Many believe that for the short term, Mr. Diller will concentrate on improving the image of electronic retailing channel QVC and overseeing the May launch of sister service Q2. He may also re-open merger talks with rival Home Shopping Network.
Longer term, Mr. Diller is expected to set his sights on buying another major software company, with possible targets ranging from CBS to Time Warner (he could link up with Seagram Co., a major Time Warner shareholder).
"Clearly, the first thing for Barry is to focus on streamlining and repositioning QVC," said Chris Dixon, media analyst at PaineWebber. "He's also going to continue to look at how he can participate in the rapidly changing media and communications landscape of tomorrow."
On the day after Viacom's victory, Mr. Diller sent a signal that he is focusing his energies on QVC, at least for now.
He unveiled a restructuring that includes the retirement of QVC President Michael Boyd, a company co-founder. Mr. Boyd's position won't be filled, but Exec VP Douglas Briggs was named president of QVC Electronic Retailing, a new unit that will serve as the company's principal operating arm.
Mr. Diller said in a statement that QVC will evolve from "a one-line venture to a multiline business that will fill the multimedia spectrum with services."
QVC-which shortened its name from QVC Network as part of the restructuring-is establishing a new unit, QDirect, to produce direct response TV ads and infomercials and explore joint ventures with other cable and broadcast networks. Another new unit, QVC Interactive, will develop on-line shopping services, with the first expected to be introduced in early 1995.

|Editor's note: The Sichuan-Tibet Plateau, a beautiful region that reaches toward the heavens, is a place showered with blue skies, covered in white clouds, and dotted with snow-covered mountains, but recently, something truly remarkable has been materializing among the households that call this place home. A groundbreaking historic change has been reshaping the land and its people. From today on, we will publish a series of stories to tell you those changes.
Nov.10,2017-- Just as rivers and valleys can quickly turn into grassland when travelling, the village's nomadic life has shifted to something completely foreign and new. Tents and mud houses have turned into bright and spacious brick structures, and all of this has happened in the blink of an eye. The red rooves and white walls are a pleasant accompaniment to the neat and clean asphalt roads, and today, perhaps one of the most difficult challenges for locals is trying to figure out how to furnish and redecorate everything. Laughter pours out from inside each structure. The five-year plan has helped the people tremendously, but it still requires the participation of major marketing entities and resources to be used as assets in order to be considered a true and final success.
Today, Tashi, a herder, has already taken his yaks out to graze and is now returning to his new home to drink some butter tea.
Muya Zeduo has leased 49 unoccupied houses to herders through a package program. Each house is equipped with advanced electric appliances and bathroom facilities, and when talking with him about what he thinks, Tashi does not hesitate to say, "Our lives today are nothing like they used to be. I first leased my own house to the company, and since they redecorated everything, I am now earning money just to stay at home!" The company is supported by the government in its efforts to promote the Muya culture centered at Eda Menpa, and so it renovated the previously substandard houses into inns for tourists. Parking lots and vehicle service areas are now offered to people driving along the nearby highway, and shops selling Tibetan specialties are scattered here and there along the road. Everything is done through the village collective.
The tourist attraction uses a tri-part cooperative model as its basis, with the three points being the government, company, and village. Tourism allows the locals to target poverty head on, and projects centered on poverty relief bring the advantages of local culture and nearby resources together as part of one formulated plan. The venue itself includes the Muya town, a tourist service center, family-based inns, roads, and observation decks. To maximize profits for villagers, local labor is used throughout the entire construction process. In 2015 alone, there was a total of 360 thousand yuan earned by casual laborers, with the village transportation team earning a total of 750 thousand.
To balance local resource development and the pragmatic profits of local villagers, Muya Zeduo puts forward 400 thousand yuan each year to purchase medical insurance for herders living in Eda Menpa, and also provides pensions for elderly villagers so that these villagers do not have to worry about their futures and can focus more on doing what they can to improve the local attraction. There is also heavy emphasis put on training local talents, particularly from the younger generations, to prepare them to undertake administrative and managerial positions within nearby businesses and also provide them with the knowledge and skills needed to function better within the tourism industry. In October 2015, the United Front Work Department of Sichuan Province coordinated with the Chinese Vocational Education Society (Sichuan branch) to hold a one-month tourism training program, which included training in speaking Mandarin Chinese and professional advice regarding tourism, all ending with a two-year follow-up program. These initiatives aimed to equip poverty-stricken villagers with the tools necessary to generate wealth while also enjoying bonuses from shared resources. To date, 48 herders have already been employed, and the idea that one person can be employed and bring his or her family out of poverty has become an attainable reality.

BOONSBORO -- When David Spurrier was in high school, he didn't meet his guidance counselor until May of his senior year when he was asked if he had career or college plans.
Spurrier did. He wanted to play professional football, but the guidance counselor never learned that because he didn't ask for specifics.
Asked what he would say if a student walked into his office in Boonsboro High School's guidance center and told him he wanted to be a pro football player, Spurrier said:
"I'd say shoot for your dream. What's your second plan? What's your third plan?"
Spurrier, 59, said he realized after his first football practice at Frostburg State University that he was going to have to go to his career plan B -- teaching.

Pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS), although rare, must be considered in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). This tumor is highly malignant and the prognosis is very poor. As much as the standardized uptake values (SUVs) at fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) have helped in differentiating between benign and malignant tumors, visualization of a low-attenuation filling defect within a pulmonary artery on contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) can be suggestive of a malignancy, such as PAS, if the lesion shows high FDG uptake at PET. We present a case of PAS that showed high FDG uptake on integrated FDG PET/CT and with lung metastasis. Patient underwent endoscopic bronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), which confirmed spindle cell sarcoma.

