text: In 2004, lesbian activist FannyAnn Eddy was brutally murdered in Sierra Leone in her office building a few months after returning from a meeting with the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The details surrounding her death are horrific: evidence revealed that her throat was cut, her tongue and eyes were removed and she was raped. Although the motives of Eddy's assailant(s) are sketchy, her untimely death shook the African LGBT community, and left her partner and son without a spouse and mother.

In December 2009, Italian director Enzo G.Castellari (director of the original "The Inglorious Bastards") and Shameless Screen Entertainment present, together for the first time ever, Castellari's complete post-apocalyptic vision on DVD in THE BRONX WARRIORS TRILOGY, an exclusive three-disc collection featuring the cult classics THE BRONX WARRIORS, its sequel ESCAPE FROM THE BRONX and THE NEW BARBARIANS.
The three-disc set comes packaged in a limited edition special collector's tin and includes reversible sleeves for each individual title. Additional special features include an introduction to the films by Castellari, plus an all-new 20-minute interview with the director. As an extra bonus for fans, the version of ESCAPE FROM THE BRONX included in the set is a newly restored anamorphic widescreen presentation complete with a Shameless rebuild edit that represents what is believed to be the most complete version of the film available anywhere.
The Bronx Warriors
In the year 1990 the Bronx is officially declared a no man's land. The authorities have given up all attempts to restore law and order leaving the area to be ruled by a gang known as the Riders. Into this wasteland comes Anne, a 17-year-old heiress to an arms business who, unable to contain her guilt over having to inherit the business, has run away. She soon finds herself under the protection of the Riders' leader, Trash. But, determined to get Ann back, executives at the Manhattan Corporation have hired a ruthless, psychopathic mercenary to infiltrate the Bronx and turn the gang members against each other.
Escape From The Bronx
Several years after the events of The Bronx Warriors, Trash, the former leader of the Riders gang is now a cynical loner, remaining in the Bronx and trading in stolen ammunition. The General Construction Corporation wishes to tear down the Bronx to turn it into "the city of the future", but to do this they need to clear the current population from the area and have employed a private squad of "Disinfestors" to burn, shoot and gas those that will not leave willingly. While the bums, vagrants and elderly prove to be easy prey, the warrior gangs of the Bronx are not prepared to go quietly.
The New Barbarians
The year is 2019 and a nuclear war has reduced humanity to small groups of starving survivors. Among them is a ruthless gang calling themselves the Templars, who intend to purge the earth by exterminating what is left of the human race. The only hope for the survivors lies with a former Templar, known as Scorpion, and his band of allies who are prepared to fight the Templars in one final showdown.
THE BRONX WARRIORS TRILOGY (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (£29.99) by Shameless Screen Entertainment on 7th December 2009.

Unlike several of their neighbors around Savile Row, the George Glasgows, senior and junior, of shoemakers G.J. Cleverley & Co. made it out of Heathrow before the Icelandic ash closed down air travel. They are in the United States for their semi-annual month-long travelling trunk show, and brought with them a couple of old ideas.
The firm is principally a bespoke shoemaker of course, and it also offers a line of well-priced machine-made shoes that sell like mad in Japan. Its newest venture is the 2009 introduction of the Anthony Cleverley line of hand-made shoes on standard lasts, and that has been a wild success as these things go. Cleverley is already sold out for the next eighteen months.
There being no good news without some form of price to be paid, an eighteen month backlog leaves the Anthony Cleverley version of George Sr.'s favorite shoe, the faux laced elastic sided slipon popularized by Winston Churchill, to the extent that the word popular applies to something that has never been made except one at a time, up in the air.
The Anthony Cleverley line has taken off so quickly because it is probably the best constructed not-quite-bespoke shoe in the Western world, sewn entirely by hand in Cleverley's own workrooms. And at 950 GBP or approximately $1,500 ex VAT inclusive of lasted shoe trees, an Anthony Cleverley model costs roughly half the price of the same shoe made on a bespoke last. That is outstanding value if the standard shoe fits.
The upshot of this popularity is that customers will not be seeing new Anthony Cleverley models based on designs dating from the first half of the twentieth century, like the kielty slip-on in the photo, this year as originally planned.
But what was old will eventually become new again.

What Was Old Will Eventually Be New Again

I have bothe the AC line and the Bespoke from GC. In all honesty, The AC is from appearance a better looking and more detailed shoe than the Bespoke. The Bespoke is a better fit of course but the AC line with its beautiful lasts and great detail is worth the money. The shoe trees and bags are even nicer!

Wonderful chaps. From personal inspection, the bespoke models are noticeably superior to the AC line, but then again the market for each line is rather different. The AC shoes are for the Argentine playboy hitting up girls in an LA bar, whilst the bespoke models are for older, more established chaps hitting up old people in Newport Beach for their $10 Million + portfolios.

I do hang on to clothes in the knowledge that what is old will eventually be new again, at some point. However, I usually throw them away just before they do.
One question, though: why are the legs of different lengths on this gentleman's trousers?

