Thread: What TV shows are you watching?
YO~ Doomsday Preppers by National Geographic was recently renewed for its 3rd season. Currently it's in a recess after last episode in early September and now waiting for next one in late October.
Inspire you to start learning to prep for THAT DAY. To me a total collapse of modern society is very unlikely, but you know, this is a new life-style, a totally self-sustained way of life. New knowledge always benefits us.

Neon Genesis Evangelion,tv series..One of the most overrated anime's i watched. Buuu!
I think you just hate giant robots at this stage.
In all seriousness though, NGE is a bit over rated. I think that at least in my part of the world it stems from the fact that it was one of the first "serious" anime's that most people watched when they first started getting into the genre so therefor it had to be amazing.
I like the robots and the fights, but I don't think the original series ever really went anywhere and it kinda just ends without having built up to all that much. I haven't watched any of the newer material."Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""

Funnily enough, mangas of both titles are supposed to actually make sense - though I never found it when I tried to read Akira manga.

I also read manga of Neon Evangelion,its SAME,totally same shit as aanime haha. Otherwise AKIRA is epic,one of the most epic animated movies. Beside Ninja scroll,Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust,Ghost In The Shell,Princess Mononokee! Plus few others i'm to lazy to count :3 prprprp
Resumed watching Babylon 5. Jeez, the special effects. But it's all worth it when G'kar and Londo appear. The episode I'm currently watching is Bester's premiere. One of the First One races shows up as well, I never noticed them appearing so early (episode 6 of season 1, asides from Kosh of course).
tl;dr I'd kill for Babylon 6.
Man, I need to rewatch Babylon 5 one of these days. I hope the story holds up.
I caught up on Brooklyn Nine-Nine over the weekend. I wasn't expecting much as the trailers didn't seem all that funny and the only things I've seen Andy Samberg in were Lonely Island videos, but turns out it's a really fun ensemble show. I guess I need to go back and try Parks & Rec again now (I've only seen the first few episodes of season 1).
Also Bones has started its new season, but it's becoming too painful now to enjoy even on an ironic level (my gf and I have a Bones drinking game and bunch of running gags that have helped us endure the last two seasons).
The last end-of-season cliffhanger is a dilemma of the most mind-numbingly dumb kind that as David Boreanaz's character continues to endure this horrible secret it only makes him look like the dumbest guy in the world. It would literally take him 5 minutes of thought to resolve it.
Also somewhere along the way Emily Deschanel became a dreadful actress, as the Bones character has flipped from an emotionally stunted nerd to a verbose idiot from another planet. In the last episode they both went undercover. With accents. Horrible.
I long for the Sweets and Daisy centred Bones: The Next Generation spinoff that should totally exist. That sentence probably makes no sense to anyone else here.
Sleepy Hollow, if watched immediately after Bones, manages to come across as a not-terrible and reasonably clever show. Isolated viewings however aren't as kind to it.
The pilot was a hasty mess, but since then they've managed to at least make the main character Ichabod likeable. But his sidekick and caretaker, the female cop, is still nothing more than a mix of reaction shots and buried secrets. She is a decent actor (the whole cast is excellent) but the script is just ruining her right now. Her sister, who seems to be shaping up as some self-taught Buffy/Terminator 2-era Sarah Connor locked in a mental institution, is vastly more interesting despite having only been on screen for a few minutes.
Worst of all though is the monster-of-the-week format, which has rarely felt so misjudged. In the two episodes since the pilot they have set up two villains who could have been interesting recurring antagonists but just killed them off. The show seems to be trying to focus its mythos on a very local level, but it's squandering it - throwing stuff away that could really take advantage of that local-ness later. But so far it's dumb (very dumb) fun and the special effects have been really high quality. And it's far better than Elementary, but then I think less of that show than I do Bones.
But I don't just watch shows that annoy me. Agents of SHIELD had a so-so pilot and then a much more solid second episode. Most of the characters are coming to life now, the big exceptions being Agent Ward (who still isn't particularly convincing) and Skye (who is convincing, but also annoying). I like how despite not having the heroes from the movies, they are not timid about mentioning them. Early days yet, but I am enjoying it so far.

I recently watched Battlestar Galactica, season 1. It wasn't bad, had some nice characters and ideas, but some elements (like that baltar dude) grew more and more annoying. Oh, and the Cylons stopped making sense at all.
Is it worth watching later seasons?
You don't like Baltar? It's the best thing in all the show next to the music.
I loved the show and enjoyed every second of it, but if you just liked it it might not be the thing for you. I'd recommend watching season 2 as it has some of the best episodes in all the series. If there is a point you stop enjoying it leave it as there is certainly a drop of quality in season 3. Season 4 sees a return to previous quality but it's too late for the show by then.
You watched the miniseries first, right?

Agents of SHIELDs second episode has the best ending ever. (after the credits)- Tom De Roeck.

"Quantacat's name is still recognised even if he watches on with detached eyes like Peter Molyneux over a cube in 3D space, staring at it with tears in his eyes, softly whispering... Someday they'll get it." - The Conclave
Also, what REALLY annoyed me: In the season premier, Boreanez is all sad because he has no idea how to find Larry Stu The Hacker and wha wha wha. Then his buddy, Freddie Prinze Jr, says "Hey, if you need anything, give me a shout" and Boreanez can't even seem to think of anything. Uhm...

If you want me on either service, I suggest PMing me here first to let me know who you are.
I thought the second episode of Agents of SHIELD felt like a bad episode of the A-team, obviously the conceit of many of these kinds of shows is not dissimilar, but the plotting and the idea of 'an old flame in the army, who tries to seduce our Hero Phil (or the Face) to hide her imminent and entirely obvious betrayal, it was pure A-team and a bit silly. But yay for Sam Jackson I guess?
But despite the criticisms I enjoyed the fourth season a lot.
And of course, as with every series that propelled by mysteries is very hard to finish it to everyone's satisfaction. I took the ending for what it is and enjoyed it. At least it didn't end like Lost.
Arpeggio of Blue Steel, a Japanese manga is now adopted for animation.
With sea level rises due to global warming, humans lost some of land to the sea. Just as they (we) thought they could overcome the situation, the nature seemed to take its final revenge over us. An overwhelming yet mysterious naval force emerged from no where, forced humans out of any sea navigation. This fleet was always covered under fog, hence was referred to as the Fog Navy. In one final and desperate attempt to reclaim the oceans, human nations joined forces under the leadership of the United Nations, united their naval forces together to establish a new global human naval force, and launch one great naval offensive against the Fog Navy in 2039 - only to be annihilated. With this disastrous defeat, human nations were hopelessly divided by oceans.
The story begins at the 17th year after that great naval defeat of humans. Japanese navy had Chihaya Gunzo, commander of a hi-tech submarine I-401, which was the only human vessel capable of combating vessels of the Fog Navy. But this I-401 was not a product of humans: it was a captured vessel formerly belonging to the Fog Navy, and was run by an AI with girl appearance. It was revealed that commanding vessels of the Fog Navy all had their AI girls with unique characteristics. But to be more precise, this I-401 was actually not captured - it simply defected to human side and for some reason came directly to Chihaya to serve as his subordinate. And Chihaya was no common military officer, he was son of Chihaya Shozo, a legendary Japanese Navy commander, yet for some unknown reason defected to the Fog Navy.
So with I-401, human nations finaly had some small hope of maintaining minimum contact. Before that, the Fog Navy established a 3D blockade which not only forbidding any human vessel to navigate the marine zone, but also shot down all aerial vehicles and even satellites, and cut submarine communication optic fiber. Human developed rocket propelled aerial vessels, hoped they could out run the Fog Navy's attack, but before I-401 they were all shot down. By then, whenever they launched a rocket propelled vehicle, they sent I-401 to combat the Fog Navy, which would definitely emerge to try to shoot down the vehicle.
I saw that on a site today and it looked interesting.

