Reader, sit down: It's time I told you a story. It's a tale about a bunch of fantasy fans who were granted their greatest wish, and a smaller number of haters who grumbled through the whole thing.
Yes, that's right — I'm talking about Cleganebowl, the Game of Thrones fan theory that got a boost Sunday night when Sandor Clegane made his triumphant return to the show for the first time in two years. When last we left the artist formerly known as the Hound, he was licking his ostensibly mortal wounds after a duel with Brienne; now, it seems, he's been nursed back to health. It was enough to make Cleganebowl, in the parlance of the theory's proponents, "fucking confirmed."
Let's back up a bit and explain what Cleganebowl actually is. As you'll remember, one of the first things we learn about Sandor is his fraught relationship with his older brother, Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane. When they were children, Gregor was the one who thrust Sandor's face into burning coals, giving him distinctive scars and a lifelong fear of fire. Later, Gregor became a knight and committed a whole bunch of war crimes, which gave Sandor a deep distrust of the entire concept of knighthood. Though they've technically been on the same side throughout all the wars of the realm, you'd be hard-pressed to find a pair of brothers who hate each other more. Remember the tournament from season one?
Since then, both Clegane brothers have changed a lot, and not just because one of them's now being played by a completely different actor. The Mountain got killed in a trial by combat, then got turned into a Frankenstein monster, and is now acting as Cersei's personal bodyguard. The Hound joined the kingsguard, quit the kingsguard, wandered around the Riverlands for a bit, got captured, escaped, made a friend, got whupped by Brienne, and is now part of a wandering holy order led by Septon Meribald (Ian McShane).
The dream of Cleganebowl goes something like this: We know that Cersei still has to stand trial for her crimes. We also know she's planning on having a trial-by-combat, and is going to use zombie-Gregor as her champion. Wouldn't it be cool if the Faith called up Sandor freaking Clegane to fight on their side, making the two brothers have to face each other, mano a mano? Would that be enough to get you hyped? If you're not sure, why not try watching this video?
Popular opinion on Cleganebowl in Song of Ice and Fire fandom is split between three separate camps. The first thinks that Cleganebowl is super-awesome and sincerely can't wait for it to happen. The second doesn't really care much either way, but likes to pretend to be really into it for the lolz. (Naturally, it can be hard to distinguish between these two.) And the third, the one that I'm in, hates it.
To understand why, you've got to look at where we left the Hound in George R.R. Martin's novels. At the end of A Storm of Swords, Sandor was in the same basic spot he was at the end of season four, bleeding out in the middle of the Riverlands. However, in the next book, A Feast for Crows, Martin drops hints that he survived. While searching the Riverlands for the Stark sisters, Brienne comes upon a quiet monastery, one of the few places in Westeros that hasn't been ravaged by the war. There she meets a healer called the Elder Brother, who tells her, "The Hound is dead. Sandor Clegane is at rest." From a distance, she also sees a lonely gravedigger, who just happens to have an injury similar to the Hound's, a horse that looks exactly like the Hound's, and a scarf that conveniently covers his face. Oh, and he's got an affinity for dogs. Add it all up, and it seems likely the Elder Brother was speaking metaphorically: Sandor has retired his Hound identity for good, taking up a life of quiet contemplation. For Game of Thrones, that's pretty much the happiest ending you can hope for.
To take Sandor away from this, just so he can fight his brother again, seems to those of us in the anti-Cleganebowl faction like a fundamental misunderstanding of the Hound's character arc. His whole thing has been learning how to get away from a life of violence, not leaning into it. Cleganebowl is emblematic of one of my least-favorite aspects of modern fandom, fan theories that emphasize spectacle and surprise instead of character and theme. Game of Thrones fandom is particularly attracted to these, and many of them seem driven more by the culture of message-board one-upmanship than any actual analysis. (Of course, thinking you know more about what characters would do than their creators is also a defining trope of modern fandom, so those of us in the anti-Cleganebowl faction are hardly in the clear either.)
But now, with the Hound's return, it looks like Cleganebowl is actually going to be canon in the show. But those of us in the anti-Cleganebowl faction are still holding out hope that George R.R. Martin's got a better arc in store for the brothers in the books. Theorists have thrown out a number of minor characters who might be sacrificed at the altar of FrankenGregor in Cersei's trial, while the blogger Made in Myr presents a compelling case that book-Sandor will actually be brought out of hiding to serve as a judge at Margaery's trial. If that happens, it will be a hundred times more interesting than Cleganebowl would be, I guarantee it. And if you disagree, what are you gonna do, fight me about it?

