Tamriel Infinium: The bizarre lore of the Hist in Elder Scrolls Online – and how it could matter in Mirkmire
What I would actually like to discuss today is the center of the Argonian religion and mythology: The Hist. It's hard to tell sometimes if the Hist is an actual god-like presence or if it is mythology built up by the Argonians. Maybe it's both. So if you're ready for a drug-induced trip into the core of Argonian culture, keep reading. But if you're not ready for what has to be the weirdest trip into Elder Scrolls lore, you might want to turn back now.

MACOMB, Ill. - Big plays and missed opportunities cost the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjack football team Saturday night at Hanson Field, as the `Jacks dropped a 34-14 decision to Western Illinois. SFA falls to 1-2 (.333) on the season.
WIU took the first lead of the game less than three minutes into the contest, but SFA battled right back to tie it less than eight minutes later. Sophomore quarterback Jeremy Moses led SFA on an eight-play, 84 yard drive that ended in a two-yard pass to junior Duane Brooks.
The Leathernecks responded by rattling off 27 unanswered points, included a touchdown with eight seconds remaining in the half to take a 24-7 lead into the locker room. The Lumberjacks tacked on the final score of the contest when Moses connected with junior Contrevious Parks on a 38-yard scoring strike.
The Lumberjacks were hurt by penalties and turnovers throughout the game. Penalized only nine times on the season, the `Jacks were flagged seven times against the Leathernecks. SFA also turned the ball over three times on the night.
Moses finished the game completing 32-of-64 passes for 386 yards and two touchdowns. Moses' 64 pass attempts also set a new SFA single-game record. Parks led all receivers with eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown. Brooks hauled in six catches for 95 yards and a score.
Sophomore lineman Kenneth Charles led the Lumberjack defensive effort with a career-high 10 tackles. Freshman Brandon Brown added eight stops.
SFA returns to action Saturday, Sept. 27 when they return to Homer Bryce Stadium to take on South Dakota State. The game against the Jackrabbits is set to begin at 6 p.m.

Open Thread: Friends and Family and Everyone Else
Here's a place to talk about the relationships in your life whenever you want.
Someday, if I ever try to return to the type of cubicle job I recently left, a future employer could Google me and come up with articles like this one, where I'm talking about my ladybiznez. Dear future employers: I promise I will not talk about my junk in the office.
So. Sex after childbirth. You're supposed to wait something like six weeks after giving birth to resume intercourse. Some women are totally ready to go much earlier than that, and some women don't even. I was one of the latter. The thought of having anything in my V after giving birth to an 8 lb., 6oz., 21-inch-long baby was quite frankly not appealing, even after I got the okay from my doctor.
"Use lots of lube," she advised.
Maybe it was the lack of sleep, or the fact that my breasts were suddenly not only fun accessories, but real, working food machines, or because we shared our only bedroom with our infant son, but I was really not into having sex. The first time my ex-husband and I did it, post-baby, it was fine, and my fears about experiencing any pain, or Oliver waking up, were put to rest.
I have to be honest, though, my level of arousal was not great. It was the kind of sex that sometimes happens in long-term relationships -- the kind where one partner is totally into it, and the other partner would rather be asleep, or perhaps reading a book.
And in fact, now that I am in my second long-term, live-in, adult relationship, I understand why a person might willingly participate in a sex act, even if they are not "in the mood." Sometimes, the sex is necessary to maintain a feeling of connection.
The last couple of months of my pregnancy, penetrative sex was pretty much out of the question because it was just too uncomfortable for me (which is a shame, because sex can help bring on labor, and I ended up going past my "due" date and having to be induced, which totally ruined my drug-free hippie birth plans -- but that is a whole other post). So by the time I got the post-birth go ahead from my doctor, it had been a very long time since we'd had sex.
And Seth was ready to get back to business right away. I could not turn down sex from a man who found me totally desirable and sexy, despite my saggy stomach, stretch marks and leaky boobs, and despite the fact that he had watched me give birth.
Like, watched it, watched it. Neither of us wanted him to see all of that. The problem is, I'm only 5'4" so even with Seth standing near the upper half of my body, it was impossible for him NOT to see it. It's been seven years, but I was sure he remembered the events of that day, so I asked him.
You guys, my vagina is just fine now, thanks. It is pretty as ever. (I was going to write something stupid about it still running great and being a well-oiled machine, but my vagina is not a car. So, no.)
And Seth got over the experience of me giving birth, pooping on the table* and all, and totally wanted to do it with me the first opportunity he got. But not all men feel this way, I guess. This guy over at the Daily Mail says that he couldn't have sex with his wife for a year after she gave birth. To his credit, he says it wasn't necessarily the physical changes that put him off sex -- it was a combination of post-baby stress, sleeplessness and intimidation (after all, creating, birthing and sustaining life is pretty mind-blowing). But he does acknowledge that the physical changes during and after childbirth can be enough to turn men off.
This is pretty depressing to me. Because it tells me that some guys view the mothers of their children as an amalgamation of parts, instead of as a complete person. I mean, sure, my ex-dude was a little grossed out, but he got over it. Because bodies do all sorts of things that we sometimes have no control over. I would never want to have sex with a man whose love and desire for me is tied to the visibility of my stretch marks.
And my boyfriend, Jeff, doesn't care about all that either. I mean, obviously I'm smoking hot, and I'm a delightful person who cooks for him all the time. But I also have to play the grumpy mom card sometimes and it sort of shatters the illusion that I am a wild, sexy beast who is ready to give out blow jobs on a moment's notice. And he doesn't mind at all that I have the body of a woman who has had a baby.
So let's just say Jeff is not with me for purely physical reasons. And since we don't ever plan on having children together, I'm not sure how he would feel about sex after watching me give birth. Last year, however, we did have a very special bonding experience called "two adults with food poisoning in a one-bathroom house," and we still want to have sex with each other, in spite of the bodily grossness that we witnessed. Now that's love.
*It happens.