Standoff ends with $250,000 bail for officer
Gary McKeon, 47, of 23 Kenmar Drive, was arraigned Friday on four counts of reckless conduct and one count of criminal threatening. McKeon is a detective with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. The MBTA said he has been on leave since his December arrest on a charge of domestic assault involving his girlfriend, according to reports.
Family members asked police to check on McKeon, who reportedly made suicidal and threatening comments. He was reported to be intoxicated and carrying a gun, according to police.
More than 10 officers arrived at the hotel around 3:10 p.m., according to Lt. Michael Moushegian of the Nashua Police Department.
"We took the precaution of establishing a perimeter and initiating contact with Mr. McKeon," Moushegian said.
The floor was cleared of people and officers remained outside of the room for several hours. McKeon was arrested at 10:45 p.m.
"He came out, he was taken into custody, and nobody was hurt," Moushegian said.
Police found evidence that four rounds had been discharged in the room but there was no indication McKeon was attempting to shoot at police, Moushegian said. The evidence led to four reckless conduct charges. McKeon was also charged with criminal threatening for allegedly pointing a gun towards members of the Nashua Police Special Reaction Team.
McKeon was being held on $250,000 cash only bail. He is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing Feb. 25.

We recently encountered the problem of get() in HashMap entering an infinite loop (mentioned http://lightbody.net/blog/2005/07/ha...an_infini.html here.
This caused us to wonder about the maps generated through the MapFactoryBean, and if they could ever have a problem. I see that MFB generates LinkedHashMaps by default. Why can these safely be injected into Spring singletons? It would seem to have the same problem as any Java HashMap-type structure.

New Liquor Law Revives Happy Hour in Kansas
Associated Press - Sun 08:47 PM 07/01/2012
Kansas is bringing back happy hour.
New laws that took effect Sunday make a host of changes in the state's alcohol regulations, including a provision that lets bars and restaurants offer specials on drinks for a few hours at a time.
Kansas abolished happy hour in 1985 by prohibiting bars from changing prices between opening and closing. Lawmakers were concerned that people heading to bars after work for a couple of discounted drinks would consume too much, too quickly.
The Kansas City Star reports the revival of happy-hour promotions is just one of the changes. Others include allowing liquor stores and other retailers to serve free samples and to host wine and beer tastings.
But one thing remains unchanged: Kansas grocery stores still cannot sell wine or hard liquor.

Happy Beer and Liquor Hour really means Happy DUI Hour.. You know the police are behind some of this in some way..
Monday 2 July 2012 07:24 Report this comment
The same police who pushed this in 1985 to have the law enacted, the same police who scrap little kids off the road after being splattered by a drunk driver, the same Chief of Police and Sheriffs Association of Kansas that made this occur in 1985 by pushing lawmakers to enact this, yeah, thats it boneman. Well put.

From the minute we arrived, Jon at the Front Desk was funny, inviting and all round great person. He assisted us with information regarding the resort and local night life. He directed us to the appropriate persons to help out with any requests we had. Hedy made sure that we received our massages by the pool.....woooonnnnddddeeerrrful!!! The ocean view from room 611 was divine. We saw an evening wedding on the beach from our balcony. The rooms were extremely clean and every day the staff made sure we had what we needed. I must admit the local pizza we ordered was not that great but the hotel food was superb! I had Gorgonzola crusted steak one night and the pasta another night....both highly recommended. The cosmo's were great too. We were made to feel like we were family. I know that we will be back! ...

2nd floor does not have a balcony for ocean front rooms. The balconies are tiny but they do let you open a sliding glass door and just breathe in the beautiful beach atmosphere there - worth the extra cost in my opinion. If you get an ocean front room make sure you get 3rd floor and up. The rooms themselves look very modern and nice. Either the beds were super comfortable or we were super tired but we slept like babies...Really liked staying at this hotel and would do so again. ...

The total price when I booked through Priceline was $214.00. My credit card was charged $255.00. Don't agree with the hidden fees! When it says total price that's what it should be! Because of this I will no longer be using Priceline.

This hotel was clean and easy to find. There Is restaurants and stores shopping within walking distance. Next time I'm in Deerfield I will stay there again.

Overall, we really liked the hotel. We selected it for the beach, which is very nice, and staffed with life guards. You can rent beach chairs, surf boards, boogey boards and loungers. Depending on how busy the beach is, you can negotiate with the vendors for price on rentals. There is also a pier for fishing or sight-seeing for $1.00/person.

nice location and beautiful view of the beach and pier. However, there were large bugs in our clothing closet, a big turn off as we did not want any of them to get into our luggage and be brought home!

This leaves you exposed to the problem of significant risk and potentially high costs. Many banks, in these turbulent financial times, may have highlighted the benefits of this type of loan but failed to properly explain the risks.
Thousands of companies like you may have been sold this type of financing as a way to protect them against rises in interest rates (interest rate hedging).
With interest rates hitting rock bottom and staying there, companies are now finding themselves locked into uncompetitive rates and stuck with massive monthly repayments.
If your bank didn't explain the risks, our experts in financial regulation can help you. We've recovered over £10m for our customers.
Don't delay – this type of claim is time-sensitive and you may lose the right to claim if you do not act immediately!

