A balloon released in Cardiff in memory of mother-of-three Karina Menzies has been discovered – after flying 600 miles (1,000km) to a tiny village in Germany.
Friends and supporters released balloons last Friday in memory of Karina, who died in an alleged hit-and-run outside Ely Fire Station on October 19.
On Monday morning, a balloon was spotted by Reiner Gumprich, 68, while he was out picking mushrooms in a field in the village of Westerkappeln.
A message attached to it appears to be written on note paper from Michaelston Community College, on Michaelston Road, Ely.
The handwritten message reads: "In support of Karina Menzies. You will be missed, you were such an amazing person. RIP. Lianey Niki & Megan & Cerys."
Reiner, who found the balloon while he was picking mushrooms in a field, cut off the note and the balloon flew away.
The 68-year-old, from Westerkappeln, just outside the city of Osnabrück, in western Germany, cannot speak English so could not understand the message.
Reiner was shocked to discover an English note in a German field, so he took into the offices of his local newspaper, Westfälischen Nachrichten.
There, the journalists searched Karina's name on the internet and were shocked to read about the "horrible" alleged hit-and-runs which left 14 other people injured.
The newspaper yesterday contacted WalesOnline about the surprise find.
Journalist Björn Meyer, 34, said: "Normally when you find a balloon it's from a child with an address but this was written in English.
"The first thing I did was Google the name and saw what happened. It was very cruel."
Björn said staff at the paper were surprised when they realised how far the balloon had travelled.
"I was like wow – it's crazy. We looked up how far the balloon travelled to us, it's a long journey."
Otis Williams, a close friend of 31-year-old Karina who has helped organise fundraising efforts for her children, was amazed at the balloon's journey across the North Sea.
"What can I say? Karina's travelling the world," he said.
"It's really nice to know that everyone cares.
"Last time I got a phone call I was shocked to hear Hugh Grant donated money.
"It seems like every day I get a phone call with more shocking news."
Otis, who yesterday launched an online donation website for the Karina Menzies Fund, which will raise money for her three young children, said it was "unbelievable" how far news of the tragedy had travelled.
Meanwhile last night, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said all of the people injured in the collisions had been discharged from the University Hospital of Wales (UHW).
Karina's will take place at 1pm on Friday, November 9, at Church of the Resurrection in Ely. Her body will be taken by horse-drawn carriage from her home in Ely towards the church on Grand Avenue.
A book of condolence has also been set up by Roy Larcombe Funeral Directors. Everyone is invited to write a message in the book, which is available to sign between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.
All are welcome at the funeral and the service will be broadcast on a sound system outside the church. There will also be collection buckets to raise money for the two trust funds which are being set up following the alleged hit-and-runs.
One fund is for Karina's children. The other is for all those injured during the mayhem, including Karina's children.
To donate to the Karina Menzies Fund, go to www.justgiving.com/karinamenziesfund
Matthew Tvrdon, 31, from Cardiff, has been charged with one count of murder, 13 counts of attempted murder, four counts of actual bodily harm, and dangerous driving. He will face trial next year.

Vegetation distribution (maps, soil temperature, and microscopic examination) on the surface of heated ground at Tramway Ridge, Mt ErebusEntry ID: K053_1982_1983_NZ_1
Abstract: Descriptions of the vegetation distribution on the surface of steam heated warm ground, especially in relation to temperature gradients from cold to hot areas was investigated on the summit of Mt Erebus. Samples were removed from warm soil, mainly at the bottom of Tramway Ridge. Soil and vegetation samples were removed aseptically into sterile bags - approximately 1cm2 of soil surface to a depth ... of about 1cm. All material was examined microscopically in the field up to x1000. Algae present in the samples were recorded on a subjective five point quantitative scale (absent, rare, occasional, frequent, abundant). Soil temperatures were measured up to 5cm within the soil but the most relevant data was the surface temperature. Broad scale and detailed maps of the warm ground were made. An area of the major study site at the bottom of Tramway Ridge was sketch mapped with the aid of a tape measure in order to show the extent of vegetation cover. Three small areas showing zonation in vegetation colour around hot spots were mapped in more detail. Vegetation colour, soil surface temperature and positions of samples were marked on these maps. General photographs of site topography and detail of vegetation and other feature within the sites were taken.

Quality The data is very well described and documented in the publications.
Some cultures may still exist and are held by Landcare Research, New Zealand. The quality of these cultures is unknown.
Field notebooks, diaries, etc are retained by the investigator.
Access Constraints If the cultures are wanted to be transeferred from Landcare Research, the receiving lab needs to have the necessary containment certification (i.e. PC2 containment) and transfers have to be done according to MAF protocol. Otherwise the work needs to be done in the Landcare Research Molecular lab.

COLUMBIA — The South Carolina Senate voted Tuesday to eliminate the agency that handles much of the state's bureaucracy and put much of its duties under the governor's control.
The 36-2 vote represented progress on an issue that has consumed the Senate since the legislative session started last month, plus much of last year. It also hands a win to Gov. Nikki Haley, who refers to the Budget and Control Board as a big, green, ugly monster. The approved amendment abolished that board, marking a major step in the debate. It could mark an end to the powerful, five-member board that oversees the 1,000-employee agency. That board consists of the governor, comptroller general, treasurer, and the chairmen of the House and Senate budget-writing committees, who control issues ranging from mid-year budget cuts to bond approvals to the state health plan.
Haley said the measure is about streamlining government. It puts day-to-day operations in a Cabinet-level Department of Administration, to handle duties such as property and fleet management, and computer technology.
"It's time for South Carolina to step up for the rest of the country," Haley said. "This is not about power. It's about accountability and making our government smarter."
Former Gov. Mark Sanford, who was usually on the losing side of a 3-2 vote, fought unsuccessfully throughout his two terms to get rid of the board unique to South Carolina, even vetoing funding for the agency, though that was later deemed unconstitutional.
By executing both legislative and executive functions, the hybrid commission runs counter to how government should work, said Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort. He and Sen. Vincent Sheheen, D-Camden, have co-sponsored since last year an amendment eliminating the agency.
"It feels like a major step forward," Sheheen, who's sponsored bills on the idea for years, said of the vote. "It's worth the time and effort. Once this passes, we'll look back 30 years from now and know we've moved South Carolina's government to the future."
Debate on the bill will continue Wednesday. The House passed its version last year, as it has for several years. The effort has repeatedly died in the Senate.

