at aquaculture facilities, and application of integrated waterfowl and deer damage management programs to reduce crop damage

Twinkling lights on park trees and glass balls hung in shop windows, little by little it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in New York City! I know some people can be a bit Grinch-y about the commercialism of the holiday season, but it's hard to resist the special feeling of Christmas in the city. It's contagious!
Inspired by this burgeoning holiday cheer, we're starting to feather our holiday nests with these lovely felt ornaments. Laura designed an elegant 3-dimensional Felt Star that will look equally beautiful hung from a doorway or perched atop a tree. And Molly designed a set of graceful Felt Snow Ball Ornaments that will add a playful Christmas feeling to your tree or mantle.
Felt is our favorite ornament-making material because it's soft, natural, and so easy. Ecru is especially lovely because it's peaceful, classic, and reminiscent of a fresh blanket of snow. And to add a little holiday sparkle we accented our ornaments with the beautiful new DMC's Silver Metallic Embroidery Floss. -Laura
PS: The how-to's for Molly's Snow Ball Ornaments are right here. And Merry Christmas!
To make one 8-inch, one 10 1/2-inch and one 13-inch Felt Star Pendant or just one 18-inch Felt Star Pendant:
- 4 18-inch squares of Wollfilz's 1mm Precut Wool Felt in the color Ecru
- 2 hanks of DMC's Silver Metallic Embroidery Floss
- 100% Cotton Thread to match the felt, I used Gutermann 1040
- You will also need some pins and a pencil
This star can be made in 4 sizes: Small (8-inches across), Medium (10 2/2-inches across), Large (13-inches across), and X-Large (18-inches across). Cut the felt according to the size you want to make:
- Small: Cut two 6-inch squares and two 5 1/2-inch squares.
- Medium: Cut two 8-inch squares and two 7 1/2-inch squares.
- Large: Cut two 10-inch squares and two 9 1/4-inch squares.
- X-Large: Cut two 14-inch squares and two 13-inch squares.
Place the smaller of your two pairs of squares to the side for now.
Using a pencil, on one of the larger squares of felt, mark a dot half way from the middle of each edge to the center of the square.
If you are making the Small Star this would be 1 1/2-inches from the middle of each edge, for the Medium it would be 2-inches, for the Large it would be 2 1/2-inches and for the X-Large Star, it would be 3 1/2-inches.
Repeat for the second of the larger squares.
Fold and Pin
Fold and pin the marked squares in half so that their marked marked sides are facing out.
Using the cotton thread, sew along the folded edge with a whip stitch, from pencil mark to pencil mark. This will create a ridge. Repeat for the second square.
Fold the two larger squares in half again, this time in the opposite direction, perpendicular to the previously sewn ridge.
Once again, using the cotton thread, sew along the folded edge of each square with a whip stitch, from pencil mark to pencil mark. This will create a second ridge.
Flip the squares over so that the ridges you just created are facing down. Fold the squares in half diagonally, aligning the corners, finger press the fold and pin.
Using 3 of the 6 plys of the the metallic embroidery floss, sew along the folded edge using a whip stitch. Start approximately 1/4-inch from the point and stop approximately 1/4-inch from the opposite point.
Fold the squares in the opposite diagonal direction, finger press the fold and pin. Once again, using the metallic embroidery floss, sew along the fold with a whip stitch. Start 1/4-inch from one end of the fold and stop 1/4-inch shy of the other end. These are the Front Star Pieces
Cut the Star Shapes
Flip the felt over so the marked side is facing up. Cut the felt from each pencil mark to the adjacent corners.
Now, on the pair of smaller squares, use a pencil to draw a line down the center of both squares in both directions.
Make a mark 1 3/4-inches for the Small, 2 1/2-inches for the Medium, 3-inches for the Large and 4 1/2-inches for the X-Large, from each edge along the drawn centerlines.
Cut the felt from each pencil mark to the adjacent corners. These are the Back Star Pieces.
Sew Together
Align the corners and pin one of the Back Star Pieces to the a Front Star Piece at all four corners. Repeat for the other set of Back and Front pieces.
Using 1 strand of the metallic thread and starting in a corner, sew along all 8 sizes of one of these pinned together pieces with a whip stitch thus sewing the back piece to the front piece. Do this with Front Star Piece facing you.
Repeat for the other pinned together set of Back and Front pieces.
Orient the two sewn pieces together with flat sides facing one another, so that all eight points of the two pieces are evenly spaced at 45-degree angles from one another. Using the cotton thread, take a few stitches at each of the 8 corners to sew the two pieces together.
If you'd like to hang your Felt Star, using the cotton thread, metallic thread or invisible thread and a needle, pull a strand through one of the points of your star. Cut and tie it off at your desired length to hang your star on a tree or in a doorway or over your dinner table!
Or, to use this Star as a tree topper, simply leave the Star without a string and place it on top of your tree, gently sliding the top branch between two of the sewn points connecting the two star halves.

New York-based rapper and producer Le1f, who is openly gay, took to Twitter last week to sound off on rapper Macklemore, who won two Moonman Awards at the 2013 MTV Video Awards, nabbing one award for his gay marriage song, "Same Love," for Best Video With a Social Message.
"That time that straight white dude ripped off my song then made a video about gay interracial love and made a million dollars," Le1f, born Khalif Diouf, tweeted. The song Le1f refers to is Macklemore's smash hit "Thrift Shop," not "Same Love."
"Same Love," which featuring vocals from Mary Lambert, has become a hit, peaking at number 11 on Billboard this year, though it was released last summer. Though Le1f has taken issue with the track, a number of critics have praised the song, including the Guardian, which wrote that the cut was "a far cry from the cheese-fest that usually puts commercial interest first, tenuous rhyming couplets second and poignancy last." Rock critic Robert Christagu placed the song as one of the top 10 singles of 2012.
"do proceeds go to any gay people? the HRC? Aids foundation? or does this straight white man keep the money?" Le1f asked during his Twitter rant. "I'm gonna write a song about disabled people, or about the aboriginal struggle. cuz mama needs a new fur coat. oh wait, that's evil."
Macklemore, who also won a VMA award for Best Hip-Hop video, and his producer Ryan Lewis, are straight but have been allies of the LGBT community for some time and have condemned anti-gay language often used in rap.
"Misogyny and homophobia are the two acceptable means of oppression in hip hop culture. It's 2012," Macklemore said. "There needs to be some accountability. I think that as a society we're evolving, and I think that hip-hop has always been a representation of what's going on in the world right now."
Last November Mackelmore explained to the Associated Press how the song helped shaped views when it comes to LGBT rights.
"To hear people's testimonials about 'Same Love' changing the way that they feel about gay people or the language that they use in their everyday life, making them consider changing that language, or changing their hateful perspective on another group of people, it's exciting to see that music has that capability," he said. "It just affirms what you already believe, but to see it on a tangible level in these cities has been one of the greatest gifts of my career."
The duo also teamed up with the You Can Play campaign, which attempts to eliminate homophobia in sports, music and entertainment.
"You know someone who's gay, they just haven't told you yet," Macklemore says in a YouTube video for the organization. "Don't let being gay hold you back, and if you're straight, do not hold others back... Anti-gay language has no place in sports, or music."
Nevertheless, Le1f believes "Same Love" isn't going to help LGBT youth to come out.
"gay kids don't come out cuz of Macklemore vids. they come out to Bjork concerts YA DIG??" Le1f tweeted before making fun of some of the lyrics in "Same Love."
"it's awesome that money went to the right place! it saddens me out that a straight man is the voice pop music has chosen for gay rights," he wrote.
He went on to say that Macklemore ripped off his song "Wut" for his hit single "Thrift Shop."
"at the end of the day, i openly have no respect for any artists ripping from other artists, so blatantly."
Check out Le1f's video for "Wut" and Macklemore's "Same Love" below:

