Walter Kausch developed what would become the world's first successful breast prosthesis. In 1958, following his wife's diagnosis of breast cancer, he became frustrated by the lack of options available for women after a mastectomy. As a labor of love born out of his belief that only the best would do, he went to work at his home and created a breast form which he successfully marketed.
The importance of restoring confidence, self-esteem, and ultimately, a better quality of life for women following breast surgery is at the heart of what Trulife continues to do. They understand what women want from their breast form because they listen and have been listening for 50 years.
A breast form is only as good as the bra that carries it. It is important to choose a bra style that will adequately support the weight of your breast form and hold it securely against your body. After breast surgery, we always recommend being professionally fitted for your bra and breast form. However, as your body changes so does your bra size, so you should check your measurements from time to time, particularly following weight loss or gain.
Profile Fit: When fitting there are 3 distinct shapes to describe profile: Shallow, Average, Full
A Bra is too small if:
A Bra is too big if:
Underwire Bras:
If you have worn underwire bras before your surgery, you may want to continue wearing this style. Underwire bras provide good separation and support for full figures, and offer additional lift and definition for smaller busts. If you have chosen an underwire bra, the wires should lie flat against the body. If the wires dig under your arm or stick out at front, the cup size is too small.
The key to a successful fitting with underwire bras is the shape of the breast from itself. Symmetrical shapes with a rounded base will fit best but some other shapes can be rotated to fit properly within the wire. If you like wearing underwire bras and want to continue doing so, try to look for a good fitting symmetrical breast form such as the Harmony Silk Triangle, Harmony Silk Flex or the Harmony Silk Radiance.
Remember, the measuring tape is only a starting point. Although two women may have the same measurements, their breasts may differ in terms of volume, shape, and spacing. Different brands will also vary in terms of size and fit. Do not rely too much on the tape measure; use your judgment to make the final decision.

Mary and Cody were married at the YMCA's Camp Kon-O-Kwee in Fombell, Penn. on September 14. "I can't say enough about how much I loved our venue," Mary said. "It was by far my favorite that we looked at, and I am so glad I found it! We wanted an outdoor/indoor space that could accommodate all our 300 guests without being crowded, but still feel intimate." The bride wore a sweetheart a-line wedding gown, accessorized with chapel-length veil, while the groom wore a casual gray button-up and pants along with a tan vest and tie. Before the ceremony, instead of a first look, they chose to exchange gifts without peeking! "I was standing in a clearing in the woods waiting to walk down the aisle with my mom, dad, brothers, and all of my bridesmaids, and everything seemed so calm though," she said. "I thought I would be really emotional and nervous, but I was just really really excited! The last six years had led me to that moment, and for just a few seconds timed seemed to stand still. I couldn't wait to marry the man I knew was waiting for me at the end of the aisle." Following the vows, guests were asked to choose a colored goblet glass to use for the night (just look at the massive collection!) and mark with their names for cocktails, tables were named after cities, states, and countries traveled to and from, and the fare? A gourmet build-your-own taco bar and seven cakes. "Of all the elements in our wedding day, the flowers are at the top of the list as one of my favorites," Mary said. "My family owns a flower farm, and I grew up cutting flowers in the field dreaming of the ones I would someday use in my own bouquet." At the end of the night, everyone gathered to send the newlyweds off to their honeymoon with wish lanterns. Magical, right?

By Rob Kelly
Aaron Ramsey is delighted to see Jack Wilshere returning to full fitness and cannot wait to play alongside the England international.
The talented pair have not had many opportunities together in the Arsenal midfield due to a combination of long-term injuries and loan spells.
Wilshere is now close to his first-team return after 14 months out with ankle and knee problems, and Ramsey is looking forward to his comeback.
"He's been out for a long time and I've been through a similar sort of thing," he said. "I'm happy to see him back playing again. There's nothing worse than being out for that period of time.
"We haven't really had a chance to play together. He went out on loan, I got injured and then he got injured.
"He's a gifted player, one that any midfielder would like to play with - and I'm no different. Hopefully that can be a possibility soon."
Ramsey will have to wait a bit longer for that opportunity, though, as Arsène Wenger is not willing to field Wilshere against Schalke on Wednesday.
"On Monday he had 90 minutes [for the under-21s against Everton], Sagna had 90 minutes, Frimpong had 90 minutes - we will see how they recover," the manager said.
"But we are in a bit of a trap at the moment because he [Wilshere] needs to play full games and of course, 48 hours later is too dangerous to play someone - or even put him on the bench - who has not played for such a long time."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Mouse Exclusion Products Control Products
Stuff-It Copper Mesh Exclusion$10.99to$31.59Prevent Pest Entry
Mouse Exclusion, Mouse Exclusion Products
Making your house rodent proof is the process of denying mice entry into a building or home by improving the building integrity. This can be difficult with mice since they can enter in a space small as a pinky finger. Mouse exclusion is the best long term and cost effective method of rodent control, taking the time to do it right and thoroughly can save you lots of frustration down the line.
Effective mouse exclusion means you want to eliminate dead spaces, cracks, crevices, and other openings so that pests cannot hide in, enter, or leave a specific building, room or piece of equipment.
One of the best rodent exclusion products is Stuff-it copper mesh. Copper mesh should be used when trying to prevent entry into a hole and opening. Rodents do not have the ability to chew or gnaw through the copper mesh fibers.
Openings around pipes and doors should be corrected. Wooden doors are often gnawed through by mice. Ventilation grill should be covered with 18-gauge mesh. Sidewalk gratings should be also closed.
Removal of harborage areas around structure and removing of tree branches that hang over roof line will also help in your mouse exclusion efforts.
ePestsolutions also provides a variety methods of rodent control which include the use of rodent bait stations, rat traps, glueboards and rodent control kits.

Around a dozen states, including Kansas, are climbing over each other to try and claim this Boeing prize. But does Missouri or the Sunflower state really have a shot?
Join KCWIR, Friday December 6th at 7:30 pm and the rebroadcast Sunday at 11 am as we connect the dots on this story and the region's other most significant news events…
The Downtown Drive-Thru Debate…
Should Kansas City banish drive-thru restaurants downtown? A plan to put a a Jimmy John's drive-through deli at Ninth and Broadway on the site of a long-vacant building is giving a number of downtown Kansas City residents and some city officials heartburn. The project has ignited a debate over how to continue revitalizing downtown as a neighborhood and whether drive-thru's distract from that.
The Museum split…
The KCMO City Council votes this week to separate management of the Kansas City Museum from Union Station. Is this an amicable divorce? The move comes five months after the abrupt firing of Kansas City Museum head Christopher Leitch, which was never fully explained. The Kansas City Museum, which has been housed at Corinthian Hall, is currently under renovation. Based on this new deal it will fall under the City Parks Department.
Chiefs Concussion Lawsuit
Remember the whole controversy over the NFL and concussions? Well it's not going away and certainly not for our hometown Kansas City Chiefs.
Five former Chiefs players file a lawsuit against the team this week. They are seeking financial damages as a result of head injuries suffered while playing. Alexander Cooper, Leonard Griffin, Christopher Martin, Joseph Phillips and Kevin Porter were members of the Chiefs in the late 80s and early 90s.
The lawsuit claims each player is suffering from "post-concussion syndrome and latent brain disease." The suit is noteworthy because it is the first filed against a single NFL team.
First KCI Public Meeting
A task force charged with weighing up a new single terminal design plan for KCI airport held its first public hearing this week. But the meeting is abruptly halted after a bomb threat is called in at city hall.
But before all the high drama kicked in, did we learn anything about the public's sentiment in this first opportunity for citizen's to weigh-in?
They're calling in the big guns to try and land the Republican National Convention here in Kansas City. Former US Senator Bob Dole of Kansas and Missouri US Senator Kit Bond are named as co-chairs this week for the campaign to bring the convention to Kansas City in 2016.
Kansas City hosted the GOP convention in 1928 when Herbert Hoover got the nod and in 1976 when Gerald Ford won the nomination. Will 2016 be the year it returns to Kansas City?