A lovely plate with a fabulous, fully molded edge, it was most probably made in 1893, the year that the Reinhold factory did not mark its work. The luxury of this piece is notable in the substantial use of gold paint around the top lip and interior of the bowl and the extravagant painting of the flowers below the fancifully molded lip. The hand painted roses at the base of the bowl are mint green softly pink. A truly whimsical antique.
Dimensions: 10.5" Diameter 3.5" Depth
Condition: Excellent overall, with no cracks, chips or restoration to the porcelain. The gold transfer has rubbed off partially in the bowl's interior, most of the top lip gold remains. A few paint skips the size of pin-flakes are present, but explicitly showed in the photographs.

Accountants should take the lead in assessing the impact on their companies of the depletion of natural resources, recommends a new report.
The report, from the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, Ernst & Young, the International Federation of Accountants, and the Natural Capital Coalition, argues that accountants should account for "natural capital" to determine the risks to businesses that depend on increasingly scarce resources such as clean water, timber and minerals.

Cole Mabry might not be in Notre Dame's class without Chip Long.
Last year as the offensive coordinator at Memphis, Long identified the 6-foot-6, 270-pound athlete from Brentwood, Tenn., as a potential target for the Tigers. When Long took the same position at Notre Dame he brought that interest in Mabry with him, getting the three-star prospect up to Junior Day last weekend.
After meeting with offensive line coach Harry Hiestand on campus, the Irish made their offer. Barely 48 hours later, Mabry went public with his acceptance of it, giving the Irish their third commitment in two days and first offensive line get.
Notre Dame wants three offensive linemen in its next recruiting class at a minimum, with the focus set on finding two pure tackles and a third swing prospect.
"First, I would (like) to say thank you to God for providing the opportunity to play football and guiding me along this journey," Mabry posted. "Next, I would like to say thank you to my family for support and my coaches and teammates for pushing me to be the best I can be. Thank you to all the coaches and teams that have recruited me.
"I'm proud to say that I have committed to play football at the University of Notre Dame."
Mabry chose the Irish over offers from Memphis, Cincinnati, Indiana, Purdue and Colorado State.
The Irish remain No. 2 in the Scout.com Team Rankings.

It's time to do another round of Nerd Fight! This is where we nerds discuss fantasy matchups pitting our favorite video game characters against each other in a battle of epic…ness. The first Nerd Fight had Nathan Drake go up against Lara Croft in a battle of "Best Character". This edition is a battle called "Best 2D Fighter!"
Ryu is an icon. Ryu is a default character for so many Street Fighter fans out there. Ryu is easy to use and hard to master and extremely powerful. Ryu is almost the face of Street Fighter. Is Ryu's badassery and sweet Street Fighter abilities enough to propel him over his opponent this time?
People think Mortal Kombat – people think Scorpion. "GET OVER HERE!". That is as famous a line from a video game as any other. His fatalities are talked about more than any others. Scorpion is a true badass. A fan favorite. But does he have what it takes to take out the icon of Street Fighter? You decide!
These two icons of two major fighting franchises go head to head to determine the King of the Fighters. The criteria is who is cooler, more powerful, and pretty much any other arguments you can make. You decide the winner!

I have to be honest. Green beans and I have never really gotten along. When we were little and eating dinner, our mom would "turn on the timer" when we refused to eat our food. Every time we had green beans, I always got the timer, which made me dislike them even more! I've been trying to eat a lot more vegetables, but I've been avoiding green beans! The other day, I made our balsamic asparagus, and I realized I could make it with green beans (and some mushrooms to make it a little more appealing). It turned out great!
Serves: 4-6
These easy balsamic green beans and mushrooms make a great side dish to go with any meal!
5 minPrep Time
20 minCook Time
25 minTotal Time
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (I sliced them about 1/4" thick)
- 1 lb fresh green beans, with the ends cut off
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (this makes for easy clean up).
- Spread mushrooms and green beans on the baking sheet, then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Toss with your hands to coat.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, until the beans have started to brown and soften.

Yet another serious reason why some people get abducted over and over has to do with their bloodline. Some humans have been 'worked on' during abduction sessions, sometimes since they were little kids. They are of certain hybrid bloodlines that apparently will be used, some as hosts for future star beings, and some for other reasons. Just like with channeling, where the channeler has to be strong and have a certain genetic setup to be able to channel safely without being depleted of energy and eventually getting seriously ill, these 'chosen people' are apparently of the same type of stock.
Typical example of such are Supriem Rockefeller, whom I wrote about in 2009, and Michael Lee Hill (MLH), whom I covered in 'Level I' in a specific paper. MLH is a very pleasant person and a talented musician, but have been used by different Sirian entities as well as the Grays when he was little and perhaps as late as 2007. He has talked about his experiences as positive on the most part and is quite casual about the role he is told he will play in the future and says he 'goes with the flow', but the 2007 abduction was less pleasant. He woke up in the middle of the 'operation' in incredible pain, something he found out during a session with a hypnotist who does regression therapy. At least one of those who were working on him was a human (or in a human body), and is said to have apologized, thinking MLH was asleep, and said he would feel no more pain, where after he let his hand go over MLH's forehead, and he fell asleep again, with no further pain or memories of what happened. However, he told the hypnotist that he did not want to relive that experience, and the hypnotist took him back to present time. MLH's comment afterwards was that even during a normal surgery, there is a potential chance the patient will wake up, and that doesn't necessarily mean the surgery is 'evil'. Well, that's true, but I withstand what I said earlier; why is MLH abducted against his knowledge and immediate consent? If what he is being prepared for is benevolent, why all these secrets? Still, MLH does not see it like I do, and it's not for me to force my sense of reality upon somebody else. I like Michael, but these are his experiences, and the interpretations of them are his own -- he has all the right to them.

