Dundee Hs fp18
Kelso were missing their captain Dom Buckley and the injured Gary Mulroy – who was hurt in the act of scoring at Riverside Park.
The game started with a bright and breezy passage of play where it seemed that both sides intended to move the ball around.
That was well and good until the first scrum was set after about 23 minutes. That was the start of the scourge of Scottish rugby. Scrums were reset; scrums were wheeled around; scrum put-ins were reversed after they went round 90 degrees and scrums were penalised.
Dundee conceded more than 20 penalties in the game, as they tried to destroy the Kelso pack by illegal means, despite having the dominant scrum.
The first points on the board went to Kelso when Andrew Skeen slotted a penalty after 7 minutes.
However, missed tackles on Dundee centre Tim McKavanagh allowed the visitors to take the lead after 12 minutes. The try was unconverted. Skeen regained the lead with another penalty after 12 minutes but that was short-lived.
Nick Alston was just short with a long-range penalty for Dundee, but the resultant pressure on the Kelso line saw Blair Cochrane appear on the wrong wing to go over. Duncan Leese converted.
Skeen pegged back the deficit with a couple of penalties. As the Taysiders took the penalty count into double figures, referee Gordon Corry's patience had been sorely tested and captain, Alan Brown, was shown a yellow card.
Just before the break, a hack through by Rocky Johnstone was followed up by Kev Wilson and Phil Hume, but nothing became of it and the teams were level at 12-all at the break.
The first chance of the second half fell to Kelso when Skeen took Kelso ahead with another penalty, but Leese countered with a couple of penalties to take Dundee ahead with just over 10 minutes to go.
Skeen brought Kelso level after another penalty against Dundee and Johnstone had the chance to put Kelso ahead with a long-range effort.
As the game headed for a draw, Dundee were given a gilt-edged chance after Kelso conceded a penalty in front of the posts about 35m out, but their luck was in as Leese missed the kick, with Kelso probably feeling the happier of the two sides on the day.
The game saw a few players injured and both Charlie Marshall and Liam Tait retired with knee problems, and Phil Hume looked in no little pain when he came off with a bad shoulder after a fine covering tackle.
z In last week's report, a try was credited to Kev Wilson, whereas it was Andrew Skeen who scored.
Apologies for the error..

A brief background
Working as administrative support for several years, I first knew I'd be interested in programming after teaching myself how to problem solve and manipulate Excel, via macros and VBA, to better customize the needs of my team. My interest in web development stemmed from the desire to create an extension of my Youtube channel, in the form of a website and/or app, but my curiosity didn't stop there. After attending many meetup groups and events I particularly fell in love with Ruby and its warm community, but I've enjoyed learning other languages and frameworks too! Because of this, I'm flexible with my preferences and will continue to use/learn whatever tools are best for the tasks at hand. Check out my resume!
I'm a highly-motivated individual, who enjoys giving back to the community in the forms of: blogging, public speaking, volunteering and mentoring. I'm the chapter co-leader for Girl Develop It San Diego, a previous intern of Qualcomm, and a Software Engineer at Verve.
Follow my journey, here!

Helen and Morgan Chu Endowed Director's Chair
UCLA alumni Morgan and Helen Chu have pledged $2 million to establish The Helen and Morgan Chu Endowed Director's Chair of the Asian American Studies Center.
This gift, the largest on record for ethnic studies at UCLA, will endow the Center directorship and provide funding towards the Center's research initiatives, programs, and areas of greatest need. The generosity of the Chus is a testament to their commitment that dates back to their days as students when they helped found the Center.
"We are honored to continue our support of the Asian American Studies Center," commented Helen and Morgan Chu, "and hope that our gift will build upon the excellence of ethnic studies at UCLA and further advance the impact of research and activities to the benefit of our society and world."
The Helen and Morgan Chu Endowed Director's Chair of the Asian American Studies Center is the third major gift from the Chus, extending their support, which includes an undergraduate student prize and the Morgan and Helen Chu Endowed Chair in Asian American Studies, a term chair currently occupied by Professor Robert Teranishi in the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies.
"The visionary philanthropy of Helen and Morgan Chu has been and continues to be foundational for the Center and for ethnic studies at UCLA," said Vice Provost David K. Yoo. "We are immensely grateful that this current gift builds on decades of their support that will help us for many years to come."
A leading intellectual property attorney, Morgan Chu is a recipient of the UCLA Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the university. He received a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from UCLA, a M.S.L. from Yale, and a J.D. from Harvard. He has been named one of the "Top Ten Trial Lawyers" in the nation. Helen Chu served for many years as an elementary school teacher and, with her husband, has been involved in numerous philanthropic endeavors.
The Asian American Studies Center, established in 1969, is one of four ethnic studies centers at UCLA that are housed in the Institute of American Cultures. As an organized research unit of the University of California, the Asian American Studies Center has nearly 60 faculty affiliates from across the entire university engaged in local, national, and international research programs that involve students and community-based partners. The latest Chu gift joins eleven other distinguished endowed professorships and endowed research programs at the Center.

