No indeed! If he does not stop, We will grab him by the forelock, a lying, sinful forelock. (Qur'an, 96:15-16)
The expression "the lying, sinful forelock" in the above verse is most interesting. Research carried out in recent years has revealed that the prefrontal area, which is responsible for the management of particular functions of the brain, lies in the frontal part of the skull. Scientists only discovered the functions of this area, which the Qur'an pointed out 1,400 years ago, in the last 60 years. If we look inside to the brain at the front of the head, we will find the frontal area of the cerebrum. A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, which includes the results of the latest research on the functions of this area, says:
The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a region of association cortex…63
The book also says:
In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center for aggression…64
So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivation, and initiating good and sinful behaviour, and is responsible for telling lies and the truth.
It is clear that the statement "the lying, sinful forelock" corresponds completely to the above explanations. Again, this fact which scientists have only discovered in the last 60 years, was stated by Allah in the Qur'an centuries ago.

I discovered that we have a staff member with a birthday today. That probably doesn't sound too special because if you remember anything from first year statistics at uni, you'll know it only takes a room of 20 or 30 people to have a pretty high chance of two of them having the same birthday (see the birthday problem on Wikipedia if you like probability theory).

But it gets better. The person whose birthday it is today here, is turning 12 plus 12 plus 12 years old. Now that is cool: turning 12+12+12 on the 12/12/12! I'm not sure whether or not this means the person will self-destruct with all those twelves. Whatever it means, today is the last time this century that the day, month and year will align in numbers, which seemed reason enough to write a blog post celebrating this auspicious date, and to publish it at exactly 12:12 PM.

