Bitter Premier League rivals Newcastle and Sunderland have joined forces, in the face of local police's refusal to alter a kick-off time.
The Tyne-Wear derby is set to take place at Newcastle's St James' Park on February 1 at 12.45pm local time, however both clubs would prefer a start of 3pm or later in order to maximise ratings for broadcast.
Northumbria Police released a statement claiming they had no control over when Premier League fixtures started but a joint statement from the North-East rivals slammed the claims as 'false and absurd'.
"Over a number of years both clubs have made repeated representations to Northumbria Police to try and reach agreement over kick-off times to enable a traditional 3:00pm kick off or later to enable broadcasters to give the game consideration in the majority of their time slots for live coverage," the clubs' response read.
"In recent years Northumbria Police have rejected every request made by the clubs for later kick-off slots including Saturday 5:30pm, Sunday 4:00pm and Monday 8:00pm.
"For Northumbria Police therefore to issue a statement stating that they do not direct changes to kick-off times is quite frankly false and absurd.
"In light of Northumbria Police's latest statement, Newcastle United and Sunderland AFC will now inform the Premier League that all future fixtures between the two clubs will be available for kick-off times to suit the clubs, the League and their broadcast partners, if applicable, and will expect Northumbria Police to police these games, especially given the considerable costs both clubs incur for such special police services."

Have you been here long? | A Nest for All Seasons BIOPin It
I am Amy Renea and this is my blog! Welcome! My blog is a a one stop shop for the modern dilettante (the Modillys!!) interested in DIY home design, garden, food and photography tips and tricks. When I am not blogging or chasing my three crazy boys around, I am a professional photographer shooting primarily weddings and commercial clients. I absolutely love what I do and can only hope to simply keep on keeping on!
I use photography to tell stories on my site. One of my favorite stories to tell is the whisper of the garden. I know gardening is kind of out of vogue, but I feel closest to God, closest to myself and calmer than ever when I am working or just resting in the garden. It is my therapy, my creative outlet, my inspiration and I have embarked on a journey to convince all you girls that love Pottery Barn and adore babies, that gardening really is just the next step.
If you get tired of reading about home and garden, you can skip over to the food or photography sections. Most of my posts on food and photography are full on tutorials or photojournals, and I love to feature guest posts, so shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in sharing!
I am a big supporter of new photographers and moms learning how to take beautiful photos of their children, so if you are an official MWAC, you might want to read THIS! If you are new to photography I hope you peek at a couple posts and I even have FREE TEXTURES you can download!
One of my most popular photography posts was a simple how to on creating bokeh. Prepare for the holidays early by checking out how to make this effect!

Limbaugh's Advertiser Exodus Expands Exponentially
Radio-Info.com reported [1] on Friday that 98 advertisers have told Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates Rush Limbaugh's radio show, that they want to avoid advertising [2] on Limbaugh's show and other programs with content "deemed to be offensive or controversial":
The list includes carmakers (Ford, GM, Toyota), insurance companies (Allstate, Geico, Prudential, State Farm) and restaurants (McDonald's, Subway).
The advertisers were reportedly included in a Premiere memo circulated to radio station traffic managers and obtained by Radio-Info.com [1], laying out the growing reach of the advertiser exodus, which has now ensnared other controversial radio hosts:
They've specifically asked that you schedule their commercials in dayparts or programs free of content that you know are deemed to be offensive or controversial (for example, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity). Those are defined as environments likely to stir negative sentiment from a very small percentage of the listening public.
Advertisers have dropped [3] their ads from Limbaugh's show in the wake of his misogynistic attacks [4] on Sandra Fluke. The online feed at WABC, Limbaugh's flagship station, has increasingly turned [5] to free public service announcements during Limbaugh's show.

