Federal safety inspectors at Oconee Nuclear Station will remain on the job, despite the Thursday shutdown of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
After the federal government closed Oct. 1, the NRC operated using money left over from the fiscal 2013 budget, but that money ran out Wednesday.
NRC Chairman Allison Macfarlane said starting Thursday, the agency would no longer do non-emergency reactor licensing, license renewal amendments, emergency preparedness exercises, reviews of design certifications or regulatory guidance.
"Let me stress, however, that all of our resident inspectors will remain on the job and any immediate safety or security matters will be handled with dispatch," Macfarlane wrote in a message to NRC employees and the public.
"We can — and will, without hesitation — bring employees out of furlough to respond to an emergency. We must, in this regard, err on the side of safety and security."
The agency employs about 150 resident inspectors — at least two at every nuclear power plant — who monitor daily operations and are available around the clock for inspections. They give regulators first-hand assessments of plant conditions and performance.
Duke Energy's Oconee Nuclear Station, which has three pressurized water reactors, has three NRC resident inspectors.
The NRC furloughed about 3,600 of its 3,900 employees, according to a statement from Mark Satorius, executive director for operations.
In addition to the 150 resident inspectors still working, the agency is keeping about 150 staffers to respond to emergency situations. The chairman, the NRC commissioners and the inspector general are exempt from the furlough as presidential appointees.
Nuclear industry watchdogs say the shutdown will hinder the agency's ability to respond to an emergency.
"You can reduce operations to a skeleton crew and as long as there is no crisis, maybe you'll get by unscathed," said Edwin Lyman, senior scientist with the global security program at the Union of Concerned Scientists. "But if there is an emergency, the NRC will have to reconstitute the people it needs, which will lead to a delay."
The NRC also said the shutdown will hinder transparency because new documents and reports won't be posted for public viewing at the web site until it reopens.
"That's a concern because timely and accurate and complete public information about nuclear facilities is something that the American people really deserve to have," Lyman said.

Oregon - Winery Weddings
Photo: Courtesy Linda Edwards/ Wine Country Farm Cellars
Three grape-quilted, wine-producing regions await your unique and romantic Winery Wedding day - the vineyard-lush Willamette Valley, where most of the state's some 350 wineries are located; picturesque Southern Oregon, stretching from just below Eugene in the north to Medford in the south; and the blue-sky, high-desert, sparsely populated west-of-the-Cascades Eastern Oregon area, where only a bare handful of wineries are located. Winery Wedding Guide has searched all three regions to provide a complete listing of those wineries able to host your celebratory day.
With a click, your perfect Winery Wedding is underway.
Willamette Valley
Twenty-five years ago, the Willamette Valley was best known for growing grass seed and hazelnuts. That was then. Today the 100-mile long, 60-mile wide region that gains its name from the river that runs through it has become one of the world's acclaimed grape-growing regions. Here, between the cities of Portland in the north and Eugene in the south, the majority of Oregon's more than 350 wineries are located. Winery Wedding Guide has done the searching for you to come up with a definitive list of
Winery Wedding choices in this vineyard-lush swath of fir-clad hillsides, friendly valleys and charming small towns.

Southern Oregon
Southern Oregon is full of treasures - redwood forests, vast acres of wilderness, the mighty Rogue and Umpqua rivers. Among them a new treasure has emerged - acclaimed vineyards and wineries. Winery Wedding Guide searched through some 50 wineries to find eight available to host a unique and romantic, photography-perfect celebration of your wedding day.

Eastern Oregon
Only a mere handful of wineries are located east of the Cascade Mountains - Oregon's big- sky, high-desert country. Of them, most are found 60 miles to the east of Portland in a scenic valley between Mt. Hood and the Columbia River, in close proximity to the city of Hood River. Winery Wedding Guide has done the searching for you to find photography-album-perfect, winery-wedding sites, each a unique and intimate setting for your all-important day.

Basketball Passing Drills:
This is a simple drill that should be done directly after teaching players the basic skills of passing.
A basketball passing drill very similar to the Line Passing drill above, except this drill has players moving about, enforcing the need to react quickly and have good form engrained in their actions
These are simple basketball passing drills, but at the beginning of pre-season practice, they are absolutely essential to run so that you can instruct and improve the passing skills of your players. Players will need to be able to execute all these passes in the blink of an eye, in the middle of a hectic game situation. But if they can't perform them in highly controlled practice sessions, they won't be able to perform them in games - good control and proper form won't magically appear.
So remember to always stress proper passing technique - if they consistently practice these drills properly, they'll see the transfer to the game and they will perform with good fundamentals - and improved results - when it comes to crunch time.
Check out UMass Head Coach Derek Kellogg's video package of drills

