TITUSVILLE — A former Cocoa man was indicted Friday on a charge of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of a 42-year-old man whose body was found along a road northwest of Cocoa in November.
The Brevard County grand jury indicted William Dennis Bentley, 43, in the death of Marvin Allen Rathbun, 2373 Colony Drive, Melbourne, on Oct. 23. Bentley also is wanted for failing to appear for a court appearance last month on charges of conspiracy to traffic marijuana. An arrest warrant and $50,000 bond have been issued on that charge, court records show.

It seems SF Mayor Gavin Newsom and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums will be discussing the state of their respective cities' at the San Francisco Business Times Annual Mayors' Economic Forecast Breakfast (phew — try fitting all that on an invitation).
There's one strange thing about this shindig, which starts at 7:15 a.m. Wednesday at the Hilton on O'Farrell Street.
It costs $95.
We're thinking that if you can afford to spend that on breakfast — even a fancy one with brioche french toast and two big-city mayors — you probably shouldn't be too worried about the state of the local economy.
Still, if you're so inclined, you can get more info here.

Hose me down, I need it!! - Degrade and dominate and drench me
14th August 2013 - 19:43 | London UK, NW London | Age 39
Submissive white guy here seeking one or more selfish dominant straight or bi blokes who'd like to hose me down with your steaming piss. You can also degrade me with spit/gob, slaps and general humiliation. Cock service too of course!
Can be one-off or regular. You on your own or you and some mates or other straight blokes you connect with.
I can accommodate in NW4 often if you're discreet. Or possibly drive to you if you're in the NW London area. Please don't contact me if you're from far away, seeking local guys only.
Also, don't bother contacting me if you're not definitely dominant etc. If you wanna suck my cock or want me to piss on you or even fuck you, then you're clearly not the selfish dominant straight bloke type I'm after to degrade and abuse me. If you're definitely straight and selfish and get off on using and degrading another male who's a pathetic sub, then we could be a match.
if you have other straight mates who you know are into the same sort of abuse and humiliation, then you need to use me.

Conquering DePaul Blue Demons, Marquette eyes March Madness
On the occasion of Marquette's 17th victory, its 22nd straight at home and its hold on first place in the Big East, it's time to ask a simple question.
How good are these No. 24 Golden Eagles, and how far can they go in March?
"I think the sky's the limit," guard Vander Blue said Saturday after the 89-78 victory against DePaul. "I think we have everything we need.
"This year the NCAA will be wide open. So many No. 1 teams have lost. We have that swagger about us where teams don't want to play us in March. We're getting that March focus."
OK, so Blue is a 20-year-old junior with commensurate perspective. But he also said in October that this had the potential to be the best Marquette team he's been a part of, so we'll see.
So what about it, Oliver Purnell?
"They are a solid team," the veteran DePaul coach said. "I don't think they have any supers like Dwyane Wade, but they've got eight or nine solid players and they play well together. They play sticky defense and they believe they're good.
"I like this team. They're not the most talented team in the league like Louisville and Syracuse, but they can beat both."
Before the season began, Buzz Williams said he didn't think his team was very good. Solicited for a re-evaluation after it went to 17-5 overall and 8-2 in the league, the typically loquacious coach was decid edly succinct when asked if the Golden Eagles were any good now.
"We're not," he said.
But that is Williams' self-described mental curse. He is so consumed with the things that go wrong that his perspective is occasionally warped.
"I don't think you can be great when you allow a team to make 50% of its shots on your home court," Williams said.
Williams had a point, but anyone could have seen this game coming. The Blue Demons (10-13, 1-9) came into the game No. 2 in league scoring and last in defense. They make tough shots and stop no one. The Golden Eagles got caught up in a transition game and won without exacting too much concern from the big-money donors in the courtside seats.
Blue had 18 points. Junior Cadougan, whom DePaul could not keep from the rim with a tank, scored 17. Chris Otule, who made all five of his shots and scored 10 points, is becoming something close to a legitimate big man in time for the tournament.
That's a team in every sense of the word, yet Williams declares he cannot count many ways in which the Golden Eagles are better since the Carrier Classic scrub.
"I don't think we're in the NCAA Tournament as of today," he said.
True again, because catastrophic injuries and an extended losing streak are always on the edge of Williams' thinking. But in a softer moment, he allowed, "With this team, it's easy to point out deficiencies in the roster. But it's been very fun to coach because they play hard and are accepting of how they have to play.
"Sometimes it's hard to coach great players because they think they have all the answers."
Blue is becoming a very good player, so he rolls with Williams' skepticism.
"Buzz tells me I'm not any good," Blue said. "He says the team is not any good. I don't know if he means it or not. But we're tied for first place in the conference."
For the record, Williams said he had no problem with Blue talking about March focus in early February. The coach also noted how mature Blue has become, how poised Cadougan has been in the last two games after not showing up at Louisville and the way Otule is becoming a very good college player.
Eventually, Williams conceded the volatile nature of college basketball this season. He predicted a wild finish for the Big East and the country.
Whether Marquette will be a part of it remains to be seen, but at least the Golden Eagles have made themselves a legitimate part of the conversation.

