Benzoyl Peroxide Acne
Benzoyl Peroxide: Proven Effective
Acne Doesn't Stand a Chance Against Benzoyl Peroxide
You want your acne treatment products to contain the most effective ingredients available to combat blemishes and breakouts. Benzoyl Peroxide fights the p. acnes bacteria that cause breakouts and blemishes to form from inside your pores. No acne-causing bacteria means no more breakouts. Fight your blemishes by fighting the cause of breakouts – p. acnes and other bacteria. In addition to killing acne-causing bacteria, Benzoyl Peroxide also reduces excess skin cells within the pore, eliminating blackheads, congested skin and clogged pores so that bacteria have nowhere to build-up. As a daily treatment in a three-step acne skin care regimen, Benzoyl Peroxide is a powerful and effective ingredient for making sure that you get clear, stay clear.
Acne Treatment Resources
Before you begin your acne treatment routine, make sure that you understand the causes of acne and your topical acne medication options. You can treat acne more effectively if you can tell the difference between acne facts and acne myths.

Desjardins NHLE Invades Europe
I believe this to be Linus Omark (right) and of course Art Garfunkel to the left (I kid). Still, it does look like a folk duo photo, further indication that hockey stars in Europe seem to get the really good and creative photographers.
I have a real concern with this year's Desjardins NHLE's. It's the same one I should have had the year Robbie Schremp put up those ridiculous numbers in London that one time.
Linus Omark had a monster season in the Swedish Elite League (SEL). Desjardins' Magic Number barely slows down the monster and without time-on-ice totals we're left to assume it's an actual level of ability.
I'm not certain it is. First of all, Omark and one other player on his team (Johan Harju) lap the rest of the team badly (point totals: Omark-55; Harju-49; next guy-29) which implies lots of ice and powerplay time. Second, this is his breakout season, so we need to be very sure it's a real level of ability before telling the world he's Gretzky (well, okay-Cliff Ronning). Third, his total is not an historic high, this isn't Phil Esposito 70-71. Finally, youtube. I have a feeling that a lot of the hype surrounding this player has to do with that youtube video–which is fine–but that doesn't really tell us about the player and what he is as a player right now.
With that as the backdrop, let's proceed. However, let's remember what she said: the man in the gabardine suit is a spy.
- Alexei Mikhnov (26) (RSL) 23-27-50
- Linus Omark (21) (SEL) 21-29-50
- Dragan Umicevic (23) (SEL) 11-17-28*
- Mikael Zhukov (23) (RSL) 10-11-21
- Alexander Bumagin (21) (RSL) 7-14-21
- Teemu Hartikainen (18) (SM-L) 15-5-20
- Josef Hrabal (23) (SEL) 0-8-8
- Johan Motin (18) (SEL) 0-3-3
I don't have the numbers for people like William Quist because they didn't play in their respective elite leagues. I have an asterisk for Umicevic because he's no longer Oilers property (but it's an interesting season he just put in). Jani Rita? 11-12-23.
A few final notes:
- The younger the better. By that I mean Hartikainen and Bumagin had similar seasons but the Finn did it at age 18. Huge difference that favors Hartikainen.
- One final note on Omark: the best way I can put it is that imo we don't really know he'd be better than Nilsson given Robert's minutes and linemates. I'm prepared for disagreement here but the lack of TOI totals hamstrings the entire process. We don't know how many at-bats Linus Omark got this season.
- The two players I'd be most interested in seeing this fall at TC (now that Omark isn't coming) are Mikhnov and Hartikainen. Plus Mrs. Robinson, of course.

By Jim Amato / Senior Boxing Writer
In April of 1967, Jimmy Ellis pounded out a fifteen round decision over Jerry Quarry to win the vacant W.B.A. heavyweight championship. In March of 1968, Joe Frazier halted Buster Mathis to win heavyweight title recognition in New York State. Two months later Bob Foster knocked out the great Dick Tiger to capture the light heavyweight crown. Foster felt the big money was in the heavyweight division and he began to challenge the champions. Frazier actively defended his title turning back Manuel Ramos, Jerry Quarry, Oscar Bonevena, and Dave Zyglewicz. Ellis on the other hand made only one defense, a disputed verdict over ex-champion Floyd Patterson. Proposed matches for Jimmy against HenryCooper, Gregorio Peralta and Robert Cleroux never materialized. By the time Ellis met Frazier in February of 1970 to unify the crown the ring rust had settled in. After Frazier destroyed Ellis he would go on to meet Foster later on that year with disastrous results for Bob.
What if during his period of idleness before the Frazier debate had Ellis entertained Foster's challenge? Foster as we would find out could not handle Frazier's power, strength and aggression. How would he have fared against a master boxer like Ellis? It may have gone something like this.