Musical chairs are full of intelligentsia,
One after another I have to climb,
The one behind me tries to crawl like serpent;
in and out of the rules — my Godfather's laws,
People ahead looks like domino's effect,
Waiting for the last one to fall,
Beating the final curtain, close to credit rolling.
What if I don't dress like my age
where everyone does? What about
an elderly woman who fit to be
a grandmother who dressed like a whore
is crawling towards —
my dream lover,
who is holding another girl.
I cry and cry ripping that fur.
Get him over. One day I will.
But for now, please allow me
to grief —
The smell of that after rain,
Oceanfront and protruded landscape,
Being the child who lives in hue,
Craft your smile upon my face,
where silencer starts aiming at boys –
Innocence and sweet –
Grilling them to their knees.
Frida Kahlo paints rainbow
on my dermis and faith
I listen without rebut
Steps of Argentinean tango
creeps into my jet-lagged heart
like you've touched me
Hold your breath
Count to ten
He's coming to make you sweat
Cornish pie in English season
Cornflower plate represents the garden
of no short-lived tomorrow
Wintry with no shadow
Doppelgangers fear for living
under Freddy Krueger's charm
No more touching, even
For just a simple graze
Kissing vanilla ice-cream
Memories remain
Skin to skin
Hot to handle
Curtain of fingers
Lips tumbling
You in sadomasochistic suit
yelling of cracking rooftop
Guilty pleasure
Rape as titillation
Damaging and dangerous
Inner juices
Your doppelganger
Splitting into half
Sweet nightmare
Humiliation no hesitation
Squeeze hard, hard, harder –
Downright, playfully corrupted
Hierarchy of domination
Likes to eat and read

While persuing Doc Searls Weblog * today I noticed that he mentions a post that an old colleague of mine (Don Marti) at VA Research/VA Linux Systems/VA Software authored in regards to how "Alpha bloggers as we know them are an artifact of blog-reading tools".
It's worth reading if you have the time.
- Doc may not remember this but way back in 2000 at LWCE in San Jose he interviewed me for something or the other to do with SourceForge.

This weekend Knightley and I drove up to DC to meet David, who had been in the city working. It was Knightley and my first trip back to the city since moving in July. We were able to see a number of our favorite DC people, including my good friend Patti, who took a job in DC just as I took a job in North Carolina. We are sad that we just missed living in the same city again for the first time since law school. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the day on Saturday, including a lunch at Good Stuff and an afternoon at the National Book Festival.
Here is a picture of Patti trying to take a break on the mall from the unforgivable heat of the day. How hot was it? Well, just look at how terrible this picture of me and Knightley is. I look like I am melting.
Knightley is licking his face, trying to do anything that might possibly cool him off. He also contemplated jumping into one of the reflecting pools in front of the Capitol, before deciding against it.
I was willing to sweat it up on the National Mall in the hopes that I would get to see Norton Juster, the author of my favorite book from childhood, The Phantom Tollbooth, and who was appearing at the festival. Sadly, his speaking engagement took place at the same time as our lunch engagement at Good Stuff. Deciding against making the effort to shout Homer Simpson-like insults at Jonathan Frantzen ("You Suck, Frantzen!"), I instead spent the late afternoon and early evening shopping with Erin at Leesburg. Probably, the inevitable disorderly conduct ticket that I would have earned from the National Park Police for creating a disturbance at the National Book Festival would have cost less than what I ended up spending in Leesburg.
Saturday night, we enjoyed pizza from Pupatella in Arlington. There is nothing else to say about that except for the pizza was delicious, as was the cinnamon gelato that I had as an appetizer as our pizzas baked in the fireplace.
Sunday morning, I once again was reminded of how the Capitol Hill Ward is the best unit of the church, and became incredibly sad that it was no longer our weekly church experience. I love those folks. After Erin and Matt's delicious lunch of homemade roasted tomato soup, Knightley and I headed back to North Carolina in the pounding rain that finally moved in to cool off the rain-starved, overheated mid-Atlantic. Knightley was already making plans of what he wanted to do on his next return to the District, as he stared longingly out the window.