Undergraduate admission:
Recruitment efforts yield a class of high-achieving students
For the last four years, higher education has faced enormous challenges. Although parents and prospective students still value the college experience, many wonder whether they are financially able to take on the debt loads often associated with an undergraduate degree.
Graduate admission:
A comprehensive strategic vision supports solid enrollment
In 2009, the University launched a major initiative addressing graduate studies. The goal was to enhance quality and provide a more supportive, rigorous environment across the institution's 120-plus autonomous graduate programs.
International admission:
Commitment to diversity brings new students to campus
For international students, the University of Denver has long been an attractive option, but in recent years, interest in the institution has grown dramatically.
Ambitious campaign focuses on human and intellectual infrastructure
In October 2010, the University launched Ascend: The Campaign for the University of Denver. The kickoff marked the beginning of the public phase of the campaign, which followed a four-year silent phase that raised $250 million and broke all previous University fundraising records.
Fiscal Year 2011:
Responsible stewardship positions DU for a robust future
Thanks to prudent budgeting, sound management of its resources and growing demand for a DU education, the University of Denver concluded fiscal year 2011 in excellent condition.

6.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note III rumored for 2013

Phablets started with the Samsung Galaxy Note in 2011, and the 5.3-inch monster phone scared us at the time with its size…

At 6.3" they'll have to change the slogan. It will now be: "Phone? Tablet? Best of both.....well maybe it's like a slightly smaller tablet combined with a big mother f***in' phone." They'll have Samuel L. Jackson do the ad since he's known for saying the mofo word.

I found the first Note to massive to be consider a usable phone. As it does not effect me, because I don't really care for Samsung phones. But, I do hope this is just a rumor. I consider 6.3" to be a tablet and not a phone. You never know tho, some people out there might like it.

Anything above 6 inch then I am out.
You will see guys that the next note 3 will be between 5.8 to 6 inch.
I like to see it at 6 inch and nothing more.

When I heard that a true phablets measurements are 6.3" I was excited cause i figured that Sammy would eventually get there. I think its too soon to see a 6.3" Note 3 by next year. I think they should take it slow and make it at least a 6" screen. Then after that they should make a 6.3" screen. Honestly, the biggues I want my Phablet to be is the size of the Nexus 7. With less frame of course. Still waiting on the news tho whether or not that Note 7.0 or 7.7 will have a phone feature on it.

As a note 1 and note 2 user I will diffenitly go for the 6" otherwise I don't see any other option but to dumb the note series and go for the new sony with 6".

I LOVE my Note 2 from Tmobile. Everywhere I go I almost always get a "wow what is that!?" asked by people and bar tenders, and what not. Although I am used to the phone's size there are ocassions where it's size hinders me a little bit. I will be buying another note in the future IF they keep it this same size... but anything physically larger and I won't be able to fit it without a man-purse! 6.3" sounds TOO big! I would have to pass on the Notes if that is indeed true. (Hope not!)
64. Jeradiah3 posted on 13 Dec 2012, 09:04 0 0
Id have to look at the design before I can say that Im for or against this idea. I love the Note and Note II because its a big phone for a big guy like me. Hopefully making a phone that big should be the limit because you're talking about tablet territory w/ phones that are 6.5 in and higher
we'll have to wait and see
67. McLTE posted on 13 Dec 2012, 09:29 0 0
I'm feeling like the physical size of my Note 2 is about perfect for me. It's able to fit in my pockets ok, but any bigger and there could be issues.
I'm all for the Note 3 sporting a bigger screen as long as the physical size doesn't change much, if at all. I could see them getting maybe half an inch more out of the current Note 2.
I'm IN if it comes out as 6" in the SAME size chassis.. but any bigger and I think I'll pass.
Sammy has to be careful here with the Note 2. It's about perfect now and if they keep pushing the size, they will quickly hit a point where people will stop buying it and it will become a niche product. It already is to a degree.

Samsung loves its funny screen sizes. I am quite content with the 5.5 inch. I may jump at that 6.3 if its true but man that is really pushing my limit for comfort and blurring the lines between tablet and phone.
74. yatmiko posted on 13 Dec 2012, 10:28 0 0
everyone listen
it might looks big, same like when I use my note2 first time and I feel it too big for me.
But now the 5.5" it look small for me because I use it anywhere and any time.
I think 6.5 is the best size if they can keep the bezel less then 2MM at horizontal and less then 5MM at the vertical side.

6.3in is not a phablet, it's straight up a tablet, though small. What I would like to see in the next Note would be the same 5.5in screen but with 1080p resolution using the technology that the Note 2 us using. Aside from a higher resolution screen, I could see having about 4GB RAM (based on the fact that the demo Note at my local Sprint store only has about 750MB free RAM out of like 1.8GB) and a more efficient processor (not more powerful but better power usage).