Jobs-boosting plans for a multi-million-pound development at Durham Tees Valley Airport have taken a vital step forward.
Planning chiefs at two councils have now given their backing for the first stage of the £10m plan. It means that work can start on site next April and be completed within a year.
A key element in delivering the Master Plan is opening up the potential of the Southside, including the development of aviation-related activities adjacent to the runway.Steve Gill, Durham Tees Valley Airport managing director
Planning approval has been described as 'a very significant step forward in delivering the objective of maximising the potential of the airport'.
Durham Tees Valley Airport managing director Steve Gill was speaking after Darlington Council's Planning Committee had joined with Stockton Council in approving plans for the construction of a new 1.8-kilometre link road between the north and south sides of the airport, running around the eastern end of the runway, together with a large building forming the first phase of the Southside Business Park.
The airport's parent company, the Peel Group is providing £5m, with another £5m earmarked through the Government's Local Growth Fund, overseen by Tees Valley Unlimited.
The Southside Business Park has the potential to create 3,000 jobs and contribute £11m a year to the local economy.
Mr Gill said the airport's master plan made it clear that at the heart of the airport's development was the "full use of all development opportunities across the site, coupled with establishing a major hub for business and general aviation".
He said a key element of that was developing the south side of the airport, and the planning approval for the new link road was "a very significant and welcome step forward".
Work is continuing on other aspects of implementing the master plan, including mixed-use developments on the north side of the airport.
The 1.9m sq ft Southside Business Park will become known as Aero Centre Tees Valley.
It will offer chances of investment for industrial, warehousing and logistics businesses and that could potentially bring in much-needed jobs.

Sometimes you've followed all of the guidelines and implemented all of the recommended strategies, and the prospective resident or family member still throws up obstacles and roadblocks. What do you do next?
If you've done it right and they're still not ready
- Determine the actual cause/address the real problem
- Timing
- Availability of product
- Price
- Unanswered questions
- They don't trust what you have told them
- No one to help them

- Increase awareness of their pain
- Shock them
- Ask them better questions
Persuasion Techniques*
The following themes are adapted from three books: Spin Selling; Stop Telling, Start Selling; and Life Matters: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters, as well as the works of Tony Robbins.
Persuasion means it's time to deal with all the things that aren't socially polite. If you want to know someone's viewpoint and values, ask. You need to give the prospect a solid emotional reason to do business with you and address his fear of making a bad decision.
Explore clarity of viewpoint – This is when a prospect responds to your question or statement ambiguously, i.e., if you ask when the prospect is thinking of making a move, and he responds, "at some point in the future when things aren't as easy for me." Other ambiguous statements include, "It's tough to get old," and "Life isn't as easy as it was years ago."
Emotion is important to understand – When an issue is emotionally charged, precise, logical questions do not sway a viewpoint. When a person announces his point of view, he will strongly tend to defend that belief regardless of its accuracy, often despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Have clarity of Values – Understand that there are two different types of values: Means values are about things:houses, cars, investments, computers, traveling, marriage, children, sex, sports, boats, fishing, etc. Ends values are the feelings associated with the means such as love, fun excitement, ecstasy, happiness, security, freedom, action, adventure, peace of mind, success, health, power, etc. What means and ends does your prospect value?
- People move toward pleasure and away from pain. We are afraid to grow old, die and be in pain.
- Attraction – safety, security, comfort
- Avoidance – losing money, rejection, failure, losing independence, criticism, the unknown, looking foolish, humiliation, anxiety, feeling confined, death
When I meet a community sales team for the first time I ask them what they think the difference is between any other salesperson and a retirement community sales counselor. What's the answer? The retirement community counselor must work with prospects, live with prospects and see prospects every day once they move in; the same can't be said of the person who sells you your car. That's credibility!

If I am going to get a Birkin 35, should my next bag be a Kelly 25 or 35?
hrm, what do you want to use the kelly for? if you only want to use it during the night time, 25 would be ok. but if you want to use it during the day time as well, i would suggest the 28 or 32.
I would go for 28 or 32 as well.
Same here - 28 or 32...!
I think either 28 or 32. The 25 seems too small unless you are getting it for an evening bag.
I would say 35.
Yep another 32 or 28 too here. The 28 is already pretty small IMO, I can imagine a 25 would be too tiny coz the shape of the kelly is slim..
Depends on how tall you are...My kelly 32cm togo is very durable bag and it is stunning. But 32 cm is kind of heavy some reason. Maybe it's just me. I feel like 32 cm is heavier than 35 cm Birkin. I don't know why...
35cm. I prefer a spacious purse. I am pretty sure this is a 35cm, judging from the depth of the bag. I rarely attend formal events, so a 35cm Kelly would be more of a fun shopping purse, more girly look than a birkin of same size, holding roughly same amount of stuff.
I like 28 or 32 the best. The 25, I really only prefer in the rigide style as an evening bag.
I have had two 32cm..both rigide...one gold corcheval and the other black box. I sold both and bought a red 35cm rouge vif rigide box with gold HW. I do love the 35cm. Somehow it is lighter than the 32 maybe because it has more room inside? I love the statement the 35 makes too and I am 5 feet 3 inches tall.
do you have pictures?
Hi theItbag!! Pics of the 35 Rouge Vif? The gold Kelly I might be able to get pics too because my sister-in-law now owns it. I'll try...I'm old fashioned because I have to take pics then develop them on a disc and it might take several days. I'll try.
Hi theItbag - how tall are you...just curious on size although that doesn't really mean anything on what size Kelly to purchase.
5'2. is the 35 kelly larger than the 35 birkin?