30 Day Challenge Day 28
(see above; post title) that's what this is about.
Um, I have a ton of scars, but I think I'll choose the one on my knee.
Oops, I have scar on BOTH knees. So never mind
right knee.
In the story, I shall name a day, but I really don't know what day it happened on.
This happened a few years ago, maybe in 2008 or something.
As this is a story, I am making everything up except when I get my cut, so I'll put two stars at the beginning of a sentence to let you know when the real part is.
It was a rainy day on Monday. Thunder cracked, and lightning flashed, lighting up everything in a split second.
Molly was staring out the window, cursing the rain silently for spoiling her day of fun that she had had planned out.
Sam was in the sunroom, playing with his cars. He stopped for a moment to glance outside, looking wistfully at all the puddles the rain was making.
Christie was writing in her diary. She loved rain, so nothing was really wrong, except that she wanted to play outside in the puddles.
About an hour later, the rain stopped, much to the joy of Christie, Molly, and Sam. (Emmy was 'busy' playing with her toys, so she didn't really mind anything)
Hurriedly putting on their swimsuits, Christie, Molly, and Sam smiled at the prospect of being able to play in the puddles.
They rushed outside and went to the ditches. The ditches were usually ALWAYS dry and never had anything in them, and weren't much of ditches, but now, they were like swimming pools, except that the water only came up to their knees.
Smiling at eachother, the trio began to splash eachother and push eachother until they fell down and got drenched.
Then they would laugh and try to drag eachother down. They were having such fun, until...
**Christie pushed Molly, who started to laugh, but quickly lost her beaming face when she struck a hidden branch under the water that gashed her knee.
They ran home, while Molly wished that this hadn't happened and spoiled their fun.
Mama fixed everything up and everything was better.
Except that now they couldn't go back out and play, because Mama didn't want anyone else getting hurt.
So Molly's knee quickly healed but is a scar that can be seen even to this day.
That is her scar that she has, and it's (a) story.
I have another scar that I could do a little story about, but it's not quite as dramatic. Like when I was running and I fell off the curb and it's the longest scar I have ever had and have. And when I was jumping on our new fireplace and I slipped and cut my foot in two places but nobody can really see the scars unless you look very carefully.
And when I fell off a friend's skateboard and scarred my knee again and my elbow.
Oh, and when I tried to slip past a gate but it cut me on the stomach and it's a scar (that can hardly be seen, but it's there).
Trust me, I have maybe more than eight scars.
Or more than more.
"A million million."

This one's for all the ladies out there who have ever had a man put a hand on them against their will. If only all such cases would have such a poetic ending. . .
Charles Justo was an Alabama serial rapist who made a habit of stalking college campuses for his next victim and as luck would have it, either his rotten luck or someone else's good luck, his last victim turned out to be none other than a female undercover FBI agent. When he attempted to abduct said agent, thinking she was a college co-ed, said agent proceeded to beat the fuck out of him in the likes of which Mr. Justo had never seen before and then she called for backup. When fellow agents arrived, Mr. Justo was face down in the gravel, whining about police brutality. He later dropped the accusations because he didn't want fellow inmates to know he got his ass kicked by a female. All that aside, he can paint rather well and here's some geese as proof.
This painting is 11x16 (matted on cardboard) and signed Justo in the lower right corner.

Back in my art school days I decided to do my hair up (when I had some) like they did it back in the 1950s, sideburns and all. I was really into 1950s Americana, you know? Hot rods, car hops and authentic Rockabilly music. It didn't hurt either that my dad, Uncle Charlie and my big brother Ron were all very much into the hot rod and drag racing scene. But for these guys it wasn't a passing fad. It still isn't.
The younger sister of a girl I was dating at the time was the first to make the observation. Next, I was approached quite often from complete strangers with, "Say, has anybody ever told you that you look like James Dean?" The next thing you know I was entering the look-alike contest held every year in Fairmount, Ind., and even did some small-time local modeling to boot.
Sounds like I could have been a bit stuck on myself at the time, right? Well, if I'm honest, I'll admit that my family and I had a really good time with my 15 minutes of "fame." Being paid to appear at a car show or at a Halloween or birthday party was fun. In the early and mid-'90s, newspapers were still actually being printed on paper, and occasionally I'd be interviewed for an article. I never posed for Calvin Klein, but I did get my mug in some Sunday edition ads for the young men's department at Swallen's. People would ask me for autographs or to pose for pictures. I had the opportunity to meet folks well known in car-culture circles in part because of my then likeness to the eternal American teenager—folks I would've never had the chance to speak with otherwise. Yup, it was a good time while it lasted.
Now take that tiny taste of recognition and multiply it by about a bajillion or so and maybe that puts into perspective what Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian or Justin Beiber experience 24/7/365. It's addictive. Getting approval and admiration from complete strangers is almost like a drug, I suppose. Even for me, it was pretty cool to see the reaction I'd get from people closer to my folks' age than my own: They'd see me and their faces would brighten, and they'd reminisce about their "good ol' days."
I recently read an article from Fox News that asked the question, "Do Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus have super self-confidence, or a personality disorder?" Miley went on a bit of a photo posting binge to show the world her newly cropped locks that are now dyed a platinum blonde. And as for Kim, she seems to like showing herself in all manner of undress. Regularly. Good thing for me that James Dean kept his clothes on.
If people are honest, those that have experienced even some semblance of fame would admit that a taste of it and the recognition that follows feels good. Everyone likes to be liked and admired. We all seek acceptance.
I'm not a human behavior expert so I can't properly diagnose Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). But I can tell you that once people have placed you on a pedestal, no matter how high or low, it's hard to relinquish that position and get your feet back on terra firma.
But you wanna know what fame can lead to? I saw a fellow James Dean look-alike at the annual festival in Fairmount personally handing out flyers of himself that ended up being trampled on. That was the last time I ever went to Fairmount.
Looking back now, my "15 minutes" was just about that—a mere blink, a quick flick that was there and then it wasn't. Oh and after that, I tried to pull off the Caesar haircut but it didn't really work out.