Discussion in 'Artwork Zone' started by Madzo, Sep 29, 2004.
I'm requesting some Henson Michigan highlights, anybody have any or provide me with a link?
any clips of henson in college...i wanna see how good he plays.
Yea....Since we really didn't see him this year.
You guys should have caught ESPN Classic's showing of the 2000 Michigan vs Purdue game...Henson vs. Brees. They played it a few months ago, only reason I knew about it was from people posting on here that it was gonna be on. Both QBs played awesome in this game. Purdue pulled out the game by one point.
Henson was 26 of 35 256 3tds 0ints.
So you think he is the future? I hope he is and I think he will be as well.
Of course he is. If he were as bad as the Chicken Little reports Dallas would be talking about what QBs they could get, not about sending Romo to Europe and re-signing Vinny for 1 more year.
Anyone who watched Henson more than just a game or two in Michigan, unless they hate Michigan, mostly will vouch that Henson will be future.
I have thought that since day one, nothing has made me change the my mind yet. He reminding me of Aikman even during his Michigan days, just a lot more athletic Aikman though.
Despite the whining on the board, there is *no* way we sit with ~$25M of available cap room and two #1's and don't address the unanswered questions about the single most important position on the team. Not with Jerry Jones running the show, and not with Parcells. No way.
My guess: Henson *is* the answer. I love what I've seen from him, in training camp, and in the games. Shave a 1/2 second off of his blitz recognition, and we'll have picked up the QB and the RB for the next set of SuperBowl runs in last year's off season.
Throw in whatever we get for the extra #1, and then we can hear you ladies talk about what a genius Parcells was this last off season, and about how you knew it all along.
I say..."Nail Hit On Head"! You nailed it pardner!! :skins:
This is what I like to see. Some Henson support. There are so many doubters and Rivers people on my board that it's pissen me off.
I remember watching Henson about 3 times and I don't remember much about him because I was paying attention to the A - Train and Terrell. I remember he could distribute the ball very well. I just wish we could've seen him get more reps this year.
Then this should be your board. Problem solved.
Parcells thinks Henson is a clown.
Hey banned...two things..
1) What makes you think that?
2) It the Saloon is a cat house, shouldn't there be somethin' going on upstairs?
Here is something to ponder. If Henson had gotten significant playing time what incentives clauses would have been voided? I am no Chad supporter but didn't playing Chad early hasten our evaluation of him? As I recall he was able to void two years off of his contract. I am glad we didn't rush Henson to the fray for financial and long-term development reasons. Let him get his legs under him first and when it is his time he will shine.
So far the league has only one guy (That I know of) who took time off from the game and came back to be successful in the league...Staubach (And most who've tried played baseball first, then went to college football). Kurt Warner could be considered as well but he was at least playing in the AFL before joining the Rams, even then St. Louis was panicking when Green got hurt and Warner took over.
Henson has played 9 games since High school, I hope he's the future because it'll benefit our team. However, if the hatred angers you, imagine how those of us who are doubters feel whenever we see dudes claim "He's HOF easily, he'll be better than Aikman/Staubauch", etc. People tend to forget if he was that good Houston would have traded him for better than a third round pick, a pick many imagined was going to be a late third round pick...
He played in more than 20 Odd Games and only started 9 games since High school. Maybe we should make that a Sticky!
Second, Henson held Houston by his Whim. He could have gone to draft if didn't like the deal, and Houston would not have anything to show for then. Maybe you should read up more on it, when JJT posted that article or other articles mentioning Rams, Bills, even Miami etc were interested and that Henson was only interested in Cowboys.
Many Mock drafts had Henson as late First round in 2004 and everyone had him going at least in Second round. I guess Houston got stupid and traded him for 3rd rounder eventhough he was rated as high as late first round in 2004 draft in many circles or atleast 2nd round.
I'm with you too. I'm willing to give the guy a chance and all this spew about Dallas going after another QB is just vomit on the sidewalk. My gut tells me that BP and JJ like him and think he has the tools to be the future. Yeah, it's "speculation", but so are all of the other voices out there.
Just like Chad Hutchinson was a supposed mid-first rounder as well?? Sorry, I don't buy Henson being a first or second round pick had he been in the draft, no team would be stupid enough to invest that much in an unknown.
And going with the time off, how many players have you seen knock off the rust and played in the league, and played well. 4 year starters have a hard enough time getting in, we've got a guy who hasn't held a football in over 3 1/2 years.
When we signed Henson I was one of the few who openly griped about the pick, only reason I've accepted it was because I figured it would be a late third rounder and those are usually gambles. However I've never been one to have him play this year, but wouldn't you know it - as soon as Henson was signed we had guys proclaiming "He'll start game one." Like I mentioned, I hope I'm wrong in doubting him, but history has taught me not to get too optimistic about this, and should Henson fail, I'll send an e-mail to Valley Ranch with the following words: "Stop screwing around with 24 year old failed baseball players and grab a QB the proper way!!!!"
For all the Rivers lovers out there I pose this question? What has he done in the NFL? He has played even less than Drew. He held out so he didn't even have training camp. He has bad mechanics and a suspect arm. Why are we even considering trying to get him when his development is even further behind (for our system) than Drew?

Whites we like: Decorators White #04, White Dove #06, Linen White #72 (all by Benjamin Moore)
2. Give a Lift
Make the ceilings above your porch or living spaces seem higher with a hint of ocean blue. Remember, a little color goes a long way. The effect is not meant to be dramatic, so choose a delicate shade.
Best blues: Homestead Resort Spa Aqua #5004-5A by Valspar (available at Lowes), and Brighton Beach #108-E by Ace Paint.
3. From the Ground Up
Paint wooden floors. The result is whimsical and fun, especially on porches or in kitchens. Paint floors solid, stripe them, or create a seaside mural underfoot, with faux sand, shells, and coral.
Designer tip: For durability, use interior/exterior porch and floor enamel. Cover murals with clear polyurethane.
4. Add Texture
Bring the outside in at a relatively low cost with natural floor coverings, such as sisal, sea grass, jute, or bamboo. They all make great area rugs, and sea grass and sisal can be applied wall-to-wall or as stair runners.
Find it fast: potterybarn.com, naturalarearugs.com, curranfloor.com
5. Create Shade
Replace formal sheers or metal blinds with woven, bamboo, or linen shades to lend a casual feel to any room. Roman shades are inexpensive and fold up to let in loads of natural light.
Go to the source: target.com, smithandnoble.com, theshadestore.com
6. Give New Life to Furniture
Paint salvaged pieces an unexpected color. For inspiration, think of a summer icon, such as a beach umbrella or even a swimsuit. Look curbside or check out local garage sales for finds you can reinvent. And remember: Imperfections lend character.
* Our favorites: Mountain View #583 (cool ocean hue), Marmalade #2016-40 (vivid sunset), Light Yellow #2022-60 (warm summer sunshine), Hibiscus #2027-50 (our favorite mixed drink), Light Blue #2066-70 (clear skies), Frosted Petal #2089-70 (shade of fresh flowers), all by Benjamin Moore
7. Cover Up
Slipcover furniture to bring a lighthearted, beachy feel to any room. Fabrics can be changed with the seasons and easily cleaned. Linen is a natural fiber appropriate for both upholstery and draperies. Its texture and neutral color provide a backdrop for hotter accents, such as pillows and painted pieces. Cotton duck cloth is a more durable option for upholstery.
Ready-made options: Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic and Lee Industries offer furnishings that can be matched with a variety of fabrics.
8. Borrow from Nature
Comb the beach for treasures from the sea. When cleaned and bleached, sea stars, sand dollars, driftwood, rocks, and pieces of coral create one-of-a-kind accents at no cost. Shells always make a great display, whether you cluster them in a bowl, let a single shell stand alone, or use them to encrust a mirror, mantle, or chandelier. (Be sure to check local laws before removing seashells, coral, or other natural items.)
9. Accessorize Well
Create a scrapbook of beach memories, or look for coffee table books that celebrate the shore. You can also add subtle accents-such as coasters, paperweights, or hand towels-that are printed with seaside images.
Items we love: Beach Wisdom: Life Lessons From The Ocean (Andrews McMeel, 2003), the Paradise Scrapbook Album, and Iomoi's coasters and paperweights.
10. Use Good Scents
Fill the air with sea-inspired fragrances. Mist linens or entire rooms with a delicate spray, light an aromatic candle, or set out potpourri.