Helsinki • Reigning champion Russia lost for the second time in two days at the ice hockey world championships, going down 3-2 to Finland on Friday due largely to goalie Antti Raanta's 34 saves.
Finland's Petri Kontiola scored at 3:22 and 17:21 in the first period. He has five goals and four assists in five games. Juhamatti Aaltonen made it 3-1 in a power play at 16 minutes in the second, on an assist by Janne Pesonen.
Raanta was dominant after the Russians drew to within a goal when star forward Ilya Kovalchuk scored at 1:48 in the second period with his team's goalie pulled. Kovalchuk was ejected with a couple of seconds remaining after knocking down Pesonen with a right hook. On Thursday, Russia was beaten 2-1 by France in the biggest upset of the tournament.
Bernhard Starkbaum made 42 saves before stopping all 3 shots in the shootout, and Austria beat 2012 runner-up Slovakia 2-1 earlier Friday.
Austria's Thomas Vanek was the only player to score in a shootout ended by Starkbaum's save to deny Miroslav Satan. Slovakia, France, Austria and Germany can all advance to the playoffs in Helsinki.
In Stockholm, Zbynek Michalek and Jiri Novotny scored on power plays in the third period and the Czech Republic beat Slovenia 4-2.

A desperate app selection calls for desperate measures
The Windows Store has grown significantly since the dark and dreary pre-launch days of Windows 8, more than quadrupling its catalog size since October 26th. Don't let that 20,000 app number fool you, though. Quantity is not the same as quality, and the platform still suffers from hit-or-miss availability when it comes to blockbuster apps. You'll find modern UI offerings for some of the big-name apps from other platforms in the Windows Store—including Netflix, Hulu, Skype, and Kindle—but you're bound to hit a brick wall when looking for many other must-have titles, including Pandora, Twitter, and Facebook.
Luckily, third-party developers have stepped in with their own versions of your favorite missing apps. We've sifted through the Windows Store to identify the best Band-aids for the most painful Windows Store no-shows.

Oct. 15, 2004
The University of Tennessee Swimming and Diving Team got its season off to a strong start Friday evening, defeating the Richmond Spiders 167-128. A trio of Lady Vols each claimed a pair of titles, helping propel UT to its 13th-straight season opening victory.
"It's always good to win the opener," Lady Vol Head Coach Dan Colella said. "We were real pleased with the performances from mostly everyone across the board. I take my hat off to Richmond, they had some good performances tonight, especially Brooke Boncher. We had some athletes who stood up and swam hard for us. Overall, I am pleased. A number of our freshman performed well, especially Kaitlyn Orstein who opened up her career with three wins tonight (one exhibition.) It was great to see Jacque Fessel win her specialties and obviously Julia Stowers performed great in her debut."
All-American Jacque Fessel helped lead the way (Cincinnati Ohio) for the Big Orange, as the junior won a pair of titles. She took home both the 100 and 200y backstroke crowns. Her time of 2:01.43 in the 200y backstroke provisionally qualified her for the NCAA Championships. The Ohio native also swam the opening leg of the winning 200y medley relay squad
Julia Stowers (Knoxville, Tenn.) was impressive in her debut with the Big Orange. The former Olympic Gold medalist took home both the 500 and 1000y freestyles. Her time of 9:58.14 in the 1000y freestyle ranks as the 13th-fastest time in school history and places her as the seventh-fastest Lady Vol swimmer in event history. Meanwhile, her clocking of 4.54.29 in the 500y freestyle places her as the 15th-fastest swimmer in the history of the program. In the 500y freestyle, Stowers narrowly missed out on the NCAA provisional qualifying time of 4:54.02.
Freshman Kaitlyn Orstein (Pittsburgh, Pa.) looked very impressive in her Lady Vol debut, as she also claimed a pair of event titles. She won both the 100 and 200y breaststroke. Her time of 1:04.37 in the 100y breaststroke ranks as the 18th fastest in UT history, placing her as the 11th-fastest swimmer. In the 200y breaststroke she blazed to a time of 2:21.25, placing her as the 16th-fastest swimmer in Big Orange history. She also swam the second leg on the winning 200y medley relay squad. Orstein also touched the wall first in the 200y IM, but she was swimming exhibition in that event, due to UT's large lead.
Returning NCAA qualifier Megan Tomes (Cincinnati, Ohio) got her season off to a strong start as well. The Ohio native won the 200y freestyle with a time of 1:51.40. She also finished in second place in the 50y freestyle.
Diving Coach Dave Parrington's trio of divers started the year strong, sweeping both the one and three-meter platform diving events.
"It's always exciting to go one-two-three on both boards," Parrington said. "I was very pleased with the performance of Lauren LeRoy, in particular at the one-meter as she qualified for the NCAA Zone Meet. I haven't had too many freshmen come in and do that the first time out. Brittany Fulmer showed some improvement in both her confidence and performance from a year ago, so I'm very pleased with that. Lauryn McCalley dove like the veteran that she is, getting both of her qualifying scores which is great to get out of the way."
In the one-meter event, senior All-American Lauryn McCalley (Moultrie, Ga.) claimed the title with a score of 271.04. Freshman Lauren LeRoy (Oshkosh, Wis.) took second place with a total of 266.40, while sophomore Brittany Fulmer (Maryville, Tenn.) took third. Both McCalley and LeRoy qualified for the NCAA Zone Meet with their scores. McCalley also claimed the crown in the three-meter diving event, this time with a winning total of 289.42, which also qualified her for the NCAA Zone Meet.
UT's relay squads also started the year strong, winning the 200y medley with a time of 1:45.81, with Tatiana Athayde (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and Abbi Terveer (Lima, Ohio) joining Fessel and Orstein on the squad. The 400y medley relay team touched the wall first in the final event of the meet, but did not score points as they were swimming exhibition.
The Lady Vols will be back in action on Friday, Oct. 29 as they play host to SEC Foe Kentucky.

The New York Giants pummeled Carolina Thursday night with a decisive 36-7 win. Panthers QB Cam Newton completed 16-of-30 passes for 242 yards with no TDs and three picks. He did run in his team's lone score, but he only managed six rushing yards. By containing Newton, particularly on read option plays, the second-year QB couldn't stay comfortable in the pocket and negated his typical rushing prowess.
Fantasy Analysis:
Carolina's inability to pass protect led to Newton playing out of control and frustrated. For all that his made about Newton's talents, he has a sometimes reckless style of play. Whether he's forcing passes downfield or throwing off his back foot, the former Auburn star still has much to learn about not simply falling back on his athleticism or strong arm. This matchup should have favored Newton as the Giants struggled to defend the pass in their first two games yet after it was over, Newton had the worst game of his career. Consistency is the biggest concern moving forward.