Ratings for Dr. James W. Dougher
The most caring Doctor my husband and I ever had. Could diagnose quickly and was always ready to listen . Kind,compassionate,never treated us like we DIDN'T KNOW OUR BODIES as most physicians do!
I just have to say how much I love Dr. Dougher . He was my doctor as well as my husbands. When he was sent home from Torrance Memorial sicker than when he was admitted, so ill he actually fell out of our car when I got him home! Dr, Dougher heard about this and actually CAME TO OUR HOUSE to treat my husband. Brought his own supplies treated him and got him admitted to a care facility that actually got him helped up. I have since lost my dear husband and left California..but I continue my search for a Dr. Dougher ...he's one in a million...and if I had a million I would love to hire him as our family's private physician! GOD BLESS YOU. DR. DOUGHER!
I saw Dr. Dougher when my regular doctor, who I don't care for very much, was out on maternity leave. Meeting Dr. Dougher was like a breathe of fresh air. He was extremely immediate, warm, caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. He spent time trying to diagnose my condition, unlike my regular doctor who just asked a couple of questions, prescribed medication that I DID NOT need, and sent me on my way with an inaccurate diagnosis. Dr. Dougher ordered bloodwork to be drawn and did not hesitate to refer me to neurology. When I told Dr. Dougher that my own research helped me diagnose myself, he listened and was supportive of my theory. Every time I schedule an appointment with Healthcare Partners, I ask if Dr. Dougher is covering for anyone, in hopes that he might be there. Perhaps one day he will be. Until then, I am settling for a doctor I don't care too much for. I have visited some of the other doctors there as well and feel that they are not any better. Dr. Dougher is Great!
The BEST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!! He is a home-town doctor, which will sit and talk to you, he is caring and will go beyond the stars for each patient. He even ran down stairs to get my x-rays and out-of-breath when he came back - he still sat and talked to me. He is also amazing at diagnosing your problem. He knew right away what was wrong with me, when other doctors had no idea. I am so upset with the healthcare group for making him a floater doctor & making him completely unaccessable to patients because he doesn't handle the volume other drs do - I would pay money for him if he ever opened a private practice also.
He is the best doctor I have ever had. I believe he saved my life. He is very conciencious, and he really cars about you and your recovery. He spends the time with you to listen to what you have to say so that he has a complete history of your health. He was working or an HMO Health Care Partners but put him as a floater because he is not fast enough to herd people like cows as HMO's expect. He is a Hometown doctor who cares about your best interest.
The best doctor I have ever had as far as thoroughness, helpfulness, consideration and compassion. Dr Dougher was my doctor for 15 years. He would still be my doctor if we had not moved. Haven't found a replacement nearly as good yet. We miss him.
Dr. Dougher became my doctor because my PCP left and his patients were turfed among to docs. I must say I am VERY, VERY PLEASED with him! Not only is he very personable, he is compassionate, considerate, and very thorough! Dr. Dougher is a very well educated man, as it comes accross! He follows through and gives you his time!! He is someone I would highly reccommend to my family and friends!!
My whole family goes to him. He's the kindest, most caring doctor we've ever met. He deserves a medal!
Excellent Doctor. He could open a private practice and I'd pay him for consulting. An amazing clinician. He works in an HMO but that will not hold him back from conducting tests that are necessary. He runs far behind but it's because he spends quality time when he's with you, even if he's already an hour behind.

This week, October 17–23, 2010, is the fifth annual National Friends of Libraries Week. The celebration offers libraries an opportunity to thank their Friends and encourage membership as a way to show support for the library.
We have more than "friends" at KPL—we have very good "friends", officially known as The Friends of Kalamazoo Public Library. They celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2009.
KPL's Friends manage and operate the Friends Bookstore on the lower level of the Central Library where they sell "gently used books, very gently priced". Most books are $2 or less!
The work of many volunteers who sort, price, and sell the books results in an annual gift of $50,000-$60,000 from the Friends to the library. In recent years, their gift has funded KPL's summer reading games for all ages and helped support Ready to Read, Reading Together, and other programs.
Anyone can join the Friends as a way to support KPL. Although there are volunteer opportunities, it is not a requirement of membership!
Come visit the Friends Bookstore at the Central Library, join the Friends, help support KPL. And, of course, thank the very good Friends of Kalamazoo Public Library for their financial support and advocacy.
Enjoy your special week, Friends!

Knox County's five general sessions court judges on Tuesday held a private meeting with embattled Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey to talk about fixing the mistakes in her office that have led to a series of problems, including wrongful arrests, and find ways to prevent them from happening again.
"Everyone came in there with an idea to fix any problems there might be, or at least start down that road," said Judge Andrew Jackson VI. "It's not something where you can come in and just wave a magic wand and magically everything is OK, but I think that there is a good start going on."
Jackson, the presiding judge, said McCroskey "had a number of ideas that she said she was going to implement that hopefully will solve the problems."
He didn't go into specifics, but said the criminal court clerk told the judges that she should would look into reorganizing parts of her office, offer employees additional training, and change some procedures.
"Everyone is working toward the same goal," he said. "We all want things to work correctly."
He said the judges and McCroskey held the hour-long meeting to "make sure the lines of communication are open," and that Tuesday was the first chance for all of them to get together at the same time.
"We didn't want to do any finger pointing," he added. "We just wanted to find solutions."
Jackson said that this point the judges have not scheduled any other meetings with the criminal court clerk.
However, McCroskey, who did not return call seeking comment, is expected to meet in the coming weeks with the county's Criminal Justice Committee.
The committee is an advisory board comprised of county leaders and officials in the legal arena to discuss issues pertaining to the justice system in Knox County. It has no legislative power.
Tuesday's meeting with the judges comes in the wake of a WBIR Channel 10 investigation into that detailed a systemic problem inside McCroskey's office that has led to wrongful arrests, cases set aside due to errors and residents temporarily losing their right to vote.
Last week, McCroskey turned over a packet of information to Knox County commissioners that was supposed to exonerate from her the allegations. She accepted little blame and declined to talk publicly about the problems.
The informational packets McCroskey provided included errors, omitted data, and even admissions of guilt for some of the problems, according to a News 10 analysis. They were comprised mostly of narratives put together by her staff and contained few relevant supporting documents.
The county's Information Technology Department also looked at seven specific cases that McCroskey turned over and released a series of audit reports that connected much of the problems to her office.

Oregon's Largest Newspaper Reorganizes For Digital Age
The Oregonian is launching two new media companies this fall. Oregonian Media Group will expand digital content as it operates OregonLive.com and publishes Oregon's largest newspaper and its related print products.
A separate company, Advance Central Services Oregon, will provide production, circulation, human resources, IT, accounting and other services, to Oregonian Media Group and other companies.
"This strategy will allow us to serve consumers in Oregon and Southwest Washington with more up-to-the-minute, robust news and information online and on mobile devices while continuing the strong enterprise and investigative reporting that The Oregonian and OregonLive.com are so well known for," said N. Christian Anderson III, president and publisher of The Oregonian. Anderson will be president of Oregonian Media Group.
"We will continue to develop our digital products to better serve consumers," he said. "We seek to be at the forefront of how Oregonians get and use information. Even with the largest news organization and the largest news audience in the state, we must bring innovative ways of serving consumers to continue our growth. As well, we will enhance our suite of products to help our advertisers reach their best customers. "
Home newspaper delivery will be cut to four days a week. However, the paper will continue to be available daily at newsstands and online. Anderson says while the changes will create future growth opportunies, some current employees will lose their jobs. He's not saying how many. Staff are still being notified.


text: One of my new year's resolutions will be to finally take up MMA properly. Been watching the sport for a long while now so it makes a lot of sense for taking it up. Anyway, I live in Lincoln and quick search has shown that there is a Martial Arts place called S2C8 which does MMA. Has anyone heard anything or been there before? A quick check of their website http://www.s2c8.co.uk/ has left me quite discouraged.. it reads more like a huge advertisement than it does a community website. I don't want to judge them too harsly but they don't even have a detailed page for their instructors listing their credentials and instead focus almost entirely on the marketing aspect. Seeing as you always here about bad instructors capitalizing on the ever increasing popularity of the sport, I'm a little bit wary. I might just travel to Nottingham where there is a few reputable places to go but thought I'd at least get opinions on here first before dismissing S2C8.