Algae Grower
New 36 Gallon Bowfront - My last tank was 30 years ago!
First I want to thanks everyone on TPT, and specially the mods and experts that hang out here. I would love to get some feedback on the tank I am putting together.
I have been lurking around here for a couple of months, and it's finally time to start the tank journal. This is my first planted tank, and the last aquarium I had was over 30 years ago. That one ended in disaster, poor maintenance practices led to algae blooms... there were no survivors. Now my daughter of 7 needs an aquarium because "my best friends both have pet fish and I have no pets!" Truth is I have always loved aquariums and am probably more excited about it than she is. So I started reading up on various sites and ended up here where I fell for the idea of having actual plants rather than the fake stuff I had been envisioning. Daughter agreed that the fish would be happier with real plants rather than plastic or silk. So then lots more reading, here and all over, and I have come up with a plan for a low tech (hopefully low maintenance) planted tank. I got a 36 Gallon Sea Clear acrylic bowfront tank seen here with the manzanita wood I got from Rafael on these boards (testing placement, please comment)... My tap water has a ph of 7.6 and a dKH of 14 (fairly hard and I am not sure if that is a problem). For lighting I just ordered a 30" Finnex FugeRay, the tank is exactly 30" wide so this will light all the way to the side edges. Based on the chart it should give me maximum PAR 60 at 18" which is where the substrate will be more or less. My understanding is that this would be considered medium light at that level. I do plan on having some floating plants so I figure that will cut the light down to a low-med level at the substrate. No plans for co2 except maybe using Flourish Excel (I need to do more research on this aspect). For the substrate I have: 40 lbs black Eco-Complete 20 lbs CaribSea Instant Aquarium Sunset Gold Gravel I want to create a jungle and beach sort of layout. I am not planning on caping the Eco-C with the sand, rather I will create a sandy bottomed zone along the front and left. I'll use the river stones (in the bottom left of the photo) and some more that I collect near the left rear to create a raised planting area. I understand the Eco-C has high CEC but won't really add any nutrients itself so I decided to splurge on the Borneo Wild planted tank starter set: 1 Balance 2 Boost P 3 Bacter Crystal 4 Bacter Energy I am hoping that this combination at startup will both help cycle my tank (fishless) and also put nutrients into the Eco-C so that I don't have to do much fertilizing over time. For filtration I got a Fluval 306 canister, which is rated for a 70 gallon tank I think. I will replace the black carbon with Seachem Purigen. For flora I am looking at (I hope to get most of these): Marsilea Minuta (foreground) Frogbit (floating) Anubias barteri - nana (on driftwood) Java Fern Microsorum pteropus (on driftwood) Java or Christmas moss (on driftwood) Money Wort (for background) Ambulia Limnophila aquaticum (raised BG) Vallisneria nana (midground) Wavy Swordplant Aponogeton crispus (mid-background) Crypt wendtii (mid-background) For fauna the plan is: 6 guppies (2 male, 4 female). 8 Neon (or Emperor) tetras 1 Honey Gourami 6 Abino Corydoras (part of the reason for the sandy part of the tank). 10 Red Cherry Shrimp Otto or SAE I feel I am on a good path although there is more research to do. I do have some questions that I would be greatful to get advice on: Any advice on where to acquire plants? I live in Los Angeles and would love to be able to go and pick them up, likewise fish since I don't think I want to buy at petco. Also I hope to get most from one source so that I can manage receiving and planting them all at once if possible. Since I am using the Borneo Wild package should I dump the liquid that comes with the Eco-Complete and Instant Aquarium gravel? It supposedly has bacteria etc. but the BW does too; or should I take a 'more is merrier' approach and use it all? Other than the Borneo Wild Booster, and what my fish will add, should I need to do additional fertilization? Should I wait until after I cycle to start using the Seachem Purigen? Is there a better media to use than the Bio Max foam in the bottom tray of the 306? Thanks again to everyone! |

Tank is up!
Ok, I finally got the tank planted and running...
The whole tank: [/URL] Anubias Gold and X-Mass Moss: Staurogyne Repens: More Anubias, moss, and Java ferns. This picture is from a couple of days after planting, and it looks like the leaves on the anubias are getting dark spots, I don't know much about plants, but something is deficient (no fish in the tank yet). Anybody got an idea of what might be missing?

The 6 Best SNL Hosts of All Time
It's been a long time on Saturday Night Live. For over 30 years the show has been entertaining America, and for over 30 years the show has been successful. While I'm not a particularly big fan of the show at present time, once in a while you get yourself a good episode.
And usually that episode is accompanied by a host who can pull his or her own weight. Over the years, SNL has seen plenty of its share of crappy hosts, but it's also seen some memorable ones.
Here are my picks for the top six of all time…..
Alec Baldwin
15 times. I mean that's pretty much all you really need to say right? 15 times hosting this show? That's absurd. What's so great about Baldwin is that he possesses the comedic qualities that even the actors on the show do. I'm also amazing that Baldwin used to be considered a stud back in the day. How he transformed himself into comedian is truly awesome to me.
Christopher Walken
Walken is the kind of guy you can simply look at and laugh. So the beauty with that is that you don't even really need to be all that creative with his skits. I mean hell, Walken played some dumbass who claimed to have a lion in his apartment. The crowd laughed because it was Walken playing the part, not because of the creativity of the skit. You can put Walken in almost anything and you'll get a chuckle.
Justin Timberlake
I'm pretty sure if he wanted to, Justin Timberlake could be a cast member of SNL in about two seconds. Hell he'd probably be one of the best ones. What's so great about Timberlake is the effort. Most people read the cue cards, say their thing and that's it. Timberlake acts out his parts and gives it 100% every single time out. Plus he makes fun of his personal life which is awesome.
John Goodman
Yes, John Goodman. I'm pretty sure I'm putting him in there because of the time he played Janet Reno. Good God I still laugh every time I see that.
Jon Hamm
Yup, Jon Hamm. I know he's in a bit of a newer class here but Hamm is one of those guys who is like Timberlake. He puts in a ton of effort on his parts and is 100% willing to do anything. As if this video isn't enough. Trust me. Hamm is awesome and I do hope he continues to host at a nice clip.
Tom Hanks
Hanks is another guy whose hosted the show a bunch of times. For some reason I always loved his role as the roadie on Wayne's World. It wasn't even all that funny and yet is was. If anything, Hanks is a memorable host because he's stood the test of time with acting and continues to enjoy being funny and making fun of himself.
*Steve Martin
Personally I don't think he's all that funny but I know I'd get reamed if I didn't add him.