Met with Randy and Paul. Good enough session, and what we thought was a reasonable level of interest/understanding. They had some good feedback, but next step was "come back when you have sold it X times". Not unreasonable of course, but we would have liked to see more of a level of engagement. We decided to pass on following up with them because we didn't feel enough passion communicated and by the time we hit the milestone they set we were much further along with other conversations.PRIVATE: Members Only (256 Characters)

Ruth Slavid books into Safdie Architects' surreal Marina Bay Sands hotel in Singapore, the venue for this and next year's World Architecture Festivals. Photography by Timothy Hursley
It is 100 years since the emergence of the skyscraper,' Moshe Safdie tells delegates at the World Architecture Festival, held in Singapore at the beginning of October, 'but we still have no idea how to deploy them to create urban place.'
He also argues that megastructure is the greatest challenge for the rapidly growing cities of Asia. His talk is lent added poignancy by the fact that it is taking place within the conference centre at Marina Bay Sands, a piece of urban megastructure designed by Safdie's own practice, Safdie Architects.
The most immediately visible element of Marina Bay Sands is the eponymous hotel, a standout event even in a city of towers, by virtue of its three 55-storey blocks, joined at the top by one of the world's most theatrical building gestures, the 1 ha Skypark, complete with a 150m-long swimming pool, trumpeted as the world's highest infinity pool. One entire side appears to hover above the city, the trough beyond the edge only becoming visible when you are less than a metre away.
A photographer is employed at the pool to take those vital snaps for users scared of getting their cameras wet, and visitor tickets are sold to the Skypark, although they do not include access to the swimming pool, for which there are no changing facilities. So, whatever its wonders, this is certainly not a public space, and there are even degrees of privacy, with the best bar restricted most of the time to the use of those who are staying in suites and club class rooms.
In general, the hotel is successful in its own terms. Ordinary guests stay in the deluxe rooms of Tower 3 (in a facility like this there is no level below deluxe) while the suites in Tower 1 and Tower 2 contain club class rooms plus a spa and gym. The rooms are generous, the showers are good, and there are balconies. These vary in width going up the building, as the towers are not vertical but bend over slightly. None is generous enough for a table and chairs, but this does not matter, as Singapore's climate is not one in which people would choose to sit out. Temperatures range from a typical 24°C at night to about 30°C in daytime and humidity is always high. It is always more comfortable to be indoors with air conditioning, provided it is not too violent.
The balconies do have plants, uniform rows of dwarf bougainvillea. A team of three in each tower is charged with their maintenance, working on two floors a day, so that they can service the entire tower in a month. They use a large plastic tub to climb over the glass balustrade, but do then hook themselves on before hoeing and clipping.
The lobby between the splayed legs of the frame is huge, just one of the factors that made this an engineering tour de force for Arup. It has the flavour of an airport terminal, though the food is better, with massive restaurants offering such choice at breakfast the appetite tends to wither. If it all feels impersonal, this is not surprising, given there are 2,560 rooms in total. And the hotel is just the tip of the iceberg.
This is not just a hotel development but a huge piece of city, an integrated resort developed by the US Las Vegas Sands Corporation, whose properties include the Venetian in Vegas, a gambling resort on the site of an old steelworks in Pennsylvania and several huge hotels in Macau. The casino at Marina Bay Sands is decidedly aimed at foreigners. Only real high-rollers from Singapore would not be discouraged by the gambling levy of $100 for 24 hours, or $2,000 dollars for the year, that Singaporeans have to pay. Everyone else gets in free.
The hotel is designed as a resort, albeit one that is located close up against the central business district, on reclaimed land and overlooking the equally eye-catching Gardens by the Bay by Wilkinson Eyre. The total cost of the development was US$5.7 billion (£3.5 billion). It includes the casino, a conference centre, a retail centre of more than 74,000m² quaintly called the Shoppes, two theatres, a museum of art and science shaped like a giant hand and, apparently, an event plaza with room for 10,000 people. There are also two 'crystal pavilions' in the dock to the rear of the scheme, one containing a Louis Vuitton store and the other a nightclub. Both of these are reached from underground (or under water in this case).
And that is one of the problems. It makes sense to house a coach terminal for hotel guests below ground, but visitors are perpetually going up and down escalators to get from the hotel to the metro or the shopping centre or the conference centre. Busy roads sandwich the hotel and crossings are scarce. Singaporeans like to shun the heat, but perpetually having to duck below ground and walk past shops is disorientating. I stayed at Marina Bay Sands for five nights, and was still getting lost at the end of my stay. Bizarrely, one of the few incentives to travel above ground level is on the link to Wilkinson Eyre's Gardens by the Bay.
This, one of two pedestrian routes, passes through the hotel at fourth floor level (an alternative route is, of course, underground) but is not accessible from inside the hotel. It can be reached from the shopping centre, providing the escalators are running in the right direction, but otherwise the only access is via an outdoor lift behind a bus stop.
The shopping centre does taper down to a single storey and then open onto the waterside. 'We latched onto the idea of a promenade beside the water, a spine of urban life, which all development hangs onto,' Safdie says. The route is well-used by joggers in the early evening, but the restaurants opening onto the space are poorly patronised, in contrast to the thriving food court within the centre arranged around - what else? - an ice rink. Equally incongruous is a short canal on the lowest floor, complete with boats for hire in a very approximate homage to Venice.
Despite these quirks and generous planting, it all feels rather corporate and bland and hermetic. Even a giant metal artwork by Anthony Gormley, probably the length of a couple of cars, suspended above the atrium in the hotel seems to disappear into insignificance. It is part of an ambitious public art programme, more impressive in theory than practice. But the development is certainly popular, and thronged with visitors, even if those perpetually filing past the shops don't look particularly happy.
For Safdie this is part of his effort to redefine the Habitat housing he designed for the Montreal Expo in 1967. That became iconic but not influential and, when Safdie revisited it, he concluded that it was not dense enough and too expensive. He is building out his response in several cities, with Marina Bay Sands an early example. In Chongqing, he has designed a mixed-use development even bigger than Marina Bay Sands, with not three, but six towers joined at high level. There, too, the climate is brutal, though in a different manner, and Safdie has also introduced an enclosed complex part-way up the megastructure.
'We are building today at a size, scale and a density we never have before,' Safdie says. His designs seek to humanise megastructures and building at this scale. He may not be entirely successful, but he is to be applauded for not shirking the challenge.