American Hudson River School Painter
1826 - 1900
American artists of the mid-nineteenth century usually went to Europe or the western frontier in order to expand their repertoire. Frederic Church went first to the tropics and volcanoes of South America. His reasons make a fascinating chapter in the history of American art and thought.
Church was the best known pupil of Thomas Cole, who recognized the singularity of American wilderness landscape and was the first to invest it with heroic grandeur. Church, like other painters of his generation, John Kensett, Sanford R. Gifford, and Jasper Cropsey, sketched and painted the Catskills and mountains of New England. In his early pictures he gave to water a reflective, burnished surface, to sunset clouds dramatic color and substance, and painted distant detail so clearly that his picture space seems filled with transparent radiance. By the early 1850's, Church was not only painting views of specific American places with topographical exactitude, he was also combining separate elements of meticulously detailed scenery into landscapes of heroic breadth and depth.
Church was inspired by the fascinating variety and complexity of nature as extolled by John Ruskin, the English writer, critic, and champion of J. M. W. Turner. Church also believed, like his contemporaries, that close study of nature was essential to grasp unique underlying truths which had moral implications. Thus, he was very impressed by the writings of the German naturalist, Alexander von Humboldt, whose influential Cosmos: Sketch of a Physical Description of the Universe first appeared in English in 1849. Von Humboldt's goal was to synthesize existing scientific knowledge into a theoretical system proving that nature was one great whole animated by internal forces which tended towards harmonious unity. He sought to prove that behind the complexity of the natural world was a divine order and he recognized the importance of landscape art in revealing this order. Von Humboldt specifically encouraged landscape painters to travel to those parts of the world having the greatest botanical and geological variety. Von Humboldt, who had set off for the tropics of South America in 1799, so inspired Church that in 1853 he retraced Humboldt's 1802 route from Barranquilla, in what is now Colombia, to Guayaquil, Ecuador, through the northern Andes where he made sketches of rivers, waterfalls, and volcanoes. One result was The Andes of Ecuador 1855, Church's largest painting to date. Seen from a lofty viewpoint, amid rich, tropical vegetation, a river tumbles into a lake which empties into a deep, misty gorge. The gorge leads into the distance and range after range of mountains suffused with a sunlit haze. The depth and breadth are so vast that it may be more accurately called, rather than landscape, earthscape.
With his reputation firmly established by such tropical scenes, Church returned to the tropics in 1857 accompanied by Charles Remy Mignot (1831-1870), a fellow landscape painter from the United States. He landed this time on the coast of Ecuador at Guayaquil and pushed east into the interior to sketch the volcanoes Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, and Sangay.
In this panoramic view, Church combined scientific exploration and artistic license (altering the shape of the volcano and the terrain surrounding it) to create a symbolic and evocative portrayal of the vast New World. The artist produced at least 10 finished paintings of the dramatic volcanic mountain. He was inspired by the writings of German natural historian Alexander von Humboldt, who interpreted the wonders of the natural world as evidence of God's role as Creator.
Church's paintings, such as Cotopaxi, have been linked as well to the idea of "Manifest Destiny," a term used during this period by those Americans who not only wished to extend the boundaries of the United States to include Western territories but also favored intervention in the affairs of South America.
By January, 1858, he had begun his most ambitious, complex, and largest tropical scene, Heart of the Andes, 1858. Technically brilliant in its detailed rendering of an immensely wide and deep vista, the painting was seen on payment of twenty-five cents by more than twelve thousand people during three weeks in Church's New York studio. The artist brought together into one scene a tropical river flanked by lush dense vegetation, upland plains, and towering mountains, snowcapped at their highest elevation-geographically and climatically more than one region could possibly contain-dazzling in grandeur and mesmerizing in detail.
In 1859, however, Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species turned on its head Humboldt's concept that nature evolved toward harmony as the result of a guiding divine force. According to Darwin the state of nature was competition and struggle, not harmony. Thus was shattered a basic American concept of nature and landscape painting, namely, that man could turn to nature for moral guidance. By the late 1870's, the very ability to detail miles of scenery had become less admired than the creation of poetic visions.
In the 1860's and early 1870's, Church turned away from the crystal clear, meticulously detailed views of vast expanses of the tropics in favor of sunlit landscapes of America, icebergs of the far North, and the coast of Maine. In 1867 he made his first trip to Europe and visited the Middle East, which provided exotic subjects for paintings of the Old World. When he did paint scenes of the tropics in the 1870's, they were quite different in both style and mood, as we see in the Butler Institutes In the Andes of 1878.
The left foreground suggests the generally rich abundance of tropical flora, while the two palm trees convey individual and specific natural histories. This we would expect from Church, but the shadowed foothills and distant violet-gray mountains separated by a layer of yellow cloud and a hazy atmosphere which blurs distant detail reveals a new and different vision. The scope of this view is expansive, but great distance is implied rather than described, and we must draw on our imagination to complete the landscape. In the absence of a single mountain protagonist the wake of a riverboat catches our attention. We feel linked to this human element, which is not lost in a superabundance of botanical and geological detail as in earlier pictures. Light has now become a major concern, and we look into a sun whose dazzle unifies the water of the river, the distant mountains, and the sky into a shimmering whole. The painting has a quiet rather than an epic mood. The setting is exotic, but the mood is pensive. Darwin had injected randomness into nature, hitherto seen as tending toward unity. Church, at the end of his active painting career, like many American painters in the last decades of the nineteenth century, sought through light a poetic unity in place of a scientific one based on a painstaking detailing of the physical world.
From: FREDERIC EDWIN CHURCH 1826-1900
Frederic Edwin Church was an American landscape painter born in Hartford, Connecticut. He was a central figure in the Hudson River School of American landscape painters. While committed to the natural sciences, he was "always concerned with including a spiritual dimension in his works".
The family wealth came from Church's father, Joseph Church, a silversmith and watchmaker in Hartford, Connecticut. (Joseph subsequently also became an official and a director of The Aetna Life Insurance Company) Joseph, in turn, was the son of Samuel Church, who founded the first paper mill in Lee, Massachusetts in the Berkshires, and this allowed him (Frederic) to pursue his interest in art from a very early age. At eighteen years of age, Church became the pupil of Thomas Cole in Catskill, New York after Daniel Wadsworth, a family neighbor and founder of the Wadsworth Atheneum, introduced the two. In May 1848, Church was elected as the youngest Associate of the National Academy of Design and was promoted to Academician the following year. Soon after, he sold his first major work to Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum.
Church settled in New York where he taught his first pupil, William James Stillman. From the spring to autumn each year Church would travel, often by foot, sketching. He returned each winter to paint and to sell his work.
Between 1853 and 1857, Church traveled in South America, financed by businessman Cyrus West Field, who wished to use Church's paintings to lure investors to his South American ventures. Church was inspired by the Prussian explorer Alexander von Humboldt's Cosmos and his exploration of the continent; Humboldt had challenged artists to portray the "physiognomy" of the Andes.
Two years after returning to America, Church painted The Heart of the Andes (1859), now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the Tenth Street Studio in New York City. It is more than five feet high and nearly ten feet in length. Church unveiled the painting to an astonished public in New York City in 1859. The painting's frame had drawn curtains fitted to it, creating the illusion of a view out a window. The audience sat on benches to view the piece and Church strategically darkened the room, but spotlighted the landscape painting. Church also brought plants from a past trip to South America to heighten the viewers' experience. The public were charged admission and provided with opera glasses to examine the painting's details. The work was an instant success. Church eventually sold it for $10,000, at that time the highest price ever paid for a work by a living American artist.
Church showed his paintings at the annual exhibitions of the National Academy of Design, the American Art Union, and at the Boston Art Club, alongside Thomas Cole, Asher Brown Durand, John F. Kensett, and Jasper F. Cropsey. Critics and collectors appreciated the new art of landscape on display, and its progenitors came to be called the Hudson River School.
In 1860 Church bought a farm in Hudson, New York and married Isabel Carnes. Both Church's first son and daughter died in March, 1865 of diphtheria, but he and his wife started a new family with the birth of Frederic Joseph in 1866. When he and his wife had a family of four children, they began to travel together. In 1867 they visited Europe and the Middle East, allowing Church to return to painting larger works.
Before leaving on that trip, Church purchased the eighteen acres on the hilltop above his Hudson farm-land he had long wanted because of its magnificent views of the Hudson River and the Catskills. In 1870 he began the construction of a Persian-inspired mansion on the hilltop and the family moved into the home in the summer of 1872. Richard Morris Hunt was the architect for Cosy Cottage at Olana, and was consulted early on in the plans for the mansion, but after the Church's trip to Europe and what is now Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, the English architect Calvert Vaux was hired to complete the project. Church was deeply involved in the process, even completing his own architectural sketches for its design. This highly personal and eclectic castle incorporated many of the design ideas that he had acquired during his travels.
Olana State Historic Site is now owned and operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Taconic Region and receives extensive support from The Olana Partnership, a private, non-profit organization.
The main house is open to the public for guided tours. A visitor center offers a film and panel exhibit as well as a Museum Shop, operated by The Olana Partnership, offering books and many items inspired by the exotic locales of Church's travels and paintings. The grounds are open year-round, 8am-sunset, for hiking, picnicking, snowshoeing or just enjoying the view.
From: Wikipedia
El Rio de Luz (The River of Light) is a fanciful pastiche based on numerous sketches and notations that Church had made during an 1857 trip to South America. Despite the time-lapse of twenty years, the tightly focused realism, the overall tonal harmony and restrained coloration, and the compositional unity all lend a remarkable cohesiveness to the work. Church rendered the verdant foliage with exquisite attention to detail, and his virtuoso treatment of tropical sunlight diffused by morning mist makes the atmosphere seem tangible. Red-breasted hummingbirds, a flock of waterfowl, and a distant canoeist occupy the scene, but they do not disturb the overall mood of tranquility. Confronted with the glowing light and heavy vapors of this raw landscape, the viewer is invited to liken daybreak in the tropical rainforest to the dawn of creation itself.
Church maintained that Jerusalem was the best picture he ever painted. When the painting was given a solo showing at Goupil's Gallery in New York in 1871, spectators flocked to see it, often forming six rows of people at a time and using opera glasses to see the astonishing details more clearly. Church published a pictorial key so that the painting's admirers could locate sacred sites as well as appreciate Jerusalem's accuracy.
In 1844, Church was the first formal pupil accepted by Thomas Cole, America's leading landscape painter. From Cole, Church learned both a reverence for nature as a subject and a commitment to making his art express noble and lofty ideas. Church made his professional debut at the National Academy of Design in 1845. By 1848, when Morning and three other of his works were exhibited at the American Art-Union, he had already gained a significant reputation.
The image was inspired by a sunrise Church saw during the first weeks of the Civil War. It is significant that Church does not depict a physical flag but one that appears as a wondrous apparition in the sky. Church's manipulation of the sky suggests that the Union has God and nature on its side and that the Union is in harmony with the natural order of things. The symbolism of the image is potent and patriotic. Church's flag appears torn but vibrant, suggesting the enduring strength of the Union. He was a strong believer in the Union cause and was undoubtedly pleased when the image was used as the basis for a lithograph made for wide distribution.
Church's interest in South American scenery was inspired by the writings of Alexander von Humboldt, a German naturalist. During his travels to South America, Humboldt was struck by the tremendous range of climates in Ecuador: icy mountaintops, grassy plains, and steamy jungles. Humboldt saw this diversity as evidence of the divine presence in the creation of the world. South America was a kind of Garden of Eden to which all other climates of the world -- and thus life itself -- could be linked.
Church was rigorous in his attempts to achieve truth to nature. The foreground is wet and glistening because it has risen from under the water; the changing level of the sea has left horizontal stains on the main iceberg. The brilliant blue veins in the iceberg are caused by water frozen in the cracks of a glacier.
Perhaps the artist intended twilight to suggest the end of a cosmic cycle---a meaning that coincides with the feeling that the Civil War (imminent in 1860 when this picture was made) would change American civilization forever. The panoramic splendor created by brilliant clouds floating above a tranquil landscape also suggests the divine authority of "manifest destiny," the idea that Americans of European stock had a right to the continent. Seen by large numbers of Americans in a touring exhibition organized by Church himself, this picture was marketed as essentially "American"---a comforting, patriotic image of the American wilderness.