Quotes About Would Disagree With
Disagreement produces debate but dissent produces dissension. Dissent (which come from the Latin, dis and sentire) means originally to feel apart from others. People who disagree have an argument, but people who dissent have a quarrel. People may disagree and both may count themselves in the majority.

There's no such thing as values in Sharia law, that is what I was trying to explain, it's understood in thousands of different ways by tens of thousands of different institutions, who really disagree with each other far more than they disagree with people of other religions.Send Quote
If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes. I would relax. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I know of very few things that I would take seriously. I would be less hygienic. I would go more places. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less spinach. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary troubles.Send Quote
If the goal is to get the best artists, actors, and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies, Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks.Send Quote
There's a tendency in politics to attribute bad motivation much too quickly, and the sooner you attribute bad motivation to someone you disagree with, the harder it is to find some common ground to make some progress that would give people confidence that you got it more right than wrong.Send Quote
Positive, healthy, loving relationships in your twenties... I don't know if anyone would disagree with it: I think they're the exception, not the norm. People are either playing house really aggressively because they're scared of what an uncertain time it is, or they're avoiding commitment altogether.Send Quote
Here's one truth that perhaps your typical investment counselor would disagree with: if you're comfortably rich and someone else is getting richer faster than you by, for example, investing in risky stocks, so what?! Someone will always be getting richer faster than you. This is not a tragedy.Send Quote
There's a lot of people that I disagree with that I think I could have interesting conversations with. What I don't want to get into is manufactured conflict. I would much rather talk to someone like Dr. Rhonda Patrick or Randall Carlson and be mesmerized by information. I guess in a way that's selfish, or maybe not objective of me. The older (and hopefully wiser) I get the less interested I am in conflict. I don't mind disagreeing with people in a civil way, but I definitely don't want to go out of my way to have an argument unless it's a really important subject.Send Quote
Because I think whenever you sit down with another human being who would absolutely disagree with you on every issue, you learn about them as a person and you relate, in human terms, and it's much more difficult for either side to dismiss out of hand, like that person's a freak, that person's a Nazi.Send Quote
What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.Send Quote
All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital. When critics disagree, the artist is in accord with himself.Send Quote

All of the great leaders down through history have told us we become what we think about. In fact, they have been in complete and unanimous agreement on this point while they disagree on almost every other point. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people rarely think, they simply accept what they see or hear. The next time someone gives you a suggestion, rather than simply accepting and acting on the suggestion - THINK - exercise your reasoning factor. Ask yourself if the suggestion will improve the quality of your life.Send Quote

AICPA Comments on Draft Information Security Awareness Publication
March 26, 2015
The American Institute of CPAs' (AICPA) Information Management and Technology Assurance (IMTA) Executive Committee last month submitted public comments to a National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication developed in partnership with the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding information security awareness for small business.
The draft document (NISTIR 7621 Rev. 1 Small Business Information Security: The Fundamentals) is intended to provide small businesses with a rudimentary guide on establishing information security. The draft document is written in simple, clear language to aid in ease of use by small businesses.
As a profession leader in thought leadership on technology-related risk management, the AICPA has provided guidance to business across a spectrum of sizes. The AICPA's comment letter commends the NIST, SBA and FBI for undertaking the arduous task of facilitating information security program information for small business.
The letter further establishes points to consider in order to strengthen the manner in which small businesses govern technology, as well as line-by-line recommendations to improve, clarify and further strengthen the draft document.
Comments were accepted through February 9, 2015. The agencies are now reviewing the comment letters.

It has been a little quite around here.
I did not intend to take such an extended abscence from the blog, but I did. So there.
I do intend to start posting more frequently. Race season is nigh, I have lots of new gear to get broken in (along with those back muscles I seemingly forgot to workout over the winter) and the weather is finally starting to cooperate (albeit a tad bit windy).
I have still been updating my monthly training as seen in the graphs as the bottom of the page. My February goals were to run 50 miles, cycle for 6 hours and swim 8 miles. I feel as though I will complete the swim, and possibly the run. The bike is probably a no go.
I developed some knee pain from the bikes at the Y so I stop riding them as much and the lack of warm weather has kept me inside. I did finally invest in a cheap trainer so I no longer have any excuses not to be hitting my cycling marks.
My swimming has improved dramatically to the point where I usually do a 1500 meter session everytime I go. Except for tuesday. I had a pretty significant pop in my right shoulder cuff every time I stroked on that side, regardless of how much pressure (or pull) I applied, so I cut Tuesday short. I will get back in on Saturday and see how things go.
Running has improved as well, as long as I wear my compression sleeves. I have no clue if it has become a mental issue at this point or not, but I seems to have lots of shin and ankle pain whenever I do not wear them. I finally retired my Zoot Ali'i 3.0 race shoes and invested in some new Zoot Ultra TT 5.0's. They feel amazing and my trainer set of Zoot are still clicking off the miles. I am trying to start pushing my long runs up towards the half-marathon point, but seem to be moving slowly.
I have my first major even at the end of March, the March in Okarche Du. 5k run, 18mi bike, 5k run. That will be loads of fun and great experience to run and meet all the people in the local tri club I have joined.
I will post more soon, as I have tons I can talk about. See everyone around.