Public angst over the abuse of painkillers is overshadowing what Canadian researchers say is an even more pressing problem: the nation's growing love affair with sleeping pills.
The number of prescriptions dispensed for benzodiazepines and other sedatives jumped to more than 20 million in 2011, from 16.4 million in 2006, according to market research firm IMS Brogan.
Use of one drug alone — zopiclone, one of the so-called "Z" drugs — nearly doubled over the same period, from 2.9 million prescriptions, to five million in 2011.
Prescriptions are mounting as new and controversial research from Canada and the U.S. is tying sleeping pills to an elevated risk of an early death.
The drugs are intended for occasional, short-term use only, but observers say it's not uncommon for doctors to hand over prescriptions for a month's supply, with six or 12 repeats, increasing the risk of dependence and, in the case of benzodiazepines, potentially "horrendous" withdrawal.
"People who start these drugs need to know that you could end up in a long-term medical adventure," said Canadian drug policy researcher Alan Cassels.
Yet the use of benzodiazepines and other drugs prescribed for sleep is even more deeply ingrained in our culture than the use of opioids, said Deborah Cumming, national priority adviser at the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse. The pills have become so ubiquitous, so normalized, that some say they are like the new Aspirin.
"When you look at the types of prescription drugs that are commonly abused or have abuse potential, it's sedatives and tranquillizers," said Cumming.
Women and the elderly — the people most vulnerable to the side effects — are the highest users. Women are also drinking more, making for a potentially lethal multi-drug mix.
"I think the sort of party chatter is, 'Well, if I can't sleep I'll just have a sleeping pill tonight' as they're downing their fourth glass of red wine," said Anne Rochon Ford, executive director of the Canadian Women's Health Network. "It doesn't seem to set of any alarm bells for a lot of people, and that's very disturbing.
"We've become fixated on, 'I must have X number of hours of sleep or I will not be functional tomorrow.' So there's this panic that sets in if they're not getting this sleep, and they think, 'Oh my god, I better take a pill.'
"We've become such a sped-up society, and medication has become an easy solution."
Canadians are not only being increasingly prescribed traditional sleep drugs, but powerful antipsychotics once reserved for schizophrenia and mania are now also being used for the treatment of insomnia. The drugs — so-called "atypical antipsychotics", a class that includes quetiapine (Seroquel) and olanzapine (Zyprexa) — can cause rapid and substantial weight gain, as well as abnormal fat and glucose regulation, increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The drugs are heavy-hitting tranquillizers that should never be used for insomnia unless the patient has an underlying major psychiatric disorder, sleep specialists say.
"To pull those out as a treatment for insomnia is some kind of desperation," said Dr. Rachel Morehouse, professor in the department of psychiatry at Dalhousie University in Halifax and medical director of the Atlantic Sleep Centre.
"It's like hitting a bird on a wire with a cannonball."
Sleeping pills, which depress brain function, should be used only in emergencies — no more than two weeks at a time, said Cassels, of the University of Victoria.
But in 2002, researchers in B.C. reported that benzodiazepines, as well as the newer Z drugs — zopiclone and zaleplon — were being prescribed to thousands of residents in amounts 10 times higher than recommended. About four per cent of the population of B.C. — about 170,000 people — received more than 100 pills in 2002.
Extrapolated across the country, "that would be about 1.3 million Canadians in 2002," Cassels said. "Now it has to be much, much more."
The IMS data shows that the number of zopiclone prescriptions is growing at twice the rate of prescriptions for lorazepam, a benzodiazepine drug.
When Z drugs reached the market in the late half of the 1980s, they were promoted as being less addictive than benzodiazepines. Though chemically different, zopiclone binds to the same receptors by boosting the effect of a brain chemical called gamma-amino butyric acid. The acid acts as the body's "natural tranquillizer" by telling neurons to slow down.
Dr. James MacFarlane, an assistant professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the University of Toronto, said zopiclone is more specific in its effects, and therefore has fewer side effects, and that its addiction potential is "extremely small," if it exists at all.
But Cassels said doctors are switching to the Z drugs under the false impression that, "since it's not technically a benzo, it must be safer."
A 2007 article in the journal Canadian Family Physician concluded that doctors should have the same concerns with prescribing zopiclone as they would with putting a patient on a benzodiazepine, noting that the drug has become "well known" in addict circles (in the U.K. it goes by the street name "zim-zims") and that some patients might be at risk of dependence, especially after prolonged use.
More alarming, a study published this year in the British Medical Journal linked sleeping pills with a greater than threefold increased risk of death over an average 2.5 years of followup — even among patients prescribed as few as four to 18 pills a year. The "hazards of hypnotics" were seen in every age group, the researchers reported, adding that the "meagre benefits" of the drugs don't justify the "substantial risks."
tranquillizers and sleeping pills can impair motor and cognitive skills required for actions such as driving, they said. The drugs have been linked with an increase in car crashes and falls due to "hangover" effects. The drugs also can increase breathing problems during sleep. Some studies suggest they increase the risk of depression and suicide.
But MacFarlane, director of education and a clinical consultant at MedSleep, a network of sleep clinics, called the findings disturbing and "very premature." MacFarlane said it's absurd to suggest that even those who took as few as 18 pills a year had increased mortality. "It's impossible. (If it were true), then it's poison. Are you telling me that someone who takes two zopiclone tablets has an increased risk of dying?"
The study cannot prove cause-and-effect, just an association, "and it could be anything," MacFarlane said. "It could be a common factor in that population that has nothing to do with the meds," suggesting it's an indication of something larger going on.
Still, MacFarlane says sleep specialists are urging GPs across Canada to prescribe the drugs more judiciously, and that non-drug approaches, including cognitive behaviour therapy — which includes changing the psychological problems that perpetuate insomnia, such as excessive worry — should be among the first-line treatments.
If a sleeping pill is tried, and the patient doesn't respond, "you really have to dig a bit deeper to try to find out what's really going on," adds Morehouse, of Dalhousie University and Memorial University of Newfoundland.
"Is the patient depressed? Is the patient addicted to something? Is there an unbelievable psychosocial nightmare happening in their life?"
We also need to question the urge to reach for a chemical fix in a society where many of us, she said, are sleep-deprived and running on fumes.
"There's this underlying anxiety with the economic crisis — we're all wearing four and five different hats — and there's this constant level of anxiety," added Cumming, of the Centre on Substance Abuse.
"We're a pill popping nation," she said. Instead of slowing things down and looking at ways to improve sleep, "we'll just take a little pill."

In the realm of local pizza chains, Portland's got a few: Pizza Schmizza, Hot Lips, and Pizzicato spring most readily to mind. I'm naturally inclined to expect pizza below the caliber of Portland's best from them, but considering the franchising and sheer volume these chains put out, I don't think that's unreasonable.
Sometimes, though, you just don't feel like waiting in line for pizza.
This was the case last night when I was craving pizza but really wasn't up to the physical drain that came with waiting for a table at the uber-popular Ken's Artisan. No, last night was all about picking up the phone, calling my local Pizzicato (only a few blocks away!) and ordering a large cheese pizza ($17) which I could pick up in only 20 minutes.
Pizzicato was established in Portland in 1989 (good year for music!) and has since blossomed to 23 locations, including one in Denver, Colorado of all places. Pizzas come in small (10"), medium (12"), and large (16") sizes, and often come with a wide variety of toppings, such as barbecued chicken, artichoke hearts, and garlic-marinated shrimp. Tonight, though, I stuck with the simple plain pie. As soon as I got it home I flipped open the box, snapped a few shots, then dug in while it was still hot.
It becomes pretty clear early on that Pizzicato is striving to replicate a NY slice with their pies. The crust is dense, chewy on the inside but crispy on the outside, and dusted with cornmeal, presumable to slide it into and out of the gas-heated ovens more easily. I don't really walk into places like Pizzicato expecting char, and apart from some browning on the bottom of the pizza, there isn't any. No matter; char is hardly necessary on a NY-style slice.
The tangy, heavily-salted tomato sauce hides beneath a layer of salty aged mozzarella, salty grated parmesan, and what the Pizzicato menu calls "herbs," which as far as I could tell consisted primarily of finely-chopped bits of parsley and maybe some oregano. Tough to say, as the herbs held virtually no flavor as far as I could tell.
So how does it taste? Decent, actually. Nothing amazing by any stretch of the imagination, but a pretty standard NY-style slice nonetheless. I've had better, and I've had worse. As you may have surmised, the pizza is a tad on the salty side, but that's a good thing, because without the salt this pizza probably wouldn't taste like anything. The dough used for the crust is almost completely devoid of flavor, standard for this type of pizza. I had mistakenly presumed it was mass-produced in a Pizzicato warehouse somewhere, but an employee (see the comments below) informed me that it's actually made fresh everyday, which I do appreciate.
That's really all I have to say about it. It's hardly the worst pizza in town, and if you're throwing a party and need some pies to feed the hungry masses, Pizzicato is more than up to the task, though I do think they charge a bit much for what they're offering. Okay, yes, they overcharge. I haven't tried Hot Lips or Pizza Schmizza yet, but once I have, I'll decide which is the best of the local chains. Until then, I have some leftover slices to attend to...