Non condescending physician.
Dr Apostol will give you the facts without sugar coating. He is concise and thorough in his examinations which I appreciate. I have found my GP and very happy with him. The office staff is another story.

I am so excited and blessed to find a doctor (and staff) who are truly "walking the talk" of their commitment to Jesus! Their beliefs are not rammed down anyone's throat, nor would you feel judged or condemned if you weren't a believer and had him as a doctor. God's love had permeated that office and I know all are blessed who go there. It is so nice to have a doctor who is willing to take time and answer your questions and address your concerns. Awesome!

If you're looking for a family doctor, keep looking. He is inconsiderate, very weak at diagnosing any issue and is an overall rude person. Keep looking!!!!

We are treated like dopes with 8th grade educations. Nurses are untruthful in reporting conversations to Dr. Dr. doesn't care...a lot of CYA.They lost 3 patients today. Mean-spirited vengeful people.

I had met Dr. Apostol and was looking forward to being his patient. I arrived for my first appointment and after waiting for quite awhile, I was told that Dr. Apostol had an emergency with another patient . I was asked if I would see another doctor and I agreed. Now I can't get away from the other doctor since she ordered a mammogram for me. I have questions regarding a follow-up mammogram I must now have and get blown off by staff who usually say they just don't know but BTW, Apostol is still my PCP. What a nightmare. I wish I had said no to the switcheroo...now I am stuck and don't really have a doctor.

Re: st: Mixed negative binomial models?
Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:53:40 -0700
Dear Troy
This came up recently, see
Here were my thoughts from the time, but see the link above for other thoughts as well...
Based on the link http://www.unc.edu/~skolenik/stata/gllamm-demo.html
it seems that gllamm (within Stata) will not fit such a model.
HLM will fit random slope poisson models, but I do not see anything
about it fitting random slope negative binomial models.
I am pretty sure Mplus will fit random slope negative binomial
models, although I have never done so. The link
http://www.statmodel.com/verhistory.shtml indicates Mplus does fit
negative binomial models, and for Mplus it is common that pretty much
any parameter can be treated as a random slope.
You can download a demo version of Mplus at
http://www.statmodel.com/demo.shtml and you can see example Mplus
programs at http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/Mplus/dae/ and annotated
outputs at http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/mplus/output/default.htm .
Best regards,
Michael N. Mitchell

count (Poisson) distributions. Did I miss a way to do this in the
myriad of options for gllamm?
If there's not a method to estimate mixed negative binomial models in
Stata, does anyone know offhand if other packages (e.g., HLM) can
estimate these models?

The Winamac Community High School Robotics team, coached by Brad Moore, will be competing in a National competition.
"This year, they will be going to Orlando, Florida for the competition," said Superintendent, Dr. Robert Klitzman. "They're able to do this by getting Corporate sponsors so we appreciate our community in helping support this. The kids build robots and then go through competitions and maneuvers with the robots and get points for how they do their different techniques during the competition. The numbers on the team have doubled from a year ago. Mr. Moore had a very successful run with our Supermileage team and now he's taken that same flair to the Robotics Team and they're doing quite well."

I thoroughly enjoyed the stories and wonderful memories of all who attended the December 40th birthday luncheon for APIW! There are some truly incredible people in this industry who are gracious enough to share success and help others achieve their goals. In case you missed it, or if you want to revisit the fun we had, APIW will be publishing a special edition of the APIW Insider dedicated to our 40th birthday celebration. Thanks to all who made this event a reality and special thanks to those ladies who started it all.
A comment I heard from a few attendees at the December luncheon was that APIW should "think bigger" about our mission and impact on the insurance industry. The holidays have given me some down time to think about where we are headed – this topic requires some serious reflection. Thinking bigger is a challenge to us that will honor our past as an organization and set us on a solid footing for the future.
That's why thinking bigger is going to be a key goal at APIW in 2017. Our board will be working on the details of that mission in the coming weeks. You'll see us doing big things like:
- partnering with other groups to expand our impact,
- launching a new mentoring program with St. John's School of Risk Management,
- re-thinking our membership requirements to provide young professionals greater opportunities to get involved with APIW,
- expanding to other cities (San Francisco and possibly Philadelphia),
- re-working our Woman of the Year selection process, and
- seeking out leaders who are at the cutting edge of all that is happening in our industry for their support
Phew – that's a LOT to take on – and we don't have all the ideas. What other ways could we #ThinkBIG2017? I'd be honored to have your thoughts and feedback. I'd be especially honored if you'd join us for the ride as we take on this challenge together!
Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year filled with peace and prosperity!

