Yesterday I commented on Bohemianglassandmore's posting of a Loetz vase. I mentioned that I was looking for one but most that I have seen seem to be small.
Well I guess the Roman goddess Diana (of the hunt) heard me and today I found and bought this nice example : Art Nouveau shape with dimpled sides and ruffled top. AND 8 inches high.

The point of the submission is quite simple: man vs nature is a common conflict in fiction, but not so much in gaming, this submission is a step to correct that.
A contest between good and evil. You choose the winner. Shall it be the betrayed or the betrayer who conquers?

Some things remember well. The stones of the Chambers of Nul soaked up the terror of the encarcerated victims and even now remember it, slowly releasing it like sweat. The buried city of Mastad remembers the cries of its citizens as they were crushed, and still they can be heard on the wind.
So it is with the Bed. Over the centuries it has sat in this room it has been host to some interesting guests, and each has left an…impression. Every sleepless night, every troubled thought: the Bed remembers it all. And if you were to spend a night in its downy pillows, you might remember some of it too…

This means they will need to be stretched before they can be properly tuned. There are many resources online to show you how to do this, we also send literature with your ukulele guiding you through this step. It is a process which takes around 15 minutes and is extremely easy to do. Our ukuleles are made to order and usually take 5 working days to manufacture. We pride ourselves on creating highly customisable products. This means that if you would like a different base colour or would like to tweak the design we can usually do this for you. We are also able to use different brands with our ukuleles if you have a preferred make of instrument. We love custom requests so if you have a completely different design in mind get in touch and we'll see what we can do. made from: For our base ukuleles we use standard Malani Soprano Ukes. We sell these ukes as beginner's instruments so if you are a ukulele whizz and would like to have a different brand used for the base we are more than happy to work with you on this. Having said that we all play Malanis and we love 'em! dimensions: Our ukuleles are a standard soprano size.

Mdantsane's formidable music group
Mdantsane music group Manskap is a contemporary hip-hop group who took East London by storm in 2007 with their debut mix album entitled Mdantsane.
They released their second, self-titled album Manskap late last year, which sold more than 50 000 copies in the Eastern Cape and throughout South Africa, especially in Johannesburg.
The group are now planning their second music video. Manskap consists of Lungelo "Lance" Mampofu, Khwezi "Bond" Gumse, Thulani "Tulz" Phezisa, Phindile "Blu" Magida and Mawethu "DeeBira" Matebese.
The group has collaborated with other local music performers such as Lundi Tyamara, the Cape Town gospel superstar, and Kororo "Kweriez" of Rhymes Squad fame. Their efforts and the production
of their music by Siyabonga Hlekani – a Johannesburg composer and producer – have contributed to the popular rap music township flavour with which the group has become synonymous.
"We are shooting another music video after Move and we are doing it at home", Lance said proudly. The shooting of the this video has been delayed due to the heavy assault on band member Kwezi "Bond" Gumse, with the band deciding not to go ahead until "Bond" could participate.
He has recently been released from hospital and is now steadily recovering at home. Lance remembers the time when he used to dance his creative routines at Highway Super Centre in Mdantsane in 1992. These routines were the inspiration for his choreographed signature moves, which he shared with up-and-coming
acts like Mzembe, S'bu and Sgcebe in the late 90s.
"We have to be on local, national and international websites, radio stations and television networks," Lance said, stressing the importance of private, public and corporate involvement in the arts, especially around "barren areas" in the Eastern Cape music landscape, such as Mdantsane. This self-owned, communitybased
and youth-orientated group insist that other local musicians should stop over-analysing their work and celebrate local artists.

What is Urban Studies?
Urban Studies is a field of study that creates innovative, real-world knowledge of the challenges and opportunities of city life. Both inside and outside the classroom, the Urban Studies Department reaps the advantage of the immense complexity and diversity both of New York City as a preeminent global city, and Queens as one of the most diverse counties in the United States. In Urban Studies we take a multi-disciplinary approach. We combine history, anthropology, sociology, economics, political science and other fields. To a greater or lesser degree, all of our courses address the deep inequalities that rend our urbanizing world.
Our mission is to help students to understand cities and think critically about them and their environs, to prepare students for active and engaged participation in civic life, and to provide students with the knowledge and skills they will need for successful careers in the public, non-profit, and private sectors, as well as for advanced studies.
Department History. The Department of Urban Studies was founded in 1971 by Marilyn Gittell, a scholar and activist who spearheaded the movement for school equity and democratic schooling, and Matthew Edel, an urban economist who did pioneering research on the economy of cities and neighborhoods.