Liam Hemsworth was unable to attend the 2019 Grammys with wife Miley Cyrus after reportedly falling ill. The Isn't It Romantic actor missed a press junket and the awards show after landing in the hospital.
Isn't It Romantic costar Rebel Wilson told reporters at the film's junket in Beverly Hills that the actor wasn't feeling well.
"He's texted us this morning. He was in hospital overnight, so hopefully he will be fine," costar Wilson revealed during an interview with Extra on Sunday, February 10. A rep for Warner Brothers confirmed to People that Hemsworth was indeed not feeling well and had to miss the press day on Sunday.
The actor has been busy as late, promoting the film in various locations.
In his absence, Miley walked the Grammys red carpet with parents Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus . The songstress stole the show at the Grammys, performing alongside both Shawn Mendes and Dolly Parton .
Hemsworth and Miley tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Nashville this past December. The newlywed revealed on Live With Kelly and Ryan on Friday, February 8, that the "We Can't Stop" singer took his last name after their wedding.
"[She is] Miley Ray Hemsworth now, actually," he said. "She will still be obviously known as Miley Cyrus, but she took my name, which is great," he adorably shared. "… She was like, 'No, of course I'm taking your name.'"

This morning I caught part of a CBS interview with actor Edward Norton. I didn't know about this before today, but he and Brad Pitt are developing a ten-part HBO miniseries based on Undaunted Courage, the bestselling account of the Lewis and Clark expedition by Stephen Ambrose. Apparently it's been in the works for some time. Check out this release from last summer.
I headed over to the Internet Movie Database to see if I could find anything on this project. I didn't, but I did run across one interesting bit of trivia. It turns out Norton has a B.A. in history from Yale.
Some of the best historical productions of the past few years have been developed for TV, and the miniseries format is perfect for large-scale epics. This ought to be well worth watching.

Meatball Choking Death Leads To Preschool Lawsuit
The Insurance Journal recently ran a story that I am sure going to be following into the future. The story involves a lawsuit filed in Oregon by the parents of a 3 1/2-year-old girl who choked on a meatball during lunch at preschool. The child experienced respiratory and cardiac arrest and died the next day. The parents have alleged that the preschool failed to properly observe and supervise the child during lunch. Over the last couple of years, we have represented two preschool children who have suffered serious injuries to their upper extremities — one's hand crushed by a collapsed folding table and the other losing the tip of a finger when it was caught on the hinge side of a closing door. In all three cases, injuries (and death in the Oregon case) could have been avoided if daycare staff had simply done their jobs and stayed attentive to the children they were being paid to educate and supervise. For example, it seems reasonable to have a staff member closely monitoring children while they eat in order to make sure that none of the children choke. In the event that a child appeared to be choking, it would seem reasonable for a staff member to be close enough (and attentive enough) to render aid. Of course, this assumes that the preschool is being properly staffed for student/teacher ratio to begin with. Even momentary lapses in concentration can have tragic consequences when it comes to small children. Every parent knows this. Every worker at a preschool or daycare should know this, too. If you have any questions following an incident at a preschool or daycare, call Winter Park personal injury attorneys Kim Cullen and Robert Hemphill at...Read More »

|Ludovic Bagman
|Biographical information
|Blood status
|Also known as

|Family information
|Family members
- Bagman: "... if I can help at all... a prod in the right direction... I've taken a liking to you... the way you got past that dragon!... Well just say the word."
- Harry: "We're supposed to work out the clues alone, aren't we?"
- — Ludo Bagman and Harry Potter[src]
Ludovic "Ludo" Bagman was a wizard and Ministry of Magic employee. During his career at the Ministry, Ludo rose to the post of Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. His career at the Ministry ended in mid-1995, when he had to go on the run from goblins, against whom he had lost several bets. Before working at the Ministry, he was a Beater for the Quidditch team the Wimbourne Wasps and English national team. He has a brother named Otto. He also tends to play dirty when gambling and betting as he tries to find loop holes or even pay in fake money/gold.
First Wizarding WarEdit
After Lord Voldemort fell from power, Ludo was put on trial before the Council of Magical Law for giving information about the Ministry to the Death Eater Augustus Rookwood. According to Ludo, he did not know that Rookwood was a Death Eater. Rookwood had been a friend of Ludo's father and had persuaded Ludo into giving him the information by talking about getting Ludo a job at the Ministry. Barty Crouch attempted to place Bagman in Azkaban for this exchange of information for a certain amount of time, but much to Crouch's annoyance, Ludo was cleared of all charges, partly due to being a popular Quidditch player; one witch within the jury, in fact, stood up and congratulated Bagman for his impressive play in the previous Quidditch match, with the others cheering him. Ludo was never accused of allegiance with Death Eaters again.
Quidditch World CupEdit
Despite Mr. Crouch's low opinion of Ludo, Ludo soon got a job at the Ministry as head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports.
Ludo took part in organising the Quidditch World Cup of 1994.[1] He was quite reckless in terms of security, and did not bother dressing in Muggle clothing for the event. Ludo's position with the Ministry only fuelled his serious addiction to gambling—he took bets, for instance, before the cup started with Fred and George for the result of the final, in the amount of thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen Sickles, and three Knuts plus a joke wand. He was bankrupt after the World Cup and tried to trick his creditors by paying them with leprechaun gold. The twins therefore stalked Bagman for the entire school year, trying to get their money, and later realised their attempts were unsuccessful. Ludo commentated during the World Cup using the spell Sonorus.
After the Cup ended, Ludo was cornered by a group of goblins in the forest near the stadium. Ludo had borrowed a large amount of gold from the goblins but never paid them back. The goblins stripped Ludo of all the money he had on him and left, not yet realising that the money wasn't enough to pay the debt. Ludo wandered around the forest, completely unaware that the camp was being terrorised by a group of Death Eaters.
The Triwizard TournamentEdit
His position as head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports meant that, in 1994,[HP4] Ludo, along with Barty Crouch Sr., organised and judged the Triwizard Tournament. Together, they worked hard to ensure that none of the Champions would find themselves in "mortal danger".
When at Hogwarts, the Goblins tracked Ludo down to get the rest of the gold he owed them, but he could not pay them, as he had lost most of his money gambling.
Meanwhile, Fred and George thought that Bagman gave them the Leprechaun gold by mistake and tried gently prodding him throughout the year but Bagman ignored their letters and made up excuses. Eventually, Bagman "turned nasty" and told the Weasley twins that they're too young to gamble and that they won't get anything back. Fred and George found out about Bagman's debts through Lee Jordan, whose father had also been swindled. Fred considered informing the Ministry of Bagman's activities whereas George argued that it was blackmail.
When Harry Potter's name was drawn out of the Goblet of Fire, Ludo Bagman appeared delighted, and he was the first person to inform the other three champions that Harry was now a participant. Ludo planned to pay the Goblins by betting that Harry would win the Triwizard Tournament. Ludo thus did his best in helping Harry to win, but Harry always refused his "few pointers", as he thought taking advice from Ludo amounted to cheating.
Just before the first task, Bagman took Harry aside and asked him if he wanted "a few pointers" for getting past the Hungarian Horntail; however, Harry refused this information. During the task, Bagman took the role of commentator, and was very impressed at Harry's flying skills around the dragon. He gave Harry full ten points despite the champion being injured, and was furious at Karkaroff for being biased against Harry.
Later, in January of 1995[1] Bagman was again cornered by the Goblins, who looked "rather menacing", in Hogsmeade at The Three Broomsticks. When he saw Harry there, he offered him his help in the Triwizard Tournament, but Harry refused and asked Ludo what the Goblins were up to. Ludo made up a story about the Goblins searching for Barty Crouch Sr.
For the final task, Bagman had the sole responsibility of showing the champions the maze which had been constructed on the school Quidditch pitch (since Mr. Crouch was apparently "sick"). He attempted to offer Harry help for the third time, but was interrupted by Viktor Krum.
The Triwizard Tournament ended with Harry winning, but being tied with Cedric Diggory, who was killed. The Goblins refused to admit Ludo won the bet, saying that Harry did not win, but was tied with Cedric. Ludo went on the run shortly after the third task.
Life on the runEdit
What happened to Bagman after that is unknown, but during Harry's hearing for using magic outside of school in the subsequent year, his name came up in reference. When Harry told them that he used magic to drive away Dementors that were attacking him at Magnolia Crescent, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge stated that "even Bagman wouldn't bet...". Also, due to Bagman cheating the goblins out of his debt and running away, the Order of the Phoenix had difficulty earning their trust.[2] He probably went into exile for a while, and obviously lost his post at the ministry, but it is unknown if he debtors ever caught him.
Personality and traitsEdit
Bagman was once accused of passing information to Death Eater Augustus Rookwood the first time Lord Voldemort was powerful. He was never convicted, and it is likely that if he did pass any information to Rookwood, he did so innocently, not knowing Rookwood was working for Voldemort.
It is worth mentioning, however, that at least two people in 1994 suspected him of foul play, or at least mistrusted him: both Rita Skeeter (unreliable though she is) and Barty Crouch Jr. (masquerading as Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody) mentioned this in the presence of Harry, Ron and Hermione. Rita Skeeter says to Hermione: "I know things about Ludo Bagman that would make your hair curl - not that it needs it." This is likely a reference to the aforementioned accusation of passing information to Rookwood.
Bagman was seen as a genuinely nice person to all who knew him. However, he had a weakness for gambling which put a financial strain on him. (He might have originally borrowed off the Goblins to pay off gambling debts). As George Weasley stated: "He's lost everything gambling." He could also turn very nasty when it came to paying his losses, as he used worthless Leprechaun gold to pay, and refused to pay real money when the winners came to him. He also attempted to cheat at certain times when he was in a desperate situation, such as helping Harry during the Tournament, despite being forbidden to do so. Ludo gone as far as running away after losing his final bet against his goblin creditors, which resulted in them refusing to side with humans during the Second Wizarding War.[2]
Magical abilities and skillsEdit
- Quidditch: Ludo was a famous beater for the Wimbourne Wasps, as he was said to be the best they ever had.
- Apparation: He was at least sufficient at apparating.
- Ludovic was a Latinised of the French royal name, Louis. Ludovic is from Gaelic for "devotee of the Lord." "Ludo" is Latin for "I play", part of the verb ludere.
- In British slang, a bagman is a travelling salesman. Ludo was a secret gambler who threw away his money.
- In American criminal slang, a bagman is a go-between who picks up or delivers money, usually bribes given by a crime family to the police. Ludo, of course, is constantly handling money as he makes his bets, and tries to fix the outcome of the Triwizard tournament with little offers of "help" in the right direction. This could also reflect his role as a (perhaps unknowing) go-between for the Death Eaters, passing information to Augustus Rookwood during the First Wizarding War.
Behind the scenesEdit
- The part of Ludo Bagman was omitted from the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and his announcing of the Quidditch World Cup of 1994 was done by the Minister for Magic at the time, which was Cornelius Fudge. The warnings and the directions for each task of the Triwizard Tournament were given to the champions by Dumbledore rather than Bagman.