As Football Fever Heightens, 5 Top Tips To Stay Safe Online
On the back of such a successful World Cup, interest in club football is higher than ever. Sports fans across the globe will have gotten a taste for football fever and will be looking to stream all sorts of sites to get information about next month's Premier League. While this seems harmless, you need to be mindful of the fact that hackers exploit your enthusiasm to explore new sites.
There are hundreds of malicious websites disguised as legitimate ones that can hack into your system and trick you into revealing your account credentials, cause malware to become installed on your system, and even access your online accounts. To prevent you from becoming exposed to hacking and scams, here are five top tips to help you identify potentially malicious websites.
1. Does Anything Look Suspicious?
Don't get carried away. As soon as you get to a new site give it a quick once-over. The following points will help you identify a suspicious site:
- Unnecessary pop-ups, add-ons or program download.
- Random ads that don't make sense.
- Erratic misplacement of website content.
- Sometimes even the semantics and grammar should trigger your suspicion.
- Don't fall for scams that say you have won an incredible sum of money when you had nothing to do with the site – most likely you will end up getting caught in a hoax.
2. Confirm That the Website Is Secure
Check if the website is secure – especially if you are sharing any information such as personal details and account credentials. Verify that the SSL certificates are all valid and check that the internet protocol is HTTPS. You can use free online SSL checking utilities to examine if there are security certificates or not, and the certificate authenticity, validity, DNS resolution, and other details.
3. Watch Out For Automatic Downloads
Sometimes, just logging onto a site may trigger a download. It could be as simple as malware disguised as a legitimate .exe. file. When you run it, your system can be compromised. If such a download occurs, immediately cancel the download, or scan it with a well-known anti-virus program. Only when you are sure that a download is secure should you run it.
4. Don't Follow Nested Links
Watch out for nested links. If every URL redirect from the site is taking you through different domains nested within one another, there's something fishy about the site's legitimacy.
5. Run Your Own Diagnostics
Whether you found a URL in an email or on an IM chat, if you are not aware of its reliability, it always best to take precautions and run your own online tests:
- Do a search online to see if the website name is associated with any scams.
- Run Google Safe Browsing diagnostics to check the authenticity of the site and whether the site hosted any malicious content in the past. Just type http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.yourwebsite.com and check the results.
- You can check the website domain on http://www.malwaredomainlist.com/mdl.php. If the domain you are checking is listed here, you may possibly avoid your transactions with it.
- Use http://www.dnsstuff.com/ to get details about IP and domain ownership of a site.

( they were personal vacation pics ) so he didn't post the thread and stopped. So he asked me as to where are the attachments uploaded by a user are stored? how can a user see all his attachments and change the content ? Please answer as I think it is a valid question..

