The hottest ticket in Columbia this weekend might be the 4th annual Bojangles' Bash that begins Thursday at Ridge View High School.
Last year, the elite high school basketball showcase sold out three times – twice on Friday and again on Saturday. The same expectations are in place over the three-day span that will see 20 teams participate in 15 games.
It starts on Thursday with four games highlighted by Huntington Prep (West Va.) taking on Gray Collegiate. Another four games are on tap Friday, with Saturday offering seven games that begin at noon.
Brian Rosefield, the AD at Ridge View and showcase director, couldn't be more pleased.
"It's a testament to the folks we have working the event," Rosefield said. "Bojangles is a top-notch organization and they've made it easy for us. Our goal is to be able to take care of the coaches, players and fans and with that as a backdrop, the event keeps growing and growing."
When the event first came under the Bojangles' Bash banner in 2013, it had six games over two days. It has grown.
"We get calls, emails and request through social media to come be a part of it," he said. "It's a little bit overwhelming the feedback we get from the teams that have been here before. They spread the way they were treated by word of mouth and that's the best advertising you can do. It's a win-win for everyone involved.
"We've branded it as a national, elite showcase for high school basketball and that's what we want to continue to do."
Gray Collegiate has been a part of the event previously and coach Dion Bethea is glad to return. The War Eagles opened the season nationally ranked by USA Today and have standout talent in UNC commit Jalek Felton and highly regarded sophomore Juwan Gary.
"It's an honor because we were one of the first participants and we appreciate them calling us back," Bethea said. "This isn't your average high school event."
Rosefield expects 4,500 to 5,000 fans to crowd into the Ridge View gym over the three-day span. Five of the Top 100 recruits are expected to play.

Rush Limbaugh recently said on his show that he finds it had to believe Fox News is the ONLY place where sexual harassment of women occurs.
We aren't defending sexual harassment, we just think it's a little bit strange that it's only being reported at one company.
Bill O'Reilly was taken out.
Sean Hannity was in the hot seat until his accuser retracted her claims.
Trending: Watch: When Americans 'Steal' Illegal Immigrants' Job
And now Jesse Waters has come under fire.
As part of his commentary on the new prime time "The Five," Watters and the rest of the panel were discussing Ivanka Trump's appearance in Berlin at a women's conference where she was booed for saying her father supported families.
As he was wrapping up his commentary, he said "I don't really know what's going on there, but I really liked how she was speaking into that microphone."
Here's the full clip of Jesse Watters saying he liked how Ivanka "was speaking into that microphone." pic.twitter.com/hwfJl3jil5
— David Mack (@davidmackau) April 26, 2017
Liberals immediately jumped all over him for that comment. They claimed he was making a rude sexual gesture.
(By the way, it's still okay to boo her in their eyes.)
When a company sends the clear signal that women are basically sub-human, vile behavior thrives even after top offenders are fired.

Congratulations, Jesse Watters, you're a disgusting pig as well as being a racist moron. https://t.co/lZbydxIV7l
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) April 26, 2017
Can't believe we have to go over this again. Ahem.
YOU CAN HATE IVANKA WITHOUT MAKING BLOW JOB JOKES. Do not make me feel empathy for her.
— Geraldine (@everywhereist) April 26, 2017
Watters did refute the claim…
On air I was referring to Ivanka's voice and how it resonates like a smooth jazz radio DJ. This was in no way a joke about anything else.
— Jesse Watters (@JesseBWatters) April 26, 2017
…but it wasn't enough for liberals.
Attorney Lisa Bloom, who represented Bill O'Reilly's accusers, took a direct hit at Watters in a series of tweets.
Jesse, I know you work in an environment that reduces every woman to sexual plaything, but you're still responsible for your own sleaze. https://t.co/r7ol2jp5DM
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) April 26, 2017
We all saw your hand to mouth gesture on the video.
We're watching how you demean women.
We brought O'Reilly down.
Maybe you should be next. https://t.co/nxrxrretTN
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) April 26, 2017
The BizPac Review reports that Watters will now be taking the next two days off from "The Five."
It's unknown if this is just coincidence or not.
His weekend show, "Watters' World," will be guest-hosted by Fox News colleague Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Watters said he's taking a short vacation to be with family and plans to be back on Monday.
During the week before Bill O'Reilly's dismissal, he was also reported to have been on vacation. Hmm.
Let us know in the comments below.

