Visit an area that looks like the movie Frozen with the kids this summer in Colorado.
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) July 12, 2014
Summer time is time for family hiking road trips. Hiking tips with kids and deep cleaning hacks for Moms have been released on Kids Activities Blog. Seasoned Moms are sharing their insights into hiking in Denver, Colorado and deep cleaning the entire house.
Hiking with kids can be a challenge. Selecting just the right path is key for a fun outing. The Lookout Mountain about 40 minutes West of Denver, Colorado, provides a wide range of enjoyment.
The Lookout Mountain provides something for the nature loving child who would like to experience all different types of ecosystems, the meadows, the forests, lakes, and peaks. The less than a mile hike is perfect for even 4 year olds.
Do not forget to check out the nature center at the Lookout Mountain. The nature center provides a perfect background on all the animals in the area.
St. Mary's Glacier makes a perfect destination for Frozen loving kids. Take the towels and lots of sweaters if the kids want to take a dip in the glacier water.
Moms are short on time. Seasoned Moms are sharing great time saving tips to deep clean the house without fancy products. These cleaning hacks will help one get the most out of the time and wallet.
The 18 tips include making a cleaning schedule and sticking to it. Pillow cases are a great way to clean the dust on the ceiling fans.
If the Legos have a dirt ridge around them put them in a lingerie bag and wash them in the clothes washer.
Lemons and salt are all what one needs to make stainless steel sink shine. Wipe the sink with a cut up lemon and salt to make it sparkle. Afterwards chop up the lemon and run it through the garbage disposal. The garbage disposal will be clean and the kitchen will smell wonderful.
For detailed instructions and to get additional fun tips, check out Kids Activities Blog this week. Come get inspired to create fun memories this summer together with the kids.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionAsian elephants are smaller than their African savannah relatives (Loxodonta africana) and have many other physical features that distinguish them. The ears are smaller and the back is more rounded so that the crown of the head is the highest point of the body (2). One of the characteristic features of an elephant are the modified incisor teeth which are known as tusks, however, only some male Asian elephants have tusks, whilst females (cows) have 'tushes' instead, that are seldom visible (3). Elephants support their stocky body on stout, pillar-like legs, and the nose and upper lip are joined and elongated into a trunk (3). The trunk provides a wide variety of functions from feeding, vocalisation, bathing and fighting; those of the Asian elephant have only a single finger-like process on the base, whilst the African elephant has two (4). The thick, wrinkly skin covering the body is a greyish-brown colour and very dry (5).

After reading Michael Berry's article "Find Any String in Any SQL Code in Any Database," I was inspired to try his Find stored procedure, which lets you find a string of data in any T-SQL code stored in any database on the given SQL Server instance. To call this stored procedure, you type
Find 'mystring'
where mystring is the string you want to search for. The stored procedure then searches for that string in all the databases on the server and returns a list of the objects that contain it.
After sharing the Find stored procedure with my coworkers, we decided to tweak it. In our jobs, we often need to search for strings in not only database code but also SQL Server Agent jobs and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages, so we adapted the stored procedure, which we renamed sp_Find, to perform these additional searches. The sp_Find stored procedure searches SQL Server Agent jobs by looking through the text stored in all job steps and searches SSIS packages saved to msdb. (It won't search through SSIS packages if they're saved to a file system or through DTS packages.) You can perform one type of search (e.g., only SSIS packages), all three types of searches (i.e., database code, SQL Server Agent jobs, and SSIS packages), or any combination thereof (e.g., database code and SQL Server Agent jobs).
We also adapted the stored procedure so that the output includes 100 characters of the code surrounding the search string (i.e., the 50 characters preceding the string and the 50 characters following the string). You can change the number of characters if desired. Finally, we adapted the stored procedure so that you can search a specific database rather than all the user databases on the server.
To run sp_Find, you follow the syntax
sp_Find 'SearchText', DBName, PreviewTextSize, SearchDBsFlag, SearchJobsFlag, SearchSSISFlag
- SearchText is the string you want to search for
- DBName is the specific database you want to search. When you don't include this parameter, all the user databases on the server are searched.
- PreviewTextSize is how many characters of the code surrounding the search string you want included in the output. When you don't include this parameter, the stored parameter includes 100 characters surrounding the search string.
- SearchDBsFlag specifies whether you want to search databases (Y) or not (N).
- SearchJobsFlag specifies whether you want to search SQL Server Agent jobs (Y) or not (N).
- SearchSSISFlag specifies whether you want to search SISS packages (Y) or not (N).
So, for example, the code
sp_Find 'track'
tells the stored procedure to search through all the databases, SQL Server Agent jobs, and SSIS packages for the string track. The statement
sp_Find 'track', 'Common', 50
tells the stored procedure to search through the database named Common, the SQL Server Agent jobs, and the SSIS packages for the string track and include only 50 characters surrounding the string in the output. Figure 1 shows sample results from this statement.
The code
sp_Find 'Track', 'Common', Null, 'Y', 'N', 'Y'
tells the stored procedure to search through the database named Common and the SSIS packages for the string track and include 100 characters surrounding the string in the output. As this example shows, you need to use Null if there's a parameter you don't want to set sandwiched between two parameters that you are setting.
Because our shop is completely on SQL Server 2005, we changed the stored procedure's queries to reflect the latest system catalog. Thus, sp_Find won't work on earlier SQL Server versions. If you prefer to have a search tool that works on earlier versions, it wouldn't be difficult to remove the SSIS package logic and revert the database tables back to the previous catalog version, using the code provided in "Find Any String in Any SQL Code in Any Database" as an example.
You can download the sp_Find.sql file by clicking the "Download the Code" link at the top of the page. You don't need to customize the code at all, provided you're going to run it on SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2005.
Note that we named this stored procedure sp_Find so that we could store it in the Master system database and call it from any database context. Use this name at your own risk—Microsoft could come out with a system procedure with the same name in a future release.