Obama Surprised by Daley's Resignation, Says News 'Was Difficult'
On The Radar
Chicagoan Bill Daley is stepping down as White House chief of staff, making way for budget director Jack Lew to take over the president's team as it heads into a tough election year. President Obama told reporters this afternoon that Daley's resignation was "not easy news to hear" and that he didn't accept the decision right away. "I asked him to take a couple of days," Obama said, adding that "the pull of the hometown we both love" ultimately won out.
Obama Makes Christmas Shopping Stop at Best Buy
On The Radar
The official White House line is that President Obama is delaying his Christmas trip to Hawaii on the off-chance that House Republicans will act on the payroll tax to his liking. But even as his press secretary was saying that during the afternoon briefing with reporters on Wednesday, Obama was unwittingly revealing another possible explanation: he hasn't finished buying his Christmas gifts yet.
Obama Blasts House GOP for Blocking Payroll Tax Cut Extension
On The Radar
While members of Congress point fingers at each other for gumming up the payroll tax cut, President Obama is watching the bickering from the White House--where he is apparently happy to spend the holiday season until a deal gets done. The rest of the Obama family has gone ahead to Hawaii for their pre-planned holiday trip. But aides say the president will continue to delay his vacation in hopes of inspiring House Republicans to take up a Senate-approved measure extending the tax cut beyond midnight New Year's Eve.
U.S. Unemployment Rate Falls to 8.6%
On The Radar
For months, political analysts have been saying that President Obama's reelection hopes hinge on the economy, with an unemployment rate of 9% or higher certain to pose serious problems for the White House. On Friday, the Labor Department announced an unexpectedly sharp decline in the November unemployment rate, to 8.6% from 9% in October, raising hopes of an accelerated recovery.
Obama redirects $50 million to fight AIDS
On The Radar
President Obama declared a new day in the fight against AIDS in the U.S. and around the world as he unveiled a plan to make life-saving drug treatments available to millions more people. The Obama administration will redirect $50 million to prevention and treatment programs across the country and will aim to help provide anti-retroviral drugs to more than 6 million people around the world, an increase of 2 million from the previous goal.

I was looking to get some slightly more detailed stats out of a git repo, more than just the command line stats you can generate. There are a couple of tools out there that generate graphs and charts for you, but they rely heavily on external libraries.
The best looking one was GitStats http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/ (example). But after checking off the pre reqs of Python, X11 and downloading and compiling GnuPlot it still wasn't creating PNG graphs due to missing 3rd party libraries!! It was proving to be a bit of a pain, but I finally managed to get it all working with just 2 downloads (I already had python) – GitStats and a pre compiled binary of GnuPlot that contains all the 3rd party dependencies used by GitStat.
Below are some simple steps to get it up and running on OSX:
Pre Requisites
Clone GitStats, I placed it into my developer folder:
$ cd ~/developer $ git clone git://repo.or.cz/gitstats.git
Download and Install Python: http://www.python.org/download/releases/
Download and run a GNUPlot .dmg and copy the app to Applications: http://www.miscdebris.net/upload/gnuplot-4.2.5-i386.dmg
Add the GNUPlot binary to your $PATH, I added it to my .profile settings, in terminal run:
$ echo 'export PATH=/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin:$PATH:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
Re boot terminal to load the new path settings.
Now navigate to your GitStats directory, and run the following, where "~/workspace/project" is the path to your git repo, and "~/public_html/project" is the output dir to save the HTML charts.
$ ./gitstats ~/workspace/project ~/public_html/project
And now run the index.html in your ~/public_html/project directory.
You can now share some lovely charts and graphs with your project managers

Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, may masquerade as a residential neighbourhood, but it's one of our favourite places for a night of underground sport, refereed by some of the best bartenders in the city. With everything from darts and pool to board games and Big Buck Hunter, these bars are our favourites. We checked in with the local refs for their best advice for successful night out with the opposite sex.
Scene: Somewhere between class and clutter, between mood and murk, and between Smith Street and Bond, is the Brooklyn Tavern.
Sport: Pool
The Call from the Ref: Although Martha is no taller than the taps she stands behind, she tells us: "The best piece of advice I could give a young person is this: Before telling the person you met online you're serious, terminate the online dating account. It's just about sending a message, ha."
Scene: Roebling Inn, where the rye flows like lager, and you might just hear some Siri-incompatible Welsh accents.
Sport: Skeeball
The Call from the Ref: Heather Leroy is a transplanted LA comic, actress, cocktailsmith and all around despicable human. (No, no, no, the good kind!) She won't judge you for ordering something girly, but she knows how to survive late-night rides on the subway: "If you get in a jam with some weirdo, don't call for help. Just point and scream PERVERT! Oh, they'll pay attention."
Scene: A short stroll down Atlantic Avenue is Floyd. The chalkboard out front declares that booze and bliss can be discovered within. Inside, the welcoming appeal of the ragtag, mismatched furniture is all the more surprising in this dark age of bedbugs.
Sport: Bocce
The Call from the Ref: Tom mans the beverage station, and the conversation flows like molasses. The slow shake of his ponytailed head says: "I have no backstory"; his scars say something different: "I don't want my mom to find out I work here."
Scene: Building on Bond is a magnetic neighbourhood foodery/drinkery/laptoppery where where the rum flows like...um, no wait...where the wifi flows like... ginger beer? (Trust us, you'll be craving a dark and stormy when you walk in the door, too.)
Sport: Board Games
The Call from the Ref: Ann isn't a stickler for the "rules" of engagement: "EVVVVERYBODY calls after three to four days, but what's so wrong with a little impatience? Two days? One day?"
Bartenders know what they're talking about. They've had front row seats to it all, from the worst pickup lines to the most successful closes, and they have nearly unlimited wisdom. What after-hours tips have you picked up from your local referees?