Transfers - Why does it bother you?Transfers are always a hot topic on here, especially when certain teams get them. I'm curious to know from people who have an issue with transfers, what exactly is your issue?
I personally have no problems at all with a transfer, whether or not the family moves into a district. They should be able to attend school where they want as long as there is room.Advertisement
Dec 27, 17, 10:27 AM #2I like parity in HS sports. Kids transferring because they want to be a part of a super team or because daddy does not think they are getting the playing time they deserve drives me crazy.
Dec 27, 17, 10:39 AM #3
I have no issues with kids transferring to other schools or districts

No, I kid. I'm with you and Deuce on this one. Play where you want to play. Standardized testing is making a mockery of the "student" in student-athlete anyway. Let them pick where their developing minds go to be, in most cases, stunted.
Dec 27, 17, 11:10 AM #5
As long as the transfer is done within the rules, who cares. If you want to cry about the rules, change them.

Dec 27, 17, 12:02 PM #7Simply put, fix your school and parents won't transfer their children to other schools. In my area, there are three schools that routinely get student transfers more so then the other schools. Those three schools are the highest in the area in test scores, student achievement and the number of students that attend and graduate college. Coincidentally, those three schools do pretty well in sports as well. Schools that do well academically, normally do pretty well athletically.
Dec 27, 17, 12:07 PM #8I have no problem with transfers, in fact, I may even be guilty one day of transferring my kid if the set of circumstances calls for it.
I do have a major problem with illegal recruiting at the high school level and transfers that are non compliant.
I think that "illegal" transfers and "recruiting" do not happen nearly as much as people think.

Dec 27, 17, 12:16 PM #10Though noone asked for it, here is my .02 on transfers:
People get all up in arms because it is "sports" related. The way I see it is if a parent wants to give their child an opportunity for success, and they do it by the books (in terms of legitimate change of address, paying tuition, providing transportation), then I applaud them for that.
People don't bat an eye when someone chooses to send Sally to a private school or a school district where academics are superior. In my mind, there is little to no difference in this compared to trying to better a kids' circumstances whether by increasing the likelihood of an athletic scholarship, playing for a more organized athletic program, playing for a coach that best fits what they want their child to learn under, or being part of a winning culture with increased involvement from the community.
I think it is silly that simply because of mythical district lines that a parent should not have ultimate say on where their child should attend school if they are willing to play by the rules to send their child elsewhere.
Now with all that said, if someone is trying to "beat the system", whether on the parent side of things or the school/coaching side of things and are not following the rules, in that case I take issue.
While I am on the soapbox, I have NO issue with scholarships at the High School Level to less privileged families and students under the exact same guise... that the scholarships are fairly and accurately being handed out.

Transfers are fine, just don't go around talking about how great your teams tradition is and how we just work harder than everyone else when the star RB or QB happens to be from some other district, city or county. When Pineville plays Lynn Camp it "Should" be with kids from those communities not an All Star Team picked from the surrounding areas.

High School Sports at it's core is one city versus another or one county versus another for bragging rights on the field or court. That is no longer what we have in Kentucky or in most states now...I'd be willing to bet there isn't a state champion in Kentucky that drew all of their players solely from their geographic district. I'm sure someone could show me the paper work proving each kid "lives" inside the geographic boundaries but the people that really know what's going on know that's not what's going on. At some point those kids went elsewhere and "legally transferred" into the district to play on a better sports team. And that is fine, just don't tell me how great your little 1A school is compared to everyone else when you are drawing players from a base the size of a 3A or 4A school.
Dec 27, 17, 12:32 PM #13I don't necessarily mind transfers for legitimate reasons (new job, death in family, divorce, etc. etc.).
I do have a problem with the reasons behind some (most) (okay, pretty much all) transfers.