"The Lego Movie" is an an irreverent ride for Legomaniacs of all ages.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the team behind the original "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," dwell in a world somewhere between childlike fantasy and corporate glory in "The Lego Movie." And the result is pretty awesome. The 100-minute animated adventure, based on the wildly popular Danish building bricks, turns out to be one big, multi-colored block party that is equally entertaining for children and AFOL (Adult Fans of Lego).
At the center of the story is Emmet, an average, rule-following construction worker who roots for the home team, returns compliments, loves Taco Tuesday, and digs the catchy song "Everything is Awesome," which is everybody's "jam."
Soon, an unsuspecting Emmett (voiced by Chris Pratt) stumbles upon something called the "the piece of resistance." And because of this discovery, he's believed to be the chosen one (think Neo from "The Matrix") to save Bricksburg from the malevolent President Business (Will Ferrell) is plotting. It's up to Emmet to stop him. He's aided in his quest by a team of "master builders" that includes the streetwise steampunk-esque WyldStyle (Elizabeth Banks), a darker-than-usual Batman (Will Arnett), a demented unicorn-cat mix called Unikitty (Alison Brie) and the heroic wizard Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman having fun poking holes in his God-like persona). Cartoonish peril develops as Emmet and his pals set out to thwart Business while outrunning a duplicitous good cop/bad cop, grumbly voiced by Liam Neeson.
A brick-by-brick, click-by-click trippy cruise through the Lego universe ensues, stopping in Bricksville, the Old West and Middle Zealand. It's as if a child's playroom has come to life. The action is fast, colorful and messy. There are also numerous Minifigure cameos from Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, C-3PO, Gandalf, Abraham Lincoln, Shaquille O'Neal and nods to Lego's more in-demand playsets such as Star Wars and Ninjago. My 7-year-old son was thrilled to see all his favorite Lego characters share the screen.
The save-the-world plot setup is flimsy at best, but it's bolstered by clever commentary on conformity and creativity. Color outside the lines and eschew instruction books is the message Lord and Miller proffer and they aim it squarely at the moms and dads in the theater. If you've ever spent half-a-day building the 1,174-piece Lego Ninjago Fire Temple only to have it broken apart, blended with pirate or castle pieces and reassembled into something else, you'll pick right up on what the filmmakers are laying down. The pontificating on living in compliance sails right over the heads of the film's target audience, but for adults, the preaching grows tedious. That's just a minor quibble, however, in a film that's an irreverent ride for Legomaniacs of all ages.
Movie review: THE LEGO MOVIE(PG for mild action and rude humor). Cast includes Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Will Arnett. Grade: A-

Lot # 1235 (of 1743) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1912 Boston Red Sox Hat Band Tobacco Premium
Starting Bid - $200, Sold For - $2,644
Presented is is one of the most decorative tobacco premiums from the era: a 1912 Boston Red Sox World Championship silk hat band. We have seen several different teams from this rare set over the years: the Giants, A's, and Red Sox. We believe these three teams may represent the set. During the early 1900s a straw hat was the norm for any gentleman attending a ball game. Since most straw hats looked alike, it was only natural that someone would come up with a way for a fan to distinguishing himself from the crowd and, at the same time, to declare his allegiance to the home club. The answer was a silk band to be worn around the top. The ornate tricolor design features a Red Sox pennant that is flanked on either side by an identical Boston Red Sox motif displaying the date, "1912," above it, and the words "World's Champions" below. The design is embroidered (as opposed to printed). When worn on a hat, the pennant would be featured in the front, and the two Red Sox motifs would be seen on the sides. The silk band, which is 31 inches in length and 1.5 inches wide, displays a few folds and is otherwise in Excellent to Mint condition. On the reverse at the end is the text "Factory No. 7 3rd Dist. State N.Y." This is both a rare tobacco premium and a very attractive, ideal-for-display souvenir commemorating the first of Boston's four World Championships between the years 1912 and 1918. Reserve $200. Estimate $400+. SOLD FOR $2,644

