Sir Nicholas Winton is a humanitarian who organized a rescue operation that saved the lives of 669 Jewish Czechoslovakia children from Nazi death camps, and brought them to the safety of Great Britain between the years 1938-1939.
After the war, his efforts remained unknown. But in 1988, Winton's wife Grete found the scrapbook from 1939 with the complete list of children's names and photos. Sir Nicholas Winton is sitting in an audience of Jewish Czechoslovakian people who he saved 50 years before.

Anastasia Nicolaievna was very roguish and almost a wag. She had a very strong sense of humour, and the darts of her wit often found sensitive spots. She was rather an enfant terrible, though this fault tended to correct itself with age. She was also extremely idle, though with the idleness of a gifted child. Her French accent was excellent, and she acted scenes from comedy with remarkable talent.
This incredible underwater city, trapped in time, is 1341 years old. Shicheng, or Lion City, is located in the Zhejiang province in eastern China. It was submerged in 1959 during the construction of the Xin'an River Hydropower Station. The water protects the city from wind and rain erosion, so it has remained sealed underwater in relatively good condition.
Since the olympics are happening…
In 1984, Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympics. Just a decade later, the region was torn apart by a bitter years-long conflict, leading to widespread death and suffering. One not-so-familiar effect of this war was the toll it took on the Olympic infrastructure which had been built not that long…

Before the mid-eighteen hundreds, common belief was that those who suffered from mental illness suffered because they had a "disease of the soul". Their madness supposedly stemmed from an evil within, and they thus were treated as animals. Patients in these early asylums were kept in cages, given small amounts of often unclean food, had little or no clothing, wore no shoes, and slept in dirt. the caretakers became confident that these human beings were in actuality closer to animals.