Editors' Review+
by: Seth Rosenblatt on March 21, 2011
Editors' note: Mozilla released version 5 of Firefox on June 21, 2011. The updates are incremental and largely invisible to users. As such, most of this review is taken from our original Firefox 4 review (as is the video, which is still applicable). As we continue to test and use Firefox 5, we will update the review with any new information.
The bottom line: Firefox 5 is a worthy expression of Mozilla's ideals. The browser is competitively fast, sports a new minimalist look, and includes some excellently executed features. Unfortunately, that describes most of Firefox's competition, too.
Firefox 5 had a rough time in its early development, but those days are over. The browser that you can download now is in the same speed category as its competition; offers many similar features (stronger in many areas and slightly weaker in others); includes broad, cross-platform support for hardware acceleration and other "future-Web" tech and standards; and is a must-have for Android users.
Installing Firefox 5 was a fine, quick experience. Beta users, who toiled for 10 months using betas of varying stability and quality, might be disappointed that Firefox 5 doesn't clean up the beta detritus left behind. That's the cost of using a beta, though.
Firefox 5 does not include automatic updating the way that Opera and Chrome do, although checking out the About option under Help in the menu will automatically start updates downloading, and then ask you to apply them. Firefox 5 has gotten significantly faster at restarting, and the process that used to take several minutes this time took less than a minute on our test computers. Note that this is for updates after you've already installed Firefox 5. Updating from version 3.6 to version 4 is likely to take several minutes, because of the significant code changes that have been made.
Careful Firefox observers will notice that the browser no longer ships with a separate icon for Safe Mode. Simply hold down Shift; when you click on the Firefox icon to open a box you will be allowed to customize which settings carry over to Safe Mode.
Firefox automatically installs a Windows 7 taskbar icon if you choose it as your default browser. Uninstalling the browser does not leave behind any icons or folders if you choose to remove your settings at the same time.
If you're a big Firefox fan, you'd better hope that you're either not very attached to the version 3.6 look or you're extremely taken by the new design. Firefox 5's main interface is completely different from what's come before, retaining only the larger back button that debuted in version 3. Not surprisingly, the new design also brings the browser significantly closer to the minimalist style first adopted by Google Chrome in 2008, although it looks most similar to Opera 11.
The menu bar has been squished into an orange button on the upper left, with menu options spread across two columns. Nearly all the submenus have been redesigned as well, although the hot keys remain the same, so the learning curve isn't particularly steep. In fact, the menu redesign makes it much easier to get to bookmarks, add-ons, and history, as they now all live on one menu pane. The menu button is not available to Mac users.
Besides the major changes to the menu, smaller changes have greatly improved usability. For example, there's now a Get Bookmark Add-ons link in the Bookmarks submenu. The History submenu now has Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows sections.
Tabs are now on top by default, and while the forward and back navigation buttons haven't moved, the stop and refresh buttons are now attached to the right side of the location bar, next to the bookmark star. When you're typing a URL, the "Go" button appears in green. While resolving a URL, the box changes from the "Go" arrow to an "X" for the new Stop button, and the green changes to red. The visual cues are minor but help to highlight their new location in the interface. Returning the Stop and Refresh buttons to their Firefox 3.6 locations can be done via the Customize option. What little color remained in the default interface, mostly the green Back button, has been leeched out for a muted gray. You can customize the Firefox skin with the restartless Personas add-ons, added in Firefox 3.6.
Right of the location bar lives the traditional search box, with its drop-down list of search engines. Above that on the tab bar there is a new button that lists all your open tabs, and you can add a button to access the Tab Groups feature. For some reason, the final version of Firefox 5 doesn't ship with the button by default, although the betas often did. You can add the button by right-clicking on the interface and choosing Customize, then dragging and dropping the Tab Groups icon next to the List All Tabs button. We don't consider many customizations to be essential, but this one is.
The Status bar that lives at the bottom of the interface is now hidden by default, again in keeping with the minimalist philosophy and the competition. There's a new Add-on bar as well, also hidden by default, to which extension icons can be added if you want to keep add-on icons easily available but out of the way of the main interface.
One of Firefox's singular strengths is its capacity for customization, which remains unparalleled, and is accessible even to novice users. While the competition does offer add-ons and extensions, Firefox remains far ahead of all of them in interface customization.
Features and support
Firefox 5's features are robust and generally competitive. There is some minor functionality missing in a few cases where the browser remains behind the competition, but Firefox is generally one of the most progressive major browsers available, an early adopter if not always an innovator.
The most important new feature in Firefox 5 is Sync. As with many recent Firefox features, it started off as a rough add-on, and often deleted data. If you were scared off by its early bad behavior, you'll be glad to know that Mozilla has worked out the kinks: Sync now smoothly syncs your Bookmarks, Passwords, Preferences, History, and Tabs not only with other computers, but also with your Android version of Firefox.
To use it, click on the Menu button and choose Set Up Sync from the left column. That will take you to a window where you can connect an existing Firefox Sync account or create a new one. Within Firefox Sync, there are two important security points. One is that Firefox encrypts your data before sending it over an encrypted connection to its servers, where it remains encrypted. Mozilla says that the company would not be able to access it even if somebody there wanted to. The second is that you have the option of setting up your own personal sync server. In an age when private data stored by corporations gets hacked and stolen with shocking regularity, setting up a personal sync server is one way to ensure that you bear the responsibility for your own data.
Another big feature in Firefox 5 is support for restartless add-ons. These add-ons are written differently from standard Firefox add-ons, and are expected to become the format for add-ons in the future. As such, not many restartless add-ons exist--only about 115 at the time of writing this review, compared with the thousands of "standard" add-ons. This will continue to pose a big problem for Mozilla, as older add-ons become a bottleneck for Firefox that other browsers, with their newer add-on frameworks, don't have to manage.