Walk down practically any street in America and you'll see other pedestrians tapping on touch screens, scrolling through email, talking on cellphones or plugged into mobile music.
Hopefully, the wired walkers will see you — or oncoming traffic if they're crossing the street — before they stroll into an injury.
Cellphone and smartphone use has exploded in the last few years, and two recent national studies show that injuries among pedestrians distracted by their phones have skyrocketed along with their use.
A Liberty Mutual Insurance Pedestrian Safety Survey of more than 1,000 adults, ages 18 to 65, released this month, found that 60 percent of pedestrians walk while texting, emailing, talking on the phone or listening to music, despite 70 percent considering those behaviors to be dangerous.
The study cited a 2011 report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission that found 1,152 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms after being injured while walking and using a cellphone or other electronic device.
"So much attention has been paid, and rightly so, to distracted driving that we have ignored the fact that distracted walking and crossing can be just as risky," said David Melton, a Boston-based driving safety expert with Liberty Mutual and managing director of global safety, in a news release.
Another study just released in the August 2013 issue of the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention, by researchers at Ohio State University, found that more than 1,500 pedestrians were estimated to be treated in emergency rooms in 2010 for injuries related to using a cellphone while walking. The number has more than doubled since 2005, even though the total number of pedestrian injuries dropped during that time.
"It's probably not the safest thing," said Lorraine MacDonald, 47, of Shrewsbury who was texting and checking email as she walked along the sidewalk on Commercial Street in downtown Worcester. She said she puts the phone away before crossing the street, though.
Ms. MacDonald, a nursing faculty member at MCPHS University, said she's used a smartphone for about three years and "does everything" on it, relying on the autocorrect function to facilitate typing while walking.
But she added, "Nobody ever looks at anybody anymore. They're stuck to their phones."
Another MCPHS faculty member, pharmacist Andrew Szumita of Raynham, was plugging in ear buds to check the scores on sports radio as he approached the crosswalk at Commercial and Foster Streets.
"I've heard the stories about that (distracted pedestrian accidents) so I try to be careful," Mr. Szumita said. "I try not to play with it when crossing the street, but just listen."
On Main Street, Ike Prah, 23, who recently moved to Worcester from Philadelphia, said he also mainly listens to his iPhone, enjoying music as he walked down the sidewalk. He said he's seen YouTube videos of people running into things while fiddling with their smartphones, but he's never had an accident.
"I really don't have any technique. I use my peripheral vision and try to focus more," Mr. Prah said.
MCPHS nursing student Kelly Meehan, 27, admitted she was checking her email as she walked off campus on the Commercial Street sidewalk.
Ms. Meehan said that distracted walking could be hazardous, but she hadn't seen any cases yet of cellphone-related injuries in the emergency room in Connecticut where she works.
Worcester and surrounding towns are starting to examine data looking at pedestrian and occupant motor-vehicle injuries as part of a Community Health Improvement Plan coordinated by the Worcester Division of Public Health.
Dr. Michael P. Hirsh, acting commissioner of public health and surgeon-in-chief of Children's Medical Center at UMass Memorial Medical Center, said that violence and injury prevention were one of the five priority "domains" adopted through an extensive community health assessment over the past two to three years.
He said that while violence was an overarching concern to the community, the data showed that injuries — particularly falls and motor vehicle accidents — caused far more trauma-related hospital admissions and deaths.
Pedestrian injuries are counted as part of overall traffic injuries.
Dr. Hirsh said that as a first step, the city plans to look at GPS mapping of pedestrian injuries to see where the most dangerous locations are. That data should be available in six to 12 months.
Anecdotally, Dr. Hirsh said that at UMass Memorial, "We've had a number of episodes with teens crossing the street, texting and getting hit."
He said these accidents have taken place from Worcester's Park Avenue to a boarding school campus in Connecticut, where a group of teens were injured while walking and texting.
"I'm just amazed at how people cross the street," Dr. Hirsh said. "It's quite a rising menace (distracted pedestrians), I'd bet, but we don't have the data yet. But I think we will."
Dr. Hirsh noted that the marked increase in pedestrian injuries was discussed at a conference he attended in New York City, which recently added bike lanes to streets.
"Their theory in New York is there's a new bicycle lane law and pedestrians are tangling just as much with bikes as they are with cars," he said.
The trend may be growing in this area, too, as more people take to bikes and walking to public transportation, presenting more obstacles for drivers and other pedestrians.
But Terrel Harris, spokesman for the state Executive Office of Public Safety, said: "We're trying to get people to stop texting and driving. Distracted walking? It's not on our top priority list."
Dr. Hirsh wasn't surprised that distracted walking hasn't made it to everyone's radar screen yet. "It sneaks up on you," he said. "Even five years ago, cellphones weren't so ubiquitous as now."
Mary M. Maguire, director of public and legislative affairs for AAA of Southern New England, said, "We caution drivers all the time about distraction and the need to focus 100 percent on the road so you can see when a pedestrian steps out from behind a car. ... With more bikes and pedestrians out there, pedestrians need to be paying close attention, as well, to potential hazards."
She said, "Multi-tasking has become the norm. We're not as focused and efficient as when we focus on one thing at a time. We all need to ask ourselves, 'Is this call or this text really necessary?' "
The message to pay attention in roadways has to start early, safety experts say.
John Paul, AAA's manager of traffic safety, said the association's Walk Safe program for children in kindergarten through Grade 5 covers cellphones and MP3 music players as sources of distraction.
"We always include the idea that they're not going to be able to hear, they'll be distracted," he said.
"Parents already teach their children to look both ways when crossing the street," said Jack Nasar, co-author of the Ohio State study and professor of city and regional planning, in a news release.
"They should also teach them to put away their cellphone when walking, particularly when crossing a street."