Now in its second year, Gripple's annual Sports Day is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year for our employees. A day where our UK business stops production to take part in a range of light-hearted (for some more than others..!) sporting activities…with a twist!
This year's activities included running while wearing scuba diving fins, a tug of war and a three legged race.
When the sporting competition reaches its climax, everyone heads back to our social space, GLIDE House for food and drink. 2017's event saw the introduction of a 'dunk the director' activity which proved very popular..!

"I don't know about the organization," Guillen responded on Wednesday, when asked if he was feeling the heat with that decision now. "Myself, I know he's going to hit. Maybe the fans do. Maybe the media does. I really don't put attention to that. I don't. He had big hits for a lot of people. He had big hits for us. I don't put any attention to that. I don't.

If you're on a clenbuterol cycle, you've probably run into Balkan pharma clen.
Clenbuterol is a popular choice for bodybuilders to use as an alternative to, or as part of, a steroid cycle.
It's not a steroid, it's a Beta-2 Sympathomitetic and stimulant to the central nervous system.
In English: It raises the body's core temperature, making it easier to burn through calories.Sotib olaman Clenbutrol onlayn Bu erda.
Fat Zarari
Ishlash-mans taqdim
If you've been looking for where to buy clenbuterol, you've probably read of people getting scammed with fake pills.
People have been known to sell sugar pills and who-knows-what with Balkan pharmaceuticals logos stamped on it.
Balkan pharmaceuticals does sell clen, but seeing the B|P stamped on one side of your clen pills does not necessarily mean that it's real or fake.
Bundan tashqari, it's not hard to find a Balkan pharmaceuticals review pointing out that point out that they have become one of the best labs around for safe, affordable pharmaceuticals.
Balkan pharmaceuticals can be trusted and they do make clenbuterol, the question is whether or not that Balkan clenbuterol 40mcg tab you bought is the real deal.
Here's the thing about clenbuterol: it doesn't really get prescribed in the US and the UK because other drugs are deemed more effective.
You might not be able to buy Bolqon Pharma clen ekanligini from their website and have them shipped to you depending on laws regarding mailing pharmaceuticals.
For the same reason, you're likely to get in big trouble if you try to carry a case of prescription antibiotics across the border.
Shu sabablarga ko'ra, you might come across many Balkan Pharmaceutical fakes.
Some of the scams you have to look out for when it comes to clenbuterol for sale are simply being overcharged.
afsuski, the leading bodibilding forumlar have rules against price-listing for things like clen, so it's not always easy to figure out the fair price for pharmaceuticals.
Balkan pharmaceuticals' official website has them listed at thirty bucks for sixty 40mcg tabs, so it's not the priciest workout-helper on the market.
The website even has sales from time to time listing them for considerably less than that, but at full price it comes out to about fifty cents USD a pill.
If you cannot buy them directly from the manufacturer for any reason, or if you don't need them in bulk, then you are at the mercy of the aftermarket, albatta, and you have to take into consideration your seller's costs and labor and so on.
But if someone's asking five bucks a tab, you can probably find someone else who will sell them for cheaper.
If you're really unsure as to whether the stuff you've gotten your hands on is legitimate clenbuterol, give it a taste. The real stuff should have a slightly minty flavor to it.
This flavor is most pronounced if you're using liquid clen, but it should be present in pills, shuningdek.
Clen is used in microdoses as it's pretty potent stuff, so be careful not to test too much of it if you're using liquid.
Dab a little on your finger and give it a taste. You might think it's unlikely that someone's going to try to sell you fake clen, but it does happen, so it might be worth a quick taste test if you're not 100% sure.
If you're getting ready to start a Balkan Pharma Clen cycle, you generally want to do one week on, one week off.
It's a heavy-duty fat burner, with some reporting losing thirty pounds in less than two months.
It's tempting to want to just keep pumping away and watch the pounds fall away, but you have to be careful when you're seeing results a little too quickly.
Your body can only handle so much before your thyroid goes crazy, so take your time, be patient, and do your research before you start.
Clen's side effects include anxiety, oshdi ishtahasi, bosh og'rig'i, muscular tremors and cramps, insomnia and high blood pressure.
These side effects don't manifest in everybody who takes them, but you should be careful with clen if you have any cardiac issues.
Your best bet, as with any pharmaceutical, is to try it before you commit to it. See how one tab affects you throughout your workout, and if you feel fine, go ahead and make it part of your cycle.
When using clen, you generally want to avoid cardio, as you're already going to be running a high body temperature and you don't want to catch a fever.
Stick to fat burning exercises, low-intensity, stamina-testing workouts like the elliptical machine or walking.
You'll want to drink a lot of water, shuningdek, since clen helps to burn fat by literally raising your body temperature, which can dry you out pretty quickly.
Many clen users combine it with Balkan pharmaceuticals anavar. It's up to you to figure out what your stack looks like.
Some people use clen to burn extra pounds, others use it in their cutting stages, or to keep extra fat down while adding mass.
If you're using Balkan Pharma clen as a workout aid, make sure to do your research in order to determine how best to arrange your pharmaceutical regimen to help you to get the body you want.DilaterolOxibronOxyflux clenbuterolAlpha Pharma Astralean clenbuterolHelios clenbuterolMeditech clenbuterolBolqon farmatsevtika clenbuterolBolqon Pharma clen ekanliginiPulmonilPulmonil clenbuterolKlen 60clen ekanligini BrontelClenbulolClenbunalClenbutaplexClenbutaxylClenbuterleneclenbuterol Brandsclenbuterol Brontelclenbuterol SopharmaClan Lavizoo kelClenmaxClenodexClenotabsClenox Malay TigerKlenprimeclenbuterol MonoresIcyplexSpiropentAmbroxol ClenbuterolVentipulmin ClenbuterolVentolase