Cisco and Sistema JSFC provide "Lift to the Future" for Russian Youth
Russia's concerted efforts to grow indigenous talent received significant boost recently. Cisco, the global leader in networking, and Sistema JSFC, Russia's largest public investment company, have announced collaboration to enhance the quality of ICT education in Russia.
- Why is it important? Russia wants to foster innovation locally via projects like Skolkovo that aim to create an ecosystem for innovation. To run that ecosystem, Russia will need local talent: world class technologists and entrepreneurs. The "Lift to the Future" project, launched by Sistema late last year, intends to be a vehicle to groom such talent from schools and universities by offering tutoring on Russia's first youth tutorage network.
At 'Social Lifts for Talented Youth – Best Russian Experience', a pioneering conference held by Sistema in cooperation with Moscow State Lomonosov University and Vedomosti daily newspaper, Cisco and Sistema have signed an MoU. According to it, Cisco will donate network equipment and provide access to its education programs. In addition, the company will carry out skills-upgrade courses for teachers of the educational establishments involved in the project. From its own side, Sistema will help Cisco to expand the Cisco Networking Academy™ program in Russia. Moreover, both companies intend to collaborate in launching student competitions, forums and summer schools to support talented Russian youth.
Elena Shmeleva, vice president of Sistema Charity Foundation, gave Cisco credit for being the first company to support the "Lift to the Future" project, stressing that "Education content provided by Cisco, as well as its unique training methodology will become a basis for training skilled ICT professionals and supporting Russian IT education within this project."

I seem to recall seeing that unlike Boba, Jango's bucket has some kind of seal type arrangement.
How do you guys go about making that for your bucket?

I seem to recall seeing that unlike Boba, Jango's bucket has some kind of seal type arrangement.
How do you guys go about making that for your bucket?
I believe most guys don't for trooping because it would cut way back on the amount of air you'd have circulating in the helmet which helps to keep you cool. Plus not to mention it would trap the moisture and condensation from your breath possibly causing your visor to fog up quicker or more than desired.
Just my opinion,
I troop in mine all the time. I have one fan and it blows over the top of the T. I have not cleaned the T with anything that would keep it from fogging.
I have had a pro costume maker look at the pics and told me that it looks to be very thin leather. Once I get my new helmet, I am going to be doing a run of them at will fit that helmet.
There you go. Two different opinions. I don't have any fans in my helmet so I'm thinking that may make a difference too. I'd like to have a fan in my helmet and I tried it once but it made too much noise. What fan are you using in yours Asok? Wow, now I'm curious as to how many people do troop with a helmet seal...maybe I need to get with the program here.:lol
It is a small squirrel fan or cage fan. I got it from ebay. I don't see them up there now. I will try and get my bucket out to see if there is a make on it.
If you've got a helmet sealer, then it could cause the CO2 levels inside the helmet to rise to high levels, and you could begin to be asphyxiated ... not good!
Come on!! Breathing is so over rated! :lolQuote:

*Vader breathing*Quote:
asok said:
I find your lack of faith disturbing!
Don't suppose there's anychance of someone posting a pic of their helmet seal is there?
PM me your email and I will work on sending you a pic later today when I get home.Quote:
Nocturne said:
I am using a small laptop fan ( very quiet), and works great. Also you can make the gasket more open, the gasket cleans up the bottom look.. if that made any sense.
So, how many people use the helmet seal? Also shouldn't there be a balaclava too so your neck won't show behind the collar?
Well I was debating this myself, I have the leather left over from my vest. However I wonder if a mesh fabric wouldn't be a better choice.
Actually Boba was supposed to have a neck sealer. Look at the Star Wars Chronicles book. They made an attachment that velcroed along the front half of the helmet (under the chin) and then velcroed to the neck of the quilted balaclava they used on the pre-pro suits. They didn't use the neck sealer in the films, but continued to use the quilted balaclava.
Since Jango doesn't have a high neck seal around his throat and just a collar with a balaclava, yeah I do kinda find it silly looking when I see Jango costumers at conventions with visible necks showing from all sides since they don't wear the balaclavas.
I don't use a seal or a fan. I work outdoors and am very acclimated to outdoor temperatures and trooping in it is not much different. I do not wear a balaclava either, though I do have a neckseal. Maybe one of these days I'll make a balaclava from the same material as my jumpsuit to match materials and color.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The 17th-ranked University of Tennessee Lady Vol swimming and diving team defeated the University of Kentucky, 133-110, on Friday at the Student Aquatic Center in Knoxville, Tenn. UT used a first and second-place showing in the final event of the meet, the 400y freestyle relay, to seal the win. The Big Orange improved to 2-0 (1-0 SEC) while Kentucky fell to 1-1 (0-1 SEC).
"We knew going into it that it was going to be a close meet," Head Coach Dan Colella said. "Even though at points it looked like we were starting to pull away, we knew there was a potential they would get back into and sure enough they did, with a great performance in the breaststroke. But we felt we were in a good position and we did what we needed to do in the 400y free."
The 400y medley relay squad of Megan Tomes (Cincinnati, Ohio), Kaitlyn Orstein (Pittsburgh, Pa.), All-American Jacque Fessel (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Christine Magnuson (Tinley Park, Ill.) got the meet off to a solid start for the Big Orange, finishing in with a time of 3:47.67, narrowly edging out UK's squad (3:47.70). Tomes and Orstein also had success individually on the night. Both qualified provisionally in the 200y IM, en route to a one-two finish. Tomes won the event with a time of 2:03.15, while Orstein claimed second place with a time of 2:04.19. The freshman is now the 13th-fastest Lady Vol Swimmer in program history in the 200y IM. Tomes also took home the title in the 100y freestyle, clocking a time of 51.83.
Julia Stowers (Knoxville, Tenn.) continued her early dominance on the year, winning three events. In the 500y freestyle, she provisionally qualified for the NCAA
Championships with a time of 4:50.79. Meanwhile, in the 1000y freestyle, the Tennessee native blazed to a time of 9:56.59, which ranks her as the fifth-fastest Lady Vol
in the history of the program. She was also victorious in the 200y freestyle, finishing with a time of 1:51.54, just missing the provisional qualifying mark of 1:50.83.
Fessel also picked up an individual win, claiming the 200y backstroke with a final clocking of 2:02.42.
Diving coach Dave Parrington's group was without the services of All-American Lauryn McCalley (Moultrie, Ga.), leaving the Big Orange with just two divers, Brittany Fulmer (Maryville, Tenn.) and Lauren LeRoy (Oshkosh, Wis.). LeRoy earned four points on the night for UT, taking fifth-place in both the one and three-meter boards, with Fulmer right behind her in sixth place.
"Diving without our senior co-captain hindered our efforts on the boards this evening, but I'm still particularly happy with some of the things I saw out there," Diving Coach Dave Parrington said. "Lauren (LeRoy) is making some adjustments and changes in the heat of the competition. Brittany (Fulmer) put in a great effort today, she's battling an injury and I didn't even know if she would compete."
Next up for UT is a trip to Lafayette, Ind., for the Purdue Invitational from Nov. 5-6.