Firefox 5's add-on manager has been completely overhauled, and now includes support for the aforementioned restartless add-ons. There's a lot of useful new technology here, as compared with the version 3.6 add-on manager. Not only can you search for add-ons from within the add-on window using the search box in the upper right corner, you can add them without having to jump to the external Mozilla Add-on Web site, also known as AMO. The manager calls out the AMO add-on collections, which you can create more explicitly in the Get Add-ons tab. The add-on manager also allows you to browse Personas, the restartless Firefox themes. It's slightly annoying that clicking on an add-on group or collection opens the page in a new browser window, whereas clicking on a specific add-on opens that add-on's download page within the add-on manager. That's a very minor criticism, though.
Other changes to the add-on manager include forward and back buttons specific to the manager, in the upper left corner, and left-side navigation tabs for specifically focusing on Extensions, Appearance, and Plug-ins. Meanwhile, two little improvements to the manager will impress keyboard junkies. There's a new hot key for pulling up the add-on manager, Control-Shift-A, and you can type about:addons directly into the location bar to access the add-ons manager in a tab.
The tab-grouping feature seems to be suffering a bit of an identity crisis, though its functionality is untouched. Originally called Tab Candy, then renamed Panorama, and now known as Tab Groups, it presents your tabs as an array of thumbnail images. The thumbnails reside in rectangular boxes that constitute a group. Tabs can be dragged from one group to another, and groups can be named and moved as well. You can add a tab to an existing group or create a new group by right-clicking on the tab and choosing Move to Group. The hot-key combo Control-Shift-E will also jump between the main interface and the Tab Group window.
The overall idea is to make it easier to switch from one tab to another, to group or regroup related tabs, and to get a global view of what's going on with your tabs. It's potentially a big improvement in browser usage, compared with aiming a mouse at an ever-skinnier tab, cycling through a list with alt-tab keystrokes, or pecking at a drop-down menu to reach the tabs that overflowed off the deep.
The bookmarks and history menus have been redesigned, and now the hot keys open them by default as sidebars. Go through the Menu button to get the full menus. We were actually quite impressed with the layout of the menu button options for bookmarks and history, finding it much more useful with quick access to recently closed tabs and new bookmark tags. This is probably the most useful in-browser bookmark manager around, especially if you enable Sync and use it with your Android phone or tablet.
Firefox 5 supports App Tabs, which reduces the width of a tab to its favicon and pins the tab permanently on the left. The tab will glow when updated, a useful indicator for things like Web mail. And when you start typing into the location bar, one of the search choices will be related open tabs so that you can quickly switch to an existing tab.
There's a decent list of other, smaller changes to Firefox that are worth pointing out because they'll enhance your work flow in the browser. One of these is Switch to Tab. Open a new tab, start typing the name of an already-open tab, and the URL will appear in the drop-down with "Switch to Tab" beneath it. Select that one, and the new tab closes and you're whisked to the preexisting tab. It's a great trick for cutting down on the amount of time it takes to sift through 45 open tabs, and removes the chance of having the same tab accidentally open twice, or more.
The location bar, or as Mozilla calls it, the Awesome Bar, retains the features introduced in Firefox 3.5, such as the options to search your history and bookmarks and to tap your default search engine to provide you with quick results. However, the "feeling lucky" instant jump to what it thinks is the Web site you're most likely to be looking for has been disabled because of internal Mozilla concerns about accidentally sending personal information to the search provider.
Private browsing reflects the browser's faster start-up and shutdown times so that it jumps between standard browsing and Private Browsing mode significantly faster than in version 3.6.
The new Do Not Track feature indicates via a header notification that you want to opt out of targeted advertisements. However, it requires that the Web site you're viewing, and therefore that site's developers, respect the header itself. While this is great for future-proofing the Web, as implemented at the time of writing, not many Web sites have taken notice of it. While that doesn't mean it won't eventually have a big impact, that time is not now, and it's better to install an add-on like AdBlock Plus to get more complete ad-tracking protection.
There are two smaller yet important changes to the way that Firefox protects you. One is the implementation of the Content Security Policy, which is designed to block one of the most common types of browser threats, cross-site scripting attacks, by allowing sites to tell the browser which content is legitimate. Though CSP also places the burden on the site developers, it's backward-compatible and aimed mostly at well-known sites hosting immense volumes of data and content.
Another security improvement is the implementation of HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). This prevents your log-in information from being intercepted by telling Firefox to automatically create a secure connection to a site's servers.
The new feature set alone makes it worth upgrading to the latest version of Firefox. While some older Firefox users may feel that these features add unnecessary bloat to a browser that offers add-ons specifically so that you can customize your browsing experience, Firefox 5 is actually dramatically faster than Firefox 3.6. We address the browser's behavior in the section below.
As mentioned earlier, Firefox 5's performance has been greatly improved by the addition of graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware acceleration. It allows the browser to shove certain rendering tasks onto the computer's graphics card, freeing up CPU resources while making page rendering and animations load faster. These tasks include composition support, rendering support, and desktop compositing.
One interesting publicly available benchmark is the new JSGameBench from Facebook, which looks to test HTML5 in real-world gaming situations. The Firefox 5 beta was the fastest tested without WebGL, and was the second fastest with it.
Note that to effectively use hardware acceleration, you must make sure that your graphics card drivers are up-to-date.
In hands-on experiences, one of the best performance differences between Firefox 3.6 and the current version is that Firefox 5 crashes far, far less. That's due in no small part to improvements made to the plug-in crash protection, which prevents plug-ins like Adobe Flash, Apple QuickTime, and Microsoft Silverlight from dropping the browser dead. If one of them crashes, simply reload the page.
Definitely a worthy heir to the Firefox name, Firefox 5's one drawback is that, like its competitors, it uses massive amounts of RAM. Don't expect that to change as the browser is relied upon to perform more and more tasks that once occurred in other programs. It will also be less of a problem as hardware improves.
Firefox 5 faces a challenging field of competition. Some people have probably abandoned the browser for the significant speed differences between version 3.6 and Google Chrome. However, the competition has forced Mozilla and others to put out better browsers in order to thrive. Firefox 5 is arguably the best browser on the market today.