But after inking a deal with Italian label Underground Symphony, Sabaton saw their first would-be official album, Metalizer, inexplicably kept out of the marketplace for a full two years (it, too, belatedly reached the public in 2007). Tired of waiting, the members of Sabaton (now including new drummer Daniel Mullback), once again took matters into their own hands, and financed the recording of another album, Primo Victoria, which was officially released in 2005 by the Black Lodge label. It also opened the floodgates for a slew of popular singles and battle metal LPs to follow, including 2006's Attero Dominatus, 2008's The Art of War, and 2010's Coat of Arms, all of them bursting at the seams with historic and mythical chronicles of battle set to anthemic power metal. The band became increasingly successful across Europe, witnessed on 2011's live album, World War Live: Battle of the Baltic Sea, featuring a dozen tracks and ten different countries. The following year's Carolus Rex hit number one in Sweden and Poland, but it was the last for that lineup; 2014's Heroes featured new guitarists Chris Rörland and Thobbe Englund, plus new drummer Hannes van Dahl, alongside stalwarts Brodén and Sundström. Preceded by the rousing single the "Last Battalion," the conceptual Last Stand, the band's eighth studio album, dropped in August 2016. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Depending on where you live and what the weather was like, you may have already hosted your first cookout. Grilling outdoors is so popular it's even done when snow dusts the ground and icicles hang gracefully from roof eaves. Steak, chicken, hamburger and vegetables lead the roster of foods that make great grilling companions but it's the marinade that often makes meals memorable. These nifty sauces help the grill-meister add tantalizing flavors and tenderize outdoor cuisine. Marinades (sauces in which meat is soaked to soften and flavor it) are marvelous for turning an ordinary steak or breast of chicken into an extraordinary meal.
There are a few simple rules for making great marinades so creating your own "house" blend is fairly simple. The basic ingredients are those normally stocked in most home pantries and because they are inexpensive you needn't worry about spending too much by experimenting.
Herbs and spices are combined with tenderizing ingredients such as lemon juice to give marinades their hearty flavor.
But for tenderizing tough cuts of meat it's the base that counts. The role of the acid is to "break-down" long protein strands—the part of the meat that causes it to be tough.
Start with an acidic base like vinegar. Fruit juice, milk, buttermilk and wine may also serve as a marinade's base. Vinaigrette penetrates meat fibers particularly well.
The addition of oils to marinades also aids penetration of the acid. Look for oils listing "emulsifiers" in the ingredients, as these appear to penetrate deeper into the meat making a better marinade. Emulsifiers may be listed as monoglyceride, diglyceride or Polysorbate 80. These are natural substances and not considered harmful additives.
Never use a marinade that's been used to tenderize and flavor raw meat until you boil it first. This will kill any bacteria it may contain.

I never added supers to my hive this year, to ensure they have a good supply for the winter.
If it were more cold here, would the risk of leaving the feeder on be one of crystallization?
Finsky,I was under the impression the first deep hive body was mainly for brood, as the second was primarily for the bees' food storage. The supers cannot be so if one extracts honey at the end of the season, right?. Please clarify for me the "basic idea of beekeeping."
Finsky, you know I still find your honey yields beyond amazing. It is quite incredible. Your statement below was something that I was not even aware of:Are you saying that there is an empty box for nectar ripening BELOW the brood boxes? If this is what you meant, how do you keep the queen from laying down in the nectar ripening box? If this is what you meant, would not the bees have to carry the ripened nectar up through the brood boxes to the honey supers above??? Great day. Cindi
What said makes good sense for sure. BUT, 10 August in my area is far too soon to take ALL the honey off and prepare for winter.


text: Turns out that John Travolta really didn't want a trial after all. John's attorneys have always said John was innocent of the charges made by a former cruise ship staffer that said that when he brought room service to Travolta's cabin what he got was Travolta pressed against him naked with an erect peen. The staffer sued. Travolta's attorneys had tried to force the case to private arbitration but a judge sided with the staffer which meant there would have been a trial. That happened on Monday. Yesterday the two parties settled the suit and the staffer dropped his lawsuit. I guess writing that check was a whole lot easier than having everyone tuning in to watch the trial live everyday while a parade of other witnesses talked about Travolta and his previous actions.