Public Safety
Important: In case of emergency call (617) 568-7300 or 911.
Safety and security are the top priorities at Boston Logan. Massport's Fire Rescue, Office of Corporate Security, and the Massachusetts State Police Troop F help us keep you safe.
Massport Fire Rescue
The Fire Rescue headquarters as well as a Fire Rescue satellite station are both located on Boston Logan International Airport's airfield.
Massport's Fire Rescue responsibilities include aircraft rescue and fire fighting, structural fire protection, hazardous materials response (Hazmat), emergency medical services, responding to off-shore emergencies in and around Boston Harbor with the Marine division, which includes the 79-foot American United fireboat, as well as fire prevention and inspections. Massport Fire Rescue is part of the Massachusetts Metro Fire District and responds to surrounding communities on a mutual aid system.
Boston Logan's state-of-the-art fire training facility is used by fire departments from all over the United States and Canada.
In Good Hands
Fire Rescue's emergency medical services include the use of automated external defibrillators. The airport-wide defibrillator program at Boston Logan has helped save many lives.
Massport Fire Rescue also provides periodic training in CPR and First Aid to airport employees and a community outreach program that includes fire safety education for school children in neighboring communities.
Massachusetts State Police Troop F
Headquartered at Boston Logan, the members of Troop F provide law enforcement, policing, and specialized aviation and seaport security services for all Massport properties.

Over at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, Valerie Tarico wrote an interesting analysis of a St. Louis program that adopted an Obamacare-like approach to contraception. According to a US News & World Report article on the program,
Through a project known as Contraceptive CHOICE, nearly 10,000 women between the ages of 14 and 45 in the St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo., areas were offered free contraceptives between 2007 and 2011. Abortion rates among that cohort were between two thirds and three quarters less than the national average for those years. For the 500 teens in the study, the birth rate was 1-in-159, compared to the 1-in-29 birth rate nationally–an 80 percent drop.
That's an astounding reduction in teen pregnancies. What's even more interesting, and the focus of Tarico's article, is that the reason for the drop appears to be that the women in the study opted to shift from less reliable to more reliable forms of birth control.
But the real story is even bigger. What got triggered when 9000 women were offered free birth control was a technology shift in a microcosm. When presented with comprehensive information and a buffet of no-cost options, a majority of the study's participants, almost 75%, shifted from 1960's contraceptive technologies to state-of-the-art long acting reversible contraceptives known in the industry as LARCs. And they liked them!
. . .
In the real world, long acting reversible contraceptives have 1/10 to 1/50th the failure rate of Pills, and they are cheaper in the long run. But the upfront cost is substantial, as much as $1000 for the device and insertion. The result is that women who are living month to month often choose old technologies and then pay the price, and even middle class women with health insurance may balk at the lump sum. Taking the money out of the equation changes the bottom line.
I tend to be very libertarian but clearly this is a case where the initial government spending may be far outweighed by later savings (i.e., government expenditures on pregnant teens and their children). Regardless, it is interesting just how stupid the response from the Family Research Council to the study was. US News quotes FRC's Jeanne Monahan,
One might conclude that the Obama administration's contraception mandate may ultimately cause more unplanned pregnancies since it mandates that all health plans cover contraceptives, including those that the study's authors claim are less effective.
The stupid, it burns.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by MotownPride, Oct 30, 2008.
What did I say on 11/11....I just cut two weeks down to 1 week...
I thot I pre-set my roster for tonight. :P Say "thank you" ralphie.
i was happy with my 5-4 win but didn't notice as much since i was too busy destroying roscoe 8-1 in the keeper league
Don't talk trash in the wrong league thread. I don't want to miss any of the junk coming off your keyboard, intended in my direction. I got a book and I am taking down names on a list. So far I got YOU Darth Needless to say, you are going to get a lot of my attention later on.
oh don't worry, i'll bring plenty to the other thread! just like my team brought plenty last week ;)
What the hell did I do? Where the hell did you get that new smiley? Why the hell do I have to be listed second?
What the hell haven't you done? Womens stockings, eating a cheeseburger two handed, shrinking human skulls,... I'm at a loss to think of a depravity you haven't partaken in, nay, mastered! Wouldn't you like to know. Ladies first.
You can keep Jammer. Hosers are a dime a dozen in Canada. I want Slippy back. Undamaged.
He was damaged goods when I got him!! You expect me to fix him?? Where the hell would I begin? Anyhow, Slippo refuses to cross the border. He's OURS...damaged...but OURS!!!!!!!!
don't worry, Diaw, whom you picked up after I dropped him, clearly outshined Durant
Tater, are you ready for this? Last year I called you out... You were no where to be found. I know you're scared of me, Tater. I see the fear in your eyes. So far, you've never beaten me Head to Head in fantasy basketball competition. We have a word for that where I'm from... This week will be no different. Dre, thanks for keeping my seat warm....
Well, I would've beaten you in the playoffs last year if you had made it.:girl_devil: My team sucks. They suck so bad that for the first time ever, I haven't even purchased Stat Whacker to check on them. You jumped out to a big early lead I see. Oh, that's right...I didn't have any guys playing. Story of my season. I'm here to play the spoiler. You know, some unsuspecting team will have playoff hopes only to be slowed down by Tater's 3-6 loss to them. You can forget about winning turnovers. And my boys always come through for some other obscure category. So my goal is 3 categories against you...and everyone else. I'm thinking 12th place (of 14) can be all mine. Yep, the sky is the limit for my fine squad!
So, Debt team, will you do the Howard for Boone trade? You should hurry, if Boone comes back and plays decent, I'm gonna have to cancel this one in a million offer...
Just as you all predicted, T-Mac is injured and I will be lucky to get 50 games out of him... Motown the seat feels good but, there goes my chances to hold on to first place for awhile as he was averaging 16-5-5.
That's a shame. Too bad you're playing me this week. In other news... how bout that Morrow kid?
The weeks not over yet...I still have 5 days to over come my deficit and maybe one add/waive in the D league to bring up..
dang I dropped to sixth place...that trade of Zach really hurt as he missed three games which would have at least put me over the top in both points and Rebounds...however probably in the TO's too, but at least I would have netted another point in the standings. He has been my third best fantasy player. My second best> Joe Johnson had a terrible game vs the Cavs and his coach sat him down early, so got nothing out of him on Saturday night after he had tossed in ten 3 pointers in the previous 3 games. So webz, good job in dethroning me, but champions always rebound, so all others beware....
i scammed the baby eaters into buying bad property they thought they could flip. nearly pulled off the 9-0, but threw him a FT% bone so maybe he wouldn't go to the authorities. i'm getting deja vu. winless and i just squared off in a 1st vs. 2nd place matchup in the keeper league, now we're facing off again as 1st vs. 2nd in the advanced. hopefully i also come out with a win
I think you might win this round too. Boozer and Redd are injured.

