Like most people I know, I'm obsessed with the Wire. I've watched the entire five-series set from start to finish twice, and I'm itching to do it again. One of the strengths of the show is the way it manages to make extremely powerful political points in a subtle way – characters don't give moralising sermons that are directed at the audience. Instead, we're left to see for ourselves how the interconnected web of rotting institutions that comprise David Simon's Baltimore conspire to keep its citizens down.
One of the more heartbreaking storylines concerns the Baltimore school system, which is depicted as a bleak, bureaucratic wasteland in which talented students, teachers and administrators labour in vain to overcome the inherent limitations of the system. A big part of the problem is simple: money. Specifically, they don't have enough of it.
The school system's lack of money, in turn, is due to the structure of the American tax system. In the US, a lot of the functions of government like education are devolved to the local level. The amount of money that's available for schools, police and all the other vital functions of government therefore depends on the amount of tax revenue that the local government is able to raise. That means that poor areas, in which few people work and there are no significant businesses, can't devote much money to these services, simply because the tax base isn't there. Thus begins the horrible vicious circle in which poor areas stay poor.
In Australia, we've sought to overcome this problem by equalising the funds available between states. The idea is that each state or territory should have enough resources to fund an equal standard of government services, so that citizens can expect decent schools and hospitals no matter which state they happen to live in. This principle is known as "horizontal fiscal equalisation" and it underlies the Commonwealth Grants Commission's calculations of the share of GST revenue that each state will receive. Formally, the CGC defines horizontal fiscal equalisation as:
a distribution of GST revenue to State governments such that, after allowing for material factors affecting revenues and expenditures, each would have the fiscal capacity to provide services and their associated infrastructure at the same standard, if each made the same effort to raise revenue from its own sources, operated at the same level of efficiency and maintained the average per capita net financial worth.
Behind that dense, nearly impenetrable fog of bureaucratic obfuscation is the simple idea that all Australians should be able to expect decent government services. In practice, this means that wealthier areas, which can derive a lot of extra revenue from activities like mining, transfer funds to states without the same ability to raise their own revenue. The Northern Territory is the prime recipient state, but Tasmania and South Australia both also receive more GST revenue than their citizens pay.
With the mining boom in full swing, the West Australian government is able to raise a lot of revenue from mining royalties, as well as from increased payroll taxes and stamp duties. That means that its citizens pay more in GST than the state receives back from the Grants Commission, as some of the funds are sent to the Northern Territory and elsewhere.
Colin Barnett, the WA Premier, does not support this system. He has suggested that WA's diminishing share of the GST funds could incite a "Tea Party style revolt" in the West. Let's set aside the fact that WA still received more GST revenue than its citizens paid as recently as 2005/06, when the rivers of royalty gold were already flowing strongly into State Treasury's coffers. Let's also forget the inconvenient truth that the Grants Commission and the principle of horizontal fiscal equalisation were created for WA's benefit when the state was a struggling economic minnow back in the 1920s.
Barnett's position is morally reprehensible not just for its hypocrisy, but for its callousness. The notion that there should be a special deal to allow WA to retain a greater proportion of its GST payments would imply, necessarily, that WA residents would be entitled to expect better quality schools and hospitals than residents of poorer states. Poor kids in the Northern Territory or Tasmania would have a lower quality education than citizens lucky enough to be born in WA, thus further entrenching and amplifying regional inequalities in future generations.
It's this sort of ruthless indifference to poorer areas that underpins the American approach, illustrated so vividly on the Wire. I'm not claiming that a recalibrated Commonwealth Grants Commission funding formula would lead us to a situation like Simon's Baltimore, but I am suggesting that any deviation from the principle of citizens' equal entitlement to government services would be a disastrous and repugnant step, however tentative, in that direction.
Until January this year, I had never lived anywhere other than Perth. It's a great city and a great state, but the collective indignation about the state's share of GST revenue is unedifying and does the state no credit.