S.C. Political Collections is teaming up with the Association of Centers for the Study of Congress, The Kettering Foundation and the National Issues Forums Institute to hold these forums across the country, which are intended to counter the polarizing political discussions and provide valuable insights to policymakers about the debt crisis.
Individuals must register and can do so by calling 803-777-0578. Groups interested in participating should call Herb Hartsook, director of S.C. Political Collections, at 777-0577 or email him at email@example.com.
Forum participants will receive a 12-page handbook before the session. Hartsook will moderate the forum and lead the discussion.
Results of the forums will be communicated to the members of South Carolina's congressional delegation and other government leaders.
S.C. Political Collections houses the papers and documents of many of South Carolina's most prominent leaders in Congresss and the General Assembly, as well as papers of the state's political parties and other individuals who have played a pivotal role in the Palmetto State's political history.

CASH-strapped council chiefs in Southampton have failed to recover £50,000 of taxpayers' money spent settling a bitter dispute over the city's largest mosque, the Daily Echo can reveal.
As the Medina Mosque is plunged into a new £3.3m legal dispute, it has emerged that the city council decided not to recover the costs of a High Court case to determine which of two rival factions of the Muslim community had the right to the building's freehold.
The council believes that its costs to sort out the Mosque ownership dispute, including around 200 hours of officer time, ran to around £50,000.
A judge 16 months ago decided that the Southampton Medina Trust Ltd, which has been running the Compton's Walk mosque since 2002, was entitled to own and manage it.
He awarded costs against the chairman of the rival Southampton Medina Mosque Trust, Mohammed Aslam, who was instrumental to getting the mosque built, and has now filed a separate £3.3m claim against three fellow original trustees for building costs.
A council spokesman said: "The council having taken legal advice has decided not to pursue the order for costs at this point in time based on Mr Aslam's means – given that such action is likely only to lead to further cost for the taxpayer."
Mr Aslam said the judge's order of costs against him was "totally iniquitous".
He said: "As a far as the council's costs are concerned that's settled and there is nothing outstanding from my point of view."
He blamed the court costs on the Southampton Medina Trust Ltd for failing to fully co-operate with earlier attempts to resolve the dispute.
The council sought a judgment so it could hand over the title to the mosque site and enforce outstanding planning breaches, including use of a car park.
Around 500 worshippers regularly attend Friday prayers at the mosque.

What We're Loving: Voyeurs, A Trip to the MoonBy The Paris Review
Have you ever had one of those days where it's best, for everybody, that you stay in your room and turn off your phone and promise never to talk to anyone ever again? Gabrielle Bell understands. Her autobiographical comic strip The Voyeurs just rescued one such Thursday night for me. Bell makes social awkwardness verging on phobia look cool, or at least perfectly rational, and even at her most despondent, her pen notices what's going on outside the window or in a friend's facial expression—and as often as not, it's funny and endearing, even beautiful. For an artist who skewers her own fecklesness and self-pity, Bell spends a lot of time secretly celebrating the world. —Lorin Stein
As my friends know, I have long held a somewhat irrational prejudice against all shades of purple, and when pressed, have only ever been able to come up with vague allusions to wizards and Lisa Frank. Imagine my glee, then, when, in a Q & A with The New York Times Magazine, Monocle editor and full-time jet-setter Tyler Brûlé declared the following:

I'm pretty new to linux, though this isn't my first foray into it. (i did use mandrake for about 2 months back when it was called mandrake). Either way, i didn't use it long enough to learn much. I've been using computers steadily since my apple II+ back in the day, but as i said, not much linux.
Anyway, my wife's laptop recently became inoperable. Windows XP was freezing up at random, and when it wasn't frozen it would studder about 5 times a second (not an exaggeration).
I suspected the hdd controller was going out so i installed backtrack 3 to a USB stick just to play a bit. It ran fine..... I've always been a bit of a tinkerer, so I went through a bunch of the how-to's and whatnot to figure out what i could not on my own. Anyway, now it's saturday night and i think i've got the major stuff figured out.
I set up my usb stick for persistent changes and to also run compiz so it's purdy. Then I installed Seamonkey (always been a fan of it) for web and mail (dont' like firefox). Then i installed flash player........ Then i decided "what the heck" and deleted the windows partitions from the hdd and set it up for backtrack the same way i had the USB stick set up.
I've also got that funky intel wireless chipset that i have to change drivers with modprobe for monitor/managed modes. Made a couple items on my start menu to keep from having to retype it in every time.
Anyway..........now i'm installing Office 2007, should be fun.
Most people by now are probably saying "if you're going through all that you'd be better off with a different linux distro". I disagree, as I said, I'm a tinkerer and i think backtrack is a great way to learn the ins and outs. I've been a backtrack user for less than 24 hours and i've already learned more than i did with 2 months of mandrake.
Just thought I'd say thanks to you guys for all the great how-to's, and the search feature is a godsend.

Marco Rubio Spurned by Original Tea Party Supporters Over Immigration
When Sen. Marco Rubio turned 42 on May 28, his Facebook page was swampedwith more than 4,000 messages from people livid with him for championing the immigration reform bill that was moving through the Senate. The notes variously called him a turncoat, a RINO, a traitor, or worse. Some birthday greetings suggested he celebrate in Mexico, Cuba, or hell, while one cheerfully said, "Happy Birthday! Now Resign!"
But the real backlash for Rubio came a month later, after he voted for the Senate immigration reform bill. Senators headed home for the weeklong July 4 recess, or in Rubio's case, a week of conservative blowback and hometown heartache, including a Tea Party protest in front of his Miami office.
"It was like a suicide mission that has served no purpose that we can tell," said Everett Wilkinson, chairman of the Florida-based National Liberty Federation, of Rubio's lead role on immigration reform. "The feedback I've received is that people are extremely upset with Marco. Tea Party members who were active with us and helped get Marco elected—several have said they're no longer going to support him."
Wilkinson organized the first Tea Party event ever held in West Palm Beach, complete with a little-known Senate candidate named Marco Rubio. Rubio's speech was a hit and his name was passed among Tea Party groups throughout the state and the country.
But at the time, Wilkinson also said some Tea Party supporters quizzed Rubio on his immigration stance and now believe he has taken the opposite position.
"He specifically said he wanted to enforce the borders and have a wall, and make immigration something that you have to earn and that that he wasn't going to support amnesty," Wilkinson said. "It's left a lot of us wondering what happened."
Although Tea Party supporters alone did not elect Rubio to the Senate, their early advocacy for him, and against Gov. Charlie Crist, gave Rubio crucial momentum, exposure, and a national fundraising network that undoubtedly fueled his rise against the better-known governor.
A split now with conservatives and Tea Party members—the base of his base—will make Rubio a different kind of Republican going forward, for better and worse.
Juan Fiol, a libertarian Republican from Miami who volunteered for Rubio's 2010 Senate campaign, says he won't vote for Rubio again, nor will many Latinos he knows. "His own volunteers are turning against him. He's in a lot of trouble," Fiol said. "I am a Republican, but I do not identify with Rubio anymore. He could have been our savior, and he's the nail in our coffin."
Like Wilkinson, Fiol says Rubio "flip-flopped" on his immigration position since 2010. "He ran against this, that's what bothers me," Fiol said. "Quite a few times on Fox News, he would say, 'I am for legal immigration. I am for securing the border.' Then he turns around and supports amnesty. He might as well switch parties right now. He's done."