It is interesting to find out what makes a success of something and what doesn't. Belgium has several shows, most of them in Flanders. Kortrijk is probably the most famous, and Brussels is its biggest challenger. Shows in Wallonia have struggled and some disappeared, such as La Louvière and Namur. Charleroi is back but still recovering. The two remaining shows, however, are doing very well, Liège on one side, and Mouscron on the other side of the linguistic border that divides Belgium. The success of Mouscron has lasted now for 40 years, so it's time to celebrate!
It all started in 1974 with a small show for dogs of Group 1 and 2 only on The Nekker, held in large tents with a modest entry of 130 dogs. The second show was a CAC and was held in a Fiat garage, enough to hold 425 dogs. That accommodation proved too small after three years, even when in the meantime the show was spread over two days. Another location was found to accommodate the show for the coming years as it was still growing. The closed factory offered a solution, large enough to accept no less than 2,014 entries in 1983, the largest entry they ever had. For many years the club felt comfortable here but then they had to move again in 1984 they moved to the cosy restored factory where they are now, with one exception, in 1990, when the show was held in Tournai. In '94, '96, '98 and 2000 the show was spread over three days. If I remember, it had to do with the new rules in Belgium with regard to the minimum space that was required for a dog. But this proved not such a popular formula and when you were allowed to bring your own case, the rules changed again and from then on the show has always been held on two days only and since 2002 it has always been a CACIB show growing from 1,264 entries year after year to 1,808 dogs, three dogs more than last year.
The current expo halls are charming and cosy, but parking is a real problem and space is limited. On Sunday, however, the nearby supermarkets open their parking areas to offer more parking space. A very nice gesture, as on Saturday, when supermarkets usually have their busiest day, they need the space themselves. Every spot in an area of 1km around the halls is occupied by cars. But what intrigues me most is why an overcrowded show attracts so many much visitors? Many shows can only dream of the number of visitors that come to this show. Sometimes it is almost impossible to move around and still the show attracts so many visitors. And they stay, most of them stay till the very end to see who won. I just have no reasonable explanation for this phenomenon. Is it for the good food that is available at decent prices? Is it because dog sport is very popular in the area? I was told that people from Wallonia are more "foire" (fair) minded and that is probably the most reasonable and acceptable explanation. It is always very crowded at this show, but here you can clearly see how selfish some exhibitors can be, the main reason for this problem. I have seen some exhibitors bringing five toy dogs to the show and taking more space than others that exhibit five Irish Wolfhounds. They bring the whole family with them, a long chair for each, a table, cool boxes, a few cages and two separate tables to groom their dogs. I wonder why they don't use the grooming area that was provided and I also wonder why they all need to have their cages next to the rings so that visitors cannot see anything but from a distance. They block the passage to others and bring people and dogs in danger.
If this show keeps on growing I think that the only solution will be to forbid any cages around the rings, only standing places would be allowed. Funnily enough, around 1pm most exhibitors start moving back away from the rings, which proves that there is enough space in the cages area. If your dog is on term at 12 noon, there is no need to have your cages and everything right next to the ring at 9am. Leave room for those we are on term first.
A look in the catalogue shows much respect for all those who are no longer with us but who contributed a lot to the success of this show, honorary members and presidents. They all get their place in the catalogue and are not forgotten this way. This is a very nice gesture. There is also a place reserved for the winner of last show. Not with a photo, but mentioned anyway are the helpers, ring stewards (much appreciated), restaurant staff, breeders and judges that are members of the club, but unfortunately, the only flaw is that there are no statistics. So I need to go over the participants list to have an idea.