A 21-year-old waitress got pink-slipped after she was found lying in Orlando Bloom's bed after she and the actor indulged themselves immensely during the night.
Viviana Ross, 21, was serving Orlando Bloom, 40, at a restaurant during his stay in London where the Lord of the Rings star hit to promote his new movie film "Unlocked".
The Encounter
The waitress and Bloom got along instantly. Then, after Ross had her shift ended, she found Bloom standing outside the luxury Chiltern Firehouse restaurant and hotel where Bloom asked her to spend the night together in his suite.
Bloom walked out of the hotel in the morning, heading for an interview; however, Ross was lying in bed till her manager found her in an unusual position.
"You work here?" the manager asked, according to Ross' friend.
She responded, "Yes, why?"
"But he just closed the door and within an hour she received a text message saying she was sacked. Just like that. She was informed her contract had been terminated. She left the hotel and has not been back since. Viviana was not working when she went back to the room. It was on her own personal time," a friend of Ross told The Sun.
"Real Chemistry"
The source revealed that the was real chemistry between the young lady and Mr Bloom "from the moment they saw each other"; however, she did not regret the incident as she indulged herself immensely and had a whale of time with the actor, noting that " he was an exceptionally good lover."
Notably, Ross left Romania and decided to hit the UK two months ago to seek a film career path, moreover, joined a cast in the lead role in an independent action movie titled "One Shot Left."
"I don't work at the Firehouse anymore and I won't comment on anything that happened there," Ross told The Sun.

Moving can be a stressful activity, especially if you do not get a reliable company for moving to carry out the project on your behalf. Customers need to know the right steps they can take to land the best company for moving that can offer better services. To get a reliable partner for moving such as Big City Moving Company, you need to conduct a thorough research first.
First, you need to know what you want. What this means is to understand the type of goods you want to move. Are you moving your residential house, office, or a commercial workplace? Knowing the type of your project helps you identify a company that can meet your needs adequately in terms of size and cost.
While most people use the internet to find moving companies, it is advisable to start local if you want a dependable company such as Big City Moving Company. Working with a local company for moving comes with several advantages. First off, the company is near you, so you will not spend time and energy going to look for the service provider.
Besides, a company located miles way can use that to charge additional expenses for fuel and time taken to reach your premises. If you want a reliable company for moving in the footsteps of Big City Moving Company, stick with a local service provider.
Once you identify at least three local companies in your community, you need to take the following steps if you want a reliable moving partner. For example, Big City Moving Company Boston MA, is one such company that can give you dependable when it comes to moving. However, how can you land such a good company? The following steps may be helpful:
1. When you select a company for moving, you should focus on experience as the first qualification for better service. A company with less than seven years of experience will not give you reliable service so you should avoid it and move on to another service provider.
2. To find reliable moving services, do not involve a moving broker. Involving a broker in your moving process will result in extra charges, as the broker requires a percentage of the cost. To avoid such pitfalls, you need to hire a reliable company for moving such as Big City Moving Company in Boston. Such companies deal with their customers directly without involving a broker.
3. Have an appointment with your customer: arrange to meet the mover in your home so he can see the project before he provides you with a quote. A company that is unwilling to come to your home may not be a dependable provider. Beware of movers that give an estimate even before they see the project.
4. Check the trucks and storage facilities of the company to verify if they have professional labels. Make sure they bear the name and logo of the company. If possible, find time to visit the company's premises and check if they are legally established. Ask for their license and have a chat with the staff to know more about their services.
If you want the best moving partners in Boston, choose Big City movers Boston MA. You can reach them on http://www.bigcitymovingco.com/.