Four years after 19-year-old Aman Kachroo was ragged to death by four senior medical students in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, his tormentors were released from jail on grounds of "good conduct" on Thursday.
According to television channel reports, the Himachal Pradesh government decided to write off their remaining sentence on account of their ''good conduct'' and allowed them to complete their medical course at a medical college in Kangra.
But the government said that the four accused would be barred from taking up government jobs.
In 2009, Aman Kachroo, a first-year student at a medical college in Himachal Pradesh, was severely and persistently ragged by seniors who were allegedly drunk.
On March 7, 2009, his four seniors attacked him so brutally in the boys' hostel that he had to be rushed to hospital the next day. The post-mortem showed that Aman died of a brain hemorrhage.
A probe panel appointed by the Supreme Court after national outrage found that the teenager had repeatedly complained to the college and asked for help, but was ignored.
Ajay Verma, Naveen Verma, Abhinav Verma and Mukul Sharma were convicted and sentenced in 2010.
Kachroo's death led to the introduction of new guidelines at colleges across the country to protect students from ragging.

If so, it can be worked around by passing i915.powersave=0 to the kernel, and was fixed for me by http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/intel-gfx/2010-February/005763.html Note that the debian kernel defaults to i915.powersave=0 so shouldn't be affected by this bug anymore.

Great Guide On How To Fix Your Home's Interior Lorita Pierre
Submitted 2013-05-06 21:57:48 If you want a fresh look to your home
Shon Coleman Jersey
, do not think that you have to spend a fortune. Simple changes to drapery or just rearranging the furniture can sometimes give the new look that you desire. Changing light fixtures can give a room a new look without costing too much.
If you always have interior design in mind when you shop, always have fabric or color samples in your purse or glove box from the actual room you are decorating. A small swatch representing the basic color scheme or pattern from your home will ensure that everything you purchase will coordinate perfectly!
Clean up your window areas. If you are like many, your window sills may be cluttered with items that keep light out of your home. Or you may have a bit of grit and grime covering your glass. In both cases, it's tough for light to enter your room! To get the best light to create a dramatic effect for your interior design, clean these areas up.
Try using the 2012 color of the year in your rooms. This year, the chosen color is, "Tangerine Tango." This warm orange has a lot of depth to it and it looks sophisticated. It combines red's power with yellow's friendliness. You can easily incorporate it into your art, walls, carpet, furniture, and more.
Whenever you are designing a room in your home, it is a good idea to arrange your furniture in small groupings that cater to conversation. No matter how big or small your room is
Carl Nassib Jersey
, closely placed chairs or sofas next to a table give a room an inviting and comfortable feel.
If you want to add a dramatic touch to a room without repainting it entirely, you can pick one wall to paint in an accent shade. This should be a vibrant color that coordinates with the rest of the room's colors but definitely stands out. Consider using a primary shade in a room that's otherwise painted in pastels, for instance.
When redecorating your space, always think of resale. Though you might plan to live in your home for some time, resale values are important because situations can change. If your colors are too bold, to taste specific or too trendy, it can negatively impact the future resale value of your home.
Hanging artwork on a wall is a great way to liven up any room. However, it is important that you do not put up too much; this will just make the room look cluttered. If you have a large wall and want to fill up space, just get a larger piece of art.
When you're considering lighting for your room, try to use as much natural light as possible. Natural light can leave you in a much better mood than the light from a lamp. Utilize windows and skylights whenever possible. Not only will it improve your mood; it'll save you money on your electric bill.
A great tip for interior design is to layer your window treatments. This will give your room a more elegant look and feel. It also has the added benefit of giving you better control of the natural light in your room as one of your layers can be sheer.
Hanging a collection of picture frames on a wall can be hassle-free. Place a large brown craft paper on the floor or table and arrange all the frames on it. Trace around the frame and where the nail would go. Tape the paper on the wall and put the nails in the place you marked on the paper. Remove the paper and hang your frames.
By taking on one of the ideas in this article, you can make your home look more exciting, and you can be more comfortable. Just try out the tips here

Well, here we are with page 21 - the last page in Chapter 3!
In chapter 4, we will follow the Girls as they journey to Washington DC - and you can be assured they will turn the town upside down!
You'll be seeing some familiar faces in chapter 4, helping the girls in their investigation and search for the mysterious Breitlenger Jar.
Chapter 4 will be at least as big as chapter 3, if not bigger. I've got lots of action planned for the girls - and I hope to be able to move along a little faster with this chapter.
I created a lot of custom mats for this page, including the displays in the alien spacecraft, and Betty's monitors. They're a combination of renders in Poser, Mandelbulb 3-D, and Filter Forge 3 in Photoshop CS6.
I want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts regarding my dad - it is deeply appreciated.
Thanks so much for dropping by! I hope you enjoy this series as much as I enjoy putting it together!