My eyes fall immediately on a few entries from the United Kingdom, some from Russia and several Finns, which was probably a reason for seeing the three Finnish Judges. Foreign judges always bring some exhibitors with them, a chance for them to become a champion of that country. But a massive number of exhibitors crossed the southern border, the usual phenomenon here in Mouscron. Mouscron is a border town to France. The influence from the Netherlands and Germany was nothing compared to other Belgian shows. On Saturday, due to the discomfort caused by the lack of parking, smaller groups were planned and it worked, as only 763 dogs were on term that day. And due to the bad weather that day, many of them didn't turn up. The weather forecast for Sunday was better, but the morning could be still cause serious trouble and it did, frozen glass. The committee gave orders to open the doors an hour earlier but even that was not enough to prevent a queue waiting to enter the halls. It promised to be a very busy day as the remaining more than one thousand dogs were on term. But to face these problems a strong team of judges was invited, 17 in total, 8 Belgians, 3 Finns, and one from Israel, one from Norway, one from Russia, one from Slovenia, another from Ireland and one from Latvia, and some were very, very busy. Like Mrs De Ridder from Belgium. She had 108 dogs on Sunday, not an abnormal number if you know that she had the Chinese Cresteds (36) and Chihuahuas (41). She finished the weekend as second most popular judge of the weekend with 163 dogs.
Mr Deschuymere, Secretary of the Mouscron club, came very close. He was relaxed on Saturday with only 25 dogs, but a hundred more were waiting for him on Sunday, including 43 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. With 125 dogs on one day he was the best scoring judge for Sunday and he finished with 150 dogs for the weekend.
Another good scoring judge was Mrs J. Klucniece from Latvia. She had 29 Bulldogs and 32 Great Danes on Saturday and 99 dogs on Sunday, 62 French Bulldogs, the best scoring breed, and 29 Pugs. Mrs M. Kavcic from Slovenia was pretty busy on Saturday when she had 86 dogs. Her popular breed that day was the Newfoundland with 38 specimens. With the 71 dogs of Sunday she had a total score of 157 entries. Mr and Mrs Lehkonen-Heikkinen from Finland were the hit of the weekend. They were good for 330 dogs or over 18% of the entries. Mr Lehkonen had no less than 109 dogs on Saturday, the best score on Saturday. These popular breeds helped him to reach this number; 22 Bull Terriers, 33 Staffordshire Bull Terriers and 42 American Staffordshire Terriers. Sunday didn't bring him any relief. He had 102 entries, including 46 Labradors and 50 Golden Retrievers. His total for the weekend was 211, which made him finish in first place.
Best In Show judging was an honour granted to Mrs A. Ganami-Kertes from Israel. She had 68 dogs on Saturday and managed to attract 26 Dogue De Bordeaux and 17 Mastiffs to Mouscron. On Sunday she had 78 dogs when she did all the Poodle varieties and some companion breeds. With a total of 146 entries, she proved to have been a good investment. Mrs Ganami was asked to select only two dogs, the BIS and the Res BIS. Her Reserve went to the Weimaraner, Grey Classic's I Kick Azz, a two year old Champion male, bred by Kristina and Edwin Lenaerts from Belgium. The dog was judged by Mrs P. Heikkinen, who also selected him for the finals when judging the Group in the main ring. The title of BIS went to France, where Pascal and Eric Lassero-Richard are taking care of Vannjty Guillaume The Conqueror, the 17 month old Pekingese male. Mr Deschuymere judged him on Sunday when he won from 8 competitors. Mrs J. Klucniece from Latvia offered him the cup of the Group and his ticket for the finals.
The owners could take him home safely, as on Sunday afternoon, the sun showed up, announcing the end of the Belgian winter.
I can give you the dates for next year, 25th and 26th of January so that you can reserve that date right now.