A Turkish flotilla of ships sailed to bring aid to the embattled people of Gaza, and its government denounced Israel for violating human rights, but those who spoke eloquently against oppression are remarkably silent when it comes to the oppression of Kurdish children in Turkey. Metin, a 15 year old Kurdish boy was arrested on charges of aiding Kurdish rebels, thrown into jail for five months, finally released, then thrown back in on charges of throwing rocks during a demonstration. In jail, he shared a bed with two other boys, was beaten by guards, "it was freezing in winter and in summer we couldn't take showers. Police were rough and pressured us to confess to being supporters of the PKK."According to Kurdish lawyers, children as young as eleven are imprisoned with adults, and denied access to legal counsel. Many are termed the "stone throwing generation" because at some point these children took part in demonstrations. As one Kurdish activist noted, 'when they enter prison, they are just kids, when they leave they are militants."
Turkish law makes not distinction between appearing at a protest and being a militant. If a parent takes their children to a rally, the children from that moment on are now termed to be terrorists! Place children in a jail with hardened militants, and there is scant doubt they will become what they were charged with being–a Kurdish militant.
Ironically, the Turkish government policies of uprooting Kurdish families, ejecting them from their villages, is more alike than different to Israel policy in the West Bank. Exactly, who are the oppressors?

Hi guys...its been a while, but I finally am getting some time to work on my ESB Fett. Most important is that I've finally got the ball rolling on having my jumpsuit made.
That being said, there is a detail on the suit that I am hoping those "in the know" can answer. What is the correct configuration for the fake fabric "belt" on the jumpsuit....the detail on the jumpsuit mid-torso? I've been scouring over the reference pics and the only pics I can find that even show this detail are of the Prepro suit, mainly because the model was so tall. It basically has a double stitch with a slight V taper. The Marmit Fett figure jumpsuit also has this style as well.
Seems that most of the jumpsuit vendors make them with a wide "belt", some with three rows of stitching. I was just wondering, for the ESB, which is more accurate. I'm inclined to say the small double stitch with V taper, but if someone has a good pic that would know for sure, I'd love to get this detail right. A PM would be fine!
Thanks! Rob

Reviews (8)
"great product"
works wonders on fungus and very good for dry skin issues.
"clears skin"
This lotion helped to clear up some itchy spots on my horses chest and belly. It did not work on his tail.
"expensive but good"
Beat product I've used but if your horse has as many skin problems as ours you will go broke buying this product. If we use it liberally as directed we can't get a week out of 1 bottle. But it does a nice job and our horse loves it.
"Best to use"
Been using this since it came out. Best meds on the market for itch problems.
I have used this on various types of fungus, and the results are great - every time. Scabs fall off within and day or so, hair grows back quickly. Also very gentle, unlike other fungus products I've used. A must have during the winter.
"works just like it says!!"
My mare had rain rot on her neck pretty bad and because it was winter I could not bathe her. Then I found this Equiderma lotion. It claimed noticeable results within 24 hours or your money back and no bathing required! Sounded too good to be true, but I decided to try it. I applied it as the directions said and by the next day there were very few scabs( compared to gobs every time I brushed her before) and within a week or so it was virtually all gone! I was so pleased! Unfortunately about this time I discovered many new patches of rain rot all over my mare!:( Again Equiderma to the rescue! I have tried to apply it every other day as the directions instruct, however I havn't been perfectly faithful on that, but it is still going away and my mare only has a few small patches now! I am very pleased with how well this product works and the quick results! I HIGHLY recommend it!
"Great itch relief"
I not only had success treating bald, itchy patches on my horse, but this worked well on a hot spot on one of my dogs' legs. These products are natural and smell good, too.
"Excellent product"
This product worked when nothing else would. My mare had been suffering from a horrible fungus for weeks. Since she was in foal I could not use any of the oral meds that my vet could give her. My poor mare was rubbing herself raw all over her body. I washed her first with the Telesis shampoo and then applied the skin lotion. It was such a relief to not only see my mare stop itching but to see hair start sprouting back within a couple of days.

By Rob Kelly
Lukas Podolski believes Saturday's astonishing 7-3 win over Newcastle at Emirates Stadium was hugely important for Arsenal.
After an inconsistent start to the season, the Gunners have hit form over the Christmas period to rise up to fifth in the table after four successive victories.
The German striker admits it was vital for the team to start stringing together positive results as they challenge for a top-four place during the second half of the campaign.
"We need this run as there are three or four teams at the top [to compete with]," he told Arsenal Player.
"We got the three points [against Newcastle] and for the people around the world watching on TV and those in the stadium it was a great game to watch with 10 goals.
"It was a crazy game. We were in front [three times], then Newcastle got it back, so I was happy to be on the pitch today.
"We must win our matches, and we have now won four in a row. It is important to keep fighting well, look forward to the next game and get the three points."

WaPo: Broadwell sent threatening e-mails to another woman close to Petraeus
posted at 5:17 pm on November 10, 2012 by Allahpundit
So yeah, this is every bit as tawdry and soap opera-ish as you might have suspected.
The collapse of the dazzling career of CIA Director David H. Petraeus was triggered when a woman with whom he was having an affair sent threatening e-mails to another woman close to him, according to three senior law enforcement officials with knowledge of the episode.
The recipient of the e-mails was so frightened that she went to the FBI for protection and help tracking down the sender, according to the officials. The FBI investigation traced the threats to Paula Broadwell, a former military officer and a Petraeus biographer, and uncovered explicit e-mails between Broadwell and Petraeus, the officials said…
The identity of the woman who received the e-mails was not disclosed, and the nature of her relationship with Petraeus is unknown. The law enforcement officials said the e-mails indicated that Broadwell perceived the other woman as a threat to her relationship with Petraeus…
The law enforcement officials did not provide an exact timeline for the investigation, but they said that the inquiry started at least several weeks ago. They said investigators thought they were dealing with a routine harassment case until they discovered the e-mails were traced to a private e-mail account belonging to Petraeus.
Am I reading that last bit right? Broadwell was sending the e-mails from Petraeus's own Gmail account? And yet there are no criminal charges in the offing? Again, the only way I can square that is if he had somehow voluntarily granted her access to that account, presumably as a resource for her writings about him.
A little more on Broadwell from a "senior military source" who spoke to Business Insider. "P4" is, of course, Petraeus:
I've known her for a few years, probably five or six. When she started work on the bio she called me for background on one of the general's previous deployments. I probably gave her four hours or so, and we stayed in touch after that by email and an occasional phone call. Over that time, she went from someone very likeable to a shameless self-promoting prom queen. A very disturbing shift in how she carried herself. If she knew P4 was going to make an appearance at an event, she'd crash it without an invitation (she actually did this at the wedding of some close friends of mine) and photo bomb[ed] sic everyone there.
According to the NYT, the woman who received the threatening e-mails from Broadwell wasn't a family member but she also wasn't a government official. That makes me think the e-mails must have been truly hair-raising. The threshold for the FBI to take up a cyber-harassment case between what at first appeared to be two random private citizens must be high. What did Broadwell say in those e-mails to make the feds take this so seriously?
Update: Good point from the comments:
Yeah, but they didn't arrest Broadwell, so how hair raising could they be?
Even if she doesn't work in government, maybe the woman who received the e-mails has enough status in her own sphere that the FBI felt obliged to take the attempt to harass her seriously.

