"Satan is an anagram for Sanat Kumara, who in the esoteric philosophy of India is the promethean being who gave mankind the fire of self-conscious and independent, individual behavior."
Excellent;... St. Paul's was rebuilt by Christopher Wren after the Great fire of 1666 (1+666?)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Christopher_WrenWren's apprentice was Nicholas Hawksmoor:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_HawksmoorNicholas Hawksmoor (probably 1661 – 25 March 1736) was a British architect born in Nottinghamshire, probably in East Drayton....It was probably 1678 or 1679 when Hawksmoor joined Wren. He was probably unpaid at first. His first official post was as Deputy Surveyor to Wren at the Royal Hospital Chelsea form 1683 until February 1685.[4] Hawksmoor's signature appears on a brickmaker's contract for Winchester Palace in November 1684....From about 1684 to about 1700, Hawksmoor worked with Christopher Wren on projects including Chelsea Hospital, St. Paul's Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace and Greenwich Hospital. Thanks to Wren's influence as Surveyor-General, Hawksmoor was named Clerk of the Works at Kensington Palace (1689) and Deputy Surveyor of Works at Greenwich (1705). ...In 1713, Hawksmoor was commissioned to complete King's College, Cambridge...But the college that had invested heavily in the South Sea Company (the slave trade/sugar plantations) lost their money when the 'bubble' burst in 1720. The result was that Hawksmoor's scheme would never be executed,...But here's the point:Hawksmoor is the subject of a poem by Iain Sinclair called 'Nicholas Hawksmoor: His Churches' which appeared in Sinclair's collection of poems Lud Heat (1975). Sinclair argued that Hawksmoor's churches formed a pattern consistent with the forms of Theistic Satanism. This idea was developed by Peter Ackroyd. In his novel Hawksmoor (1985) the historical Hawksmoor is refigured as the fictional Devil-worshiper Nicholas Dyer, while the eponymous Hawksmoor is a twentieth-century detective charged with investigating a series of murders perpertrated on Dyer's (Hawksmoor's) churches.Both Sinclair and Ackroyd's ideas in turn were further developed by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell in their graphic novel, From Hell, which speculated that Jack the Ripper used Hawksmoor's buildings as part of ritual magic, with his victims as human sacrifice. In the appendix, Moore revealed that he had met and spoke with Sinclair on numerous occasions while developing the core ideas of the book. The argument includes the idea that the locations of the churches form a pentagram with ritual significance.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theistic_SatanismTheistic Satanism, sometimes referred to as Traditional Satanism, Spiritual Satanism or Devil Worship, is a form of Satanism with the primary belief that Satan is an actual deity or force to revere or worship.[1][2] Other characteristics of Theistic Satanism may include a belief in magic, which is manipulated through ritualhttp://www.tumblr.com/tagged/occult+fiction...If you take a map of London and mark out the six churches and two obelisks you can comfortably draw an 'Eye of Horus' by joining up the dots. The name 'Hawks - moor' the hawk being the bird of Horus and the term 'moor' being the old fashioned name for one of north African (Berber), or Middle Eastern background. Horus is the child of Osiris (fertility), and Isis (magic) and his eyes represent both sun and moon. Both orbs are connected with the death-rebirth motif.http://www.forteantimes.com/features/articles/2350/city_of_symbols.html....THE DEVIL'S ARCHITECT Christopher Wren is remembered as the chief architect of modern London, but his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor towers above him in occult circles thanks to his 12 churches built in accordance with the 1711 Act. These made a break from the traditional Gothic style and introduced a new and alien geometric vocabulary of obelisks, pyramids and cubes. His supposedly morbid interest in pagan cultures and pre-Christian worship have helped darken his reputation. Hawksmoor's churches are based on a layout of intersecting axes and rectangles, which he described as being based on the "rules of the Ancients". His work borrows from Egypt, Greece and Rome – all revered by the Freemasons – and often in a grand manner. The nave of St George's Bloomsbury church is a perfect cube, with a tower in the shape of a pyramid. Seven of the keystones are decorated with flames, the eighth bears the Hebrew name of God inside a triangular plaque surrounded by a sunburst; the symbolism of this is obscure. Hawksmoor's St Mary Woolnoth is based on the idea of a cube within a cube. This has represented the squaring of the circle from ancient times, which takes us back to the ideal proportions of Leonardo's Vitruvian Man… and, of course, the Freemasons. [2] But it is the alignment of Hawksmoor's churches as much as their architecture that has provoked speculation, starting with the writer Iain Sinclair's book-length prose-poem Lud Heat in 1975. This describes how Hawksmoor's churches form regular triangles and pentacles, and "guard, mark or rest upon" the city's sources of occult power. Sinclair even provides maps to prove the alignments, which are a clear sign of Hawksmoor's true Satanic affiliation. Sinclair was the first to connect Hawksmoor's churches with some of the most shocking crimes in London's history – the now largely forgotten Ratcliffe Highway murders of 1811 and Jack the Ripper's killing spree in 1888. Sinclair suggests that the malign influence of Christ Church, Spitalfields, is so great that it attracts dark acts of violence to its vicinity.