Looking good and only had to turn it up 1.5" to keep the passenger side from rubbing at all even with quite a bit of suspension compression. the drivers side rubbed a bit on the rear inner fender plastic but the hot knife and a bit of contour work and that is clear too. Plenty of frame clearance all around so that makes me very happy. The alighment was right on for the left and out so little on the right that they told me it was not necessary to mess with it right now. I will have that done when I replace the upper "A" arms to get a bit better ball joint angle. These are Toyo 285/75R18 AT's and measure 35" x 11.5" mounted. if I had went with the 12.5" wide tire I think I would have had a bit of frame rubbing.
My Hunt'n truck is progressing SLOWLY

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. --- Three years ago, an upstart North Carolina team used a win over Duke at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships as a springboard to the No. 1 national ranking and the program's first trip to the Final Four.
Three years later, Carolina will have that chance again as the No. 8 Tar Heels rallied from a 3-1 deficit to upset No. 4 Southern California, 4-3, in the national indoors quarterfinals Saturday at the Boar's Head Sports Club. UNC (6-0) will face No. 3 Duke in Sunday's semifinals for a spot in the final.
USC (6-1) took the early lead thanks to its extremely talented doubles lineup that features the nation's best duo. The No. 1-ranked pair of Sabrina Santamaria and Kaitlyn Christian defeated No. 8 Ashley Dai and Whitney Kay for the third time in 2012-13, 8-3, before Danielle Lao and Giuliana Olmos topped No. 51 Lauren McHale and Tessa Lyons, 8-3, to clinch the point.
"USC came out with great intensity and purpose after losing doubles yesterday and they really put us on our heels," UNC head coach Brian Kalbas said after the match.
But the Tar Heels bounced back in fine fashion, winning first sets on four of six courts to open singles.
"We challenged them after doubles and they really responded," Kalbas said of his team.
No. 36 Caroline Price continued her strong spring by finishing first on court five with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Olmos to briefly tie the dual.
But the Trojans took the next two matches at the top of the lineup courtesy of No. 14 Danielle Lao and No. 17 Santamaria to push the Tar Heels to the brink.
No. 65 Dai got it to 3-2 with her 6-2, 6-3 win over Christian on court six, but Carolina still needed to get a pair of three-setters from there.
No. 21 Kay and No. 111 McHale both cruised to relatively easy opening-set wins before their opponents from USC responded to extend the respective matches.
Things looked bleak for UNC in those third sets as McHale trailed 4-2 to No. 56 Gabriella DeSimone on court four and Kay was down 3-0 to No. 19 Zoe Scandalis on court three.
"We were down on both courts but we found a way," Kalbas said. "I challenged Whitney at 0-3 and she stayed composed and played some tough, tough pressure tennis. Lauren was feeding off the energy of her teammates and to all our players' credit, they got tougher and stronger at the end of the match."
McHale won four straight games to close out her 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 win over DeSimone and even the dual at 3-3.
Kay, the freshman from Alpharetta, Ga., did her senior teammate one better, digging out of a 3-0 hole to win 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 to send the Tar Heels into Sunday's semifinals.
Standing between Carolina and the final is Duke, who topped Vanderbilt 4-1 earlier Saturday. The winner of the crosstown rivalry will face the UCLA-Georgia winner in Monday's final.
"This win really shows the depth of our team," Kalbas said. "We always say that we're not defined by any one point and that we're going to be competitive throughout every match. Today really showed us that we're never out of any match."
Sunday's match is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. and live scoring is available at VirginiaSports.com.
No. 8 North Carolina 4, No. 4 USC 3
1. #1 Kaitlyn Christian/Sabrina Santamaria (USC) def. #7 Ashley Dai/Whitney Kay (NC), 8-3

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by buddahfan, Oct 23, 2007.
TheStar.com | Sports | Forward Delfino drops like a stone on the Toronto Raptors' depth chart
Too bad for him. If you don't get off to a good start with a new coach and team, you may really limit your chances.
He must've picked up all the bad habits from Pistons.
Mitchell hasn't heard about the "switch" yet.......it's still "off".
must be yet another coach (see: orlando) who cannot see the true potential of our european cast-offs. when will these NBA coaches learn???? sheesh!
Mitchell has never been afraid to use the media to motivate a player. I wouldn't put a lot of stock into this, not until Delfino's minutes start getting cut. Sam might just be trying to fire him up.
I would think that just playing the game and his salary would be enough motivation. On the other hand maybe he is just bored. LOL
Delfino seems to be a very unselfish player. At this point, he should probably get a little more agressive with his own game. Drive more and rebound harder.
Maybe he just doesn't have that "game" that everyone is talking about.
That would be another possible explanation.
All in all, it looks like Joe won't be drafting any Europeans any time soon.
Maybe he is trying to make the players around him better. Could be a personality flaw that he has. Point guard personality and skills in a SG/SF body?
Who said a PG can't be 6'6"? As long as the skills are there.
He can but it would be hard to get time with Ford on your team. Doesn't seem like any of the coaches he has played for see this as a skill set. Maybe he really isn't any good? Just find it hard to believe after watching some of his highlights.
Pretty good point. Still, I prefer to reject the consensus reality and substitute my own. Delfino for point!! P.S. Magic was a pretty good point guard a few inches north of 6'6".
Nice game tonight vs the Cadavers Min 25 Pts 18 (FG 6 of 11 and FT 5 of 5) Reb 9 Asst 3 NBA - Cleveland Cavaliers/Toronto Raptors Box Score Thursday October 25, 2007 - Yahoo! Sports
Sixteen different players scored for the Raptors. You don't see that every day.
Delfino back on top! expect this rollercoaster all season long.
Six players scored for the Cavs. You see that more often.
I bet that those six didn't include Varejao, Pavlovic or Ferry. LOL
Separate names with a comma.