Relics of various saints.
I love saints.
Me too. Left the Church, kept the communion of saints. Loads of wonderfully weird stories and relics.
I always think the Catholic faith sounds like a shounen anime waiting to happen. I mean that in the best way possible.
Somehow, even lapsed and proudly heretical, I tug at my collar (Button-down, not Roman) when anime and the one, holy, catholic, apostolic Church, mostly due to the Tokugawa shogunate not being such a big fan of the RCC (and by this I mean the closing of the Bamboo Curtain and the mostly complete extermination of Catholicism from Japan for awhile), but if you take the long view, the Church (we could list the atrocities committed in the name of the Church, but let's just leave that for some time when we have a few weeks to relate them all and do a body count) had the last (atomic, cancerous, and by some deemed unnecessary) laugh when the bombing of Hiroshima occurred on August 6th, which, of course, we all know is the Feast of the Transfiguration. But, I'll admit, it's kind of something that only I would think of, because I'm just that weird.
Had to look up shounen, but once I did, and noticed a subset including battle manga…
I thought about doing the history of the Crusades (all of 'em), in flashy shiny anime sparkles, and how that would pretty much kill what is left of my hairy Medievalist soul, but also be something I'd watch early on Sunday morning, in that mythic childhood time right after Dragon Ball-Z and right before…heading to Mass.
If you're worried about the clash of anime and Christianity you're a little late.
I don't care about any of the above comments, I just love how that armored skeleton looks. He looks like he's posing for a photo shoot.
Actually, he might as well have been posing for a photo shoot, as saints go, Saint Pancras really isn't hot shit.
Gertrude Baniszewski (1929 – 1990), also known as Gertrude Wright and The Torture Mother, was an Indiana divorcee who oversaw and facilitated the prolonged torture, mutilation, and eventual murder of Sylvia Likens, a teenage girl she had taken into her home. When she was convicted of first-degree murder in 1965, the case was called "the single worst crime perpetrated against an individual in Indiana's history".
The case has since been subject to numerous fictional and non-fictional adaptations, one of the most recent being An American Crime, featuring Catherine Keener as Gertrude Baniszewski, which will be released nation-wide in mid-2007.
Baniszewski was born Gertrude Van Fossan in 1929, the third of six children. In 1940, Baniszewski watched her father, with whom she was close, die of a sudden heart attack. Five years later, she dropped out of school at the age of 16 to marry 18-year-old deputy John Baniszewski, by whom she had four children. John Baniszewski had a volatile temper; the two stayed together for 10 years before divorcing. Within a year of the divorce, Gertrude Baniszewski met and married a man named Edward Guthrie, who divorced her after three months. Shortly thereafter, Gertrude and John Baniszewski reconciled and re-married. The couple stayed together for seven years and had two more children before finally divorcing permanently in 1963.
Baniszewski, then 37, moved in with a 23-year-old Dennis Lee Wright, who abused her. Their son, Dennis Jr., would be Baniszewski's last child. In all, she had seven children and suffered six miscarriages. Shortly after Dennis Jr.'s birth, Dennis Wright Sr. abandoned Baniszewski and disappeared.
In July 1965, Lester and Betty Likens, who were acquaintances of Baniszewski, suggested that she take their two daughters as boarders - Sylvia Marie Likens, 16, and Sylvia's younger sister, Jenny, 15, who was required to walk with braces due to polio. Lester and Betty were about to embark on the carnival circuit as carnies. Lester agreed to leave the children in Baniszewski's care for $20 a week. At this time, Gertrude's home had no stove and there weren't enough beds or dishes in the house for even half its occupants.
Sylvia and Jenny attended high school and social functions with the Baniszewski children, as well as church with Gertrude on Sunday. When Lester's first $20 payment failed to arrive on time, however, Baniszewski beat the girls. The money arrived the next day. Shortly thereafter the girls were beaten for having candy that their mother accused them of stealing (they had, in fact, bought it.) Thus began a regular pattern of child abuse.
Shortly thereafter, Baniszewski's own children came to Gertrude after a church social and told her that they were disgusted with the amount of food they had seen Sylvia eating. Gertrude forced the girl to eat a hot dog piled with condiments; when Sylvia vomited, Baniszewski forced her to scoop the vomit up and eat it.
In August 1965, Baniszewski overheard Sylvia remark that she had once allowed a boy to feel her up. Baniszewski verbally and physically abused Sylvia. Around this time, Baniszewski also began allowing her older children to use Sylvia as a sort of plaything, with the "games" ranging from beatings to being pushed down the stairs. Baniszewski accused Sylvia of being a prostitute, and delivered bizarre "sermons" to her children and Sylvia about the filthiness of prostitutes and women in general.
Shortly thereafter, Sylvia and Jenny told their classmates that they had seen Paula and Stephanie (Baniszewski's second oldest daughter) having sex with boys in exchange for money. When Stephanie's 15-year-old boyfriend, Coy Hubbard, discovered what Sylvia and Jenny had said, he came to the Baniszewski home and beat Sylvia himself. From then on, Hubbard, with Baniszewski's encouragement, made frequent visits to the Baniszewski home, during which she would instruct the boy to practice his judo on Sylvia. Also around this time, Baniszewski began turning many of Sylvia's classmates against her, encouraging them to beat her up. She also enlisted Ricky Hobbs, a neighborhood boy, to assist her in beating Sylvia.
In August 1965, the vacant house next door to the Baniszewski residence was purchased by a middle-aged couple named Phyllis and Raymond Vermillion. The Vermillions arranged a backyard barbecue so that the two families could get to know one another; while there, she noticed Sylvia wandering around the yard with a black eye, and Paula proudly announced to Phyllis that she was the one who had given it to her. Then, under Baniszewski's supervision, Paula approached Sylvia with a glass of steaming water and threw it in Sylvia's face. Neither of the Vermillions reported this incident to the authorities. She later witnessed Paula beat Sylvia with a belt, but again neglected to report anything to the authorities.
Around this time, Sylvia stole a gym suit from school because Gertrude did not have the money to buy one. Baniszewski found it and beat a confession out of Sylvia and burned the tips of Sylvia's fingers with a lit cigarette. After this incident, the smokers in the Baniszewski home frequently put cigarettes out on Sylvia's body.
Soon after, Baniszewski again accused Sylvia of prostitution. Baniszewski took her into the living room of her home and forced Sylvia to strip naked in front of her sons and several neighborhood boys, on the threat of beating her sister Jenny. Once Sylvia was fully naked, Baniszewski handed her a glass Coca Cola bottle, and forced Sylvia to violently masturbate with it for the boys.
Following the Coke bottle incident, Sylvia became incontinent; as a result, Baniszewski locked her in the basement, which lacked a toilet. Gertrude then began a "bathing regime" to "cleanse" Sylvia, involving dousing her with scalding water and rubbing salt into the burns.
Baniszewski's children turned Sylvia into a money-making opportunity, charging neighborhood children a nickel to gawk at the nude Sylvia or to push her down the stairs to the basement. She was kept constantly naked and rarely fed; often, Baniszewski and her twelve-year-old son John Jr. would make Sylvia eat her own feces.
Sometime around this period, Jenny managed to send contact to her and Sylvia's older sister, Diana, who was married and had a family of her own. Jenny outlined the horrors that she and Sylvia were experiencing, and instructed Diana to contact the police to come rescue them. Diana ignored the letter, believing that Jenny was simply displeased with being punished and that she was making up stories so that she could come live with her.
Shortly thereafter, the Baniszewskis' minister, Roy Julian, visited them; Gertrude complained to him that Sylvia had been an intense burden on her, claiming that the girl was a prostitute who had been servicing married men and had gotten pregnant. Paula Baniszewski was several months pregnant, but Gertrude Baniszewski insisted that her daughter was a virgin and that Sylvia was attempting to pass off her own misdeeds onto Paula.
Shortly after this, Diana came by to visit her sisters. Baniszewski refused to allow her into the home, at first telling her that Lester had contacted her and instructed her not to allow Diana into the home. When Diana questioned this, Baniszewski threatened to call the police and have her arrested for trespassing. Diana hid nearby the house until she spotted Jenny outside, and then approached her. Jenny told her older sister that she was not allowed to talk to her and then ran away.
Concerned, Diana contacted social services. When a social worker arrived at the home, Baniszewski informed her that she had kicked Sylvia out of the house for being physically unclean and a prostitute, and that Sylvia had since run away. Baniszewski then managed to get Jenny alone long enough to inform her that if she told the social worker the truth, Jenny would join her sister naked in the basement. Jenny then told the social worker that Sylvia had indeed run away. The social worker returned to her office, where she filed a report stating that no more calls needed to be made to the Baniszewski home.
On October 21, Baniszewski instructed John Jr., Coy, and Stephanie to bring Sylvia up from the basement and tie her to a bed. The next morning, Baniszewski made her repeat her striptease for her sons and the neighborhood boys, again climaxed by forcing Sylvia to masturbate with a Coca Cola bottle. When Sylvia was finished, she was tied down and gagged while one of Baniszewski's children heated a sewing needle which Gertrude and Ricky Hobbs used to carve the phrase, "I'M A PROSTITUTE AND PROUD OF IT" into Sylvia's stomach.
Satisfied, Baniszewski left the room, leaving Sylvia tied, gagged, and naked. At this point, the children carved an "S" in the middle of her chest.
Later on that night, Baniszewski went into the basement and brought Sylvia upstairs, and allowed her to sleep in one of the beds. She was allowed to sleep until noon the next day, when Baniszewski woke her; once Sylvia was awake, Baniszewski and Stephanie took her into the bathroom and gave her a bath. Baniszewski and Paula then dressed Sylvia, and then dictated a letter to her, intended to look like a runaway letter to her parents.
After Sylvia finished the letter, Baniszewski began formulating a plan to have John Jr. and Jenny take Sylvia to a nearby garbage dump and leave her there to die. When Sylvia overheard this, she ran for the front door, but moved so slowly that Baniszewski was able to grab her just as she reached the front door and drag her back into the house, where she beat her further.
On October 24, Baniszewski came into the basement and attempted to bludgeon Sylvia; first she tried to hit her with a chair, but missed and broke it against the wall. Next she tried to beat her over the head with a paddle, but swung in such a wide arc that it came back against her own face, blacking her eye. Coy Hubbard stepped in and beat Sylvia unconscious with a broomstick.
Over the course of that night, and into the morning hours of October 25, Sylvia beat the basement floor with the scoop portion of an iron shovel. Neighbors would later report considering calling the police, but chose not to.
On October 26, Baniszewski told the children she would give Sylvia a bath. Stephanie and Ricky brought Sylvia upstairs and laid her in the tub fully clothed; they took her out shortly thereafter when they realized she was not breathing. Stephanie gave Sylvia CPR, but by this time, Sylvia was already dead.
Baniszewski told Hobbs to call the police. When they arrived, Baniszewski gave them the letter she'd made Sylvia dictate; in the midst of the commotion, Jenny Likens whispered to one of the police, "Get me out of here and I'll tell you everything." This statement, combined with the police's discovery of Sylvia's body in the basement, prompted the officers to arrest Baniszewski, Paula, Stephanie, John, Hobbs, and Hubbard for murder. Other neighborhood children present at the time - Mike Monroe, Randy Lepper, Duke, and Siscoe - were arrested for "injury to a person."
Baniszewski, her children, Hobbs, and Hubbard were held without bail pending their trials.
An autopsy of Sylvia Likens turned up burns, bruising, and muscle and nerve damage. In her death throes, Sylvia bit through her lips, nearly severing each of them. Her vaginal cavity was nearly swollen shut, although an examination of the canal determined that her hymen was still intact, largely discrediting Baniszewski's assertions that Sylvia was a prostitute and completely disproving her insistence that she was pregnant. The official cause of death was brain swelling, internal hemorrhaging of the brain, and shock.
Baniszewski was found guilty of murder in the first degree. She was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Baniszewski appealed, was granted a new trial, and was again found guilty, though this time she was sentenced to 18 years to life. Over the course of the next 18 years, Baniszewski became a model prisoner, working in the sewing shop and becoming a den-mother to younger female inmates; by the time she came up for parole in 1985, she had earned the prison nickname "Mom."
The news of Baniszewski's parole hearing sent shockwaves through the Indiana community. Jenny Likens and her family appeared on television to speak out against Baniszewski; the members of two anti-crime groups, Protect the Innocent and Society's League Against Molestation, travelled to Indiana to oppose her parole and support the Likens family, beginning a sidewalk picket campaign. Over the course of two months, the groups collected 4500 signatures from the citizens of Indiana demanding that Baniszewski be kept behind bars. In spite of all this, Baniszewski was granted parole. During the hearing, she gave the following confession:"
I'm not sure what role I had in it… because I was on drugs. I never really knew her… I take full responsibility for whatever happened to Sylvia.
Baniszewski walked out of prison on December 4, 1985, and travelled to Iowa; she died there of lung cancer in 1990.
Female Tattoo Artist of the 1910's
Introducing the first known female tattoo artist in America.
Maud Wagner was the first known female tattoo artist in the United States. Little is known about this awesome vintage lady, however according to The New Yorker, Maud traded a date with her husband-to-be Gus Wagner in 1907 for tattoo lessons. Now that's impressive!
North Brother Island — An Abandoned Island in The Middle of NYC
This forgotten isle in the East River between Bronx and Rikers Island, NYC hosts abandoned buildings from the late 19th century including the remains of Riverside Hospital, which quarantined those suffering from infectious diseases. The site also held experimental drug treatments and was a detention home for wayward youth.
The island was uninhabited until 1885, when Riverside Hospital moved there from Blackwell's Island (now known as Roosevelt Island). Riverside Hospital was founded in the 1850s as the Smallpox Hospital to treat and isolate victims of that disease. Its mission eventually expanded to other quarantinable diseases. Typhoid Mary, the first person in the US identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the pathogen associated with typhoid fever, was confined to Riverside Hospital for over two decades until she died there in 1938. The hospital closed shortly thereafter.
The island was the site of the wreck of the General Slocum, a steamship which burned on June 15, 1904. Over 1,000 people died either from the fire on board the ship or from drowning before the ship was beached on the island's shores.
In the 1950s a center opened to treat adolescent drug addicts. The facility claimed to be the first to offer treatment, rehabilitation, and education facilities to young drug offenders. Heroin addicts were confined to this island and locked in a room until they were clean. Many of them believed they were being held against their will (as one person wrote on the wall). By the early 1960s widespread staff corruption and patient recidivism forced the facility to close.
Now a bird sanctuary, the island is currently abandoned and off-limits to the public. Most of the original hospitals' buildings still stand, but are heavily deteriorated and in danger of collapse. A dense forest conceals the ruined hospital buildings, and from the 1980s through the early 2000s it supported one of the area's largest nesting colonies of Black-crowned Night Heron. However as of 2008 this species has abandoned the island for unknown reasons.