A disciple is a learner and discipleship is one who is a follower of a teacher. The idea of discipleship in Scripture is that one is a follower/student of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the New Testament and especially in the Gospels Christ is referred to as the Teacher very often. Yes, Christ was and is the Master Teacher. Christ taught with parables, miracles and public encounters with numerous times, places and individuals.
There are many references in Scripture to discipleship, but one of the most pungent is located in the Gospel of Luke chapter 14. Verse 25 sets the stage for the remaining 10 verses, "And there went great multitudes with him and he turned and said unto them…" What the Lord Jesus said to this multitude of followers is that I shall give unto you the test of discipleship or we might say the hindrances of discipleship. In speaking to this multitude of followers He on more than one occasion used the word "cannot" in his teachings. Discipleship in this passage can be determined by some rather defined illustrations and explanations. For our study today let us focus on six thoughts that the Master Teacher said to His followers (Remember the Lord chose 12 disciples and personally taught them @ three years. Remember also the great New Testament Paul said, "I have learned…"
Let us be reminded as we observe these 6 powerful thought and teachings presented to His followers with the word "Cannot" emphasize. In each of the 6 illustrations a contrast, conditions and conclusions are recorded. Please take time to read and reread these 10 verses that are very attention getting.
Unbroken ties. One of the greatest hindrances to discipleship is the fact that we many times continue to hold to the circle of relationships developed previously. This verse gives many new believers a negative thought. However, the truth taught here is the contrast that now we have the wonderful Savior in our life. Our relationship with Christ is now to be compared and contrasted with any and all others.
Unused Crosses…Now as a Christian, one must identify himself with the Savior. It is the cross that the world associates Christ with. It is the cross that we too must identify ourselves with.
Unfinished Buildings…On a daily basis, God wants us to arise and count the cost of what may be before us as one of His followers. Too many times we are winging it. We face the world and its challenges without first going to the Teacher and guide. And building must have a plan and a blueprint.
Unfought Battles…The thought here is similar to the previous one but different in that one failed to get counsel. As a newer believer one must seek to gather around those who have fought the battle already.
Unoffered Possessions…For some reason it is the possession of things that can very easily bring defeat to believers and non-believers as well. God says in His Word that we cannot serve God and mammon or riches. One must read from Luke 18:18 the story of the Rich Young Ruler. Christ only wanted him to offer his great possessions but he would not and went away sorrowful.
Unsalted Salt…This of course is an interesting term "unsalted salt". However salt is either salty or not salty. If it is not salty it is of no use. This salt seems to rehearse what the previous thoughts have said to us. One must know for sure that God wants us to grow up as one of His disciples.
"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." Galatians 6:14.
Someone said of the English preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon, "Mr. Spurgeon all your sermons sound alike," to which he answered without apology, "yes, I take a text anywhere in the Bible and make a beeline for the cross." It is said that 95% of Spurgeon's sermon centered about the cross. Mr. Spurgeon is one of the most published authors in modern church history and if you have read any of his sermons one knows that he speaks on many, many Bible subjects. What is meant by this statement is that Mr. Spurgeon always brought salvation into his messages and of course the cross is the place to go.
Perhaps it would be good this year of 2015 to direct more of our time and attention to the work and ministry of the Cross of Christ to reinforce our standing as a child of God and to point others to the cross as well. John 19:25 begins with these words, "Now there stood by the cross of Jesus…" We often quote Galatians 2:20 beginning, "I am crucified with Christ…"
The cross is the heart of the Gospel, the sum and substance of all that God has done for man and all that man has done against God. On the cross the Son of God paid the supreme price, bearing our sins in His own body on the tree that we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness
The cross is prominent in the Old Testament. We could begin in the Garden of Eden and the right and wrong sacrifice which points to the Savior and the Cross. Of course, there are many more examples that we can go to as well but let us choose. Perhaps my favorite is Numbers 21:7-9, where the serpent of brass is placed on a pole in the wilderness and Jesus Himself makes reference to it when He does witness to Nicodemus in the Gospel of John chapter three.
The cross is central in the New Testament. It was the message of John the Baptist the fore-runner of the Lord when he introduced Him as "the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." It was Peter that proclaimed Christ as the crucified one on the day of Pentecost. It was Paul who traveled across Asia and Europe and magnified the cross to many as he helped to establish new churches.
The cross is a fact of history. One hundred and seventy-five times His death is mentioned in the New Testament. In the last twenty-four hours of our Lord's life thirty-two prophecies were fulfilled. Twenty-five of the 89 chapters of the four Gospels' accounts speak of His death.
What do we see when we look at the cross? The Romans saw another helpless victim of imperial tyranny. The Greeks saw another blight on their culture and on the history of civilization. The Jews saw another false messiah dying. One of thieves saw another criminal dying with him. The other thief saw the Just dying for the unjust. God saw His Son dying for the sins of the whole world. We see Christ, our Savior, bearing our sins in His own body on the cruel cross.
Take some time and look for the many, many song titles with the message of the cross. However, our prayer should be in the words of this old song, "Jesus, keep me near the cross."
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19. Paul of course is addressing the church in Philippi because of their help to him while a prisoner. The church had sent Epaphroditus to bring to him a supply as he was held up in prison. Space will not permit us to describe the conditions in the prison where Paul was being held. Paul was sending a thank you note to this church for their help in his hour of need. While in prison Paul writes in chapter one, Paul sees Christ as his life "For to me to live is Christ Chapter 1:21." In chapter two, Christ is the model of true humility, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus chapter 2:5." Chapter three presents Christ as the One "Who shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body" 3:21. In chapter four, He is the source of Paul's power over circumstances, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me," 4:13.
It is the Apostle Paul who as we read of his many temptations, his many exploits in sharing the gospel and his many physical confrontations suffered that has a right to say to us in this great promise in Philippians 4:19, "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Many times in quoting this verse we use the plural of the word need as "needs" rather than just the singular used here as "need". When God sees our life He sees the need as He sees us and He sees our need encompassed as one. Amen.
Join with me as we take this verse and look at the several aspects of this blessed promise. We will take a moment and look at just five thought that embrace this glorious verse.
"ALL YOUR NEED…" A GREAT NECESSITY. It is difficult of course to try and comprehend the truth of these three words. Try to calculate what all your needs are and all those around you and all those that you may know somewhat and then those that you do not know. God is able to supply "all your need". Someone said not our wants but "all our need". Mainly this verse should turn our attention for 2015 upward from "whence" cometh our help.
"MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED" A GREAT HELPER. Some of us may think that for some reason the Lord did not supply our needs last year or that he is not able to supply our needs this year so let us go to our great helper and seek His help and supply.
"MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEED" A GREAT SUPPLY. Are we now ready and willing to cast all our care upon Him for He careth for us? God is the creator and sustainer of life. God, we must admit, has the resources to meet our need.
MY GOD…RICHES IN GLORY" A GREAT RESOURCE. This supply is not coming from organization or worldly sources but from His riches in glory. The needs are great but can we compare them with His riches in glory?
"ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES…BY CHRIST JESUS". A GLORIOUS CHANNEL. We have looked at our need and we have looked at the riches and resources but how do we receive this supply? The channel of our supply is "by Christ Jesus".
There will be a Men's Meeting on Saturday (1/10) at 4 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. All men (ages 12 and up) are encouraged to attend. There is a cost of $5 that will cover a meal that will be provided.
The Ladies Soul-winning will start up again on Tuesday (1/6) at 9:30 in room 321. Whether you are a seasoned soul-winner or new to soul winning, please join us.

The Lighthouse Bible Institute's Spring 2015 Semester will begin on Monday (1/5) at 7 p.m. For course information, please see our Bible Institute page or contact Brother Prock (461-5561 Ext 115 or email firstname.lastname@example.com)
Genesis 1:5…"God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
Another year has gone and the mystery of time again challenges us. Job said, "My days are swifter that a weaver's shuttle" (Job 7:6); as one looks backward it seems almost as if the years pass swifter than a weaver's shuttle.
We measure time by clocks and watches. However, since the dawn of time man has attempted to measure time by many and varied objects including the hourglass. Today we have modern and sophisticated time pieces. But all clocks and time pieces, whether ancient or modern, tell out the same relentless story, time moves on and someday for all of us, time will merge into eternity.
Time is a strange thing. Let us consider some of the important lessons that "time" should teach us.
TIME NEVER MOVES BACKWARD. IT CANNOT BE RECALLED. How often do we say or hear the statement, "I wish I had that moment, day or year back?"
TIME HAD A BEGINNING AND TIME WILL HAVE AN END. The Book of the Revelation tells us that "time shall be no more". Yes, there will be the sober truth that time will have an ending.
TIME WILL MERGE INTO ETERNITY FOR ALL OF US. This should and must be one of the most solemn thoughts that enter the human mind. There is an eternity and each of us will live there in one of two places prepare for the human race. Those two places are heaven and hell. What we do with the Lord Jesus Christ determines where we will spend eternity. (See Romans 6:23).
TIME IS MEASURED; TIME IS SHORT, FOR ALL OF US. Sometimes we are engaged by the statement, "your time is short". Time is short for our Christian service. We are admonished to make our time count. As we look back over the past year how did time serve us or better still how did we serve time? Time may be short for those of us who read these words of admonition regarding time. For our unsaved friends the Scripture states, "Today is the day of salvation, now is the time".
TIME AND MATERIAL THINGS ARE CLOSELY ASSOCIATED, AND WILL BOTH PASS AWAY. "We look not at things which are seen: for the things which are seen are temporal"—connected with time— "but the things which are not seen are eternal." The question is, "where are we looking?" Further still, where are we making our investments? God does say that we could and should lay up for eternity
WE SHOULD REMEMBER THE EXHORTATION, "Redeeming the time because the days are evil." The word "redeem" means to "go into the market and buy up." God is instructing us to make the very best use of the time before us in 2015.
GOD IS ABOVE TIME. God made time for mankind not for Himself. "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" (11 Peter 3:8). I like what Moses wrote in Psalms 90:12, "So teach us to number our days…" If we number our days then most likely the year will be a more profitable one. Again the psalmist says, "This is the day which the Lord hath made".
All Couples are invited to a New Year's Fellowship on Wednesday (12/31) from 5-9 pm in the Fellowship Hall. This is a Pot-luck Fellowship so please bring a dish or dessert to share. Drinks will be provided. For questions or more information, please contact Brother Eric Rader