Hey there! I have come to a realization that I might have a slight obsession with wearing clothes with black and white in it. What's crazy is now black and white is soooo in which is no good since I already like those colors lol.
I like this outfit and what makes it better is how cheap it is like all my other outfits. I've had this necklace for about two years and never used it. When I purchased these shoes a few months back I knew it was a match made in heaven or my closet lol.
What I wore: Sweater- $5 F21 Necklace- $1 Rue 21 Ring- Under $2 Charlotte Russe
Jeans- $20 TJ Maxx Shoes- $4.80 Target

Re: Sit and stand strollers for dummies??
We are stroller people too. I have had many different sit and stands. Here is my take
We used the standard Graco double stroller until the baby was out of the bucket for the first two.
Baby Trend sit and stand-- like it for my older boys. There isn't a sun shade over the sit/stand part (at least on the one I had) they were 4 and 2 when I got it. At one point had three kids on it when my 4 year old neice was with us. With a newborn I didn't lke the idea of the bucket being out front. It just seemed so far away.
Joovy sit and stand--hated it. way to small. I have bigger boys and it was horrible to push
Graco ready to grow---love, love, love this stroller. If this had been available when I had DS2 i would have bought it and never needed another one. I used it as a standard sit and stand last spring at a festivle and had both my boys and my niece all riding on it. The sun shades cover both the front seat and the stand part. That is important to me for my red headed kiddos. It is soo easy to push even with the three kids on it. Last weekend I used it for the first time with the baby. My brothers GF daughter (age 1) sat int he front seat and I put the 2nd seat on and my baby trend bucket sat sideways perfectly in the seat. It was so nice for the zoo trip. I plan on keeping this one for a long time.
wife and mom-- no other special labels. Just trying to do the best I can.

Never underestimate the power of a good sweat. It has been two weeks since I hit the trail. I could tell by my mood it was time to get back into.
So true.
Last night I let him eat popcorn for dinner.
With cookies for desert. Some days are like that.
I have been making lots of fresh food too. Like salsa verde
My basil plants are HUGE. So tonight it's pesto.
We have a ginormous butterfly bush next to our patio- I have never seen so many butterflies before. It's amazing
And the crepe myrtles look so pretty right now.
If it wasn't so stinkin' hot I would be out there right now. But for now I will enjoy from the inside, even though our ac isn't working either. Boo.

Snorkeling Off the Beach in Cozumel
Located about 12 miles off the eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, the small island of Cozumel attracts droves of beach lovers each year. Once a sleepy island, Cozumel became a favorite spot for snorkeling and scuba diving after famous underwater explorer, Jacques Cousteau, visited the island in 1961 and revealed the abundant marine life in its reefs. If you prefer to forgo a scuba experience, you will find that snorkeling off the beach in Cozumel can be just as rewarding.
If you snorkel in Cozumel you will find temperate waters in all shades of blue with up to 250-foot visibility. The water temperature ranges between 77 and 82 degree F throughout the year. Shades of water include the lightest crystalline turquoise to deep indigo. Shallow water depths begin at 10 feet and can be as deep as 100 feet. You will find snorkeling off the beach in Cozumel different from many other places, especially the mainland, because water depths drastically drop off after you head out a few yards.
The largest natural coral reef in the Western Hemisphere, the Mesoamerican Reef is located off the coast of Cozumel. More than 18 miles of reefs compose the Mesoamerican Reef, which can be reached from multiple points on the Island. Chankanaab Park is a popular location for first-time snorkelers to gaze at the coral structures and religious structures off the beach in Cozumel. Those with advanced snorkeling skills can consider heading to Santa Rosa for a wall dive that will reward them with some of the most colorful coral in Cozumel.
Marine Life
When you go snorkeling off the beach in Cozumel, you will have the opportunity to see between 200 and 250 species of tropical fish of all sizes, including parrot fish, trumpetfish, triggerfish, angelfish and ceros. You also will see a wide variety of invertebrates, coral and sponges, in addition to seahorses. The reefs in Cozumel also are home to some species of sharks, including the nurse shark and the black tip reef shark. Both sharks are harmless bottom feeders that will not bother you unless provoked. If you are lucky, you will spot a splendid toadfish, which is native to Cozumel.
When you go snorkeling off the beach in Cozumel, you can bring your own gear or rent or borrow gear from one of many dive shops on the island. If you choose to take a professional tour, you can find options at the ferry docks in San Miguel and almost every hotel lobby on the island. You should never touch the coral because Cozumel's reefs are protected areas and it is against the law. Additionally, snorkeling in and around the coral reefs can be dangerous. Not only can you cut yourself, but you might get stuck on the coral, so you should never snorkel by yourself. To avoid cuts on your feet, make sure to wear water shoes when snorkeling off the beach in Cozumel.

Just recently, I was having a discussion with a regional business owner. He was extremely pleased with that he was Number One in Google for his business name and main search terms, which bring him business. However I went house and searched for the same terms and discovered that he was fortunate to be ranked 3rd or fourth. What is taking place here, and could this be happening to you?
The Sparks NV 89431 Emergency Plumbers Which Can Take Your Breath Away
Before provide a call to emergency plumber Dublin, much better to go through specific procedures so that you can control dreadful scenarios to be raised. The most essential thing is to switch off the water supply initially. This is required in order to repair more water damage and it helps to stop the flow of water. When you repair the water circulation, you can control the scenario to some level. If you have an overflowing toilet, the scenario is under control until and unless you flush in the next morning. You might go with cooking area sink instead of restroom sink but this is not the solution really. You have to call a plumber to get a rewarding option of such a circumstance.
The best ways to do- First off, shutoff the electricity switch to avoid electrical shock. Try to find the leak. If it is in the pipeline joint, tighten it & seal. If the crack remains in the middle of pipe or in the tank, you will have to replace it as quickly as possible.
In Depth Analysis And Lasting Solutions
Since the tank has actually begun dripping, the number one reason that you need to change a water heater is. When to replace a water heater and when to repair it, lots of people question. When it has actually started dripping, the answer is. There is no feasible hot water heater repair for a leaking tank. Problems related to no hot water can nearly always be fixed, but a leaking tank indicates the end of the roadway for that water heater.
Water pressure reduces when there is any block in the pipelines. Then it is tough to remove, if the blocks are to the middle of the pipes. Calling a plumber is the finest way to solve the problem. They will have block detection devices that can identify blocks in pipelines and fix it.
Drain Services In 89431
One way to prevent such expensive repairs is to be on top of your plumbing in the very first place. Numerous today take the do it yourself approach also to keep things up and less most likely to wake them up at the wee hours of a holiday on a weekend. At the very same time understanding your options in advance might at least assist you contain the expenses a little in case you aren't able to avoid the requirement for a 24 hour plumber.
If you get up to discover that a person of your pipes has actually frozen, attempt handling it with a hairdryer. By making use of a low level of heat the job may take longer, nevertheless you will not have to deal with the possible hazard of utilizing a lot more hazardous approaches, while at the same time staying clear of that call to the neighborhood plumbing professional.