Only a couple of references to the 2012 date equivalency have been found carved in stone at Mayan sites, and neither refers to an apocalypse, experts say.Such apocalyptic visions have been common for more than 1,000 years in Western, Christian thinking, and are not native to Mayan thought."This is thinking that, in truth, has nothing to do with Mayan culture," said Alexander Voss, an anthropologist at the University Of Quintana Roo, a state on Mexico's Caribbean coast. "This thing about looking for end-times is not something that comes from Mayan culture."
'Monolith' Object on Mars? You Could Call It Thathttp://news.yahoo.com/monolith-object-mars-could-call-214004772.htmlAmateur stargazers have discovered an intriguing object jutting out from the surface of Mars. The seemingly perfectly rectangular, upright structure, found in NASA images of the Red Planet, bears a striking resemblance to the monoliths planted on Earth and the moon by aliens in the classic sci-fi film "2001: A Space Odyssey."The object in question was first spotted several years ago after being photographed by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a NASA space probe; every so often, it garners renewed interest on the Internet. But is it unnatural — a beacon erected by aliens for mysterious reasons, and even more mysteriously paralleled in the imaginations of Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, creators of "2001"? Or is this rock the work of nature?Anybody know why I find this significant?

A new documentary about Mayan civilization will provide evidence of extraterrestrial contact with the ancient culture, according to a Mexican government official and the film's producer."Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond," currently in production, will claim the Mayans had contact with extraterrestrials, producer Raul Julia-Levy revealed to TheWrap."Mexico will release codices, artifacts and significant documents with evidence of Mayan and extraterrestrial contact, and all of their information will be corroborated by archaeologists," said Julia-Levy, son of actor Raul Julia. In a release to TheWrap, Luis Augusto Garcia Rosado, the minister of tourism for the Mexican state of Campeche, said new evidence has emerged "of contact between the Mayans and extraterrestrials, supported by translations of certain codices, which the government has kept secure in underground vaults for some time."

THINGS WERE DIFFERENT in 2008, the year Proposition 8 passed in California and limited the definition of marriage to a man and a woman. Back then there was no Glee, we didn't know what a Modern Family was, and there was no Renly Baratheon on Game of Thrones (or an openly gay version of him in the George R. R. Martin novels). Back in 1996, when the Defense of Marriage Act passed, there were even fewer images of gay and lesbian characters in mainstream media and Batwoman had yet to come out of the closet. Now it's 2013, and yesterday's Supreme Court decisions about DOMA and Prop 8 have paved new roads for same-sex marriage–roads that were both measured by and shaped by the positive gay characters that began to emerge in mainstream media throughout the last several decades.

This MILF Hunter threesome with Sovereign Syre and Shae Summers was one for the ages. Levi and Shae were working out in the park when this episode opened up. Shae was looking good in some tight workout clothes, and those big teen tits were mesmerizing. They'd spotted Sovereign in the park, and she was looking too good to pass on. Her booty was out of this world, and Shae and Levi both wanted a piece of this sweet MILF. They approached her, and she explained how her trainer had left her high and dry in the park.
After an invite to workout together, Sovereign was game, and they all headed back to the house. There Shae started making out with her. The ladies caressed each other down and sucked each others pussies. It was some insanely hot lesbian action. Then Levi jumped in. Sovereign and Shae both sucked his cock at the same time. He got so sprung and horny, he pounded those snatches like a wild man until he had them both orgasming. The girls pitched in to get each other off too, and they'll be doing the same for you.

My work might spark from the enlightening words of a friend, teacher or writing prompt. At other times, I am sitting in a very still space and The words I should write come to me like a powerful and glowing wind.

On that occasion, United went on to claim the first of three successive Premier League titles.
And with United now 10 points ahead of Manchester City, who entertain Liverpool tomorrow, and a massive 16 clear of third-placed Chelsea, it is hard to see the outcome being any different this season.
"It was similar to when we played here a few years ago when Cristiano scored near the end and we went on to have an undefeated run after that," Ferguson said. "It was around the same time too.
"It was well taken and Rooney was unlucky before that, hitting the post and having a couple of shots saved by the goalkeeper."
Manchester United struck the woodwork three times before they were forced off the field just before half-time due to a floodlight failure.
The delay lasted less than 10 minutes but the visitors were never the same afterwards and Fulham could easily have claimed a shock win.
Their hopes were dashed 11 minutes from time when they got in a muddle trying to deal with a long punt downfield, which Rooney seized upon to curl home his 13th goal of the season, and 10th in as many games.
Fulham manager Martin Jol believes United will go on and lift the title after claiming all three points at Craven Cottage despite a good performance from the home side.
"We did well in midfield and at the back," Jol said. "It was one of our better performances this season.
"But they are capable of creating something out of nothing, as Rooney did. Now, I think they will win it."
Fulham suffered an injury blow with the loss of key defender Brede Hangeland to an Achilles injury.
"Hopefully it is not a long one," added Jol, who did not feel the floodlight failure had much effect on the outcome.
"We did well to get the lights on again. Normally it takes a long time. I feared when we came back our concentration was down and we would end up conceding a goal but it wasn't a problem."
A record 20th championship is not looking like much of a problem to United either.
There was even a rare positive display from David de Gea, who responded well to his recent troubles with a succession of saves when Fulham threatened to seize the initiative.
"It's not fazed him, for sure," Ferguson said of the recent criticism. "He enjoyed this game tonight.
"We've said that to him – (goalkeeping coach) Eric Steele in particular – to enjoy playing here.
"It's a challenge and it's not easy for a young goalkeeper, but he's enjoyed tonight."