By Jim Porçarelli, Active International
It's an all-too-familiar sight these days. A man walks into a local retail establishment. He browses the products. He finds one he likes. He tests it out, asks a few questions of a salesperson -- and then snaps an image of the product's barcode with his cell phone and walks out the door.
That retailer just did all the heavy lifting for what ultimately ended up being an online purchase through Amazon.com, which -- more than likely -- offers a noteworthy price break. This trend, known as "showrooming," is one of the single greatest challenges facing brick-and-mortar retailers today. Even those with robust online presences, like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy, are scurrying to keep up by upping their online inventories, offering exclusive products, encouraging in-store pickup for online sales to save on delivery fees, and matching online prices and offering free shipping.
But ultimately, Amazon is winning where it matters to the recession-traumatized customer: price. According to a William Blair & Co. study, Amazon is offering prices 14% lower than Target's and 9% lower than Walmart's. And while most retailers once hoped that often-substantial shipping costs would dissuade online shoppers, services such as Amazon Prime (which offers free shipping and other benefits to Amazon customers for $79 a year) and companies like Zappos (the online shoe retailer that famously offers free domestic shipping and returns) are quickly breaking down any e-commerce hesitations that once existed in the minds of customers.
So how can retailers and manufacturers better compete with Amazon and other Internet giants in an age where all the rules of consumption have changed? Brick-and-mortar companies can beat themselves over the heads all day long trying to lower their prices. But ultimately, that's a losing proposition. Rather, retailers and manufacturers need to consider the ways in which they can make better use of their existing assets, add value to the shopping experience, and foster customer loyalty through exceptional interactions. The following are ways in which successful companies are doing just that.
Create an experience
Today's most successful companies know that customers aren't always just buying a product -- they're buying a lifestyle. Does anyone actually think that Starbucks' coffee is 10 times better than what they could brew at home? Probably not. But people are willing to pay a 10-fold premium. And that's because people aren't buying coffee. They're buying the cafes. They're buying the baristas who smile and ask their names. They're buying the ability to say, "Jeez. I just can't get going in the morning without my Starbucks."
Starbucks almost forgot that the experience is what its success is based on. When the recession hit, the company took a dive. It closed hundreds of stores, initiated massive layoffs, and was ravaged by the stock market. But then former CEO Howard Schultz returned and reminded the company about why it ever found success in the first place -- the experience. And in renewing the company's focus on the customer experience, Schultz brought the brand back from the brink.
Get more intimate
Today's retailers and brands would do well to take a page from the Starbucks playbook and place a greater emphasis on the customer experience. Customers today aren't going to big-box retailers because they want more exercise. They don't enjoy combing aisle-upon-massive-aisle while looking for the specific product that meets their needs. That's why so many customers are turning online -- where they can find exactly what they need without having to expel the energy required to traverse a warehouse of goods.
Retailers can and should create more-intimate shopping experiences that don't require customers to wander up and down aisles of merchandise-crammed shelves. This can be done both offline and online. Small, boutique-style stores-within-a-store can be created to improve the shopping experience by showcasing many products in a small amount of space. Likewise, mobile apps and other technology can be leveraged to guide customers through stores and facilitate online buying through the retailer's own channels.
In a unique execution, Men's Journal created a pop-up retail experience where the products featured within its pages were put on display in a dynamic and experiential way. Customers were able to peruse and interact with gear and then, while still on-site, access digital kiosks to make their purchases. This enabled customers to experience the brand and its touted products in an intimate setting, without the need to navigate an expansive mall of merchandise.
Leverage unused assets
Today's retailers and manufacturers often find themselves burdened with excess. Excess inventory. Excess space. Excess locations. Excess equipment. All too often, their inclination is to throw up their hands and eat the loss. But that's not necessary.
Corporate trade partners can help retailers put their excess inventory and other assets to work for them, frequently enabling them to realize much better returns on these assets than through traditional liquidators. Furthermore, retailers can swap out burdensome overhead costs for services that improve their customers' experiences. Excess inventory, real estate holdings or capital equipment can be leveraged in lieu of cash to purchase much-needed goods and services such as ad space, freight, warehousing and more. Corporate trade can help create an immersive in-store experiences through signage, custom fixtures, and interactive display units. And then use media to drive consumers to those experiences.
Yes, it's a challenging landscape out there for the modern companies. But it's not hopeless. By focusing on the customer experience and better leveraging existing assets, retailers and manufacturers can better compete with the likes of Amazon.com and other Internet giants. Corporate trade partners can help.

Sean Hayes
Spotlight show • For six years, San Francisco soul-singing rocker Sean Hayes had a lyric floating around his head: "You may spend all your money before you turn to dust." It kept coming up during his songwriting along with an image of a baby but he never was able to use it. That is, until his son was born two years ago. Now, along with those opening lines, come the lyrics: "My little boy is smiling, soon he'll be sitting up, holding his own weight, grabbing for you." "It took a long time for that song to reveal itself," said Hayes, whose album "Before We Turn to Dust" was released, unfortunately, on Sept. 11, 2012. (It wasn't his intention for the album title to refer to the 9/11 tragedy.) Having a child has changed him, Hayes said. He had a long conversation with his wife before deciding to have a child, just as he had a long conversation with her when they were deciding to get married. He didn't want to be an absentee dad, and he hasn't been, although this State Room date is the last show of a six-week trek. While he is happy to be playing music for a living, he's also happy that he gets to see his son very soon. Birds of Chicago and Awna Teixeira open.
When • Friday, Nov. 16, 9 p.m.
Where • The State Room, 638 S. State St., Salt Lake City
Tickets • $16 at thestateroom.com
Spotlight show • British three-piece blues-soul-rock band Leogun is led by frontman Tommy Smith, who when he was younger would do his best to sneak backstage to talk to people who could help him boost his career. "It's better to be on your own, really," Smith said about going backstage. "It's a solo act." In addition, he was advised, be confident, but not arrogant. One of those backstage visits paid off. He ended up meeting someone from Elton John's management company, and before Smith knew it, he and his band were the flagship signee of Yamaha's new record label. Elton John's connections also helped the trio get studio time at Nashville's legendary Blackbird Studio, where Pearl Jam, Tim McGraw and Bruce Springtseen have all recorded. Leogun released its first EP in October, with a full-length debut due in early 2013. And if you catch these guys backstage at The Complex, offer them your demo. "It's a compliment when people ask them to listen to a demo," Smith said. "You never know what you'll find." Codi Jordan Band and Spirit Master open.
When • Saturday, Nov. 17, 8 p.m.