Malpractice Risks of Routine Medical Procedures
Dec 19, 2013 - 6:50:15 PM
For thousands of patients each year, seemingly benign screening, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures lead to a significant injury or death.
(HealthNewsDigest.com) - CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 19, 2013 -- Mistakes made during common procedures in the course of medical treatment may be less likely to make headlines than wrong-site surgery or a brain-damaged baby, but they still impact the patients and caregivers facing the consequences. In CRICO Strategies 2013 Annual Benchmarking Report: Malpractice Risks of Routine Medical Procedures, 1,497 cases are analyzed which alleged malpractice related to a non-surgical procedure. While the majority (88%) of these cases highlight skill-based errors, the analysis explores two correlative issues: rules of practice (policy and protocol), and inadequate knowledge or judgment demonstrated by clinicians or administrative personnel.
Clinicians are dismayed when a patient is injured, especially when the triggering event is a "routine" task or common medical procedure. This study--mined from CRICO Strategies Comparative Benchmarking System (CBS)--highlights six primary medical procedures: scopes, injections, punctures, biopsies, insertion of tubes, and imaging. While the very nature of procedure-related claims implies some technical or skill-based failure, it is critical to understand how rule and judgment-based errors contribute to the actual point of injury.
These medical procedure-related cases were filed from 2007-2011 and represent $215M in incurred losses. Unfortunately, for thousands of patients each year, seemingly benign screening, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures lead to a significant injury or death. And, while more than two thirds of the injuries were relatively minor or temporary, 14 percent of the procedure cases involved patients who died.
CRICO Strategies CBS database currently holds 275,000 medical malpractice cases from 500 hospitals and provides a unique insight into what goes wrong, and why. Analyzing malpractice data offers health care providers opportunities to change specific clinical systems or clinician behaviors and reduce those dominant risks.
One of the challenges to improving procedure safety is that the problem is not isolated in the ED, the OR, or the ICU. The risks are ubiquitous and decentralized, and the first step toward risk reduction is recognizing a recurring problem and understanding its breadth and depth.
"In the past, patient safety efforts have focused on inpatient areas, such as the operating room," says Tejal Gandhi, MD, President National Patient Safety Foundation. "Now, however, medical procedures are frequently performed in settings outside of the hospital, with an increased number of adverse events being identified. We need to translate the lessons learned in hospital safety to these other settings of care to ensure that procedures are performed as safely as possible."
The next hurdle is finding clinical leadership to champion the remediation of such a diffuse problem. "Moving the needle on patient safety improvement is hard work," says Mark E. Reynolds, CRICO President. "In order to get health care leaders' attention, to convince clinicians to carve time out of an already overburdened schedule, to motivate insurance providers to fund solutions, you have to show up with credible evidence that you are tackling the right problems. Our CBS database and the surrounding expertise enable CRICO and CRICO Strategies members to be proactive and effective in addressing patient safety over the long term across an entire organization."

When I received an invitation to participate in the All About Parenting Blog Carnival, I knew just what to do. There needed to be an entry about Kids at Play in the yard and garden. What kid doesn't like to play outside and explore the yard? Here are a few ideas to make the most of the time your kids spend playing in the yard and garden:
Toys for the Yard and Garden
There are several different toys available for play in the yard and the garden. These can range from inexpensive to moderately expensive. Kids like to pretend they are working along-side you, so why not find some kid-friendly tools? There are many different options available for plastic gardening tools and wheelbarrows to even lawnmowers. Remember the bubble mower? It was a fun way for the kids to pretend that they were mowing the lawn just like mom and dad.
Perhaps you want your kids to have gardening tools which are a little sturdier than the plastic ones. You will find several smaller tools such as spades and rakes at your local garden center. They will have several options to choose from to outfit your kids and encourage play in the garden.
Bugs and Butterflies
Maybe you have a budding entomologist on your hands. These kids will enjoy playing with the many different bug catchers and bug houses that are available for purchase. You can also make a simplified home with an old fashioned canning jar and a lid with holes punched in the top. This will provide hours of fun and excitement as they catch, observe and then release the many different bugs they will be able to find right in their own backyard.
If you have fireflies, show your kids how to catch them at dusk during the summer. This will provide a fun experience for the family.
Don't forget to have a butterfly net on hand. Your kids will love chasing the bright butterflies and trying to catch them.
You may want to visit your local garden center and buy a container of ladybugs or a praying mantis sack. This will provide hours of fun as the kids let the ladybugs crawl on their hands and they sing the "ladybug, ladybug, fly away home" song. They will enjoy watching for the baby praying mantis's to hatch. Not only is this a fun activity, but it will be beneficial for the plants in your garden as these bugs get rid of the bad bugs.
Feed the Birds
When it comes to birdfeeders, it doesn't need to be expensive. While you can purchase a ready-made bird feeder, why not have your kids make one instead? It can be as simple as making one out of a milk carton to taking a pinecone, spreading peanut butter on it and then rolling it in birdseed. Attach a string to hang it from a tree branch and then watch the enjoyment that it brings to both the birds and your kids. Your kids will like feeding the birds and watching them flock around the feeder.
Stepping Stones
One of the best presents I ever received from my son was a stepping stone he made for my garden. He had fun making it and I enjoyed placing it in my garden path. These can be as simple or as fancy as you like. The kids will enjoy making them and then seeing them in the garden. It is a great way to display some creative artwork.
Plant a
What kid doesn't enjoy playing in the dirt? There are many different things you can plant in a kids garden that will bring lots of joy and excitement all season long. Here are a few things your kids may enjoy planting in their garden:
- Easter Egg Radishes—While they may not enjoy eating them, it is fun to see the many different colors that these radishes grow in.
- Thumbelina Carrots—These carrots grow much shorter and your kids will think they have grown their very own baby carrots to enjoy.
- Bright Lights Swiss Chard—This chard grows in a rainbow of colors that your kids will enjoy seeing.
- Beans—Try Scarlet Runners and Royal Burgandy. These beans will provide lots of color and flowers for your kids to enjoy. There are also many varieties of bush beans that they will enjoy growing and some of them even grow in colors such as purple, but change to green when they are cooked. Kids will enjoy the color-changing magic that these beans possess.
- Potatoes—There are many different varieties available from the standard Russet to the Yukon Gold, Banana Fingerling or for colored fun, try the Blue potato or the Huckleberry variety which is purple.
- Squash/Pumpkins/Gourds—Squash plants are fun and make a big statement in the garden. Pumpkins are fun and provide excitement in October. Try Baby Boo pumpkins, which are small, or Autumn Gold which starts out growing in a yellow-orange color from the very beginning.
- Flowers—Plant annual flowers such as zinnias and marigolds. The kids will enjoy having their own garden from which to pick flowers from and give to mom. They will also enjoy the bright colors.
There are several other things that you can do to promote play in the yard and garden. What are some of the things you can think of that I haven't mentioned? Please share a comment below!