The following provide answers to common Mojito problems. See also the Mojito: FAQ.
Q: I am trying get config values using 'ac.config.get(key)', but Mojito is giving me an error or the value is not found.
A: Try inspecting the spec object that is found in the ActionContext object for the key. If ac is the ActionContext object, you can access the specs object with the following: ac.config.getAppConfig().specs.
If you need to examine the entire ActionContext object, you can use the console.log(ac) or the following code:
Object.keys(ac).forEach(function(n) {
console.log(n + ' value:');
Q: I am getting the message that my mojit controller is not an object? What does this mean and how do I fix the problem?
A: Usually, this error occurs when one of your controllers has a syntax error. Use the mojito command with the option jslint as seen below to check the app and your mojits for errors:
$ mojito jslint app {app_name}
$ mojito jslint mojit {app_name}/mojits/{mojit_name}
The output from the above commands will tell you if you have errors, but not where the errors are. Use your own developer tools or manually check your controllers for errors and then run your application again.
Q: I am including CSS files in the assets object of 'application.json', so why are my CSS files not being inserted into the HTML page?
A: To configure Mojito to automatically insert the asset files specified in the assets object of application.json, you must use the HTMLFrameMojit. The HTMLFrameMojit will insert the assets into the head element if you include the assets in the top array or at the bottom within the body element if you include the assets in the bottom array.
In the example application.json below, the index.css file will be included in the head element of the HTML page. Note that the assets object is inside the frame mojit instance. which is of type HTMLFrameMojit.
"settings": [ "master" ],
"specs": {
"frame": {
"type": "HTMLFrameMojit",
"config": {
"child" : {
"type" : "framed"
"assets": {
"top": {
"css": [
Q: My binder is getting deployed to the client, so why isn't the "init" function being called?
A: Most likely Mojito was not able to create a Y.one instance to wrap the DOM nodes that wrap mojit instances because the root element of the mojit's template didn't have the id value {{mojit_view_id}}. If your template wraps its content in a
 element, assign the value {{mojit_view_id}} to the id attribute of that

element:

Q: I am getting Handlebars rendering errors. Is this a client-side or server-side issue with Handlebars and can it be fixed?
A: The issue is not with Handlebars on the client, but with the Handlebars rendering engine on the server. The Handlebars rendering engine inspects the prototypes during the template processing stage. If you remove the prototype inspecting, e.g., creating object literals, the Handlebars engine cannot process the data for the templates.
Although not a permanent solution, you can use Y.mix to ensure that your data has a prototype so that your templates can be rendered. Try doing the following: ac.done(Y.mix({},data));
Q: Why can't my controller access the YUI modules in the "yui_modules" directory?
A: A common problem is that the YUI module is missing the affinity or that the affinity is incorrect. If your controller has been deployed to the client, your YUI module should have the client or common affinity. If your controller is running on the server, the YUI module should have the affinity server or common. Also, confirm that the registered name of the YUI module, i.e., the string passed to YUI.add, is the same as the string passed to the requires array.
Q: Why am I getting the error message "EADDRINUSE, Address already in use" when I try to start Mojito?
A: You probably have an instance of mojito already started/running (check the output from ps aux | grep mojito). Either stop the instance that is running or start a new instance on another port such as in mojito start 8667.
Q: When I execute child mojits with "composite.execute", the views are being rendered, but the binders are not executed. Why?
A: The problem may be that you need to pass the "meta" information to your children as well. This is where the binder metadata bubbles up from the children.
Try doing the following:
ac.composite.execute(cfg, function(data, meta){
ac.done(data, meta);
TypeError: Cannot read property 'documentElement' of null at Object.YUI.add.requires [as fn]
at proto._attach
A: Your application has modules that depend on DOM APIs that aren't available in a Node.js-environment. To find those modules, try using the commands mojito gv --trace dom and mojito gv --trace dom-base, which create a graph of the module dependencies.

Spread over the top of the cake, then decorate with lemon zest and edible flowers, if you like. Serve in slices with extra lemon curd, Greek yogurt and blueberries.