Tickets • $8 in advance, $10 day of, at SmithsTix
Kip Moore
Spotlight show • Eric Church's headlining country set at the Maverik Center will open with two talented Moores of no relation Kip Moore and Justin Moore. While Justin has delivered hits such as "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away," Kip is having a breakout year and is making his first stop in Utah this weekend. Kip grew up in tiny Tifton, Ga., "one of those towns were you had to create a good time," he said. He landed in Nashville as a songwriter, penning hits for other artists, until releasing his debut album, "Up All Night," in April. He immediately scored a No. 1 hit with "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck," which he co-wrote with Dan Couch after what Kip called a particular "sy" day of songwriting. As Couch was leaving for the night, Moore said he started riffing on the guitar with that line, and Couch perked up, and then they sat down and wrote the song in about 90 minutes. "I did it the wild way," Kip said.
When • Saturday, Nov. 17, 7:30 p.m.

Tickets • $34.50-$202 at Ticketmaster
Spotlight show • The British Columbia-based duo of Brian King (guitar, vocals) and David Prowse (drums, vocals) started playing shows in 2006, but had broken up just as their debut record was released in 2009. "At the time, we were just a local band in Vancouver that no one knew about," King said. "It had been three years, [we] had only played between 50 and 60 shows, recorded a few EPs. It had been fun." But they parted ways until fans and critics began raving about the album, and Japandroids were back in business. In May, the duo released its sophomore set, "Celebration Rock," an inspired blast of garage-rock that convinces you that a bass guitar really isn't necessary in the whole scheme of things. "A lot of people perceive that the band was an overnight success or an Internet sensation," King said. "It's been a long grueling climb." But the climb has been worth it. "You can tangibly hear the band getting better." Swearin' will open.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Spotlight show • Trans-Siberian Orchestra is performing its rock opera "The Lost Christmas Eve" for the first time ever on its current tour. Creator Paul O'Neill said turning that song cycle into a laser-and-lights, classical-meets-rock spectacle was one of the few things in life that ever made him nervous. (Another time he was nervous was when TSO debuted another rock opera, "Beethoven's Last Night," in Vienna.) But, just as in Vienna, audiences have been won over for one reason or another. "The Lost Christmas Eve" is right for the anxious times, O'Neill said, with its "themes of hope and redemption." Almost two decades after O'Neill conceived of the Christmastime juggernaut, he's grateful that even in the days of the Internet, live music is alive and well. At least when it comes to TSO, which, due to demand for tickets, is playing two Salt Lake City shows in one day. "On paper, TSO shouldn't work," he said. "All that matters is that you're great."
When • Wednesday, Nov. 21, 4 and 8 p.m.

Royal Bliss
Spotlight show • For most of the noncooking population, the day before Thanksgiving is a day to leave work early and do absolutely nothing for the rest of the evening while your cooking family and/or friends work themselves into hysterics worrying about how long to cook a 12-pound turkey. But for local hard-rock band Royal Bliss, this is the 10th straight year of performing the night before Thanksgiving, in what has become a "tradition," said frontman Neal Middleton. It's a gracious sentiment, considering that Middleton could be allowed to be bitter because he was robbed by the four clueless judges of "The Voice" earlier this year. But with new album "Waiting Out the Storm" out this year, Middleton is thankful that his band is still going strong. "We're happy to be in control of our own destiny," he said. VanMarter Project, American Hitmen, Joel Pack and The Pops will open.
When • Wednesday, Nov. 21, 8 p.m.

Tickets • $20-$25 at SmithsTix
Peter Breinholt
Spotlight show • Midnight Madness runs all day on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Local musicians Peter Breinholt and Sam Payne will keep shoppers at South Towne Center company from midnight to 4 a.m., with Breinholt gigging from midnight to 2 a.m. Breinholt, a singer-songwriter well-known for his Christmas shows and other Salt Lake valley concerts, said when mall officials called him four years ago with the offer of the gig, he was incredulous. "I told my band, and I said, 'Are you sitting down?' " he said. But he ended up having fun and has been back every year. One year, he even flew in from his in-laws' Thanksgiving celebration in Palm Springs to play the unusually timed mall show. There's one thing he always make sure, though he must eat loads of stuffing with heaping scoops of gravy on top at the Thanksgiving meal beforehand. Carb-loading is good for a midnight show just ask Axl Rose.

7 Series - E65 / E66 (2002 - 2008)
Discussion of BMW's 4th generation E65/E66 7 Series flagship. The E65 generated much controversy, due to its radical styling and iDrive user difficulties. Nonetheless, the E65 broke records to become the best-selling 7-series iteration ever, especially after its 2005 facelift.

interior lighting question
so i have been browsing the forums and the DIY but am easily distracted by the other threads and the mountains of info they contain... however i ahve not come across anything but the sticky regarind LEDs and angel eyes... this kinda glosses over interior and dives into angels eyes....
I really like the orange glow that is the signature of our cars.... but my favorite color is blue... I was in some one elses car (different make) and they had all dome lights blue and yes I was turned on....
I went autozone and got 2 bulbs and tried them in differnt locations... i like the look and with the orange turned all the way down they go well together. so two parts to my question.
1. can one disable the orange lights in the cab. I want it to be reversible so changing the leds is not an option.. i was thinking in like programming or something... or breaking the circuit (fuse or dimmer switch) but I want the cluster lights and conrols to be lit. So my main concentration is the leds where the dome lights are and over the cup holder (basically the accent lights but not the lights that illuminate the controls and switches)
easiest solution to me would to use electrical tape in the housing to just block the light.
2. will using LEDs trip the computer... I notice there are CANBUS leds but I want to know if I can just use regular ones. The angel eyes I know give errors when leds are installed improperly.
two reasons for this is price and availability. the can bus bulbs are 5-10$ more per bulb... as far as availabilty there are different styles in bulbs (amount of leds and color, not socket) that i want to employ.
front and rear dome light, front foot well, rear foot well, -BLUE
front and rear map/reading light, step lights under door and licence plate - BRIGHT WHITE
as well as rear foot well uses festoon style bulb and i want to use directional bulbs under doors and in reading lights..
anyone here changed their interiors lights.. know a good place to get bulbs?
I want to do the angel eyes too but that comes later....
I really want the out side to match... the is halogen in the angel eyes, halogen in brights, halogen in the fogs, and Xenon for the headlights and then handles have white led and the step lights are halogen...
I want to match the hi-beams and fogs to the headlights as close as i can with higher temp halogens unless someone says leds work better and are brighter and as focused..I actually like the brights on this car and the coverage they provide. the angels eyes I want bright white.
Nobody knows if I need canbus lights. I found thread about the cabin leds not beign canbus but it was a 3, so I wanted to be sure before I spend money. Has anyone actually done it andd know which bulbs are most blue nad most bright.... and brightest whites as well. I came across the new 5630 smds but can only find in white.
Also does anyone know if there are clear(ish) dome light covers? I would like to use clear instead of the frosted...
There is a website I believe it's ijdmtoy that sells a full interior light kit to replace all interior bulbs with LEDs. As far as the factory orange LEDs go there's no way to disable them even with coding. If you dim your cluster lights those LEDs also dim which may make them less noticeable.
yeah saw the ijdm page.. though they want 70 or so... thought that was a little over priced.. has anyone bought from them? I would want to know if they are bright or not... or long lasting
i dimmed the lights all the way down... it looks pretty good (i got a blue bulb from store) the leds will be brighter and overpower the orange even more when dimmed.... the orange and blue dont look bad together, at least when dimmed... someone changed all the leds behinds the switches and cluster 100-200 altogether) I like the orange and would not want to do that but it did look good....