The more things change, the more they stay the same for the Newark varsity girls volleyball program.
More than half of the starting lineup graduated after the 2012 season, but the Lady Norsemen have not missed a beat.
They won the Little Ten Conference tournament, and have already clinched the regular-season conference championship.
With a win Wednesday over Indian Creek, the Lady Norsemen completed their fourth straight perfect season in the LTC.
Senior Kristina Nichols, who is the lone current Newark player who made the All-Conference team in 2012, is already looking forward to the Class 1A postseason. Newark was eliminated in the sectional semifinal last season by eventual state champion Keith Country Day.
Q. With the seniors you guys graduated after last season, the spotlight has been on you a little more. How do you feel you have responded so far?
A. So far, I feel as if I have done a pretty good job. I have taken these girls under my wings and created a second family with them.
I care more about the relationships I make than the stats I put in the books night to night.
I have a lot of expectations put on me as a player as well, and it's safe to say I would not be as successful as I have been if it weren't for my faith and family.
I go out there, play volleyball, have fun and make memories.
Q. Are you someone who likes to be the focal point of the offense or maybe aims for a certain number of kills, or does that not matter to you?
A. Offense is absolutely one thing that I cannot wait to step out on the court and go hard at.
That's a given.
But that's not what I aim to be. My personal goal is to be the best all-around player that I can possibly be.
There's nothing greater than that feeling of hitting the ball just right and earning a point for the team, but dog-hard defense is something I strive to add into a game every night as well.
Q. How have other players filled in around you to compensate for the players that were lost?
A. I love these girls so much and I am so proud of each and every one of them for what they've brought to this team.
These girls have stepped up in all the right ways and more. They bring a passion for the game to the court, along with a energetic, crazy attitude that I am so happy to be a part of. They are the greatest encouragers a team could ask for, and I am so blessed to be a leader of that team.
Q. Obviously Newark having success in the Little Ten Conference is nothing new. Is it something you almost take for granted at this point?
A. Being honest, definitely.
We have a tendency to sometimes think of ourselves as the best in the conference because we are Newark.
Putting on that jersey doesn't give us those talents, though.
We have to work hard in the gym day to day to earn the spot we have pushed so hard for.
As a program, we have to keep in mind that any team can step in, being the underdog, and win a game while a team at the top can come in and play the worst game ever.
Just because we are Newark doesn't mean we are invincible to the rest of our conference.
It just means we are willing and committed to putting in the time and effort to come out on top, year in and year out.
Q. Do you or does the team ever step back and appreciate the winning streaks you've had in the conference?
A. We do – not as often as we should, though. We have a lot to be proud of as a volleyball program, and we just get so caught up in the games we are in currently to the point where we forget to realize how far we have come.
It is truly a blessing that God placed me in Newark with the coaches I have and the amazing girls, too.
Q. To you, what separates Newark, and allows the program to have the kind of success it does despite being a public school with a small enrollment?
A. Newark is a very unique kind of school. Our student body of 180 consists of people with hundreds of different kinds of personalities and interests.
Something that sets us apart, though, is that, as a program, we can adapt and love on everybody's way of life and make a family out of it.
Nobody will understand how many times I thank God for the family I have within those walls at Newark High.
The bond and partnership we create as a team is what fuels us into winning games.
If it weren't for our friendships we create, we would just be a team, not a family.
Q. How much of your time is consumed by volleyball, both during the high school season and during the offseason?
A. During season, I would say 95 percent of my time is dedicated to being in the gym with my girls and out on the road with them, too.
During the offseason, I would say about 75 percent. I stay active in clubs and leagues a few nights a week still.
I run some camps at the YMCA, too, teaching other children the game.
Volleyball is one of my top priorities, and it's one you'll never find me complaining about.
Q. If you could pick one specific way that your game has changed most since you first entered high school, what is it?
A. I would have to say that my aggressiveness as an athlete has grown immensely.
Coming in my freshmen year, I was so timid and scared of what the ball might do to me. As I'm playing through my senior year, I hammer down on every ball I can and get joy out of that.
You will never see me be that shy, timid athlete again. Being aggressive is more fun anyway.
Q. Newark is in a regional at a familiar site, and you can't meet Keith Country Day until the super-sectional. Were you happy with the draw your team got?
A. Absolutely. Words cannot describe how stoked I am for postseason.
This whole set-up is going to benefit us in the long run.
Practices have already been focused on postseason, and we have brought in our assistant coaches to hit at us to prepare us for what we will see.
God placed us in this spot for a reason, and time will tell us what that reason is.
Q. What is the biggest key for a successful postseason run for Newark?
A. I believe the biggest key is hard work and determination.
It's easy for us to drag nonvolleyball issues on to the court, but those are things we need to put to rest as soon as we step into the gym.
We need to treat every practice as if it's our last and every scrimmage as if it's the biggest game of our careers.
If we stay focused and work hard as individuals, we will play our best.
If we do that as a team, we will be dominant.
It's time to rise above the expectations and get our program further than most think possible this postseason.

There are so many Jewish holidays I can't keep up with. Tu B'Shevat was just this past weekend. I spent my Friday evening at the United Jewish Congregation of Hong Kong.
According to Chabad.org, Tu B'Shevat (I feel like I have to learn Hebrew just to keep up with my Intro to Judaism course), "…is the day that marks the beginning of a "new year" for trees." I ate a lot of fruit Friday night, met a great Jewish family who spent 11 years in Japan, of course fluent in Japanese. The actual Shabbat dinner was a vegetarian potluck. I brought two Middle Eastern veggie dishes. On Tu B'Shevat, the Jewish tradition is to eat fruit, Holy Fruit called out in the Torah. Such as figs, grapes, olives, and dates, those that grow in abundance in Israel.
For me, a Chinese, looking on at Tu B'Shevat, I can interpret this as a showering and worship of Mother Nature.* We owe our food to the abundance of nature and should respect it. Perfect, I already see a few similarities with Shintoism of Japan. 🙂
How did you celebrate this year? Do you celebrate this minor Jewish holiday?
*I am not trying to offend any religion or religious beliefs, only am making a personal interpretation given my Chinese-American background.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Xbox 360) review
"At first, I stupidly tried to battle everyone. This is a waste of time. Instead, you need to work actively on the current objective, whatever it might be. These can range from destroying siege engines, bashing stone pillars with your club (while riding on back of a lumbering giant) to simply working your way through the maelstrom to safety."

Service greatly expands offerings in response to customer requests
Napa, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/03/2014 -- As the demand for wines produced in Napa Valley Wine Country increases, tourism to Napa wineries and vineyards has been steadily growing. In response to the success of their Napa Wine Country limousine and bus wine tour packages, Uvation Wine Tours today announced a major expansion of their wine tour packages to also include excursions to private, reservation-only wineries usually not visited by the majority of visitors to the Napa Valley. Starting in April 2014, the Napa-based limo wine tour outfit will begin offering exclusive wine tours to a number of highly sought-after but harder-to-find Napa Country wineries.
Interested parties can register for wine tours by calling the company at (707) 927-1878.
"Our clients have been asking for access to some of the more exclusive and off the beaten path winery locations throughout Napa Valley, and we're happy to announce that we're now able to accommodate those requests," said Bogar Arizmendez, owner and founder of Uvation Wine Tours and Limousine (www.uvationwinetours.com). "We are fortunate to have some incredible Napa Valley winery partners participating with us to provide a unique wine tour experience for our clientele."
Uvation Wine Tours and Limousine works with clients to create the perfect itinerary for each trip. If one needs an extra bit of inspiration, staff members can help. For those with an itinerary in place, Uvation Wine Tours happily takes the itinerary and uses it to make recommendations based on their experience to help each client plan the ideal getaway.
"Clients want an experience they will remember a lifetime, and that's exactly what Uvation Wine Tours and Limousine provides. After chauffeuring thousands of wine tasters, we know which wineries are the best for this purpose. In addition to enjoying a variety of wines, visitors love the tour aspect of the trip as it provides them with an opportunity to see the beautiful landscaping and areas of the Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Leave the driving to us so you can enjoy the day safely," Arizmendez declares.