How to Be a Better Networker
If you've applied for every job in town with no luck and are now ready to find other ways to get the job you want, try networking. It's the best way to tap into the "other" job market. Some experts say 70-80% of available open positions aren't posted online. I'd agree that a majority of positions aren't posted or easily found. You're doing a disservice to yourself if you are ONLY looking at the job boards.
By attending events in your area, you can meet key decision makers and contacts that may be able to help you find your next job.
Here are 10 tips to help you get more out of your in-person networking.
1. Find Groups That Target Your Industry
If you want to work in PR for entertainment, as an example, visit Meetup.com and see if there are any groups or organizations that cater to this niche. If not, aim for a public relations organization like PRSA, which might have local chapters in your city. By connecting with people in the industry you work in or plan to work in, you can find out what's happening in the field and what companies are actively looking to hire people with your skillset.
2. Have Your Elevator Speech Ready
When you meet someone new, you don't want to stumble over what you say when they ask about you. You want to talk about your current role, and maybe briefly mention that you're interested in finding a career in X area/Y industry. Keep it short and leave room for people you meet to ask questions.
3. Speaking of Questions… Ask lots of them yourself. People like talking about themselves, and this is a great way to get them to open up about hiring. While it shouldn't be your agenda to aggressively approach a new contact about hiring you, asking casual questions like "what does your company have planned for next year?" can open the door to you getting a little insight into what might turn into a job opportunity down the road.
4. Take Notes
Ask for business cards of anyone you find to be a valuable contact (just don't be that collector who goes around the room with nothing to offer!). If you can step away from the event, make quick notes on each card so that you remember who you met and maybe something you should follow up on. This will help you keep from letting good opportunities slip through the cracks.
5. Don't Be a Wallflower
So many people feel awkward their first time at a networking event. That should help you realize you're not alone in wanting to nurse your ice water along the wall and blend in with the plants. But fake it until it's easier. After all, you came to the event to make new contacts, so make yourself walk up to someone who maybe looks as nervous as you do. It gets easier.
6. Don't Self Promote
Yes, you want a job. But chances are, no one is going to interview you on the spot for one. That's not your purpose. Instead, aim to meet a variety of people, and follow up later to grow the relationships. You should aim to make new contacts that could, down the road, develop into an opportunity for a career move.
7. Pay Attention
Once you attend a few industry events, you'll begin to see the same people. Remember who you meet, and make an effort to recall something you spoke about at the previous meeting. This will impress your new contacts and help them remember you.
8. Bring Business Cards
Seems straightforward enough, but many people end up forgetting their cards and waste a great opportunity to connect. But don't machine gun spray the room with your cards; focus on making quality connections.
9. Pick a Few Events
It can be tempting to attend a different networking event each night, once you get the hang of it. But you're better off focusing on a couple groups that you can really commit to and start building relationships in. 10. Master the Followup After the event, make sure you reach out quickly. And please, don't just automatically subscribe your new contacts to your automated email newsletter! Send a personal follow-up reminding each person where you met and why you want to stay in contact – and then keep in touch.