Thank you, Bella for such a great prompt! I had a difficult time choosing just one photo.
This is my choice for today: This is the view, looking up, poolside from my vacation condo. Today is chilly here (-3C) and I love looking back to the warmer weather we left behind.
Here are a few of my other contenders for the prompt:
The view from inside the car as we cross the Thousand Islands Bridge into the United States. (Always an exciting time, full of anticipation)
The Spanish Moss hanging from Live Oak trees always fascinates me. It seems so exotic, compared with what is in my part of the world.
A sudden rain storm produces a beautiful rainbow. If you look closely you can see a double rainbow forming.
One of the many churches seen while driving on Broad Street in Charleston, SC
The early morning view on my driveway, looking up at the security light shining on one of my maple trees. The leaves are almost ready to drop.
…and last but not least, looking straight up, seeing a pretty blue sky and a vapour trail from a passing aircraft.
Thank you for visiting. Remember to visit Bella's 52 Photos Project to see what everyone else has posted this week.
Until next time, Connie 😄

|Spotlight on the United Nations Summit
(Washington, D.C.) August 9, 2016 — Prompted by concern for the unprecedented increase in the number of refugees and migrants in the world and the humanitarian crisis that has resulted from the failure of the international community to address the root causes of this increase and to respond to the needs of refugees and migrants compassionately, effectively, and in accordance with international law, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has called a High Level Meeting to Address Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants, to take place next month in New York.
Over the past several months, a series of preparatory meetings among governments and UN representatives have taken place, with input from civil society organizations. This process has resulted in a newly-released draft Outcome Document, and a series of commitments to principles and actions.
Early response to the document has been mixed, with great disappointment expressed that certain specific commitments referenced in earlier documents have been watered down or omitted. A proposed agreement to offer resettlement to 10 percent of the world's refugees, was cut from the final draft, and a statement that the detention of children is never acceptable was changed at the insistence at the U.S. government.
At best, the present document represents a joint exercise by states to collect, set out and reaffirm existing international law and good practice, and to pledge that the standards they embody, now too often ignored, will be put into wider use. It also recognizes a broad, emerging consensus on certain new principles for future action that have gained some traction over the past several years, such as the creation of opportunities for refugees to achieve self-sufficiency through access to legal work and to training; greater access for refugee children to quality education, including wider access to early childhood and tertiary education, an initiative strongly supported by Jesuit Refugee Service; greater support to refugee hosting communities and local governmental and private organizations; and more extensive engagement of development actors in support to refugee-affected countries.
On the migration side, the document is clear that all migrants, regardless of their legal status, must be treated in accordance with their human rights as set forth in international law, a fact too-often forgotten by governments dealing with mixed movements.
In many respects, the high-minded declarations contained in the draft document are making a virtue out of a necessity. It has become woefully clear that traditional aid funding is far from sufficient to meet the most basic needs of people seeking refuge in neighboring countries. This failure to ease the suffering of desperate families has contributed to large onward migrations of people trying to reach the "promised land" in the form of developed countries in Asia and the West, often with great loss of life.
Those who take such risks should be welcomed with compassion and solidarity. They must not be forced to do so by hunger and hopelessness. Badly shaken by the scale of recent migration, many destination countries have awakened to the fact that the widening gap between the amount and quality of support that can be provided by traditional sources and methods and growing needs has created a humanitarian catastrophe that they ignore at their peril. They have now awakened to the necessity to enlist wider resources, whether by enlisting institutions such as the World Bank to unleashing the talents and energies of refugees themselves.
This realization offers some reason for hope that the fine words of the Outcome Document may lead to some positive actions, despite the deserved skepticism that such diplomatic exercises usually engenders. As a sign of cautious optimism, organizations such as Jesuit Refugee Service/USA are working together to support the development of a process to encourage action on the commitments and to monitor their implementation. The problems they seek to address will not go away of their own accord. Now is the time to summon all hands on deck to bring old principles and new ideas together to find solutions.