Poor Slick. I wish he found a girlfriend, but since Tat hasn't given him any permanent character growth, and girls won't date a slightly pervy man-child (given the current mood of the comic)
I disagree completely on both those sentences. I know why you would think that and it makes some sense, but I don't think that it's true.
On one hand, Slick has changed A LOT. He went from a wannabe pimp that doesn't hesitate to sell his soul in order to obtain superficial things like meaningless sex, to a kinda insecure man that really tries to be a better person (mostly for his friends) and is in desperate need of a sentimental relationship, since he knows that it's something really missing in his life.
On the other hand, I do think that he has dating potential as he is now, but he's his own biggest obstacle since he does absolutely not think that. Check the fact that in the past he didn't hesitate to hit on random strangers, but at this point he probably got tired of rejection and decided that he probably didn't have it in him. That's probably the reason why he is 'cheating' his way into a relationship.
Reader1 stated that Slick's theme as a character is the battle between good and evil. I think he is right, but we can't ignore his other theme: The fruitless search for love.
Slick has always been "an insecure man in desperate need of a sentimental relationship, since he knew that it's something really missing in his life". He did the pimp thing because he thought that women would dig that, and because it helped to reinforce his weak self-steem.
He has mostly stopped doing the pimp-thing because it doesn't work, he knows women don't dig it, and it no longer helps his lack of self-steem, but he hasn't learned anything knew, leaving him sad, without confidence and without hope. He tried to use the wrong tool to do the job, but now he doesn't have any tool and he doesn't even try.
As for the soul-selling thing, he just has learned that it's a bad idea: The devil doesn't upheld his part of the deal. And I don't really like the devil twin thing...that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Slick has kind of hit a wall: It seems that Tat doesn't know what to do with him, but he doesn't dare to kill him because he used to be the main character and many people would be upset.
Let's go by parts. Clarification: This is just my interpretation and I might be wrong.
Slick wasn't desperate for love back then. He was desperate for sex. Tremendously different thing.
I really believe that he honestly thought of himself as a pimp. He wasn't really a "poser." He was confident in his own style. Not anymore.
"leaving him sad, without confidence and without hope. He tried to use the wrong tool to do the job, but now he doesn't have any tool and he doesn't even try." Do you think that is not learning anything new? That's a character turning point right there! Also as I said, I think that as he is now Slick does have the tools. He became a really good man that cares for his friends. Why do you think that he got an evil side? He was worthy of such a thing. The problem is that he doesn't KNOW about his tools. Realizing this would really change the character, even if I don't think that it would happen anytime soon.
I don't think that the not selling the soul to the devil thing is just him realizing that it was not going anywhere. He wants a relationship that he can get on his own and that would truly care for him. If you don't think that this strip is enough evidence check the one where he almost got a date with 'Nique and told the Devil that he wasn't needed anymore. That was both amazing and badass.
Most importantly, though, as a writer myself (not professional but very frequent) I can tell you that it's not a very nice thing to be told "the reason why you don't kill this character is because someone else would get pissed." If you even imagine that you could be wrong (I can imagine it well enough) don't write that. We have everything short of a direct confirmation that Tat reads this forum, even if he chooses not to write here.
EDIT: If you answer this please don't quote me. The quoting thing occupies a lot of space at this point

Maybe you are right. I just hope he does something with Slick, throw a bone at him or something. I'm tired of watching the poor little man being miserable and hopeless, I would like for something good to happen to him now and then.

See, what I get from this is that Slick was enjoying himself with his ersatz girlfriend until he listened to one word flung in his direction by a casual drive-by hater--who, it should be noted, had no such companion for herself, robotic or otherwise--whereupon he took action that resulted in his happiness fleeing from him in some sort of "reality" that has nothing to do with where Slick actually lives.
The moral of the story? That there is no story with a moral that can't be deliberately twisted to eventually mean exactly the opposite of the author's intent.

Did someone say "Jack-Spicer" + "Chameleon-Bot" fan-fiction?
If so, then I approve. Jack Spicer is sad and evil only in the mirror-world.
What's Xanthe? Is that the name of the tricycle or the name of the oppressive authority figure that rides the tricycle as if it was some some sort of slave to her and her wet, oceanic divinity?
Property needs maintenance rights too.

The amount of people bemoaning "poor lonely slick" seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that the instant the robot woman is given the chance to consent she runs. the fuck. away.
So to recap for the truly slow of thought. She was conscious in the beginning of the strip* and she was completely incapable of saying no to him.
That's creepy as fuck.
*how else would she still be a person and not a hunk of metal in the reality zone?

Ya'know, snarky Japanese otaku jokes aside, I was wondering the same thing. I mean, there's some pretty serious, pretty fucked up implications here. Tat's sayin' some deep shit with this and it seems to sadly be flying over a lot of people's heads.