There might be a bigger issue and you need to call for emergency plumbing services if almost all drains in your house are not working well.

2011 NFL Offseason Awards: Predicting the WinnersJanuary 4, 2012
Soon enough, the Associated Press will announce the winner(s) of various NFL awards. Technically, that will happen on February 4th from 9-11 p.m. on NFL Network.
But why wait one month? I'm going to tell you now which players (and coach) will win the awards. In fact, I'm also going to tell you who the runner up will be as well.
Without further ado, here are my thoughts on who will win each respective award:
Most Valuable Player (MVP): Aaron Rodgers, Packers
- Runner-up: Drew Brees, Saints
One can certainly argue that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, the reigning league MVP, had an MVP-like season. Not only did Brady lead the Patriots to 13 wins and the No. 1 seed in the AFC, but he threw for the second-most yards (5,235) in any season in NFL history. That said, the quarterback that threw for the most in NFL history did so this season as well: Saints quarterback Drew Brees (5,476).
As great of a season as Brady had, the MVP voting will likely come down to Brees and Rodgers. Brees threw for more yards than Rodgers (5,476 to 4,643), one more touchdown (46 to 45) and completed a higher percentage of his passes (71.2 to 68.3 percent). In fact, Brees set the single-season mark for completion percentage in addition to 300-yard games (13) as well.
If Rodgers did not sit out Week 17, he would have come close to (or reached) the 5,000-yard mark as Brees, Brady and Detroit's Matthew Stafford did. After all, backup Matt Flynn threw for 480 yards and six touchdowns, both of which are franchise records, on Sunday. Perhaps Flynn's great performance is an argument against Rodgers, but Rodgers has been nearly flawless this season and the Packers have won a league-best 15 games.
Rodgers set the NFL record for highest quarterback rating (122.5) and started the season with 12 straight games with a passer rating of 100-plus. In addition, he set the franchise record with 45 passing touchdowns and threw only six interceptions in 502 pass attempts. For the fourth straight season, Rodgers has rushed for at least three touchdowns and 200 yards.
Offensive Player of the Year: Drew Brees, Saints
- Runner-up: Aaron Rodgers, Packers
While I think Rodgers will win the MVP (as noted above), I can see Brees taking home the award for Offensive Player of the Year. Rodgers was more efficient (he threw 155 less pass attempts than Brees), but he led the NFL in passer rating and yards per attempt (9.2).
Brees was more prolific setting records in passing yards, completions (458) and 300-yard games and leading the league in passing touchdowns. He closed out the season with seven straight 300-yards games and threw a total of 14 touchdown passes in his final three games.
Out of these two players, there is no wrong choice as both have had remarkable seasons and it wouldn't surprise me if we see co-MVPs.
Defensive Player of the Year: Jared Allen, Vikings
- Runner-up: Jason Pierre-Paul, Giants
After much internal debate, I am giving the award to Allen. Not only did he just miss out on the single-season sack record with 22 sacks, only four players had more forced fumbles than Allen (four). Allen also had 66 tackles, a safety and an interception for the three-win Vikings.
In the year (2001) that Michael Strahan set the single-season sack record (22.5) with the help of Brett Favre, he won the award.
Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, the team's first-round pick in 2010, came on strong in his second NFL season and finished fourth in the NFL in sacks (16.5). In the final four games of the season when the Giants needed to win, JPP had a sack in every game and a total of six sacks during that span. Of the players with double-digit sacks, no player had more tackles than Pierre-Paul (86).
If I picked a second runner-up, it would be Baltimore's Terrell Suggs. He finished first in forced fumbles (seven), tied for fifth in sacks (14.0) with San Francisco's Aldon Smith and had two interceptions as well. But Suggs had three great games (first game vs. Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Indianapolis). In those three games, Suggs had nine sacks and six forced fumbles. That means that Suggs finished with only five sacks and one forced fumble in his other 13 games this season.
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Cam Newton, Panthers
- Runner-up: A.J. Green, Bengals
Not only did Newton set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (14) by a quarterback, the rookie signal caller finished third in rushing yards (706) out of all rookies. Only Houston's Ben Tate (942) and Dallas' DeMarco Murray (897) had more.
Aside from his insane rushing statistics as a quarterback, Newton, the first overall pick, threw for 4,051 yards, which set the rookie record and he completed 60.0 percent of his passes. Despite being a rookie quarterback with no OTAs, Newton was one of only five quarterbacks to throw or run for a total of 35 touchdowns in 2011. The other four quarterbacks were Brees, Brady, Rodgers and Stafford. More impressively, Newton is the sole name on the list of players that have thrown for 4,000-plus yards and rushed for 700-plus yards in NFL history.
Related: Sean Beazley, one of our site's main contributors, named Newton as his quarterback MVP in fantasy football (see the rest of his picks) based on draft value. Sean projects Newton as being the fourth quarterback off the board in 2012.
Three other rookies that would be worthy of the award in any other season are Bengals rookies A.J. Green and Andy Dalton as well as Falcons rookie receiver Julio Jones. Green finished with 1,057 yards, which makes him the fourth rookie receiver to finish with 1,000-plus yards since 2000. If Jones had not missed three games, he would have done so as well. Jones finished with 959 yards and his 73.8 yards per game was a few yards better than Green's (70.5) and he had one more touchdown than Green (eight to seven).
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Aldon Smith, 49ers
- Runner-up: Von Miller, Broncos
49ers rookie Aldon Smith, the seventh overall pick in this year's draft, was only one-half sack away from tying the all-time single-season rookie sack record set by Jevon Kearse in 1999. Smith did not get his first sack of the season until Week 4, which means he finished with 14 sacks in his final 13 games. As noted above, Smith was tied for fifth in the NFL in sacks with Suggs.
Denver's Von Miller also finished in the top ten in sacks with 11.5 this season. Miller had 64 tackles while Smith had only 37 and both had two forced fumbles. The race for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year will be much closer than will the race for the offensive counterpart.
Coach of the Year: Jim Harbaugh, 49ers
- Runner-up: Marvin Lewis, Bengals
With no offseason, it appeared that the 2011 season would be an uphill battle for any team that had a new head coach or even a new coordinator or two. After all, there was virtually no time to implement new schemes and systems and/or evaluate talent. It seemed as though the teams that had the least amount of turnover would be best-positioned for success in 2011. And that happened with teams like Green Bay, New England and New Orleans all having tremendous success this year.
While there might not have been a huge turnover of player personnel in San Francisco, the 49ers were huge disappointments in 2010, which led to Mike Singletary's dismissal. Harbaugh turned the Niners around and got them to believe in themselves and win 13 games to earn a first-round bye. After all, "nobody" has it better than them. The 49ers ranked first in scoring defense and rushing defense and quarterback Alex Smith posted a 17:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
While Marvin Lewis has been head coach in Cincinnati since , it was a rookie offensive coordinator, quarterback and receiver that helped lead the team to a playoff berth despite playing Baltimore and Pittsburgh twice each per year. Granted they lost all four games to the Ravens and Steelers, but they beat the teams they should have despite plenty of change on the offensive side of the ball. In addition, they lost cornerbacks Jonathan Joseph to free agency and Leon Hall to a season-ending injury in the middle of the season.
Comeback Player of the Year: Steve Smith, Panthers
- Runner-up: Ben Tate, Texans
Smith (along with New England's Tedy Bruschi) won the AP Comeback Player of the Year award in 2005. Smith played in only one game in 2004 and set career highs in 2005 with 103 receptions, 1,563 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Excluding his rookie season and 2004, Smith never had fewer receptions (46), yards (554) or touchdowns (two) than he had last year. With Newton under center, Smith found a fountain of youth and finished with 79 receptions, 1,394 yards (third-highest total of his career) and seven touchdowns.
After being drafted in the second round in 2010, Ben Tate missed the entire season due to an ankle injury. This year, Tate was only 58 yards shy of 1,000 rushing yards. Tate finished the season with 175 carries for 642 yards (5.4 yards per carry) and four touchdowns. He also had 13 receptions for 98 yards.
Over the next couple of days, we will release predictions of all games during the wild-card round of the playoffs and full playoff predictions including Super Bowl winners.