Spinal Decompression
Sponsored Links
Are you suffering from:
· Scoliosis
· Slip discs
· Herniated disc or
pinched nerve
· Sciatic leg pain
· Degenerative disc
· Chronic pains: back,
neck , hip, legs, etc
· TIA or Strokes
· Muscle / sport injuries
Spinal Decompression can help relieve all you pain and discomfort!
Spinal Decompression is the latest technology to treat spinal problems. It is a non-invasive procedure which gently decompresses the spinal discs through the use of a spinal decompression table. The machine uses a linear force to pull on the body thereby creating negative pressure between each vertebra. This will cause any misaligned discs to be sucked back into place. This means the space between each vertebra is adequate or back to its natural alignment so blood and oxygen can now get into the area which is essential for healing.

This will allow us to provide a way to error out in a bit more friendly way when the user is trying to use config(1) on a too old or too recent source tree. To achieve that, introduce the "version NUMBER" statement which can be use about anywhere in the config files. Also, use two defines, CONFIG_VERSION (which is the actual version of binary), and CONFIG_MINVERSION, which is the minimum version the binary supports. Allowing a range of versions serves several purposes: first it allows me to introduce the versioning without requiring it to be used right away in the kernel tree, which means it will be possible to introduce new features of config(1) rather progressively in the future. E.g., using 'no pci' in a config file could only require the new version in that config file, so that the rest remains compatible. In the end, an actual bump of the main config system (i.e., in conf/files) will only be required when e.g., ioconf.c semantics change. (Mostly-)silently accepted on tech-kern.

Nvidia, chip supplier to Audi, Mercedes, Tesla and others, is developing the Co-Pilot, an artificial-intelligence tool that can learn the behaviors of individual drivers and determine when they are operating outside their norms.
The system will eventually learn a driver's standard posture, head position, eye-blink rate, facial expression and steering style, among other indexes. Based on a vehicle's capabilities, the driver will be warned or automatically driven to a safe spot when conditions warrant.
Until vehicles can drive themselves, it will be up to drivers to pull over once they feel drowsy. But drivers tend to make excuses, believing there is no danger because they are just a few minutes from home, or they are not really as tired as they may feel.
"The more tired you are, the less able you are to change your behavior," such as by pulling off the road for a short rest, said Mikael Ljung Aust, a technical specialist working on drowsiness mitigation technologies at Volvo's Safety Center in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Hey, Hospital Keepers! Guess who's coming to spend the night?
Recently, we had a special overnight guest at the San Diego Zoo's Jennings Center for Zoological Medicine. Gao Gao, one of our giant Pandas, took a routine "trip to the dentist," and then had a sleepover with us. This visit involved coordination and communication between many parties: panda keepers, hospital staff, security officers, and construction crews.
Construction crews? Yep. Panda Canyon is going through quite the transformation. The Zoo's Veterinary Services Department was instrumental in facilitating completion of a major phase in the Panda Trek project. By allowing Gao Gao to remain at the hospital following his scheduled procedure, panda keepers were able to use remote holding areas in the Giant Panda Research Station to house the remaining pandas as far away as possible from the impact of the construction activities.
To safely transport him to the hospital, Gao was injected with an anaesthetic while resting comfortably in his bedroom. Once he was sound asleep, Security Department staff cleared the way, and Gao was whizzed up the hill to the hospital. During a routine exam to assess his overall dental health, Gao received a full dental exam and cleaning. But when an animal is on the table, especially a panda, everything is checked. Head to toe, or in his case, nose to tail! These exams provide great opportunities to follow up on health conditions and to monitor changes that might have popped up over time. Measurements were recorded; radiographs were taken; eyes, ears, and other things were investigated; and nails were buffed…really!
Gao Gao's keepers came up during his exam to check on the patient, of course, but more importantly to bring up some familiar items and set up his "home away from home." During his short stay at the hospital, Gao had one inside room and one outside room, along with a tunnel leading to his transport crate. Once his exam was over and our sleepy VIP (Very Important Panda) was awake enough and ready to investigate his overnight accommodations, I gave him access to leave his crate and explore his new space.
Would the red carpet treatment meet his standards? Would he shift back in to his transport crate so he could go home tomorrow? Would he be comfortable enough to take his medicated biscuits and other treats from me? Would he settle in well enough to eat his dinner and get a good night's sleep? I am happy to answer with a resounding YES to all the above.
Upon release Gao didn't do too much exploring; he just walked out of his crate like a pro, down the tunnel, took one slow, sauntering lap around the outdoor room, glancing at and smelling things half-heartedly before entering the indoor room, turning around and plopping down in the doorway with his head resting on the threshold. Panda keepers would call to check in, and I'd report that other than "pouting" a little bit, Gao was doing just fine.
Our "house guest" was very well-behaved considering the eventful day he had and the crowd of admirers he drew into the hospital compound. "Panda" was whispered more than once, and I was reminded of the spell that was cast over me when I worked with these magical creatures years ago as a keeper. Maybe it was nostalgia on my part, or maybe he did remember me a little, or maybe he is just a really well-trained panda, but Gao Gao got up and came right over when I called him and was content to sit in his crate and let me hand-feed him.
Once dinner was over, and I started closing up shop, Gao knew it was time to go to bed. He slowly made his way back to his bedroom, curled up in his big pile of shavings and hay, and went to sleep. The next morning, Gao peeked his head out when I greeted him and was soon "reminding" me that he hadn't had his breakfast yet. "Excuse me, lady. What kind of establishment is this?" I'll have you know that we start our day at 6:30 a.m., not the usual 6 a.m. of his keepers, so according to him we were already behind schedule! Please forgive us, Mr. Panda, sir.
After he had eaten his breakfast, and once it was confirmed that the construction was done, Gao was called in to his crate and rewarded with some treats and love from his keepers. The crate doors were closed, and after everything was secured we wheeled him onto the back of a truck. Gao knew it was time to head home; he was ready and waiting patiently. But as the truck was pulling away, Gao was looking out the back watching us wave at him. As he rounded the corner to go down the hill and back to his home, Gao moved his head closer to the bars as if to say to his keepers, "Home, James" and to us "Thanks for your Hospital-ity!"