If I am still alive after my 9th tournament, I'd like to host a "Point Whore" tournament and am looking for some constructive input.
I understand that 2000 is the maximum-minimum level for normal tourneys. If that is so, then this is an ALL COMERS tourney, and I'd set up a supplemntal one for Brig+ myself outside of official Tourneys.
Point Whores: people that would sell their soul (if they had one) for a few points, usually classified as Farmers. I get so much shit for managing the risk of losing points that I'd like to see how we all compare. Because i am too damn scared of losing too many points, I'd want to limit it to Brigadiers and above. I may even host one "all joiners welcome -- that are (or were in a previous life) true point whoring farmers" anyway -- with Brigs and above offline here.
Title: "GLG#10 Point Whores R Us"
Type: singles 16 1v1 -- but if enough participants will open to 24-32 * * *NOT TEAMS (rbelgrod)
Topic: Point whoring Farmers Unite
Organizer: Gen.LeeGettinhed
Comments: (details below Results/games)
-open to ideas, but would like it on a quick small map -- like Doodle Earth (or Lux).
-standard, automatic, sequential, escalating, chained, no fog, 20 round limit.
-open to freemium/premium -- need 1 slot left open
-I will not be playing (the risk) except if enough Brig+ want to join (in the unofficial version -- need at least 4, prefer 8, 16)
-no losers bracket redemption
-if more than 16, will accept
-MUST reply to this thread (per Serbia, tourney Director) -- NO PM's or emails, please.
-open to ideas, maps (but prefer small quick)
-let me know if ONLY all comers or just Brig+ or both.
Feel free to contact Farmers or nominate the best (currrent or ex-). PLEASE don't troll the thread, this is a legitimate tourney draft.

On "The Book of the Dead"
John Lowney
When the conclusion of "The Book of the Dead" reiterates the poem's opening refrain"These roads will take you into your own country" (OS 37)this refrain is also rewritten, insisting on the reader's active role as "witness" much more forcefully. "These roads" constructed for commerce, including the commerce of tourism, are also the roads traveled by anonymous migrant workers. "The Book of the Dead" assures that "your own country" can neither "forget" nor "keep silent" these workers' defiant narratives of counter-memory.
from "Truths of Outrage, Truths of Possibility: Muriel Rukeyser's 'The Book of the Dead'" in "How Shall We Tell Each Other of the Poet?": The Life and Writing of Muriel Rukeyser. Ed. Anne F.

On February 7, 1963, 15 people died after a bus crashed in the Brynderwyn Hills. Fifty years on, families tell of how the tragedy still affects the survivors - and how the driver came so close to averting disaster.
They should never have been on the bus. But a mix-up with their booking led to 36 people hopping aboard a dilapidated coach that would become a death-trap.
Fifty years ago yesterday a group of men, women and children from the Auckland area - many of them related - made a trip north for Waitangi Day. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh were attending and those on the bus were brimming with excitement as they bid farewell to family and friends.
At the last minute, they were told that the bus they had booked had been given to another group. An older one was sent in its place and got them to Waitangi for the celebration.
But on the return leg, on February 7, 1963, the bus brakes suddenly failed, sending the group plummeting down a sheer cliff face. Fourteen passengers died instantly, another later that day. The remaining passengers suffered varying injuries from cuts and fractures to severe and paralysing spinal injuries.
It remains the worst road crash in New Zealand.
Those first on the scene that day spoke to the Herald. One described the bus as "a splintered and tangled mass of wooden wreckage".
Others spoke of scrambling down that precarious hill to help survivors.
A farmer whose homestead overlooked the gully where the bus came to stop heard the crash, saw the dust rising.
"I thought at first it was a truck over the edge ... when we got down the hill we were shocked. It was a nightmare scene, just a mass of broken bodies.
"One boy was hysterical and kept calling for his brother while we were getting him out. I don't know whether his brother was one of the lucky ones."
The farmer's son also witnessed the horrific scene, recalling: "It was just a tangle of bodies when we got there. People were moaning with pain and trying to haul themselves out of the wreckage."
"I have never seen anything like it," said a policeman.
A public inquiry was held in April.
It was the first time New Zealanders would hear bus driver Harold Parker tell his story. As he headed from Waitangi to Auckland, the bus seemed fine. He pulled in near Ruakaka for a lunch break and then again on the Auckland side of Pilbrow Hill - part of the Brynderwyns.
Soon after, disaster struck.
"My brakes have gone," he told his passengers.
"When I did apply the foot brake the pedal went straight to the floor. I tried to change from third gear into second but failed ... at the same time I applied the handbrake and to get more leverage I stood up.
"I was able to drive around at least two bends with one hand on the wheel while the other was pulling on the handbrake ... I have no idea what speed the bus was travelling at," he told the inquiry.
"I knew that if I did run the bus into the side of the bank, the top of the bus would splinter and the sides would fall away. I was conscious also of the steep drop on the other side. I knew I was nearly at the bottom of the hill and if I could make one more bend I would be on a straight road."
As the bus was hurtling down the road, Mr Parker could see his passengers in the rearview mirror. Some had left their seats and were standing, encouraging him.
"Stick to it, you'll make it driver," one called out to him.
"I was attempting to drive around the bend, the speed was too much and the bus went over the bank."
Seconds later, almost half of his passengers were dead. Survivor Tunatapa Kukatai spoke of the passengers' terror as the bus plunged down the hill.
"There was a happy part on the bus, all the younger ones were singing as we started down the hill. There was no panic and people kept to their seats when everyone realised that something was wrong. The older people began to pray out loud. Someone said 'we will be all right' ... I was one of the very lucky ones."
'The unspeakable was in his eyes'
Don Hutchinson was just 13 years old when his uncle Tamaio Paiki turned up at his family's home in Takapuna. But he remembers it vividly.
"Uncle Tom came unannounced to our house in Takapuna, sombre and shirtless. He'd been returning from Waitangi in a bus full of local-area Maori when, as they descended the Brynderwyn Hill, the bus in front suddenly picked up speed, careened around a corner then left the road and plunged down a steep hill into a stream. The brakes had failed," Mr Hutchinson told the Herald.
"Tamaio and others quickly scrambled down through broken trees and ferns to a scene he described as 'pure carnage'. When he got to our house later that night his white shirt was just a blood-stained ball under his arm. He'd forgotten he was carrying it till Mum offered to wash it.
"In his gravelly, soft-spoken voice he slowly related the details of the crash and a summary of the rescue attempt. Though not one to speak of gory details, you could see the unspeakable in his eyes."
Mr Paiki died in 1984.
"Do I consider his actions heroic? Of course I do. Anyone who plunges without thinking down a hillside to extricate the living and the dead from a crumpled vehicle deserves respect. But he was not alone and I doubt any of the rescuers did it for personal glory," Mr Hutchinson said.
"They simply did what any decent person would do in the 1960s - and hopefully today.
In any case, he was already a hero in my eyes, but a modest one who would never have allowed such talk."
Mr Hutchinson often thinks about the crash.
"Although we didn't know any of the victims, somehow they seemed closer to us because of him. The name Brynderwyn and Paiki's blood-stained shirt are forever seared into my memory."