Links to this site have been disabled for one or several reasons including: the site is no longer operating, many member complaints, bad billing practices, severe functional problems or a dispute with the site owner.
Twinks 777 is all about hot, amateur Euro-guys aged 18 to 25. These models have a fresh-faced European look to them, with soft, pouting lips and smooth, hairless chests, dark brown eyes and that slightly harder-edged appearance you associate with boys from Prague and other East or Central-European cities. There are some hot bod tanned guys showing muscles, some "butter wouldn't melt" cuties and some sweet-looking blond-haired babes. And then we have others who are more street-wise in appearance and more average in looks - the real amateurs who are at the heart of the site. There's a decent collection of amateur guys here, mainly white and youthful college-age models who mostly sport uncut cocks.
These ordinary but horny guys get up to all kinds of things in their videos. There is a leaning towards solo amateurs pissing in the movies with oodles of foreskin on show as the guys are caught peeing in their baths, on the beach or in public toilets. Then there are some standard solos in other movies and galleries, as well as some action scenes with two guys getting it on as naturally as possible in front of the camera, though there are not so many of these in the movies department. The videos are mainly made up of solo jerk-off scenes and pissing, with the picture galleries containing more sex sessions including threesome photo shoots, fucking, and blowjobs.
Twinks 777 has 66 videos in the members area. These are shown in streaming Flash at 600x480 with downloads only available after you have been a member for four months. That's a bit unusual and a bit of a tall order, especially as some of the videos are not great on quality. Try full-screen on some of these movies and you will find lots of pixelation. The filming and lighting are amateur, which makes the movies come across as home-shot amateur flicks, with real amateur guys appearing in them, so they kind of work well in that respect. They are, as far as we know, exclusive to the site, and they run for various lengths of time. Some vids are one minute in length, others are up to twenty five. These are unscripted, though in some cases the build-up to the "action" takes up most of the runtime and then the action is fairly tame.
The dates for the four latest updates are shown on the tour, and these show four updates were added in the past week. Then there's the "Future" page in the members area which shows what's coming soon. The dates there indicate a new video is lined up each week for two weeks in advance; there is no other information about the movies, although some basic titles also act as descriptions: Pissing in the bath, Playing cards and sex, Water Masturbation, and so on.
Twinks 777 also offers 137 photo sets. These are sized at 1350x660 and are decent amateur quality, and each picture opens in a new window. That's not the easiest way to browse large sets, but you do get to see the images at a fairly decent size and you can download them one at a time. There is plenty of variety in the image galleries with solos, pissing, and action depicted. We are told these are exclusive galleries, and though I found some of the models rang bells, I may have seen them in the owner's other sites. There are no slideshows, navigation tools, or zip file downloads. There are various numbers of photos per set, some having only 25 pics while others have around 200.
There are no real bonuses or extras, although there is a model index. This lets you browse face pics for 111 guys, and when clicked these lead to a list of each model's videos or galleries, but there are no profiles, stats or other info. You will find a link to "Exclusives" that opens a new tab to a video store where the guys behind the site sell their scenes from their other sites. There are scenes here from Jeans Fetish Porn, for example, and these scenes and clips are priced from $2.99 to over $36.00, so this is not actually a bonus.
Although I didn't have any technical issues with the site, I did find a few oddments. Movies and galleries open up on the listing pages, with the rest of the content listings showing beneath. This actually makes it easy to open one piece of content after the other, but it also means there are no interactive options like rates or comments and there is no scene descriptions. As we've seen, viewing galleries is a bit slow and cumbersome, and there are no downloads for movies until you have been a member for four months. During that time you should get some updates to keep you going but there are no bonus sites or feeds to view while you wait. The site has a pretty old-fashioned and amateur look to it, and there's no information about the models or the videos.
One other oddity is that on the join page the trial is listed as being only 10 minutes long. When you go to the billing page, however, it says the trial gives one day access. If the trial really is 10 minutes, it's probably the shortest trial period ever, with hardly enough time to cancel should you want to. The trial recurs at the regular monthly rate, so you're better off going straight for the monthly deal anyway; it's a reasonable price for what you get in return, and you won't have to wonder whether you have only 10 minutes to browse.
Twinks 777 is a strange beast; it's amateur in style, look and content, quality ranges from "a bit rough" to "decent enough," and the site is easy to use. The guys are 18- to 25-year-old Europeans and sexy enough - there's a leaning towards pissing and uncut cocks, yet with some neat solos and some natural, though rather slow, action scenes. But it's not interactive or up-to-date, you have to be a member for four months before you can save any videos, and there's a potentially ridiculously short trial period sign-up which offers more of a race against time than a good look round. And yet there's something alluring about the guys and the action, so if you're up for some average 18-to 25-year-old, amateur, Euro boys, then this site may be a good pool of porn to dip your toe in.

As floodwaters in the Delta recede, Mississippi State University experts are helping producers make wise decisions about cropland management.
Agronomic crops personnel with the MSU Extension Service and Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment station have developed a publication on late-season planting and crop management. The publication, titled After the Flood: Row Crop Replanting, also includes post-flood crop insurance information.
The publication covers disease and pest management topics for corn, soybean, rice, cotton and grain sorghum farmers. Also included is information on post-flood soil fertility, residue management and herbicide carryover.
"The agronomic crops and research personnel involved in developing this publication have a strong working knowledge of the issues farmers will be facing as they replant," said Joe Street, MSU's state program leader of agriculture. "With floodwaters covering an estimated 185,000 acres of row cropland, farmers in the flooded region are going to be dealing with issues for quite some time. We'll continue to get them timely information to help make their decision-making process less stressful."
The publication can be downloaded at http://msucares.com/pubs/publications/p2680.pdf.