Christmas in the Philippines isn't only a huge celebration but a pretty long one too. Our country is known for having the world's longest Christmas because it starts in September and ends on the day of the Feast of Epiphany, which is on January 6th. People here get excited when the first "–ber" month come: Christmas carols start playing, lanterns and lights get hung to adorn houses and buildings. Since the Philippines is a predominantly Christian country, the Christmas spirit becomes alive very early, and the roads and malls become more and more congested when people do their shopping as Christmas day approaches. It is celebrated widely with the traditional nine-day series of night masses called Simbang Gabi for Catholics, company Christmas parties, family reunions, Christmas Eve mass, gift exchange, and Noche Buena — the midnight meal shared by the family members to welcome in Christmas day.
A lot of food is prepared for the celebration, a few of the traditional ones are queso de bola, ham and roast pig or lechon. I have requested my mother to prepare my favorite salad dessert this Christmas: coconut or buko salad, which is made by mixing shredded coconut meat, all-purpose cream, condensed milk, and fruit cocktail. It's chewy, creamy, yummy, and sweet.
Here in Metro Manila, we buy coconuts in the market or on the streets. Coconut vendors have a bolo knife, a shredder or scraper, and a pitcher that they use as they push their carts full of coconuts through the streets to peddle. One buko (coconut) usually costs Php23 to Php25 (around US$ .55), juice and meat included.
I wanted to have an estimate on the cost of the buko salad I have asked my mother to prepare for Christmas, so yesterday I bought buko and had a chat with the lady vendor who tends a stall in the market.
I ordered two and she asked, "What kind of buko?"
It's routine. When buying coconut or buko in Tagalog, the vendor would ask what kind you want. They mean what texture of coconut meat you'd like —- runny, chewy, or dry?
I answered runny because I want a very soft meat with my juice, no need to chew, as the meat goes with the juice and can easily be swallowed. The chewy texture is good for buko salad and the dry one is usually used for bukayo, a very sweet Filipino dessert.
She walked to where the coconuts were piled up and started tapping some to determine which one was runny.
"How do you know which ones are runny?" I inquired.
She kind of giggled and said she just knows it by the sound and it's hard to explain.
I watched her skillfully whack the coconut with her bolo knife. Six years in this business has made her skilled in the art of opening the coconut. I began to ask more questions and her lips broke into a smile when she realized I wasn't going to stop and I was interested in what she does for a living.
She was now done pouring the juice into the cellophane bag. She picked up the bolo again to cut the coconut into halves then scraped the coconut meat while listening to my questions.
Her name is Lerma, 43 years old and a mother of six. Selling buko is her only livelihood. Her husband doesn't have a job; they just manage their small stall across the market together. Fortunately, she doesn't have to rent the stall where she is selling and she doesn't have to peddle either. Her in-laws own the land where their house stands. At the back of her coconut stall is a short and narrow alley leading to their house. They have been here for 20 years.
She used to sell fruits but chose to sell buko to simplify her job. The coconuts are delivered every other night so all she needs to do is wait. If she sells fruits, she'd need to go to the market herself to buy them.
Her stall is located on a busy corner where there's a lot of traffic, mostly of tricycles — a three-wheeled vehicle commonly used in the Philippines.
It was hard to hear her from the noise of revving tricycle engines and she had a few customers waiting so I didn't fire my questions fast. She answered them all with a smile. I could see a contented woman who didn't air any complaint about her life. I never heard the word "but" from her, seriously. She looked younger than her age, wore lipstick and earrings and didn't appear very stressed. Her hair was even being treated, and despite being covered with cellophane it smelled like a salon. As I watched her tap coconuts and whack them, I noticed all her fingers have a ring and she wore bracelets on each wrist. I've never seen a buko vendor this made up and accessorized!
"How many coconuts can you sell in a day?" I asked.
"It depends, but average is 100 pieces a day." She replied.
She sells the coconut for Php23 each. When I came back today and bought two coconuts again, the price has hiked up to Php25. Here comes the increased prices of the holidays.
"Does it cost the same during Christmas day?" I asked.
"No, one coconut would cost Php30 and we sell the meat by kilo." She answered.
Filipinos like preparing food when there are special occasions like birthdays and fiestas. People willingly spend money on food for Christmas parties and Noche Buena. Christmas is such a big celebration that Filipinos set aside money for it throughout the year.
Vendors, including Ate Lerma, are luckier when these occasions come around. Her big customers are those who sell buko shakes and buko-based desserts around the area. She told me what she earns from selling coconuts is quite enough to support her family. Due to the tropical nature of the Philippines and the abundance of coconut in the country, she might really be doing fine with what she earns, especially during the summer season.
A customer then came and bought 22 pieces of coconut. He already bought 11 pieces prior to that. There was an occasion so he was making buko-pandan salad. Another customer came to buy 10 pieces for his buko shake stall. Ate Lerma got busier and was already requesting for his son to help her open and scrape the coconuts. I didn't want to hold her up from what she was doing anymore, so I thanked her for her time and promised to go back for some more buko the next day.
I'm fortunate that I can buy coconut anytime and regularly give my body the essential electrolytes and minerals for rehydration that they provide. Ate Lerma is a part of my life for the next coming months.


text: Culture 26 January 2004 Writers in prison - Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Sign up for our weekly email * Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is probably the most famous prisoner in the world. A writer and leader of the National League for Democracy, she is once again under house arrest at her home in Yangon, Myanmar (Burma). Aung San Suu Kyi has spent most of the past 15 years in detention, much of the time in solitary confinement. She has suffered greatly for her principled stand against military repression. Separated from her husband and two sons, who remained in England, she was even unable to see her husband, the academic Michael Aris, on his deathbed. Aung San Suu Kyi feared that if she travelled to Britain, she would not be allowed to return to Burma. Recent hopes for peaceful democratic change in Myanmar have waned over the past year. In May 2003, large numbers of attackers were unleashed on a peaceful pro-democracy meeting, and Aung San Suu Kyi, who had been touring the country speaking to enormous crowds, was taken into "protective custody".

text: Now let me discuss our online video business in more detail. We remain optimistic about the online video industry. First, in China online video is already a top Internet application with over 350 million users. We believe brand advertisers will continue to allocate more advertising dollars to this segment.Second, this was related with the significant decline in the market prices of online video content, which would ease the industry's content cost pressure. One of our competitive advantages is our compelling content offering. In the second quarter, Sohu Video continued to focus on giving comprehensive, interactive platform with a rich selection of content for users. On the purchased content side, hit TV series there is (inaudible) reached a record of 355 million video views in the first 30 days of broadcast, setting a new record for single-TV drama on our platform. On the original content side, our reality show, (inaudible) co-produced with Hunan Satellite TV attracted a significant amount of users' engagement on our site. The final seven episodes of the show are broadcasted during primetime on Hunan TV. Our high quality programs are clearly enhancing our users' stickiness, which was evidenced by a number of user and usage statistics, for example, according to comScore, in Q1 2012, the time spent per visitor on Sohu Video increased by about 26% from the previous quarter. During the second quarter, we also began to get prepared for the 2013 content. We plan to broadcast at least one to two hit movie, hit TV drama each month. We will strengthen our cooperation with professional studios and TV stations for Sohu original production. And last, we will enhance our website functionalities and the ease of use to encourage users to upload and to share their self-produced video clips.