how do i speed up the updating for LoL? I've restarted it tons of times and it still always drops down to like 10kbs. Any suggestions?
Check if you have Pando Media Booster installed. If you do, try uninstalling it.
It's basically a tool LoL, and other games use to help users download the game via torrent. However, once that's done, it starts uploading, which caused massive lag & spikes on my net. I uninstalled it later and the spikes and lag were both fixed.
Maybe this will help, maybe not, worth a shot.
i've got the same problem. the speed effin dies down to 10kb/s or even 1kb/s. would take days for it to finish!! :S somethings not right here..
Sometimes outright disabling the peer to peer transfer can help your connection speeds

Wow, I've been working on this **** lid for so long now, I'm reluctant to actually call it done -- but as my progress is slowing, I'm finally calling time on it. Below are pics of my "final" ESB helmet (FP Prem). I'm content with how it came out, but ****, there's a whole ton of mistakes made along the way. I'm hoping to apply what I learned here onto my 2nd helmet (hopefully a GMH or another FP Prem).
I followed the paints list from TF (nearly all are Humbrol), with some suggested swaps from Jayvee's thread. I also chose to paint on all the decals instead of use adhesive ones so they look closer to the orig Letraset (at least IMO). Again, I think they came out well - though I can improve upon them next time.
Anyway, any feedback is welcome. I'm not sure what I can fix at this point - but even if it's notes for my next build, it would be good to hear it. And of course, thanks to a ton of folks here who made getting to this point even possible -- superjedi, Spidey, Jayvee, welshwarrior, godaiking, TF and of course, Raf the man and FP!
Thanks, fellas.
(Note: my helmet image is slightly stretched here -- about 10% -- for comparison to the ESB hero shot).

Commerical fishing season set for tasty start
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent | May 23. 2013 7:50PM
The 2013 Fresh & Local Seafood Kickoff will also help raise awareness about some of the lesser-known and lesser-used fish caught by New Hampshire fishermen each year as they face massive quota cuts for more popular species including cod and haddock.
University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension and NH Sea Grant are also helping to host the event.
"It's a kickoff to the commercial fishing season, but more importantly what we're doing is making a point to highlight underutilized species that are extremely indigenous to here, extremely underutilized and species these fishermen catch and can catch regularly but they don't have a market for it right now that can help them sustain," Louis said.
Louis already works with redfish, soft-shell lobster and pollock in his restaurant, so he said he is excited to work with whiting, a small, white hake, for Sunday's event.
Louis, like all of the participating chefs, tries to source locally as often as he can, whether it be produce, meat, or seafood.

Sled dog championship draws loyal following
By DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader | February 15. 2014 8:38PM
Two-time winner Keith Bryar from Moultonboro starts the open class race during the annual World Championship Sled Dog Derby in Laconia on Saturday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
"This is still my favorite race," said Mike Green, a veteran musher who spent 17 years racing dog sleds in Alaska before retiring and returning to New England last year. "It's the camaraderie. A lot of memories. A lot of old-time mushers and friends you meet. This race has been going on for 85 years now. It's just special."
The derby opened Friday on the trail carved out of the deep snow north of downtown, where the event used to be held. Hundreds of fans huddled along the course and cheered on the dog teams and mushers as they glided across the snow, which was packed and slick Saturday after a full day of racing and cold overnight temperatures.
Plaisted raced earlier in the day during the six-dog class and was back at her truck with a pair of six-month-old pups that aren't quite ready for racing yet but very energetic.
"You know what I like a lot? Pepper. He likes me a lot," she said. "And I like the huskies because I've never seen one before."
"I remember coming out with my dad when I was little with my cup of hot cocoa, watching the dogs come through and petting them," Maria Trainer said.
Beth LaPointe of Gilford was volunteering along with Green on Saturday. She said she's been coming to the derby for about 20 years, then learned there is always a need for people to help. She doesn't race, but loves dogs and the derby.

Turtle Beach. The most dangerous killing ground in all the internet. Beset on all sides by thirty-something retirees with no friends, precocious teenagers with unresolved anger issues, and most dangerous of all, quiet, good natured people who like videogames.