Zhesht Events is a promotional entity consisting of young enthusiasts with the aim of organizing metal concerts and festivals in Armenia and Georgia. We are the organizers of Highland Metalfest, Metal Attack, Persian Metal Festival, Saturnus in Armenia and other events and intend to continue bringing European and American bands and organizing high quality events in the region.
Persian Metal Festival is over!
First ever Persian Metal Festival is over and it was a blast! First of all thanks to M.O.P. music group for handling most of the hard work, this wouldn't work without you guys! Thanks to the bands, that travelled all the way from Iran at great risk, to make this festival as successful as it was. Also thanks to everyone involved in the process, the supporters and of course kudos to everyone who showed up to the festival and the afterparty. And last, but not least - Arsames! These guys totally rocked! Cheers!
As you may have noticed, two of the announced bands, Slave Mark and Death Fuse, weren't able to participate in the festival. As a matter of fact we never heard of them since their telephone call from the Iranian-Armenian border. We certainly hope that they are safe and would be grateful for any info about them. Stay strong, brothers!
Zhesht Events will continue delivering high class events in Armenia, so stay tuned for more metal!!!

Make no mistake—when critics make lists or give awards for the year's best films, it's all very nice that they mention little gems like Carol or serious pictures like Spotlight. This year, there's even been stubborn support for Mad Max: Fury Road, the rare multiplex action flick that garners critical praise. But the utter domination of Disney's Star Wars wager—a brilliantly managed coup across all platforms, as they say—almost certainly has bigger implications than anybody imagined. On the one hand, it confirms our culture's yearning for perpetual youth; so close is the movie to its original source, it's practically a return to the womb.
On a somewhat more encouraging note, the Force's awakening reveals the need for the communal experience. Not so fast there, Netflix-and-chill future. People still like to gather and celebrate in large groups—even in an era when going to theaters may carry a risk of terrorist attention. Happily, that dark side didn't stand a chance against the Force.
If big movies got more childlike, there was plenty to be challenged by in 2015. American indies saw their best crop in years, from gutsy debuts like The Diary of a Teenage Girl and Tangerine to misfit creations like Buzzard and The Mend. Lots of terrific foreign filmmakers worked various edges, too—yet still struggled to find a niche in the arthouse box office. At one time unusual pictures such as La Sapienza and Amour Fou might've caught on and become cult pictures, but it's hard to find a spot in this saturated movie market. Westerns had a good year—Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and The Revenant (not yet released here, but a 2015 film) led the way, not forgetting the quirky Slow West. But did anybody see Bone Tomahawk? Has anybody even heard of Bone Tomahawk? Because this gory horror-Western is a true original.
Other winners included older actors, with meaty lead roles for pros like Charlotte Rampling (45 Years), Ian McKellen (Mr. Holmes), and Michael Caine (Youth). But one older actor must be counted among the year's losers: the beloved Bill Murray. Rock the Kasbah and Aloha were belly flops, and what was the deal with his conceptual Netflix Christmas special? Another loser: teasing the audience. The returns for the final Hunger Games movie were, surprisingly, smaller than those of the previous installment—the decision to split the literary series' last book into two films created resentment after Mockingjay—Part 1 turned out to be a cynical place-holder.
But never mind. The future is all lightsabers anyway. Here are the 10 best movies of 2015, with a rendition of Bill Murray's Star Wars theme sung to the following:
1) 45 Years Just before their 45th anniversary, a comfy English couple (Charlotte Rampling, Tom Courtenay) get a revelation about the distant past—and about a secret that went unacknowledged over the decades. Andrew Haigh's quiet film creates a little world, full of detailed behavior—and then in its final moments, it slays you. This is the year's most haunting work. (Opens Jan. 29)
2) Son of Saul A film about the Holocaust, but not like any you've seen before. Set inside Auschwitz, Hungarian filmmaker Laszlo Nemes' movie keeps you within inches of its hollowed-out protagonist, a prisoner who aids the Nazi extermination in exchange for a few more weeks of life. (Opens Jan. 29)
3) Bridge of Spies The year's most satisfying Hollywood production, an impeccable Cold War story about the U.S. lawyer (Tom Hanks) who negotiated a fair trial for a Russian spy (the marvelous Mark Rylance) and a tense prisoner exchange in Berlin. They don't make them like this anymore, but Steven Spielberg does.
4) Experimenter Michael Almereyda's film about "obedience experiments" professor Stanley Milgram (Peter Sarsgaard, using his innate smarm) is itself experimental—this is anything but a straight biopic. The intriguing question proposed here is whether movies might be the ultimate obedience experiment.
5) It Follows You know there's hope for movies when someone can take the most worn-out genre—not another teen slasher picture!—and make a mysterious, new kind of experience. So kudos to David Robert Mitchell, a Detroit filmmaker who makes you study every inch of the screen for hints of danger.
6) Clouds of Sils Maria Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart play a great actress and her very modern assistant in Olivier Assayas' look at how a residue of mystery still seems to exist in this wired, YouTubed world.
7) Ex Machina A nifty sci-fi concept and execution from first-time director Alex Garland. A billionaire brainiac (Oscar Isaac in juicy form) introduces his girlish Artificial Intelligence 'bot (Alicia Vikander) to a computer nerd (Domhnall Gleeson). In this minimalist cautionary tale, Garland plays by the rules—and the payoff is sinister but exactly right.
8) The Assassin Not your average martial-arts movie, this gorgeously photographed film seems to leave out plot details—actually, it also leaves out large parts of the kung fu fighting. But isn't the fighting the point? Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien says no.
9) Spotlight As for hitting all the storytelling buttons—and serving up an astonishment of acting riches—it's hard to argue against this blistering account of how The Boston Globe exposed the Catholic church's cover-up of sexual abuse and the clergy.
10) The Duke of Burgundy A '60s-style hothouse number about the bizarre relationship between two women in a lonely country house. An absolutely strange experience, director Peter Strickland's drama is another one of those should-have-been-a-cult-hit movies.
The second 10, just missing: The droll Swedish film A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence ; Mad Max: Fury Road, maybe not as good as the fanboys say, but definitely good; the straightforwardly lovely Brooklyn; Viggo Mortensen in the magical Jauja; Bone Tomahawk; Mississippi Grind; the devastating documentary The Look of Silence ; The Hateful Eight ; the pictorially astonishing The Revenant ; and—why not—Star Wars: The Force Awaken s.