A-Z Microfiction: J is for Johannesburg
Tau wasn't religious. He never had been. But still he removed his hat as he reached the door of the Regina Mundi church.
Inside it was quiet and dark. Regina Mundi Day had been a couple of weeks ago, and Tau tried to imagine the church full of people. He found he couldn't. He always came when it was empty - although that was difficult, because of the tourists.
Tau walked along the aisles, running his fingers over the pits and scars from the bullets, before he knelt. He set his briefcase down and joined his hands, thinking of the people who had once stood here. He didn't pray, but he gave thanks.
For the rest of the A-Z world tour, click on the tag below. Thanks for reading :)

The United Nations and the Brazilian government are launching an Internet debate around 10 themes for a green planet to elicit suggestions from experts and the public for next month's Rio+20 summit.
"The objective of this initiative is to bring civil society closer to the negotiations" of Rio+20, the June 20-22 UN summit on sustainable development, Brazilian chief negotiator Andrea Correo do Lago said Thursday.
The site www.Riodialogues.org is open to all those who wish to make or vote on suggestions.
The 10 themes revolve around 10 sustainable development targets including unemployment, the economic and financial crisis, fighting poverty and food security and nutrition, among others issues.
The discussions will serve as a basis for a June 16 to 19 roundtable hosted by the United Nations and Brasilia, with invited guests to include various development experts, private sector representatives, non-governmental organizations and academics. Three suggestions from each theme will be submitted to the Rio+20 leaders.
The gathering, the fourth major summit on sustainable development since 1972, is expected to draw 115 global leaders and 50,000 participants from around the world.

The apartment is very well located and the host - Natasa - makes you feel at home. My husband and I had a great stay and will definitely rent a room with her again next time we visit Lisbon, a very charming and exciting city!
Overall this property is really great. Friendly hosts, great location, tram stop right outside, non touristy area, close to supermarket if you want to cook, well equipped home. Lots of local cafes along the street which are cheap and friendly. We were given the attic room with small attached bathroom. Nice and private and access to the deck. Also were able to use hosts kitchen and lounge room. Thanks Natasa.
We had a short but very pleasant stay with Natasa. She is very friendly and helpful. The room is small but cozy and has a great, big bed. We would stay here again and can recommend it to all!

Very good location with a beautiful terrace with a view on just a short walk away. The hosts were very welcoming and easygoing and the room perfectly clean! A very good choice!
Small room, nice decor. Good location on the tram all easily accessible. Unfortunately for share very small bathroom.
Kleines Zimmer, nett eingerichtet. Gute Lage mit der Tram alles gut erreichbar. Leider sehr kleines Badezimmer zum teilen.
The room we stayed wasnt the one shown in the picture, it was one upstairs, more private, very warm, however smaller and you cant keep standing in half of the room.
There is a bathroom with everything you need but not that comfortable and the water was changing (hot/cold) during shower.
The location is very good and easy to go to several places, just be awared that "Rua da Graça" is not the same place as "Largo da Graça", even though its very close.
The owner left us maps, water and card to be recharger in the train station, but we saw that a bit late ;)
The city is very nice and fully of places to visit, wth a lot of history.
Pleasant stay in Lisbon, apartment is well located close to the famous tram 28, conforming to the photos. Cohabitation with the owners not clearly expressed regrets the lack of their own home, not sharing to define the rules of life. We would have liked to see some opinions Lisbon!
Séjour très agréable à Lisbonne, appartement très bien situé à proximité du fameux tramway 28,

Our wilderness is under an unprecedented attack from Trump and anti-conservationists in Congress. Help us fight back.
LOS ANGELES – A proposal to permanently protect federally-owned land and rivers in the San Gabriel Mountains is strongly supported by 75% of voters in local communities, according to a new poll released today. Preserving publicly-owned lands and waterways in Southern California is also strongly favored by voters, the survey found.
SAN FRANCISCO – The White House release Tuesday of "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States" forecasts a dim future for California if action is not taken immediately.
SAN FRANCISCO — The U.S. House of Representative approved a landmark wild land and rivers protection bill by a vote of 285 to 140 today, following years of bipartisan work to protect hundreds of thousands of acres of wilderness. The legislation which passed the U.S. Senate on March 19, will now head to President Obama's desk. Mr. Obama is expected to sign the legislation.
WASHINGTON – Approval today by a key Senate Committee means legislation to permanently protect wilderness and wild and scenic rivers in the Eastern Sierra and Northern San Gabriel Mountains, Riverside County, and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park is bound for a vote by the full Senate. Together, the three bills will protect more than 732,000 acres of wilderness and over 80 miles of wild and scenic rivers for future generations to enjoy.
The old growth Jeffrey Pines that take root atop one of the most rugged mountain ranges in the country aren't what immediately comes to mind when one thinks of the Los Angeles area. But these beautiful peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains are just an hour's drive away for more than 17 million people.
In wilderness, one expects a stunning vista or two. You anticipate the spicy aroma of towering pine and fir. And, if you are lucky, the fleeting sight of an endangered species, maybe a Nelson's bighorn sheep scuttling up a rocky peak.
This time, though, our hike in California's Cucamonga Wilderness in the San Gabriel Mountains began with a humbler sight.