Do you ever wonder how photographers get those beautiful photographs of newborns, they call them newborn art. Here are a few examples:
These are all pictures I have shot with newborns recently. Here is what you will need:
Disclaimer: These pics for the tutorial were taken w/ my point and shoot because I was too lazy to use my SLR. You will notice they are slightly blurry as they were underexposed on this less than lovely grey day.
SLR camera- I use a Canon 5D- and I am not going to claim that someone with a point and shoot won't be able to do this as well- just a SLR gives you more control over your settings.
Boppy pillow (if you don't have one of these- use a rolled up towel or blanket)
Backdrop stand (or use two chairs or tape your background to the wall, whatever works, right?)
Backdrops- I highly recommend 3-4 backdrops. Babies when naked will often surprise you :)
I use fleece for my black background and blankets for light colors. It is all the rage now to use textured blankets, especially the bobble throw. Be creative, I have seen people use curtains, sheets, shower curtains, and comforters.
Puppy piddle pads (wonderful under your backdrop to catch those little surprises so it doesn't get on your beanbag or boppy)
Space Heater- babies love it warm, especially if you are going to get them undressed.
Accessories (hats, tutus, other prop kinda things)
PATIENCE- #1 necessary tool you are going to need.
This is the note I always send the parents before the session: (or some variation, it is never the same)
Newborn sessions should ideally take place in the first 11 days of life, this makes them more likely to sleep and more flexible to posing. However don't stress if it doesn't happen. Please turn the temperature up in your home by one or two degrees, at least 1 hr before I arrive. I suggest feeding baby 30 min-1 hr beforehand as well. Loosen baby's diaper so that we don't have red crease marks. What to expect: Your session will last 2-4 hrs in length. Ideally baby will be asleep, but if not I love open eye pictures too. Be patient, and don't worry about me. This is all about baby, so if baby wants to eat, or have a cuddle, that is just fine. I don't want you to feel like you need to hurry baby's eating so we can get back to taking pics. And don't stress if baby poops or pees on the backdrop- or your hands. It won't be the first or last time. Daddies tend to be impatient with the whole process so if you want pictures of baby w/ daddy, we should either do those first or last.
So lets get started:
Setting up the baby nest
I use natural light whenever possible. I try to find the biggest window available and place my backdrop at a 45 degree angle whenever I can. Place your beanbag in front of your backdrop (but not on top of, because your backdrop is going over the beanbag). Place the boppy pillow (or rolled up towel) on top of the beanbag. Which direction you turn the boppy pillow depends on the type of shot you are going for. If you want baby's head on hands then turn the curve of the boppy forward, if you want back wrinkles (so cute!) then turn it with the open part of the boppy toward you. (see pics below)
Put your backdrop over the boppy/beanbag combo, smooth out the wrinkles in the background as well as over the boppy. If you don't do this step you will have to do some major cloning of the background in my final pic. If you are going to use the piddle pad, you will want to put this in place before putting the backdrop over it.
Make a little indention into the center of the boppy. This is your "nest"
At this point, I turn on the heater on low and ask mommy to undress baby to his/her diaper. I settle baby into the nest, face up and put a blanket over baby. Let baby settle. In my experience babies are usually asleep when put down, so while baby is settling, I will test the light, set my white balance, and exposure. Take a couple of test shots, and chimp for all your worth :) It is better than a underexposed or overexposed mess when you get home. If you check your histogram, you can see if you are blowing out in any specific areas.
Begin your shoot by removing the blanket and shooting a few pictures of baby facing up- this is usually a profile shot (you should be sitting or squatting at baby's level. Be careful of your angle- you do not want to shoot up the nose, not an attractive pictures! Turn baby on his/her side and let settle. Shoot a few more and then slowly take baby's diaper off. Allow to settle (are you sensing a theme?) This is why you need the heater. Babies this young cannot regulate their own temperatures. The heater will keep them nice and comfortable. I keep a running dialogue with the baby, it seems to soothe them, at least it has worked for me. We discuss about keeping boy or girl bits covered with their feet, and I will cross their ankles, usually over the specified bits. At this point you can slowly and carefully turn baby onto his/her tummy. I will start out with their legs curled underneath them and then sometimes straighten them a little to bring their toes up by their chin (see below)
This pose should not be done with babies who are older than 2 weeks as they are less flexible.
Next, I usually try to get some variation of baby's head on hands or arms pose:This is an ideal time to get out your hats. They are all the rage now, and really emphasize how small baby is. I love the square hats with the tassels on the corners, and the helmets.
At this point, right after the chin on hand pics, my babies usually wake up. This is a challenging pose for them, and for you to get them in because they don't have the ability to hold their head up. I am extremely slow and careful about putting their hands in position, and making sure their head is supported so they don't tumble sideways. If you are concerned or the parents are, don't try it. Like I said though, they usually wake up about this time. This is a great time for baby snack and cuddle time, and for you to check your pictures and make sure that your lighting is looking okay. It is also a good time to change out backdrops or move on to your next move, whether it might be on a large piece of furniture that showcases how small baby is:Or setting up a basket to put them in. The tall twig basket from Hobby Lobby has been very popular with the long fringe blankets. I never could find either the throw or the basket so I don't have any of those in the repetoire.
Did I already mention back wrinkle shots and how cute they are? Check them out:
In Part two, we are going to examine loving contact: newborns with their parents shots. I showed a peek at a connection when showing the pic of baby in daddy's hands (above) but I want to take a closer look so you can start to develop the skill.

Helen Alexander, the president of the Confederation of British Industry, today publicly ruled herself out of the running to become the next chair of the BBC Trust.
Alexander had been considered by many industry observers to be a prime candidate for the role. Prior to being appointed the first female president of the CBI she spent 23 years at the Economist Group, rising to the position of chief executive.
"I am not and never have been a candidate for this role," Alexander said in a statement provided to MediaGuardian.co.uk today, following a weekend newspaper report suggesting she was in the running.
Today's statement reinforced what sources told MediaGuardian.co.uk last week.
Industry insiders expect Roger Parry, the chairman of YouGov; Richard Hooper, a former regulator at Ofcom who narrowly missed out on the job last time; and BBC trustees Dame Patricia Hodgson and Anthony Fry to have submitted formal applications to takeover from Sir Michael Lyons.
The Department of Culture Media and Sport's deadline for applications from what is expected to be a broad field of candidates closed at 5pm on Friday.
Interviews with shortlisted candidates will take place on 27 and 28 January, with an appointment due to be announced in the spring; the successful candidate will be in place by April next year for a short handover period before Lyons leaves in May.
A number of corporate bosses whose names have been touted – including Marks & Spencer chairman Sir Stuart Rose and Pearson chief executive Dame Marjorie Scardino – have ruled themselves out. Richard Eyre, who was briefly chairman of GCap Media, and Peter Bazalgette, the former chief creative officer of Endemol, also ruled themselves out of the running.
The new chair of the BBC Trust will be appointed for a four-year term and receive an annual salary of £110,000 for working between 12 and 16 days a month – £21,000 less than Lyons is paid.
It is thought that Dom Loehnis, a senior headhunter at recruitment company Egon Zehnder, has been hired to assist in the search for suitable candidates. Loehnis is an old Etonian and a friend of David Cameron.
After the four-strong DCMS appointments panel has gone through its selection process the culture secretary, Jeremy Hunt, will recommend one candidate – or possibly two – to the prime minister, who will make the final decision on who gets the job, although technically it is the Queen who make the appointment.