And let's face it: Letters are probably the most well-read portion of the paper.
But I'll say this: 99-times-out-of-a-100 they are written by those who have the fortitude – the guts, actually – to put their thoughts on paper for all to read and judge. And that's what makes small-town journalism so special. We often are acquainted with the authors.
Letter writers have friends and neighbors, just as we all do. And speaking their piece publicly does, on many an occasion, require some fortitude. And it's even been known to lose a friend or two, depending on the subject of the letter.
But, you ask, what about that one-in-a-hundred? Well, that small number is the category in which we put those few whose printed word the writers consider to be gospel. Yet, we can live with that small number.
And in a small community such as Patterson, the hometown newspaper prints them all, eliminating only those rare few that are libelous. It prints letters that are critical of the newspaper itself, individual reporters, and even the lack of press coverage of certain topics or events. Just name me another business that makes public the feelings of an irate customer.
It prints letters critical of elected officials, even when it agrees with those same officials. It runs letters on many viewpoints on which is disagrees, enabling its readership to draw their own conclusions on a wide variety of topics.
Politics and religion draw out a particular brand of letter-writers. And their feelings run deep and aren't likely to be changed by someone with an opposing point of view.
A number of years ago – nearly 30, actually – the major issue in Patterson was growth and whether the community was ready for it. Growth measures appeared on the ballot twice, and both times the pro-growth proponents won out by large margins. Thus, when I read letters that proclaim Patterson is against growth, I argue that it certainly hasn't been in the past.
Sure, longtime residents can point to the days when the level of major crime was minute; when traffic flow was different (very few stop signs in town, and we often parked on the wrong side of the street); when school-crowding didn't exist; and when four grocery stores, two drug stores, five clothing and shoe stores, a couple of appliance stores; a variety store; a good department store; and three hardware stores were all locally owned and located downtown. This is not to mention service businesses, which were plentiful.
But growth has meant chain stores, which were generally welcomed by the newer residents of our city. And that in turn closed most of the mom-and-pop businesses that served of our shopping needs for decades.
Yes, longtime Pattersonites do feel the impact of growth while new residents do not. And those feelings are sometimes vetted in letters to this newspaper – but certainly not as they once were.
I recall a week back many years ago when one of our growth issues was on the ballot. Letters ran hot and heavy on both sides of the issue. They came flooding in – dropped off in person, arriving in the mail, and stuck under the door at nighttime.
Some expressed repetitious points of view. All, of course, included the names of their authors – a requirement of publication. Three long letters came from the same person the same week. We decided to run them all – dozens of them – without editing (except for spelling and grammar), nor did we trim them for length.
That week the Irrigator had three full pages of letters – and that's when the page size was twice what it is now.
Everyone got their say. And no one complained.
Like everyone else, newspapers (or their staffers) make mistakes. We used to just laugh it off (if possible) and move on. Here's a heading on this week's web site of the Irrigator:
"Police to hose Coffee event at Blue's Café".
I thought that was the Fire Department's job.
You've read about Patterson's 2014 Community Calendar, and now you can have one in your hot little fist. (Speaking of mistakes, the word 'calendar' is misspelled on the front page of some, but not all, of the copies. Save yours. It might become a collector's item.)
Members of Boy Scout Troop 82 will set up late this week in front of Patterson Family Pharmacy and will soon be visiting local organizations. The Irrigator also will have copies available.
Everyone needs a calendar, so why not use one that has no fewer than 199 Patterson activities on it. And you can't beat the price.
By the way Judy Mullens was the first to purchase one of the new calendars, making the transaction Sunday at the Federated Church. The seller was Scout Calvin Langstaff, who recognizes a buyer when he sees one.
It's hard to remember how many times this scribe has pointed out to Bob "Spokie" Kimball the trials and tribulations of riding a bicycle. Yet he persists.
Someone apparently agrees with me and e-mailed this bit of wisdom:
"A bike can't stand on its own because it's two-tired."
On the other hand, camels have four feet, but of course Bob knows that.
Word has arrived that Jane Chaney, who lives east of the river over on Sanders Road, will turn 90 this Thursday, Dec. 5. She's a longtime member of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church.
Happy birthday, Jane.
If you've followed college football, you know that Auburn is a team blessed by a higher power.
How else would you describe the Auburn Tigers wins the last two weekends?
Some e-mails are downright humorous. Check out this one.
A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. First, of course, he had to pass an eye test. The optician showed him a card with the letters CZWIXN OSTACZ.
"Can you read this?" he was asked. "Read it? I know the guy."
Admit it. That's funny.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A more comprehensive poverty index shows that Wisconsin is doing better than what the federal government says – but the 2011 poverty rate was still higher than the year before.
A UW Madison institute said 10.7 percent of Wisconsinites were in poverty, down from 10.3 percent the previous year. Washington had put the figure at 13-percent.
The UW said there was a larger increase in child poverty to 12-point-two percent – a jump of almost a point-and-a-half.
The university's survey takes more factors into account than the federal poverty estimates, which are based only on pre-tax income.
The UW's numbers also reflect things like people's medical, transportation, and child care expenses – plus the effect of tax-funded programs for the poor like Food-Share and Badger-Care.
The report blames the increasing poverty on lower family incomes, plus changes in assistance programs.
The UW's Timothy Smeeding said Wisconsin's public aid programs are doing a good job – but not as good as in 2010. He said state officials should be wary about cutting those programs back too much.