Stories from Students
A Worldview that Revolves Around God (A Student Testimony)
"I grew up in a Christian home with godly parents, attended growing churches, and attended a Christian school. I got saved in middle school and knew that I wanted to use my life for whatever God had planned. But now I was graduating high school and trying to decide if college was God's plan, and if so, where was He leading me? We began praying about it, and I turned in an application for a Renewanation scholarship. Around this time, I was given the opportunity to attend a leadership school during the summer at Ohio Christian University. The same time I got accepted into the leadership school, I also received a scholarship by Renewanation for OCU. It seemed as if God was arranging things for me to attend OCU. So in the fall of 2012, I began my freshman year at Ohio Christian. I cannot count the times God has so clearly reinforced to me that this is where I am to be. God has given me a great church family that I can be a part of and that I have made lasting relationships with. I have no doubt that Ohio Christian University is where God wants me to be, and I thank Renewanation for letting God use them."
Allyson Keaton, College Scholarship Recipient
"The main way I would say this scholarship has impacted my life is that it has allowed me to go to a great school that otherwise would have been tough to pay for. I've met so many great people, and I am learning a lot. I thank Renewanation for giving me to chance to go there."
Daniel Wilmoth, College Scholarship Recipient
Stories from Parents & Families
"Since enrolling our kids in Wilson Christian Academy, we have seen a remarkable difference in their grades and actual learning. It is so refreshing to see the things they learn about God in their Bible class. My dad remarked the other day about how they told him the story of Esther and Job and how they knew the details. It's not cheap sending them to a private Christian school on our salaries. In fact, it's quite taxing, and serious sacrifices have been made. But it is money well spent, and the reward will far outweigh the cost in the future, as it already has. I strongly recommend a Christian worldview education for your child if you are considering making the jump. It will reap eternal rewards and prepare your children to face the challenges that life will throw at them. Most importantly, it will anchor your child in the ways of the Lord."
Steve & Misty Webb, Wilson, NC
"Thank you so much for the scholarship you gave Jaden Farris who attends Heritage Academy in Chatham, VA. We have used wood heat for years but had to switch to gas heat this past year. I was able to pay the gas bill only because of your financial aid. Thank you, thank you, thank you for enabling Jaden to continue with her education from the Christian worldview."
Phyllis Farris and Jaden Farris
Stories from Schools & Educators
"Your message was so relevant and very encouraging to us. I have already had parents tell me they wish their spouse could have heard what you had to say. Your passion is contagious. Thanks for the magazines; we will get those out to our parents."
Toni Kanzler, Director of Admissions, Traders Point Christian Schools
"Huge thank you to Renewanation for the donation! We put it to good use. Here are our thirteen upper school students and teacher with their brand new Chromebooks! This was a necessity for their BJU Christian Classroom Online coursework. Thank you so very much!"
Tammy, Lakeside Christian Academy
"Please convey to your coworkers how much we enjoyed the banquet last night. It was encouraging and enlightening. We appreciate all you do to foster Christian education. Renewanation always exhibits a culture of excellence in their events."
Ann Haymes, Heritage Academy
"Thanks again for coming to speak at Portland Christian! Your messages were so inspirational! The feedback from grandparents was so positive, and many have come asking for a video to share with their church and friends. Praying for you and all that you are doing to grow God's kingdom!"
Rhonda Rogers, Principal, The Elementary at Portland Christian Schools
"Inspiring. Passionate. Visionary. God-ordained. These are just a few words that I use to describe Jeff Keaton, who spoke at our first-ever benefit banquet promoting Christian education in the Kansas City area. With parents, alumni, supporters, and fellow Christian school administrators in attendance that evening, it is doubtful that anyone left without being moved by his message. I'm looking forward to hearing him again!"
Chad Pollard, Administrator, Overland Christian Schools
"I wanted to thank you again for a wonderful event last night. I have heard nothing but great reports. You truly inspired the crowd last night. There is a new energy present today. Thanks for a great evening, and we look forward to working with you and Renewanation in the future."
Allan Edgar, former Head of School, Emmanuel Christian School
"Thank you. The time with Glen was a tremendous blessing, and it was a great way for our staff to start a new school year with the proper focus. I look forward to possibilities for future professional and spiritual growth."
Dr. Rick Brown, School Administrator, Associate Pastor for School Ministries, Lower School Principal, Grades K3-6, RVCS
Stories from Churches
"You were a huge blessing to our families. One couple told me afterward they have been a house divided over this issue. She wants to homeschool. He says public school is fine because "he survived it." After your messages, he is in full support of his wife."
John Bartz, Pastor, New Beginnings Community Church
Stories from Supporters
"I thank God for you and what you are doing in and through Renewanation. I cannot think of what could be more important and strategic in these United States right now than offering a Christian worldview to every child."
Luis Bush, 4/14 Window Global Initiative
"I am a retired widow who is blessed to be a blessing. I cannot give to every cause, but I would like to invest in the future of someone… My donation is not sizeable, but I hope that it helps. I am encouraged by the goals of Renewanation. May our God multiply this seed, in Jesus name."
"I'm thinking about Renewanation this morning because of the prayer focus today on our
World Shapers Club Monthly Prayer Calendar. Today's focus is: Pray that all children will be given a good education and learn God's Word. That goes right along with your mission, one so pivotal and necessary, for a Christ-centered education for every child. Be encouraged that our World Shapers are agreeing with you and petitioning God for movements like yours around the world!"
Mary Tome, Advisory V.P./Administration, ENI
"Renewanation is the antidote for what I deal with on a daily basis."
Randy Krantz, General District Judge, Bedford County, VA
"Thank you for sharing a beautiful event with us. I wanted my dear husband to hear what you are doing in our world today, and he just loved it, so we want to support you with our funds. Now, we are asking God just how much and how we are to pay it over our lifetime. We also have some other ideas in mind on how we can support you. God bless you and everyone who is working to save our dear children with the truth of God."
"Great website! Lots of great material. Good to see such a vibrant ministry. I will certainly keep you on my radar if there is a way to partner or help you in some way."
Richard Blackaby