Japan Wants to Start Whaling Again: Here's Why They Can Legally Do It
Japan's Prime Minister has said that, despite a court order banning Japan's whaling practices, the country will begin whaling again in the near future. So how will Japan restart its so-called scientific whaling research?
In a speech made to lawmakers last Monday, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told a parliamentary commission that, "I want to aim for the resumption of commercial whaling by conducting whaling research in order to obtain scientific data indispensable for the management of whale resources. To that end, I will step up efforts further to get understanding from the international community."
The PM added that whaling is a part of Japan's history and that "It it regrettable that this part of Japanese culture is not understood." To that end, he appears ready to pursue working around a UN court order that currently bans Japan's whaling research program.
The ICJ and the Qualified Victory for Anti-Whaling Groups
Earlier this year the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the highest court of the UN, issued a historic ruling saying that Japan's recent open-ended whaling practices in the Southern Ocean were illegal and did not meet the criteria for Japan's "scientific" needs, as has been Japan's reasoning.
Australia brought its case before the Hague, claiming that Japan was using the pretense of scientific research in order to get around the 1986 moratorium on whaling that Japan signed and ratified. Japan had been allowed to keep whaling under Article VIII of the Whaling Convention which allows for medical research exemptions, but Australia argued that Japan was exploiting that rule and had essentially ignored the international law.
The ICJ found that while the research program, known as JARPA II, might "broadly" be called scientific research, Japan had failed to "establish that the program's design and implementation are reasonable in relation to achieving" its stated goals.
Japan had received special permits to carry out this so-called research. The court blocked those permits from being issued with Judge Peter Tomka saying, "Japan shall revoke any existent authorization, permit or licence granted and refrain from granting any further permits in pursuance to the program. Japan has violated the memorandum on commercial whaling in each of the years during which it has set catch limits above zero for minke whales, fin whales and humpback whales."
The ruling also called into question why Japan must always kill the whales if, that is, Japan's intended purpose really is for scientific research. Commentators noted at the time that this is about as scathing as the court could be without being overtly hostile.
Australia was pleased with the ruling, as were wider whaling groups, but this was always a qualified success. Why? Because there's a simple way Japan can still conduct its whaling operations.
How Japan Can Continue Whaling
The ICJ ruling did not in fact ban Japan from whaling, as many reports may have led us to believe. What it did say was that Japan cannot continue its JARPA II research program because the program is unlawful. As such, all Japan need do is present a new program to the International Whaling Commission in September. If that appears to conform to regulations, Japan could be back to whaling shortly thereafter. Now Japan's whaling program might receive stricter scrutiny than before, but the threshold remains relatively low.
It should also be noted that Japan's extensive coastal whaling, which affects many small cetaceans and some whose numbers are dangerously low, is not affected by this court ruling, nor are its operations in other waters — so Japan is still whaling, just not in the Antarctic.
There is evidence that with the suspension of this season's (2014-2015) Southern Ocean whaling efforts, the whale meat market in Japan and abroad has suffered, but Japan's fishing minister continues to insist that dealing in whale meat isn't technically illegal. That is disputed by international groups, but gives an idea of how Japan and the international anti-whaling community continues to talk past one another.
It seems, then, that despite the ICJ ruling, Japan will now attempt to resume its whaling practices in the Southern Ocean. We may see further attempts at court intervention from countries like Australia, or it may be that Japan will at least for a time follow the rules on so-called scientific whaling. The point is, though, it now seems whaling will probably return to the Southern Ocean by next year.

Neon (Ne) is atomic number 10. I have no idea where you got 56, which is barium.
Barium is BA. The show is Breaking Bad. Clearly they just didn't change that part. You can look up atomic numbers, but your brain is clearly slow with making obvious connections.
Barium would've been "Ba" in the original Breaking Bad title/ graphics. Good catch on the atomic number though!
Likely it was copied thoughtlessly from the original Ba, for Bad. It ought to be corrected.
Meanwhile, how about Ho[mer] or Li[sa]? or even Pa[tty] and Se[lma]?

Running late on this, I know.
On Monday Aaron Donald picked up the first of what has an excellent chance at being several more awards for everything he did this past season.
The Pittsburgh senior defensive tackle won the Bronko Nagurski award given to the nation's top college defensive player.
The 6-foot, 285-pound Donald was presented the award at a ceremony Monday night in Charlotte.
The ACC Defensive Player of the Year, Donald averaged 2.2 tackles for loss per game while ranking 10th in forced fumbles and 13th in sacks per game.
He had 28½ sacks for his career with one game left to play.
"I'm just so excited," Donald said. "I think it is a great way for my father to celebrate his birthday. And I think it's huge for the University of Pittsburgh. There were so many people wishing me well."
Tonight is the presentation for the Lombardi Award — best lineman or linebacker. On Thursday night, it's the ESPN-centric extravaganza of college sports awards where Donald is up for the Bednarik Award (defensive player of the year) and the Outland Trophy (best offensive or defensive interior lineman).
Pitt hasn't had a defensive player win national awards since Hugh Green in 1980 swept the Lombardi, Walter Camp and Maxwell awards.
Donald was happy to get the award on his dad's birthday since he was the one that played such a huge role in instilling his work ethic. And his mom was just as proud.
As Donald walked up to collect the award, his mother stood, cheered and shouted, "Hail to Pitt!"
When his parents joined him on stage, before he was mobbed by TV cameras and photographers, Donald and his father shared a long embrace.
"I got my dad a nice birthday present today," Donald said. "I'm truly humbled and truly blessed."
Despite the chances at winning up to 4 national college awards, Donald was not even among the top-six vote recipients for the Heisman Trophy. So there is still room for outrage and claims of disrespect.
Hail to AD, Hail to Pitt!
H2P Bowl over the Greens
Off topic, but I just saw that Mack Brown is supposedly going to retire. Hmm, the AD that hired Fraud Graham at ASU recently took over as AD at Texas, and now they need a coach. I'm thinking there's a good chance that the ASU fans are going to be crying in their beers in couple of weeks when Toddy Boy vanishes in the middle of the night and appears in Austin ready to accept his "dream job" back in Texas. Who will give odds?
Not sure if Donald wins the Outland. He should clean up on the defensive awards however.
Please don't try to bring up Hugh Green to argue the point in Aaron's defense, Aaron Donald is GREAT, Green was THE GREATEST! Still remember him as a true Freshman on a play where he literally launched himself over the defensive linemen attempting to block him to sack the QB without ever touching the ground in the backfield, simply a Superman move!
What makes Aaron's accomplishments so impressive however is that he put up those stats while taking on double teams all season. If we had just one other guy in our front seven that had half the motor that Donald has, our defense would have been much much better overall this season.
In any case, Mylie Cyrus could have just as easily done her most recent video riding on Aaron's shoulders in the buff because he was definitely a one man "wrecking ball" for Pitt during his entire career. Sweep the table, including the Outland Trophy Aaron, cause you da man!
BTW, note the difference in the number of responses to a negative occurrence (Henry) as opposed to this postive post. The same phenomenon happened on Panther Prey. I guess we Pitt Fans are among the most cynical (and with reason.)
I would hope that we are just sumply frustrated and not truly cynical. While I hated some of our losses, I believe that a solid program is being built by Paul Chryst. I am optimistic that better times are coming.
Btw, I watched the Alabama/Auburn game and kept thinking how Pitt fans would be reacting if we had done the job Alabama did that day to give away the game. "We don't pay the assistants enough and get bad play as a result." "We need a special teams coach." "It is the AD's fault that we lost."
H2P Bowl over the Greens
It has been an honor and a privilege to watch him develop as a player; to be able to bask in some reflected glory. Most importantly, it is truly inspiring to see someone so genuine, so humble and yet so accomplished and know that in some way Pitt contributed to his development as a man.
Congratulations to you Mr. Donald. Congratulations to your parents and your family.
All good things to you and them now and in the future.
Aaron Donald – Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All ACC defense