Sometimes getting your dream project made isn't all it's cracked up to be. Perhaps that's the biggest thing I took away after watching RZA's directorial debut
The Man with the Iron Fists,
a consistently bloody if only sporadically entertaining homage to the kung fu movies – specifically of the Hong Kong-based Shaw Brothers – for which The Wu Tang Clan's mythos is generally based. I was also left wondering if we had lowered the bar – even with these sorts of B-grade action movies – to the point where merely imitating or posing
and gory elements is enough to satiate audiences nowadays. That doesn't mean I don't see a place for films such as
The Man with the Iron Fists
in today's cinema; I simply mean to ask why can't we make these good storytelling vehicles at the same time as they attempt at being bloody, kick-ass good times. If you are going to craft an homage, why not make it something that not only pays respect to what has come before, but has enough flair on its own terms to have it go above and beyond what's come in the past?
For beware all ye who enter
The Man with the Iron Fists
looking for an engaging and coherent movie that features a tight story, interesting characters or thematic truths (that won't make you laugh). You won't find it here. No, this is a movie tailored directly to fans of the genre, the friends and family of RZA as well as adolescent boys looking for a rollicking good time that is only half-delivered from a tempting trailer. Written with Eli Roth (
Cabin Fever, Hostel
), RZA's film is a strange concoction, a pastiche that never succeesfully pulls off being either homage or camp. It's filled with neat line work, interesting weapons and some fun performances, but ultimately is hampered by sloppy writing, choppy pacing and editing that can only be described as monumentally horrendous. RZA is a man of many talents; unfortunately acting, writing and directing don't appear to be among them.
To quickly summarize: RZA stars as The Blacksmith, who narrates this tale of clans fighting over a government shipment of gold headed to who knows where (perhaps The Emperor...or The Governor...or whoever) but must pass through Jungle Village, a town that seemingly has the highest number of warring clans-per-GDP of any area in China. That might be due to the Pink Blossom brothel, led by Madam Blossom (Lucy Liu) and featuring all the prettiest whores in China, including The Blacksmith's girlfriend and finest-of-the-bunch Lady Silk (Jamie Chung). The action starts early when Silver Lion (Byron Mann) and Bronze Lion (Cung Le) betray their master Gold Lion and lead their clan of Lions against the other tribes (The Hyena Clan, The Wolf Clan, The Gemini Killers) partly to get the gold, partly to cause mayhem and assert power. Enter 19th century G-Man and paunchy ex-British soldier Jack Knife (Russell Crowe), who has been sent by the Emperor to, I suppose, look over the gold and make sure nothing goes awry. Filling out the main narrative is Zen-Yi, The X-Blade (Rick Yune), the son of Gold Lion who has come to town looking to avenge his father's death at the hands of the silver and bronze-tinged lions. Former WWE superstar Dave Bautista also stars as Brass Body (his talent is pretty self-explanatory) who is in the service of Silver Lion and who has designs on Lady Silk.
A jarring aspect of this film is that it feels like disparate parts of a larger narrative. It's obvious that RZA has this world thoroughly mapped out; Roth said as much back in 2010, telling Deadline that RZA had "imagined every tribe, every fighting style, every costume" and attempted to fill out the universe in much the same way George Lucas had filled out the
Star Wars
universe. "He knows kung fu like I know horror." The relative talents of Roth as some sort of horror visionary notwithstanding, I readily admit RZA knows more about kung fu than I would ever hope to. However, that doesn't mean that knowledge easily translates into making a good movie. While his kung fu bona fides might be unquestioned, he is still a novice at turning that expertise into high quality filmmaking. Ultimately, that lack of expertise exposes his film.
The action – which is pretty much what you're going for if you're seeing
The Man with the Iron Fists
– is decent, if unspectacular. Most of the choreographed fight sequences are done well and the various weapons and fighting styles actually are pretty neat and compelling in battle. Bautista's "Brass Body" and X-Blade's suit of knives are always visually interesting, for example. However, all the hand-to-hand combat is almost uniformly killed by bad editing and sloppy quick cuts, becoming generally monotonous and muddled in the process. None of it remains memorable hours after seeing it and if you can't nail that down, suddenly your kick-ass kung fu homage doesn't quite work on the basest level you need it to. I'm also unsure as to why RZA had to shoot much of
The Man with the Iron Fists
in China; this movie could have been shot on any sound stage in or around Hollywood. RZA makes almost no use of the environment and the only notable setting is the claustrophobic Jungle Village. This setting becomes monotonous, its scale and scope exposed as limited.
Then there's RZA-the-actor, who unfortunately is terrible in the lead. His performance runs the gamut from sullen to brooding, obviously his take on a sort of quasi-samurai, regardless that this isn't a samurai movie. Kung fu notwithstanding, you need a strong central hero in this tale of clan warfare, revenge and honor. We have three sort-of, maybe, could-be heroes (it might be a stretch to call Crowe's Jack Knife a "hero"), and that's a problem for a pretty clear-cut good guys-vs.-bad guys movie. The Backsmith serves as the film's emotional gravitas, with a backstory told mostly through a narrated montage taking us and him from suffering racism in the South, to being shipwrecked, being "saved" physically and spiritually by Zen Buddhist monks, all the way to magically forging for himself a new pair of iron fists. The problem, is that you never buy it and RZA's very serious attempt to show The Blacksmith's – and by extension his own – spirtual awakening is frankly laughable.
The Man with the Iron Fists
enjoys its fantastical kung fu superheroes and supervillains, its neat weapons and gory, blood-spouting violence (no doubt pushed for by Eli Roth) and its hammy intra-clan warfare too much. If RZA was trying to make a personal statement about his own supposed spiritual journey, it instead drowns in the blood of all those disposed clansman, cleaved limbs and naughty hookers.
Everything RZA basically knows about trying to make movies comes from a set visit to
Kill Bill
and having Eli Roth acting as the tutor looking over the student's work. With production lagging, scenes reportedly started getting done in one take to compensate for time. About 6 weeks into filming, RZA began pushing the cast and crew to work faster; eventually his assistant director told him that his pushing was resulting in stunt workers receiving injuries and being sent to the hospital on a daily basis. Roth began stepping in and directing shots for RZA. Most damning – and obvious – was the film's original length. RZA's first cut of the film clocked in at 4 hours and his desire was to split it and release two films back-to-back. Universal and Roth had other ideas and eventually had RZA's 2-film, 4-hour epic cut down to 96 minutes. At one point during the editing process, RZA admitted walking away, disgusted at having to cut his vision down so much. I have no idea what RZA's original vision would have looked like on the screen, but I can understand his frustration. Whether it was simply because he wasn't getting his way or because he could clearly see what I saw, I don't know, but the editing issues, pacing problems and story holes are there, screaming out and keeping his dream project from being nearly as good as it should be.
The film has no strong central hero, while it remains unclear who its chief villain should be (is it Silver Lion? Brass Body? The mysterious cloaked figure? None of the above?). Relationships are teased, but either remain underdeveloped or get suddenly cut off. Characters pop up out of nowhere and then disappear just as fast as they appeared. Story threads either have strong, clear beginnings that trail off without proper (or interesting) resolution, or ambiguous/mysterious beginnings that have out-of-nowhere revelations. RZA might have mapped this all out, but all that mythology, preparation and world-building didn't make it into the movie. What we have here is an hour and a half of footage out of four and as result, the whole thing feels strangely incomplete.
However, all those sins and missteps could have been – at least partially – excused to a certain degree, if
The Man with the Iron Fists
was consistently rousing and a wild, messy, entertaining affair. Unfortunately, RZA's movie doesn't even cut it in that department. Not everything is terrible; Russell Crowe is having the time of his life, both in this movie and at the buffet. Okay, fat jokes might be a low blow, but Crowe's – paunchiness, for lack of a better term – is striking and shows an actor doing things and allowing himself to be seen in a light audiences are generally unaccustomed to seeing. Crowe, Lucy Liu and Byron Mann all ham it up and it gives the movie a quality I wish it had more of. I have no idea how RZA got Russell Crowe to do this, but sort of like Tom Cruise in
Rock of Ages,
I'm glad he did. It's an entertaining, fun performance from a major movie star in an otherwise mediocre movie.
But perhaps the greatest sin and most damning thing I could say about it is that – through about an hour and ten minutes,
I was bored.
That is almost a monumental failure on the part of RZA and company, especially considering what kind of movie this is, what it has going for it and trailers that made it look insanely entertaining – be it of the good or so-bad-it's-good variety. And once again, we come back to the issue of RZA not only starring, but writing and directing. The pacing is strangely sluggish and the editing just never lets audiences get engaged enough to have as much fun as they want to have. Some will likely be disappointed that the wall-to-wall action teased in the film's marketing is not exactly what we get. Yes, there's lots of action, but I found myself wanting even more, building to an insane climax. We got the action-packed climax, but it feels like a bit of a slog to get there, which is not something you want from a movie such as this. Also, featuring really cool weapons and decently choreographed fights is all good and well, but those are supporting elements that fill out what should be a good movie. Those things don't mean as much or hold as much value if they are in the service of a bad or mediocre movie. Stories and characters are what is important, and I don't just mean neat gimmicks and pretty animated physical characteristics.
In the end, it all comes off as third-rate Tarantino (which makes sense if Eli Roth is "second-rate Tarantino"). Instead of reinventing the genre (which was their stated goal), or even delivering a hugely enjoyable and thoroughly ass-kicking martial arts epic, RZA and company have instead produced an inconsistent, mildly enjoyable but bad and messy movie. RZA's dream for
The Man with the Iron Fists
was to direct his kung fu dream project and reinvent the genre. He got halfway there, but unfortunately you can't always make all your dreams come true.
The 411
: RZA's kung fu dream project is a mixed bag that is more disappointing than it should be. The weapons are cool, many of the fight sequences are well choreographed and a number of the performances are good fun (Russell Crowe in particular). However, sloppy writing, strange pacing and truly horrendous editing undercuts it all, especially the action. Also, RZA might be a great music producer, but a great actor he is not. Until it's action-packed climax, it's frankly on the boring side and it quickly becomes obvious that there is a lot more footage that was shot that isn't on the screen. It's not offensively bad, but it is disappointing, especially considering what we've seen in the marketing for the film.
Not Recommended.