'newspaper delivery people'
Dogs of the 21st century.
Drones with FLIR capability changes everything.
Everybody will stand out like neon lights in the darkness, no matter how well camouflaged they are.
I have absolutely no sympathy for the mass murderer Dorner however the media appears to be covering for the dangerous clowns known as the LAPD-——http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2013/02/10/wtf-bulletgate-why-a-difference-print-media-vs-video-media-in-lapd-accidental-shooting/
This guy is a typical libtard who had to write down his non-important thoughts for everyone, and then act out in order ot get his silly opus read. Then the axle on his getaway vehicle breaks, very unusual. Stupid driving perhaps? Got stuck and broke it trying to get it out?
Or was it a sly trick to throw the law off his trail? Which is more likely? Screwup or crafty diversion?
He had to leave some gear and guns behind, you can only carry so much. He probably decided to travel lighter after the truck problem.
So what's this fool done lately to garner all the "genius" talk?
"Everybody will stand out like neon lights in the darkness,"
Imagine being in your back yard naked, or making love and having some drone circling overhead with the operator getting his thrills.
I am quite happy to no longer be in the new USSA.
Remember that one Foreign Service Officer who was married to the Moslem woman from Syria, who used to hang out at the pool in Jeddah? He was an Asst GSO. He converted to Islam, but considering the amount of gin & tonic he put away,he really wasn't too pious.
As long as you aren't in a truck you should be OK...
Sounds perfect to me.
I'd have left a bit of blood on things to make it look like I cut myself trying to fix it....but still, a good idea.
I'd be using cellphones in creative ways.... would make for a lot of confusion and wasted effort.
or maybe an El Camino... if its a drone..
He didn't expect to break an axle. Took what weapons he could, torched the rest with the disabled truck. Guns n ammo is heavy stuff.
Two days later, we have our first target.
What timing!
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I dont add you to the list...

What an effective plot to open the door to using drones in major metropolitan areas in the U.S. every day of the year, for the rest of time.. "To find criminals". Almost as effective as Sandy Hook for overturning the Second Amendment.
My guess is he is holed up somewhere either dying of dead from the elements.
Camouflage is just blending in to your surroundings. If you appear as a neon light, your surroundings should too.
I don't think he's a genius. His "manifesto" makes it pretty clear, the dude's a pop-culture obsessed loser with the depth of a shallow puddle.
I just think he planned this out well in advance. And the fact that he's an Ellen DeGeneres-watching fatass doesn't mean he's not cunning. Animals can be very cunning... so can a delusional self-absorbed douche bag like Rambro.
So are we....yet you still cash you SSA checks.
Good riddance.
Rambro doesn't like the cold or snow. You can bet he's laying low in LA and has people hiding and taking care of him

ENGL 302A: Exercise 2 "Ether Tree Maintenance"February 4th, 2011
Prompt: "Write a short character sketch (it may be from life), focusing on how your character makes a living. Put your character in a working situation and let us know by a combination of direct and indirect methods what that work is, how well he or she does it, what it looks like, smells like, and [how] the character feels about it."–Janet Burroway, Imaginative Writing
Peter received his task from Max on a slip of paper pushed across the flat stone they used for a table in the Labor & Commission tent. "Be careful," the extensively freckled man warned him, before gesturing for the next in line to come forward. Peter thanked him and wished him a good day before turning away, chipper than he had been when he woke up this morning. If Max was issuing caution, the assignment must be something good. He inspected the parchment as he walked down the dirt path, lantern in one hand, paying only enough attention to the rest of the world to evade collision as the town woke up and attended to their duties.
Co-ordinates and the order, "Fix it," were his only clue. It was plenty. He adjusted his direction, making for the supply building, nodding and exchanging hellos with those he passed.
Jenna greeted him with the barest nod of acknowledgement, more concerned with snapping her gum and the latest news, which she spread across the wooden counter, following the words on the paper with a slow-moving finger.
"Anything new," he asked, sidling up opposite her.
She flicked the page at him, picked it up. "Get your own."
Peter tsked, giving her half a smile and a wink. "Don't be cruel to the heart that's true, pretty girl." He propped an elbow on the counter and gave her the widest, most innocent eyes he could make around the newspaper she held up like a barrier. "Why's it all the pretty ones can get away with bein' so mean to the boys that fancy their sweet, soft hearts?"
Jenna dropped the paper with a heavy sigh and rolled her eyes, but a smile peeked about the corners of her mouth. "Oh, shut it, you. What you want, Petey," she drawled.
His grin was broad, but soon exchanged for a frown of concentration as they got down to business. Despite Jenna's frequently brusque attitude, she was a mother hen to the people she took a liking to, and rarely let someone go into the field without a good argument to take far more than they reasonably needed in precautionary items. It was worth any extra flattery to get the most recent tech Research & Development shipped to her but she held onto like a badger with a brick of honey.
He strapped on a utility belt, slung a tech pack loaded with instruments he may or may not need but Jenna wouldn't let him leave without onto his back, set the co-ordinates into the navigator and headed out into the darkness the swallowed up the world beyond his town.
To live beneath the Atlas City Plate was to live in a world of darkness and ruin and servitude. Peter knew this as clearly as he knew his dirty, unwashed face in the mirror above his washbasin. He didn't know this simply because he had been told as much by his elders and betters. Waking up morning after morning in the same darkness he went to sleep with, watching his parents labor in the ether factories, bending in subservience to the Altanian patrols–it was enough. When he'd come of age and went with the others to the top…
Peter still remembered climbing, endless climbing, to reach the surface of the Plate. It was entirely forbidden for any of them to go to Atlas itself, a caveat he'd not understood until climbing out of their sewer system and into the street of the Ether City. The moonlight blinded him. The buildings were tall, reaching toward a topless sky, not squat and ruined. The air had been fresh, and when he descended to the place he'd been born, it was like stepping into a prisoner's cage. They had not been able to stay long, out of fear of discovery, but Peter knew the experience would be impossible to forget.
"Ether pumps the blood of this city, and we work the ether factories. That's why we can't go to Atlas. If all of us knew the truth, that would be the end of them," Max had said. No one would work beneath the Plate if they knew what the moon looked like.
"Why don't they bring the factories up top?" He'd asked.
Max had shaken his head. "The ether is down deep in the earth, thousands of times deeper than the deepest hole you could ever dig, even if you spent your lifetime doing it. They don't know any other way to get it. Remember, there was ether before there was Atlas. No one knows how it was originally discovered. We don't even understand the technology in the factories. They were created long before us, and remain as mysterious."
Standing here, miles away from town, Peter wondered what the Atlanians would do if they knew about the natural reserves of ether, like the one he'd been tasked to fix. It loomed, a beacon in the darkness, hidden by the empty buildings surrounding it. Rare, beautiful, luminous: An Ether Tree.
The trunk was a mix of rotted, wasting wood and a heavy complement of plastic-sheathed metal; once it had stood perfectly perpendicular, suspending wires from one of its kind to the next. Now it was wrapped in a serpentine network of translucent tubing containing natural, nonmanufactured ether, and leaned precariously to one side. The wires hung limp, or not at all; some had long since broken off and fallen to the ground. They belonged to a rusted past. Peter was here to fix the present.
"What's wrong with you, huh? You look pretty enough for a party to me," he said. He approached it with caution at first, aware that the situation might be a trap set by Atlanians who had finally discovered his people's secrets, but soon arrived at the Ether Tree's control box without incident. Peter sighed as he opened the box's back panel, where a mass of wires confronted him. At least it wasn't covered in dust or dirt, a sure sign of neglect by their engineering patrols. Peter squatted and pulled the tech pack over his shoulders and in front of him. Time to get to work.