Tomorrow I am teaching a portraiture workshop to high school students in conjunction with MOPLA, the Los Angeles Month of Photography. I've been stressing about what exactly to teach these kids; what is possible to learn in a couple hours and what is not. What is the most important component of portraiture I would ideally like to impart to a beginner? I think planting the seed of how to take an iconic, expressive portrait is the way to go. It's easy to lean some pretty girl against a wall, diffuse the light, and take a flattering portrait that says nothing at all about the subject. That has never been my thing. I enjoy unique portraits; portraits that show me something I haven't seen a million times before. I like when pictures of people tell a story, and that story can be really simple or more complex. It all comes down to the storyteller's point of view and whether he or she is beating you over the head with a concept or merely leading you down an interesting path.
Simultaneously, I am prepping for an upcoming shoot with one of my current favorite comediennes which is exciting. I love shooting funny, smart ladies. I have been doing my normal research for the shoot with her which involves brainstorming on the internet, trying to come up with something that makes sense, but isn't cliché. I keep coming back to Sam Jones' work as a great example of someone who does humorous and clever portraits. There is a true art to capturing humor in a still photograph. It's not easy, even when you're shooting someone really super funny. The idea has to communicate only visually what it would normally communicate with the additions of sound effects, music, or a series of actions that end in a punch line. It takes a good sense of humor (and by that I mean a sense of what is humorous) on the part of the photographer in order to know what needs to happen in this one single image to carry the joke through to completion. I've admired Sam Jones' work for a long time now. That picture of Steve Martin was taken ten years ago and, to me, still holds up as a great picture. It's a classic joke presented in an interesting way. Just goes to show you that big budgets and fancy lighting and whatnot is cool, but one simple, great idea can make for a really iconic portrait.