Hi there,
I'm a London based CELTA qualified teacher with one year's experience of teaching General English at a BC accredited school in London. I'm currently unemployed and I'm facing a bit of a dilemma over my rather limited job options and would really appreciate some advice.
I have been offered a summer position at EF, who are refusing to disclose the terms and conditions of the post until the day I will be expected to sign the contract. Teachers are also asked to complete a significant number of unpaid training sessions, and to pay £50 for their CRB checks, which will not be reimbursed. This is leading me to suspect that the pay will be really poor.
In the meantime, I have been offered interviews at a couple of other schools for longer term work- one is a Berlitz school, and another one that doesn't have BC accreditation. I also see a fair number of ads for long term posts at various Callan method schools. My question is whether I'd be stupid to be picky about the schools, given the lack of long term positions available in the UK at the moment (I've been out of work since January)... would it be a bad career move to teach Callan or Berlitz (I don't know much about the Berlitz method, but I think it's similar to Callan??) or in a non-accredited school in favour of longer term stability, or should I take the temporary contract with EF, knowing that I'll be unemployed again in September, may be just as badly paid, but will at least be working at an accredited school using the more highly regarded communicative method? I know that taking longer term work sounds like a more sensible option, I'm just worried that it's still a bit early in my TEFL career to move into teaching with an unorthodox method and the deskilling that it might entail. The same applies to teaching at non-BC accredited school in the UK- would it be career suicide?
If it helps, my longer term career goals would be to teach in Paris in 2013, and then to move into teaching EAP after I've gained enough experience to do the DELTA.
Sorry there's rather a lot of questions there! I'm just despairing a little over the lack of decent long-term contracts in the UK at the moment- going abroad is not an option for me until 2013, for personal reasons.
Many thanks for your time.

Foothill College presents Korda Moda, an exciting new exhibit that captures the evolution of Cuban fashion photography during the 1950s–1960s. This is the first exhibition dedicated to Korda's fashion photography. Korda Moda, which runs Oct. 2 through Dec. 6, features 30 photographs by Alberto Korda displayed at the Krause Center for Innovation (KCI) Gallery at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. Admission is free; parking is $3.
Cuban photographer Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez, known as Korda, is most famous for his image of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. This image, titled Heroic Guerrilla, is the most reproduced image in the world. Prior to the revolution and shooting Heroic Guerrilla, Korda was a successful fashion photographer, defining the fashion photography aesthetic in Cuba. "The beauty of women was the first expression of my photography," Korda said.
Opening Night Lecture—A special opening night lecture will be presented Oct. 2 from 6 to 7 p.m. in Appreciation Hall (Room 1501) at Foothill College. Diana Dîaz López, Korda's daughter and head of the Korda Estate, and Foothill Photography Instructor Ron Herman, curator of the exhibition, will discuss the life and photographs of Alberto Korda with a special screening of the short film Simply Korda. Admission is free; parking is $3.
Opening Night Reception—An opening reception for the Korda Moda exhibition will be presented Oct. 2 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the KCI Gallery at Foothill College. The gallery is located adjacent to Lot 4. Admission is free; parking is $3.
Lunchtime Lecture—Foothill College Photography Instructor Ron Herman will present a lunchtime gallery talk Oct. 23 from noon to 1 p.m. in the KCI Gallery at Foothill College. Herman will discuss the images of Korda's most famous model, Norka, to commemorate her 75th birthday on this day. The gallery is located adjacent to Lot 4. Admission is free; parking is $3.
Havana was a booming tropical playground in the 1950s, where the rich and famous would fly for the weekend to enjoy its music, nightclubs, gambling and illicit nighttime activities. The city exuded glamour, and its socialites were dressed in the latest Parisian couture for lavish parties and debutante balls. Fashion was big business in Havana, and money was rolling in as fast as the airplanes could land. Even French Designer Christian Dior opened a salon inside Havana's fashionable department store El Encanto.
"I wanted to become a famous fashion photographer because that way I would be able to meet the most beautiful women in Cuba," Korda said. His first challenge was to find models in Cuba whose physiques resembled that which he saw on the pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. "I had great difficulty finding a woman with classic lines…finally I met Norka," he said, with whom he produced his most iconic fashion photographs. His three main models, Nidia Rios, Norka (Natalia Méndez) and Norma Martínez, all had European-looking features, which lent themselves to the particular aesthetic of beauty that Korda wanted to achieve. Korda quickly took command of the genre and became Cuba's premier fashion photographer, often being referred to as the Cuban (Richard) Avedon.
The role of fashion in Cuba drastically changed after Fidel Castro seized power in 1959. After Castro called for a "love of that which is ours, of our Patria, of our things," Cuban became the dominant fashion motif. Cotton replaced Dacron as the fabric of choice and clothes bore a "Made in Cuba" label. The changing political and social climate can be seen reflected in Korda's photographs from this period. Korda infused the conventions of fashion photography already established by Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn and Erwin Blumenfield with a Caribbean aesthetic, one that was distinctly Cuban.
On March 5, 1960, Korda shot the iconic photo of Che Guevara while photographing the public funeral of the victims of the bombing of the Belgian ship La Coubre with his Leica M2 camera, 90mm lens and Kodak Plus-X Pan film. "The Che photograph is a fashion photograph," said former model Nidia Rios. Korda agreed that his images of the Revolution share the same sense of beauty as his fashion photography. "A man who develops a work like mine is always dedicated to something he loves," he said. "I did that from the very beginning. I have loved the beauty of women as much as the beauty of those men who led the Revolution. The beauty of those men is not only aesthetic but also moral. Loving, as I did, the work I made with men like Castro and Che Guevara, you can see the similarities between both types of photography."
Korda's studio was nationalized on March 14, 1968, and all of his negatives were confiscated and removed to an undisclosed location. It is believed that only his negatives from the Cuban revolution have been preserved and the others, particularly those of elitist fashion, were tossed or destroyed. The photographer died in 2001 at the age of 72.
Foothill's Korda Moda exhibition and accompanying catalog were done in 2013 in celebration of Korda's 85th and Norka's 75th birthdays, held respectively on Sept. 14 and Oct. 23, 2013.
The exhibit is located in the KCI Gallery at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. The KCI Gallery is open Mondays–Fridays, 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The gallery is closed Sundays and Nov. 11 and Nov. 28.
Parking Lot 4 provides best access to the KCI Gallery. Visitors must purchase a parking permit for $3 from dispensers in any student parking lot. Dispensers accept one-dollar bills and quarters; bring exact change. Foothill College is located off I-280 on El Monte Road in Los Altos Hills.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Have you been working on shaping using marker training using either a clicker or voice? Dogs will naturally bark and I don't believe in removing the behaviour entirely but you can certainly shape the behaviour to make it useful. You can use the same shaping for guests at the door as well.
Allow one bark and immediately mark and reward (you will need to be fast!). The puppy soon learns that barking is acceptable but you want one bark or two barks max before hushing and coming to me looking for the next command. Keep a small bag of treats in the bedroom and practice a few times a day, the pup should catch on quickly and realize doing it the way you're asking gets the most praise
|Thanks for the advice! She has been scaring my roommates. I also do not want the trainer to try and label her as "aggressive" because she is normally great in public places.
|When I was dealing with this, I worked on redirecting my puppy's attention on other things. Interrupt, redirect, reward good behavior. An interruption can be any sort of noise that distracts from what the dog is doing. I tend to clap because my dogs listen to it, a friend of mine would stomp her foot once, very hard. I tend not to say anything because I don't want to make any vocal reaction that the dog might take as me joining in. So, interrupter and once the dog looks at you have something they like ready - a piece of food to lure them away, a ball to chase, and rope to tug on. Something that will occupy them on to something positive. Then we just have a super fun game for five minutes or so. The big thing is you want to be absolutely consistent with it. Interrupt, get them to look at you (don't put a toy or piece of food in front of them while they are barking or they may think they're being rewarded for barking) and once you have the attention be quick in redirecting it. When you get a chance to start the obedience, you'll be able to distract them and do some training instead, or use a good strong "leave it" command. As long as you're consistent you can get some good results. My dogs have learned that we bark once, maybe twice then run back to mom to see what's next.
I just bought my first GSD three weeks ago. I am beginning to have problems with her barking at anyone (besides me or my boyfriend) who comes in the door or down the stairs, especially in the bedroom. I am unsure of how to correct this behavior or what is causing it. I have an evaluation for obedience lessons this week but any tips would be super helpful! Thanks!