About the Department
Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field in which scientists
investigate the full spectrum of structure and function in the brain.
Scientists with interests ranging from the microscopic structure of the
neuron and its biochemical processes to the macroscopic organization of
the brain and its relation to emotions, cognitions, and behavior work
together toward a common goal to provide answers to our most pressing
personal and societal problems. Presently, neuroscience is the fastest
growing area in basic scientific research. To acknowledge the importance
of neuroscience and its rapid growth, Congress declared the 1990s as
the Decade of the Brain, challenging researchers to be more aggressive
and creative in their important work.
Neuroscientists capitalize on this diversity of disciplinary
approaches to enrich their own perspective on a particular problem. This
interdisciplinary team philosophy enlivens discussion and often results
in exciting and novel approaches to research problems. The nervous
system and its relationship to behavior and mental processes presents
many complex problems for investigators to explore. We believe a
multifaceted approach provides the best strategy for understanding a
subject as complex as the brain. The Interdisciplinary Neuroscience
Major offered by Muskingum University is designed to provide the
undergraduate neuroscience student a basic core of courses which serve
as the foundation for common seminar experiences and advanced research
opportunities with the neuroscience faculty. The student becomes a part
of the team and engages in scientific inquiry rarely experienced by
undergraduate students.
The neuroscience major would be an appropriate choice for
anyone interested in a psychiatric health-care career including general
medicine or nursing, but especially psychiatry, pharmacology,
psychiatric nursing, clinical psychology, or cognitive rehabilitation.
This major would also provide a good undergraduate foundation for
further training in a graduate program in neuroscience or psychobiology.
Additionally, majoring in neuroscience at Muskingum University would also
provide a solid college education in the finest Liberal Arts tradition
for any individual interested in understanding the human condition and
their place in the world, regardless of career aspirations.
The major consists of three components. In the Basic Science Core, students are provided a grounding in the physical, life, behavioral, and computational sciences. In the Neuroscience Core,
students gain an in-depth understanding of brain organization and
function. They do so in a combination of formal lecture and laboratory
courses, informal seminar experiences, participation in an
international forum on the brain (the annual meeting of the Society For
Neuroscience), and the conduct of a year-long individual research
project which serves as the capstone for their undergraduate experience.
In the Neuroscience Distribution component, students can
individualize and fine-tune their program by selecting from a group of
specialty courses designed to provide either a behavioral, cognitive,
computational, or molecular flavor to the basic major.