Welcome to MileMesh
Hoboken's Community Wifi & Safety Network
MileMesh = a mesh network for the mile square city. In the week after Hurricane Sandy we all experienced hardship and leaned on each other for help. FEMA, PSE&G and other institutions eventually reached the city to restore basic services. But our telecommunications companies were overwhelmed and unable to respond effectively in the face of unprecedented infrastructure failures. As a result, Hoboken residents and businesses had a very difficult time communicating with each other, with our local government, and with friends and family outside our community. We can't let Hoboken go off the grid like this again. And we can't wait for Verizon or Cablevision to harden their systems. Despite repeated calls from Congress and the Federal Communications Commission, the telecommunications industry is resisting new requirements for backup power for cell sites and other critical communications facilities. We have to fix this problem ourselves so that our community is prepared for the next big crisis. A new technology called mesh wireless networking offers a fast, relatively inexpensive way to quickly build an open, free, redundant local network in Hoboken. It has been tested in Brooklyn where it proved highly resilient and provided lifeline Internet service to hundreds of people despite extensive flooding similar to what we saw here. We think it can work here too. We are an volunteer group of entrepreneurs, technologists and community activists who want to launch a barn-raising style effort to build a mesh network here in Hoboken.
Volunteer To Host A Mesh Node
Good for residential use. No internet needed (though upgrading to commericial internet service is a very inexpensive way to contribute to the network).
Cost = ~$75
Volunteer a residence or business location where we can install small equipment. We are most interested in locating wireless equipment: in windows or on balconies of high-floor apartments and condos on rooftops of buildings of any size in windows or on balconies of low- to mid-floor apartments and condos overlooking public parks, plazas, and the waterfront. With access to these sites, we can build both a local network that lets us link up different parts of Hoboken on a common backbone, as well as public Wi-Fi hotspots in key public spaces. If you choose to participate, we will configure and install the equipment (an 8 inch by 3 inch antenna) for your location. The cost of this equipment is your only financial contribution to the project and is expected to be less than $100.
Volunteer to Host An Internet Connected Mesh Node
Good for those with commercial-grade internet connections.
Cost = Approx $75 + BYO-internet
Volunteer a resident or business location willing to allow us to connect the mesh to business-grade internet connections. One local business has generously agreed to allow us to connect back to the Internet over their existing service, but we will need other connections back to the grid. These must be business-class lines, however. Currently, Verizon and Cablevision do not permit sharing of residential connections.
Volunteer to Host a Solar Powered Mesh Node
Good for rooftops
Cost = Approx $500
Volunteer a resident or business location willing to experiment with a solar-powered site that will stay on even in a blackout. There is a considerable extra expense, but it is a crucial part of the project's long-term vision.

The Simple Reason Why Goodreads Is So Valuable to AmazonA small fraction of Americans buy the vast majority of books in this country.