Edward Samson topped the podium at the recent Winchester Criterium & Cycle Fest.
The Solent Pirates talent was incorrectly reported as third in the under-eight boys' race on the city's streets.
Instead, Samson actually took the win – making it a dream debut.
The event was a huge success for the Pirates, whose riders hail from the south coast of Hampshire and West Sussex.
Daisy Pattinson was a brilliant third in the girls' under-10 race.
Amy Perryman also made the podium in the under-14 girls' contest, while Kara Perryman just missed out as she finished fourth in the under-16 girls' category.

In Tok Pisin (the pidgin English of Papua New Guinea), a masalai one of the following:
Masalais "were normally regarded as erratic, dangerous, and amoral creatures, worthy of fear but not respect. This complex of attitudes may help to explain how people who set great store by the observation of animal behaviour, from a combination of utilitarian and spiritual motives, can sometime exhibit what seems, to Western sensibilities at least, a wanton disregard for the well-being of these same animals, both as species and as individuals. It may also help to explain how villagers who fully understand the relationship between forest fallows and soil fertility are nevertheless prepared to sell their timber rights and permit the desecration of their 'sacred sites' for a relative pittance. Instead of inheriting a state of mystical harmony with their natural environment, landowners may well be accustomed to regard it, at least in certain contexts, as a source or form of evil power, especially if there is now a way to turn it into money and thus 'sacrifice' it to the spirit of 'development.'" (Sekhran & Miller, 1995: 192)
The non-anthropomorphic masalais are typically spirits associated with rivers, rocks, trees, caves, and other parts of the physical environment. These masalais are typically found far from settlements, in forests or in rugged terrain. Village-dwelling Papua New Guineans frequently have ambivalent feelings about uninhabited areas. These are places of danger, where one can fall ill or become ambushed by enemies. These are also places full of bounty, sources of wild game, fruits, nuts, vines for ropes, medicines, and housing materials. Due to the introduction of foreign, unsustainable log extraction, deforestation in PNG has in recent years increased to an degree unprecedented (Barry, 1995) since at least the time of the sweet potato expansion into the Highlands about 400 years ago (Gagné, 1982: 248). As an example, the Wola (a.k.a. Mendi) People of the Southern Highlands Province, who are surrounded by vast stretches of rainforest, have an ambiguous or paradoxical relationship with their environment (Sillitoe, 1993: 221, 230). Their forest is populated by an array of demons, and they generally interpret forest clearing positively since it deprives the demons of homelands. Yet, the Wola would think of the complete destruction of their forests as "horrendous" (Sillitoe, 1993: 230), at least in part because it would represent the elimination of a whole set of resources on which they depend and of which they are intimately aware (e.g., see Diamond, 1993).
Local languages are also tied intimately with forest spirits, and the reduced usage of one small Papua New Guinean language (Taiap) has been associated with the corresponding disappearance of masalais: "And when Taiap has lost the ability to symbolize the land, it will have lost the final affirmative value that it retains in the community. Seeing the land in a new light has already had one sociolinguistic consequenc -- it has resulted in the villagers' being abandoned by most of the Taiap-speaking masalai and other spirits of the forest who used to make their homes on Gapun land. Older men sometimes wonder quizzically where these spirits have gone: They no longer encounter them or their tracks when they travel through the rainforest to hunt or work sago. The spirits must be 'hiding,' the men conclude, clearing off the land in deference to the white man, who has come to Papua New Guinea to 'change' it." (Kulick, 1992: 265).

We are delighted to announce the first solo exhibition of Haitian artist Manuel Mathieu at our gallery.
Mathieu is known as an interdisciplinary artist, but is always drawn back to his paintbrushes. This young artist creates cerebral, stylized paintings that are at once highly personal and provocative, yet at the same time slightly unnerving in their intimacy. He often invokes his native country's political history as a springboard: Mathieu was born in the year that the Haitian uprising brought the Duvalier era to an end, and he is named after the protagonist in Jacques Roumain's 1941 Haitian classic novel Gouverneurs de la rosée, or Master of the Dew...