The explanation of sexual reproduction. In old fashioned times people were embarrased to discuss sex let alone tell children. So they used Mother nature as a metaphor to portray sex as a natural thing and not a crime punishable by eternal damnation.
"Now Philip, It's your fortieth birthday and I feel you are ready to know about the birds and the bees.."
by Container October 12, 2003
The explanation of sex usually coming from a parent to a son or daughter.
Mom, do we really have to talk about the birds and the bees?
by Jeff October 08, 2003
noun. 1. pertaining to two types of winged animals, known for their contrary mating habits. 2. metaphor - pertaining to the delicate time in a young man's life when he begins to notice females in a 'special way,' seeing them not as harbingers of cooties, but as 'totally wordboneable.' Specifically, it refers to the courtship and love-making act commonly engaged in while in the backseat of his father's Buick.
1. "It must be spring," cried Billy. "Look at all the birds and the bees!" 2. "Son, you are coming of age now, and, well, um, I think we need to have 'The Talk.' You know, about the birds and the bees," said Father.
"Aww shit," thought Son. "I wish I were wasted right now."
"Aww shit," thought Son. "I wish I were wasted right now."
by Mike Garee October 12, 2003
slang term used often by parents to explain sex. the bee is the male becuase of his stinger (being the males penis) and the bird is the woman getting stung (or fucked).
I told Sarah today about the birds and the bees. But she still dosnt understand sex.
by Sex Ed. Teacher October 07, 2003
The explanation of sex to a young person; usually delivered by his/her parents.
by Joey October 12, 2003
How parents explain interspecies relations to little children in a non-frightening way. Especially important to let the young understand the danger of unwanted pregnancy in same-species sex.
Little Johnny's interested in girls, we better tell him about the birds and the bees so he understands why we shag sheep.
by calandale November 17, 2014
The euphonism your parents used when they told you about the hibbly-jibbly.
Last night I learned all about the birds and the bees.

Raiders sack Dugan, Ferguson fined
The Canberra Raiders board of directors met today to determine the future of Josh Dugan and Blake Ferguson at the club, following a number of breaches of club policy.
As a result of the meeting the board decided to terminate the contract of Josh Dugan effective immediately.
Blake Ferguson will remain at the club, but is stood down from playing with the Raiders indefinitely.
Ferguson will be required to continue counselling he was currently undertaking, until he has shown satisfactory progress to the clubs coaching staff and management before he is reinstated. Ferguson has also received a suspended fine of $10,000.
Raiders CEO Don Furner said the decision to terminate Dugan's contract comes after a number of breaches.
"After being presented with a number of breaches in club policy by Josh the board decided that they had no choice but to terminate his NRL contract," Furner said. "The Club must take into account our players, members and Sponsors and the damage to our clubs brand.
"Blake Ferguson will remain with the club, but will be stood down from playing until he has shown progress in a number of areas."

BDTI Benchmark results confirm that the ARM1136J-S processor achieves 25 percent better performance than the competition
CAMBRIDGE, UK – May 16, 2005 – ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)] today announced the availability of the full BDTI Benchmark™ scores for the ARM1136J-S™ processor. When compared to the nearest competitive solution, the ARM1136J-S processor shows a 25 percent better performance even at a lower clock speed.
"The ARM1136J-S processor has class-leading signal-processing speed. A preliminary analysis of BDTI Benchmark results showed that at 350 MHz, the ARM1136J-S processor is approximately 25 percent faster than a 370 MHz MIPS 24Kc processor with the DSP ASE extensions," said John Cornish, director, Product Marketing, ARM.
The ARM1136J-S processor certified results and the competitor comparison have been produced by Berkeley Design Technology, Inc (BDTI), a trusted industry resource for independent competitor analysis.The BDTI Benchmarks are a de facto industry standard for benchmarking processor signal processing performance. The BDTI Benchmarks are a suite of 12 algorithm kernels which represent key signal processing operationsfound in today's voice, audio and video codecs, which are independently developed and verified by BDTI.
TheARM1136J-S processor achieved a BDTIsimMark2000™score of 1230 at 350MHz.The table below shows the benchmark results of the ARM1136J-S processorcompared to the preliminary benchmarks results for the MIPS 24Kc processor with DSP ASE extensions, announced earlier this year.

*Preliminary analysis of the MIPS 24Kc processor with DSP ASE, and relative performance comparison shown here are based on average speed for four simple benchmarks. These results may not be representative of performance on more complex tasks. The results for all cores are based on worst-case clock speeds for the TSMC CL013G process. Results© 2005 BDTI.
"BDTI's independent performance benchmarking results clearly show that the ARM11 processor family outperforms the competition," said Cornish. "The ARM11 processor family has a leading position in the mobile and home entertainment markets; it delivers the highest levels of performance and power efficiency at comparable die area."
The ARM11 processor family delivers up to 550MHz of performance with die area as low as 2.2 mm2 and power as low as 0.24 mW/MHz using 130nm foundry processes. The ARM11 processor family has achieved some 30 licenses, with companies such as Freescale, LSI Logic, Broadcom and Texas Instruments and is supported by the ARM® Connected Community of more than 300 third-party software, tools and systems companies.
The ARM11 processor family targets a broad range of consumer markets andintroduces new technologies to address the needs of emerging applications. These new technologies include SIMD for media processing, Thumb®-2 core technology to enhance code efficiency, TrustZone™ technology for security, Intelligent Energy Manager (IEM) and multi-processing for systems that require very high and scalable levels of performance to over 2,600 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS. The ARM11 family includes the ARM1136J(F)-S™ processor, the ARM1156T2(F)-S™ processor, the ARM1176JZ(F)-S™ processor and the ARM11 MPCore™ multiprocessor.