WASHINGTON -- The Federal Reserve is appealing a court ruling that struck down the 21¢ cap on fees that banks can charge retail stores for debit card transactions.
Judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled in late July that the Fed's 21¢ fee limit per transaction was higher than Congress intended as part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law. | READ MORE
The ruling was considered a win for the National Retail Federation and other groups that had filed a lawsuit claiming that the Fed's swipe fee cap was too high.
The Fed filed its appeal of Leon's ruling on Aug. 22.
Leon said last week that he wanted the Fed to put temporary rules in place that would lower the cap immediately until new rules are finalized. In their appeal, Federal Reserve attorneys asked Leon to keep the current cap in place until an appeals court weighs in.

A pit-house is a dwelling dug into the ground which may also be layered with stone. These structures may be used as places to tell stories, dance, sing, celebrate, and store food. In archaeology, pit-houses are also termed sunken featured buildings and are found in numerous cultures around the world. These include: the people of the American Southwest, including the ancestral Pueblo, the ancient Fremont and Mogollon cultures, the Cherokee, the Inuit, the people of the Plateau, and archaic residents of Wyoming (Smith 2003) in North America; Archaic residents of the Lake Titicaca Basin (Craig 2005) in South America; and Anglo Saxons in Europe. Anglo Saxon pit-houses may actually represented buildings for other functions than just dwellings and have a specialised name derived from German, Grubenhaus.
Usually, all that remains of the ancient pit-house is a dug out hollow in the ground and any postholes used to support the roof. In the nineteenth century, it was believed that most prehistoric peoples lived in pit-houses although it has since been proved that many of the features thought of as houses were in fact food storage pits or served another purpose.
Cross Cultural PatterningEdit
A cross-cultural middle range model of pit-house architecture using the Ethnographic Atlas found that 82 of the 862 societies in the sample occupy pit structures as either their primary or secondary dwellings.[1]
All but six of the 82 societies live above 32° north latitude, and four of the six cases in this sample that are below 32° north latitude are from "high mountain" regions in east Africa, Paraguay, and eastern Brazil.[2] The last example is from the Yami [3] who occupied a small island south of Formosa.
Three conditions were always present among groups in the sample: 1) non-tropical climate during the season of pit structure habitation; 2) minimally a biseasonal settlement pattern; 3) reliance on stored food during the period of pit structure occupation. These conditions may be related to other factors of society and the presence of any or all of these three elements in society does not pre-condition occupation of pit structures. Nonetheless, these three conditions were present in all cases of pit structure occupation present in the Ethnographic Atlas. Other cultural patterns were common, but not universal across the sample. These commonalities include: cold season of occupation, low population estimates, and simple political and economic systems.
The ethnographic sample is based almost entirely on case studies from societies located in northern latitudes. Period of pit structure occupation is generally during the cold season. This is probably due to their thermal efficiency. Dug into the ground, pit structures take advantage to the insulating properties of soil, as well as having a low profile protecting them from exposure to wind induced heat loss.[4]. Since less heat is lost by transmission than above ground structures, less energy is required to maintain stable temperatures inside the structure.[5] Out of the 82 ethnographic cases in the Ethnographic Atlas 50 societies had population estimates and of these 64% had fewer than 100 people per settlement.[6] In only 6% cases were there more than 400 persons per settlement. The cases with the highest population densities were the Arikara and Hidatsa of the North American Great Plains and the Konso of Ethiopia. Gillman attributes high population densities among the Arikara to the availability of buffalo.
Pit structure occupations are generally associated with simple political and economic systems. For 86% of the sample, class stratification or social distinctions based on non-hereditary wealth were reported as absent.[7] However, some pit dwelling societies are characterized by chiefdom level complexity. In terms of economic organization, 77% of the societies who occupy pit structures had a hunting and gathering economy.[8] This is a large fraction of the sample but is not considered a universally consistent feature like biseasonal settlement and a reliance on stored foods during pit structure occupation.
During the part of the year when people are not living in pit structures activities should be focused on acquiring foods to store.[6] Based on the sample from the Ethnographic Atlas, this may be through either hunting and gathering or agricultural activity.

The second type of data stream is "filtered streams." Filtered streams deliver all the Tweets that match a filter you select (eg. keywords, usernames, or geographical boundaries). This can be very useful for developers or businesses that need limited access to specific Tweets.
Because the Streaming API is not designed for enterprise access, however, Twitter imposes some restrictions on its filtered streams that are important to understand. First, the volume of Tweets accessible through these streams is limited so that it will never exceed a certain percentage of the full Firehose. (This percentage is not publicly shared by Twitter.) As a result, only low-volume queries can reliably be accommodated. Second, Twitter imposes a query limit: currently, users can query for a maximum of 400 keywords and only a limited number of usernames. This is a significant challenge for many businesses. Third, Boolean operators are not supported by the Streaming API like they are by the Search API (and by Gnip's API). And finally, there is no guarantee that Twitter's access levels will remain unchanged in the future. Enterprises that need guaranteed access to data over time should understand that building a business on any free, public APIs can be risky.
The Search API and Streaming API are great ways to gather a sampling of social media data from Twitter. We're clearly fans over here at Gnip; we actually offer Search API access through our Enterprise Data Collector. And here's one more cool benefit of using Twitter's free public APIs: those APIs don't prohibit display of the Tweets you receive to the general public like premium Twitter feeds from Gnip and other resyndication partners do.
But whether you're using the Search API or the Streaming API, keep in mind that those feeds simply aren't designed for enterprise access. And as a result, you're using the same data sets available to anyone with a computer, your coverage is unlikely to be complete, and Twitter reserves the right change the data accessibility or Terms of Use for those APIs at any time.
If your business dictates a need for full coverage data, more complex queries, an agreement that ensures continued access to data over time, or enterprise-level customer support, then we recommend getting in touch with a premium social media data provider like Gnip. Our complementary premium Twitter products include Power Track for data filtered by keyword or other parameters, and Decahose and Halfhose for randomly sampled data streams (10% and 50%, respectively). If you'd like to learn more, we'd love to hear from you at email@example.com or 888.777.7405.