The Exploding Hammer Festival, or "Fiesta del Martillos Explosivos" in Spanish, is an annual festival in San Juan de la Vega, Guanajuato, Mexico. Every February 28th, hundreds of people visit this small little town in central Mexico to see locals strap homemade explosives to sledgehammers, and then slam then into the ground.
The explosions are huge, and injuries are very common. It's a strange festival, and one of the most dangerous in the entire world.
This particular day is to celebrate San Juan Bautista (John the Baptist) which the town was named after. No one can remember exactly how this wild tradition started, but the locals do remember that the exploding hammers used to be part of a parade. Those who participated would follow the parade in the honour of the saint, blasting the hammers to celebrate. After a lot of damage to windows, people, and cars… they moved the hammers out into a field. Here, hundreds of men can detonate their explosives slightly more safely. Their choice of location still left me confused however, as it was a field of loose rock. Projectiles were flying everywhere.
For adventure travel vloggers like myself, it's the perfect place to be able to film all the action. There were very few rules about anything. I was so happy that I brought my GoPro to this event. (I had almost left it behind in fear that the blasts would destroy it.) We captured some great POV video of the locals and their explosions
Something we learned today: A GoPro can survive an exploding hammer.
We spent a lot of our time in the beautiful city of Celaya, which is nearby the festival. Highly recommend you check it out. The tourism board there went to great lengths to help us get the best video possible of the event! They rock. Thanks guys!
Hope you enjoy this video. I stayed up all night to edit it. I love getting these crazy festival videos up ASAP after they happen. I still have adrenaline in my system! Enjoy the Boom!

Saucony Omni 15 provides a very stable and supportive ride with a good amount of cushioning. ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 provides comfort and a touch of stability.
NEW! Saucony Omni 16 vs. ASICS GEL-Kayano 24 and Saucony Omni ISO vs. ASICS GEL-Kayano 25
The Saucony Omni 15 and the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 are both running shoes that provide stability and support to overpronators, but the Saucony Omni 15 is considered to be at a higher level in the stability category than the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23.
Support starts in the upper, and the Saucony Omni 15 provides lots of it through the use of stitched-on overlays that wrap both the midfoot and the heel.
The ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 , on the other hand, implements no-sew overlays around the midfoot in the form of the ASICS logo and uses mesh that has a structure that gives a bit of an extra hold.
While the forefoot of the Saucony Omni 15 is quite open and has no-sew overlays running over it, the forefoot of the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 might feel a bit more open, free, and comfortable than that of the Saucony Omni 15 due to the structured mesh and no overlays.
At the back, the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 increases the amount of support through the use of an external heel counter.
The Saucony Omni 15 also provides extra support at the back through the use of a low Support Frame that has pieces on the lateral and medial sides.
All in all, the Saucony Omni 15 provides a more secure fit, but the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 provides a perhaps somewhat looser and more comfortable fit.
The ASICS GEL-Kayano is known to provide a luxurious feel, while the Saucony Omni 15 is more concerned with stability and support.
However, this does not mean that the Saucony Omni 15 does not provide a soft ride, because running shoes lab tests show that it does.
Except for in the heel of women, the Saucony Omni 15 provides overall more cushioning than the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23.
For women, the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 provides more cushioning in the heel probably due to the fact that it comes with an extra 3 mm of height in the heel that not only increases the amount of cushioning there but also helps reduce stress on the Achilles tendon.
However, the Saucony Omni 15 has a super cushy forefoot for both men and women, while the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 provides an above average amount but less than the Saucony Omni 15.
Men will get more heel cushioning from the Saucony Omni 15 than from the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23.
While both the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 and the Saucony Omni 15 provide support on the medial side of their midsoles to accommodate overpronators, the amount of support offered by the Saucony Omni 15 is much more than that offered by the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23.
In fact, running shoe lab tests rate the Saucony Omni 15 as providing almost a maximum amount of stability, while the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 provides an amount that lies just above average.
The latter is good for neutral runners who, according to ASICS, are also included in the target audience of the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23. Neutral runners do not need much stability and support, if any at all.
The outsoles of the two running shoes look quite different mainly due to the fact that the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 comes with a midfoot shank and the Saucony Omni 15 does not.
This allows the Saucony Omni 15 to provide more ground contact than the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23, which increases the potential of the Saucony Omni 15 to provide you with smoother heel-to-toe transitions and a little bit more stability.
The rubber compartments are also quite different between the two running shoes, with the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 having large rubber compartments with a good amount of flex grooves, and the Saucony Omni 15 having a zigzag pattern in its forefoot and overall smaller rubber compartments.
Running shoe lab tests show that the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 is much more flexible than the Saucony Omni 15, which turns out to be a bit on the stiff side for both men and women.
The women's version of the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 weighs approximately 9.4 oz (266 grams), while the Saucony Omni 15 for women weighs approximately 9.0 oz (255 grams).
The men's version of the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 weighs about 11.5 oz (326 grams), and the Saucony Omni 15 for men weighs about 10.6 oz (301 grams).
If you are looking for a soft ride from a running shoe, you could go with either the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23 or the Saucony Omni 15.
However, your final choice should depend on the amount of stability and support you need. If you need a lot, the Saucony Omni 15 would be more suitable than the ASICS GEL-Kayano 23, which only provides a moderate amount.
Note: The weight of a running shoe depends on the size of the running shoe, so any weights mentioned in this review may differ from the weight of the running shoe you choose to wear. Running shoes of the same size were compared for this review.

The US game in Latin America
By Mark Weisbrot
When I write about US foreign policy in places such as Haiti or Honduras, I often get responses from people who find it difficult to believe that the US government would care enough about these countries to try and control or topple their governments. These are small, poor countries with little in the way of resources or markets. Why should Washington policymakers care who runs them?
Unfortunately they do care. A lot. They care enough about Haiti to have overthrown the elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide not once, but twice. The first time, in 1991, it was done covertly. We only found out after the fact that the people who led the coup were paid by the US Central Intelligence Agency. And then Emmanuel Constant, the leader of the most notorious death squad there – which killed thousands of Aristide's supporters after the coup – told CBS News that he, too, was funded by the CIA.

June 9, 02011 is International Archives Day around the world. This global event was created by the International Council on Archives in 2007 and the date marks the day in 1948 that the ICA was established under UNESCO.
Today archivists are using Twitter to engage their clients through #AskArchivists where you can ask them a question and hopefully get tweeted back with an answer. In the good old days we used a telephone.