Update: Keeping It Heel has been informed by a source in attendance that Hairston did not in fact play in the charity game (unlike reported from WRAL) and served in a coaching role.
Less than a week after being suspended by Coach Roy Williams from the University of North Carolina basketball team, PJ Hairston took to the court to play the game he loves.
Last night Hairston played in a local charity basketball game in his hometown of Greensboro. The game was a charity for raising money in memory of a pregnant woman and her son who were killed in a Memorial Day weekend boating accident.
Former teammates and UNC Alumni Kendall Marshall and Reggie Bullock also participated in the event Friday.
Hairston has spent most of the summer in the negative news highlight reel. First he was arrested for possession of marijuana and driving without a license. Those charges were dropped eventually. Then questions began to pop up about his relationships Hadyn "Fats" Thomas. After the charges were dropped, it began to look positive for Hairston that he would play this season.
The final straw was last Sunday when he was pulled over for reckless driving. Hairston was going nearly thirty miles per hour over the legal speed limit.
Just hours after his citation the school announced that Hairston was indefinitely suspended from the basketball program. He still remains on scholarship at the university.

Gutting Social Security: It Isn't Just an Issue for Old Folks
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
For most teens and twentysomethings, the raging debate in Washington over Social Security reform probably seems as relevant and engaging as PBS's Friday night lineup of Antiques Roadshow and Jerry Lewis: Live from Las Vegas.
But the proposals on the table could be seriously bad news for young people planning to enter the workforce in coming years.
President Obama has offered to break the sequester gridlock by recalculating inflation in a way that would reduce Social Security benefits. The Business Roundtable, a club of hundreds of large company CEOs, likes Obama's idea but wants to go even more draconian by also increasing the Social Security retirement age from 67 to 70.
What does any of this have to do with the youngsters? Both of these moves will keep seniors working longer. That means fewer job opportunities for younger workers coming behind.
Americans already work longer than those in other advanced economies. Nearly 30 percent of those in the 65-69 age group in this country continue to work (versus the OECD average of 18.5 percent), up from 24 percent a decade ago. That percentage will likely rise if Social Security is cut further.
Of course none of this matters much to those who are pushing hardest for Social Security cuts. In a new report I co-authored at the Institute for Policy Studies, "Inequality in Social Security Debate," we analyze the retirement situation for CEOs of two health industry firms that are members of two corporate lobby groups are pushing for benefits cuts -- the Business Roundtable and the "Fix the Debt" campaign.
The two CEOs, Larry Merlo of CVS Caremark and Stephen Hemsley of UnitedHealth Group, each have gilded corporate retirement funds that would deliver them $263,169 and $104,671 respectively each month starting at age 65 and continuing for the rest of their lives. For them, Social Security is a miniscule portion of their expected retirement income. In fact, if both of the proposed benefit reductions explained above go into effect, Merlo would stand to lose only 0.3 percent of his retirement income and Hemsley would lose only 0.7 percent.
To illustrate the extreme inequality in the debate, we analyzed how the same reforms would affect someone at the bottom of the health care industry. Rhonda Straw, a home health aide from Pennsylvania, agreed to share with us her personal financial information.
Her job involves administering medications, checking vital signs and communicating with other members of the health care team about patients' conditions. She works hard and loves her job, but finds it hard to live on the $9-an-hour her 40-hour a week job provides. Unlike the two corporate CEOs, she has no company retirement plan and finds it impossible to save for her retirement after paying for all her other bills. She has $475 in her 401(k), which if converted to an annuity at age 65 would provide her a check for $2 each month for the rest of her life.
Rhonda Straw will be completely dependent on Social Security when she retires. As a result, she stands to lose a much larger share of her expected retirement income from the proposed cutbacks. Whereas the two CEOs' loss would be negligible, Straw would likely lose nearly 16 percent of her benefits.
Straw is not alone in her reliance on Social Security. Half of American workers have no retirement plan other than Social Security, according to Census Bureau data. The Social Security Administration estimates that 23 percent of elderly married couples and 46 percent of elderly unmarried recipients receive more than 90 percent of their monthly income from Social Security.

While the team was on the ice preparing for the New York Rangers, the Flyers front office was busy securing two major pieces to the future of the team's defensive core. First, the Flyers announced the signing of Andrew MacDonald, whom the team acquired from the Islanders toward the trade deadline, to a six-year/$30 million extension. A few hours later, days after winning an NCAA National Championship, Union College defenseman and Flyers draft pick Shayne Gostisbehere signed his entry-level deal with the team and foregoing his senior season.
BREAKING: The #Flyers have signed D Andrew MacDonald to multi-year contract extension. More: http://t.co/c9wCEu3ydlpic.twitter.com/gDPfGkNB1B