08. June 2018
The European Union (EU) has developed close relationship with the Western Balkans (WB). The EU is the biggest trading partner and financial assistance provider (in terms of pre – accession funds, loans, support to civil society organisations etc.) for most of the WB countries. In 2018 alone, €1.07 billion of pre-accession assistance funds is foreseen for the Western Balkans, on top of the €9 billion during the 2007-2017 period. However, security challenges and other competitors such as Turkey and Russia have emerged in the region. This, among other factors, creates the demand for new approach, instruments and actions. And Balkan people continuously ask themselves: is this really going to happen?
The year 2018 is considered to be of great importance for the WB region. It started with the launch of the Enlargement Strategy, followed by the positive vibes from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (it seems that Greece and Macedonian sides are approaching the name issue solution) and the EU – WB Summit that took place on the 17 May in Sofia, the first one in 15 years.
2018: so far so good?
- On 6 February, the European Commission adopted an Enlargement Strategy for WB called "A credible enlargement perspective for an enhanced EU engagement with the Western Balkans."This strategy includes six new initiatives for the region. Two countries, Serbia and Montenegro, are identified as front-runners in the EU accession process and they may be able to join the Union as early as 2025.
- The Bulgarian presidency has put much effort into WB-EU integration and has hosted an EU–Western Balkans Summit on 17 May in Sofia. Bulgaria has been actively pushing for a more proactive role for the EU institutions in the WB region.
- The Bulgarian presidency will be followed by the Austrian one, a country that has had a long-standing interest in the region. According to Vedran Dzihic, Senior Researcher at the Austrian Institute for International Affairs, Austria "should and is already liaising with Bulgaria and Romania to create a broader time-frame of three presidencies to upgrade the enlargement process. It should put in an extra effort to try to place the Balkans on the map of larger EU reform debates, which will definitely culminate in 2019."
- The Berlin Process will continue with a summit in London scheduled for 10 July. The UK has stressed several times that, despite Brexit, it plans to stay active on the WB agenda. Also, it is expected that this year's summit will focus on the connectivity among the countries of the region.
- Lastly, hopes have been rekindled regarding the Macedonian name issue. There is a positive momentum on the Macedonian political scene and it is expected that this issue, which was in gridlock for many years, might finally be resolved.
What was expected from the summit in Sofia?
Once again the leaders of WB countries met with High Representative Mogherini, Council President Tusk, Commission President Juncker and Commissioner Hahn and they all together reaffirmed that "the EU will never be complete without the Western Balkans". The hope is that they did not go back to their capitals with a "business as usual" agenda and that they will use instead the current momentum of Bulgarian and Austrian presidencies to demand more credibility and engagement on both sides. At the end of the day, political leaders in the Western Balkans have to understand that the member states are responsible for the reforms. From time to time it seems they expect the EU to come and implement reforms, 'spread' the rule of law and eliminate corruption over night. However, the view from this side is that more credibility and responsibility is needed from Brussels too.
At the Thessaloniki Summit in June 2003, the EU promised that all WB countries will one day become member states. It is very important to keep this promise and avoid impossible and inconsistent standards, as Krsto Lazarevic, Berlin based journalist from Bosnia and Heregovina, writes. He also states that the WB countries are willing to make big compromises for the sake of joining the club. Greece and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are close to solving the name dispute; Serbia has done more than many other European countries by accepting 8,000 refugees during the migration crisis and it is also active in the dialogue with Prishtina. So, according to Mr. Lazarevic, the EU cannot accuse these countries of lacking commitment.
At the same time, improving connectivity between Western Balkan states and the EU was one of the priorities of the EU–Western Balkans summit in Sofia. This includes transport, energy, digital, economic and human connectivity that is lacking in the region as it was stressed in the Sofia Summit Declaration. Some even expected that the roaming charges between Western Balkans and the EU would have been removed as sign of an increase in connectivity, however this didn't happen.
Post- Sofia vibes
The new Declaration of the Sofia Summit does not offer new assistance on the path to the EU nor does it propose new forms of engagement as it was expected. It mostly focuses on issues such as democracy, freedom of the press, regional cooperation and bilateral relations. Despite its historical significance the summit was partially marred by France's rather skeptic perspective of WB integration. French President Macron's message was "internal reform first, enlargement second." Other member states have also called for more actions against organised crime and corruption, as well as institutional reform and solving existing bilateral disputes. It seems that only one thing is clear: if enlargement to the Western Balkans is ever going to happen, it will depend on both sides to take responsibility and keep their promises. To sum up, the overall result of the Sofia Declaration is somehow between "encouragement but without great expectations."

Running Windows 10.
I would like to be able to partition a GPT drive, image the OS partition (no dual booting), store images on another partition or external drive, and restore an image to the OS partition. This would have to be done from a flash drive or CD/DVD because I want to keep the hard drive a GPT type. This would take the place of a Recovery USB (although I would still have one). How do I do this?
I am thinking that BIBM could do the partitioning, although Windows might be able to. BIBM could do the imaging too, but could IFW be used?

Nas & Mass Appeal Present New Music Video for "Represent." Winner of Music Video Contest directs new video for the classic track, in celebration of the year of Illmatic XX
In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of his seminal debut album Illmatic, Nas held a contest inviting fans to collaborate and produce the official music video for "Represent," an influential track off of the classic release. This is the first video ever made for the track and was shot at the YouTube Space Los Angeles.
One winner, Brian Katz was chosen, and invited to collaborate alongside Nas and Mass Appeal's own Jason Goldwatch, who helped bring his video vision to life. Inspired by the song's beat, produced by DJ Premier which incorporates samples from the soundtrack of the classic 1924 silent film The Thief of Bagdad, Brian drew parallel lines between the film's protagonist and Nas' own life.
"As someone who has had Illmatic in heavy rotation for the past 20 years, the opportunity to represent as a true fan in sharing my vision with Nas and have Jason Goldwatch help bring that vision to reality is proof positive that indeed 'The World is Yours'" - Brian Katz
Nas' seminal debut album, Illmatic, has been released as a special 20th Anniversary Edition, titled Illmatic XX, available now on 2-CDs and 1-LP vinyl via Sony Music Entertainment's Legacy Recordings. This exclusive collection features several rare remixes, unreleased demos and freestyles to commemorate the anniversary.
The release of Illmatic XX on April 15, 2014 charted in the top 20 of Billboard's Top 200, reflecting Legacy Recordings' aggressive and innovative campaign to elevate the seminal hip-hop record. The anniversary release was supported by a major print and online campaign, which included coverage in USA Today, Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, Complex, Pitchfork, and several television appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Real Time With Bill Maher and Charlie Rose to name a few.
Tribeca Film has acquired North American rights to Time is Illmatic, the Nas documentary which had its world premiere on the opening night of the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival. The film will play in select theaters in October 2014.
"A portrait of an artist as a hood, loner, tortured soul, juvenile delinquent, and fledgling social critic… [the album] still stands as one of rap's crowning achievements." -Rolling Stone
"The meticulously crafted essence of everything that makes hip-hop music great; it's practically a sonic strand of the genre's DNA." -Pitchfork
"[A] masterwork of story-telling, lyricism and beat-making." -NPR Music

The latest podcast from the UK National Archives is a talk by David Carpenter on a project to translate the original Latin fine rolls from the period of Henry III – these list payments made to secure royal favour. The podcast is available at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/podcasts/henry-iii-fine-rolls.htm or through iTunes.
The covering introduction explains 'The fine rolls record sums of money offered to the king in return for concessions and favours, providing a fascinating record of what people wanted from royal government, and what they were willing to give for it. In the past, these records were only available as original Latin documents; this pioneering project has made them accessible to all by making the surviving rolls from the reign of Henry III (1216-1272) available online, complete with translations into English and supporting materials. In this talk Professor David Carpenter explores what light the rolls can shed on this crucial period of English history, and how people can use the fine rolls resource in their own research. David Carpenter is Professor of Medieval History at King's College London and a leading authority on the history of Britain in the central middle ages. David's numerous publications include The Struggle for Mastery (part of the Penguin History of Britain series) and he often appears on television and radio documentaries providing expertise on the medieval period.'

The Bag of Heart Candies needed for this achievement can be bought using Love Tokens during the Love is in the Air holiday. These bags create a random candy with one of the needed phrases. Because of the randomness of the candies and the fact you will need eight different ones to complete the achievement, you may need to purchase several bags to get them all.
This achievement is needed for the holiday's meta, Fool For Love, which is in turn needed for the main holiday meta What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been.Private Mod Note ():Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

Added to the original Love is in the Air world event in Patch 3.0.2.
This is the achievement that prevented myself -- and a lot of others -- from getting the main holiday meta (with the then 310% flying mount) in 2009. The original requirement was to create all the candies rather than eat them and was compounded by its source, Bag of Heart Candies', having a low chance of being looted from Gift of Adoration -- which you could get only once an hour. It was possible to go through a lot of bags and still miss just one candy piece. After much grief on the original WoW forums, Blizzard hotfixed it to require only 6 out of the 8. For many, unfortunately, this was not enough.
So to recap the "Be Mine Incident of 2009": Gift of Adoration (1 hr CD) -> Candy Bag (low chance) -> one Candy piece per charge (extremely RNG) -> A lot of unhappy playersPrivate Mod Note ():Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