Im not enforcing your rules....
- 32 Replies
SIL: You need to make the kids behave and follow rules. They know better than to have their feet up on the bed.
Me: I don't care if they put their feet on the bed in my house.
SIL: Well my Dad would kick their ass if they did that in our home so don't let them do it here. Don't let them do anything we don't allow them to do over there.
Their rules are ridiculous. Half of the time the kids get yelled at for playing, talking, breathing. Would you enforce someone elses ridiculous rules or tell her no way?
I wouldn't mind. If my sil has a certain rule that I don't, I'd respect it and remind her children that their mom doesn't allow it.
I agree with you. My house, my rules. I don't enforce other's rules at my home.
Depends on the rules. Keeping shoes off the bed seems like a pretty reasonable rule to me.
the only rule is if you get your butt in trouble whatever they get is what you get. so if its a time out my kids get a time out.. if it is a spanking my kids get one to.. thats how the rules work.. i have even told my friend if im not there whatever your rules are my kids have to fallow them..
LOL as long as their shoes were off while they were on the bed I don't care who has their feet on my bed...do they sleep with their feet hanging off of the bed???

– Ring! Ring!! Ring!!!
– Hello! Who is that?
– Papa! It is me! Your son!
– I say who is that?
– It is me! Your son! Calling from America!
– Ah! Is that my son? Wonderful! Thank God! You will live long, my son! I was flashing you and you were not picking up your mobile! Did you not see me flashing you? You are a good son! Hunger was flashing me to death and I knew you would call me to give me the Western Union pin number! Wait, let me get a biro and paper! Hold on O, abeg don't go anywhere! [Papalolo calls his grandson Johnbull for help!] Johnbull! Johnbull! Johnbull! Where is that boy? Johnbull! Have my enemies blocked your stupid ears with cotton wool? Bring me a biro and tear me a piece of paper from the foolscap sheets in the cupboard! Hurry up; if this line goes dead, you are dead!!!
– Papa, I am sorry, I don't have a pin number for you today. I was just calling to check on you and mama?
– Enh?
– I said I was just checking on you and mama!
– Hmmm. We are well; it is only hunger that is up to her usual tricks. Do you know the price of garri has hit the roof again? Talking about the roof, do you know that my roof is leaking buckets everywhere? Whenever it rains, the villagers troop into my house and gather water with their buckets!
– Papa, I shall see what I can do.
– It is well. You shall see what you can do! You told me that the last time you called. I know you are trying your best, you are not a thief like some people's children that I know. I did not raise thieves for children. But my son, are you not in the same America as your cousin Monday? Did Monday not build a mansion for his father within two years of coming to America? My son, when are you coming home to build a house worthy of your name in our village?
– Papa, I shall see what I can do.
– [Papalolo sighs] It is well. Whenever I ask you to come build a house at home, you say "I shall see what I can do." Let it not be said that my son's name is now "I shall see." Ah Monday! He is a good son! I remember when we went to open his father's house; we ate so much, your mother and I could not stand up for weeks. They sprayed us so much money, we hired apeteshie the drunk to escort us home.
– Papa, that reminds me, Monday is in jail
– Why? In jail? For what? What did that good boy do?
– Medicare fraud…
– Mediwetin… what is that? Never mind! Monday is a good child. I am sure the evil witches on his mother's side set him up. Monday is a good child. I remember when he came to visit me when I came to see all of you in America. He gave me an envelope filled with so many dollars, I couldn't count them all. That is how to be a good son.
– Do you miss America?
– Oh yes my son. I miss America and my grandchildren. That is a place of wonder. My son, when am I coming back to see my grandchildren? I tell you the white man is no longer a human being. The white man is next to God! America reminded me of Lagos before our yeye Independence! The things that my eyes saw in America, I was afraid to say with my own mouth in the village. When I came back home, my people, they asked me, how was America and I said America is fine, my son and my daughter in-law are doing fine and my grand children eat well, everything is as it should be. I did not dare tell them of the magic that my eyes saw. Do you blame me? If I tell my people that there are water taps and you put your hand under them, and real water starts coming out like River Niger, they will say, "Ah, Papalolo, you have come again with your stories! Are you the first person to go to America?" Do you remember how I screamed in the toilet in the shopping mall when after relieving myself, I got up and the toilet flushed itself? Just like that! How did the toilet know that I was finished? Unbelievable! I screamed because I thought my enemies had finally found me in the white man's latrine! Everybody came running including the police and you were embarrassed.
– Yes, papa, I was embarrassed, I won't lie.
– Yes, you are easily embarrassed. Remember those doors in America that always opened for me? Wonderful! The white man is something! You will be coming like this and the door will just open for you, just like that! You don't even have to touch it! I know there are evil spirits inside America's doors. I would walk to the door and it would open, fiam, by itself! I would run to the door and it would open fiam! Just like that! I like America, the doors always open for you over there unlike over here in Nigeria. In Nigeria, if you don't know somebody who knows somebody, the doors just laugh at you! The white man is a god!
– Don't talk like that! The white man is a human being just like you! And some of these inventions were made by black people.
– Na you sabi, be fooling yourself there that you are equal to the white man simply because you wear a coat an' tie like him. You will never be equal to him. Look I am talking to you now on a cell phone without wires! I have a cell phone, your mother has her own cell phone, which is a problem because I KNOW that you call her secretly and send her money secretly through Western Union. That is forbidden you know, the gods of our forefathers will place a curse on you if you don't stop secretly funding your mother's insubordination! Anyway, do you remember NITEL? Those olodos, those dunces held us hostage with their stupid telephone system that spoke to no one, heard no one. And they made us pay for no services! And then the white man came along and look we are happy again! My son, when will they come back to rule us? I miss them so much, they are the best, Independence was a big mistake! Look at that thing called the Internet. Thanks to the wonders of guguru, Johnbull was able to find out your salary in America!
– Guguru?
– Yes, guguru, Johnbull says because you are always complaining about being broke, he used guguru on you and there was your salary for everybody to see! America! Why will they put your salary on the Internet? Don't you people have secrets? Unbelievable!
– Oh! Google! It is not guguru, papa. It is Google!
– Same difference! All I know is that Johnbull went to the cyber café and used what do you call it again, google? He did the thing where he can see your street and your house. He says your house is so big the picture does not fit on the computer screen. And he saw four cars in front of your house!
– Google Earth! I had visitors that day! I don't have four cars!
– Be denying it. My son, I did not raise you to ignore us in the dusk of our lives. Build us a house and send me one of your six cars! I know you can do it. What do you need six cars for anyway? That is madness! Our people say you do not pour a bucket of salt in your bowl of egusi soup simply because you are rich!
– Six cars!
– Yes, Johnbull says that you have a two-car garage and so plus the four cars in the front of the house, that is six cars! Anyway, I tell you, we are cursed! In my next life if I come back as a black man ehn, I will crawl back into my mother's stomach and say "oya, return to sender!" Enh, who knows, it would just be my luck that I will return as a white man, and then black people will be in charge! I have bad luck, I am telling you!
– Papa, don't say that again! That is racist!
– What is racist about that? Na you sabi! It is the truth? With all your book knowledge what have you done with it? Hell, you can't even send me a measly $50. Every time I ask for money, you sing "I shall see what I can do! The white man is strange though…
– Strange? What do you mean?
– Remember when I was over there, on television, these two men were kissing each other, even the women come on television and they said that they are in love with each other. I was watching that soap opera and these two men Jeff and Dave they said they wanted to get married! Abomination! Do you remember your beautiful friend Joy? Oh yes, she was very pretty! You told me she used to be John! Wonderful! Only the white man is crazy enough to look down below and say, "I don't like what I see!" and cut it off! I say they are not human beings! Why do you have such friends anyway?
– Papa, stop it…!
– [Audible sigh from Papalolo] Let's not talk about sad things anymore, it is depressing enough that you have nothing for me and your mother today.
– Papa, do you have a pen and paper?
– For what?
– I was just teasing you! I actually called to tell you that I sent you some money through Western Union. Don't forget the answer to the test question – What is your son's name?
– [Papalolo breaks into lusty song]
Ah! What is my son's name?
How can I forget my great son's name?
Does the tortoise go toAmericawithout his home?
Did I not say you are the son of your father, enh?
He-who-shall-never-be-vanquished-is-my son's-name!
He-who-is-a-double-white-man is my son's name!
Conqueror-of-the-white-man's-magic is my son's name!
He-who-may-be-gentle-but-is-no-fool is my son's name!
He-who-says-his-father-shall-never-know-hunger is my son's name!
He-who-says-his-mother-shall-never-know-shame is my son's name…
– Wait, wait my son, did you send the money in dollars? I hope you sent the money in dollars! The Naira is useless O, the Naira is the cousin to Mugabe's money…. If you take okada to the market for N100, on the way back the fare will be N200! On the same day! [Papalolo calls his grandson Johnbull for help!] Johnbull! Johnbull! Johnbull! Where is that boy? Johnbull! Have my enemies blocked your stupid ears with cotton wool? Bring me a biro and tear me a piece of paper from the foolscap sheets in the cupboard! Hurry up; if this line goes dead, you are dead, In Jesus Name!