The political troubles in Zimbabwe have taken a toll on the population's health. A severe cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe and the surrounding region including South Africa, Angola, and Mozambique continues to claims more lives. The situation is critical.
Many people are struggling to get clean water and enough food. The cholera epidemic seems to be gathering new momentum. Figures released by the WHO show a massive increase from a "cumulative total of 48 623 cases and 2 755 deaths, with an overall fatality rate of 5.7 per cent".
According to the Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) in a report released last week the cholera outbreak is fuelled by the collapse of Zimbabwe's health, water, and sanitation systems. The report points out that the decline in the nation's health care system is "exacerbating the country's HIV/AIDS epidemic." The increased efforts to treat cholera and other infectious diseases present an "acute" threat to inpatients AIDS care in Zimbabwe says Dr David Sanders who was part of the PHR team.

The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer SE is an affordable and safe all-wheel drive compact sedan with an EPA rating of 29 miles per gallon on the highway. The Lancer SE competes against the big boys in a crowded segment and it refuses to get pushed around.
It may not be the most refined vehicle in its class, but it earns a "Top Safety Pick" award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and it starts at $15,995.
Of course, that price tag is for the base FWD model with a 5-speed manual transmission, a model that fewer buyers will select.
Our tested SE trim with AWC (all-wheel control) topped $21-grand, which still makes it friendly to lots of family budgets.
The upper end of the Lancer trim has an awful got a lot going for it. A quick recap shows you can get the "Top Safety Pick" all-wheel drive Lancer SE with a premium package for $21,845 plus freight. Parents, are you paying attention?
The base trims (DE and ES) of the Lancer get a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with 148 horsepower. The SE AWC and the GT get a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder that ups the horsepower ante to 168. The SE AWC gets a CVT transmission, while the GT gets a 5-speed manual with the CVT as an option. The top of the line Lancer Ralliart has a turbocharged 4-cylinder with 237 horsepower.
We have not tested the 2.0-liter offerings, but the 2.4-liter engine took everything we threw at it. It was quick off the line, and had sufficient power to hang with faster traffic in the left lane of the Interstate. We're not a huge fan of CVT transmissions – they tend to make the
engine sound buzzy and overworked, even though it isn't. But CVTs are better on fuel economy than regular automatic transmissions, and they're another way that carmakers are trying to meet increasing fleet fuel economy numbers mandated by Uncle Sam.
On the road, our test Lancer handled nicely, with scant body roll. Steering was superb – linear and with good road feedback.
We had beautiful sunshine during our week with the test vehicle. We're certainly not complaining about that, but we would have liked to see how the AWC performed on slippery roads during the rains of mid-
The switch from 2-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive is accomplished by a driver-controlled button on the center console.
Inside, the Lancer is utilitarian and simple. Not much fuss, not much clutter. There are three large knobs for climate control, controls for the sound system and a narrow multi-
information display in the top center of the dash.
A round tachometer and a round speedometer are the dominant gauges behind the steering wheel.
Cloth seats felt durable, and manual seat adjustments were easy to use. There was plenty of headroom and legroom for my 6-foot-1 frame. Even the back seats had generous room for a small sedan.
The Lancer gets decent mileage, it handles well and it gets top safety marks, and most people will find its style attractive and sporty.
But when you open and close the doors of the Lancer, it sounds tinny. Some road and wind noises filter into the cabin, and from the trunk, you can see light between the 60/40 rear seatbacks.
The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer SE AWC has heated seats, automatic headlights, rear heater floor ducts, and a CD/MP3 player, but it only has pre-wiring for Bluetooth, and no USB ports.
The premium package adds a power sunroof, an upgraded Rockford Fosgate sound system, SiriusXM Satellite radio and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
New for 2013 are accommodations for a Thule plug-in roof carrier, 16-inch alloy wheels and an available premium package.
Although the vehicle could use more connectivity and soundproofing
materials, we think the Lancer SE AWC presents good value for the money.
Once again, never underestimate the value of all-wheel drive. It's a
tremendous safety feature, and it's standard in the 2013 Mitsubishi
Lancer SE trim.
2013 Mitsubishi Lancer SE AWC
- Engine: 2.4-liter 4-cylinder
- Horsepower: 168
- Transmission: CVT
- Test model base price: $20,295 ($21,845 as tested, plus freight)
- EPA Mileage Rating: 22 mpg city / 29 mpg highway

The Beckham Boys @ Soccer Practice
Victoria Beckham takes her three sons — Brooklyn, 8, Romeo, 4, and Cruz, 2 — to play soccer on Tuesday at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, Calif.
Brooklyn and Romeo were introduced to the youth coach in charge of The ReaL So Cal Soccer Club.
The Beckham boys showed off their soccer skills they inherited from his famous father.
Brooklyn wore his support for Becks by wearing a "David Beckham Academy" t-shirt, Romeo wore Nike Basketball gear, and Cruz wore a Dodgers outfit. (Vix threw out the first pitch for the Dodgers last month.)
Posh also wore a very similar off-the-shoulder grey ensemble back in February while house hunting in Los Angeles. She sure looks weird without the blonde bob now!