Representatives of communities upstream of the proposed F-M Diversion are saying enough is enough. Today the Joint Powers Authority of Wilkin and Richland counties filed a lawsuit against the Army Corps of Engineers all in an attempt to derail the diversion project. They say the Corps is breaking the law by using hundreds of acres of farms, homes, and stretches of land as water storage to protect Fargo in the event of a flood. Valley News team's Eric Crest has the details.
For two years the J-P-A, the Joint Powers Authority, a Wilkin and Richland county collaboration has been trying to be heard. They worry that the Army Corp of Engineers is going to flood their property in an effort to keep Fargo dry.
"They don't have the answers to the questions. They're going ahead with out the answers and something had to be done to put a halt to this project," says Wilkin County Attorney Tim Fox.
The solution was for the J-P-A to file a civil action complaint stating the Corp, got it wrong.
"If we make a decision to remove land from a flood plain and flood other people that's contrary to what federal law is and state law is in Minnesota," says Fox.
"It's unfortunate that we have to file this lawsuit but our voices aren't being heard and this was our last alternative," says MNDAK Upstream Coalition member Nathan Berseth.
The lawsuit just filed has less to do with how to control the seasonal flooding of the Red River and more to do with the current proposal. The lawsuit takes aim at the Army Corp of Engineers solution which is the diversion. This lawsuit could stop the diversion before it even gets started.
"We're not trying to prevent Fargo from getting flood protection. We're attempting for everybody to have reasonable flood protection at a reasonable cost," says Fox.
At the Wilkin County Courthouse where the lawsuit was filed it's the people that could be directly impacted by the diversion that are hoping this lawsuit gets attention.
"There will be a lot of congressman looking at this going wait a minute. This doesn't have the full support of the entire area. There's a lot of projects across the nation that have the entire support of everyone. Why would we fund this project," says Berseth who hopes that the lawsuit will force state representatives to rethink the move.
"This was the end of the road for us. We've done everything to meet with politicians. We had a recent meeting with the Army Corp reps this summer," says Fox.
The lawsuit against the Army Corps of Engineers was just filed today. We have yet to hear back from members of the F-M Diversion Authority about how they feel the lawsuit will pan out.
Original Story...
A lawsuit was filed Monday at the Wilkin County Courthouse that looks to challenge the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion in court.
The Joint Powers Authority held a meeting in Breckenridge, Minnesota, on Monday and voted on whether or not to move forward with a lawsuit against the F-M Diversion Authority and the Army Corps of Engineers. Representatives from Wilkin and Richland counties cast their votes Monday afternoon and decided to go ahead with the plan.
The Upstream Coalition is concerned about damage that could be done by overland flooding. The group has presented alternatives, but feels the ideas have fallen on deaf ears.
Valley News Team's Eric Crest was at the meeting Monday afternoon and will have the details coming up tonight on Valley News Live and here, on www.valleynewslive.com.