News of President Obama's apparently long-secret fondness for skeet shooting came as a surprise to those who say they have witnessed the president's "awkward" attempts at pinging the (clay) pigeons. This has only happened with the president at Camp David, at most, a couple of times, according to a source who says he has been to the retreat on a half-dozen visits with Obama. "The only time he shot skeet was for President's Cup," said the source, referring to a shooting competition tradition involving the presidential Marine guards. "I was there. He stayed for about five minutes, and couldn't leave fast enough." Skeet shooting "is very hard," said the source. "Especially for someone not used to guns … He couldn't have been more uncomfortable." The source said a friend of his recalled Obama skeet shooting one other time at Camp David — very early on in his first term.

He does look a little awkward though.
To some, Mr. Obama's newfound enthusiasm for shooting clay pigeons — he said in an interview that he did it "all the time" at the presidential retreat — also seemed a bit suspicious.
If I was his in Whitehouse PR I would have released the photo of him standing with his back to the camera just to drive the pundits insane.

UFC 100 Results
Here are the UFC 100 quick results - more to come...
Lesnar wins over Mir in Round 2 from ref stoppage from strikes (exactly as I predicted) - same fight as last time except this time he won't get submitted is what I said cough ahem.
GSP wins over Alves with a unanimous decision - pretty much owned alves the whole fight just kept taking him down. Alves needed to just go ape shit and rush down GSP and get in close and hit him but he didn't... he just stood back and threw jabs etc - also everytime he threw leg kick GSP grabbed it and took him down. GSP rules! Go Canada W00t!
Henderson destroys Bisping. Boo - I live Dan Henderson, I mean everyone likes Hendo cuz he is just a cool cat but I really wanted Michael Bisping to Win. Well Bisping got knocked out hard. Hendo knockout for the highlight reels totally, then he jumped on Bisping knowing full well he was out cold and smashed him in the face one more time then in the interview after the fight he said he knew he was out and he just wanted to further shut him up... hmmm... I wonder if he will take any heat for this ptentially unsportsmanlike conduct.
Belcher lost to Sexiyama - I didn't even know this Sexiyama dude but he put on a good fight, lots of people including Joe Rogan thought that Belcher should have won.
I will post the rest of the results later - these were the only fights shown on PPV but also they showed some other fight after it but I shut it off, I will watch that fight later.
Heh there was no chants of Fedor after the Brock Lesner and Frank Mir fight. Some people on Sherdog were speculating that the fans might start to chant Fedor after Lesnar won. But they didn't all they did was boo lesnar I mean lesnar got boo'd hard. I don't think he deserves to be boo'd. I think he is a legit champ and he is solid. I predicted he would win and now I am not so sure about him vs Carwin. Everyone knows that Carwin vs Lesnar is the next fight coming up and I thought that Carwin would beat Lesnar but now I am not so sure.

Akiyama Vs Belcher - does Akiyama's style translate to the cage? i dont know, what i do know is Belcher's style is perfect for the cage, if Sexyama wants to win, he has to keep it off the ground, i dont think he will, Belcher by Submission 2nd round
Henderson Vs Bisping - i think Hendo has too much for Bisping on the ground, look for Bisping to utilise his jab and dodge Hendersons big windmill overhand rights to win by UD
Fitch Vs Thiago - Thiago has no chance on the ground so look for him to try for an early knockout, Fitch will have learned from Kos' mistakes and will win this one by easy UD
GSP Vs Alves - GSP by First round GnP to prove his supremacy and then watch for him to call out Anderson Silva or Rich Franklin
Brock Lesnar Vs Frank Mir - this one wont last 2 minutes but it'll be a different story from last time, Think Mir vs Vera. Brock by absolute Destructive power 1.30 into the first round.

Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin
Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin is a fight that I believe one day will happen. I think that Shane Carwin is the only heavyweight that can take down Lesnar other than Fedor. Go on youtube and check out Shane Carwin fights, better yet try and find this thingy the did on him cuz his fights do not do his skills justice if that makes any sense. His hands are BIGGER than Brock Lesnars heh

Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir UFC 100
It's been a while since I updated this blog - sorry I know it gets searched a lot in Google. I will try and post more often.
Well UFC 100 is next weekend. My prediction is that Brock Lesnar is going to beat Frank Mir from referree stoppage due to strikes. It will be a repeat of the first time they fought except this time Mir will not survive long enough to catch him in a submission. I think the only one that can beat Lesnar is Shane Carwin. One day Shane Carwin will be the heavyweight champ - so get read for Brock Lesnar vs Shane Carwin soon.
I think that GSP will win other Alves but I'm not sure how. Alves is a beast, but GSP is the man. I am hoping he will ground and pound him out but not sure if that will be the case since Alves is a tough mofo.
Fedor Emelianenko vs Shane Carwin would be a fun fight -_-

Been looking at punching bags lately
I have been thinking about getting a punching bag for some time now. I wasn't sure what kind I should get back after some reading I think I am gonna get a stand up one. I live in a condo so there is no room to get a hanging bag. If you are considering getting one make sure you do some research first on punching bags because there really is a lot of different bags you can get. Some even use water, some are for indoor some are for outdoor. I am not sure if I want to get any boxing gloves or just use the little mma style gloves for this, but I am definitely going to get a punching bag real soon.

Affliction Banned Results - Fedor pwnage!
Yo UFC FANS: Scroll down below this post for the UFC Anderson Silva vs James Irvin Results...
Well a lot of people didnt realize that tonight was also the Affliction Banned event put on by Afflication aka Randy Couture and Donald Trump - that's right the trumpster w00t - anyhoo Fedor Emelianenko fought Tim Sylvia in the main event and he destroyed him in less then a minute - basically striked him onto the ground then took his back and choked him - but the fight was over from the strikes really.
We saw the return of one of my favorite fighters from the past - Vitor Belfort. I was really hoping he was gonna win - frank trigg was saying how this is a new vitor etc etc so he isnt going to go nuts like he did back when he was young in the UFC and smoked Wanderlei Silva. Fight started out slow then wammo vitor nailed terry martin with a vicious flying knee - then hit him with an uppercut then a straight left hand and put him through the ropes - lol pwnage.
Also was nice to see Josh Barnett be victorious and bring some flair to the event with his samarai like spirit.
Anyways here are the offical results:
Fedor Emelianenko defeats Tim Sylvia via submission (rear naked choke) in round one
Arlovski defeats Rothwell via technical knockout (strikes) in round three
Josh Barnett defeats Pedro Rizzo via knockout in round two
Babalu Sobral defeats Mike Whitehead via Unanimous Decision
Matt Lindland defeats Fabio Nascimento via Unanimous Decision
Paul Buentello defeats Gary Goodridge via unanimous decision
Vitor Belfort defeats Terry Martin via TKO (Strikes) Round 2
Mark Hominick defeats Savant Young via Submission (Armbar) Round 2
Rogerio Nogueria defeats Edwin DeWees via TKO (Strikes) Round 1
Mike Pyle defeats JJ Ambrose via Submission (Rear Naked Choke) Round 1
All in all it was a great stacked card - but it was too long with too many commercials - having megadeath playing live was cool but only if you are a fan of them which I was not lol - Big John McCarthy needs practice on his telecasting - he was so hyper he was yelling in the fighters faces when he was interviewing them. And also he kept calling Vitor Belort "Bellfert"... lol dude its BELL FOUR the T is silent - I guess he didnt get the memo.
Also it was hella cheesy when they were announcing all the celebs in attendance instead of just panning to them etc - they only panned to like 2-3 people like tito ortiz and jenna. The funniest part though was when they panned to Donald Trump and behind him to the left was Michael Madsen and they never mentioned him lol. He has been in about 100 movies lol like Kill Bill and Resevoir Dogs etc etc.

UFC Fight Night 14 Results - Anderson Silva Wins!
Well as everyone predicted, Anderson the spider Silva defeated James Sandman Irvin. What poeople didn't expect was for Silva to beat him so fast and so bad. LOL does Anderson Silva ever get hit?? Sandman threw a kick, Silva catches it with his left hand and punches him with his right - BAM - that basically ended it - Sandman fell back on his butt, Silva pounced on him, threw a few strikes, 2 of them got through and then ref stopped it - he was done. Will he hold both belts eventually? Dan Henderson style?
Anyways here are the official results:
-Anderson Silva def. James Irvin by KO at 1:01, R1

Client Reviews for Zoes
Another fabulous holiday with Vintage Travel. Why do they pass so quickly!!
Everything about this holiday, from start of booking to end was excellent. I have already passed details on to as many people as I can and plan to use vintage travel as much as I can in the future. It was by far the best holiday we've ever had. Thank you!
Fantastic villa, great views, can't wait to return
Thank you for a wonderful holiday. We received excellent customer service during the lead up to our holiday. Transfer arrangements both to and from the villa were superbly organised and ran like clockwork. The local reps were remarkably efficient and couldn't have been more helpful. As for the villa itself - we fell madly in love with Zoe's Villa at first sight, and found it difficult to tear ourselves away from the property in order to do any exploring. We would not hesitate to book with Vintage Travel again, and have already started browsing through your collection of villas with next year in mind.
We really enjoyed our holiday - fantastic Villa with beautiful views
Just the most amazing holiday. The villa went beyond our expectations. Truly a holiday of a lifetime with memories we'll treasure forever. Looking forward to our next holiday with you. We can't recommend you highly enough to all we come in contact with. Thank you :)
A beautifully appointed villa in a great setting. It had a perfect aspect on the hill overlooking the town of Skopelos with sun from 10 in the morning until 7.15 at night, long after the town itself was in shadow,creating beautiful sunsets. Only 20 minutes walk from town it combined easy access to the lively harbour with the peace and tranquility of the undeveloped hillside.We intend to visit again.
Superb, clean villa with lovely pool, views and very private. 20 mins walk to town, so take a torch, which is very pretty and has not been affected by tourism as much as a lot of resorts. Cannot wait to go back.
Even if we must confess that we discovered you by internet, we didn't expect such nice holidays. We loved Zoes house, which is a lovely, quiet and quality place. The furnishing and design is sober and nice. The services provided to clean houses and the pool is highly appreciated. Thank you.
Zoes is in a spectacular location. We loved the view and the pool. The villa is well appointed also.