Our Daily Correspondent
Ever So HumbleBy Sadie Stein
This morning my family went to several tag sales, as is our habit. Saturday is of course the major day for such things, but there are always a few that begin earlier, and a careful perusal of the local papers had yielded three, of which one looked promising. It was an estate sale, and the ad boasted "collectibles," "books," and a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron.
Since my parents sold their house, they have talked a lot about "divesting." After clearing out her own parents' home, my mom said repeatedly that she did not want to burden me and my brother with a similar task, and they had an enormous, slightly morbid tag sale of their own. And yet this has not curtailed their activities: every Thursday they examine the paper, annotate the sales page with arrows and underlines and the occasional exclamation mark, and plot their route.

|Summary: Free Image Scan Version with epkowa Driver for Epson Scanners
This version of the Image Scan for Linux software contains only the free software parts of what Avasys provides. In particular this version of the Image Scan for Linux software neither contains any proprietary driver library nor firmware files nor proprietary software to support scanner network interfaces nor the proprietary "libesmod" library which would be required by the "/usr/bin/iscan" frontend which is also not provided. This package contains only the epkowa driver for SANE, which compiles and runs natively even on non-i386 platforms. For documentation, see "man sane-epkowa". The frontend /usr/bin/iscan was removed because it requires the proprietary "libesmod" library. This should cause no problem because the driver epkowa in this version of the Image Scan for Linux software runs natively even on non-i386 platforms so that the usual frontends (like scanimage and xsane) can be used even on non-i386 platforms. Drawbacks: The free version of the epkowa driver cannot work for those scanners that require a proprietary driver library (and a firmware file). As of this writing (June 2010), those scanners are the following models: ES-D400, GT-1500, GT-7200U, GT-7300U, GT-9400UF, GT-D1000, GT-F500, GT-F520, GT-F550, GT-F570, GT-F600, GT-F650, GT-F670, GT-F700, GT-F720, GT-S50, GT-S80, GT-S600, GT-S620, GT-X750, GT-X770, GT-X820, Perfection 1250, Perfection 1250 PHOTO, Perfection 1260, Perfection 1260 PHOTO, Perfection 2480 PHOTO, Perfection 2580 PHOTO, Perfection 3170 PHOTO, Perfection 3490 PHOTO, Perfection 3590 PHOTO, Perfection 4180 PHOTO, Perfection 4490 PHOTO, Perfection V10, Perfection V30, Perfection V100 Photo, Perfection V200 Photo, Perfection V300 Photo, Perfection V350 Photo, Perfection V500 Photo, Perfection V600 Photo, Stylus CX4300, Stylus CX4400, Stylus CX5500, Stylus CX5600, Stylus DX4400 Those models do not work with the free iscan version. The third-party Image Scan driver software from Avasys is required for those models. The Image Scan driver software is made and provided by Avasys at http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/ where RPM packages for 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (x86_64) architecture can be downloaded (provided you accept the Avasys and Epson license agreements). The Image Scan driver from Avasys contains proprietary binary-only software. For some models it is only available for 32-bit (i386) architecture which does not work when you have a 64-bit system installation. Some scanners are also supported by another (free-software) driver. When your scanner model requires a non-free (proprietary) module, you have to download and install two packages from Avasys: The 'iscan' package for the base software and an additional model dependant 'iscan-plugin' package with the proprietary module. Other scanners may only work via USB but require a proprietary software package which supports the network interface. As of this writing (June 2010), those scanners are the following models: Artisan 710 Series, Artisan 810 Series, EP-702A, EP-802A, EP-902A, ES-H7200, GT-20000, PX-602F, Stylus Office BX610FW Series, Stylus Office TX610FW Series, Stylus Photo PX650 Series, Stylus Photo PX710W Series, Stylus Photo PX810FW Series, Stylus Photo TX650 Series, Stylus Photo TX710W Series, Stylus SX610FW Series, WorkForce 610 Series To use those models via the network interface, you need the above mentioned third-party Image Scan driver software from Avasys plus an additional iscan-network-nt package from Avasys which provides support for the network interface. Note that the iscan-network-nt package from Avasys does not provide support for the network interface for all models. As of this writing (June 2010), the network interface of the following models is not supported: AcuLaser CX11NF, AcuLaser CX21, Artisan 700, Artisan 800, EP-801A, EP-901A, EP-901F, ES-H300, Expression 10000XL, Expression 10000XL Graphic Arts, Expression 10000XL Photo, GT-2500, LP-A500, LP-M5000, LP-M5500, LP-M5500F, LP-M5600, LP-M6000, ME Office 700FW, PM-A840S, PX-501A, PX-601F, Stylus Office BX600FW, Stylus Office TX600FW, Stylus Photo PX700W, Stylus Photo PX800FW, Stylus Photo TX700W, Stylus Photo TX800FW, Stylus NX400, Stylus NX410 Series, Stylus SX400, Stylus SX410 Series, Stylus SX600FW, Stylus TX400, Stylus TX410 Series, WorkForce 600

Gettext says to solve it as follow: throw new Exception(gettext("Cool English message at %s.").format(DateTime.now())) The gettext "compiler" goes through the code an generates all the strings that need to be localized. The translation teams modifies those string and you store them in file/map for that language. At runtime the i18n library turns gettext(...) into a query into that map and returns the actual localized string. There is a map for the entire process. Localization can also be disable at compile time by making gettext a template and generating a "noop" for that operation. I have been thinking of making a module for i18n model after gettext but taking advantage of D's language features. Is there some interest in this?

Good for home and camping
By Joy the Grandmother
from Oakland CA
Best Uses
We have it set up on our covered porch, very useful for visits and reading. We will be able to take it to family camp each year ast well. The reinforcement on the middle post will keep it from breaking down as our former loveseat did. A real, but welcome, surprise were the two bottle openers attached to the beverage/cupholder on each arm.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Super Quality!