(Reuters) - The White House will closely examine Russia's offer to work with Syria to put its chemical weapons under international control but the U.S. Congress should still back military action to keep pressure on Damascus, a top aide said on Monday.
"We want to take a hard look at the proposal," deputy national security advisor Tony Blinken told reporters. "We'll obviously discuss the idea with the Russians. And, of course, we would welcome a decision and action by Syria to give up its chemical weapons."
Russia, a key ally to Syria, broached the idea on Monday as a way to avert military strikes that President Barack Obama has said are needed to hold the Syrian government accountable for killing more than 1,400 people in an August 21 chemical weapons attack.
Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem told reporters he welcomed the proposal.
Blinken sounded a note of skepticism, saying Russia had repeatedly blocked efforts at the United Nations to deal with Syria's chemical weapons stockpile, and noting that Syria's government had refused to sign a treaty to prohibit their use.
Securing the stockpile "would certainly take time, resources, and probably a peaceful environment," Blinken said. Blinken said the administration had not had a chance to discuss the offer with Russia.
The offer came two days ahead of a vote in the U.S. Senate on authorizing military force. It is uncertain if there will be enough votes to pass the measure.
Obama and his aides have mounted a big public campaign to build support in Congress and among the American people weary after a decade of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and wary of being drawn into Syria's civil war.
"It's important to note that this proposal comes in the context of the threat of U.S. action and the pressure that the president is exerting," Blinken told reporters.
"So it is even more important that we don't take the pressure off and that Congress give the president the authority he's requested," he said.

In This Issue:
In June, the nation's leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts in America, Americans for the Arts, released Arts and Economic Prosperity IV, a national study that included 182 communities - representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This study shows that Broward County's arts and culture industry grew by 50 percent in the period from 2005 - 2010, generating $230 million in economic activity. Broward County's nonprofit arts and culture industry generated $230 million in local economic activity, a number that is comprised of $103 million in direct spending by nonprofit organizations and $127 million in event-related spending by audiences. This total number supports 6,402 full-time-equivalent jobs, generates $157 million in household income to local residents, and delivers $21.9 million in local and state government revenue. The study also confirms that an arts and cultural visitor spends an average of $34.60 in audience participation, while a resident spends an average of $21.63. This highlights the importance of the cultural tourist.
"An example of event-related spending works like this: A couple purchases two tickets to the opera. They pay a babysitter to watch their children. They drive to a local restaurant and buy dinner. Then they drive to the theater and pay to park, and during intermission they purchase a beverage. The average expenditure is $26 on arts and culture events and this does not include the price of admission," says Mary A. Becht, Director, Broward Cultural Division.
Broward County Cultural Division's portfolio of services includes: county-wide public information; community cultural planning; financial and marketing incentives; capacity-building technical assistance for artists and cultural organizations; micro-credit program and artist fellowships; pre-development and investment in cultural facilities (ArtServe's arts incubator, ArtsParks and Artist Lofts); arts education; urban design and county facility enhancement through the Public Art & Design Program.Click here to download Broward County's Arts & Economic Prosperity IV study.

Is Organic Worth the Price?
June 4, 2013
Have you wondered about whether the added cost of eating organic is worth the price? Here are some points to keep in mind. First, what soil they are grown in. Conventional agriculture essentially uses the ground to prop up the plant and adds chemical fertilizers to make it grow. These fertilizers have known toxins that burn the soil and kill the microorganisms that are essential to soil and plant health. Organic farmers, on the other hand, treat the soil as a valuable part of their business. They actually put in plants that nourish the soil while they grow and add compost which also includes nutrients.
Another aspect is weed and pest control. Conventional farmers use toxic chemical treatments to get rid of these. The consumer has to wash produce carefully to avoid ingesting them. Organic farmers use natural methods that don't contaminate your food. (You still have to wash produce.) Other things to consider are water and air pollution. Conventional farming chemicals pollute both while organic methods do not.
And finally, there are the issues of biodiversity and genetically engineered seeds. The seeds used by conventional farmers are licensed by Monsanto and are designed to resist herbicides. They can thus out-compete organic seeds leading to less biodiversity.
So, your health, the health of a precious and irreplaceable resource (soil), and impacts that last indefinitely are what is at stake. The benefits of eating organic are many.