"Black Jack" Of The 10th
A Negro cavalry regiment was John J. Pershing's "home" in the service. From it came his nickname, and he never lost his affection for—or failed to champion—the valorous colored troopers he led.
February 1967 | Volume 18, Issue 2
Pershing was one of the carefully selected officers who commanded troops in the two crack Negro cavalry regiments that served on the frontier after the Civil War. Although there has never been in the U.S. Army the sentimental regard for regimental tradition that encrusts the military establishments of Britain and other nations, Pershing's professional "home" was the 10th (Negro) Cavalry. He served with it in Montana Territory and in the charge up San Juan Hill in 1898, and it was under his command in the Philippines and during the punitive expedition into Mexico in 1916.
Pershing was transferred to the 10th in 1895 as a thirty-five-year-old first lieutenant. By that time the regiment had served on the western frontier for almost thirty years, and had established itself as one of the hardest fighting, best disciplined, and most efficient mounted forces in the field. Anyone whose knowledge of western history has come largely through motion pictures, television, or popular fiction might be surprised to learn that two of the finest regiments in the Indian-fighting army—one fifth of the total cavalry force involved—were composed of Negro troopers with white officers. Invariably, in any action scene of the army riding to the rescue of a wagon train or a besieged settlement, every trooper is a white man. In actuality, a white settler with a mess of Indian troubles on his hands—including many an ex-Confederate who had previously considered the Negro incapable of military service—stood an excellent chance of being saved by a hard-riding troop of black cavalrymen.
An instance occurred on September 17, 1868, shortly after the 10th and its fellow Negro regiment, the 9th, were organized. The scene was Beecher Island on the Arikaree fork of the Republican River, near present-day Wray in Yuma County, Colorado. Major George A. Forsyth, at the head of fifty civilian scouts—mostly former Union and Confederate soldiers—was deep into Indian country when he was attacked by a force of Cheyennes, Sioux, and Arapahoes that out-numbered his band at least ten to one. For nearly a week they were besieged; Forsyth was badly hurt, and nearly half of his command were wounded or killed. Two scouts managed to get through the Indian lines and make it to Fort Wallace, Kansas, 125 miles away. Two troops of the 10th Cavalry under Captain Louis Carpenter saddled up immediately, made it to the Arikaree in the amazingly short time of two days, and rescued Major Forsyth and his survivors. (For eyewitness accounts of the Battle of Beecher Island, see "Don't Let Them Ride Over Us" in this issue.)
The 10th had been organized on September 30, 1866, under the command of Colonel Benjamin H. Grierson. A major general of cavalry during the Civil War, he had led "Grierson's Raid" into Mississippi in 1863, and was one of the few non-West Pointers given regimental command after the war. Less stiff-backed than the Regulars, easy-going and tolerant, he was later criticized by one of his staff officers as "too prone to forgive offenses and trust to promises for reform." Yet he was undoubtedly an excellent choice for command of one of the new Negro regiments, and was retained at his post for twenty-four years, until his retirement in 1890. On finally being relieved of that command, he boasted of his "buffalo soldiers" (as the Indians called them), or "brunettes" (as they were known to white regiments), that after "contact with the most warlike and savage Indians of the Plains," the 10th had "maintained a most gallant and zealous devotion to duty."
He was not exaggerating: the list of the regiment's engagements and the reports of its officers to the Adjutant General's Office showed that its various units were constantly engaged wherever they served, from the Mexican border to the high plains of the North. Their record is studded with victories against heavy odds, often without the supervision of white officers that the army bureaucracy believed was necessary. In September of 1867, for example, Private John G. Randall of Troop G, travelling with two white civilians, was attacked by sixty to seventy Cheyennes forty-five miles west of Fort Hays along the Union Pacific Railroad. They were caught in the open, and the two civilians were killed almost immediately. Randall, however, burrowed into the cut bank along the railroad tracks; he was shot in the hip and took eleven lance thrusts in the shoulders, but refused to be rooted out. The relief column found him, still forted up in his prairie-dog hole, surrounded by the bodies of thirteen Cheyennes.

LA CROSSE, Wis. - Bowdoin men's outdoor track athletes Coby Horowitz (Stow, Mass.) and Jacob Ellis (Brattleboro, Vt.) rounded out a fantastic weekend by the Polar Bears by both claiming All-American honors during the final day of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship Sunday in Wisconsin.
Horowitz, a junior, added to his impressive resume with a pair of top-eight finishes in the 1500 meters and 5K races, making him a three-season All-American this year after earning the prestigious status in both cross-country and indoor track. Ellis, a first-year, capped his sensational rookie campaign with a fifth-place showing in the 800 meters.
Combined with All-American performances by both Erin Silva (women's pole vault) and Katherine Harmon (women's hammer throw), all four Bowdoin qualifiers for the NCAA Championship will be returning home with hardware in the school's most successful performance at outdoor nationals in over two decades.
Horowitz entered the 1500 meters seeded fifth and improved his position one spot by claiming fourth-place overall in a time of 3:49.19, three seconds off the winning pace. Just a short time later, he returned for the grueling 5K race and, despite entering the event seeded 17th, posted an eighth-place showing in 14:34.09 to take his second All-American finish of the afternoon. Horowitz has earned All-American honors in each of the last six seasons and is the first Bowdoin track athlete in the Coach Peter Slovenski-era to earn All-American in two different events at the same NCAA Championship.
Ellis equally rose to the occasion after entering the championships with the 11th-best time in the nation. His time of 1:51.68 was good enough for fifth-place, an All-American honor, and was less than two seconds off the winning time. Ellis is the first Bowdoin first-year to net All-American recognition since Delia Van Loenen in the heptathlon in 1998. His preliminary qualifying time of 1:51.50 was the second-fastest time in school history.
With the combined scores of Ellis and Horowitz, the Bowdoin men finished 22nd overall. The Polar Bear women finished 61st.