Horrible Cough While Pregnant, What Can I Take?
I am currently 21 weeks pregnant with my third and I have had a horrible cough for the past week. The cough gets so bad that it causes me to throw up once a day (usually first thing in the morning). Is there anything I can take or do to help this? Thank you!

Do you think you have pertussis? Have you seen a physician? If it is making you throw up and has been going on, that sounds pretty serious.
There are several over the counter meds that are suitable for pregnant women, as well as prescriptions. I would recommend discussing the risks vs. benefits with your care provider. You should definitely go in for a checkup.
In the meantime, drink plenty of liquids and try using a vaporizer, adding medicated vapor remedies like menthol or eucaplytus may help also. Echinacea tea is safe during pregnancy and may help to reduce the length of symptoms.
Hope you are feeling better soon!

If the GP says no infection then a homeopath may prescribe "toasta spongia" and its amazing for coughs.
Homeopathy is usually very safe in pregnancy.

Adding to Shamrock vs. Freeman, UCFC 5 just got a whole lot bigger:
Neil Wain vs. Ricco Rodriguez, Darren Towler vs. Colin Robinson and Neil Grove also signed to fight.
Adding to Shamrock vs. Freeman, UCFC 5 just got a whole lot bigger:
Neil Wain vs. Ricco Rodriguez, Darren Towler vs. Colin Robinson and Neil Grove also signed to fight.
UCFC now has to sell out the entire stadium surely. I know Neil Wain and Darren Towler do well support wise but I wouldn't imagine Robinson and Rodriguez will make people want to go, Robinson is another easy fight for Towler. Towler vs Wain would have been a good fight also.
Intrigued as to who the rest of the card will feature.
Aye, that ain't gonna be cheap, especially with Grove vs Thompson added! Probably Donny's biggest ticket seller in Scott Askham is signed to BAMMA so looks like he won't be on there. It's ambitious, but I'm sure they've taken it all into consideration and I hope they can pull it off!
The card is stacked. All fights are signed and under contract (been confirmed by promoter)
I will be there 1 way or another. A huge night for UK MMA.
I'm no gynecologist but I know a cunt when I see one.
wain vs towler would be good cracking fight hopefully promoter will put the winners of each fight together next event
Wain would KO Towler early IMO.
I've just been given some info on this card and the show is definitely not finished with heavyweight and another good fight is to be announced... There's also two other names that have big show experience to be announced... If all this comes off it could be the best card that the domestic shore has seen.
Owner of @LOVE2FIGHTmag, student of BKK Fighters & PR for WFS: Warrior Fight Series
Rodriguez's recent legal problems don't stop him from travelling internationally I take it.

Altuzarra Fall 2013
The Manhattan fall runways of the city's brightest young things seem to have been invaded by a race of Amazonian superheroines, with broad shoulders and nipped-in waists that evoke an eighties Mugler-esque vision of the comic-strip fifties.
Joseph Altuzarra's vision was a strikingly bold and beautiful take on the look, his graphic clothes—in a restrained tonal palette—an exercise in silhouette and elaborate construction. "In the past, we've had these really fantastical journeys," he explained backstage. "This season, the idea was going back to the street—to a purity of line. If you take away print and embroidery, you have to challenge yourself a bit more on the cut."
To emphasize that cut, Altuzarra used bonded fabrics with a scuba hand, and a leatherette that he admired for its uncrushable, pristine perfection. He also avoided topstitching, so that the parabolic seams that eddied round the body of his curvaceous suits and dresses left the surfaces as smooth as possible.
Altuzarra opened his show with what he dubbed "fetishized corporate uniforms," shapely eighties power-suit jackets with important shoulders, tiny waists, peplums padded out to New Look dimensions, and buttons as big and reflective as the mirror in a compact. Tiny little boleros that resembled chopped-off trench coats or biker jackets made the shoulder line even more emphatic.
Simpler jersey pieces, meanwhile, were weighted with steel stud trim at the hems and had an echo of early Alaïa to them, and there was a crazy glamour to the black-and-white fox, pieced to resemble skunk, that was used for boxy coats or cartoonishly overscaled mittens.
Mods met Teddy Girls in the clash of the "biker jacket" dresses worn with black-and-white-check ankle boots, but that Mugler-esque va-va-voom returned for the finale pieces, with mink used to outline a portrait neckline, and pattern blocks of black and white to emphasize the body divine.

The April 15 tax deadline may have passed, but the identity protection program continues protecting Hoosiers from identity theft and the state from tax fraud. The Indiana Department of Revenue has stopped more than $4.3 million in attempted identity theft as of May 7.
The department will now begin to investigate each uncompleted Identity Confirmation Quiz that has surpassed the allotted time to be taken.
The department suspects it will find a large amount of identity theft in the uncompleted Identity Confirmation Quizzes because identity thieves are unlikely to take the quiz. Therefore, a high percentage of the returns will likely be fraudulent. When reviewing the returns, the department also will look for patterns amongst fraudulent cases.
Identity thieves don't stop just because tax season is over. The department wants all Hoosiers to protect their personal information year-round. Remember, identity theft criminals search for victims' information in many places including:
Review more identity protection tips at www.in.gov/dor/5064.htm. Hoosiers also can visit the department's Stop ID Theft website or use the Indiana Attorney General's ID Theft Prevention Toolkit to further protect their identities.