Revenue and Taxation Code
Other Taxes
Part 5. Vehicle License Fee
Chapter 3. Collections and Refunds
Article 1. Payments
Section 10858
10858. Waivers of penalties to transferees. (a) When a transferee or purchaser of a vehicle applies for transfer of registration, as provided in Section 5902 of the Vehicle Code, and it is determined by the department that vehicle license fee penalties accrued prior to the purchase of the vehicle and that the transferee or purchaser was not cognizant of the nonpayment of the vehicle license fee for the current or prior registration years, the department may waive the vehicle license fee penalties upon payment of the vehicle license fees due.
(b) Other provisions of this code notwithstanding, the Director of Motor Vehicles may, at his discretion, investigate into the circumstances of any application for registration to ascertain if penalties had accrued through no fault or intent of the owner. Provided such circumstances prevail, the director may waive any penalties upon payment of the license fee then due.
(c) When a transferee or purchaser of a vehicle applies for transfer of registration of a vehicle, and it is determined by the department that license fees for the vehicle for any year are unpaid and due, that the fees became due prior to the transfer or purchase of the vehicle by the transferee or purchaser, and that the transferee or purchaser was not cognizant of the fact that the fees were unpaid and due, the department may waive the fees and any penalty thereon when both of the following conditions exist:
(1) The license plate assigned to the vehicle displays a validating device issued by the department, and the validating device contains the year number of the registration year for which the transferee or purchaser is requesting a waiver of fees and penalties.
(2) the transferee or purchaser has submitted to the department the registration card that indicates the vehicle is registered for the registration year indicated on the validating device displayed on the license plate assigned to the vehicle.
(d) Upon the transfer of a vehicle for which license fees and any penalties thereon are unpaid and due, such fees and penalties are, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 2 (commencing with Section 10876), the personal debt of the transferor of the vehicle who did not pay the fees and penalties when they became due or accrued.

Hello from Indianapolis
Hi, I'm Steve from Indy. I've been snowboarding for ~15 years. Last year I bought my 2nd and 3rd boards, because the Rossignol one I was using was ~15 years old. I bought a 180cm Donek Razor softboot carving board first. 11-13m variable sidecut radius, this thing turns very reluctantly, but goddamn does it go fast. I bought it when I weighed 240lbs, and then went and lost 40lbs. Oops
As much fun as the Donek is on the greens and blues, it is very tough to handle (at least untill I get much better with it) on the black runs (I mean the real ones out west, not these blue runs which think they are black runs here in the midwest). So on my way back from Telluride last year I picked up an older (I don't know the year) ~160cm Burton Custom X. It is also a great board, I like it a lot. Unfortunately, being a Burton board, it has a ridiculous proprietary mounting system which does not fit my very old Flows. Not sure of their age either, just that they are quite old, probably 10+ years old. The board has the 3d system, not the channel.
So my quest on the snowboarding forum is to find a pair of base plates that will let me mount my ancient Flows to my not-quite-as-ancient-but-still-old custom x. If that isn't possible, then I will need a new pair of bindings that ideally will be able to fit both boards.
Also at some point I hope to make my old Rossignol into a chair like this:
Thanks for reading!

Hilton Park, County Monaghan
Photograph by Jace Rivers
Danny Madden is not yet six years old, and already he's a dead ringer for his great-great-great-grandfather. I spot this doppelgänger dressed up as a hedgehog shortly after he crawls into Hilton Park's dining room and halts beneath a marble bust of his forebear.
Little Danny marks the tenth generation to have lived at Hilton Park since Samuel Madden snapped up the land in 1734. Like all Big Houses, Hilton Park was built with entertainment in mind. Approached by a mile-long avenue, the three-story sandstone mansion looks like an Italian palazzo stranded in Irish countryside. The house, known locally as "the Castle," achieves much of its aesthetic magnificence from a Victorian porte cochere, topped by a stone carving of the Madden family crest. The present house hails from 1734; John Madden expanded it significantly in the 1870s. The industrious John also dug a 135-foot well on the grounds, from which the Maddens still get their water.
The dining room ceiling is stuccoed with oak leaves and braided ropes, a tribute to an ancestor who sailed with Adm. Horatio Nelson. At dinner, my wife, Ally, and I sit around a Georgian mahogany table with Karl and Sonja, a visiting couple from Germany, and Johnny Madden, the evening's host and grandfather of Danny. A wood fire crackles in a Neapolitan marble fireplace. "My antecedents were great fighters," Johnny says. "Mostly among themselves." His father lost a leg battling the Germans in World War II, he tells us. Karl says his grandfather tried to kill Hitler. It's OK to discuss the war these days.
Johnny is an eloquent speaker, holding court on topics from Buffalo Bill to Justin Bieber to the tribulations of a drunken butler who swayed through this very room 12 decades ago. Stick a powdered wig on Johnny's head, and you might be talking to his ancestor Samuel, who tutored Frederick, Prince of Wales, to become one of the 18th century's greatest patrons of arts and architecture. In recent years, the sheep-grazed fields at Hilton Park have revived that genteel spirit of cultural advocacy by hosting the Flat Lake Literary and Arts Festival, participants of which have included singer Lily Allen, actor Sam Shepard, and the late Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney.
Thousands of teardrop-shaped humps of earth, called drumlins, mark the landscape here in the north of Ireland, left behind by the last ice age. Local soldiers had barely arrived home from World War I when the politicians drew a line through this boggy frontier to delineate the border between Northern Ireland and what would become the Republic of Ireland. For the most part, the Maddens tended to steer clear of politics. "The only government they were concerned with was here at Hilton," says Johnny.
Johnny and his wife, Lucy, handed over the reins of Hilton Park to their only son, Fred, and his wife, Joanna, in 2011. Trained as a chef in London, Fred has elevated the house's culinary reputation with menus like tonight's scallops atop endive, beef fillet with Jerusalem artichoke, and black currant leaf panna cotta.
After dinner we head down a hall with a vintage harmonium along one side and the heads of slain impala on the walls, to the family living room. As we sprawl upon chesterfields, Fred and Joanna talk about the challenges they face to keep Hilton rolling for another generation. Their sense of duty is absolute: The show will go on.
As we head up a staircase of Riga oak to our antiques-filled but not fusty guest room, one of six at Hilton, we pass rows of books. My wife plucks a title from a shelf and reads from the cover: "The Potato Year: 365 Ways of Cooking Potatoes, by Lucy Madden." Samuel Madden may have been a bibliophile, but the present-day Maddens take their love of books one step further. —Turtle Bunbury