BREAKING: #Flyers have signed D Shayne Gostisbehere to an entry-level contract. More details: http://t.co/MUMNsTyhFxpic.twitter.com/D97487tUf7
— Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) April 15, 2014
MacDonald, 27, and Gostisbehere, 20, figure to represent a substantial chunk of the Flyers future along the blue line figuring things go according to plan. The former New York Islander has taken on a substantial role since joining the Flyers. Alongside Luke Schenn as well as fellow former Islander Mark Streit on the team's second power play unit, MacDonald has collected four assists and is a -3 in 19 games with the Orange and Black. He averages 22:59 on the ice a game and is the NHL's leading shot-blocker, with 242 on the campaign. Though not a dynamic offensive presence, MacDonald's ability to get in the way of shots to go along with his high-end skating ability have brought more mobility to a unit in desperate need of it. One has to figure, with the amount of time he has spent on the ice in the waning portions of the season, MacDonald will see as much, if not more with the playoffs set to get underway.
Gostisbehere was in Philadelphia this past weekend leading his Union team to its first-ever National Championship on ice hockey. He was named the Frozen Four's Most Outstanding Player and his stat line from the National Championship game (goal, two assists, and +7) almost did not even do justice to how superior the Florida native was compared to the everyone else on the ice. He will join the Adirondack Phantoms for the remainder of the AHL season and then most-likely join the Flyers at practice until the end of their playoff run. Unfortunately, since Gostisbehere did not sign before the end of the NHL season, he will be unable to join the team in any competitive role this postseason. He will, however, get a taste of life as a professional if he can join the team, along with a few other Phantoms players, at practice. He will most likely have a chance to make the team at the start of next season.
The Hobey Baker finalist, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2012 Entry Draft, possesses a dazzling combination of skating ability, nimble hands, innate hockey IQ, and an 'it' factor that has been praised in hockey's most esteemed circles. It will be very interesting to see how the Flyers bring along a truly unique talent like Gostisbehere.

Hottie or Nottie?: James McFadden
Well, James McFadden may be the colour of day-old mayonnaise, but that's nothing a few months' intensive St. Tropez application won't cure.
Plus, the Scottish accent is sexy.
Still. Mayonnaise legs… never good on any occasion.
We can't decide and so we must put it to our people:
Is Everton's James McFadden a hottie or nottie?

Here are some of the latest health and medical news
developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Former NFL Players Sue League Over Use of Pain Drug
A dozen former professional football players have launched a
lawsuit accusing the NFL and its teams of repeatedly giving them
the painkiller Toradol before and during games, making it more
difficult for the players to recognize when they'd suffered a
The 12 retired players played in the late 1990s and early 2000s
and say they now experience short-term memory loss, anxiety,
depression, sleeping problems, severe headaches, and dizziness,
The New York Times reported.
"The plaintiffs have described the situation as one of being in a pregame locker room with players lining up to receive injections of Toradol in a 'cattle call' with no warnings of any sort being given, no distinguishing between different medical conditions of the players, and regardless of whether the player had an injury of any kind," according to the lawsuit filed in United States District Court in New Jersey.
The NFL challenged the suits' claims.
"The NFL has long made player safety a priority and continues to do so," league spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement, the Times reported. "Any allegation that the NFL intentionally
sought to mislead players has no merit. It stands in contrast to
the league's actions to better protect players and advance the
science and medical understanding of the management and treatment
of concussions."
Stronger Graduated License Laws Could Save Lives: Report
More than 2,000 road deaths could be prevented each year in the
United States if every state established comprehensive graduated
driver licensing (GDL) laws for teens, a new report says.
All states have some form of GDL but only two states, New York
and Delaware, have programs that contain all seven components that
make the programs most effective, according to John Ulczycki of the
National Safety Council,
USA Today reported.
The NSC researched the issue for the Allstate Foundation.
Congress is currently preparing to consider a multiyear highway
and transit spending bill and proponents of GDL laws are lobbying
lawmakers to include about $25 million a year in incentives for
states to strengthen GDL programs,
USA Today reported.
Japanese Baby Formula Recalled Due to Radiation
A Japanese company has recalled baby formula after traces of
radiation were detected in the products.
Meiji Co. said the recall of canned powdered milk for infants
was a precaution, and the amounts of radioactive cesium were well
below government safety limits and would not harm babies' health
even if they drank the formula every day, the
Associated Press reported.
Since the meltdown earlier this year of three reactors at the
Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in northern Japan, radiation has
been detected in a number of foods, such as fish, beef and rice.
But this is the first report of radiation in baby formula.
Meiji Co. said airborne radioactive cesium contaminated milk as
it was being dried at a plant in March, according to
Kyodo News, the
AP reported.

At the beginning of 2011, we began to see articles coming across the newswire from film festivals mentioning how faith was going to be a trending topic in movies this year. And indeed, two of the films in our Top 10—Of Gods and Men and TheTree of Life—are very much about belief, the first in a much more concrete way, the second via the more abstract. Furthermore, in The Help one will find scenes of biblical preaching and church community, and in Hugo there are several meaningful quotes about our purpose in this world that will ring true to a Christian ear. But the faith-in-film train made several other stops along the way this past year, and we would be remiss not to make some mention of them.
First, there were the ones you heard of, the ones you may have seen, the ones that were the most up-front about Christianity, beginning with Courageous. For some Crosswalk readers, this may have been the only film you saw in theaters this year. And you sure let us know how disappointed you were that we didn't give it our most glowing review. But the Sherwood Pictures folks have improved with every new installment, and we wholeheartedly appreciate that cinematic art is being produced by Christians, whether it grabbed us personally or not. Beyond Courageous, Soul Surfer, Machine Gun Preacher and There Be Dragons were all based on three very different testimonies of three very different believers.
Then there were the ones you may have missed, that either passed so quietly or were independent films that didn't receive a lot of fanfare, but which still dealt with faith in one way or another. In The Way, Martin Sheen plays the role of a father who is finishing the job of walking "The Way of Saint James" in Europe for his departed son. Eternal lessons of life and a faith journey are at the heart of the golf-centric movie Seven Days in Utopia. Tyrannosaur features an unemployed, angry widower with a drinking problem who meets a Christian worker at a charity shop, a respectable, wholesome woman who seems to be his guardian angel. Martha Marcy May Marlene is a psychological thriller about a woman trying to live a normal life after fleeing a cult. And Salvation Boulevard, starring Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear, is a satire about a charming evangelical preacher in a small Western town who, sadly, may have ulterior motives (fittingly, this last entry received the worst reviews by far of all the films in this paragraph).
Not every film about faith is worth seeing, but when faith is present in a film it both sparks conversations and is there because conversations are already happening. Here's hoping we see more of it in 2012.
Find out what Crosswalk editors and film critics picked as our Top 10 Movies of 2011