My mother had a colonoscopy in 2015 that came back clean and a follow up letter from the doctor stated to not schedule another for 5-7 years. In late March she went into the hospital for a possible blood clot where they scanned her chest, found some spots by accident, then proceeded to find she had stage IV colon cancer that was so advanced that she only had a few days left. She passed the first week of April.
I've read the recommendations for colonoscopy intervals if one comes back clean and know they vary depending on family history, what is found in the first one, etc. Out of curiosity, would a letter from a doctor stating to not schedule another colonoscopy for 5-7 years be grounds for a possible malpractice suit when the patient dies 2 1/2 years later? It all feels so unfair.


text: DigitalNon-News is News of the Day on TwitterHas Twitter's real-time newswire led to an over dissection of information, regardless of how irrelevant?By Christie Barakat|January 26, 2014ShareBy Christie Barakat|January 26, 2014ShareHas social media become little more than standing on a collective soapbox? New York Times blogger Jenna Wortham seems to think so, particularly when it comes to Twitter.In Wortham's experience, the number of followers one has on Twitter is less important than getting noticed by retweets and favorites, especially by well-known people. In the race to be recognized, being in the now takes precedence over being in the know, and Twitter is overrun with non-news items such as the arrest of Justin Bieber.Wortham says:Twitter is starting to feel calcified, slowed down by the weight of its own users, cumbersome, less exciting than exhausting. It may be why less public forms of communication — messaging applications like Snapchat, GroupMe, Instagram Direct and even old-fashioned email threads and Google groups — are playing a bigger and bigger role in the most meaningful interactions during my day online.How far can clever one-liners take a person, whether written in the form of a tweet, Facebook post or the like? Wortham points to "landing a fleeting spot on a round up at BuzzFeed or The Huffington Post."Has Twitter's real-time newswire led to an over dissection of information, regardless of how irrelevant, by people only looking for attention? Are users so caught up in a need to be validated that the "conversation" has become stilted and one-sided?Let us know in the comments if you believe less public modes of communication like messaging apps and email offer the most meaningful interactions.Read the full post by Wortham on The Times' Bits Blog.

Maureen Dowd, reigning queen of one-liners
Reprinted in full by Tennessee Guerilla Women, Maureen Dowd's latest column, "Hot Monkey Love," is packed with sizzling one-liners: But this time, [President Bush] may want to think twice before strapping on a Texas-shaped belt buckle. W. might inadvertently conjure up images of Bushback Mountain. The High Plains, one of the few remaining arenas where men were men, may now evoke something more ambiguous, like men with men. After "Brokeback Mountain," pitching that pup tent on the prairie will never seem the same. Can a culture built on laconic cowboys like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood survive one rough-hewn cowboy crooning to another, as Jake Gyllenhaal's Jack Twist tells Heath Ledger's Ennis Del Mar, "Sometimes I miss you so much, I can hardly stand it," and, "I wish I knew how to quit you"?
*snip*Everything will have to be re-evaluated. "High Plains Drifter" now sounds like a guy who might get arrested in a bus station bathroom. And audiences may be ready for "The Good, the Bad and the Bad Hair Day."
*snip*Hollywood is busy sensitizing - and emotionally layering - archetypal macho guys, including our most famous alpha male. He's still strong and decisive. His back's as hairy as ever*. But it's just not the same Kong. This lovable overgrown monkey is more like the brooding, wounded and steadfast romantic heroes Heathcliff and Rick Blaine. Like Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy, Peter Jackson's big ape goes for gals with spunk. He likes babes who juggle more than jiggle. This gorilla doesn't go around tossing "gorilla dust," as Ross Perot used to call it, just to get into another alpha's space. He doesn't look for a T. Rex simply to rip its jaws apart - he only protects his loved ones. He'd rather hang out on his mountain, enjoying the sunset and watching his gal juggle and do pratfalls. And much, much more. D. *Maybe I have a chance as a romantic lead after all. Technorati tags: Maureen Dowd Bush Gay King Kong Dubya Dowd Brokeback Mountain

Your heart skips a beat. You wonder at the possibility. You begin to dream. You begin to soar. Just as soon as you started to soar, you feel the tug. Fear checks in. You assess the reality around you. And then take stock of the impossibility. You dig your heel harder into the firm ground of reality.
It is better to be pleasantly surprised than to be disappointed.

Again. What is it about Chelsea and the world's best footballer? For an eighth time, Messi failed to score against them, twice striking the frame of that goal on which the angel apparently perched.
Add to that a yellow card, an angry reaction to Frank Lampard's challenge on Cesc Fabregas — a flash of temper for a second successive match given his reaction in El Clasico last Saturday — and even the fact that it was Messi who had lost possession in the first leg to eventually allow Didier Drogba to score.
It is some strange mix for the Argentinean who has now gone an astonishing, for him, four hours and 48 minutes without a goal. It appears a lifetime given the freedom, the joy with how he has scored so prodigiously and innovatively throughout this campaign in particular.
What was almost as puzzling last night was how belief seemed to drain from Messi once he missed that penalty. It just didn't look like he felt it could happened for him; that his powers were diminished.
He seemed to epitomize the anxiety and even though he forced Petr Cech into tipping a shot against a post his influence just wasn't there.
Critics will claim that it was a show of fallibility, that those who believe he is the greatest player of all-time are simply wrong, or premature, but this is a game, a sport, after all and it simply doesn't always go your way.
It's how Messi and Barcelona react now to this adversity and the unreal reality that they have surrendered the Spanish league and Champions League within four days that matters.
How quickly things can unravel. The Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola appeared on edge on the eve of this encounter and now, perhaps, his career at the club is on a knife-edge. Barcelona didn't lose last night, but it felt like a defeat.
They have also not lost three games in a row since February 2003 - and never under Guardiola - but there's a more vital statistic.
Another sign. Guardiola has faced 52 different teams since succeeding Frank Rijkaard in Chelsea are the only one he has not beaten, although a scoring draw at Stamford Bridge in 2009 was enough to eliminate them.
There's a bigger picture for Guardiola who looks weary and, pre-match, was certainly irritable, launching into an angry defence of his team selection that faced Real Madrid.
He even used the F-word, and there was a visible intake from his media audience, in response to criticism. "The media have been killing him for the last few days," said one source close to Guardiola before the game.
It was a cryptic response and seemed to be one that would be emphatically answered in that first-half last night in which Guardiola sent out a statement of intent with his line-up.
He could not have been bolder. It was even more attacking than usual with just three defenders and a bewildering number of potential combinations further forward with Alexis Sanchez, kind of, the main striker and Messi slotting in behind him.
For a team running "low on fuel", as one critic put it, this was high-octane stuff. Everyone expected the Barcelona backlash and here it was in its full, multi-layered and, also, ultimately flawed glory.
They didn't so much dominate possession as completely monopolise it — and was before John Terry's dismissal.
There was no need for Opta stats or Prozone on this one. Chelsea defended the deepest line possible and invited the worst.
Everyone knew Barcelona would dominate — after all they have done in their previous 243 matches stretching over four years — and Chelsea were sure to let them have the ball again. They had little choice.
The current state of anxiety is curious for outsiders. Here, after all, is a team close to perfection who had progressed relatively serenely to this stage of the competition.
Their goals on Tuesday night were, of course, superbly executed, the second, in particular, owing everything to the weight of Messi's pass and the angle of Andres Iniesta's shot but that was it.
For all the intricacy of Barcelona's play, the pattern isn't quite right at present. It's still beautiful but imperfect. Maybe it's simply a matter of re-calibration, such are the fine margins within which they work, but it's askew.
There was a strange, incredible vulnerability — summed up by the pre-match mood and also the nature of Ramires's finely taken, but poorly conceded goal, Fernando Torres' second, the host of missed chances and, above all, the increasingly agitated, forlorn Messi.
"My admiration for Messi knows no limits," Guardiola said afterwards. "He's an example for all of us, dragging all of us to be better and help him be himself.
"I've no doubt he'll experience a few bad hours now because we know how competitive he is, but this is what's beautiful about this game.
Sometimes you smile. Other times, it's your turn to be sad."