Yeah, it's not all that uncommon to have a backyard mini ramp, but what about a full-blown pool? Must be nice. Arto Saari weighs in on what it feels like to have what everyone's dreamed of. As told to Kevin Duffel, from our November issue. Photography by Skin Phillips.
I found this house that had enough space to either build a mini ramp and not touch the garage, or dig a hole, take part of the garage out, and build something bigger. I was like, "You know what? F—k the mini ramp." And I knew Lance Mountain had built a pool, so I got in contact with him, like, "What do I have to do in order to get a pool built?" He pretty much just hung up the phone and was at my house like 15 minutes later. We came to a conclusion that a left-hand kidney would be perfect. Lance has been riding the pools for 30 years or something, so it just made sense to talk to him about it. It was finished last May. He was there every step of the way. I also wanted it to be a swimmer. You can actually fill the pool up with water.
Whenever you seal the deal with the company that you build it with, do not change anything throughout the project. Just make sure that the plans are completely correct and finished before you dig the first hole. You have to be really careful how much you dig out, and what kind of dirt you have. You want to have packed dirt. Everything helps. It helps a lot if you dig it out and the shape's pretty close to how you want it. If it's just kind of a random hole, it makes it a lot harder. Do not change anything at all until it's completely finished. Otherwise you end up paying a lot more money.
Arto threw a massive BBQ and invited the whole crew over for a good time. Video by Chris Thiessen.
The first drop-in was insane because I had to stare at the thing for like two months, thinking, "Oh my god, did I mess it up?" I knew nothing about it. I was tripped out for the first two weeks of skating, like, "This thing's incredible. I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's fun." It gave me a whole new outlook for skateboarding. There's so much more in skateboarding than what I've been doing for the last 10 years. When I first dropped in it felt like I started skating again, like a little kid, because I couldn't even do a 50-50 in the deep end. It felt rad.
Everyone's actually been very respectful about showing up. Everyone always calls first. There's only been a couple of dudes that barged it once, and it happened to be—which is ironic—the Antihero dudes [laughs]. I wasn't home, but there was a breastfeeding mother upstairs and some dudes started skating at 9:00 a.m., and she just f—king went nuts [laughs]. I'm kinda honored that it was the Antihero dudes. It was just a miscommunication with the day and the time, but it was pretty funny. I haven't come home and found any random kids yet. I'd be f—king pissed. If you do that, then that's it—you're out. I'll let you skate it. Call me, get my number, whatever, you can skate it, but just don't barge it. If you're caught, you're banned for life.
Anyone that's out there, just go build more pools. They're fun. It's always a good excuse to get your homeys over and have a good time and have a massive barbecue. That's one of the great things about it. You get to meet a lot of great people through it. It's been super rad, especially meeting some of the older cats, and having Cab [Steve Caballero] all of a sudden show up at your door, you're like, "Ohhhhh whattttt. I'll just sit down and watch." Skateboarding's given me so much in these last 10 years. I mean, this is a little thing, but I just tried to give back to skaters and people. It's not a whole lot, but I just wanted everyone to have a good time. Probably the best thing I've ever done in skateboarding and throughout my career is building that pool.

Lombardo's Restaurant was THE place to be in the '70s in Long Beach.
The Long Beach Grand Prix was put together there on a napkin. A concert by Frank Sinatra to benefit the widows of slain Long Beach cops was planned there. Bob Hope raved about the food. Cal State Long Beach men's basketball legend Jerry Tarkanian took prize recruits there.
If a business deal was to take place in Long Beach, most likely it happened at Lombardo's. If you needed a mover and shaker, you could find him/her at Lombardo's.
And the man who presided over this favorite watering hole for Long Beach power brokers was the gregarious Leonard Lombardo, 86, who died peacefully Jan. 5 at his home in Laguna Nigel.
"Long Beach was a huge part of my father's life," said his son, Phil, an executive vice president with Cushman & Wakefield. "He loved his time in Long Beach, which was a unique city when he owned Lombardo's and it still is."
Chris Pook, creator of the Long Beach Grand Prix, knew Len Lombardo well.
"He was a moose of a man, 6-foot-4, 275 pounds, always impeccably dressed," Pook said. "When Leonard walked into a room, the whole room knew he was there. He had that sort of presence about him."
Lombardo built the restaurant in 1969 on the west side of Fidelity Federal Plaza on Linden Avenue between Ocean Boulevard and First Street. It closed on New Year's Eve 1980 and became the Carriage House and then 555 East, which it remains today.
Those were the days when there weren't many fine dining places in Long Beach. In fact, one publication called the city a "gastronomic wasteland" -- except for Lombardo's, which prided itself on its outstanding Italian cuisine.
"It also was the time of the three-martini lunch," said Phil Lombardo, who worked there as a bartender. "I couldn't believe how many drinks I would pour just for lunches. And everyone was smoking cigarettes or cigars. I saw a lot of stuff going on."
He said many business people would have their lunch in the main dining area and wind up in the kitchen going over details.
Pook, who ran a travel business nearby, said he sold business leaders on the idea of a Grand Prix race on the streets of Long Beach and then, in turn, persuaded then City Manager John Mansell and the City Council to approve it.
"We put the race plan together on a napkin at Lombardo's," Pook said.
Lombardo's also was a favorite of Whitey Littlefield, a longtime community leader and general manager of Somerset Distributors, the Budweiser agency owned by Frank Sinatra. Many of Littlefield's Budweiser deals were worked out in Lombardo's.
Through his connection with Sinatra, Littlefield was able to persuade the singer to do a benefit for widows of slain Long Beach police officers.
Politicians of all stripes, including City Council members and harbor commissioners, were regular guests at Lombardo's.
It also was a hangout for the local FBI office, which was housed right above Lombardo's. Rumor has it that some FBI agents spent too much time "interrogating" witnesses in the friendly confines at Lombardo's and were told to rein in their interviews there.
Bob Hope ate there for dinner and told Leonard Lombardo that his restaurant was as good as anything in Beverly Hills.
Lombardo designed a unique restaurant with a cocktail and lounge area accented by a massive, free-standing fireplace. Lombardo used thousands of bricks for brick archways leading into semi-secluded dining areas. Waiters all wore tuxedos with ruffled shirts and black butterfly bow ties.
Lombardo was born in Niagara Falls, N.Y., on Nov. 15, 1926, dropped out of high school and enlisted in the Navy when he was 17 to serve in World War II. In 1946 he got married and, at 28, he opened his first restaurant in Niagara Falls.
"My dad had a job offer in Las Vegas," his son, Phil said. "He drove to Vegas, took one look at it and said he didn't like what he saw and said, `I'm going to keep driving to Southern California."'
Leonard worked at the Peppermill in San Gabriel, managed the Embers restaurant in Arcadia and then opened Embers Shoreline on the first floor of Pacific Holiday Towers on Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach in 1965. He closed Embers and opened Lombardo's in 1969. For a short time, he also operated the Apple Valley Steakhouse on Broadway, which used to be a thriving restaurant but had fallen on hard times.
"After closing Lombardo's, he needed a break after so many years in the restaurant business," his son said. "He traveled around and finally wound up in New Orleans where he visited with relatives. He had so much energy he bought an ice cream parlor in the French Quarter and converted it into a fine dining restaurant, Pere Antoine's. He sold it in 1998 and then he really retired and moved to Laguna Nigel."
Lombardo's was definitely a big part of Long Beach history. When it closed and Leonard Lombardo moved away, it marked the end of an era long forgotten by many, but remembered with fondness by others who were making Long Beach their home then.
Lombardo is survived by Marilyn, 85, his wife of 66 years; daughters Gail, Maureen and Michele; son Phil; brother Marion; sister Nancy Aingsley; seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. A Mass was held in Laguna Nigel Friday.