The Fellowship of the Wagon
Town Drunk / Northman / PFS Agent
Almost seven feet tall, Yngvarr is a giant of a man. He is a Northman from the Thanelands of the Linnorn Kings. He came to Taldor when he turned sixteen to prove himself as a member of the Ulfen Guard. He made Captain of the guard at the age of 23, the youngest to ever do so and also served for 17 years, the longest term anyone has served. He is a personal body guard and agent for Anifiel Delaunay, and highly decorated citizen of Taldor. It is said that once a Jarl from the Thanelands having heard of Yngvarr's prowess in battle came to Taldor to challenge him to the Holmgang, a combat to settle disputes among the Northman. It is said that Yngvarr tore the throat of the Jarl with his own teeth and sent his genitals to the Jarls wife with an offer to keep her bed warm if he ever returned to his homeland. That was the first and last time a Jarl demanded the Holmgang from Yngvarr.
The only person so far in town you met that you didn't like was a drunk. You never learned his name, but you had to quick step away from his overly friendly hands and his breath smelled of drink. He is a Northman, you are able to tell that much and he is tall, almost seven feet. He has bright blond hair, or would if he was not so filthy, and he wears it in a braid in the northern style. His accent is harsh and it sounds like he uses too many syllables when he talks. He does not push things to the point where you think you will have to cross him, however his playful teasing and lecherous looks make you uneasy. You notice others in town give him a wide berth, even the guard who seem to want nothing to do with him.
He was hired by Duru and Erieonn to keep an ear out for who is behind the recent troubles.
Recently discovered to be a secret agent of the Pathfinder Society working with Anifiel Dailani, also a member of the Pathfinder Society.

Sean Kelly: 'Millennials in the Workplace'
The Millennials are coming.
Sure, you've probably heard it before (you might even be one). You might be a little sick of hearing about it, and we know it's easy to assume that all the hype around the impending Millennial invasion is… a bit overblown.
But the numbers tell a different story – the modern workplace is being reshaped by an influx of Millennial talent.
In just the last five years, 87% of Millennials took on management roles and by 2020, Millennials will make up approximately half of the global workforce. by 2025, that number will be closer to 75%.
It's a demographic shift that organizations can no longer afford to ignore, but the perception of Millennials is still fraught with stereotypes and misconceptions. Millennials continue to cause confusion and frustration for CEOs, HR leaders and middle managers alike.
This engaging talk looks at millennials through a scientific lens, helping to identify the group' defining characteristics and digging deep into the sociological and biological mechanics that have shaped this much maligned and oft-misunderstood generation.
Sean helps demystify the Millennial generation and offers strategies for younger and older workers to communicate effectively so multigenerational organizations thrive.
What makes Sean an expert?
Besides the fact that he leads a mostly millennial staff of more than 100, he speaks around the world to HR pros and other business leaders about culture and engagement in the Millennial age. He also hosts The Awesome Office Show, an award-winning podcast that examines leadership and business through the lens of culture and engagement. Oh, and born in 1983, Sean is a Millennial leader himself.
Sean will also be speaking at NNHRA (Northern Nevada Human Resources Association) 'Creating a Best Place to Work' event on Thursday, February 23. Check out this event (with CEU credits for HR professionals) here!

Don't you think Kailyn Lowry is looking better than ever these days? She's in amazing shape after having baby Lincoln, mainly because she's been very diligent about working out and eating right and maintaining a super healthy lifestyle.
And even though recently Kail complained that she'd slacked off in the gym and needed to get back into a good routine, it's not like any of us noticed that she wasn't quite as fit as she "used" to be.
It almost seemed a little concerning that she was so worried about her body. Now we have even more reason to believe that she's being a little unrealistic when it comes to how tiny she thinks she needs to be.
Went to the doc today. I've lost 36 lbs since the day Lincoln was born. 25 lbs to go!
— Kail Lowry (@KailLowry) November 4, 2014
Um, excuse me? She wants to lose 25 more pounds?!? She'll waste away to practically nothing if she loses that much weight!
More from The Stir: Kailyn Lowry Shares Surprising Views on Controversial Parenting Issue
I mean, it's totally commendable that she's taken off 36 pounds so far, but seriously, it's just so hard to imagine another 25 coming off her already slimmed-down frame.
While it's fantastic that Kail is setting goals for herself and is committed to regaining her pre-baby figure, let's just hope she isn't putting too much pressure on herself to get down to a weight that might make her look nothing like herself.
She's beautiful just the way she is, inside and out!
Do you think Kail will be too skinny if she loses 25 more pounds?

Make plans to visit Winnipeg in 2013
The countdown clock for Lutheran Church–Canada's 2013 National Youth Gathering began ticking as the organizing committee held its first meeting July 25-27 in Winnipeg.
Under the leadership of Deacon Michael Gillingham (DPS, Bethel Sherwood Park, Alta.) the volunteer committee discussed location, theme, potential speakers and how the Gathering will integrate with a national 25th anniversary outreach convocation for Lutheran Church–Canada.
Since the district rotation for the youth gathering brings the triennial event to the Central District and Winnipeg hosted LCC's founding convention in 1988, the city will host both the gathering and anniversary convocation at the University of Manitoba and area hotels.
The youth gathering will run from Thursday, July 4 to Tuesday, July 9, 2013. The anniversary outreach convocation begins Friday evening, July 5 and concludes with a joint anniversary worship service Sunday, July 7.
"We're still working on the Gathering's theme and will sort that out soon," Mr. Gillingham reports. "We have a number of speakers we'd like to invite but we'll do that after we finalize the theme."
The volunteer youth gathering committee consists of Rev. Mark Danielson (Trinity, Fisherville, Ont.); Rev. Mark Dressler (St. Paul's, Saskatoon); Deacon Michael Gillingham; Deacon Amanda Knodel (DPS, Good Shepherd, Regina); Tony Marchand, (youth leader, Historic St. Paul's, Kitchener, Ont.); Deacon Kaitlyn Roller (DPS, Trinity, Fisherville, Ont.); and Bill Wardecker (youth leader, Peace, Winnipeg). The chairman noted that "the committee is pretty stoked to be working together and is praying that God will bless the Gathering according to His good purposes and will."
LCC is working with Lutheran Hour Ministries' Regional Outreach Conference (ROC) organizers to put together the anniversary outreach convocation. The two events plan to share Saturday workshops and an evening outreach event. Participants in the outreach conference may also have the opportunity to work with the youth in servant events throughout the city. "The committee thinks an intergenerational servant event could be pretty cool," said the chairman.
The direction for holding the two events together comes from a convention resolution passed in 2008.