On another note, I've seen various mentions that the new AD at Texas (Patterson) hired Graham at ASU. That is not correct. Graham was hired by Lisa Love, who was fired a few months later.
When I watched the Nagurski Awards on Monday night, I also saw somebody, who looked a lot like Coach Chryst, with his stuck out the top of a smart looking tux as well, singing the praises of Aaron Donald, but it couldn't have been Chryst since we know that he is only allowed to wear sweatshirts. LOL!
Yeah, it couldn't be Coach Chryst. Or, if it was, certainly someone would have pointed out that maybe his cumberbund was on upside down. I always have problems remembering if the folds are supposed to on the upside or the downside.

Former Pitt Assistant Coach and good guy (despite being a PSU Alum) Greg Gattuso is now Head Coach at Albany.
He was an assistant past 3 years at Maryland
OK, I know we have strayed here. But, I have heard the opposite. That the pleats were placed there way back when with the idea of providing a small pocket for your tickets to the opera—or to the Outland Award ceremony to bring it a little closer to topic.
not becuse of what they would pay him but becuse they would not come up with enough money for his ASST coachs so pitt is not the only school that is cheap with a buck.
Very concerned. Following Pitt sports is an addiction. Maybe he went to a Pittaholics anonomous meeting to break the spell.
TG from az state or maybe chryst what a joke.
… oh, and was one of the critical 4 star recruits we absolutely have to get to survive???
He is a good example of picking wisely… we will see soon if this group does the same no matter the stars…
Not a bad haul at all for a kid whose three collegiate offers were Pitt, Rutgers and Toledo.
I absolutley love his Mom shouting "Hail to Pitt!" that's a clip that needs to be played for every recruit and during every home game next game.
Thank you for being a Panther, Aaron Donald.
Aaron Donald committed to Pitt in April of 2009. Perhaps fittingly, he was the first WPIAL kid to commit to the 2010 class. I remember watching him on a Fox Sports Pittsburgh broadcast during his senior year. I think it was against Fox Chapel. He spent the entire night absolutely decimating their offensive line. He was unblockable. Comparisons to names like Sean Gilbert were tossed around, at least in terms of sheer dominance.
For whatever reason – I guess mostly because of his size – he had only three offers. Pitt. Rutgers. Toledo. Maybe it was because he committed relatively early to Pitt and he told other schools he wasn't changing his mind. Maybe he just didn't generate the interest.
Whatever it was didn't matter.
Donald got to Pitt and immediately went to work. On a 2010 team with significant veteran defensive line depth, he worked his way into the two-deep. Forget the redshirt. He saw action in his very first collegiate game at Utah and never looked back.
Donald's career at Pitt represented a lot of what is right about college football and frankly, what I wish we'd see more of among some players these days. As the last few years of his career played out and he emerged as a national talent, stories of his work ethic on and off the field emerged. And in the end, his career proved to be very simple – he was certainly a talented player to begin with, but his natural talents were exceeded by his work ethic.
We've been lucky because we've seen variations of this a few times the last decade or so – guys who came in however ballyhooed they may have been, played at high levels and in most cases, became great ambassadors for the program. Larry Fitzgerald. Lesean McCoy. Dion Lewis and Ray Graham. Now Aaron Donald.
My hope for the future of this program is that current and future players learn from his example. He didn't necessarily have the ideal "measurables", but he knew his strengths, he knew how to develop them, he let himself be coached and he prepared.
His career parallels an incredibly tumultuous time in Pitt football history – a period that wasn't easy to watch at times as a fan of the program. But Donald's play over the last three years has helped make it worth it. I can't wait for the bowl game just because it'll be one final chance to see him in a Pitt uniform.
It would be nice to see him rewarded with going in the first round but he's probably a solid second round pick and worst case slips to the third round. Unless his trials or pro day is spectacular, his size will go against him. Great motor, heart and head.
So proud of him in high school….@ Pitt. ….and we'll be proud of him in the NFL, too. 🙂
If Baker Mayfield, who is a walk on with no scholarship, leaves Texas Tech and comes to Pitt, can he play right away or does he have to sit out a year?
H2P and H2AD
He stikes me as the kind of individual that simply out works everybody else and has overcome his lack of God given natural ability or physical gifts with unlimited training and dedication to a regimented work ethic. Now, how does that translate to providing inspiration and leadership to the rest of the team is my question? A fine example to be followed for sure, but it is wasted on those type individuals that fail to pay attention to the process involved in what it takes in the making of a champion like Donald has become.
For example, I doubt that Rushel Shell ever considered Aaron's work ethic as a quality to be emulated and adapted into his own character, if you know what I mean?
Hopefully Chryst is filling the Panther ranks with the kind of kids that WILL appreciate the opportunity that they've had to share the weight room, practice field and locker room with such a rare individual as Aaron Donald though, because guys like him only come along rarely, even in the elite programs like the Ohio States and Alabamas.
Hard to beat a team that has a dedicated work ethic and perserverence, even when their overall talent level is less than ideal. I hope that the "Donald Factor" hangs around in the heads of the upcoming young bloods who were fortunate enough to personally know and play with the guy, if so, that can't do anything but help the mindset of this team going forward.