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Embassy in Kabul plans to spend up to $250,000 in taxpayer money on the creation of a website that will allow people to show how "the Afghanistan of today has provided opportunities that didn't exist before."
The stand-alone website -- or dedicated YouTube channel -- must give people in Afghanistan and around the world the ability to upload short, personally recorded videos "describing why and how the individual is contributing to the betterment of Afghanistan and/or the ways in which the Afghanistan of today has provided opportunities that didn't exist before, and offering messages of hope for the country's future."
The grant announcement, posted on Feb. 21 at Grants.gov, is one of at least 61 solicitations posted since Monday, and the total dollar amount is relatively small compared with some of the other "funding opportunities."
The money is available to all U.S., Afghan and international organizations or companies with direct experience in website design, video recording and editing, and media or public relations campaigns. Eligible organizations must have a successful track record of implementing projects in Afghanistan.
U.S. organizations or companies that might get the grant are required to partner with an Afghan organization or company.
Secretary of State John Kerry has spent his first few weeks on the job defending the State Department expenditures as vital for national security, business opportunities, and America's global leadership.
He's made the point that the foreign policy budget is just over one percent of the federal budget, but when difficult fiscal choices loom, foreign aid is often seen as the easiest place to point fingers.
"Let me be very clear," Kerry said in a speech this week at the University of Virginia. "Foreign assistance is not a giveaway. It's not charity. It is an investment in a strong America and in a free world. Foreign assistance lifts other people up and then reinforces their willingness to link arms with us in common endeavors. And when we help others crack down on corruption, that makes it easier for our own compliance against corruption, and it makes it easier for our companies to do business as well."

The Outlawz & Bone Thugs n Harmony will hit the studio later this month to start working on an album they will drop together hopefully for later this year. The group will be called Thug Brother's.
In addition, The Outlawz are also embarking on the "Better Dayz Tour" which will be a tribute to fallen rap legend, Tupac Shakur. The tour is scheduled to start early 2003, hopefully by February, and will cover the United States!
In what is set to be a busy year, The Outlawz also plan to drop a new album, but are keeping it heavily under wraps. On their website, the state, "The album will be out sometime in 2003 and it WILL be on a major label. The Executive Produers of the album are the Outlawz & Rico Wade from the Dungeon Family. Some of the guest that will be on the album are
Jazzy Pha, T.I, Bone Thugs, E-40, Eric Sermon, Eightball…… and a couple other suprises."
Sounds good! We'll keep you posted if there's any chance of the "Better Dayz Tour" hittin' our shores

The WWE website quietly removed Ron Simmons' profile from the Raw section on Wednesday, which should confirm his reported departure from the organization. However, WWE did not make the standard "future endeavors" announcement regarding Simmons. Simmons' profile has since been moved to the WWE Alumni section.
As announced last night on SmackDown, a rematch between Matt Hardy and "The All-American American" Jack Swagger for the ECW Championship is set to take place at the Royal Rumble.
Chris Jericho was advertised to wrestle John Cena at Raw brand house shows this weekend, but is apparently off them following his "firing" on Monday's Raw. Randy Orton took his place at last night's house show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in a losing effort to Cena.

Is it possible to convey, through the experience of just one man, the sweep and enormity of the horror that was American slavery?
That, quite simply, is the formidable task that British director Steve McQueen has set for himself with his new film, the blistering "12 Years a Slave." And even if the movie weren't as good as it is, we'd need to thank him for trying; far too few filmmakers have had the courage or initiative to address head-on the darkest chapter of U.S. history.
As it happens, the film is stunningly good, thanks both to McQueen's unflinching, unsentimental approach and to impeccable casting, most crucially of the wonderfully expressive Chewitel Ejiofor as a man with a truly extraordinary — and extraordinarily true — story.
The film is based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a black man who was born free in New York. In 1841, Northup, a skilled violinist, was lured to Washington, D.C., with the offer of work. Instead, his "employers" drugged him and sold him to a slave trader.
The very title of the film gives away a key fact, but it's hardly a spoiler. The crux of the movie is not whether, but HOW, Northup summoned the strength and the cunning to survive 12 years in the hell of a series of Louisiana plantations.
Crucial early scenes depict a comfortable, happy life in Saratoga, N.Y., where Northup lived with his wife and two children. That all changes in one hellish moment, when he awakes in shackles, his wallet and papers gone, and realizes he has no way of proving who he is. He loses even his name.
Soon, Northup's on his way to Louisiana. Shock — his, and ours — deepens as he stands for inspection, surrounded by other slaves for sale, many naked, poked and prodded like cattle by their seller (a frighteningly banal Paul Giamatti) who has no problem separating a mother from her small children. (Later, as the mother — a moving Adepero Oduye — weeps, her new mistress consoles her: "Your children will soon be forgotten.")
Northup's first owner, William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch) is, in the scheme of things, a more sympathetic type, and he appreciates his new slave's intelligence. But he's powerless to protect Northup from a sadistic overseer (Paul Dano, reliably chilling), and a confrontation Northup has with the overseer leads to one of the film's most excruciating scenes — perhaps one of the most painful in any film about slavery. Hung from a tree, Northup is left to dangle for hours, teetering between life and death. His toes, which barely touch the ground, are his only hope. All the while, plantation life continues in full view of this horror: children playing, other slaves working, the mistress looking on from the porch.
Northup survives, but only to be sent off to another owner, the monstrous Edwin Epps, who cites scripture as support for 150-lash whippings. Epps — mesmerizingly portrayed by Michael Fassbender, a McQueen regular — also has sexual desires for a lovely young slave, Patsey, who has to endure not only Master's advances but the poisonous, violent jealousy of his wife (Sarah Paulson, also excellent.) A scene in which Patsey is subjected to Epps' most crazed fury is so harrowing, you may need to close your eyes — but don't. Newcomer Lupita Nyong'o is shattering in the role.
But the film truly belongs to Ejiofor, whose big, soulful eyes seem to register so many things at once: Shock, pain, grit, determination, abject despair at times, cautious hope at others — and always, dignity.
"I don't want to survive," he says at one point. "I want to LIVE." But before he can live, he must survive. It's an extraordinary tale. How McQueen and his team portray that tale is quite extraordinary, too.