The Threshold Effect
Peter Beal is a long-time climber and writer, more of his internet musing can be read on his blog, Mountainsandwater.com. [Photo] Alan James
What kinds of thresholds are at work in climbing and how can we reach them? For example, common sense would indicate that there are probably responses to types of visual or other stimuli that can radically aid or hinder the act of climbing but which can be rapidly overridden mentally. As a specific instance, consider that beginning climbers are notorious for perceiving sections of rock as "blank." Was it the case that climbers of an earlier era were much more inclined to accept the overall concept of blank or impossible rock than most climbers would be today? It's not only the actual achievements of harder climbs that have changed this perception. The game changes again when climbers who have repeatedly seen 5.15 or V15 in online climbing videos then go out and try routes.
Consider also the limiting aspects of grades. Although they seek to give an objective frame of reference to climbs, they also distort our perceptions of them. By setting up categories, they artificially create barriers, fictitious frontiers of a sort. Whether alpine ED or YDS 5.14, we all have a response to the presence of these signs of, well what exactly? It is highly unlikely that any two climbers experience a climb the same way. The feelings and emotions that are an essential human part of climbing are persistently changing and adapting both to the climb and to reactions of others. What would happen if we altered our attitudes toward them, working with grades positively instead of as exclusionary? How many times as climbers have we responded positively to others' positive emotional states and acted with more confidence, reducing the perception of difficulty.
It seems clear that certain kinds of climbs and climbers are more effective at changing perceptions of difficulty. One of the contributions of a Chris Sharma or an Ueli Steck is to put a friendly face on the seemingly impossible, to create the impression that this kind of climbing is accessible to everyone if they can make the commitment to try harder. Older attitudes of elitism and arrogance towards outsiders helped limit progress across the climbing world by restricting access to information and creating the impression of superhuman ability on the part of top performers. The legends of the past cultivated auras of exclusivity and superiority, whether in Chamonix or Camp 4. In particular, with the push for media exposure, more climbers are able to see the best in action than ever before and make up their own minds. Better protected routes have certainly changed the attitude towards all kinds of climbing. In Great Britain, scary E8 or E9 routes have become commonplace because of the emergence of sport climbing and the fitness and technique training it allows. Alpinists find local dry-tooling spots that force a revision of what is possible with crampons and axes. And all along the numbers of people practicing the sport increases and the conversations among them foster a sense of belief and solidarity, not isolation and privilege. The articles and essays about the stagnant Yosemite scene in the mid-80s and 1990s, a time of incredible change and progress in climbing elsewhere, illustrate the point.
I think that this topic deserves closer study as research may reveal that the most important factor for advancing technique and ability is not gear or training but something much less tangible and much more subjective, that is the relationships climbers have with each other within a larger community. I wonder if the more aware we all are of these relationships and how we can contribute to helping all of us become better climbers, we may become more sensitive about caring for the natural environment and becoming better activists on its behalf. Instead of being preoccupied by battling imaginary opponents or overcoming primarily psychological limits through brute force, we listen more carefully to the complex realities of the act of climbing.

pete maravich did things in basketball that no one had ever seen before, now I see school kids doing them! my first day on a rock was a 5.8/5.9 100' success. becouse I am a natural? no, becouse my climbing partner treated it as basic, and coached me through the rough spots. after that, I have never looked at a vertical face with fear or intimidation. big ones are awe inspiring, but I BELEIVE I can get it done. what we learn first we keep forever. set the bar high in the beginning, and we remove limitations. teach em young and show them the hard stuff!
Wilkey T
Umm I've got to call Bullsh*t on Healyje. "Commercially driven hero worship" is nothing new. Messner was/is the king of commercialism, he owns what 3 castles?!?
"Older attitudes of elitism and arrogance towards outsiders helped limit progress across the climbing world by restricting access to information and creating the impression of superhuman ability on the part of top performers"
Have to bullsh*t on this comment and point out it's today's injection of commercially-driven hero-worship that creates the impression superhuman ability is required to climb well.
The Threshold effect is most obvious in a sport like climbing but it is everywhere including the natural world. There are a lot of theories as to the origin of this well known effect and it may well be a fundamental aspect of the cosmos perhaps linked to the vary passage of time, dark matter Shrodingers cat and all that. The idea of a collective consciousness gives a tidy explanation for it and experiments testing this theory have had positive results but in the current state of cosmology, ideas of a collective consciousness are an article of faith. To me what is important is the influence of individuals and small groups to dramatically change the landscape and the stifling effect of elitism. Walter Bonatti was bared, by the climbing establishment, from attempting an alpine style climb of K2 back in the 30. Where would we be today if he had succeeded? Small groups can incubate innovation. If you are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time you can change the game for everyone who comes after you.