About The Exiles of Greywall'd
Lu never wondered if her name was strange. 'Lu Killer'. How was she to guess that her ancestors fought ferociously against the royal family for generations? How was she to know that her family lived in Greywall'd, a completely different world? All that 16 year old Lu cared for was when she could next listen to her music, next be left to her own devices and when she could truly feel at peace.
But her life changed completely when a young boy with a hat fell from the sky into her train…

Made by Russell & Erwin around 1887 these 4 x 4 antique hinges have a splendid mix of geometric and foliate designs! Look closely to see the bowl of flowers towards the top and along the bottom a row of urns. As wonderful as the designs are the condition is just as fabulous. They look almost brand new with their bright bronze plating on the high areas and thick black paint in the recessed areas.
The only issue with the two primary hinges is that the pins were missing and I had to replace them with slightly different ones. They have an incised banding and are not as gold as the originals. The third hinge is an extra that has quite a bit of wear and it is being held together by a nail rather than a pin (a slightly thicker nail would be better). Im including that hinge in case you need an extra. Painting the dark cast iron of that hinge and the pins for the other two would make them all blend together. The pins and lower finials remove easily and are interchangeable.
The above price is for all 3 hinges.

President Barack Obama put a spotlight on rising income inequality in a major economic speech on Wednesday, arguing that the disparity is poses a "fundamental threat" to the American dream.
Marshaling both the recent papal exhortation by Pope Francis and a flurry of statistics reflecting a growing income gap between the wealthiest Americans and most others, Obama urged Washington to adopt policies to address the economic divide.
"The combined trends of increased inequality and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the American dream, our way of life, and what we stand for around the globe," Obama said at a speech in Washington, D.C. hosted by the progressive think tank Center for American Progress.

Helen - posted on 06/06/2010 ( 5 moms have responded )
Hi ladies,
wanted to get your thoughts on a little problem. My 5month old girl has recently developed an aversion to getting into her car seat. She is a fantastic baby, literally never cries or fusses and until recently, always went straight to sleep in the car.
In the last couple of weeks, whenever I try to put her in her seat, she immediately starts screaming. she arches her back and tenses up and just seems to hate being put in. As soon as i pull her out again, she immediately stops and will often continue grinning and laughing. I've checked every physical sign i can see for discomfort (seat belt too tight, not enough room, etc) but can't find anything that might be upsetting her. I saw another lady with a 5 1/2 month old baby the other day having the same problem.
any suggestions/ experiences with this? i'm at a loss!

Vodacom Bulls lock Paul Willemse will be out of action for three months following a knee injury sustained in Saturday's win over the Southern Kings.
A MRI scan on Monday revealed an MCL injury to the big lock, ruling him out of action for the next three months.
Willemse, a member of last year's Baby Boks team, will undergo an operation on Wednesday to repair the damage.
The lineout has been one of the key attacking platforms for the Bulls this season, and with Flip van der Merwe suffering a recurrence of the chest injury that he sustained on tour, they may well be a bit thin on the back-up.
Van der Merwe will need to undergo a fitness test on Tuesday but is expected to be fit to play, but depending on Willemse's status, the Bulls may need to call up Wilhelm Steenkamp to the 22-man squad.
They are a bit thin at lock as Grant Hattingh still has three weeks out with a busted thumb and Cornell Hess is out with ligament damage for six to eight months.
If Van der Merwe doesn't come through on Tuesday, the Bulls may well shift Jacques Potgieter to lock for the match, but that would be a worst-case scenario for the team.
There was also a sigh of relief that most of the injury concerns from the Kings game didn't look too serious on Monday morning.
While Frik Kirsten (elbow), Deon Stegmann (hip), Callie Visagie (ankle), Chiliboy Ralepelle (calf) and Lionel Mapoe (foot) all sat out the day's practice session, they will all be ready for selection when the team is announced on Wednesday.
The team also received good news that midfielder Wynand Olivier has recovered from his knee injury and is fit for selection, while Dewald Potgieter has also cleared a fitness test after having to withdraw from the team last week.
Francois Hougaard's ankle is also recovered, and it is hoped that this week will be the week that he finally makes a return after six frustrating weeks on the sideline.