B-Cycle expands South Side reach
Updated 1:25 pm, Tuesday, November 20, 2012
San Antonio's newest B-Cycle bike sharing stations opened Friday at six new locations around South San Antonio.
The new stations — located at Roosevelt Park, Concepcion Park, Mission Concepcion, Mission Road Street Connection, VFW River Trail Access and Mission San Jose — provide yet another way for residents and visitors to explore the ever-expanding Mission Reach and the San Antonio missions.
Mayor Julian Castro said San Antonio has a vibrant cycling community, and hopes to make the city the friendliest city for cyclists in the nation. "We want to create a fitness culture in the city so we have folks making the decision to be healthy," he said. "We are very proud to be the first city in Texas to adopt this sort of bike share program."
Bob Burns, a 17-year veteran of the cycling industry and CEO of B-Cycle said the company has locations in 14 cities nationwide. "Using a bike sharing system is easy," he said.
Burns explained that bike sharing systems help bring bicycle infrastructure to life, and contributes to healthier and more environmentally beneficial lifestyles.
News Channel
He said since B-Cycle came to San Antonio 64,000 trips have been logged, accounting for around 164,000 miles traveled.
Julia Diana, special projects manager for San Antonio's office of sustainability, said B-Cycle now boasts 30 locations throughout the city and about 280 bikes.
Diana added San Antonio is now the second-largest B-Cycle city in the U.S., behind only Denver.
B-Cycle memberships, required for equipment use, can be purchased on a daily, weekly or annual basis for $10, $24 and $60 respectively. Students and seniors can get discounts, according to B-Cycle's website.
The only stipulation is that the rented bikes must be docked every 30 minutes.

Flaming Lips release Pink Floyd companion piece
Listen to The Flaming Lips on iHeartRadio | Listen to Pink Floyd on iHeartRadio
The Flaming Lips are offering up a new twist on Pink Floyd's classic 1973 album, Dark Side Of The Moon.
The Oklahoma City-based band has digitally released what they're calling an "immersive companion piece" to the 41-year-old album called, Flaming Side Of The Moon. The group is encouraging listeners to listen to the new album while listening to Dark Side Of The Moon at the same time.
Played on its own, Flaming Side Of The Moon is instrumental in style, featuring sound effects and chord changes the Flaming Lips say were inspired by the Pink Floyd album. The group also says Flaming Side was "carefully crafted to sync up perfectly with the 1939 movie classic The Wizard Of Oz.
The Flaming Lips previously released a full covers album of Dark Side Of The Moon in 2009. Available now through various digital outlets, the band says it will also make 100 limited edition vinyl copies of Flaming Side Of The Moon available to family and friends.

Son of Deceased East Atlanta High School Principal Pleads Guilty to Stealing $53K from the Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia
Yesterday, Eugene B. Wimby, Jr. pleaded guilty to 14 felony counts of Theft by Taking (O.C.G.A. § 16-8-2) for fraudulently collecting his father's retirement benefits from the Teachers' Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) after his father's death.
Wimby, Jr. is the son of TRS retiree and former principal of
Wimby, Jr. failed to disclose his father's death on September 26, 2008 to TRS, and between October 2008 and November 2009, Wimby, Jr. stole $53,525.95 in TRS funds from Wimby, Sr.'s checking account. He accomplished the theft by transferring the TRS funds into his own checking or business accounts or by directly withdrawing the funds. TRS continued paying retirement benefits until it discovered Sr.'s death in November 2009 via a mortality report.
Judge Karen Woodson sentenced Wimby, Jr., under the First Offender Act, to three years to serve 120 days in custody. Judge Woodson commuted the 120 days to time he had already served and ordered the balance to be served on probation. As a special condition of probation, the court ordered the defendant to pay $49,829.13 restitution to TRS, which the defendant paid in full at the time of the plea. After three months, the balance of his sentence will be suspended on the condition that he commit no further violations of the law.
Assistant Attorney General Shepard Orlow prosecuted the case on behalf of the State of