morning folks
i'll detail it a bit better now ive had a bit of sleep. ive added the position of the cards in the image.
along the bottom of the mobo are the power/oc buttons but these only raise above the pci-e slot by about 1mm which the gpu clears. there are also the headers fro usb/fan and front panel which i thought was stoppping them so i disconnected the fan and usb which seemed like it helped but it did'nt seem like the card had gone fully into the slot. it was bloody hard to get out tho.
the first card sits right ontop of the sata ports so i thought the asmedia sata port maybe in the way but that is'nt as high as the main sata's there's not enough room to get down and flick the pci-e slot lock into place either.
|My System Specs

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
I don't know what to suggest bud, you would think with that mobo you could fit any 2 cards on it.
Have you got any further with it since your post this morning?
|My System Specs
|08 Oct 2012
I agree Ryan, can you take some detailed pics of the cards when you try to fit them?
|My System Specs
|08 Oct 2012
ello chaps
not tried again yet, aching from yesterday lol but will have another look 2moz. the only thing it can be really is the front panel connectors and ive already took the quick connector off. so the can't get any lower. the asmedia sata port is clear as it's not being used and it isn't anymore raised than the main sata ports which the first card sits on. the only other thing it could possibly be is one of the usb headers.
i''ll have another crack 2moz and get some pics while im at it.
an online friend had the similar problem with his asus gtx560's and the same mobo but had just enough room. his bottom card covered half of the onboard power/oc buttons.
i am inpressed with the single card tho. it runs nice n cool and frame rates in some games have doubled. i just hope i get to sli em
edit: not gonna be able to do while taking pics untill the afternoon as my daughter is taking the camera on a school trip but will sort it as soon as she's bk
|My System Specs

Well that's it you'll just have to send these back and get the water block versions and go full water cooled that way they can be side by side.
|My System Specs
|09 Oct 2012
slight problem with that lol,
1 i can't afford too go water
2 if they were 2 slot cards i could sli 3 of em
3 cant really send em bk unless they're faulty as i would have to ship them out of the country so they could be returned. (i did'nt buy them)
gonna have a look today in some proppa light and take some pics while at it. may shed some more light on the problem.
if it does'nt go in tho i'll just have to stick with one. thats not a bad thing tho as these cards jump all over my 6950's performance
|My System Specs
|09 Oct 2012
Ryan, I hate to say it but, you'll just have to send me the spare 670 card.
|My System Specs
|09 Oct 2012
oh yeah thats a cracking plan
it may end up dremel'd
|My System Specs
|09 Oct 2012
64bit Windows 7 Ultimate
Ryan, Asus has made adjustments for thos extra thic cards, I noticed on mine with the air cooled cards the main problem was those easy connecter clips, but, they did fit in the end even if it was in slots 1 and 4. Also you can always buy aftermarket air coolers that are thinner then the ones installed, they aren't nearly as expensive as waterblocks, and are still thinner. So before you go and discard a great card, try...."tweeking" it a bit
|My System Specs
|09 Oct 2012
ello chap.
yeah i removed the quick connector as soon as i saw it would be in the way. my daughter will be home soon and it will still be daylight so i'll get in and have another crack at it. will be able to take some pics too then so may see better in the pics enit. i managed to get the card pretty much in place bar about 1mm so its got 2 be able to fit. i can't use slot 4 as the space between the slot and my psu is not quite enough either lol. i'll suss somethin tho

Oct 25, 2010First off: If you're worried about the roster....and if you don't know these fighters... get to know them! They're some of the baddest on the planet no matter what Zuffa/UFC/Dana White claim. This game murders the UFC game... which I liked. Can't believe EA may already be considering not continuing the series because it's so darn satisfying. The play is fun, fluid, and rewarding. The career mode is a blast (can feel a little easy at first, but just up the difficulty once you get the hang of it). Online Live Event play is a blast with friends. Its just a freakin fun game. And… Full Review »

At Uncle Bob's, we survey our customers at multiple points during their stay to be sure they are completely satisfied with our storage service.
Over 15,000 responses later, we learned that 9 out of 10 customers would recommend us to friends and family. We can think of no greater honor. Thank you for putting your trust in us!
From Francine, Hawthorne, NJ
October 18, 2014
I am very satisfied with Uncle Bob's. From the first day it was easy to do this and the office couldn't be more helpful when I needed to ask questions, etc. I definitely would recommend Uncle Bob's to anyone who needs storage. Happy that I made the best selection. Your staff is friendly, considerate and again, so very helpful!!!
From David, Arlington, TX
October 12, 2014
At the location which my two storage's are on Lamar blvd in Arlington, Texas the manager Michael is absolutely marvelous in customer service and diligent in satisfying every need the customer has. I am extremely pleased with his services and will continue to remain a customer at this storage facility.