The Word of Wisdom is not a doctrine but the practice of a doctrine. For example, we can live the Law of Consecration by practicing the paying tithing or by having all things in common. The church can change the practice from one to the other, but the doctrine itself remains.
The doctrinal principle here is to keep our body clean and pure, as a temple to God. The Word of Wisdom is one practice of that doctrine. Christ and the disciples drank wine, but today we do not. The practice can change but the doctrine remains the same.
So, yes the prophet can change the practice.
As a bonus, the law of polygamy has not changed, only the practice. If a man has been sealed to a woman, but now he is widowed, he can be sealed to a second wife without a temple divorce.

Theme & Amusement Parks in Westminster
Recommended Theme & Amusement Parks by Groupon Customers
Miner's Maze Adventureland is peppered with numerous exhilarating and family-friendly attractions, including a new multi-level ropes course where guests can climb and swing at up to three stories in the air. The course features challenges easy through difficult, and participants are fully secured to a track to ensure safety at all times.
Down below, a whistle shrieks as the Rio Golden Railroad train chugs around the park, and children shout as they navigate the park's namesake maze, a 5,000-square-foot, two-level labyrinth that occasionally hosts squirt-gun contests. At the Water Walkerz attraction, people climb inside big, inflatable spheres to zip across the surface of a pool without sinking or bumping into an oil tanker. Both the Magic Mountain Climbing Wall and the Silver Spring Bungee help guests reach new heights, the former with a three-story rock climbing wall and the latter with a bungee cord and a trampoline, along with the Magic Mountain Mine Shaft vertical webbed maze.
In addition to its year-round activities, the park features seasonal activities, including an annual Easter golden egg hunt and kid-friendly Halloween events.
Within Game Shack's digital den, flat-screen TVs line the walls, flickering with the polygonal derring-do of gamers locked in virtual competition with titles for platforms including Xbox, Wii, and PC. While their plush leather video-game chairs make extended sessions as comfortable as they are engaging, Game Shack also brings games to life in their multi-floor, tiered laser-tag arena. Illuminated by black lights, players take aim at opponents against a tropical-themed backdrop depicting a moonlit waterfall, a spooky temple, and tiki men impersonating their favorite Bond villains. The party room hosts large groups for celebrations such as birthdays and special events, with party packages available that arm each member with unlimited laser tag and console gaming. Game Shack also hosts competitive-gaming events, with an official Elo-based ranking system that assigns seeding for tournaments. As players dash and game to their hearts' delight, the Snack Shack keeps them properly fueled with food such as pizza, hot dogs, chicken wings, Monster energy drinks, and sodas.
Cleaved through 30 acres of densely situated corn stalks, the Wild West Corn Maze tests voyagers' senses of direction as they maneuver through the leafy corridors. The cornrows compose 10 distinct mazes, including one with a cowboys-and-aliens theme and an obstacle course where visitors challenge scarecrows to a barrel-rolling duel as they search for the exit. After moving through the agrarian labyrinth, guests with unlimited-level tickets can check out a number of other autumnal attractions, including tractor rides, a farm-animal petting zoo, and a pumpkin patch. The bucolic setting also boasts a massive jumping pillow—an inflatable mat where tykes can bounce in the open air—a pumpkin launcher and a corn cannon, both of which hearken back to the simpler days when all nautical warfare was waged with produce.
When guests cross the threshold into MorbidNights Colorado's Nut House, they enter the tormented minds of history's most notorious serial killers. Inside the 20 rooms that occupy the 12,000 square-foot fear factory, brazen voyagers come face to face with some of the most homicidal humans ever to walk the earth, and shudder with fear as the criminals reenact their notorious crimes or a favorite dance number from South Pacific. Those brave enough to risk the madness do so for a great cause, however, as the haunt donates a portion of its yearly proceeds to worthy causes including the Weld Food Bank or UNC student radio.
Glowing monkeys scamper toward a neon waterfall, and a knight bearing a radiant yellow lance rides past a bright orange octopus emerging from the ocean. What appears to be a time-traveling session gone awry is really the evolving environment within Putting Edge's indoor black-lit mini-golf course, which whisks players to deep seas, Aztec jungles, and medieval times. Since opening its original location in Canada, Putting Edge has now expanded to 17 North American locations, all of which invite guests onto its challenging 18-hole courses to seek victory over opponents and the forces that keep their teeth from not glowing as brightly as they could. Elsewhere, the facility houses private party rooms, concessions, and an arcade filled with gamer favorites such as air hockey.