ACT Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham will enlist the help of a three-man committee, including Wallabies great Joe Roff and Test captain Stephen Moore, to help design a high-performance program to ensure the club's recent success "isn't a flash in the pan".
The first part of his mission is ensuring the Brumbies stay in title contention this year, despite being thumped by the NSW Waratahs 39-8 on Saturday night and needing to win their last game of the season to make the play-offs.
Larkham signed a three-year deal on Sunday, as forecast in The Sunday Canberra Times, which will see him take charge of the Brumbies under a traditional coaching model when director of rugby Laurie Fisher departs to Europe at the end of the Super Rugby season.
Larkham's deal has been upgraded to keep him in Canberra until the end of 2017 and add stability after a turbulent 12 months.
World Cup-winning coach Jake White quit at the end of last year, chief executive Andrew Fagan resigned, the club relocated its headquarters from Griffith to the University of Canberra and Fisher will link with Gloucester.
The Brumbies' Super Rugby finals hopes hinge on their last round game against the Western Force on July 11, with the team needing to win to make the play-offs in back-to-back years for the first time in a decade.
Former Wallabies playmaker Larkham will team up with Roff, Moore and Brumbies chairman Sean Hammond to find a replacement for Fisher and plan for the future.
''There's a bit more responsibility [for me] and that's exciting. We have to implement a new program, you can't rest on your laurels on what we've done the last three years,'' Larkham said.
''We need to evolve. We certainly feel like we've been [moving towards] creating the best rugby program in the world, but we have to evolve and make sure it isn't a flash in the pan or a one-year thing. We want success over a number of years.''
The injury-hit Brumbies could drop to as low as ninth on the ladder after losing to NSW and having a bye this weekend.
But the good news is that reinforcements are on the way with Matt Toomua, Pat McCabe, Sam Carter, Joseph Tomane, Josh Mann-Rea and Andrew Smith all set to be available to play the Force.
Larkham's appointment for the next three seasons is a huge boost for the club.
He shared the job with Fisher this year, with the role split to give both coaches a say in the running of the team.
Larkham was in charge of recruitment and retention, and his decision to stay in Canberra was a major factor in re-signing seven Wallabies players.
Fisher will be hard to replace when he leaves Canberra at the end of the season. He is regarded as many as one of the best forwards coaches in world rugby.
Set-piece and defence mentor Dan McKellar could move into the forwards coach role vacated by Fisher, with the Brumbies to recruit another coach to join the team.
Larkham said he wanted to remain a hands-on coach, despite his off-field duties increasing.
Brumbies chairman Sean Hammond said the club viewed Larkham as a future Wallabies coach.
''We hope that [the Wallabies] is one of the possibilities of Stephen coaching us for a period of time with players wanting to stay here and players wanting to come here,'' Hammond said.
''If Stephen becomes a Wallabies coach, that's fantastic. We always thought [Larkham] would be the coach [in the future]. The situation with Laurie and Stephen worked seamlessly and they worked fantastic together.
''Laurie has taken another opportunity but Stephen has come through to where we thought he would be.''

In an effort to adhere to new state policies, the Knox City Council this week entered a list of city employees into the official record. City Attorney David Matsey noted that this is in reference to the newly-required nepotism policies, which requires a list of current employees that are grandfathered in to employment and thus exempt from the new policy.
Mayor Rick Chambers said they had to revise the list nearly a dozen times to keep it up to date and accurate. The list consists of every employee currently employed by the city since before July 1 of this year.
The council in June passed a motion adopting a policy regarding conflicts of interest and nepotism of office, which Matsey said was the first step required to conform to Indiana's new guidelines. The council adopted the minimum provisions required by state statutes for nepotism, prohibiting a person from supervising a direct relative. Matsey pointed out that the law does not prevent grandparents from supervising grandchildren in office, and it only affects direct supervisors.