Ballyvolane House, County Cork
Photograph by Jace Rivers
"Oh, there have been many lively nights around this table down through the centuries," says our Ballyvolane host, Justin Green, fondly patting the mahogany as dinner is served. My fellow guests at Ballyvolane are a family of five Chinese Americans on a whirlwind tour of Europe in celebration of an important birthday for Kitchi, their matriarch.
The long rays of an Irish summer sunset dapple the red, shamrock-patterned walls of the dining room. Through broad windows, we glimpse Friesian cattle grazing in buttercup-filled meadows and, in a distant haze, the rippling hills of East Cork. "Ballyvolane" translates as "place of the springing heifer" and, sure enough, a young cow performs a dutiful skip.
Originally built for Sir Richard Pyne, a lord chief justice of Ireland, and completed in 1728, the wisteria-draped Ballyvolane got an Italianate makeover in 1847 and is now a flagship of Hidden Ireland, a group of family-owned Irish castles, manors, and mansions that have opened their doors to paying guests. One of the quirky pleasures of Hidden Ireland hospitality is that all guests dine together.
Kitchi's family turn out to be great fun. It's the last night of their grand tour, and the banter runs ceaselessly. We contrast the lives of the Chinese and Irish emigrants who built North America's railroads. We compare Oliver Cromwell's conquest of Ireland with China's Cultural Revolution.
Justin gamely fields questions and spins fresh ones back. Alongside his wife, Jenny, he's racked up nearly 20 years of looking after guests at hotels and resorts in Hong Kong, Dubai, and Bali, before returning to southwest Ireland to take on the family home in 2004. In addition to the six cozy guest rooms in the main house, the Greens offer furnished luxury tents for rent on the estate grounds in summer. This evening, while Justin hosts the table, Jenny is cooking in the kitchen.
Twelve-year-old Toby Green, the eldest of their three children, has already built up an impressive international network of younger Ballyvolane guests. "He has pen pals all over the world," says Justin.
As the evening draws to a close, Kitchi gives her verdict on the trip: "For me, the big highlight has been … feeding the piglets this morning."
The piglets are five saddlebacks that snuffle in a stable adjoining the main house. With their mother and some Muscovy ducks, they are the principal beneficiaries of any excess scraps from the Ballyvolane kitchen.
In fact, the kitchen has vaulted Ballyvolane into the upper ranks of Ireland's places to stay. Homegrown or locally sourced ingredients drive the menus, including the succulent halibut we are eating, recently hooked by a fisherman on the Beara Peninsula. All fruits and vegetables come from a three-acre garden bordered by 14-foot-high sandstone walls. Orderly rows yield asparagus, sea kale, spring onion, rainbow chard, beetroot, and potato. And rhubarb—which Justin so deftly converted into a rhubarb martini when I went for a stroll before dinner, passing under a glorious arch of laburnum that leads to terraced gardens and a croquet lawn with a dovecote at its center. The ground beneath rolls out a seasonal carpet—snowdrops in February, then daffodils, bluebells, rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias over the ensuing months.
The following day, Kitchi tells me she feels as though she has "just stayed with friends." Justin isn't surprised. "The advantage of opening up only a handful of bedrooms is that you can give guests your complete attention," he says.
With that, he sits in front of a Blüthner baby grand and starts playing an old Percy French music hall tune. Silhouetted between Ionic pillars and classic statuary in a hall the color of burnt orange, he's still playing when the next guests arrive. —Turtle Bunbury

Clonalis House, County Roscommon
Photograph by Jace Rivers
It's not the sort of rock you'd ordinarily look at twice. A misshapen chunk of limestone, weighing maybe 300 pounds, sits near the front door of Clonalis House, a 45-room Victorian Italianate villa built in 1878 on a 700-acre wooded estate in northwest Ireland.
But step back a thousand years and this was one of the most important rocks in Ireland. It's the Inauguration Stone, upon which some 30 O'Conor kings were crowned. As kings of Connaught, they ruled over a realm that ran from the Irish midlands to the Atlantic coast. The last "high king" of Ireland was an O'Conor, and should the kingdom of Ireland ever be resurrected, the O'Conor don—the present head of the family—is considered the presumptive claimant to the throne. Pyers O'Conor Nash, the owner of Clonalis, is not the O'Conor don. But his uncle was. This same uncle, a Jesuit priest, bequeathed him Clonalis in 1981.
Pyers eventually left his job as a high-flying Dublin financier to take on full-time management of Clonalis with his wife, Marguerite, and their three children. A grand piano and gilded mirrors in the drawing room provide a taste of the Hibernian opulence echoed in the four guest bedrooms upstairs.
I'm a sucker for ancestral portraits, and I could barely walk a foot along Clonalis's marble-pillared hall without stopping to consider Phelim O'Conor, who perished horribly in battle 700 years ago, or Hugo O'Conor, founder of Tucson, Arizona. "They keep me company when I'm alone," Marguerite confides, as we sit in the library warming ourselves by an ingenious tripartite fireplace, with compartments each for logs and peat.
The O'Conors also maintain a small museum in the house. I expected rather dull land deeds and a few fossilized horseshoes. I didn't expect King Charles I's death warrant, albeit a facsimile, complete with the signature "O. Cromwell." Nor did I anticipate the harp of the celebrated 18th-century blind bard Turlough O'Carolan or a copy of the Old Testament from 1550.
A chapel is tucked into the back of the hall, with the original 18th-century altar where the O'Conors secretly worshipped at a time when practicing Catholicism was a criminal offense.
My guest room turns out to be as spacious as a squash court, with a four-poster at its center fit for royalty. A crystal decanter full of sherry waits upon a walnut desk. The bedroom windows look over the parklands where a solitary Limousin bull roams. In the morning, the glow of the rising sun rebounds off his tan hide and makes me think of a vanished age in which the O'Conors ruled the kingdom of Connaught. —Turtle Bunbury

Huntington Castle, County Carlow
Photograph by Jace Rivers
The pair of Egyptians painted on the door should have given the game away. But I'd passed them several times without noticing the handle. Alex Durdin Robertson pushes the secret door open and turns to me with a mischievous smile. "Come on down."
When you find yourself in a 17th-century castle like Huntington, you're entitled to expect a dungeon, with maybe a few rusty iron chains dangling from the damp stone walls. What you wouldn't necessarily anticipate is a temple dedicated to Isis, the ancient Egyptian goddess of motherhood and fertility.
But that is precisely where Alex has led me. For the next 30 minutes, I amble uncertainly around an incense-scented array of golden centaurs and exotic urns placed alongside zodiac drapes and shrines to the Virgin Mary, Lakshmi, and a host of other feminine icons. "My great-aunt Olivia had a powerful dream that God was a female," explains Alex. "She interpreted it as a vision. My grandfather agreed, and together they set up the Fellowship of Isis in 1976."
Huntington has always had an otherworldly ambience. As family lore goes, just over a hundred years ago, shortly before Olivia's birth, a meteorite fell to earth and landed near the avenue of French lime trees that leads to the Big House. The rock reportedly glowed for weeks, providing a warm perch for crows which, as any Isis devotee will tell you, are the avian messengers of Morrígan, the ancient Irish goddess of battle and strife.
Set in the Slaney Valley at the foot of the Blackstairs Mountains, the Jacobean castle is located just off the main street of the winsome village of Clonegal. Battlements surmount the fairy-tale fortress, topped with a heraldic Irish flag. This was the view that first grabbed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's attention when he zeroed in on Huntington as a location for his 1975 film Barry Lyndon.
The original tower house was built in 1625 for Sir Laurence Esmonde, an ancestor of Alex who was among the most influential landowners in southeast Ireland. He covered the costs by placing a toll on a nearby bridge across the River Derry. And for any troublemakers who didn't want to pay, the dungeon was also his idea.
The Blue Room, where I sleep, features oak paneling, intricately embroidered crewelwork curtains, and a 17th-century four-poster. Change the lightbulb to an oil lamp, and it could be 1625. This is one of just three guest bedrooms, pitched within a warren of creaky corridors, dark alcoves, and zigzag stairwells bedecked in oriental oddities, chain mail suits, and faded tapestries.
Alex pops his head through the dining room door moments after I have forked in the last of my breakfast of scrambled eggs. He's been up for hours, helping his wife, Clare, get their two toddler sons ready for the day ahead.
"Let's go see the champions," he says. I assume he means the potbellied pigs, Boris and Hamlet, both as gray as the turrets above us. But the champs turn out to be over a dozen oak, hickory, and buckeye trees, hailed for girth and height alike. A flock of Lleyn sheep nibble the grass beneath.
As we walk and talk in the arbor, it is clear that for Alex, life is all about his wife, his two sons, and keeping his castle going for another generation. "Inherit, improve, and pass on," he says. "That's the unofficial motto. It's a lot of work, but that's OK if you don't mind working." —Turtle Bunbury