Jeana Yeager
Jeana Yeager, born in Fort Worth, Texas, co-piloted the Rutan Voyager during a non-stop flight around the globe in 1986. The Voyager was one of the first aircraft to be constructed primarily of lightweight graphite-honeycomb composite materials. It took five years of meticulous planning by fellow pilot Dick Rutan and his brother, aircraft designer Burt Rutan, before Yeager and Rutan could begin their odyssey. The record-setting flight took 9 days, 3 minutes, and 44 seconds with no stops for refueling. The pair established six new world records and earned the Presidential Citizens Medal from President Ronald Reagan in 1986. The Voyager now hangs in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

text: Hi all, I'm new to the forum and to aquariums. I originally got it for my cat, but she could care less, and I care a lot I've been thru all the "new hobbyist" crises, and already have a "nursery" with babies. One male and 2 female mollies. One of the females is shimmying and has a red "sore" just behind her gills on each side. I've only tested the amonia/nitrite/nitrate so far. Need to get a pH test and am waiting for salt and a thermometer to come in the mail. Is this something obvious that I can tell my local fish store (not PetSmart), and they'll know immediately? Or should I try to take a photo or draw a picture for them. The troubled molly female is pale gold. The other 2 are dalmations. TIA, and very glad to find a helpful group to get me thru these little crises. If I should post this in the beginner forum, pls let me know. I wanted to say "hi" and relate the problem at the same time.

Compassionate conservatism was a thing in the late 1990s and 00s. For the life of me I can't recall the last time I heard the expression used in a serious conversation. Maybe that's because compassionate conservatism, like most political orientations packed into a slogan, wasn't serious. It certainly didn't help that the expression conjured up an image of regular old run-of-the-mill conservatism as downright mean, even frightening. Anyway, I don't expect it to return to the forefront of our politics anytime soon, especially not in the era of "Tea Party" conservatism and, on the opposite end of the spectrum, a gross mixture of social libertinism and state-managed capitalism. This is why I am issuing a modest, measured, and above all mirthful call for #friendlyfascism. In a day and age when so many traditionally disenfranchised, even oppressed, groups have "taken back" certain words of derision, is it not time for us, concerned citizens of the United States who have grown indifferent toward, nay, disgusted with the present socio-economic ordo to take back the original F-Word?

Well, it is time for a Republican rebrand, after all, so why not give up the crypto- part of crypto-fascism?
Unfortunately, "compassionate conservatism" was brushed aside with 9/11. As to how serious it was ever meant to be really, Bush wasn't in office long before Islamic terrorism and our reaction in Afghanistan and Iraq became the dominant theme.
Oh no, they're back!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-reich/the-new-compassionate-con_b_6501894.html

The team formerly known as the Wyoming Wildfire has changed ownership this offseason. To make this change more visible, the new management has decided to rebrand the franchise and change the name to Breizh Hermines.
The new design is based on Brittany historical flag (Breizh in breton language). This flag is called "Gwenn ha Du" (which means black and white in breton language). The flag design is largely inspired by the flags of the USA and Greece as both nations were seen at the time as symbols of liberty and democracy. Various stripes depict the original Breizh regions (9 of them, 5 speaking "gallo" and 4 speaking "breizh"), while the symbol is the ducal symbol of an ermine and is the symbol of long lived independance of the Duchy of Brittany which was independent from France until the late 15th century when Duchesse Anne married french king Charles VII to become Queen of France.
The hermine is the french version of american weasel and is known as "Mustela erminea" and is largely used in heraldic as a symbol of royalty (fleur de lys is another more known widely used symbol for royalty).
Hermines are fast and agile and that's what we are going to do in this league.
Breizh Hermines vaincra !
The design while inspired by the breizh flag has been 100% by our graphics master cuervo72. A big thanks to you. I really enjoy that aspect of multi player leagues.