CROI 2013: The Studies Most Likely to Make Waves
March 1, 2013
Take a good look, my dear. It's an historic moment you can tell your grandchildren about.
The 20th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2013) will be held next week in Atlanta, Ga., the land of Gone With the Wind and the home of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Over the past decades, CROI has been the place to learn about new drugs to treat HIV and its myriad complications.
These decades have seen many significant advances in care: A once untreatable, usually fatal infection is now controllable with medications -- and, in developed countries, the opportunistic infections that gave the conference its name are uncommon. Indeed, the menu of the conference now reflects this good fortune: It has new focus areas on topics other than AIDS and opportunistic infection.
What to expect in this year's running? Here's my short list of to-watch studies and presentations (which will be updated with links as coverage of them becomes available):
Antiretrovirals: New and Experimental Drugs
You may have heard that the HIV drug pipeline is drying up. I don't think so.
Non-AIDS Complications
HIV Eradication/Cure
The cure agenda took big steps in the past few years, from the initial and follow-up reports on Timothy Brown (aka the "Berlin patient") and subsequent reports of a functional cure in two patients following bone marrow transplant. An additional emerging theme was the use of histone deacetylase inhibitor-based strategies to stir resting cells. At CROI 2013, we will see:
HIV Prevention
Biomedical interventions can prevent HIV. Period. But a major question remains: How do we engage the patient and provider communities in achieving an AIDS-free generation? CROI will hopefully explore this question with:
Hepatitis C (HCV) Treatment
The time has come for widespread treatment of HIV/HCV coinfection. But treatment with which agents and for how long? How to deal with nagging drug-drug interactions? CROI will explore these issues in depth with:
The Cascade: Improving Engagement in Care
Only 1 in 4 Americans living with HIV have achieved an undetectable viral load. Seems like the same is happening in other countries. What can we do about it? Hopefully some of these CROI presentations will help point a way forward.
We've reached a tipping point in the history of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. A once-fatal infection is now largely controlled with effective, well-tolerated treatments, and access to life-saving treatment is improving (though a long way from adequate). New biomedical interventions to prevent HIV infection, treatment-as-prevention approaches and pre-exposure prophylaxis have greater than 90% effectiveness in adherent individuals. Meanwhile, new treatments for HCV may cure the majority of infected individuals, and emerging data demonstrate their effectiveness in HIV-infected patients as well.
People living with HIV who have access to -- and remain adherent to -- care may have normal life expectancy. But many, perhaps a majority, of people living with HIV fail to reach this goal. The medical community must now confront difficult issues of testing, entry to (and retention in) care and an evolving spectrum of non-AIDS, often non-communicable, diseases.
Last year, my revered friend Paul Sax, M.D., opined that the name of the conference should change along with the evolving spectrum of HIV illness. I think a fitting new name, like that of Atlanta's health beacon, might be "Conference on Long Life With Retroviruses, Hepatitis and Prevention."
Benjamin Young, M.D., Ph.D., is the chief medical officer of the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC), one of the world's largest organizations of HIV health care providers.