The manager at the Wayne, NJ location has gone above and beyond to help me. I can't say enough good things about Tatiana.
From Cynthia, Gastonia, NC
September 27, 2014
I have been storing things here for quite some time ...and I have to say it is the BEST experience I could have. Having to take a unit in the first place was not my intent....but my personal situation I didn't have a choice...it was very stressful for me...but the people here have ALWAYS been understanding and helpful. They made a very bad situation more bearable....so when I found myself once again needing a space...there was no other choice in my book....and though the unit is actually a distance from where I moved....the people at this particular location is why I returned.
From Erieka, Columbus, OH
September 24, 2014
I didn't expect the associate to be so helpful and knowledgable. Or for the storage to be super clean. I felt like the company genuinely does care about the customers stored items as well as the customers in general.
From Norman, Miami Beach, FL
September 24, 2014
It is a very clean and perfectly maintained storage facility, offering secure storage with easy access in a convenient location. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and always helpful. I am always greeted with a smile and any questions or concerns are answered. I would recommend Uncle Bob's in Topsham, Maine to anyone without hesitation!
From Stacy, Largo, FL
September 23, 2014
The best place ever to go if u need any type of storage. They went above n beyond my expectations. Would definitely use them again if I needed to. Thanks for everything you did
From MELINDA, DALLAS, TX
September 23, 2014
This is an excellent facility with great people. They always were responsive to my inquiries and needs. I was not expecting to receive such great service. They are to be commended. I would recommend this storage property to all.

September 23, 2014
Julie is so kind! She helped daughter back in May with her move in and the paperwork, as I could not be there due to a conflict with family Memorial. She also was very helpful with the move out over the weekend of Sept. 12. Thank you Julie, you are so nice, and my daughter thinks so too!

September 18, 2014
I'm am extremely impressed with the Decatur building. The customer service is outstanding. From day one, Nelson took a lot of time with me to make sure he could help me out in any way. He really went above and beyond! I would most definitely recommend Uncle Bob's Decatur to anyone! I am happy to be a customer! Thanks to Nelson and Frank for all of the help!
From Chandra, Decatur, GA
September 17, 2014
Ms.Bianca was very helpful and very concerned with my needs for storing my things at your facility. She is an asset to the company a wonderful personality and a caring heart. I came in and was very upset about my situation. Bianca lifted my spirits and assured me that my things would be safe and secure. Bianca is a wonderful person and you should be proud to have her as an employee.
From Ayite, Richardson, TX

Everyone is helpful and understanding. I recommend you guys any time I find someone mentioning needing storage.

Venita is amazing! It's always great seeing her. Always professional and efficient, but approachable. She definitely has skills that exceed her current placement. I'd give her a promotion or have her run the business! Kudos to Venita!
From Laura, Middleburg, FL
September 11, 2014
The place was so clean and so different from any space I had been. It felt like a hotel for my furniture! And the convenience of the lobby and a covered area to keep us out of the rain. Just excellent.
From Cathie, Standish, ME
September 10, 2014
Pam was incredibly nice and helpful. She really made us feel like we were important to her, and that she wanted to help us in any way possible.
From Linda, Palm Coast, FL
September 7, 2014
Uncle Bob's was very clean and the storage unit has worked out well for us. They had it ready for us within one day of calling to see if they had a unit available. It was great. Thanks
From Michael, Chicago, IL
September 7, 2014
I was unsure if the space I had would be large enough when we were moving in on a holiday so the associate, Dave, by phone provided me with overflow space next to the one I was renting. He understood perfectly what I needed and how to solve my problem.

Robin Williams and The Liturgy
The death of Robin Williams has really messed with me. It's just so profoundly sad and heartbreaking. But while re-watching many of his interviews and movies, one scene keeps playing in my mind, reminding me of the power of slowly repeating the Truth in love. Remember the famous "It's not your fault" scene from Good Will Hunting? (Watch it here)
This brilliant scene is profound at a number of levels, but lately it's been reminding me that we all need to hear the Truth more than once. Slowly, firmly, and with great compassion. Over and over. Reality takes time to seep through our defenses and distractions, and we can't always hear the beauty of Grace when she first begins whispering.
So as a worship leader, this raises a number of questions…
(1) If most of us need to hear the gentle truth repeated over and over, why do I spend so much time pursing innovation in worship and creative ways to reimagine our liturgy? Why are we so quick to add video content, moving lights, and production value to keep things fresh?
(2) If God often speaks in an easily missed, gentle whisper, why are many of my worship sets so loud? It's pretty hard to hear a whisper at 110 dbs.
(3) Am I more afraid that people will be bored, or more afraid that I will add to the distraction?
(4) Do my worship liturgies create space for people to hear God whispering over and over, or do I give people one more entertaining opportunity to miss God's voice?
(5) At the core, is my faith in God or in my ability to lead people to God?
These are easy questions to ask and impossible questions to perfectly answer. But we need to wrestle with them. I certainly do! Which is why the Liturgy continues to capture and mess with me. We gather together to tell the Big Story…over and over, over and over, over and over…until it finally begins to sink in. Slowly and deeply. And in these holy moments, the beautiful Truth God has been graciously whispering to us since the beginning of eternity sneaks past our defenses and into the cracks of our aching hearts. Hallelujah. Thanks be to God. Amen.
May we all learn to have ears to hear what God keeps whispering.