Joshu, the Zen master, asked a new monk in the monastery, "Have I seen you before?"The new monk replied, "No sir."Joshu said, "Then have a cup of tea."Joshu then turned to another monk: "Have I seen you here before?"The second monk said, "Yes sir, of course you have."Joshu said, "Then have a cup of tea."Later the managing monk of the monastery asked Joshu, "How is it you make the same offer of tea to any reply?"At this Joshu shouted, "Manager, are you still here?" The manager replied, "Of course, master." Joshu said, "Then have a cup of tea."
The story is simple, but difficult to understand. It is always so. The more simple a thing the more difficult it is to understand. To understand, something complex is needed; to understand, you have to divide and analyze. A simple thing cannot be divided and analyzed - there is nothing to divide and analyze, the thing is so simple. The simplest always escapes understanding, that is why God cannot be understood. God is the simplest thing, absolutely the simplest thing possible. The world can be understood; it is very complex. The more complex a thing is, the more the mind can work in it. When it is simple there is nothing to grind, the mind cannot work.
Logicians say that simple qualities are indefinable. For example, if somebody asks you, "What is yellow?" - it is such a simple quality, the color yellow, how will you define it? You will say, "Yellow is yellow." The man will say, "That I know, but what is the definition of yellow?" If you say yellow is yellow you are not defining, you are simply repeating the same thing again. It is a tautology.
One of the most penetrating minds of this century, G.E.Moore, has written a book, Principia Ethica. The whole book consists of a very persistent effort to define what is good. Making efforts from all directions, in two or three hundred pages - and two, three hundred pages of G.E.Moore is worth three thousand pages of anybody else - he comes to the conclusion that good is indefinable. It cannot be defined, it is such a simple quality. When something is complex there are many things in it; you can define one thing by another that is present there. If you and I are in a room and you ask me, "Who are you?" I can at least say I am not you. This will be-come the definition, the indication. But if I am alone in the room and I ask myself the question, "Who am I?" the question resounds but there is no answer. How to define it?
That is why God has been missed. Intellect denies it, reason says no. God is the simplest denominator in existence - the most simple and the most basic. The mind stops. There is nothing other than God, so how to define God? He is alone in the room. That is why religions have been trying to divide; then definition is possible. They say, "This world is not that. God is not the world, God is not matter, God is not body, God is not desire." These are ways to define.

Violet - from Tampa, FL
You can use a purchased egg separator, which has a little cup for the egg yolk to sit in, and slats to allow the white to fall away. But another option is to use your fngers. Break the egg into your hand, keep the yolk on your fingers, and strain the white off between your fingers. While the most commonly used method is to break the eggshell in half and transfer the yolk from one half to the other while releasing the egg white, it can be the most difficult, as often the egg yolk will break as it passes across the rigid, sometimes sharp egg shell.

Mayoral Candidates Slam Bloomberg Over Fingerprint Comments
Comments Mayor Bloomberg made on WOR 710's "The John Gambling Show" Friday is causing an uproar among the mayoral candidates. Bloomberg told John Gambling, "what we really should have is fingerprinting to get in," when talking about ways to improve safety in NYC's public housing.
Since making those comments numerous mayoral candidates have come out blasting Bloomberg's suggestion.
Bill Thompson: "Just like stop-and-frisk, this is another direct act of treating minorities like criminals," Thompson said in a statement. "Mayor Bloomberg wants to make New Yorkers feel like prisoners in their own homes."
Bill de Blasio: "The mayor's comments that New Yorkers who enter public housing should be fingerprinted is outrageous and insulting, and shows just how out of touch this administration has become," de Blasio said in a statement. "Mayor Bloomberg needs to apologize for these remarks."
According to the Wall Street Journal, both Thompson and de Blasio have suggested installing security cameras in public housing to try and improve safety.

Katy Perry, John Mayer split
Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio | Listen to John Mayer on iHeartRadio
It looks as if things may be over between Katy Perry and John Mayer.
A source has confirmed to People that the couple has called it quits after seven months of dating. Katy and John started making headlines last summer, less than a year after Katy's divorce from Russell Brand.
The relationship appeared to be getting serious last December when the two spent Christmas together. They've made a number of appearances as a couple at some high profile events this year as well, including the Presidential Inauguration and the Grammys.
It's not the first time breakup rumors have followed Katy and John. Their split was reported prematurely back in August.
Last month, it appeared that Mayer, who has a reputation as a serial celebrity dater, could have been changing his ways for Katy. On "CBS Sunday Morning," he called the relationship "very human" and said he could see himself getting married someday.
Speaking of Katy, fans may not be amused by what the star's ex-husband Russell Brand had to say about their brief marriage.
During an interview with the XFM London radio show on Monday, the quick-talking funnyman spoke freely when asked about the lavish Indian wedding he gave Katy when the two married in 2010. Giving advice to single men, Russell said sarcastically to think of marriage as nothing but a "sacred, 14-month arrangement" that "begins on an elephant" and "ends in a newspaper."
The couple's high-profile divorce has resurfaced in the headlines over the past month after Russell hinted that he would be writing about Katy in the third installment of his "Book Wook" personal tell-all series.
Katy was rumored to have signed a three million dollar book deal to tell her side of the story as well, but her rep denied the reports on Monday.

Wizards of the Coast (often referred to as WotC or simply Wizards) is an American publisher of games, primarily based on fantasy and science fiction themes. Originally a basement-run role-playing game publisher, they popularized the collectible card game genre with Magic: The Gathering in the mid-1990s. Today they publish board games, collectible card games and role-playing games. Currently they are a subsidiary of Hasbro.
History Edit
Wizards of the Coast was founded by Peter Adkison in 1990 just outside Seattle, Washington, and their headquarters is still in nearby Renton. Originally the company only published role-playing games such as the third edition of Talislanta.
At 1993 Gen Con the company presented Magic: The Gathering, which success was so big that its revenue helped to solve numerous other problems Wizards has been having at that time. In 1994, they expanded their role-playing game line by buying SLA Industries from Nightfall Games and Ars Magica from White Wolf, Inc. In 1995 they released Everway and then closed their roleplaying game product line with Peter Adkison explaining that they were doing a disservice to the games with lack of support and had lost money on all of their roleplaying game products. In 1997, Wizards of the Coast was granted US patent 5662332 on Collectible card games, followed by the purchase of TSR, Inc., the cash-strapped makers of Dungeons & Dragons.
Many of the creative and professional staff of TSR relocated from Wisconsin to the Renton area, and Wizards re-hired many game designers who had been laid off during the troubled last years of TSR. TSR was used as a brand name for a while, then retired. Wizards of the Coast allowed the TSR trademarks to expire. The game and toy giant Hasbro bought Wizards of the Coast in September 1999. Between 1997 and 1999, they spun off several well-loved but poorly-selling campaign settings (most notably Planescape, Dark Sun and Spelljammer) to fan groups, focusing their business primarily on the profitable Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms lines.
Right now Wizards of the Coast publish several rules supplements, campaign setting supplements and adventures every year, together with updating the old books with web enhancements, erratas, additional maps and customer support.
There is also a tendency to explore the best bits of the older D&D editions and to migrate them to 3.5.

Small steps now, or big solutions? Both.
I recently replied to a question on the National Journal blog on what's keeping Washington from making the type of progress on energy and climate policy that is being made on other issues.
You can read responses at the National Journal.
Here is my response:
Climate change is like these issues in some respects and unlike them in others. Tragic precipitating events have moved gun control to the fore, and personal experience (i.e., knowing a family member or friend who is gay) has changed public attitudes towards gay marriage. Both precipitating events and personal experience are brought together in climate change, with wildfires, floods, droughts, heat waves, and major storms touching the lives of millions of Americans over the past couple years. This may be why polling is showing an increasing awareness that climate change is real, happening now, and a problem we need to do something about.
Climate change is also something like immigration reform, however, in that there are complex economic issues involved. For climate change, the economic issues are probably the single biggest reason we haven't addressed climate change as quickly as the science indicates we should.
Should we try to move forward in a piecemeal fashion, or does this policy area require big solutions? The answer is: Yes.
C2ES has published a policy guide which identifies a range of steps that could be taken by the Obama Administration to reduce carbon emissions and make our communities more climate-resistant -- actions already authorized under existing law. We should move forward on these measures. They'll just be the first steps, however.
At some point, hopefully soon, and perhaps informed by the lessons of our early steps, we need Congress to put a price on carbon emissions. This will reward inventors and investors for advancing the energy technologies that will grow our economy while cutting our emissions.