A Decade Of Torment
Party politics is customarily suspended in time of war. It should have been suspended in America this weekend, with a crisis raging in the markets and confidence in the nation's leadership on the line.
The purpose of an election campaign is to expose weakness in contenders for high office. Today the purpose should be to restore confidence in their strength.
Friday's presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain was, as a result, a flaccid affair. They were clearly discomfited, like boys caught fighting during a funeral. On the economy, McCain was appeared hesitant because of his association with the Republican administration and his attempt to have the debate cancelled. Obama was calm and authoritative, but also aloof and preppy. Neither was able to answer a clear question about the financial rescue package.
On foreign affairs, McCain was able to unleash his debating style and it was more effective – assuming the viewers considered the Iraq war a triumph. He seemed happy with the old belligerence, with talk of "looking into Putin's eyes". Above all, he spoke with emphasis and experience, the chief contrast being with not Obama but George Bush.
Since McCain, above all, could not afford to lose, but had come to seem an old and uncertain man, "a conviction politician without convictions", he emerged from the event, in my view, with his standing enhanced. Obama was the Obama we know: smooth, responsible but slightly ponderous, almost an elder statesman before his time.
But then these debates are overhyped, research showing them barely altering poll ratings by a percentage point. They are like Formula One races, compelling only for the possibility of a crash. They offer the hope that, for a moment, a carefully drilled candidate might drop his guard and come down to the level of ordinary mortals. It is by the character of their mistakes that we judge our leaders – and perhaps that is no bad thing.
For all this, watching the debate was like asking Mrs Lincoln about the play. Outside the chamber, a politically existential event was unfolding. Never was globalisation more vividly on show than in pictures of world stock markets hanging on every intonation and nuance of the inquiry into the $700 billion rescue package for American banking.
Gangrene in the tiniest toe – dud mortgages at the bottom of the housing market – had spread poison to the entire financial anatomy, collapsing credit and destroying the most hallowed banking institutions.
To most Americans this remains inexplicable. They understand war, but they cannot understand the credit crunch. They read about the Great Depression but cannot believe it might happen to them: that government could be so incompetent as to take them back to the mid-20th century.
The result has been one of the most emphatic populist reactions in recent history. Not since the 1890s tub-thumper William Jennings Bryan have the "little people" expressed themselves so forcefully against what Bryan derided as "the few financial magnates who, in a back room, corner the money of the world". In e-mails, faxes and phone calls, they too have told their congressmen: "You shall not press down upon the brow of labour this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold."
The result obstructed an astonishing request for American taxpayers to donate an average of $2,300 each to bail out banks for their crassness and profligacy. They declined to do so. They certainly declined to grant the Treasury secretary, Henry Paulson, powers over their money that explicitly "may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency".
That is the kind of power that Tony Blair or Gordon Brown might demand from a British parliament, or George Bush from Congress only in the post-9/11 hysteria of his Patriot Act. America is still a working democracy and not easily susceptible to those wielding the politics of fear.
Voters were unwilling to distinguish bankers, whom they hate, from banks, which they need. When Paulson said: "I hate the fact that I have to do it, but it's better than the alternative," they in effect replied: prove it. He appeared to want something worse even than a credit collapse, the evisceration of constitutional liberty.
Having been told, as a matter of faith, that the obscene wealth of Wall Street was in their long-term interest, Americans were furious last week to be asked to underpin that faith with a staggering tax bill, one that would foreclose any election promises to improve health or welfare (an issue neither candidate on Friday was able to address). To be told that this bill would be beyond scrutiny was more than democratic flesh and blood could bear.
So where now? Commentators are constantly asked how they think all this will impact on the presidential campaign. Any fool can explain why a crisis aids a Republican rather than Democrat, or perhaps a Democrat rather than a Republican. Any fool can explain that America will go for the experience of an older man, or the novelty of a younger one. The rest of the world can only watch in mute horror. What is this mighty democracy playing at?
The home of rawboned capitalism has been forced into the greatest state intervention in free markets in peacetime. Its president talks of panic, a word no leader should let pass his lips. Politicians and regulators may be driven by an enraged public to wreak vengeance on those bankers who brought them to this pass, yet they know they must not kill the goose on whose golden eggs the system relies.
We should fall back on a wider sense of confidence. By the time the scale of the collapse was apparent in Washington, the focus of authority shifted from a despairing executive to the forum of the people, to Congress. The people seized control.
This was initially bad news. Markets that had surged on first news of $700 billion in aid slumped again. Crude politics had arrived on the scene to have its day, and markets dislike that. In one of his better phrases, Bush remarked that "the legislative process is sometimes not a pretty one".
Yet a rescue not backed by the representatives of those who must pay for it is a shallow rescue. Capitalism depends on credit, but the sustenance of credit depends on the willingness of citizens to underpin it in an emergency. A nation that once defended itself with Minutemen – ready to guard their homesteads at a moment's notice – must consult if it wishes to mobilise them in an emergency.
Those watching Congress fight its way to a deal this weekend witness a nation publicly wrestling with its troubles. Americans are not prepared to take authority on trust. They have not repeated the gullibility they showed towards Bush's scaremongering over Iraq. A crisis is no excuse for executive arrogance.
America can be at its best with its back to the wall: argumentative, unpredictable, certainly not pretty, yet still the rock on which western security – and financial credit – rests. This crisis is not passed. When it is, its immediate legacy will be a presidency from hell, George Bush's final poison pill to his successor.
Yet the knowledge that all America has been involved in the rescue is a security rather than a shock. Whether Obama or McCain wins this election, he will endure agony paying for the crash of 2008. He should at least take strength from the manner of its rescue. It was executed by the mob, not the club.

until i quit playing wow and jumped into console gaming. i quickly found myself LOVING borderlands 2. the game was amazing and a breath of fresh air from wow. fast forward to now, gearbox software released a level cap increase and the new "UVHM" game mode that increased enemy health/damage by 4 times. and a new character Krieg for 10$.
ill make this extremely short.
krieg is completely broken, his MAIN ACTION SKILL is broken and useless and he is almost entirely designed off of "on kill" abilities. in borderlands that means when you kill an enemy this particular talent activates. which is nice EXCEPT FOR END GAME YOU DONT GET TO USE ON KILL ABILITIES SINCE ALMOST ALL RAID BOSSES HAVE NO ADDS. so end game he is practically useless.
almost all of their on release characters are now COMPLETELY BROKEN because they didnt scale their talents for the new UVHM mode, you have top tier talents ticking for 5k damage when NORMAL MOBS have over 5+ million health.
they have NO SUPPORT on the forums, do NOT address ANY issues and simply ignore the current issues and just release new content that costs money without fixing their broken content.
if you want to know how broken and horrible their coding/scaling is, a game where they proclaim billions of items/weapons etc, if you removed THESE ITEMS,
bee shield
the sham
love thumper
the game would be unplayable and you wouldnt make it alive to the first town. there has been ZERO response from gearbox on this.
so APPRECIATE AND LOVE WOW DEVS. at least they make an effort to explain and reason why things are the way they are.
i miss wow so much. im just waiting for ret to be fun again.