This comfy chair is made from high quality materials and built to last! The drink holders are cleverly designed for multi-use with a bottle opener attached. Well worth the price- you can't go wrong with this one.

I did a #grep -R UPX /pentest/exploits/set/
In the results, there's a line in set_config that reads:
tried to cd to that directory, but it is not there.
Then I did an apt-get install sqlmap. It's installed in /pentest/web/scanners/sqlmap
Try adjusting the that directive and see if that helps at all.

I have recently upgraded my site from EE 1 to EE 2 and it appears to have resulted in some of my .htacess rewrites to change the URL structure no longer working.
My original setup was this:
RewriteRule ^/?((403|404|About|Chat|Contact|Copyright|Search)(/.*)?)$ /Westeros/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?((ASoIaF|Digest|Images|Login|Store|Updates|Westeros|member)(/.*)?)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
I've also tried this:
RewriteRule ^/?((403|404|About|Chat|Contact|Copyright|Search)(/.*)?)$ /index.php/Westeros/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?((ASoIaF|Digest|Images|Login|Store|Updates|member)(/.*)?)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
There's a couple of different things going on and some work and some don't, in both of these scenarios.
1) http://www.westeros.org/Updates/ works fine. Updates is a template group.2) http://www.westeros.org/Search/ does not work. Search is a template within the Westeros template group. It does work to access it as http://www.westeros.org/index.php/Westeros/Search/.3) http://www.westeros.org/About/ does not work. About is a Page with its URI set to /Westeros/About/. It does work to access it as http://www.westeros.org/index.php/Westeros/About/.
I imagine there's been some internal changes in URL handling between EE 1 and EE 2, but I can't quite grasp how it could stop these rewrites from happening. Isn't a rewrite the first thing that gets done, so shouldn't EE be seeing the rewritten URLs and nothing else?
I just use this for EE and it works a treat:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php/$1 [L]
Thank you for responding. However, I need more than just the standard index.php rewrite since I sometimes need to remove a template group as well or part of a Page URI. The rewrites that need just index.php removed are working for me.
Someone pointed me to a blog post from Pixel & Tonic (http://pixelandtonic.com/blog/making-pt-structure) which included a rewrite example:
RewriteRule ^index.php/(playa|wygwam|fieldframe|ffmatrix)(/[^\\/]+)?(/.+)?$ /index.php/ee$2/$1/$3 [NC,L]
This little redirect (coupled with a standard index.php redirect) will take an incoming URI like /playa, and turn it into /index.php/ee/playa behind the scenes.
I just can't figure out if that can apply to my situation, in part because I don't quite see why he's starting the rule with index.php when he says the incoming URI will be /playa. I also don't see why its /ee$2/ and not just /ee/. But from the description it is doing what I need, allowing for a template group to be removed. It seems like that would also work for part of a Page URI, unless something internally prevents that.
PHP includes (templates) are not performed via your .htaccess file so Ralph's response looks to be the best option.
I am afraid I don't follow that at all. I am not trying to do any php includes. When I mentioned templates and template groups it was in reference to how ExpressionEngine structures its content, in case someone here was familiar with it.
Ralph's method won't work, unfortunately, because I need more than just the index.php removed from the URLs. What I had worked fine for EE 1 but broke after I upgraded to EE 2. I am trying to track down why, since I don't know enough myself about either .htaccess or EE.
Could you say a bit more about why you need certain template groups removed? If you just use the code I gave, you'd be able to access year search page at
which is normally how it should be presented with EE. If you are wanting to remove the /Westeros/ from that, it would be better to put the search page in its own /search template group. That would save you a lot of problems.
Is that basically the sort of thing you are trying to do, or is it more complex than that?
Yes, I need to also remove /Westeros/ from that. If it was just Search, I could have created its own template group, but I have a number of templates that need to display right after the domain and adding a template group for each just didn't seem ideal. So, on EE 1 I set them all up in the Westeros template group and used .htaccess to remove the group and it worked just fine. But, that's no longer the case now that I have upgraded to EE 2.
The other issue is with pages, where I also added in a site-identifier as part of the URI (I run multiple sites off one EE install, and since two pages cannot have the same URI, I needed to separate them out) and used .htaccess to remove that part. That, too, worked in EE 1 but breaks in EE 2.
In part, I am just trying to figure out why it breaks now and if there's any work-around that allows me to keep my current URLs, since anything else would mean a lot of restructuring of the site. I am told by others that the example I posted before dklynn's post should work, and as far as I can tell, it also removes the template group, so that would suggest this is still doable in EE 2.

Healthy children start with healthy parents. Outside of otherwise direct biophysiological and/or developmental concerns, most childhood disorder is sociolgically rooted. And even when more physically based, the best compensation includes (outside of medication) assisting parents and care givers to help facilitate most adaptive change. Counselors thus work as much with the family as they do the child as the patient to arrive at desired emotional and behavioral changes.

Justin Timberlake Gossip
Justin Timberlake gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Like Bieber, like Timberlake?
I read the best story on Dlisted (original source uproxx) yesterday. You remember Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd? And one of the best episodes was when Ashton played Justin Timberlake? JT came home to find government employees taking over his home because he hadn't paid his taxes. Full Story
Justin Timberlake: new cheating rumours
Before Justin Timberlake and Mrs Timberlake were engaged, there was a breakup. And the breakup reportedly had to do with his cheating. It was 2010. It was Olivia Munn. Though his rep vehemently denied the claims, he was the one who supposedly pursued Munn aggressively. US Weekly said at the time it was a 3 day f-ck party. Full Story
How come JT isn't being ruled out?
I don't like the NFL much these days. A two game suspension for Ray Rice – that's it? TWO GAMES? If you don't know what I'm talking about, google Ray Rice (after you've finished reading my post!) and tell me what you think of a two game suspension for what he did. Full Story
Golf break for the Timberlakes
Justin Timberlake has a month off from touring. His wife joined him for a large part of his travels overseas but they were not photographed together often. Now, though, they're back home in California and decided to go golfing this weekend. Paps hang out at golf courses? Let's talk about her golf outfit. Full Story
Mrs Timberlake's tour break
Justin Timberlake has spent the last couple of months on tour through Europe. I haven't missed him. Have you? He played London last night and is on a break until he resumes back in North America on July 9 in Buffalo. His wife has been with him for most of the travel but showed up in Paris for the Tiffany & Co opening yesterday wearing Giambattista Valli. Full Story
The Beygency & Justin Timberlake
Anthony J. Causi / Splash
I thought Andrew Garfield did a great job on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Good energy, good commitment, and of course Emma Stone was part of it. Definitely one of the strongest hosts of the season. Even his closing remarks were endearing. And did you see them at the end there, before they hugged? She was like, "You did it!" And the 14 year old in me almost cried. Full Story
The Timberlakes head to London after holiday
Wenn, Splash
Justin Timberlake and his wife were in Barbados last week. You can see those pictures here. Last night they were photographed at LAX en route to London. JT resumes his tour in the UK on Sunday. Mrs T has no projects lined up – that we know of – so she has time to join him on the trip. Full Story
Mr & Mrs Timberlake preparing for baby?
WENN, Jason Merritt/ Frazer Harrison/ Getty Images
Latham Thomas is the founder of Mama Glow, a website for pregnant woman. I'm sure her services are very helpful. But as Jacek and I have no plans for a baby, we're not going to be joining her client list. Obviously. The people who do join her client list and seek her advice/guidance/perspective would be prospective parents, right? Obviously. Full Story
Mrs Timberlake was not alone on her birthday
London Entertainment / Splash News
Mrs Timberlake turned 32 on Monday. She was photographed at LAX the night after the Oscars heading to Miami. There have been a lot of rumours lately about Mrs T and what's happening between her and Justin Timberlake. Some suggest that their relationship isn't solid. Conveniently, Page Six Full Story
Justin Timberlake: 33 and 10
Justin Timberlake celebrates his 33rd birthday today. As you know, JT was not at the Grammys on Sunday. He's been on a break from touring the last couple of weeks but he reportedly skipped the show and declined to perform because he's being a pissy bitch about not getting the right nominations. Full Story
JT's Grammy pout?
Christopher Polk/ Getty
The Grammys are supposed to celebrate the year that was in music. The Grammys may not always be fair (yes, we hear you Kanye) but I do love Grammy mash-ups. One of my favourite Grammy mash-ups of all time: One by U2 and Mary J Blige in 2006. If you ever pull up beside me at a red light and you see my mouth open wide screaming, I'm probably singing this version of the song. Full Story