18 Deaths, 100 Cases in Listeria/Cantaloupe Outbreak
Latest Infectious Disease News
20 States Now Report Cases as Outbreak Toll Rises
By Daniel J. DeNoon
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Oct. 4, 2011 -- Eighteen people now are confirmed dead in the ongoing listeria outbreak from contaminated cantaloupes.
The CDC confirms that 100 people in 20 states have been infected with one of the four outbreak strains of Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria frequently causes miscarriage, stillbirth, or preterm birth when it infects a pregnant woman. Two pregnant women have been infected in the current outbreak. The CDC reports that "the outcome of each pregnancy is being monitored."
The contaminated cantaloupes came from Jensen Farms in Holly, Colo. All of these cantaloupes were recalled on Sept. 14. All were shipped by Sept. 10. Since cantaloupes have a shelf life of about two weeks, few if any of the melons are still being eaten.
But listeria can take up to two months to cause serious illness -- and it takes longer for these illnesses to be reported. The CDC notes that illnesses beginning after Sept. 7 may not yet be reported. That means the case count, and death toll, is likely to rise even further.
There have been five deaths in Colorado, two in Kansas, one in Maryland, one in Missouri, one in Nebraska, five in New Mexico, one in Oklahoma, and two in Texas.
The states reporting cases are:
Nearly all people infected in the outbreak have been hospitalized. Most illnesses are in people over age 60. The ages of those sickened in the outbreak range from 35 to 96 with a median age of 79.
Cantaloupes that are known not to come from Jensen Farms are safe to eat.
According to the CDC, people who have eaten listeria-contaminated cantaloupes (or other foods) do not need to seek medical attention unless they have symptoms.
Listeriosis Symptoms
The disease caused by listeria bacteria is called listeriosis. Although listeriosis is a food-borne illness, when you have symptoms of the disease it usually means the bacteria have escaped the digestive tract and are spreading throughout the body. Listeriosis often results in fatal meningitis or encephalitis.
Listeriosis usually begins with diarrhea or other intestinal symptoms. Patients soon develop fever and muscle aches. What happens next depends on a person's risk factors:
Foods typically linked to listeriosis are deli meats, hot dogs, and soft cheeses made with unpasteurized milk. Produce is less often linked to outbreaks, although listeria is found in soil and water. Listeria is killed by cooking, but it can grow and multiply in refrigerators.
How to Avoid Listeria
The CDC has issued this advice:
As other foods besides cantaloupes can carry listeria, the CDC recommends these general steps to avoid listeriosis:

Brevard, N.C. - Gaither Hendrix scored 15 points and Darius Moose added 10 as the Tornados built a halftime lead over the visiting Wingate Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon in Boshamer Gymnasium. A balanced offensive attack in the second half by the Bulldogs behind 10 points by Odell Turner led the Wingate comeback as Brevard fell to the visiting Bulldogs, 61-57.
Brevard (2-15, 1-7 SAC) led by as many as 17 points in the first half as Darius Moose and Jermichael Tanner led the Tornados offense as Brevard shot 52.0 percent (13-25) in the opening 20 minutes, but Wingate (10-8, 6-2 SAC) opened the second half on a 28-11 run to tie the game up at 47 apiece and Eddie Lewis drained a three-pointer with 14 ticks remaining in the game as the Bulldogs pulled off the comeback in Boshamer.
Hendrix led all scorers with 15 points as the Tornados shot 47.8 percent (22-46) from the floor in the contest. Moose added 10 points and six rebounds, while Tanner added nine points on 4-of-6 shooting from the floor in the loss.
Turner, Paidrick Matilus and Jaime Vaughn led a balanced Wingate attack with 12 points apiece as Wingate had 11 players score in the contest. The Bulldogs shot 64.0 percent (16-25) from the floor in the second half to record their fourth consecutive victory over the Tornados.
Dominique Pickett hit his first two three-point attempts to open the scoring in the game as Brevard raced out to a 10-2 lead in the first three minutes of the contest. Wingate rallied back to take a one-point lead at 11-10 on a layup by Turner at the 14:29 mark, but a Hendrix jump shot two possessions later swung the advantage back to the Tornados.
Hendrix's jumper sparked a 15-4 run capped by back-to-back three-pointer by Tanner and Ryson Felder as the Tornados went up 27-15 with 5:53 remaining in the first period. A layup by Mike Tyson with 3:18 to go brought the Bulldogs back within single digits at 27-18, but Brevard closed out the half with a 9-1 run, taking their largest lead of the game at 36-19 on a Hendrix jumper in the paint to head into the halftime break with the lead.
The Bulldogs jumped out the half with a 12-4 run to cut the lead back to within single digits again at the 16:44 mark as Matilus ran off six consecutive points for the Bulldogs to put the score at 40-31. The run continued as the Bulldogs brought the game back to within one possession on a jumper by Turner at the 13:47 mark to put the score at 41-38.
Baskets by Filip Gujanicic, Tanner and Hendrix kept the Tornados ahead for the next five minutes, but Lewis knotted the game up for the first time, hitting a free throw at the 8:48 mark to tie the score up at 47 apiece.
The teams would keep the score close the remainder of the contest, with Hendrix tying the game up for the fourth time in the second half with a jumper at the 1:29 mark to put the score at 57-57. Turner answered from the free throw line with a free throw to give the Bulldogs the lead and following a Hendrix miss, Lewis drained a three-pointer from the left corner with 14 seconds remaining as the Bulldogs escaped Brevard with the 61-57 victory.
Brevard returns to the road as they close out their first trip through the South Atlantic Conference on Wednesday, January 25th, as they travel to Newberry, S.C. to take on Newberry College. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Wolves in Eleazer Arena is set for 8 p.m.

Start early.
That's the internship advice of Janet Zeman, executive director
of the Mount Saint Mary College Career Center.
"Internships are known across the business world as a way to
advance your career, so everyone does internships these days," she
"There are so many applicants for a limited number of positions.
If students don't have an early plan, they miss opportunities for
which they're quite capable."
The Career Center reaches out to Mount students beginning in
their sophomore year, said Zeman.
She cited the success of Bryan De La Rosa '08, a biology major,
who began his internship search early. Through working in several
settings – including the New York University Medical Center and the
SUNY State College of Optometry in New York City – De La Rosa
discovered his career passions.
Thanks to the experience he gained, De La Rosa is now employed
by the New York City Police Department, using his biology expertise
for forensic work.
Margaret Treacy '13, a communications-production major from
Monroe, NY, enjoyed an internship with the Orange County Chamber of
Treacy edited promotional videos for the chamber. Many were
screened at events that the Chamber hosted, such as the recent
TechXpo. Another of her videos was shown on a giant screen at the
Castle Fun Center in Chester, NY.
"My internship experience will help me in the future with skills
to network, maintain a website, and promote business," said Tracey.
"A company may have the best brand, the best idea, or maybe even
the best product, but if they can't spread their message, how can
anyone enjoy their product or service? Part of what I learned is
targeting their audience in the most effective way."
Artiana Hadzibrahimi, an interdisciplinary major from Newburgh,
NY, and Anthony Fragomeni, a history-political science major from
Beacon, NY, both interned at Jacobowitz and Gubits, LLP in Walden,
Hadzibrahimi and Fragomeni assisted in legal research and
shadowed Jacobowitz and Gubits lawyers, both in the office and at
court proceedings.
"This internship has helped in all sorts of ways," Fragomeni
explained. "It's taught me the business side of being a
Hadzibrahimi agreed.
"It was a great learning experience," she said. "Michael L. Fox
[litigation managing attorney at Jacobowitz and Gubits] did a lot
for me. He taught me all about litigation and communication."
According to Fox, Hadzibrahimi was a great asset for the
"We were very happy to have Artiana, and all of our past Mount
Saint Mary interns, work with us in our practice," he said. "We
have found them all to be eager to learn, and quick to participate
in assignments. The experience is certainly a mutually beneficial
one from our perspective."
Hadzibrahimi, a junior, looks forward to a career as a
Fragomeni graduated with a bachelor's degree in May, and will
return to the Mount to begin his master's in business
administration this fall. He's aiming to open a small business and
go to law school.
He said he owes much of his success to the Mount's Career Center
for getting him started on his internship.
"The Career Center has been really helpful," said Fragomeni. "I
advise students to go to the Career Center as quickly as
Mount students are serious about their professional futures, and
the college's Career Center aids them on the path to success. The
center offers internship and co-op experiences which open doors to
varied job opportunities in the Hudson Valley, the Capital Region,
New York City, Long Island, and beyond.