From WENN.com
The Dazed and Confused star was taken into custody for disorderly conduct and assault on 27 January (13) after allegedly punching a bouncer at the Martini Ranch bar in Scottsdale and getting aggressive with police who arrived at the scene.
London has maintained his innocence ever since, claiming he was a victim, and now he has undergone a procedure to repair a deep nasal fracture and severe orbital floor fracture, as well as have a titanium plate inserted into the right side of his face.
And it appears his medical problems are far from over - editors at TMZ.com report the 40 year old still needs to have orthopedic and ocular surgeries and it will be a ""very long time"" before he recovers.

See comments above. The shoe rack did not even last one day. It snapped where it was held together. I had to go buy another shoe rack and start all over.
The shoe rack, on the other hand,went together well and I loaded it with my shoes, it fell apart last nite at 230AM. I will put it back together tonight and try again. I guess the bare minimum of plactic was used in the base, which is NOT wide enough. Shame to order something and then have to re-engineer it to work.

This idea of decorated chocolate stirring spoons has been around for quite some time, but every single time I see it I just fall in love with it again so I had to share it with ya'll! Imagine chocolate with orange sprinkles for a Halloween Party? Chocolate with pink nonpareils for a Tea Party or White Chocolate with red candies for Christmas? White chocolate with white sanding sugar for a wedding? Sweet ideas like this one that can be adapted for almost any party or celebration are my absolute favorite. You could even pipe a monogram on the spoon. Or tie a cute ribbon on the base of it. See? So many options with this simple idea.
Look how ornate this one is?! Like a work of art…
So want to try your hand at making them? They're SIMPLE! Here is what you will need…
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate or white chocolate (or milk chocolate, you get the idea)
- 40 Plastic Spoons
- Microwaveable bowl
- Vegetable Oil
- Wax Paper
- Sprinkles, nonpareils, decorative candies. Check out Layer Cake Shop, Bake It Pretty+ Sweet! Baking Supply for lots of sweet candies.
- For gifting, I love buying cellophane bags from Nashville Wraps.
Melt chocolate in microwavable (glass preferable) bowl for 1 minute. Stir. Continue heating at 30 second intervals until smooth. Pour in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and stir. Dip spoons in chocolate. For a clean look as seen above take another spoon and pour melted chocolate into spoon. Decorate with sprinkles + candies. Freeze or refrigerate to harden. All Done!
If giving as a gift, place in long cellophane bag and tie with a bow! A bag of stirring spoons and Hot Chocolate: 50 Heavenly Cups of Comfort would be a fabulous combo! I went to a cooking class with the author, Fred Thompson. He's from my hometown (Raleigh/Durham, NC), and the hot chocolate we tested was unbelievable. I always make a few varieties around the holidays.

|Identifying foraging events in deep diving southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, using acceleration data loggers
|S.L. Gallon1F. Bailleul2Jean-Benoît Charrassin3Christophe Guinet2Charles-André Bost2Yves Handrich4M. Hindell1
|Southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) range widely throughout the Southern Ocean and are associated with important habitats (e.g., ice edges, shelf) where they accumulate energy to fuel their reproductive efforts on land. Knowledge of the fine scale foraging behaviour used to garner this energy, however, is limited. For the first time, acceleration loggers were deployed on three adult southern elephant seals during a translocation study at Kerguelen Island. The aims of the study were to (1) identify prey capture attempts using 2-D accelerometer tags deployed on the head of southern elephant seals, (2) compare the number of foraging dives identified by simple dive depth profiles and accelerometer profiles and (3) compare dive characteristics between prey encounter and non-prey encounter dives. The 2-D loggers recorded depth every second, surge and heave accelerations at 8 or 16 Hz and were carried for periods between 23 and 121 h. Rapid head movements were interpreted to be associated with prey encounter events. Acceleration data detected possible prey encounter events in 39-52% of dives whilst 67-80% of dives were classified as foraging dives when using dive depth profiles alone. Prey encounters occurred in successive dives during days and nights and lasted between tenths of a second and 7.6 min. Binomial linear mixed effect models showed that seals were diving significantly deeper and increased both descent rate and bottom duration when encountering prey. Dive duration, however, did not significantly increase during dives with prey encounters. These results are in accordance with optimal foraging theory, which predicts that deep divers should increase both their transit rates and the time spent at depth when a profitable prey patch is encountered. These findings indicate that this technique is promising as it more accurately detects possible prey encounter events compared with dive depth profiles alone and thus provides a better understanding of seal foraging strategies.

Dozens of balloons were released by the family and friends of Kaitlin Gerber.
It's been less than one week since Kaitlin was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend.
Tonight her loved ones gathered to say goodbye at the Rib Cage in Maumee.
Kaitlin worked there since she was 14 years old.
"I want people to remember her smile. She was such a pretty happy person, she had an amazing personality," said Rachael Mhaewski, Kaitlin's friend, who organized the event.
Kaitlin Gerber was 20 years old.