Saint Joachim Catholic Church Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in LaRue County, is about a mile east of White City on Howardstown Road.
The church was established about 1850 by Father Thomas A. Mulhall Sr., the son of Thomas Kempis Mulhall Sr., who emigrated from Ireland in the early 1800's.
Thomas A. Mulhall Sr. built a log cabin church in the White City area that was not far from where the cemetery is located.
The church was once referred to as Mulhall Chapel. It burned a couple of decades later.
Despite his many family ties in Kentucky, Thomas Lincoln was a wanderer. First settling in Elizabethtown with his new bride, he became restless and moved to the Sinking Spring Farm in LaRue County. In 1809, he bought land on Knob Creek, only a few miles east of Sinking Spring.
After a land dispute in 1816, he again packed up and set off for Indiana with wife Nancy, daughter Sarah, and son Abraham, leaving behind only two small cabins which quickly fell to ruin.
Nancy Belle Raine moved to White City with her husband Roy, on Feb. 7, 1953.
Raine said there are many things she remembers about the small community that reflect its rich past.
The old location of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, a long-standing congregation of White City, was said to have served as a hospital during the Civil War.
Roy Raines' brother, Walter, served as the caretaker of Pleasant Grove cemetery for a number of years, and mentioned the tale of the church converting to a temporary hospital for wounded soldiers.
A one-room schoolhouse with the original chalkboard still inside, sits off to the side of a yard on Raine Road.
Bright green leaves from nearby trees and long shoots of grass have grown up around the bare boards, that were once painted a crisp white.
Odds and ends fill the inside where student chairs and desks once sat. A single light bulb hangs down from the darkened paneled ceiling –the only internal addition.
Pleasant Grove Baptist Church was established 161 years ago on Sept. 11, 1852, nine years before the start of the Civil War.
In the church history it is recorded that a group of believers met in the middle of a cluster of sycamore trees, which is how the church got its name.
The original church building was built of logs in 1853, but was replaced with a new building dedicated on May 5, 1897.
The small community of White City is about five miles outside of Hodgenville on Bardstown Road. It was established sometime in the 1800's as an unincorporated community.
It was registered in the U.S. Department of the Interior's geographical database on Sept. 20, 1979.
According to Robert M. Rennick, author of Kentucky Place Names, White City was given its name from a man who visited the area.
There have been many theories throughout the course of history that have suggested animals can heal human hurts.
Animal therapy has become a well-used practice in working with troubled adults and children alike, using cats and dogs as intervention "therapists."
However, Jeff Grams and Harold Beismer of Second Chance Youth Ranch outside Magnolia, utilize much larger animals – horses.
Homestead Family Farms was recently awarded Environmental Certification by Validus for their commitment to environmental cropland stewardship.
"We're very pleased to be receiving this recognition again this year," said Aaron Reding, Homestead Family Farms. "This is our fourth year of recognition and we are excited about what the certification has provided us."
The 35th annual Howardstown Homecoming was held Aug. 4 at Saint Ann's Church.
The popular event started in 1978 with picnic on the grounds. Now, second and third generations of Howardstown families are enjoying the festivities.
"The grounds were filled with a lot of people this year," said Lois Cecil, principal at Saint Ann's School.
At one time small towns had one or two major stores to supply food and other supplies. These stores often were the central "hot spot" for visiting with neighbors and sharing a bit of gossip.
For Howardstown, the local hot spot was the old F.M. Head store.
Also called the Howardstown Grocery, Howard Brother's store, and Head's Grocery, the business was established in 1875 by Joe Howard, the founder of Howardstown.
Union Band Baptist Church outside Howardstown was established in 1856 by members of the Stiles family.
The original church building was located on a hill near to where the church is now. According to Herbie "Herb" Stevenson, former pastor of UBBC, "lightning hit it and they had to rebuild."
The white frame building was completed in 1924. It has double entry doors used to separate the genders. Men used the right door; women used the left.
The building is surrounded by six acres but the congregation once owned several more acres.
Charles Simms III, chief circuit judge for LaRue, Nelson and Hart Counties, is an alumnus of Saint Ann's School in Howardstown.
Simms attended the small school in 6th, 7th and 8th grades. He attended Saint Catherine's in New Haven for grades 1-5.
He called his time at Saint Ann's "a wonderful experience."
There were five other students in his 8th grade class: Anna Bowling, Jerry Mouser, Scott Johnson, Joey Holcomb and Archie Spalding. They got to know each other well.
The Louisville Archdiocese website http://www.archlou.org provides background on Saint Ann's Catholic Church in Howardstown.
It reads: Before a Catholic church was built in Howardstown, priests coming from Hodgenville would swim or wade the Rolling Fork River to celebrate Mass in private homes. The first Saint Ann Church was erected between 1862 and 1865 on the site of the present cemetery, and the first school was built nearby.
As a light breeze wisps through the dark green leaves of the trees in the rolling knobs of Howardstown, a schoolgirl skips up to and peeks around the corner of a small white building.
It appears to be a house. But when the girl, in her khaki pants and navy polo, opens one of the bright blue doors, you'll see classrooms and students inside. The building is one of the oldest schools in the area – Saint Ann's.
Members of Hardin County Playhouse believe life beyond our planet is likely.
Whether they believe it will arrive on Earth in a manner that in any way resembles its latest production is another matter.
Man-eating alien plants, '50s and '60s rhythm and blues, a Greek chorus and a skid row flower shop are some of the elements woven into the storyline of "Little Shop of Horrors." The HCP production opens tonight at Plum Alley Theater in the Historic State Theater complex in Elizabethtown.