A campus security officer found a gun in a San Bernardino High School student's backpack Thursday, according to district officials.
The student, 16, was booked into juvenile hall in San Bernardino on charges of possessing a firearm on school grounds and being a minor in possession of a firearm, district spokeswoman Linda Bardere said Friday.
"It was during class and the CSO was doing his rounds, wondering what these two boys were doing in the bathroom," Bardere said. "He found one young man to be in possession of a backpack, and upon searching it he found the gun."
The other student was disciplined for skipping class, she said.
School police don't think the student intended to use the gun, she said, but they're not sure why he brought it.
"There's no indication that the weapon was taken out of the backpack or anything like that," she said.
The incident was at 11:10 a.m., one day after another San Bernardino High student was found with an airsoft BB gun, but Bardere said police didn't think there was a connection. She didn't have information on how many weapons have been found at the school this year and whether there was an increase.
The San Bernardino City Unified School District's new safety task force, formed in response to the killing of 26 people at Sandyhook Elementary School in Connecticut, will first meet Feb. 28, Bardere said.

Rock Hill, S.C. - Brevard College Linebacker Stanley Jones was named the South Atlantic Conference Defensive Football Player of the Week this morning, as announced by the South Atlantic Conference headquarters located in Rock Hill, S.C. Jones is the first BC football player to receive the SAC Player of the Week recognition.
Jones a senior from Spartanburg, S.C.(Spartanburg HS) led the way for the defense, as he posted a team-high 16 total tackles in the Tornados 27-24 win over Chowan in the Brevard home opener on Saturday afternoon. Jones also recorded three tackles for a loss and was a part of three sacks in the game as the Tornados dropped Hawks quarterback C.J. Westler a school-record nine times in the game.
Jones leads the SAC in tackles on the season. He led the conference in tackles per game last season with 9.8 and was a first team preseason All-Conference selection.
Mars Hill College running back Jonas Randolph was named Offensive Player of the Week; Brevard College linebacker Stanley Jones was named Defensive Player of the Week; and Mars Hill wide receiver Demetrius Smedley was named Special Teams Player of the Week.
Randolph, a sophomore running back from Daleville, Ala. (Daleville HS), rushed for 216 yards and two scores and set a new school record for most rushing attempts in a game with 43. The old record was held by Travis McFadden who rushed 39 times against Presbyterian College in 2001.
Smedley, a freshmanm from Decatur, Ga. (S.W. Dekalb HS) blocked a punt, then chased the loose ball 38 yards to recover it in the Falcons endzone for Mars Hill's second score of the game. He then scored on a PAT rush to put MHC up for good 20-14 and seal a Lion home opening victory.

FAA: No U.S. Flights To Or From Tel Aviv
The FAA is barring U.S. airlines from flying into or out of Tel Aviv for the next 24 hours as fighting continues between Israel and Hamas. Earlier today, Delta, American and United all announced that they'd stop flying to Ben Gurion Airport over concerns of rocket fire. The FAA says it can confirm that a rocket landed about a mile from Israel's main international airport earlier today. The agency says it will continue to monitor the situation and let the airlines know when those flights can resume.

Re: Ravens - Chargers Predicition Thread
Funny thing is, I had more confidence in the Ravens going into Shittsburgh and getting a W than going into SD and leaving with a win.
I still think the Ravens pull out a close one,
26 - 20
However, the game isn't as close a the score suggests.
Re: Ravens - Chargers Predicition Thread
I have a bad feeling about this one. Chargers 20 - 16.

Re: Ravens - Chargers Predicition Thread
If the Ravens had won there last year, then I would have been a lot more concerned about this game. The real story concerning last year's debacle was this: "They never got off the bus" (as Bruce Laird might have said it). That was a typical, roughly once a season, 'let's get this one over with' game where the offense and defense play with zero intensity. The game this Sunday will have very little resemblance to last year's blowout.
Unlike last season's preparation for the Chargers, the Ravens have plenty of motivation to 'show up' in San Diego this time around. For a team with serious Super Bowl aspirations, they KNOW - players and coaches alike - that their performance on the road this season is THE major obstacle they need to overcome. They are running out of opportunities to fix the problem BEFORE they enter a postseason which, very likely, will require them to win on the road once again. Otherwise, no Super Bowl once again. The results on Thanksgiving clearly illustrate that the Ravens can expect NO help from the rest of the league in the final six weeks of this season. So, they have had plenty to work on this Week 12 with plenty of motivation to boot.
P.S. Ed Reed does NOT need to play this game. The one-game suspension would have been a perfect opportunity to rest his banged-up shoulder for the Steelers and Roethlisberger.

Re: Ravens - Chargers Predicition Thread
I said this was a loss at the beginning and I'm still stickin with that. Our offensive road woes continue against a hlfway decent defense in SD. Their offense wont do anything against us and I bet we get half a dozen sacks and force 3+ turnovers. Still not enough as our O wont be able to score.
Oh what the hell I'll be a homer 17-13 Ravens, all 3 scores off TO's and one of the TD's being a pick 6. Really the only way I see us winning this game to be honest.
Re: Ravens - Chargers Predicition Thread
I'm going with the big homer prediction: 20-9, Ravens.
Our Red Zone D continues to be the best in the NFL, and Flacco and Co. take advantage of some Charger turnovers...

This is a must win game for the Chargers.
Ravens, on the road, on the west coast, sandwiched between Steeler games, with a banged-up secondary. Don't like the vibe of this one...

Once again ive been approached by someone who has been warned away from training at Quannum by Dave Riley from Honley. Does anyone know this guys credentials?
Hes claiming people should stay away from our gym as we take things too seriously and smash up any newcomers. Those who have trained with us know its not the case but this sort of publicity can cause longlasting damage to our reputation. This is the fifth lad over I have heard the exact same thing from.
I would invite anyone who is unsure to com and watch our training sessions if they arent happy and its not for them then so be it. Dont take the word of some unknown clown who wouldnt know MMA if it kicked his arse.
I am prepared to fight this guy on any pro show as I feel hes taking food from my kids table and his bullshit is harming not only our gym but the reputation of the sport in our area. Off the fuckin chain will be an understatement!! Put up or shut the fuck up.

It was necessary to return the slippers due to the fact that they were painful to wear for the gentleman they were intended. That's not to say the problem was with the slippers but possibly with the recipient.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Somewhat awkward at first. Seemed like arch was too high. But I later realized the show was stretching the arch. After wearing several hours, my heel pain is gone.