David has taught a range of courses including Development of Sociological Theory (UCLA), Introduction to Sociology, Methods of Empirical Investigation, Citizenship Matters, and International Migration. He has developed 3 courses that he is looking forward to teaching in the near future:
- Bound by Borders: A Sociology of Law and Migration. Laws bind people within a political jurisdiction to each other and to their territory. Geographically mobile people test these links and have been the cause for the emergence and reconfiguration of important laws governing who can come and go. How and why this happens interests not only policymakers, government officials and judges, but also individuals included or excluded by borders and scholars trying to understand laws. This mid-level course asks why migration laws differ among countries, how they change over time, and their impact on inequalities in receiving and sending countries. It considers explanations of the peculiar policymaking alliances that emerge in response to migration as well as of factors that shape the success of policy proposals. While the U.S. case receives extensive attention, the course takes a deliberately comparative perspective by analyzing the European Union, Asia, Latin America, the stateless and refugees.
- Members Only: A Political Sociology of Citizenship. Citizenship is fundamentally a legal tie between an individual and a particular state, and thus an inherently political institution. It is shaped and expressed primarily in three interdependent spheres: the state, markets, and civil society. The main objective of the seminar is to gain greater understanding of citizenship through the use of analytical tools developed in the subfield of political sociology. Readings come from that subfield, political philosophy, history, anthropology, and political science. Popular representations of citizenship in the media and film serve as windows into major analytic perspectives. By examining case studies in the Americas, Europe, and Asia over time, the course develops a comparative-historical approach to understanding citizenship.
- Global Perspectives on Race, Science and States. This mid-level course compares how the idea of race and the practice of sorting people by perceived race have varied over time in the Americas and globally. It also examines the ways in which people have used science to legitimate and advanced official racial classifications and policies. In particular, the course considers (1) the role played by state institutions like the census in reflecting and making racial categories, (2) the role of science in creating and giving its imprimatur to racial taxonomies, (3) the global spread of ethnoracial ways of classifying people as well as of "color-blind" ideologies of equality, and (4) new scientific claims about the "reality" of race.

Leadership here in the Greater Richmond Area rests in the hands of the elders of the "simple churches," served and equipped by a gift ministry team who also maintain responsibillty for the corporate life of the churches in the greater Richmond area.
Understanding that eldership function is to shepherd and bishop lives, we see an OASIS as an elder-led community of believers meeting in a home or other similar environment (i.e. marketplace) with a vision of making disciples and a desire to see a neighborhood, community or workplace shepherded and reached with the love of God. It is a place where "simple church" is lived as a Kingdom witness.
Family is the foundation on which God has chosen to build, so we see these communities as families. We place a high value on relationships, and on living life together.
An OASIS in a desert is a place of refreshment, safety and rest. We desire to see the same for a neighborhood OASIS. It is to be a safe house for people to dwell, grow and fulfill their kingdom destiny.
Key elements of an Oasis are as follows:
O ne Anothers
A doration - Worship
S tudy of the Word - Discipleship
I ntercession
S haring our lives and faith with others
The early Church was devoted to four things according to Acts 2:42- the apostles' doctrine, fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer. When they gathered, they all participated! In 1 Cor. 14:26 , they brought a psalm, doctrine, tongue, revelation and interpretation.
They were "AN OASIS OF LOVE IN A HURTING WORLD!"

CHARLOTTE — Shortly after Terrell Manning put a black, "Belk Bowl Champions" hat on his head to commemorate N.C. State's 31-24 bowl win over Louisville on Tuesday night, the junior linebacker started talking about next season.
Seven starters on each side of the ball, including defensive stars in Manning and cornerback David Amerson, and quarterback Mike Glennon, are scheduled to return for a Wolfpack team that won six of its final eight games to finish 8-5 in 2011.
"We've got a lot of good guys coming back, and we've got a big opening game with Tennessee, so we've got a lot to look forward to," said Manning, who had an interception and five tackles against the Cardinals.
There's plenty of time to talk about the Wolfpack's 2012 season-opener against the Volunteers on Sept. 1 in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff in Atlanta. There also were plenty of moments to relive late Tuesday night at Bank of America Stadium as Wolfpack players celebrated their second straight bowl win and the triumphant end of an uneven, yet ultimately fulfilling season.
Since an injury-racked 2-3 start, the Wolfpack beat an 8-4 Virginia team, rival North Carolina and ACC champion Clemson. And in its regular-season finale, it mounted a 27-point comeback - the largest in school history - to beat Maryland to get to Tuesday's bowl game.
"I told them in the locker room afterwards, I am as proud of this team as any team I've been around," fifth-year N.C. State coach Tom O'Brien said. "This has been a frustrating year for them and us, but it has certainly been a rewarding year."
N.C. State will have to replace some key contributors from this year's team. Senior receiver T.J. Graham caught seven passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns as State built a 21-10 halftime lead Tuesday. Linebacker Audie Cole, a rock in a fluctuating defensive lineup unsettled by injuries, had 9.5 tackles, including 4.5 for a loss against Louisville.
But Glennon, the fourth quarterback in school history to throw for 3,000 yards and the third with 31 touchdown passes, returns to lead an offense that should get a boost from a healthy Mustafa Greene at running back.
Greene, the team's leading rusher in 2010, missed the entire 2011 season with a foot injury.
Junior Tobais Palmer, who caught a 35-yard touchdown on Tuesday, will slide into Graham's spot at receiver. Four offensive linemen who started Tuesday will be back to block.
N.C. State's defense also will still have Amerson, whose two interceptions on Tuesday gave him an ACC-record 13 for the season. Amerson's 65-yard interception return for a touchdown put the Wolfpack up 31-10 in the third quarter.
"That interception, I don't know if I've seen any better," O'Brien said.
Amerson's second interception, with 41 seconds left, sealed the win, after freshman Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (24-of-43, 274 yards) threw for two second-half touchdowns.
State's defense will miss senior defensive linemen Markus Kuhn and J.R. Sweezy, but the bonus of so many injuries this season - 51 man-games, not including Greene or cornerback Jarvis Byrd - is that young linemen Thomas Teal, T.Y. McGill and Art Norman are ahead of schedule in their development.
With 17 wins in two seasons, only four other senior classes won more games than this Wolfpack group.
"The bar is set pretty high, but there's no telling where they can go from here," Graham said.