Preparation and Cooking
Food prep and cooking lie at the very heart of a HACCP plan, so getting these parts right is essential—and at times a bit tricky.
The design of a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program ensures that operators have adequately identified proper hazards. After that, the plan must specify what control measures are to be put in place. Experts indicate that most critical control points (CCPs) are going to apply to cooking or chilling and holding temperatures.
Once the HACCP plan is properly written, the correct CCPs identified and the other necessary parts of the program—critical-limits monitoring, corrective action, record keeping and verification—in place, the second-greatest challenge in most foodservice operations is training those staff members who are going to be responsible for monitoring and verification.
"That's the biggest issue," says Jeff Chilton, president of Chilton Consulting Services in Rocky Face, Georgia, "making sure the individuals who have those responsibilities…understand exactly the details of the contents of the HACCP plan and what's required. Of course, they must also adequately perform them on a regular basis as required."
Is it HACCP? One concern that directly affects prep and cooking is that many operators and employees alike aren't aware that things like hand-washing and overall personal hygiene—which aren't as easily quantifiable as so many other HACCP tasks—are nonetheless essential to the success of a food safety program.
"Time and temperature would be at the top of anybody's list" of critical food safety issues, says veteran food safety consultant John Manoush, president of Manoush Associates, LLC, in Raymond, Maine. "The next thing in foodservice—and it's not rocket science—is hand-washing."
"It is a problem," Chilton concedes. "Those things certainly are part of the overall food safety system. Typically those types of items are part of prerequisite programs. If you look at your total food safety system, it's made up of a combination of those prerequisite programs, your sanitation procedures and your HACCP system. You can't have an effective food safety system without all three of those items being in place. So while items like hand-washing may not get the attention or the documentation of a critical control point in a HACCP plan, they are certainly equally important within the overall food safety system."
The most obvious essential component of food prep is, in fact, personal hygiene, says John Zimmerman, senior director of quality assurance and food safety for Sodexho. This is directly related to the elimination of any cross-contamination opportunities. "It includes the use of proper cutting boards, how to prep vegetables, pre-washing produce, proper cook times for food items, etc."
Problem No. 1: Manoush calls hand-washing "probably the biggest thing that foodservice people struggle with. From a HACCP point of view, you look at what (will) have the greatest possibility of causing harm to consumers. Other than not cooking to or holding at the proper temperature, transmitting organisms to the food by unclean hands is probably the chief problem, and the hardest one to control."
A HACCP plan is "really best when you're talking about things that can be monitored and controlled, like with a number," Manoush adds. "Hand-washing is one of those things that is sort of a general requirement." In a typical foodservice environment, he laments, "you have so many people in and out, and you don't have policemen standing there. So that is a very difficult one, and is usually only attained by continued training and reinforcement."
It is, Manoush concedes, "really rare to have any other HACCP points besides time and temperature." Foreign materials control is a big topic in food manufacturing, with metal detectors and filters. In foodservice, though, "it usually comes back to time and temperature."
Of the two, he adds, holding times is the bigger issue today. "Cooking to a given temperature is, in my experience, observed fairly well. I don't see as many mistakes in that area. But holding at an improper temperature" continues to plague many institutional and commercial operators.
When it comes to fixing that problem, "The name of the game is really training, training, training and retraining," says Manoush, "and it's the hardest one because of the turnover. But it is still the cornerstone of (safe) food prep and cooking."
On prep: The challenge in food prep is to maintain product temperature below or equal to 41°F while handling. Cooking temperatures, of course, vary according to the type of product being cooked, and are defined in the recently updated (2005) FDA Food Code. "If it's just vegetables, then maybe the temperature is in the 145°F range," says Chilton. "If it's meat then you're going to be up at 165°F."
Chilton, who has designed and implemented HACCP plans for hospitals and other foodservice operations, points out that prep and holding assume increased importance when serving product on buffet tables.
"You need to be sure it is being held at 140°F or higher to minimize any possibility of pathogen growth," says Chilton. "Secondly, you need to make certain that food that's going to be left over is properly chilled back down and then adequately reheated before use."
At Sodexho, HACCP systems are maintained, and its procedures reinforced, through ongoing communication with on-site personnel via the company's intranet. It features a food safety page with a plethora of resources, tools and regulatory updates. More than 14,000 Sodexho managers regularly access the intranet.
For the records: Sodexho also has made electronic record-keeping a priority in its HACCP program. The company uses a proprietary software program that is, in effect, a paperless temperature documentation device. It can also be used to conduct self-inspections, with log forms and Web-based menu selections. "You can customize and download off of the intranet," notes Zimmerman, who is based in Nashville, Tenn.
A relatively new, four-part video training series called Inspector HACCP drills procedures home, as do enhanced and downloadable interactive training modules called Walk the Talk. These are 10-minute, one-on-one training sessions designed for unit staffers.
Sodexho's disaster preparedness program emphasizes having inventory on hand, such as potable water, and back-up generators for refrigerators and freezers. Another part, says Zimmerman, involves helping managers "make good decisions after a disaster in regard to disposal of items and disinfectant. This ultimately impacts food prep and cooking."