Paying it forward: Loyola comes together for typhoon relief effort
November 15, 2013
The Loyola University New Orleans Honors Program raised more than $1,250 in its Typhoon Haiyan relief fundraiser Thursday, Nov. 14. The funds raised will go to the Red Cross and the Philippine Jesuit Foundation, the official U.S. fundraising organization for Jesuits and Jesuit works in the Philippines. Both organizations are aiding those affected by the disaster through official typhoon relief funds.
The event featured a thrift sale, a bake sale and an origami peace crane folding activity by honors freshman My-Hanh Truong, who helped interested students, faculty and staff fold origami paper cranes as a reminder of the tragedy.
Students in Loyola professor Sylvester Tan, S.J.,'s first-year seminar class played a starring role in the "Soap Box Orations," during the event. They put the persuasive skills they learned to good use through stump speeches designed to raise awareness and encourage generosity.
Loyola's Office of Mission and Ministry is also taking collections for typhoon relief during campus masses.

Blackwater – responsible killers!
There is some sort of bizarre debate happening in the mainstream media. Blackwater is a security company that has contracts to guard United States government employees in Iraq. The debate is around the notion that shooting people is sometimes less responsible than at other times.
Civilization has often debated the nuances of 'justifiable homicide.' I remember back in the late 1970's a local policeman was called to the scene of a a business where there was a report of the burglar alarm going off. By chance, the burglars entered a building during the shift change at the police department. The officer who responded was the only officer on the street at the time – sounds incredulous – but that does happen.
The officer arrived on the scene and walked around the building. As he approached the rear of the building three suspects exited the business. The officer pulled his gun and yell for them to stop. Two of them ran. One stopped and turned to face the officer. The officer thought he saw a 'shiny object' in the had of the burglar. He shot the burglar, who died at the scene. The investigation did not find any criminal weapon. There was a pipe laying about twenty feet from the dead burglar. The burglar could have been holding the pipe and it could have rolled away when he fell.
This is a BIG DEAL! We, citizens of this country, take these events very seriously. There was a Coroner's Inquest. A Jury was impaneled. Witnesses were called. Evidence was presented. This was all done in public – in this case the public interest was so intense they held the hearings in the City Council Chamber where there was more room than in the regular Circuit Court room. I attended the hearings.
After intense scrutiny the case was determined to be 'justifiable homicide.' Some people thought the officer might have panicked, might have acted too quickly – but nobody denied him the right to self protection. That burglar was in the wrong place at the wrong time – and he chose to be there. I was one of many who supported the conclusion.
People killing people is VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS! It should be taken seriously. The Iraqi context has distorted our sense of reason, our understanding of death itself.
There is something very wrong with the blackwateresque security concept – when used in the context of the U. S. State Department. The media commonly refers to the 160,000 U. S. Military force in Iraq. There is little mention that there are like 48,000 private security personnel employed to guard American Government employees working in Iraq. (The State Department has paid Blackwater over ONE BILLION dollars) The rules of engagement are different for these private security mercenaries.
This is very disturbing to me! These people represent me, and you, on the world stage! What sort of image are we projecting? Why do people in other countries want to blow up our buildings? What is going on?
I know this: Killing people, humans, homo sapiens – even what we call 'bad guys' – should be taken very seriously. We can talk about 'private security forces,' but there should be nothing 'private' about killing other people. This action deserves public debate!
Have we lost the sense of the seriousness of what is happening in Iraq?

Nippon 2007 is delighted to announce the nominees for the 2007 Hugo Awards (for work done in 2006). The Hugo Awards are science fiction's highest honor for professional and fan work.
The winners will be announced at the Hugo Awards Ceremonies during the 65th World Science Fiction Convention in Yokohama, Japan, on Saturday, September 1st. The ceremony will begin at 6:00 p.m. JPT.