Recently I have been doing some ranked testing with Mage (Im 3 star master), my score so far with this deck is 30 wins - 4 looses (2 of the looses were due to unlucky starting hand (nothing to play before turn 3-4) and in 2 games opponent just had god-hand, nothing I could have done). I didn't see deck like the one I'm playing here so I thought I would share it with you guys :)
|Export to BBCode Export to Cockatrice Export to MarkDown Export to Html Clone this deck
Minion (20)
Ability (10)
|Loading Collection
Cards that I'm still not sure about in this deck are Mana Wyrm, Novice Engineers and Loot Hoarder, I used to run 1 Acolyte of Pain instead of the Hoarder.
How to Play
Basically what you do with this deck is rush your opponent down to 15-10 Hp and finish the game with Pyro or Fireballs. So try to have Mana Wyrms, Shattered Suns, Frostbolts, Leper Gnomes and Water Eles in your starting hand. Play strong early creatures, buff them, attack your opponent whenever its possible and let them do the trading.
- Water Eles are really good because they have 6 hp and cant be removed easily by anything, and if you can keep your Ele alive you can keep freezing heroes like druid,rogue and warrior every turn preventing them from using weapons/hero powers.
- Argent Commander is great for getting the last needed damage in because of charge or taking down bigger creatures because of divine shield
- Leper Gnome is actually great 1 drop, if you can get it on turn 1 it will probably deal 2-6 damage and If you can buff it with Shattered Sun Cleric you can trade well, + 2 damage from Deathrattle, also it works well with Defender of Argus.
- I have little mixed feelings about Mana Wyrm, sometimes it can be super good, for example when you play it on turn 1 and turn 2 coin into Sun Cleric making your Wyrm 3/4 but sometimes its kind of useless because this deck has only 10 spells.
- Faerie Dragon is super good because you can play it on turn 1 with coin and it cant be removed with spells so you will most likely get at least 6 damage done with it.
- Defenders are here to keep you safe against rush decks until you can draw Blizzards and also to buff your guys obv.
- This deck also has great control because of blizzard and Cone of Cold

My My my have we had a time. Right now we're zipping down the highway on our way back to Port Aux Basques. We'll be taking the overnight ferry back to Cape Breton, and tomorrow we're performing live on Caper Radio (at 4 pm!), and playing at Upstairs with John Gill! Picking up shows while on the road rules!
Since I last gave an update, we've played 4 shows, made countless new friends, been to the easternmost tip of the continent, eaten delicious Fi' n Chi', been screeched in, and been out past sunrise every night.
What a marvelous part of the world!
On Wednesday night, we played at a beautiful little pub in Corner Brook called the Bar Room. Once again, we were the only act playing that night, and without any kind of local promotion we ended up playing to the bar staff. Usually, when a band plays to the bar staff, they walk away empty handed, with no new fans and no new friends. With the staff at the Bar Room, this was not the case. Awesome group of people, amazing place, can't wait to come back!
Upon our arrival in St. John's the following evening, we had a few hours to spare before loading in at the bar. We decided to take a walk downtown in search of some serious "authenticity" which was known to be in the region. Walking down George Street at 6 PM is like walking through an amusement park on the last day of school. It's almost too quiet, only a few people around in the corners putting the finishing touches on their preparations. No one really talks about it, but everyone knows than in merely a few hours the place will be crawling with revelers, packed full to bursting.
It is Serious Party Infrastructure.
Our first stop was a lovely little pub called Kelly's, which was just a few blocks down from what was to become our home away from home in St. John's, CBTG's. We picked Kelly's for no real reason other than it's offer of inexpensive fish and chips, but we couldn't have been happier with our decision. First off, there was a live folk singer playing (for free) to the bar at 8 ish when we walked in, which was excellent. Second, the fish and chips were both cheap, and delicious. Third, during our meal, the performer on stage announced that he would be joined for his next number by one of St. John's most celebrated tap dancers, a gentleman well in to his 70's, from what we could tell.
I have proof of this:
Seriously, couldn't have had a better first impression if we'd tried!
Next up, it was time to load in and meet our hosts for the weekend, the lovely crew down at CBTG's. The first thing I noticed was that the promoter for the show was someone I'd met in my youth, Davey of the legendary Canadian punk band The Brat Attack. He and everyone else in the place seemed really excited to watch us play, which was a lovely experience. We sold almost as many CD's before the show as we did afterwards, which has to be a good sign. Lots of awesome locals joined us on Thursday, and we played to a wonderfully enthusiastic crowd, who all promised to bring their friends to the next couple shows.
After the show, we wound up hanging out at the bar with Sandy, the owner and Newt, the ex-owner of the bar next door till something absurd like 5 am. We learned lots of local politics and shared many road stories. It was fabulous. I can't say I remember it all that clearly, but the warm glow of love certainly remains.
We managed to stumble home to our buddy Steve Doyle's place on Long's Hill (which is both long, and a hill, for the record) crashed out, excited as all hell for day two!

Mariah Bruehl's inspiring Playful Learning Spaces e-course
has a new session starting on April 13 and it runs every Wednesday for
six weeks. Sign up and learn design thoughtful environments that encourage
kids to learn and create.
It may sound like a tall order, but with weekly updates that include a
video, assignments, relevant links, opportunities to connect with other
participants on Flickr, and inspiring Pinterest
boards, there's certainly no shortage of information to help you do
just that. Plus the info remains available long after the course is
over. Which is nice to know on those nights when something –or, in my
case, more likely, a little someone— might get in the way of completing a week's assignment.
Whether you're a homeschoolers, teacher, or just a mom like me
who needs some hand-holding in the quest for order, I hope you'll bet
here. I will be. And my kids won't know what hit them. (Particularly
since it won't be some wayward toy falling off a crowded shelf as they
walk past.) —Stephanie
Congratulations to Lauren B. for winning a spot in the upcoming Playful Learning Spaces e-course!