After not having a Face Friday last week I decided something must be done this week for it. For this, I've been working on a quite minimal face with a tropical theme. This means lots of corals are involved, along with some other light colours.
- Tinted Moisturiser: MeMeMe – Flawless Tinted Moisturiser (02 – Beige Blush)
- Powder: Mary Kay – Sheer Dimensions Powder (Lace Coral)
- Blush: Benefit – Cha Cha Tint
- Blush: Benefit – Coralista
- Brows: Maybelline – Brow Drama (Medium Brown)
- Shadow: butter LONDON – Wink Cream Shadow – Lid (Sun Kiss)
- Undereye: Shiseido – Sheer Eyezone Corrector (103 Natural)
- Liner: Rimmel – SpecialEyes Mono Shadow – Used Wet (244 Moonstone)
- Mascara: Mary Kay – Ultimate Mascara (Black)
- Lipstick: Mary Kay – True Dimensions Lipstick (Color Me Coral)
- Real Techniques – Multi Task Brush – Blush
- Real Techniques – Buffing Brush – Powder
- Blank Canvas – E30 – Liner (Lid)
- Royal & Langnickel – C260 Taklon Shadow Brush – Eyeshadow (Blend between shadow & liner)
- No. 7 – Lip Brush – Lipstick
I really like the minimalistic, yet colourful look that this creates. It's also the first time that I've done a white liner, and while I don't have an actual white liner, the wet shadow did a lovely job. I love how that turned out, and may have to invest in an actual liner for it.

Reading, writing arithmetic and the fourth 'R', ROCK!
- 2:34 pm Tuesday, May 31st, 2016 by Pete Rizzo
Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott once said 'Four little words mean so much'. He and his comrades in Def Leppard ought to know. They began one of their classic tunes with those famed words (albeit in the form of completely legendary gobbledygook).
Which four words, you ask? They're the first numbers we learn in school, and they have also started some amazing tunes over the years.
Some of my favorite '1, 2, 3, 4' kickoffs include the aforementioned Leps:
Not sure why Bono decided to with '1, 2, 3, 14' but in Spanish it sounds bad ass in the opening this terrific U-tune.

Jamestown – the new place for Carlin's stuff

If you ever wanted to see what a place of George Carlin's legendary stuff looks like, all it will take now is a roughly seven-hour drive deep into upstate new York to see it.
Thanks goes to his daughter Kelly, who is donating a bunch of old set lists, tickets and just about anything in between to the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, New York.
But the artifacts I would love to see are the scrapbooks where he worked on his landmark material. Among his classics,….

A lyrical peek into the last few years of Freddie Mercury's life stands to fetch some serious cash when it goes up for auction this summer.
A notebook once owned by the late Queen frontman has lyrics to several Queen tracks that appeared on the band's last two albums recorded when Freddie was alive, The Miracle and Innuendo.
Hindsight being 20/20, the song that may have best captured Freddie's reflective tone as he was battling AIDS was this amazing tune off of 'The Miracle' (lyrics below).

How do you say "Eruption" in French?!
- 10:34 am Tuesday, May 24th, 2016 by Pete Rizzo
In this case, the answer is "15-year old Tina from France!"
Videos of everyday people doing extraordinary things just make my day. Case in point: the aforementioned Tina absolutely laying waste to the classic Eddie Van Halen guitar solo 'Eruption'.
My favorite part of this video is how easy she makes it, like she could do this legendary solo in her sleep.
What's more, she has many amazing solos to her credit with this 'Best Of' compilation an excellent Cliff Notes version of her work. And by the way, her taste in music is excellent!
Rock and Roll Tai Chi?

My longevity here at BAB and being a life-long rock music lover has certainly bled into my exercise routine over the years. But while I've always used music for my martial arts, weight training and yoga, an unlikely pairing has taken place in recent weeks.
I began doing Tai Chi at the start of the year. And while I love the practice, I've gotten bored with the new age-y soundtrack. So lately I've been pulling up some awesome mellow rock for my sessions. Here are my staples so far:

Still a 'Holy Grail' of lunacy over 40 years later
- 10:21 am Tuesday, May 24th, 2016 by Pete Rizzo
One of Monty Python's landmark exercises in absurdity turns 41 this month, which brings to mind their equally loony sketch show.
41 years ago, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" came out and went on to become one of their best-known films. Helping to lay the groundwork for their flick was their hijinks on "Monty Python's Flying Circus".
To this day, one of my favorite skits was Monty Python's spirited recreation of the Battle of Pearl Harbor,…

Screw fancy cars, private jets and palatial mansions! Here is a lottery winner who has spent some of his winnings on something much more gratifying for me.
A guy in Cambridge, England who won nearly 150 million on the Euromillions lottery a couple of years ago has opened a record store. He's calling it Black Barn Records.