The Swordlords of Restov announced that they had need of entreprenuers and heroes, they were to meet at a local tavern to find more information. Once there the individuals would form expedition forces to fulfill their charters. At the tavern there were all manner of people and several groups had already almost completely formed, most very large in size. It so happens that this group of adventurers was bestowed with the charter in the Greenbelt. After a short time in Restov the party set out for Nikta's Crossing, where they caught up with an adventurer known as Maegar Varn.
*Note: Didn't take any notes when we met at the tavern, so fill in what you remember. I pretty much just started when Wind started gambing with Magar Varn (the guy who offered a spot in his party for Wind and Hylex offering them 1/10 of earnings). *
The fledgling party:
Calessee Kel'Marcavia – half-elf oracle
Garien Loxley – human 'mountain man' gunslinger
Hylex Durdan Krull – human bard
Kruznic Salvoris – half-elf cavalier
Lindetheil 'Melody' Arden – elf druid and her badger companion
Sven Ragnarsson – human barbarian
Wind Stark – human wizard
Game 1-
Lamashan (October) 1 – 5
The next day, after the party was formed at the "Pirates Well" tavern, Lindetheil used her knowledge and predicted that there would be bad weather for at least a few days. Deciding to stick around the tavern for awhile, the party came from there rooms to find Magar Varn gambling and doing quite well. Wind decides to gamble also. The first time, he betted against the house. The second time, it was against Magar. Third time, Magar wanted to make things more interesting by betting for items instead. Wind asks Magar if he has any maps of the area (which he does) and after much deliberation Magar offered Wind a deal. Either pay 100 gold to copy one of the four regions that Magar had maps of or bet 50 to be able to copy it. Wind decided to pay 100 gold (party split the cost) to copy the map of Noman Heights.
*Note: Magar spoke of Breg (a nobleman) that is missing in the greenbelt region.
We come across Oleg's trading post and hear some sort of pounding noise coming from inside. Wind walks in to find a goblin dressed in half plate that does not seemed too interested in us (his name is Getsthepig). Oleg Leveton was hammering on the roof when Getsthepig called him down. When Oleg comes down he goes into another room. Out of that room comes a russian "mail ordered bride" girl greets us happily offering food and drink, happy that we are here (her name is Svetlana). Oleg (50 something) and Svetlana (28) are together. Hylex shows Oleg the charter that we recieved. Oleg directed Hylex toward Svetlana and Hylex hands the charter to her. She claims that bandits come on the first of the month to rob them calling it taxes. Last time, they stole her ring, threatened to burn down the trading post and kill Svetland. The bandit's first vist was three months ago. The party immediately sets up a plan to ambush the bandits on the following day.
The party devised a cunning plan to trap the bandits inside the walls and have them surrounded. Thus when the bandits returned to the outpost they all entered by horseback into the courtyard. Oleg greeted them nervously as the bandits demanded their monthly 'tribute'.
The trap was then sprung, the gate came crashing down by the tug of a rope by Lindetheil. Kruzinic had rigged the gate to do so the day before. Up on the walls Lindetheil, Garien and Calessee stood. In front of the bandits rode out Kruznic on his mount, Wind and Hylex. From the side of the courtyard Sven and Getsthepig (offered to help beat up the badnits) flank the brigands.
As planned Wind throws a spell at the bandits making a few collapse into unconsciousness. Kruznic demands that the bandits surrender but when they refuse he charges a bandit put fails to land a lance blow. From the walls Garien fires his musket but it misfires. Hylex casts a spell and a bandit collapses to the ground laughing uncontrollably! The bandits are surprised but fight back as they have a competent, smartass leader whom proclaims himself a bandit lord. The bandits rally shooting arrows all around, one bandit makes a racial slur against elves and fells Linetheil with an arrow!
The bandit leader demands that everyone surrenders or they will be killed, for they are no match for him. Sven and Getsthepig attack. Sven aims his axe at the bandits as he proclaims, 'I got your surrender right here!' before jumping up on a cart with a bandit and cleaving the life from him with his war axe. The battle ensues, Garien attempts some jumping maneuver from the wall but instead falls straight down impacting the hard ground. Kruznic engages more bandits, as does Getsthepig. Hylex sings a song to rally his friends.
Sven aims his axe at the next bandit and proclaims, 'Do you want my surrender too!?', before leaping over and cleaving him dead. The bandits find themselves losing and the remainder surrender to the party when Kruznic tells them to do so. The first bandit to surrender is spared, taken under Kruznic's watch. The rest are executed by the sword, by Kruznic's hand. Except for the leader whom pissed everyone off as the party tried to interrogate him and is killed by a magic missile to the face.
With the defeat of the bandits they gain information from Jon the Captive about where the bandit camp is. Also gained is a sizable amount of bows, arrows, equipment and about eight horses. Oleg and Svetlana are very grateful that the party rid them of the bandit thugs and offer them a permanent place to stay in the post's cramped lodging cabin.