SOURCE: 1st NRG Corp.
January 06, 2014 09:00 ET
DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Jan 6, 2014) - 1st NRG Corp. (OTC Pink: FNRC), an exploration and production company currently developing and producing coal bed methane reserves (CBM) in Wyoming.
1st NRG Corp. (FNRC) is pleased to announce the start of development on eight locations in Wyoming's Powder River Basin where we hold 100% of the working interest before payout. These shallow locations are approximately 1,900 feet in depth, and characterized by what we believe to be low geologic risk and a repeatable development opportunity. The operations offset existing wells, all of which have developed coal seams in the Schwartz, Anderson, Canyon, Cook and Wall formations. Successful implementation of this plan would significantly increase FNRC production and revenues. Mr. Kevin Norris CEO of the Company, stated during an interview with The Stock Radio, "The impact on 1st NRG is tremendous." We currently hold an approximate 3% working interest in existing wells and will initially own 100% of the offset development wells. The first well began drilling December 28th, 2013 and will continue as weather and equipment availability allow.
Our recent activity has been centered on the development at Clabaugh Ranch, a CBM field located in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. We acquired our interest in the 42 wells which currently make up the field. Commodity prices of natural gas have improved, and with renewed maintenance and repairs field wide gross production has increased approximately 50% to over 800 MCFD.
Also, our previously announced participation in development of prospective acreage in SE Ohio with Utica Shale potential on an initial block of acreage encompassing approximately 7,000 acres continues. The Utica shale is an exciting play and continues to grow with 106 Utica wells drilling in 2013 compared to 21 Utica wells in 2012. The State of Ohio has issued 1,033 permits for horizontal drilling in the Utica since 2009, and 548 of those permits were issued in 2013. The number of wells producing from the Utica has also increased from 45 in 2012 to 249 in 2013. 1st NRG will not operate in Ohio, but will be carried in the initial vertical test well and participate in future development with a 20% working interest. In January 2014 we expect the initial location and the drilling plan for the test well. The Company expects the test well of about 6,000 feet in depth, to be drilled in the first quarter of 2014.

Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey said today he plans obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon once a state law is passed.
LOVES PARK — Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey said today he plans obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon once a state law is passed.
Morrissey made the statement to express his support of concealed carry before a crowd of roughly 200 people packed wall-to-wall at Neighbors Bar & Grill for a town hall forum on pending legislation that would allow Illinois residents to carry concealed firearms.
"Any doubt that I might have had in my opinions about concealed carry when I first came into office changed quickly as I became an elected official and became very familiar with the types of crimes we're dealing with," Morrissey said. "The focus should not be against law-abiding citizens."
Morrissey said he has had three death threats since being elected. He said the Rockford Police Department has supported him with extra protection after those threats. For now, he said, he doesn't own a handgun. He wants the concealed carry license in case another threat emerges.
"I don't want to put my family's life at risk or my own life at risk if I can otherwise protect myself," Morrissey said.
Morrissey got an ovation from the crowd when he announced that he dropped out of an organization called Mayor's Against Illegal Guns, which has lobbied for gun-control measures.
"The reason why I joined the group in the first place was because I took the name for what it said, against illegal guns," Morrissey said.
Morrissey said he didn't expect the organization to get involved with banning magazine clips or "assault" weapons.
"As the original mission swayed, that's when I decided it was no longer in line with my beliefs," Morrissey said.
Rockford's gun registration may go away too. State Rep. John Cabello, R-Machesney Park, said the pending concealed carry law, which awaits Gov. Pat Quinn's signature, will prevent local governments from having gun registration.
I'll report more from this event with a full story on rrstar.com later today. Follow me on Facebook or Twitter for updates.

Totally Rational Prediction: Women Will Rule Cable TV in 2013
The new year always brings new hope, but I'm even more hopeful than normal this Jan. 2 about the 2013 television landscape. Could this finally be the year that, after more than a decade of prestige cable television dedicated to the anxieties of amoral, middle-aged men, women finally get their shot at star billing, both in front of the camera and behind it?
Women have always done well on cable comedies. Showtime built its brand on Weeds' drug dealer Nancy Botwin and The Big C's cancer patient Cathy Jamison. And this month, HBO is pairing up the Brooklyn twentysomethings of Girls with the midlife crisis of Enlightened's Amy Jellicoe. But female leads have always lagged behind in dramas. Homeland was a breakout in part because of its novel decision to make its main character a woman with a full sexual, mental, and professional life, rather than hitching female stars and stories to male main characters like Mad Men's Don Draper.
Now, it seems like the balance is about to shift. On Jan. 30, FX will premiere its drama The Americans, which features Keri Russell as a steely Soviet spy living and working deep undercover in suburban Washington, D.C. in 1981 under the alias Elizabeth Jennings. FX is also remaking The Bridge, originally a Danish and Swedish collaboration about the police forces of those two countries investigating the death of a woman whose body is found on the border between them: Diane Kruger will play the American detective, paired with Demian Bichir as Mexico's investigator. And then there's Showtime's upcoming Masters of Sex, a dramatization of the collaboration between sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson that's at least being billed as a star-making moment for Lizzy Caplan. These are all unusual opportunities for women to step into territory that's traditionally been dominated by men—for Kruger to take the role of top cop defined in this era of television by the men of The Wire or The Shield, for Caplan to be a visionary on a new frontier, like Al Swearengen was in Deadwood, or Walter White is in his meth kingdom on Breaking Bad.
It's no mistake that some of these roles were created by women. Michelle Ashford, who worked on the miniseries The Pacific and John Adams, is the creator of Masters of Sex. Meredith Stiehm, who created Cold Case and has been one of the lead writers on Homeland, is heading up The Bridge. And they're not only giving good roles to women. It's Ann Biderman, the creator of Southland, who cooked up Ray Donovan, the story of a Los Angeles fixer, that's actually part of Showtime's attempt to move away from a slate of shows dominated by female characters. (Imagine that!) Giving more women a chance to create their own shows isn't just about getting parity in roles. It's a chance to bring in new perspectives that can revitalize the tropes of the Golden Age of TV for men and women alike.