Mailbag: Berkley Edwards, Alabama Math, Burke's Bees
Berkley Edwards.
Berkley Edwards: already on the roster, but named "Dennis Norfleet"
Guys, are the Michigan coaches really not offering Berkley Edwards? I understand he is small, but as fast as he is and the fact he is a legacy makes me question the thought here. I've noticed this hasn't been mentioned at all since the ever mature Braylon went on Twitter to complain. At the very least, I hope the coaches reach out the Edwards family and keep any discussion out of the social media.
What I don't get though is if he is someone Nebraska considers, can Michigan afford to overlook him? I know I really think that the Buckeyes not recruiting Mike McCray is going to come back to haunt them. I don't want Berkley to come back and haunt us.
Berkley Edward's chances went from okay to slim when Michigan flipped Dennis Norfleet the day before Signing Day and from slim to life support when Brady Hoke went Donkey Kong on 2013 recruiting. At this point Michigan can afford to overlook someone Nebraska offers two scholarships and an earldom, let alone considers.
Michigan has 17 kids in the class and is going to somewhere between 22 and 24. Even if we take the most Edwards-friendly number, six of those seven scholarships are earmarked for:
- Ty Isaac
- Two wide receivers
- Three defensive linemen
So then you're talking about adding Edwards over another corner, safety, TE, or WR. Is a pint-sized tailback most likely to make an impact on special teams really a priority over one of those spots, especially when you already have three running backs in the class and recruited a seemingly-superior quarkback prospect in Norfleet the year previous? No.
Add in the likelihood that whoever Michigan is pursuing for spot 24 at one of those other positions is going to be a four-star type and it's a blowout. Offering Edwards makes no sense. McCray, a consensus four-star ranked in the top 100 by Rivals and ESPN with two dozen BCS offers including Oklahoma, is not even a comparison.
Edwards might have a shot if Isaac ends up at USC and Michigan can't latch on to another touted guy at tailback. Even in that situation it seems unlikely since Michigan is loaded with tiny darty return guys who are the only tailbacks Fred Jackson doesn't think are the second coming of Earl Campbell. He just does not make sense on the roster.
Wouldn't you rather have another safety? Safeties are important, yo.
Alabama math.
Hey Brian,
I am not sure I followed your latest post. There might be something I am missing. I am not a fan of Brandon or this game, but I don't see how a home-and-home makes us better of financially. Let's say a bad opponent home game nets us 5 million. Playing Bama at home nets us 7 million. And for arguments sake lets say the return of a home-and-home with Bama would be in 2013.The way it is
2012 Jerry Game: 4.7 million + 2013 crap team: 5 million = 9.7 million
2012 Bama: 7 million + 2013 at Bama: 0 = 7 million
No Bama
2012 crap: 5 million + 2013 crap: 5 million = 10 million (but you don't get to play Bama; but the band is happy)
I would choose home and home if it was me because it is not my money and that is more fun, but I don't think that is the best choice financially. I would choose both over more UMass games.
Mike Yates
The thing you and the OUTRAGED at OUTRAGE gang in the comments are missing is the ticket price. Apparently a game like Michigan-Alabama can support a ticket price range from $125 to $285. This is at a minimum 66% higher than Michigan is currently charging for bodybag games, not the 17% suggested in your email (remember that Michigan has to shell out about $2 million to get the one-off games in the No Bama scenario).
When the ticket prices came in 30 bucks or more—potentially much more—above what Michigan is charging for their "premium" game this year that changed the math drastically. Maybe that pricing is not sustainable over 110,000 tickets like it was for the 25,000 Michigan was given for Jerryworld, but… yeah, it totally is. Find me a Michigan fan who'd be less likely to buy a season ticket package this year that had 'Bama on it but was $50 more expensive. That person does not exist.
A correctly priced monster home-and-home is financially comparable to the dual punching bag scenario even without considering the ancillary benefits that will come from increased interest in season tickets, suites, goodwill from the fanbase, donations, etc. It would have made more sense for both Alabama and Michigan to schedule a game in Ann Arbor for 2013, then figure out where the return game goes later.
In the long term this is largely moot. After the Pac-12 agreement kicks in Michigan will have a road nonconference game every year except when the ND series takes its brief breaks. It's hard to imagine them adding a third opponent who would require Michigan to travel.
I just hate getting sold a bill of goods, is all.
Keep Crisler ArenaCenter weird.
Hey Brian. My buddy works with the guy that buys the costumes (and tickets) for the students wearing the lobster suits. With Smotrycz transferring, the lobsters are going to become bees through a glorious transformation. I hope this insider tidbit helps you get through the slow period and maybe even leads to some cool visions on your current meds.
Go Blue!KJ, '04
I will miss the lobstryczs, but good on the Maize Rage for keeping the weird quotient high. I suggest someone purchase an enormous buffalo head mask so they can be Bielfeldt's Buffalo. Someone should wear a fez for no discernible reason. He should have one of those huge faces of himself wearing the fez, as well, cocking an eyebrow and looking suave.
Also also we're going to need a giant Canadian flag for Stauskas. And some guys dressed up like beetles who click their mandibles alarmingly during free throws. And there should be a moose. A live moose. With moose teeth. Wearing a toque. His name is Graham the Brown Moose, and he sets huge screens. In the event a live moose is not permitted in Crisler we will innovate.
In addition, on certain defensive possessions Crisler should adopt the disconcerting Yost penalty-kill hooting. Whenever Stauskas hits a three the entire student section should shout "You're my buddy, pal!" There will be a Mark Twain impersonator as well.
Addendum: we need a prominently located fat shirtless guy. On his chest we will paint an image of Glen Rice raising up for a three-pointer. He will not be allowed to shower. We should think about putting a hat on him as well. Hats are crucial for the entire operation. People should also dress like the future people in Bill and Ted.
These are reasonable suggestions. /jedi hand wave