Visit Irathane Systems A Division of Iracore International, Inc.
Iracore International Inc., based in Hibbing, MN, produces the Iracore lined pipe system for oil sand slurry transport and tailings disposal. Over the course of more than 50 years, we have built a worldwide reputation for lining pipe to protect against abrasion and corrosion in the most challenging conditions.
After our founding in 1957, we quickly established ourselves as an innovator in the use of rubber to line pipe. We soon began focusing on developing more advanced internal pipe coatings and techniques for applying them. Early in our company's history, we assembled a talented team of chemists, engineers, technicians and consultants to design a urethane-based compound expressly for lining pipe. The result: Iracore International became one of the first companies to produce urethane lined pipe more than four decades ago.
Over the years, Iracore International has manufactured more than 2 million linear feet of elastomer lined pipe while maintaining an exceptional reliability record. Our uptime rate stands at more than 99.99% for the past 40 years, and we have had no major warranty claims. For decades, our pipeline systems have consistently delivered outstanding service in demanding applications—particularly slurry transport.
We drew upon this extensive experience when we developed the Iracore compound, a pipe lining material designed specifically to withstand the rigors of the Canadian oil sands. In this harsh environment, nothing outperforms Iracore—the hydrotransport pipe system of choice for some of the Athabasca region's largest oil producers.

Data and Safety Monitoring Board
We offer protocol monitoring services to UNC Investigators in need of an additional layer of oversight.
The NC TraCS Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) was established to address the needs of local, investigator initiated studies requiring a DSMB. We function as a committee within the UNC School of Medicine. Our charge is to review clinical trials to assure patient safety both by evaluating adverse events and by performing interim analysis of both safety and efficacy.
In general, we will review data from phase III or other trials posing significant risk to subjects. The following types of trials may be reviewed:
- Phase I, I/II, II, and II/III trials when such review is deemed necessary by the UNC IRB and the Principal Investigator
- Phase III and IV clinical trials (single site trials where the PI is a UNC faculty member and for which UNC is the sponsor)
- Select multi-center clinical trials in which UNC is the coordinating center IF the DSMB determines that it has adequate resources to conduct the monitoring required of the study
Please note: the DSMB will set data monitoring and reporting requirements before study enrollment begins and can not provide oversight for studies that have already begun to enroll subjects.
Point of Contact: Amanda Wood
Program Chair: Ross Simpson, MD, PhD
More Information
Meeting Dates and Submission Deadlines
Investigators with commercially or governmentally sponsored trials will normally work with their Sponsor's DSMB. The NC TraCS DSMB is not to be seen or act as surrogate, or substitution, for a Sponsor's responsibility to provide a DSMB when required. Sponsors are to be held to their obligation to provide the relevant oversight as outlined in FDA and NIH policies as applicable.

See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge
The "good" and "reliable" remailers are the ones that work for you and have the feature set you need or want. The "secure" remailers are the ones operated by those who do not monitor the traffic passing through them AND have good security policies in place on their networks and machinery to prevent their remailer from being penetrated by unauthorized parties and subsequently compromised. Since you can never know for yourself how "secure" any one individual remailer is, you should always use encrypted chains of remailers (see #4.3) to send your messages. So long as all the remailers in your chain have not been compromised or their operators are not cooperating amongst themselves, then your traffic will be reasonably secure. Advanced topics relating to traffic analysis of the remailer network that may allow adversaries to deduce the source and destination of individual messages is, for now, beyond the scope of this FAQ. However, it is almost certain that these activities do take place to some degree. It is for this reason that you we have advanced remailer protocols such as Mixmaster, and proposals for other up-and-coming network scenarios (like WOF <http://www.bigfoot.com/~potatoware/wof/>, RadioClash <http://piratech.net/radioclash/>, Publius <http://www.cs.nyu.edu/~waldman/publius/>, Freenet <http://freenet.sourceforge.net/>) to reduce the effectiveness of traffic analysis.

Versatility of Mind & Matter
Identity - Brand Manual
Gypsum Gallery is a contemporary art gallery established in Cairo in late 2013. The gallery is committed to presenting an international, cross-disciplinary program of solo and occasional group exhibitions, limited artist editions and is in the process of launching a publishing arm of its own. We were approached in order to create a brand identity for this platform, one that can clearly communicate unparalleled passion for art.
In a field that is based on art and creativity, we rose up to the challenge by creating an equally innovative brand that acts as the mold through which all art forms emerge. This is communicated through the name, Gypsum, which reflects the idea that the material is affordable yet can be shaped into anything, showing that the content is what truly counts rather than the initial value. As for the identity, we opted for an identity that is contemporary, dynamic and engaging – which constitute the values that form a distinguished contemporary art gallery.