Remember when 1500 passengers went down with RMS Titanic on April 15th, 1912, making it one of the most horrific maritime disasters in history? Chinese company Seven Star Energy Investment Group wants to recreate the sinking, complete with a simulated ice berg collision.
According to CNN, Seven Star is developing a resort that features a Titanic museum, man-made beach, turkish baths and 6D cinema. The ship's replica, worth an estimated $165 billion, will sit permanently on the Qi River in China's Sichuan Province. Tourists will board the model and relive the horrifying collision through high-tech simulation involving sound and light effects.
"It's time for China to honor the spirit of human responsibility — how passengers tried to save one another as the ship sank," Seven Star's chairman told Xinhua news.
The park plans to open in 2016.

Bollywood actor Salman Khan has been acquitted by the Bombay High Court in the infamous thirteen year old hit-and-run case, which led to death of one person and injured four others. Justice A R Joshi, while giving his verdict, said that the prosecution was not convincing in proving that the actor was driving the vehicle and he was drunk when the incident occurred. The verdict therefore overturned the 5-year jail term verdict ordered by the lower court. While HC was pronouncing the acquittal, Salman Khan broke down and latter tweeted that he accepts the HC decision with humility. Justice Joshi pointed out the shortcomings in the prosecution's case.
After 2-days of vigorous discussion and negotiation at Paris Climate Change Conference, French presidency of the COP21 came out with a new but 2 page shorter draft (from that of the earlier draft) of 27 pages that has now included some major demands of India. The Indian demands that made place in the new draft include principles based on equity and common but differentiated responsibilities as well as "sustainable lifestyle". French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius submitted the new draft for moving towards a final agreement. Sources in the environment ministry of India said that sleepless negotiations have at least helped inclusion of major points, mooted by India, in the new draft but working out of some more issues are needed to be done.
Special Operation Group (SOG) along with Rajasthan Police's ATS has nabbed state-run Indian Oil Corporation's marketing manager, Mohd Sirazudin, from Jaipur on alleged charges of links with dreaded terrorist organisation ISIS or ISIL. It is learnt that he was arrested for campaigning in favour of the international terrorist organization, recruiting members for it, and also supplying official information to Daesh. Additional DGP (ATS and SOG), Alok Tripathi, has said that Mohd Sirazudin hails from Karnataka and the arrest was made for his alleged involvement with Islamic State terrorists. He is booked under UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act). Objectionable items have also been seized from Sirazudin's Jaipur residence.
While upholding validity of Orissa and Bihar Special Court Act, Supreme Court has called corruption a self-infection that has become resistant to all kinds of curbs as well as control. The apex court bench of Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Anil R Dave went on to call corruption an economic terror that disregards collective interest, conscience, and any kind of concern. While vouching for the need of stringent provisions in special legislations for the "social calamity" called corruption, the bench upheld Orissa and Bihar Special Court Act's validity, leading to public servants' speedy trial. SC observed that special courts' establishment doesn't violate Constitution's Article 247.

Governor of Reserve Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan, has opined while speaking at Presidency University in Kolkata that GST is good for the Indian economy. While explaining the advantages of Goods and Services Tax, Rajan said that the first benefit is the increase of tax base because of the inclusion of more people in the tax net. The other benefit he stressed upon is that GST will make the entire country a single market place and will do away with the barriers between states. While speaking on NPAs, RBI governor said that the apex bank maintains a database that is shared among the banks and the latter have devised a mechanism that help them avoid over-lending to large borrowers, thereby doing away with the chance of NPA creation.
With Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arriving in India, Indian government is not only upbeat about the prospect of first bullet train project in India but also on other issues including nuclear deal and building up of a finance company jointly with Japan that will expedite road construction facility in India.

Interest rate of the loans will be just 0.5 per cent and the loan term will be from 30 years to 40 years.
A review report named "Assuring Health Coverage For All In India", written by leading researchers and academicians Dr K Srinath Reddy and Dr Vikram Patel, has pointed out that the health scenario in India is the poorest when compared with that of other BRICS countries. This expert group was formed by Planning Commission in the year 2011. The Indian researchers have said that the country has failed to protect the citizens adequately from the financial risks related to cost of health. Both Reddy and Patel have said that higher level of out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure is pushing a significant portion of population towards impoverishment.
Road, Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari has again hit out at the Regional Transport Offices (RTOs), under his own department, and went on to call them the most corrupt entities in India. While comparing the extent of corruption in the RTOs, Gadkari went on to say that these organizations indulge in loot of public money that is more than severe than those done by dacoits of the Chambal forests. However, he also said that the only solution to these kinds of corruption is the fast implementation of Road Transport and Safety Bill. Nitin Gadkari also said that 30 per cent of the total numbers of licenses issued are bogus.