US Department of Labor: Spring Regulatory Agenda 2010
Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA)
Topic: Health Plan Self-Compliance Tool
EBSA plans to enhance health benefit security by publishing compliance assistance guidance regarding the health plan coverage provisions of ERISA, including the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), and the special enrollment and notice provisions added by the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), supporting the Secretary's good jobs for everyone policy.
Key Action: Compliance Assistance Checklist
The Department's EBSA plans to publish a compliance assistance checklist no later than September 2010. This guidance will provide clarifications to group health plans, health insurance issuers, participants, beneficiaries, and other interested stakeholders regarding the minimum health plan coverage requirements in Part 7 of ERISA.
Key Concerns and Issues to be Addressed
The Departments of Labor, HHS, and the Treasury published regulatory guidance implementing GINA in October 2009. Guidance regarding mental health parity and CHIP followed in February 2010. The Compliance Assistance Checklist will address key implementation provisions for group health plans and health insurance issuers to facilitate broad-based compliance.
GINA generally adds to the HIPAA portability and nondiscrimination provisions to provide additional protections against collection and use of genetic information in health coverage.
MHPAEA generally provides that group health plans and health insurance issuers cannot impose financial requirements or treatment limitations on mental health or substance use disorder benefits that are more restrictive than the predominant limits applied to substantially all medical surgical benefits.
CHIPRA allows states to offer premium subsidies for certain low-income children who have access to employer-sponsored group health coverage, but do not have the means to pay for it. CHIPRA gives individuals new special enrollment rights in the plan upon a determination of eligibility for premium assistance under CHIP and upon loss of eligibility for CHIP coverage. CHIP also includes new disclosure requirements, including an employer notice provision that requires employers to inform employees of potential opportunities currently available in the State in which the employee resides for group health plan premium assistance under Medicaid and CHIP.