Portland's CashStar acquired for $175M
Originally published by Maine Startups Insider on August 30, 2017.
CashStar, the Portland-based tech company that was a pioneer in the digital gift card space, has been acquired by Calif.-based Blackhawk Network for $175 million.
The all-cash deal means CashStar will be folded into a global player in the digital gift card and payment industries. Blackhawk is publicly traded (NASDAQ:HAWK) and has roughly 3,500 employees. It posted $1.9 billion in annual operating revenues in 2016.
CashStar was founded in 2007 by David Stone (now CEO of local startup Forager) and Steven Boal, who founded Calif.-based Coupons.com, to provide digital gift card solutions to retailers. Its clients have included a who's who in the retail and food-service industries, from Starbucks to Best Buy to Banana Republic to Office Depot.
The acquisition is not expected to affect CashStar's local operations, according to CEO Ben Kaplan. It currently has two offices in Portland (one in the Old Port and another on Congress Street near the Maine College of Art) and another in Waltham, Mass. It has 175 employees, 155 of which are based in Portland. Kaplan said the two businesses are complimentary (more on that later) and there's not much overlap among the workforces that would need to be settled during a consolidation.
He stressed that the acquisition is good news for CashStar's investors, employees, and the Maine startup community.
"This is a great proof point and a great reflection on the tech community in Maine," Kaplan said. "It's important to note the value of what they're acquiring is based in Maine. The intellectual property, the engineers, the client teams…all of it is in Maine, and staying in Maine and we're excited about that."

- Get a discount at my family owned Green's Ace Hardware store.
- Let me make a referral contact for you when buying outside the area.
Direct line: 781-710-9744 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
For Sale By Owner
- Homeowners believe if they sell their own home they will save the Broker commission.
- Data from the National Association of Realtors, has shown that FSBO sellers typically sell for less than what the property is worth in their market.
- With a Listing Agent they would likely net more on the sale, well in excess of commission costs paid to the Broker.
- Industry regulations, disclosures and mandatory paperwork have increased dramatically making the process of buying and selling a home more difficult.
- Finding a Buyer is another challenge for a FSBO. A Buyer is likely to pass over a FSBO to avoid paying their agent a commission.
- FSBOs typically have to field telephone calls, show the house, complete all legal documents, and negotiate the deal on their own.
- It's no wonder that the percentage of Seller's selling their own homes on their own has shrunk to only 8% of Sellers and many will seek a Broker's help to sell their home within a short period of time.

One of my sisters sent me this recipe for black beans and it is SO quick, easy and delicious it's definitely a keeper.
Works great as a side dish on its own or over some brown rice. For the full recipe – World Famous Black Beans
Simple (and handy) ingredients like onion, canned black beans, tomato paste, chicken (or vegetable) broth, and a few spices combine in a quick cooking dish that's really flavorful!
Couple of notes:
– the recipe as is doesn't make a ton, so if you try it and like it, doubling may be a good idea, or maybe that's just me since I like dishes that make leftovers 🙂
– the lime is "optional" but I've made it with and without….definitely like it better with lime, and I added a little lime zest too
– I've added spinach and really liked it, just cut back on the broth a little (I just added maybe 1/2 to 1 cup of frozen Trader Joe's spinach)
– the picture above isn't the greatest and it's during cooking so it does thicken up more than what's shown!

It happens every four years and it's one of those things property owners dread-- reassessment. And, for those whose property has been re-valued by the tax assessor, it usually means an increase in the property tax bill at the end of the year.
If you are one of those people whose property was reassessed this year, you probably have received a little white card in the mail notifying you of the change in your property value.
This year may mean double disappointment for some seniors whose property value, for tax purposes, was frozen in the past.
The law says seniors must provide proof of income to show they do not earn more than a certain amount which is just under $68,000 this year.
It's been more than ten years since a constitutional amendment allowing property values to be frozen for those sixty five and older. In the past, in Calcasieu, seniors had only to show their ID to verify their age. But it turns out they should also have been verifying income to make sure those given the tax break don't make too much money to qualify. "We're in the process of auditing those freezes because there was a point in time when we did not verify the income," said Calcasieu Assessor Wendy Curphy Aguillard.
Aguillard says they are verifying that those whose property values are frozen meet the income limit which, this year, is just under $68-000. "The previous administration chose not to look at the income limit. I 'm choosing to follow the law and make sure that everyone is doing what they're supposed to be doing in our office. And we're going to follow the law and check the income limit," said Aguillard.
As well, an estimated 62,000 property owners are getting cards in the mail notifying them their property has gone up in value and that they may get a bigger tax bill at the end of the year. "We're required by law to assess property as close to fair market value as possible. So, that's why everyone is getting a little postcard. We're making them aware of what their new assessed values are," said Aguillard.
She explains they won't know exactly how much an individual's taxes will be until taxing bodies finalize the tax millages for the year. "The millages that are on there that show tax dollars are going to be based on last year's millages. WE don't, have not received the millages yet for the individual taxing districts to correct the millages for this year," said Aguillard.
And if someone thinks the assessor's office got it wrong, there's a process to appeal.
Generally those who pay no taxes because they are completely exempt don't get the cards. Property taxes are due at the end of the year.
To see what your estimated taxes will be at the end of the year log onto the Calcasieu Assessor's web site. Or call the assessor's office at 337-721-3000
To get more information on related topics such as applying for a freeze on your property value if you qualify, check out the Louisiana Tax Commission site.
Those who cannot resolve a value dispute on their reassessment have two weeks in August during when they can lodge an official protest.

The only people cheering Friday's Nobel Peace Prize snub of Taliban-trashing teen Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai were the ones who want her dead.
"We are delighted that she didn't get it," Taliban spokesman Shaidullah Shahid said Friday, after the Nobel committee awarded its 2013 award to a little- known chemical-weapons watchdog group.
"She did nothing big, so it's good she didn't get it," the terrorist mouthpiece told the AFP.
Malala, 16, was widely seen as the front-runner for this year's Peace Prize.
The Taliban this week vowed, "We will target her again and attack whenever we have a chance."
The $1.2 million prize instead went to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, a group working to destroy Syria's chemical weapons.