For me in MMA, it's got to be:
A Silva
Thaigo Alves
Jose Aldo
I also think Alan Belcher's Thai is promising; it seems to get better with each fight.
no he doesnt but we digressed off the path as mentioned that MMA 'striking' is different to Muay Thai - in fact a lot of 'muay thai' teachers even in this country dont understand what real muay thai is - or especially the scoring techniques - just because Joe Rogan says they have great MT isnt gospel ;-)
- but those are arguments for another time
who uses 'some' muay thai techniques in MMA is prob a better question...
but anyway
Kaobon guys look sharp (great thai heritage in Colin)
Daley - great elbows as well as his dangerous hands
also liked how Scott Jansens elbows were being used in his last UCUK fight.... working with Alan (Keddle) not unsurprising

That's the fight, don't know if you can see it without being a 'friend'??

Thomas Cleaning
Thomas Cleaning has been running for 27 years and we clean around 300 homes a day, with lots of offices, schools, and surgeries, etc.. We use our own materials and equipment and do all the normal things re cleaning, but can include ironing, inside windows, ovens, etc...and of course we're happy to use your products should you prefer. All our lovely staff are full time employees and we're insured, uniformed, trained and supervised. We generally work in teams of three so we're in and out with the minimum of fuss. So for example a 3 hour clean would entail the cleaners doing 1 hour each, making a combined cleaning total of 3 hours. The cleaning would be on the same day each week, and our system will send you an email the night before, giving the estimated arrival time for the following day...and we can accommodate immediate starts. It's purely business, there's no awkwardness on your part, no necessity for polite chit chat or cups of tea, there's no slinking off 5 or 10 minutes early; you tell us what you want and we jump.! You say how many hours you want, there's no contract, and of course you can add or subtract hours as you wish. We'd love to help, so if there's anything that I haven't covered please don't hesitate to contact. We're purely here for you and not at all prissy about taking instruction.

Mary Katrantzou Spring 2012
Mary Katrantzou spent every night this summer swimming in pixels, the infinitely fluid medium of computer-generated color she used "to paint" her swirling worlds of print. During her long nights in front of the screen, she encountered the crushed-car sculptures of the American artist John Chamberlain, looked at tin-can labels, hovered over pictures of tropical fish, and found fields of daisies and tulips online. "I couldn't do trompe l'oeil again," she said. "So I was thinking—what would it be like if I mixed something metallic with florals? I've never touched the natural world before."
The marvel, of course, is how Katrantzou can even begin to mold all those complex components into anything resembling clothes, but she does, shaping those brilliantly patterned computer printouts into an increasingly broad range of clothing options. As a young designer, her clothes are hardly familiar in the mass sense, but enough of the lampshade and fishbowl skirts from her last two collections have been photographed editorially for Katrantzou's signature to have become unmistakable. That meant she needed to move out of home furnishing themes and onto something more abstract in order to prove to herself (as well as the audience that avidly follows her) that she could successfully take on new, unexpected kinds of clothing like tailored pantsuits, floaty chiffon, and more of the knitwear she started last season.
In the beginning, she mapped the body with a few of the structured sheath dresses she's known for, this season with trailing half-trains and asymmetric necklines. As she moved into knitwear, the eye-tricking effects became more surprising; there were spirals of stars and flowers with overlays of reflective Mylar, and then there were the pantsuits comprised of flowers set out in multicolored horizontal bands from head to toe.
Within all this, Katrantzou nailed cocktail and event wear, the allover print mania of the season, the use of iridescence, and the long/short silhouette—all of which are the emerging ideas which, thus far, typify spring 2012. But, funnily enough, it was her simpler, less structured pieces that somehow grabbed the attention over the obvious red-carpet contenders in this collection. When a fish-printed top with a train and georgette sleeves worn over skinny trousers passed by, it was a modern, easy breath of fresh air. The truth is that Katrantzou can do "concept," but she's also just as interested in making wearable variations on her themes. Everyone who slipped backstage passed by a table stacked with glistening jacquard sweaters and pull-on skirts—just a few examples of the easy-to-wear items that have grown out of Mary Katrantzou's phenomenally professional ambition to make both art and the accessible.