Enter 3D painting, GE's new baby which could be used to fix up anything that's made of metal. Advertisement Formally known as 'cold spray', the technique sprays metal powders at high velocities to add material to existing objects. Amazingly, the speed at which the material hits the object is enough to help it adhere—there's no high temperature or pressure required to build up layers of metal onto the object in questions. Anteneh Kebbede, from GE, explains:"[W]hat's particularly exciting about cold spray as an innovative, 3D process is that it affords us the opportunity to restore parts using materials that blend in and mirror the properties of the original part itself. This extends the lifespan of parts by years, or possibly by decades."In theory, 3D painting is only limited by the spread of its spray, too, so it should be possible to repair even quite large structures using the technique, and unlike methods such as welding or soldering, it's much safer because it all happens at room temperature. Now, someone just needs to work out how to ship this stuff in a can. [GE]Reply24 repliesLeave a reply

It must be, as Ari Savitsky reports at the Providence Daily Dose, if even Kenneth A. Capalbo of Wakefield can run for president.
Capalbo was one of the challengers last year against US Representative Patrick J. Kennedy, and by the contrast he offered to Kennedy during an RI-PBS debate, he made Patrick more closely resemble the second coming of Winston Churchill:
A retired corrections officer, Capalbo, 64, made opposition to the Iraq war the centerpiece of the congressional bid. He claimed the attack against Iraq was the long-held goal of Zionist Jews who have too much control over American foreign policy. Capalbo got 7.6 percent of the vote in that election.

Every fortnight, give or take, I find myself laying prone, wearing only my underpants, on a Frenchman's table. I remain there for 40 minutes, give or take, my eyes closed, as hands are applied to my skin as if I were mere dough. And then I hand over 50 quid, bid au revoir to my Frenchman, and spring off into the night.
The Frenchman, you may have guessed, is my osteopath. And I, in fact, have a bad back. If these two things weren't the case I would struggle to justify the above, and might even stop the sessions.
However, to label my Frenchman merely an 'osteopath' would be to do him a massive disservice. The guy is, in actual fact, a bloody wizard. I don't take my trousers off lightly, really I don't. They only come off when they're ordered off by someone who's got tricks up their sleeve and this guy's sleeves are bulging like mailsacks. I've been to a few backwhackers over the past 18 months, men who've squeezed me, folded me, clicked me and one who even pierced me with needles. But this man, this Frenchman, is the first one to apply sorcery to my injuries. And he's getting results.
I did my back in in 2012, stamping on a dress in Leeds. Something slipped out or mushroomed up or went pop at the base of my back and soon I was a wretched, stooped mess, drooling with the pain and the injustice of it all. I don't know if you've ever caved your back in, but I honestly couldn't recommend it. I spent some weeks in tears, only able to walk with the aid of walls, lamp posts or by hooking my arm into the arms of friends. And ever since those paracetamol-filled days, I have been courting osteopaths on and off. But this, I think, is my first serious relationship. It's only been three months, but I think, sometimes, you just know.
The first thing my Frenchman does is sit me down on a seat in his medical boudoir. The sound of pan-pipes slides about the room and my progress is assessed. My Frenchman is so quietly spoken I sometimes wonder whether he is speaking at all and often, when I look at his lips, I realise he isn't. But when he needs to, he does. And when he's done with speaking, he stands up and undresses me with his eyes – well he watches me undress – then he has a good old grope and scratches his chin and orders me on to the slab.
Once I'm horizontal I tend not to open my eyes again. I don't want to go into his methods in any great detail, because I get the feeling they might be a secret and I don't imagine he's very proud of them. Suffice to say, his hands are upon me, but no force is applied, and the time flies. In our first session together he held my feet for about 10 minutes and I thought it was a pisstake. But somehow this drains the pain from my back, so I'm loath to call him on it. I just stay still. He grips me. Occasionally he sighs.
Sometimes I become aware that he is convulsing as he hangs from my flanks. It is as if he is channelling something. A god? Some indefinable energy? A better osteopath? Tiny convulsions. I don't want to open my eyes for fear of what I might see. I worry I'll see my Frenchman in a terrifying, rabid trance, like the little boy in The Shining. More likely I would encounter a French medical professional, looking sadly down at the dove-white body of an overweight columnist, reflecting on the life choices he's made that have brought him to this.
The bottom line is that this wizard is curing my back. And anyone who's ever had a back complaint will know, that's the key. If I found an osteopath who flung shit at my face for 40 minutes each fortnight I'd still pay up if I felt it was strengthening my back. So I'm happy to fork out for my Frenchman's curious mixture of spiritualism and stroking.