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Thailand's Pornanong Phatlum and France's Karine Icher each 7-under 66 on Saturday to share the first-round lead in the LPGA Tour's 36-hole Brazil Cup exhibition event.
American Katie Futcher was a shot behind at Itanhanga Golf Club, and Norway's Suzann Pettersen matched Brittany Lang and Candie Kung at 68. Paula Creamer and Christina Kim shot 69.
Phatlum and Icher each had eight birdies and a bogey.
"My approach shots and putting were very good today," Phatlum said. "I think I just have to play and focus on my game," Pornanong said. "I just need to have fun tomorrow."
Icher was third last week in the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic.
"My putting was good," Icher said. "At the beginning, the greens were hard to read and slow, too. I had many opportunities at the beginning and I just made one birdie on No. 2 and then par, par, par, par. I was close to the hole, but then I made birdies on eight and nine. It was a good round, a good sensation. I love that course. It's just flat and enjoyable, so it was cool."
Pettersen had even par on the back nine with two birdies and two bogeys.
"It was disappointing not to get to 7 under," Pettersen. "Before I got to the back (nine), I didn't really see anyone's scores. I thought I was doing pretty good until I saw there were a lot of other birdies out there. It's definitely out there. The weather is going to be like this tomorrow and the greens are really soft. It's like throwing darts."

PTB/hnRNP I is Required for RNP Remodeling During RNA Localization in Xenopus Oocytes
Molecular and Cellular Biology. Jan, 2008 | Pubmed ID: 18039852
Transport of specific mRNAs to defined regions within the cell cytoplasm is a fundamental mechanism for regulating cell and developmental polarity. In the Xenopus oocyte, Vg1 RNA is transported to the vegetal cytoplasm, where localized expression of the encoded protein is critical for embryonic polarity. The Vg1 localization pathway is directed by interactions between key motifs within Vg1 RNA and protein factors recognizing those RNA sequences. We have investigated how RNA-protein interactions could be modulated to trigger distinct steps in the localization pathway and found that the Vg1 RNP is remodeled during cytoplasmic RNA transport. Our results implicate two RNA-binding proteins with key roles in Vg1 RNA localization, PTB/hnRNP I and Vg1RBP/vera, in this process. We show that PTB/hnRNP I is required for remodeling of the interaction between Vg1 RNA and Vg1RBP/vera. Critically, mutations that block this remodeling event also eliminate vegetal localization of the RNA, suggesting that RNP remodeling is required for localization.
Multiple Kinesin Motors Coordinate Cytoplasmic RNA Transport on a Subpopulation of Microtubules in Xenopus Oocytes

RNA localization is a widely conserved mechanism for generating cellular asymmetry. In Xenopus oocytes, microtubule-dependent transport of RNAs to the vegetal cortex underlies germ layer patterning. Although kinesin motors have been implicated in this process, the apparent polarity of the microtubule cytoskeleton has pointed instead to roles for minus-end-directed motors. To resolve this issue, we have analyzed participation of kinesin motors in vegetal RNA transport and identified a direct role for Xenopus kinesin-1. Moreover, in vivo interference and biochemical experiments reveal a key function for multiple motors, specifically kinesin-1 and kinesin-2, and suggest that these motors may interact during transport. Critically, we have discovered a subpopulation of microtubules with plus ends at the vegetal cortex, supporting roles for these kinesin motors in vegetal RNA transport. These results provide a new mechanistic basis for understanding directed RNA transport within the cytoplasm.
Visualization of MRNA Localization in Xenopus Oocytes
Methods in Molecular Biology (Clifton, N.J.). 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21431735
Visualization of in vivo mRNA localization provides a tool for understanding steps in the mechanism of transport. Here we detail a method of fluorescently labeling mRNA transcripts and microinjecting them into Xenopus laevis oocytes followed with imaging by confocal microscopy. This technique overcomes a significant hurdle of imaging RNA in the frog oocyte while providing a rapid method of visualizing mRNA localization in high resolution.
Molecular Motors: Directing Traffic During RNA Localization
Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Jun, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21476929
RNA localization, the enrichment of RNA in a specific subcellular region, is a mechanism for the establishment and maintenance of cellular polarity in a variety of systems. Ultimately, this results in a universal method for spatially restricting gene expression. Although the consequences of RNA localization are well-appreciated, many of the mechanisms that are responsible for carrying out polarized transport remain elusive. Several recent studies have illuminated the roles that molecular motor proteins play in the process of RNA localization. These studies have revealed complex mechanisms in which the coordinated action of one or more motor proteins can act at different points in the localization process to direct RNAs to their final destination. In this review, we discuss recent findings from several different systems in an effort to clarify pathways and mechanisms that control the directed movement of RNA.