THE WORLD'S biggest annual fireworks concert will be exploding over their heads tomorrow night and what will my kids be doing?
Wearing ear cans and sniggering over yet another puerile American comedy, or chillin' to their beats. Oblivious. Why can't we be one of those families lying on a tartan rug in our matching Barbour jackets, oohing and aahing to each rainbow-infused explosion, little heads bobbing along in recognition of familiar classics blasted out by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra?
"Fireworks?" says Youngest Child when I suggest it. "Saw them last year on the telly. And at Hogmanay. And Bonfire Night. And every week at the docks. I'm over fireworks."
Spoilt rotten. It's the same with the Festival. Last Sunday when the city was hoaching with culture, she was having none of it.
"I'll take you to a show," I trilled. "Dance, comedy, music, theatre, you choose my sweet."
"Nah. Can't be bothered."
"The haka show?"
"The book festival." I grabbed the book she's reading. "Look, this author's there! You could go and ask a question. See them in the flesh."
"Nah. Reading the book's enough, thanks."
"You are living in the city with the biggest arts festival in the world," I said. "Don't you want to go and see something? Anything."
"I'd really like to go for a walk along the beach."
So, Portobello, chips and waves over the wellies it was. See culture? I wish I could.

Moncton's first games in the FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup kick off Wednesday night, including a match between Nigeria and Mexico, and the local Nigerian community is using the international soccer competition to raise awareness about kidnapped girls in their home country.
"We feel that since the world is now watching and now that we can have their attention, we can use this opportunity to bring back a sense of understanding that kidnapping women is violence against women and it shouldn't be done," said Nigerian community organizer Cliff Nzombato.
"We should stand against it," he said.
More than 200 Nigerian girls were kidnapped by militant group Boko Haram from a school in the northeastern village of Chibok on April 15. Most of the girls are still missing.
"We want the World Cup to come together and understand that these [soccer players] could have been part of those women that were kidnapped," said Nzombato.
"For us to just sit down and say, 'This is happening and nobody's doing anything,' and it's over 100 days right now, it's wrong."
To help spread the message, Nzombato was offering 15 free tickets to the Nigerian game at the University of Moncton stadium to anyone who posted the message "Bring Back Our Girls" on any public Facebook page in the Moncton community.
Omi Olanreimaju Wemimo, assistant coach to the Nigerian women's under-20 team, says she appreciates the gesture.
"The reaction about the kidnapping, well, people are not happy about it. It wasn't a good thing," she said. "The Nigerian people are trying to make it possible for the girls to come back safely."
The girls' abduction drew unprecedented international attention to the war in Nigeria's northeast and the growing security risk that Boko Haram poses to Nigeria, Africa's leading energy producer.
A #BringBackOurGirls Twitter campaign supported by Michelle Obama and Angelina Jolie heaped pressure on authorities to act, and President Goodluck Jonathan pledged to save the girls, drawing promises of Western help to do so.
Nzombato would like the Canadian government to add pressure to help find the kidnapped girls.
Meanwhile, he has also been organizing some welcoming activities for the Nigerian players.
"As long as they're here, we would connect them to all of the resources they need. We're going to take them to the zoo. You know what? We're going to take them to Magic Mountain. They're excited to hear about Magic Mountain. The mountain that is so magical that it's the only place in the world where cars go up instead of down," he said.
On Sunday, the team enjoyed a meal of home-made Nigerian food.
Forward Patience Okaeme says it was a meal to remember.
"It's very very interesting and somehow it makes us feel at home," she said. "They are warm and nice."
Boko Haram, a Taliban-inspired movement, say they are fighting to establish an Islamic state in religiously mixed Nigeria. The group, whose name means Western education is sinful, has killed thousands and abducted hundreds since launching an uprising in 2009.
The FIFA U–20 Women's World Cup began Tuesday in Toronto and Edmonton.
Moncton is hosting a doubleheader on Wednesday between England and South Korea at 5 p.m. AT, followed by the Nigeria-Mexico match at 8 p.m. AT.
About 150 tickets purchased by a local donor for Wednesday night are being distributed to Nigerians living in Moncton.
The tournament runs until Aug. 24.

There are four series left in the march to the Stanley Cup. It is safe to say that the spotlight will be on the Penguins vs. the Capitals. The other three match-ups are all interesting and should be exciting to watch. But the prospect of putting Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin and Semin on the same sheet of ice conjures up visions of some very entertaining hockey. This leads us to ask these questions — How will the superstars perform in this series? Will the play of the superstars determine the outcome of the series?
Semin is a tremendous hockey player. He was off to a great start. An injury set him back, but he recovered and finished the season strong. We can expect him to play well, but I don't think his play alone can determine the outcome of the series. Ovechkin — two years running MVP (?). We can expect him to have a great series, but his impact will not be enough to swing the series in the Capitals' favor. Ovechkin is a great individual talent. He does not necessarily make the players around him better. He might have an outstanding series, but not enough to put the Capitals in the Eastern finals. Malkin is really looking forward to this match-up. He hears the rumors that Ovechkin is going to be the MVP. Although he can't do anything about that voting now, he is going to be excited to show the NHL his value to the Penguins. He can do it alone. He makes his teammates better. His talent can lead his team to victory. Crosby is still the best player in the world. He always seems to be at his best on the big stage. He also wants to show the world his value to the Penguins. He absolutely makes everyone around him better. Crosby and Malkin will get the power play going in this series, and that will be a factor in moving on to the Conference finals.
That's the view from E-11.

Missing Mo. girl found safe
IRON COUNTY, Mo. - A 6-year-old southeast Missouri girl who went missing while deer hunting with her father has been found safe eight hours later.
KMOV reports Mackenzie Hurt disappeared around 6 a.m. Saturday while hunting with her father in a wooded area, and she was found nearly 8 hours later at 2:15 p.m. walking along a road.
Police say 75 people, tracking dogs and emergency helicopters assisted with the search after the girl's father called for help.
The girl's orange vest and had were found during the search, and dogs were able to pick up her scent.

Brett Gardner suffered what was said to be a bruised elbow two months ago, two unsuccessful rehab stints later and he's on his way to see Dr. James Andrews, the famous Tommy John Surgery doctor. Depending on the news it could be another month until Brett Gardner comes back or the rest of the year.
Regardless, Brian Cashman told reporters over the weekend that he isn't looking to trade for a replacement.
"I haven't been looking," Cashman told Chad Jennings of the Journal News. "That doesn't mean that (it's out of the question). Now you've passed the draft, people will be more interested in having conversations. I have not had any conversations with anybody about anything."
"I'm not sure just yet," Cashman told Evan Drellich of MLB.com. "The preference would be not to do anything, because I'd rather not touch the farm system or add to the payroll. You'd like to have everything here in front of you, but that's never the case. So right now it's way too early to tell you what's lacking."
At least not yet. Gardner was a big piece for the Yankees, not only offensively, but what he brought as far as defense and speed goes. Replacing Gardner has not gone exactly well for the Yankees, who are still using Jayson Nix on a somewhat regular basis, have been forced to use Curtis Granderson in all but two innings this season, and the running game has almost completely been tied up. Don't forget about Raul Ibanez's terrible defense in left.
So while Cashman insists that he isn't looking for an outfielder now things could change a lot by the All-Star break. If Gardner is not back by then or at least reasonably close, it will be hard for the Yankees not to address the situation by the deadline.
In the meantime, the Yankees should seriously consider calling up Chris Dickerson. Dickerson hasn't been on the team so far only due to an injury, but he's healthy now and would be a decent upgrade over Dewayne Wise, who offers little more than somebody who can play in the outfield. Dickerson might be a decent option between now and the time when the Yankees explore a deal for somebody like David DeJesus or Josh Willingham.