Redskin Fan Favorite Moves From Tight End to Radio
You'd be hard pressed to find a Skins fan who doesn't like Chris Cooley. Since he joined the Skins in the third round of the 2004 draft, Cooley has more than succeeded as a Redskin…and will retire as one. He is one of the few NFL players to play their entire career with one team, and more importantly, he ONLY wanted to be a Redskin. Cooley told the press that if he played in this upcoming season he would only do so in the Burgundy and Gold. Of course, it's easy to play on a team whose fans love you. But the reasons we love Cooley go beyond his exceptional play on the field (2 time Pro Bowler, most receptions by a tight end in the franchise etc...). We love Cooley because he loves us. Captain Chaos created a website, The Cooley Zone, where he posted personal stories about his life. He allowed the fans to get to know him as a person, not just a player. He posted about his road trips, his passion for pottery (which seemed a little random at first, but is something else in which he has found success), random facts, and we even got a look at one of his…well, more "personal" attributes ( for which he later profusely apologized).
I met Cooley twice during his time as a player. Both times he was incredibly nice. I know the players are supposed to be friendly to their fans during meet and greets, but Cooley is by far one of the nicest players I have met. The first time I met him was with my friend Casey at White Flint Mall. We got there ridiculously early and ended up the first people in line to meet him …which actually isn't very surprising if you know us. We were star struck. Cooley is pretty easy on the eyes and henceforth, pretty popular with the ladies, even those who don't really follow football. He greeted us, chatted with us about the team and how much he loves the Skins, signed a photo, and then took an awesome picture with us.
I met Cooley again after a Skins' game (one in which they dominated the Cowboys), with Casey and our friend Haley, and Cooley was just as awesome then. He signed my Redskins hoodie and signed their jerseys. Basically Cooley is just a fun guy to meet and chat with and you can definitely tell how much he loves the Skins...and his fans.
I'm so ecstatic he is staying with the Redskin Organization. He belongs here.
Oh. And last, but definitely not least, here is one of the greatest videos of all time: The Great Ram Hunt of 2008:
Stay tuned for Part II on #47 which will have pictures and quotes from other fans! If you have something awesome to say about Cooley, let me know and I'll put it in the next article J

This is a good view of the two routes down off of the Mt HIlton arete. I took the one to the right, and you can see another one further down on the left. You would still have to climb up quite a bit in elevation to cross over a large canyon if you take the left chute. The route I took is higher, but is very steep and has unstable talus slopes, but the left one does look easier in this photo.

By Capt. Murray Shugars, 2nd Battalion, 198th Combined ArmsMarch 2, 2010
CONTINGENCY OPERATING LOCATION Q-WEST, Iraq - Mississippi Army National Guardsmen delivered care packages from a Rhode Island town to a village near Contingency Operating Location Q-West, during a routine perimeter patrol Feb. 1.
Soldiers with A Company, 2nd Battalion, 198th Combined Arms, 155th Brigade Combat Team, the Q-West force protection company out of Hernando, Miss., delivered clothing, school supplies and other items donated by residents of Barrington, R.I., to the villagers of Jedallah Anuk.
Victoria Belmont - a Barrington grade school teacher with a son and daughter who served as Army officers - organized the effort.
"I am thrilled to know that the packages have arrived," said Belmont, a first- and second-grade teacher at Primrose Hill Elementary School in Barrington. "I am even more excited to think that I can finally give some feedback to so many people who have continued to support my efforts over the years."
Belmont said she represents the people of Barrington and has been gathering and sending donations to Jedallah Anuk for seven years.
The effort began in 2003 when Belmont's son deployed to Iraq as an Apache Longbow pilot serving with the 101st Airborne Division. She read about a 101st program called Adopt-a-Village, in which an American community could support a designated Iraqi community in the division's area of responsibility, said Belmont. Belmont committed to adopting a village in behalf of Barrington and was assigned Jedallah Anuk, she said.
"It was an effort to establish good relations between our American Soldiers and the peoples of Iraq," said Belmont. "The Barrington town council passed a resolution in support of the peoples of the village of Jedallah Anuk in their efforts to achieve self governance, equality and freedom."
Local schools, churches and businesses contributed, said Belmont, and the effort has continued since.
The Soldiers who delivered the packages were glad to help, said Capt. Drew Clark, commander of A Company, 2/198th CAB.
"We're happy to help out this effort," said Clark, a resident of Madison, Miss. "This is a different mission than my Soldiers usually do, and it gives them a chance to get to know the local people on a more personal level."
Staff Sgt. Kenwith D. Scott, a squad leader and patrol commander from Rosedale, Miss., agreed that delivering the gifts was beneficial for the Soldiers as well as the people of Jedallah Anuk.
"Helping people that need help is always a good thing," said Scott. "Our job usually keeps us at a distance from the local people, and it was a good experience to bring these packages to the people. My Soldiers don't get a chance to interact with the locals much, so this was a great opportunity to reach out and to get to know the people and learn more about their culture."
Spc. John W. Day, a truck commander from Williston, Tenn., said he was grateful for the experience.
"This is the first time I've ever had a chance to do something like this, to get out with the people and give gifts," said Day. "It reminds me that these people need our help and that not everybody is a bad guy."
Day said the humanitarian mission allowed him to see the war from a significantly different point of view, one that he would always remember.
"This was my first time ever to walk through an Iraqi village because during patrols we drive our gun trucks around villages," said Day. "I was nervous at first, but the people were happy to see us and glad for the gifts. It was a great experience to see first-hand how the people live, instead of seeing it from behind all that armor."
Pfc. Hunter J. Brown, a gunner from Daleville, Miss., was also glad for the unique mission.
"I've never went inside a village before, and it was exciting to go in where the people live, to interact with them in their own village," said Brown. "This was outstanding, and a big change from our regular patrols, basically driving around but staying away from the villages. This was a good change of pace."
Spc. Robert S. Bowen, a driver from Southaven, Miss., said it was important that U.S. forces continue to help the Iraqi people.
"Helping the Iraqis is always worthwhile," said Bowen. "These people out here in the little villages don't have much money, and they don't seem to get much support from the government. So I'm glad we can help."
Spc. Jeffery D. Thompson, a radio operator and gun truck driver from Wyatte, Miss., said the mission sent a powerful message to the Iraqis.
"It was a great opportunity to assist the people, especially the children who need clothing, shoes and school supplies," said Thompson. "It showed we're here to help, that we care. I was glad we could help the people from Barrington deliver these gifts. It shows that Americans are united and that they care about rebuilding Iraq."
Ibrahim Hawaas Madlul, the mukhtar or village leader of Jedallah Anuk, said he was grateful to both the people of Barrignton, R.I., and to the Mississippi Guardsmen for the gifts.
"On behalf of my village, I want to thank the people of Barrington for these gifts," said Madlul. "The coats and shoes and the school supplies have made us happy. I also want to thank the Soldiers from Mississippi for delivering them to us."