Kieran Gibbs believes Theo Walcott is the best winger in the country at the moment.
Walcott has enjoyed an excellent month on the flank for Arsenal, scoring his ninth goal of the campaign in Saturday's 3-0 win over Aston Villa.
Gibbs himself enjoyed a rare strike in the win at Emirates Stadium and hailed his compatriot as the finest of his kind in England.
"For me, yes [he is the best winger in the country]," said the left back. "Put it this way, I wouldn't like to be coming up against him.
"I looked up to him quite a lot when he first came to the club, it is a pleasure and a joy to play with him. He is an outstanding player.
"He is one of my best friends and a top boy. He is a model pro, takes his work really seriously and is a really nice guy."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The full radial SJ-4+ Championship winning Mainsail is an all purpose sail built to fit both the Proctor and Super Spar range of masts. It is manufactured from Dacron 4.46 Polykote.
Mainsail standard features:
The bi-radial FG-3 Jib is designed to complement the SJ-4+ Mainsail. It is a slightly flat jib which gives a good all round performance for inland or sea sailors.it is manufactured from Dacron 4.46 Polykote.
Jib standard features:
This tuning guide has been prepared to help you get the most out of your North Sails as quickly as possible. It is meant as a starting point only, as we cannot cover all options and techniques. Feel free to modify and experiment in small steps to find what suits you best. If you find a settings that really work well, please keep us informed.
Ensure all sheaves are free running and the rigging is clean prior to stepping the mast.
Spreader Angle: Measure from spreader tip to tip.
Spreader Length: Measure from spreader tip to wall of mast.
Rig tension is measured on the shrouds with a 3mm wire gauge. Mast rake is measured from top of mast to the centre of the transom. For sailing in all conditions the rig should be set up with Jib hoisted and tension fully on:
Rig Tension: 400lbs
Mast Rake: 6470mm
This should make the mast straight with no Mainsail hoisted.
Ensure the Mainsail is fully hoisted - halyards do stretch.
Battens should be left in the sail at all times and whilst not afloat, the sail should be rolled down the leech, parallel to the battens.
This is used to position draft in the sail. Do not use any Cunningham until you become overpowered in heavy airs, then pull Cunningham on progressively harder as the breeze increases. This will move the draft of the sail forward in the top and de-power the upper leech.
Beating: In light and heavy airs the foot of the sail should be pulled tight. In medium airs, ease approximately 12mm.
Running: Keep the foot tight in all conditions.
Reaching: Ease fully in medium conditions, in light airs ease 25mm and in heavy airs pull out tight.
To find Jib lead position, follow the sheeting angle through the Jib clew. This should divide the Jib luff approximately in half. When sailing upwind in a Force 3, all the tell tales should break together. In medium/heavy airs, the Jib should be sheeted hard to maximise pointing ability.
In lighter conditions the Jib sheet needs to be eased approximately 12mm to keep the top of the leech open. Once a fairlead position has been found, use it in all conditions with very heavy airs, then move back 25mm. This will flatten the base of the Jib and open the leech, keeping the boat driving and on her feet.

Michael Barone: I'd have "been grateful for some global warming as I waited in the dark for the school bus" in Michigan
From Barone's July 12 Washington Examiner column [1] titled, "Who's afraid of global warming?":
I am open to arguments on this issue, but as I have written several times it seems to me that many global warming alarmists are motivated by something that is more like religion than science. It makes sense to try to mitigate negative effects of any change in climate or weather, as we are quite capable of doing, technologically and economically. Though not always politically, as seen by our decades-long failure to protect our one major city under sea level, New Orleans, from the effects of a catastrophic storm, in the ways that the Dutch have protected their country in which most people live below sea level. But imposing huge costs on our private sector economy on the basis of computer models of something as complex as climate, and which have not done a good job of predicting the present or recent past, seems the height of folly.
I think it makes more sense to monitor and mitigate--keep our eyes open for problems that may occur and take intelligent action to prevent negative effects.
As for global warming, why assume that every affect will be negative? I grew up in Michigan and would have been grateful for some global warming as I waited in the dark for the school bus. As [Ian] Plimer explains in the opening chapter of Heaven and Earth, climate has been much warmer and much cooler at various times in the past. Human beings have adapted--and it's been a lot easier to adapt to warming than cooling.

After years of hating having my stuff in boxes I've finally begun work on my prop room. I haven't made it into the toy room yet but I have the carpet and paint ready to go
The mannequin is about 5" too tall but it's fine. At least the shinguards and gauntlets hide it I had to make the head..... need one of those DCB zam heads......anyone have one for sale?
I plan to put a lighted panel behind the characters like a death star wall and I'll put 16 x 20 screen capture photos above each character to show reference. It's in a temporary state right now. I only need another 7 mannequins :shock: By the time I acquire the 7 I'll probably need 7 more

The election of 2008 has focused extensively on who wears a pin or who has a bracelet and who has undergone torture at the hand of the enemy. Senator John McCain can not get through a speech without referring back to Vietnam and the torture he endured, apparently to prove if one was tortured it represented training to become president. Lately, Senator McCain has wrapped himself around the American flag and introduced the face he wears a bracelet. Senator Obama was not to be outbid on the bracelet vote and proudly announced he also was wearing a bracelet given him by Tracy Jopek whose son died in Iraq. She initially asked him not to mention her name, but after he did, she said it was OK.
One can only wonder if the bracelet effect will count more in the minds of voters than the loss of their life savings. Will they stand behind a man who was tortured over a man who never even served in the military! Then, again, we must not forget the importance of wearing an American pin.

Just received last night a $30 off your next Cabela's purchase over $100.00 BUCKS coupon so I decided now was the time to buy my duck shot for next season. . . well it happens that Remington is also running a sale on Hevishot ($15 off a 5 box purchase!) So, I was able to pick-up 60 rounds of 12g #6 Nitro Mag Hevi for $67.94 (including $10.95 for SHIPPING) OR about $1.13 per trigger pull. . . I didn't think that was to bad.