Dave Grohl once said that crowdfunding would be the wave of the future. Boy did he hit the motherlode with that prediction. Turns out one of his biggest fans wants to buy him.
Turns out the superfan has set up a GoFundMe campaign aimed at raising enough money to buy Grohl.
Granted, there's a good chance this won't ever happen. But if any rock star would probably have an absolute blast with this idea, it would be Grohl. Which brings up the question in my head, what would a day with Dave Grohl entail?

S*&#!y Movie Franchises
- 9:41 am Tuesday, May 10th, 2016 by Pete Rizzo
Today the topic du jour is movie franchises, this time around for lousy movies. The reason? The new 'Sharknado' movie is coming out in July.
First off, love the nod to Star Wars in the new title. Secondly, the trailer is crap-tastic greatness.
The list of cameos are getting bigger and more fun.
Are you as psyched for this next round of Velveeta-y goodness? What other bad movies would make awesomely bad movie franchises?

We can't talk Oscars without first applauding that opening monologue. Wowza, talk about not skirting the issue, Mr Rock. (I believe Fight the Power played as he walked onto the stage.) Chris Rock managed to be funny while putting things in perspective and just flat out saying Hollywood is racist. Very high energy. I felt a bit bad for some presenters who appeared staid and stiff next to him. Of course, I couldn't watch to the end, sleep being more important to me than Hollywood. But I saw ALL the clothes. So onto to the frou frou -- let's talk style! … [Read more...]

Oscar Fashion 2015: Best and Worst
With a usual bedtime of 9:30, I knew watching the Academy Awards would be a challenge. Quite frankly though, this year's were so uninspiring that I never even made it to 10 o'clock (thereby missing the "equal work for equal pay" speech which should be totally irrelevant in 2015, but there you have it). Thanks to social media and relentless online coverage, I'd had a good look at all of the outfits before the awards had even started. Furthermore, I was able to catch up on the highlights (Glory!) and lowlights (lock box jokes) on Monday. Now I'm up to speed and ready to bring forth my judgement. … [Read more...]

Polymer based Biosensor for effective detection of Cancer in Human Body
A. Kumar, S. Jung, T. Ji
University of Arkansas, US
Keywords: biosensor, cancer, nanowires, polypyrrol
Abstract:The main aim of the research is to develop a polymer based biosensor for effective detection of cancer in human body. Development of this biosensor is a two step process, the first step is to grow polymer nanowires using electrodeposition method and in the second step we will immobilize antibodies onto the nanowires using EDC cross linking method. This biosensor setup will then be tested by passing blood solution containing cancer antigen biomarkers. A change in signal due to the binding of antigen from the blood onto the antibody indicates that the sensor has detected infected cancer cells present on the blood solution. We develop a polymer based biosensor due to its unique properties such as physical flexibility and low thermal conductivity which increases the chance of implementing the biosensors into a human body.

Build A Tabletop Future With Anvil's Afterlife Volumes
October 3, 2013 by brennon
Anvil Industry have a pretty big project on the cards and it sounds like it could be quite the winner. See what you think of their plans to form a massive narrative world via Afterlife Volumes...
Above is one of their models in the 3D render stage. This Republic Soldier will be designed to have modular armour allowing him to refit with different weapons and armour options on the fly. I think this model is going to look a lot better once it gets to the modelling stage too.
The actual campaign itself, called Afterlife Volumes will provide...
- New range of high quality 28mm scale Science Fiction miniatures.
- Exciting and innovative rules set designed for high speed tactical play.
- Immersive narrative background story with stories , graphic elements and artwork.
- Missions and scenarios which allow players to recreate the ongoing story on the tabletop.
Much like with other projects that floated his idea you will be able to feed back with your reports from battles and other engagements to help shape the world of Afterlife.
Right now they are preparing for Kickstarter so expect to see this launch soon.
What do you think of their prospects?