Aight, apparently the best rec shop in the 253 according to the internet, so I had to check it out. In a little strip mall next to a tattoo shop, making it easy to relocate. I've been there a few times and have checked out another rec shop in the area, so I feel like I got a solid opinion. The ID checker at the door is friendly, if the people behind the desk are busy he'll usually talk to you and help out. All the people behind the desk are chill, some are experienced growers, so feel free to get educated. TwoFiveTrees has the best discounts and deals that I've seen in rec shops. They even have 1 oz bulk deals when in stalk. They have the most decorated inventory I've ever seen. Multiple professional brands selling the same strains so you can try different people's attempts at the same strain, loads of strains on a giant wall to choose from, a diverse amount of edibles and dab friendly to the max. This place is also very open and roomy, never will you walk in and feel stuffy. I was surprised by the tax prices (which ALL rec shops have), but I consider it a tip to the government for cutting out shady dealers and always having product available. A bit of advice to anyone about to drive out there, they have strong stuff on the wall that's cheaper than some less potent buds they may try and sell to you at first. There's a lot of dank stuff in there and friendly people to help, so don't rush yourself. And they've got a digital 'coffee card' system for every visit, if you know what I mean. Oh! And the bud is NEVER pancaked. Other rec shops need to catch up. 5 STARS!

OVER 200 YEARS AGO in 1783, ONE OF MAN'S OLDEST DREAMS CAME TRUE
to fly with the birds…
Various methods were attempted,usually running and jumping off buildings and cliffs with bird wings attached.
September 19 – France. Ettienne de Montgolfiere experiment in Paris before King Louis XVI. A cock, a duck and a sheep were sent up on board the "Martial" balloon.
November 21. Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis D'Arandres become the first men to make an aerial journey. Lifting off in a Montgolfiere type balloon, they fly over Paris.
June 4. Elizabeth Tible becomes the first female aeronaut; she flew over Lyons, France, singing the opera.
June 24. Edward Warren, 13 years old, is the first to fly in the U.S.A. He was chosen because the lifting power of the balloon was too small to carry its builder, P. Carnes.
January 7. The first international flight is from England to France. Jean Pierre Blanchard and Dr. Jefferies are the pilots.
June 11-13. First Atlantic crossing by Ben Abruzzo, Maxie Anderson and Larry Newman. 3,108 miles.
November 10-12. First Pacific crossing by Ben Abruzzo, Larry Newman, Ron Clark and Rocky Aoki. 5,768 miles.
June 6. Highest flight. Per Lindstrand reaches a height of 65,000 feet.
January 13-20. Longest flight. Steve Fosset attempts to fly around the world. He flies 9004.5 miles before international politics force him to land.
Brian Jones and Bertrand Piccard fly around the world in 20 days and 20 nights. Flying from Switzerland around the world landing in North Africa.
Steve Fossett completes the first solo around the world flight from Australia and landing back in Australia. The flight takes 13 days and 13 nights.
There are many planned around-the-world attempts including one to fly at the edge of space at 130,000 feet in a pressurized NASA designed space capsule balloon.