Android users get anxious and excited whenever a newer firmware calls itself to attention, and ICS 4.0.4 version is no exception, either. Before you wait it out and finally install this version, here are some of the features you can make the most of. If you have already installed, make sure you know what you are holding in your hands.
Happy app-ing!
Screen rotation:If you have enabled screen rotation on your phone, the new version makes it seem like a dream by being almost fluidic. There is no lag, as in the previous version. However, you have to be at a certain angle for it to move from portrait to landscape. This is to avoid accidental rotations. Smart.
Multitasking: Just like the screen rotation, multi-tasking is super smooth. You can move from one app to another swiftly without much lag.
Android animation: This is just a hidden animation feature in this version. Just go to Settings/About Phone/Android Version and double or triple tap it. You get the Android robot with a brown belly. Place your finger on his chest until the robot becomes large enough to fill up the screen. And presto, you get several green robots moving from left to right against a blue background. Not of much use, and it would have been cooler if it could have been made a screensaver or something.
Dock gets a folder: Yes, with this version you can also make a folder and place it in the dock that occupies the bottom space of your screen.
Sound options: You get more ringtones like Cuisine, Down hill, Emotive Sensation, Faint, Illuminator and so on. You can set different sounds for notifications and ringtones, too.
Signature phone unlock: Yes, face recognition is passé. Now, you can unlock your phone with your signature – and it's much easier and safer than any of the other methods that were already available (pattern, swipe, pin, password).
Realtime voice typing: Now your Google keyboard gets even better. The voice typing is much better and faster. It types as you talk, unlike before when it took some time to process before it typed on its own.
Notification access: Now, you can go straight to notifications from the lock screen. Just swipe down from top to bring up the notification window. Now that's a real shortcut!
Handwriting to Text: Yes, Samsung's darling feature, the S-Memo, gets a new feature. You can handwrite and get that translated to text by the phone.
Pop-up video player: Just open your video player, play something and hit the rectangular top button on extreme right. And presto, your video becomes quarter the size, so you can multi-task even while keeping the video on one-fourth the screen.

Garth Brooks' box set topping country chart
Listen to Garth Brooks on iHeartRadio
Garth Brooks is back at the top of the chart.
Billboard.com says his new box set, Blame It All On My Roots, is opening at number one on the Country Albums chart, with 164,000 copies sold in just four days. It's debuting on the all-genre BIllboard 200 at number three.
The eight-disc set was released on Thanksgiving Day exclusively through Walmart, to coincide with Black Friday and his CBS TV special. Brooks is also bumping the "Duck Dynasty" album, Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas, out of the number one spot, capping its chart-topping run at four weeks.
However, "Duck The Halls" did see a significant increase in sales. The album had its biggest sales week yet at 137,000 - up 127% over the previous week. It's following Brooks on the Billboard 200 at number four.
Kelly Clarkson's holiday album and Luke Bryan's latest release also benefited from special sales. Clarkson's Wrapped in Red sold 131,000 copies, up 195%, to climb back to the number six spot on the Billboard 200.
And Bryan's Crash My Party is crashing back into the top ten. Last week's sales of 109,000 marks a 318% increase, and puts it at number eight.

2014 Building Appeal
Help create a more peaceful mealtime environment
Over the years, IMS's facilities have been upgraded to support continuity of practice. However, the Retreat Center dining room currently presents a challenge. With so many full programs these days, there is often congestion, especially during breakfast and light dinner, when there simply isn't enough room to seat everyone. And as those of you who've been on a retreat well know, the noise in the dining room when we break silence can be quite intense!
Last year we initiated an appeal to renovate the dining area. Our vision now includes:
- an additional space – to create sufficient seating for every meal
- an outside deck – for dining during warmer weather
- a second tea station – to increase accessibility and relieve crowding
- an acoustical ceiling treatment – to soften sounds
The goal for this undertaking is $140,000. Happily, we've already raised over 95% of this amount. We invite you to make a donation to help us reach what's needed for construction. When renovations are complete, the dining room will allow greater ease of movement during meals, better supporting the continuity of practice and the tranquility of retreat life.
May your generosity benefit all!