After years of anticipation, Trinity Leeds has finally opened for the public and there is now an Apple store in town. No longer will I have to drive all the way to Sheffield to sort out any Mac or iphone issues!
I can remember the same buzz and excitement when the Bull Ring in Birmingham opened nearly a decade ago.
Visiting Birmingham, my hometown I have always thought that what the Bull Ring was missing was a flagship place to dine. Luckily Trinity Leeds has such a place as my other half and I found out.
Two restaurants, Crafthouse and Angelica occupy the fifth and sixth floors of Trinity. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Lee Bennett, he and his team have been able to create two very unique dining experiences with only a spiral staircase between them.
Crafthouse showcases the very best of Yorkshire produce with wines that are paired with the dishes. Whereas upstairs at Angelica the food is striped back, letting the flavours of the local produce complement extensive cocktail menu.
Both restaurants use locally sourced produce, with suppliers such as The Ginger Pig, The Staal Smokehouse Venture Seafoods and Dales Dairies featuring on both menus.
We ate at Angelica, the restaurant is a cool mix of chrome and glass. Over by the kitchen the display of the stunning fresh fish that is on offer caught my eye as well as the stunning selection of spirits that are displayed around the circular bar.
The large sweeping windows means that you can see Leeds in its panoramic glory. There is also a wrap round terrace which, will be brilliant in the summer.
I did venture out there to take some photos and was glad to see that there was plenty of outdoor heating.
Angelica has an extensive cocktail menu so we asked the waiter for her recommendation. She suggested that we try the Walk the line. This is a whiskey based cocktail made with pineapple juice and cardamon seeds. Not being a big whisky drinker, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this cocktail was.
The menu is a mix of small plates, sushi and larger dishes, these are ideal for sharing. I was a little confused at first but just asked for some recommendations before we ordered: http://www.angelica-restaurant.com/uploads/pdf/angelica_menu_v1.pdf
Between the two of us we had the salt sea brisket in sourdough, salmon yuzu, steak & chips and lobster mac. As much as we both enjoyed all of it, the lobster mac was by far my favourite. I could have eaten mountains of the stuff, the creamy sauce and melt in the mouth morsels of lobster were simply addictive.
For dessert, warm seaside doughnuts, presented on a stick with cream and an apple compote. The doughnuts reminded me of the anticipation of waiting at the doughnut stall and seeing them fall out of the fryer before being scooped up on a stick, rolled in sugar an placed in a bag.
The other half went for the burnt Cambridge cream which was like a creme brûlée with a perfect crack when breaking the burn caramel topping.
As our table at dinner was right by the staircase to Crafthouse we had a look downstairs afterwards and were impressed with what we saw.
Overall we both enjoyed our visit to the Angelica. There were a few small issues with the service, but seeing that our visit was during the soft launch I am sure that they will have been resolved before we make our next visit. Crafthouse is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner so I am sure that this will be very soon.

The 15-track tape features appearances from Casanova, Fetty Wap, CashPaid Elway, and a couple of other notable faces in the rap game. To say that we're excited for new Snap is an understatement. How has his artistry evolved since the release of his remixes? That's a question that will be answered in less than a week.

Five Of The Best Bay Area Music Videos Of The Week
Get ready for warm weather and exposed skin. The Bay Area music video scene is unlike no other; you'll be exposed to sun-drenched locales on much more occasion than regular. We've found our five favorite music videos of the week that'll offer up some distinct Bay flavor to the larger world. Check them out below:
Enjoy Hip Hop's Birthday With These Classics
Today in August of 1973, a Back To School Jam was thrown by teenager Cindy Campbell with the goal of getting enough money to get some clothes for school. To help with this goal, she enlisted the help of her brother Clive Campbell and his DJing skills to handle the party. The sounds created in that room would go on to become the first rumblings of the genre that we now know today as hip-hop, the number one most consumed genre in the world.
In celebration of the most important day in the culture that we inhibit, here are some jams to commemorate this legendary day.
Three Reasons Why @zaaymusic_ 's 'BLNCE Is The Album You Need To Hear
Zaay is one of our new favorite rappers. His new project BLNCE is, upon first listen, one of our favorite albums of the year. There's so much to love about it – from the production to the lyrics, it's got the full package. Here's three reasons why it's something for you to check out:
The Production Is Out Of This World
Many producers go for a trap sound that is in line with what's popular right now. It often works, spawning a temporary fixation on the artist's work, but it's usually evaporates within a week. BLNCE is made up of soulful sounds that aren't unlike anything you'll hear right now. The closest that I could accurately compare it to would be Friday Night Lights-era J. Cole because of just how smooth it is. From beginning to end, thirteen tracks exactly, it consists of a certain kind of vibrant brilliance that stays with you long after the album ends.
Lyricism Is The Main Focus
Zaay takes his time here to establish his powerful lyrical talents. He switches flows here like he switches flows, rapping circles around much of his competition, in the industry and outside of it. My personal favorite is the tantalizing "L.I.D." that features a powerhouse performance by him that really brings you into his world of psychologically vivid rhymes. Each of the features here is held to the same lyrical standard. Drew Famous' contribution is perhaps the best thanks to his own idiosyncratic delivery.
It Challenges You To Look Beneath The Surface
If you take the time to peruse SoundCloud projects from rising artists, you'll find that most of them lack having a overarching theme. The artists are trying to get on, so they create projects with a slew of what they hope to be hits with the ideal scenario being that one of them gets them signed. Zaay's project is created with the sole idea revolving around the types of balance that exist in one's life. This lets the project warp its creative energy around a central focus, making it ten times better than much of what you'll find online.