Fresh Eggs Everyday
New to keeping chickens? Don't get your feathers in a twist. The Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop comes complete with everything you need to start your new hobby. Perfect for the first-time henkeeper, this brand new Eglu chicken coop not only looks fabulous, but it is easy to clean, straightforward to use, and suitable for up to four chickens. Hens will love the plastic roosting bars and integrated nesting box. Simply fill with bedding and look forward to collecting your first eggs by opening the door at the back.
Easy to clean
Cleaning your Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop is quick and easy, taking just a few minutes each week to keep it looking spic and span. The plastic roosting bars and nesting area sit on top of a slide-out tray, so all droppings will fall through the slats, onto the tray, which can be removed and emptied straight into the compost bin. (Chicken droppings make brilliant fertilizer for your plants).
For a more thorough clean, the smooth, plastic surfaces of the Eglu chicken coop can be washed quickly with a hose or pressure washer, and the roosting bars can also be removed and washed down. It's so easy, in fact, that you could get the kids to do it.
Optional Wheels
The Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop is available with optional wheels. This is highly recommended for anyone wanting to move their Eglu regularly, particularly if you are living on your own. Simply press down both levers with your foot to lift the run, and use the wheels to move the Eglu chicken coop. The wheels can be used with your Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop whether you have a chicken run or not. You just need to have the frame to attach them to.
Easy to Move Run
Choosing to add the optional wheels will make your Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop really easy to move. Although you can choose to keep your Eglu chicken coop in one place, you may want to move it around the garden regularly, to allow your grass to recover, and give hens a new patch of lawn to nibble at. Using the easy foot operated wheel mechanism, one person will be able to simply push or pull the Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop around on their own.
Perfect height for you and your hens
The Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop has all the great benefits of the Eglu Go, on legs. Your hens will love to roost up off the ground, sleeping in a warm and cosy hideaway, and having a private area to escape to to lay their eggs. They will quickly learn how to use the ladder to climb up to their home, and the house will act as a sheltered spot for hens to play under too. It's not just the chickens that will love the Go UP Chicken Coop though – you will too! You'll find that the convenient height makes chicken keeping a delight! There's no need to bend down to clean the Eglu chicken coop or collect the eggs.
A Comfortable Temperature All Year Round
The Eglu chicken coop is specially designed to keep your chickens warm in winter. The Eglu has a unique twin-wall insulation system which works in a similar way to double glazing trapping a pocket of air which provides a very effective means of insulating the house.
In summer your chickens will be kept cool by the Eglu's draught-free ventilation system, carefully designed to avoid air blowing directly over the roosting area whilst allowing fresh air to circulate.
Easy to use Front Door
Letting your chickens out in the morning or securing the Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop at night couldn't be simpler. Using the handle on the side of the Eglu chicken coop you open and close the door, locking and unlocking is done in one intuitive movement. No fiddly catches or bolts that don't line up. The Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop also comes with its own ladder so your chickens won't have to ruffle their feathers whilst walking down to breakfast or climbing into bed.
Top and Bottom Run Door Work Independently
Unlike the other Eglu Chicken Runs, the Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop has a stable-style door at one end. The top and bottom open independently from one another, and both have run pins to secure them into a closed or open position. Open both doors to allow your chickens out, or to get full access to the run, or keep the bottom door closed so that you can refill the feeder and drinker or throw in some corn without your hens escaping.
Spacious, Fox-Resistant Run
The optional (yet recommended) standard 2m chicken run is made from strong steel weld mesh, virtually impossible for predators to break. This means that when you are out and about, you can be sure that your chickens are safe. A unique anti-tunnel skirt sits flat on the ground and prevents animals from digging in, and the dark green coating will blend into your garden beautifully. A 1m extension is also available to add to the chicken run to give your chickens more room.
Happy Chickens
Your hens will love living in the Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop. They'll be able to pop up and down the ladder as they please, keeping nice and snug when it's time to sleep, and having privacy when they want to lay an egg. If you choose the Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop with chicken run, your hens will be able to roam around during the day, safe from foxes, and you can let them have a wander around the whole garden when you're there to watch. With a house like this, all the other chickens in town will be filled with henvy!
How much space do I need?
Ideally your garden should have a fence all the way round. This will prevent your chickens from wandering into the neighbour's garden and, more importantly, ensure that all the eggs are laid on your side of the fence! The fence should be about 1.5m (5ft) high.
If you do not have grass, it is possible to keep a couple of chickens but you must provide them with a layer of wood chippings to rummage about in as this will give them the right type of surface underfoot.
Free Extras!
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to start keeping chickens, which is why you'll get lots of free extras with every Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop. Whichever type of Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop you buy, you'll get an innovative feeder and drinker. These fit neatly to the run, maximising floor area, the covered design protects food from rain, and both are dishwasher proof, for ultra easy cleaning. You'll receive 10 Omlet Egg Boxes, suitable for giving away four eggs at a time to family and friends, and easy to follow instructions to help you build your Eglu quickly. If you choose an Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop with a chicken run, we'll throw in an all-weather shade, to attach to the run and protect hens from wind and rain. It's very hendy in the summer too, to keep your girls protected from the midday sun.
The biggest reward of an Eglu chicken coop, of course, is the free eggs you'll be treated to every morning. Nothing beats that! Not only that, we're so confident you'll love everything about the Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop and your new chickens, we offer a 30-day, no-quibble money-back guarantee.

The Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop is suitable for up to 4 medium sized chickens or 2-3 larger breeds such as Buff Orpingtons or Cochins. When setting up your Eglu chicken coop, you should allow 60cm of space behind the house to enable the dropping tray to slide out easily.

Your Reviews - Eglu Go UP Chicken Coop
Brilliant! - Bel,
This coop has blown me away. It's so easy to clean and move around! It's perfect for our little flock!
Easy to fit, makes a big difference - Jenni,
Glad to have fitted this, the Go Up still moves round easily. Was easy to install.
Best coop system ever - Diane, Washington,
We're experienced with backyard hens and prefer a moveable coop with attached run. Our first coop was home-made after much research. It was great but weighed a ton. Another commercial coop was not secure, and another was too hard to maintain. The Eglu Go Up has everything we need! You can customize the package and it's easy to assemble. Lightweight, yet sturdy and well insulated. We appreciate the covered outside area in case of rain or need for shade. Easy to clean! Not to mention an attractive design. My husband and I stopped raising hens for a while due to arthritis (we have 5 joint replacements between us) but with this system we can again enjoy fresh eggs and watching our feathered friends strut across the yard. Thanks Eglu Go Up!
An excellent coop and happy chickens - Emma,
This is an excellent setup. I love having the raised house, as do the chooks. They are safer from predators and rodents, and the space underneath is shady and dry. I have badgers, foxes, buzzards, seagulls, and feel secure in the security of the coop and run. The double-height run means they can flap and fly (to a point!) and enjoy perches at different heights - far nicer than if they were in a low run. This is my first time keeping chickens and each day I find realise a new feature of the clever design. Although some reviewers dislike the water feeder, my chickens love it. Sometimes they stand on the ground to drink, sometimes they perch on the edge. I think having this choice adds interest for them (bless their cotton socks!) Being open-topped isn't an issue for me as I fill it with fresh water every day. My one complaint is about the feeder. Being so large and deep means that it is hard for the chooks to get to the food as it gets low (and filling it to the top means the food is hanging about in the feeder for 2-3 weeks). Also the lid is very hard to get on and off. I would far prefer the Grub, with its smaller double container.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. — A subsidiary for MGM Resorts International is hosting two information sessions for Prince George's County businesses relating to MGM's proposal to build a casino at National Harbor.
The sessions are scheduled for Friday in Upper Marlboro.
The event will bring purchasing, construction and other company experts to Maryland to answer questions.
MGM is holding the event to give local business men and women an opportunity to speak face to face with MGM representatives about how potential partners can best prepare to work with MGM.
The company is competing against two other companies that are seeking a license to build a casino near the nation's capital. The state could issue a license by the end of the year.