14? 18? 22?
Young is subjective. In some cultures, it is common to have a child by the age of 16 and in others it's not acceptable to have one until you're over the age of 30. It depends on maturity, current living situation, money, overall health, the man and woman's current focuses, etc.
Our lives in this part of the world turned out to be very difficult to manage and afford, so we usually put off weddings and children for our thirties or even forties. Most of the cases in which young couples have children is because they did not plan it. They just screwed it up.
Although there are few cases of planned babies in young couples, they tend to come from impoverished neighborhoods and poor educational background, which means they decided without any basis or foundation. They just did it because this is what they were taught to do despite the difficulties they should face when bringing a baby to this fvcking world.
Teenage pregnancy and childbirth is not something that should be encouraged and/or glorified. Often, teens who become pregnant and decide to carry their pregnancy to term cripple their chances for going on to some type of education and training to learn a skill, and to therefore have meaningful employment. All too often, pregnant teens end up on public assistance because it's their only option, plus most teens who end up pregnant don't come from backgrounds where an interest in any kind of education thrives. Plus most of them aren't interested in school and drop out.
Another reason that teens should not have children is because they're not physically, mentally or emotionally mature themselves, and they stand an even better chance of having a baby that's born prematurely, and/or has severe developmental delays, or other neurological problems.

The hardest decision any of us have to make as owners is when to say goodbye - when to put a much loved cat to sleep. These euphemisms help us to deal with it, but in the end, we have the terrible responsibility of deciding when the pain and suffering is too much, and it's time for our pets to leave this world.
How do I decide?
Sometimes it's straightforward (although no less heart wrenching) - if a cat's been so severely injured that they cannot survive. Most of the time there isn't an easy, clear-cut answer. A lot of cats are living with chronic degenerative conditions at the end of their lives – much like us humans - arthritis, kidney failure, heart disease, thyroid problems, diabetes and so on. These conditions are often manageable, but not curable, and cats may have both good and bad days.
Perhaps the most helpful way forward is to make two lists for your cat, ideally while they're still healthy:
● Things they love to do
● Things they really hate doing/having done
Then, if and when you're concerned about their quality of life, you can get those lists out and compare them to your cat's current life, using them to help you answer three questions:
1. Are they still able to do some of the things they love?
2. Are they able to avoid doing most of the things they hate?
3. All in all, are there more good days than bad ones?
If the answers to all of those questions are "yes", then it probably isn't time yet. If the answer is "maybe", then you really need to think - do you think it's fair to keep going until the answer is a definite "no"?
What other reasons might there be to have my cat put to sleep?
The three questions above are really useful in most situations, but not all. Other - perfectly good - reasons to call make the decision to put your cat to sleep might include:
● Your cat having a deteriorating condition and there being no treatment available.
● The full treatment is unaffordable (some treatments can be really expensive, and none of us have inexhaustible finances). Sometimes it's kinder to call it a day than attempt less than optimal or incomplete treatment.
● The cat is coping with life well in the current circumstances but will not be following a major change (for example, moving house, or the only person in the household who's able to give medication no longer being around or able to do so).
We see all of these situations, and more, in practice on a regular basis so don't think we won't be receptive to your concerns - we'll understand!
Can you make the decision for me?
In most cases, no. There are a (very) few specific, and generally very sad, situations where we can, or where we will strongly advise you one way or the other; but in most cases, this is a decision you as the cat's owner must make. After all, you know your cat much better than we ever could! As vets, it's our role to find out what's wrong with them, and then provide you with the options as to what can be done, so that you can make an informed decision as to what is best for that particular cat.
Remember, though, whatever your decision, we won't judge you on it - you know them and you're more likely to know what they would want than we are.
When I do make the decision, what will happen?
You'll make an appointment for one of the vets to see you and your cat. We'll ask you to sign a short form, and then, if your cat is nervous or stressed, we may give them a sedative first to help them relax. If you want to stay with them, please do, but if you'd rather not, that's fine too. After that we'll give an injection of a very powerful anaesthetic - they'll go peacefully to sleep; the sleep will get deeper and deeper until they just stop, and they're gone. Usually, we'll give the injection into a vein in the front leg, and one of our nurses will give them a cuddle.
Afterwards, you have a number of options for their remains - you can:
● Take them home to be buried
● Allow them to be buried with other cats and dogs by the Municipality
● Send them for cremation with their ashes returned in a casket, to be kept, buried or scattered.
Always remember, when the time comes, you're doing it for their benefit - to stop the pain or end the suffering. We look after our pets throughout their lives, and at the end, we have a responsibility to them.
If you're concerned about your cat's quality of life, please give us a call so we can talk about it.

Match Page 2017-18 - Summary
The GUINNESS PREMIERSHIP champions took the best part of an hour to subdue the experienced visitors' pack after Mark Regan – another member of the 200 club – gave them an early lead.
But they were exposed in defence as England hopefuls Tom Rees and Tom Voyce took advantage of some missed tackles to help themselves to tries either side of half-time. Alex King took over the kicking in the absence of Mark van Gisbergen and drilled over a conversion and four penalties.
Voyce and Stuart Abbott, in particular, both had points to prove to England boss Andy Robinson after being discarded from the 22-man squad to face
Dallaglio, meanwhile, looked back to near his best just over 12 years after he made his league debut in an 18-15 win over Harlequins in September 1993. The former England captain produced a typically industrious performance that included some earth-shattering defensive work that loosened Bristol's grip on the game.
The visitors dominated the opening half-hour with a direct approach from their experienced pack and a refreshing willingness to keep the ball alive when they might have played for territory.
They were helped as Wasps struggled at the lineout where Raphael Ibanez was struggling to find his range before being replaced at the interval.
One lineout miss led to Bristol's 10th-minute opening try when a turnover at the tail saw Dave Hilton and Matt Salter drive infield for Regan to score under the posts.
Strange converted and added penalties in the 25th and 30th minutes with King replying as the visitors established a 13-3 lead.
They were reduced to 14 men, though, when Sam Cox – who had impressed with one break outside Ayoola Erinle – was sin-binned for tripping Paul Sackey.
Wasps responded by picking up the tempo to create the position for Rees' superb individual try.
The flanker, in England's standby group of players for the autumn internationals, produced a dynamic break down the blindside and shrugged off Jake Rauluni and David Lemi to score in the corner.
Lemi showed Bristol were still a threat when he chased his own kick ahead from half-way, just failing to get the final touch before the ball went dead.
And although King cut the gap to two points with his 47th-minute penalty, the champions were penned back on their own line when Voyce set off on his game-breaking run.
The wing was one of eight players omitted when Robinson cut his squad this week after being overtaken in the pecking order by Northampton's Ben Cohen.
Many wings in the world game have struggled to better Voyce's score, though, as he stepped on the gas 10 metres from his own line to accelerate past three players before cutting in and cruising away from Vaughan Going and Marko Stanojevic for the try.
King converted then added a penalty in the 71st minute to put his side in the driving seat at last, despite Strange's fourth successful shot at goal for Bristol.

LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - After being hit by multiple storms, Sha Sha's of Creole moved to the downtown district in Lake Charles, only to be hit by another obstacle soon after.
"We went through two storms when we moved here because of the devastation of the Cameron Parish area and this was actually the hardest thing we'd ever been through," said Sha Sha's owner, Sherry Styron.
The Ryan Streetscape project is almost a year behind schedule. Styron said construction stayed in front of the restaurant for seven months.
"I think construction first started on the streetscape when we had been here about a year and a half and that is devastating for a new business," said Styron.
The goal of Streetscape is to calm traffic and provide pedestrian friendly improvements that will increase economic development downtown.
Downtown development officials said unexpected delays did happen, but they want to take the time to do the job right.
"The project was estimated on a timeline but as we've moved down the street we've faced some challenges," said Director of Downtown Lake Front Developments, Lori Marinovich.
Officials also said some people don't realize many of the issues causing the delay.
"We're working on infrastructure that's 40 and 50 years old. We've been able to address some waterline issues and some drainage issues as we go along," said Marinovich.
But for Styron, the delays meant her business struggled to survive. She said many customers could not tell the restaurant was open with construction in front of it.
"Still after all these months, we're still trying to get our customers to come back on this path," said Styron.
While some businesses downtown see a good and bad side to the construction, other businesses only see it as a positive.
"Construction workers worked with us to allow our customers easy access to the facility so it was actually a very positive experience," said owner of Gigi's Downtown, Gigi Kaufman.
The construction has now moved down the road from Sha Sha's. Even with the delay, everyone seems to agree that the city looks better.
"Overall, it really has a pleasant feel and it's welcoming and I think that's what the city was trying to accomplish," said Styron.
Styron knows there's a bigger picture to the construction and remains positive. She hopes the Ryan Streetscape Project does bring growth to the city and her restaurant.
Downtown Development officials said the project should be completed by the end of the summer.
The public can attend meetings to learn more about the Streetscape project.

It's what I'm hoping to get for Christmas, but I'm with T-Mobile until forever. I would love to know how you like it, though. I may get one someday.

Welcome to the dark side. I've been happy with mine, so far. I've used it for Google mail, chat and maps. Even visited a few other non-google sites. God bless the mobile friendly websites. May more websites learn the virtues and blessings of being mobile web browser compatible.
The battery life is less than my old fashioned flip phone or my iPod touch, only 2 days. I was expecting that. I've corrected that by getting an external battery, for emergency charging. An device called Duracell Rechargeable Powerhouse.
The next step in my Droid adventure is to get the development kit and play around with making some apps. Hmmm... maybe I can port that Maptool app over to the Android. I'm guessing that will be "just" a matter of GUI rework.

Shade Rupe's Dark Stars Rising is a collection of interviews with first class weirdos in the world of cinema and performance. What makes it a special read for connoisseurs of this sort of bizarre entertainment is Rupe's earnest, non-ironic, deeply curious set of questions, which bring out a candor and trust in his subjects. Told entirely in Q&A format, there's a shortage of editorializing, and Rupe allows his superstars to speak for themselves.
For example, the spectacularly large drag queen Divine, best known for appearing in such John Waters classics as Pink Flamingos and Polyester, opens up about various inherent vulnerabilities and interests. Perhaps it's because Rupe's very first question isn't a question—he simply states, "Those are great shoes." Divine's response is, "I always say I look normal from my neck to my ankles, and the head and the shoes are always, as I say, fucked up." Rupe's follow-up question wonders if Divine gets bugged a lot for looking "normal" and already we're set up for a little more to the discussion than, "Did you really eat the dog turd in that movie?"
Transgressive bad-boy filmmakers like Gaspar Noe (I Stand Alone) and Richard Kern (You Killed Me First) delve into their work, and how they have evolved over the years. Kern's deadpan sense of humor about living in his fantasies is summed up when he says, "[When I was making] all that violent stuff, I was in that phase. Now I'm in the pervert phase. I don't have to hide anymore." Noe explains how his projects became fueled by personal anger at being rejected by financiers, or observing his friends make movies while his hands were tied. "Then you start hating the person who refused your script," he says, "[to the point where] you kill her in your own dreams…and [when you finally make the film] it all comes out in the movie!"
Jim Van Bebber (The Manson Family) talks at great length about the struggles of money and distribution, and Richard Stanley (Dust Devil) reminisces about the art form but also how he has to keep going when the bottom falls out from projects and they simply dissolve. Buddy Giovinazzo (Combat Shock) waxes philosophical about life after his movie got recut and his gradual transition into writing novels. While one wishes Rupe would ask them to wax philosophical about the work itself, it's nevertheless compelling to see how these directors on the fringe try to carve out some kind of creative existence for themselves.
Some of the interviews are more catchy—you can't go wrong with witty character actor Udo Kier, who recounts his experiences with Gus Van Sant, Lars von Trier and other directors, but keeps the focus centered on himself ("Medea is my favorite film because I play the main part, of course. That's why it's my favorite film.") Other entertainers focused on their own sense of self, such as performance artist Brother Theodore and filmmaker/actor Crispin Glover, are wonderfully loopy stunt interviews. Alejandro Jodorowsky even does a Tarot card reading of the author which includes the delicious bon mot, "Paint your beard gold and rape your mother!" The author seems to smile as he acknowledges these words to live by.
While some of the interview subjects are less vivid than the photographs that accompany the article (Zamora the Torture King is more of a spectacle than a raconteur; Hermann Nitsch's flesh and blood sculptures speak louder than his ability to elucidate his themes), who else—what other journalist—would take the time to track down these strange fellows and get them to take a trip down memory lane? Johanna Went is able to give us a glimpse into a punk rock scene that doesn't really seem to exist anymore, back in a time when the club community seemed smaller somehow—more of a social network than nowadays, where everything seems to have moved online. And I wonder if the video art of the great eccentric Floria Sigismondi, and the gay-grim texts of Dennis Cooper, are now museum pieces of yesteryear. If they are, that's a great pity, and thank god Shade Rupe is cataloguing and creating a context for these artists. They exist within the margins, and we the masses need to be continually reminded of their existence.

International Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association
PRE Mundial
International Registry of Colored Horses
Foundation sire Spanish-Norman Registry
Listed with Pinto Horse Association of America
Nickname: Bunny
Foaled 4/10/96
Height: 15.1 barefoot
Color: DNA tested homozygous black, (EEaa) Also carries rabicano, possible sabino.
Regaliz's sire Axis/Ingrato IX is listed in the LIMPRE Book of Merits and is line bred to the famous Maluso and his son Agente. Almost every current Andalusian competing in FEI dressage today has this bloodline from Spain's Military Stud. Regaliz's dam is Terry bred from specially selected bloodlines for functionality.
Regaliz's family tree has many proven performance competitors in all circles from dressage to Best Movement. That shot of Terry blood combined with the Military is what gives Regaliz his controllable flash and flair.
Regaliz is a superb example of correct, compact Spanish type possessing balance and harmony. He has the bone, substance, movement, nature and noble bearing that have made the Andalusian "The Horse of Kings".
Regaliz is gaining incredible popularity for the quality of offspring he throws. They are winning USDF Year End Awards as well as Breed Ring Championships.
His foals are all stunning movers and lookers with quiet temperaments and charming character. His prepotency is obvious and he consistently throws short backs, round baroque form, well set necks, great bone and substance, friendly smart, trainable temperaments, and especially his powerful haunches with their thrust, collection, lateral agility and weight carrying abilities. So consistent is his get that spotting them is quite easy when you see those hind ends in action.
Regaliz is precisely that, a character. He is immensely proud and even standing in the stall emanates a regal air and aplomb that is palpable. He is such a reliable breeding horse he is used to tease the whole herd every day during breeding season and neither gets upset or worked up. When the breeding season is done Regaliz doesn't blink at any of the mares, he knows his job is done and quietly munches his hay while waiting for next year. Nothing frazzles Regaliz. To spook or be nervous is not a noble trait and therefore beneath him.
There is another side of Regaliz which he lets loose every now and again, his sly sense of humor. His best friend in the barn is my gelding Uther who lives in the next stall. Every now and again they get into a hysterical contest of, "who can do which trick better". Uther will wave a front leg in the stall, so then will Regaliz. Then Regaliz will do a small rear, so will Uther. Then one grabs their favorite hanging toy of a milk jug and starts banging it across the bars back and forth. Then the other grabs their toy and does the same thing until the sound is deafening and we are all holding our ears.
Regaliz also never misses an opportunity to strut and show off for visitors. When turned loose he prances and struts and then will gallop up to the fence and stop dead in front of the person and stick his nose right in their face to say "how about me huh? Pretty impressive don't you think?" Then he walks back to his stall as quiet a can be. This "on/off switch" is what makes these horses so special. They really can turn on, perform and be asked for intense attitude and concentration and the next instant relax and let go of any tensions and be perfectly calm.
Regaliz loves his body and the power that comes from it so his favorite activity when he wants to show off is bouncing up and down from levade to a low crouch, then leaping back up and down again. This innate ability to leap sideways and forwards and back and diagonally has made him a study for several veterinarians who are amazed at his prowess.
Dr Judith Shoemaker, a chiropractic and acupuncture trained veterinarian from Pennsylvania, calls him neurologically perfect. To watch him rock from front to back, then diagonal to diagonal, just shows his incredible adjustability and ease of balance changes.
He knows where every cell in his body is and can gallop around in mud in a tight area without a slip or any falling off balance. His mouth holds a float and his bite is completely even which again is a reflection of his "all four square" balance. Regaliz has beautiful large open heeled front feet which don't need shoes. His legs and movements are completely straight and true.
Regaliz is DNA tested as EEaa which means he can never throw a chestnut foal even when bred to chestnut. Depending on what genetic makeup the mare is will determine the color of the foal. Regaliz will only ever throw a black gene.
Regaliz has numerous offspring both purebred Andalusian and many different crosses. He is the perfect cross for Warmblood, Thoroughbred and Saddlebred mares to produce outstanding dressage prospects with collection, flexibility and agility, with Quarter horses to produce an agile light working western horse, Arabs to add roundness and loft, and gaited horses for the ultimate baroque gaited horse. He has also been crossed with drafts for a lighter riding type horse with good presence and round build.
His extreme collection abilities make him an excellent choice for any mare owner who wishes to add that rear end balance and sitting ability to big, long strided mares. He has consistently shortened longer type backs and strengthens stifles and gaskins as well. As for aesthetics he throws his beautiful head, eager yet kind eye and his mop of long thick hair.
His foals have all gotten varying degrees of his attitude. Most of the fillies are super quiet and gentle while others have bit more spunk and want to show off more like Dad. His colts have all had dad's noble air, some more arrogant than others but they always act like gentlemen. And above all every last foal displays commonsense and the desire to be with humans and please them. And be warned, Regaliz's favorite thing is to have his bum scratched and most of his foals follow suit. They will keep you busy for hours following you around gently nudging your arm then turning around and begging for rump scroochies!
Regaliz suffered severe injury as a foal so has never been able to be shown which is truly unfortunate as he would shine and bloom in performance as he was bred too. Regaliz get are consistently wining ribbons as well as earning Regaliz Get of Sire class points! Regaliz is often in the USEF list of leading sires both for the Andalusian/Lusitano division as well as the Dressage Breeding divisions.