Rihanna & Chris Brown: Off again?
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio | Listen to Chris Brown on iHeartRadio
So just what exactly is the status of Rihanna and Chris Brown's relationship today?
Rumors continue to swirl that the superstar couple has called it quits (again). A source close to the duo has told E! News it's a done deal, they're really broken up. That same source says the split had more to do with demanding schedules than anything else.
Both Rihanna and Brown have been spotted out on the town since word of the big breakup. Rihanna was caught lighting something up in a Hollywood club early yesterday morning, accompanied by an assistant and security. Chris Brown meanwhile, was in New York City over the weekend in the company of a mystery blonde.

Genoa midfielder Juraj Kucka faces a long spell on the sidelines after rupturing knee ligaments in Sunday's Serie A defeat to Cagliari.
Kucka was forced off on the hour-mark at Stadio Sant'Elia in a 2-1 defeat that left Genoa in eighth place in the Italian top flight.
The Slovakia international is likely to be sidelined for at least six months as he prepares to start his rehabilitation.
A club statement read: "Juraj Kucka has undergone diagnostic tests, an MRI showed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee."
Kucka has made 12 appearances for Genoa this term, scoring twice, but is now unlikely to feature until next season.
His absence will come as a blow to Gian Piero Gasperini, who had led Genoa to five games without defeat before Sunday's loss.

Brachytherapy is a procedure to implant radioactive seeds (pellets) into the prostate gland to kill prostate cancer cells. They may give off high or low amounts of radiation.
Implant therapy - prostate cancer; Radioactive seed placement; Internal radiation therapy - prostate
Brachytherapy takes 30 minutes or more, depending on the type of therapy you have. Before the procedure, you will be given medicine so that you do not feel pain. You may receive:
After you receive anesthesia:
Types of brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is often used for men with a small prostate cancer that is found early and is slow-growing. Brachytherapy has fewer complications and side effects than standard radiation therapy. You will also need fewer visits with the doctor.
Risks of any anesthesia are:
Risks of any surgery are:
Risks of this procedure are:
Tell your doctor or nurse what medicines you are taking. These include medicines, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
Before this procedure:
On the day of the procedure:
You may be sleepy and have mild pain and tenderness after the procedure.
After an outpatient procedure, you can go home as soon as the anesthesia wears off. In rare cases, you will need to spend 1 - 2 days in the hospital. If you stay in the hospital, your visitors will need to follow special radiation safety precautions.
If you have a permanent implant, your doctor may tell you to limit the amount of time you spend around children and women who are pregnant. After a few weeks to months, the radiation is gone and will not cause any harm. Because of this, there is no need to take out the seeds.
Most people remain cancer-free or their cancer is in good control for many years after this treatment. Urinary and rectal symptoms may last for months.

text: I'm going rifle elk hunting with my .30-06 and I'm planning to use 220 grain Remington Core-Lokt bullets. Is this to heavy of a bullet for bull elk? I know the 180 grain bullets will do the trick and are better for longer shots but I think that 220 grains have better takedown power. Any advice is helpful, thanks!

Working under the name Imakethings, Andrew Groves is a freelance illustrator. He says: "I have a particular interest in the natural world, and aim to invent characters that explore the grotesque beauty of its many beasts and creatures, and the folklore that surrounds them."
Andrew is currently based in the UK creating work for clients such as Foundation Skateboards, Snowboarder Magazine, Orange and Panasonic to name but a few. He is also constantly involved in self-initiated projects and schemes as well as creating work for exhibitions and shows worldwide.
In this tutorial, Imakethings (known to his mum as Andrew Groves) shows you how to make a repeat pattern based on map-like imagery. He uses simple shapes and icons to illustrate geographical features from a bird's-eye point of view similar to those used in OS maps.
However, unlike in an official map, Imakethings uses bright colours and adds a few creatures here and there to create a whimsical, magical landscape. The map tiles to make a recurring image that could be applied to any number of surfaces.
The techniques you'll pick up here can be applied a wide range of other images to conjure up patterns for textiles, T-shirt prints or anything else you put your mind to.