Walt Weiss begins his first season as manager of the Rockies. USA TODAY Sports
The Colorado Rockies season fell apart last year largely due to injuries. Ensuing came a franchise record 98 losses.
The Rockies have turned to Walt Weiss -- a former Rockies player -- to right the ship. Only, Weiss has no professional experience as a coach or manager. Last season he coached his son's high school baseball team.
MORE: Spring training team reports
All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki's health has always been a concern, but if he can stay healthy this season he should be the core of the offense. Outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer should also contribute with big bats.
The Rockies can only improve after a last year's performance. Will Weiss earn a trip back to manage the club a second season?
Watch and find out.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Conformation Critique
- - Please critique as a potential stallion
Please critique as a potential stallion 1 Attachment(s) A lady I know wants to keep this yearling colt as a stud. I have seen way to many stallions out there that needed to never breed. I was wondering what thoughts were out there as to he would make a good stallion or geld him and geld him fast. Thanks for any and all input. |
Photo is at a tough angle and bottom is cut off. However, I am seeing nothing that says he needs to stay intact. |
From the picture I would definitely say geld him. |
He isn't the worst ever, but I'd geld him. |
What breed of horse is he? |
He is a paint. The owner is a first time horse owner who knows nothing about horses and is getting schooled by another person who is by what I have seen is also clueless about breeding for pedigree, conformation and performance. |
Yeesh, her being a first time horse owner is reason enough to geld him. It's not a great picture, but from what I see it doesn't look like he's anything special anyway, at least not in the sense that he needs to reproduce. Do you know what his pedigree is? |
He has some good qualities and could have some potential, but he is way too young to make a stallion decision. If she insists on breeding, which doesn't sound very prudent quite yet from your description, she needs to wait and see how he matures and can determine what his abilities are... |
I'd say to get him gelded! He's far from exceptional, and he has a weak loin and back as well as a short neck that ties poorly in to an unremarkable chest. (: |

Longtime friends or something more? After coming out as a lesbian last month, Raven-Symone stepped out with her long-rumored girlfriend AzMarie Livingston at Ludacris' Labor Day charity event, LudaDay Weekend Celebrity Pool Party in Atlanta on Monday, Sept. 2.
The 27-year-old former Cosby Show actress posed for a cute picture with the America's Next Top Model alum. Raven-Symone, wearing a white dress, thick clear glasses and long braids in a bun on the top of her head, smiles and flashed the peace sign while leaning on Livingston's shoulder.
"Atl is poppin all weekend, chillin with #throwbackfriends #NewFriends loving Luda day weekend," the former Disney star tweeted on Aug. 31. "Just saw Luda too. pimp, it's goin down."
On Sept. 2, she added, "#Ludadayweekend #bestdaysever I don't know the words to describe my weekend . . . I MADE IT THRU! For the kids! #everyonewhoturnedup yesssss.."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's gay power couples
After tweeting on Aug. 2 that she could "finally get married," Raven-Symone released a statement through her reps confirming she is a lesbian - but has yet to actually exchange marital vows with anyone. "I am very happy that gay marriage is opening up around the country and is being accepted," she told CNN. "I was excited to hear today that more states legalized gay marriage. I, however am not currently getting married, but it is great to know I can now, should I wish to."
In May 2012, the That's So Raven star refused to confirm a report in the National Enquirer that she was dating and living with Livingston.
"I'm living my PERSONAL life the way I'm happiest. I'm not one, in my 25 year career to disclose who I'm dating," she wrote on Twitter. "And I shall not start now . . . My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I'm datings to know."
PHOTOS: TV's best gay and lesbian couples
Though she hasn't confirmed a relationship with Livingston, Raven-Symone did deny recent rumors that she was seeing singer Ari Lennox. "I'm not dating ari," she tweeted Aug. 17. "People need to stop coming to conclusions. Smh. So anyone I take a picture with I'm dating -- or having their baby."