Temple House, County Sligo
Photograph by Jace Rivers
Roderick Perceval occasionally rows his guests out on reed-fringed Temple House Lake for some pike fishing. "We promise lots of enthusiasm but very little expertise," he warns. But the real catch here lies on the banks of the 200-acre lake: the romantic ruins of an 800-year-old castle built by the Knights Templar, rising up through the morning mist like a panorama from Celtic mythology. Behind the lakeside castle stands the remaining gable of a 40-foot tower, its ivy-encrusted walls built in the 14th century. To top it all off, a third ruin wraps around both castle and tower, a redbrick manor built in 1627 for a Catholic family.
The Percevals came into these lands in the northwest of Ireland when an ancestor married into the family 360 years ago. They were part of a closely linked network of families, mostly English in origin, that dominated rural Irish life in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Built in 1820, Georgian-style Temple House is one of the largest in Ireland. Roderick and his wife, Helena, have opened up six rooms to paying guests, including my Castle Room, with its view of the 5,000-year-old megalithic Carrowkeel tombs on a far hilltop, and the appropriately named Half Acre room, with its small annex "where husbands sleep if they've been naughty," suggests Roderick.
Forty-four-year-old Roderick has lived at Temple House and its thousand-acre estate most of his life. His sense of ease is contagious. He urges visitors to treat the Big House as if it were their own, so I do. I roam around the farm buildings, meadows, gardens, and ruins. The Atlantic Ocean draws surfers to its shores just nine miles from here. County Sligo's pastoral idyll especially inspired poet W. B. Yeats, who immortalized this part of Ireland in poems like "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" and the play The Land of Heart's Desire. In the evening light, the Temple House trees appear at their best, particularly a copse of beech planted in 1798. Roderick regularly adds new saplings. "Every generation has to leave its mark," he says.
If he needs a hand on the farm, Roderick sometimes invites guests to help. During lambing season, some visitors have found themselves out in the fields in Wellington boots, ushering sheep from one pasture to another.
After asking "Have you ever had a falcon land on your hand?" Roderick sends me to an eagle sanctuary on the edge of the estate. "Life is never quite the same again afterwards," he says. I'm treated to an hour-long flying demonstration by regal eagles and owls. The falcon sweeps by my outstretched arm and opts instead for the hand of a teenage boy whose eyes duly widen. —Turtle Bunbury

The teachers and Headteachers in the United Kingdom have a right to hold their heads high because they defied government bureaucrats and did what was best for children. Headteachers refused to administer this year's Sat tests on grounds to do so would further efforts by government bureaucrats to demean the children of Great Britain. In Camberly, the Headteachers sent a letter to parents: "We have no objection to testing and assessing children, but firmly believe that this should be done at a time, in a place and in a manner that is right for the child and that testing should underpin teacher judgment, not override it." The National Union of Teachers overwhelmingly supported this decision. Children will be given a past Sat test and the results will be shared with parents, but not used to determine a grade. This year's test will be locked up.
The teachers and headmasters of England have a right to be proud. As a teacher of fifty years experience who has taught over 12,000 teachers and students, I applaud the bravery and commitment to children of British teachers. A teacher who works for a 185 days or more with children is the best evaluator of that child's progress. The purpose of testing should be to assist teachers in gaining new knowledge as to how to improve teaching and learning. Why else test a child?

A little to-do list hack that helps you get stuff done
Neville Medhora
October 17, 2012
I'm lazy and this is how I get stuff done.
I've always been obsessive about the way I keep simple to-do lists for the day, and I used to change my methods more often than Lady Gaga changes outfits.
But for about 4 years now I've used the same to-do list method which seems to work really well for me.
It's simply a pen and paper ... and I'll shut up now and you can see it live:
BY THE WAY: I only plan my tasks the day before. I rarely ever add on work for the same day (this is how I stay sane).
Here's a sample of my to-do list. Notice where I draw all the lines:
It's Wednesday now ... and maybe if you're dreading Thursday a bit, you can plan out your day the same way I do. It might work for you, it might not.
Give it a try and see if it boosts your productivity. :-)
If you have a friend who slacks a lot, send this to them also.
Comment below with your to-do list hacks.

...is a rock band disguised as a string quartet.
...combines visionary arrangements of rock songs, virtuosic skill and rock & roll attitude in shattering the conventional perception of the string quartet.
...has played on hundreds of recordings including hits by Foo Fighters, Aerosmith, Dr. Dre, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Adams, Kanye West, Snow Patrol, Band of Horses & more.
...brings decades of classical training, a love of rock music, and creativity in the recording process to result in a sound that is unique: human & organic with a modern edge
The Section Quartet's critically acclaimed album FUZZBOX (Decca) includes strikingly re-imagined tracks by Radiohead (Paranoid Android), Muse (Time Is Running Out), The Postal Service (Such Great Heights) and more. The ever-expanding live repertoire includes full-album performances of Radiohead's OK Computer and The Bends, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Elliot Smith's Either/Or.
The Section Quartet's debut as film composers came with Drew Barrymore's directorial debut WHIP IT, starring Ellen Page. As scoring composer/performers, The Section Quartet expands on their acoustic sound by using extended performance and recording techniques together with the use of effects processing not typically applied to string instruments.
Working together as a team for over twelve years, The Section Quartet has built a reputation as a tight musical ensemble; easy to work with and fast in the studio. Whether providing arrangements, playing charts by others or improvising as a group, The Section Quartet has played hundreds of sessions and TV appearances, including Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman and Hope for Haiti Now telethon.
The Section Quartet travels to schools all over the United States armed with the philosophy that the instrument you play doesn't have to dictate the type of music you make. The Section Quartet's interactive coaching methods encourage string students to find their own musical voice, kickstart their creativity and reignite their passion for orchestra. The one-day workshop culminates with a full show by The Section Quartet featuring collaborations with the school string orchestra.

He might even have asked me to be a moderator a few dozen times, but I told him that I far too busy teaching cripple children and saving kittens from trees. But I told him if I ever turned EVIL that I would be glad to be a moderator.