I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about a friend of hers who's about to start seeing a fertility doctor, and my advice to her friend was: "Tell her to go into it with eyes wide open." I thought I went into my infertility journey with eyes wide open, but after all I've been through I realize now I didn't have a clue what I was getting myself into. And I'm not even sure it's possible to have your eyes wide open with something you just can't fully understand until you get there. It's like telling a mom-to-be to go into motherhood with eyes wide open. Can anything really prepare you for parenthood? Can anything really prepare you for IVF?
The twists and turns take you to emotional and physical places you could never anticipate. And since no two infertility experiences are the same, you can't go by someone else's journey. The only research I did before I started seeing a fertility doctor was talking to friends about their experience. It was helpful, but our experiences turned out to be quite different.
I'm not gonna lie, lately I've been questioning whether we should move forward with this right now. I've taken the last few months off and am finally feeling like myself again. Jumping back in is scary. I'm nervous to go back to that place—a place that can be very dark and emotionally (and physically) draining. After our last failed frozen embryo transfer in January we decided to switch doctors, so I went to see my new doctor for an initial consult a couple weeks after I got negative pregnancy results back in January. I thought we were better off starting over with a clean slate and a new doctor who would design a new protocol for me. He's one of the top fertility doctors in the country, so I'm very confident with our decision. I have many friends who've gone to him, with positive results (i.e. babies).
But I needed to give my body a break, so we decided to wait at least a month before starting up again. One month turned into three months, for a variety of personal reasons. I kept telling myself to call the clinic to set up an appointment, but a few things were holding me back: 1. Fear. Fear of putting myself through it again, and it possibly not working. Fear of the physical toll it takes on me, and fear of the heartbreak. 2. Uncertainty. Was the timing right, with both of us self-employed, and me looking for a new job, and all the stress I was under as a result? Stress is a big factor in this, and unfortunately stress has played a big role in my life lately. If I'm going to do this, I want to be in a stress-free state. 3. Insurance. I was still covered under my former employer's insurance plan, which—unbeknownst to me—had changed. I went from having 70 percent coverage for up to 4 IVF cycles, to only $2k total for infertility, over a lifetime (which I found out about two days before my last transfer, one of the things causing the aforementioned stress).
So it's been three months of me sitting on the bench, taking a time out from infertility. A lot has happened in those three months: I started a new job recently, that I'm still getting comfortable with; my husband had back surgery, that he's still recovering from; and then I had to go and turn 38 last week. On the one hand, it hasn't felt like the right time to start a new cycle of fertility treatments, but on the other hand? I just turned 38!
The big question now is: Should we or shouldn't we? Turning 38 last week definitely puts things in perspective—my window of opportunity is obviously closing. But is age enough of a reason to do it if the timing isn't quite right? Preston's also not getting any younger—he'll be 3 in August. The longer we wait, the bigger the age difference between kids. I'm less worried about that one, but I still think about it.
There's a small part of me that wonders if maybe we were meant to have only one child. My son is the biggest blessing in my life—there are no words to describe how lucky we feel, and how amazing he is—it's his awesomeness that makes me long for another baby. But I can't help but wonder if I'm tempting fate a little. Am I pushing my luck? Should it be this hard? Is our inability to conceive naturally with no. 2 a sign?
My mom, who stayed with me to help take care of Preston after Jay's surgery, says I'm "burning the candle on both ends." That's her way of saying I'm doing too much; I have too much on my plate right now. There's a lot of pressure on me at the moment, and as much as I want another child, I'd be lying if I said I thought now was the absolute perfect time to do it. I have to stop and think about whether this is the best thing for me right now. I know in the long run it's what we want. Will the timing ever be right?
Do you ever worry about timing when it comes to having children? Or do you just go for it, with the notion that whatever happens, happens, and you'll make it work somehow? I wish I could think that way, but infertility eliminates the "whatever happens, happens!" part. I wish I could throw caution to the wind, like I did the first time, but everything is so calculated with these infertility treatments. Sometimes I think we should wait until things calm down a little…until my husband's feeling better...until my work schedule is more manageable...until some other things in our life are back on track...but will things ever calm down? What if they don't, and I lose the little opportunity I have left.

In the Line of Duty
It's a bit rubbish but it's a bit good too.
what you on about?
In the Line of Duty
It's a bit rubbish but it's a bit good too.
that's what I hear.
1st series was superb
Not watched the 2nd season yet
Series ranking?
I prefer to do it by episodes
If you put an arrow in the middle of Quackers mouth
it bets rid of his beak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
British crime procedural with dodgy camera shots
some poor acting but quite engaging plot.
Fucking hell!
That one off This is England, some Northern Irish guy, a small bloke (bad actor), some woman I vaguely recognise, few other regional accents.
I wouldn't worry
it's a bit rubbish.
Is she the fruity posh actress type
or the Page 3 STUNNER?
a bit rubbish but it's a bit good too.
I'm very well shot, I'll have you know*
*add this to the 'bit rubbish' pile
Second series is loads better than the first.
Fuck this thread though.
They should publish this thread
as a companion to the series on the iplayer page.
Fucking hell budget, this isn't a time for messing about!
Nobody knows because it makes no sense.
The Caddy wasn't it?
Well, her and Akers. They were behind the ambush. Right?
But why would they want to protect Denton, she's a mega prick.
Akers got shot and flamed, she couldn't have organised that, or if she did she wants to rethink her strategy (from the afterlife)... I assume she got double crossed.
I mean, it was all because The Caddy fella wanted to be clean
So he had Tommy killed to end that relationship and Akers killed as she was the only one who knew he was involved in the ambush. Denton had no idea he was involved so he asked her to be spared.
He was happy for everyone to get butchered apart from Denton?
Maybe it was because he wanted her to take the fall for the whole thing. Alright, I accept my theory.sadpunk this'd this
not proper shit
but deffo disappointing.
May have exaggerated a little there
Did expect a much more satisfying conclusion
The only bit that really annoyed me was
Denton saw Tommy punch a girl, then she got told by a cop she's never met before that he does a lot of other bad stuff. Next breath she's agreeing to help kill him!p_a_u_l this'd this
didn't agree to the murders: she was specifically told there would be no voilence, it would just be a peaseful handover. Dot basically screwed Denton and Akers over.
i am very very disappointed with how that ended
so so so rushed.
i didn't believe denton's motivation, i didn't believe this incredibly smart woman would have taken the cash back to her house when the investigation is still going on, the flashback was just AWFUL (a real cheap trick), the 'what happned next' bit at the end was shit, loads of it was just dodgy.
i have a vaugue memory of it falling to pieces a bit in the last act of the last series?
nearly actually annoyed at this - the rest of the series was fantastic.kevbizarre this'd this
something else that annoyed me a lot
fucking prasad being given immunity.
'alright prasad help us out yeah, spill the beans and we'll give you immunity'
'alright sweet, well.... i'm a murderer, and i'm pretty heavily involved in child prostitution, and kidnapping, and blackmail, and preventing the course of justice (covering up evidence and shit), oh and kidnapping as well, loads of bad stuff, i'm a pretty bad egg really...'
'ok cool, thanks for that prasad, well we can't nick you as you'cve got immunity, care to let us in on the other bad guys...'
'oh no, i can't do that'
'ok no worries! cheers anyway!'
think that's the point: as Dryden said, they give immunity deals to the worse offenders, who then don't give anything in return.
i'm going to look this up
surely that's not how it works
what kind of stupid deal is that?
THe audition I have had a callback for, the actor playing across from me is in this show. I have never seen it.
what? You're an actor now?
When did this happen?
Anyone bothered with Series 3 (of Line of Duty)?
Despite my misgivings it's actually ended up being pretty good.
Thought the Savile link was just...weird and unecessary, though.