Where Else Can You Purchase a Delightful, High-Quality Log Cabin for Less than $36,000?
While the exact origin of log cabins is unknown, what is known is that log cabins have an ancient history. While it is generally assumed that log cabins were first built in or around Scandinavia, log cabins are most often associated with first generation home building by European settlers in the Americas. The Discoverer log cabin by Coventry Log Homes is reminiscent of that era where log cabins tended to be smaller and built with real purpose. While there are stunning examples of beautiful (and expensive) log homes, some prefer a more nostalgic, rustic approach and the Discoverer log cabin is a perfect fit.
The first log structures for dwelling purposes were first being built in Northern Europe during the Bronze Age, circa 3500 BCE. C. A. Weslager describes these early Europeans as having several forms of log house, with different methods of corner timbering (utilizing both round and hewn logs). While initial structures were considered crude tiny gable-roof cabins with a hole in the roof to vent wood smoke log building inevitably underwent an evolutionary process and became more sophisticated some had squared logs with interlocking, double-notch joints, and timber extending past the corners for aesthetic appeal. Early on, medieval log cabins were considered moveable property and were often disassembled, transported to their new located and reassembled. This made replacing individual logs that had been damaged by dry rot possible.
It is thought that in present-day America settlers were constructing log cabins by as early as 1638. Historians tend to agree that the first log cabins were constructed within a Swedish colony in the Delaware River and Brandywine River valleys. The quick-and-easy techniques for constructing log cabins remained and spread and, later, German and Ukrainian immigrants used similar techniques as well as the Scots and Irish, who had no previous tradition of building log cabins. While only one of the earliest structures remains (circa 1640), few dating to the 18th century still stand. This is surprising as log cabins built by immigrants were never intended to be permanent dwellings; log cabins were merely temporary homes to live in while larger, permanent homes were constructed, and then the smaller cabins would be used as outbuildings.
While the log cabins manufactured by Coventry Log Homes arent meant to be temporary dwellings, Coventry Log Homes does specify which of their log structures are suitable for permanent, full-time dwelling and which are better suited for part-time or recreational use. The Discoverer is part of their cabin series, which they describe as being full of rustic charm. With a little extra work, these cabins could double as permanent dwellings. The Discoverer is small, at 544 square feet, and offers just one bedroom with a small loft and a lovely cathedral ceiling which helps give the appearance of more interior space. There is no bathroom, so there would need to be alterations done to consider the Discoverer a permanent dwelling unless you dont mind outhouses! The great part about the Discoverer log cabin, however, is that this little gem allows you to spend time enjoying the great outdoors and also features a tidy little country porch meant for relaxing. The complete Discoverer package is available for less than $36,000. Where else can you purchase a charming, rustic log cabin for such a low price? If youre thinking of purchasing a log cabin, then the Discoverer by Coventry Log Homes is definitely worth checking out! You might be looking for a cabin and end up finding your dream home!

Act II Summary
When David wakes up, he is in the hospital. Dot and his mother are asking him if he remembers who shot him. When he is released from the hospital, Dot and David's mom take him to Hulligan's Wharf, which is an island, to rest. When they check into the estate, the owner Mr. Hulligan says Mrs. Boring's cousin, Mrs. Capon, her daughter Iris and Iris's husband have already checked in.
On the island, there is no communication with the mainland. Iris turns out to be 16, with a husband who is just as young as she is. In the middle of the night, there is a thunderstorm and Iris tells her husband, Man, that she feels like something bad is going to happen.
David says his mother came to the hospital as soon as she heard he was shot. His mother is...

When you are viewing Web pages, they look a lot like paper pages. At first glance, the process of displaying a Web page is simple: You tell your computer which page you want to see, and the page appears on your screen. If the page is stored on a disk inside your computer, it appears almost instantly. If it is located on some other computer, you might have to wait for it to be retrieved.
Of course, Web pages can do some very convenient things that paper pages can't. For example, you can't point to the words "continued on page 57" in a paper magazine and expect page 57 to automatically appear before your eyes. Nor can you tap your finger on the bottom of a paper order form and expect it to reach the company's order fulfillment department five seconds later. You're not likely to see animated pictures or hear voices talk to you from most paper pages either (newfangled greeting cards aside). All these things are commonplace on Web pages.

The President's action and the Grow It Here Make It Here bill demonstrate that the administration and policymakers understand the value of U.S. leadership on innovative biobased products in the United States
WILMINGTON, Del. (PRWEB) March 12, 2012
DuPont today commended a recent presidential directive and new U.S. Senate proposed legislation that supports the growth of biobased products made from agricultural ingredients as good for the U.S. economy and the environment.
In February, President Barack Obama issued a memorandum calling for the expansion of the USDA BioPreferred Labeling Program and greater adoption of the program by federal agencies. The BioPreferred label certifies products are made with agricultural ingredients. The President has directed federal agencies to report on their purchases of BioPreferred certified products and asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to double the number of categories and products that are designated BioPreferred over the next 12 months. Additionally, the Grow It Here, Make It Here Bio-based Manufacturing Act introduced by U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), with co-sponsoring senators Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Tom Carper and Chris Coons (both D-Del.) would provide additional support for the BioPreferred program and the U.S. biobased manufacturing industry.
"The President's action and the Grow It Here Make It Here bill demonstrate that the administration and policymakers understand the value of U.S. leadership on innovative biobased products in the United States," said James C. Collins, president, DuPont Industrial Biosciences. "This action is a shot in the arm to America's bioeconomy – helping support our overarching goals of boosting the U.S. agricultural sector and reducing our reliance on imported petroleum while offering a wealth of environmental and health benefits. This is U.S. innovation that can help create U.S. jobs for a growing global market for sustainable products."
Research conducted last year by Genencor, now part of DuPont Industrial Biosciences, found that eight in 10 American consumers would definitely or likely purchase biobased household products if comparable on cost and effectiveness. In a survey of 800 of its business customers in 2011, DuPont found that nearly 90 percent said delivering products with environmental benefits is a long-term market opportunity.
Today, DuPont is applying its integrated science and deep knowledge of agriculture and applied materials to meet the sizeable and growing market demand for biobased products. Some of the existing products are certified with the USDA BioPreferred program while others are ingredients that can be used to help consumer goods manufacturers earn BioPreferred status. DuPont's BioPreferred certified products include:
•DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer: One of the first of 11 products to be certified with the USDA BioPreferred program. Sorona® is an advanced biobased material used in the manufacturing of textiles, apparel, home, office and automotive interiors and carpets.
•*Zemea® Propanediol: Certified 100 percent Biobased by the USDA. Zemea® also is certified as a natural ingredient, replacing petroleum-based glycols in over 800 personal care products. It functions as a natural humectant and solvent. It also is used as a natural solvent in home cleaning products.
•*Susterra® Propanediol: Certified 100 percent Biobased by USDA. This product is a specialty glycol that offers a non-petroleum alternative for products such as polyurethanes, heat transfer fluids and aviation de-icing fluids. Benefits include improved cold temperature flexibility in polyurethane systems, improved service life in heat transfer fluids and excellent aviation de-icing performance even in extreme cold conditions.
Additional DuPont biobased products include:
•DuPont™ Hytrel® RS Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer: This renewably sourced polyol is used to manufacture hoses and tubing for automotive and industrial uses as well as for air bag doors and energy dampers.
•DuPont™ Zytel® RS Renewably Sourced Nylon Resin: This product is made from sebacic acid derived from castor oil, a non-food competing natural product. It is used in a wide range of manufactured goods.
An expanded list of biobased products from DuPont is available at renewable.dupont.com.
DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