No Ceasefire, My Son, Finish the Job!
Dear Son,
It was good speaking with you and hearing that you are in excellent spirits. Please call home from time to time when you can. And try to fill your free time with Torah learning. We are told that Joshua was reprimanded by the angel in charge of the armies of Israel for neglecting to study Torah during breaks in the battle. We are the Nation of the "Safra and Sefer,' the Sword and the Book. When we engage in battle, we give 100% to the fight. But whenever we have free time, the obligation to meditate on the Torah day and night returns in full measure. I know, it isn't easy in your present situation, not knowing when the order to enter Gaza will come, but Torah study is as important as cleaning your rifle and making sure that your machsaniot are all loaded with bullets.
For the meantime, I will try to send you a Torah thought each day. I noticed an abridged "easy reader" copy of 'Robinson Caruso" in your room, and remembered you saying that you wanted to improve your skills in English, so I'll write these letters in English, and that way you can learn Torah and improve your English at the same time.
If you have access to a radio, I'm sure you are hearing a lot of talk about the supreme effort of the Israeli Air Force not to injure "innocent civilians." You already know what I think about that. We are not engaged in a match of badminton. This is war. The Hamas isn't merely a handful of terrorists. Gaza is a terrorist state. The people living there identify with Hamas and with its constantly vocalized oath to destroy Israel. They "voted" Hamas into power. Hamas and all of the citizens of Gaza seek our annihilation. This is a war of state against state.
But let me remind you of another interesting point. This past year, the government of Syria has slaughtered 50,000 truly innocent civilians. Does the world give a damn? No. Has anyone seriously ordered Assad to stop? No. The world, even the Arab world itself, really doesn't care that tens of thousands of innocent Arab civilians are being slaughtered in Syria. But when Israel kills a few "innocent" Palestinians bystanders in Gaza who were watching terrorists fire a missile toward your grandparents in Ashkelon, then all of the world in cries out unison, from the U.S. State Department, to the United Nations, and the leaders of Russia, England, and France.
Suddenly filled with compassion for the innocent Arab victims, they all immediately hold emergency press conferences, and warn Israel not to escalate the conflict by daring send in ground troops in Gaza to uproot the terror, lest there be more civilian casualties. What hypocrisy! Are the Arabs in Gaza any different from the Arabs in Syria? Why is the world silent when Assad kills 50,000 innocent civilians, and suddenly aghast in a hysterical uproar when Israel kills a handful of "innocents" who just happened to be hanging around a rocket launcher?
Their double standard is so opaque! So now, my boy, I want to let you in on a secret that I want you to pass on to all the guys in your platoon. What's the real reason that the Egyptians, and the British, and President Barak Hussein Obama don't want our troops to go into Gaza and finish the job of erasing this evil incarnate from the world? It isn't because they suddenly love innocent Arabs, believe me.
The answer lies in the Torah portion we read on Shabbat. Already in Rivka's womb, Esav was trying to kill Yaacov. As Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai has ruled, the halachah is that Esav hates Yaacov. To further its own interests, America is willing to back us, up to a point. But to let us go all out and destroy Hamas completely, once and for all – "No no no no no!" they shout. Stop! Suddenly they, and everyone else, are worried about "innocent civilians."
Yes, my precious, son, you are fighting to stop the missile fire on our country and to protect fellow Jews. But, as I have previously written, you are fighting for something much more. You are a soldier in the army of Hashem, fighting against the darkness and evil in the world which seeks to snuff out God's light. The nations of Esav and Ishmael know who we are. They know that Israel is God's Chosen Nation, endowed with the Divine task of bringing the truth of God's Kingship to the world.

Kids across North Carolina rejoiced on Wednesday as schools were out and sleds were in after a heavy snowstorm swept across the state.
WNCN meteorologist Alyssa Corfont found children joyfully sledding near N.C. State University and promptly joined in on live TV.
But unfortunately, Corfont's sled veered left and knocked the person to the ground.
Hey, Alyssa is from Pennsylvania - shouldn't she be an expert at this?
Later, she had more success, flowing down the hill with no trouble - and no accidents.
Meanwhile, sledding familiar scene across the state as the snow from Tuesday night left plenty of snow and ice on roads. Kids and parents quickly headed to the hills – well, at least the hilly streets.
Wednesday was also a joyful day for many dogs. In Raleigh's North Hills neighborhood, Dexter, a 1-year-old Great Dane, romped in his first snow as the Guillory family watched him play.
Dogs and puppies around the Triangle ventured into what was the first snow for many, gingerly testing their steps before, in many cases, getting the hang of it.
Many viewers have shared their photos with WNCN, and we welcome more at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter @WNCN.
You can find all the photos here!
Cancelations: Winter in North Carolina means ACC basketball, and as of 11 a.m., the games were still on.
The University of North Carolina is scheduled to play Georgia Tech in frozen Atlanta at 7 p.m. That game, as of Wednesday morning, was scheduled to be played despite the brutal traffic problems in Atlanta.
In the Triangle, Florida State is at N.C. State at 9 p.m. That game remains scheduled to be played, according to the N.C. State website as of late Wednesday morning.
Doors open to the public at the PNC Arena at 7:30 p.m.
Good laugh from WCPSS Twitter feed: One of the most fun Twitter feeds in the Triangle is, of all things, at the Wake County Public School System.
Of course, there were no schools Wednesday, which only sparked the system's sense of humor. Here is what they tweeted out:

Two companies have submitted plans to a northern Indiana city for taking over a deteriorating 128-year-old downtown building.
Elkhart economic development director Barkley Garrett says the proposals for the Elkhart Armory building are being reviewed as officials consider whether to help save it or have it demolished.
Garrett tells The Elkhart Truth that the city's redevelopment commission could pick one of the preservation proposals and give the company more time to work on details.
The building has housed an auto dealership, skating rink and grocery store over the decades but has been vacant for more than two years. Officials are worried about the building's safety after the roof began to collapse over the winter from the weight of snow.
Demolition bids range from about $134,000 to $273,000.