Dallas defensive end Anthony Spencer will have season-ending surgery on his left knee and may have played his last game for the Cowboys.
Spencer's agent, Jordan Woy, says doctors have a "good idea" what type of surgery but were still considering options. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke earlier on his radio show, saying Spencer was likely to have microfracture surgery.
The 29-year-old Spencer is on a one-year contract with the franchise tag for the second straight season, so he will be a free agent when he's healthy again. He's making $10.6 million this season.
Spencer originally injured the knee in offseason workouts and aggravated it during a conditioning test the day before training camp. He had arthroscopic surgery July 25 and missed the preseason and the opener against the Giants.
Last year's leading tackler for the Cowboys returned and played more than half the game in Week 2 against Kansas City before he was sidelined again.
"Here's a case of a guy, you almost have to tie him up to get him off the field," Jones said on his radio show. "He was so diligent in his rehab. The individual that I have the most empathy for is Spencer because of the type of person he is."
Microfracture surgery is a procedure to repair cartilage that provides cushion for bones in knee joints. The recovery time is usually at least four months but can be career-threatening for pro athletes.
Spencer had career highs last year with 106 tackles and 11 sacks.
Lions WR Burleson breaks arm
Detroit Lions receiver Nate Burleson broke his arm in a single-car accident early Tuesday after he reached over to keep two pizza boxes from falling off the front passenger seat, authorities said. Coach Jim Schwartz stopped short of writing off the rest of Burleson's season, but surgery is scheduled for Wednesday.
"It's not an emergency surgery," Schwartz said. "Nate'll be back at some point, and when he will, he will be a big contributor again to our team."
Burleson's car hit a center median wall on a highway in suburban Detroit and he was taken to a hospital. Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw said there were no indicators of alcohol on the scene or on Burleson's person after the crash at 2:25 a.m.
Burleson has a team-high 19 catches 10 for first downs and his 239 yards receiving is second to Calvin Johnson on the Lions.
Around the league
Colts • Indianapolis waived running back Kerwynn Williams, a seventh-round pick out of Utah State, who was on the practice squad until he was promoted to the active roster when Vick Ballard went down with a season-ending knee injury.
Cardinals • Arizona signed linebacker Vic So'oto to shore up a position severely depleted by injury. The former BYU player was with Washington in the preseason but was released in that team's final roster cut on Aug. 31. He has played in 12 NFL games in his career with Washington, Oakland and Green Bay.

thats an excellent fight!!! cant wait for that one
Very good fight, big test for Fishy but he looks a great prospect if he can stay injury free
Love gettin called a star haha nar man :P good luck to both lads
Liam Bad Intentions James, pro mma uk featherweight!!
Money is on Rob for this. Should be a good fight.
Big step up for Chris.
Whiteford is 9-2 by the way.
Awesome fight, two top fighters, winner will go on to big things, to be honest they probably both will, Whiteford has fought the better fighters to date and will be a massive test for Fishgold who has been impressive, I think Whiteford by decision.
Can't wait for CW to announce more fights.
*Insert usual rant about shows not updating results properly*
My general rule of thumb at CW is that I go by Sherdog records unless i 100% know it's wrong and i can't database it e.g. Paul Redmond i know is 5-3 but is 4-3 on Sherdog cos he chose to fight on a show that doesn't record results but i know he won that missing fight, i just can't prove it to Sherdog.

Herbarium / Current Folder
of Grasses for North America
Flora North America North of Mexico, volumes 24 and 25.
The Manual project had as its original
goal publication of a single volume on grasses similar in concept
and format to Hitchcock's Manual
of Grasses of the United States. In 1999, it combined
with the Flora of North America project and agreed to
give priority to publishing the two grass volumes needed by that
project over preparation of the single volume Manual.
The first of the two FNA grass volumes, FNA 25.was published in 2003. The second, FNA 24, will be published early in 2007.
The two volumes cover North America north of Mexico.
In addition to native species and established introductions, they
include many cultivated species, some introductions that failed
to become established, and a few weedy species not known from
the region but identified by the U.S.D.A. as potential threats
to U.S. agriculture.
The content of the two FNA volumes is now being reduced to a single volumes that will include descriptions for the tribes and genera plus all the keys, illustrations, and maps in the two FNA volumes. This volume, it is hoped, will prove as useful to today's taxonomists as the Manual of Grasses of the United States used to be.

STAGE TUBE: Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and Alonzo King LINES Ballet Merge Talents
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and San Francisco-based Alonzo King LINES Ballet - currently celebrating their 35th and 30th anniversary seasons, respectively - perform together in four notable American dance venues this spring. These first-time joint presentations include the debut of a New Work by LINES Ballet's founder and director, award-winning choreographer Alonzo King. Watch the video below to learn more about this unprecedented collaboration between dance companies!
This unique collaboration, billed Hubbard Street + LINES Ballet, is the sole dance and Chicago-based recipient of a 2011 Joyce Award from The Joyce Foundation. The accompanying $50,000 grant has generously supported the collaboration in-process, as did a three-week residency at the University of California, Irvine's Claire Trevor School of the Arts, and an Art Works grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The collaboration was previewed at the 2012 Laguna Dance Festival, and has received crucial funding for its tour from the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project.
The New Work by Alonzo King features 28 world-renowned dancers: all 12 members of LINES Ballet and 16 from Hubbard Street's ensemble of 18. Lighting designs are by Axel Morgenthaler, set designs by Jim Doyle, costumes by Robert Rosenwasser and original music is by composer/musican Ben Juodvalkis.
In addition, the New Work is a commission by the Harris Theater for Music and Dance at Millennium Park, in celebration of its 10th anniversary next year. Hubbard Street - one of the Chicago venue's founding local organizations - welcomes LINES Ballet to its Spring Series and the World Premiere of the companies' Shared Program: Hubbard Street presents Little mortal jump (2012) by Resident Choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo; LINES Ballet presents the Chicago Premiere of Alonzo King's Rasa (2007), to an original score by tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain; and both companies present the New Work. The New Work receives its World Premiere at Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley, as part of Hubbard Street's Cal Performances engagement.
The Shared Program repeats one night only in Madison, Wisconsin at the Overture Center for the Arts, and for three shows in Los Angeles, at the Music Center's Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

LONG BEACH - Will the Long Beach City Council make medical marijuana havens go up in smoke Tuesday or will it grant a reprieve? Either way, the city may have the means to close down the cannabis collectives.
Due to council members' absences, the council has twice delayed a companion vote to ban dispensaries and repeal its 2010 statute regulating medical pot centers.
City Attorney Robert Shannon recommended the actions after an appeals court in October ruled in Pack v. Long Beach that the law violated federal code prohibiting sale and distribution of the drug.
Now, with the council set to take up the matter again, city legal staff have offered a glimpse into how a ban could be instituted - by using zoning code.
None of the city's zoning tables specifically allow medical marijuana.
"The permit law created a process that would allow these facilities to exist within the buffers created by the ordinance," said Assistant City Attorney Mike Mais.
Since the court decision rendered the statute moot, Mais argued, collectives are operating outside of the law.
"Unless a use in a zone is specifically permitted or conditionally permitted, it is a prohibited use," he said.
The state Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Pack case after the city requested clarification on its powers to regulate medical marijuana, which is permitted by the state under a 1996 voter-approved initiative.
Shannon expects the case to take at least 14 months to decide because of its far-reaching implications.
Matthew Pappas, the plaintiff's attorney, claimed that the high court's consideration of the case makes the earlier decision non-precedent setting.
"It would seem to me that it would be premature at this point to assert that they have the authority to effectively ban collectives," Pappas said.
When it granted review of the Pack case, the Supreme Court also voted unanimously to decline an application to stop Long Beach from enacting a citywide pot dispensary ban.
Mais also pointed to another case, Claremont v. Kruse, which confirmed that medical marijuana laws don't preempt local laws such as zoning and licensing as they apply to pot collectives.
"It's good law in the state of California," Mais said.
The council will consider the matter at its regular meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach.