Emperor scorpions must be housed in a suitable terrarium and fed a moderate amount of nutritious food. To avoid infestations of mites, their environment must be kept clean. They should not be handled too often because handling causes them stress.Continue Reading
The best habitat for a pet emperor scorpion is a glass terrarium. For one scorpion, a 10-gallon tank is large enough, but for a group, the tank should be 20 to 30 gallons. It should have a secure lid to prevent escape. A 3- to 6-inch damp substrate of sand, peat moss or vermiculite enables the scorpion to dig burrows. Pieces of pottery, bark and stones provide hiding places. Daily misting keeps the environment humid, but too much misting causes mold. Optimum temperature is 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The primary food for captive emperor scorpions is crickets. These should be occasionally dusted with vitamin and mineral supplements. For variation, they can also be fed mealworms, moths and small mice. Because they are nocturnal hunters, they should be fed at night. All uneaten food should be removed from the cage the day after feeding.
Despite their formidable size, compared to other scorpion species, the venom of emperors is mild. For most people, it causes no more irritation than a bee sting. Because they are reluctant to sting, it is generally safe to hold emperor scorpions in the palm of the hand. However, as they are easily stressed, the best way to move them is with padded forceps.Learn more about Bugs


text: Well here's a little bit of nautical history moored up in the Marina. The Comrade is a type of craft known as a Humber Keel designed to carry cargoes around the Humber and Trent. The design is ancient and thought to be based on Viking longships with a shallow draught and a square rigged sail. Comrade was built in 1923 and could get as far inland as Sheffield. It's last commercial voyage was in 1975 when it was acquired and renovated by the Humber Keel and Sloop Preservation Society. Of course it has its very own picture filled and informative website. There's also a pretty comprehensive history of the vessel here.

A crucial step to bring new drugs to market has begun by Proteon Therapeutics for its lead product, a drug expected to improve treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease.
Proteon, founded in 2001 in Kansas City, has been developing PRT-201, a drug designed to reduce the failure of hemodialysis vascular access, a condition that often develops in patients.
The drug has received "fast track" and "orphan drug" designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and has begun Phase 3 clinical testing. Random, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials will enroll 300 patients at about 30 hemodialysis centers in this test phase.

Permanent Water Conservation Regulations
Each year, the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills (PTH) Water Department is pleased to present its annual Consumer Confidence Report.The purpose of this report is to provide the water consumers of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills with a greater understanding of the quality of our drinking water and the system that delivers the water from the source to the user.
View Annual Consumer Confidence Report Here
Water Services Failures Final Report 2015 - Glenmont Commons - Updated Appendix B
The water utility operates, controls and maintains the Township's water supply and distribution system, wells, well fields and all equipment and accessories for the treatment, distribution, conservation and protection of the Township water supply and water services.
The division is also responsible for the reading of meters, as well as the maintenance and services of all fire hydrants in the Township.
The Parsippany - Troy Hills Water System is a groundwater- based system. Groundwater (or well water) is stored below the surface of the earth in large gravel deposits or deep porous rocks called aquifers. Groundwater is purified naturally as it filters through layers of soil, clay, rock and sand. This process known as "percolation" takes years to complete. As a result, Parsippany's drinking water requires less treatment than surface water.
To ensure that the water serving our community is of the highest quality, Parsippany's Water Department monitors and tests for physical, chemical, and bacterial contaminants in the water. The Water Department is not content with simply providing water to all of its residents and businesses. The Water Department is constantly improving the system to enhance the water quality, reinforce the supply of water and upgrade the distribution of water throughout the system.
eBill Notification for Water / Sewer Bills
The Township of Parsippany is pleased to announce the implementation of eBills for water and sewer. If you choose to participate, you will be notified by email when your bill is available for viewing. At that time, you will be provided with a link to access your account history for the past year, readings, usage and amount paid and due. You will continue to be able to pay online using our secure website, pay by mail or pay in-person.
If you are interested in receiving your water/sewer bill notification by email, please complete the eBILL NOTIFICATION AUTHORIZATION/CANCELLATION AGREEMENT form and mail, fax or email it back to us with an original signature.

Talk to most people about the power of manifesting desires and their eyes will just glaze over. It will be apparent they are totally closed to the idea, particularly those in western cultures. The mere possibility that your unconscious mind can have the power to deliver real physical things to them seems absurd.