Phil Kyle: Operation Education
By Phil Kyle
I am going to touch base on the subject. All you folks out there allowing your "friends" to "tattoo" you with dodgy equipment and NO EXPERIENCE or PROPER TRAINING need to wake up… along with the folks that are scarring you up! You think they are doing you a favor because they are giving you a shitty tattoo or hepatitis? You think they have an autoclave? Or spray down the area and materials after tattoo with Trigene? Or pay (like I do) for biohazard pick-up every week? Fuck no… They probably have four needles that came with the kit they bought online… What a treat…
Fuck, I was watching Dueling Banjo's video on You Tube the other day and what the fuck do I see? An advert for cheap tattoo equipment right next to the video… 70% off! Free shipping! Plus Free Gift! The whole sha-bang! (It's not a fucking model airplane kit for fucks-sake… You are risking people's health!)
Wow…does that show the hallmark of quality or what? Fuck no… It shows that motherfuckers are scamming on my craft and making people think they can tattoo. Would you buy a brain surgery kit online? Again… fuck no!
I have worked up some examples using some of my own work alongside some of these fucked up tattoos some of you folks are getting. It's just easier for me to use my own work then to ask permission to use other people's work etc… You get the point.
So… if you look at some of these examples and you see these "shittoos" and then next to them what can be done by someone who has served a proper "old school" apprenticeship from someone tattooing for 20 years not two… And has experience in doing cover-ups and fix-ups etc. Not just going in blindly with shitty equipment and hoping for the best when the result is always the same… SHIT.
I cannot fathom how today when there are so many amazing tattooers out there that this is still happening… People buy crap tattoo kits off of the Internet, set up their shit and "tattoo" people they know… The people they know are just as stupid. Kids covered in incredibly shitty outlines and fucked-up completed "tattoos."
And the sad thing it's not just young kids… Fuck, come on "adults" you all should know better! Grown-ups my ass… It's your fucking body for fucks-sake. It's about doing your homework and researching a tattooer that can actually make the tattoo you want… And not settling for this shit on your arm. And saying, "It's not so bad" even though you all know it's SHIT! You just have to live with is so you tell yourself it's okay… Well it's not. Wake up folks!!!
Getting tattooed by your mates in your mom's kitchen is not professional… Getting tattooed in a shop where the in-house "tattooers" have been tattooing for two years with no apprenticeship is not your answer either. And those idiots have "apprentices." How can they teach anyone anything? They can't even wipe their own asses properly. A tattoo shop is not just any tattoo shop. Some are actually out there setting and respecting standards and respecting tattooing and the people they tattoo, to give you the best tattoo you can get.
Go to shops, look at portfolios. A portfolio is important… not just a few photos up on Facebook, the Internet is balls on that aspect. It's a physical book full of tattoos that have been done in the shop. Sit down and have a look. Instead of jumping the gun to get a shitty tattoo that cost you a pack of cigarettes and a 6-pack of beer. Or the classic "I got it for free…" Well, you fucking got ripped-off, because now you have to live with that turd on your arm.
Tattoos are not a trend… They are not some fashion fad… They are forever and are personal. Even if the design means nothing and you simply like the art work, get it done properly! I do so many cover-ups and re-works it's insane. Get the shit done right the first time. Pay the price for a good tattoo or pay the price of having a shitty, free tattoo from some scab-vendor loser fuck-hole tattooing near the refrigerator so they can reach beers while tattooing with bloody gloves on, if they even have gloves… Awesome cross contamination! The choice is obvious isn't it?
If everyone lived by this then all these scratchers (tattooers/assholes) would become extinct like a fucking T-Rex. Do your home work. Get good tattoos and actually be able to say this tattoo is awesome, because it really is, and not just because you are stuck with some other shit tattoo that some poor bastard (like me) has to find ways to cover or fix…
Wake up! It's on you forever! Signing off for now… Think People!

spot on phil. But Ebay does'nt give a fuck about the tattoo industry all they want is money. the government need to step in and make some new laws. As you are fully aware studios do the job properly as it should be, but there are no laws to stop house scratchers doing what they do, ie (where to they get rid of their clinical waste and sharps?)
i have heard stories that they burn their tissues in metal bins in their back gardens and get their smack head mates to get their sharp bins from the NHS, which is costing the tax payer a fucking fortune.
November 24, 2011 at 7:43 AM
I think what everyone needs to do is get on their local councils ass to re write bi laws in every town.
That's what a bunch of us are doing in Brighton.
Pin it down locally before we can move on to Ebay etc..One step at a time and things will happen.,
As its obvious we are all sick of this shit.

Meet my little "Kenyan brother" Kerry. We met while the OCC team was at Agape Children's Ministry in Kisumu, Kenya. Our team got to spend a day meeting and playing with the boys at the center and after about an hour I met this little guy, Kerry, who showed me around the center. Then we went and talked for a while. The story he told me was heartbreaking. His dad had died a long time ago and his mom was in prison. He didn't have anyone to go to and watch over him, which was why he was at Agape.
When I came back the next day to Agape, I brought him a photo of me and my family so that he would have something to remember me by. I gave him one last bear hug then we had to leave.
When we got back to the U.S. I was able to connect with Kate Kjeldgaard on facebook and she was able to send me a message Kerry had written for me (he wrote this just before Agape would be closed for a few weeks for a school break.) This was his message…
"Dear Giselle, We are closing school this Friday…in two days. I am going home to my mother who just got out of prison and I am not ready. When are you coming to see me?
I'm praying for you because God loves you and I love you too. I miss you so I will just keep praying o your family so much. I keep such good care of your photo and store it inside of my school uniform so it stays so nice.
God loves you and me, don't forget it. I LOVE YOU! -Kerry Omondi"
If you want someone to pray for, PLEASE keep Kerry in your prayers! Even after all he has went through he has SO much faith in God and love for others. When we met, I thought I would be the one blessing him.. but he is the one who has truly blessed me <3