Decorative Bust of a Silenus
Early 1st century A. D.
6 1/4 x 4 3/16 x 2 3/4 in. (15.9 x 10.6 x 7 cm)
R. T. Miller, Jr. Fund, Oberlin Friends of Art Fund, and Mrs. F. F. Prentiss Fund, 1988
This realistically modeled ornamental bust of a silenus originally adorned the headboard of a sumptuous Roman dining couch.
From the third century B.C. through the first century A.D., wealthy inhabitants of the Hellenistic Mediterranean world and their Roman successors reclined for banquets on elaborately decorated couches. 1 These couches usually had a curved headboard (or fulcrum) at one end, where the occupant could rest his or her left arm. 2 Figural attachments, usually cast in bronze but sometimes carved in bone or ivory, protected the ends of the fulcra. At the upper end, these attachments often took the form of an animal's head, most often a horse or mule, while the lower end featured a bust of a male or female figure. 3 The Oberlin bust of a silenus once fitted onto the lower end of a fulcrum.
Because the consumption of wine played a prominent, if not central, role in these banquets, animals and personages connected with Dionysus were appropriate attributes for the adornments of the couches. Silver coins struck as early as the fifth century B.C. in the wine-producing city of Mende in Macedonia represent Dionysus reclining, two-handled wine cup in hand, on the back of a mule as if he were using it as a couch. (Other figures equally fitting for the couches are maenads, the raving women who rush after Dionysus in mountain revels, and satyrs, his part-animal male attendants.) On late Hellenistic and early Imperial Roman couches, the wise old sileni, fully aware of the dangers posed by drunkenness, might be seen as convivial companions to the banqueters reclining on the couches. 4
The Oberlin silenus bust is modeled almost completely in the round, with only the back of the torso flattened for attachment to the fulcrum. His dome-shaped, bald head and massive neck rise from a substantial, but not obese, torso. The age of the silenus is graphically indicated by his full, sagging right breast with prominent pointed nipple and incised chest hair. A fawn or goat skin is tied over his left shoulder in a "Herakles Knot," with leg and hoof hanging below.
The silenus's beard and mustache are formed of a complex arrangement of large and small grooved corkscrew curls. His broad forehead is contoured in shallow, parallel grooves, comparable to the undulations on his cheeks. Glancing fiercely from under protruding, shelf-like brows are eyes inlaid in silver, with indented cavities for pupils (probably intended to create shadows and not to be inlaid). His parted lips (inlaid in copper) 5 animate his face, as if the silenus were breathing heavily or were about to speak. 6
The silenus wears an intricately rendered wreath of ivy vines, a favorite plant of Dionysus. The modeling and arrangement of the triangular leaves and clusters of round berries (or corymboi) are a technical tour de force of openwork, lost-wax bronze casting. Over the silenus's forehead, the vine is wrapped several times around itself, ending in two dangling bunches of corymboi. The tips of his ears are hidden by free-standing leaves.
The virtuoso casting of this bust, as well as the superb quality of this individualistic, highly sympathetic and expressive portrayal of a silenus make this a masterpiece of decorative figural Roman metalwork. The unusually large size of the bust is similar to examples from Pompeii, in the Museo Nazionale, Naples, which also have complex detailing of hair and beard. 7 As these can be dated no later than the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79, the Oberlin silenus bust may also date to the first century, perhaps even towards the middle. The production of fulcrum attachments with figural components appears to have died out during the early years of the second century.

Technical Data
The bust was cast in one piece by the lost-wax process. There is a hollow cavity in the back side, which extends completely into the interior of the head. Traces of drips on the interior surface suggest the use of the lost wax technique; three small projections on the interior may be traces of sprues, left after the casting was completed. The opening of the cavity in the back has a ledge or lip projecting inward toward the center of the opening around its entire circumference. There is a small hole between the rearmost and second corkscrew curls on the left side of the beard. One leaf stem on the vine on the left side of the head is missing. It appears to have been broken off, although the difficulty of casting these stems, which are completely in relief, makes it possible that this stem did not fill out during casting.
The surface of the bust, a shiny dark brown, is slightly uneven in spots, perhaps from corrosion during its centuries of burial. Many areas of red copper corrosion (cuprite, or copper carbonate) also occur. The use of silver for the eyes and copper for the lips, standard contrasting enhancements for early Roman figural bronzes of high quality, is extremely effective in this bust. According to Barr-Sharrar, the nipple of the right breast and the tips of some of the ivy berries are also inlaid in copper, although they have not been tested. 8 The possibility that the surface of the bust, particularly the skin areas of the silenus, may have been deliberately treated to induce a darker patina than is usual in Roman figural bronzes also remains to be tested.
1. Such banquets developed, at least in part, from the symposia, or men's drinking parties, that played a central role in men's social lives in Greek cities from the sixth through the fourth centuries B.C. On the Greek symposium, see under AMAM inv. 67.61a-b.
